Chapter 512 The End of the Old Era (Second update, please subscribe)

When the butterfly's wings start to flap, what changes will it bring to the world?
No idea.

But the world has been profoundly changed.

It is not only Nanyang and Southeast Asia that have been changed. The situation in the South Asian subcontinent has also changed. India's destiny has undergone fundamental changes - the country has become fragmented. In order to change this reality, the newly independent India chose the military adventure.

The adventure proved to be a disaster.

For India, this is a disaster. No one knows what the consequences will be in the future. However, as the protagonist of this war, the Black Knight Company stole the show. Tens of thousands of mercenaries actually defeated several tens of thousands of mercenaries. One hundred thousand Indian troops, even if the actual combat troops did not exceed one hundred thousand, was a glorious victory that forced India to proactively seek an armistice. It's enough to blind people's eyes.

At the beginning of the new year, India protested to Japan through the Far East Council, saying that Japan violated international law by allowing its expatriates to serve as mercenaries overseas, and demanded that it withdraw its expatriates.

Although Japan was a defeated country at this time, it was not timid and directly declared that except for a few Japanese businessmen in the South Asian subcontinent, there were not a large number of expatriates going to the South Asian subcontinent to serve as mercenaries.

This is also true.

The fact is... there is a large number of expats going to Surabaya. But they didn't go to India. Since you haven’t gone to India, what a waste of time are you protesting!

How long will this war of words last, and what will be its outcome?
No one knows, and certainly not many people care.

"Qingsong, look..."

"That's a hotel."

For most ordinary people, their concern has never been about international events. At most, they can only learn about national events in their spare time. Most of the time, they care about daily necessities such as food, rice, oil, and salt, otherwise they are just having fun.

"That building is the mansion in Nanyang."

Of course India would not accept such a perfunctory answer, so the two sides started a war of words.

But every time we go to a strange place, people always need to adapt to a strange environment.

"Do you think we are the only ones who know that it is inconvenient for rich people to live in Nanyang?"

"what?"

It is precisely because of this that Chen Liang decided to start a luxury business. After all, demand is the market.

This is also the reason why many people come to Nanyang. In fact, it is for a normal life away from the war.

If they have free time, people are more willing to eat with family and friends, go to the beach to swim, watch movies, etc.

In short, as long as there is no direct evidence in the war of words, everything is nonsense.

The reason why Japan is so "rigid" couldn't be simpler - for money. Hundreds of millions of dollars in remittances were remitted from Surabaya, which was extremely important to Japan at this time. After the armistice, tens of millions of dollars were remitted to Japan from Surabaya. Faced with such huge benefits, Japanese officials directly I chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

The boss's words surprised Cheng Qingsong. As a Shanghainese, of course he knew that these two tycoons were, so he said.

Cheng Qingsong was stunned, looked at the building with some confusion, and said.

When getting off the bus, Chen Liang pointed to the building not far away facing Zhuque Park and said with a tone of envy.

In fact, normal life is like this.

"Yes, it's a hotel, and it's also a luxury house in Nanyang. Almost all the big bosses who come to Nanyang live there. I'm talking about the real big bosses. Boss Gu lives on the thirteenth floor, and Boss Du lives on the eighteenth floor. .”

"This, how could this happen..."

Especially for those wealthy people who are used to having hordes of servants, life in Nanyang is always inconvenient. For example, because the number of rooms in the apartment is limited, and the houses are allocated according to the number of family members, it is natural that the residences of the servants cannot be distinguished and the servants cannot be accommodated. This will naturally bring a lot of inconvenience to the lives of many wealthy people.

Chen Liang said as he walked.

"How could the businessman in the official residence not know this? This Royal Hotel is a place specially designed for rich people to stay. It is said to be an apartment hotel, but in fact it is a mansion. The mansion is spacious and bright, with many rooms. Moreover, there is central air conditioning, so the temperature is suitable and comfortable, and the service of the maids is also very good, so even though it costs a lot to stay there for one night, many wealthy people still choose to stay here."

This is also the flexible side of Nanyang, although Nanyang officials hope that wealthy people will invest their funds in industry while avoiding waste of manpower - after all, "subordinates" are also labor force. However, considering their living habits, the real estate market has not been liberalized for the time being, but a number of high-end apartment hotels have still been built for the wealthy to live in. As for the servants, they are Filipino maids hired from the Philippines.

"Because the hotel's suites are limited, many people are reluctant to stay. However, this is only for some people. Like Boss Du, Boss Gu and others, as soon as they arrived, someone took the initiative to give them the room."

Mentioning the treatment of the two bosses, Chen Liang felt envious.

When he was in Shanghai, he had contacts with them. At that time, he said he was the mayor, but in front of those bosses, he was nothing. Even in Nanyang, the gap can still be felt.

As the boss walked across the street, Cheng Qingsong saw a Chrysler parked in front of the door. When the doorman opened the door and the passengers in the car walked out, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"See, this is the real rich man..."

Indeed, the big boss with a net worth of tens of millions just now was thinking this in his mind, Cheng Qingsong asked. "Boss, we are here today..."

"Gift!"

With that said, Chen Liang left this inconspicuous hotel and went to the hotel lobby. He walked straight to the front desk and said.

"Hello, I have an appointment with Mr. Du."

……

"That Mayor Chen actually came to give you a gift."

Meng Xiaodong said while looking at the drawings placed on the table.

"It's really rare. When he was the mayor of Shanghai, he wanted to scratch the ground."

"For life!"

Du Yong grinned and said:

"Qianli is an official just for money. If he is not greedy, it would be abnormal."

"Look what you said, aren't the officials in Nanyang corrupt?"

Meng Xiaodong's words made Du Yong scratch his head and said.

"It's different, it's different."

"If it weren't for corrupt officials like them, why would everyone have left home?"

Du Yong couldn't help but let out a long sigh at what seemed like a casual complaint. Seeing that his mood seemed a little heavy, Meng Xiaodong asked.

"Then will you take over this house?"

"He is not gifting a house, but wants me, Du, to advertise for him. If his expectations are correct, the person on the thirteenth floor will definitely receive this gift!"

Du Yong took a look at the drawings and said.

"That guy Chen Liang seems to have everything figured out, and it seems to be reasonable and legal, but he has spent so many years in officialdom in vain."

As Du Yong spoke, he took out a cigarette holder, while Meng Xiaodong took out a delicate cigarette case from the coffee table, took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

"The reason why Nanyang restricts all real estate speculation, including luxury homes, naturally has its own purpose. I heard that it is to hope that everyone will invest in industry, rather than various speculative businesses including real estate. Chen Liang has been an official for many years, and even this I haven’t fully understood it yet, it’s really…”

Shaking his head and sighing, Du Yong glanced out the window and said:

"This is Nanyang, Xiaodong. I have been here for more than half a year, and my most profound experience is that...this is Nanyang! Chen Liang... still hasn't seen clearly what is the difference between Nanyang and Tangshan! It's really pitiful Very."

He smiled coldly, seeming to be laughing at Chen Liang's innocence, listening to what the master said. Meng Xiaodong asked.

"Then, is this a gift?"

Meng Xiaodong's words made Du Yong frown. He picked up the drawing, leaned over it, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said:
"You said it would be inconvenient to live here. If it can be built, let's move there!"

"Do you think this house can be built?"

Meng Xiaodong asked.

After taking a puff of cigarette, Du Yong thought about it.

"I'm afraid it depends on his luck!"

After saying that, Du Yong opened the newspaper in his hand. A piece of news in the newspaper made him stunned and said to himself.

"Hey, times have changed after all!"

Listening to Du Yong's sigh, Meng Xiaodong asked.

"what happened?"

"Look, this is an announcement over there, saying that the era of overseas slave capitalists plundering cheap labor from Tangshan is over. No, even Manager Zhu said that he will return to Nanyang in the near future."

Handing the newspaper to Meng Xiaodong, Du Yong smoked silently...
