Chapter 0677 The Richest Man's Digital Social Experiment

In fact, the richest man in Tang is to let the members of the business delegation who came with him see what kind of business territory he has gotten for operation.

Funan is now very poor, but it doesn't matter, its area is almost 2 times that of South Korea, 5 times that of Baodao, 180 times that of Xiangjiang, and more than 300 times that of Singapore.

It may be inappropriate to compare the state to a business, but some commonalities are clear, and land resources are precisely the ones that are least likely to be replaced.

Moreover, the scale of Funan's "capital" is just enough for Tang Huan to operate - it is too big, hundreds of millions of dollars are smashed into it, and it will disappear as soon as it is apportioned; It's too small, there's no room for maneuvering.

And the volume of Funan is within the scope of Tang Huan's control, and the resources he has can not only ensure that he "paints" according to his own intentions, but also prevent others from picking peaches - because the little people don't have that strength, and the big people don't have the scruples to gain more than they lose.

It can be said that having a country-level enterprise resource is definitely the highest level that a businessman dreams of, and Tang Huan now has such a card in his hand.

The people who can be favored by Tang Huan and brought in are naturally not mediocre people, and they can see the subtlety from the head-of-state reception specifications put forward by Funan.

Before coming, everyone inevitably did their homework to understand the situation in Funan, in addition to the business opportunities in Funan claimed by Tang Huan, the first concern was of course security, otherwise even if there was a richest man packing tickets, no one would necessarily be willing to risk his life.

At this stage, although Funan has not yet completely stabilized, it is not far from this step.

The biggest foreign enemy, Annan, is exhausted, and the big brother, the Soviet Union, is too busy to take care of itself. It has even begun to plan to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan, and it has no spare energy to provide generous assistance as before, so it has to think about how to keep itself safe in the general situation of being attacked from the back.

There are two signs of this change from offense to defense.

One is the puppet regime that Annan had planted before, and the people were panicking and trying to find a way out. And Annan has nothing to do about it, after all, it has become a burden, and it can't be brought back to China to carve out a territory to raise, that's too much of a loss!

On the other hand, the Funan Navy occupies an area of the disputed Phu Quoc Island to ensure the safety of its coastline, while An An can only stare dryly, whether hard or soft, and there is no effective means to change the situation.

This is the big picture. It is the accepted result of an analysis by the international community. In other words, the upcoming Independence Day celebrations, with representatives from various countries, are the icing on the cake.

Now, after seeing with their own eyes and determining the stable trend of Funan and their particularly friendly attitude towards Tang Huan, they can't help but feel active.

Especially in public with the media. Prince Hanouk said with a spring breeze on his face: "You are Tang's friends, and those are also my friends. Be sure to stay out of sight and have a great time in Funan. ”

Could there be a more intimate statement? When Prince Hanouk and Tang Huan had a closed-door negotiation before the banquet, the small groups in the business delegation inevitably began to whisper.

Originally, everyone did not plan to engage in industrial investment in Funan, but was optimistic about Tang Huan's reputation and participated in the financing of Mr. the richest man's hotel, airport, hospital and other projects. It's a sure-fire investment.

But now it seems that the current Funan is a rare good place to enter the bottom, if several partners join forces to resist possible business risks, and directly carry out project operations. The room for appreciation can be a real surprise. After all, a tax benefit alone is basically worth the ticket price.

At this stage, Baodao capital is eager to go out, the United States is a good place, but the threshold is high, and the distance is too far, it is inevitable that the whip will not be long, but the neighbors on the Asian side are all under the world of Japan, and by virtue of its control of the Asian Development Bank, almost all the good projects have been eaten, and Funan, which is now popping up, is a rare and valuable undeveloped land without the control of the Japanese.

While the members of the business delegation were making wishful thinking, Tang Huan and Prince Hanouk had a frank and friendly closed-door meeting, which could be said to be nothing.

Although China is good, after all, Funan is its home and roots. Therefore, Prince Hanouk, who was restored after more than ten years, was so excited that he didn't need to describe it, and regarded Tang Huan as his own family.

Although he was too close to him, Tang Huan still maintained strict etiquette to show respect for His Majesty the King, and reaffirmed his original intention and heart to support the liberation of Funan.

After those scenes labeled as "justice", Tang Huan said frankly: "Before World War II, many American billionaires would invest in a small city and experiment with a utopian society; Now, such an ideal is almost extinct, and there is no room for this ideal to be developed. I have a similar experimental ideal, which is to build a digital society based on computer networks. ”

Prince Hanouk is indeed very familiar with this topic. In his opinion, the ideal experiment of Mr. the richest man is simply a game full of science fiction. One of the most impressive things about this is that in this digital society, people don't even have to use cash, and they can complete various transactions directly through electronic money

At that time, Prince Hanouk once joked that if this goal was really achieved, the country would save the high cost of printing banknotes and eliminate counterfeit banknotes, but just do it conveniently, the key is that there is no need for a huge tax authority, and the computer will do it directly.

Prince Hanouk then asked curiously, "Isn't it right to experiment with such an advanced ideal in a developed area, and why did you choose Funan, an underdeveloped place?" ”

Tang Huan replied more directly, "Advanced technology does not mean that you are willing to accept it, the inertia of society is difficult to resist, just like spitting, ignoring traffic lights and crossing the road, repeatedly prohibited, how can you put an end to it?" Swinging braids? A casual discussion of 'human rights' in those developed regions can make the experiment stillborn. And this is only the most superficial resistance, on the other hand, Funan, which is almost a blank sheet of paper, does not have so many concerns. ”

In fact, it can be said that Funan is surrounded by three forces: the right wing, the left wing, Annam and its puppet regime. In turn, the country may be purged even more than the revolution from below. In this case, many measures are much simpler to implement.

Verbal and lettered discussions such as these, as well as Han Anyuan's centralization as a royal son-in-law, strengthened trust, especially Tang Huan's generous investment. Pushing for a fundamental change in the situation in Funan's favor, Prince Hanouk quickly accepted Tang Huan's ideal experimental idea -- if the richest man wants to play games, then I will set aside a separate "special zone" for you to play games, no matter what the results of the experiment are, they are all cheap, and they are always ten thousand times stronger than the other party's political demands.

It is precisely this point -- Tang Huan's own posture of not being interested in political interests made Prince Hanouk dispel his guard and be willing to accept Tang Huan's "investment."

Therefore, Tang Huan tirelessly brought up the topic of digital social experiments again, and Prince Hanouk did not feel tired of it at all. He likes the connotation of the political posture revealed in this! Reassure him too!

Prince Hanouk also made a heartfelt statement: "Funan has decided to implement a market economy system, which will fundamentally protect the investment of business friends, especially the 'special zone' of Hanoukville Port." ”

This emphasis also reflects Prince Hanouk's pragmatic attitude, you know, during his first reign, he called his political philosophy "Buddhist socialism", that is, under the protection of Buddhism and the monarchy. Implement a socialist policy. And a well-known essential feature of socialism is the "public ownership of the means of production."

For this ambition, Prince Hanouk even stepped down from the king's position on his own initiative in 1955. In order to circumvent the many constraints of the constitutional monarchy, he competed for the post of head of the executive, and became the prime minister and foreign minister as a prince; As a result, it was finally overthrown by a coup d'Γ©tat by pro-American right-wing forces.

After decades of ups and downs, Prince Hanouk is obviously much more pragmatic in all aspects. After all, the world is changing. China is changing, and so are its neighbors. And the goal of change is to survive and even be strong.

With such a foundation of trust, the two sides talked very happily, and even Prince Hanouk took the initiative to ask Tang Huan for suggestions in other areas -- although the other party wanted to dissociate himself from the Funan government. But his knowledge and connections are a valuable resource that cannot be ignored, and he has to post it with comedy.

For example, about the war between Funan and Annan, and the future relationship, Prince Hanouk asked Tang Huan, the big benefactor, his opinion.

"In international politics, the main factor is power." Tang Huan groaned and said: "Therefore, we must calmly see that in the geopolitical situation of the Indochina Peninsula, Funan is only a very small party, not a very important party; It's just the side that stands in a key position, not the one who plays a key role. It is enough to be able to drive the invaders out and retain the initiative on the coastline. The next priority is its own development, if you have any purpose of revenge and invade the territory of Annam, then you must take the initiative to give the initiative that you have finally gotten in your hands, lose the moral high ground, and be dragged into the quagmire of resource consumption. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan smiled slightly, "Arms dealers naturally hope that the war will never stop, so that the money can roll in, but we have no money; The great powers also wanted us to continue to charge on the front line before the Cold War, but we had no one. ”

Prince Hanouk nodded understandingly, Tang Huan's words were full of the mysteries of the international relations facing Funan, in short, to be used as a gun, there must be a limit, do what you can, this is also consistent with what you think.

Before you know it, the closed-door meeting talks about the moment when the banquet begins. Prince Hanouk and Tang Huan appeared together and delivered enthusiastic speeches respectively, and the former invited everyone to invest in business, which was quite surprisingly received a lot of responses.

Noticing that among the members of the business delegation who came with him, the attitudes of many people quickly changed subtly, and Tang Huan couldn't help but smile.

It stands to reason that the mainland across the sea is the most ideal output target for Baodao Capital, which is struggling to find a way out, but unfortunately due to political reasons, it is not even possible to invest indirectly at this time.

In this way, Funan, which has already been determined to pursue a market economy, is not an ideal choice.

As for Xiangjiang Capital, it is better not to grab the resources of the mainland, and the geographical lineage is the same, and the attraction over there is also greater.

However, there is still some capital on the Xiangjiang side, tentatively extending its tentacles, anyway, the cost is not much, in case the income is acceptable, then this attempt for business opportunities will produce a surprise.

Among them, the major newspaper groups in Xiangjiang have sent personnel to set up offices, and the reception of the head of state in front of them has been included in their field of vision.

After the banquet, Prince Hanouk, Han Anyuan and others were busy with other affairs, after all, there were more heavyweight foreign guests to attend the Funan Independence Day Celebration, and the preparations for the reception were sloppy.

Tang Huan and his entourage, who had come a few days earlier, took advantage of this gap to carry out intensive visits and investigations. Although it has been devastated by the war, it is irreplaceable as the capital and is still the largest urban settlement in Funan.

Of course, everyone's focus is on business opportunities in the economic field, and Tang Huan also has one more content - cultural exchanges including movies and TV dramas.

The movie "Oriental Condor", which made Hong Jinbao tired and thin, has been released in one of the few movie theaters in Baibao and more open-air theaters, which just meets the entertainment needs of people's peace of mind.

In addition to Wu Hanrun, the best Oscar-winning supporting actor, Tang Huan also invited back from France to Funan's rare movie star Dara, she starred in the movie called "AnEuilSreyAn", which was released in 1972 and became very popular, but due to the subsequent war, she and her husband fled to France to live a difficult life, and now they finally have the opportunity to return to their hometown, and the excitement is beyond words.

With the help of Wu Hanrun and Dala, two local stars in Funan, "Oriental Condor" was very popular and the venue was full, as for the box office - this economic indicator is not to be mentioned, because at this stage, compared with the number of moviegoers, it is of little significance, and people's hearts are the most valuable income at present.

In addition, Tang Huan also inspected several real estate projects of Qinhe Infrastructure in Bainang, especially the military residential area that is basically completed. He even attended a group wedding and happily gave a big red envelope, because these young men were essentially his soldiers.

Wang Yongqing and others, who were dragged together to watch the excitement, can be regarded as understanding what Tang Huan relied on to ensure the huge investment he had made in Funan. (To be continued.) )
