Time returned to 1946, and after arranging everything at the bookstore, Tang Cheng went to see Akita Koji again. "From now on, I may not contact you frequently, because the Americans may want to deal with me because of the incident in Thailand. If we meet frequently, the Americans may notice you again, so next, let's It's all up to you!" After this meeting, Tang Cheng left two large packages of counterfeit Japanese yen notes to Akita Koji and quietly left Japan.
The transport ship that Tang Cheng boarded had just left the Japanese waters. The assassins had begun their respective tasks. In just two days, riots broke out in many places in Japan because someone planted bombs and successively attacked many governments in Japan. facility. According to the situation announced by the Japanese government, there were not many casualties in these bomb attacks, but the attackers did not leave any clues. I have returned to Tangcheng, Thailand, but I am very busy. Many Chinese people from South Asia have come to Thailand with flexible ideas.
The conflict in central Thailand continues. As groups of Burmese people enter central Thailand, the local Thai forces that originally had the upper hand are almost unable to hold on. In this case, it is not actually a very good sign, but the South Asian Chinese are not fools. They can all see that the conflict in central Thailand is specifically targeting local Thais. So far, the Chinese ethnic groups in Thailand have either gone to northern Thailand or south to Bangkok.
In the entire central Thailand, only those local forces are left, so no matter who is being tortured here, the only ones who suffer are the local Thais. "This is the situation. I welcome you to come to Thailand to settle and do business, but there is a prerequisite. You must abide by my laws. The most important thing is that you cannot do things that harm the Chinese. If you violate this , no one can conquer you."
The conference room was filled with representatives of Chinese groups who were preparing to come to Thailand to do business. Tang Cheng, who was sitting at the head of the table, looked around at everyone before softening his expression and continuing to speak. "Although the situation in Thailand has not been completely stabilized, the southern and northern regions are relatively stable. Especially in the northern region, I plan to build some factories in the north, involving mechanical processing and steel smelting. In our current southern region, we will soon build two By the time the three horizontal railways are built, there will be a lot of demand for infrastructure-related materials."
"With the construction of railways, supporting living facilities must also keep up. If you are interested in doing business in Thailand, there are many opportunities whether you go north or in the south." After Tang Cheng looked around at the people just now, he had already roughly judged these people in his mind. What is the purpose of. It's just that he pretended to be ignorant and kept encouraging them to go north or south. Just looking at the reactions of these people, Tang Cheng knew that he was most likely right about what he had just guessed. Sure enough, as soon as Tang Cheng finished speaking, everyone's expressions immediately changed.
The current situation in Thailand is still unstable, but they all know that it is a foregone conclusion that Tangcheng will control Thailand. If they cannot enter the Thai market early, they will fall behind others. It is just the business they want to do, not just a material supplier. Thailand is rich in rice and high-quality timber, and the offshore fishery is also very rich. But these businesses still need Tangcheng to let go before they can enter. Listening to Tang Cheng's tone just now, but not mentioning these industries, they are a bit wavering now.
Seeing that everyone was silent and just looking at each other with winks, Tang Cheng frowned slightly and went straight to the point. "I know that you want to do the grain and timber business, but it's a pity. I have handed over the grain and timber business in Myanmar to the Paoge group in Chongqing. They have good relations with the southwestern region of the country, and they can guarantee that they will not deliberately suppress them. Grain and timber from Myanmar. As for Thailand, we have established an export company. Whether it is grain or timber, it must go through the export company."
Tang Cheng told his plan honestly, and everyone present immediately went into a panic. What Tang Cheng said had nothing to do with what they planned! Tang Cheng did not appease everyone immediately. He just lit a cigarette and smoked silently while paying attention to everyone's behavior. After smoking a cigarette, Tang Cheng extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray, then reached out and tapped the table and continued speaking. "In my plan, both Myanmar and Thailand will focus on agriculture and tourism in the future. Even the industrial zones in northern Thailand are mainly light industry, and there will definitely be no heavy industry or chemical industry."
Tang Cheng's words immediately caused an uproar, because they all knew that heavy industry and chemical industry were the industries that could make a lot of money. If Tang Cheng did not engage in these industries, wouldn't their opportunities to make money be much less. "Sir Tang, to be honest, the infrastructure in Thailand and Myanmar is not better than that in Indonesia or the Philippines. Everyone chooses to come here because of the port in Thailand. It has the advantage of having direct access to the Mediterranean Sea without having to go through the Strait of Malacca."
"Those of us originally had industries in Indonesia and the Philippines, whether it was textiles or chemicals. But if you are not prepared to develop these industries, to be honest, we can't think of any development opportunities here." The person speaking at this moment This middle-aged man is a representative of the Huang family from Indonesia. In the investigation report given to Tangcheng by the bureau, the Indonesian Huang family is said to have a lot of property, and the Huang family, young and old, are accustomed to looking at people through their nostrils. This family has a strong and domineering nature.
When Tang Cheng was conferred the title of Governor-General of Myanmar by the British royal family, many Chinese in the South Asian Chinese community rejoiced and considered this an opportunity for the South Asian Chinese. Only everyone in the Huang family believed that Tang Cheng was an indispensable speculator who was lucky enough to fall into the arms of the British royal family. While other Chinese families admired Tang Cheng's case, only the Huang family was envious and jealous of Tang Cheng. They even believed that the identity of Tang Cheng's descendant of Jinyiwei was fabricated by Tang Cheng himself. If they find the opportunity, they will definitely expose Tang Cheng's sinister intentions to the British royal family.
At this time, the Huang family couldn't wait to jump out and use words to mock Tang Cheng. In fact, other people present had already thought about it. Everyone wanted to see how Tang Cheng responded to the Huang family's provocation. These Chinese families have lived in South Asia for many years. Some Chinese families not only have a certain say in the business world, but are also involved in politics. Over time, they felt that they were superior to others, but they all forgot that Tang Cheng was not the local aboriginal they were dealing with, but a tycoon who made his fortune through armed force.
The once arrogant Thai royal family has now been cut off by Tangcheng. These Chinese groups with weak roots will not be taken seriously by Tangcheng at all. But Tang Cheng didn't get angry on the spot or respond with words. He just spoke with a calm expression. "I still said what I said before, everyone who comes to do business is welcome here, but some businesses are not open to the outside world because it is related to the stability of the place." Faced with the verbal provocation of the Huang family, Tang Cheng behaved very simply .
"By saying this, Chief Tang, you don't want to welcome us?" Seeing that his verbal provocation was ineffective, the representative of the Huang family actually still wanted to anger Tang Cheng. But Tang Cheng ignored him and just called the guards outside the conference room to come in and take the Huang family out. Others in the conference room only then remembered that this was Tangcheng's territory. Although the man in front of me looks young, he made his fortune with a gun, how could he not be able to deal with a businessman!
"Did you think that I would order the killing of that person just now?" Tang Cheng suddenly realized that everyone was looking at him wrongly. After thinking about it for a moment, Tang Cheng immediately laughed out loud. "I just said, don't do things that harm the Chinese people! How could I violate my own proposal? Since the Huang family is not willing to come to my place to make money, just ask him to leave. Why should I kill people!" Tang Cheng said , making everyone dubious, but looking at Tang Cheng’s appearance, it didn’t seem like he was deceiving everyone.
"Actually, there are many ways to make money in Thailand. It just depends on whether you have the vision to discover these ways! For example, I want to build a horizontal railway in the southern region, which requires a lot of infrastructure materials. Moreover, building railways requires a large number of laborers, and the daily living expenses required by these husbands are not small. With so many people working here, they can earn money for food, clothing, housing, and transportation. And with railways, there will be storage yards, and the surrounding areas are Don’t we also need a living area?”
"It's impossible for the living area to be right next to the storage yard, right? Then, do we need transportation facilities in between? With transportation facilities, do we also need gas stations? With so many people gathering here, do we need restaurants, shops or even Is it a barber shop, shoe store, and clothing store? Since you can appear here, you must have a little understanding of the surrounding area. You should know how much the living facilities here are lacking!" Tang Cheng's words sounded trivial, but they spoke to everyone present. A door opened.
"I have always believed that making quick money by doing business is not the real way to do business. A business that can last for a long time is a good business. I agree to meet with you, and frankly, I just want to be with you. , keep doing this business for a long time.”
It was only now that Tang Cheng finally revealed his purpose. He planned to use a business model to run Thailand. He agreed to meet with these South Asian Chinese families just because he wanted to tie these Chinese families to himself. Before the Americans have fully reacted, they and these Chinese families will completely divide all business avenues in Thailand to avoid internal disputes in the future.
