Rebirth: Super Banking System

Chapter 552: Chapter 459 The Second Investment Promotion Conference (Subscribe!)_1

This time.

None of the companies under the ’Myanmar Bank Group’ made an appearance.

Because the industries that need to be fully controlled by their own people had long been designated as reserved territories by Myanmar Bank, and the companies had already taken their positions, they didn’t need to seek investment for them. What they could offer for investment were only insignificant projects.

The primary goal of this investment promotion conference was not, in fact, to encourage them to invest and establish factories within the territory. This was only a secondary objective. Most of these people were businessmen from outside the territory and were far less obedient and loyal than those born and bred within the territory.

The main purpose of this investment conference was to complete the territory’s supply and sales chain.

That’s right.

It’s the supply and sales chain.

The full meaning of it includes the supply chain and the sales chain.

The supply chain includes the supply of various raw materials, the supply of industrial semi-finished products, the supply of services, etc. In the future, the territory will definitely need a large amount of external raw material resources because many things are simply not available within the territory.

The concept of industrial semi-finished products is easy to understand. For example, steel, aluminum ingots, tungsten and other industrial semi-finished products. The territory either does not have these, or the production is not enough. Although these things are considered industrial finished products outside, they are not possible to sell as such within the territory. Further processing is required, so all of them are categorized as industrial semi-finished products.

Service supply is the literal meaning, such as the outsourcing of the assembly of mobile phones or other items is one kind. There are also labor dispatch, design outsourcing, and many others. Some are not needed now, but the framework is being built in advance.

The sales chain, as the name suggests, is about selling things. The territory is not directly aimed at external consumers. Just like the cooperation with Keqi, they only produce, and do not intrude on the sales side.

And this time.

The territory was well prepared.

...

After dealing with all sorts of businessmen, Wangsa took Keqi to the front row.

All the businessman who came here had pre-registered, so everyone had a fixed seating plan. Naturally, Tang Kai, being a top-tier businessman, was seated in the first row. Wangsa and Keqi’s seats were next to him, and on the other side was Tang Liang, Wei Jun, and others.

This was the second time Tang Kai saw Keqi. He had first met him the previous night when he arrived at Wangsa’s camp. He quickly stood up. _{𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝒐𝙢}

"Young Master Keqi, hello," Tang Kai greeted respectfully. He, of course, knew how strong the Clay family was. He had heard that the Clay family had a trace of royal blood, and he didn’t know if it was true, but it was highly credible.

In a foreign country, he, being a Chinese, no matter how rich, could not be arrogant.

He was not Tang Qing. If he were Tang Qing, regardless of whether you had a trace of royal blood or were a member of the Thai royal family, whether they bothered about you would depend on his mood. If he was in a good mood and you were polite, you could be friends. If you were arrogant and refused to save face, then you should get lost.

Want to retaliate?

Come on, he doesn’t fear anyone.

In any case, the first to die will never be Tang Qing.

Of course, Tang Qing also wouldn’t be that obstinate. He wouldn’t wipe out a country’s royal family. That’s impossible. At the upper levels of the world, there are certain rules to the game. To destroy the flesh and blood is the last resort in a desperate fight, and if it happens, fear wouldn’t be evoked, but rather a united boycott by everyone.

The death of the lower class, doesn’t matter, they don’t care too much. But those global big shots absolutely do not allow the killing of top-level personnel, especially if they’re part of their team.

That’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed.

Therefore.

At most, Tang Qing would make them dread a little, causing them enough pain so they won’t dare to oppose him again.

"Boss Tang, sit down. How are the businesses? Have you selected the goods?" Keqi asked in a mild tone. As the next generation manager of the Clay family’s business, how could he not show some decorum?

Yesterday, he had heard that Tang Kai came to select goods and, naturally, asked about it.

Tang Kai sat down and said with a smile, "I’ve almost selected everything. My appraiser is still inspecting them. If there’s nothing else here, I will set off for home tomorrow."

During this period, Tang Kai came once again, and borrowed quite a lot of money. Finally, he managed to buy back about half of the items he had his eyes on in the warehouse. However, seeing the newly mined gems and jewellery slowly filling up the empty spaces, Tang Kai felt both pain and joy.

The pain was due to the money being tighter and tighter, but the goods being more and more abundant. The joy was that he was the first to choose these items, and he found it strange that the output of jade in the territory had suddenly increased so much in these days.

What Tang Kai didn’t know was that recently, as the territorial powers increased their infiltration and threats towards the surrounding forces, and the latter wanted to live in peaceful coexistence, they had handed over many of their production units to Ling at his request.

Especially the territories of Talents, which were infiltrated the deepest and were basically under the control of the fighters. All of Talents’ trusted subordinates had been sent back to be re-educated. Talents were also being confined, with fighters ’protecting’ him 24 hours a day.

The signboard of Talents.

Wouldn’t be able to move in the short term. Even if everyone suspected, and confirmed that Talents’ side was taken over by Ling, but as long as Talents was still there and hadn’t publicly declared surrender, all suspicions were only suspicions.

Therefore.

Based on the previous foundations, the production increased significantly, which was why Tang Kai felt that the goods were replenished so quickly.

"That’s good. I think I’ll be going back to Bangkok tomorrow. Would you like to go together?" Keqi asked.

Tang Kai nodded and said, "Sure, let’s arrange a time then."

"Okay."

Just then.

The noisy exhibition hall gradually quieted down. In just a few seconds, it had become almost silent. Tang Kai and his group swiftly turned their heads and saw Ling and his men walking in with uniform footsteps.

Their boots clicked against the tiled floor, producing a harmonious sound as if it was just one person walking.

Impressive.

That was the unanimous feeling amongst those present.

Everyone swiftly stood up. Being a crowd with all sorts of people, they didn’t understand the territorial customs, nor did they know if they should clap. However, under the influence of some, it was like a resounding applause filled the room.

Tang Kai and Wangsa also chuckled, going with the flow and joining the applause.

They clapped as well.

Tang Qing, who was in Bangkok, couldn’t help but laugh while watching this scene on his mobile phone. This scenario felt strangely familiar, as if officials were making a grand entrance. It was quite odd.

Ling’s expression remained unchanged as he slowly walked up to the podium. He lightly pressed his hand down and the applause ceased.

"Please take your seats."

Watching as everyone took their seats,

Ling got straight to the point and said:

"First of all, thank you all for attending our investment conference. Both your time and mine are precious, so I won’t bother with a long preamble. I’ll get to the point. We invited you here for one main reason: to attract investments. You’re all well aware that we’ve developed from nothing to what we have today. We’ve solved problems related to safety, currency, systems, infrastructure, and unified rights. The investment environment has greatly improved. However, due to our limited local resources, we hope..."

Ling went on speaking for about ten minutes.

He thoroughly praised the territory and briefly introduced its development history, including various economic data, industrial layout, and the strategy of Asia Dollar, leaving the listeners in a daze.

This data had never been released to the public before.

Now that they heard it...

My God.

Although they were somewhat prepared, the pace of this development was really too rapid. The self-sufficiency in numerous commodities, the substantial establishment of various factories, as well as the testimonials of many factory owners, all indicated that there were numerous opportunities here.

Looking at the project catalog handed down similar to the previous time.

All the businessmen who attended the last investment meeting were excited.

During this period of time, they had completely dismissed their concerns about losing money, as many factories had already started production and were profitable. Furthermore, the distribution of industry quotas by Ling ensured that there wouldn’t be the sudden emergence of massive competitors, effectively guaranteeing the sales of their products.

As the people in the territory were getting wealthier, their consumption concepts were quietly changing. They believed that under Ling’s leadership, they would definitely live a better life in the future. Therefore, those who had invested last time were now eager and prepared to secure more promising projects.

Couldn’t be helped, they only had one quota now.

Looking at the excited territory businessmen, many were unsure from where they got their confidence.

Looking down at the product catalog in their hands, many were unsure how to choose, as it seemed that the investments were all so large. Yes, this time’s projects were different from the last; many quotas of various industries had been taken up, and many high-returns, low-investment opportunities had been chosen.

What was left were some not-so-small investments, but the businessmen in the territory had already received Ling’s promise. They could use their existing factories as collateral for loans to make up for the equity capital they needed.

Otherwise.

This time they would really have to sit on the sidelines.

People like Tang Kai and Wangsa were also curiously looking at the list in their hands. Wangsa cared not about the price, but about the items on the list. Could Ling really provide all of these? With so much equipment, it didn’t look like they were going through Thailand. Where did they get them from?

Headache.

Tang Kai, on the other hand, was looking at the list with interest.

His investment was certain. Having gained so many benefits from the territory, as well as the sales agency rights for the fruit wine, he naturally had to give something back. He had already decided to invest around 10 million US dollars here.

He had also chosen his projects early on. Last night, he had a chat with Ling about this and Ling, at Tang Qing’s suggestion, directly gave him the list to choose from. In the end, Tang Kai chose a tire factory, a special metal product factory, and a lead-acid battery factory, with a total investment reaching 12 million US dollars.

Lead-acid batteries are primarily used for electric cars. Lithium batteries used for mobile phones are a controlled project. They have a wide range of applications, high profits, and the Myanmar Bank Group’s subsidiary company had already taken up this area.

Regarding these three projects.

Tang Kai wasn’t exactly expecting to make much money. He just wanted to build a good relationship with Ling. Whether he made money, and how much, didn’t matter.

However.

He was Tang Qing’s uncle.

Even if Tang Kai didn’t want to make money, Tang Qing would never let him lose money. On the contrary, he would make a lot of it.
