Ti flies.
Quickly.
It’s already June.
Africa.
In the central part of Tanzania, on a long-dry riverbed, a lot of people are there with hoes, frantically hacking and sorting.
What are they picking?
Pebbles!
Adults and children work together, adults dig, children pick, and after putting them into baskets, they take them ho to wash off the mud and sand, waiting for buyers to co.
On the shore.
A Chinese person is holding a cara.
Beside him.
Are a few compatriots who do business locally, as a travel blogger, on this trip here, he heard that there was pebble digging nearby.
So he ca to take a look.
Aiming.
While filming, he says:
"As you can see."
"In front are Tanzanians digging for pebbles, a friend told these pebbles will be collected, gathered together, and then exported to Myanmar."
"As for the uses."
"Firstly."
"They are used as building materials."
"Secondly."
"They are used to pave riverbeds, before when going to Myanmar, I showed everyone so of Myanmar’s flood control and hydropower projects, where non-riverbeds are dug into riverbeds."
"Then."
"These pebbles are laid down."
"..."
As he films, he introduces, previously when he went to Myanmar, he didn’t know that the pebbles in those new riverbeds were all imported from abroad.
Quite luxurious.
However.
Thinking about it.
It doesn’t seem hard to understand, they have money, just relying on tourism, they can earn a lot of money, and for the purpose of protecting their national natural resources.
Buying stones.
Isn’t a big deal, just like other mineral resources, Myanmar rarely mines its own, instead imports large-scale from abroad.
No shortage of money!
Can buy.
So don’t use their own.
...
"By the way, how much can these people earn in a day?" he asked curiously.
"Fifty."
A Chinese person nearby said.
"RMB?"
"Yes."
Nodding, he continued, "Here, this inco is quite good for a family, and the Myanmar enterprise only purchases in specific places."
"Like in front."
"Only non-standard riverbed pebbles are bought, those dug from ordinary riverbeds, they don’t want. This point, they do quite well."
"Uh-huh!"
The blogger nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
Indeed.
If it’s a riverbed with water, and you go buy, it might be criticized for environntal reasons, but for such a riverbed that’s been dry for a hundred years, digging is just digging.
Then.
He asked about the purchase price.
"Huh?"
"So high?"
The blogger was a little stunned, this purchase price is more expensive than buying dostically, it shouldn’t be. "So, it’s not purely business, but also poverty alleviation."
Beside him, a Chinese person smiled.
"Over the years."
"Myanmar’s investnt in Tanzania is very large, over the past few years, it has exceeded 100 billion Asia Dollars, building a lot of infrastructure and hydropower."
"Previously."
"When Tanzania joined the trade organization, Myanmar’s support increased, investing in many poverty alleviation projects here, such as large farms and breeding."
"Pebbles."
"Are also a poverty alleviation project."
"Otherwise."
"Why would they co to Africa to buy, with such a high purchase price, only trade organization mber stones does Myanmar want."
"..."
After listening.
The blogger was enlightened, so that’s how it is.
No wonder.
Running to Africa to buy pebbles, in normal logic, surely seems crazy, but if you bring ’political’ purposes, it all makes sense.
Then.
The view shifted back to the riverbed, filming quite a lot of material, he even specifically found a local African and followed him to a nearby village.
Upon seeing.
Wow!
In front of every house, piles of pebbles.
Specially guarded.
To prevent theft.
So people were washing them, mainly to remove soil and sand, the blogger imdiately understood, this is a strategy, increasing labor, considered a reason for price increase.
Not long after.
A truck ca.
"Here it cos."
"..."
The village beca lively, this was the pebble buyer, villagers imdiately holding stones, went to line up, quickly forming a long queue.
The blogger was very excited, filming madly.
Weighing.
Paying cash.
One by one, they took their money, smiling happily, and before long, the truck was full, "These trucks co three tis a day, morning, noon, and night."
"Direct cash paynt."
"..."
The blogger sighed inwardly, he estimated this material would get quite a lot of views, suddenly, he couldn’t help but feel more admiration for Myanmar.
They are using practical actions to change this land.
When the truck left.
They also left, heading to the next place, driving nearly twenty kiloters, rounding a mountain, suddenly a vast plain appeared in the distance.
On it.
Squarely divided, fields, planted with large amounts of wheat and other economic crops, looking like a huge farm.
On the car.
He heard the introduction:
"This is a farm built by a Chinese, originally he was mining here, later transford into international trade, real estate, and dining and supermarket."
"Initially."
"He wasn’t in the agriculture business."
"However."
"Later, with good luck, beca a mber of the Myanmar Asia Chamber of Comrce, when Tanzania joined the trade organization, they said they would heavily invest in labor-intensive industries."
"So."
"Agriculture beca a ’compulsory course’, a large number of Myanmar Asia Chamber of Comrce mbers ca to Africa to invest in agriculture, simply put, hiring locals to farm."
"Don’t look at how big this place is, but they didn’t spend a penny, Myanmar Bank Group provided the loan, and the product group will guarantee sales."
Saying this.
The local Chinese felt a sense of envy.
Previously.
He didn’t feel it too much, but after Myanmar’s increased investnt in Africa, he realized how many advantages a Myanmar Asia Chamber of Comrce mbership brings.
Loans.
Both the amount and difficulty make people envious.
Orders.
Internal mbers have priority.
Projects.
Also prioritized for support.
Many envy this, joining the Myanmar Asia Chamber of Comrce represents steady business, having the Chamber’s support in anything you do, mutual help between mbers.
Nowadays.
The first batch to join the Chamber, each beca billion-level tycoons, even tens of billions, the second batch, at least have a net worth of several billion.
Openly envious.
Unfortunately.
Hard to get in.
Knowing the benefits, many are now eager to get in, its internal system even ford a huge economic cycle, like the farm in front of us.
Fertilizer.
Seeds.
Agricultural machinery.
Construction.
...
Almost all are covered by Myanmar-related enterprises, outsiders want to enter, sell things to farms, almost impossible, unless very advantageous.
Unfortunately.
Very difficult.
Take for example, those urban construction projects, the supply of materials, Myanmar-related enterprises also occupy a significant share, and it’s not because there’s so insider dealing.
But because their products, indeed are good.
Quality.
All above-standard.
Reasonably priced.
This is also due to the strong raw materials supply system Myanmar-related enterprises enjoy, as well as the strong logistics system, bringing cost advantages.
Thus.
The huge Chamber of Comrce system, in the eyes of these businessn, is like a super jumbo, a massive comrcial organization, intimidating to behold.
