Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

Irian Island?

The five people searched for a long time but found nothing.

Atlan pointed to a large island in the eastern part of the Malay Archipelago and said uncertainly, "Is this the island?"

Hu Zhenhua took a look and exclaimed, "Wow, can this be called an island?"

The map is drawn to scale, and judging by the area, it is estimated to be larger than Dongfan Island!

Hu Zhenhua shook his head.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Atlan had more experience, and he was thinking about something, but his tone was much more certain: "Yes, it is this island."

Hu Zhenhua frowned: "Tell me in detail?"

"This island is also called New Guinea. It is said that the situation there is extremely complicated."

At this point, Atlan shrugged his shoulders, indicating that this was all he knew.

Guo Dachong looked at Zhao Zhi and said, "Old Zhao, go to the bureau and ask around. Don't be afraid to spend money!"

When Yu Bing heard "Don't be afraid to spend money", he shuddered!

The last time Lao Guo said this, he got beaten up badly.

Sometimes you have to listen to your leader's words in reverse.

After Zhao Zhi left, several people began to discuss the loan matters.

Atlan was the first to speak: "Chairman, if we buy so much grain and cotton, the money we earn may not even be enough to cover the bank interest."

Hu Zhenhua smiled and said, "When doing business, we can't just focus on the present, we must also focus on the future. Our grain and cotton are prepared for two places."

Lao Hu pointed to Dongfan Island and Bangzi Peninsula, and explained the situation of Bangzi Peninsula in detail.

There are historical reasons why they are called "Bangzi".

Japan invaded the peninsula and used it as a springboard to attack Northeast China.

In order to expand its military force, Japan recruited a large number of Peninsula soldiers, but Japan did not trust them and only gave the Peninsula soldiers a stick to beat clothes.

Whenever there was a charge, there would always be a group of people running forward with sticks in their hands and shouting.

Hence the name Bangzi!

After the end of World War II, the Korean Peninsula was divided into two, with the 38th parallel north as the watershed. The north was the sphere of influence of the polar bears, and the south was the sphere of influence of the United States.

The northern part of the peninsula is rich in resources and most of the industry is located there, while the southern part is relatively barren, with farmland and mountains as the main features.

When the polar bears evacuated, they did not do as they did in Northeast China: they demolished everything they could.

Instead, they left all the factories intact to the North Korean regime. Not only that, they also left behind a large amount of weapons and equipment.

To sum it up in one sentence: North Korea is rich in resources, has well-trained soldiers and sufficient food, while South Korea has thin horses and long hair and is extremely poor.

Under this comparison of power, North Korea’s desire to seek national reunification is becoming increasingly stronger.

There is one thing Hu Zhenhua did not say: After the polar bear completes the big firecracker experiment at the end of August, its ambition will expand and it will support North Korea to achieve unification.

Atlan's eyes lit up. "Chairman, are you saying that civil war might break out on the peninsula? Even if that happens, the scale of the war won't be too large. Besides, they won't necessarily buy our food and cotton."

I have to say that his thinking is still very clear.

Hu Zhenhua nodded. "What you said makes sense, but you overlooked one factor. The Koreans can decide when the war begins, but they cannot decide when it ends."

Lao Hu pointed his finger at the polar bear, then at the United States, and finally at the red country of China.

Civil wars in small countries are often the result of games between big powers.

Atlan was very excited. After calming down a little, he looked at Lao Hu with anticipation: "Chairman, if that's the case, why don't we stockpile arms?"

You think Hu Zhenhua doesn't want to, but arms and politics are involved, and Old Hu has no way out.

Hu Zhenhua also looked at Atlan: "I want to, but arms are too conspicuous. We have no place to store them, and no source to buy them from."

Yeah, that's a big problem.

Atlan stared at the map. Irian Island?

No, the distance is too far.

Northeast Asia, no, getting too close to polar bears will irritate them.

Around China?

After searching around, I still couldn't find a suitable island.

Hu Zhenhua looked at Atlan's expression and knew there was no hope.

It’s also because Lao Hu had too high expectations of him.

After all, Atlan is just an actor.

Hu Zhenhua calmed down and pointed to Jeju Island: "I have always wanted to rent part of this island, but unfortunately, I don't have the means."

"Chairman, what is your purpose in renting this island?"

Hu Zhenhua was silent for a moment and then asked, "Atlan, what do you think is the best business in the world?"

"Oil? Arms? No, it's a bank!"

Old Hu laughed heartily: "It's taxation!"

Atlan was puzzled: "Taxation, isn't that the government's job?"

"But what if our company buys a suitable island and establishes a free trade port? Just like Hong Kong!"

Atlan stared at the map in a daze for a long time. Suddenly, he screamed, "My God!"

Holding Lao Hu's hand, Atlan was so excited that he couldn't speak.

"Atlan, that place is not ours yet!"

These words, like a bucket of cold water, woke Atlan up.

Yes, that island doesn’t belong to our company yet.

Hu Zhenhua decided to end the topic, as talking too much would easily lead to leaks.

He pointed to a place: Japan!

"Dear directors, I have an immature idea..."

Guo Dachong and Yu Bing immediately became excited. They had no say in the previous discussion.

Six ears stood up straight.

"After their defeat, Japan suffered enormous losses, their foreign exchange reserves dried up, and they suffered heavy losses in their young and middle-aged population. Furthermore, as an island nation, they were resource-poor. Furthermore, after their surprise attack on the United States, the aid they received after the war was extremely limited. Therefore, even though the war had ended four years ago, many people in their country were still starving, and industrial recovery was out of the question."

"Because of cultural differences and the hatred of Japanese people in Europe and the United States, capital was reluctant to come here. But now the situation is different."

Hu Zhenhua paused for a moment, his eyes moving back and forth between Japan and the Korean Peninsula.

"If the Korean civil war escalates and the US and the polar bears are dragged into it, Atlan, where do you think the US logistics base will be located?"

"It's Japan!"

Hu Zhenhua showed an approving look: "Atlan, you are the CEO of the company. If I asked you to plan this, how would you do it?"

After a few minutes of silence, Atlan said, "We will first provide Japan with a batch of grain in the name of our company. After gaining their friendship, we will try to invest in their heavy industries, such as steel, automobiles, and oil refineries. Oh, and we must increase our grain procurement efforts and stockpile as much as we can!"

Lao Hu had to admit that Atlan had a broad vision.

There is some truth in the saying that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.

Atlan travels around the world all year round, and his knowledge is beyond Guo Dachong's reach.

Hu Zhenhua smiled and said,

"Atlan, how do you plan to do this?"

This question made Atlan stunned. Looking at Hu Zhenhua's confident look, he knew that the chairman was testing him.

Atlan thought for more than ten minutes, still without any certainty, and said,

"I will register a company in the United States and invest in the name of US capital."

Hu Zhenhua nodded slightly. This idea coincided with his own, but Atlan did not mention the key point.

"And that?"

Atlan's face flushed red, and he said with shame,

"Chairman, could you please give me some advice?"

"Spread the word that my company is going to invest heavily in Northeast Asia!"

Northeast Asia, including Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Mongolia, China's northeastern region and the polar bear Far East.

Atlan glared at him, then suddenly stood up and danced excitedly.

"Chairman, your plan is brilliant!"

There are two buyers, and they can raise the price.

The seller has two and can lower the price!

In the entire Northeast Asia, the only places where American capital can enter are South Korea and Japan. These two countries are now two sick cats. If you throw a fat fish to them, they will definitely fight over it!

"Atlan, I'll leave this plan to you, okay?"

“Thank you for your trust, Chairman!”

Hu Zhenhua stood up and shook Atlan's hand: "Europe has the 'Marshall Plan', and we in Asia have the 'Atlan Plan!' Yes, this plan is called the 'Atlan Plan!'"

"Chairman..."

Atlan's face flushed red and he could no longer speak.

He was in a state of excitement when Zhao Zhi pushed the door open and walked in, holding a file bag.

"Chairman Hua..., I've found the information."

Guo Dachong took it and began to recite. Hu Zhenhua quickly figured out what Irian Island was!

Irian Island, also known as New Guinea, is the largest island in the Pacific Ocean and the second largest in the world. New Guinea is an island in the eastern Malay Archipelago, located north of Australia, in the western Pacific Ocean, and south of the equator. It borders the Malay Archipelago in southeastern Asia to the west and faces northeastern Australia to the south, separated by the Arafura Sea and the Coral Sea.

The entire island of New Guinea covers an area of ​​approximately 78.6 square kilometers. It runs slightly northwest-southeast, is approximately 2400 kilometers long from east to west, and is 650 kilometers wide at its widest point in the center.

Currently, the island is divided into two, the western part is a Dutch colony and the eastern part is under Australian trusteeship.

Here, we have to mention the dispute between Indonesia and Australia.

New Guinea Island has always been regarded as a barrier by Australia. After Indonesia's independence, it inherited the Dutch colony. Therefore, they claimed the territory of New Guinea Island (a Dutch colony). Not only did the Netherlands refuse, Australia was also unhappy. If New Guinea Island belonged to Indonesia, Indonesia could use New Guinea Island as a springboard to attack Australia. This was what Japan planned in World War II.

In terms of strength comparison, Indonesia has a population of about 100 million.

Australia has a population of only 800 million and is concentrated in a certain area. Once invaded, the rest of the country would be unsuitable for living, leaving it with nowhere to retreat.

For its own security, Australia naturally needs a strategic buffer.

New Guinea Island is the most important one among them.

Indonesia's territory is made up of thousands of islands. Although its overall military strength is greater than Australia's, its forces are dispersed and can only forcibly seize the western part of New Guinea. Now, they have already shown signs of invading the western part of Dutch New Guinea.

In this case, Australia wants to sell the island?

Only Australia can sell its own land, as what they lack the least is territory.

Hu Zhenhua shook his head.

How foolish it would be to sell your own barrier!

How much did it sell for? I think it was 20 million yuan!

There must be something I haven't figured out.

Hu Zhenhua fell into memories. It seemed that there was nothing about the Netherlands in later generations.

After more than ten minutes, Lao Hu suddenly realized and secretly cursed Australia for being shameful!

Tongan Company adopts the loan purchase method, and the ownership of the island will not change at all until the loan is repaid.

Even if Tongan Company is able to repay the loan, it doesn't matter, because Indonesia is eyeing it covetously, and no matter who the islands belong to, they will have to seek protection from Australia.

Spending 20 million yuan can only buy loneliness.

After Sanhai and Atlan found out the reason, they became extremely angry and roared in the room.

Atlanta is even going to the US Embassy to sue Australia!

Hu Zhenhua was also helpless.

None of these foreign companies are easy to deal with. If you scheme against them, they will also scheme against you.

The island of New Guinea on the map is so conspicuous and so dazzling!

In the words of our ancestors: fertile land.

Lao Hu asked Guo Dachong to read other materials, which gave him a deeper understanding.

Their economy can be summed up in one sentence: extremely poor!

Australia doesn't even have the money to develop its own territory, so how could it focus its energy on colonies? As for the Netherlands, let alone the Netherlands, they only knew how to plunder resources.

It can be said that the current New Guinea Island is a completely blank piece of paper, allowing you to paint on it.

Hu Zhenhua already had a plan in mind. He asked everyone to sit down and then said, "It's only 20 million. Let's buy it!"

He interrupted Atlan who was about to speak: "We are just a company, not a country. There is no shame in seeking asylum. Atlan, do you want to own a piece of land with permanent ownership and tax-free, on which you can build a castle, a city, or operate plantations, sugarcane, and grain? Do you want your descendants to point to the castle and proudly say: This was built by my ancestor Atlan..."

The three evils were equally excited, and the Chinese people's desire for land was deep-rooted.

Hu Zhenhua knocked on the table, bringing them back to reality: "Now for the vote. Those who agree to purchase the eastern part of New Guinea please raise your hands!"

Without any hesitation, five hands were raised high into the air.

"It's unanimously approved. Atlan, you will carry out the execution. However, official documents from the Australian government are required. If they want to raise the price, within 100 million Australian dollars, you can make the final decision, but you must take out a loan."

"Yes, Chairman!"

Hu Zhenhua continued, "As for the loan to purchase grain, cotton, and production lines, I suggest extending the loan term to three years. However, starting in the second year, our company will have the right to decide whether to repay early. Also, the loan amount should be increased, the more the better, and the increase will be used entirely to purchase grain. As for the production line, I need the relevant equipment for garment production, sewing machines, and so on. Now let's vote. Those who agree, please raise your hands."

Passed unanimously again.

Hu Zhenhua was delighted and continued, "Atlan, please immediately begin negotiations with the foreign banks according to our resolution. I hope you can announce this good news publicly after the dinner begins. Also, the insurance plan should be released at the banquet as well. Tomorrow morning, I want to see the insurance sales boom. Are the relevant equipment ready?"

Guo Dachong immediately replied: "We are preparing it, please rest assured, Chairman."

Hu Zhenhua said with great pride: "Let's split up!"

"Yes"
