In the future, in addition to building coal mines in Guajira, it will also be necessary to manage the approximately 400,000 people.

To be honest, they are quite poor, and most of them live below the food and clothing line.

Guajira is close to the Caribbean Sea and does not enjoy the rich resources of the ocean, but it has completely withstood disasters such as typhoons!

The typhoon passed through, houses collapsed, and heavy rains continued. The planting industry could not develop at all. Some of them were small-scale planting based on family units. It was considered good if they could not starve to death.

In the entire Guajira, except for Riohacha, which has a fairly complete education system, the rest of the city, which in Sean's opinion is at most a town, has elementary and junior high schools, but the literacy rate is appalling.

This place is really poor!

Sean was so poor that he couldn't think of any development strategy for a while.

Not to mention ocean fishing, not to mention the affordability of boats, without the support of weather satellites, the Caribbean's changeable ocean climate can easily make it difficult for fishing boats to go out and not come back!

Taking Riohacha, the largest coastal city, as an example, fishing offshore is just okay, but fishing further away is not good.

"What should we do about the tax problem?" Xiao Bu asked, "Especially for those residents scattered around the towns, who are mainly engaged in agriculture. The difficulty in collecting taxes is on the one hand, and mainly on the cost. What they collect is not enough.

Artificial."

"Then we have to collect it." Sean said without hesitation: "Collecting taxes is a demonstration of dominance. Even if you lose money, you have to collect it. At least it must be maintained for a long time. Cost issues cannot be considered."

"Wait until this kind of rule is recognized. By the way, let Kadip's people follow you when collecting taxes. Don't let others know about it in the end."

Having said that, Sean shook his head. In 1987, it was the same as it was 300 years ago, and taxes had to be collected manually.

Things are pretty much explained here, Sean is only responsible for the general direction, and the team below is responsible for specific matters.

Now that the negotiations have ended, Sean no longer stays here, takes Xiao Bu on the plane, and only flies to Newark.

Suddenly, I haven't been back for a long time. The last time I came back, I just took a quick look.

It's still the small courtyard next to the Newark Umbrella Base. It looks really small now, but as soon as I walked into the courtyard, I suddenly felt very relaxed, um, friendly.

Especially when several women rushed out cheering, Sean was so satisfied!

"Come all, come all!" Sean opened his arms, and several women stood in a row, giving each of them a hug and a kiss.

Well, the life of the rich is so simple and boring.

In a blink of an eye, three days passed...

…

Sean collapsed on the sofa, his eye sockets sunken...

"all gone?"

"They're all gone!" Norris stood aside and returned with his head lowered.

"Huh!!" Sean let out a long breath.

Even an iron man would be completely drained if he was thrown into such a Shura field!

"I'll ask the yoga company to send a trainer over. I'm getting older, so I really need to work out hard, otherwise my body won't be able to withstand anything!" Sean raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, "Oh, by the way, I want a male trainer.

, don’t bring a woman here, my body has not recovered yet, and I will be drained dry by those snakes."

"What's going on in Kashima?" Sean finally remembered the business.

"The reclamation work has been completed, and the soil on the island has been replaced. It is all black soil obtained from the Mississippi River in accordance with your request, boss."

Sean nodded, that's good.

There are only three big black lands and one red and black land in the world!

What we are talking about here is the large ones, and those with small areas are not included in the calculation.

They are the Ermaozi Plain in Ermaozi, the Mississippi Plain in the United States, and the Northeast Plain in China.

However, the black soil of Ermaozi and the Mississippi Plains has suffered considerable damage.

Black storm!

After large-scale logging, there was no forest protection, and the wind and sand rolled up the black soil into the sky, forming a black storm.

At present, only the black soil in the northeastern plains is the most complete, and the development time is relatively short.

(PS: By the way, there are black soil sellers on the Internet. Some of them are simply labeled HLJ black soil. They were dug directly there. It is unparalleled to make such money!)

Ahem, of course, Sean didn't care about that and just had the black soil be transported back from the Mississippi River plain, truck by truck. There was no shortage of money. He planned to replace 30 centimeters of the island's surface with black soil.

This is called style!

It doesn’t have to be one meter deep, it’s all a test until you are now an American citizen!

"Have you arranged for someone to do a comprehensive design for the island?"

"I have found four companies, and the design draft has been released. I am just waiting for you, boss, to choose."

"Okay, I'll take a day off and go directly to the island tomorrow to have a look."

…

Finally, he had a good night's sleep. Fortunately, he continued to take supplements. Sean finally regained his energy the next day. At least on the surface, there seemed to be no problem.

We arrived at the island by helicopter. Now the island is flooded with light. In order to prevent the black soil from being blown away by the sea wind, Norris also specially asked people to cover the entire island with mesh.

There is no way, the cost of transporting this black soil is very high. One pound of black soil is more expensive than ten pounds of rice!

Otherwise, they still wouldn’t sell it.

Among the four design drafts, Sean actually found them all good.

Well, they are all traditional American gardens.

This American style... is very interesting. It is said that the more something is lacking, the more something is longed for. Although the United States is only 200 years old, it must also have traditions!

American gardens are derived from British gardens, and British gardens... are derived from Song Dynasty gardens. Of course, after hundreds of years of development, they already have their own thing.

This is not nonsense. Indeed, many British things imitate ancient China, such as the door knocker on No. 10 Downing Street...

Although Britain and the United States promote the poverty, backwardness, and ignorance of the East all day long, they secretly envy people in their hearts, such as Marvel and the Ancient One Master.

The Ancient One is a bald woman in the movie. In fact, she first appeared in the comics in 1961. Her real name is Yao. She is the Supreme Mage on Earth and the master of Doctor Strange and Baron Mordo. She lives in seclusion in the Himalayas.

According to normal logic, Americans should call him "Ming". The reason why they all call him "Yao" is because this title is very familiar to the public!

Coincidence naturally has a certain place in the hearts of comic fans.

Closer to home, Sean will not build any Chinese-style gardens in the United States. In the upper class of the United States, anti-China is the mainstream idea.

The U.S. government is controlled by U.S. capital. The reason why U.S. capital is able to dominate the world and take advantage of others is largely because the United States itself is powerful enough.

A truly leading international company must be backed by a truly big country!!

Small countries cannot develop real international leaders, like Samsung, most of the profits must be handed over to American consortiums.

During World War II, American think tanks reached a consensus that there were only two countries that could pose a threat to the United States, Lao Maozi and Dongbian.

As for Europe, unless integration is completed, there is no chance.

This has nothing to do with the vast land, rich resources, and large population. Canada, Tu'ao, and Asan also have large land and rich resources, and Asan also has a large population. If it doesn't work, it just won't work.

Therefore, Sean will not challenge the entire American upper class.

There were four design plans, but Sean didn’t look at the price.

No money, just a trip...ahem.

I picked the softest design draft and kept it. The other three were passed by Sean.

Seeing their old rivals being so complacent, the heads of the three companies couldn't understand why, but they didn't dare to ask Sean, so they could only use force against their old rivals.

They deliberately understood Sean's character and behavioral logic.

I like battleships, airplanes, and tanks, and I like to use force when things go wrong, and I have a bad temper, so the design draft specifically pursued grandeur, toughness, and openness. As a result, Sean chose one that was softer and more refined.

This is so illogical!

Sean didn't care what they thought and asked Norris to send the people away. Then he pointed to the design draft and said: "I like the garden style of Chinese culture. While the main style remains unchanged, I can absorb the essence of this aspect. If you don't understand, just look for it."

If the Chinese ask for advice, I only look at the finished product."

The matter has come to an end here. Sean estimates that the entire island will not be repaired for more than half a year. This is the efficiency of the United States.

After finishing it, Sean took a plane to Manhattan, got in the car and went straight to Rockefeller Center. He got some supplements from the east and sent them to Old Man David.

I have been wandering around Southeast Asia during this period, and I haven’t been back for a long time, and I haven’t even seen the old man.

Although it seems that Sean's achievements today are all due to him, and the Rockefeller family did not contribute any effort, this is not actually the case.

If his surname hadn't been Rockefeller, the two policemen wouldn't have been so polite to him on the first day of time travel.

When he first started his business, if Sean's surname was not Rockefeller, the Newark police chief would not have given him the chance to break up the original Mexican gang.

Don't think that only the East likes to maintain stability. No government dislikes stability. Even if it goes downhill, most people don't want to jump out of their comfort zone.

Later, when Sean dominated New Jersey, the governor also considered that Rockefeller was standing behind Sean. Rockefeller was more measured and powerful, so he gave Sean a chance.

Later, when I purchased the Black Hawk helicopter gunship, did I really think that anyone could equip the Black Hawk with Hellfire anti-tank missiles in the United States?

That's because the company's major shareholder is the Rockefeller Foundation!
