Controlling Bawi means controlling part of the white and underworld in Chiang Mai.
Although Siam and Luzon are both bad guys, they are a little better than Luzon. At least there are not too many blatant local separatist families.
Although the royal family of Siam is as arrogant and domineering as the big families, they still have a little face and relatively good internal control.
This prevents the power of Bawei, the governor, from being severely restricted. Of course, Bawei also has the support of a medium-sized family behind him, and he also secretly controls the Krait Snake Gang.
Through Bawei's relationship, Domino quietly eliminated all the senior members of the Krait Gang and captured this small gang with 1,367 members.
Domino also placed a spider web manager in Chiang Mai through Yang Mengjiao's Hongsawady branch to serve as the behind-the-scenes controller of the Ring Snake Gang, and asked Bawi to cooperate.
After all these arrangements were completed, Domino returned to his oriental appearance and temporarily lived in Chiang Mai under the name Mu Qing.
After all, her mission is to cooperate with Yang Mengjiao and completely penetrate into the Golden Triangle area. Yang Mengjiao will exert force on Hongsavady, while she will provide coordination and cooperation in Chiang Mai.
Chen Jianxiong naturally does not have time to come and do this kind of task in person. After all, he is getting busier and busier now. He needs to handle various matters of the Security Department, and it is impossible to stay here in Bangkok for a long time.
Therefore, there is a high probability that the Siam Intelligence Station and the Golden Triangle strategy will be taken over by Domino.
June 16th.
Bawi accompanied Liu Zhifan to meet at the White Orchid Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province, and the two parties started talks on investing in and building a factory.
"Your company is willing to invest in building a factory. On behalf of Chiang Mai Province, I would like to welcome you. At the same time, I can also provide you with some help within my ability." Bawepi said with a smile.
Liu Zhifan also smiled: "Thank you Fu Yin for your strong support. I wish us a happy cooperation."
The two sides clinked glasses gently.
Other members of the Bawi family who were present were also very happy at this time, because this beverage and canning factory will be operated as a joint venture, in which Qingye Group holds 67% of the shares, and the Bawi family holds 33%, and will bear all the certificates.
Handle and purchase factory land.
In addition, the sales of canned and beverage products in Siam are also contracted by the Bawi family.
Liu Zhifan would like to enter Bangkok in Siam. The problem is that there are too many big families there. The imperial power group controlled by the Siamese royal family alone is not the kind of force that is easy to talk to.
Therefore, he used Domino's relationship to focus on Chiang Mai, the second largest city in Siam.
It is not difficult to build a canning and beverage factory with technology, and Chiang Mai Province has a tropical monsoon climate, so there is a lot of local fruit production.
In particular, the Bawi family, one of the local snakes, is also a large landowner in the local area. They can purchase local fruits to make cans and juice, and then import glass bottles from the glass factory in Hongsawady.
In fact, among the costs of a bottle of beverage, packaging cost is the highest, accounting for 40 to 60% of the total cost, while the beverage itself only accounts for about 30 to 40%.
It seems that importing glass bottles from Hongsawady seems to be a very shameful act.
In fact, Qingye Group's glass factory in Hongsawady, taking a 500 ml glass bottle as an example, after adding the bottle cap, the cost is only US$0.012.
The retail price of a 450 ml bottle of Coca-Cola in Siam is 15 baht, equivalent to about US$0.45, but its production cost is only about US$0.045, of which the packaging cost is about US$0.032.
See the difference!
Even though the cost of glass bottles will increase by about US$0.01 during transportation, Qingye Group's glass bottles are still highly competitive.
What's more, glass bottles have another advantage, that is, they can be recycled and reused over the long term, which can further offset transportation costs.
Therefore, Qingye Group can kill other manufacturers through price wars.
Regardless of the cost difference of just a few cents, sometimes business competition is so cruel, and a cost difference of just a few cents means there is a gap in the pressure-bearing capabilities of both parties.
Liu Zhifan does not intend to only make juices and cans, carbonated drinks, tea drinks, and functional drinks will be involved one after another.
When the time comes, the 450 ml Coke in Chiang Mai soda will be sold for 10 baht a bottle, which will kill the entire market. As long as you don't lose money, you will sell it at the floor price.
Both Ba Wei and Liu Zhifan are very satisfied with this cooperation.
Especially Bawei, although this cooperation is Domino's order, the Bawei family can gain a lot of benefits from it, which reduces his resistance to joining the organization a lot.
But he didn't know that the biochip in his brain was subtly modifying his thoughts.
After the two parties reached a cooperation agreement, Liu Zhifan put an employee with a background as a spider web manager in charge of the Chiang Mai branch.
He quickly returned to Hongsawady.
At this time, the scope of influence of the Honsawady branch had expanded northward from the previous Tanintharyi Province to Mon State, Karen State, Kayah State and a small part of Shan State.
The nearest stronghold is less than a hundred kilometers away from the Golden Triangle.
To the north of Chiang Mai is the Golden Triangle region, and to the west are Karen State and Mon State, which happen to be connected together.
Glass products from Dawei Port can be reached by sea at Mawlamyine Port, the capital of Mon State, and then go north through the Salween River (Nu River) into Maisalyan in Siam, and then transported by road to Chiang Mai.
This route is only about 800 kilometers in total.
What's more, Qingye Group has already planned to prepare a second glass factory near Moulmein Port in Mon State. By then, the distance from the second glass factory to Chiang Mai will be further shortened to about 450 kilometers.
Therefore, Liu Zhifan stayed in Chiang Mai for two days and hurried back to the headquarters in Dawei to start preparations for the second glass factory in Mawlamyine Port.
Immediately afterwards, he passed a board resolution to invest US$10 million to dredge the lower reaches of the Salween River, increasing the navigable length of the Salween River from the previous 90 kilometers to about 300 kilometers.
Of course, these 300 kilometers include part of the tributary channel, and can only be used by ships of 500 tons.
If the navigation capacity is to be further improved, a dam must be built to reduce the drop in the river, make the water surface smooth, and increase the depth of the river.
However, investing in the construction of a dam is something that the Qingye Group cannot afford at this stage. Even if it secretly controls the finances of three states, it still cannot maintain such a huge project.
But this dredging will allow at least 500-ton transport ships to reach Siam, which will greatly promote the economic development of the two places.
the other side.
Qingye Group's glass products and beverages are also quickly blooming in the coastal areas of Hongsawady.
Cheap and high-quality purified water, juice, and glass products have brought a huge impact to the already industrially fragile Hongsawadi market.
The locals, whose income is already pitiful, don't care about sentiments or brands. In addition, prices in Hongshawadi are very high. Therefore, the low-priced and high-quality Qingye Group products are in short supply as soon as they are launched.
Especially within the control area of Qingye Group, once the products of other beverage factories overlap with those of Qingye Beverage, there is basically no room for resistance.
Relying on this price war, Qingye Group used the profits gained for expansion and mergers and acquisitions. In June alone, it annexed three small local beverage factories.
In addition, through the relationship between black and white, and through joint ventures and mergers, Qingye Beverage Company now has 12 beverage processing plants.
This snowball-like expansion has further consolidated the Qingye Group's local power.
After all, processing plants need employees, and fruits also provide channels for local plantations and farmers. Once this system takes root, it will be difficult for external forces to compete with Qingye Group.
