The older one is called Ge Dan, the ’younger’ one is Sang Jin.
Although it was dark by the time they entered the territory, it did not prevent them from sensing the civilized atmosphere here.
Especially in the town, even though it was dark, people were working under spotlight, numerous generators hummed while providing electricity, like making concrete, often done at night so that workers can continue the job the next day, not affecting other procedures.
Compared to towns in Myanmar, Xin’an Town is larger and more ’modern’. Houses in many parts of Myanmar are still made of grass or bamboo, bricks are only for the rich to afford.
The entire Xin’an Town was designed according to modern urban standards from the beginning, all brick houses, using frame and brick concrete in two ways, these bricks were produced in the territory, very simple, just fired in the kiln, unlike cement and steel, which require a lot of heavy equipment and processes, much more complicated.
These red bricks are made of high-quality sticky soil, which is precisely why red bricks would be restricted in the future. Red bricks must be made of farmland’s sticky soil, the more fertile the soil, the better the quality of the bricks. This is not a small amount of damage to farmland, so the government gradually restricted the use of red bricks, but the prohibition is hardly effective.
However, Ge Dan and Sang Jin were not too surprised, because they had already learned about the news here, but they were not allowed to take pictures here, so they could only record what they saw first.
Looking at the ’Ling’ in front of them, the two of them felt a strong soldier’s breath.
And a sense of danger.
But they didn’t come here to fight, so the two were not afraid.
"Leader Ling, hello, we brought some domestic specialties this time, I hope you won’t mind." Ge Dan respectfully presented the gift with both hands, an old-fashioned sandalwood box, which looked quite expensive.
And indeed it was. In dealing with such rich people, ordinary gifts would be a disgrace. Inside was a whole set of ivory products, a masterpiece made by an artist in Myanmar, it was worth a fortune.
"Thank you, you’re too polite."
Ling took the box and set it aside, with no trace of delight in his expression or intention of opening it.
Seeing this.
Ge Dan was uncertain whether Ling was satisfied or not, but the main subject was more important, so he spoke: "Leader Ling, I believe you have a rough idea of why we have come here. Let me just say it straight, I would like to ask you first, what is your view on our government in Myanmar."
Only by clarifying the sides can we talk about interests.
Ling paused for a moment, then responded: "It’s quite good over there, having a long history and a deep cultural heritage. People live peacefully and happily there, the administration is clear, it’s a great place. I would love to visit if I get a chance, of course, only after the road between us is completed."
In the face of Ling’s ’praise’, both of them felt a bit embarrassed. Despite the high praise, even the leaders there can’t be convinced without any real actions, so it sounded more like sarcasm.
The two can only respond with bitter smiles.
Ge Dan continued: "Leader Ling, our country has already learned about you. We heard that you have opened the Myanmar Bank here and issued the Asia Dollar. You have cut down all the flowers and solved the problem of Naidan, the evil-hearted man. We really admire you for that."
According to social etiquette, it’s always right to start with compliments.
"No, we are just a group of ordinary people striving for a better life for ourselves out of self-interest. We don’t care about being noble or not." Ling replied indifferently. Flattery is useless to robots.
Hearing this, the two felt embarrassed. Ling didn’t just play modest as expected, at least he could have pretended to be serious and righteous.
It seems that Leader Ling is a person who sees the ’essence’ directly.
This kind of person.
Is hard to fool.
Ge Dan composed his thoughts, gave a universally recognized thumbs-up, and said with a smile: "Leader Ling, you are really straightforward. Seeing your actions here, I am sure you will not fight against us like they do." He finished with a nervous look on his face at Ling.
The answer made him sigh with relief.
"Of course not, we are only interested in legitimate money, not targeting anyone, and we have no interest in opposing you." Ling shook his head and said.
Facing the ’profit-seeking’ Ling, Ge Dan felt a bit tricky and said, "Leader Ling, I’ll just say it straight. We have some suggestions, that are about you and Myanmar Bank."
"Please go ahead." Ling motioned with his hand.
"It’s like this, Leader Ling, we want to form an alliance with you. You know, those forces in Myanmar are too rampant, they’ve been planting those evil things, harming people all over the world. But because of some internal reasons, plus the complex terrain, large equipment can’t get there, so we’ve been in a stalemate for many years without any success."
We hope you can resist these hateful local forces with us. If it’s necessary, we can have Thailand provide weapons for you, and provide commanders and staff, but we won’t directly send soldiers to fight.
If you agree, in the future, the supplies you need, we can let Thailand provide them to you at a discount, so you won’t have to smuggle as you do now, we will give your trade port a legal status.
As for Myanmar Bank, we want to buy it in full. You name the price, and it will be easier for you to buy things later." Ge Dan said a lot, all was proposed by Yangon.
