"’I’m not here to cause trouble!’"
Tang Qing didn’t say this.
But everyone there was clever. Zhong Lesheng understood what Tang Qing ant, yet he wondered a bit why soone as wealthy as Tang Qing had been cheated by dishonest rchants.
It seed to leave quite a grudge.
In fact.
Tang Qing had never been cheated by the rchants in Sanya.
However.
He had seen plenty of such cases in the news before.
Moreover, whenever he visited tourist spots, the prices made him, with his already not high wages, feel heartache. Hence, after his rebirth, upon eting Mayor Zhong, he had spoken those words.
Because the reports were most frequent from this area.
"To address this, we can only try to deter such behavior that severely damages tourists’ interests and improve service quality to deliver value for money," Mayor Zhong said with a wry smile.
"Understand, understand," Tang Qing nodded.
Regarding the issue of ripping off tourists.
What to say about it?
Discussing who’s right or wrong isn’t really aningful.
For instance, so pri retail spots have rents so high they startle anyone who hears them, and rchants looking to break even with limited storefront area and capacity.
Can only resort to raising prices.
Otherwise.
Ask landlords to lower the rent?
Nonsense.
Landlords wouldn’t care.
Take it or leave it.
Consequently, rchants end up without choices, compounded by a few who excessively overcharge, turning their hearts dark, and widely broadcast in the Information Age, severely damaging a place’s reputation.
All in all.
It’s a comprehensive issue.
Regulation is just one aspect.
Even with as much power as it has,
The tourism departnt cannot control what landlords charge for their properties. In a market economy, public power is unsustainable, and talking about reducing consumption costs without lowering rents is just nonsensical talk.
As for the compulsory shopping by tour guides,
That’s also a result of the market economy.
Outdoors,
everyone prefers cheaper travel agencies, but these aren’t charity organizations; you get what you pay for. Travel agencies attract tourists with low prices, many at a loss.
In the end, they have to find ways to recoup elsewhere.
It’s very complex.
Tang Qing knew it wasn’t sothing that could be resolved with just a few words or policies.
That’s why at the root,
by controlling the rent of the shops and the ownership of various hotels and tourist spots in the Myanmar Economic Zone, he barely managed to control the tourist consumption levels throughout the zone.
Otherwise.
Under the market economy.
Pressure.
Hard to apply pressure.
The low-cost tourism of the entire Myanmar Economic Zone was almost at the expense of the interests of the Myanmar Bank Group, a trade-off for tourists’ benefits—an unsustainable model elsewhere.
"Mayor Zhong, as for projects, I can’t decide right now, but I do see your sincerity. Should there be a chance, I am also willing to contribute to the construction of this city," Tang Qing said.
"Thank you."
Getting such a response.
Mayor Zhong was already very satisfied. Even if Tang Qing didn’t invest, eting him today and getting acquainted was also a kind of harvest. However, Tang Qing’s words were a reminder to him.
Image business card.
Is also a business card.
Next.
He could try to start with this aspect, striving for improvent, not only to show Tang Qing his determination but also to further enhance Sanya’s image.
Great idea.
At noon.
After a morable al.
Mayor Zhong left. Just took office, had many places to run to, many banquets to attend; he was very busy. This city, being the provincial capital, had nurous relations to manage.
...
On the third day after Tang Qing returned to his country.
August 15th.
Neibu City.
The newly established National Tourism Bureau released the docunt Tang Qing had shown his second uncle, with three versions, including the Chinese version that Tang Kai read thoroughly. This docunt officially began the ’cake-sharing’ process.
Also released.
Were the qualifications for access by dostic and foreign investors.
At this mont.
The major families and powers of Myanmar also realized their ’guaranteed share of the cake’ in the upcoming distribution of interests. They were all satisfied; indeed, they couldn’t completely devour this piece of the cake.
Moreover, they knew.
Ling planned to balance financial revenue through auctions.
Those pre-approved individuals offered prices that weren’t particularly high, just average, not much higher than the high bid, and the infrastructure for these projects needed fiscal funding.
These expenses.
Needed soone to compensate.
This way.
It was also advantageous for them; foreign investors driving up prices would also indirectly raise the asset prices they held. Overall, this was a plan that satisfied everyone.
Ling’s bias.
Those foreign investors didn’t say much; they were not nationals of this country, so why expect the sa treatnt? Without this understanding, they probably couldn’t even qualify to enter.
Now all parties are optimistic about the interests here.
What are they waiting for?
Securing it ant profit.
...
Neibu City.
Ling’s office.
Kan Qin knocked and entered.
Ling handed him a docunt, and after reading it, Kan Qin was a bit excited because it was a list of countries he was to visit for a mission—by the end of the year, to travel to at least fifteen countries.
This was unimaginable before.
It represented.
Strength.
But only a few months remained until the end of the year; such frequency was indeed high. Was Ling planning another major move? Without speculating wildly, Kan Qin directly asked.
Ling explained.
"There’s no other major move. The main focus is still to elevate the international status of the Asia Dollar, and its role as regional settlent currency, which I think you know."
"The first task, besides friendly exchanges with those countries recognizing the Asia Dollar as a reserve currency, to increase their reserves, is to increase the number of reserve currency countries."
"The first isn’t hard; our commodities are solid, and we have frequent trade with these countries. We can use trade to expand their reserves."
"The harder part is getting more countries on board. This will necessitate another expansion of our ’Mozambique Model,’ how to structurally promote this model while ensuring our interests."
"That dicines from the Myanmar Pharmaceutical Group..."
"Temporarily not included in the export list, as long as the major powers in the West are settled, these dicines will have unobstructed access. These small countries in need of loans really do not need to actively promote our dicines; focus primarily on other goods and project loans."
"Understood."
Then rembering sothing, Kan Qin said: "Then... regarding Huaxia..." In the ’Mozambique Model,’ Huaxia was also in the line-up of Asia Dollar commodity and project loan suppliers.
One could say.
Huaxia is their largest third-party commodity and services supplier currently.
"Continue maintaining cooperation. Our capacity can’t yet guarantee supply of all goods and services, and in areas where they excel, there’s no need to try to replace them. We need economic allies."
