Ye Liang and Song Youqing understood immediately that Secretary Zhang meant that at this wine table, they only talked about personal friendships and not about state affairs.
Liu Yue smiled and said: "Call Sixth Brother back for me?"
Secretary Zhang suddenly had a bitter look on his face. Not to mention Ye Qing, he had already established the Red Star Group in Yun Province. Its main business was to purchase non-ferrous metal ores from northern Myanmar to complete the national energy strategic layout.
He was involved in drug smuggling and trafficking cases and was assassinated many times. Although he was able to save the day every time, it also made people sweat.
However, Ye Qing did not have the task of tracking down the interest groups. This was the fault of the fourth son of the Ye family.
Moreover, even if No. 101 agrees to let Ye Qing give up the mission, No. 98 will not agree.
Over the years, the border troops and armed forces have sacrificed too many comrades in order to restore a peaceful world to Yunnan Province. Now that the situation is about to be broken, how can Ye Qing, a key figure, ignore the overall situation and return to Kyoto to live his fairy life...
Secretary Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "I don't have any say in this matter."
"Then do me a favor!"
"If you want to go to Yun Province, you can't do this!" Secretary Zhang refused simply: "Furthermore, Kyoto is also the most important part of Ye Qing's business layout. There cannot be no one in charge of the overall situation. And you are the most suitable candidate."
Liu Yue saw that Secretary Zhang was really anxious and couldn't bear to tease him: "Red Star Group has registered a logistics company in Muse. The partners are Shan State general Wu Rui, Muse Sanxiong and the eldest caravan lady Ma Rui.
The total holding of Red Star Group is 51%, and its business method is to ensure the safety of goods through armed escort. "
Secretary Zhang turned around and glanced at Song Youqing. She had also reported this matter, but she didn't pay attention to it. It wasn't that she wasn't cautious enough, but that she didn't make it clear.
The focus of this sentence is not the logistics company, but the armed escort.
Myanmar is a God-given country, rich in various minerals and oil, which makes people envious and jealous.
Among them, there are many special mineral deposits that are urgently needed in the plans of maritime powers.
These special nonferrous metals are also available in the international market.
However, Western companies have established a global presence many years ago and have monopolized the trade in non-ferrous metals.
Not only is it limited to purchases from China, but China's military plans can also be inferred from the quantity purchased.
Therefore, Myanmar has become the best purchasing country.
However, Myanmar has a special political situation. The military is in power, there are many warlords, and the army is everywhere.
Many mining areas are in the hands of warlords and are contracted to companies controlled by Western consortiums.
It is not easy to get a piece of the pie.
Although Ye Qing was in northern Myanmar, he started aggressively with both vertical and horizontal methods.
However, Wangze Copper Mine, Libodong Copper Mine, Meidang Nickel Mine, and Pagan Limonite Mine are only a small part of the list given to him by 101.
Therefore, he wants the military government to recognize his existence and cooperate with him.
The best way is to control Myanmar's economic lifeline.
Although Myanmar is rich in mineral resources, its light industry, heavy industry and even military industry are extremely backward, and it relies heavily on imports from China.
The Burma Highway and the Tengmi Highway have become two material input lines.
The Tengmi Highway leads from Houqiao Port to Myitkyina. Because this route needs to pass through the area controlled by the Kachin Independence Army, it is very dangerous.
Moreover, Myitkyina is of great strategic significance to Myanmar. It connects railways and waterways leading to the entire territory of Myanmar, which is open to specially permitted merchants.
This makes the Burma Road even more important.
The importance of armed escort lies in the safety of the goods.
From Muse to Mandalay, it is a long distance of more than 400 kilometers, and on this road, mountain army bandits, and even local army and military government soldiers will block the road.
Once a businessman is targeted by them, they will either hold him in prison and extort ransom, or they will bury his bones in the mountains and lose both his life and property.
In recent years, the main mission of the embassy in Myanmar has been to rescue Chinese businessmen detained by various mountain troops.
After Tanlang became General Lashio, he firmly controlled the middle section of the Burma Highway, and his sphere of influence reached Mandalay.
This theoretically makes armed escort feasible.
Once this logistics company is established, it will definitely become the first choice for Chinese businessmen.
The Red Star Group is equivalent to controlling the economic lifeline of the military government and local armies of various ethnic groups in disguise.
Ye Qing also had the qualifications to sit down and negotiate with senior officials of the military government.
The danger in this matter is that neither the military government nor the local army will tell you about the law.
Once the importance of this logistics company is realized, it is bound to take action against the main person in charge to achieve the purpose of occupying the magpie's nest.
Secretary Zhang nodded: "I will remind 101 of the importance of this logistics company."
"Thank you, Secretary Zhang!" Liu Yue smiled brightly, like a hundred flowers blooming: "There is one more thing."
Secretary Zhang chuckled and said, "It seems that the little princess of the Liu family insists on me violating my principles today."
"Little girl, don't dare to do anything wrong!" Liu Yuejiao smiled, clinked glasses with him, drank the Maotai wine in one gulp, and Zhang Da Mi also raised his head to drink.
Liu Yue poured the wine and said with a smile: "Actually, it's one thing. To open a logistics company, you need cars and people. Red Star Group has placed orders with major automobile companies, and various vehicles will be delivered one after another. But there is a shortage of people. ....."
Secretary Zhang pondered: "Since this logistics company has the shares of the caravan eldest lady, it means that Xiaoliu plans to use a group of caravan disciples..."
Liu Yue nodded: "The caravan is a local snake in northern Myanmar, and all the mountain troops are familiar with it. With them here, doing business will be more effective with half the effort. However, the special living environment in northern Myanmar also makes these caravan disciples untrustworthy."
Secretary Zhang's lips twitched. Untrustworthy was a pun. The most serious situation in Dehong Prefecture was the ban on white powder, and the caravan disciples must be the main force in transportation.
Therefore, this logistics company must take strict precautions to prevent these drivers from caravans from carrying private goods.
"Mr. An means..."
"Mengxi wants a group of veterans who are loyal, reliable, and disciplined..."
Liu Yue didn't finish her words, but Secretary Zhang already understood.
All veterans are reservists. If there is a war, they will be recalled and the battle will be won.
An Mengxi could find a few or a dozen veterans to serve as bodyguards. However, if a large number of retired military personnel gather in Yun Province, they must report in advance.
The most important thing is what kind of treatment these veterans who go to Yun Province will enjoy.
After all, northern Myanmar is a very dangerous place, and insurance companies will not insure them.
Secretary Zhang took out his notebook from his pocket and wrote down Liu Yue's words in detail. Then he raised his head and said, "What do Xiaoliu and Mr. An think?"
"After these veterans arrive in northern Myanmar, they will definitely have small-scale conflicts with local armed forces. If there is a shooting, Baihu will be responsible.
However, we must think in advance that if there is a conflict, there will be casualties.
Therefore, what Sixth Brother and Mengxi meant was to use a sum of money to set up a rescue fund and hand it over to the Red Star Group for operation.
If veterans who go to northern Myanmar are injured or killed, pensions and resettlement expenses will be paid out of the relief fund. "
Secretary Zhang suddenly raised his head: "How many veterans does the Red Star Group need?"
"At least five hundred people!"
