He came to Phnom Penh Airport to pick up Zhou Sen is a Cambodian Chinese, his name is Yang Zhengui, 35 years old, also from Chaoshan, he was very happy to see Zhou Sen, and he waved a sign with Zhou Sen's name written on it.

"You are Reporter Zhou, Dean Zhang called me and asked me to pick you up at the airport!"

"Oh, you're Yang Zhengui, right? Dean Zhang mentioned you to me!"

"Yes, you can just call me Xiao Yang!"

"I've got my vehicle ready, I'm waiting outside the airport!"

Yang Zhengui came over to help Zhou Sen with his luggage, very enthusiastic, Zhou Sen watched while walking and talked with Yang Zhengui.

"This is the Phnom Penh airport in Cambodia, right? How many airports are there in Cambodia?"

"Cambodia has a total of three airports, Phnom Penh International Airport, Sihanoukville International Airport, Siem Reap - Angkor International Airport, Phnom Penh International Airport is the largest airport in Cambodia, Phnom Penh Airport is very small, but the appearance is very beautiful, the inside is also very tidy, the airport signs are also attached to the Chinese, this is because there are many overseas Chinese in Cambodia, in order to facilitate the overseas Chinese, so here is marked with Chinese. ”

"Oh!" Zhou Sen looked up, and sure enough, there were Chinese signs everywhere in the airport hall, and he could understand it at a glance.

Phnom Penh International Airport is quite convenient, surrounded by currency exchange offices, duty-free shops, and gourmet outlets, which provide some fast food, such as pizza, coffee and other food, which can be purchased by travelers.

Yang Zhengui took Zhou Sen out of the airport and got into the car.

"Let's take you to the hotel first, put your luggage away, and then I'll take you to the streets of Cambodia to take a stroll and see the local food, and then go back to the hotel to take a break from jet lag, sleep, and wait until the body is adapted, and then we will arrange the following itinerary." ”

"Okay!" With Yang Zhengui leading the way, Zhou Sen was a lot more down-to-earth.

Before going to a country, Dean Zhang will send the introduction of the country to Zhou Sen, and contact the personnel who come to pick him up in advance, and be Zhou Sen's tour guide to assist him in completing the interview.

Zhou Sen had the impression that this was a backward country, but when he looked out through the windowpane, it was not as poor and backward as he imagined.

There are still small traders on the street, selling all kinds of small goods, there is a small shop selling wallets and belts, the owner can also speak Chinese, and the words "China-Cambodia Friendship Ten Thousand Years Changchun" are written in Chinese next to it, although just a glance, the sign is very conspicuous, Zhou Sen was a little moved.

"Yes, Cambodia is really an old friend of China, and the friendship between the two countries will last forever!"

"Xiao Yang, how many years have you been in Cambodia?"

"My grandfather's generation came, we have three generations of grandparents to Cambodia, I heard my grandfather said that he was born in a small fishing village, his ancestral home is Chaoshan, my grandfather was a fisherman when he was a child, his parents were fishermen, he went out to sea every day to fish, he relied on his own hands to work and eat, only to eat and wear, sometimes it was also very difficult, when he encountered natural disasters, he could not catch fish, and the whole family had no food. ”

"Grandpa's father contracted tuberculosis and passed away, and after his uncle did the funeral for his eldest brother, he left the fishing village with the whole family and went south, successively to Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia. ”

"At that time, in order to survive, there were many Chinese who went to Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia, and our family was also one of their families. ”

"I am already the third generation, my uncle supported my father by his own labor, my father got married and had children, gave birth to me, our family has been used to living in Cambodia, although it is said that Cambodia's economy is relatively backward, but we have been accustomed to living here, and we have adapted to the local environment, we still feel that we can, so we will stay here for long-term development. ”

Zhou Sen listened to Yang Zhengui's introduction, and he understood that if he finds a place for his own development, can survive, reproduce, and live happily, it is okay, everyone has their own ambitions, and they also have the right to choose their own lives.

"Are you still used to the language? Do you learn English here in Cambodia?"

"At the beginning, I learned English, but with the increase and deepening of Chinese investment in Cambodia, Chinese has gradually become a practical economic language, especially in the circle of overseas Chinese, you almost do not need to learn English, you can communicate and do business with them only in Chinese." ”

"In order for Cambodian companies to grow, they need foreign technology, capital, equipment and markets, which can be obtained from dealings with China. ”

"The cooperation between the two countries is also increasing, I will give you an example, for example, to build a concrete batching plant in Cambodia, first of all, you need technical support, related equipment, etc., our Chinese enterprises have these equipment and the price is much cheaper than Germany and other Western countries, then Cambodia will give priority to cooperation with our Chinese enterprises, because our Chinese enterprises give them more preferential treatment, whether it is in policy support, or price are given preferential conditions. ”

"And geographically, Cambodia is relatively close to China, China's exports to Cambodia equipment is also very fast, and Western countries are farther away, the cost of transporting materials is relatively high, and it will further increase the price of goods, not cost-effective, from the perspective of human nature, no one will be willing to go far, China is close to Cambodia, and good to Cambodia, the friendship between the two countries is long-lasting, and there is a foundation for win-win cooperation. ”

"So Cambodia is more willing to sign contracts with our Chinese companies, China is more friendly, and more willing to work together to create a better future, while Western countries are more arrogant, they have a bigger appetite, the price is high, there is prejudice and discrimination against developing countries with relatively backward economies, and the arrogant attitude also rejects many business opportunities. ”

"Oh!" Zhou Sen nodded, he saw some plainly dressed blue-collar workers working on the scaffolding outside the window, so he asked, "Are there many blue-collar workers like this in Cambodia?"

Yang Zhengui nodded, "The proportion of blue-collar class is relatively large, Cambodia was originally developed from an agricultural society, many of them are children who grew up from poor families, and the education they received is not high, and many children are engaged in manual labor when they grow up." ”

"Some Chinese-funded enterprises and factories in Cambodia have a greater need for blue-collar workers, and in areas where there are Chinese-funded factories, after recruitment, the factory is responsible for the training and management of employees, and will provide staff dormitories. ”

"Many young people are willing to pay their employees wages and provide clean dormitories and canteens, so that workers can go to work and have a secure life. ”

"Cambodia's young people are very simple, their living conditions are lagging behind some of China's first-tier cities, second-tier cities, and more difficult than some of our pampered children, as long as they are given a stable salary, they are very serious about their work, they are diligent and good children, I have also recruited some local young children, they are simple and kind, and there is no high desire, and they are still very happy to get along, as long as you are willing to teach them some professional knowledge and skills, they are willing to follow you to learn. ”
