The Ambani family acted quickly and established the West India Power Company the next day, planning to invest 100 billion yuan with the goal of fully unifying the power grid on the west coast.
By the time Zhang Hao left, the power company had added more than thirty new shareholders, including an obscure state-owned investment company.
The company holds ten percent of the shares.
Although the shares are not very large, the most important point is that no matter how many shareholders the West India Electric Power Company adds, this share will never be diluted.
In short, everything is progressing rapidly and steadily according to Mr. Ambani's design.
In the next half month, the inspection team visited five cities along the coastline. There were not many big cities on the Indian peninsula, and most of the areas were divided up by the fort masters, so there was no need for inspections.
April 3rd is Zhang Hao’s 43rd birthday.
It was also on this day that the inspection team arrived in Yangon, Myanmar, and officially began its Southeast Asian itinerary.
Early in the morning, Yang Huaqing personally cooked a bowl of longevity noodles for her husband. The noodles were ordinary dried noodles, paired with garlic fried bacon, tea eggs and fish balls. Although the recipe was simple, it was full of home flavor.
Zhang Hao ate so much that he even drank all the noodle soup in the end.
While Yang Huaqing was clearing away the dishes, he couldn't help complaining: "Can't you take a day off today? Consuls are also human beings, and they also need a day off."
"The schedule has been arranged in advance. I can't delay everyone's time just because of me, right?" Zhang Hao shook his head helplessly.
"Forget it, I can't beat you." Yang Huaqing sighed, and then changed the topic: "By the way, Guoxuan secretly told me last night that the boss has a girlfriend."
"Is this kid finally enlightened?"
Zhang Hao smiled happily.
Yang Huaqing looked sad: "To be honest, I would rather he wake up later."
"What's going on?" Zhang Hao couldn't help but be stunned.
"Well, by the time I finish what I said, I guess you won't be able to laugh anymore." Yang Huaqing paused and then revealed the answer: "The boss's girlfriend is a married woman."
"What? What's wrong with this brat, why would you want to learn from Cao Cao?" Zhang Hao's good mood suddenly disappeared.
Although he is very indulgent towards his children, it does not include violating public order and good customs or being morally corrupt. This is the most basic principle of being a human being.
"What kind of mess is this?"
Yang Huaqing didn't know this story.
Zhang Hao suppressed the anger in his heart and asked about the specific situation. The boss had been relatively stable since he was a child, and he didn't want there to be any misunderstanding.
Yang Huaqing pulled out the chair, sat opposite her husband, and introduced in detail: "The woman's name is Mitsui Mie, she is 25 years old..."
"Japanese?" Zhang Hao couldn't help but interject.
"Yes, and she is a daughter of a famous family. Her grandfather is the current chairman of the Mitsui Group, her father is the general manager of Mitsui Shipbuilding, her mother is from the Hyundai Group, and her uncle is the head of the Hyundai Group."
With the help of the Special Intelligence Bureau, Yang Huaqing had already investigated the other party's family background.
Since the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano, although Japan and South Korea have long been in decline, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Especially after the two families formed an alliance, they are a presence that cannot be ignored in the entire federation.
Zhang Hao lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked: "Who is Mitsui Mihui's husband?"
"It's Goo Soo-hyun, the grandson of the current chairman of LG Group. According to the investigation, the two of them belong to a family marriage. The two have no relationship foundation at all. They usually live their own lives without interfering with each other." Yang Huaqing replied.
"How did the boss know this girl?"
Yang Huaqing smiled bitterly: "What a coincidence, Mihui Mitsui also graduated from Xia Qing University. She stayed at the school directly after graduation. Her boss chose her elective course, and fell in love at first sight. In the end, she was actually pursued by him."
"Even if you are a married woman, you still have a teacher-student relationship?" Zhang Hao didn't know what to say.
"Husband, how should we handle this matter?"
Yang Huaqing carefully probed.
There are too many forces involved here, and if one is not handled properly, it will cause great harm to the children and the husband.
"How far are the boss and the other party going?"
"Already living together."
"So fast? When did they start?" Zhang Hao asked in surprise.
"It only started this semester, but young people nowadays are generally more open-minded, and two or three months of dating is not a short period of time."
Zhang Hao snorted coldly: "Does the boss know Mitsui Mie's family background?"
"You should know it. Mitsui Mie's identity is not a secret. Many people in their school know it."
After all, the Mitsui family is no longer what it used to be. They are just an ordinary wealthy family now, and there is no need to hide it.
"Then he still dares to find a married woman?"
Zhang Hao said angrily.
Yang Huaqing helped to persuade: "Young people, when love comes, you can't stop it."
"What was the reaction of those families?"
"Speaking of this, it's strange. Mitsui Mie's husband and her parents' families didn't react at all. They seemed to acquiesce."
"Default?" Zhang Hao was suddenly shocked, "Are they setting a trap for the boss? Are they deliberately approaching him?"
"That shouldn't be the case, right? If it's a set-up, then it should be arranged with an unmarried person."
Yang Huaqing felt that it was unlikely.
Moreover, according to the investigation report, Mitsui Mie has been a good girl since she was a child, and she does not look like the kind of person with scheming intentions.
Zhang Hao nodded: "What you said makes sense. It seems to be an accident."
"Husband, if...I mean if...the other party doesn't object, should we..."
Yang Huaqing didn't want to separate the two of them.
Zhang Hao waved his hand: "It's too early to say this now. The boss is probably hot-headed for a while. Maybe they will separate after a while. Let's not interfere easily for the time being to avoid backlash."
As a father, he still hopes that his son can find someone to marry with an innocent identity. It doesn't matter his background, just like Guan Tong.
"I don't think it's that easy. Boss, this is your first love. First love is always unforgettable. It's better for us to prepare early."
Yang Huaqing retorted subconsciously.
Zhang Hao's face was impatient: "I don't care about this matter, but you still help me give that Mitsui Mihui a message. If she really wants to be with the boss, then divorce her as soon as possible."
"Husband, if the boss really marries Mitsui Mie, will it have a big impact on you?"
Yang Huaqing said with concern.
Although she doesn't understand politics, she also knows that this kind of marriage between wealthy families is not necessarily a good thing.
"Do you even need to ask? Of course it will have an impact." Zhang Hao said angrily, "I originally thought that the second child would be out of touch and might cause a big disaster one day, but I never expected that the one who cheated me would end up being the one who cheated me.
It’s the boss.”
This matter is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. He already has the support of the Europeans. If the Japanese and Korean joint consortium is added, Ji Zhangqiu and Fan Zhenxiang will definitely react violently.
"What should we do?" Yang Huaqing asked worriedly.
"Cold salad." Zhang Hao spread his hands.
"Are you still in the mood to joke?"
Yang Huaqing rolled his eyes.
"What else can we do besides cold salad? We can't beat the couple with a stick, right? I would rather not be the consul than do anything that would sacrifice the boss's happiness."
Zhang Hao spoke with great care and sincerity.
Yang Huaqing let out a long sigh after hearing this.
…
After breakfast, everyone in the inspection team took the shuttle boat and landed together.
Also traveling with him were Yang Haoxuan and Little Bess. During this period, he had been busy taking care of his son. He was so tormented by the little one that he wanted to take the opportunity to go out and relax.
In fact, Yangon is not a port city. It is about fifty kilometers away from the coastline. Local officials have built a wide avenue on the dry river bed.
Looking at the large areas of deserted fields on both sides of the road, Yang Haoxuan couldn't help but wonder: "Brother-in-law, is there no one here in Yangon? You see so many wastelands, and they are just so abandoned? Isn't this too wasteful?"
Generally speaking, land near the coastline is very valuable, especially plain terrain, which can save a lot of construction costs, and is almost in short supply.
"The population here is indeed not large. There are currently less than one million people in Myanmar as a whole. Most of the people have fled to Sumatra. The climate there is warmer and at least people can't freeze to death."
Zhang Hao replied casually.
The coldest place near the equator does not exceed minus 10 degrees Celsius, and heating is not even needed, which greatly reduces the difficulty of survival. It is the first choice for many people to immigrate.
"Ah this? Can Indonesians agree?"
"Of course I don't agree, but it's useless. Indonesia has too many people to protect itself and is unable to stop foreign refugees. Later, after more than ten years of disputes, they voluntarily gave up Sumatra Island and fully retreated to Java Island. Finally, the two sides finally
A balance was achieved.”
Yang Haoxuan said in surprise: "Is there still such a period of history? It doesn't seem to be reported much in the news?"
"What's there to report? Every day you kill me and I kill you?" Zhang Hao said perfunctorily.
There are too many similar incidents. The central government can't take care of it at all, and it probably doesn't want to take care of it. Anyway, there is only so much food allocated. Whether they can survive depends on who has a harder fist.
Yang Haoxuan shook his head, and then brought the topic back: "Brother-in-law, didn't you say you wanted to develop Southeast Asia before? Is there any investment value in Yangon?"
"What? You want to invest?" Zhang Hao said unexpectedly.
"Well, didn't you suggest that Nana open a clothing store before? We discussed it privately and decided to do foreign trade. After all, local competition is too fierce."
"You two are very ambitious!"
"Hey, don't we have children now? We want to start a business seriously and leave more wealth for little Beth and Pippi to save them from hardship in the future."
Yang Haoxuan explained casually.
Pippi is the nickname of his son. His eldest name is Yang Jinzhi. His father gave it to him personally.
"You don't want to work in a museum anymore?"
Zhang Hao asked casually.
Yang Haoxuan looked up to the sky and sighed: "I think things are too idealistic. I am a layman and don't even know the basic history of ancient Egypt. Studying the ancient Egyptian civilization will only make people laugh."
"It's good for you to know!"
Yang Huaqing smiled happily.
It's different now that I'm a father. My brother has matured a lot.
Zhang Hao did not express an opinion, but answered the previous question: "Yangon does not have investment value for the time being. It takes time. I suggest you go directly to Lijiapo. Lijiapo is the headquarters of the entire Southeast Asia region and has more opportunities."
"But there are many opportunities and fierce competition, right?"
Yang Haoxuan sighed.
Firstly, they have limited funds; secondly, they don’t want to be too high-profile and cause trouble to their brother-in-law.
Zhang Hao thought for a while and said: "If you don't want to compete, I suggest you just build a small cotton planting factory in Yangon..."
"Hey, isn't there chemical fiber? Why do we have to work so hard to grow cotton?" Yang Haoxuan expressed confusion.
In the past ten years, due to the shortage of raw materials and the rapid advancement of related technologies, chemical fibers have completely replaced cotton, the traditional raw material.
"Things are rare and valuable. You can create a high-end brand around cotton. You should not worry about the market. Moreover, by setting up factories overseas, you can avoid strict local supervision and have more autonomy."
Yang Huaqing wondered: "Why do we have to put the planting factory in Yangon? Can't it be done in other cities? Isn't Hanoi closer? It's easier to manage?"
"I've thought too much. Let me tell you this. In the future, the entire Southeast Asia, including New Zealand and Australia, will be almost the same as the mainland. Only when we leave the Strait of Malacca can we truly become overseas."
Zhang Hao explained patiently.
"I understand." Yang Haoxuan said with enlightenment, "But brother-in-law, growing cotton should require a lot of investment, right? Can I borrow this..."
"Look for your sister. Your sister is now in charge of housekeeping."
Zhang Hao waved his hand.
Yang Huaqing hesitated: "You and Nana have no experience at all, how can this be done?"
"This is not a big problem. The Academy of Agricultural Sciences should have a complete set of planting technologies. As long as you are willing to spend money, everything will not be a problem." Zhang Hao advised.
"Sister..." Yang Haoxuan pleaded with his eyes.
Yang Huaqing was still a little worried and turned to look at her husband: "How is the security here in Yangon?"
"Don't worry, there are troops stationed here and there won't be any chaos."
Zhang Hao nodded and reassured.
"Okay, you can borrow money, but you have to agree on one thing first. You and Nana must stay in the mainland. As for Yangon, let your brother-in-law help you find a reliable person in charge." Yang Huaqing made his request.
.
Transportation is inconvenient now, and she doesn't want her younger brother and sister-in-law to be away from their parents for many years.
Yang Haoxuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed: "No problem, we don't want to stay in Yangon and suffer."
As a result, the matter of building the factory was decided. As for the specific matters, I am afraid that we will have to wait until we return to our homeland before it can be officially launched.
…
An hour later, Yangon was faintly visible.
The whole city is really desolate, with only sparse lights in the huge urban area.
After entering the city, looking around, there were not many pedestrians at all. There were ruins everywhere, as if they had just experienced a tragic war.
Yangon Mayor Feng Guohai and a group of official employees stood in front of the city hall to greet him personally.
"Consul, madam, an emergency just happened. I really can't go to the port to greet everyone. Please forgive me."
Yang Huaqing smiled and nodded, saying it didn't matter.
Zhang Hao asked directly: "Tell me, what happened?"
