Chapter 441 . Economic Development Zones
Is this going to be a business or something, knowing that the place is dangerous, and still trying to get together to invest, is it looking for a fight? "I do have some friendship with General Ava." Huang Wenbin said, "He really wanted to revitalize the economy of the mining area, so I discussed with him to exchange all kinds of daily necessities for jadeite, and I also planned to build a timber processing factory in his place." But if he were to fight there, it would be too dangerous. β
"Boss Huang, this is your idea of doing business normally." Director Ma said, "What CDB is doing is not a normal business. β
"Not normal business?" Huang Wenbin asked.
"Our focus is on helping the country's economy." Director Ma said, "In our country, the land is big and thin, thick and thin, all resources are lacking, and all resources must be imported. But if you want to import it well, there are always people who make trouble for you. If nothing else, let's just talk about Myanmar, it was easy to talk to them about a power station, and said that we would build it, and most of the electricity would be supplied to our country, and they could use the rest by themselves, and we would pay for the electricity. As soon as we started construction, the locals came to make trouble, saying that we were destroying the environment, and then the Myanmar government stopped us from work. In fact, we are destroying a bird, that is, the local warlords have been bribed to cause trouble for us. We want to buy it back, but we can't find a suitable channel yet, and you say that you are wronged or not. β
Huang Wenbin doesn't know anything about Myanmar about "this ......".
"So now we have to learn to be obedient, your Burmese government doesn't cooperate, or can't cooperate, right, then it doesn't matter, let's go directly to the people below." Director Ma said, "General Ava is a good target, directly controlling thousands of troops, as well as his own basic territory. β
"I don't think General Ava is a warlord, and he has to ask the government about everything." Huang Wenbin said.
"If you have a territory, you have an army, and you can raise your own salary, and this is called a warlord. It doesn't matter if you ask the government or not. Director Ma said, "At the local level, such warlords have the final say, and the central government has to discuss with them what they want to do." Just like when we were in the Republic of China, the warlords in the countryside were as respectful when they heard the name of the chairman of the committee, but it did not affect them to be warlords. In the past, we suffered this loss, and we always thought that the central government was so strong in controlling it, but in fact it was not the same thing at all. In third world countries, many central governments are in charge of capitals and ports, and most of them are small warlords. If one day it becomes bigger, it will have to change the dynasty. β
"Myanmar seems to be quite stable." Huang Wenbin said.
"Because I can't move anymore, the first twenty or thirty years have been very lively, and it has stopped a little over the years. You wait, in a few years everyone will be done recuperating, and we will have to fight again. Director Ma said, "We will fight until everyone has no strength, and then we will negotiate peace, redraw the sphere of influence, and then recuperate, and reincarnate again." β
This is true, Huang Wenbin remembers that Myanmar was also a pot of porridge before the crossing. But at that time, he didn't have any intersection with Myanmar, and even if he looked at it, he couldn't remember who hit whom. It seems that the Burmese government is fighting the local forces, and it seems that the government army has won, so it would be nice to take a closer look at it at that time.
"Now General Ava is very badly injured, although it is not to the point that he cannot pay his salary, but all kinds of benefits have been cut a lot. If we can help him stabilize his position, we can not only befriend General Awa and use his power to connect with other forces in Myanmar, but also set up an exemplary effect and follow Huaxia to make a fortune. Director Ma said, "What are the details of your project, do you have any detailed information?" β
"Yes." Huang Wenbin hurriedly took out the feasibility report, which was written with Fang Tianhe's help.
"It's really written with flowers, it's written by Xiaofang, right?" Director Ma smiled and said.
"Yes, Mr. Ma, do you see anything wrong with my writing?" Fang Tianhe did not shy away from taboos at all.
"As far as the application is concerned, it's pretty good." Director Ma said, "But Xiaofang, you have done it in the bank, or my protΓ©gΓ©, this level is not good." You look at this, the evaluation method used is completely wrong, and the conclusion is completely wrong. And here, how can you use estimates, even if you use estimates, you can't round them up, you can only cut them off. There are so many other mistakes that I can't go on and on. If you're still in the bank and making such a feasibility study, I'll have to scold you to death. β
"It's been too long to leave the banking system, hand-raw." Fang Tianhe said with a smile, "Teacher Ma will help me correct it." β
"I can't help it." Director Ma took out a pen, drew a circle on it while looking at it, and said to Huang Wenbin, "Your project is mainly divided into three parts, one is to exchange daily necessities for jade ore, one is to help General Ava build a factory for export, and the other is to build a wood processing factory in his place, right?" β
"That's pretty much it." Huang Wenbin doesn't dare to mention the market share or anything now, obviously people know more about the situation in Myanmar than Huang Wenbin, "Export or something, in fact, is General Awa's idea, I don't think there is much hope." Timber processing factories depend on Myanmar's policies, and if they win, they can make a lot of money, and if they lose, they will lose money. β
"We are afraid of everything, but we are not afraid of losing money." Director Ma smiled, "It's just a few hundred million, if it succeeds, it will keep the timber exports, and also deeply control the timber export industry in Myanmar - of course, it's only temporary, people will also build processing factories - but it's also great to control it temporarily." β
At the end, he asked Huang Wenbin, "Your wood processing factory is expected to cost 800 million yuan?" β
Huang Wenbin also knows that the price is too high, the equipment for processing wood is very cheap, the land is free, and the freight is not much (because it is his own ship), if it is really calculated, two or three hundred million is enough, and he also wants more money when he writes 800 million. "If you save a little, five or six hundred million is enough." Huang Wenbin said.
"What to save, how can this thing be saved!" Director Ma said, "Look for yourself, what is this budget like, the transportation cost is only so little, how can it be enough?" The transportation fee for this kind of project must be listed enough, otherwise the budget will be exceeded, and the machine will be thrown halfway through? Also, the public relations fee is only listed at 50 million! How is this enough, no matter how familiar you are with General Ava, this public relations fee cannot be less. Besides, the mining area itself only has a few fishing ports, and bulk goods have to go through regular ports, which is someone else's territory. β
"General Ava will come forward, I have cooperated with him on a lot of projects, and I will not drop the chain on such a trivial matter." Huang Wenbin said.
"What if someone else doesn't give him face?" Director Ma said, "Boss Huang, doing business abroad is different from that in China, and it is profitable, but the difficulties on the road are ten times higher than those in China." Even if you work hard to build a timber processing plant in the mining area and cultivate a good market, you are about to make a lot of money, and General Ava loses the war and a new owner comes to the mining area, won't you lose all your money? β
"This ......" Huang Wenbin really hasn't done business abroad, but it's actually the same in China. Huang Wenbin knew that it was dangerous for him to have so much money and no high-level background, but he didn't work hard to make friends with high-ranking officials, but he knew that there would be a large wave of tiger fighting operations in the future, and he didn't know how many people would be unlucky, and if he took refuge in the wrong person, he would be beaten together. When he came back, the tiger fight was not over.
"So, to do this kind of big project, the money must be sufficient." Director Ma said, "The port, along the road, and around the city are all indispensable." 800 million is too little, I'll give you 1.8 billion, 800 million for projects, 1 billion for bribes...... I mean, good relations with local forces. β
It sounds a little wrong, spending 800 million to do business, but it is necessary to take a billion to pay bribes, how high is this profit margin to recover the cost? Originally, 800 million was a false report, but now it has become 1.8 billion, even if it can really be processed for the whole of Myanmar's logs, it will take ten or eight years to recover the cost. Can this kind of business be done for ten or eight years, it's obviously impossible.
This kind of local policy in Myanmar will not last for 10 years if it changes three times a day. Even if it really continues, as Director Ma said, you will build a wood processing factory, I won't? It's not a unique technology, the skills of the machine workers are all cabbage, and they can be trained for a few months.
"Won't it be more?" Huang Wenbin asked cautiously.
"No, it won't." Director Ma said, "The good karma received this time can also be used in the future." As for the project losing money or something, if it loses, it will be lost, and then the debt will be restructured. Their mining area is near the sea, but there is no good port, you can negotiate with General Ava to build a regular port for him, and if you want to import and export in the future, you can directly go to this port. Then negotiate with the surrounding warlords to build a good road, from the mining area directly to the timber production area, and later cut the wood and send it to the mining area for processing, reducing transportation costs. Our forces will be able to invade along this path. β
Invade...... Sounds like imperialism, Huang Wenbin asked: "Can the Burmese government agree?" β
"They agree, that's certainly the best. If you don't agree, it's blocking people from getting rich. Director Ma said, "We share the same hatred with local forces, isn't this relationship getting closer and closer?" There's no way, forget it, now there is such a golden strip to make a fortune, who is willing to guard Baoshan and suffer poverty, when the time comes, you secretly build a small port for smuggling, everyone has to accept your love. β
This is simply ignoring the law of the country, although Huang Wenbin is short of money, he doesn't dare to take this kind of money. took the money from the ordinary bank, Huang Wenbin dared not to do anything, and returned the money in the future. But with this kind of policy money, will people let him go if he doesn't do anything? "It's too big." Huang Wenbin said with a sad face, "It's beyond my ability." β
"I didn't say I left you alone." Director Ma said, "Of course, step by step, there is no need to rush." If we succeed, you and I will be great heroes of the country, grasping such a large development zone and attracting such a large number of local forces, and we will not be able to eat it in the future. If it fails, then it can't be helped, you say no. β
