Castro was very puzzled by Li Daniu's question.
Land is limited, and investment in infrastructure is certainly limited.
Not all buildings are made of gold and diamonds.
Moreover, because of the construction of New Tuvalu, there are many shortcomings of urban development.
When planning, we should make the best use of everything and make the layout of various facilities more reasonable.
Unlike some cities, the new infrastructure has not been built for a long time before it has to be rebuilt again.
Li Daniu smiled and asked, "Castro, do you think that the land we have in New Tuvalu is enough?"
"Of course it's not enough."
After Castro subconsciously replied, he immediately reacted and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, you want to" Li Daniu nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, because our planning and layout are more reasonable, it has also caused a lot of waste of construction land."
At present, our domestic population is not saturated, so we can't detect it.
But soon, we're going to start taking in a lot of immigrants, and when the time comes, where will those people live?"
A master of chess can see more than five moves after taking one move, just to prevent a situation where he is too late to respond.
And Li Daniu is now a high-ranking person, so it is naturally impossible to think about the problem only for the present and the future.
Castro is very well able to understand Li Daniu's concerns, if a country wants to develop, population is indispensable.
However, the increase in population will inevitably require more land for construction and public facilities.
If these issues are not addressed, New Tuvalu will never be able to get enough of its population.
"But, Your Majesty, the current environment in the international community does not advocate that very much."
Li Daniu sneered and said, "Since other countries have done it and are doing it, why can't I do it?"
After a moment's hesitation, Castro asked, "Do you want to make a plan now, do you want me to call Prime Minister Burns over as well?"
Li Daniu didn't plan to start this project so soon, but when he heard Castro's financial report just now, he knew that the money he earned in the future was likely to lie in his bank account, so he had already made up his mind.
"Call him here."
After Castro went out and instructed the staff next to him, after a while, Burns came to Li Daniu's office again.
"Land reclamation" Burns couldn't help but exclaim, and then said: "Your Majesty, although our current financial income is many times that of before, we can't afford such a big investment." ” Li Daniu glanced at Burns and said, "Did I say that I would let your government pay for it?"
When Burns heard this, he didn't feel relieved, but said more nervously: "But you don't have that much money." ” As the Prime Minister of New Tuvalu, Burns is probably the person in the world who knows his Majesty's current state of assets best, apart from Castro.
Even, he knows better than his King Majesty himself.
Li Daniu asked with interest: "How do you say?"
Burns replied, "Your Majesty, you have proposed land reclamation before we were in New Tuvalu.
Later, when we increased the number of government workers, I also arranged for someone to make a simple budget, and it turned out that we simply couldn't afford to build artificial land of the level you mentioned. ” "Go on" After swallowing his saliva, Burns said: "Normally, land reclamation is to transport the sand, gravel or construction waste materials in China to the coastal areas for filling, and then reinforcing them later.
When we were in Tuvalu before, we didn't choose to reclaim land because we didn't have enough land in the country and there was not enough land in neighbouring Fiji."
"And our new Tuvalu, although the average altitude is relatively high, but you asked that those natural resources should not be destroyed, so there are not many materials that can be reclaimed."
Li Daniu frowned and said, "We don't have it, but New Zealand has it, Australia also has it, we can buy it from them."
Burns smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, the cost of transporting one cubic meter of reclamation materials from New Zealand to our new Tuvalu is about $10.
If it is shipped from Australia, the cost will increase to $16 per cubic meter.
This is still calculated according to the normal market price, and if the New Zealand government, or the Australian government, imposes additional taxes on us, the cost of this item will increase by about 40%.
In addition, it also requires labor, machinery, and later reinforcement, and the cost of this item is also very high. ” "When we budgeted, we chose the shallowest area near the coastline of New Tuvalu and calculated the cost of filling about 50 square kilometres of land.
As a result, we need to invest at least $23 billion to complete the construction of the land. ” 50 square kilometers of land requires 23 billion US dollars, which makes Castro's heart instantly nervous.
Because he had heard Li Daniu say before that if New Tuvalu reclaimed land, then at least a land the size of New Tuvalu would be created, that is, 600 square kilometers.
Even if the water depth elsewhere is the same as where Burns budgeted, it would cost at least $276 billion.
If, coupled with such a large place, the construction investment above Moreover, the water depth of the sea area must be deeper and deeper as it goes outward, and the cost in the later stage will not rise as if it were doubled Castro exclaimed, "Oh my God."
Li Daniu was also a little surprised, not because he didn't have so much money now, but because the cost was much more expensive than he imagined.
Then he began to think about how he could make another large amount of money.
Burns and Castro saw their King Majesty silent after glancing at each other.
Castro opened his mouth and asked: "Prime Minister Burns, are you sure you didn't make a calculation error, how do I remember that the cost of land reclamation in other countries is not so high." ” After giving Castro a thumbs up in his heart, Burns immediately replied: "That's true, but the geography of our new Tuvalu is not as good as theirs."
Not just because of the lack of materials, but also because our coastline is so short that there aren't as many shallow areas to reclaim from the sea. ” "In Japan, for example, between 1945 and 1975, they reclaimed more than 1,200 square kilometers of land, which is twice the total area of our country.
In addition, from the 50s and 60s of the last century to the end of the last century, the area of land reclamation in China exceeded 120,000 square kilometers, which is about 20 times the total area of our country."

"But these two countries, not only have sufficient materials in the country, but also have a very large population, and the labor cost is relatively low.
Moreover, the coastlines of these two countries are very long, and there are many shallow areas to choose from, so you don't need to invest too much in the cost of materials.
So their cost is very low. ” "The most obvious contrast is that China is reclaiming land in the South China Sea, which is expected to reclaim 104 square kilometers of land and cost a total of 80 billion Chinese dollars, equivalent to 13 billion US dollars.
However, in the South China Sea, there are many islands and reefs, and the shallowest part of the water depth is only about 2 meters, and the average depth is less than 10 meters.
And we have an average depth of more than 20 meters, and that's just the 50 square kilometers we have chosen. ” Castro made a sudden realization and said: "I see, we are an island country, and there are no islands and reefs, so the materials that need to be invested will be several times that of others.
In addition, we need to import most of the materials from abroad, and the freight and taxes will be increased, so the cost is calculated, so it is better for us to buy another island."
As he spoke, Castro and Burns both glanced at Li Daniu secretly.
In their opinion, such a large investment is not that it cannot be moved, but that it cannot be moved now.
Because neither Li Da Niu nor New Tuvalu have so much money.
What Castro and Burns were most worried about was that Li Daniu suddenly had a convulsion and sold his industry or technology.
"Okay" Li Daniu scolded and said, "Don't sing the double reed in front of me, I know it in my heart."
The two of you will discuss and determine the land reclamation plan, which can be divided into multiple phases according to the area of 500 square kilometers.
As for money, you don't need to worry about it. ” Castro and Burns leaped in their hearts, then looked at each other, as if they had guessed what was going on in each other's minds.
Noticing Burns' eyes, Castro said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, the industries you own now are all profiteering industries, and you can't easily seek financing." ” "Financing" Li Daniu understood what Castro meant, smiled, and said, "I won't raise money, and I won't in the future."
However, who said I only had those industries Castro, help me prepare a product launch. ” t1706231537:
