Bidding farewell to Wei Wei, Xiao Yang said to Zhou Sen: "Reporter Zhou, tomorrow I will take you to interview our overseas Chinese in Cambodia, I have a few good friends, I heard that you are here, I hope you can go!"

"Okay, they are all our compatriots, and being able to meet our compatriots abroad is like seeing relatives!" Zhou Sen readily agreed.

Zhou Sen has long heard that the number of Chinese mainland new immigrants to Cambodia is growing rapidly and continues to increase, making it the fastest growing country in Southeast Asia.

The Chinese population is large, the Chinese are no longer satisfied with the development of the country, many businessmen are looking for opportunities for development at home and abroad, the population is large, where there is an opportunity, where to run, so many years, there are overseas Chinese all over the world.

Go back to the hotel to rest for one night, and the next day, Zhou Sen followed Xiao Yang out for an interview, Xiao Yang took Zhou Sen to the place with the most overseas Chinese in Cambodia, and found Liu Mingchang, a Chinese friend that Xiao Yang knew.

Liu Mingchang and his wife are from Guangdong, China, and have been doing business in Cambodia for more than ten years, and the couple have settled in Cambodia and have a pair of children.

After a simple greeting and politeness, it got to the point, and Zhou Sen began the interview.

"Hello, what kind of business do you and your husband and wife do, and why did you choose to come to Cambodia?"

Liu Mingchang said: "At the beginning, we only made some electronic products, radios, headphones and the like in Guangdong, but since some of my relatives made them in factories, there was a supply of them, and we found that Cambodians still needed these products. ”

At that time, it was too troublesome to go to developed countries in Europe and the United States to apply for visas, or it was easier to get a visa to Southeast Asian countries, and Southeast Asian countries are much closer to us. ”

"Relatives have gone to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, and finally he thinks Cambodia is very good, mainly because Cambodia and China have a good relationship, and it is easier to do business here, so he asked us to go together, and we also brought the goods produced in the factory, radios, headphones, Chinese toys, electric trains, toys that children like to play very much, thinking of going out and wandering around, if there is a chance, stay in the local development, really no, and come back!"

"As soon as I went, I went for more than ten years!"

Zhou Sen asked, "What was your impression of Cambodia when you first arrived?"

Liu Mingchang thought for a while, "Cambodia has always been recognized by the world as one of the poorest and backward regions in the world, but we have to look at Cambodia from the perspective of development, as an overseas Chinese who have come to Cambodia to work and live for more than ten years, I still have some experience and feelings!"

"In the past few years, Cambodia's poor and backward face seems to be quietly undergoing some changes, the country's business and trade are developing rapidly, the capital Phnom Penh high-rise buildings are rising one after another, we have witnessed with our own eyes, when we first came, it was still very backward, not as good as it is now, such a rapid development trend is largely due to the Chinese from China. ”

"As overseas Chinese, we are still very proud and proud, we all know that we overseas Chinese are very hardworking, long-term, hard-working, we also have a lot of Chinese friends to open Chinese restaurants in Cambodia, bringing Chinese food culture to Cambodia. ”

"The strength of our Chinese is very great, after going abroad, the Chinese also help each other, very united, the Chinese invest a lot in the real estate industry, among which most of the most influential real estate predators in Cambodia are Chinese, especially the descendants of the Chaoshan area. ”

"The descendants of the Chaoshan region are hardworking, hard-working, have a business vision, and are known for looking for business opportunities, and they have proved the wisdom of the descendants of the Chaoshan region with their practical actions, and many of them have also achieved success and can return home. ”

"We have a deep understanding of this, we came to Cambodia because many shops here are in Chinese standards, the streets are full of Chinese billboards, if you live in the business district of overseas Chinese, you almost don't need to learn the local language, just speak Chinese." ”

"Cambodian bosses also speak Chinese, daily communication is no problem, buy goods, Cambodian bosses know that it is Chinese, will also give some preferential prices, just like Xiao Yang said, people here are familiar, Cambodians are very friendly to us, become friends with each other, trust each other, become acquaintances, get along well, you can settle down and live." ”

After the late 80s of the 20th century, the economic and social status of overseas Chinese in Dongpu Village became better and better, and their careers were booming. ”

"In the 80s, there were a large number of people going abroad in our country, at that time, every household had people who went abroad, and our family also went abroad in this trend, first went to relatives, relatives developed well, and gave us news, took us out together, at the beginning, relatives helped each other, and then introduced friends, friends helped each other. ”

"When I do business, I know more and more Chinese friends, and I also know some Cambodian friends!"

"Xiao Yang's family also met us when we went to his uncle's restaurant to eat, his uncle is really nice, warm and kind, we have become very good friends!"

"Plus there are a lot of hometown sounds, Xiao Yang and I are also hometowns, as soon as I hear the hometown dialect, there is a sense of intimacy, because it is a foreign Chinese, the hometown dialect is really kind!"

Xiao Yang also smiled, "Mr. Liu is also very good, and my uncle often says hello!"

"Hahaha!" everyone laughed.

Liu Mingchang was very emotional, "In the past 40 years, Cambodia's economy has developed by leaps and bounds, and the credit of the Chinese is second to none. ”

"As a Southeast Asian country close to China, Cambodia has always been friendly to China, and is now one of the partners of the Belt and Road Initiative, and China is currently Cambodia's largest donor. ”

"The construction of infrastructure and buildings in Cambodia is rapidly developing, and many projects under construction are often seen in Cambodia, many of these construction projects are built with Chinese assistance, Chinese signs can be seen everywhere on the streets of Cambodia, and many large hotels and restaurants are opened by Chinese. ”

"Many schools in Cambodia have Chinese courses, and it's not uncommon to meet locals who speak some Chinese. ”

"Cambodia has also launched a lot of policies to attract businessmen from all over the world to invest and develop, especially Chinese businessmen, so we have also caught up with the good times, survived the fierce competition, and now life is stable, I am still very satisfied!"

"We Chinese tourists also come to Cambodia for a lot of tourism, and the number is considerable, which also promotes the development of Cambodia's tourism industry!"
