The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 648 Seeking Truth from Facts! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
When the cannon goes off, there is ten thousand taels of gold!

Why did Wu Aiguo wait several years to take action? It was because he was afraid that he wouldn't have enough money, food, and weapons.

I originally thought that this cleanup operation would definitely result in a loss.

At least that's how it appears on the surface!
As for the treacherous mountain forests that have been acquired, not to mention the difficulty of development, no one can guarantee when the output will generate a stable income.

Otherwise, this place wouldn't have been so chaotic in later generations, and it would never have been able to be cleaned up. Isn't it because it was too unprofitable?
To Wu Aiguo's surprise, the operation turned out to be profitable, and quite profitable at that.

The foreign currency seized directly from various villages and the strongholds of chieftains amounted to more than three million dollars.

Not even counting gold and jewelry, the majority of items are exquisite jade and gemstones.

If all of them were redeemed, it would amount to millions of dollars.

The connections of Hong Kong tycoon Fok are quite reliable.

The wealthy people and ladies over there also like these sparkly and glittering jewels and can afford to pay high prices for them.

So rich!
The money to buy a large amount of machinery and equipment domestically will then be available.

The domestic government is quite generous; the construction cost of small industrial factories, including machinery and equipment, does not exceed one million RMB.

For slightly larger factories, the total cost, including all expenses, is at most a little over one million RMB, which is quite reasonable.

All the personnel who came to provide support were provided free of charge by the Chinese authorities!
Wu Aiguo was naturally not stingy; his salary and benefits were all in accordance with the standards of the Northwest Branch, and he did not make any special exceptions.

Even so, it's enough to make the personnel dispatched domestically very happy.

This incident served as a reminder to Wu Aiguo.

He specifically instructed his special police officers to extract an anonymous deposit certificate for five million dollars from the prisoners.

If we interrogate them carefully, we might be able to get even more information.

Wu Aiguo did not do that, but instead secretly informed the Mandalay side through certain channels.

Sure enough, Mandalay hurriedly sent people over to take the person away.

In terms of ruthlessness, they are much stronger than the Northwest Branch.

Just then, with the establishment of small industrial factories supported by domestic resources, a new round of infrastructure construction began for the Northwest Branch.

This large-scale influx at this time is definitely a good thing for the Northwest Branch.

In fact, Wu Aiguo was not very clear why so many people had rushed to the Northwest Branch of Myanmar.

Although the Guiyang-Kunming Railway and the Chengdu-Kunming Railway in China have both been opened.

But coming back is not an easy thing.

These are legitimate measures taken by units that support comrades, and not only should they not be obstructed, but necessary logistical support should also be provided.

In other words, if there are applications from other places, the superior unit must respond promptly.

If there are no problems, the person should be sent away as soon as possible.

After entering the territory of the Northwest Branch of Myanmar, they immediately began a normal life of working and learning at the same time.

Putting everything else aside, the food is plentiful and there are meat and eggs to eat from time to time, which is much better than the hardship of living in the countryside in China.

They had become quite accustomed to this kind of life during their school years.

At the Northwest branch, we learned very practical skills that could be directly applied to our work and had a noticeable effect.

At the same time, the Northwest Branch also granted them apprenticeship status for part-time work and study, which meant they could receive apprentice wages and benefits on time.

This further boosted their enthusiasm. Under Wu Aiguo's arrangement, the Northwest branch also conducted some promotional work domestically, mainly through film documentaries.

This is a series of films specifically documenting the development of the Northwest branch.

Anyone who has seen the movie will have a basic understanding of Wu Aiguo's Northwest branch.

That was truly a scene of vibrant life, with everything bursting forth with vitality!
In particular, the new farms that Wu Aiguo has been working on are a feast for the eyes, and the smiles on the faces of the local residents in the documentary are genuine.

Of course, not all the scenes in the documentary series are inspiring or enviable.

There is also the harsh natural environment of the Northwest Branch, as well as the fact that the area is vast and sparsely populated.

Many important towns, such as Lashio, Taunggyi, and Kokang, lack sufficient trustworthy personnel to govern them.

However, the area that needs to be managed exceeds 200,000 square kilometers!

What a huge gap!
Moreover, the farm is the foundation of the Northwest Branch, and the employees and guards on the farm cannot be easily mobilized.

Smart people who see documentaries like this instantly see countless opportunities.

Those who are not so bright will naturally be affected and will look for opportunities to escape the harsh rural life.

At least, judging from the content of the documentary, the farm environment of the Northwest Branch is not much worse than that of small cities in China.

These documentaries, after obtaining approval from relevant domestic departments and leaders, were screened free of charge on a large scale in densely populated areas.

Naturally, this has caused a huge stir in an era of limited entertainment.

Wu Aiguo didn't add anything to it; he simply recorded the facts objectively. As for whether it's good or bad, let the audience judge for themselves.

This is exactly the result Wu Aiguo wanted!
He just didn't want his own family to suffer losses.

Following a series of documentary promotions, the number of people voluntarily applying to join the Northwest branch increased dramatically.

Since the government allows such documentaries to be shown, what do they have to worry about?

The level of trust that the people and groups had in the country at that time was unimaginable in later generations.

As a result, the Northwest Branch welcomed a large number of new employees.

Just then, the Northwest Branch launched a new round of infrastructure projects, including bridge and reservoir repairs, as well as the renovation of farms and towns.

There is no shortage of food, and there is no need to ask for aid from the country. This alone is enough to make them look good.

In contrast, there is a stark contrast in Eastern Europe called Albania.

In comparison, Wu Aiguo's performance was far superior to that of Hoxha, and he absolutely deserves a substantial investment.

There is no shortage of daily necessities, which is the greatest achievement of years of operation!
Unfortunately, we were lacking in production materials and tools, mainly due to a lack of funds.

Northern Myanmar is a poor and remote region.

Previously, places like Kokang, Lashio, and many others had already been ravaged.

To be honest, once Wu Aiguo takes over, it will be difficult to continue profiting in the short term.

Wu Aiguo was well aware of the differences between certain things: some things could be done, some things couldn't be done, and some things had to be done slowly.

Money is hard to earn these days.

Fortunately, Wu Aiguo had a wealth of knowledge in his mind, which allowed him to fully utilize the existing resources in his territory, process them, and put them into the market.

Making money is quite easy for him if he's willing.
