Chapter 733: Chapter 636: Myanmar Military Services Company (Seeking Subscriptions!)_1
Actually.
To manipulate Myanmar’s loans in Asia Dollar theoretically isn’t difficult.
Just get them addicted to borrowing and they can’t stop. When they can’t pay back their loans, that’s when the harvesting begins. That’s exactly how the fellas in the United States and the European Union do it.
But there’s a prerequisite, which is the purchasing power of Asia Dollar. Purchasing power is not the value of a currency, it’s the ability to purchase goods and services.
After all, even if the Asia Dollar is valuable, if you don’t have much to sell to Myanmar and they can’t buy what they need elsewhere with it, only a fool would borrow Asia Dollar.
Not the time to operate an intermediary loan method like right now.
Tang Qing wouldn’t want to do it again.
This lending has essentially brought Myanmar’s debt size to an astonishing level. From a certain perspective, Myanmar’s government balance sheet will look terrible due to this loan.
If you want to borrow again at this time, the process would undoubtedly complicate things. If Ling insists or aggressively promotes, or even uses this kind of intermediary pledge method, it will undoubtedly have to make various countries suspect Ling’s intentions.
If it’s the first time, everyone can understand Ling to be considering Myanmar.
But for a second time, it feels like pushing Myanmar into a debt pit, bringing the motivation into question.
There’s just too much of a good thing.
Therefore.
Once is enough with this kind of thing.
Not to mention the low success rate if it happens again, it attracts suspicion.
So, the main task of the Myanmar Economic Special Zone is to continuously increase the ’purchasing power’ of the Asia Dollar, increase the supply of various essential goods and services, and become an output spot for commerce, services, and technology.
Although this path is long and arduous and can’t be accomplished over a short period of time.
Luckily, they have their hacks.
Without it.
Even with the Foreknowledge and Reincarnator’s insight, there would be no achievement without ten years of work. And even if it was achieved, there would be no way to resist Myanmar’s future counterattack or defaults on debt.
Only Tang Qing, with his cheat codes activated, can handle this and not fear their defaults. Let them try not to pay back the loans, see if he doesn’t grind them into the ground.
Thinking of this.
Tang Qing is amused.
A faint smile appears on the corner of his mouth.
It feels like heaven has been kind to him, allowing him to experience such an interesting life.
However, this smile was enough to stun the middle-aged female teacher on stage, thinking to herself: this young man, looking handsome to this extent, is a bit too much.
...
October 28th.
Two days after the video was topped on every website homepage.
Huaxia.
Shanghai Stock Market.
It’s four thirty in the morning.
In a high-end apartment,
Quan Yi is asleep in a warm blanket, woken up by the ringing of the phone. He gropes for the newly bought flip phone, without opening his eyes, he can find the answer key.
"Who is it?"
Quan Yi’s tone was not good. Even though his eyes were not open, he confirmed it was not dawn yet because he had just slept not too long ago, the fatigue can judge the approximate time.
"Quan Yi, wake up, big news, tomorrow’s headlines." A familiar voice comes through, the voice of the editor-in-chief of the news website he works for, sounding very rushed.
Quan Yi instantly wakes up.
Like a cat seeing a mouse, it was his own boss’ phone call.
"Editor Liu, what’s wrong?" Quan Yi asked curiously.
Editor Liu responded quickly, "That video, go to Tudou now and watch that mine-clearing video again."
"What is there to watch? Haven’t we watched it many times already?" Quan Yi was confused.
"No more nonsense, it’s different now. Enough said, just watch it quickly. I want results in two hours." After Editor Liu finished talking, he didn’t wait for Quan Yi’s reply and abruptly hung up.
"I..." Listening to the busy tone, Quan Yi had a lot of complaints.
Quan Yi was inexplicable.
What is the editor-in-chief doing in the middle of the night?
What is there to watch?
But he still opened his computer and went on Tudou.
The top video was still that one, almost five million views, far ahead from the second place. Due to the media hype in these two days, many people came for the name, resulting in an increase of over a million views.
In this era.
The internet is still in its infancy.
And the internet bandwidth speed is frustratingly slow.
The video content services are limited.
Even the largest video sharing site in the country, Tudou, can only be described as ridiculous.
Over a million user views are already an astronomical number.
The several million views seem obviously brushed up, but unfortunately, no one thinks there’s anything wrong with it. Without this video, many people probably wouldn’t know that there are so many dangers underground.
This gave the video website a chance to advertise. The website traffic increased by 15% in these two days. In this era, traffic equals money, equals streams of advertising fees, equals valuation.
In short, this time it’s a win-win situation. The tech department had no thought of taking down the short film. There’s no need to cut off the money, right?
Quan Yi clicked on the video.
Watched for a while.
Quan Yi frowned, there’s no change, it’s still... huh?
Quan Yi suddenly realized that the video had an additional ten-odd seconds. His memory was good, he remembered it well, this was somewhat inconceivable. An uploaded video could add time?
But it seemed... technically it wasn’t too difficult.
Quan Yi fast-forwarded it.
To where the previous introduction ended.
Quan Yi felt a bit of the excitement of playing a mystery game. For the past few days, there had been no clues on the authenticity and producer of this object. Some netizens even theorized that it was the combat suit of a force in Myanmar, but they couldn’t provide any images as evidence.
So, no one believed them.
The person who had made the claim was even upset and argued endlessly about it.
But no one took notice of him.
The person remained speechless, as the soldiers of the Myanmar Economic Zone rarely appeared in public view. Moreover, there were regulations within the special zone that strictly prohibited taking pictures of soldiers, weaponry, and military buildings.
If anyone was found doing so,
They’d be arrested on the spot.
As no related images had leaked out yet, the person eventually gave up on the argument. They had no desire to risk taking prohibited photographs. Not to mention that they didn’t even know where to find the military base.
The moment of revelation had arrived.
Quan Yi really wished he had some popcorn at this moment.
At the end of the previous announcement, a new narrator’s voice appeared: "The TLP-2 Mine-clearing Vehicle is a product of the Myanmar Military Service Company. We are currently accepting global "non-combat zone" minefield clearance cooperation. Interested parties can visit the website on the screen for details. The Myanmar Military Service Company is born for world peace."
Just like that, it ended.
Quan Yi was a bit speechless.
Although the slogan sounded reasonable, it also made no sense. A military service company promoting peace is like selling weapons to prevent wars. However, this mine-clearing vehicle did indeed reduce casualties.
As for the ’non-combat zone’ restriction,
Quan Yi could understand. Mines have always been defensive weapons, widely used in ’war zones’ around the globe. Particularly in the Middle East, these are used primarily for defensive purposes.
If you engage in mine clearance, it’s as if you’re intervening in the war.
Without hesitation,
Quan Yi promptly opened the website.
In an instant,
A clean webpage appeared before his eyes.
There were language selection options in the top right corner, including all national languages. The interface was in Chinese, which Quan Yi wasn’t surprised by. The segmentation of IP addresses worldwide was already allocated, and it wasn’t difficult to identify the language by IP.
In the top-left corner, there was a logo that read ’Myanmar Military Service Company’. The logo was simple, featuring a green and red shield with a black and white image of crossed swords and guns at the center. Quan Yi gave the logo a perfect score.
Despite its simplicity,
For some reason,
The visual effect was extremely pleasing to the eyes. The graphic designer had a masterful grasp of color and visual aesthetics. It turned an ordinary logo into something aesthetically pleasing.
In the middle of the webpage, an introduction appeared.
Myanmar Military Service Company
Established on September 1, 2005, committed to minimizing the harm of wars on humans through technology. Registered Location: Myanmar - Myanmar Economic Zone – Xin’an Town.
The company is now selling ’LLP-2 Mine-clearing’ minefield clearance services. Interested parties are welcomed to attend the press conference held in Xin’an Town at 10 AM on the 31st. Services will be provided based on the order of bookings.
"..."
Quan Yi gave zero points to the introduction.
It didn’t say much and talked about a press conference. It was too troublesome. Who would attend such a thing? Mayweather Economic Zone sounded familiar though. He seemed to have read about it somewhere else.
Suddenly,
Quan Yi entered the name into Baidu’s search engine.
In an instant,
A bunch of news articles popped up.
After reading a few lines, Quan Yi immediately understood. This was the place that produced fruit wine. Previously, due to the fruit wine’s detoxification effects, Ling was heavily criticized by western media.
However, domestic news remained rational.
Everyone expected a fierce battle, but there was practically no follow-up. They were perplexed about what had happened.
Qui Yi followed up on the news later, not expecting that place to be taken over by Myanmar. A Myanmar Economic Zone was newly established, which seemed to be an official institution. Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to use ’Myanmar’ in their name.
But who cares?
He wasn’t a journalist.
Even if he needed to go, he would send a journalist. It had nothing to do with him.
Right away, Quan Yi started to get busy. He easily wrote an excellent report. Truth be told, this line of work was pretty routine. There was a fixed format for the text, all you had to do was fill it in.
Straightforward.
In less than half an hour,
Quan Yi finished it and submitted it after checking.
Even though it was still early morning in Huaxia, it was late afternoon in the West. As a result, the western media, which prided itself on the timeliness of its reporting, hurriedly aired this breaking news on TV just ten minutes after the video had come out.
The report was rational.
Fair and balanced.
Even supportive.
Or, you could say... timid.
They had information channels Quan Yi could never compete with.
Since three of the top 10 assassin organizations across the globe were wiped out in just a few hours, news about Ling had been in their sights ever since. But they mainly kept tabs on him. They never really planned to cause any trouble.
They didn’t have a choice.
They were scared, too. So many assassins died, and there hadn’t been any news for two months. There was no word on the murderer either. It had become a mysterious case puzzling assassins and the media alike.
They had known that Ling had surrendered to Myanmar, which had led to him getting a deputy head position there. They also provided him with a stable development environment and a proper identity. Ling, however, remained the actual in-charge of that territory.
With the foundation of fruit wine,
It wasn’t too hard to believe that they had come out with a mine-clearing vehicle.
So,
They didn’t say anything outrageous.
Instead, they took a neutral stance... and heaped praised lavishly.
