"The Amelia Province is the future of the empire. In the future, there will be an endless stream of resources flowing towards it."
"Wealth, scientists, everything you can think of will flow towards the Amelia Province."
"The biggest drawback of the Gaffra is that it doesn't have a large land mass, and it lacks all kinds of local resources. We can't always import from other countries."
"Usually, it's fine, but once there's a war, some of the resources we rely on will be choked by others. It's very likely that we'll have to compromise."
"If we have the Amelia Province, even if the island falls, we'll still have the power to fight. But if we only have the island, if we lose the war, we'll completely lose our chance."
"So the Amelia Province will be the core of the Gaffra Province's change. Everything we need is there."
"Land, population, abundant resources, and strategic depth."
"Once we establish a foothold there and assimilate the locals, there's no doubt that it will become the new capital."
When Lynch said this, some people were still a little surprised. This wasn't the first time Lynch talked about the nature of the Amelia Province.
It's just that the nobles in the room were in a very awkward position. Maybe they didn't have the qualifications or the opportunity to listen to Lynch talk about these things, so they showed a shocked expression.
If their ears didn't deceive them, they could already imagine what the future would be like.
Lynch briefly explained his views and theories to them. In fact, he didn't need to explain these things. The nobles could just ask someone who knew about these things, and they would be able to roughly understand.
This was a trend in the future. If the Gaffra Province didn't change the fact that the island countries were small, lacked strategic space, and lacked resources, they would inevitably be overtaken by the whole world.
The price of starting a war now was already very high, and the price of starting a war in the future would be even higher. When people found that wars were getting harder and harder to fight, they would enter a relatively long period of peace.
Once the Gaffra Province fell to a second or third rate country in the process, they would never have the chance to climb back up again.
Under all kinds of pressure, change was inevitable. As long as Amelia was developed enough for Guevra to support their next strategy, they would have another chance.
"Once the development of Amelia reaches or exceeds the empire's plan …" Lynch paused and looked at the others. "In my opinion, this point will definitely be reached. It's just a matter of time."
"Five years, seven years, or even ten years. Time will pass very quickly, and the next war will also bring about this situation."
"Once the core of the empire shifts, Amelia will become a new empire. When that happens, the royal family and ministers will all move there. What do you think will be the most valuable thing at that time?"
Lynch was a person who was good at giving people inspiration. He also preferred to persuade others through this kind of way where everyone was involved.
What he got from others might not be what he wanted, and it might not be true. Only what he fought for and worked hard for was true.
They were thinking, and for a long time, they would think that the answer they came up with was the correct one.
The young count was the first to recover from his thoughts. He was young, so his thinking was fast and he had many ideas. This was his advantage.
"Mister Lynch, is it … land?"
Lynch nodded with satisfaction, and the other nobles also had an 'as expected' expression on their faces.
On Gaffra Island, the most expensive thing was land. Due to the small size of the land, the price of land was always high.
However, the young count quickly had a new question. "But I've seen the map of Amelia. It's a piece of land the size of ten or more Gaffras. Why is it still so expensive?"
Instead of thinking for themselves, the nobles began to pay attention to the conversation between the two youths.
"Will you live in the wilderness?"
Lin Qi asked in return. The young Earl shook his head.
"Look, you won't live in the wilderness either. No matter how big an area is, people will always live around a few core areas."
"It's like this in the Federation. Land in the countryside is worthless. If you're willing to reclaim it yourself, you don't even have to pay a single cent to get the right to use it …"
The Federation had a relevant law. If the government reclaimed land that was considered wasteland, there would be a time limit for the reclaimed farmland and pasture.
During this time, the reclaimer would not be able to buy or sell the land, and would have to continue working. After the time limit, the land would belong to the reclaimer forever, and could be traded normally after three to five years.
However, if the land was abandoned within the time limit, for example, the proportion of land planted could not reach the minimum stipulated by the Federation's law, or if the number of livestock raised on the land was less than a certain number, then the land would not become private land.
In this way, the land in the Federation was very cheap. As long as one could bear the hardship, one could become a big landlord. But why did people still want to concentrate in the city?
The land in the center of Bupain was called "paved with gold bricks." The price of every square meter could make the bottom of the Federation feel a deep sense of despair from the bottom of their hearts.
Why did they want to concentrate in the center of the city? Why did they want to spend a lot of money on real estate?
In the end, it was still a trend.
"… Once the province of Amelia develops, more nobles and capital will enter. By then, if you want to invest, I can only say that it's too late."
"Now that people don't pay enough attention to that place, it's a good time for us to invest!"
Lynch's words were very clear, and everyone could understand what he was saying. After the nobles discussed in low voices for a while, someone raised a new question.
It was normal to ask questions. If people had doubts, they would definitely ask. Only by solving these doubts could they continue to follow Lynch.
"Mr. Lynch, if we just buy land, it may be difficult for us to buy land close to the city center. Secondly, if we just buy land, these lands will not provide us with enough returns in a short time …"
To put it bluntly, it was not easy to buy land, and there was no short-term profit after buying it.
Every inch of land in the city center of every city in the Amelia province already had its own owner. At this time, it was impossible to buy land in those places.
After such a long time, the Amelia province had finally stabilized. If at this time, the forced purchase of land caused a conflict between the Guevara People and the locals, it would definitely be a disaster for these small nobles.
Whether it was the governor or the emperor of the empire, they would not have a good time.
Lynch shook his head. "You're wrong. If we buy land, it doesn't mean that we have to buy 'land' …" He emphasized the word 'land' at the end. "For example, we can buy some land in the name of building factories."
"I believe that the locals of the Amelia province are eager to have a legal job so that they can support their family's expenses."
"In addition to the factory, there needs to be an area for distribution and a warehouse area for storing all kinds of raw materials. We also need to consider the future development trend and leave a certain area. The value of these lands will be very high in the future, and at the same time, it will not cause problems between us and the locals."
"Or we can build some schools. The schools will definitely need a large field, some indoor sports halls, and even a man-made lake!"
"There are many ways to buy land. As for the question of returns …"
Lynch thought for a while and took out a business card and placed it on the table. "If you believe me, when you have your own land, you can entrust your business to them. The return will definitely be satisfactory."
He did not forget to make a small joke. "Of course, it won't be as exaggerated as Yuan Rong Capital. About 10% a year won't be a big problem."
The young earl glanced at it with a strange expression on his face. "Blackstone Capital …" He looked up at Lynch. "Is this your company, Mr. Lynch?"
Lynch naturally nodded without hesitation. "Yes, Blackstone Capital is currently the closest partner of the Imperial Special Administrative Region Government. At the same time, it's also one of the closest partners of the Federation Government. It's also one of the board members of the Nagalil United Development Corporation …"
A long list of titles was thrown out. Whether or not they understood what Lynch was talking about, they were all stunned.
It could not be helped. The moment he opened his mouth, he mentioned the Imperial Government and the Federation Government. These titles were too big, and these nobles were too simple in this regard.
The young earl asked someone to take the business cards and make some copies. They had a special clerk to do this kind of thing and make sure that every business card was exactly the same as the original.
"Does anyone else have a question?"
After dealing with this matter, Lynch looked at the others.
At this time, no one made a move. Just as Lynch was about to end the topic, the young earl suddenly raised his hand.
"Mr. Lynch, what if we can't buy the land in the city center?"
He was very young and had a lot of ideas. In addition, he thought that he was very close to Lynch, so he directly asked any question he had.
"That's a good question!"
Lynch praised him. This made the young earl's face glow with excitement. It was delightful to be praised by someone who admired him.
Lynch looked at the others. "It's actually very simple to solve this problem. If we can't buy the land in the city center, then we'll 'move' the city center to a place where we can buy the land!"
