Chapter 397 Building a Port

When watching American dramas in the previous life, many people may not understand why those witnesses were clearly terrified, but they were persuaded to stand up in the end.

Including their friends and relatives will join the ranks of persuasion.

It's not that they don't care about each other's safety, but because in their cognition, if everyone has such thoughts, everything they own will be destroyed.

This is the price that American citizens pay for their freedom, but it is not the only one.

If you want American-style freedom, you first need to see clearly how expensive the American citizens pay for 'freedom'.

How many people have been hurt just by holding guns freely.

There is also freedom of speech. After the development of the Internet, online verbal violence abroad is more terrifying than any other country.

This has also caused Americans to have a big heart, and people always like to ridicule the "optimistic and cheerful old beauty." '

In the face of funerals, disasters, and car accidents, he can still show a humorous and smiling side.

That's because in their lives, there are too many heaviness that outsiders cannot understand, so they must learn to be optimistic and cheerful.

There are always people who complain that Rabbit Country is bad or bad, but if they really go to America to live.

If they truly appreciate the heaviness behind 'freedom', they will know how happy their life was.

"I heard from Brother Gou that the security problems in Chicago and Philadelphia have been rising one after another, and even we can't control it?" Monk asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, Harrison Street is safe, it's the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D." Li Zitao knew that he was worried about his neighbors.

When it comes to the recent situation in Chicago, it is indeed a bit chaotic. The FBI has been dispatched for several brutal serial murders, and it is very busy.

The Chicago FBI is investigating an interstate robbery by John Dillinger, a gang member active in the Midwest.

Planned the robbery of 18 banks and 3 police stations, resulting in the tragic death of more than a dozen police officers in Chicago on the streets. After being arrested, he could not prove a large number of criminal facts. In the end, he could only be sentenced to 5 years in prison for the crime of injury.

But just in April, he escaped from Philadelphia again, and the FBI is currently chasing him.

According to the information they have, Dillinger is hiding in Chicago, but no one has found his whereabouts yet.

"Paul can't find it either?" the monk asked in surprise.

"Paul's focus is shifting to Las Vegas. It seems that someone wants to challenge his godfather authority." Li Zitao said casually.

He doesn't care about this kind of thing, as long as you don't provoke him, this kind of gang fight has nothing to do with him even if there is blood in the river.

Now that he is a business tycoon, it is not good for him to get too involved with the gangsters.

Besides, if Paul, who has a shield guard, can't even deal with this little trouble, what is his value?

Compared with these trivial matters, the northern gas field is what he needs to pay attention to, the construction of land transportation pipelines, refineries, and modern wharf construction.

The current pier in Qatar is not enough to accommodate a giant ship of 80,000 tons to dock. The emir must first fix the pier.

According to Li Zitao's plan, the new port will have 11 berths and a coastline of about 2000m.

According to Schlumberger's survey report, the maximum water depth can reach 12.5m, large cranes, and refrigerated container terminals, all of which will be gradually completed.

The fishing and pearling industries in the Persian Gulf have great potential for development. Perhaps it is time to find someone to try to cultivate pearls artificially, and popularize pearls from the exclusive use of nobles to the civilian market.

"Your Excellency Charlie, we need a loan." Emir took his investment consultant with him to discuss the future development with Li Zitao at the hotel.

They want to build a pier, but Qatar currently has no money to pay for it, and all the chiefs are poor.

"I have another suggestion, do you want to hear it?" Li Zitao was thinking about the dock.

He was responsible for the construction of the entire terminal, and the Lee C. Astor Industrial Group obtained the right to operate the Qatar terminal for 70 years.

"70 years is too high. Qatar must have management rights and join the board of directors." The emir did not refuse, but proposed joint management.

Some talks are a good thing. The two parties agreed to officially start the negotiations in 2 days, and the next step is to prepare documents, data and conditions.

Li Zitao also got in touch with Jonathan, who is in Paris, and had a 2-hour communication on this matter.

Li Zitao explained the current situation in the Persian Gulf in detail, and also gave a high degree of affirmation to the oil production rate of Dubai and other places.

The Persian Gulf will become the heart of crude oil transportation in the world in the future, and it is necessary to build a port here.

"In addition to Qatar, there is also Ras Al Khaimah. We want to build two docks, modern docks that can repair large ships, and allow ships from other ports to stop for a short time. This is the oldest free trade zone in the Persian Gulf—"

Hearing that Li Zitao wanted to build two modern ports at one time, Jonathan also cheered up, because his description was so tempting.

If the Persian Gulf is really full of oil, this alone can make them a lot of money.

At the same time, Jonathan also thought of Suez. The importance of this canal may cause many disputes in the future.

But these have nothing to do with them, they are just businessmen, let the big shots worry about this kind of thing!

"...Wait, you are going to deploy artillery in Ras Al Khaimah, what are you going to do, block the bay and collect tolls?"

Jonathan, who was thinking about the port issue, was taken aback by Li Zitao's coastal defense plan, which would cause a lot of trouble.

The current situation in Europe is becoming more and more dangerous. A small spark may ignite a keg of explosives. Don't mess around!

"Nobody will know, I'll talk to the Qamisi family in Ras Al Khaimah, it's just some defense for safety,

How important the future Persian Gulf is, Jonathan, you should know. "

Seeing his persistence, Jonathan believed in the future he said in his heart.

If what he says is true, the importance of the future of the Persian Gulf cannot be denied.

Once a war breaks out in Europe, the colonies are likely to become the second battlefield, and it seems that it is not so unacceptable to take necessary precautions.

"Okay, you should discuss this with your brains! I only care about the construction of the dock, can Bechtel spare me?"

Jonathan didn't want to interfere with his plans. Those had nothing to do with Lee C. Astor Industries, and SHIELD should care about them.

After finalizing the dock construction plan, he decided to communicate with S.H.I.E.L.D. after returning home, and then just wait patiently for the negotiations.

The Persian Gulf during this period was very boring, because of the various dogmas taught by Islam, there were no bars here.

The transportation depends on camels, there are no entertainment items, the mountains and plains are full of yellow sand, and a tribe living in groups can only be seen after several miles.

The situation in Doha is relatively better. It is currently a concentrated port for fishing boats and pearl fishing boats.

Because of the pearl fishing trade, at least some modern industries can be seen, otherwise Li Zitao really feels like he has returned to the 18th century.
