Codename Doctor, Moved to Hong Kong

Chapter 154: Introducing the DuPont Family
Zhang Chaoyang was not bragging about this. Ever since Shan Biao brought back the equipment of a light armored division, other forces in Kachin State have been sleeping with their eyes open.

I was afraid that as soon as I closed my eyes, the territory would be gone as soon as I opened them again.

Thirty thousand people and so many lightly armed weapons and equipment. Damn, the Japanese didn’t have such awesome equipment back then!
Neither did the Britons.

Ask yourself, if they have so much and such awesome equipment, they would definitely occupy the entire Kachin State and no one would be able to stop them.

In fact, doesn’t Zhang Chaoyang also want to occupy the entire Kachin State directly?
However, the time is not yet ripe.

When the war between the United States and China broke out in the Northern Peninsula, the attention of the whole world was focused on the Northern Peninsula.

He would immediately occupy the entire Kachin State.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved!

I don’t want the mine and steel mill I invested in to be snatched away by other forces just after they are built!" Garde said with a smile.

"Mr. Garde, you are worrying too much. No one in the entire Hongsavadi Federation can take your factory away from me.

I was in Southeast Asia, with eight divisions and 100,000 soldiers.

Although they are in three different countries, the Mekong River completely connects my four territories and the subordinates from the three countries.

If any place is attacked, reinforcements can arrive at the scene in as fast as five hours.

And they are equipped with the most elite American equipment." Zhang Chaoyang said confidently.

"Haha, I feel relieved when you say that!" Gard said with a big laugh.

Next, the two began to discuss the plan to build a factory in Kachin State in northern Myanmar.

“I plan to build a large steel plant here, which is not far from these eight mining areas.

It is entirely possible to carry out primary processing on-site after mining in the mining area, produce ore powder and then transport it to the steel plant.

But there is a problem here!" Garde said, pointing at the map.

"Mr. Gard, the problem you are talking about is about transportation, right?" Zhang Chaoyang continued with a smile.

"Yes, that's right! Northern Myanmar is good in every way, except that the roads are too difficult to travel on!"

“This is easy. Once we finalize the factory construction plan, I will arrange for people to build roads around the steel plant.

We need to build roads to the mines, as well as roads to towns, and roads to China and the Mekong River.

In addition, I have also arranged to expand the wharf on the Mekong River to accommodate 5,000-ton ships.

Also, since you plan to build a factory at this location.

Then we can simply designate this area as a steel industrial zone, and I will dispatch a regiment of troops to garrison here.

In addition, we can also build a chemical industrial zone here.

With the Mekong River nearby, there is no shortage of raw materials, and transportation will be very convenient! "Zhang Chaoyang said, pointing to the location of Shan State.

"Mr. Zhang, I agree with your plan to build a steel industrial zone here.

However, should the construction of the chemical industrial zone be slowed down a bit?
Should we wait until our steel industrial zone is completed and put into production before we start building the chemical industrial zone?
As you Chinese say, you can't eat a fat man in one bite." Garde hesitated and said.

"Garde, are you out of money?" Zhang Chaoyang teased with a smile.

In fact, what Zhang Chaoyang said is also a fact.

After all, Zhang Chaoyang had just borrowed money from Garde to purchase equipment for eight light armored divisions and eight warships, and all the money was advanced by Garde.

Although, only part of the payment was made in advance, and Garde also managed to obtain the rest through loans.

However, it also took up a portion of Garde's funds. "I am indeed having some difficulties with the funds here!

Recently, the trading company has occupied part of the funds.

The steel industrial zone here cannot be built and put into production in a short period of time.

If we build a chemical industrial zone, I won’t be able to make ends meet.” Garde could only smile bitterly and admitted that he had a problem with his funds.

“Haha, Mr. Garde, you are short of funds, but this is not an unsolvable problem.

You can definitely get a loan.

Do you want me to recommend a bank to you?
I am the largest individual shareholder of HSBC." Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.

It is definitely not possible to postpone the construction of the chemical plant.

The equipment must be shipped to northern Myanmar before October this year.

Otherwise, once the war breaks out on the northern peninsula, this investment might be wasted.

"Can you help me get a loan?

Mr. Zhang, if that's the case, why don't you do it yourself? "Garde looked at Zhang Chaoyang with some caution.

"Mr. Garde, I have no choice. To build an industrial zone, you don't just need money.

I don’t have the skills, nor do I have the connections to buy the relevant equipment.

So, I need Mr. Gard's connections and the technology behind them.

Of course, if Mr. Gard really doesn't want to, I won't force him.

I could have chosen someone else, like Angus Heartfilias of Great Britain, who I've been friends with for many years.

For example, Liad Freeman from Germantown, we are all good friends.

Or, Mr. DuPont from America, your cousin, must be very willing to cooperate with me." Zhang Chaoyang shrugged and said with a smile.

After Zhang Chaoyang finished speaking, he added, "Anyway, what we talked about before was the steel industry, and there was no agreement on the chemical industry.

If Mr. Garde is really in trouble, I can find someone else to cooperate with."

“Dear Zhang, don’t get excited!
I didn't say I wouldn't cooperate!
I did feel a little embarrassed because of the funding issue just now.

However, this does not mean that I do not intend to continue cooperation. The chemical industrial zone must be mine!"

“Mr. Garde, in fact, I suggest that you consider working with your cousin, Mr. Dupont.

As a business giant in the United States, the DuPont family possesses strong financial strength, rich business experience, and enormous political resources.

If we can get his support, our project will be more successful.

Of course, I am not forcing you to cooperate with Mr. Dupont.

This is just a suggestion, an opportunity for us to share the risks and benefits together.

After all, our goal is to build a successful chemical industrial zone, not just pursue short-term benefits." Zhang Chaoyang reminded with a smile.

"Well, Mr. Zhang is right, there is no end to making money!

I accept your suggestion. I will send a telegram to my cousin and invite him to come and inspect it.

We will continue the planning and construction of the steel industrial zone here." Garde nodded in agreement.
