If you cheat, money will follow

At the end of April, Chang Le arrived in Hongyan Autonomous Region with Zheng Peng and Jiang Zhenjun.

Along the way, their eyes were attracted by the rolling industrial plants.

These factories are like stars clustered together in an endless row.

The roads between factories crisscross like a spider web, and vehicles shuttle between them like flowing rivers.

The air is filled with a strong industrial atmosphere, which seems to tell the prosperity and vitality of this land.

"Were there dense forests and rugged mountains here before?" Chang Le asked curiously.

"That's right." Jiang Zhenjun pointed to the rolling hillsides in the distance and said, "When Hongyan Industry just started, this place was still desolate. But the development speed in the past two years is really amazing."

As he spoke, he gestured with the planned hillside with his hand, "Look, that area is about to be bulldozed. The land is indeed not enough."

"How many factories are there in this area?" Chang Le continued to ask.

"There are thousands of factories, large and small." Jiang Zhenjun replied, "Peng Deren and the others are really smart. They have completely adopted the domestic legal system and management system, so these companies can quickly adapt to the environment here. Moreover, there are More businesses are being registered.”

"What type of enterprises are these factories mainly?" Chang Le asked further.

"Mainly raw material processing industries, such as wood, plastics, rubber, food, metal, textiles, etc. In addition, there are also some mobile phone, electronic products and metal processing industries. These industries may have been gradually eliminated in China, but here they are It has new vitality," Jiang Zhenjun introduced in detail.

"The market for these products is mainly domestic?" Chang Le continued to ask.

"Not entirely." Jiang Zhenjun explained, "The domestic market accounts for half, and the other half is sold to India and other Southeast Asian countries. The sales volume is quite good."

He further introduced: "The pillar industries here are Hongyan FAW and Second Automobile Works. The vans and pickup trucks they produce are very popular, and many of them are sold to Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Bangladesh and other places. Some are even imported from India. "

Jiang Zhenjun said with a smile on his face: "Last year, the autonomous region's GDP output value exceeded 1000 billion, and the development speed is very fast. It is expected that it will not be a big problem if it exceeds 1300 billion this year."

He mentioned that Bagan’s annual GDP is 4600 billion.

"So, the basic issues of development have been solved." Chang Le nodded.

"It is true." Jiang Zhenjun said with a smile, "It has been very quiet along the railway line in the past year. They are all relying on the railway to load raw materials and commodities in the controlled area onto trains for transportation."

He paused and continued: "Now everyone is busy making money, who still has the time to fight and kill?"

Zheng Peng also laughed when he heard this: "So the older generation is right - development is the key to solving all problems! As long as the economy develops, many contradictions will be solved automatically!"

"Peng Deren and others regard the autonomous region as a key transit point." Jiang Zhenjun explained, "Raw materials are transferred from here to the north, while the finished products are transported south from the country, covering the entire region."

Chang Le nodded in agreement: "The potential of this market cannot be underestimated. If we can firmly grasp and consolidate this market, it will form a useful supplement to the domestic industry."

Jiang Zhenjun echoed: "Yes, I have told them to strictly control the situation and clarify the direction of development."

As the vehicle slowly drove into the city, Chang Le and Jiang Xia felt an atmosphere similar to that in domestic cities.

There are endless high-rise buildings, like undulating mountains.

On the wide road, there is a constant flow of cars, SUVs, buses, pickup trucks, vans, trucks and other vehicles.

On both sides of the road, there are shops, restaurants, supermarkets, cafes, Internet cafes, etc., and there is an endless stream of pedestrians.

Chang Le asked with a smile: "Is this any different from cities in China?"

Jiang Zhenjun also responded with a smile: "More than 90% of our compatriots here are now. The domestic competition pressure is strong, the industrial level and technical threshold are high, and only here can they find their own development space."

The group arrived at the Hongyan City Hall.

Ma Ruilin, Zhao Shanhe, Peng Deren and officials from the autonomous region were already waiting at the gate.

Peng Deren complained a little: "If you had listened to me and arranged for a lane to be opened, there would be no need to be stuck in traffic here now."

Marilin said with a smile: "You are wrong to say that. Our boss never cares about pomp and circumstance. He believes that traffic jams just indicate the prosperity of development. He will be happier when he sees this kind of scene."

Peng Deren felt a little surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

Marilin said affirmatively: "Of course. In addition, I would like to remind you that economic development is important, but if internal management cannot keep up, problems can easily arise."

Peng Deren asked alertly: "Mr. Ma, are you talking about the FB problem?"

Marilin nodded: "Our employees have discovered some bad phenomena in their daily lives. I suggest that you rectify it as soon as possible. Otherwise, if this great situation is messed up by your own people, the gain will outweigh the loss."

Peng Deren frowned after hearing this: "Is the situation already so serious? I thought it was just an occasional unspoken behavior."

Marilin said seriously: "The hidden rules themselves may not be serious, but if they are not controlled, they will soon evolve into corruption. This is not just my personal suggestion, but also related to your long-term development."

Peng Deren was convinced: "You are right, Mr. Ma. This problem may seem small, but in fact it has far-reaching consequences. If it is not controlled in time, it may shake our foundation."

He turned to Yang Dejun beside him and said, "Xiaojun, you have to take personal responsibility for this problem. If our autonomous region wants to achieve greater development, we must solve this problem in time."

He emphasized: "Our autonomous region should be different from other civil wars and cannot allow itself to degenerate too quickly. For those involved in the case, no matter how high their level, how great their credit, how wide their involvement, we must We will get to the bottom of it and we will never tolerate it.”

Yang Dejun nodded solemnly: "Okay, I will handle this matter personally."

At this time, Marilin pointed to the approaching vehicles in the distance and said, "Look, they are coming."

A white Lecheng car drove slowly and stopped at the entrance of Hongyan City Hall.

Everyone immediately came forward to greet him.

In the South Asian subcontinent, a discussion about national strategy is going on intensely.

"Mr. Prime Minister," a senior official reported eagerly, "Kyaukphyu is about to be put into operation, but the construction of our Sittwe port has stalled. This undoubtedly poses a major threat to our eastward strategy."

Another official added: "We must take action to make our presence known and expand our influence. We need to let the world know that we, not other countries, are the real masters of this continent."

After thinking for a moment, the old immortal asked: "Do you have any specific suggestions?"

"We should unswervingly advance the eastward strategy..." an official expressed his opinion.

The Eastward Strategy is a comprehensive layout covering economy, trade, transportation, infrastructure and geographical influence.

With Bagan as an important fulcrum, it aims to penetrate into Indochina and Southeast Asia, thereby building an economic, trade and transportation corridor surrounding the Bay of Bengal and Southeast Asia.

Another official then suggested: “To ensure the implementation of the strategy, we should increase financial investment, especially to accelerate the construction of Sittwe Port to weaken the influence of Kyaukpyu Port.”

"Before the completion of the Sittwe Port," another official emphasized, "military exercises are a crucial part. We must use the exercises to show the world that the South Asian subcontinent and Indochina are our sphere of influence and will never tolerate any external forces. No matter which country or institution you are, don’t try to dictate here.”

"If there is an invasion, we will use aircraft carriers, warships and even intercontinental missiles to fight back."

"Even if the port construction is completed," he added, "whether it can operate smoothly depends on our attitude. This is our bottom line and purpose."

Lao Xian was convinced and said: "Without our permission, no ship can easily enter the Bay of Bengal. Here, we are the makers of the rules!"
