Chapter 1983 - 1983: 1983

With the harmonious relationship between Yang Bingbing and Third Sister Zheng beginning, it seemed like President Liu Zhizhong's happy life in the Wale Republic was about to commence.

After all, in the near future, Zhao Yan would also rush over from the country to work and teach at the Wale National Art Academy, and the couple would finally reunite.

As for whether this First Lady could officially make appearances internationally, the answer was clear: no!

Because Zhao Yan didn't want to!

She felt that politics would only affect her freedom.

She didn't like public appearances; it was as if it was ingrained in her.

Her main goal was to reunite with her husband; having children was fine by her.

As for agreeing to her father's request for arranged marriage, that was just a precondition for going forward.

As long as she came to Wale, it would no longer be something her father could control.

Ah, when a son grows up he belongs to himself, when a daughter grows up she belongs to herself too, haha...

Liu Zhizhong certainly didn't anticipate that Zhao Han and Lu Yumei would also soon arrive in Wale, hehe!

In the coming time, what Liu Zhizhong needed to do was to implement the agreements and projects reached during his visit to Gu Changsha with the Great East Pot.

Don't think that project work on this side of Wale Republic is easy for Liu Zhizhong; there are many procedures to follow.

Adherence to legal and just procedures is the most critical.

Only by following legal regulations can the outcome be reliable and solid.

The procedures are complex, but the efficiency of the Wale Republic is not too low.

Over in the Great East Pot, especially in Yunxi Province, the efficiency is astounding.

Under the strong power politics, the project efficiency is indeed very fast.

In Yunxi Province, Tang Zhi, who parachuted down from Tiandu, is indeed thriving.

Tiandu provides him with political and policy resources, and the local powerful people, under the guidance of Third Master Zheng, also give Tang Zhi their respect. Therefore, the projects he needs to implement proceed much faster.

First of all, in the Changnan Autonomous State of Yunxi Province, the tiered power stations were reduced from five to three.

These three are essential, and the installed capacity has further expanded.

Of course, the additional investment for any of these three dams is almost equivalent to that of the Four Gorges Project back then, and each generates more electricity than the Four Gorges.

Moreover, the regulation capability of the dams genuinely collaborates with Wale's environmental and meteorological efforts, posing no threat downstream but only bringing benefits.

During the visit to Gu Changsha, both sides signed an important energy procurement agreement. 80% of the electricity generated by the three power stations in Changnan State will be transmitted to the Wale Republic, and the tiered pricing is quite favorable.

In the Wale Republic, as the economy grows rapidly, electricity consumption is expected to increase annually according to evaluations by relevant experts. By the time Liu Zhizhong can no longer serve as president, the total electricity consumption will have increased tenfold.

Such an electricity demand cannot be met by the electricity transmission from Changnan State alone.

Currently, the electricity gap in Wale has been plugged by another project.

That is the electricity generated from the Honghe Hydropower Station, the Santan Hydropower Station, and the White Bird Beach Hydropower Station in Yunxi Province, which is being sold directly to the Wale Republic through Myanmar's transmission lines. In a few days, it will be time to switch on the power supply.

Of course, this will take away some of the power originally sold to the Myanmar South Kingdom, but the latter doesn't dare to complain. They are merely a pawn in the local politics played by the Great East Pot. As far as the Great East Pot is concerned, in the face of major interests, such small kingdoms are dispensable.

The Wale Country is wealthy, the Myanmar South Kingdom is poor, so who would prefer to do business with the latter? In this regard, the Great East Pot is very shrewd.

In terms of hydropower, Tang Zhi had everything arranged for Liu Zhizhong. For the next two years, they will first use the electricity from Myanmar; in a couple of years, once the three power stations upstream of Pajiang gradually start generating electricity, they can seamlessly transition.

Then, a particularly important project was the previously famous new energy vehicle project by the Great East Pot, which was also almost thwarted by multiple parties in the Wale Republic.

However, the land in the Changnan Autonomous State was still allocated to this car brand, but it was directly confiscated and used for the construction of the Southwest Asia Trade Zone in the Changnan Autonomous State.

The person in charge of that car brand even personally called Tang Zhi, requesting a policy-based approach to allow the brand to continue investing in the trade zone, and even if the land was to be repossessed, at least some compensation should be made. After all, the brand is a national brand, part of the rise of a Great Country, bringing glory to the nation and profits to the state.

Tang Zhi solemnly replied on the phone: "Enough already, okay? Don't make excuses. How much have you really invested in this project? In fact, how much loan did you apply for at the banks here?"

"National subsidies, local subsidies, how much have you consumed? How many tricks have you played with the suppliers' finance chains?"

"Everyone knows what kind of situation your so-called new energy local enterprises are in now. Isn't it only a matter of time before your heavily indebted company goes bust?"

"Stop playing the national pride card and avoid using patriotism as your bread and butter, alright? The times are moving forward. Enterprises and individuals who eat the patriotic bread like you will be dealt with sooner or later, understand?"

"If you don't want trouble, I'd advise you to arrange a safe path for your family and relatives and find yourself a way out early. If necessary, why don't you just buy a couple of top-floor apartments in your area, so it'd be convenient to jump when the time comes, hehe..."

These words frightened the local bigwig of the domestic new energy, the Bierdi boss, so much that his face turned white, and he felt so utterly uncomfortable sweating all over.

It was the very next day after the call that the car brand announced that it would completely cancel the project in the Changnan Autonomous State. The land occupied by the project would be donated to the Pot Family at no charge, as we are a patriotic enterprise, and we must make our rightful contribution to the nation's grand strategy. The financing debt of the project at local banks would be fully assumed by the parent company.

This move pleased Tang Zhi very much, and rightfully so.

Of course, do you think this enterprise suffered a loss on the project in Changnan State? On the surface, yes; in reality, its investment beneficiaries still earned billions!

The big fish eats the little fish, and the little fish eat the shrimps; this is one of the laws of survival. However, how can ordinary people ever touch the world of the big fish?

As for the Changnan Free Trade Zone, Tang Zhi proposed full provincial support, and Tiandu replied there was no problem; this project indeed shines brightly as a political achievement.

Then, the Yunxi-Wanan International Tourism Corridor special line, named "One Belt One Sea," was proposed by Tang Zhi with provincial support, and Tiandu approved it without any problem, adding another brilliance...
