Codename Doctor, Moved to Hong Kong

Chapter 196: Garde and Beram's Additional Investment

“Thank you sir!
With the inland patrol boat, I wonder who dares to fight me on the Mekong River!" Meng He was overjoyed and thanked him immediately.

"Don't be too arrogant!" Zhang Chaoyang reminded with a smile.

“Got it, sir!
I'm just a little bit arrogant." Meng He touched his head and said with a smile.

"Okay, go and do your thing!" Zhang Chaoyang waved his hand and sent Meng He away.

Going further ahead is Luo Xing's territory, so there is no need for Meng He to escort us anymore.

Zhang Chaoyang boarded the speedboat sent by Luo Xing.

Sure enough, like Meng He, Luo Xing was also hiding on the boat, waiting for him.

"Sir!" Luo Xing did not go out to greet him, but stood at the door of the speedboat cabin waiting to greet Zhang Chaoyang.

This is also for confidentiality, or in other words, for safety.

Today, Meng He, Shen Liang, Luo Xing and Shan Biao are all celebrities in the southern region.

The price of being a celebrity is having many enemies.

They encountered assassination attempts more than once.

This was not the first time that Meng He had encountered a situation like the one above where he was intercepted and beheaded.

However, this time is the most dangerous one.

Luo Xing was relatively safe. Even though there were more than a dozen armed cargo ships around the speedboat, Luo Xing still did not go out to attract attention.

"Didn't I tell you not to pick me up?" Zhang Chaoyang frowned.

"Now that the sir is here, how can I not come to pick him up?" Luo Xing said with a wry smile.

"You!
If I had known that you guys wouldn't pick me up, I would have driven here myself!" Zhang Chaoyang smiled and shook his head.

After walking into the cabin and sitting down, Zhang Chaoyang asked, "Tell me, how is your development going?"

"Sir, the chemical industry park here has been built!

At present, the pharmaceutical factory has been put into production and can produce 1,000 kilograms of penicillin per day, and can also produce more than 800 kilograms of other anti-inflammatory drugs. "Luo Xing replied respectfully.

Zhang Chaoyang nodded.

Producing 1,000 kilograms of penicillin per day, or more than 300 tons per year, is not much, but it is not a small amount in this era.

This is roughly equivalent to the country’s annual output in the 1960s.

The domestic production of penicillins did not achieve a leapfrog growth until the 1990s. Before that, the output had always been low.

“There is also a nylon plastics factory, which has also been put into production, and the current daily output has reached 10,000 kilograms.

In addition, the industrial rubber factory has also been put into production and can currently produce more than ten kinds of rubber products such as rubber tires, rubber tubes, rubber shock absorbers, rubber seals, etc. "Luo Xing continued to report.

Listening to Luo Xing's report, Zhang Chaoyang smiled and nodded.

Although the output of the chemical process park is not high at present, all of its products are urgently needed domestically.

Of course, the chemical industrial park has a more important role, which is to cultivate basic industrial talents for the country.

Almost half of the workers are from China and have only primary school education, while some have only high school education.

After working in the chemical park for three to five years, these people will return to China one after another, and then another group of people will come over.

It would be more appropriate to call this a vocational training center rather than an industrial park.

This was also the plan that Zhang Chaoyang and Li Shuqing had discussed at the beginning.

After these people return to China after completing their studies, Zhang Chaoyang will send the same equipment to the country.

Build an identical factory in your country.

Although, the Russians are now providing great support to the country.

In vigorously supporting the country's industrial development.

However, this does not prevent the country from acquiring technology from other Western countries.

The leaders are very clear-headed and understand very well that all eggs should not be put in one basket.

Zhang Chaoyang was very clear that it was now the 1950s and within a few years, the Russians' sinister intentions would be exposed.

Then, they severed diplomatic ties with the country and withdrew all technical assistance.

And, forced the country to repay the loan. In the evening, Zhang Chaoyang met Gard in the industrial park.

"Haha, my dear friend, congratulations!" Gard gave Zhang Chaoyang an exaggerated hug.

"Thank you!" Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.

He knew what Gard was talking about.

"Congratulations, Zhang!

I'm very sorry that I couldn't attend your child's full moon party.

However, I have prepared gifts for them." Behram also went forward and hugged Zhang Chaoyang.

"Thank you!"

"Zhang, I also prepared a gift for the children." Garde said.

"Thank you, Garde, my friend!" Zhang Chaoyang thanked again.

After thanking him, Zhang Chaoyang continued, "Garde, I just happened to have a business to discuss with you!"

"what business?"

“You also know that the Mekong River is basically under my control now!

But, someone wants to challenge my authority!
This is unforgivable!"

"It is unforgivable to challenge your authority!" Gard said in approval.

"So, I need ten inland patrol boats to strengthen my authority and voice on the Mekong River!" said Zhang Chaoyang.

"Dear Zhang, there is no problem for you to buy an inland patrol boat!

But I have a better suggestion!"

"What advice?"

“You can buy an offshore patrol ship!

It is 1,500 tons fully loaded, has a draft of only 3.5 meters and a maximum speed of 28 knots.

The patrol ship is also equipped with a 76mm naval gun, two 20mm guns and four general-purpose machine guns.

How about it, isn't my suggestion good?" Garde said with a smile.

"How much?" Zhang Chaoyang asked directly.

A patrol ship fully loaded with 1,500 tons is definitely a powerful weapon on the Mekong River, so of course he is very interested in it.

"Dear Zhang, it's too polite to talk about money!

As a friend, I will give you two patrol ships and ten patrol boats for free." Garde said generously.

"Garde, tell me your terms!"

“No extra conditions!

I just hope to deepen our friendship!

I heard that more than a dozen mines have been discovered in Shan State and Kachin State. I hope we can continue to cooperate." Gard said with a smile.

As Shan Biao and Luo Xing's territory expanded, more and more mines came into their controlled areas.

It was obvious that Gard had set his sights on these mines.

Hope to be able to cooperate in mining.

The early cooperation has already brought sweetness to Gard.

Although the steel industrial park has just started production, the investment is still far from being recovered.

However, as a businessman, you will not wait until the investment is recovered before considering whether to make additional investments.

Whether it was steel or various medicines, they were all sold to China at high prices, which made Gard eager to make additional investments.

"sure!
Who makes us friends?" Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.

"Zhang, I also hope to continue investing and increase the production capacity of the chemical park." Beram also spoke at this time.
