After watching the news.
Wei Jun glanced at his watch.
"It’s about time."
Having said that.
He called his driver and went out.
Today.
Tang Kai’s plane would arrive in Xin’an City, and he needed to go and welcome him, because they had agreed to have dinner at his place tonight. To match Tang Kai’s schedule, Wangsa also arrived today.
The aim was the same.
The stock market.
To support Ling while also making some money on the side.
Indeed.
When he reached the airport, he saw Wangsa’s car. Since it wasn’t far away, Wangsa generally preferred to drive directly from Thailand, and the Special Zone even gave him a special diplomatic license plate.
Easy to recognize.
A domineering army green "March" armored vehicle.
Just changed last month.
This vehicle,
in this area,
is much more famous than a Mercedes-Benz or BMW.
Because Ling, all the deputy leaders of Myanmar, as well as military and business tycoons all use this vehicle. It’s constantly seen on TV, with nearly everyone from the upper class of the nation driving one—the symbol of status goes without saying.
He has one too.
But seldom drives it.
Too ostentatious, he only drives it to show support occasionally. Typically, he drives other car models from Myanmar. He’s utterly confident in the security here; there’s no way anyone would dare to rob him with a gun.
And Wangsa, driving this car,
Isn’t afraid of being too conspicuous?
Of course not.
With Wangsa’s background, there was no fear of anyone causing him trouble. In August, Wangsa’s father was promoted to the second-highest position in the Thai military, a man of great power and influence, and one should never underestimate the Thai military.
Outsiders may not understand.
But Wei Jun is very clear.
For these years, the Thai military has held nearly all power, with even the Thai government having to listen to them. If the military ever feels the current authorities don’t align with their interests, they can easily push them out.
And replace them.
Not by dictating who,
but by telling the Parliament—"You all elect someone else."
That’s how domineering they are.
"Uncle Wangsa."
Wei Jun got out of the car and respectfully greeted him.
Seeing Wei Jun,
Wangsa also acted as if seeing a junior.
"Here you are, your Uncle Tang said he will arrive in five minutes."
"It seems I’m late."
Wei Jun felt a bit embarrassed.
"No, his plane is quite peculiar, feels like as soon as it takes off, it’s flying at full speed, and this time it didn’t follow the schedule." Wangsa had been ’suffering’ because of this.
Several times he went to pick someone up,
The timing was always uncertain.
"That’s true too."
About ten minutes later.
They saw Tang Kai coming out from the special passage, accompanied by four bodyguards, the familiar Liu Qian, and two people he hadn’t seen for a long time, Chai Ren, as well as several strangers.
This time.
There were quite a few who took the Shunfeng flight.
Coming along.
Were Zheng Lin and Bao Kaiyu and the others, with nothing better to do, they came to join in the excitement. If not for Tang Kai’s plane, it would have been tough for them to buy plane tickets, unless additional flights were added.
Although domestic flights to Xin’an City totaled forty-seven a day, tickets were sold out four months in advance, most of them for medical treatment, and a few for tourism.
Chai Ren wasn’t here for the first time.
Seeing Wangsa,
he immediately whispered to Zheng Lin and the others beside him: "Pay attention to the manners later, the Thai man next to the ’March’ vehicle, named Wangsa, has a deep background. He’s Tang Kai’s biggest business partner, and their relationship is very good."
"How deep?" Zheng Lin asked curiously.
"Wangsa’s father is the current head of the Thai Army, second only to one and above tens of thousands. How deep do you think?" Chai Ren explained. He had previously seen the transactions between Tang Kai and Wangsa.
They were also old friends.
Before long.
Both of them were riding on Ling’s coattails.
Skyrocketing to success.
Even he,
Wouldn’t dare to underestimate such people.
Indeed.
Hearing this, several faces became serious, especially Bao Kaiyu and Zhai Zhihua, who didn’t know before that Tang Kai had such connections. If you add in his connections in Myanmar, he’s really got an extensive reach.
"Commander Wangsa, Xiao Jun, this time I’ve brought a few friends..."
As for new friends,
Wangsa naturally welcomed them.
Having more friends means more paths to take. After some pleasantries, everyone got into the cars, and soon they arrived at Wei Jun’s ancestral home. By then, the servants had prepared an abundant feast.
"Here’s to our triumphant start!"
Tang Kai toasted.
"Make a fortune." Wangsa laughed loudly.
...
That afternoon,
Tang Kai went to inspect the company and factory on this side.
Wei Jun accompanied Wangsa to play chess.
And Chai Ren,
Was responsible for taking a few ’newbies’ out for a tour.
In Xin’an City downtown.
The three of them were somewhat incredulous; this city had way too many people. Just in one day, the city’s revenue would be immense. Passing by a luxury store, they noticed a queue that had formed inside.
"Is everyone this rich?" Zhai Zhihua exclaimed in surprise.
Chai Ren shook his head.
"Of course not, but a significant portion are wealthy people from around the world or related family members who, after recovering, worry about relapse and end up staying much longer than planned."
"Fresh out of a long illness, we Huaxia people like to indulge in good food and drink, and splurge. These people are no different. When they feel better, they also have the spending power. Besides, after a brush with death at Ghost Gate, they become less attached to material possessions."
"That’s why, buying these things is just a minor matter for them. Previously, when those tourism real estates in Myanmar were opened, they sold out almost as soon as construction started. To get the privilege of immediate medical treatment, they don’t even blink at spending millions on houses and villas."
Speaking of this,
Chai Ren felt a bit pained.
He had missed the last auction.
Who knows when the next opportunity would come.
"This place is going to make a killing." Zhai Zhihua commented,
"Isn’t that the truth? None of these items are less than 10,000 RMB, yet these people grab them as if money doesn’t matter," Bao Kaiyu observed through the shop window, witnessing this lavish scene.
"Is this some kind of revenge spending?" Zhai Zhihua bitterly joked.
Chai Ren nodded: "More or less."
"I bet the GDP growth here this year will look very impressive." Bao Kaiyu asserted.
"More than impressive, do you know how much their GDP growth was in the third quarter?" Chai Ren sighed, still finding the figure he had seen somewhat unbelievable.
"How much?"
"Tell us."
"Year-on-year growth rate, 476 percent." Chai Ren said with emotion. At first, that figure had dropped jaws, but other than locally, it was not widely reported abroad.
It’s simple.
That data came out a few days ago.
Back home, everyone was shocked by Tang Qing’s net worth of 3.9 trillion RMB, the media had no shortage of material, and the public didn’t care how amazing another country’s GDP was. At the same time, the western media was hyping up ERV’s smartphones.
Not many people knew about it.
"..."
The two were simply stunned.
Fake, right?
476 percent?
I could believe 100 or 200 percent.
But 476?
Where did you rob it?
"Don’t disbelieve it. The tourism real estate alone sold for over hundreds of billions of Asia Dollars earlier. Then, for these real estate developments, businessmen threw in thousands of billions of Asia Dollars."
"Moreover, with the Myanmar Medical Group attracting so many people, the consumption alone is considerable, plus the foundational infrastructure. The donations to the Myanmar Medical Foundation from various countries are also included, the 476, doesn’t contain much fluff."
Chai Ren analyzed one by one.
The two had to believe it.
"This defies the heavens."
