America's Big Hero

"It's okay." Sean shook his head and said, "You can also sell them a training later, and find Bill. We have absorbed some Colombian special forces in South America, the best jungle warfare in the world, rainforest warfare expert troops, both sides It’s interesting to take turns to improve combat effectiveness.”

"Good idea!" Neil's smile gradually changed

……

After confirming that Sean had rested well, Belloc Tony came to the door, and he didn't forget to bring a gift.

Of course, Sean didn't care if he brought gifts, he would only remember those who didn't!

Lying on the beach chair, drinking fruit juice, Sean listened to Belloc Tony talk about the situation of the agricultural product market in Southeast Asia, the difficulties encountered at present, and the problems that Sean needed to solve.

"Take Thailand as an example. At present, Thailand's agricultural population accounts for 30%. Agriculture is also Thailand's most important export product and the main source of foreign exchange. Exports are mainly rice, cassava, palm oil, rubber, sugar cane, etc., all of which are in the business of ADM within the range."

"You still want to eat it all!" Sean pulled down his sunglasses a little bit, squinting at Belloc Tony.

"It's better to eat it all." Belloc Towne said something of course, but then shrugged, "But the problem is that our acquisition encountered resistance, to be precise, it was delayed, and it felt a bit like non-violent non-cooperation .”

"Don't even think about it!" Sean directly sentenced Belloc Tony's idea to death. "It's very difficult for you to acquire land in Southeast Asia. Even if you do, it's only a little bit, and it doesn't have any effect."

"Why?" Belloc Tony looked puzzled.

"The United States, Australia, South America, and Southeast Asia used to be European colonies. If you arrange the discovery time, Southeast Asia is the earliest. Very early, merchants from the Mediterranean region arrived in Southeast Asia, and then the United States, South America, and Australia. " Sean thought for a while and said, "But now we can look back and find a problem."

"What?" Belloc Tony looked curious, not understanding how Sean could drag it back hundreds of years ago.

"In the Americas that were discovered later, the aborigines were basically killed, and there were not many aborigines left in South America. They were all mixed blood. The same was true in Australia, but the aborigines in Southeast Asia, which was first discovered, have remained intact."

Belloc Towne nodded. That is indeed the case. It is also a colonization. Europeans have completely occupied North and South America and have absolute influence in Africa, but not in Southeast Asia, not at all.

"Because the aborigines here are not closed. When Europeans began to colonize Southeast Asia, they found that the level of civilization here is not behind that of Europe. Compared with cavalry, they have seen the Mongols, compared with the fleet, they have seen Ming Dynasty, compared with firearms , In the 16th century, everyone was on the same level.”

"The reason for this situation is that they were deeply influenced by the ancient empire to the east for more than 1000 years."

"So, what do you want to express?" Belloc Tony was still confused.

"Culture!" Sean raised his hand and snapped his fingers. "The obsession with owning land, this culture affects every Southeast Asian, so it's hard for you to get land ownership from them like 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."

"Then what should we do?" Belloc Tony frowned.

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

"Divide and draw together." Sean gave the answer.

"Can you elaborate a bit more, dear Mr. Sean?" Belloc Tony couldn't understand at all.

"To be more specific, let's start with history. It's a long story."

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

"Well, when it comes to dividing and wooing, we must first understand that in Southeast Asia, we can simply distinguish between two groups, the aborigines and the Chinese, and they are the ones we need to divide and woo!" Sean narrowed his eyes and said in a playful tone : "If you take out the rich list over the years, you will find that most of the rich lists in Southeast Asian countries, except Annan, are Chinese, 80% are Chinese."

(Annan is because after the Vietnam War, in 1977, the government confiscated the assets of the Chinese, forcibly drove them out of the country, and forced every 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 while, "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 a certain extent, replicas of the Jews!" Sean had a strange smile on his lips.

"Countries in Southeast Asia will set off an anti-China movement every few years. The earliest is the Hongxi tragedy in 1740, just like Europe began to collectively fight against oil every few years."

"Youtai people do not have their own country. Although the Chinese have a prosperous city in Southeast Asia, they have only been independent for 24 years, which is insignificant in the 400-year colonial history. Moreover, they cannot What kind of help is provided to the Chinese, and they are heavily influenced by the United Kingdom politically, and they can’t provide much help, at most it is a safe haven for funds.”

"In those years in Europe, the richest people were Yau Tai people, not nobles from various European countries, just like in Southeast Asia now, the richest people are all Chinese."

"However, in those years in Europe, back and forth, the rich are still those oily people, just like the Chinese in Southeast Asia today."

"So, does it look like it?" Sean smiled and looked at Belloc Tony, "They are all foreign nationalities, they don't have their own country, they are mainly engaged in business, they are the richest people, and they all have their own language. , their own culture, their own inheritance, will not be assimilated by the locals, and will be periodically opposed."

Belloc Tony had a ghostly expression on his face, "It's really similar!"

"Yeah, if we dig deeper, we will find that every time we oppose China or oil, those who are killed are those in the middle and lower levels, while the rich, luxurious and oily people at the top are still alive and well."

"The reason for this situation is that the roles played by the Chinese in Southeast Asia and the people in Yau Tai are almost the same."

Xiao En continued with a smile: "They made their fortunes in the first place because they were the white gloves of the local dignitaries."

"Because the Youtai people have no country, nor the concept of a country, they are pure businessmen. Crazy to extract the maximum profit, the oil Tai people use the protection and privileges given by the rich and powerful to amass wealth several times crazily."

"But after social conflicts have accumulated to a certain extent, the country will transfer the contradictions to the oily people for a harvest, and redistribute the wealth of these oily people while alleviating the contradictions."

"As for those real top-notch people, they have already used their connections to get information in advance and ran away, or they were simply protected by local dignitaries, and when social conflicts became a thing of the past, they continued to jump out and do repetitive tasks."

"So, the Youtai people are still the Youtai people, and they are still the richest group. Of course, the United States later appeared, giving the Youtai people a new piece of soil, and they will never lose their tail."

"Of course, the Youtai people will not be so scary after having a country."

"The situation in Southeast Asia is similar. The only difference is that the dignitaries served by the Chinese have never been natives of Southeast Asia, at least not before World War II."

"In the early days, the Chinese relied on the Eastern Empire. Although they were not superior to others, they were almost the same. After the decline of the East and the arrival of the European colonists, in order to manage the natives better and more economically, and extract the maximum profit from the colonies, they discovered the local The Chinese are very similar to the oily people in Europe, so they adopted the old method to give the Chinese in Southeast Asia the greatest privileges and become the high-level management of the local people in the colonial government."

"Manage mines, manage plantations, manage ports, manage factories, and have various special management rights, including contracting a village, a tribe, or the taxation of a city."

"The Chinese took advantage of this privilege to obtain a lot of wealth, and the colonists also directed the hatred of the locals to the Chinese. When the contradictions accumulated to a certain extent, an anti-China incident was set off, and then everything returned to the original point."

"Back and forth, the real pitiful ones are the ordinary Chinese and Taiwanese, and the richest people at the top... are even more pitiful!" Sean said categorically, as a capitalist, he must end up in his own class!

"This is history." Sean picked up the juice and took a sip and continued: "Of course, there are essential differences between the Chinese in Southeast Asia and the Tai people in Southeast Asia. The reason for keeping the most wealth."

"First, unlike the Yautai people who like to wander, the Chinese don't like to wander, but prefer to be rooted in one place. The Chinese like the land and like to engage in the real economy, which is engraved in their bones and in their genes."

"The same is to take advantage of the privileges given by the powerful. For the convenience of traveling, the oil people prefer to engage in finance and equity rather than real industries that cannot be taken away. However, the Chinese have used the privileges granted by the European colonists to obtain too many mines, The ownership of land such as plantations, ports, etc., made it possible for the Chinese to retain their wealth legally after they got rid of the colonists.”

"Secondly, the Youtai people really don't have a country, but the Chinese don't. Behind them is the suzerain country that the Southeast Asian countries have surrendered for 2000 years. This makes the countries in the Southeast Asian region dare not really take up the butcher's knife and forcibly snatch the Chinese away after they become independent. Those legally owned fixed assets such as mines, land, ports, factories, etc., and even some franchise rights established in the past are still in hand.”

"This is the benefit 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. There is a feeling of compatriots belonging to the same family, and there are also great interests. It is difficult for pure feelings to be so large-scale and so long regardless of the cost. support."

(PS: It is inconvenient to list some information. In the early years, Southeast Asian countries had a lot of communication with great men, hoping to get back those economic lifeline industries related to privileges and people's livelihood. Whether it is from the system itself or the judgment of the future in China, The advice given to Chinese businessmen is that they should not hold these industries for a long time, as they are easy to be used by others and cause conflicts... But how many people can give up their rights and interests, and it is precisely because of these that they can maintain influence and wealth. )

Take the Guo family as an example. In 1909, Guo Qinren came to Johor Bahru, Malaysia, and founded Dongsheng Company, which specialized in rice, soybeans and sugar.

Guo Henian was born in 1923. After the Japanese occupation of Malaya in 1942, Malay consumer goods were scarce after the war. The authorities strictly controlled the food supply. Datu Ong, who was the food control officer at the time, had an intimate relationship with Guo Qinjian. Obtained the exclusive right to purchase and sell, monopolized and controlled the food and sugar business in the entire state of Johor, including the food supply rights of the local government, hospitals, and the army, and laid the foundation for reaching the peak.

"So, what you mean is that we are now cooperating with the natives of these countries in Southeast Asia, taking advantage of the local anti-Chinese sentiment to snatch all the land and mines from the Chinese?" Belloc Tony immediately heard this history. I thought I understood Sean's thoughts.

Sean squinted at Belloc Tony, grabbed a bunch of grapes next to him and threw it over, cursing angrily: "Grab, rob, rob, you know how to rob, I hate you robbing the most, a little technology There is no content!"

"I, Sean, a serious businessman!"

Belloc Towne: ? ? ?

Are you sure it's me?

Chapter 422: Public Opinion Offensive

Belloc Tony was not angry after being scolded by Sean.

All educated people are worthy of respect!

Don't care what this knowledge is, whether it is crooked or not.

Regardless of black knowledge or white knowledge, knowledge that can be turned into money is good knowledge!

"Why can't we unite with those local aborigines to expel the Chinese, so that we can immediately get the privileges and industries in the hands of those Chinese?" Belloc Tony asked very modestly: "You also said that those local aborigines I hate Chinese people."

"Idiot, let me ask you, whose mines, plantations, land, and ports should belong to?" Sean glanced at Belloc Tony with contempt.

"Uh, Chinese." Belloc Tony spread his hands.

Sean was taken aback, then blinked, "Shouldn't it be native?"

"Of course not!" Belloc Tony also looked at Sean with a puzzled expression, "Why do you think so, he is an aborigine, he has been living here, but they have lived for thousands of years and have not opened up Out of mines and plantations, without the Chinese, they will still not be able to develop them in thousands of years!"

"How could it be theirs!"

"If we talk about resources, then God gives everyone living in the world, not a specific person. God is fair, so naturally whoever develops Ali belongs to him!"

Sean was really stunned at this moment, raised his hand and scratched his head, and it took a long time to understand Belloc Tony's theory.

Immediately, he looked at Belloc Tony with contempt, "What bullshit theory, according to what you mean, I developed an oil field in Africa, so the oil field should belong to me, anyway, those old black farts don't understand, text None of them fucking!"

"Yes!" Belloc Tony grinned. This is called the colonizer theory.

It is based on this theory that colonization becomes reasonable, legal and compliant, it becomes a just act, and it conforms to the teachings!

Of course, if it is in your own land, it has been since ancient times!

Theory or something, just look at everyone's needs.

"However, I like it!" Sean suddenly laughed.

After laughing for a while, Sean said, "But just because I like it, it doesn't mean the locals like it, idiot!"

"They think that their ancestors lived here for generations. Those lands, those mines, and all the benefits should belong to them. Although you snatched it from the Chinese and helped them expel their most hated people, but, It's useless, they will still hate you!"

"Because what they hate has always been the people who occupy those interests!"

"So..." Sean narrowed his eyes, with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, "Not only should we not expel those Chinese, but instead, we should win them over, help them, replace the original colonists, and be their backer."

"I, Sean, have tens of thousands of U.S. troops, a guided missile destroyer fleet, backed by the U.S. government, am I not qualified to be their backer?"

"Back to the colonial era!?" Belloc Tony really understood Sean's intentions this time, "But they have the East behind them, and will they be willing to rely on us? The East will not intervene? It will be difficult for us to control them, right?"

"Wrong!" Sean stretched out a finger and waved it. "Many people think like you, but that's because you don't understand the east and their culture."

"Do you know what it means to 'sit hard and taste your courage' and what it means to 'get a share of the pie'?"

Sean explained to Belloc Tony the story of the Yue King Goujian more than 2400 years ago, from Goujian killing Helu to being defeated by Fucha, kneeling down and submitting, offering his son and wife, living in a stable, going in and out to eat gall, The story of the ultimate counterattack.

Then I talked about the allusion that Liu Bang took a share of my pie.

Xiao En pointed at his feet with a smile, and said, "Now the east side is trying their best and failing to achieve their goals. This is one of the prices that can be paid. No matter how you provoke them at this time, they will not jump out."

"So, no matter how the local aborigines in Southeast Asia bully those Chinese, they don't care about it. If they don't say they want to take a share of the pie, that's a show of responsibility."

"When you say that, it means that the east is now pretending, and one day it will jump out to challenge the United States. At that time, it will be strong enough to exist on an equal footing with us!" Belloc Tony was shocked.

"Aren't you talking nonsense!" Sean rolled his eyes, "Have we openly opposed the British? Have we opposed the French? No! For so many years, the United States has publicly boycotted and opposed countries, except for the old man, it is the east."

"What does this mean?"

"It means that they may threaten us in the future!" Belloc Tony said with a serious face.

"In this world, there are only three countries that have the foundation of great powers, and that is the United States, Russia, and China. Except for Dongfang and Lao Maozi, the upper limit of other countries is too low, and they do not pose any threat at all, so they are not worthy of our attention."

"Of course, that will be decades later. It doesn't matter whether you live or not. This is not a national issue that we should consider at all." Xiao En shook his head with a smile, "We still need to think about how to grasp the present situation." opportunity!"

"Well, you are right!" Belloc Tony also relaxed, shrugged and said: "Seize the present, live in the moment, this is America!"

"So, let's win over those Chinese!"

"Basically, we don't need to jump out and confront the local aborigines." Sean said with a smile: "Some shipping companies and terminal management companies can help the Chinese in terms of transportation. Of course, it can also be a restriction."

"With ADM's sales network, it can help them in terms of channels. Of course, it can also be restricted."

"Keep them firmly in our hands. On the surface, we don't need to have any economic conflicts with the locals, and put ourselves in the perspective of a third party, so that we won't attract the hatred of the local aborigines."

"When the local aborigines' hatred of the Chinese has accumulated to a certain level, and they start to use political and legal means to restrict the Chinese, we can stand up and ask what is democracy, what is freedom, what is human rights, and what is equality!" Sean squinted at Belloc Towne, "I think, as an American, you should be familiar with these things!"

Belloc Towne laughed out loud. When the United States intervenes in the internal affairs of other countries, it has always played these banners.

"No, this is not interference in internal affairs!" Xiao En shook his head firmly, "This is when injustice and injustice happen, and out of the spirit of international humanitarianism, it is to help those who are persecuted within their capabilities. A sense of responsibility and a sense of mission that a big country should have!"

Belloc Towne raised his hands and clapped. Wearing a cloak of justice, no one can find the slightest fault. He has the inner taste of a politician!

Sean's face was still serious, unprecedented.

According to a series of laws issued by Southeast Asian countries, especially Malay and Indonesia in the future, in any industry, 30% of the employees must be local aboriginals, and 30% of the shareholders in each industry must belong to local aboriginals, accounting for the proportion of the entire industry. Local Aboriginal people should exceed 50%.

Local aborigines have various preferential tax policies, legal treatment and so on.

All policies and regulations are aimed at local Chinese, which is unfair!

It is bullying the Chinese. Shouldn't this be stood up and resisted?

If any country dares to bully Americans like this, see if the U.S. government will explode and let him understand who the f*ck is the boss of the world!

Not to mention the United States, Da Ying, the French, and Russia will not let it go!

The only thing I can't see is...

Ahem, is it true that overseas Chinese are often at odds with you, donating money and goods when you invite disasters, and keeping silent when they are wronged.

No, maybe protested... Of course, this is from the standpoint of Chinese Americans.

Objective reasons, lack of strength, and being hostile by the whole world, the United States' voice is international humanitarian care, and the east's voice is interference in the internal affairs of other countries.
