Chapter 1251: A Model for a Strong Country Plan (Second update, please subscribe)
The silver ring shone slightly in the sunlight.

There is some dust in the gaps between the beautiful king's coat of arms on the ring. If it were in Southeast Asia, many people would be able to recognize the owner's identity through this ring.

This is the ring of King's School.

But here, it's just a ring, with some stains on the hands holding the steering wheel.

Sun Tianyu, who was driving the car, looked out of the window and saw a railway construction site on the other side of the car.

This is a railway construction site in central Iran. As an engineer of the Nanyang Railway Company, he came to Iran two years ago and, together with other engineering and technical personnel, contributed to Iran's construction.

"The domestic railway construction is basically completed. Except for the railway around Borneo, there is basically no railway in the mainland. We can only expand the market overseas!"

Thinking about what his predecessors said when he first joined the railway company, Sun Tianyu smiled. He didn’t think it was a big deal. No matter where he was, it was still work.

Besides, the salary for working overseas is still very high.

The simple dirt road stretches along the railway line. We drove the Land Rover along the way. After about half an hour, we finally got on the highway. Unlike the previous dirt road, this road was of a high level, almost a highway.

This highway is the first project undertaken by Nanyang Enterprises in Iran. The highway is more than 1,500 kilometers long and has not yet been fully completed. There are thousands of Nanyang technicians and craftsmen working on the highway construction site.

The same is true on railway construction sites.

As soon as the Land Rover SUV got on the highway, the speed quickly exceeded 100 hours. After about an hour and a half, we finally entered Tehran!

After entering the city, Sun Tianyu did not drive to the community where foreigners lived, but went to a nearby middle school. Before the car reached the school gate, a girl on the side of the road waved to him. When he saw the girl, a smile appeared on his face.

Like many employees who come to Iran to work, Sun Tianyu also has an Iranian girlfriend, a girl on the street. They met on the street and became boyfriend and girlfriend after a few contacts.

As soon as the car stopped, Sun Tianyu looked out the window at the girl and shouted:

"Sarah, Shirlin is here too."

Xilin bent down and looked at the man and said:

"Why don't you welcome me?"

"Welcome, how can I not welcome you?"

As soon as the girls got in the car, Sun Tianyu asked:
"What are we going to eat?"

"McDonald's!"

In Tehran today, eating McDonald's and drinking Fanta, this kind of Westernized lifestyle is extremely popular. For young Iranians, this is a trendy lifestyle. They watch Western movies and yearn for a Western life.

This kind of the West certainly also includes Southeast Asia. In fact, compared to the American way of life, they are more yearning for the Southeast Asian way of life. After all, the life shown in Southeast Asian movies is undoubtedly more civilized and modern, but not as naked as that in the United States.

"Row."

Although I don’t have any feelings about McDonald’s, we should always respect women’s opinions. Besides, these Iranian girls enjoy the feeling of being valued.

Soon, the three of them arrived at McDonald's. Just like in the past, the place was full of people. They finally found a table. When Sun Tianyu was ordering, he saw Sarah looking at his back with the look of a little fangirl.

Xilin asked:

"Sarah, do you really like him?"

"Uh-huh……"

Sarah nodded and said:
"I want to marry him and give him a bunch of kids..."

Looking at her good friend who was looking forward to the future, Xilin said:

"Then you have to think clearly. We are different from them in many ways."

Sarah smiled at her friend's words.

"We are not Arabs, we are Persians. What's the difference between us and them? Who will care about me when we go to Southeast Asia?"

Sarah's answer made Shirlin laugh. Yes, they were Persians.

At this time, Sun Tianyu came over with a plate and asked:
"What are you guys talking about? You seem so happy?"

Shirlin said:
"Sarah said she wanted to marry you."

"Xilin..." Sarah blushed immediately, but Sun Tianyu looked very calm and said:

"Really, Sarah?"

When asking, his eyes were full of anticipation, as if he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Faced with the man's questions, Sarah nodded repeatedly despite being a little nervous.

Sometimes, the fate between people is so simple. Just as the young couple on the roadside were discussing important life events, a BMW sped past in the middle of the road. The person sitting in the car was none other than Zhang Han, the Nanyang Ambassador to Iran.

"Western-style life..."

Looking at McDonald's outside the car window, Zhang Han said:

"Iran is actually two worlds now - one is a modernizing city where people live a westernized life, they have abandoned robes and even dzongs, and wear suits, skirts, and even bikinis on the beach, while the other side is the unchanging countryside where people still live the same life as hundreds of years ago, and where dzongs rule them all!"

Listening to the ambassador's words, Lou Yifan said:
"This is inevitable. The two worlds of city and country will always form this kind of rift in the rapid development. But now a large number of young people come to the city from the countryside every year." "So what? When those people come to the city and sell their labor for a living, they face an unprecedented impact. They will see the modern life in the city and feel the unprecedented gap between the rich and the poor. Deep down in their hearts, they even regard those people as heretics because of their lifestyle..."

As an ambassador, Zhang Han has visited many places in Iran and he can clearly feel this division.

Listening to his worried words, Lou Yifan smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter. Eventually, they will integrate into the city and accept the baptism of modern civilization. They will adapt to it. Then, under the rule of the Shah, the country will become a modern country!"

The Shah is Pahlavi.

In the past few years, under the impetus of the Pahlavi regime, Iran has been promoting the modernization of the country at an astonishing speed. A large number of modern facilities such as hydropower stations, factories, roads, railways, etc. have appeared on this land for the first time.

Among them, Nanyang played a very important role - the fertilizer plants, machinery plants and agricultural machinery plants built in various parts of Iran were mostly based on the "National Prosperity Plan" provided by Nanyang, and the "National Power Plan" tailored for them by Nanyang's experts.

According to the plan, they built a large number of factories - a number of modern enterprises were built with very little expenditure.

"Yes, this country will eventually modernize. When I first came here a few years ago, this country couldn't even produce fertilizers. But now? Not only can they produce fertilizers, they can even produce cars."

“It’s a tricycle.”

Lou Yifan corrected:

“It’s just a three-wheeled farm vehicle.”

"The first batch of cars produced by Nanyang were also three-wheeled agricultural vehicles, namely Foton. They even sold three-wheeled agricultural vehicles to Europe. Now Foton can produce 300,000 trucks of various types a year. Who still remembers that they started with three-wheeled agricultural vehicles?"

Zhang Han sighed and said:

"Now, many countries are copying our single-cylinder diesel engines and three-wheeled agricultural vehicles, including Iran, India, and of course, Tangshan. They will eventually build their own automobile industries based on this."

"But there is only one Futian in the world!"

Lou Yifan took a puff of cigarette and said:

“The blessed land of Nanyang!”

When Lou Yifan spoke these confident words, he deliberately emphasized his tone.

"maybe!"

Just as they were talking, a three-wheeled farm vehicle drove by on the road. There are more and more such vehicles in Iran now, and today, they are going to the Lion Agricultural Machinery Company in Tehran to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony of its second phase project.

Soon, they arrived at the Agricultural Machinery Company. King Pahlavi had also arrived there. When he saw Zhang Han, he said excitedly:

"Mr. Ambassador, you see, after the second phase of the project is completed, we will be able to produce not only 2 three-wheeled agricultural vehicles a year, but also four-wheeled trucks with a load capacity of tons."

Pointing at the factory building behind, Pahlavi's face was full of excitement that was difficult to conceal.

"The Americans said that it takes 90 to months to build a factory, just the factory building, but you only took days, just days to build this factory building. It's like a miracle."

"Yes, sire,"

Zhang Han smiled and said:

"The biggest feature of this steel structure factory is the fast construction speed. If it weren't for the unskilled workers, these factories could be built even faster. This is Nanyang's unique technology. I believe that with Nanyang's technical support, your country will soon be able to achieve industrialization!"

Steel structure factory building is a unique technology of Nanyang. This technology may seem insignificant, but because it can shorten the construction period, it has played an extremely important role in the industrialization process of Nanyang. After all, a 6000-square-meter factory building can be basically installed in just 40 days.

If it were replaced with a traditional factory building with brick, tile and concrete structure, the construction period would take at least half a year. It is precisely because of this that Nanyang was able to achieve industrial and economic take-off at an astonishing speed.

Now, along with Nanyang's overseas investment, steel structure factories have appeared all over the world, and Iran is of course no exception.

“Haha industrialization… an industrialized Iran!”

Pahlavi was so excited that he turned to Princess Nazi and said:

"Naz, did you hear that? Soon, our country will become an industrial country!"

"This is all because of your wise rule, father."

When Princess Naz was complimenting her father, the little boy in a suit beside her said curiously:
"Mom, what is industrialization?"

A three-year-old obviously didn't understand what industrialization was, but Naz explained it very simply.

"Industrialization means countries like Nanyang. Can we go to Nanyang together in a few days?"

When the little boy heard this, his eyes lit up immediately and he said:
"Going to Nanyang, great, great, there is my favorite amusement park there, and I also like the Spring Festival there, it's very lively..."

While the princess and her son were talking, Lou Yifan looked at them, and then turned his gaze to the other side. They were not the only ones attending the groundbreaking ceremony today. There were also envoys from other countries. When he saw the Iraqi ambassador among those envoys, he frowned and said to himself in his heart:
"Iraq……"

At this time, an Iranian officer walked up to him and smiled.

"Lieutenant Colonel Lou, I knew you would come. We can have a good chat today..."

Although he was interrupted, Lou Yifan didn't know if it was an illusion, he could feel that the Iraqi ambassador also turned his eyes to them...
