Chapter 630 The richest man's digital social experiment
In fact, Tang's richest man just let the members of the business inspection team who came with him see what kind of business territory he had obtained that could be operated.

Funan is very poor now, but it doesn’t matter, its area is almost twice that of South Korea, five times that of Baodao, 2 times that of Xiangjiang, and more than 5 times that of Singapore. This is the capital.

It may be inappropriate to compare a country to an enterprise, but some commonalities are obvious, and land resources are precisely the most in-demand resources that are least likely to be replaced.

Furthermore, the scale of Funan's "capital" is just right for Tang Huan to manipulate—it's too big, and if hundreds of millions are thrown in, it will disappear once it is apportioned; it's too small, and there is no room for maneuvering.

The size of Funan is within Tang Huan's control, and the resources he possesses can not only guarantee "painting" according to his own wishes, but also prevent others from picking peaches—because small people don't have the strength, big people The scruples are not worth the candle.

It can be said that owning a national-level enterprise resource is definitely the highest level that a businessman dreams of, and Tang Huan now has such a card in his hand.

The people who could be attracted by Tang Huan and be drawn here were naturally not mediocre people, and he could see the mystery of it from the reception specifications set out by Funan.

Before coming, everyone inevitably did their homework to understand the situation in Funan. Apart from the business opportunities in Funan claimed by Tang Huan, the first concern is of course the safety issue. Otherwise, even if the richest man promises, No one is willing to risk their lives.

Although Funan has not completely stabilized at this stage, it is not far from this step.

The biggest foreign enemy, Annan, is exhausted, and the big brother, the Soviet Union, is too busy to take care of itself. It even plans to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan. It has no spare power to provide generous assistance as before. Therefore, it has to consider how to defend itself under the general situation of being attacked by enemies. It's safe.

There are two signs that best prove this change from offense to defense.

One is the puppet regime supported by Annan before. People are panicking and trying to find their own way out, but Annan has nothing to do about it. What a loss!
The other is that the Funan Navy occupies an area of ​​the disputed Phu Quoc Island to ensure the safety of its coastline, while An An can only stare blankly, no matter whether it is hard or soft, there is no way to effectively change this situation.

This general situation is a recognized result of analysis by the international community.In other words, Funan is set for the future, and the upcoming Independence Day celebration, where representatives from various countries will gather, is the icing on the cake.

Now that everyone has seen with their own eyes and confirmed Funan's stable trend and his particularly friendly attitude towards Tang Huan, their hearts can't help but get excited.

Especially in public appearances in front of the media, Prince Hanuk said with a cheerful face: "You are friends of Tang, and you are also my friends and friends of Funan. Please be sure not to see anyone outside and spend a pleasant time in Funan. "

Is there a more intimate statement than this?During the period when Prince Hanuk and Tang Huan were having a closed-door discussion before the banquet, various small groups in the business delegation naturally started whispering.

Originally, everyone didn't intend to invest in industries in Funan, but they were optimistic about Tang Huan's reputation. Participating in the financing of Mr. Richest's hotels, airports, hospitals and other projects is a kind of investment that can make a profit without losing money.

But now it seems that the current Funan is a rare and good place to buy at the bottom. If several partners join forces to resist possible business risks and directly carry out project operations, the appreciation space may really surprise people.After all, the tax benefits alone are basically worth the price of admission.

At this stage, Baodao Capital is eager to go global.The United States is a good place, but the threshold is high and the distance is too far, so it is inevitable that we will not be able to reach it.But its neighbors in Asia are dominated by Japan. With its control over the Asian Development Bank, it has eaten up almost all the good projects.Funan, which has emerged now, is a rare place to be developed that is not controlled by the Japanese.

While the members of the business delegation were thinking about their wishes, Tang Huan and Prince Hanouk had a closed-door talk in a candid and friendly manner, saying that they had nothing to say.

Although China is good, Funan is our home and root after all.Therefore, Prince Hanouk, who regained the throne more than ten years later, was so excited that it needs no description, and he regarded Tang Huan as his family.

Although he was extremely close, Tang Huan still maintained strict etiquette to show respect for His Majesty the King, and reiterated his original intention and heart of supporting the liberation of Funan in a clichéd manner.

Tang Huan said frankly and frankly after those scenes with the label of "justice" passed by: "Many wealthy Americans before World War II would invest in a small town and experiment with a utopian society; now, such ideal people are almost extinct, and There is no room for this ideal to develop. I also have a similar experimental ideal, which is to build a digital society based on computer networks.”

Prince Hanouk is indeed very familiar with this topic.In his opinion, the ideal experiment of Mr. Richest Man is simply a game full of science fiction.The most impressive point is that in this digital society, people don’t even need to use cash, and complete various transactions directly through electronic money
At that time, Prince Hanouk once joked that if this goal is really achieved, the country will save the high cost of printing banknotes and eliminate counterfeit banknotes, just do it easily. The key is that there is no need for a huge tax agency, and the computer will do it directly.

Prince Hanouk then asked curiously, "Shouldn't such an advanced ideal be tested in a developed area? Why did you choose Funan, an underdeveloped place?"

Tang Huan answered more directly, "Advanced technology does not mean willingness to accept it. The inertia of society is hard to resist, like spitting, ignoring traffic lights and crossing the road. How do you stop it quickly? Are you waving a whip? Those in developed areas Randomly throwing out a discussion about 'human rights' can kill the experiment. And this is just the most obvious resistance. Looking at Funan, which is almost a blank sheet of paper, there are not so many concerns."

The fact is also the same. It can be said that Funan was turned by the right wing, left wing, Annan and his puppet regime in turn, and the degree of domestic cleansing may even exceed the bottom-up revolution.In this case, many measures are implemented, but it is much simpler.

Such oral and letter discussions, as well as the interposition of Han Anyuan, the royal son-in-law, to enhance trust, and especially Tang Huan's generous investment, promoted a fundamental change in the situation in Funan in favor of his own side. Prince Hanuk quickly accepted Tang Huan's ideal experiment. Idea - If the richest man wants to play games, then I will set aside a separate "special zone" for you to play games. No matter what the experimental results are, you will always get a bargain, and it will always be tens of thousands of times better than the other party's direct political demands.

It is precisely this point - Tang Huan himself made a gesture of not being interested in political interests, which made Prince Hanouk disarmed and was willing to accept Tang Huan's "investment".

Therefore, Tang Huan took the trouble to bring up the topic of digital social experiment again. Prince Hanouk didn't feel tired at all. He liked the political posture and connotation revealed in it!Reassure him too!
Prince Hanouk immediately gave a heart-to-heart statement accordingly: "Funan has decided to implement a market economy system, which will fundamentally protect the investment of business friends, especially the 'special zone' of Hanouk Port."

This emphasis also reflects the practical attitude of Prince Hanuk. You must know that during his first reign, he called his political philosophy "Buddhist socialism", which is based on Buddhism. Under the system of protection and monarchy, socialist-style policies were implemented.A well-known essential feature of socialism is "public ownership of the means of production."

For this ambition, Prince Hanuk even took the initiative to step down from the position of king in 1955 in order to avoid many constraints of the constitutional monarchy, compete for the position of executive head, and use his identity as a prince to serve as Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs; as a result, he was eventually dismissed. Pro-American right-wing forces staged a coup to overthrow.

After decades of ups and downs, Prince Hanouk is obviously a lot more pragmatic in all aspects.After all, the world is changing, China is changing, and so are our neighbors.The goal of changing is to survive and even become strong.

With such a foundation of trust, the two sides talked very happily, and even Prince Hanouk took the initiative to consult Tang Huan for suggestions in other fields-although the other party wanted to disassociate himself from Funan Politics, his knowledge and connections , but it is a precious resource that cannot be ignored, and he had to post it with comedy.

For example, regarding the war between Funan and Annan, as well as the future relationship, Prince Hanouk would ask Tang Huan, the big benefactor, for his opinion.

"In international politics, the main factor is Power." Tang Huan said thoughtfully: "So, we must calmly see that in the geopolitical situation of Indochina, Funan is only a party with very little power. A very important party; just a party that stands in a key position, rather than a party that plays a key role. It is enough to be able to drive out the invaders and retain the initiative on the coastline. The next priority is its own development , if you invade Annan for the purpose of revenge, you will have to take the initiative to give away the initiative that you finally got, losing the moral high ground, and being dragged into the quagmire of resource consumption."

Having said this, Tang Huan smiled slightly, "The arms dealers naturally hope that the war will last forever, so that they can make a lot of money, but we have no money; the big powers also hope that we can continue to fight on the front lines of the Cold War, but we have no one ”

Prince Hanouk nodded understandingly. Tang Huan's words fully explained the mysteries of international relations that Funan is facing. Want to agree.

Before they knew it, the closed-door meeting was talking about the moment when the banquet started.Prince Hanuk and Tang Huan appeared side by side and delivered enthusiastic speeches respectively. The former even invited everyone to invest in business, which surprisingly received many responses.

Tang Huan couldn't help but smile when he noticed that many members of the business delegation who came with him had subtle changes in their attitudes.

Logically speaking, the mainland across the sea is the most ideal output target for Baodao Capital, which is looking for a way out. Unfortunately, due to political reasons, even indirect investment is not possible at this time.

In this way, Funan, which has already decided to pursue a market economy, might not be an ideal choice.

As for Xiangjiang Capital, it is better not to grab the resources of the mainland, and it has the same geographical lineage, so the attraction there is greater.

However, Xiangjiang still has some capital, tentatively extending its tentacles.Anyway, the cost is not much, and if the income is acceptable, then this attempt for business opportunities will produce a surprise.

The active ones among them were undoubtedly the major newspaper groups in Xiangjiang. They sent personnel to set up offices one after another, and the reception at the level of the head of state in front of them was included in their vision.

After the banquet, Prince Hanouk, Han Anyuan and others were busy with other affairs. After all, there were more heavyweight foreign guests coming to this Funan Independence Day celebration, and the preparations for the reception must not be sloppy.

Tang Huan and his party, who came a few days earlier, took advantage of this gap to conduct intensive visits and investigations.Although Bainang has been destroyed by war, its status as the capital is irreplaceable, and it is still the largest urban settlement in Funan.

Of course, everyone's focus is on business opportunities in the economic field. Tang Huan also added one more content-cultural exchanges including movies and TV dramas.

The movie "Oriental Condor", which made Hong Jinbao tired and thin, has been released in one of the few movie theaters and more open-air theaters, which just meets Xin Xin's entertainment needs.

In addition to Wu Hanrun, the best supporting actor at the Oscars, Tang Huan also invited back from France, a rare movie actress in Funan, Dara, who starred in the movie "AnEuilSreyAn", which was released in 1972 Afterwards, it was very popular, but affected by the war that followed, she and her husband fled to France to survive. Now that they finally have the opportunity to return to their hometown, they were immediately overwhelmed with excitement.

With the help of Wu Hanrun and Dara, two local stars in Funan, "The Eastern Condor" is very popular, and the theaters are sold out. As for the box office - this economic indicator is not mentioned, because at this stage, compared with the number of moviegoers, its significance Not big, people's hearts are the most valuable income at present.

In addition, Tang Huan also inspected several real estate projects of Qinhe Infrastructure in Bainang, especially the basically completed military residential area.He even participated in a group wedding and happily gave a big red envelope, because these young men are actually his soldiers.

Wang Yongqing and others, who were dragged along to watch the excitement, finally understood how Tang Huan relied on to protect his huge investment in Funan.
