Chapter 1150: An Windfall in South America I

Wu Chen arrived in the capital of Peru according to his original itinerary, opening the second leg of the South American itinerary, to his disbelief, the Peruvian government welcomed his arrival very much, and the president even sent a special envoy to the airport to meet him, and the courtesy was very high.

Peru is very rich in mineral resources, including copper, lead, zinc, silver, iron and oil, among which the reserves of bismuth and vanadium rank first in the world, copper occupies the third place, silver and zinc occupy the fourth place, the proven reserves of oil resources are 400 million barrels, and the natural gas reserves are more than 7 trillion cubic feet.

South American countries are famous for their forest resources in the world, and Peru is no exception, with a forest coverage rate of 58 percent and a total area of more than 77 million hectares.

"It's really a stone that stirs up a thousand waves, the Falklands War can still bring such an effect, it's very interesting, it seems that this trip to South America, I have gained a lot!" Wu Chen expressed such emotion after receiving the presidential envoy at the embassy of the Federal Government in Peru in the Golden Triangle.

The countries of South America support Argentina's recovery of sovereignty over the Falklands, but they also have deep fears about Britain, an old capitalist power, and seeing that the clouds of war are about to loom over the Falklands, all countries have taken some necessary measures to increase the procurement of modern weapons and equipment, which is an important link.

If there is any country in the world whose weapons and equipment can be compared with the United States, it is only the mercenary corps, especially the navy.

The Argentine Navy's latest arrival of four 9,000-ton Trident-class missile destroyers has also become the most advanced missile destroyer in South America, and 20 Licorn-1 heavy transport helicopters are like a tiger with wings, one can transport 100 heavily armed fighters, 20 can send half a brigade of troops at one time, and the transportation of goods is the only one in the world, and it is one of the most needed equipment for the Marine Corps, attracting the navies of major countries to visit.

Together with the four second-hand Sturgeon-class attack nuclear submarines from the United States, 12 second-hand F-15 Hawk fighters, 24 brand-new Shield Defender-1 road-based fighters, 10 upgraded Tu-22M3 strategic bombers and 20 An-70 tactical transport aircraft, Argentina is now full of confidence.

"Since the South American countries need the weapons and equipment of the mercenary corps, it also means that our development of the mineral resources of these countries will be unusually smooth. The key now is Venezuela's oil and gas, and when the mining rights are won there, when the oil price rises in the next two years, the finances of the federal government and mercenaries can be greatly eased. Natalia, the foreman's secretary, said with a smile.

"Venezuela's oil and gas resources, which account for about four percent of the world's total, are a position that mercenaries must not afford to lose, and the current leader has very bad relations with the United States, but he has good relations with Russia, and even closer with Cuba, and I have already greeted him through these two presidents, and this time after coming to Venezuela, there will be two days of secret talks."

"The contradiction between Chávez and the United States, by the US government sanctions on Petroleos de Venezuela, the export of weapons and equipment is also being restricted, Venezuela also hopes to build a strong modern army, and has long cooperated with us, I have great confidence in this meeting, Brazil's road to modernization, has also attracted Venezuela's worries, and the presidential palace has long wanted to facilitate this face-to-face negotiation." Wu Chen said with a smile.

Wu Chen doesn't care about the affairs of military industry and trade, it's not that he has no ability to manage, it's not that he doesn't have the power to manage, but he is not good at talking about business and business, and laymen are doing things inside, which is obviously going to suffer, and it is not in line with the identity of the spiritual leader and big boss, he is only responsible for strategic decision-making, and it is Marcas who is responsible for implementation.

Peru and Bolivia plus Chile before that, Marcas unified the embassy to coordinate, Wu Chen's trip to South America, he will hold a special meeting, when the time comes, to solve the problem together, one family is too slow, not conducive to manufacturing enterprises to arrange orders.

The fourth stop of Wu Chen's trip to South America is Colombia, where we have long been a strategic partnership, and the mercenary corps is located at the Ledisia military base at the junction of Colombia, Peru and Brazil, which is on Colombia's territory, and the presidential envoy greeted him at the airport.

The two countries cooperated well in the Silver Triangle operation, and although the military base of the mercenary corps did not give a lease fee, it had a great impact on the economy around the base, and it turned from an inconspicuous town into a medium-sized city. The originally inconspicuous port has been expanded to become a modern port, providing favorable conditions for the export of resources from the southeast.

In order to solve the energy problem of the base, the mercenary corps added a thermal power plant here, and also carried out moderate development of the surrounding forest, expanded the original airfield, was able to take off and land large aircraft, developed a tourist route of the Amazon River, added several large wood yards, and built several high-standard roads.

Atlantis Mineral Resources has invested more in Colombia, and has explored and developed various minerals such as coal, oil and gas, and emeralds, providing tens of thousands of local jobs and helping the government crack down on trafficking syndicates, which is highly appreciated by the presidential administration.

After Wu Chen received the presidential envoy at the embassy, the ambassador respectfully reported to him that there were two beautiful women waiting to meet him.

"You're Shakira?" Wu Chen saw the petite and delicate girl among them, and asked uncertainly.

Dream Warner Records has signed hundreds of singers around the world, and he can't know them all, but in Colombia, it seems that Shakira is the most famous.

"Boss, I think it's surprising that you can recognize me, this is my friend Dana, she admires the super director and soul singer very much, and is the most loyal fan, so you won't be unhappy to follow me to meet you this time, right?" Shakira said with a smile.

Dream Warner Records' contracted singer Shakira, who is only 25 years old this year, is known as a little diva in Latin America. As for Dana, who is now twenty-four years old, is also a singer and actress, and now she has appeared in some soap operas, and her fame has begun to rise.

"I'm not too good-looking to see people, what's there to be angry about, welcome two beautiful girls, just want to appreciate the customs of Colombia, you are my tour guide." Wu Chen smiled and said.

It is rare for a local to lead a tour of Colombia, Wu Chen decided to rest for two days first, he was waiting for news from Marcas. The acquisition of Rio Tinto has already begun, and there is little surprise on the part of Rio Tinto, who knows the background of Atlantis Mineral Resources and has enough financial resources to swallow Rio Tinto.
