We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?
Chapter 472 Christmas Travel
The island of ice and fire, Iceland.
The Luo family did not choose Finland, which has a Santa Claus Village, nor did they choose its neighbors Sweden and Norway, which are also located in the Arctic Circle. This Christmas, the entire Luo family came to Iceland.
Just like its name, Iceland is an island country located at the junction of the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean, with a very important geographical location.
A country with an area of 10.3 square kilometers, equivalent to a province on the southeast coast of Rabbit, but a population of only more than .
This number of people is not even comparable to that of Asian countries, and even in Europe it is definitely considered a sparsely populated country.
The reason for choosing Iceland is also due to its sparse population, safety and non-crowding.
Nowadays, countries like Finland are already packed with tourists. Who among the rich would go there for no reason?
"Isn't this amazing? It's covered in snow, but the temperature outside doesn't feel that cold."
Looking at Luo Laowu and Wang Xiaoxian, who were standing outside on the snow and catching the falling snowflakes with their hands, with a look of shock on their faces, Luo Nianzhong explained to him.
"That's because Iceland has the Atlantic warm current passing through it, plus it has rich geothermal resources. Even though it snows outside every day, the actual temperature is only minus 2 or 3 degrees Celsius."
Anyone who has studied high school geography knows that large fishing grounds are usually formed where cold and warm currents meet. Several well-known large fishing grounds in the world were formed in this way. Therefore, Iceland's fishery is very developed and is one of Iceland's most important sources of income.
When it comes to Iceland's fisheries, there is a lot to say.
How could a country with a population of more than 300,000 people, which doesn't even have an army and whose only real garrison force is less than a hundred policemen, become one of the three largest fishery producing countries in Europe?
The answer is simple: holding an ace and being shameless.
There is a famous Cod War in history, which is about Iceland and Britain.
Because of this, although the official language in Iceland is Icelandic, almost everyone can speak English.
Many people say that this is so that they can feel more comfortable when scolding the British, so Icelanders care so much about English.
Even though Iceland's per capita GDP often ranked among the top ten in the past, it was a very poor place in the early twentieth century.
In order to protect the only economic pillar, fisheries, China fought three wars with the British and won all three times.
After the end of World War II, the only economic source for Icelanders was the abundant cod resources, but the fishing grounds near Iceland were all controlled by the British. Isn't this like begging with a golden bowl in hand?
So Iceland took the case to the International Court of Justice, accusing the British of encroaching on their neighboring waters.
The lawsuit was won, but the result was not satisfactory to the Icelanders because the international court only ruled that Iceland's waters extended one nautical mile outward.
How could the British, who were still enjoying the glory of the British Empire, obey the verdict? Not only did they not obey, they also made things even more difficult for the Icelanders, such as not allowing Icelandic ships to unload their cargo at British ports.
Others may spoil you, but how can I, a Viking, spoil you?
In 1958, Iceland directly expanded its neighboring waters by 12 nautical miles through legislation.
Otherwise, why would the Vikings be so nervous? Seeing that the British dared to send frigates to protect British fishermen, the Icelanders drove their decades-old ships directly into the British fleet and opened fire.
The problem was that the British warships were cowardly and retreated, which made the British so angry that they planned to regroup and teach this little European Camelot a lesson.
The Icelanders also knew that their navy was like an ant trying to stop a tree compared to the British navy, so they played their trump card.
In 1960, Iceland issued a statement.
Britain must make unconditional concessions in this dispute, otherwise Iceland will withdraw from NATO and expel the US troops stationed on the island.
This move scared the United States and Europe to death, and all countries began to speak for Iceland.
It has been said that Iceland's geographical location is very important, and NATO's stationing of troops here can threaten the entire polar bear community.
If we lose Iceland and the polar bear sends its army here, then it will be the United States and the entire NATO that will be unable to sleep.
Relying on this trump card, NATO surrendered, and Iceland, having tasted the sweetness, began to become more and more demanding.
In 1972, they established a -nautical-mile no-fishing zone, which was eventually expanded to nautical miles.
Basically, it can be said that Iceland, with its more than 300,000 people, enjoys the most fertile resources in the North Atlantic cod grounds.
Looking at the snowflakes falling outside, Luo Anran was playing with several dogs at home on the snow. Luo Laosi and Luo Laowu were listening to Luo Nianzhong's stories with admiration on their faces.
What about Sarah who was not far away? She was looking at him with disdain. In many European countries, this was just high school history knowledge, okay?
Sarah's expression naturally did not escape Luo Nianzhong's eyes. He looked at her with contempt and said with dissatisfaction.
"What's that expression on your face? Is it because I didn't take good care of you last night?"
Sarah felt her face getting hot when she heard this. It was not like she had not been on the battlefield with other women before, but this was the first time she had displayed her fighting stance in front of so many comrades.
Thinking of this, I concluded that the original owner of this ranch was not a good person, otherwise why would he build such a big bed in the bedroom? Who would do that?
The ranch where the Luo family lives now was purchased by someone from Luo Nianzhong’s family office before he decided to come to Iceland. It is located about 40 kilometers away from the capital Reykjavik.
Although Iceland is located near the Arctic Circle and has snow all year round, it is indeed an agricultural and animal husbandry exporter.
It's not that its production is so high, it's simply that the population is too small to eat it all.
Just like the ranch that the Luo family has now, it is one of the largest dairy farms in Iceland, with 3,000 dairy cows, 240 beef cattle, and some sheep.
You dare to say that it is the largest with more than 3,000 cows? You have to know that all the cows in Iceland may not even be 60,000.
Due to the small quantity, exported milk is definitely not competitive, so most dairy products are made into cheese to add some added value.
The same is true for the Luo family's ranch, which has cheese processing equipment.
"Daddy, daddy."
While they were arguing, Luo Anran ran in happily and threw herself into Luo Nianzhong's arms, not caring whether her daddy would feel cold because of the snow on his thin clothes.
Patiently helping Luo Anran take off her coat and outerwear, Luo Nianzhong put her on his lap.
"How's it going? Did you have fun?"
"Yeah." Luo Anran nodded vigorously.
"It's so fun when it snows. I can lie down in it and then there will be a mark exactly like me."
Luo Nianzhong actually saw all of this through the glass. The crazy little girl went wherever there was a lot of snow.
Not only did she push herself, she also pushed several dogs into the snow, and even competed with the dogs in crawling on the snow, which made Zhao Yazhi, who was standing beside her, chase her and grab her in anger.
"Then daddy will take you skiing tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay, okay."
Another interesting thing happened in the evening.
The other dogs all went back to their rooms, exhausted, but the usually silly fool refused to go in, and if he went in, he would run out on his own, and even his eyes had changed.
"Is this still the same idiot with mental problems? Could he have been eaten by a wolf and the wolf took his place?"
Luo Laosi and Guan Jiahui have quite a wild imagination. Just looking at Hanzai's domineering eyes, it would not be wrong to say that he is a wolf.
Luo Nianzhong had heard that sled dogs would evolve in cold weather and their IQ would instantly rise to a higher level, but he didn't expect it to be true.
What a pity, it's too early to think of it.
Seeing Hanzi standing outside and crunching the snowflakes falling from the sky, everyone knew that this was still the silly dog.
