Chapter 669: Chapter 573: You are a Wolf, then the Sheep is... (Subscription Requested!)_1
Quickly.
Su Yu’s subordinates agreed one after another to go into business.
To be honest, although they are Su Yu’s confidants, the money they have in hand is not much. Now, there’s an individual money-making opportunity before them, of course they would grasp it tightly.
Ling didn’t mention the establishment of a district as these individuals were evidently not suitable for administrative duties, nor were they willing to learn.
Thus, apart from knowing the part related to themselves, the development and construction of the territory, the establishment of administrative institutions, and so forth, have nothing to do with them. Ling did not want to waste words on this.
"Leader Ling, I wonder how much severance pay there is and what amount of loan will you also provide. Besides, may I know in advance what project you have for us?" one man questioned.
He didn’t ask about the treatment of soldiers or the arrangement for their subordinates. He didn’t care if their subordinates received any severance pay. What he cared about was his own interests.
Su Yu is the captain and cares whether the ship will sink or not. But they don’t have such enlightenment. Anyway, this place belongs to Su Yu, and to put it nicely, they are but working vassals.
Since Su Yu has agreed, they have no choice but to go their own way.
Ling nodded and said, "Your status is similar, so the severance pay is three million Asia dollars per person, and the loans are only commercial loans. This money can only be spent with us, but the money your company earns in the future can be exchanged for any foreign currency.
As for the project, rest assured, as long as you follow the rules and do business properly, without creating disturbances, a life of riches will be guaranteed."
A life of wealth.
How tempting.
With Ling’s affirmation, people below didn’t ask any more questions. They also knew the value of the Asia Dollar, which is similar to RMB. Even converted to US dollars, there would still be more than three hundred thousand US dollars.
Strictly speaking, such a severance pay was actually a bit too high.
But in order to quickly convince these people, printing this money is basically a piece of cake. These people cannot exchange the money for foreign currency even if they have it. Although they can indirectly exchange it for foreign currency, they will not succeed.
The command room will not be stingy in allocating profitable projects. For these projects, their money is definitely not enough. They definitely need to borrow. And before the Asia Dollar loans are repaid, their money is not allowed to be exchanged.
Even if they leave in the future.
It is just a few tens of millions in total.
At that time, the value they create will have far exceeded many times the tens of millions. Is this still money? Besides, after living so well in one place for so many years, they really had no need to leave here.
Seeing that they had no more questions, Ling continued, "Since everyone has agreed, the next step is the handover. I cherish efficiency in handling affairs. So before dusk this afternoon, I hope to complete the handover of command rights for all soldiers. The rest is our business."
This is the power structure of a force like Su Yu.
Speaking with fists entirely, without dedicated administrative staff, maintaining rule simply by the people and firearms at hand. As long as these people are settled down, everything is settled.
Later.
The soldiers of the territory followed them to hand over the command rights.
Only Su Yu and his wife and Ling were left in the hall.
Of course, Ling’s personal guard was still there.
"Leader Su Yu, this will be a bit of a bother for the next few days. Once the command rights of the soldiers are handed over today, the task of relieving the soldiers, selecting them, and the layoff work would be done tomorrow and the day after. My men will immediately start the census and firearm collection. After this, I will leave." Ling said.
"No trouble at all, you can stay as long as you like. When will officer Ling announce the matter of forming the district?" Su Yu asked curiously. He even changed his ways of addressing Ling because he knew that his era was over.
"I will officially start this matter when I return from Yangon." Ling said. Su Yu would have known sooner or later about him going to Yangon. It might be better to tell him in advance to avoid him getting any ideas.
About others.
They no longer have the rights to command soldiers and guns. Even if they have ideas, it is useless as no one would pay attention to them.
Why tell Su Yu? Because it is hoped that the territory will be good, considering the people, only Su Yu’s family does that. Su Yu, as the future deputy leader of the territory, cannot have misconception about it.
As expected.
Hearing this news, Su Yu blew up.
"What, you’re going to Yangon? You...You..." Su Yu’s face changed drastically. Going to Yangon? Coming back? Could it be that they were tricked, and the chess player behind them is from Yangon?
Thinking about it.
A sense of anger surged in his heart. If he was tricked like this, it would be too damn foolish. Su Yu’s wife’s face did not look good either, covering her mouth, having the same guess as Su Yu.
Seeing Su Yu’s face suddenly change, Ling, afraid that he would faint from anger, immediately said, "Leader Su Yu, you’re overthinking it. We’re not from Yangon. If we were, you wouldn’t be here now."
This statement is a bit hurtful, but Su Yu couldn’t pay attention to it. When hearing Ling’s denial, his anger faded gradually, but he still felt uncomfortable in his heart, he interrogated, "Leader Ling, I believe that you can bring a future to my subordinates and the people. Why do you have to deal with Yangon? I hope you can give an explanation."
"Leader Su Yu, do you know why I have to go to Yangon?" Ling did not answer directly, instead he questioned.
"I’m not clear." Su Yu shook his head.
Ling said, "Simply put, we need a legitimate reason, a reason that legalizes our transactions. To put it seriously, we are currently unrecognized forces, and doing business with any country has a discrepancy in identity. To obtain equal trade opportunities, we need a reason."
"Then...I..." Su Yu was not sure how to rebut, because what Ling said seemed somewhat reasonable, but also somewhat far-fetched.
"I know your father’s generation was a nemesis in Yangon, you feel a bit uneasy, but there’s one thing I hope you can understand, we are not a power willing to submit.
Plus, by cooperating this time, we can gain considerable interests. As for what kind of interests, I apologize that I can’t tell you in advance, but I can assure you.
We are wolves, you join a wolf pack, and Myanmar is just prey, like sheep. The rest you are not yet qualified to know, but as long as you perform well, you will know in the future. Please keep this confidential."
Su Yu was baffled by Ling’s words.
"Wolves...sheep?" Su Yu muttered under his breath.
Ling is a wolf and Myanmar is a sheep.
This metaphor.
Su Yu couldn’t react, when wolves and sheep come together and wolves want to cooperate with sheep, then what do they want to do? Isn’t the goal.... Su Yu’s eyes widened.... to eat the sheep.
Looking at Ling.
Su Yu was filled with terror.
If taken literally, Ling’s intention is certainly not small, the wolf eats the sheep, the wolf eats the sheep.....
These words reverberated in Su Yu’s head.
He took a deep breath, looking at Ling’s calm face, Su Yu knew he could only choose to believe, and at this point, he had no choice but to believe, but it was too shocking.
"Are you serious?" Su Yu, swallowing his saliva, asked with a shiver.
Ling nodded. Su Yu may have misunderstood the true meaning, but he couldn’t possibly explain the specific details to Su Yu.
"Of course it’s true, and please don’t leak it, otherwise, I can tell you very responsibly, I will deny saying it, and the consequences will be serious." Such boastful words are not suitable for spreading before the plan succeeds.
Su Yu fell silent for a minute, also looking at Ling for a minute.
"I believe you, what do you need me to do?" said Su Yu.
Ling shook his head and spoke, "Nothing in particular, I will take care of the details, you just need to do your job well. Before officially starting the creation plan, it would be best if you learned about management and economics, otherwise, your work in the future might be quite strenuous."
Su Yu nodded, admittedly, he lacked knowledge in these areas.
"I understand."
Su Yu, having straightened out his attitude, started a conversation with Ling.
When he found out that the corporate assets of Myanmar Bank had already exceeded 150 billion dollars, Su Yu truly believed Ling’s words. With this money, with this power, Myanmar is no more than a pauper.
...
After lunch.
Ling turned out to be a guest at Su Yu’s home, sipping tea and discussing future work as he considered his involvement in such a grand plan, Su Yu was quite excited.
If it succeeds.
He could imagine.
The region would become another miracle in Asia, a bright jewel.
And he, Su Yu.
Would be a participant in this miracle. He also asked what Ling was going to talk about in Yangon, but Ling didn’t answer, merely saying it was a good thing. Su Yu also suggested someone else go, saying Ling didn’t need to take the risk personally.
But Ling didn’t care at all, it felt like he was just going to someone else’s home.
Su Yu didn’t know where this confidence comes from, but he should find out soon. Ling has already tacitly admitted that there are people behind him, he doesn’t believe that Ling would strike unprepared.
Ling also gave Su Yu a complete set of all the current laws, regulations, and basic information about the industry system in the territory, which is not too much and needs further improvement. He asked Su Yu to familiarize himself with it.
As for the complete plan for the creation of the region, it hasn’t been completed yet, and people from the command center and Myanmar Bank Group are working hard to finalize it. So far only the selection of the city building site, new town planning, partial reconstruction of old towns, and road bridge planning have been done. The whole thing will take about another week.
Su Yu was so engrossed in the files that he gradually understood the system of the region, and recognized the difference between professionals and amateurs, feeling as if he was opening a new world.
Especially the regulations punishing criminals, he was utterly amazed at the idea of having them work as punishment for their crimes. Not willing to work? That’s fine, provided you have the courage to kill yourself.
Unfortunately.
Few people had the guts to do such a thing, most preferred to live a dishonest life, hoping for the chance of a prison break, and ultimately had no choice but to obey orders and undergo labor reform.
