My Italian: Chapter 354 east borneo

The promotion of the shipbuilding industry will not see the effect of the promotion within a short period of time, but there is one industry that quite meets the definition of monopoly, the Italian National Grid Corporation.

Needless to say, the company monopolizes the electricity supply in Italy, and whoever wants to use electricity in Italy needs the national grid to provide it.

Is there anyone who can't stand the high-profile monopolistic behavior of the State Grid?

Yes, and there are many. Those capitalists who are jealous of the high profits of the State Grid are almost mad with envy.

But this is useless, because they have nothing to do with the national grid. Politically, the royal family stands behind the State Grid. On the economic level, there is a long queue of banks that want to lend to the State Grid. Let alone technology, many of the power transmission equipment and technologies in European countries are required to be authorized by the State Grid.

This kind of monopoly enterprise is full of thorns, and no one wants to compete with it, no matter whether it is legitimate or unfair competition. Besides, all cities in Italy are currently included in the power supply scope of the national grid, and there is no chance to start. Do you want people who want to intervene to develop from the countryside? Isn't this going to help the poor?

In addition, State Grid is not content with the status quo. They not only base themselves on domestic development, but also go to the world. Italy's overseas colonies have long been acquired by it, and it has also developed to other countries.

For example, in the Qing Dynasty, State Grid built power generation facilities in Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou and other places to provide electricity for lighting production. Especially in Shanghai, State Grid built the world's largest thermal power plant at that time, and two 50,000-kilowatt giant generators will help Shanghai become a real Far Eastern pearl.

Of course, the most important part of State Grid's business in the Far East is the Borneo colony. Although no city in the Borneo colony can match Shanghai in terms of electricity demand, the Borneo colony has a very large gap in terms of electricity demand.

Located at the mouth of the Mahakam River, Samarinda is the largest port city in eastern Borneo. While Italy was vigorously developing Borneo, the city also took advantage of this shareholder wind to develop rapidly.

The 1,000-ton sea ship docked steadily at the port, and Nimancha, who had stepped on the ground with both legs, took a sharp breath. "The smell of the land is much better, and the smell of the sea is much less."

"Hey you guys, welcome to Samarinda."

A pair of big hands clapped heavily on his shoulders, showing that his master was quite strong.

Nimancha knew without turning his head, he was too familiar with this voice. "Pockus, I told you not to pat me on the shoulder from behind, be careful of my possible overreaction."

"Okay old friend, I just didn't expect the company to send you over."

"Hahaha, I'm just kidding you."

Just as the two were talking about the old days, a voice suddenly came.

"Nimancha, if you have a chance to come to Balikpapan Bay, I can entertain you."

"Don't worry, Ellis, I'll definitely come?"

After the man had gone away, his friend Box asked. "Your new friend?"

"Yes, we met at the poker table for less than a week. They said they were going to Balikpapan to explore oil. Do you know where Balikpapan is?"

"Of course I know. It is said that there is oil found in the bay about 120 kilometers away from here."

"Whatever, we don't want to drill for oil anyway. Let's check the supplies I brought here first. This is the list."

Nimancha, who finished the chat, took out a list and handed it to his old friend.

"Let me see if I have brought enough supplies for me this time."

Now that he was talking about business, Ellis naturally did not dare to relax. He opened the list and checked it carefully. "Two coal mills, one steam turbine, two high-pressure boilers, and one 1,000-kilowatt generator. I want two!"

"Currently, the company only has two spare generators in Pontianak, and Ma Chen also wants to expand the power plant. If I give you all of them, what should Ma Chen do?"

After hearing what his old friend said, Ellis also knew that there was no other way, and he couldn't give him all the generators.

"You said why the company didn't prepare more generators in Pontianak. The development momentum in Borneo is so good, and there are many places that need electricity."

Facing his friend's complaints, Nimancha could only shrug his shoulders.

"How do I know this? Maybe the company's demand for my side is behind. Even Shanghai has installed a giant generator of 50,000 kilowatts, while our biggest generator is only 5,000 kilowatts."

Well, it looks like Nimancha has a little bit of a gripe too. But their complaint is just a complaint, what else can be done, this is the decision of the company's superiors, how dare the two wage earners dare to point fingers.

After all, the two of them still maintained their rationality, and they also knew that talking about the company's decision-making was not good, so they quickly stopped the topic.

"There are quite a few immigrant ships here!"

Nimancha saw several immigrant boats passing by sharply. These immigrant boats are easy to identify. They look like Chinese-style boats with flat bottom, wide bow and flat cover. You can underestimate this kind of boat, which can hold nearly a hundred people and 30 people. tons of goods, and the draft is not slow, very suitable for river transportation.

"Isn't this the development of eastern Borneo? Major companies have acquired a lot of land here. For example, Lin's Company, Xiangfu Company, and Poli Development Company have acquired at least thousands of hectares of land here. Eight out of ten of these immigrant ships are transporting personnel and supplies for their company."

For friends, Nimancha is hard to say, after all, there are more immigration boats in Pontianak. Of course, eight of these ten ships would be too much, and six at most would be great.

As for how Nimancha's disbelieving expression could be hidden from his friend, Ellis continued to talk. "Why don't you believe it? It's not an exaggeration to tell you what I said."

Then Ellis told Nimancha his reasons. It turned out that in view of the slow development of East Borneo, His Excellency the Governor of Ambik, who had just arrived in office, decided to speed up the pace of development in this area. Development in Borneo.

Of course, getting the green light from Governor Ambike also requires strength, and only those companies with sufficient strength will be valued by His Excellency the Governor.

But having said that, in East Borneo, where the various infrastructures are not complete, without relying on these powerful large companies~www.mtlnovel.com~, it is really impossible to play.

Don't look at Samarinda showing the atmosphere of a civilized city. It can be said responsibly that there are only a few cities like Samarinda in East Borneo?

Tell you there is only one.

In addition, less than three cities currently use electricity.

The reason for this is that on the one hand, the development time is late, and on the other hand, it is the reason for the difficulty of development. East Borneo is not as good as the west and south in terms of climate, terrain, and vegetation, so the development is slow.

Except for a few port cities that can barely be seen, the inland is a large area of ​​undeveloped virgin rainforest. In the absence of road facilities, except for powerful large-scale enterprises, no one else can develop it at all.

Well, in the face of the facts Ellis told, Nimancha also had to admit that he didn't know enough about East Borneo.

"Unexpectedly, the development of East Borneo really needs to rely on those big companies, and the new governor of Ambik is not bad."
