Shenhao started as a military training anchor

When the Golden Triangle Special Zone was established, the Lao government allocated land to Zhao Wei free of charge. On the one hand, it was to stabilize the Golden Triangle godfather and use it for the government, and on the other hand, it was to borrow his money and guns to develop the Golden Triangle.

The initial area of ​​the special zone was only a dozen square kilometers. After more than ten years of development, urban construction gradually took shape, and the Lao government added more than 100 square kilometers of the entire Golden Triangle area to the special zone.

The land is still leased to Zhao Wei free of charge and managed by him, the chairman of the Special Zone Management Committee, but the Lao government holds 20% of the shares.

Therefore, in the eyes of Lao government officials, he is an out-and-out entrepreneur with a positive image.

But in Holly's eyes, he has nothing to do with the word entrepreneur, and what he does can only gain a foothold in the Golden Triangle.

Asking for 10 billion is obviously to establish his authority and not to grant land.

As a national special economic zone in Laos, if he wanted to acquire land here, Zhao Wei would not be able to approve it without asking.

"Mr. Huo, you are a distinguished guest recommended by the Lao government. I have provided you with all the courtesy, face, food and drinks. If you want to stay and continue to discuss business cooperation, I welcome you.

If you are thinking of taking my place, please don't send me far away. "

Zhao Wei pointed it out directly and extended his hand.

Holly smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao, I have no interest in your position as chairman of the management committee. How much can you accomplish by staying in the Golden Triangle?
Can you leave without the protection of the Laotian government?
When I walked out from here, I was greeted by government officials from Southeast Asian countries with the same high standards.

The Thai government has invited me several times. After discussing the land issue, I will go to Thailand as a guest. "

Zhao Wei's expression changed slightly, with a trace of anger on his face, and he ordered the officers around him, "Send off the guests."

When he was about to get up, a familiar voice came in, "I just arrived, is Lao Zhao going to see off guests?"

Minister Mani from the Ministry of Public Security arrived with people.

If the more than 100 private armed security personnel brought by Hawley were to ensure the safety of today's dinner, then the appearance of Major General Mani, the representative of the Lao military, was a pass to ensure Hawley's free movement in the Golden Triangle Special Zone.

Zhao Wei has more than a hundred armed people around the Golden Kapok Hotel.

But when the military came, he had to give him face.

In Hawley's words, he needs the protection of the Lao government and his status as chairman of the SAR Management Committee to protect his safety.

"Mr. Huo, I'm sorry for being late. I was supposed to be the one to get you acquainted with each other during today's dinner." Minister Mani smiled.

Zhao Wei smiled and extended his hand to invite, "Minister Mani, please sit down."

Holly and Mani shook hands. It seemed that the two boxes of Maotai sent out in Vientiane that day had worked.

What was in the box was not Maotai, but U.S. dollars.

Similarly, his purchase of the 45th International Shooting Range and cooperation with the government in doing business also laid the foundation for the Lao government to support him.

Mani can arrive today. The most important thing is that Hawley has expressed his position in Vientiane and can bring the same benefits to the Lao government as Zhao Wei.

The implication is that no matter how much Zhao Wei pays, he will not be stingy with the money.

Minister Mani smiled and raised his glass: “It seems that the communication between the two of you today did not go well.

I propose a toast to both of you. Chairman Zhao, Mr. Huo is a distinguished guest. Please bear with your temper. "

Holly followed with a toast.

Zhao Wei hesitated for a moment, but facing the military, he took a step back and raised his glass in a toast.

After drinking, Mani sat down, took out a red-headed document from the secretary beside him, and showed it to Zhao Wei, "Chairman Zhao, this is a document issued by the government, I will bring it to you personally.

Government leaders approved Mr. Huo's request to rent land in the Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone. According to the procedures, you still need to issue a document and stamp it. "

He placed the documents on the dining table and turned the dining table in front of Zhao Wei.

Zhao Wei frowned and stared at the document.

A moment of silence.

Mani said: "Chairman Zhao, what do you think?"

"No, no!" Zhao Wei raised his head and smiled, "Mr. Huo is very welcome to come to the Special Economic Zone to develop his own industry.

They are all for the better development of the special zone and the prosperity of the Laos economy. The leaders have considered everything comprehensively. I support their opinions and resolutions.

Mr. Huo, you can stay in the hotel tonight with peace of mind, and I will help you get the land approval tomorrow morning. "

Mani smiled and said: "Mr. Huo, if Chairman Zhao has not received you well, I would like to apologize to you on his behalf."

Just picked up the wine glass.

Zhao Wei immediately raised his glass and said, "Minister Mani, I have betrayed the government's trust. I owe this glass of wine to Mr. Huo."

Mr. Huo, don't take it personally. "

Holly smiled and had a drink with Minister Mani. After dinner, Zhao Wei took the initiative to invite Mani and Holly to visit the golf course he had just developed.

"Does Mr. Huo play ball?", Mani asked Holly.

"If Minister Mani is interested, I can play a few swings with you." Holly responded.

"Mr. Huo, please!"

"Minister Mani, please."

In the afternoon, I played ball with the military leaders for a while and chatted.

Zhao Wei warmly received him.

He didn't expect that Hawley had already established connections with the military and gained recognition from the government.

This move caught him off guard.

When Mani came to the Special Administrative Region in person, he obviously came with the attitude of the leaders. It seemed that he was supporting Hawley's investment, but in fact he was trying to beat him.

In recent years, the domestic political environment in several surrounding countries has been unstable, and leaders will definitely take some actions to remind and crack down on local armed forces.

In the short term, Mr. Huo will not dare to touch him easily.

But if he is allowed to move freely in the Golden Triangle Special Zone, he probably won't be able to move him in the long run.

This rich man can get the support of the government, and his financial resources go without saying.

In this area of ​​the Golden Triangle, if you have money and guns, you can do anything.

Watching Holly playing ball with Mani, chatting and laughing, he asked the people around him, "Arrange some activities for Mr. Huo in the evening."

The people around him nodded, understood what Zhao Wei meant, and left early to make arrangements.

After playing, Holly and Mani sat down to drink tea.

"Mr. Huo, my golf course construction is not worse than that in China, right?" Zhao Wei said with a smile, and stood up to help Holly and Mani get the clubs.

Holly took a sip of tea and said, "It's not bad. Minister Mani feels good today."

"Hahahaha, Mr. Huo is overrated. I'm just here for entertainment. I can't compare with you. You look like someone who plays ball often. Let me learn from you.", Mani said.

Zhao Wei said: "The hotel has prepared dinner. Mr. Huo was not satisfied with the lunch meal. I must accompany Mr. Huo well during the evening meal."

At the dinner table, Zhao Wei changed completely. It was probably because the military leaders were present and he showed it to Mani.

Be polite and respectful.

After dinner, Holly and Mani stayed at the Golden Kapok Hotel to rest.

Tomorrow we have to get the land approval documents from the Management Committee. Mani and several military personnel are at the hotel, and there are armed security personnel outside. Holly doesn't have to worry about safety issues.

Li Heng and his comrade You Xiaolong accompanied Holly to the door of the room and opened the door. After the hotel housekeeper left, You Xiaolong closed the door and said, "Mr. Huo, wait a moment."

Take the surveillance detector and test the camera equipment in the room.

You Xiaolong finished his work and said, "They are all military surveillance equipment. Ordinary detectors cannot detect them. I used a thermal imaging detector to detect three camera equipment.

There should be more.

Mr. Huo, are you considering changing rooms or letting me help you dispose of these monitoring equipment? "

Holly smiled, "Old fox, you were so polite at the wine table that night and kept pouring me wine, so you are here waiting for me.

Zhao Wei wants to arrange a big show for me, so I will play with him.

Never mind.

I want to see what other tricks he has up his sleeve?
Well done, Xiaolong. "

"We are in the next room. We have people at the door and in the corridor. If Mr. Huo has something to do, just speak up." You Xiaolong said.

Holly nodded.

Not long after the two left, Holly heard a knock on the door, "Mr. Huo, you called the SPA technician."

Holly opened the door, and a beautiful woman wearing a sequined suspender skirt stood at the door. Her accent sounded like she was local. She was wearing heavy makeup and had a tingly voice. "Mr. Huo, can I come in?"

Holly smiled. It turned out that he was trying to play this trick.
