Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Because of its small population and large per capita land area, Australia has a very high degree of mechanization.

Agricultural mechanization has made Australia's population engaged in agriculture very small, only about [-]% of the population is engaged in agriculture.

Agricultural mechanization represents a reduction in labor costs, which has great advantages for the output of agricultural products.

In addition, coupled with Australia's unique geographical location, it is the only country in the world that exclusively occupies one continent, with a land area of ​​over 700 million square kilometers, making it the smallest of the six continents in the world.

Surrounded by the sea on all sides, Australia's shipping industry is very developed. As long as you find a suitable place near the sea, you can build a port.

The convenience of transportation has reduced Australia's transportation costs.

As one of the Commonwealth countries, Australia can be said to be the best and most suitable place for Yang Chen to invest.

Compared with Brazil, Australia is much closer to Asia, and the influence of Hong Kong's two financial giants, HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, cannot be ignored.

Later generations, the richest man Li bought real estate around the world. Looking at the autobiography of the richest man, it is not difficult to see that the success of the other party has always been inseparable from the shadow of the financial giant HSBC.

Later generations revealed that the largest landowner of local vineyards in Australia, behind the tens of thousands of hectares of Australian vineyards, is actually owned by the richest man Li.

Li's richest man can be found in all major freight terminals in Australia and people's livelihood industries.

Since the richest man Lee successfully swallowed Hutchison Whampoa, HSBC has been behind it with full support.

Many of the acquisition plans of the richest man in later generations all selected the former British colonies. Commonwealth countries like Australia are basically the "sphere of influence" of HSBC.

However, whenever the richest man Li wants to acquire companies in these countries, HSBC can provide him with accurate information and assistance.

There is a financial giant collecting information, rolling up their sleeves to "take the lead" and clearing up relationships.

Although this life will not be open, it is no different from wearing top-quality equipment.

Now Yang Chen doesn't need to go to Australia to investigate anything, as long as he goes through the two financial institutions of HSBC Bank and Standard Chartered Bank, he can find out exactly what he wants.

Australia has less people and more land, so it is perfect to circle and develop farms.

In addition, Yang Chen from Australia's mining industry will also join in. After the opening of the inland area, the demand for various raw materials will be unimaginably large.

It is better to get this wave of money-making opportunities into the pockets of your own family than to be earned by outsiders.

With the development potential of the inland area, no matter how stupid he is, he will never give up this rare investment opportunity.

This kind of left hand goes in and right hand goes out, no matter how you look at it, the meat is rotten in your own pot.

With the blood transfusion of this cow in Australia and the retail store with terminal sales channels in his hands, as long as he doesn't die, I believe no one can kill it.

Even the four major grain merchants could only stare and sit down to discuss the matter of the fifth grain merchant.

Chapter 328 Thai Rice

No matter whether you invest in Brazil or Australia, it takes time to arrange for long-term planning.

It is impossible for him to buy the farm and pasture with his left hand, and the land with his right hand will grow a farmer by himself.

With the help of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, Carrefour does not need to spend much effort to open up the market in Asian countries.

Even as long as he acquires the retail stores owned by the two banks, he can gain a firm foothold in various countries.

However, in terms of suppliers, especially grain and oil, if he wants to be free from human control, he has to carefully select the partners.

It would be nice for the inland to be self-sufficient now, but exporting is obviously impossible. The food gap of hundreds of millions of people in Southeast Asia cannot be solved by 1 to [-] tons.

And only Thailand can help him solve this problem, which is why Yang Chen put Thailand on a par with Brazil and Australia.

In the face of Thailand's power politics, the four major grain merchants have no way to control the source and monopolize Thailand's farm products.

Now that the four major grain merchants are still hidden in the dark, who knows whether the grain he bought will belong to them when he enters Southeast Asia next time.

In order not to be meddled and controlled by the four major grain merchants, it is necessary to find a stable supplier from the beginning.

And Thailand is the best choice. As an Asian food exporter, Thai rice is very popular in Southeast Asian countries.

However, there is one thing that is particularly troublesome when investing in this country.

The political arena in this country is very strange. The generals who hold military power in their country are always in a coup d'état.

Someone in later generations gave statistics to the Thai government, since the first military coup in 20.There have been more than 17 large and small military coups in Thailand, 20 constitutions have been promulgated, more than [-] general elections have been held, and about [-] cabinets have been formed.

It is no exaggeration to say that the modern history of Thailand is a vivid history of military coups.

If the industry he invests in is just an ordinary industry, it would be fine to do a small business, but what he fancy is the most important pillar farm product industry in Thailand.

If you want to do business safely in Thailand's complex political environment, it is obviously impossible not to find a stronger partner.

Thailand is a constitutional monarchy, very similar to the British political system, which implements a system of separation of powers.

The only difference between the two is that the separation of powers in the UK is executive, legislative and judicial.The separation of powers in Thailand is the king, the military and the elected government.

The Thai military and the democratically elected government have been fighting for power for a long time. Once the elected government has the upper hand, the generals will show their guns and kill them directly.

As the saying goes, 'When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits'.

The Thai military and the democratically elected government are tossing back and forth like this, and the common people can't stand it. The person who benefits in the end must be the king who usually doesn't participate in political affairs very much.

The king acts as the arbiter between the military and the elected government, thus controlling the political situation.

Therefore, although Thailand is a constitutional monarchy, the king of Thailand has the right to speak in the country.

Although the king of Thailand does not participate in the military and political affairs, both the military and the elected government must be restrained and restrained by him.

The life of the current King Bhumibol of Thailand is legendary. He has experienced ups and downs in the political arena in his life, but he has always stood firm.

The most representative one is the military coup in [-], when General Suchinda in Thailand staged a coup due to his election defeat.

Subsequently, Bhumibol summoned Suchinda and the leaders of the opposition into the palace to reprimand and teach, and all Thai people saw the scene of the leaders of both sides bowing their heads and kneeling in front of Bhumibol through television.

Two powerful men knelt in front of the king who had no real power in name, followed by General Suchinda, who held military power, voluntarily stepped down.

This is unprecedented in a constitutional monarchy.

In all the constitutional monarchies in the world, their kings are basically just a symbol, with no real power at all.

Such a king, not to mention letting a general who holds military power kneel down, even ordinary soldiers are impossible.

This shows how powerful the King of Thailand is.

Bhumibol is known as the "coolest" king. He is the king of Thailand and the longest reigning one. He has been in power for 70 years, nine years longer than the longest reigning Emperor Kangxi in our country.

He ranks second in the list of reigning emperors of various countries in the world, followed by Louis XIV of France, who has reigned for 72 years, almost a century.
