Chapter 460 A Tumultuous Tribe! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Sometimes, Wu Feng really wonders if some people have any brains at all.
Making money through information asymmetry has even reached the gates of factory groups.

Didn't you ask around and find out that the factory group's headquarters are in Hong Kong Island?

To be honest, the best way to study at a prestigious university abroad is through a government-funded program.

Putting aside the huge burden of tuition and learning expenses, it is still more secure in terms of safety.

Moreover, the employees within the factory group are not as biased towards Europe and America as other mainland Chinese people.

The main reason was that Wu Feng spared no effort in collecting and personally filming footage through reporters dispatched by television stations and newspapers, which was often played internally during factory group employee gatherings.

There are also Chinese-language television stations in the United States.

However, they only serve the Chinese community and their influence is strictly limited; it doesn't mean they don't have real video footage.

Generally speaking, Chinese Americans who appear on television and in newspapers are mostly successful people, either very wealthy or well-known scholars or scientists.

Most of the students who get the chance to appear on camera are top students from prestigious universities.

They seem to radiate the dazzling aura of 'success,' attracting so much attention that people subconsciously overlook everything else.

In reality, most Chinese people in the United States belong to the lower class of society, and their lives are not as easy as one might imagine.

The video footage that Wu Feng obtained showed the living conditions of many low-income Chinese Americans, which were far from good.

The United States has severe discrimination against people of color, and the Chinese community is among the lowest-status groups of people of color.

Unless you're a true academic superstar who changes your fate by studying hard and getting into a prestigious university, life won't be so easy.

The social order in the United States is also quite good.

With money, you can enjoy the best security environment; without money, you're surrounded by thugs who might commit violence.

Moreover, bullying is quite common in American high schools.

In fact, Wu Feng couldn't quite understand why some mainland parents would send their children to the United States at such a young age, or even start their education there from junior high school.

Even if a child attends a so-called prestigious school, the impact of being in an unfamiliar environment can be quite significant.

It's okay if parents accompany students while they study; if parents aren't around to supervise and restrain them, they can easily go astray.

To be honest, the teaching quality of junior and senior high schools in mainland China is exceptionally high.

As for the nonsense about holistic education, just listen to it and don't take it seriously!

It's a well-known school in the United States, and it's pretty much the same situation.

In short, after seeing the living conditions of many ordinary Chinese people in the United States, as well as the learning environment of Chinese students, the factory group's employees have basically given up the idea of ​​sending their children to study abroad at a young age.

Of course, if you have enough money, you don't need to worry about anything; in the United States, money can solve most problems.

In reality, it's best not to go to Europe or America for study during high school or even the first or second year of university, as students are not mentally mature at that time.

In fact, the employee schools within the factory group were top-notch in terms of both teaching quality and learning environment, even by today's standards in mainland China.

Sending your child to a so-called private elite school to cultivate connections when your family's financial situation isn't at a certain level is just asking for trouble.

If things go wrong, a perfectly healthy child could be affected and become completely ruined.

Besides, don't so-called private elite schools also consider college admission rates and value which good universities their students can get into?
Leaving aside the minor troubles Wu Feng encountered while staying in the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone, the unnamed region was already showing signs of chaos.

Numerous well-known figures from Hong Kong Island and mainland China, through connections with a newly opened mining company, have made their way to northern Myanmar and other unspecified regions to cause trouble.

The first to suffer are the major jade and gem mines in northern Myanmar.

At this time, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and the economically developed coastal areas of mainland China had already seen a surge in demand for jadeite and natural gemstone jewelry.

There's no doubt that this craze for jade and gemstone jewelry was created by Wu Feng and his allies.

The goal is to achieve widespread and impactful coverage through movies, TV series, novels, comics, and animated films.

The results are absolutely fantastic!

Mainland China has always had a natural preference for jade jewelry.

As a result, wealthy people in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan also have a great fondness for jade jewelry.

At that time, diamonds were not as well-known or exaggerated in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and mainland China.

Wu Feng, on the other hand, was able to obtain a large quantity of raw jadeite from northern Myanmar, and naturally wanted to develop and utilize it properly.

As for the Tung Sing, Lien Shing, and other triad groups, they control a large amount of jade, pearls, and natural gemstones delivered from the mainland, and naturally they want to maximize their profits.

Then, Wu Feng's mining company offered a very generous bounty redemption list to the martial arts heroes who ventured into northern Myanmar and other unspecified areas.

The prices of various raw jadeite are clearly stated!
This is a big deal!

The seasoned veterans who had just entered these jadeite mining areas never imagined that raw jadeite could be so profitable.

The rarer the jadeite ore, the higher its value.

If it's a piece of jadeite rough with a glassy texture or even imperial green quality, weighing tens of kilograms, it can easily sell for millions or even tens of millions of yuan.

Even ordinary jadeite ore, if there are many of them, can amount to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in profit.

The only slightly troublesome issue is transportation.

But for those powerful figures in the underworld who are only interested in making money, or rather, making a lot of money, this is no trouble at all.

They quickly made contact with miners in major jade mining areas.

Once accurate intelligence is obtained, precise strikes and ambushes will be launched against vehicles or convoys transporting raw jadeite.

In a short period of time, transport convoys from numerous jade mines in northern Myanmar were robbed, resulting in the loss of jade and gemstone ore worth tens of millions of dollars.

In an instant, the powerful clans in northern Myanmar were enraged and launched a campaign to eliminate those formidable figures in the martial arts world.

Then, the border regions of Siam that are close to unspecified areas were greatly affected.

Firstly, the normal operation of jadeite ore and natural gemstone mines, as well as underground trade, has been greatly affected, with transaction volume shrinking by more than 60%.

After that, the local powerful families in the unspecified region also suffered, and their pill business was impacted, leading to instability in the border areas of Siam.
