Chapter 1122 Adventurer's Paradise (Second update, please subscribe)

Life is always full of surprises.

Li Yian himself didn't know how he became an accomplice with Princess Nazi, but one thing was certain... the feeling of being an accomplice was indeed extremely comfortable.

After all, the best way to keep a secret is for two people to share a secret.

But this was just an episode. In the following time, Princess Nazi still accompanied Pahlavi to visit various places in Southeast Asia. They not only went to Dongning and Zhongxing, but also went to Yongding, which had the least presence in Southeast Asia. Unlike other places, although Yongding is a city, it is located in the Maluku Islands and its development has been restricted by geographical factors for many years.

Although relatively backward, Pahlavi and his entourage still felt deeply moved. After all, that kind of backwardness was relative to the main island.

After they finished their visit to Yongding City, they returned to Chang'an and ended their visit to Nanyang. Li Yian naturally had to see him off, but in the process of seeing him off, in the luxurious VIP lounge of the airport, he listened to Pahlavi talking about his gains from this trip. During this time, Li Yian went to the bathroom. But after leaving the house, he unexpectedly saw Princess Naz, who seemed to be waiting for him. Just as he was about to speak, the princess came up to him with admiration on her face and kissed him with warm red lips.

"You're crazy, there are people here."

Li Yian, who was unable to dodge in time, scolded in a low voice, and did not forget to look forward. His father was right next door.

He is my good student.

This matter involves some generational issues and can be big or small, so he has to be extremely cautious. The limited edition Persian luxury car in front of him can certainly bring a man a huge sense of accomplishment, but at the same time, risks and opportunities coexist, and if things go wrong, the relationship with his old friend will come to an abrupt end.

I treat you as a teacher, but you are thinking about my daughter.

Really a generation difference!
"You're actually scared!"

Perhaps it was because she had been following the rules for too long, so now when everything happened, Princess Naz was immersed in this different kind of excitement. She glanced at Li Yian with her bright blue eyes.

"We need to divide the places!"

Li Yian slapped Princess Nazi's butt hard.

This hit almost made her cry out while she was lying on her stomach. Her butt felt burning. The princess turned around and covered her butt, her eyes were full of charm. She bit her lips lightly, and stared at the culprit with eyes that seemed to be dripping with tears.

"You didn't tell me where to go before... Besides, I'm leaving soon, don't you want to..."

……

When the Iran Air C707 left, Li Yian, holding a cigar, suddenly said with emotion:
"How come there are so many beautiful women who love me at the same time?"

He was quite angry now. Just two days ago, Grace came with the children. These two days were the best time to pester people. He got into the car with this in mind. The motorcade immediately left the airport.

Just as Li Yian's motorcade left the airport, a C717 bound for Saigon roared off on another runway.

Xiang Chenglin, sitting on the plane, was quietly looking through some documents. Because there were not many passengers on the plane, his suitcase was on the seat next to him. Occasionally, a flight attendant would come over and ask him if he needed any drinks. Because of his work, he only asked for a glass of water. While he was working, several young passengers sitting next to him seemed a little excited. They mostly talked about Saigon girls and the local nightlife.

Xiang Chenglin just smiled and continued to bury himself in the information. But those young people were still talking about that.

I don’t know since when, but Saigon has become a paradise for people from Southeast Asia. Every weekend or holiday, there will always be people flying there to play. The casinos and nightclubs there always attract many people from Southeast Asia. Of course, what attracts them are the Miss Saigon.

As a diplomat, Xiang Chenglin couldn't help but feel a little emotional about this. Saigon now is a bit like the Havana of Southeast Asia, but the current Havana is tense and the situation may change at any time. Xiang Chenglin frowned and looked at the information in his hand, and couldn't help talking to himself.

“Is this becoming another Cuba?”

As the counselor of the Nanyang Embassy in Saigon, Xiang Chenglin understood the situation there better than many people, even though the South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem was a narrow-minded and radical person who acted in an extreme way and brutally cracked down on dissidents who disagreed with his iron-fisted approach.

However, in the past few years, he has not only successfully cracked down on the underground party in the South, but also taken the opportunity to severely crack down on disobedient political opponents, flatten various factions, and crack down on other sects and organizations that have armed forces and territories, such as the militant Buddhism, Cao Dai, and Hoa Hao, as well as the Pingchuan faction armed forces that control gambling, prostitution, and smuggling and have gangster colors.

These armed elements either joined the Saigon regime or were attacked. They are disintegrating after being attacked.

To some extent, Saigon was gradually turning the tide in South Vietnam, and the Saigon regime was basically stable. And economically, by introducing foreign capital and devaluing the Vietnamese dong to stimulate exports, South Vietnam's exports grew steadily after 1955.

South Vietnam's current economic level is second only to Southeast Asia, Kyushu, Malaya, Siam and the Philippines in Asia, and its per capita income is also higher than that of neighboring countries.
Judging from the current situation, South Vietnam still has great potential for development.

But this is just scratching the surface!

Compared with other countries, it also has serious external problems - threats from the north, where changes will inevitably change the situation in South Vietnam.

What will Saigon look like in the future?

Has it become a prosperous city like Bangkok?

Or will it be plunged into war like Cuba?
When the plane arrived in Saigon, Xiang Chenglin frowned and looked serious as he looked at the bustling city outside the window. This was completely different from the tourists who were all happy after seeing Saigon.
In fact, there was another person among the passengers who also had a serious expression. Looking at the city below the wing, Ding Renjun's brows were slightly furrowed, but there was a glimmer of expectation in his eyes. After the plane landed, Ding Renjun stood in a corner of the bustling arrival hall, holding a slightly old suitcase in his hand, with unknown complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

"Sir, please show me your passport and immigration card."

The customs officer's voice sounded very calm. This was a plane coming from Chang'an, and those who entered through the foreigners' channel were basically all from Southeast Asia.

Ding Renjun raised his head slightly, handed over his passport, and said in a low voice:
"Just came from Chang'an."

The customs officer quickly scanned Nanyang's passport, then looked up at the Nanyang man in front of him and said naturally in Mandarin:
"Chang'an, the capital of Nanyang, is such a prosperous place."

There was a hint of envy in the official's words, but there was a barely perceptible desire in his eyes.

In Saigon, many people's biggest dream is to go to Nanyang, but most of them have missed the opportunity. Now only the best students have the opportunity to go to Nanyang.

Even Ming people and Tang people had to pass the overseas Chinese examination if they wanted to go to Southeast Asia. Of course, compared to South Vietnamese people going to Southeast Asia, it was easier for Tang people to go there, at least there was no quota restriction, as long as they could pass the examination.

Ding Renjun did not respond, but nodded slightly, his eyes passing through the crowd, as if he was looking for something, but also seemed to be wandering aimlessly. His eyes were deep, as if they contained thousands of words, but he maintained an elusive silence.

Not long after he walked out of the customs channel, he walked out of the airport building. As soon as he walked out, a Wuling taxi drove up and stopped in front of him. The driver shouted in somewhat stiff Mandarin.

"Sir, do you need a car? Do you need a car?"

After getting in the car, before Ding Renjun could say anything, the driver said.

"Sir, you must be from Southeast Asia."

Although the other party's Mandarin was very stiff, I still understood it.

"Can you tell? We don't seem to be much different in appearance."

"Different, different, not in appearance, but in temperament. The temperament of Nanyang people is different from that of other people. You are a bit like French and Americans..."

Ding Renjun knew what he meant by "like". It referred to the self-confidence of the Nanyang people, the kind of self-confidence that comes from the bones, which is not possessed by other Southeast Asians. Where does this self-confidence come from?
It comes from various aspects such as economy, technology and national strength.

Just like old immigrants can tell who are the new immigrants at a glance, these drivers can certainly tell who are Nanyang people and who are locals.

"Sir, you must be a tourist. Are you going to the Brinks Hotel?"

The driver took the initiative to introduce that the Brinks Hotel was the most luxurious hotel in Saigon, across the street from the Capitol. People who lived there were either rich or noble. Although Ding Renjun had never been to Saigon, he had heard of the name of the hotel and shook his head.

"I'm here to do business, let's go to Chinatown."

It's said that we were going to Chinatown, but after entering the city, Saigon seemed to be basically Chinatown all the way - the signs on both sides of the road were mostly in Chinese characters, although there was a row of Latin letters below, but if you didn't look carefully, you would really feel that there was Chinatown everywhere.

In fact, this is Saigon today, and every place is influenced by Southeast Asia.

More and more people started speaking Mandarin. People followed the Nanyang trends, wore Nanyang clothes, sang Nanyang songs, watched Nanyang movies, and spoke Mandarin.

This may be the reason why many Southeast Asians regard Saigon as their backyard - because there are no communication problems, and everything here is so cheap, and more importantly, here... there are not so many rules.

Rules are the biggest difference between Nanyang and many places. Nanyang has established various rules through laws and other means. They use rules to restrain and restrict people. If someone breaks the rules, he will be punished by law. Even littering will be punished accordingly. Even the hygiene in the room has corresponding requirements. If a family does not manage the hygiene well, they will also be punished.

The biggest feature of Nanyang is that it pays attention to rules. It has established rules and systems, and everyone follows them. From this point of view, Ding Renjun feels very good. He likes that kind of environment because the rules constrain everyone.

But at the same time, he did not like the environment in Nanyang because the rules constrained him and left him no chance to make profits outside the rules.

But Saigon is different!
There are no rules here at all. Maybe people here will talk about morality and character, but in fact, it's all bullshit, and those are just what the rich and powerful people say to ordinary people.

What kind of place is Saigon?
It's a place where as long as you have money, you can do whatever you want!
In fact, this is also the reason why Ding Renjun came here. He wants to achieve something here.

Compared to the South Seas, this is an adventurer’s paradise!

For adventurers, the biggest obstacle to personal success is the rules!

The more rules there are, the more restrictions there are, so Ding Renjun came to Saigon and chose this place where there are no rules at all!
"Okay! This is it. This is my paradise..."
