Chapter 42 I want this land to be renamed Su
Zen State East Chin State, Mandalay City, Silap Airport.
Su Jie and his party, who arrived here after a transfer, just got off the plane when a heat wave swept over them.
Zen Country is located in the tropics, and even though it has entered autumn, the temperature is still quite high.
"This is Zen country!"
Su Jie looked around the airport. There were not many people at the airport, and some locals, both men and women, were dressed more simply.
Men mostly wear tube skirts and slippers, while women mostly wear colorful shawls and high, glossy buns.
When we walked out of the airport, we were immediately surrounded by many drivers soliciting customers.
Many people even recognized Su Jie and others as Chinese, and their language also changed to Chinese. Although the accent was a bit thick, they were generally understandable.
Because the Zen Kingdom borders the Chinese Kingdom, it has been culturally influenced since ancient times.
Many local people in Zen can speak and write Chinese. Even Hua Yuan can be used directly here, and it is very strong. It is much easier to use than Zen currency, which fluctuates severely in the local exchange rate.
"Arrange the staff to go to the hotel first, and Yingying and Lao Liang will accompany me to the company."
Everyone got in the car, started the vehicle, and drove towards the company on the outskirts of the city.
The driver was talkative and asked: "Are you going to Lamao District to do the timber business?"
"How can you tell?"
"Haha, there are a lot of timber merchants from China like you, and I have pulled them over many times."
The uncle driver laughed, and then reminded: "But when you are doing business, don't go to too remote places, just stay around the city, otherwise you may be in danger."
"Is the place chaotic?"
"It's very chaotic. We are too poor. We can't compare with you Chinese people. The per capita salary is only equivalent to four to five hundred Chinese dollars in your country. If you don't have money, you will resort to all kinds of crooked ways."
The driver's uncle's words made Liang Lianjun shake his legs frequently. Thinking of the various legends of opium cultivation, fraud farms, and kidney cutting in the Zen Kingdom, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
“Local officials did nothing?”
"They will just sit on it and collect benefits, so what can they do? Let's just say that the road now opened is full of potholes. It has not been repaired in many years, and all the money has been wasted."
After a few words of exchange, it was obvious that the driver was quite resentful.
At this time, the car passed a pass, where several soldiers holding AKs and wearing green military uniforms were stopping the car to collect fees.
"Don't talk for a while."
After giving a reminder, the driver stopped the car, took out a 500-yuan Zen coin and handed it to a soldier. He spoke a few words in the local language before being allowed to leave.
The vehicle restarted and drove away. Liang Lianjun asked curiously: "Who are those people and why are they still collecting money?"
"Our army here, the Man-Democratic United Army, charges vehicle operating fees for all vehicles, including motorcycles and bicycles."
The uncle driver smiled bitterly, fearing that Liang Lianjun would not understand, and added: "It's not the government's army, it's the local armed forces."
Liang Lianjun said speechlessly: "It's easy to set up cards and collect fees everywhere."
Liu Yingying explained: "The Zen Kingdom is very chaotic. They are a multi-ethnic country with more than a hundred ethnic groups, and then local warlords, large and small, have complex relationships with each other. They have always been in a semi-independent state, just like us. The separatist rule of vassal towns in the late Tang Dynasty ”
She had been to the Zen Kingdom once before and had some impressions of it. She knew that the country was very chaotic and divided.
While chatting, the car gradually left the city and came to a large, continuous warehouse area.
There are many logs placed here, some are placed outside in the open air, and some are piled in warehouses. Vehicles driving logs pass by on the road from time to time, and the smoke is billowing.
This is Lamau District, a timber storage and trading center.
The Zen Kingdom is a major timber exporting country, with annual timber exports reaching millions of tons. This is the pillar industry of the Zen Kingdom. There are countless timber trading centers like this in various places.
The car kept driving and finally stopped in front of a three-story building.
The small building has the signboard of Jin Dedi Company, and behind it is a row of warehouses.
This is the shell company that Liu Yingying originally registered in Zen Kingdom according to Su Jie's instructions.
There are not many employees in the small building, only six people, all of whom are locals. After seeing Liu Yingying, they all greeted her in slightly broken Chinese.
"This small building and the warehouses behind it have been purchased. The small building is used as an office, and the warehouse behind is used for wood storage and transportation."
Liu Yingying gave a brief introduction, and then said to Su Jie: "Now all the procedures have been completed, and I'm just waiting for your instructions."
"Nothing else, just come with me to get the goods." Su Jie smiled, and these words immediately cheered up Liang Lianjun next to him. He had been waiting for the logs promised by Su Jie for a long time.
……
the next day.
In a deserted area, Su Jie took out the ancient mirror and secretly returned to Tianyuan World. He found the logs he had cut down near the black market, and then transferred the ancient mirror to Blue Star for the convoy to take it away. Su Jie completed the whole process very well. Quickly, because he found that a disciple was following him again, he could only quickly enter the black market crowd to hide, and then enter the room to take the opportunity to get rid of the pursuers.
The number of logs was more than before. Su Jie had nothing to do in Tianyuan World, cutting and felling a lot.
When all these logs entered Jin Dedi's warehouse, Liang Lianjun almost cried with excitement.
"Small-leaf red sandalwood, golden nanmu, huanghuali, golden camphor"
Liang Lianjun clearly called out the types of logs in his mouth, and his fingers were trembling slightly while stroking the logs stacked in the warehouse.
Because the value of these logs alone is already as high as more than one billion. If they are made into furniture, the price will double.
"Mr. Su, when are we going to start shipping? With these logs, Tianyuan Furniture in China can become famous immediately."
Liang Lianjun's face turned red. Once these logs returned to the country, it was foreseeable that Tianyuan Home Furnishing would become popular.
Su Jie turned to Liu Yingying and said: "Yingying, ask Jin Dedi Company to contact the international air cargo company and transport all these logs back to China."
"Should we ship by air? The price is quite high."
"It doesn't matter, we don't have to pay the shipping fee, time is more important."
Generally speaking, logs are transported by sea and land, and the cost of air transportation is too high. But Su Jie's logs have no cost in the first place, and the freight cost of only tens of millions is nothing at all.
Liu Yingying nodded in agreement, turned around and went to make arrangements.
In the next few days, the entire Jindidi company was operating at full capacity.
Contact the international air transport company, declare to the Chinese customs, pre-sterilize, trim and split the logs, etc.
It wasn't until the logs were loaded onto five cargo planes and flown to China that the matter came to an end.
Liang Lianjun also returned to China and worked overtime to preside over the production and sales of furniture made of these precious woods.
Su Jie did not go back, but instead registered a new company locally called Jieke Biological Development Company.
"How much money does the company have on its account?"
In the boss's office, Su Jie asked his little secretary.
"There are 5.5 million Chinese dollars left."
Liu Yingying said without thinking.
Before that batch of wood was sold, this was all the working capital.
"A little less, but it's almost enough in the early stage."
Su Jie touched his chin and turned around.
On the wall behind, there is a map of Mandeb City and surrounding towns. Three different ethnic groups live in this area, with a population of about 700,000.
Mandeb City belongs to Eastern Chin State, which has a population of approximately 3.5 million.
"Let's start from here, Yingying, let the employees of Jieke Biotech go to the countryside to promote and launch the first set of plans. Jieke Company will purchase various poisonous insects in large quantities and buy them in unlimited quantities from the local people, so that they can All go into the mountains to catch insects.”
Liu Yingying nodded, then looked at Su Jie's back. She couldn't help but asked, "Su Jie, why are we doing this?"
She knew that Su Jie had an insect breeding farm under his name, but she didn't know why he came to Zen to open a new insect breeding company.
"Do you think I really just want to raise insects?"
"Isn't it?"
"That's just one aspect."
Su Jie chuckled lightly, picked up a pen, drew a circle on Mandecheng City, and said slowly: "Now is just the beginning. Next, I only do one thing, I want to make the Mandecheng area From now on, I will change my surname to Su and become my private kingdom.”
ah!
Liu Yingying's heart almost stopped, her bright eyes widened, and she didn't say anything for a long time because she didn't know whether to call Su Jie whimsical or too ambitious.
Su Jie did not look away, just waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about it, go down and do your work."
After Liu Yingying left, Su Jie touched the Thousand-Handed Centipede that emerged from his collar and murmured to himself: "Don't worry, very soon, this will be your paradise. It belongs to our Gu Insect Kingdom. Grand opening in this land ”
