    When everyone in the room heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. They naturally knew that what Chen Zaixing said was true. This kind of thing had happened in other countries in Southeast Asia, but if Chen Zaixing wanted to control the Myanmar market, there were still several problems.  "Master Chen!" An old man in brocade clothes stood up: "Before we talk about business, I have a few questions to ask you first!" Chen Zaixing smiled and said: "Haha, we are talking about business today, just ask me to resurrect!  "The old man glanced at Chen Zaixing, lowered his head and said, "You don't dare. According to what the adults said, you want to unite all the merchants and set a unified price, but you can't stand other people doing this business, even Shunhua?  The company has the exclusive right to trade in Myanmar, but everyone knows that this is a piece of fat, will anyone want to take a bite? " "Hehe, the old man is worried, but please don't worry, I have a plan!  "Chen Zaixing said with a smile: "This Shunhua Company is not just owned by Chen's family, the Burmese royal family is also one of its shareholders. In other words, whoever goes against Shunhua Company is also going against the Burmese royal family." At this point,  Chen Zaixing's tone was full of murderous intent: "The Princess Regent has agreed that any import of Shunguo goods must be approved by Shunhua Company. Otherwise, the goods will be confiscated and the person will be punished as a thief! Please rest assured, everyone is under the Queen Mother's will."  We have all seen it. Stability is the top priority when it comes to Myanmar. Even if the powerful people in the DPRK and China want to intervene, they must consider it. After all, Myanmar is just a vassal state. If things get too big, the huge power may not be preserved.  Stop him!" After hearing what Chen Zaixing said, everyone was relieved. As Chen Zaixing said, after all, Myanmar is not the territory of the imperial court. Even the dignitaries in the imperial court would not reach out there for a few dollars, otherwise  If the feudal state rebels, it cannot be covered up.  Chen Zaixing saw the relieved expressions on everyone's faces and said with a smile: "Everyone, if you have any questions today, just let them know so that you don't get into trouble later. I won't admit it!" Everyone was made to laugh by Chen Zaixing's joke.  The atmosphere in the room also became lively. A middle-aged man stood up and said: "Mr. Chen, I run a textile factory. I heard that the climate in Myanmar is hot. Can my business be successful?" "It is indeed true in the south of Myanmar.  The climate is hot, but the central and northern parts are much milder, and the plateau areas are still very cold in winter. Besides, even in the south, you have to wear clothes. How can there be no business? " "That's good, more and more factories have been opened in recent years.  The more we have, the bigger the factory becomes. However, the cotton cloth produced is not unsaleable, and the price has dropped dramatically. The best Songjiang cloth only costs four coins a piece. This is great! "That man!  At this point, he asked: "Sir, cotton is cheap. If the freight is too expensive, this business cannot be done. Is your road to Myanmar by land or water?" At this point, the chatter and laughter in the room stopped.  , everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Zaixing's face. Most of the cloth, silk, pottery and other businesses these people do are groceries. The profit per unit volume is not high. If the freight is too expensive, I'm afraid it will be  Not worth it anymore.  Chen Zaixing coughed lowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is exactly what I am going to say. According to the peace treaty just signed, the British have obtained the Ayeyarwaddy Province, Yangon Province, and Arakan Province in Lower Burma.  Most of the coastal provinces of Myanmar. But there are still some coastal provinces that belong to the Kingdom of Myanmar. I will consider the issue of routes after I go back. But -" At this point, Chen paused: "This is not a long-term solution. You should know that according to the peace treaty.  According to the content, the Kingdom of Myanmar only has a maximum tariff of 7% on imported goods from the UK. With such a low tariff, it is difficult for Dashun to take advantage of it, so I plan to find opportunities to amend the treaty in the future, or use other methods to prevent the UK from doing so.  However, there will definitely be a conflict with the British, and the British will probably retaliate by cutting off the sea routes. " "Another way?" "That's right!" Chen Zaixing said with a smile.  He stood up and opened the curtain on the wall, revealing a map of Southeast Asia. He drew a line from Shanghai from the sea to the southeastern coast of Myanmar and said: "Look, this route passes through Singapore. The British  It's easy to cut us off. So I plan to find another way." At this point, Chen Zaixing turned his finger to Kunming, and then drew a line from there to Mandalay, and then the line extended to Yan'anqiang and finally to Yangon.  "I plan to build a railway from Kunming to Yangon. In this way, not only will the whole of Burma be connected to Dashun, but the British will no longer be able to blockade through Singapore. Our goods can be transported to Yangon by rail.  Then ship it to all parts of the world!¡± ¡°Sir, is this okay? Build a railway to Yangon, but you just said that Yangon has been ceded to the British? Will they let you build this railway?¡±  "Then what?What?  Originally, the British took over Rangoon. Can't we take it back?  How many people are there in the UK?  How many people are there in Dashun?  Why should they have a hand in all the good places and good things in the world?  Is there any truth in this world?  I have also dealt with them in Myanmar, but it was nothing more than this. If we give us another ten years of accumulation and ten years of lessons, we will definitely be able to take Yangon back!  ¡± Everyone in the room was stunned by Chen Zaixing¡¯s grand idea. Is it something a businessman can imagine to occupy a country and build a railway? Not to mention going against the world¡¯s most powerful country, the United Kingdom, this young man in front of him  Are people crazy? "Ahem!  "A voice broke the silence in the room, but it was Liu Zhiping who had been sitting aside who spoke: "Mr. Chen, we are all businessmen, and what we do is to trade our capital for profit. We don't understand what you are talking about.  Even if I understand, I don¡¯t dare to get involved.  If we just want to build railways, we will naturally support this kind of thing that benefits the country and the people, but where will the money come from?  Where does the land come from?  Who owns the right to the road after it is repaired?  Do you know anything about these things?  " "I don't have any money. I invite you all here just for money!"  As for other things!  "Chen Zaixing took out a silk book from the side, spread out his hands and looked at it with everyone: "Everyone, please look, this is the edict issued by the orthodox king of the Kingdom of Myanmar. The collateral for this loan agreement is the right to build roads.  and the mining rights for all minerals within thirty kilometers on both sides of the road.  ¡± Everyone¡¯s appetite was immediately whetted by Chen Zaixing. At that time, several railways had been opened in Dashun. Judging from the experience of the opening, even if only considering freight and passenger transport, the benefits were extremely generous, so building railways was the first step.  A very profitable business, but there are too many problems involved in building the railway. Whether it is the purchase of the required land, the demolition of relevant personnel, the exploration of the geological conditions of the road, and the subsequent operation, it is beyond the scope of ordinary businessmen.  , but once the matter is accomplished, since there are almost no competitors, stable and generous profits can be obtained. "Sir, can you show us the edict in your hand?  "The old man just now looked at Chen Zaixing worriedly. It was obvious that he was afraid that his request would be reprimanded by the other party. "Then why not!  "Chen Zaixing handed over the silk letter in his hand with a smile. He asked Luo Lin for this edict before leaving. Of course, he was not afraid even if the other party didn't give it to him. When the eldest princess and her brother fled to China, their close confidant Maung Aok was captured.  Batu was killed, and the accompanying seal was originally in the hands of Batu and him. Later, after returning to Mandalay, the seal was also in his hands for a long time. With this margin, Chen Zaixing had already prepared seven or eight in his hands.  Hundreds of copies of the blank edict with seals came, not to mention showing it to these businessmen, but it was not impossible to send one to them as collateral. The old man quickly bowed down, took the edict with both hands respectfully, and returned to his seat.  Li opened it carefully and saw that in addition to Chinese, there were two kinds of characters that he didn't recognize. He thought they were Burmese characters. He looked at the seal below and saw that the mark was clear and the font was full.  Dare to take a closer look, fearing that Chen Zaixing would think that he did not trust him, but would offend the lord, so he quickly rolled up the edict, took two steps forward, and handed it back with both hands. Chen Zaixing did not reach out to catch it, and said with a smile: "This master,  After you have read it, let others read it. Since it is a business matter, let's talk business. Everyone wants to feel at ease. There is nothing to be embarrassed about.  " Others in the room heard this and all claimed that it was. After all, whether from the perspective of reassurance or curiosity, it is a rare thing to be able to read the edict of a foreign king. The old man hurriedly bowed to Chen Zaixing.  He turned around and passed the edict to the next person. After half a cup of tea, the edict returned to Chen Zaixing's hand. The old man stood up and asked: "Master Chen, we have all read it. Could it be that you summoned us this time?"  For borrowing money?  " Chen Zaixing smiled slightly, but did not answer. Liu Qingyang stood up and replied: "Old Wu, Mr. Chen went to Shanghai after returning to China. Jia Yan and several uncles discussed it and decided to form a loan company ten days ago.  Group, taking over the entire loan matter.  " "I see, that's it. It's true that with Liu Weng and Chen Weng here, there's nothing that can't be done about money. But I'm waiting for Hu to worry about it!  " "That is, in terms of wealth, all of us combined are not as thick as one of Liu Weng's fingers!"  " "Everyone!  "Chen Zaixing interrupted everyone's conversation with a smile: "As I said just now, I hope that the Dashun business community will unite to make a difference in Myanmar. I hope that all your products will enter Myanmar exclusively through the channels of our Shunhua Company.  , but before that, a deposit must be paid to ensure the quality of the goods and the cost of handling disputes. Here, I assure you that all goods exported to Myanmar without the consent of Shunhua Company will be protected once discovered.  , the goods will be confiscated, and the people will be held accountable!  ¡±   Everyone in the room looked at each other, their eyes became eager. With such a big thigh holding you, are you afraid that you won¡¯t make any money?  "Master Chen, please give me the number. When I get back, I will send you the deposit and ask Master Chen to take it!" "Me too!" "Me too!" Chen Zaixing looked at everyone in the room with a smile, feeling secretly happy in his heart.  After discussing with Liu Qingyang and Kong Zhang, they came up with this method.  Obtaining a cash flow through deposits is certainly one of the purposes, but the more important purpose is to tie these businessmen to their own chariots. Once these businessmen participate in their own plans, the market will be controlled by them, and the liquidity will be controlled by Liu Qingyang and others.  In the hands of human banks, within a few years, the life and death of these businessmen will be in their own hands. Once they take action, they can integrate everything into a huge group. With such a group with huge economic strength as the backing,  I am really one step closer to my goal.  "Everyone, everyone!" Liu Zhiping, who had been sitting silently from the beginning, suddenly stood up and said loudly: "While everyone is here today, I have one more thing to talk to you about.  ." At this point, he paused and glanced at everyone in the room with a majestic look: "When the compensation is completed, our five bank groups in Shanghai will issue stocks for the Yunnan-Myanmar Railway. I hope you will support it!"  There was a moment of silence in the room, and was soon drowned out by enthusiastic cheers.
