Not only the surname, but also the first name. Many American names, such as Brian, Jonathan, and Joanna, are usually regarded as families with no higher education in Chile. They are from the slums and the rich who live in the east. Most of the people have a good family environment and have a higher education, so they all have orthodox Spanish names.

Conversely, people who have no money can only name their names by watching TV. If they watch more English movies and TV shows, naming them is like Americans getting closer. On the other hand, it doesn't matter if there is no family history.

If statistics are available, this can be confirmed. Many of the lower-ranking Chileans are called Brian or Jonathan.

In addition, there is an indigenous surname in Chile, but it is not a joy to have an indigenous surname. Many such people cannot integrate into the mainstream society.

It is said that when many companies receive job resumes, they find that the other party has an indigenous surname or even not give an interview. The local people firmly believe that the indigenous people are genetically inferior to ordinary people. Every year, many aborigines have to make a living. Change the strong indigenous surnames.

Of course, it does not mean that indigenous people cannot succeed, but it is more difficult.

The old grandfather in front of me is a typical Indo-European mixed race, with a white face and black pupils. It looks a bit dissonant, but it is the mainstream face of modern Chileans, and the name is also very common-Sanchez, as for his other few Yang Cheng couldn't remember her name, nor did she bother to remember it.

The former ambassador to the United States seemed to have a good retirement life. He drove a pickup truck, and of course there was a caravan he helped rent. Now Yang Cheng is followed by more than a dozen bodyguards wherever he goes, and one car can’t fit. so many people.

After a cordial greeting, Yang Cheng sat on his pickup in Sanchez's surprised eyes.

It made him a little confused, isn't he dissatisfied with the Mercedes he rented?

Yang Cheng smiled and waved his hands, "I want to experience the most authentic Chilean life, let's drive Sanchez~"

"Well, as you wish~" To be able to serve as ambassador to the United States, at least his English is very good.

If it's not in Chile, but in Texas, it's an old cowboy.

"Jason, how's Richard doing? I haven't seen him in more than ten years and I miss it~" Sanchez turned the steering wheel and led the way, leading the convoy towards the city.

"He is very good, good health, harmonious relationship between husband and wife~"

This is really nothing to say, and even the relationship between husband and wife broke out. The key is how does he know?

Sanchez thought Yang Cheng was joking, and he was very cooperative for a while and asked, "Richard called me specifically for you. I don't know what you are going to do in Chile? What can I help?"

Yang Cheng remembered Richard's instructions before departure, and no matter what, he told Sanchez directly that he would do it if he could, and don't force it if he couldn't.

So he said, "I am going to sell arms to the Chilean jun. Do you have any access to this?"

Sanchez glanced at Yang Cheng expressionlessly, "Are you also here for the copper mine?"

Yang Cheng was not surprised that the other party received the news, and asked straightforwardly, "Is it possible?"

Sanchez shrugged, "Of course it is possible. This opportunity is fair to every competitor, but the question is how you can compete against a country by your own personal use~"

After a pause, "I can arrange for you to go to Chuquicamata for an inspection. Maybe you can make a decision after the inspection is over."

Yang Cheng thought for a while and felt that the arrangement was good, and then nodded in agreement, but he asked again, "Who should I call about weapons sales? You know I don’t know anyone in Chile, no, no, I know you now~ "

"This question is not in a hurry. I need to go back and make a few calls. You will know when you come back from the copper mine inspection."

Of course, Yang Cheng is not in a hurry. He has reserved a total of half a month for this trip to South America. He has enough time and patience to wait for a good result.

On the night of landing in San Diego, Yang Chen stayed at the hotel near the famous Plaza de Armas, and simply strolled outside, eating and drinking. The next morning, Sanchez came to pick them up to a flying club in the suburbs.

He rented a helicopter in advance and did not ask for a pilot. Yang Cheng's bodyguard team is full of talents. It is a bit difficult for them to fly an F35, but an ordinary civilian helicopter is no better than driving.

Chuquicamata is not only a symbol of Chile, but also a name that geologists all over the world can be proud of. It has large areas of deserts, gravel, and rugged rocks.

The unusually arid climate makes it difficult to find a few green plants here. Yang Cheng has read relevant information before coming here. One of the photos is the evening, the red sun is sinking, and the sky is shining with strange flames, giving people a sense of desolation and loneliness. It feels, however, that this land is a treasure in the minds of the Chilean people.

The copper mine is located in Calama, a city in northern Chile, which is the capital of El Loa Province, Antofagasta District, Chile's second largest region.

The name is very confusing. Anyway, Kamara is located on the western **** of the Andes, on the Loa River, only 21 kilometers north from the Chuquicamata open-pit copper mine. It belongs to a high-altitude city with an altitude of 2266 meters. The climate is arid and surrounded by irrigation. The commercial center of the agricultural and mining area.

Of course, this is also an important livestock market. There is a large number of Angus cattle produced in Argentina. It is said that there are factories here that can produce potent explosives. The products are supplied to the whole country and parts of Bolivia. I don’t know if it is true. 30,000 people are a small city built entirely on copper mines.

The copper mine is located in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile, on the fault zone of the canyon. The overall area of ​​the mining area is 25 kilometers wide and 33 kilometers long. The current proven copper ore reserves are 17 billion tons, which can be mined. 80 million tons of copper, according to the current production scale, can continue to be produced for 100 years, which is amazing.

At present, there are 3 open copper mines in the mining area , mainly pyrite copper ore, and the copper grade of the ore is about 1% on average. The remaining two mining sites are mainly oxidized ore.

The copper mine is now 100% owned by the Chilean national copper company Cordelco, and the shares of the copper mining company that Chile wants to take out to replace weapons and equipment are 10% of the Cordelco company.

Because I took a helicopter to the copper mine, I didn't stop at Calama, and went straight to the mining area, where there is a special tourist reception center. Of course, Sanchez would definitely not let Yang Cheng enjoy the treatment of ordinary tourists.

Before landing, Yang Cheng let the brother flying the plane circle in the air, overlooking the entire mining area from the air, the scenery was particularly shocking.

From the beginning of large-scale open-pit mining 100 years ago to the present, the mine pit has expanded infinitely. It is 5000 meters long, 3,500 meters wide, and 900 meters deep. The step-shaped mine looks like the gate of **** from the third perspective of the air.
