The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 653 The Land of Treasure! (Seeking monthly votes)
Huo Daheng and his entourage arrived at the First Red Flag Farm.

As the place where Wu Aiguo started his career, the First Red Flag Farm is naturally extraordinary and pleasing to the eye at first glance.

Six- to eight-story buildings stand tall, the streets are wide and clean, and flower beds and roadside trees dot the landscape, with a refreshing fragrance of flowers and trees wafting through the air.

The impression given to Huo Daheng and his associates was that, apart from the building's height being far from sufficient, it was in no way inferior to normal residential areas on Hong Kong Island.

Not to mention, the greenery here is excellent, far surpassing that of Hong Kong Island.

This made them feel very incredulous.

If they hadn't seen that the most common vehicles on the streets were old-fashioned bicycles, three-wheeled motorcycles, and hand tractors, they would have really thought that this was not the poor, backward, and war-torn country of Myanmar.

Just kidding, the planning standards and building patterns here are based on the construction of domestic towns in 2010.

At least in terms of appearance and various functions, it was much better than the residential areas on Hong Kong Island at that time.

What's lacking is all sorts of modern electrical appliances and tools.

Putting everything else aside, it certainly looks quite impressive.

"Hmm, there's a pager signal here too?"

At this moment, one of the accompanying members exclaimed, causing a small commotion.

Wu Aiguo and Huo Daheng exchanged a smile, their unspoken understanding unspoken.

Upon arriving at the guesthouse, the group rested briefly before gathering in a small conference room to begin trade negotiations with the Western Branch, represented by Wu Aiguo.

Some local specialties from the Northwest Branch's jurisdiction are quite popular in Hong Kong Island and even throughout the Chinese-speaking world.

For example, jade, and rubies and sapphires.

The Northwest branch produces an astonishing amount of these things.

Especially jadeite, which can be said to be unique in the world!
With the Northwest Branch taking over the entire northern region of Myanmar, the original supply of jade and gemstones to foreign countries suddenly stopped.

This caused the prices of these two items to skyrocket!
Hong Kong businessmen are indeed very bold, but they don't dare to openly contact the Northwest branch led by Wu Aiguo.

Besides, there's no such channel.

However, quite a few Burmese Chinese have moved to Hong Kong Island with their family fortunes.

Unfortunately, most of their interpersonal relationships were located in the bustling areas of Myanmar, which had nothing to do with the Northwest Branch.

The route through Siam is also completely blocked.

This time, Huo Daheng contacted a group of ambitious and daring Hong Kong businessmen, who were immediately tempted and quietly headed north.

Then, it arrived at the Northwest Branch through inland channels.

This journey has really worn them out!
However, once they arrived at the First Red Flag Farm, the environment and appearance of it were a refreshing surprise for these Hong Kong businessmen.

The modern urban atmosphere immediately dispelled their underestimation of the situation.

The food, fruits, and snacks at the guesthouse were much better than what we had in China.

It's not that there aren't good things in China, but the First Red Flag Farm is the flagship of the Northwest Branch, and its conditions are top-notch among all farms and towns.

The first impression it gave the visiting Hong Kong businessmen was that it was very powerful.

With tycoon Fok helping to make connections, the gains from this trip were likely substantial. And indeed they were!
The Northwest Branch, led by Wu Aiguo, not only possesses numerous jadeite veins but also a considerable number of high-quality jadeite pieces.

The exquisite jadeite seized during the previous "cleaning up the cancer" operation alone is of astonishing value.

Sure enough, when the Northwest branch brought out some jadeite, not only were the Hong Kong businessmen who specialized in jewelry tempted, but even tycoon Fok was somewhat interested.

It's absolutely gorgeous.

Finally, this batch of jadeite, along with many fine gemstones, was snapped up by visiting Hong Kong businessmen for a price of seven million dollars.

Wu Aiguo remained completely calm. Such a small amount of money was like a drop in the ocean, not causing the slightest ripple in his heart.

However, Chen, the deputy head of the delegation who witnessed the entire process, was completely dumbfounded and astonished.

In just a few days, Wu Aiguo's Northwest branch easily earned more than seven million dollars.

Moreover, Wu Aiguo signed letters of intent with these Hong Kong businessmen, stipulating that every two years, the Northwest Branch would provide a batch of high-quality jadeite materials at market prices.

In other words, the Northwest branch receives at least seven million dollars in revenue every two years.

Little did he know, this was just an appetizer.

There are so many great things in the Northwest Branch's jurisdiction!
There are several types of high-value timber alone.

These are all natural resources!
In fact, with Wu Aiguo around, the Northwest Branch will never lack good things that will interest Hong Kong businessmen.

Putting aside everything else, his exceptional biopharmaceutical skills would be among the best in the world at that time.

At that time, in the Western world, bioengineering and biopharmaceuticals had not yet moved from the laboratory to the factory and were still in their initial stages.

Combined with his superb skills in traditional Chinese medicine, the Northwest branch, though unassuming, actually excels in the research and development and manufacturing of traditional Chinese medicine.

Due to policy and environmental factors, a large number of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in China are not in a good situation.

Wu Aiguo seized the opportunity and strongly urged the domestic authorities to recruit proven traditional Chinese medicine doctors, as the Northwest branch could definitely afford to support them.

The domestic authorities also showed great respect, sending batches of well-known local TCM doctors to the Northwest branch under the guise of aid.

Their presence immediately raised the level of medical and health services in the Northwest Branch's jurisdiction by several notches.

Basically, every Red Flag Farm has one or more sizable traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, and of course, there are also many Western medicine doctors.

It can be said that at this time, the Northwest Branch was the place with the highest concentration of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, except for some major cities in China.

They received the treatment and respect they deserved here.

At the same time, Wu Aiguo provided them with ample opportunities to showcase their talents and offered them certain directions for development.

Traditional Chinese medicine tablets, preparations, and granules are products of the Bright Future Industry, created through the collaboration of many renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and with substantial investment from the Northwest branch. These products combine improved ancient formulas with modern industrial processes.

Of course, due to the special circumstances, these traditional Chinese medicines, which have fairly universal effects, have not yet exerted their due influence.

However, the Northwest Branch's jurisdiction, and even the neighboring southwestern Yunnan Province, have begun to enjoy the benefits.

Especially in the southwestern part of Yunnan Province, where the current medical conditions are even worse than those of the Northwest Branch, many of the traditional Chinese medicines produced here, as well as other works related to medicinal herbs, have become popular in the southwestern part of Yunnan Province.
