Plagiarism - 440 Six Marcos Past and Present

At this historical stage, the most prosperous place on earth is in Southeast Asia.The most prosperous countries in Southeast Asia are Indonesia and the Philippines!Suharto and Marcos are undoubtedly the two biggest terrorists in the region.

Marcos, who was sitting in front of Tan Jiabao, looked refined, refined and well-spoken.However, only Tan Jiabao knew how selfish he was and how greedy he was.

Before Marcos came to power, the Philippines was once regarded as the "Showcase of Eastern Democracy".After independence, the Philippines implemented a government system with separation of powers between the president, the bicameral Congress and the courts, and a two-party political party system. These systems are all replicas of the American model.In the 60s and 1960s, the Philippines developed rapidly and became the leader in Southeast Asia, and it also took the lead in the modernization process of developing countries. In 254, the per capita gdp of the Philippines was US$156, which was much higher than the US$97 in South Korea and US$[-] in Thailand in the same year.

At the end of 1965, Ferdinand Marcos came to power.Early in his presidency, he borrowed heavily, embarked on an ambitious public works program, and his administration built more roads than all of its predecessors combined and built more schools than any of its predecessors.

In fact, when Marcos came to power, the whole country hoped that the new president could lead the country and the nation to a prosperous and strong road.But he took advantage of his power to embark on another path: the path of amassing wealth for himself.As early as when Marcos was a member of parliament, he had the nickname "Mr. 10%", which means that if you want to find him to do things, you have to charge a 10% kickback.After becoming president, Marcos' appetite grew even bigger, and he received 450 million US dollars in kickbacks from Japanese companies alone; even a document in the presidential palace stipulated that for every box of canned fish imported, a donation of 1500 pesos must be given to the president.After getting rich in his own pocket, Marcos often said: "Don't worry, just tell me what kind of law you want, and I will let Congress pass it." In this way, companies, big and small, scrambled to find ways to use the Marcos family members as "protective umbrellas." , and then tax evasion and illegal profit.

If Tan Jiabao hadn’t appeared, or if Tan Jiabao hadn’t meddled in Philippine affairs, Marcos, who had been president for 21 years, would have been kicked out of office. After exile in the United States, it was found that he owned 4500 acres of real estate at home and abroad, 10 billion US dollars in cash, and 13 yachts. , jewelry worth $10 billion, 31 planes, 268 companies, 10 coconut oil factories, 5000 acres of land, 23 farms, 81 cars, 143 property bonds, and several radio and television stations.The Marcoss own four office buildings in Manhattan, New York, with cash and jewelry worth 4 million U.S. dollars, and several apartments in other parts of the United States, worth hundreds of millions of dollars.The Swiss authorities discovered that the Marcos couple had a large amount of deposits in Switzerland, including many fake accounts, with deposits as high as 7 billion U.S. dollars. According to reports from Western news agencies, when Marcos stepped down, the gold and jewelry shipped abroad were worth 150 billion U.S. dollars, scattered in Switzerland, Austria, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore.

Of course, he has only been president for three years now, and he will hold a presidential election next year.In order to seek re-election, he must work hard to make convincing political achievements, and he dare not blatantly plunder.Therefore, Tan Jiabao thinks it is the best time to contact Marcos at this point in time.At this moment, Tan Jiabao can not only give him extraordinary political achievements, but also give him a lot of money.He thought it would be difficult for the greedy Marcos to refuse his request.

After they finished talking about drugs, Yankel said: "Dear Mr. President, this afternoon, we discussed with Ministers Courier Lopez and Minister Nix Santos about the investment of Tang Dynasty Group in the Philippines. Some questions. Specifically, we have discussed investment in industries other than the mining industry. This includes that the Philippines can give Tang Dynasty Group Corporation the status of "Philippines friendly foreign-funded enterprise" for Tang Dynasty Group Corporation's exports to the Philippines The products are subject to a uniform tariff of 8%. The Philippines agrees to the right of Tang Dynasty Bank to open no more than 16 banks in the Philippines; allows the Peninsula Hotel to open a large hotel in Manila; allows Tang Dynasty Electric to open several electrical appliance manufacturers in the Philippines; allows Tang Dynasty enterprises invest in the fields of textile, clothing, toys, publishing and shipping in the Philippines. The Philippine side will provide guarantee and support in terms of investment security and taxation.”

Marcos nodded.Prior to this, the two ministers, Imelda and Courier Lopez and Nix Santos, reported to him the details of the negotiation.They agreed that the investment of Tang Dynasty Group Corporation is positive and far-reaching for the Philippine economy.This large-scale investment is of great significance for stimulating the local economy, for the increasingly serious unemployment problem in the Philippines, and for the Philippines' export earnings.Marcos thought a little more far-reaching. He thought that if this investment was made, it would also have positive implications for his general election next year.

However, both Courier Lopez and Nix Santos are opposed to Tang Dynasty Group's proposal to enter the Philippine mining industry.They agreed that mineral resources are non-renewable resources, and the Philippines' mineral resources are limited after all.It is an irresponsible practice for the future of the Philippines that minerals are mined by foreigners.

Marcos also does not want Tang Dynasty Group to get involved in the mineral resources of the Philippines, but he does not think about the future of the Philippines. Like Tan Jiabao, he thinks of the 175 treasures.He believed in the strength of the Tang Dynasty Group Company, and if they accidentally let them excavate that group of huge treasures, Marcos would be sad to death.He knew that if the Tang Dynasty Group Company used minerals as a cover, it would be easy to transport the treasures abroad.

As early as the 50s, Marcos made a treasure deal and got a treasure map. For more than 10 years, he has secretly excavated many places according to the address of the treasure map, but each time he returned empty-handed.Only then did he know that the treasure map in his hand was a fake.However, this did not shake his determination to hunt for treasure. Through that treasure sale, he has firmly believed in the legend of the underground treasure in the Philippines.He is waiting for the opportunity. He will organize a group of people to hunt for treasure at the right time. He doesn't believe he can't find a few treasure spots.

"As the president of the Philippines, I would like to express my warmest welcome and sincere thanks to such a large international enterprise as Tang Dynasty Group Corporation for its investment in the Philippines. Investment in fields such as textiles, clothing, toys, publishing and shipping is of positive significance to both the Philippines and Tang Dynasty Group. We can give your company the most favorable treatment and ensure that your company can obtain good returns in the Philippines , and has developed rapidly." Marcos said in a high-sounding manner, but did not mention the mining industry.

Yankel was also very patient. He said with a smile: "Mr. President is very good. In fact, our Tang Dynasty Group Corporation has hundreds of large and small companies in foreign countries. So far, our All are profitable. And, we can proudly say that the countries and regions we invest in welcome us. Our chairman often said that the best state of investment is to form a win-win effect with the local area. In fact, we This has been achieved. To be honest, Mr. President, Mr. Tan Xiaozhong, the president of our Tang Dynasty Group Company, started to visit Southeast Asian countries long before us. They left Singapore yesterday and arrived in Brunei today, and then Malaysia. Finally, they will go to Thailand. And we, after the Philippines, we will go to Indonesia."

Marcos frowned slightly...
