Now the most insecure person is not Li Weimin, but the French businessman who has invested in Vietnam.

It is good to have an industry in the cities, but the French who have plantations and mines in the countryside are not so lucky. Almost all those who can run run back to the city, and all the investments outside the city have been wasted. Those who were unlucky and did not run away have been turned into prisoners of the Viet Minh and various warlords, some of whom were abused to death, and some of whom lived a life that was worse than death.

This is also a kind of retribution, they never treat the locals as human beings when they are in the limelight, only give a small salary, and do not even guarantee personal safety.

When Li Weimin was a child, he had accompanied his father to visit a French miner in the suburbs, and the guy treated the local female workers as monkey-like slaves, selected a dozen of the more iconic ones, let them wash them, took turns plucking his armpits and beard every day, and did some chores.

Of course, in addition to doing the above things, the most important thing is to act as a tool for him to vent his beastly desires.

Most of the coal mine guards were black mercenaries from the African colonies, and although they themselves were discriminated against by the mine owners, they showed a strong sense of superiority over Vietnamese women. Female workers are often caught and raped when they are coming home from work or bathing in the stream.

Newspapers reported that a dozen black mercenaries from a coal mine, with the connivance of a French sheriff, had captured a female worker who was bathing in a stream. After gang-raping her by the stream, he tied her hands with ropes behind her back, led her naked and ran back to the mine, and then continued to torture.

Eventually, they threw the dying worker into a small bucket truck and slid into the tunnel.

In another mine, a black warden ordered workers to build a basement in the coal preparation workshop, surrounded by wooden planks and mats on the ground. Whenever they wanted to give vent to their bestial desires, they would take one of the women to the basement and rape them, and if they resisted, they would be beaten and even fired—for he knew that both punishments were feared by the women.

In short, the French businessmen who had businesses in the north were now all in the dust, and they were all like ants on a hot pot, and they were in a hurry, not knowing what to do next.

Where to find such a good thing when buying a factory at the price of cabbage?

As soon as Li Weimin put forward the idea, Ma Anyi, Wu Changming, and other embankment leaders showed great interest. With the consent of the more discerning old man of their family, they went to the sports club and made contact with the French businessmen who did not know where to go, and they hit it off.

Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it.

First dismantle the machine and transport it back into the warehouse, as for where the factory will open in the future, it is really not possible to sell it as scrap iron, anyway, it is purchased at the price of cabbage.

In the next few days, the sports club, the Burj Al Arab and the Queen Hotel staged a series of company acquisition or equity transfer ceremonies. In order to ensure that the process of dismantling and transportation was not disturbed, high-ranking French officials were invited to testify at each signing, and even the headquarters of the expeditionary force received gilded invitations with the smell of perfume.

The eldest brother took the opportunity to buy a machine factory, intending to pull those lathes to the shipyard for use.

The idea was given by his fiancé, and he guaranteed whether he could safely dismantle and transport it back, but he didn't buy it, didn't attend a ceremony, and the cheap was all taken by others.

Wu Lijun was puzzled, looked at the invitation sent secretly by the eldest brother, pouted and muttered: "For the people, the eldest brother said that there are still a few French people who plan to make a move, are we also ...... Also receive one? ”

It's not that Li Weimin doesn't want to engage in industry, but he is not interested in those factories that have little technical content. And the funds in hand are of great use, and they can't be used to buy a bunch of scrap copper and rotten iron.

"Pick up what's left and don't have any good stuff."

After drawing the last circle of the morning on the map, he put down his pencil and said with a mysterious smile: "Besides, how big the pattern is, how big the business can be." Your husband and I are in big business, so I don't need to fight with them. ”

Husband and wife, it makes people blush when they think about it, but it's quite kind to get used to it.

Wu Lijun was sweet in her heart, and asked with a puzzled face: "Draw circles on the map, this is your big business?" ”

"Wife, you're so smart."

Li Weimin hugged her little waist from behind, smelled the faint fragrance on her body while shaking, and explained in a slow voice: "This is my big business, and in the near future it will have a loud official name, called 'Industrial Revitalization Plan' or 'Industrial Village Plan'." One circle represents an industrial village, and there are twelve small circles and one large circle on top of it.

See, this is Pingdong, where we are developing an industrial village, mainly developing light industry related to textiles. If Ma Anyi, Wu Changming and their stinky boys don't want to sell scrap iron, they have to buy or rent our land and build a factory in our industrial village. After that, you have to pay us electricity, water, public security management fees, and sanitation management fees. Anyway, I'm ready for them. ”

Where to build a factory for government approval, thinking of the relationship between her fiancé and Wu Tingyan, the little girl reacted like an empowerment: "Husband, our family wants to build a power plant and a water plant?" ”

Young Master Li had already regarded Nanyue as his own, and added as a matter of course: "There are also sewage treatment plants and landfills. ”

"But...... But...... But with so many industrial villages, do we have so much money? ”

"So the Bank of East Asia wants to sell fund products and sell corporate bonds. In addition, newly registered insurance companies are also a very important financing channel. More importantly, the plan will receive government support, which will not only allocate land for free, exempt the industrial village investment company from taxes and fees, but also allocate a portion of the future US aid to us as an interest-free loan. ”

"Really?"

When I was in Paris, I told Wu Tingyan about these things, and the four brothers, Wu Tingjiu, Wu Tingjin, Wu Tingjiao, and Wu Tinglian, including Chen Lichun, were very supportive. In fact, after the plan is rolled out, it can indeed drive the economy and solve the employment of a large number of people.

Li Weimin, a graduate of the Michigan University of Agriculture and Applied Sciences, and has the full trust of Ngo Dinh Diem, is the natural candidate to implement the plan.

Professor Fisher is very interested in the Industrial Estate Project and is inviting experts in economic, financial and industrial development in the name of the Government Research Agency to refine the project. Therefore, even if Ngo Dinh Diem did not agree before, part of the future US aid will be transferred to the "Industrial Investment Company" as a seed fund.

So much so that at the dinner for Li Weimin and Professor Anderson, Professor Fisher half-jokingly said to Professor Henry: "Man, you are not only going to be the CEO of the Bank of East Asia, but also the future Chairman of the Vietnam Stock Exchange!" ”

Investment funds and corporate bonds are all issued by the Bank of East Asia. If customers are allowed to trade, isn't it a financing platform, a stock exchange?

In fact, it is precisely because of this that Professor Henry gladly accepted the invitation. Otherwise, he would not have traveled all the way from the United States to Asia just to be the president of a small bank with a total capital of only a few million dollars.

Thinking of the bright prospects, Li Weimin grinned and smiled: "Wife, your husband and I didn't go to the United States last time for fun, just for this." As a quick point of fact, my American friends are in talks with several U.S. power and water manufacturers, and they are now lobbying us for Congress to get this big deal. ”

"Why?" The little girl asked with a puzzled expression.

"Because the National Assembly does not pass the Vietnam aid bill, Ngo Dinh Diem will have no money, and I will not have it if he has no money, if I don't have the money, what will they do to buy equipment?"
