Chapter 425: On the Chinese in Southeast Asia

(The point of view generated after substituting Boss Li does not represent me, my views will have the opportunity to be elaborated in the future, and there have been readers who have asked 'racial discrimination, related questions, and the follow-up will be in the 'South Africa chapter', and there will also be a personal opinion statement)

The group boarded the plane to Bangkok, Thailand, and on the plane, Shen Bi and Lorraine looked at Sean with very strange eyes.

Funny with contempt, contempt with helplessness.

After all, Sean still feels nostalgic that he was not received by the official when he arrived in Hong Kong!

Q: How can I guarantee an official reception on arrival?

Answer: Drive the fleet over in advance!

Sean did this this time, communicated with the Thai government in advance, and prepared to visit Thailand with a fleet, of course, he himself made airplanes.

Battleships are not so comfortable.

This is all with a battleship to visit, can it not be ceremoniously received?

If you don't give face to Sean, you have to give face to the battleship!

So, when Sean's sky palace arrived, he received the most grand reception at the airport.

The King of Thailand, 61-year-old Zheng Gu, wore a ceremonial dress to receive him in person, accompanied by his son, Crown Prince Zheng Mian.

(Every Thai king has a Chinese name, surnamed Zheng, because the first Thai king was the king of the Thonburi Dynasty of Thailand, the son-in-law of Zheng Xin of Teochew, and then took out the throne through a coup d'état, and then said that he was the son of Zheng Xin before he was recognized by the Qing Dynasty and obtained the de jure throne.) )

The band, flowers, applause, and the filming team all went on for an hour with tedious etiquette.

In the end, Sean was a little irritable, and he regretted making such a big deal!

This is not the first time he has come to Thailand, but he has come quietly and not very formally.

It's not too late, after greeting at the airport, the group went to the Thai Royal Palace to visit, browse, and explain...... Banquet.

It took a day to go through a set of processes.

Of course, this is not without benefits, and during the meeting after the banquet, King Zheng Gu of Thailand sent an invitation to Sean, hoping to cooperate with the umbrella in the field of military security.

Invite the umbrella to help train the Thai navy, and conduct no less than three training exercises a year to help the Thai navy improve its combat effectiveness.

In addition to this, it is hoped that the umbrella will help train Thailand's own special operations forces and rainforest combat units.

It is no secret that Thailand, although ostensibly calm and free of rebels, has a lot of drug criminals and local militants living in the border rainforest.

This is like a cancer for Thailand, which has a very bad impact on Thailand's internal security and brings great trouble to economic development.

Just look at the local police in Thailand.

At the same time, it also affects Thailand's international reputation.

If a sovereign country can't even handle the illegal armed forces within its borders, you will know what level the combat effectiveness of the country's army is.

It's hard to be in awe of the country.

Sean nodded approvingly, if the Thai military was strong, he would not have visited with a private armed fleet unscrupulously.

He had never visited the east with a fleet.

I have never been to France or England, and I dare not get close to Lao Maozi!

As for other countries......

Hey, aren't there only five sovereign states in the world?

Ahem......

For the order of the King of Thailand, Sean naturally gladly agreed.

It can be said very politely that the US military may not be firm in its beliefs, but in terms of training methods, it is definitely the world's top, and of course, the equipment is also.

A five-year training partnership agreement valued at $800 million.

Although it is only training now, and there is no plan to assist in defense, in fact, the umbrella side needs to send more people, and this is really teaching the real thing.

Of course, how much Thais can learn, that's not Sean's concern.

On the other hand, the King of Thailand is also very satisfied.

In the eyes of the King of Thailand, Sean's visit plan is nothing more than two points, first, to help the United States expand its influence in Southeast Asian countries, and second, to seek benefits for himself.

However, the King of Thailand didn't want to do anything with Sean to assist in the defense of the sea and frontier.

There is an ancient saying in China, it is easy to invite the gods and it is difficult to send the gods, and there is an idiom called doves occupy the magpie's nest.

The fleet has the right to station, and the umbrella can easily penetrate its tentacles through the fleet to the places, to all corners.

Therefore, he changed his way and trained the army, which was not only good for the Thai army, but also gave Sean more, which not only won over Sean, but also prevented the large-scale infiltration of the other party's influence, and also expressed a signal to the outside world to stand with the United States.

It was just perfect!

Both parties are satisfied, and so is Belloc Tonny!

As an American, ADM's director, Belloc Tonny felt valued in Thailand and throughout Southeast Asia, but that didn't make ADM's business unimpeded.

On the surface, everyone was very polite, but secretly they were very vigilant, and faintly formed an alliance to resist ADM.

This annoyed Belloc Tonny.

But the problem is, there is nothing he can do.

You can't go to the door, put a gun to the other person's head, and ask them to sell the land to ADM!

But now, Sean is here, and the opportunity is here!

Look, look, the fleet reached the port, the guns were opened, the missiles were on the shelves, and the king immediately came out to greet him honestly, and then signed a series of 'treaties', and asked if you looked familiar?

The remainder, of course, is to open the ports, open the market, and let it be as you want!

Belloc Tony really has a lot of reason to be excited, after all, he was the first to propose to cooperate with Sean in Southeast Asia, in exchange for Sean's support, and dominate the Southeast Asian market!

Now, Sean is stepping on the colorful ...... Sean is here with a fleet!

That night, Sean moved into a property given to him by the Thai royal family, a large villa on the beachfront.

With a group of warblers and swallows, so happy!

The next day, Neil, who had been based in Bangkok, arrived, and Sean told him about the agreement reached between the Umbrella Society and the Thai royal family to help the Thai military train troops and improve combat capabilities, especially in the mountain rainforest.

The reason why I told Neil this was to make him prepared, and many of Neil's customers were armed with the group of drug criminals in the mountains.

"That's a good thing, you can pass the news first." Sean shook the red wine in his glass and said with a smile, "Let those drug criminals be nervous, not nervous, how can they be willing to pay for more weapons!"

"Later, whether it is for exercises or actual combat training, we will launch an offensive encirclement and suppression of the drug criminals in Sannai, so that they can see the benefits.

"Be careful, don't lose everything!" Neil frowned, he knew what Sean meant, only when the two sides fought, did he have the desire to consume.

"No, don't worry, I believe in the Thai military, they don't have the strength!" Sean laughed, "It's a good thing to make your customers suffer a little, save them from being arrogant."

"What do you do with all the money, money is only money when it is spent!"

"It's not a good thing for them to have more money, and when the pigs get fat, they will be slaughtered!

"After they have suffered a lot, you can sell them more and more advanced weapons, especially individual anti-aircraft missiles, which cost 200,000 US dollars a shot, not a single cent!"

"Poof!" Neil squirted out a sip of wine, black market weapons are indeed expensive, and the regular Sam-7 priced at $2,000 will be sold for 20,000, ten times the profit, this is the rule.

But Sean's mouth is 200,000, a hundredfold gap, which he didn't expect!

"If no one cracks down on bandits, then no one buys 2,000, and if there are often people who suppress bandits, then it's naturally another matter, demand determines the market!" Sean raised his eyebrows, "When the time comes, let the media follow and push it, and criticize Thailand's drug epidemic, the government's inaction, the military's poor combat effectiveness, and its inability to fight drugs, etc., they will naturally do it."

"Don't care about the final result, if it hits, then praise it, and I'll let the umbrella push it."

"There are comings and goings, and the market is vibrant!"

Neil laughed and gave Sean a wink, "Boss, you're so bad, I like it so much!"

"Get out!" Sean trembled in disgust and kicked him over.

Neil bit his lower lip and raised his buttocks, looking shy, "Lighter."

"you!" Sean hurriedly retracted his feet, speechless.

Neil laughed again.

It took a long time to get back to the topic, "I'm afraid that they will be hit too hard, and if they retreat deeper, they will move to Laos and Cambodia.

"It's fine." Sean shook his head and said, "You can also sell them a training when you go back, find Bill, we have absorbed some Colombian special forces in South America, the best jungle warfare in the world, rainforest warfare expert troops, and it is interesting for both sides to take turns to improve their combat effectiveness."

"Great idea!" Neil's smile gradually became perverted

......

After confirming that Sean was resting, Belloc Tonny came to the door, and did not forget to bring a gift.

Of course, Sean doesn't care if he brings gifts or not, he only remembers those who don't!

Lying on a beach chair and drinking juice, Sean listened to Belloc Towney talk about the situation in the agricultural market in Southeast Asia, and the current difficulties encountered and the problems that Sean needed to solve.

"Taking Thailand as an example, 30% of Thailand's population is currently agricultural, and agriculture is also Thailand's most important export, the main source of foreign exchange, mainly rice, cassava, palm oil, rubber, sugarcane, etc., which are all within the scope of ADM's business."

"You still want to eat it all!" Sean pulled his sunglasses down a little and squinted at Belloc Tonny.

"It's better to eat them all." Belloc Tony said as a matter of course, but then shrugged, "But the problem is that our acquisition has been met with resistance, delays to be exact, a bit of non-violent non-cooperation.

"Don't think about it!" Sean directly sentenced Belloc Tony's idea to death, "It's very difficult for you to buy land in Southeast Asia, and even if you do, it's just a little bit and has no effect."

"Why?" Belloc Tony looked puzzled.

"The United States, Australia, South America, and Southeast Asia were all colonies of Europe, and if you look at the time of discovery, Southeast Asia was the earliest, very early, and merchants from the Mediterranean region came to Southeast Asia, and then the United States, South America, and Australia." Sean thought for a moment and said, "But now we can look back and see a problem."

"What?" Belloc Tonny looked curious, not understanding how Sean had pulled it hundreds of years ago.

"In the Americas that were discovered later, the indigenous people were basically killed, and there were not many indigenous people left in South America, all of them became mixed-race, and Australia was the same, but the indigenous people in Southeast Asia, which was first discovered, have remained intact."

Belloc Tony nodded, it's true, it's the same colonization, the Europeans completely occupied North and South America and had absolute influence in Africa, but not in Southeast Asia, not at all.

"Because, the natives here are not closed, when the Europeans began to colonize Southeast Asia, they found that the level of civilization here did not lag behind the Europeans, than the cavalry, they saw the Mongols, than the fleet, they saw the Ming Dynasty, than firearms, in the 16th century, everyone was on the same level."

"The reason for this is because they have been deeply influenced by that ancient empire in the east, which has been influenced for more than a thousand years."

"So, what are you trying to express?" Belloc Tony was still confused.

"Culture!" Sean raised his hand and snapped his fingers, "The culture of owning land affects every Southeast Asian, so it's hard to get ownership of land from them like you do in South America!"

"What's more, in some countries, the land is still in the hands of the Chinese, so it is even more impossible for you to buy it."

"What then?" Belloc Tony frowned.

In North and South America, several major grain merchants started to control the entire industrial chain from the land, but now they are stuck at the source.

"Divide, co-opt." Sean gives the answer.

"Can you be more detailed, dear Mr. Sean?" Belloc Tony was completely incomprehensible.

"In detail, let's start with history, it's quite a long story."

"It's okay." Belloc Tony raised the juice in his hand, "We have a lot of time."

"Okay, when it comes to differentiation and co-optation, we must first understand that in Southeast Asia, we can simply distinguish between two groups, indigenous and Chinese, and it is they who we need to divide and co-opt!" Sean squinted his eyes and said with some playfulness in his tone: "If you take out the rich list over the years, then you will find that most of the rich people in Southeast Asian countries, except for Annan, are Chinese, and 80% of them are Chinese."

(Annan because after the Vietnam War, the government confiscated Chinese assets in 1977, forcibly expelled them from the country, and forced each Chinese who left to pay 12 taels of gold, and one-third of the Chinese died.) )

Belloc Tony tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Well, indeed, but why, this is Southeast Asia, why the rich are not natives, but foreigners, and this is not Africa, I can't understand it at all."

"If we compare Southeast Asia to Europe before World War II, then we will be surprised to find that the Chinese in Southeast Asia are to some extent a copy of the Jews!" A strange smile tugged at the corner of Sean's mouth.

"Southeast Asian countries have launched an anti-Chinese movement every few years, starting with the Hongxi Massacre in 1740, just as Europe began to collectively anti-Semitism every few years.

"The Jews are a people without their own country, although the Chinese have a prosperous city in Southeast Asia, but they have only been independent for 24 years, which is insignificant in the 400-year colonial history, and they cannot provide any help to the Chinese militarily, demographically, geographically, and land, and politically they are seriously influenced by the British, and they also cannot provide much help, at most it is a haven of funds."

"In those years in Europe, the richest people were Jews, not the aristocrats of European countries, just like in Southeast Asia now, the richest people are Chinese.

"However, in those years in Europe, it was back and forth, and it was the Jews who had the money, just like the Chinese in Southeast Asia now."

"So, it's not like it." Sean looked at Belloc Tonny with a smile, "They are all foreign peoples, they don't have their own country, they are all business-oriented, they are all the richest people, they all have their own language, their own culture, and their own heritage, and they will not be assimilated by the locals, and they will all be periodically reversed."

Belloc Tony had a hellish look on his face, "It's really similar!"

"Yes, if we dig deeper, we will also find that every time we oppose China or oil, it is those middle and low ranks who are killed, while the rich luxury people and Jews at the top are still alive and well."

"The reason for this situation is that the roles of the Chinese and the Jews in Southeast Asia are almost the same."

Sean smiled and continued, "They all made their fortunes in the first place because they were white gloves for the local magnates."

"Because the Jews have no state, they have no concept of state, they are pure businessmen, everything is aligned with interests, because they have different languages, cultures and races, and they cannot take root in the local area, so they collude with the local elites, who use the Jews to extract the maximum profits from the people, and the Jews use the protection and privileges given by the elites to collect money several times over."

"But when the social contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, the state shifts the contradictions to the Jews for a harvest, alleviating the contradictions and redistributing the wealth of these Jews."

"And those real top Jews have already used their connections to get information in advance and run away, or they are simply protected by local elites, and when social conflicts become a thing of the past, they continue to jump out and repeat their work."

"So, the Jews are still Jews, and they are still the richest ones, and of course, then the United States came along, giving the Jews a whole new piece of soil, and it was completely unfinished."

"Of course, the Jews are not so terrible after having a state."

"It's a similar story in Southeast Asia, the only difference is that the Chinese service elite has never been natives of Southeast Asia, at least not before World War II."

"In the early days, the Chinese were backed by the Eastern Empire, although it was almost the same as being a superior person, but after the decline of the East, after the arrival of the European colonists, in order to better and more economically manage the indigenous people and extract the maximum profits from the colonies, they found that the local Chinese were very similar to the Jews in Europe, so they adopted the old method and gave the Chinese in Southeast Asia the greatest privilege and became the high-level management of the local people by the colonial government."

"To manage mines, to manage plantations, to manage ports, to manage factories, to have all kinds of special rights, including contracting taxes for a village, a tribe, or a city."

"The Chinese took advantage of this privilege to make a lot of money, and the colonizers also directed the hatred of the locals to the Chinese, and when the contradictions accumulated to a certain extent, an anti-Chinese incident was set off, and then everything went back to square one.

"Back and forth, the really pitiful, miserable are the ordinary Chinese and Jews, and the rich at the top...... Even more pitiful!" Sean said categorically, as a capitalist, you must finally end up in your own class!

"That's history." Sean picked up the juice and took a sip before continuing, "Of course, there is an essential difference between the Chinese and the Jews in Southeast Asia, which is also the reason why the Chinese can still maintain the most wealth after the independence of the Southeast Asian colonies after World War II."

"First, unlike the Jews, who like to wander, the Chinese do not like to wander, they prefer to take root in one place, and the Chinese like the land and the real economy, which is engraved in the bones and in the genes."

"It is also the use of the privileges given by the powerful, in order to make it easier for the Jews to run away, they prefer to engage in finance and equity, rather than the real industry that cannot be taken away, while the Chinese have taken advantage of the privileges given by the European colonizers to get too many ownership of mines, plantations, ports, etc., which makes it possible for the Chinese to retain their wealth de jure after getting rid of the colonizers."

"Second, the Jews really don't have a country, and the Chinese are not, behind them are the suzerains of Southeast Asian countries that have been subjugated for 2,000 years, which makes the countries in Southeast Asia dare not really pick up the butcher's knife after independence, and forcibly snatch the mines, land, ports, factories and other fixed assets owned by the Chinese de jure in law, and even some of the concessions set back then are still in their hands."

"This is the advantage of having a backer, and it is also one of the reasons why Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia strongly supported the East before and after World War II.

(PS: Some information is inconvenient to enumerate, in the early years, Southeast Asian countries had a lot of communication with the great man, hoping to get back those privileges and people's livelihood related to the economic lifeline industry, whether from the system itself, or the judgment of the future, the advice to Chinese businessmen should not hold these industries for a long time, easy to be used, stimulate contradictions...... However, how many people can give up their rights and interests, and it is precisely because of these that they can retain their influence and wealth. )

In 1909, Kwok came to Johor Bahru, Malaysia, to set up the Dongsheng Company, which specialized in rice, soybeans and sugar.

In 1923, Guo Henian was born, in 1942 the Japanese occupation of Malaya, after the end of the war, Malay consumer goods were in short supply, the authorities strictly controlled the food supply, then as the grain commander Datu Weng and Guo Qinjian had a good relationship, the Guo family has now obtained the monopoly of procurement and sales, monopoly control of the entire Johor food, sugar business, including the local government, hospitals, the army's food supply rights, since then laid the foundation for the peak.

"So, you mean that we are now cooperating with the natives of these countries in Southeast Asia to take advantage of the local anti-Chinese sentiment to grab all the land, mines and other things in the hands of the Chinese?" Belloc Tony listened to this history and immediately thought he understood Sean's thoughts.

Sean squinted at Belloc Tonny, grabbed a bunch of grapes next to him and threw it away, and scolded angrily: "Rob, rob, rob, you know how to rob, you people who hate robbery the most, you have no technical content at all!"

"I, Sean, a serious businessman!"

Belloc Tonny: ???

Are you sure you're talking about me?
