Chapter 486
"Qian, there is no doubt about it, are you going to ask for a Thai meal?" said to Watson in a brisk tone to Huo Dongjun.
Huo Dongjun nodded: "No one wants to live in that ghost place in Thailand, but what I want is that Thai Chinese have TV programs suitable for them, you know, now Thailand has 11% of the total population of Chinese American, I want Thai national television to cooperate with my TV station, I want Thai TV to package and buy programs produced by my company, so that Thai people rely on it, if possible, maybe in the future, I will cooperate with SIAM cinemas in Thailand to provide more appetizing movies for the Chinese here." β
"I don't think you can be impressed by your little benefit, Chachai-Chun Hawang gave you such a big profit. After listening to Huo Dongjun's words, Xiang Watson said: "Although it is not an exaggeration, but your appearance is still a little ugly, and I guess that Chun Hawang should not agree to you." β
"There's nothing that can't be discussed, it's nothing more than interests, what's more, what does the Xie family want to do? What you said, the head of the Xie family wants his people to govern Thailand, and the most important thing to do is not to stand with the military, everyone can sit together to enjoy this big meal. Huo Dongjun winked at Watson.
Xiang Watson smiled dumbly, and only said to Huo Dongjun after a few seconds: "Indeed, I recently set up a construction company, there are several projects to choose from, but I am not very interested, the most interested project is said to have been given to one of his scheduled cabinet ministers, the ancient building repair project of Ayutthaya, I am very interested, but this project can not be obtained by the military, so, I will help you contact the Xie family, and you can complete this project." β
"You have a bigger appetite than me, at least I still want to cooperate with Thai TV, you are now ready to blatantly scrape the money of the Thai government, who will show you this way of wealth?" Huo Dongjun took a breath of cold air after listening to Xiang Watson's words.
Ayutthaya is the capital city of Ayutthaya Province in Thailand, although it is said to be a city, but in fact it is pitifully small, only 15 square kilometers in size, and the permanent population is only more than 30,000 people, compared to some prosperous towns in China, but this small city is famous in Thailand, for more than 400 years, has been the capital of Siam, the most prosperous, was one of the largest cities on the earth, with a population of more than one million, the most prosperous place in Thailand.
However, in 1767, the Burmese army invaded Thailand, Ayutthaya was reduced to ruins in the war, only the remnants of the wall remained, if it was just an ordinary prosperous city burned to the ground, then the Thai people may not mourn and wail, mainly as the national capital for more than 400 years, so that this small city has more than 500 Buddhist temples and palaces, these magnificent and magnificent ancient buildings, with the destruction of the Burmese and become ruins.
This makes the Thai people who believe in Buddhism and Brahmanism unbearable, Ayutthaya is the Buddha capital in their hearts, so since the seventies, there have been parliamentarians who have proposed to repair the ruins of Ayutthaya's ancient Buddhist temples and restore the glory of Ayutthaya, and this proposal has been responded to by the people, but the political situation in those years was unstable, and the replacement of the Thai prime minister was faster than going to the public toiletγ
In the 80s, although Bing-Yansu Ranong was in power by the military, the social order was stable, and the political parties were not completely eliminated, and this time there was an immediate democratic election, so some people in the society put forward a proposal to repair the ancient buildings of the Ayutthaya Buddhist Temple.
For the Thai people, this is a matter of faith, but, in the eyes of Xiang Watson, this is a big piece of fat, winning this long-term repair project, is equivalent to being able to continue to take out money from the Thai government, and it is legal and bright to go, as for how long this project will be repaired, Xiang Watson will naturally use various benefits to satisfy those experts, let them give a long deadline.
"It's not that exaggerated, after taking it, most of the money will be divided among some partners, I only make a little bit myself, and it depends on the situation in Thailand, in case this poor guess can only stay for a year and a half, and the military has a new dictator, then it will hit the streets, and it is likely that I will not even be able to recover the capital invested." Said to Watson.
"You can't see clearly? Guess at least two years to be safe and stable, two years, this big project you get a few hundred million baht is as easy as picking up money, even if you only win 300 million baht in two years, 300 million baht, converted into more than 77 million Hong Kong dollars, throw 40 million to fight those so-called partners, you can yourself into the pocket of more than 30 million, the most important thing is that in two years, you can even do a little bit of engineering, so that those experts can support me under the pretext that the survey has not yet been completed. Huo Dongjun looked at Xiang Watson, with an expression that you can't hide from me.
Xiang Watson cut a piece of medium-rare beef tenderloin, and replied noncommittally: "It takes two years to earn such a little, a lot? Those sons-in-law and daughters of the Xie family have more pocket money than these in a year." β
"You just said that my incident is not good, you will not nod your head in this matter, so this is the reason why we are sitting here to eat, I have nothing but a military background, no big donor, no backer, he has to be controlled by Bing-Yansu Lanuan, and what about the Xie family, the second largest Chinese family in Thailand, with a lot of money and a lot of power, Chen Bichen has no intention of ruling by himself, Xie Guomin will naturally have this idea, it is rare to have a democratic election this time, for the Xie family, this is a good opportunity for people to enter the political arena, hit it off? I now have the opportunity to lobby Chachai, you go to see Xie Guomin, if you are interested, then take what you need, Chachai gets strong support, Xie Guomin arranges people to enter Chachai's cabinet, you and I are two small roles, share some small benefits, and we are all happy. Huo Dongjun poured himself a glass of wine and said to Xiang Watson.
"Well, that's all. Xiang Watson nodded and swallowed the steak in his mouth: "I think so too, but it's hard to guess what those big guys think, in case they hit it off and kick us away, it's rare that we can bite?"
"I only know after trying it, I see the move, but Xie Guomin shouldn't be. Huo Dongjun took a sip of wine and said: "Even if they want to kick us out, we really can't bite them, but it's okay to make them restless, and they won't drive us away because of this, after all, it's not to share their money." β
"Are you staring at Siam Cinema in Thailand, don't you still want to make movies?" Xiang Watson picked up his wine glass and drank Huo Dongjun touched it and asked casually.
Huo Dongjun shook his head: "No, just keep it for backup." β
