Shenhao started as a military training anchor

Bokeo Province in Laos belongs to the core area of ​​the Golden Triangle. The province is politically unstable and armed conflicts occur from time to time.

Hawley arrived in Houay Xay, the capital of Bokeo Province, in the afternoon and was personally received by the provincial chief executive, Secretary Ji Gong.

Huay Xay City has also activated the highest security level to ensure the safety of this billionaire.

This is also the most valuable entrepreneur that Bokeo Province has received since its establishment 40 years ago.

For local governments, it is often necessary to clean the house first and then treat guests. To put it simply, it means to create a good public security environment and investment environment, and then receive VIPs and welcome them to invest in the local area.

However, the historical factors in the Golden Triangle area are complicated, and even if the Lao government and military want to rectify it, they are unable to do so.

What's more, the government's financial resources are limited, and it often relies on local armed forces for donations.

It is difficult to attract entrepreneurs to invest in such an environment.

Secretary Ji Gong heard that a powerful entrepreneur would come to Vientiane to invest in the special economic zone, and he immediately cooperated and received him well.

Even a small amount of charity in Houay Say City can improve the province's financial situation.

He brought local administrative officials to greet Hawley at the gate of the provincial government.

When Holly got off the car, Ji Gong greeted him warmly. He held Holly's hand with both hands and said, "Welcome Mr. Huo to come to Bojiao to guide the work."

"From the moment we entered the Bojiao area, we were escorted by armed personnel all the way. Secretary Ji Gong is interested." Holly shook hands.

"Mr. Huo, you don't have to be polite. This is what we should do." Ji Gong invited, "Mr. Huo, let's move to the office and sit down."

Holly nodded and glanced, "Isn't Mr. Zhao from the special zone here?"

Ji Gong was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Zhao may have something wrong."

Vientiane must have informed Zhao Wei. Zhao Wei didn't come over, which was actually a statement to Holly, which he didn't even bother with.

From an administrative level point of view, Zhao Wei's special economic zone is at the same level as Bokeo Province, and his chairman of the special zone management committee is also at the same level as Ji Gong. However, in fact, Zhao Wei always stands in the C position on any occasion he attends. .

Provincial officials such as Gigong had no choice but to step aside.

This Chinese overlord of the Golden Triangle undoubtedly has a status like a local emperor in Bokeo.

There is no way, he has money and a gun.

Everything can be solved in this place.

He didn't pay attention to the local government at all. He only needed to cater to the Laotian government.

Holly smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao has given you a good look, Secretary Ji Gong?"

Ji Gong said with a smile: "It's all for the economic development of the special zone. Mr. Zhao is a good player in the economy, and the province must rely on his support."

The implication is that the province has no ability to compete with it.

Holly smiled and said: "Bokiao Province is a famous gem mining area. I also have a gem mine along the Mekong River. The output and quality are pretty good. I have been thinking about increasing investment and mining more high-quality gem mines."

Ji Gong's eyes lit up, and his look at Holly did not change.

A rich man was sent here from above.

Ji Gong warmly invited Holly to sit down and poured tea for him, "Mr. Huo, thank you for your trust in the Bokeo Provincial Government. You are very welcome to invest in gem mining."

Bokeo is indeed a sapphire producing area. In Lao, the name "Bokeo" means "gem mine".

But after so many years of mining, the investment value is not great.

The meaning of what Holly said to Gigong was nothing more than to tell Gigong that as long as he is willing, Holly can support the provincial government in economic development to compete with Zhao Wei's special economic zone.

The base of Holly's private military company is located in the Golden Triangle. There is no guarantee that Zhao Wei, the local emperor, will do anything. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away from Vientiane. Sometimes he will turn a blind eye for his own benefit.

When he was in Vientiane, Hawley promised Minister Mani that he would bring the same benefits to the Lao government as the special economic zone every year. This was to open up relations with the military.

Now that we are talking about increasing investment and developing gem mines in Bokeo Province, we are supporting the local government of Bokeo, and the purpose is to secure a place in the Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone.

The five million U.S. dollars in taxes paid by the special economic zone each year is not worth mentioning here.

Renting 10 square kilometers of land in the Golden Triangle Special Zone to establish a private military company has an annual budget of about one billion.

This expenditure is equivalent to the annual military expenditure the United States gives to Nepalese mercenaries. Within three to five years, the special economic zones will no longer be a zone where Zhao Wei alone has the final say.

Hawley even has the idea of ​​taking over the Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone and truly turning it into the core area of ​​Southeast Asia, but there is no clear plan yet.

I chatted with Ji Gong in the province, and when it got dark, we went to the hotel to have dinner.

After the meal, Ji Gong and the provincial officials left the hotel, and Holly met with You Xiaolong, the boss of CSS Company, another overseas armed security company.

This is an acquaintance.

A person recommended by Li Heng, Holly's personal bodyguard and personal driver.

The two had previously served in the same special forces unit. When Li Heng joined the army, You Xiaolong was his squad leader and had joined the army several years before him.

After You Xiaolong retired from the army eight years ago, he joined the most authoritative security company Ace Shield in China to engage in overseas security tasks. He successively served as a security guard for central enterprises in the Middle East, Africa and other regions.

After working in the industry for five years, he founded his own security company CSS in Southeast Asia.

It is also an overseas security company that has just started.

It is also an investment target of Holly.

"Mr. Huo, You Xiaolong is here." Li Heng entered the room to inform.

Holly smiled and nodded, "Tell him to come in."

Li Heng took You Xiaolong into the living room of the executive suite.

"Mr. Huo." You Xiaolong called him respectfully.

Holly stretched out his hand and said: "Sit down, I have seen your resume. You have served in the special operations force for eight years, engaged in overseas armed security missions for five years, your international occupation code is Black Shadow, you have been trained at CIR (US Anti-Terrorism Training Organization), and you have received the GST (International Bodyguard) Class A certification.

I met you today to talk about investment because of the comradeship between you and Li Heng.

Although I have never been in the military, I admire the relationship between my comrades.

Li Heng has been with me for three years, and he has done everything I asked him to do beautifully. I also hope that you will not let me down. "

"Thank you Mr. Huo for your trust and support." You Xiaolong thanked him.

Holly continued: "Don't thank me in a hurry. Take your people with me to the Special Economic Zone tomorrow. After completing this security mission, I will increase the 30 million investment you want to 100 million.

We have found bases for you in Vientiane, Bokeo Province, and the Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone, and have opened up relationships at all levels. You can move freely within the scope permitted by Lao law.

Whether it is personnel or equipment, I will provide enough funds to support you in becoming the best private military company in the world. "

You Xiaolong's eyes changed slightly and he looked at his comrade Li Heng.

Li Heng nodded, indicating that Mr. Huo's words were credible.

"Mr. Huo, what time will we set off tomorrow? How many people need to be brought?" You Xiaolong said.

"Leave at nine in the morning, bring everything with you." Holly said.

"I'll go back and make arrangements now." You Xiaolong said.

Huo Li said: "Li Heng, send your comrades off for me."

The Swedish PBS team of 30 people plus You Xiaolong's CSS team, a security team of hundreds of people, were barely enough to negotiate terms with Zhao Wei.

Just wait for Minister Mani from the Ministry of Public Security to send the final bargaining chip.

Holly stood up, took a cup of coffee, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the monitor lizard raised in the yard sticking out its tongue and smiling.

His business will eventually reach the whole world.

……

Early in the morning, Holly was escorted to the Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone by armed personnel from two security companies, accompanied by local officials from Bokeo Province, led by Secretary Ji Gong himself.
