Chapter 706 New Fun
"Boss, the group of 'Sulu Pirates' are having internal strife. The group of rubber factory workers want to go to Manila to see Manager Chen."
In Manila, "Dragon Shield Security" also has an office, which mainly provides "private bodyguard" business. 70% to 80% of its customers are from Xiangjiang and Haojingao. There are very few rich people in the country. Some second-generation people can't do it if they go around the world to pick up girls. I will choose to become a member of "Dragon Shield Security".
The business in Manila was not long established and was a branch of the Hong Kong Company.
There are even one manager, two assistants and three managers, and there are several old passport rules. When returning to China, you must go to Hong Kong or Haojingao because you have to change your identity.
It is quite troublesome for some retired soldiers to go abroad for a walk. Zhang Haonan's current business development actually provides some conveniences.
The reporting level here in Liangjiang Province is not high, but it is higher in Songjiang. The confidentiality unit under the Government Affairs Council also has archives, which has nothing to do with the national security department. After all, the profit dividends of "Dragon Shield Security" will ultimately be settled in "Eight hundred thousand forbidden troops".
“From Mindanao?”
"Yes, the ones who specialize in business in Western Mindanao."
"Why the internal strife?"
"It seems that the family failed to compete for the position of 'lecturer', but they themselves are not religious. They were born in Xiangjiang and studied at Xiangjiang Anglican School."
"Damn, you're really good at playing."
Such a strange composition immediately impressed Zhang Haonan. He knew what was going on with these young "Sulu pirates" who were engaged in internal strife.
It should be the parents who cut off the confession. The grandparents of these young people were funded by the Kingdom of Great Britain, not the CIA.
Later, through the introduction of the Military Intelligence Bureau, it was not considered an introduction, but a matchmaker, and he began to receive funds from the "oil tyrants" in the Middle East.
The main purpose is to split Luzon and establish a new "Sulu Sultanate", but the serious "descendants of the Crown Prince of Sulu" are in China, so the slogan is still focused on the "new".
The dispute between "Edmund" and the "Safe Food Group" caused chaos not only in Sabah, Manchuria, but also in the southern region of Luzon.
Most people's impression of Luzon in the next twenty years is that it will just be a bunch of idiots engaged in the "Scarborough Shoal" dispute, or it will just be a broken ship that sinks and languishes.
If you look a little deeper, it will be amazing to see how many de facto "lords" or "warlords" there are in the entire Luzon Kingdom.
"Pirates of Sulu" is just a general term, no different from "Pirates of the Caribbean", and "Pirates of the Caribbean" has countless islands, and naturally there are countless dens.
"Sulu Pirates" is a geographical term in the same way.
These people who believe in Allah are by no means the only ones with separatist tendencies in Mindanao. This is true even if they come from old-line Catholic families.
There are also some hereditary large landowners and political families, also known as "family clans". The Duterte family who later ascended to the throne of Luzon is one of them.
Usually the headquarters of these big families is basically equivalent to the "tangkou" or "tanghao". If there is an alliance between the families and capable people emerge, who can open up a new power field in the "three no matter" zone, then the family's influence will be Force is equivalent to expansion.
Therefore, in Luzon, major powers usually divide more than twelve consular districts here. The specific scale of influence depends on the extent of the interests of the major powers in Luzon.
The historical regression to the "enmity between China and the Soviet Union" is a key point. The struggle throughout Southeast Asia has taken this as a "watershed". No matter what kind of struggle it is, the historical anchor point is the "enmity between China and the Soviet Union."
Therefore, if they are diplomats and military commanders of the older generation, they actually have good connections in Luzon. The "NPA" that later split, including the earlier "Hu Ke Army", all have people behind them.
Manager Chen in Manila, whose surname is not Chen in China, is a veteran from Jiahe. He retired from the "Forbidden Army" and worked in a township water plant.
The reason why he was asked to go to Manila was because someone from his family was working in a certain consular branch in Luzon. Of course, he was no longer there now. When he was introduced, he was just an old friend.
The subsequent development of this internal strife among the "Sulu Pirates" can be regarded as involving all parties. Zhang Haonan did not interfere much, but many new generations of "Sulu Pirates" who have cut off their supply are very willing to go to "Sulu Pirates". Group" is closer.
In the eyes of these young people, multinational companies are all the same, but at least companies with the letters "SF" have lower limits.
Moreover, from the perspective of resistance, Chinese capital is far away from religious forces, which has a fatal attraction for these new generations with higher education.
It's just that they don't have much strength, and their main purpose is to find a "big sponsor" to support them.
After all, any resistance in the archipelago countries is easily suppressed. There is no strategic depth and room for detours. Local wealthy families can easily survive the crisis by buying off the masses at critical moments.
Therefore, even after the NPA changed to the "nationalist" line, it would only grow to a scale of three to four thousand people, and then reach a bottleneck period for expansion.
"What do they want?"
Zhang Haonan asked after listening to the report.
"Funding."
"Where are the munitions?"
"Didn't mention it."
"Oh, they are far worse than those Visayans. Let's give them some money and let them go to Davao to distribute leaflets."
"Okay boss."
After interrupting the call, Zhang Haonan asked the assistants in the conference room: "The Visayans want to take back the rubber plantation owned by the Texas guy. Is there any chance?"
"There is still hope if the local council makes a fuss, but the hope is not great. The big families are all pro-Western. This year, the London Humanities Investment Organization also gave money and awards to the church schools attended by several big families. The rubber plantations are still in the hands of London Financial Street."
The "Texas guy" Zhang Haonan just mentioned is actually a plantation management company in Texas, and the main overseas shareholders are the knights of London Financial Street.
There is also a small amount of Chinese capital, all from Hong Kong, and each of them has the title of "Justice of the Peace".
"New players" and "outsiders" like Zhang Haonan want to intervene in this stable old market, only through violence.
But it is not convenient to use violence now, at least the reputation of the "Shashi Group" cannot be ruined.
It is definitely not feasible to take the route of the upper parliament, and some "street politics" will be enough.
Anyway, dogs in Central Asia are all raised, so it doesn't matter if there are only one or two dogs in Luzon.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. After the leaflets are distributed on the street, it is nothing to learn from the entire barricade in the "old revolutionary district" in Paris in the future.
Moreover, Sabah, across the sea, is now in full swing. The impact of "Edmund"'s shit bombing is spreading. The Chinese community in Sabah is also watching and there is a tendency to split.
The reason...
It is probably related to an Internet application. This application is called "tribe", and the Chinese version is called "Tieba".
In the section of "Sabah Bar", various information exchanges are very fast. In addition, "tribe" is diverting traffic to the international version of the instant messaging software PP of "Panda Mainland". Now the number of users who register PP accounts in Sabah is at a high frequency.
Zhang Haonan asked "Panda Mainland" to do some small experiments, mainly to guide the discussion of social hot spots. The effect is very good, and it has...accelerated the split of the local Chinese community.
Anyway, users in "Sabah Bar" generally complain that the elderly are too conservative, or complain about why the elderly give up their political rights.
The second experiment Zhang Haonan did was to get a bunch of "water army" to guide the topic. The truth that the Chinese are second-class citizens is a bit hurtful when it is said out.
It's not nice to hear, but it's the truth.
This is more stimulating.
The only pity is that Sabah is too poor. Few people can afford the Internet, and even fewer can afford computers, so overall, it is useless.
However, this does not affect Boss Zhang's strong interest. He plans to discuss with Su Runzhong around National Day to open an "Internet cafe" in Sabah.
It doesn't matter if there is no telecommunications network. Now Huaban Company is thinking about selling itself for 10 billion US dollars. It just so happens that the young and radical factions are willing to work overtime overseas. It is difficult to handle the business in Sabah, but not that difficult.
After all, both "Edmund" and "Louis Dreyfus" need stability in the region. It is an objective need to promote the development of local power and telecommunications. The lobbying is something that "Edmund" people will take the initiative to handle.
In fact, "Edmund" has made suggestions in Kuala Lumpur, but they recommend the North American local company "Cisco" and the partner is Frank's "Alstom".
However, "Edmund" still missed a point. The current situation in Sabah is a typical "social hotspot" area. When local conservative forces rise, governments of all countries will make two preparations.
One is to suppress, and the other is to appease.
The means of appeasement are similar, that is, to make some concessions in local power, so that those that are not so autonomous can become slightly more autonomous.
If it is not possible to be autonomous overall, then autonomy can be given in certain areas.
If there is no "Sabah Food Group", there will be no problem, but now there is a "Sabah Food Group", so we have to feed some maggots to the foreigners.
There is no way, "The Great Siegel" has only this hobby.
After a morning meeting on the morning of "Army Day", Zhang Haonan asked "Tsikla" to communicate with the Jiankang Municipal Government to organize a visit to Malacca before the fourth quarter, focusing on negotiating the internationalization and localization cooperation of "Panda Continent" related application software.
In short, it is to use it in the virtual economy of Malacca to bribe the "local snakes" in Malacca.
This kind of cooperation is similar to the domestic automobile joint venture, except that compared with the real economy, the virtual economy is more likely to kill potential competitors in the local country.
Boss Zhang cannot predict how much profit "Google" can make in these regions, but it is certain that "Google"'s main market is still in North America and Europe. In addition, Southeast Asia's infrastructure is backward. Before there are new users, it is unlikely to expect "Google" to open up new markets.
This requires "Google" plus "Cisco" plus "Microsoft" plus "Dell" plus "Big Blue", but in addition to these, stable electricity is also required.
Isn't this a coincidence? Usually in "hot spots", all the above companies will not enter the market.
And as long as the price of "a certain big country in the East" is acceptable, from the government to private enterprises and even individuals, they are all very adventurous.
The most important thing is that Boss Zhang has all the alternatives except "Microsoft", which is a little bit more beggar's version, but how to say it...
It's better to have it than not.
