When he came to Zhongnanhai and handed the report he planned to Ping Taizong, Qi Yiming was still very apprehensive in his heart. Interfering in the Vietnam-Cambodia War is not good for the country on the surface, and it is all about finding an opportunity for Qi Yiming's Red Police Force to participate in actual combat and gain experience points to upgrade the base.

Ping Taizong sat in a rattan sofa chair, looking at Qi Yiming's report, his brows were furrowed deeply, he looked at it repeatedly, and often needed to look back again, and the words were carefully considered, which made Qi Yiming even more uneasy.

After a long time, Ping Taizong put down the report and said, "This matter is still too big. ”

Qi Yiming chuckled in his heart, opened his mouth and didn't say anything to refute it, feeling a pity in his heart. He is not really a high-level person, to be precise, he is a supplier of weapons and ATMs to this country, but his interests do not exactly coincide with those of the higher-ups.

In Qi Yiming's report, it is mainly about the people Cambodia led by Sihanouk, or more detailed, Sihanouk's personal nationalist army. After the Khmer Rouge was overthrown by Hun Sen and other rebels and Vietnam, there were three main factions in the resistance of the people of Cambodia, in addition to the "National Front for Cambodian Independence, Neutrality, Peace and Cooperation" led by Sihanouk, the "Cambodian Patriotic, Democratic, and National Unity Front" led by Khieu Samphan, a remnant of the Cambodian Communist Party, and the "Khmer People's National Liberation Front" led by Song Shuang.

There was a deep rift between the three factions, because during the Khmer Rouge Reign of Terror, many of Sihanouk's family members were brutally murdered by the Khmer Rouge, so Sihanouk did not have any idea of cooperation with the remnants of the Khmer Rouge at first. Then the three parties competed for power or had their own demands, which also affected them, so that the already weak rebel army could only exist in the form of mountain base areas and guerrillas in the long-term battle.

China has been doing Sihanouk's work for a long time, and it is hoped that he will put aside his prejudices and cooperate with the Khmer Rouge. The Khmer Rouge themselves sorted it out, dissolving the CPC themselves in 1982, declaring that they wanted to create a non-communist state.

In Qi Yiming's deployment, he basically followed the development trajectory of later generations, providing weapons to the nationalist Sihanoukville Army, training officers, and then participating in the war in disguise with a group of his own Red Police soldiers. However, he was quite rough in how to deal with it after the victory, and only mentioned in passing that after the war, Sihanouk could be supported to become the king of the Kingdom of Cambodia and strengthen the friendly relations between the two countries.

However, although he conducted a lot of information inquiries and also asked his staff team to make some details of the content, in the eyes of a politician like Ping Taizong, it was still quite rough. Compared with Qi Yiming's other political operations, this plan to aid Cambodia and resist Vietnam is basically to fight for the sake of fighting a war, how to deal with it in the later stage, the reactions of other countries, and various emergencies are all insufficient.

Seeing Qi Yiming's look of loss, Ping Taizong couldn't help but smile and said, "I know that you are worried about the base, but it's useless to worry too much about this kind of thing." What's more, what you have brought to the country now is already worth digesting for 20 years, so it is unnecessary and unscientific to enter a new stage in a hurry, I think it can be slowed down. ”

Ping Taizong said: "No matter how we say it, we are all socialist countries, what is the matter of supporting a constitutional monarchy in Cambodia? I also understand very well that if you support Cambodia in resisting the Vietnamese invasion, you will not spend much money to take away a batch of equipment that we have replaced, and send a batch of your own troops over, maybe you will be able to recover Phnom Penh in a few months. But what if Vietnam decides to fight back like crazy? It turned into a full-scale war between Vietnam and Cambodia, and Cambodia was absolutely powerless to fight them in an all-out way, so you had to keep adding fuel to it, which involved your energy to do other things. Also, after aiding Cambodia, what will we do next, and what will others do? Will Cambodia bite us again in turn, as Vietnam did? ”

Qi Yiming weakly argued: "Sihanouk is still very close to my country, and China and Cambodia do not border, so I can't talk about a backbite." ”

Ping Taizong shook his head and said: "The input-output ratio does not match, and it is an absolutely unsmart choice, it is clearly written in your historical database, Vietnam will propose their own version of reform and opening up this year, and the gradual withdrawal of troops from Cambodia is already a predictable thing, you are now inserting a lever sideways, making the originally clear things more complicated, why bother?" ”

It is undeniable that what Ping Taizong said is reasonable, Qi Yiming is unwilling, but he can't continue to debate, so he can only accept the result.

Seeing that Qi Yiming seemed to have given up this idea, Ping Taizong breathed a sigh of relief. This old man is definitely not as high-sounding as he said, and there is another reason for rejecting Qi Yiming's proposal to send troops, that is, Qi Yiming's strength has begun to breed rapidly in the party and at the top level.

Especially in the army, because Qi Yiming is in charge of most of the PLA's money bags and equipment supply, many high-ranking military officials are relatively close to him. Especially in the navy, Liu Huaqing and Qi Yiming have a good relationship, and occasionally drink tea together and play chess or something. Air Force Commander Wang Hai and others also have a good relationship with him, and their business contacts are also frequent. Relatively speaking, the army is a little weaker, but through things such as the two-mountain round battle, Qi Yiming has also established some relationships in the army. From what point of view, in a few years, there will be a large number of high-ranking military officials related to Qi Yiming in the PLA, and in order to protect their own military interests, they will become people on Qi Yiming's ship in disguise.

Ping Taizong is a very wise person, but he is still a human being, and it is absolutely impossible to say that Qi Yiming is completely at ease. It's one thing to show affection and trust in him, and it would be really stupid not to be wary of Qi Yiming's personal ambitions. Therefore, Ping Taizong would rather Qi Yiming's base develop slowly, and try to limit Qi Yiming to the range under his control.

"Xiao Qi, I heard that your arms business is doing very well, Saudi Arabia has more than 7 billion, and several countries will buy submarines for more than 7 billion, hehe, if you do this for a few more years, it will be more than the country's foreign exchange reserves." Ping Taizong deliberately steered the topic to the arms trade.

In addition to withholding a small amount of funds and personnel costs necessary for development, a large number of US dollars were directly handed over to the state, and just like the special printing of money by the central bank in later generations, one more dollar in his hand is 8 yuan more. This money makes the country's finances more abundant, and also allows the country to invest and build more confidently and boldly.

Qi Yiming said modestly: "The export earnings of other industries are also very contributing. "At present, a considerable part of the technology and equipment needed for economic development do not need to be imported from abroad, which is equivalent to reducing the demand for foreign exchange in disguise, and the country at this time appears to be more self-sufficient.

Ping Taizong smiled and said: "You are a book of great profits, I think you can continue to do a good job in this area, we can't do anything without money, and the construction of the country needs Xiaoqi's full support." ”

Qi Yiming was quite flattered and said, "This is an unshirkable thing. It's just that the arms market is actually a very suspenseful thing, because the trading volume is so large, and if there is no war, everyone's equipment will be upgraded, and no matter how good and cheap our products are, no one will necessarily want to buy them. ”

"This is also," Ping Taizong said, "Your Shenghua Group is also doing well, I think it is a very good example, even without the help of your base, the output is quite impressive." Your set of modern enterprise management system and business model are very good inspiration for other companies, we are promoting the reform of state-owned enterprises, and your advanced experience and ideas are worth emulating and learning. I'm going to let companies take turns to learn from your company, how about you think more about this area? ”

Qi Yiming combined what he had learned before crossing the road very early, plus the materials from the database, to integrate a set of modern professional manager training materials, and also opened a business administration college, mainly for the training of leaders of some state-owned enterprises. This new trainee is mainly divided into two modes: the short course lasts for one month, and the intensive training is carried out, and then a large number of relevant books will be distributed, mainly to disseminate advanced ideas and concepts, so that managers can get in touch with development trends, and enlighten; The special training class is to cultivate specialized business administration talents, involving marketing, finance, management, MIS, accounting and other fields, the duration of study is two years, in fact, it is an MBA class.

At first, it was mainly the leaders sent by state-owned enterprises to study for free, but later the reputation spread, and some private bosses also came to pay a large amount of tuition to gild themselves. It is difficult to say that some of these people who went to sea first learned the real thing, because many of them were unable to graduate from the school. However, getting acquainted with a large number of senior executives of large state-owned enterprises is also a good way to cultivate contacts, and there is no difference from the kind of MBA classes in later generations.

Qi Yiming also felt that what Ping Taizong wanted was good, and indeed under his personal supervision, Shenghua did have experience and models worthy of learning from other enterprises, which was very helpful for enhancing the vitality of the country's economy and promoting the development of the market economy. He agreed to this matter with all his mouth, and promised to make a deployment later, and return to Ping Taizong to see.

It's just that he didn't think deeply, what other intentions did Ping Taizong have in using such a thing to tie him up.
