I am reborn without a pattern

The market in Laos is not the focus, it is just a small episode.

The reason is simple, the country is too small and the population is too small. At this time, the total population of Laos is only 5.6 million, and the urbanization rate is less than 30%.

The domestic infrastructure is extremely backward, and it is very difficult to develop industry and commerce. It can only promote the trade of raw materials and agricultural products around the core area and port area. The only high added value is tourism, but this high added value is too much.

After all, it is more convenient to go to Annan, Siam, and Cambodia, so how can you choose to go to the landlocked country of Laos.

But the advantages of Laos are also obvious. It is a small country with a small population and a low urbanization rate...

It sounds like a schizophrenic judgment, but this is a different perspective.

A low urbanization rate means that there are many rural populations, so the difficulty of buying the bottom is relatively low; the total population is small, and the total investment resources will actually be less accordingly.

Boss Zhang's investment in Guangling has long exceeded 400 million, and Guangling is much larger than Laos.

The natural transportation blockage of its landlocked country means that Laos does not have much choice. The reasons for turning to Annan in the past are quite complicated.

First, during the Frank Colonial period, this place was a whole colony; second, after Annan completed national unification, it quickly turned to the former Soviet Union. Laos' policy guidance was not so much influenced by Annan, but more deeply influenced by the former Soviet Union.

So in the year and the year after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, Laos immediately changed its direction, and the "pro-China faction" forces within it gradually rose.

This process is also very complicated because it is related to ethnicity. Although Laos is small, it has more than 60 ethnic groups, most of which are relatives of the three families of Zhuang, Miao and Dai.

So occasionally there will be more strange things. In some no-man's land, after disputes occur among the border residents of Laos or even Pyu, they will go to the police station next door in China to report to the police...

If the conflict escalates and forms an armed confrontation, the middlemen for the negotiations between the two sides are often the deputy county chiefs or county chiefs of the domestic border ethnic minorities.

There is no language barrier, and the "status in the underworld" is trustworthy, so naturally they can get by year after year, and in fact they have been doing this for a long time.

For most ordinary people in the mainland, this is quite magical.

But there is something even more magical, that is, the minefields left over from the war. Occasionally, after the local people are bombed, they will go to China next door to report the coordinates of the location, and the work of bomb disposal and mine clearance... There is no way, the locals really don't have this ability.

After fooling around for more than ten years, it can be considered relatively peaceful. If you have to pick out social harm, there is no doubt that "pornography, gambling and drugs" are the most, followed by Taobao customers.

The former is well known to passers-by, and the latter includes but is not limited to gold, jade, wood, wild animals, human organs...

Before China put serious medical resources into the area, the human organ trade here could also have an output value of more than 10 million RMB a year.

The reason why it is so little, not even a fraction of the Indians, is the same sentence: the population is too small.

Boss Zhang did not send people to Vientiane, and there is no need for it for the time being, because this is a hard job for the Franks.

In the past few years, Frank has provided about 80 million US dollars in aid.

Originally, this was Frank's political achievement project.

The partner, Jiulongjiang (Lancangjiang) Investment Company, is the new name after Louis Dreyfus transferred its business in the country to SF Group.

The original headquarters was in Vientiane, but now it has moved to the Boten Port.

At the same time, Laos can apply to the "China Development Bank" for basic construction funds.

The approval time is three to six months, during which time there will be a field investigation and a Siamese princess will be invited to a meeting to explain.

The reason why the Siamese princess needs to come is also very simple. Siam is also very concerned about the development of the surrounding areas. On the issue of welcoming or resisting China's state capital and private capital, there are also differences among the top leaders of Siam.

This naturally depends on the "public relations" level and sincerity of both sides.

Boss Zhang himself is quite sincere. The "shoot" girl group went to be the image spokesperson for Siam Tourism before, which can be regarded as establishing a foundation of trust.

However, the core of all the undertakings is the railway, but at this time, an ambush is set, and the Franks need to "lobby" the "Annam faction" in the Laotian "National Assembly" before launching it.

This is not something the Franks can handle, because it requires formal decrees and the introduction of laws and regulations related to external investment to include large-scale infrastructure construction in the category of "economy".

Without laws and regulations, it can only be achieved in the form of "aid construction".

Is Boss Zhang a great philanthropist?

Aid construction?

I don't give you any aid.

Therefore, the "Jiulongjiang (Lancangjiang) Investment Company" moved to the Boten Port and established a "franchise pilot zone". The purpose is also very clear, using the shortest time to create the greatest value, forcing the Laotian top leaders not to give up money in order to maintain the deep revolutionary friendship with Annan.

So can we get a lot of money in the short term?

Yes.

There are two main things. First, there are bulk materials. Laotian timber can be exported on a large scale. However, there were too few trucks in the local area before. Even if we want to export, it is useless to transport it to the railway station or the port yard without a truck.

And trucks with a certain torque in complex terrain are unlikely to be thrown into such a mountain valley. Which one is not more fragrant than the coal from Shanxi and the sheep from Mengwu?

Boss Zhang is different. He has a car.

And it is an electrification platform jointly developed with "Pengcheng Heavy Industry", "Yishui Heavy Industry" and "Piling Diesel Engine". The technology originally used in mining areas has been transformed and upgraded and is now used in minibuses, buses and general civilian trucks.

The "Kuafu Type 1" range extender and its derivative models are sufficient to support most application scenarios. The advantage of electric trucks is that they are easier to control in extreme environments such as heavy loads and complex terrain.

At the same time, last December, Xishuangbanna State began to generate electricity for the three border provinces of Laos. The power station and replenishment station technology of "Shazhou Logistics" and "Wujia Automobile" can completely make up for the situation when diesel is not replenished in time and can continue to operate.

Secondly, Laos has rich jade resources, but it is not well-known, so the market price is low, which is not a good thing for jewelry stores, but it is definitely a good thing for national economies.

Single product marketing is a complex social engineering and journalism problem, but once it enters the field of bulk materials, there is nothing fancy. In one sentence: look at the strength.

Take Shoushan Stone, one of the candidates for this year's "National Stone" selection, for example. There are a large number of inferior substitutes in Laos.

Boss Zhang is certainly not interested in using Lao substitutes to defraud, but it is definitely a high-end gift for corporate culture promotion.

In addition, "Wujia Education" itself has a carving profession. Last year, the masters in Suzhou and Guangling reported to the provincial historical and cultural management unit about the preservation and inheritance of "intangible cultural heritage".

Boss Zhang "freeloaded" so many high-end goods, and he did think about giving gifts in return, but there was no good opportunity for the time being.

It was also a coincidence that this cheap "Shoushan Stone" inferior substitute directly pulled most of the domestic speculators.

Of course, even if "Shoushan Stone" costs one million per gram in the future, it has nothing to do with him. Anyway, he doesn't play with seals, and he has no traditional cultural influence.

Even if he plays with seals, he will use the seal of the meat processing factory to stamp Zhao Dai, which is much more interesting than playing chess, calligraphy and painting.

These two products are not "universal" for the lower-class people, but for the Lao government, this is very good, belonging to a fairly stable fiscal revenue.

As for the "universal" nature of industry and commerce, there is no doubt that it must cooperate with the progress of basic construction. Only in this development process can more people be included in the economic and trade system.

Finally, the most basic sense of Vientiane is that two days before Boss Zhang left Lingxi Province, the Lao Consulate General in Chuncheng held a cocktail party. Because it was summer vacation, it was mainly for Laotian students.

There are many Laotian students in Yunnan and Lingxi provinces. In addition to higher education institutions, there are also special secondary technical colleges, such as Chinese translation, which are mainly in secondary technical colleges in border port cities.

And those international students in Lingxi University, Chuncheng University, Chuncheng Normal University, Lingxi Normal University and other universities also have a clear concept of "Brother Haonan".

They now also use "Panda Continent" and play "Magic Three Kingdoms" on "Panda Battle Platform" in their spare time. Some international students even received employment notices for the cooperation project between Mengwu Academy of Agricultural Sciences and "Shashi Group".

And two international students also know that "Brother Haonan" likes big, big, big...

The cocktail party is also a dance party. The venue is not a hotel or guesthouse, but the cafeteria of the Agricultural College of Lingxi University.

It was arranged in advance and is quite bright and spacious.

Laos Consul General Brada is in a very good mood because he has gained a lot this time. In addition to bringing rich external investment to the country, he is likely to be promoted again because of this.

"Mr. Zhang, thank you for your favor to our country. We will do our best to live up to your trust. The development of the Boten Experimental Zone will definitely be best guaranteed..."

Brada is very excited because "Dear Mr. Siegel" still has electricity resources on hand. It just so happens that Laos also wants to develop the "Jiulong River (Lancang River)", but there is no technology and funds, so it can only think about it.

It is definitely not possible in the short term, but there is still hope to build some reservoirs in the short term.

According to the information revealed now, rubber, oil palm, durian, mango, sugarcane and even dates are expected to be promoted in China.

After a little calculation, Brad knew that this was a good opportunity, both for the country and for himself.

He has a cousin in the Ministry of Agriculture, and she can seize the time to change her position.

"I am very optimistic about the future development of Laos. I believe that as long as the social order is stable, wealth can be created continuously. Laos has rich natural resources, and China has a very broad consumer market. The two countries are economically complementary. I believe that as the economic and trade relations between the two countries are further strengthened in the future, the living standards of the general public will also be further improved..."

As a "liberal arts student", Boss Zhang can still speak freely about "nonsense literature".

But the animals are not happy.

Is this "Brother Haonan"? !

Impossible!

Don't pretend to be "Brother Haonan", everyone present is our own people.

Although the girls among the international students were not tall, their eyes were really big when they stared at "Brother Haonan".

They also called Zhang Haonan "Brother Haonan".

Boss Zhang accepted everyone who came.

After the media took photos and recorded the video, he was more casual.

"Brother Haonan, come to Vientiane to play in the future, my home is in Vientiane."

"Is the room in the beautiful girl's home big?"

"Big, Brother Haonan, not only is the room big, but the bed is also big."

"Wow, I like sleeping in a big bed. Then it's a deal, when I have time, I will go directly to Vientiane to play with you."

The consul Brada on the side was not embarrassed at all, but also joked happily.

The atmosphere basically reached the level of the county government's party.

The only two big-breasted girls did not hide their big round-necked T-shirts, and they were all white. In case "Brother Haonan" could not see clearly enough, they even came closer to pull a little fabric.

So awesome, so professional.

When drinking, she even got into Zhang Haonan's arms, which made the bodyguards' fists hard.

With the smell of perfume on his body, Boss Zhang talked a little about business with Brada, after all, Brada had to report to his "benefactor" when he returned.

"If the business stabilizes next year, I can help persuade the Ministry of Railways to transfer the electrified railway construction team and allocate some resources to southern Yunnan. It is not a problem to directly connect to the Boten test area."

"I sincerely thank Mr. Zhang again."

"The friendship between the two countries will last forever."

"I toast to Mr. Zhang."

Brada was straightforward. He was very familiar with the routine of the drinking table here, so he drank it directly.

As for Zhang Haonan...

Of course he was casual.

There are some more investments that cannot be discussed for the time being, but as long as the "pro-China faction" in Laos has a little courage, it can confront the "Annam faction" at this time.

Annam, which is unable to take care of itself, has a sharp decline in the sales of domestic agricultural and sideline products at this moment, and the conflict caused has actually affected some foreign-funded enterprises and industrial zones.

The gatehouses and warehouses of the two foundry factories in South Korea and Japan were burned down, and the media in Vientiane, Laos also reported this incident.

The cause and effect are difficult to describe, but as long as it is a country close to southwest China and has some connections, it knows that it is because of the reshuffle of the sugar industry in Lingxi Province.

Although the "21 consecutive jumps" in Lingxi Province are amazing, some traders in Hanoi who do re-export trade and OEM processing are good to lose all their money. Most of them were pulled up because of leverage. The rise in sugar prices does not mean that they will continue to rise. A sudden drop killed countless people.

Hanoi's version of "21 consecutive jumps" is multiplied by ten, not counting the local compradors in Annan who are in partnership with old Europe in Saigon.

In other words, Laos is too small, and it is thankful that it can sell ordinary agricultural and sideline products to Chuncheng. If the volume is not large, the damage will not be great.

Privately, Brada was very respectful to Zhang Haonan and listened carefully to some of Zhang Haonan's team's analysis, of course, some industrial layout.

Lingxi Province's "three plus one" is naturally among them. When the concept of "Pan-Beibu Gulf City Cluster" drilled into his ears, Brada expressed his "loyalty" at the time.

As I said, the friendship between the two countries will last forever.

When the cocktail party was over, the female students offered kisses to each other, but the flowers were willing but the water was ruthless. "Brother Haonan" was too loyal to love, so they had no chance.

Next time, if there is a suitable one, I will try the king-size bed room.

After the party was over, the Strategy Department also counted the number of Laotian students and their resumes.

In addition to the government level, the investment of private institutions in the cultivation of "pro-China factions" is also quite long.

After all, it takes at least ten years for a person to grow from birth to adulthood.

When talking about international students, the Strategy Department meant to let the boss use the business card of "Brother Haonan" more to attract these international students.

"Boss, is the contact with the Laotian Consulate General too deep?"

"What are you worried about? Worried about it?"

"Yes."

"Damn, you are still elites. Use your brains, what is the 'Shashi system'? Answer me this question first."

This question made everyone in the Strategy Department stunned.

What is the "Shashi system"?

What is this question?

"It's a consortium."

"Yeah."

Zhang Haonan didn't comment, just responded, "What else?"

"Is it a 'country within a country'?"

"National white gloves?"

"Special tool platform?"

He still has some ideas.

However, Boss Zhang did not affirm these answers. He opened a can of Coke to calm his nerves. Zhang Haonan then said slowly, "'Shashi System' is a vassal state, a foreign vassal, and a prince's fiefdom that pays tribute regularly. You are the inner court, shogunate, cabinet or any other think tank management agency of the foreign vassal. Is it clear enough for me to say this?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Then, Zhang Haonan said calmly: "Laos is just on the right path now, an international order similar to tradition but different from tradition. The two vassal states Or is there any problem with the communication between vassal states? Anyway, we still have to pay tribute together in the end, so we just make friends in advance. "

"..."

"..."

"..."

After that, Boss Zhang stood up and said to everyone, "Sometimes, don't be too used to thinking about problems with modern management thinking. Most regions in the world are still feudal countries and regions. They just entered the modern society, which does not mean they are modern countries and regions. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

After Zhang Haonan left, the people in the strategic department rethought the boss's speech just now.

After thinking carefully, their thinking habits are indeed too elite for big countries, and it is difficult for them to consider problems from the perspective of small countries.

The internal problems of big countries are extremely complex, and the stakeholders involved are endless, while for small countries, sometimes they are very simple.

In ancient times, people "swerved from Qin to Chu", but in modern society, have they evolved? Have they transcended the shackles of limited resources?

If so, it would not be necessary for latecomers like South Korea to cling to "serving the big powers".

Even South Korea, which has a little wealth, is like this, let alone those who are not as good as it.
