Chapter 557: The Japanese Appeared

Su Nuo sat in Li Mai's car, she and Zhang Dongyue sat in the back seat, Li Mai and Tang Zheng took turns acting as drivers in front, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, the survey convoy composed of two cars set off.

Thanks to the good loading capacity of the Land 5700 off-road vehicle, the capacity of the trunk reached more than 600 liters after being placed in the third row, and the two vehicles loaded the camping equipment for seven people and various instruments needed for the survey. Of course, this is also due to the extremely high finishing ability of several soldiers.

The Land 5700 seems to be more powerful and more comfortable to sit on. This is because a certain weight makes the suspension of the non-load-bearing body Land 5700 much softer than that of light load, and it is naturally more comfortable to sit.

Out of Chumphon City, the road conditions become not so good, and the strong power and excellent ability of the land 5700 are slowly reflected. In Li Mai's imagination, if it is a long journey of more than 500 kilometers, he thinks that an off-road vehicle is more suitable than a sedan.

First of all, it is more comfortable to sit in than a low car, and secondly, there is no need to worry about road conditions, and the last one is that relatively speaking, off-road vehicles are more durable than sedans.

The modified Land 5700 with dual fuel tanks does not have to worry about endurance at all, and along Highway 4006 from Chumphon to the beach in Ranong Province, and back again, there is still half of the fuel left.

Route 4006 is much worse than Route 4, with fewer lanes and bumpy roads as you go deeper, but overall, it's okay.

In fact, Li Mai did not stay in Thailand, of course, the missions he carried out in the Mekong River Valley when he was in the army are not among them, and the life in those tropical jungles is completely unreferential to modern people.

Therefore, he was somewhat surprised that Thailand's infrastructure was so poor. In his imagination, Thailand is not a rich country, but it is not like this. Road traffic construction has always been the first consideration of governments, and the principle of road access and financial connectivity can be applied everywhere.

But it's understandable to think of the turmoil in Thai politics every once in a while.

Li Mai thought about China, where infrastructure construction in full swing has lasted for more than 30 years, especially the construction of transportation networks. In his impression, he can see the construction site when he goes out, either a real estate construction site or a road construction site. And many times the highway is closed or congested, either because a new highway is being built or an old highway is being renovated.

The previous investment of tens of thousands of yuan in infrastructure construction was spent, which led to economic development, stabilized the situation, and allowed the regime to change smoothly. How effective it actually is, it is well known. As for the current Belt and Road Initiative, forget it, I'm afraid, I don't dare to go off-topic.

All in all, what Li Mai sees is that so many countries around the world are almost either stagnant or regressing, especially in Europe, where there are some dilapidated buildings and old infrastructure, which is ridiculously imagined by some Chinese as "you see how strong and man-made things in Europe can still be used for so long."

These people will not understand a simple truth: if there is money to make a new one, who would want to use the old one?

They don't understand at all how deep envy, jealousy, and hatred are in the hearts of Europeans, Americans, and Russians, every time they see on the news that China has invested tens of billions of dollars to build roads, airports, subways, and so on.

Look at the London subway, look at the Russian subway, and then look back at our subway in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, which are simply the products of two eras.

China's two major problems are that there is too much money, and second, there is not enough money.

Su Nuo's words pulled Li Mai's thoughts back, and she said with emotion: "I have been to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Kunming, Nanning, Shanghai, Wuhan...... Been to a lot of cities. Mr. Li, before I went to Nangang to study, my friends or others portrayed China as a rich country but very poor in many ways. It wasn't until I got to Nangang that I saw the world's most advanced red international airport. Taking a taxi from the airport all the way to the city, I felt as if I had entered another world. ”

Smiling and seeing that everyone was listening to her, she said, "At that time, I realized that compared to China, Thailand is like a country that is stored in heaven and the other is close to hell. ”

Zhang Dongyue said with a smile: "Your country is not as unbearable as you say, but it is actually quite good." ”

Shaking his head and smiling, Su Nuo said, "I studied tour guide in Nangang, and after graduation, I worked in an international travel agency. I have led delegations to many countries. What I feel about China is that the biggest difference between China and other countries is that you can feel vitality everywhere in China. That's a feeling that you can't experience in other countries. ”

Li Mai looked in the rearview mirror, smiled slightly, and said, "China is the world's largest economy, and its energy has just begun to burst out. Xiao Su, I can assure you that what you are seeing now is just the beginning. ”

Su Nuo nodded sympathetically and said, "I believe it." To tell you the truth, when I heard that a private company was going to dig the Kra Canal, I felt that there are too many powerful companies in China. ”

As soon as these words came out, including Li Mai, Tang Zheng in the co-pilot and Zhang Dongyue in the back row, their faces changed. Li Mai quickly recovered and asked casually, "Xiao Su, how do you know that we are here to dig the canal?"

Su Nuo didn't know that the news that FKY was coming to dig the Kra Canal was strictly controlled within the company. Even in Thailand, there was no official announcement. This means that someone has leaked the news.

Su Nuo didn't know this, she said, "A friend of mine in Nangang, he mentioned it on the phone last time we talked. When I signed the contract just now, I found out that you are FKY. ”

"Oh, your alumni when you studied abroad at Haida?" Li Mai thought thoughtfully.

"Yes. "He now works for an investment company in Nangang, and he comes to me as a tour guide every time he comes to Thailand." He said that his company was also working on the Kra Canal project recently, and he talked about it. I feel honored to be your guide. ”

Tang Zheng and Zhang Dongyue's faces turned back, but they didn't dare to speak more, and secretly listened to Li Maitao Sunuo's words.

Li Mai thought for a moment and casually asked, "Your friend is Japanese, right? What is the name of the investment company he works for?"

Su Nuo looked at Li Mai in surprise, nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Li, how do you know." His company...... Hard Bank Ventures. I looked up this company on the Internet before, and it turned out to be a world-famous venture capital firm. ”

At this time, Su Nuo noticed that the other people's faces were a little strange, she suddenly came to her senses, and said cautiously, "Uh, so you are opponents?"

Li Mai and the three of them looked at Su Nuo almost at the same time, smiled, and did not speak. At this time, all three of them understood in their hearts - Japanese, Japanese companies.

Zhang Dongyue smiled and said, "It's nothing." The hard bank company is quite strong, but it is not enough to challenge us. ”

Su Nuo nodded as if he didn't understand. Everyone can also see at this time that this girl is very talkative, but she is also a little simple.

Li Mai tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, and said something that made Su Nuo feel inexplicable: "This is interesting......
