2191 The West Gate of the South American Continent

Chen Cheng was just off the coast of Singapore and saw how busy he was.

The waterways of various roads are covered with various ships, including cargo ships that transport living materials to the island.

There are also a large number of fishing boats returning from outside fishing, as well as offshore processing and freezing vessels coming from outside.

All the ships are in the port area, waiting for the diversion, and then there are different ships, diverting them to the dock where they should be docked.

Their ships belong to foreign cargo ships. They have to go through the foreign cargo ship channel first and be quarantined by the customs before they are allowed to dock.

So they could only wait in the open sea, looking at the busy wharf ahead.

There are also compatriots on the pier who are blowing whistles, speaking in Longguo dialect, and shouting neat numbers to work.

Chen Cheng suddenly felt that this island was very kind.

Finally a barge in front came over, and a navigator got off the boat and climbed onto their boat first.

Then he got directly into the captain's cockpit. Originally, Chen Cheng thought that this guy would be like the navigator of other countries.

First, go around the boat to pick the faults and focus on the benefits.

But what he didn't expect was that they didn't do that at all, and went straight into the captain's room after getting on the boat.

After a while, the ship moved, and within ten minutes, it arrived at the port under the leadership of the pilot ship.

After a while, several freighters behind the Sky Whale also entered the port.

All kinds of ore loaded on those freighters have been unloaded, and it is said that they will be transferred to other freighters and shipped directly to the country.

And these few freighters will immediately load other goods and follow other fleets to go out for a long voyage.

As for where the destination is, Chen Chengcheng has no idea.

As for their Tianjing, Liaofa, and Swan, they will be repaired at this port for a month.

During this time, the ship needs to be overhauled and maintained. After all, it has gone out to work continuously for about eleven months.

No matter how good a boat is, it's almost time for maintenance.

During this time, all crew members are on vacation.

If you want to leave, you can choose to fly back home from here, and the company will reimburse you for your round-trip travel expenses.

Chen Cheng figured it out. There was still a period of time before the Chinese New Year. He discussed it with his family and didn't go back.

After the ship comes out to work, he will be working for a month. When the Spring Festival comes, he is applying for leave!

The company is more flexible and more human.

As long as you work long enough, contribute enough to the company, and save enough attendance points, the company still allows you to ask for leave during this special period.

They will even organize charter flights for these employees to send them back for vacation.

An employee like Chen Cheng, although he has only been employed for a year, is already an absolute core old employee.

After all, he worked for the company twice, both at sea and with pirates.

So some of his applications, as long as they are not excessive, the company will agree.

Since he is not going back to China, he just plans to use this time to give himself a good vacation.

Take an expedition on the mysterious continent of South America.

So let's start with the Calapag Islands first!

The ship docked, the epidemic prevention inspection was completed, and he and the other crew members were allowed to disembark.

The moment he jumped off the boat, he even stumbled and almost didn't fall to the ground.

Since he landed on Nanxing Island in the South China Sea more than eight months ago, he has not been on land for more than half a year.

This down-to-earth feeling really makes him feel uncomfortable.

It took a few minutes to get back the proper feeling of walking.

He was not in a hurry to go out, but turned around at the port.

The wharf here is called Kuisong Wharf. It is said that in the near future, it will become the largest port in South America.

Beef, soybeans, and corn from Argentina, as well as salmon from the Copper Country, big cherries.

There are also beef raised here by the celebrity chef group,

Canned fish made from aquaculture processing vessels.

As well as various agricultural and sideline products produced in Peru, Colombia, Brazil and other countries.

They are all integrated here and loaded on ships, and then set off from here and shipped directly to the mainland of the motherland.

It has now become the western gate of the South American continent.

Countless domestic companies have set up branch offices here.

And not only domestic companies, American, Japanese, Maoxiong, and even many European companies have also set up branches here.

The reason for this is because this is a special zone, a tax-free zone.

On the one hand, there are various tax preferences, and on the other hand, it is also a region of the law of the sea, which is closer to the legal system of Europe and the United States.

This is very similar to Xiangjiang, so naturally it is very popular in Europe and the United States.

Especially in the Virgin Islands, and many companies in the Cayman Islands, are under the attention of the domestic tax office.

In order to avoid taxes, many companies will set up branches here, or various funds, trusts, etc.

And then ingeniously transferred various secondary products to the names of these companies.

The same openness to capital as the Cayman Islands has been adopted here.

As long as you pay a handling fee every year, you can choose not to disclose your company's shareholders, legal person, shareholding structure, and even financial reports.

Managers don't care, anyway, they don't expect to rely on this to collect taxes from your company.

Of course, the handling fee here is naturally higher than outside, but even so, there are still many companies rushing to it.

Because it is more reassuring than the Cayman Islands and the Virgin Islands.

And the Southern Cross Bank here now has the title of South American Swiss Bank.

The reason why they can win such a reputation is naturally related to their secrecy of customer secrets.

Moreover, this bank is still very low-key and not very famous internationally.

But their strength is very strong, and their tentacles are all over South America.

Therefore, the Plum Blossom Market on Plum Blossom Island has grown rapidly thanks to such foreign capital.

Now Meihua City is mainly divided into several blocks.

The layout of the city is newly planned, square and neat.

The city's city hall, and the main management department, are naturally located in the municipal square in the city center.

Then to the north, there are various commercial districts, and further north is the residential area.

To the south is the school, the primary school, middle school and university extend in turn, and further south is the industrial zone...

There are various food processing factories, tool processing factories, shipyards, steel factories, building materials factories and so on.

Many of the capital means of production needed for local development are produced by these factories.

Although these factories are small in scale, the production capacity is absolutely sufficient.
