Two BBC reporters fled from Lashio in a panic. They rode in an old-fashioned jeep to Mandalay, more than 200 kilometers away.

Halfway through the car, the driver yawned and said he wanted to take a break. The Englishman watched as he pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked one before refreshed.

It's not a good feeling to park in the middle of the country and walk with an addict. The two Brits, fearing that the smoker would smoke too much and cause a car accident on the way, insisted on driving themselves.

The journey was like a refugee, and after finally leaving the mountains of northeastern Burma and arriving in Mandalay, the British immediately called the local police to say that their interpreter had been shot dead in Lashio — and the local officials only said 'oh' to indicate that they understood.

"Aren't you going to track it down?"

"What are you looking for?"

"Someone died."

"You should have signed an agreement when you applied to go to Lashio, and we reminded you to stay safe. Now you can still come back from Lashio in good condition, this is a great luck. ”

The low-ranking official in charge of the reception did not care about the British alarm, and only made a brief record. This made the British, who is a BBC reporter, angry.

"Are you ignoring the invasion of the Holy Light? Even our reporters in Yangon heard the news that you were indifferent in Mandalay? ”

This is a huge accusation, and the official who received it had a straight face, "You British like to slander and smear for no reason, and the 'Holy Light' group has signed agreements with Wa and Shan states and has been invited to invest in local areas, what's wrong with this?"

Because of the investment of 'Holy Light', half of the tobacco fields in the Golden Triangle have been shoveled. Except for those drug dealers, everyone benefits. This month is noticeably better.

Even we in Mandalay are about to sign a cooperation agreement with 'Holy Light', and the two sides will jointly fund the construction of a regular road with a total length of more than 300 kilometers from Mujie Port to Mandalay, which is expected to be repaired in two years.

As long as the road is repaired, heavy trucks can travel directly from Mujie to Mandalay in four hours. Our grain and timber can be sold to China more easily.

The Light has also agreed to build a vehicle manufacturing plant in Mandalay, and they will send people to teach us how to produce motorized tricycles and quadrangles. From leveling the land to building the factory, to the water supply and power supply, as well as the localized production of spare parts, everything is taught.

Mandalay needs such a factory, and we have selected a plot of land outside the city, and the engineers of 'Holy Light' have guaranteed that the gimber factory can be built in half a year and put into operation within a year. The annual production capacity is at least 100,000 units. ”

When it comes to the figure of '100,000' vehicles, the officials who received them are also full of anticipation. For Myanmar, a country with almost zero industry, a vehicle factory with an annual output of 100,000 vehicles is a huge step forward.

This will lead to the development of an entire industrial chain, increase the employment of tens of thousands of 'high-income', and provide the society with much-needed means of transportation, greatly improving labor efficiency.

The two Brits exclaimed, "This will lead you into a debt trap that you will not be able to get out of." It will be a great threat to your finances, and you will be dragged bankrupt by unaffordable interest. This is the case in Latin America today. ”

The reception officer squinted at this, "Our current finances are rotten enough, how can they be rotten again?" The government has no money to pay civil servants, and we don't even have basic gasoline and diesel.

Besides, how can 'Holy Light' invest by itself, how can it have debt? No one owes any debt, where is the high interest? What are you thinking? The Light doesn't play your tricks. ”

'Holy Light' doesn't even engage in financing?

The Brit was blocked, pondered for a long time before continuing: "You have a vehicle and you still lack gasoline and diesel." With an annual output of 100,000 vehicles, your foreign exchange cannot support a large amount of oil imports. ”

Myanmar is desperately short of oil, gasoline and diesel. But they don't have much foreign exchange to import, which leads to their domestic vehicles can't run, let alone agricultural machinery, and social development is a joke.

But the reception officer shrugged.

"Holy Light is willing to invest in the construction of an oil refinery on the western coast to produce oil for us. They will also lay oil pipelines that will not only meet our domestic needs, but will also be able to export to Chinese mainland.

As for the current fuel demand, 'Holy Light' also expressed its willingness to do its best to meet it. It was difficult for us to refuse, so Yangon also agreed to the investment cooperation project between the two sides. ”

For an agricultural country, the temptation to greatly improve production efficiency is irresistible. For example, a water pump can allow more farmland to be watered, greatly reducing the amount of labor but obtaining several times the profit.

Is that farmer really willing to fetch water in the fields endlessly in the summer when he is busy farming? Aren't you just looking forward to the help of mechanical equipment?

In tillage, sowing, fertilizing, spraying, harvesting, transportation, every link needs the intervention of agricultural machinery, in order to obtain dozens or hundreds of times more efficiency.

But what industrial country is willing to selflessly help another agricultural country? Everyone can say beautiful things, but the interests still have to be negotiated.

Now the Light has appeared. It doesn't talk about anything else, it talks about money.

Machinery factories that produce tricycles, this doesn't matter.

But the refinery and the pipeline sound like a huge project, and it's also a terrible project. The two Brits' heads were going to blow up, and they felt that the news was unacceptable.

"Where is the refinery going to be built?"

"I don't know, it's not going to be decided anytime soon. Anyway, it's by the sea in the west. The reception officer pointed to a map of Myanmar in his office, and the two Brits screamed.

"There must be a conspiracy in this. To the west of Myanmar is the Bay of Bengal, which covers an area of more than 2 million square kilometers and has a water depth of more than 1,000 meters. This place is too suitable for the cruising of ballistic missile nuclear submarines. ”

"No, you can't allow the Holy Light to build an oil refinery. This poses a great threat to a free and democratic world. Where there are refineries, there are ports, and where there are ports, there are military bases. With a military base, it will take over your living space. ”

The two Brits, one by one, seem to be hysterically depicting the coming of the apocalypse.

The cadres who received them were stunned by their teeth and claws, and after a while, they said indifferently: "Yes, just like you British once did." ”

"We are a civilized society, unlike those evil regimes."

"So you're locking us down? Count us among evils. ”

The British are dumb again.

Yangon is now unable to stand the blockade of the West, the country is on the verge of collapse and disintegration, and in the next two years it will have to bow its head and beg for mercy. But now that Zhou Qingfeng has made a move, he really wants to thank the West for cornering this neighboring country.

There are a lot of outdated production lines in China that need to be eliminated, and a huge amount of backward production capacity is waiting to be abandoned. It's all negative assets that no one wants – but not necessarily in other countries.

In a slightly larger city in China, who doesn't have a 'five small enterprises'? With the backward status of Yunnan alone, Zhou Qingfeng can make up a large number of industrial tatters, as well as hundreds of thousands of skilled workers who are about to be eliminated.

Most of these people are in their forties and fifties, they can't keep up with the development of the times, and they don't have the ability to learn and progress.

Anyway, agricultural countries are not picky, they need low-end industrial products.

Isn't that what it was meant to be?

In the long run, there were too many regions in the 90s that needed low-end industrial goods. The market is huge!
