Chapter 762: Work will start soon
The sincerity of the King of Siam is still very strong, Lin Xiao has just returned to Hexi City from southern Yunnan, and before he has time to go to work, someone sent him an apology from the Siamese side.
This is a jewelry box, about two feet long, one foot wide, and almost one foot high, the whole is hand-carved with precious wood, and there are Buddha statues and Rui beasts on all sides, which does look a little tall.
In particular, the jewelry box is inlaid with gold and jade, and the craftsmanship is complex, and many crafts are only the kind of things that exist in legends, which are rare to see.
Lin Xiao took a look at the letter sent by Wu Ruo, and it specifically explained that this jewelry box was a treasure of the Siamese royal collection, and it was originally a treasure specially rewarded by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it has been preserved to this day, and its value is incalculable.
"It's actually an antique jewelry box from the Ming Dynasty, this thing is a bit rare......" Lin Xiao was taken aback after figuring out the origin of this thing.
After all, the years are long enough, even if it is an ordinary thing, after these hundreds of years of accumulation, it will become an artifact-like existence.
Not to mention, the thing itself is handmade from very precious wood, and the gems set on it are also amazing treasures.
But when Lin Xiao opened the jewelry box, he was even more surprised.
The jewelry box is divided into nine layers, and within each layer, a variety of gemstones are hidden, which look like stars in the night sky.
Lin Xiao took a general look, and found that there were hundreds of gems of various colors in it, all exuding a rich aura, and it was obvious that these were real guys who had been hidden in the inner courtyard of the Wang family for a long time and had been contaminated with a lot of royal energy.
The most important point is that most of these gemstones are perfect rough stones that have not been processed, and once you find a skilled craftsman, you can process them into your favorite type, whether it is a pendant or a ring or a stud earring, it is a very valuable look.
"His Majesty the King has a heart." After Lin Xiao read it, he felt more satisfied.
Although when he said that, he was intercepted by a group of unreliable people, but now that there are so many gifts as compensation and apology, Lin Xiao feels that it is still more cost-effective, after all, the existence of those people does not pose any threat to him at all.
"This kind of thing, if you come a few more times, it can be regarded as a trick to making a fortune!" Lin Xiao put these things away, thinking that he could make a lot of jewelry to please the women.
You know, these sparkling gems are actually the best props to touch a woman's heart, and basically few people will not be affected by this thing.
After reading these things, Lin Xiao called Wu Ruo and said that he was satisfied with these things.
"I won't talk about the previous things, I hope we can cooperate as soon as possible to complete the Kra Canal project, which is a win-win project." Lin Xiao said to Wu Ruo on the phone.
"That's fine." Wu Ruo responded on the spot, "In fact, His Majesty the King hopes that the Kra Canal can start construction within the year, but I don't know if the Huaxia side will be able to do this?" ”
In fact, the Siamese side is a little frightened by this big project.
Even though this is digging a trench in the ground, the trench is a bit too big, so many people are worried about whether the project will be able to do it.
In Siam, there are not a few people who have this idea.
In particular, the construction period of this project is too long, and many people can't afford it, although they have seen that after the successful excavation of the canal, it may bring a few rich profits, but because it is too long, many people are worried that they will fall down before the canal is completed.
In particular, these politicians are eager to monetize everything, and this kind of long-term investment of huge sums of money is not actually of much interest to many people.
In a country like Siam, which has to change governments and military coups once a year or two, which government leader dares to guarantee that he will be able to wait until the day of harvest?
Since it is possible that the cost will not be recovered and the benefits will not be enjoyed, then no matter how big the project is, it has nothing to do with itself, let alone bother to promote it.
Lin Xiao saw through this problem from the very beginning, so he did not go to the Siamese government, but directly to the Siamese royal family, because only the interests of the royal family are eternal, and no matter how the Siamese government changes, the interests of the royal family will not be damaged by the turmoil in the government.
If the Kra Canal can be successfully dug successfully, this matter will only be operated by the royal family.
"Will it start within the year? It's not that hard, but it's a bit of a time crunch, and I need to start focusing on it. Lin Xiao muttered to himself when he heard Wu Ruo's words.
The excavation of the Kra Canal is definitely not a trivial matter.
However, since a long time ago, some people have begun to survey the hydrogeological environment of the Kra Isthmus, and various plans for the construction of the canal have been designed, including not only the Chinese side, but also the Japanese side with related interests.
Now these plans are all cheaper for Lin Xiao, because he is now the investor and organizer of the Kra Canal, and all the benefits belong to him.
Before the canal was dug successfully and operated successfully, Lin Xiao's will could decide everything about the Kra Canal, even after the canal was dug successfully, Lin Xiao still had the power to speak his word in the management of the company.
It is true that the Siamese royal family owns 20% of the shares, but they have the right to dividends at most, and they do not have much say in the operation of the company.
And judging from Lin Xiao's understanding of the Siamese royal family, it is not easy for them to send a talent who understands economic management.
Although Princess Ciri is a talent, it is also relatively difficult, and it is very difficult for her to manage a large canal company.
This is not a trick, and if you don't do it well, it will make a mess.
Therefore, Lin Xiao has enough confidence that he can fully control the situation in Siam and open up the situation in Indochina Peninsula by digging the Kra Canal.
The topography of Siam is inherently important, especially the Kra Isthmus, which, once opened, can control the passage from the Indian Ocean to the South China Sea and the Pacific Ocean, which in turn directly affects the security of more than a dozen nearby countries.
In the past, Huaxia had been unresolved on this issue and had not made up its mind, on the one hand, naturally because of the obstruction of the Americans and the vacillation of the Siamese side, and on the other hand, because its own strength was far from enough, and it could not radiate to this side at all.
Now that China's navy has also begun to develop into an ocean-going navy, and its comprehensive national strength has also been significantly improved, it is natural that it is a suitable time to open up channels to the outside world.
Ten years ago, China and ASEAN established a strategic cooperative partnership, and with the joint efforts of many parties, it ushered in the "golden decade" of Asia's development, which can be called a model of global regional cooperation to achieve win-win results.
China has been ASEAN's largest trading partner for many years in a row, and the bilateral trade volume has risen from more than $50 billion a decade ago to more than $440 billion.
Siam is strategically located in the center of the Indochina Peninsula and is also an important gateway to the Mekong region and South Asia.
After the opening of the Kra Canal, the trade between the ASEAN Trade Area and countries around the world will no longer pass through the Strait of Malacca, and the Kra Canal will shorten the voyage of more than 1,000 kilometers in a straight line compared with the original Malacca route, which saves a lot of shipping costs and time costs for the logistics and freight of the ASEAN Free Trade Area.
At that time, ASEAN, China, Japan and the world's trading bodies will benefit immensely from the opening of the Kra Canal.
Lin Xiao can control such a large company, of course, he will get enough voice in the world, this is his real purpose.
As for making money or something, for Lin Xiao, it is no longer the most important purpose.
If he wants to make money, how can he not do it?
Even if you use the simplest and crudest way to go straight to Las Vegas, it is estimated that all the casinos should be closed.
Once a person reaches Lin Xiao's level, there is basically nothing that can really worry him, the only difference is just what means to choose to achieve his goals.
The value of the jewelry box is huge, Lin Xiao originally wanted to put it in his residence, but after thinking about it for a while, he still stuffed it into his ring storage space, which is the safest.
Early the next morning, Lin Xiao went to the Municipal Party Committee to cancel his vacation and chatted with Zhang Chenglin, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, about some work matters, and then returned to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and officially went to work.
However, as soon as he came back, Yang Xiaohu, executive deputy secretary, and Li Quanshui, deputy secretary, rushed over to report to him on the recent work in the unit.
After all, he hasn't been here in Hexi City for a while, and Lin Xiao has only listened to some things on the phone, and now that the others have returned, he naturally can't ignore them.
The three of them talked for more than an hour before they could be regarded as telling the story.
"However, there is one more thing that needs to be asked what Secretary Lin should do." Yang Xiaohu glanced at Li Quanshui, and then said to Lin Xiao.
"You're talking about Chen Xiaowen and a few of them being beaten, right?" Lin Xiao nodded and asked Yang Xiaohu rhetorically.
"That's it." Yang Xiaohu nodded and admitted.
Yang Xiaohu was not surprised that Lin Xiao knew about this, after all, this matter was not a secret in the officialdom of the entire Hexi City, and it was not surprising that Lin Xiao knew about it after he came back.
In other words, when Lin Xiao was still in Mingzhu City, he had already received a report on this matter.
