Chapter 802: Scary plan

Wu Juewen thought for a long time but didn't understand, who else could put pressure on Than Shwe, because he knew that as the old president Wu Naiwen got older, his control over the Myanmar jade political situation was gradually weakening, and with it, The big interest groups in the Burmese jade government are increasingly competing for supreme power, but from the perspective of big forces, there are only three parties who are promising and capable.
Of course, his father is the representative of one of them, and the other is the traditional clan power of the old president’s family. Its representative is Esso Win, and the other is naturally the most powerful military hardliner. Its representative is Than Shwe. .
And Tan Zhenhua has already excluded both his own side and Wu Essuo Wen just now, so what he said is... the military hardliner?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help being shocked. Is this Tan Zhenhua also related to the military hawks?
He couldn't help but his face sank, and his eyes on Tan Zhenhua were suddenly full of doubt.
Tan Zhenhua saw his thoughts and couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Jewen, you have misunderstood. I have never dealt with Than Shwe, or the hawks of the entire Burmese jade military, and will not have any intersection with them. Because my position is naturally opposed to them... well, it seems that I must explain my plan to you seriously, although I don't really want to implement it-Jue Wen, what do you think is this place?"
Looking at the circle that Tan Zhenhua drew with his fingers on the map, Wu Juewen found that it was located in the plateau area in the northwest corner of Burmese Yu.
"This is Kachin State, Kachin Plateau." Wu Juewen replied subconsciously, but at this moment, he still didn't understand what Tan Zhenhua wanted to say.
"Think about it again, what is the specialty of the Kachin Plateau?"
"Of course it's teak." Wu Juewen felt that this was the answer that Myanmar Yu primary school students knew.
"Then I ask you, who actually controls the Kachin Plateau now?"
"It's the Kachin Independence Army. On the Kachin Plateau, the government forces barely controlled the two major cities of Myitkyina and Bhamo, as well as some nearby transportation lines. The area of ​​influence is no more than 30 kilometers around the city. There is almost no sense of existence in the place...Ah, Zhenhua, are you trying to..."
"Yes, the Kachin Independence Army will play a vital role in this matter, because they control the main production area of ​​the largest export material of Burmese jade-teak. In other words, without their organization and mining, Burmese jade will lose at least half of the source of foreign exchange materials. This is a devastating disaster for the Burmese jade economy, which is already on the list of the world’s least developed countries and has to import some basic living materials."
Of course Wu Juewen knew what Tan Zhenhua was saying was the truth.
Due to the continuous civil war for many years and the reality of being in power by the military government, this country has long been included in the embargo list by the Western world. However, this does not mean that these Western countries do not like the specialty of Myanmar jade.
Whether it is red sapphire or teak, it is the favorite thing of those who are accustomed to using double labels, and teak, which is called the "Burmese jade national treasure", is a rare material that has been released for export. one.
Teak is actually produced throughout Southeast Asia. It is an important afforestation tree species in areas above 500 meters above sea level. It grows quickly, with straight wood texture, hard texture, moderate hardness and elasticity, and beautiful color, ranging from golden to dark brown. , The older the tree, the darker the color, and the beautiful luster after processing. And because this kind of wood rarely expands and shrinks, it has the characteristics of no deformation, no cracking, corrosion resistance, and no termites, so it is one of the world-famous precious woods, especially suitable for the manufacture of ships, bridges, roof trusses, etc. It is an excellent material for building pavilions, making high-end furniture or floors, and carving fine wood crafts.
The mountainous areas of Southeast Asia are the main producing areas of teak in the world. The production and export of teak account for more than 80% of the world’s total. Among them, the Burmese jade alone accounts for 75% of the market share. So teak is the national treasure of Burmese jade. No moisture at all.
Of this 75% market share, those produced in the Kachin Plateau account for at least 60%!
This is also the reason why the Kachin Independence Army can occupy the Kachin Plateau. As early as its formation, it actually reached a tacit agreement with the Burmese jade government. They will not cut off the supply of teak in exchange for the government army to strictly guard the border with them. , And even pay them a certain amount of remuneration, everyone is in peace.
If it weren't for the big fight in 1975, the Kachin Independence Army could actually be regarded as the strongest of all the Burmese jade "civil war". Without him, there is money.
Wu Juewen feels that he has finally figured out Tan Zhenhua’s vision, but he still feels that this doesn’t sound very reliable-don’t look at the Kachin Independence Army and the Burmese Jade government forces being hostile to each other, but these two have done a few things too. After ten years of business, he shook his head and said, "Zhenhua, are you going to cut off the supply of teak? This is of course a huge loss for the Burmese jade government. On the other hand, it is the same for the Kachin people. Promise?"
"Accept or not, in fact, it depends on whose bid is higher." Tan Zhenhua replied with a smile: "The current situation is that the Kachin people mine teak and put it in the Irrawaddy River, letting it go down the river, and finally in Anda I don’t have to guess how many points are shipped at the port of Manhai. There must be an exchange of benefits. In other words, the current government of Myanmar has tacitly paid the Kachin Independence Army a certain amount of remuneration. Jue Wen, am I right?
Wu Juewen didn't dare to say anything, but if he didn't speak, it was tantamount to acquiescing to this fact.
Tan Zhenhua smiled and continued: "Actually, this is nothing. Who said that the two hostile parties can't do business? I think that when we were in the Chinese Civil War, no one would provide us with a large amount of munitions... well, this can't be done. In detail, in short, this kind of thing is actually commonplace, but the point I want to say is that the financial resources of your current Burmese government can benefit the Kachin Independence Army. I am afraid that there are not many benefits, right?"
Wu Juewen still didn't speak, but thought to himself: "It's not only that there are not many, it is just a little leftovers of the beggar, okay? That is to say, the Kachin people are blocked on the plateau and the news is blocked. This is why he has no choice but to accept this. It is a condition to know the export benefits of teak materials. I don’t know how many people are staring at them with red eyes. Which department is not more moisturized? Even our family...or else you think my car Where did the second-hand Aston Martin DB5 come from?"
Tan Zhenhua didn't intend to ask Wu Juewen to answer such sensitive questions, so he said to himself: "Look, Juewen, if you are here," he pointed to Invar Road at the junction of Ruili River and Irrawaddy River, "arrange here. The crew boat, to gather the teak that was lowered upstream, I only need a few high-powered barges to tow it to Muse, the Huaxia port upstream, so the cost doesn’t increase much, right? Well, wood processing and furniture The industry is China’s traditional advantageous industry. I can consider setting up a factory here so that we can directly produce finished products, and the cost can be much lower..."
His fingers were still moving on the map, and Wu Juewen's face was already pale, he couldn't help screaming in shock: "No, Zhenhua, you can't do this!"
"Why?" Tan Zhenhua looked at Wu Juewen in his spare time: "You see, I am a businessman, and the businessman always seeks profit. Although the profit of teak is not too large, it is better than long-term stability, and I think As long as I have a good talk with Du Min, he will definitely agree with my plan. The price I paid is much higher than the price that the Burmese jade government can pay!"
"No, Zhenhua, you can't do this. If you do this, you will cut off the financial resources of the Myanmar jade government, and it will shake the country of Myanmar jade!" Wu Juewen's voice trembled, "and once you do this The hardliners of the Burmese jade military will surely attack the Kachin Plateau at all costs, which will lead to a war!"
"Well, cutting off a person's wealth is like killing a parent. The result you said can't be prevented." Tan Zhenhua hesitated, touching his chin, "Then I have to count it. With the strength of Xie, Peng Lian Army and Kachin Independence Army, Coupled with my assistance, Kachin State can no longer be defended. Of course, before this, the primary strategic goal should be to win Myitkyina and Bhamo first, all based on the Kachin Plateau."
"...Zhenhua, don't say any more, I know how to talk to Ai Suo, I beg you, can you stop talking to Du Min about this plan? It's too scary!"
