Chapter 1450: No Vision
Maybe Ye Mingjing and Wu Mengxi are still businessmen at heart, and Buck doesn't have much strategic mentality, so they really think it's good to get a handful of island hotels.
But in the eyes of politicians, isn't that funny!
Investing manpower, material resources and even lives to compete for political capital, standing on his side during the coup d'Γ©tat, no matter what, it is a bet, there must be some shadow of the country behind it, and how can it be the right to manage a few islands?
People don't believe it at all.
This wife has never rehearsed, Buck held back his head and scratched his hand as deep as possible: "I said, I just want to keep this place beautiful, and my family has always run the hotel......"
The president still doesn't believe that there is no national will behind this: "What do you think about this riot? β
This Buck is more professional: "There are frustrated people in any society, and appropriate promotion and provocation can provoke riots, so in my eyes, it has nothing to do with the quality of this government, the key depends on how the black hand behind it operates, any country has this danger of being overthrown, but in all fairness, the structure of this capital city still gives others a chance." β
The president focused: "What chance?"
Buck relayed the information that the Frenchman had leaked to him: "Do you think this is appropriate for the concentration of more than 100,000 people in such a large area of the capital city, accounting for two-thirds of the country's population? From my observations, it is basically young people who make trouble, and of course young people are the ones who are most likely to be instigated in every riot, but if you don't solve this problem well, it will break out sooner or later, and it will definitely be more tragic than this time." β
The president spread his hands: "And what do you suggest?"
Buck was dumbfounded: "What advice can I have? This is a matter of politics and people's livelihood, I'm just a businessman, at best I'm a bit of a mercenary team, in Southeast Asia I want to run an industry that protects me, that's all, I have never tried to influence the current government...... "This is the truth, even when he was in Thailand in the Golden Triangle, Buck only focused on a certain part of the matter, and never thought about dealing with the top political circles or changing anything, he didn't have this vision.
The president's gaze repeatedly looked at Barker's face, obviously trying to discern the truth of Barker's words, and Buck looked at each other with a clear conscience.
President Myers leaned back into an Islamic-style carved chair: "After the rioters around the presidential palace dispersed, the military and police took control of the situation and sent 200 law enforcement teams to the second largest city overnight to do the same, until 7 a.m. when the riots were completely quelled...... China was the first to send a congratulatory message, followed by India, then Russia, and finally Southeast Asian countries, and European and American countries are still accusing China of violating human rights and dictatorship. β
Buck pouted: "Good luck this time, but next time, so it's up to you and the Speaker to solve the problem......"
The president shook his head: "The point of this is Huaguo, are you here on behalf of Huaguo's interests?" Although I don't have sufficient evidence yet, I have this guess. β
Buck hesitated for half a second, in fact, he regretted that he should have called Lao Bai in advance, he really didn't expect that what he thought was a simple business slip would involve so much political content: "I remember I also said that it doesn't matter what country I come from, but I am a Chinese, a former Vuglan person, who has experienced a country that was also divided by riots, so I came to Southeast Asia with my companions to seek a new life, and running a hotel is our main industry......"
Buck stopped talking about these words, because the president always looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze, Buck finally admitted that the president of such a small country is still a little different from the county leader, or he is not much better at the previous county leader, he is really not good at the other party's style of trapping sentences, if it weren't for his wife's entrustment, he would have gotten up and given up evacuating, where is he doing this kind of thing, he was not comfortable with Mu Tianbo at the beginning.
"You really don't have any suggestions or opinions on the current situation in the country?"
Buck thought for a few seconds, confirmed that he had no political cells, and was distressed: "I really don't! To be honest, if I hadn't met Canaan on the way, I would have decided to give up here that day, I don't think I have the ability to turn the tide, and after killing him, I decided to come and inform the Speaker, and I really don't have any plans for anything else." β
President Myers looked very thoughtful and serious, and it took a while before he spoke: "Actually, Huaguo has made a proposal to me, to open up a larger island, to build a new city, a new youth city, to meet the psychological needs of the younger generation of citizens yearning for urban life, and to solve this increasingly deformed status quo of the capital, what do you think?"
Buck opened his mouth in surprise, a little unthinking: "Send all these young people there?a city?How much does it cost, why do these young people go to build on a deserted island?They want to live a prosperous metropolitan life, not to be assigned to some remote island to do hard labor......" said and choked again, if this is really some kind of grand strategy engaged in by Huaguo, it seems a little bad to make a big talk by yourself.
The president laughed: "My first reaction is the same, Mahadev is a country that wants to maintain a pristine ecology, and it is impossible to build an economic development zone or production area in another country on a new island, so what should the construction of such a city of tens of thousands of people surround around? And this requires a lot of money, which is a big burden for Mahadev...... However, the investment of China is inevitably too strong, and this is a great challenge to the Mahadev's neutral national sovereignty status, and this riot actually shows how dangerous it is to rely on China......"
Buck had no intention of persuasion, and he didn't have the ability to be far-sighted, so he could only nod his head, wondering if the president had no one to talk to him about this or what, and what was the point of telling himself?
Huaguo's plan must be a good plan, tens of thousands of people moved to another island is at best the size of a county town, maybe in Buck's view, do not open factories and do not engage in development zones, such a county does not know what to do, but Huaguo does not care about such a little, if it can really build a Chinese naval port on this island, just like Guam in the United States, Okinawa in Japan, Isn't that air base a city that has thrived around the base, and Huaguo will definitely be able to show its skills and achieve the strategic goal of establishing a stronghold as it wishes by taking the opportunity of establishing such a new city.
On the surface, the demands of young people have been resentful for a long time, but the essence is still a great power game, and this opportunity is really given to China, maybe the successive storms are still to come, you must know that not only the United States values here, India, Britain and even Russia value this place, and even several nearby countries are eyeing it.
Buck didn't know what to say, he didn't have the eloquence to help Hua Guo speak, and he didn't have this vision in another way: "It seems to make some sense, but what's the use of you talking to me?"
The president also seemed to have made up his mind, and took a deep breath before speaking: "How about I give you the right to develop this island and the construction of this city?"
Yes?
Make yourself mayor?
