Chapter 1132: Chapter 990: A Simple Effort
October 14th.
Friday.
Today was the day of the "Dialogue" recording.
Tang Qing took an early morning flight from Sanya, arriving in Beijing close to eleven. Chai Ren picked him up at the airport. Last night, Chai Ren’s daughter was born, and he had barely slept.
Tang Qing had told him to just send someone over.
But Chai Ren insisted on coming himself.
He said mother and child were safe, everything was good.
Besides, it was only half a day accompanying Tang Qing; in the coming two months, Chai Ren would be at home anyway. By now, his house was nearly filled with family and relatives, and the activities at the Zhan Xi were all taken care of by his sisters-in-law.
Hearing this,
Tang Qing also smiled.
This family truly had a good relationship, without the typical infighting seen in large clans.
Seeing Chai Ren insist,
Tang Qing did not try to persuade him further.
"Chai Da Shao." Tang Qing gave Chai Ren a hug.
"Brother Chai looks well." Lin Jiaxue nodded slightly with a faint smile.
"Little Tang, you’ve become a celebrity, must be troublesome when you go out," Chai Ren teased, noticing Tang Qing’s appearance—casual clothes in a deep blue hue, sneakers, a standard crew cut, and a pair of coffee-colored sunglasses.
It was lucky that only photographs of Tang Qing had been leaked, with no videos.
Otherwise, he definitely would have been recognized.
Beside him, Lin Jiaxue wore the same style of sunglasses as Tang Qing, looking stunning. But however beautiful she was, she didn’t compare to his own wife, yes, and his own daughter.
Because—he was now a father.
Tang Qing shook his head, "Next time I’ll grow some beard, probably no one will recognize me on the street."
"Growing a beard would definitely be more handsome," Chai Ren gave a thumbs up.
"Heh, I’ll give it a try next time," Tang Qing also felt his current image didn’t match that of a ’domineering CEO’ but rather resembled a ’fresh-faced young man.’ A bit of beard wouldn’t hurt, considering he had always been clean-shaven.
"Let’s go, Little Tang, sister-in-law, get in the car. We’ll have lunch at the Autumn Palace, the house is too crowded now, I’ll take you there in the evening," Chai Ren’s house was constantly visited by well-wishers.
"Okay," Tang Qing nodded.
They all got into Chai Ren’s car.
Driving on the streets of Beijing.
The sunlight was bright and sunny.
Tang Qing rolled down the window, and a warm breeze blew in. Winter was approaching fast here; he had heard on the news that in some parts of Xin Province, it had already started snowing.
"How is it, this time is different from the last, isn’t it? Beijing’s air is much better now thanks to those filters, I reckon in two more years, there won’t be any more smog, those things really are amazing," Chai Ren praised.
In response to the policy,
Chai Ren’s car had been fitted with an exhaust filter.
"It is quite nice."
Hearing praise for his family’s filters, Tang Qing smiled.
"Right, I heard your second uncle took on a contract to manage post-installation service for Huaxia’s filters, looks like your uncle has quite a strong relationship with Myanmar Bank," Chai Ren mentioned seemingly casually.
Tang Qing was not slow to catch the implication in his words.
"Not bad, as you might know, my second uncle was among the first members of the Myanmar Asia Chamber of Commerce, whose president is the current head of Myanmar Bank, they often interact and mingle, so naturally, they get along well. What’s up, is there something?"
"You little monkey, haha."
After laughing,
Chai Ren spoke up.
"It’s like this, the current acting president of Myanmar, the former governor of Myanmar Economic Zone, has a strong reform consciousness, and, sure enough, soon after ascending to office, he implemented even more open and bold economic stimulus policies."
"During this time, he made significant changes to Myanmar’s import and export policies, increasing the importation ratio of minerals and other raw materials, but limited the importation of steel and steel structural products with the aim of encouraging the use of Myanmar’s domestic products."
"Now that Myanmar’s policy has tightened, I’m thinking of investing in the establishment of a steel factory there. That way, we can supply locally, which would save on costs and better adhere to their policies.
But in Myanmar, companies in the steel business are all somehow linked to Myanmar Bank Group. That is why, firstly, I’m looking to see if I can join their supply chain system, and secondly, I’d like to get acquainted with the higher-ups at Myanmar Bank."
Chai Ren revealed his reasons.
Myanmar. 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
A neighboring country of Huaxia.
They are undergoing economic reforms similar to what Huaxia experienced; this is an opportunity, one Chai Ren does not want to miss, or rather, one the Chai Family does not want to miss and not entirely for their personal benefit.
An important goal: to establish even closer ties with the Myanmar Bank.
Huaxia had known this early on.
The Myanmar Bank Group is Ling’s industry.
Ling is now rising against the trend.
And has topped the charts.
It was thought that after Ling took power, there would be certain restrictions on the Myanmar Bank.
After all, the Asia Dollar and the Myanmar Bank Group were both engaging in ’illegal’ activities. The Asia Dollar challenged the status of the Myanmar Kyat, and the Myanmar Bank Group challenged the asset ownership model promulgated by the Myanmar government.
But.
It’s been so long since taking office.
Not only has there been no weakening, but there has even been reinforcement. It was assumed that there would be a rescue of the Myanmar Kyat, but now, step by step, the Kyat is being brought down, and just last week, Myanmar officially announced:
Myanmar allows the Myanmar Bank to establish branches anywhere within Myanmar territory, to conduct banking services, allows the general public to open Asia Dollar accounts, and to freely exchange between the Myanmar Kyat and Asia Dollar within the bank."
This utterly improbable event has actually happened.
Time and time again, impossible events occur.
Many people have seen the signs.
-----Ling’s speaking power is extremely heavy, and he can even dominate the direction of Myanmar’s national policies with his solo effort.
It can be foreseen.
That in the future.
The influence of the Asia Dollar in the Asian region will increase.
The Asia Dollar has already attained the status of regional trade settlement currency and has even made layouts in Africa. With such an ambitious neighbor, the Chai Family takes on the task of ’establishing personal relations.’
It wasn’t explicitly said.
But the Chai Family could understand.
So.
Chai Ren was ready to start with Tang Kai.
In their intelligence, the relationship between Tang Kai and Ling was unbelievably good, and while there was no word of private dealings, the exclusive contracts for jade, fruit wine, the construction of Xin’an City, and the status as one of the first members of the Chamber of Commerce, etc.
All pointed to a very special relationship between the two parties.
On Huaxia’s side, only the Tang Family had the deepest connection with that side, thus, Chai Ren thought about inquiring and then going to find Tang Kai.
"The first issue is not a big problem, there they have loosened the restrictions on the import of raw materials, encouraging businesses to use the minerals of other countries to protect Myanmar’s native forests, you have so many mines, the application will certainly pass."
"As for the second one, it’s a bit more difficult, banking executives there seldom entertain, however, if there is anything, it can be done through my second uncle, he has some clout over there." Tang Qing said.
"That’s the only way then, I hope to be included in the next invitations to the Myanmar Asia Chamber of Commerce, even your Uncle Liu Qian received an invitation this time, it made him quite happy." Chai Ren had no other choice.
The ’task’ had just been given, and he had no time to prepare.
Who could have expected before that Ling would rise to power.
The merchants who join the Myanmar Asia Chamber of Commerce.
Represent recognition by the Myanmar Bank Group.
One step further, it is recognition by Ling, these businesses have a very special status in Myanmar, whether in policy or finance, they receive treatment comparable to domestic state-owned enterprises.
Like this steel factory, if you are a member of the Chamber of Commerce, the entire construction would not even need a penny of your own, as the loan limit for Chamber members could offset a large part of the investment in the steel factory.
The rest.
The other banks in Myanmar would be able to fill in for him.
Chai Ren also just learned this from Liu Qian, Liu Qian, to expand production, invested in a large copper cable factory, a cement factory, and a transportation company within Myanmar territory.
He didn’t spend a penny himself.
And didn’t use any collateral.
Liu Qian directly borrowed four billion from the Myanmar Bank and another three billion in Asia Dollars’ worth of Myanmar Kyat from another bank in Myanmar, and now he is sharpening his knives, ready to make a big move in Myanmar.
Hearing this.
Tang Qing watched out the window with a smile.
The quota for Liu Qian was specially approved by him, the main purpose was to increase the strength of the people around him a bit; his first pot of gold was earned through exchange with Liu Qian, a businessman with a bottom line.
He was not bad to him.
Just a quota.
A piece of cake.
