Chapter 958: To Mount Muhammad
Wang Guotao's proposal made Sheen hesitate, but the reason why Sheen hesitated was not because he was afraid of the power of the Angolan government, but simply because he didn't want to make trouble at this time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Schmidt Group and Angola have reached a verbal agreement on economic and trade cooperation, and Mount Muhammad, as a window for cooperation between the two sides, naturally has no need or should not have any dispute with the Angolan government.
Irritating the Angolan government too much will only destroy the relations that have been built up so hard, and this will not only undermine the cooperation between Schmidt and the Angolan government, but will also do little good for the long-term and stable relations between the Muhammad District and the Angolan State.
In addition, it is also very harmful to the development of the Muhammad Mountain Special Region itself.
The economic and cultural development of the Muhammad Mountain Special Economic Zone is gradually growing, and if it is to achieve the goal of sustainable development, there is no doubt that it naturally needs a stable and safe environment, rather than an environment that is often coveted by the governments of neighboring countries.
The so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and this principle is placed here, and it also works.
"No!" Sheen figured it out, so he immediately interrupted Wang Guotao's thoughts, telling him that he must not do things according to this method, and also explained the stakes to Wang Guotao, " However, if the scope goes beyond Mount Muhammad's influence and involves the State of Angola, or even directly in the territory of the State of Angola, it must obtain the permission of the Government of Angola or obtain the cooperation of the State of Angola before taking action. Now that we are developing the Mount Muhammad Special Region, which is geographically adjacent to the State of Angola, it is inevitable that we and the Government of Angola will need to establish a mechanism of mutual trust and assistance. It is a very important thing to have good relations with neighboring countries. You probably know what's going on?"
"Yes, my lord, I see. Wang Guotao was convinced. Sheehan's remarks did mention a number of angles that he hadn't taken into account, so that his proposal for action was indeed incomplete.
Sheen immediately shook his head, saying that it didn't matter, how to say, although Wang Guotao's proposal was not well considered, but as the head of the armed security department, as long as Wang Guotao obeyed the order, he was dutiful, and he was also thinking about the interests of Mu Shengshan, so even if there was something wrong, Sheen would not blame him.
"The work of other departments is carried out in a step-by-step and orderly manner. If we find any problems, we need to improve them in time. Sheen then turned to the rest of the crowd and commanded.
"My lord, in order to develop the economy, I came up with an idea. At this time, Chu Shengshi, the head of the commercial operation department, made a statement and wanted to propose a new plan for the economic development of the Musheng Mountain Special Zone.
"What's the idea?" Sheehan asked.
"The entertainment industry. We can vigorously develop entertainment industries, such as opening casinos, and at the same time improve the banking mechanism to assist the development of the gambling industry, and use people's fun-loving and exciting minds to attract people from all over the world to gamble with us, so as to drive the tourism of Mount Musheng and promote the overall economic development. Chu Shengshi explained the plan in his heart in detail.
Chu Shengshi's suggestion is not a new idea, in Blue Mercury, there are many small countries that rely on this way to develop their own economies, and some even use it as the main source of national foreign exchange income. Presumably, Chu Shengshi hopes to draw a scoop according to the gourd and put such a model in the Musheng Mountain Special Zone to implement.
However, after a little contemplation, Sheehan shook his head and refused.
Because, Chu Shengshi's suggestion is also lacking in consideration.
Sheehan then explained: "In the place of Musheng Mountain, if you want to develop the economy with entertainment industries such as gambling, the conditions are not met. First, as you all know, the geographical location of Mount Muhammad is rather awkward, because most of the neighboring countries around us are not wealthy, and in order to develop casinos, we first need to rely on people from neighboring countries to heat up casinos in order to spread the reputation; second, to use the gambling industry to develop Mount Muhammad, we must first take the risk of destroying the atmosphere of Mount Muhammad. Speaking of this, Sheen paused for a moment and spoke again in a more serious tone, "In addition, don't you forget that the Muhammad Mountain Special Zone is not only not a casino, and it cannot develop the entertainment industry, but more importantly, Muhammad Hill originally established a church, which was attached to many believers, and is more suitable to become a holy place for mortals to make a pilgrimage. Therefore, Mount Muhammad is actually more suitable for creating more humanistic things, and it is more important to move the legends of our country to Mount Muhammad and maintain the hearts and minds of the people. β
When Sheen said this, Chu Shengshi naturally understood his thoughts, so he didn't say much. Sheen looked at him, and still instructed: "In terms of business, Mu Shengshan is the transit point of Xinghua Group's trade import and export, this is Mu Shengshan's duty and role, it is enough to do this duty well, and just guarding this duty is no longer a thing that can be taken lightly." Therefore, I hope that everyone can understand the situation and do not need to do anything else to attract investment. β
Sheen's words were obviously also a little dissatisfied with Chu Shengshi's proposal, because he found that Chu Shengshi seemed to have a tendency to ignore the original face of the Musheng Mountain area, so he had to remind Chu Shengshi with words, which could be regarded as a slap on him, so that he could always keep in mind that he would not forget his heart because of interests.
After all, the headquarters of the Blue Mercury Priests' Guild will be located on Mount Muhammad, so if the Mount Muhammad is built into a holy place for gamblers before that, it can indeed bring a lot of benefits to Mount Muhammad, but what will others think of the priest? Once the priest is no longer a holy image in the eyes of others, what is the point of building the headquarters of the Priests' Guild here?
"Understood. Chu Shengshi really didn't dare to say anything. After all, he had no intention of challenging Sheehan's bottom line.
It's just that the reason why Chu Shengshi made this suggestion was indeed because he had referred to the development models of many Blue Mercury countries, and this suggestion was a plan that he had thought about for several days, but he didn't think that it was rejected by Sheen on the spot as soon as it was proposed, so he was naturally a little unwilling.
However, after listening to Xin's analysis, Chu Shengshi naturally understood that his suggestion was a little too taken for granted, and he forgot Mu Shengshan's duty. After all, although Mu Shengshan needs to develop at the moment, this does not mean that Mu Shengshan Special Region is short of money, and it is indeed not necessary to plan how to make a lot of money.
In short, the commercial operation department is more focused on business management, store planning, tax collection, etc., and can maintain normal operations.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what we are about to build is a special zone that represents the image of the country. Here, what will be embodied is the image of the Xinghua Empire. We want to show our culture to the people of the countries of Blue Mercury. When our culture becomes one of the commonplace things on Blue Mercury, the people of Blue Mercury countries will be more comfortable accepting our culture, and everything will no longer be the somewhat unusual situation it is today. Moreover, as long as this is achieved, at that time, the people of our Xinghua Empire will be able to appear on Blue Mercury on a large scale and move freely...... The Xinghua Empire has truly gained a foothold in Blue Mercury. Sheehan said.
What Sheehan said was actually the situation that Yi Xingchen wanted to achieve the most until today, and it was also the final goal of their consensus to develop the Blue Mercury Xinghua Group and the Xinghua Empire in another world.
Yi Xingchen has always hoped that the Xinghua Empire can gain a foothold in both realms openly, and that the citizens of the Xinghua Empire can walk freely in the two realms, just as he can do today.
In addition to the logistics transfer station of the Xinghua Group, Sheehan briefly described his concept of building Mount Muhammad, and he was more of an expression of his inner hope that Mount Muh Shengshan would always be pure, a cultural tourist destination, and a base where he could develop his pastoral profession and promote pastors to carry out extensive preaching in Blue Mercury.
At the end of the meeting, Sheehan was the first to leave the conference room and return to the office.
However, before he could step into the office, Sophia stopped him and told him that someone in the office was waiting for him for a long time: "Pastor, someone is waiting for you in the office, and he says he is your boss." β
Sophia relayed what the man sitting in the office said, her brows furrowed all the time, and to be honest, she was actually a little uneasy in her heart. Because, although the person who came said it simply, with a bit of unquestionable taste, but as Sheen's assistant, she undoubtedly shouldered the obligation to confirm the identity of the person, but the time was short, and she couldn't confirm anything at all, so she could only tell Sheen the words of the person word for word, and secretly hoped in her heart that the person didn't say anything wild, otherwise, she was worried that if Sheen found out that the person who came was just an idler, she would scold her for not stopping the idler, and let some irrelevant people enter his office casually, breaking the rulesγ
However, speaking of the visitor, his momentum is not ordinary, even the security guard at the door does not stop him, from this point, Sophia can only temporarily believe that the person is indeed a big identity, plus, the person who came said that he is the boss, and there seems to be no place to refute.
So, Sophia had to wait for Sheehan to come back.
When Xian heard this, he guessed if Yi Xingchen was coming? Thinking of this, he walked back to the office quickly.
When Xian En pushed open the door, he saw Yan En at first sight, and was shocked, and then he saw that Yi Xingchen was sitting in the boss's chair, holding a folder, flipping through Mu Shengshan's documents.
Xian immediately closed the door, saluted Yi Xingchen, and said respectfully: "See His Majesty the Emperor, Weichen has lost his welcome!"
"It's okay, I also took a temporary opportunity to visit Mount Muhammad...... From this point of view, the development of Mount Muhammad is not bad. Sheehan, you've done a great job. Yi Xingchen said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is not hard. Sheehan straightened up and said.
Yi Xingchen put down the document and told Sheen to sit down and speak. Sheehan sat down on the couch in his office.
"Anyway, I came here and wanted to know if there were any difficulties or bottlenecks in the development of Mount Musheng. Yi Xingchen asked.
"Your Majesty, the development of Mount Musheng is going very well. Sheehan replied.
Yi Xingchen was stunned when he heard this, why did he go to Mu Shengshan? It was mainly Sheen's description that attracted him. Yi Xingchen really wanted to see where Sheehan had defeated the American forces. If Mu Shengshan has any difficulties, Yi Xingchen can also help solve them.
However, Sheen's performance, as well as his crisp and neat answer, made Yi Xingchen unable to speak.
Mu Shengshan's development is very smooth, so wouldn't there be no need for Yi Xingchen? Yi Xingchen felt that he had come for nothing, and he felt that he was useless.
"Were you in a meeting just now?, what are you discussing?" Yi Xingchen was a little embarrassed, so he casually found something to ask.
"Your Majesty, Wechen convened a meeting to discuss the development of Mount Muhammad. The main issue is the relationship between Mount Muhammad and the State of Angola, and we are faced with some problems as to how to correctly deal with the friendly relations between the two countries. Sheehan said.
"What conclusions have you come to?" Yi Xingchen was really interested in this.
"I think the two sides should work together and follow the path of sustainable development. The trucks that pass through Angola will also give Angola huge benefits, such as tax revenue. The two sides then cooperated to rid the area around Mount Muhammad of the destabilizing factors - banditry, which would be beneficial to the Angolan State. Sheehan suggested again.
"There is something to do on Mount Muhammad, and I just want to go to Angola. Yi Xingchen asked.
"The cooperation between the military and police forces of Angola and the armed forces of Mount Muhammad in the area of Mount Muhammad needs to be discussed and a mechanism for communication between the two sides should be developed. A memorandum of understanding was reached on the premise of mutual respect for each other. Sheehan said.
Yi Xingchen was a little puzzled, and when Sheen saw this, he continued to explain: "We need to set up a mutually recognized department to communicate and avoid any misunderstandings. In some cases, we deal with Angolan citizens who have committed crimes at Mount Muhammad and require the understanding of the State of Angola. β
Yi Xingchen smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said, "I don't care about these things." I was in charge of leading the team to meet with the President of Angola, and the two sides talked about the future. You send someone to prepare the specific treaty, and when the time comes, follow me and negotiate it slowly. β
Sheen also smiled when he heard this, he really didn't need to explain too much.
