Chapter 648 Above the Clouds

.

)     The Boeing 747 soars smoothly in the blue sky.

The exhausted delegation members closed their eyes and rested one after another, only Kang Ning sat upright with a calm expression. After reading the secret documents given to him by Situ Yuan before leaving, Kang Ning carefully folded the documents in half, put them in his underwear pocket, turned his head and looked at the various clouds outside the window, thinking quietly.

Although Corning had made sufficient ideological preparations for his trip to the United States, he still did not expect that it would attract such attention and rapid response in China. Thinking of the last part of Situ Yuan’s document, Corning had to pay great attention. He needed to carefully consider the opinions entrusted by the Situ family by the domestic and foreign ministries, and figure out why the country was so anxious about his development of the Rakhine State oil exploration project.

According to the hint of his uncle Yang Qingquan, the domestic military is very much in need of establishing a long-term and stable radar station in the Bay of Bengal for monitoring and evaluation of increasingly developed aerospace projects in China.

Corning has always expressed his supportive attitude and is very clear that under the current circumstances, it is very difficult for the domestic government to reach an agreement with the central government of Myanmar. Not to mention the disgusting "China threat theory" has been buzzing with the strong publicity of European and American countries and Japan and South Korea. It is only said that the domestic support for the Myanmar government has greatly reduced in the past two years, which has made the sensitive and chaotic Myanmar senior officials feel suspicious. It can be said that over the past 20 years, China's policy of keeping low profile and its submissive international image have gradually lost the sense of security and dependence that the upper class of Myanmar has in China have gradually lost.

Therefore, it is very difficult for the Chinese military to rent out the islands on the west coast of Myanmar to establish a radar monitoring station. It is difficult for the Chinese military to obtain the majority of the understanding and support of the top leaders of Myanmar. Without a year or two of repeated consultations and to make tangible work in international affairs, economic assistance and military exchanges, this domestic wish cannot be achieved at all. Unless it can also support the current Myanmar government with its own practical actions and financial resources in its ability, and express its support for the central government in foreign exchanges and defend the dignity of a unified country. Only by using investment and development to successfully get involved in the west coast of Myanmar through investment and development. To this end, Corning's General Staff Headquarters has secretly handed a detailed assessment report to the intelligence officer sent by Yang Qingquan to the Fourth Special Zone - Lu Yuanfang.

This time, the domestic and foreign affairs department responded so much and so quickly, which was beyond Corning's expectations. The other party did not doubt his political attitude, but was extremely anxious about his current attitude in commercial development and port construction on the west coast. This proves that the west coast of Myanmar has long attracted high attention from the country. In addition to the safety of the energy transportation line of a country with a population of more than one billion, it seems that he is extremely expecting the potential of the Bay of Bengal submarine oil and gas fields that have never attracted the attention of the world for a long time.

In fact, Corning obtained a copy of the National Mineral Resources Distribution Map compiled by the Ministry of Energy of Myanmar at the beginning of this year through the hard work of his subordinates and the price of one million Myanmar Kyat. This map document was a result of the Myanmar government spending a lot of money to secretly invite dozens of geological and mineral resources and surveying and evaluation experts from the CIS to divide them into 21 groups and worked hard for three and a half years. From beginning to end, it was regarded as a top-secret document by the Myanmar central government. Now Corning has just enclosed land in Sittawa Port, Rakhine State, in his old friend Wu Dinglai. The domestic and foreign departments are so eager to test their plans and attitudes. It is obvious that the "National Mineral Distribution Map" is regarded as a top-secret by the Myanmar government, and otherwise it would not have been possible to have such a rapid response.

After thinking about it carefully, Corning immediately understood that another important reason that cannot be ignored is probably the impact of the incident of the incident where the Venzano consortium announced its high-profile entry into Southeast Asia and intends to enter Myanmar's energy market on a large scale.

Putting aside the Myanmar government's several small and medium-sized oil and gas fields located in the geological settlement belt of the central region, the Rakhagi Valley and the Chindun River area discovered last year, which had an annual output of one million tons attracted the coveting of oil companies in nine countries including South Korea, the Netherlands, Australia, Canada, the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom. Last year, the Myanmar government and two oil companies, the Netherlands and Australia, respectively, explored oil and natural gas on the shelf, Maulham and other places. And achieved gratifying results in just three months, which is probably the reason for the anxiety of the country. As the scale of factories in the mainland, the world has become larger, energy security issues have attracted the attention of the government, not to mention the clampdown that the United States suffered after defeating Iraq in the 1991 Gulf War. Now in a blink of an eye, the United States is about to take force against Iraq again. Once the United States defeats Saddam and supports the puppet regime, China's energy problems will be even more serious.

Especially the area west of the Rakkai Mountains to the west coast, which is 200 kilometers wide from east to west and more than 500 kilometers long from north to south. It is the area with the richest oil and natural gas accumulation in Myanmar. The Myanmar government just roughly surveyed it and obtained no less than 1.6 billion tons of oil accumulation data.

It is conceivable how attractive the coast and land that have not yet been surveyed thousands of kilometers south of Rakhine State would be. This is also the reason why Corning took action suddenly. If Corning had not used a large amount of bribes and national justice to exchange for delays from the central government of Myanmar, at this time, the world's famous multinational oil companies would have already arrived, and drilling towers had already covered Myanmar's coastline for thousands of kilometers.

Originally, Corning had no intention of cooperating with the Venzano family. He just came to the United States to negotiate with Situ Yuan with the secret of Myanmar's oil resources. Unexpectedly, Situ Yuan had a more profound idea than Corning. Situ Yuan proposed on the spot that if there was no American company, it would be difficult to successfully exploit four oil fields on the coast of Rakhine State and establish large oil refining companies and corresponding chemical industry enterprises. Perhaps if an American conspiracy would turn hundreds of millions of dollars of investment into a sea of ​​fire.

Therefore, after repeated consideration, Corning accepted Situ Yuan's suggestion to allow the Venzano family, who has a strong influence on the US government, to participate, and use the strong capital and influence of Situ Yuan and the Venzano family to jointly develop this hot land.

Corning was very smart to realize that it was wise to make money together and take risks together before he had strong strength.

According to the current situation, it will take at least ten years to have the ability to mine independently, but in these ten years, who can ensure that the top guys in the government will not be bribed by foreign forces?

Instead of being in the end, it is better to start now. Although Corning is very unwilling and helpless about this, he feels much more comfortable when he thinks of the strong strength and high-end products of the Venzano family, and the drug trade that has always worried about it, finally has the largest and safest buyer, Corning feels much more comfortable.

This multi-faceted cooperation will bring continuous wealth and huge political benefits to Corning.

In this way, the country is already very anxious. If Corning really abandons the mainland and successfully achieves joint efforts with multinational groups such as the United States and Canada, Sittawa, a strategically significant one, has long been recognized by the country, will be occupied by Corning Group and European and American consortiums.

This important port, which is related to domestic energy security, can no longer become a strategic port for domestic oil and natural gas. Let’s not talk about the large amount of oil and natural gas hidden in the hundreds of kilometers north and south of Shidou Port, nor do we say that the ideal oil pipeline extends from Shidou Port to Yunnan. Just one aspect is enough to make the country restless------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After figuring out the interests of this, Corning felt much better. But another complicated question once again came to his mind.

Thanks to the rejection of Xu Ziliang by many companies under the Situ family, Xu Ziliang did not get what he wanted and entered the real estate markets of important coastal cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Suddenly, the competition for land failed, which made Xu Ziliang busy in the mainland for half a year and did nothing. At the same time, after more than half a year of adjustment, Corning also successfully separated the Thai companies under Xu Ziliang's jurisdiction from Malaysia in a timely manner.

Among them, the Malaysian part, more than US$70 million in assets are nominally owned by the Situ family, but in fact it has become Corning's private industry. Now it is a rubber joint enterprise entity of the Kang family and the Situ family each account for 50% of the shares; the Thai part is Corning's tough attitude and takes it to its own property. Corning uses its own shares to exchange for these more than 420 million land assets, which has also belonged to Corning's own industry. At the same time, it has cleverly forced Xu Jiawei, the president of Luang Prabang headquarters, to bear joint and several liability for his son and reduce his shares. This is how it is formed.

A result that made all brothers very satisfied: Corning and Xu Jiawei, who originally occupied the largest total shares of Corning Group, reduced their respective shares from 20% to 8% and half of the 12% shares. Corning was replaced by Thailand property, which was operated independently by Corning, and was responsible for its own profits and losses. The half of Xu Jiawei's reduced shares worth US$400 million was used to pay off his son's debts, and the other half was distributed to brothers who entered the group's senior management in the later stage and had already held important military and political positions, thus narrowing the gap in interests of most people and further winning the hearts of the brothers.

Although this has greatly weakened the strength of Xu Ziliang, who is already out of control, Xu Ziliang has two entities, Nanyang Siemens Medical Equipment Manufacturing Joint Enterprise, Singapore Far East Marine Transportation Company, and the office building located in the Marina Bay Financial District of Singapore, which has been successfully listed and raised, and the group's assets is still under Xu Ziliang's name, and is legally owned by Xu Ziliang. If it is reclaimed toughly, it may lead to both sides and heavy losses. Another thing is that based on Xu Jiawei's face and Xu Ziliang's contribution over the past few years, Corning convinced the brothers not to recover the assets worth US$400 million and the working capital up to US$250 million, which still gives Xu Ziliang a chance to turn back.

Now it seems that Xu Ziliang will no longer look back. Now he has a strong capital of up to 650 million US dollars. He simply ignores the interests of many brothers and the painstaking efforts of his father Xu Jiawei, and ambitiously enters China's profitable real estate market. Although the Situ family successfully blocked him in the real estate markets of coastal cities, how can such a large territory in China be set up everywhere?

Moreover, according to the latest news, Xu Ziliang has successfully joined the Zeng family in Canada, and it will be more difficult to control his actions in the future.

It was at this time that Kangning truly understood the wealth and awesome background of the Zeng family. Although this emerging force that made its mark in the early days of reform and opening up in China was nominally a multinational consortium in Canada, its roots were deeply rooted in the disaster-stricken land of China, using the lofty power of his fathers to crazily plunder all resources on the land where his ancestors lived for generations, and no one could shake it.

Kang Ning knew clearly that neither his family nor the Situ family was the opponent of the Zeng family, and he could not afford to offend him for a while, but Xu Ziliang, who was heading for betrayal, wanted to satisfy his selfish desires with the huge wealth that all his brothers exchanged for their lives and sweat. Kang Ning would never turn a blind eye and let it go.

Therefore, after Tony Venzano proposed to jointly acquire a marine transportation company, Corning came up with a sinister way of revenge, which could not only maximize the common wealth of the group brothers, but also combat the arrogant Xu Ziliang.

At this time, Corning was repeatedly confirming the action plan he wanted to take against Xu Ziliang, striving to be meticulous and effective, and win one blow.

Looking at the clouds outside the machine window, Kang Ning felt extremely heavy.

This feeling of emptiness above the clouds deepened the sadness in his heart.
