We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Jakarta, as the political, economic and cultural center of Indonesia, the largest country in Southeast Asia, and a world-famous seaport, has always had rapid economic development.

Of course, the open economy is definitely the main force of the city's economic growth, but the income generated in the dark is also immeasurable.

With rapid economic development, a large number of foreigners and a gathering of wealthy locals, there is naturally more demand.

For example, the import and export trade of women, and spinach.

So there are many entertainment venues in Jakarta, and some of the larger ones have gambling businesses.

Of course, don't expect him to be legal.

And I'm not the only one who would do this. In any entertainment venue involving gambling, there is always someone with connections behind the scenes.

Shuiyunjian, one of the largest entertainment venues in Jakarta.

At Shuiyunjian, you can enjoy all the services.

If you want women, there are women from all over the world, tall, short, fat, thin, with slim waists and big breasts. As long as you have money, you will definitely find one that satisfies you.

There are authentic liquors here. As long as you have money, you can buy the rare wine king Petrus, and it is guaranteed to be authentic.

The most attractive thing here is definitely the gambling industry. As long as you have money, you can even get a special way of playing.

This way of playing is novel, exciting and perverted.

Of course, these are just entertainment, there are many other services.

For example, sports fishing, mountain climbing and swimming are all formal projects, but they can also develop into informal ones.

The biggest and most concerned issue here is money laundering.

There was a report in 07, not to mention other fixed incomes for the next year, that this strongman received more than 450 billion US dollars in cash bribes, and this was in the 90s.

As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked. In the above situation, it goes without saying what kind of people the officials below will be like.

Southeast Asia today is like the United States in the 20s, a little too free.

Honest people are always at the bottom of the society. Anyone with a little money, is there anyone who doesn’t have some dirty behavior?

People are living in poverty? That can't be said, because the economy is developing, and people can at least have enough food to eat, which is a very good life in the surrounding area. For example, the distance to San Ge is very close, a bloody contrast.

But when you have enough food and clothing, you will think about sex. It is not enough to just have enough food. Who doesn't want to live a better life, to have some meat to eat every few days and to have beautiful girls around?

This has led to one thing, that is, a large number of outsiders have flocked to the capital, Jakarta. The reason is very simple: there is not so much filth and fear here.

The root of all this was actually because of a gang leader, who was also the boss of Shui Yunjian.

In a private room on the top floor of Shuiyunjian, an old man who had just been released patted the head of a white British woman with satisfaction.

After the woman left, a man in a suit and designer clothes walked in with a respectful attitude.

"Buddy, I like this gift very much."

"I understand," the man who came in bowed and said, "I will provide her with good food and drink, and I will not let her entertain guests."

The old man on the bed put on his pajamas and was very satisfied with Buddy's answer. He even poured him a glass of red wine himself.

"Very good, you always make me feel comfortable."

I handed Buddy a glass of red wine, and he took it respectfully. Then they clinked their glasses and took a sip.

“I agree with your application for the privatization of the Jakarta power plant. These people are really outrageous. The economy needs to develop, but they are shirking and obstructing it for the sake of greater benefits.

These are all parasites in the government, and they should be taught a lesson."

Buddy stood respectfully beside the sofa, and only sat down respectfully after the man gestured with his hand.

“You are right, the electricity price in Jakarta is too high, which has seriously affected foreign investment.

I have learned that if my power plant can be built, the electricity price can be reduced to one-third of the current level."

The old man was a little displeased when he heard this, "Budi, you are still too young and too impatient. You should know the principle of being grateful for a little and resentful for a little."

The old man's words made Buddy look a little hesitant, "But if the electricity price cannot be reduced to one third, our electricity price will still be higher than that of neighboring countries."

Electricity is very important for industrial development and also accounts for the bulk of the costs.

Although Buddy did not say it explicitly, the old man understood what he meant, which was that he was afraid that the investment would not be attractive.

The old man laughed and waved his hand.

“Let me tell you a story.

There was a game in the past where a person held an auction with one hundred dollars and the highest bidder won. However, there was a rule that the second highest bidder also had to pay and would not get the one hundred dollar auction item.

The people around were very interested in this game, so the first person offered $1, the second person offered $2, and soon the price soared to fifty dollars.

Someone discovered that as long as one person bid more than fifty dollars, the auctioneer would make a profit, so they gave up.

But the second place winner couldn't give up, because if he didn't bid, he would lose $49.

So the first and second place winners started to compete with each other, and the price once reached $135. In the end, the one who invested $49 gave up because he did not have enough funds.

“Stop loss in time?” After the old man said that, Buddy’s first reaction was to learn to stop loss in time.

The old man smiled, took a sip of wine and continued.

“At this time, the game entered the second round. Someone still offered one dollar, and then someone else offered a higher price. As long as it reached 48 dollars, it would not be raised, because it would definitely be a loss if it reached 49 dollars.

There were many ideas, but none of them reached $48. When it reached $, there were only two people left, and no one else raised the price.

So when one person raised the price to $51, the other was afraid of repeating the same mistake as the previous round and sold his shares at a loss.

But what was unexpected was that the winner showed off and told the other party that he only had 58 US dollars.

As long as the other party offers $59, I simply don’t have the money to follow.

Just like that, the person who cut the meat regretted it very much, and the third game began.

Someone will get smart and directly shout out $99, and everyone will be quiet, no one wants to say the price anymore."

Buddy smiled and said, “A very smart man, because if he bids again, it will be a hundred dollars, which is meaningless.

So this person got a dollar and the scheme was broken."

"Really?" The old man looked at the other person meaningfully and said, "Yes, no one here is bidding, but someone came outside the door and directly offered one hundred dollars."

"Yes" Buddy's eyes narrowed.

"Who told you that you can't have children?" The old man shrugged his shoulders and spoke earnestly.

“This story tells us that we must always remain rational. Once you enter the game, sometimes you cannot decide the outcome.

This is true for the stock market, financial products, and industrial investment.

We have too many ways to get the other party to join, such as land taxes and so on. Those belong to the country. Why should our electricity prices be sacrificed?

Suppressing electricity prices is just these greedy guys going too far, and it is also a false appearance of positive change, not the goal.”

"I understand. Then I'll reduce the price by one third first."

The old man was very satisfied. He drank the red wine in the glass and then looked at the time.

"I have to leave too, I have an important event to attend tomorrow.

By the way, the election is coming up, and we must make sure everything goes well."

"Don't worry. I can't guarantee anything else, but the votes in Jakarta will be cast for you, and the entire island of Java is your supporter."

The old man laughed happily, put on his clothes in front of the other person and left.

After the old man left, Buddy's originally respectful attitude changed drastically, and he looked towards the old man with contempt and disdain on his face.

Then two men came in, and the three of them sat on the sofa, feeling much more relaxed both physically and mentally.

"What did the old fellow say?"

"He agreed, but he wanted one-third of the tribute, so he set the electricity price at two-thirds of the current price."

What a crappy story, this kind of story is just to fool children.

Is it important? It all comes down to one sentence: national and personal.

Giving away land and offering preferential taxes can attract foreign investment to build factories, which is legitimate.

The extra one-third of the electricity price can be pocketed as a model of filial piety.

"Haha" one of the two people who came in, a Chinese, laughed loudly, "Very good, if you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy."

"Han is right, this greedy guy doesn't understand how serious the current situation is.

Buddy, he thought he could control you at will, but he didn't know that the troops he was so proud of were his death warrant.

Buddy took a sip of red wine, his expression still a little worried, "But even if he goes down, the position will be given to the person he trusts most."

"That's right."

Han Chen's words made Buddy a little puzzled. The white man Tiago next to him laughed and said, "Because this is just a change of name but the substance remains the same. By then, the people's resistance will become even more crazy, and the era of democracy will be here."

Thiago was a little excited, "By then, we will be the kings of Jakarta, and all our investments will bring rich returns. The Budi family will become the royal family of this land and have real say."

Not only the Buddi family, but also Han Chen and his Tiago's family will become a big family in Indonesia and one of the powerful players in the pyramid of this country.

"By that time, we who control the votes of the entire Java island will be the uncrowned kings here, and we can let anyone we want to come to power cheer for us."

"And you," pointing at Buddy, "you will truly become a core member of the Far East Society and a core vassal of the Luo family."

All of this was a plot set up by the Luo family, and it's not just here, it's the same throughout Southeast Asia.

Southeast Asia during this period was still too chaotic, with the serious autocracy seeming to have returned to the 18th century.

However, Luo Nianzhong knew very well that dawn was about to appear, so whoever had more votes would become the real player behind the scenes.

Therefore, Luo Nianzhong walks on two feet. One foot is the open one, which is the investment or joint venture factory building by Far Eastern companies.

Before leaving, the old man said that he had an important event to attend the next day, and this event was related to the Far East.

Volvo, the car brand that Audi Group acquired from the Wallenberg family, has become synonymous with high-end cars since it was brought to Asia.

However, the Audi Group obviously has another plan for the development of Volvo. Currently, there are very few Volvo car models, and the models launched in recent years are all SUVs and family business types.

In terms of price, Volvo is on the same level as Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi, but those three are mainly famous in the sedan field, while when Volvo is mentioned, the first word that consumers think of is SUV.

This is something the Audi Group did intentionally. The rich brand matrix of the Audi Group has led to overlapping brand positioning, so they need to be positioned separately.

Volvo was just an attempt, but it turned out to be a huge success, with its models ranking among the top three in major automobile markets around the world.

With high sales volume, some problems become prominent, such as production capacity.

Volvo's previous markets were in Europe and the United States, and it had almost no presence in Asia, let alone any factories.

In the past, Volvo could use the factories of other brands under Audi, but now that sales have increased, they are no longer able to use them, so Volvo's Asian factories have been put on the agenda.

After more than half a year of research and site selection, we finally decided on two locations, one is Jinan in the north, and the other is the capital of Indonesia.

The choice of Jinan was based entirely on various factors. The most important one is that Jinan has a large number of automotive talents and workers, but not a single car brand.

The choice of Jakarta was entirely the group's mission, as the group needed to have a significant industry in Indonesia.

Luo Nianzhong wants to control the economic discourse, which is one of his plans for the Far East.

The other foot is like Buddy, secretly cultivating a person to take charge.

They all started out in the underworld, and while ruling the dark forces, they did things that were completely unconventional.

They do not collect protection fees, but maintain order within their territories, regulate brothels and casinos, open many factories to recruit workers, and participate in the construction of people's livelihood projects.

They are like kind-hearted people who allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment, so the population continues to pour into Java Island and Jakarta.

The only thing these kind-hearted people ask for is the votes in the hands of the poor, which now seem useless.

This thing is really useless nowadays. Not only is it very easy to fake, but it also involves a lot of intimidation and inducement.

But once the dawn comes, the Buddy family who controls these votes will be like the United States and the United States, and they will have to listen to me no matter how I vote.

In other words, just listen to the Luo family.
