Chapter 556: It's Really Breaking the News!

This is the first time that Yang Weiping has officially acknowledged his relationship with the Rock Mercenaries in front of media reporters. It was also the first time he publicly declared his relationship with the Yang Tusi family in Northern Burma.

Such a blockbuster news made all the reporters on the scene excited.

"Sir Yang, what position do you hold in the Northern Burmese Democratic Autonomous Government?"

"Sir Yang, the Burmese government says that you have been forcibly interfering in the internal affairs of Burma, what is your explanation?"

"Mr. Yang, some people say that you are a modern warlord in China, what do you think about this?"

"Mr. Yang, may I ask if the Northern Burma Democratic Autonomous Government is a puppet regime supported by the Huaxia Government?"

"Sir Yang, may I ask if your actions in Burma have the support of the Huaxia government?"

"Mr. Yang, does Tiangong Group's investment in China have plans to transfer to North Myanmar on a large scale?"

"Sir Yang, does the cooperation between Tiangong Group and Huaxia First Airlines mean that the government of North Myanmar and the government of Huaxia have officially cooperated?"

“……”

In the face of the "surging feelings" of reporters from the major media in the audience, Yang Weiping seemed to have been mentally prepared, with an affinity smile like a professional diplomat on his face, and waited quite calmly for almost three minutes, before slowly standing up, pressing his hands in the void, signaling everyone to be quiet.

After all the reporters sat down and stopped speaking, Yang Weiping looked around and said calmly: "For the issues just mentioned by reporter friends, first of all, I need to be clear about any words and deeds of my Yang Weiping. None of them have anything to do with the government of the mainland of China.

Second, the soon-to-be-established democratic autonomous government of North Burma is a democratic autonomous government spontaneously organized and established by the people of all nationalities in North Burma, and it has nothing to do with any national government, still less is it a puppet government supported by the Chinese government! Here, I solemnly remind certain people with ulterior motives that they can eat indiscriminately, but they must not talk nonsense!

In addition, I have specially convened this press conference today in the hope of announcing it to the outside world through major media. I'm Yang Weiping. From now on, he will not hold any position in the government of mainland China, nor will he hold any position in the government of North Burma.

I am just a pure businessman, and I will only consider and decide the future investment direction of Tiangong Group from the perspective of commercial interests, and will not be involved in any political factors! The economy can be detached from politics. As long as you can make money. More than anything else!"

After finishing speaking, Yang Weiping stretched out his hand and pointed to a blonde, blue-eyed white female reporter sitting in the middle of the second row.

"Dear Sir Yang, I am Joanna, the chief correspondent of the New York Times in China. According to the observation and analysis of our economic experts in the United States. Since the implementation of China's economic reform and opening up, China's average annual economic growth rate has been as high as 12.6 percent, which has surpassed the average annual growth rate of 10 percent in Japan, which had the fastest economic development in the post-war period.

The reason why Huaxia has been able to achieve such an astonishing economic development rate is closely related to the leading role of Tiangong International Group in investing in China. Sir Yang, how long do you think Huaxia can continue to develop at such a high rate?"

Yang Weiping pondered for a moment, and his face turned serious and replied: "The current high-growth and development rate of China's economy is determined by the correct national policy implemented by the Huaxia government, and there is no direct causal relationship with Tiangong Group taking the lead in investing in China. However, if there are no major changes in China's existing economic operating mechanism and economic structure, this kind of high-speed economic growth may not last long.

Economists in China and in the West believe that China's current economic operation is 'driving fast on a potholed road' and there will always be times when it can't run. Personally, I am supportive of this view.

This is because this viewpoint reminds the high-level policymakers of the Chinese government to be vigilant against the potential dangers and hidden dangers of rapid growth. Reducing ineffective growth, strengthening basic industries, and expanding market bottlenecks are important conditions for maintaining rapid economic growth!"

After Joanna sat down, a white European man in his forties in the back row was allowed to ask questions.

"Hello Sir Yang, I am Stevens, the correspondent of the British newspaper "The Sun" in China, and listening to your answer just now, can I understand that because you are not very optimistic about the current rapid growth of the Chinese economy, and the views of most of the officials in the Chinese government who are optimistic, you will be excluded from the Chinese political arena?"

After Stevensey's questioning fell, the scene became extraordinarily quiet, and everyone turned their eyes to Yang Weiping, who frowned slightly on the rostrum.

Yang Weiping stretched out his hand to support the microphone, his face turned indifferent, and he smiled indifferently: "Mr. Steven used the word 'exclusion' to deliberately give me a problem. To be honest, I really don't want to answer Mr. Steven's question.

However, it seems that everyone is very concerned about this issue, and if I don't give a clear explanation, it will definitely attract all kinds of speculation in the media. In fact, at my age, it is impossible for me to become a senior minister in a country's government. However, the new generation of Chinese leaders gave me this opportunity.

Although I have achieved certain work results during the period when I presided over the leadership work of the China Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, this does not mean that my work ability will definitely be able to do this position. There is only one reason why I have not been able to continue working in the China Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, that is, my Yang Weiping's work ability is limited, and I am not suitable to be this official.

Officialdom is different from shopping malls, and I, Yang Weiping, are as good as a fish in water in shopping malls, which does not mean that I can be handy in officialdom at my age and experience. I have to admit that in the officialdom, I, Yang Weiping, am a complete loser! Okay, I have answered all the questions that should be answered, and this is the end of today's press conference.

As Yang Weiping got up to say goodbye and left the seat, the media reporters at the scene rushed out of the multi-purpose hall as quickly as they could. Except for a very small number of reporters who wanted to find an opportunity to conduct an exclusive interview with Yang Weiping, they were still sitting in place recording something, and everyone else was thinking about how to send the "fierce news" in their hands back to the newspaper as soon as possible.

For the foreign journalists who were fortunate enough to participate in this press conference today, although it was not a long time, Yang Weiping did reveal too many hot news materials to them today. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a media feast.

However, reporters from major domestic newspapers, radio and television stations felt that they were holding an extremely hot potato in their hands.

Wang Jun, Li Mingzheng, Yang Shaojun, and Wan Kai were all present at the press conference from beginning to end. Based on their political sense, they judged that no matter whether Tiangong Group could successfully cooperate with Huaxia First Airlines, Yang Weiping would definitely not stay in China for too long.

Aside from Yang Weiping's unoptimistic attitude toward the existing high-speed economic growth in China, the government will certainly make it clear that it will resolutely draw a line of demarcation with him when he publicly announced today that he is the boss behind the Rock Mercenaries.

Wang Jun really wanted to find a chance to talk to Yang Weiping alone, but there were too many people who wanted to have private contact with Yang Weiping. In addition to those tycoons from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the ambassadors of the United States, Britain and other countries to China even held Yang Weiping at every opportunity.

Wang Jun knew very well in his heart that these diplomatic envoys stationed in China wanted to learn directly through Yang Weiping about the diplomatic policy of the soon-to-be-established North Burma Democratic Autonomous Government.

Although Yang Weiping has made it clear that he is just a pure businessman and does not want to get involved in too many political issues. But from the moment he admitted that he was the boss behind the Rock Mercenaries, he was clearly branded as the de facto ruler of the regime in North Burma.

Clear-sighted people know that what Yang Weiping said at the news conference was actually a message to the Huaxia government, and he, Yang Weiping, did not want to be in the muddy waters of the Huaxia mainland anymore. Since your Chinese government does not give him the opportunity to show his strength, and everyone has different political views, he can only find another way, find a territory where he can be the master to implement and prove his lofty ambitions.

As for Yang Weiping's mention that Tiangong Group and Huaxia First Airlines will cooperate, diplomats from various countries in China attending today's reception all felt that this was a smoke bomb released by Yang Weiping to cover the transfer of Tiangong Group's assets in China. Therefore, they all hope to seize the opportunity to introduce the next major investment projects of Tiangong Group into their countries.

It is important to know that whether it is the Y20A-300 four-engine long-range civil airliner or the Y20B Global Overlord military strategic transport aircraft, for any country, it is a major high-tech project at the national strategic level that it is eager to obtain.

The Huaxia government packaged and sold the original Xinyun 10 project to Tiangong Group as a whole, which is equivalent to Huaxia automatically giving up the research and development of large aircraft. All the achievements developed by Tiangong Group on the basis of Xinyun 10 no longer have anything to do with the Huaxia government.

From the very beginning, the US Government has been plotting to stifle Huaxia's research and development of large aircraft, and now it is difficult to see that the relationship between Yang Weiping and the Huaxia Government is becoming more and more stiff.

The British government is also pondering that if Tiangong Group can move its headquarters to the British mainland, it is equivalent to bringing the Y20A-300 civil airliner and the Y20B global overlord back to the United Kingdom, and if this idea can be realized, it will be of great significance for stabilizing the prestige of the Thatcher cabinet and enhancing the global status of the British Empire.

With Hughsfeld beating the side drum, the British ambassador to China, Sir Collida, clearly had a much greater advantage than the ambassadors of the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany to China.

The United States and Britain are originally allies, and the US ambassador to China, Woodcock, of course, knows that Sir Yang has a unique and intimate relationship with the British Field family, and anyway, as long as Yang Weiping can be persuaded to give up cooperation with the mainland government in China, whether he goes to Britain or the United States, the effect will be the same.

Based on this idea, the ambassadors of the United States and Britain to China soon reached a tacit understanding, and made full use of their skillful diplomatic skills, which occupied almost most of Yang Weiping's time during the party. (To be continued......)
