The next morning, Corning and his group of more than 50 people boarded the plane to go west while farewell to Harrison Ford and other friends and Asian affairs officials of the US Foreign Ministry, and arrived in San Francisco at 10:20 am.

What surprised Corning was that when he walked out of the airport VIP channel, he became the focus of attention. Many passengers who came and went around him to ask for his signature. The camera lights flashed constantly, and hundreds of journalists from the United States and countries around the world made requests for interviews.

Faced with the growing number of reporters and onlookers, facing the three-layer cameras inside and outside, and the long guns and short cannons of the cameras, Corning was a little at a loss for a moment. But he also knew that he could not offend the media and the American people who liked him, and waved to people very generously and tried his best to meet their requirements. Finally, under the forced isolation of the San Francisco police, security personnel escorted Corning and his party to safely leave the airport.

Mr. David, a US government official who was accompanying him in the car, told Corning with a smile:

"Dear Kang, you have now become the hottest figure in our United States. In the past two days, major TV stations have repeatedly broadcasted news about you, and political critics tirelessly analyzed your speeches in Congress and Harvard University. The Myanmar issue has heated up again and has become the focus of news that various TV stations are paying attention to, especially your amazing blow on the fighting field. And last night, facing the crisis at a charity party in Las Vegas, cleverly resolved a vicious incident that could cause deaths and injuries, which has caused a sensation in the entire United States. The fans of those celebrities are chasing you like crazy. I think you will release a movie now.

If the movie is done, the box office will easily exceed 100 million. In addition, yesterday afternoon, the Venzano family announced to major American media that his Mikaway Group will join forces with the Canadian Consort Nancy Multinational Group to enter the Southeast Asian investment market. He also hinted that oil and gas exploration and exploitation may be carried out on the west coast of Myanmar. With a keen sense of smell, the news media generally believed that the major move of the Venzano Consortium was related to the arrival of your visiting group, and even consulted whether the US government should adjust its economic blockade and sanctions policy on Myanmar. Haha! Kang, as an outstanding politician, my colleagues generally believed that you did a good job, and I think so too."

Although Corning was surprised by the enthusiasm of the American people, he was not in the entertainment industry. So he was not keen on this, but was more interested in the statements of the Venzano family. At the same time, the Canadian Consol Nancy Multinational Group should be a company under the Situ family. Now that the high-profile appearance is coming, it is probably more of a pressure on the US government to change its economic policies towards Myanmar.

At the moment, Corning smiled and said, "Thank you. Davi! I didn't expect this situation to happen. However, I personally still very much hope that the US government can change its current policies and increase exchanges between the two countries at all levels. In conversations with relevant officials of the US Congress, I repeatedly called on your government to re-examine the relationship between the two countries with a pragmatic and progressive attitude. In terms of current political terms of good local and Sino-US relations, it is ideological differences and should not affect the development of economic cooperation. The Canadian government has done a good job in this regard. The metal mines in central and northern Myanmar are almost half occupied by Canadian companies. The two copper mines in our Fourth Special Zone are also cooperated with Canadian companies. They are operating well now. It is estimated that they can produce 100,000 tons of copper ingots and 25 tons of silver this year, and will be better next year."

Davi nodded solemnly: "I understand what you mean. I personally think that it will be difficult for our government to make major adjustments to the current Myanmar policy in the near future. Kang, it seems that you still have to wait patiently. According to my understanding, Congress holds two completely different attitudes towards the central government of Myanmar and your Fourth Special Zone. Everyone is generally optimistic about the development prospects of your Fourth Special Zone. Last night, I had a detailed exchange with Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger for this. He told me clearly that as long as he successfully runs for the Governor of California, he will vigorously carry out economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation with Myanmar governments at all levels within the framework of California's legal framework. It seems that he and you have a very consistent opinion."

The two talked for a while, and the convoy arrived in front of a gorgeous and elegant European building. Situ Yuan and others were already standing at the steps at the door and waiting for a long time.

Since he could only stay in San Francisco for four and a half hours and boarded a chartered flight from Thailand Airlines, Corning tactfully declined the California government's talks and visit invitations, saying that he still had private affairs to arrange, so he went directly to the headquarters of the Situ Yuan family on the West Coast of the United States.

After entering the spacious and luxurious reception hall in the building, Liu Yiqing and others seized the time and led the crew to the famous Chinatown in San Francisco for filming. Ding Yannian and others also went out for sightseeing together, and brought some small gifts to their relatives at home. Noramin, Maomangming and other officials from the central government of Myanmar were discussing the diplomatic affairs of the two countries with the accompanying US government diplomats. Corning took the elevator with Situ Yuan to the president's office on the top floor of the building, and had a secret talk with Situ Yuan's cousin Situ Jiong, the head of the American Western Affairs of the Situ family, and Situ Yuan's cousin.

The elegant Situ Jiong was only 38 years old, strong and well maintained, looking like a handsome guy in his early thirties. He took out a thick stack of newspapers and sent them to Corning, waved his hand to his secretary to avoid it, and got up to make coffee for Corning himself:

"Aning, you have become a star in the eyes of Americans. Politicians call you a rising star in Myanmar's political arena and a hope for democracy. The eyes of business celebrities are all focused on Myanmar, the last virgin land in Southeast Asia. The entertainment and sports circles praised you very much, and the American people even worship you, and they praised you as a hero like Superman and Spider-Man! It can be said that your arrival and a series of outstanding performances have reversed the negative views of most Americans towards Orientals. Even Mr. Stoke, chairman of the American Tourism Association, optimistically predicted that Myanmar is likely to be included in the latest American tourism area by the government in the middle of the year. In general, you gained a lot this time."

Corning hurriedly read dozens of newspapers and saw that it was full of his own color pictures and full-page text reports. He couldn't help but laugh: "It's really scary. Are these newspapers crazy? They actually put the news about me on the front page, and they are not afraid of the president and politicians in their eyes. The trip was a big deal. Not only did they get a few car production lines in vain, but they also returned with nearly 2 billion US dollars in their pockets. I really want to come here every month in the future, and the SAR will not have to worry about not having money to develop the economy in the future."

Brother Situ laughed out loud. Situ Jiong gave Kang Ning a cup of hot coffee and laughed in a low voice: "Aning, you might as well satisfy the Americans' wishes, forget about making a movie, and introduce Celine Dion to me by the way. She is my idol. A few years ago, the song "My Heart is Eternal" made me fascinated."

The three of them laughed again. Corning put down his cup and asked, "By the way, Tony hurriedly announced to the media yesterday that he entered the Southeast Asian market. Have you reached a specific cooperation agreement with the Venzano family?"

"Yes, our family's US headquarters is also located in New York. Several senior directors have reached the same agreement with the Venzano family in the name of its Canadian Consol Nancy Multinational Group and signed a series of cooperative investment documents. The old man is very pleased with this. He said that this is the best support for you. Tony is also very optimistic about your political future. The reason why he hurriedly held a press conference was to use his actions to show his confidence and help in you."

Situ Yuan briefly explained and said anxiously: "There is something you have to hurry up. In the second half of last year, the central government of Myanmar lifted restrictions on foreign investment in oil, metal minerals and transportation industries. However, the applications of three Canadian multinational companies in the first half of this year were all knocked back without exception. It can be seen that the Myanmar senior management still has strict control. This time, we entered Myanmar's oil exploration and mining industry with high profile and acquired two loss-making wells from Myanmar National Energy Company. We may also encounter resistance from the upper layer of Myanmar."

Corning seemed very sure, and he waved his hand: "Don't worry, senior brother, as long as the fourth brother handed over the application, I promise to get the central government approved it within fifteen days. Now, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Energy of Myanmar have our own people, and Noramin and Kuangming will also say hello to them. After I go back, I will ask my foundation to visit them. Another thing is that in the April election, Noramin will be able to take up the post of the first deputy prime minister smoothly. This is a place that the central government of Myanmar has already decided. In addition, this trip to the United States has been a great success, so no problem should be there. His economic thoughts are very consistent with me. They are both moderate reformists and have formed a political alliance with me."

"Very good Situ Yuan said with satisfaction: "The fourth brother gave me a call last night and said that you handed over all three companies in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai in northern Thailand to a little girl named Zheng Shuyi. It is very worrying. The fourth brother doubted whether this little girl in her early twenties could be competent for this important task. I guess she is your mama again? Secondly, Xu Ziliang from your Singapore company seems quite dissatisfied. He is adjusting his Far East Marine Transportation Company and Medical Device Group Company, and sweeping out more than 40 middle and low-level managers loyal to Luang Prabang headquarters. It seems that you are uneasy inside."

Corning smiled slightly: "Please rest assured about Shuyi's affairs. Although she is young and lacks management experience, the veterans from all companies and departments will do their best to help her, not to mention that behind her is the support of Mr. Zheng Henian, a giant arm of the Malaysian business world."

Speaking of this, Kangning added another sentence in his heart: "There is also the support of the mainland military! Otherwise, I wouldn't ask my third uncle to help me." Looking at the thoughtful brothers Situ, Kangning continued: "As for Xu Ziliang's reaction, it was as expected that he owed a total of more than 400 million US dollars in land payments from Luang Prabang headquarters, and privately embezzled more than 20 million US dollars in profits from major companies in northern Thailand to his own real estate projects, which has long caused dissatisfaction among the brothers. I took back this part of northern Thailand this time, using my own.

The shares were carried out, and I used one-third of my shares to recover the industries in northern Thailand. My brothers were very supportive. This not only protected the public interests of the group members, but also avoided the danger of Xu Ziliang's continued losses. Even the eldest brother of Xu Jiawei, who used his shares to pay off his son's debts, thanked him repeatedly and said sorry. The reason why I withstand the huge pressure from my brother and did not deal with Xu Ziliang was because of the face of Xu Jiawei, and wanted to give him another chance. Now it seems that it is difficult for him to look back."

Corning sighed and shook his head gently: "The people who were driven away by Xu Ziliang are almost all rare talents loyal to Luang Prabang Group. More than a dozen outstanding talents have been lost. It's a pity! Before I came, I had arranged more than 20 of them to join Shuyi's company, serving as middle and senior management personnel of each branch, merged and reorganized major companies in northern Thailand into the Northern Brothers Investment Group Company, and asked them to formulate plans to open up the Singapore and Malaysia markets, especially to accelerate the acquisition and investment in the three aspects of rubber, oil and agriculture. Now they are in full swing, so I did not let them participate in the cooperative development of Myanmar this time."

"So----What form do you want to use to cooperate with our two companies to develop Myanmar?" Situ Jiong asked with interest.

Corning smiled and said: "There is a company in Yangon called Myanmar Xingyue Investment and Trade Group. It has basically controlled the import and export business of machinery, medical devices, medicines and light products in Myanmar. This company was founded in May last year. The shareholders include six real-time officials from the top leaders of the Myanmar military and government. Our Fourth Special Zone holds 40% of the shares, Myanmar National Import and Export Company holds 30% of the shares, and the other six

The families of senior management account for 5% each. I plan to participate in the cooperation between you and Tony in the name of this company. In addition, I set up a separate marine fishery company, located in Sittawa Port, Rakhine State on the west coast of Myanmar. My deep-water dock and processing area. With the strong help of the new President of Rakhine General Wu Dinglai, the land acquisition work has been completed. It will rely on the oil wells, docks, fuel power plants and series of petrochemical enterprises that you and Tony will build."

Brother Situ looked at each other and laughed. Finally, he understood why Kang Ning was so confident that he could get national approval in half a month. It turned out that this keen and cunning guy had already bribed many senior Burmese leaders and had also carried out his own investment plan in advance. With this close political and economic interest relationship, even selling the country is possible. What else can't be done?

In fact, how could the two of them really know Corning?

The reason why Corning is involved in the west coast of Myanmar far away from its jurisdiction is that the situation inside is quite complicated. It includes the ideals and ambitions of the Corning Group brothers, the hints and requests from China, and the far-reaching political interests of the Fourth Special Zone. Chapter 1 is here
