Winning over the British royal family and aristocratic groups is the only way Tang Cheng can think of at the moment. He needs something to divert the attention of the British upper class at this time. Hans was a smart man, and he immediately understood what Tang Cheng meant, but he had absolutely no confidence in whether the information in his hand could interest the British royal family and nobles. Tang Cheng, who saw the worry in Hans's heart, grinned because he knew that the British man was the greediest person in Europe.
"Don't worry, this information is just a primer! If they are not interested in this information, I can find other things that will interest them, but if that is the case, they will pay a high price. The war in Europe has continued until now , the British are also struggling to support it. Once the war is over, the reconstruction costs required by the government will be astronomical. In addition, there are pensions for fallen soldiers and civilian losses. You are now a money-spreading boy. I believe that with their Being greedy, I will never miss this opportunity.”
"And I have prepared another gift, but it's not the time yet. Once you find someone in the UK who can support us, my new plan will be put on the schedule." Seeing Tang Cheng's confident look, Hans He couldn't help but ask, Tang Cheng couldn't stand Hans's teasing, so he had to tell the answer in advance. "It's tobacco! My people found a master of tobacco cultivation in Kunming who has been growing tobacco for generations. He has already prepared several tobacco formulas suitable for European tastes."
"Although tobacco cultivation in Yunnan is still in its early stages, Yunnan has a very good climate, water quality and land quality, which is very suitable for growing tobacco. The soil quality, climate and water quality in northern Myanmar are similar to those in Yunnan, so I decided to grow tobacco in northern Myanmar. Plant tobacco, and then we build cigarette factories on the spot. However, these cigarettes that suit European tastes will not be sold in Asia. They will be shipped to Europe for sale. You may not think that cigarettes are cheap, but if the number of smokers is huge, this business will The prospects will be very good and may even surpass other traditional industries.”
Hans' reaction was not slow this time either. As soon as Tang Cheng finished speaking, Hans was already chuckling excitedly. "Are you planning to use the cigarette business to closely connect London with northern Myanmar? Northern Myanmar is not only a tobacco planting base, but also a cigarette production base. London is only responsible for the sales of tobacco. Tobacco and cigarette production are in our hands Here, even if the British want to fall out, they will still be the losers. And when the time comes, we will have a business partnership with them, and all actions against northern Myanmar will harm their vested interests."
It seemed that Hans completely understood what he wanted to express, and Tang Cheng felt relaxed. "Until the domestic situation becomes clear, we have no way to take the lead in northern Myanmar! As sneaky as we are now, our armed forces in Myanmar will never reach the number we planned. Since the force cannot match the British If we don’t see the scale that people want to see, then we can only work hard on business, whether it is oil or tobacco, they are actually temporary measures to cater to the British upper class.”
"The European War not only harmed the interests of a large number of lower-class civilians, but also harmed the interests of the upper class and the so-called aristocratic class. At this time, we can only cater to them with real benefits, and we can only completely pull them away. They will speak for us only after we get on the boat." In order to reassure Hans, Tang Cheng paused and opened the drawer in front of him, letting Hans see the thick stack of file bags and the confidential labels on the file bags. mark.
"These portfolios contain business plans and design drawings. I guarantee that as long as you give me a stable territory and enough time, the things in the drawer will be enough for us to earn more than we can spend in a few lifetimes." Money." Tang Cheng's words and the files in the drawer made Hans' breathing gradually become heavier. From the time he first met Tang Cheng in Shanghai, Hans had always felt that there seemed to be something mysterious about Tang Cheng that he could not understand.
In the past few years of dating with Tang Cheng, facts have proved that getting to know Tang Cheng is indeed a wise move. From the earliest few weapons design drawings that Tang City gave him, Hans had always guessed that there was a powerful organization hiding behind Tang City. Now it seemed that his previous guess was not unreasonable. Otherwise, how could Tang Cheng, a guy who has never left China, know that there is oil in Egypt! At this moment, Hans chose to believe in Tangcheng again. Whether his family could regain its glory all depended on the young man in front of him.
Tang Cheng did not deceive Hans. The file bags in the drawer he just opened did contain several business plans and design drawings. These were all rewards he had won from the system. As he had guessed before, after the Burma Plan was implemented, Tangcheng conducted a systematic lottery and no longer drew out weapons, equipment and daily necessities. Instead, they received design drawings, business plans and a large amount of mining exploration information.
Now Tang Cheng, as long as he takes out the mining data he obtained from the system, he will immediately become the most efficient mining exploration expert in the world, because the coordinates of the largest and best mines in each country have been marked in those data. and types. However, Tangcheng does not plan to use these mining data now, because the Myanmar plan is still in its early stages, and without a stable rear area, Tangcheng will never do anything beyond its capabilities.
Hans came back this time not only to pick up his family, but also to discuss matters in northern Myanmar with Tang Cheng. Now that Tangcheng has decided that Zhang Jianghe will succeed him and continue to maintain contact with the senior leaders of the British army in Myanmar, Hans is relieved. But the night before he was about to leave Chongqing, in the study room in the backyard of the Tang family, Tang Cheng, with a strange smile on his face, once again broke the news. "Gold! A lot of gold! But I don't know the specific amount! Maybe two tons, or ten tons, or more!"
The large amount of gold that Tang Cheng was talking about at this moment was in India, but there was no joy on Hans's face. Because in his perception, India is just a small place full of poor people and beggars. How could there be so much gold in that kind of place! But based on his understanding of Tangcheng, looking at Tangcheng's expression at this moment, it didn't seem like he was joking with him. For a moment, Hans didn't know what to do! The hesitation in Hans's expression made Tang Cheng laugh secretly in his heart, but everything he said was true.
"It seems you don't know much about India at all!" Tang Cheng sighed deliberately, and then explained it carefully to Hans. "Do you know who is the richest person in India? It's not their nobles or the big businessmen, but the monks. People in India are divided into several classes, namely Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Sudras and Dalits. The first-class Brahmins are mainly monks and nobles. They have the privilege of interpreting religious scriptures and worshiping gods, as well as the right to enjoy devotion. They have a monopoly on cultural education and the right to interpret religious discourse.”
"The second-level Kshatriyas are military aristocrats and administrative nobles, with the privilege of collecting various taxes. The third-level Vaishyas are ordinary Aryans, mainly engaged in commercial activities. The fourth-level Sudras are responsible for serving meals and cooking Composed of senior servants and craftsmen, they have the largest population. Apart from these four classes, other Indians are untouchables. They can only engage in the lowest occupations, such as cleaning toilets and handling animal carcasses. According to India According to the caste hierarchy, the untouchables, who are the most numerous, are not even considered human beings in India.”
"The gold I'm talking about has to do with the Brahmins! According to the information I got, in some temples in India, there is a large amount of gold buried in the temple basement. This gold has been buried deep underground, maybe Even the monks in these temples did not know. Although India is a British overseas colony, this war has caused too many losses to the British, especially the British troops stationed overseas like Burma. So, if I Say, let’s get some powerful people from the British army in Burma to work together on the idea of these golds, do you think it’s feasible?”
What is the concept of 2 tons of gold or more? Hans can no longer calculate it at this moment. If the news that Tangcheng got is true, such a large amount of gold is enough for many people to live as rich a life as they want for the rest of their lives. After feeling ecstatic, Hans quickly calmed down. The gold was in a temple in India. This meant that if they wanted to get the gold, they would need to go to India.
Facing Hans' doubts, Tang Cheng could only spread his hands, "Look, this is the key point! If it weren't for this batch of gold being in India, why do you think I would drag those damn British Man! They are the army, they will not arouse suspicion when entering or leaving India, and military operations can seal off a certain area, which will make it much more convenient to transport gold afterwards."
The answer given by Tang Cheng sounded very powerful, and Hans couldn't find anything to refute. "Don't tell them where the gold comes from. Just talk about making them rich. After you understand their thoughts and attitudes, you can then tell them that it is gold, and it is a large amount of gold. As long as those British people have the brains If they are not sick, they should know what to do.”
Early the next morning, Tang Cheng sent Hans and his family away. Watching Hans, who was worried, go away, Tang Cheng was in a very good mood. As long as northern Burma has the support of the upper echelons of the British army, everything will be much easier to handle. With the increasing number of immigrants and the construction of arsenals, the foundation Tangcheng needs has gradually taken shape. The next step is to concentrate on development. time.
