"It's not just food. Due to the climate factors here in Myanmar and Thailand, timber will also become a pillar industry for export. The south of the country is better. In the north, because people cut down a large number of trees to use as fuel, signs of desertification have appeared in many places. But private coverage Wood is used in houses and furniture. The Northeast is better. The price of wood in North China will definitely continue to rise. In places like Shanxi, Gansu, Qinghai and Xinjiang, the price of wood will be higher, especially for some high-end products with higher value. timber."
"Furthermore, the increase in grain income in Myanmar and Thailand has also affected agricultural breeding. Whether it is chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, they can be raised on a large scale and exported. Europeans eat rice wrong, but in the Gulf region The Arabs are large consumers of rice. So you see, even if Myanmar and Thailand do not engage in heavy industry and just rely on agriculture, it is enough to feed the current population. What's more, we can also do deep processing of agricultural products in the future, and the price will be higher good."
You don't know if you don't say it, but you will be shocked when you say it. This sentence can be regarded as confirming the mood of the director at the moment. Because, he finally figured out how big a game Tang Cheng was playing. If we follow Tangcheng's plan and layout, whether it is Myanmar or Thailand, their future development speed may not be very fast, but they will definitely develop smoothly. At least they don't have to be targeted by European and American forces like other South Asian countries and swallowed up completely. Tangcheng chose to rely on China to do things, not only to make money from China, but also to use China's power to protect itself.
The director suddenly thought of the massive data and mechanical equipment that Tang Cheng and the others had brought back from Japan. Tangcheng itself has said that neither Myanmar nor Thailand will engage in heavy industry in the future, and even many light industries will be cut off. Therefore, those technical materials and mechanical equipment were basically prepared by Tangcheng for the country. The Bureau is now unable to calculate how the country will develop if the domestic situation stabilizes and the technical data and mechanical equipment in Tangcheng's hands are obtained.
Finding that the bureau chief was looking at him with a strange look, Tang Cheng grinned, but he did not speak and just waited quietly for the bureau chief to ask questions. There were a lot of questions in the bureau's mind before, but Tang Cheng said so much just now. Although there was no direct answer or a direct answer, the bureau leader has solved many mysteries and doubts in his mind from Tang Cheng's narration. . Looking at Tang Cheng's current state, the director's teeth were itching, but he suddenly didn't know what to say.
Tangcheng is only in his twenties. If he were in China, young people of this age might still be running around for a living. But Tang Cheng did something that most of his peers could not do. Not only did he control Myanmar and Thailand, he also successfully exploited the weaknesses among the various European forces, winning himself the time and opportunity to develop. Even the young man in front of him has planned what will happen more than ten years or decades later. As long as this land develops slowly according to Tangcheng's plan, it will definitely become a place that everyone yearns for.
When he thought of this, the director felt a little guilty. He realized that he had wasted so much precious time in the past. If he could get rid of those troubles earlier and leave the military command earlier to help Tangcheng, perhaps Tangcheng's plans would be implemented more smoothly. The silence of the bureau chief made Tang Cheng a little confused. He was fine just now, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to be a different person.
Tang Cheng, who wanted to change the subject, then talked about one of his plans to win gold, "There are many good things hidden in many temples in India. When I went to Egypt before, I met a down-and-out British explorer. According to him, there was a large amount of gold buried in a temple in India. I asked him at that time, since he knew that there was gold buried in that temple, why didn't he go there and dig out the gold? You Guess what he answered me! He told me that the town where the temple is located is full of believers in the temple, and he can’t touch the door of the temple at all.”
The information about the gold in the temple did not come from the so-called British explorers in Tang Cheng's mouth, nor was it the reward that Tang Cheng got from the system lottery. This information came from Tang Cheng's memories of later generations. The temple gold mentioned by Tangcheng is the famous golden temple Padmana in later generations on the Internet. It was not until 2011 that later generations of Indians discovered that there was a large amount of gold hidden in the basement of this temple. According to estimates by the Indian government at the time, among the six underground chambers of the Padmana Temple, the value of gold products found in just the first underground chamber exceeded 500 billion rubles, equivalent to approximately US$11.2 billion.
Naturally, prices in 2011 cannot be compared with today. However, the Indian government has not announced the things found in the other five secret rooms of the Padmana Temple. Although the Internet is full of information, the last two secret rooms of the Padmana Temple have never been opened due to external reasons. But some good people made a rough estimate on the Internet for the gold hidden in the Padmana Temple. According to their estimation, the Padmana Temple was originally an exclusive temple for the Travancore royal family in Kerala. The wealth accumulated by the Travancore royal family for generations should be in the underground chamber of this temple.
Although the Indian government has not continued to announce the information to the outside world, there are various reports on the Internet. Some people estimate that the wealth in the temple exceeds at least 30 billion US dollars. It is not difficult to calculate how much gold is worth 30 billion U.S. dollars. The purpose of Tang Cheng's eyeing the temple gold is not how much the gold is worth. He just wants to use the gold to prepare for Myanmar's future currency issuance. Tang Cheng knew in his heart that he was just the governor of Myanmar. If he rashly merged with Thailand, he would definitely become a thorn in the side of some forces.
Therefore, he does not intend to directly annex Thailand, but first takes away Thailand's military power and police system, then controls all Thailand's economic lifelines, and finally gradually replaces the Thai baht with Myanmar currency. Tangcheng has only completed the first item, and the second item is in progress. However, according to the response of the South Asian Chinese, this item will be completed soon. Once these three steps are completed, Tangcheng believes that even if external forces extend their tentacles into Thailand in the future, there will be no way to separate Thailand and Myanmar.
Temple Gold, this was the first time that Bureau Chief had heard of this matter, but based on his understanding of Tangcheng, he knew that the boy in front of him could not specifically fabricate a lie to deceive himself. "The British have not given up colonial management of India. If you are thinking about those gold, you are poaching the British! The British's performance in the European War is indeed not very good, but it is an old empire after all. It has to deal with You are not an American, but to deal with you is just a trick."
The bureau chief's words didn't sound good, but this was a real and kind reminder. Tang Cheng grinned when he heard this. "I didn't want to provoke the British! But you are right to remind me. In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, I decided to invite the British royal family to participate in my gold digging operation." According to the bureau's understanding of Tangcheng, the boy in front of me He would not be so generous, so the director's brows immediately furrowed slightly. He was wondering if Tang Cheng was once again thinking of using the British royal family to make small moves.
Sure enough, Tang Cheng then said, "Of course, you need a suitable opportunity to go to India to find gold! The situation in India is calm right now, and it is not an easy matter to go to the temple to retrieve the gold. What's more, Myanmar There are also many gold mines in the territory. The gold I need to set up a bank can be mined in Myanmar." Speaking of Tangcheng at this time, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to be hiding two tons of gold in Shanghai. Those two tons of gold were planned to be transported back to Japan by the Japanese army. Now I may be the only one who knows about the existence of those two tons of gold.
Tang Cheng was indeed a man who fell in love with money. When he talked about gold, he immediately became energetic. "You don't know, not only in Japan, but also in Europe, our people can easily exchange food for gold. Hans and I exchanged a lot for gold in Japan. A 20 kilogram bag of Thai rice, You can exchange it for a small yellow croaker, which is still expensive but not marketable. The Thai wood we shipped to Japan sold out immediately."
"Those American soldiers stationed in Japan especially like to exchange cigarettes and beer with us, gold necklaces, gold rings, gold bracelets and so on. Hans can get back a box every time. If he is not worried about making too much noise and affecting counterfeit money According to the plan, Hans might exchange rice for gold in Japan! Counting the gold left by the Thai royal family, the gold in the treasury in northern Myanmar seems to be more than 30 tons. After the gold mines in South Africa are mined, according to the share, northern Myanmar can get at least two tons of gold every month.”
"I have already asked professors from Southwest University to help design the style of banknotes. As long as we have enough gold in our hands, we can set up a bank and start issuing new currencies to replace the previous kyats. The baht in Thailand, It will be slowly banned in the future, and like Myanmar, new currencies will be used in the future. As long as the currency is controlled, even if the Thai people are dishonest, they still have to be ninjas. Because there is no money, they have no chance to rebel."
Currency is the foundation of a country's stability. This topic in Tangcheng immediately attracted the entire attention of the bureau. When I learned that Tangcheng had been planning to issue new currency for a long time, and that there were more than 20 types of currency collected, the bureau also felt a little eager to give it a try. It's just that he wrote and drew on the paper for a long time, but in the end he couldn't draw anything that satisfied him, so he had to throw away the pen and paper.
