Chapter 1106 Fly to Johannesburg!

April 12, 1986.

Saturday.

Hong Kong was already hot in the morning.

Today was Saturday. Yang Ming got up early as usual. After swimming in the swimming pool and having breakfast with Yang Jirong and his wife, Yang Ming returned to the study upstairs.

He was waiting for Merlis.

Yesterday, Yang Ming had received a call from Merlis in London, saying that Merlis would fly back to Hong Kong.

This time, Merlis went to London mainly to acquire Standard Bank. After Standard Bank was successfully acquired by Empire Group, Ma Shimin had taken over Standard Bank in full, and Merlis could return from London.

Three hours later.

10:15 am.

There was a knock on the door.

Yang Ming saw that it was Lin Dezhong and Merlis.

"Boss, I'm back."

Merlis walked in and said.

"Merlis, thank you for your hard work."

Merlis didn't feel that much hardship.

When Mai Lisi reported the situation of Standard Bank to Yang Ming in detail, it turned out that Jules, the chairman of the Standard Bank headquarters, had taken away some executives.

Ma Shimin successfully took over Standard Bank, and the positions vacated by Jules and those executives were quickly filled according to the candidates promoted by the secretariat and Ma Shimin himself, so there was no chaos inside Standard Bank.

Ma Shimin's ability was already seen in Yang Ming's previous life when he assisted Li Jiacheng to become the richest man in Hong Kong.

"Shimin is still very capable, I feel relieved to hand over Standard Bank to him."

Except for this matter.

Yang Ming said: "Ma Lisi, I'm going to Nanfei to take a look."

Nanfei?

In fact.

Nanfei at this time is not simple.

Although Yang Ming, and even his predecessor, have not been there, many wealthy people in Hong Kong still often fly to Nanfei for tourism, including Wang Dehui and his wife, who have flown to Nanfei for vacation.

Some big cities in Nanfei at this time are really developed.

However, the income gap between whites and blacks in Southern Philippines is very large. If calculated by per capita income, the per capita income gap there may be much higher than that in Hong Kong.

The main reason is that they have implemented a policy of political segregation, so that the rich are basically white.

This time, Yang Ming is going to Southern Philippines.

There are several important purposes.

One of them is to further control Standard Bank.

At this time, Standard Bank of Southern Philippines is already the largest bank in Southern Philippines and even in Africa. However, Standard Bank is only the largest shareholder of Standard Bank of Southern Philippines and has not yet fully controlled this bank.

"Boss, are you going to Southern Philippines?" asked Mai Lisi.

"This time, I am mainly going to Standard Bank."

Standard Bank?

Before this, Yang Ming had already decided to swallow up this largest bank in Africa.

Mai Lisi did not ask any other questions.

When the two finished talking.

Mai Lisi went back first.

For Yang Ming, now that the Empire Group has a cabinet and a secretariat, Yang Ming really doesn't have to worry about any problems.

. . .

Two days later.

April 14, 1986.

Monday.

In the morning.

When Yang Ming got up, He Chaoxun and Lin Xiuzhi had already arrived.

This time, Yang Ming went to Southern Philippines without bringing any members of the inspection team. In addition to He Chaoxun, Lin Xiuzhi, Yingla, Alina, Ah Zhu, Guan Jiahui, and Zhong Chuhong, only Lin Dezhong and his bodyguard went to Southern Philippines.

"Peter, I heard that the public security in Southern Philippines is not very good. You have to pay attention to safety." Li Yufang said on the side.

"Mommy, this time we are going to Johannesburg, the public security there is still okay."

In fact, in the white era, the public security in Southern Philippines was still okay, but since the late 1980s, Southern Philippines has begun to decline in all aspects.

It is precisely because of that that many Hong Kong tycoons are willing to visit Southern Philippines at this time.

After breakfast.

Yang Jirong and his wife watched.

Yang Ming and others got on the car and drove away from here to Kai Tak International Airport.

On Saturday, the staff of the Nanfei Office in Hong Kong had learned that Sir Yang, the chairman of the Empire Group, was going to Nanfei to investigate the market.

This was indeed a very important matter for Nanfei.

The person in charge of Nanfei in Hong Kong immediately contacted Nanfei.

Soon, many people in Nanfei had learned that the chairman of the Empire Group was going to Nanfei to investigate and invest.

At this time, Yang Ming and others had just arrived at Kai Tak International Airport.

Among them, Yang Ming saw several white men in suits had appeared here.

These were real white people in Nanfei.

"Sir Yang, welcome to Nanfei for investigation, investment and tourism." The leading white man said.

In fact, the fact that so many wealthy people in Hong Kong go to Nanfei for vacation and play is also closely related to the publicity of the Nanfei Office in Hong Kong in Hong Kong.

In the past, Nanfei was still a country of the Commonwealth of Nations, but later withdrew. Even so, in the eyes of many Hong Kong people, Nanfei is similar to Australia, Singapore and Canada.

Especially now that Nanfei is developing very well, it is called the first developed country in Africa by the outside world.

"Thank you."

Yang Ming shook hands with them.

Then he got on Yang Ming's own private plane.

On the special plane.

For those who are traveling with him to Southern Philippines, they have never been to the country that is now known as the most developed country in Africa.

"Master, is Nanfei really developed?" asked Ah Zhu on the side.

Seeing Ah Zhu asking, Yang Ming smiled and said, "You will know when you go there."

At this time, Yang Ming sat there and fell into deep thought.

Why is that?

The main reason is that Yang Ming spent most of his time in Africa in his previous life.

Except that he was first sent to Africa by Pengcheng's company, and then he began to get involved in the business of smuggling arms.

It can be said that in Yang Ming's era, Africa was the favorite place for arms dealers.

Although Africa is backward, it has a lot of resources, including mineral resources, etc., and resources can be exchanged for arms. Moreover, it is precisely because of that that a large amount of arms entered African countries.

Over there, because of the large amount of arms entering and the intervention of major European and American arms dealers, coups over there are like commonplace.

Among them, Yang Ming also stayed in Nanfei for many years and was very familiar with the situation in Nanfei at that time.

Today, in Southern Philippines, which was still 30 years ago, I wonder if it is really as advertised by the outside world that Southern Philippines is now very developed, even close to the level of developed countries?

It takes about thirteen novels to fly directly from Hong Kong to Johannesburg.

The time spent on the plane is still quite long.

. . .

The largest city in Southern Philippines.

Johannesburg.

At this time, it was 14:45 in the afternoon of Johannesburg time.

Many people have arrived in advance at the international airport of the largest city in Southern Philippines, and martial law has been imposed inside and outside. At a glance, almost all of them are white people, and there is no black person at all.

If I hadn't been sure that this was Southern Philippines in Africa, I would have thought it was in Europe and the United States.
