Codename Doctor, Moved to Hong Kong

Chapter 168: Showing off muscles and seeking cooperation

The original owner naturally wouldn't follow any rules when it came to foreigners.

Half of the businessmen present here today were established with the original owner through various means and schemes.

Then, we slowly cooperated and built closer relationships with these people based on the idea that everyone could make money.

In the end, after seeing the original owner's methods, they all became good friends and good partners with the original owner.

“I’m glad to see you all, too!
This time, I invited everyone to come here on the opening day of my Crystal Palace for future cooperation.

Let's discuss future cooperation together." Zhang Chaoyang said to everyone with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang, what industry are you in now? I don't know, are there any opportunities for cooperation?"

“I am currently working in a variety of industries!
In Hong Kong, I am engaged in shipping, international trade, real estate, film and television, and entertainment city.

In addition, Mr. Gard and I established an industrial base in northern Myanmar, formed an armed force, and controlled more than a dozen gold, silver, copper and iron mines.

A steel mill is being built over there." Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.

At this time, you can't be humble with these foreigners. You must show your muscles when it's time to do so.

The foreign devils are all barbarians who fear power but not morality.

Only if you demonstrate your strength will they be willing to cooperate with you.

As soon as Zhang Chaoyang finished speaking, a slight discussion broke out at the scene.

These businessmen are well-informed, but they were still shocked by the strength demonstrated by Zhang Chaoyang.

Establishing an industrial base and possessing armed forces in a chaotic place like northern Myanmar is definitely not something that an ordinary businessman can do.

"Mr. Zhang, this is indeed a big deal!" A businessman from Europe stood up and paid tribute to Zhang Chaoyang, "Being able to own your own armed forces and more than a dozen mines in a place like northern Myanmar is no small business!

Back then, when I was in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, I knew that Mr. Zhang was different from other Chinese people.

I didn’t expect that after just a few years, Mr. Zhang has grown to where he is now.”

"Thank you for the compliment," Zhang Chaoyang smiled and waved his hand. "Northern Myanmar is rich in resources, but the situation is chaotic. We hope to contribute to the development there through our own efforts."

"Mr. Zhang said it well. We also want to make some contributions to the development of northern Myanmar. I wonder if there is any opportunity?" Everyone laughed and said.

Everyone knows that the so-called contribution is nothing more than plundering covered with a legal and beautiful coat.

They did the same thing in China back then.

“Of course there is a chance!

As long as everyone has the willingness, there will definitely be opportunities for cooperation!
Northern Myanmar is very large, and the territory I control is also very large, and there are many investment opportunities!

Some other day, I invite you all to go to northern Myanmar for a field trip, or you can go there based on your own circumstances.

Choose the direction of investment." Zhang Chaoyang laughed.

Northern Myanmar is so poor and chaotic. Are there any investment opportunities? Is it profitable?
Of course there is!
For some businessmen, the poorer and more chaotic the place, the greater the business opportunities.

As mentioned earlier, China is the largest market in Asia.

Some people argued that China had just been founded and was so poor, how could it be the largest market?

In a few decades, it will be about the same.

It depends on how you look at it.

It's like a fable that's very popular in sales circles.

Two people who were buying shoes came to a place and found that everyone there was barefoot.

A shoe seller saw it and left disappointed, thinking that no one here wore shoes, so he would not be able to sell them. Another shoe seller saw it and was immediately surprised, thinking that no one here wore shoes, so this was a blank market.

As long as everyone here buys a pair of shoes from him, he will have no problem selling his shoes.

This shoe seller spent some effort to tell everyone the benefits of wearing shoes and guide everyone to wear shoes.

Sure enough, all his shoes were sold out, and not only that, he also gained a huge market.

That is, if you look at the problem from different angles, you will get different answers.

In the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, was China poor? Was it chaotic?
Aren't there still many foreign businessmen flocking to China to look for business opportunities and sell their goods?
Next, Zhang Chaoyang asked about everyone’s current situation.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, it can at least give us some understanding of their situation.

"Everyone should know that my principle is win-win cooperation, and we all make money together!

I, Zhang Chaoyang, only know two words: fairness! Fairness! It’s damn fair!

So, everyone can rest assured, as long as you trust me!

Regardless of everyone's abilities, I will cooperate fairly.

Let everyone make money!" Zhang Chaoyang promised loudly.

With Zhang Chaoyang's promise, everyone became more interested and started to speak up, seeking cooperation with Zhang Chaoyang.

As mentioned before, although these people are only town- or county-level businessmen individually, when they are combined, they have great power.

Soon, several cooperation intentions were reached.

Of course, this is just an intention of cooperation. The subsequent specific cooperation will naturally be negotiated by Chen Chuan and others.

In the evening, Zhang Chaoyang hosted a banquet at Zhang Mansion to welcome everyone.

The next day came in a blink of an eye.

Victoria Harbour was bustling with activity and excitement.

The sound of gongs and drums was deafening and the sound of firecrackers rose one after another, forming a symphony of celebration.

A lion dance team is performing on the pier. They are dressed in brightly coloured lion costumes and dance vividly.

The lion was seen jumping nimbly, leaning forward lightly, and rolling on the ground, looking very vivid.

The height they jumped to amazed the onlookers, who applauded and cheered continuously.

On the side, the members of the gong and drum team were also putting in their best efforts. They waved the drumsticks and gong hammers in their hands and beat them with all their might to cheer for the lion dance team.

The passionate drum beats seemed to penetrate people's hearts, making them feel extremely excited and thrilled.

A bamboo archway was also built on the pier, covered with bright red cloth, creating a festive and mysterious atmosphere.

This is the traditional lion dance ceremony, which is meant to bring good luck and prosperity to the newly opened Crystal Palace.

The whole scene was extremely lively and filled with the strong flavor of traditional Chinese culture.

After a fight between the two lion dance teams, one lion finally won and picked the green.

The victorious Lions team naturally has a prize, which is a gold brick weighing one pound, which is also the treasure they are fighting for.

The so-called Cai Qing is actually a fight for lucky money. Lucky money can be various items, but in many cases, lucky money is just a head of lettuce (to make money).

Therefore, people call the activity in which the two lion dance teams compete for the red envelopes "Cai Qing".
