Chapter 296: My surname is Qiu

Benli Shinawatra’s statement aroused Tan Zhenhua’s curiosity. He nodded and replied: "Mr. Shinawatra, please tell me, kid, I’m listening."
"Then I will say, the story is not too long, it will not delay us much time."
Benli Shinawah cleared his throat and began to narrate.
"The story begins in 1860, that is, the last few years of the braid. There was a Hakka family in Huaxia Dongguang. Because of the difficult life in China, they felt that the country was really hopeless, so they changed their properties and made up some capital. , Came to Bangkok with the tide of immigration at that time.
When I first arrived here, other people had two lives and couldn't make a living, so they had to start the work of "collecting people" for local taxes.
Oh, let me explain that the so-called "collection of taxes" means that he first uses his own money to pay all the taxes levied to the local government, and then collects them from each payable unit to earn a certain difference and Handling fee. Because doing this job requires a certain amount of capital, it also needs to be diligent and may face certain risks, so most of the people who are willing to do this kind of work are Chinese like him.
He later married a Dai woman, had 6 children, and moved to Chiang Mai at the beginning of this century.
But a stable life did not last long. In 1910, his wife was robbed on the tax collection road and died of a heart attack, which prompted him to give up the dangerous job of "collecting people". In addition, after several years of accumulation, the family already had some savings, so he decided to switch to the silk trade.
After another twenty years, his eldest son inherited the family business. Not only did he expand the silk trade, he even opened a factory to make garments. Due to the novel design, it quickly became popular in the market, and its products were all the rage, even by the royal family of Dai.
According to the law of the Dai country at that time, the third generation of Chinese settled in Dai can become its citizens and use the Dai family name.
So in 1938, when the eldest son also had a son, he chose a Dai surname which means "doing good deeds according to the rules" as the family surname.
By this time, the family had become a very important local family in Chiang Mai. From then on, his family and other business families in Chiang Mai began to marry extensively. The married family involved all walks of life, and gradually grew into the local first. A big family.
Dai society has always had a tradition of
valuing officials and despising business
. Since the country’s constitutional monarchy in 1932, the army has become the most powerful force in the political ecology of the country. Successive heads of government came from the military. Therefore, the eldest son also worked hard to train his descendants into the military and political circles.
His hard work paid off. One of his sons went through ups and downs in the military and finally became a general; while the other son became a Chiang Mai councillor and became the contemporary patron. "
Having said this, Benli Shinawah paused slightly, then looked directly at Tan Zhenhua’s eyes and said,
Mr. Tan, my story is over. In fact, you should have understood it, right? I said. This story is the origin of our "Sinava" family. The meaning of the Dai surname "Sinava" happens to be to do good deeds according to the rules."
"and so……"
"So, according to Huaxia's patrilineal tradition, I am actually a Chinese. My surname is Qiu, and my name is Qiu Benli."
This time, he used pure Chinese.
Tan Zhenhua's inner shock is unparalleled. It turns out that the "Sinava" family, who dominates Chiang Mai and is one of the best in the Dai country, turned out to be a Chinese legacy!
It’s no wonder that among so many armed forces in Myanmar, he chose the Bao Qixia Department, which is the most friendly to Chinese people and inextricably linked, as the object of support and realization of his ideals. Such trust and specially arranged this meeting.
This is the trust of blood!
But why, Tan Zhenhua feels that this story seems familiar, as if where he heard it?
He tried hard to think about it for a long time. The only thing that is certain is that he had never heard of it in this life, because, with all his calculations, he has been reborn in less than a year, and he remembers what happened during this time.
That was the last life, hey, the nasty information exploded, filling his mind with messy things, but when it was really useful, he couldn't remember it.
Forget it, if you can't remember it, then don't think about it for the time being. Since the "Sinava" family bears the Chinese blood, many things have reasonable explanations. Bao Qixia and Xie Li believe in them so, naturally they should have had enough Test, then, choosing to believe that they should be acceptable.
What's more, most of the things I want them to do are peripheral things. Not only are they in line with the "Sinava" family's anti-drug goal, it will not involve the roots of the Burmese jade plan.
Therefore, he decided to show his thoughts and account.
The old and the young had been talking in the study all afternoon, and finally reached out a clear plan.
According to this plan, Bao Qixia Brigade will set up a semi-public external liaison organization in Chiang Mai, and the official name of this organization is "The Office of the Burmese Jade National Reconciliation Front in Dai State". As to whether this office can obtain the Dai government's Recognition, you need to mobilize all aspects of the relationship between the Sivana family.
In fact, Tan Zhenhua’s bottom-line goal is that this institution can obtain the tacit consent of the Dai government, and it’s good not to restrict its activities.
As for the person in charge of this organization, Tan Zhenhua had long been selected in his mind, that is Xie Li's wife, Bao Qixia's sister, Bao Yan.
Of course, this will take some time to work. After all, Bao Yanlai is still in China and has two children with him. At least he needs to arrange his family to come here again.
There is no doubt that the Shinawatra family will be responsible for the safety of Bao Yan after coming to Chiang Mai.
In return, Tan Zhenhua agreed to hand over part of the red sapphire produced by Mogok to the Shinawatra family. Although this still needs to be approved by Bao Qixia, Tan Zhenhua believes that this should not be a problem. This is a big benefit. Although the Shinawatra family has not been exposed to the gem business in the past, it is not too late to start using its huge funds and contacts.
Tan Zhenhua has always insisted that people cannot live by their ideals alone, and that they must pay the corresponding price if they find someone to help. Only the mutually beneficial cooperation can be strong and long-lasting. That is, he often says "Hello everyone really good."
The results of this meeting obviously made both parties very satisfied, so of course Tan Zhenhua accepted the invitation of Mr. Benli Shinawatra to have dinner.
When he walked into the restaurant with Benli, Tan Zhenhua saw that on both sides of the long dining table, there were already several people, both young and old, who were obviously Benli’s family and should be the core members of the Shinawatra family.
Benli took Tan Zhenhua's hand to introduce him one by one. Of course, the head was Benli's wife Huang Jinglei. This was a kind-faced middle-aged woman who was also the daughter of a local family in Chiang Mai.
Tan Zhenhua shook hands with her politely and saw the next one.
"This is my son. He just returned to China after studying for a Ph.D. from the United States, but he obviously studied criminology, but after returning to China, he wants to start a computer company. Alas, my father won’t listen to you, Mr. Tan. What is it called?"
Having said that, the expression on Benli's face still betrayed him. He was obviously very satisfied and proud of his son who had obtained a doctorate in the United States.
"Father, we have agreed that we will not discuss this issue again. You promised to fully respect my wishes." The opposite person smiled and responded to Benli's complaint, and then extended his right hand to Tan Zhenhua.
"Hello, my name is Darsin Shinawatra. When we meet for the first time, please advise me."
Hearing this name, Tan Zhenhua's mind flashed with thunder, and the outstretched hand suddenly froze in the air.
He didn't care about being polite, but asked aloud in surprise: "You say it again, what's your name?"
