Chapter 1231: Chapter 1088 Don’t Do Anything Foolish! (Subscribe please!)
"If the two provinces were to merge into the Myanmar Economic Zone."
... Su Yu became more and more excited as he thought about it.
This meant that Pan Cong and Dsvid would be his direct subordinates, and the policies of the Myanmar Economic Zone could benefit more people, after all, the legal system here was vastly different from that of Myanmar.
It was particularly evident in civil law.
Property law.
Public security management law.
Resources.
Energy.
Business.
...
The Myanmar Economic Zone had a completely independent legal system, very different from other regions, but it had proven that this legal system was an outstanding one.
Everyone inside would benefit from it.
Except those who disobeyed the rules.
Su Yu hoped it could be promoted throughout Myanmar.
But.
That seemed impossible.
It could only be promoted in the territories of Dsvid and Pan Cong, since these areas had little to no law before, mainly enforced by the authority and power of the two men.
Therefore.
These places were more likely to accept the policies of the Myanmar Economic Zone.
...
Walking on the street.
Dsvid and Pan Cong felt a strong sense of security.
They encountered the security patrol team all along the way.
Although not yet operational.
The security team was already officially at work, with a security pavilion at every few crossroads. After Su Yu’s explanation, the two understood that this was not really about any security issues.
Troublemakers.
Either they would be as meek as a cat due to fear.
Or they had left the Special Zone.
Those with guts were all in the mining areas.
This was just a "multifunctional convenient service station."
The service station was not very large, all with uniform specifications, generally capable of accommodating twenty security personnel for office work, mainly responsible for patrol and consultations, and also for maintaining order at the crossroads.
After wandering for so long.
It was now noon.
They were ready to find a Hotel to have lunch.
As they passed a restaurant that had already been renovated.
"Director Su Yu, hello."
Someone came running out from inside.
He was immediately blocked by security personnel a few meters away. Su Yu looked carefully, recognized him, and responded with a not very fluent but clear enough Chinese, smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Yu."
He remembered his name was Yu Tao.
He owned a Chinese restaurant in Xin’an City, and Su Yu had eaten there a few times, mainly when doing business with Chinese entrepreneurs who treated guests, but he dared to eat there only when members of the Myanmar Asia Chamber of Commerce invited him.
Others.
Were categorically refused.
Boss Tang had taken him there a few times before, so he had some impression.
"Director Su Yu, have you eaten? If not, we would be delighted to welcome Director Su Yu here," Yu Tao said enthusiastically.
Su Yu asked doubtfully, "Are you operating early?"
"No, no, no, we wouldn’t dare do so without the city’s approval. We just made the place decent, it’s just for our employees to eat, not open for business. If you haven’t eaten, I’d like to invite you to try our new dishes."
Yu Tao hurriedly explained that it would not be until early next month that Xin’an City would allow official business. He didn’t have the guts to open now, otherwise, the hard-earned shop might no longer be his.
Now.
He was eagerly watching all the people here.
He managed to obtain this not-small shop because of his good tax record.
As long as he operated diligently.
Making money was not difficult.
Regarding the environment here.
He was very satisfied.
If it weren’t for the prohibition of foreigners buying property here, he would have liked to buy a suite, as the potential for appreciation was surely great, but it seemed the Special Zone had no intention of getting into the real estate business, stubbornly holding onto the land without selling.
Many international developers planning to develop real estate here were at a loss.
They simply had no scope to operate.
He could only rent a place to live.
However.
The lodging conditions here were quite good, especially in Xin’an City, offering standard rental rooms with complete sets of furniture, and it wasn’t expensive, more welfare-oriented.
Su Yu nodded, "New dishes? I’m indeed interested. What do you think? Would you like to try some Chinese food?"
"Hehe, sure."
"Alright."
Pan Cong and Dsvid didn’t mind.
"Then please trouble Mr. Yu," Su Yu turned and said to Yu Tao with a smile.
"No trouble, no trouble, please." Yu Tao was overjoyed. He was buried in business, but he inevitably paid attention to local news. Su Yu was not just the director of the Myanmar Economic Zone, but also the deputy chief of Myanmar.
A true big shot.
They led them to their seats.
Yu Tao went to the kitchen.
He hurriedly said to the employees who were dining, "Quick, finish lunch as fast as you can, and prepare a few of your best dishes. A big shot is coming, and I need you all to perform your best."
"A big shot? Who is it?"
"The district head Su Yu who visited our restaurant before," Yu Tao explained.
"Is it him?"
The chefs were shocked by the mention of such an influential person in the country. They quickly finished eating, prepared the materials, and for some fresh ingredients that were missing, Yu Tao even called to have someone from Xin’an Town drive them over.
"Everyone, be quick, I’ll go out to greet the guests."
"Alright."
"Don’t worry, boss."
"We won’t embarrass the restaurant."
"..."
Yu Tao walked out.
But he did not dare to interrupt.
He simply instructed the waiter to pour tea.
Walking alongside Su Yu were not the few deputy district heads commonly seen on TV, but judging by the entourage of over twenty accompanying persons, it was clear he was no ordinary figure.
"Do they stay here often?" Dsvid glanced at Yu Tao at the reception.
Su Yu nodded.
"Here, we offer foreign businessmen a temporary residence permit, usually for half a month. But for those like them who work and live here for long periods, there are permits available for six months to a year of varying levels."
"Before the permit expires, if a renewal is needed, one must re-register at our civil administration office, and must have a fixed job and business. Those unemployed can only switch to a short-term residence permit."
"That’s quite strict," Dsvid remarked.
"We have to be strict. We are responsible for the security of everyone in the Special Zone. Otherwise, allowing just anyone to stay here for long periods would increase many security risks."
"The biggest security risks are not even foreigners since they’re quite restrained, unfamiliar with life here. The more troubling ones are people from other parts of Myanmar, even including people from both your places," Su Yu explained.
"Uh..."
Dsvid and Pan Cong exchanged looks.
They were helpless.
Their subordinates were mostly uneducated and used to shirk their responsibilities. Now, after laying down their weapons, they roamed around, causing trouble—most were fine, but a few were unruly.
"Education is really important," Dsvid said with a bitter smile.
Pan Cong nodded in agreement.
At that moment,
a Chinese man walked into the door.
Seeing Su Yu and his group,
he paused,
then quickly approached Yu Tao, a look of disbelief on his face.
"Brother Yu, don’t do anything foolish."
"What’s wrong with me?" Yu Tao asked, bewildered.
"Well, you know your place isn’t allowed to operate right now," the man said nervously.
Yu Tao suddenly understood.
So it was about that.
He couldn’t help but laugh and cry. The man in front of him was from his own village and had come here to do business upon his recommendation. However, having just arrived, he had no qualifications to acquire a shop in Xin’an City.
He had only taken over a shop space in Xin’an Town.
That was a local’s shop space.
As he also got a store in Xin’an City, he transferred it out, so this man was not familiar with Su Yu. Yu Tao pulled him into the kitchen, "I’m not operating, just hosting a tasting."
"A tasting? Is that alright?" The man was puzzled, feeling that Yu Tao was exploiting a loophole.
Yu Tao chuckled.
"Cut the questioning."
"Tasting."
As Su Yu, who had the authority to interpret the law, dared to come in, how could Yu Tao be in trouble?
"This, is it really okay?" The man was still very worried about Yu Tao.
"Haha, who do you think those people outside are? If it were my friends, I’d surely host them in the kitchen. But that man is the top authority in the Myanmar Economic Zone. If he says it’s fine, what can’t be?"
Yu Tao laughed heartily.
"The district head here?" The friend was amazed.
Yu Tao nodded.
One of the chefs added, "Not just the district head, but also the newly appointed deputy chief."
"You know him? That’s amazing."
The friend was astonished.
Yu Tao was just a small business owner, how could he have contacts with such a high-profile figure?
Yu Tao shook his head.
"I’ve met a few times, not familiar, but if we’re talking about someone with great influence, it has to be Tang Kai, Boss Tang from the fruit wine business. He’s the most powerful among the Chinese businessmen here..."
...
After lunch.
Pan Cong and his group continued their tour.
But not in Xin’an City, rather in other places—factories, borders, agriculture, rural areas... Any place Su Yu thought well of, he took them there. It was Ling’s order.
As they traveled.
Their mindset had undergone considerable change.
