.

The reception specifications of the central government are surprisingly grand and grand.

During the reception dinner, Prime Minister Chennai and Vice Prime Minister Ding Feng's high evaluation of Corning was amazing. The two Prime Ministers who spoke first and later praised Corning and his Fourth Special Zone for their outstanding contributions to the reunification of the country and the prosperity of the nation, and forged a new path for Myanmar's economic development. Corning's own erudition and loyalty is a role model and pride of the people.

This sudden gorgeous praise and the cups under the bright lights made Corning dizzy. It was not that such a huge glory made Corning lose its direction, but that such a very high honor was far beyond Corning's acceptable level, which made him deeply confused about the intentions of the entire central government.

Corning really wanted to find an opportunity to carefully interrogate his old friend Noramin and his handsome appearance, or privately let the smiling Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Wen Song reveal that in public, Corning did not dare to get too close to his allies, nor did he dare to interrogate President Dan Rui and Prime Minister Chennai around him, so he had to bow his head humbly and accept everyone's congratulations and praises.

This sumptuous dinner was meaningless to Corning, and he could not even get half full, so he had to go to the conference hall to hold a formal meeting.

Chairman Danrui, the chief tycoon of Myanmar, admired the young Corning very much. His half-closed eyes were still shining, his square face that had begun to relax, a kind smile appeared, his plump nose and broad mouth shape could still vaguely see his perseverance and decisiveness back then.

The three prime ministers and more than 30 other ministerial officials at the meeting had different expressions, but their faces were filled with some appreciation and expectations.

Corning first briefly introduced the development of the Fourth Special Zone to Chairman Danrui and various officials. Finally, he expressed deep gratitude to the central government for its strong support and cooperation in all aspects. He finished the current political, military, economic and cultural status in two or three minutes, and was truly in the local language. The senior government officials at the meeting were quite surprised and friendly.

After hearing this, Danrui nodded gently and asked, "I heard that your Fourth Special Zone has started producing cars. Is this news accurate?"

"It's still under experiments and testing. We have brought the mass production application documents this time, hoping to get strong support from the central government. Since we in Myanmar do not have a complete set of industrial standards, we use China's relevant industrial standards. According to the recent three inspection reports, the three types of cars we produce have met the technical requirements of China's automobile industry, and the first batch of 30 prototype cars will be delivered to Yangon next month. It is a gift from our Fourth Special Zone to the central government." Corning replied modestly.

Everyone was very happy when they heard this. The Chennai Prime Minister couldn't help but feel excited and asked loudly: "There are three different types? It's so great! Let's talk about it, what kind of cars are they all?"

Corning answered truthfully: "The first model is a 2400-displacement four-wheel drive off-road vehicle, suitable for military and police use. The second type is a 1600-displacement small off-road vehicle, with a wide range of applications. The third type is a 1600-displacement five-door sedan. We all named these three cars, and more than 85% of the spare parts used were introduced from mainland China and Malaysia. Our own engine, gearbox and chassis production lines have not been purchased yet. It will take a year to try out the production of our main parts. For a long time in the future, we can only adopt the production method of purchasing parts and assemble them by themselves. However, the model was designed and developed by ourselves, and the price is about 20% lower than similar models imported from abroad."

Danrui said happily: "Actually, this is already very good. I have seen the multi-purpose tractors and small diesel engines you assemble and produce in the suburbs. It is very good, and it is not necessarily much worse than the imported areas in China. The water pumps and small rice mills have also entered the grain production area of ​​southern Myanmar. The response is very good. I hope you will continue to work hard."

"Thanks!"

Corning nodded with a smile, but thought in his heart that these products were all produced from the joint venture factory of Lanning Huaying Group. The land is the most advanced production line and standard in the world, and the quality is naturally first-class. When the parts are imported by themselves, they will assemble them, just to reduce tariffs and use the lowest price and marketing advantages as possible to quickly seize the Myanmar market. In this way, after the marketing network is established, it will not be so easy for other countries to come in again.

In fact, many of the best-selling products in Myanmar are operated in this way.

Products that cannot be assembled by themselves, such as large-scale home appliances, are also purchased by Jinghong Border Trade Company, which is responsible for Leng Feng, in large quantities of products from the manufacturer's backward generations, and exported to the Gem Import and Export Group Company under the SAR Government at the lowest price. Jinghong Company earns national export tax rebates, Gem Company earns sales profits in the Myanmar market, and uses its own transportation fleet and sales points in major cities in Myanmar to always take one or two steps faster than others.

Therefore, the commercial development of the Fourth Special Zone is far more than several times the sum of the other three Special Zones.

The talks have been held in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Shizhen, Pan Shaoqun and others answered a series of questions raised by the main responsible officials of the government. Corning and others could clearly feel from everyone's smile that the central government was still satisfied with the Fourth Special Zone.

In the next two days, Corning and his team were divided into two groups, consulting with relevant central ministries and commissions with all aspects of issues and projects. With the strong support of Prime Minister Chennai, all ministries and commissions cooperated closely and green lights all the way, greatly accelerating the progress of work.

The next night, nearly a hundred central government officials gathered in the auditorium to watch the TV documentary "All-view of the United States" produced by the Fourth Special Zone TV Station.

This set of five-episode documentaries in Burmese versions is forty minutes each. The excited Chairman Danrui ordered that there was no need for an intermission and would continue to play until the end of the show.

After all, Danrui praised the political attitude and production level of this documentary, and made a decision on the spot to broadcast it repeatedly on the national TV station so that the people of the whole country can see the gap between themselves and the United States. Seeing the discrimination of Americans, political persecution and economic blockade of Myanmar, Noramin, especially Corning's unyielding fighting spirit and love for the motherland.

Corning's time is very tight, either attending economic seminars or having a secret talk with the Prime Minister's Office. Two of them attended press conferences held by the Central Government and the Prime Minister's Office, and they were inevitably eager to answer questions from reporters from various countries. Among them, there were many popular scenes of verbal battles with Korean journalists who were resentful, but in the face of tough and wise Corning. The stubborn and arrogant Koreans are often incoherent, with red faces and thick necks, and have become laughing stocks for journalists from various countries again and again.

On the afternoon of March 21, news of the full-scale invasion of Iraq finally came, and Myanmar was like the whole world. The whole country was in an uproar. There was also more fear and worry than other countries.

The US and British Allied Forces launched large-scale air strikes and ground offensives code-named "Decapitation Operation" and "Deterrence Operation" to Iraq on March 20, Iraq time. After the war began, Bush delivered a televised speech to the whole country, announcing the beginning of the war where the Saddam regime was overthrown, emphasizing that the war will be decided quickly.

In a blink of an eye, the US and British Allied Forces successively threw more than 2,000 precision-guided bombs of various types at more than ten cities and ports including Baghdad, Basra, Najaf, Mosul, Kirkuk, Umgaisl, etc., including 500 Tomahawk cruise missiles. This powerful strike shocked the central government of Myanmar. Chairman Danrui issued an emergency order: an enlarged meeting of the Military Commission was immediately convened, and the Thai-Myanmar border troops and the Myanmar Navy entered a first-level alert state.

Corning, who was worried, was not called to attend an emergency meeting of senior management due to his level and position, but took advantage of this rare opportunity to go to the "Golden Coast" hotel to have a tense discussion with the Myanmar Intelligence Director Lu Xiaonan, Investment Foundation Chairman Xiao Xianhe, and Huang Chaowei, General Manager of Myanmar Pharmaceutical Chain Enterprises, and others, and held a telephone conference with the base through their own secret channels to discuss countermeasures and political attitudes that should be taken in the chaotic situation.

What unexpectedly happened to Corning was that on the afternoon of the 22nd, just when Corning wanted to summon his generals to listen to the report, Mr. Danrui ordered Corning to go to the central government.

It was not until the car that the two old friends had a rare conversation. Guangmangming whispered that they must seize this rare opportunity. Danrui himself admired Kangning's military talent and economic development talents very much. He was likely to follow the old rules and appointed Kangning as a member of the "Peace and Development Commission" of the highest power organ of the country to make up for the long-term absence of the Special Administrative Region representatives, and to show the outside world a high-profile spirit of unity and unity to the Union of Myanmar. The special car entered the depths of the central government's office area and slowly stopped in front of a beautiful two-and-a-half-story western-style building. Guangmangming sent Kangning into the living room of the building, and sat down and waited quietly. As soon as Kangning entered the door, he saw the clever detector and the chairman guards who could be seen everywhere, thinking that this boss was not easy!

Half an hour later, Danrui's confidential secretary asked Kang Ning to go upstairs to meet Jin.

Upon reaching the simple office on the second floor, Danrui saw Corning walk into the room, and stood up from behind the large desk, smilingly signaling Corning to sit on the sofa. After the secretary brought Corning fruit tea, he waved all the personnel back and sat down on the side of Corning and asked kindly: "I suddenly call you over today. There is a tricky thing to listen to your opinion."

Corning said modestly: "Thank you for your trust! I am just worried about having negative expectations from the Chairman."

"Haha! If you have negative expectations, then most of my officials should be removed from office!" Danrui joked casually, then became serious, opened his sharp eyes and looked at Corning: "I want to hear your opinion. Should our government now issue a statement condemn the atrocities of the Americans?"

Corning thought for a little while and answered decisively: "I personally think that under the current international situation, appeals are more beneficial than condemnation."

"Hmm? Tell me why." Danrui asked calmly.

Corning smiled slightly: "It's very simple. Condemnation does not bring us any benefits, and it may also arouse the jealousy of Americans. According to the current situation analysis, there is no danger to defend. Iraq, which has many political factions, will soon be occupied by the US military. When I was in the United States, I discussed the Iraq issue with several US officials and consortium leaders. The Americans are very confident and frank in this regard. A deputy director of the Southeast Asian Affairs Bureau of the U.S. Department of Foreign Affairs even told me that as long as the war begins, Iraq will have no resistance within a week. I agree with this."

Seeing Danrui nodding with satisfaction, Corning lowered his voice and continued: "There is another important reason. Germany and France have publicly opposed the US's action, which is closely related to their losses of interests in the Middle East. The energy security of the entire Europe was suddenly in the hands of the Americans, so their reaction was very strong. Surprisingly, China did not make excessive remarks, which is very intriguing, so I think there is no need to be too tough, otherwise the next one to be suppressed by the Americans is likely to be us. If what I said is wrong, please forgive me!"

Danrui nodded in appreciation: "You have a very good analysis. You can see further than most of the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and General Staff. I will take your opinions tonight's meeting for discussion... By the way, there is one thing I would like to ask your opinions, are you willing to give a speech at the major colleges in the capital? You are young, promising, mature and steady, and are also a respected role model for intellectuals and students. Therefore, I hope you can convey the concept of unity and loyalty to everyone. Are you willing?"

"I am very happy, this is my honor!" Corning quickly stood up and solemnly stated: "I will follow the Chairman's instructions, just want to make a request."

"Oh? Tell me!" Danrui smiled unexpectedly.

Corning said gratefully: "It is difficult to achieve satisfactory results with simple education. I ask me to combine issues in the fields of economy, trade, culture, morality, etc. to explain them, and by the way, I will make my comments on the aggression of Americans. Of course, all of this is just my personal opinion and does not represent the position of the central government."

Danrui laughed loudly, patted Corning's shoulder with satisfaction, and said with admiration: "Go boldly to be a young man. You are the smartest politician I have ever met, and you have a bright future! It seems that you will put more burdens on your shoulders, haha!"
Chapter completed!
