Under the sun, the ancient and quiet Lao imperial city of Luang Prabang was covered with light. Among the red flowers and green trees, the towering stupa spire flashed. There were not many vehicles on the streets, leisurely and contented. The people walking calmly all had a look of peace and satisfaction on their faces.

Separated from the old city, it is a new city area that integrates Eastern and Western architectural styles.

Since the beginning of the planning and design, a large number of towering ancient trees, rare plant species and unique yellow green bamboos were deliberately preserved. After the new district was completed, the environmental construction of the entire area was strengthened. Therefore, looking around, there was vitality everywhere and a vigorous vitality.

This complex with reasonable layout, elegant environment, and style and elegant style is so large that it almost reaches one-third of the old city, and it integrates with the old city separated by a river and complements each other.

Here is the famous Asian Brothers Pharmaceutical Company.

After nearly two years of rapid development, the pharmaceutical company has become the largest, fastest-growing and best-in-social star enterprise in Laos, absorbing more than 4,600 people, and has built two full-time schools for the local area free of charge. It has built a bilingual school for Laos and Chinese language education in the factory and dormitory area, and a fully boarded martial arts school, which can accept the children of our employees and Chinese children to school for free.

Since the second phase of the second phase of the project was completed and put into production in the second half of last year, the pharmaceutical company covering an area of ​​more than 10,000 acres has ushered in another leap in development: the first quarter of 2001, which has just been publicly released, showed that the total sales in the first quarter was US$85 million and the profit was US$21 million.

To thank the Lao government for its support and care for enterprises, Xu Jiawei, president of Pharmaceutical Company, held a cocktail party and publicly announced:

One million US dollars was donated to the Luang Prabang Municipal Government for the renovation of the old city and drainage engineering; another $500,000 was donated to the Lao National Education Commission to support the education cause of the Lao government.

This move once again caused shock in the entire Laos government and the country. This was a charity act of pharmaceutical companies to establish a joint venture Friendship Hospital, build two schools free of charge, and donate 300,000 US dollars to the Lao Red Cross to popularize medical treatment. Another big deal that has attracted the hearts of the people has attracted praise from all over Laos. Xu Jiawei himself was once again awarded the National Special Contribution Medal specially issued by the Lao government.

Over the past week, after continuous investigation and visits, Corning quickly became familiar with the company's business and sincerely praised the company's achievements in such a huge amount in a short period of time.

At this time, Kang Ning, Xu Jiawei and Chen Pu were bathing in the afterglow of the sunset, strolling on the riverside, and occasionally communicating with the company's current business.

In an elegant and quiet environment, Corning felt very comfortable and calm. He was radiant to his tall and fat around him. Xu Jiawei smiled and said, "Brother Xu, I don't know about financial problems, but your performance announced to the public has severely shrunk. Are you not worried about leaving any future troubles?"

Xu Jiawei laughed and waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, there is no need to worry about this. Our financial personnel handled it very strictly and cleverly. Even if we asked the Hong Kong PwC to investigate, we would have no way to do it. Our current business has already spread throughout Southeast Asia, and most of the profits are concentrated in our circulation links throughout the country. There are not many things on the books. We took advantage of the loopholes in the financial policy areas of various countries and deposited most of the profits into banks in France and Switzerland.

The remaining part has not been reduced much, as long as the cost and sales accounting is carried out according to the simple standards of Laos' fiscal policy. Besides, Laos will not care too much about how much we make, and every number we announced to the outside world has been strictly calculated and repeatedly demonstrated. It is equivalent to the Lao government giving us three years of tax exemption policy. We donate this part of the tax and donate it with the reputation of charity. This will not only benefit the Lao people, but also earn a good reputation. Why not do it?"

The three of them laughed knowingly. Corning admired Xu Jiawei's vision and shrewdness very much. Although Xu Jiawei said that he had died once, Corning clearly felt that Xu Jiawei's entire person had been greatly improved in all aspects, regardless of demeanor, wisdom, etc., and he seemed full of confidence and freedom to advance and retreat. Corning couldn't help but be deeply happy about Xu Jiawei's current situation.

The three of them sat down in the small pavilion by the green bamboo by the river, overlooking the scenery on the river, chatting leisurely.

Chen Pu remembered that after Corning visited the security company yesterday, he joked that the entire security company was like a secret base of the anti-government armed forces. He couldn't help but smile, and then whispered: "Aning, our family business is booming now, and we have 10,000 yuan in daily life. You should think about your next goal. You won't live like this for the rest of your life, right? Don't you think about yourself or the two wives and children in your family? And Amy, do you have the heart to let her continue to suffer with you?"

Kang Ning was stunned and then smiled and said, "Brother Chen, why did you think of talking about this? Are you not satisfied with bringing your lover from your hometown and wanting more talents to be lively? I guess my sister-in-law is almost three months pregnant, right?"

Before Chen Pu answered, Xu Jiawei interrupted first: "Anning, don't say anything. I admire Ah Chen the most in this regard. Who among us brothers goes out to do anything but go out to have sex with her? Especially Ah Dong, he is almost impotence and steals my dragon bone wine all day long, for fear that that aspect will not work after going out. Only Ah Chen has been sticking to his moral bottom line for ten years, especially after going through hardships, and brought the lovers and family of the village to Laos. The brothers are very moved! With Ah, he is taking advantage of the example, now many brothers are much more restrained when going out. Even after my wife comes home, she often compares Ah Chen with me, which makes me feel ashamed and have a headache!"

Chen Pu shook the back of his head with embarrassment, shook his head and smiled, "Look, you said that I am like a saint... In fact, I just asked my brothers to take some money to go back to Zhou to help my relatives and friends at home. Unexpectedly, my mouth kept keeping my promise and insisted on not getting married for eleven years. She is the only daughter of the family and has suffered for so many years. I can't leave her and her two elders to continue suffering in the countryside of Jiangxi, right? If my parents weren't greedy for their hometown, I would have picked them up together before the New Year."

Kang Ning was very moved when he heard this, remembering the wife and children at home mentioned earlier, as well as his elderly parents. He was in an extremely heavy mood for a moment.

After pondering for a while, Kang Ning took the question from Chen Pu just now and slowly expressed his plans: "Actually, I also want to settle down. I originally wanted to go out for further study, but now I have been shaken. After a while, I plan to go to the company's research institute to pass the time. When I have time, I go to the hospital to bring more than 200 young people from China. If I go down, I will set up a research institute for the hospital to do some clinical research and disease control."

Xu Jiawei and Chen Pu looked at each other. They both shook their heads slightly, and then turned to Kang Ning, who was leisurely looking at the river view.

Xu Jiawei coughed and asked in a low voice: "Aning, you don't want to throw all the affairs of the hospitals and Chinese communities in Chiang Rai to us, right? At present, my son is here to check it out from time to time in Chiang Rai, Thailand. There is also Liu Hailan, the right-hand assistant of Ah Chendi, led a few brothers to work there, and there was no big noise. The investment environment there is very bad, and it is often threatened by the force of the Yang brothers in the Golden Triangle in the north. Therefore, we dare not invest too much money and manpower in Chiang Rai.

The place is a treasure land, rich in resources and abundant human resources! Otherwise, how could the northern palace be built? Besides, it is a pity that the Chinese community with tens of thousands of people was thrown away for nothing!”

Corning was slightly stunned. He knew clearly that Chiang Rai, Thailand, would be his place to settle down in the future. To the north of the area is Daqili Town, a mixed force of many forces. If he lost this base, he would have less retreat in the future. Therefore, he was also particularly concerned about the situation in Chiang Rai. But Corning couldn't figure out the complicated warlord forces in Myanmar for a while. So he asked Xu Jiawei: "Which gang is the two people surnamed Yang? Have they always controlled the Chinese in Chiang Rai?"

"Yes! The Yang brothers are not simple. Let me briefly analyze it for you: Daqili belongs to the management of Jingdong County under the control of the Myanmar government army. It is an important trade channel from Myanmar to Thailand and a drug smuggling line to all parts of the Strait of Malacca. The two cousins ​​Yang Shengcheng and Yang Maogong were originally side branches of the Yang family, the Yang family, and were under the great drug lord Kunsha. Since Kunsha fell in 1996, the Kunsha group has been divided into pieces. The two brothers surnamed Yang defected to the government army and finally achieved the right

The control of the Daqili region basically monopolizes the land forest and grain trade between Myanmar and Thailand, not to mention the drug smuggling behind it. Because of this, they indirectly control the Chinese gangs in Chiang Rai. We have a very difficult development there. There are also the power of Peng Jiasheng, Chairman of the First Special Zone, the power of Lin Minxian, the chairman of the Fourth Special Zone, and some government forces have entered and maintained it." Xu Jiawei was obviously clear about the situation of Daqili and gave a detailed introduction to Corning.

Corning thought for a while and asked in confusion: "But our influence in Chiang Rai now should be quite bad! Our company has a very good relationship with the Thai royal family. The joint venture hospital has just been put into use. In addition, the foundation supports local poor people, the Chiang Rai government also supports us... We don't sell drugs or open brothels, and it seems that it is not a problem to gain a foothold. Why did the Yang brothers threaten us?"

Xu Jiawei shook his head and said with a depressed look: "There are many things in this world that are unreasonable. After all, I have been in a Hong Kong community for decades, and many inside stories are still very clear. The reason why the Yang brothers threatened us is because we gradually gained support from the Chinese and other tribes of Chiang Rai. The traditional Chinese medicine refineries, wood factories and rattan weaving craft factories in Chiang Rai have gradually lifted many people out of poverty, so that many poor people no longer provide cheap labor to the Yang brothers, forcing them to raise workers' wages. This involves the entanglement of interests. Speaking of this, are you still not clear?"

Kang Ning nodded helplessly, turned to Chen Pu and asked, "How about your assistant Liu Hailan? Is his character and ability okay?"

"It's very good. This son is from Dushan, Guizhou. He is two years younger than me. He is bold and meticulous and has good martial arts skills. He was the second squad leader under my command back then. He was righteous and upright, so I thought about it over and over again and finally decided to send him to guard Chiang Rai. He did a good job in Chiang Rai during this period. After we decided to take root in Chiang Rai a few years ago, he only took two months to establish a pharmacy and a Chinese medicinal material purchase station in Daqili. Now Daqili's main information is obtained through these two points. When I have time, I will accompany you to Myanmar. After a round, I guess you will have a lot of new understanding of the two countries, Myanmar and Thailand. Another thing is that your Thai passport should be used, stamped with a seal, and it will be more convenient to go anywhere after it takes effect."

Seeing that Corning took the initiative to ask, Chen Puying took the opportunity to cleverly put forward suggestions for Corning to travel.

Xu Jiawei saw Kang Ning's thoughtful look, took off his glasses and said slowly:

"Aning, to be honest, I am both happy and ashamed when I heard your praise this week. I am happy to have your recognition and encouragement. I am ashamed that we now have no real territory except Luang Prabang. Over the past year, our work has not completely opened up. In addition to relying on your prescription and maintaining the production of six drugs to obtain sufficient funds for development, our progress in other aspects is quite limited. Before, a group of brothers and I often discussed this issue, and no one can come up with a good solution.

Solution. You also know that I am quite good at commerce and communication. Adong is a good master in economic management. Achen has done a good job in guaranteeing and expanding, but none of us have your vision and charm. Now the company is facing a situation where you will retreat if you don’t advance. If you don’t want to come out, I think after a while, the company’s scale will be honest and it’s good to live a life of good life. For another year or two, everyone will have a billion or eight billion US dollars in their hands, which is also considered a rich man.”

Xu Jiawei's words made the atmosphere dull.

Kang Ning knew Xu Jiawei's meaning well and also vaguely saw Chen Pu's ambitions and ambitions that were unwilling to be lonely. It is very likely that the life and environment over the past year have made Chen Pu and his many brothers unwilling to be controlled by others gradually spread. Surviving in such a strange country, they always have the seemingly innate sense of crisis that seems to be innate in a real soldier.

Corning thought again and thought, isn’t it the same for me?

Since the escape, four years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I still have no stable place to settle down.

However, the heavy sense of responsibility made Corning very hesitant. In the past, he was fighting for tomorrow alone, without any concern or too much responsibility, but as long as he agreed to become a collective leader, every step he took in the future would be a hundred times more difficult.

Chen Pu and Xu Jiawei looked at Kang Ning in contemplation silently, and no one disturbed him.

It was not until the setting sun fell west that Corning sighed deeply: "Tomorrow we will set off to Chiang Rai to check it out, and then go to Daqili. After I come back, I will tell you my final decision. Then, let me discuss it carefully. Whether to go or stay, I will give you a clear answer."

After hearing Kang Ning's words, Xu Jiawei and Chen Pu were shocked and looked at each other.

They suddenly realized whether they and a group of brothers were too impatient, which led to Corning saying "go and stay" that there was no third option.
Chapter completed!
