Drugs, Britannia. These words were linked, and Zeng Rong suddenly remembered the Opium War more than a hundred years ago. In order to reverse the trade deficit, the British Empire wantonly imported drugs to China, and under Lin Zexu's anti-drug campaign, it even blatantly launched two opium wars! Let Hua Guozheng axe legalize the opium trade!

In other words, in that year, Britain used force to force the Chinese government to legislate to legalize the opium trade! Subsequently, the British Empire imported a large number of drugs into China, and under the poison of drugs, how many Chinese wives were separated and their families were destroyed!

At that time, Britain thought that it was technologically advanced, its productive forces were strong, and it could trade with China, and it could import a large number of woolen fabrics and other things, and it could make money. But I didn't know the agricultural economy and family economy of Huaguo at that time. Men and women weave and are self-sufficient. There is no need for any foreign goods. On the contrary, porcelain, silk, and tea produced in China became their bestsellers.

In this way, the trade deficit of Britain with China was formed, and in order to solve this problem, the British Empire had no shame in importing drugs into China! And when China held an anti-drug campaign, it even used force to force China to comply!

The Opium War was an absolute disgrace in the history of China. And the behavior of the British Empire back then was even more outrageous! One country forces another country to buy their drugs, which is nothing more than oppression, banditry.

It's just that today's Chinese people still think that the most gentlemanly people in the world are British?

"Okay," Zeng Rong thought to himself, "Ancestors more than a hundred years ago, I'm here to breathe a bad breath for you!" ”

"Ask, see how the warlords used to buy these drugs into Europe." Zeng Rong said to Huang Tao. "Find someone who knows how to run a drug business, contact the British side, we specialize in exporting drugs to Britain, hehe, wasn't they the Opium War they started back then?" Zeng Rong's words revealed a sneer.

That humiliating history, basically a bit of culture of Chinese people know, listening to Zeng Rong's words, Huang Tao's face suddenly showed an excited look, in the end, Huang Tao is still a Chinese, can come out with such a bad breath, Huang Tao naturally feels very relieved!

"I think that's fine." Huang Tao said immediately.

"Direct contact with drug dealers in Britain, without the need for intermediary circulation, just say that we are responsible for shipping directly to their British shores. We take all the risks on the way from us to Britain, and let them get their prices high. Zeng Rong said, Zeng Rong didn't believe that what risks would there be if Heibao escorted drugs along the way?

"Okay, I'll do this right away!" Huang Tao said.

Soon, a drug dealer who had helped a certain big warlord run a drug business was picked out by Huang Tao and brought to Zeng Rong.

Looking at Zeng Rong, the drug dealer looked a little nervous. The warlord he served at the beginning was a powerful figure in his eyes, but the one in front of him destroyed many powerful figures in his eyes.

Moreover, according to legend, this lord is still the one who can compete with Aung San Suu Kyi, and the huge and sophisticated political axe army is also helpless against the Kachin State he leads! Seeing this legendary figure with his own eyes this time, this drug dealer immediately came under absolute pressure.

"General, general, general......" The drug dealer stammered nervously.

"Just call me boss." Zeng Rong smiled, and with this smile, the pressure that had formed on this drug dealer disappeared immediately.

"Boss!" The drug dealer shouted loudly.

"Hey, you don't need to be so godly, in the office, just order." Zeng Rong said. "Now that we have a batch of drugs that we want to export to Britain, can you contact the people on the British side?"

"This one is a bit of a hassle." The drug dealer thought for a moment and said, "Everyone who does our business has our own rules, we buy products, they are all traded in our Shan State, the buyer pays the money, and we ship." After the money and goods are cleared, we only guarantee their safety in our sphere of influence, and we don't ask anything about it. ”

"When things arrive in Thailand, the Thai people want to make money, and when they go to China, the Chinese people also want to make money. Therefore, we have to make everyone else make money so that our business can be good. Britannia has always changed hands through the Thais, and we don't have direct contact with Britons. The drug dealer added.

Listening to this drug dealer, Zeng Rong immediately understood why the drugs in Myanmar were sold, but when they arrived in Europe, the price had increased by more than 20 times! In the process of this reversal, the price is increased layer by layer, and in the end, those who are like wholesalers, and the profits of retailers are higher than those of producers.

"When my products go out, they have to go through Thailand. Because we people in Shan State can't leave Shan State without a pass, so we have to rely on Thai people. In this way, a convention has been formed, and I think this practice cannot be broken, otherwise those Thais will not make any money, and they will go against us. The drug dealer said cautiously.

The drug dealer's original intention was to remind Zeng Rong that there was no need to be unhappy with the Thai Yankees, but the drug dealer knew that Zeng Rong didn't even pay attention to the Burmese political axe, how could he care about the Thai Yankees' thoughts?

"That said, you can't get in touch with a buyer from Britain." Zeng Rong asked.

"Yes, I can only contact the Thai." The drug dealer said honestly.

"Then let's do it, you take care of the matter of refining drugs, I heard that Kunsha has refined the purest drugs in the world before, so you should also develop in this direction." Zeng Rong arranged it. Since it is the person selected by Huang Tao, he should have some ability.

"I'll look for other ways to get in touch with the British buyer." Huang Tao said.

"Well, I'll do it myself." Zeng Rong said, didn't senior brother Lin Xiu join the gang in Europe before? Since you can get your hands on that kind of ground-to-air missile defense system, this must be a minor problem, right?

Sure enough, as soon as Zeng Rong told his senior brother about this, Lin Xiu immediately said, "This matter is simple, one of my apprentices back then, and now he happens to preside over the branch of Britain, which involves the drug business, I will ask him if he wants to buy it directly from you." When Lin Xiu heard Zeng Rong say, he immediately agreed.

Things went smoothly, one was going to sell, the other was going to buy. As soon as the two sides talked, they came to an end. Myanmar delivers directly to Britain at a slightly cheaper price than buying from the Thais, so why not?

According to the $30 per gram set by both sides, 20 tons of drugs were bought for $600 million. When the drug reaches the point of sale, the price is at least tenfold. It can be more than a gram of a staggering 300 dollars. With such high profits, it's no wonder that some people are willing to do it with their heads in their hands.

According to the demand on the British side, Zeng Rong set the output of drugs at 40 tons. As a result, the income from drugs is also worth 1 billion dollars a year.

But Zeng Rong didn't see himself as a big drug lord, just kidding, one billion dollars is not a big amount in Zeng Rong's eyes, Zeng Rong did this, it was completely a revenge mentality. Back then, the British Empire didn't know how much silver it had scraped away from the Chinese with drugs, and I did this just to get back a little interest, Zeng Rong thought to himself.

In addition to this income, the income brought by specialty metals has also increased significantly.

In the past half a year, Heibao has swallowed a large amount of lithium, and his body has grown again, and his body length has reached twenty-eight meters long! The growth of body size has greatly increased the number of special metals produced by Heibao again!

The annual output of ultra-high hardness steel can be increased to 600,000 tons. And the output has increased even more dramatically is aluminum alloy! Not only because the output of Heibao has been greatly increased, but also because the addition of new special lithium has reduced the density of special aluminum alloys produced by Heibao by 20% again, the output can reach 30,000 tons! In terms of the use of lithium, it is used to greatly reduce the density of iron, and then use this very low density iron to use special aluminum alloys. This is the reason why the output of special aluminum alloys produced by Heibao has increased greatly!

The sales of ultra-high hardness steel can reach 6 billion US dollars, and the sales of those special aluminum have reached 15 billion US dollars! This is not surprising, because special aluminum and special lithium are used in special aluminum alloys, two special metals! And in reality, the price of lithium is hundreds of times higher than that of iron!

Of course, this money will not be available until the thing is produced. What Kachin State urgently needs now is the money from the sale of the drugs.

By the time Heibao returned from a trip to Britain, Kachin and Northern Shan began to prepare for an overhaul of the road. The combined population of the two states is 5 million, and nearly 300,000 laborers were employed to build the road, so that some old men in their fifties have joined the ranks of road construction.

Road construction has driven countless surrounding industries, and this large-scale road paving project has driven 500,000 jobs at least within a year!

Before building a road, it is necessary to determine the route of the road. A large number of Chinese experts were hired to explore the geographical environment and determine the route of the road construction.

Of course, the erection of tunnels and bridges also requires technical support from Chinese experts!

"You don't have to worry about the difficulty of digging tunnels, you just have to determine the route." Zeng Rong said to these experts, although he didn't know why Zeng Rong said this, but these experts still did what Zeng Rong wanted.

The route was determined, and Heibao was also involved in building the road, but Heibao's work was done in the middle of the night when no one was around.

No one knew that in Kachin State, Northern Shan State, after the middle of the night, a 28-meter-long snake was digging tunnels everywhere.

The mountain peaks were chiseled through by the black treasure overnight, back and forth. The rocks that should have been hard have been turned into pieces of stone by Heibao, and when the construction workers dig the tunnel in the future, they don't need to use a lot of explosives to blow up, but only need to get the stones inside.

In this way, the hardest and most dangerous project in the entire transportation project was undertaken by Heibao a snake.
