Chapter 509: Interview with a Burmese Girl
Mandalay City has industries such as tea packaging, silk weaving, winemaking, jade grinding, copper casting and gold leaf crafting, as well as shipbuilding, food, woodcarving, gold and silver jewelry, etc.
Zhou Sen listened to Thayer's introduction, or felt that this second city in Myanmar still has its advantages, Thayer took everyone to visit, Zhou Sen saw a lot of Myanmar traditional tea picking, tea making, weaving, winemaking.
Although these traditional industries are not as modern as those in developed areas, Thayer told the story that Mandalay has supported many of the local Burmese through these traditional jobs.
Provide jobs, the manufacturing industry has factories, it is necessary to recruit workers, workers go to work in the factory, the factory will pay the workers every month, let the factory support the family, promote employment, so that people can live and work in peace and contentment, so that the workers have labor, they can have the physical strength to put into production, the production of the factory can ensure normal progress, the more goods produced, put into the market, and the more money can be earned.
"It's mutually reinforcing, factories need to recruit workers, they need skilled workers, it takes time and money to train workers, and factory owners like to hire skilled workers who can be hired right away, so they can save time and training costs," Thayer said. ”
"There are other traditional industries, such as copper casting and gold leaf craft, as well as shipbuilding, these small or large traditional manufacturing industries, all need to recruit workers, providing opportunities for workers' employment, of course, the front-line operators of these manufacturing industries are very hard, the daily work is boring, repeated, always repetitive, monotonous work. ”
"Physical strength is required, workers are engaged in heavy work on the front line, they are actually quite pitiful, for the sake of the whole family, they can only work hard and earn money to support their families!"
"Yes, it's really not easy!" Thayer took everyone to visit, Zhou Sen watched the workers on the production line lift the bulky things, a middle-aged worker, with his shoulders on the top, looked very difficult, which made Zhou Sen sigh, where to work is not easy, the world of adults, there has never been the word easy!
Mandalay is the central Myanmar material distribution center and the largest transportation center in the interior, the waterway along the Irrawaddy River can be traced up to Myitkyina, south to Yangon, there is a railway south to Yangon, north to Myitkyina, Lashio, a number of highways meet here, and there is also Kan Myauta Acei Airport in the suburbs.
"The traffic here is still convenient, in Myanmar, the city is very convenient for transportation, the population is also very large, the better life, the more people can be attracted from other places to move here to live, for ordinary Myanmar people, where can live, can live, can find a job, can support their families, people are willing to live there, very practical!"
Zhou Sen nodded, "Yes, many ordinary people are willing to find a place to live well, modern life is indeed not easy, although we have developed modernization, our living conditions are now much better than before, but young people still have to go out to work, there are wives and children at home, as well as the elderly, and the burden on the shoulders of young people is also very heavy!"
Thayer nodded, "It's the same in Myanmar, the pressure on men's shoulders is also very great, wives get married and have children, many don't go out to work, some women do part-time odd jobs, help people sew clothes, wash clothes, etc., or rely on men to be the pillars of the family." ”
Southeast Asia has beautiful scenery, a pleasant climate, lush vegetation, and many islands, such as Myanmar, Thailand with dense jungle and rainforest, Malaysia and Indonesia are full of sunny beaches.
Before coming to Southeast Asia, Zhou Sen knew very little about Southeast Asia, and always felt that Southeast Asia was full of mystery.
After coming, I found that Southeast Asia is very charming, dense jungle, with the original natural scenery of nature, without too much artificial mining, or maintain the natural features of the tropical rainforest, go to so many countries in Southeast Asia, Zhou Sen has seen a lot of scenic spots, or a lot of emotion.
Zhou Sen saw a few Burmese girls on the side of the road, they were wearing skirts, standing on the side of the road, smiling at Zhou Sen, Zhou Sen suddenly wanted to interview them, and then asked for their opinions, telling them that Zhou Sen was a reporter, would he be willing to be interviewed?
The girls nodded in agreement, Liu Dazhuang picked up the camera, and faced the camera, the Burmese girls were a little shy.
Zhou Sen chatted with the local Burmese girl, when he mentioned to the Burmese girl, are there many tourists who come to Myanmar?
The girl said that Myanmar is actually very rich in natural resources, but it is undeniable that Myanmar's economy is particularly backward, technological development is relatively slow, and many resources can not be fully utilized, but many Chinese men are more economically minded, and their horizons are relatively broad, and many people see that Myanmar is a place worth developing, and they begin to settle in Myanmar and develop themselves.
"I think Chinese men are still very smart, very business-minded, very good at finding business opportunities, they all say that Jews are very business-minded, have a keen sense of business, can survive wherever they go, can find a suitable life to do, but I also think that Chinese men are very smart, they are very adaptable, very adaptable to the local environment, it doesn't take long to find patterns and find business opportunities. ”
"And China's small commodities are cheap and good, if they are shipped to Myanmar to sell, they will be loved by the locals, and I also like Chinese clothing, Chinese cosmetics, Chinese shoes and bags, the price is very affordable, very attractive to girls to buy!"
Found a lot of Chinese who have made a fortune in Myanmar, this Myanmar girl also said many advantages of Myanmar, Myanmar's price level is relatively low compared to China, work pressure is much less than China, and for the concept of marriage, Myanmar is completely different from China.
Relatively speaking, Myanmar is more patriarchal than China, so when it comes to marriage, Myanmar men will not be as difficult as Chinese men's women's families, which may be an important reason why many Chinese men are willing to settle in Myanmar and get married and have children in Myanmar.
There is no need to have a house, a car, a deposit, and no bride price, so that you can get married, which may be something that many Chinese men dream of.
"Wow, there is such a good thing, you don't need a house, a car, a deposit, and a bride price?" Zhou Sen couldn't believe his ears.
"Hahaha, it sounds really good, there are beautiful girls in Myanmar, it's also good to pick it!"
The Burmese girl also smiled, "Yes, Chinese men who come to Myanmar stay, do business, start a business, and then choose a gentle and virtuous Burmese woman, get married and have children, stay in Myanmar, don't leave, there are many people!"
