Chen Yang picked up the report from the Investment Promotion Department and read it.
Recently, many businessmen have come to Yan Guo to invest, and many have even bought houses.
This did not surprise him.
A country with sustainable economic development and great potential will naturally attract foreign investors.
Buying a house is the simplest way to invest.
Now, the price of a house in Yan Guo is only two or three hundred thousand, which is cheap in any country.
Rich people don't mind buying more.
However, according to Yan Guo's purchase restriction laws, non-foreign citizens can only buy one set.
There are also restrictions on where you can buy.
Of course, this restriction is nothing to the truly rich.
But in addition to the purchase restrictions, Yan Guo's value-added tax is very high.
The reason for doing this is to allow someone to maliciously drive up house prices.
He doesn't want to see the country's house prices start to skyrocket before the economy takes off.
At this moment, the landline on the desk suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone, and the call from the Investment Promotion Department rang on the other end.
"China Third Construction Engineering Corporation? Okay, let them come."
People from China Third Construction Engineering Corporation have been looking for him for a long time, but since the pirates appeared, Chen Yang has been busy and has no time.
Chen Yang was also speechless. If you want to invest, just invest directly. Why are you looking for me?
About half an hour later, several men walked in.
Mr. Lin from China Third Construction Engineering Corporation forced a smile and said, "King Chen Yang, let me introduce you. This is the vice president of our Longguo Wanxiang Tourism Group, Yuan Hai."
Yuan Hai hurriedly shook Chen Yang's hand and introduced himself.
A few people sat down, and Chen Yang asked, "What does Mr. Yuan want to invest in?"
Yuan Hai said, "I have been inspecting Yan Guo for some time now and found that Yan Guo's tourism development is a bit too strict for beach vacations. Resorts can only attract a few tourists, but I think that tourism in cities can also be developed properly. It can attract more tourists."
Chen Yang is very busy and really doesn't have much time to consider these detailed issues.
But Yuan Hai was right. There was nothing interesting in Yan City, and there were no historical buildings.
Chen Yang asked, "Mr. Yuan, do you have any suggestions?"
Yuan Hai said, "I think a large playground can be developed and built in Yan City. In addition, a botanical garden, a zoo, and an aquarium can also be built. Especially the botanical garden and the aquarium."
"Yan Guo has a unique environment. It would be a waste not to build a botanical garden and an aquarium."
Yuan Hai continued, "Our company has completed dozens of projects in China and has rich experience in the construction and operation of playgrounds."
Chen Yang asked, "How long does it take to build a playground?"
Yuan Hai said, "About a year and a half."
Chen Yang shook his head, "Too slow."
Yuan Hai had long heard that Yan Guo was extremely fast in building infrastructure, and even built houses at an alarming speed.
He had already prepared for this. He purposely said this for a year and a half. If he really wanted to speed up, it would definitely be possible.
Yuan Hai said, "If we hurry up, the construction period can be shortened to one year. If King Chen wants to open as soon as possible, he can also divide the amusement park into several phases and open after part of the site is completed."
Chen Yang pondered for a few seconds and said, "Submit the plan to the Investment Promotion Department, and there will be a dedicated person there to review it."
Yan City has been built, and it is not easy to continue to arrange engineering robots.
After all, the engineering robot does not need to eat or drink 24 hours a day and can continue to work.
If locals or tourists see this, they will be scared to death. "Okay, I'll have someone send the plan later."
Yuan Hai asked again, "What does King Chen think of the zoo, botanical garden, and aquarium?"
Chen Yang said, "Let's talk about it for now. The country will have its own plans later."
One company can't know everything. Yuan Hai's company has supposedly completed dozens of projects, but it's impossible to complete them all, right?
It's nothing more than falling in love with Yan Guo's potential and wanting to grab a slice of the pie in the early stages.
But Chen Yang doesn't plan to hand over these projects.
These three projects all require large amounts of land.
And the related construction is not that complicated.
If it were built according to the original ecological zoo and botanical garden, he would only need to fence off a piece of land.
The most expensive one is the aquarium.
Yan Guo is close to the sea. If an underwater aquarium can be built along the coast, it will definitely attract tourists from all over the world.
Chen Yang wrote this down and decided to take some time to think about it.
After a few people left, Chen Yang's cell phone rang again.
This time, it was a call from a senior executive from Apple.
"Mr. Chen, there is a senior executive from Apple Inc. who wants to come to our company."
Chen Yang raised his eyebrows, does the senior management of Apple Inc want to change jobs and come to my company?
Chen Yang asked the senior executive to send the other party's information via email.
The email was sent quickly, and Chen Yang looked over the other party's information.
The 41-year-old man is from Apple Inc's California branch. He is the vice president of the branch, has a technical background, and has six years of work experience at Apple Inc.
The annual salary is 1.1 million US dollars, and there are stock options.
This income is really not low.
It is normal to change jobs, but this man is from Apple Inc and is also the vice president of the branch. He has an annual salary of one million US dollars and stock options.
The main thing is that this person is no longer young.
Suddenly, Chen Yang wanted to change jobs and come to Pear. This operation was unacceptable, and Chen Yang did not think much about it.
Especially in the recent period, there has been almost no movement at Apple Inc.
Chen Yang took a closer look and found that the other party's requirements for changing jobs were not low. The annual salary could not be lower than that of Apple Inc., and they also needed shares.
Those who can meet this condition must be in the senior management positions of Apple Inc.
If it was really an instruction from Apple Inc., this behavior would be a bit obvious.
Moreover, Pear's products have already been manufactured, and there is no shortage of this group of people.
The core management team is now under Chen Yang's exclusive control.
Chen Yang was a little puzzled as to where the other party got so much trust.
After thinking about it, Chen Yang replied to the email and sent his conditions.
Annual salary of 276 thousand dollars, engineer in the mobile phone R&D department, no shares, no management rights.
Compared with the other party's original conditions, these conditions can be considered very poor.
The other party will definitely not agree.
But Chen Yang didn't care.
If nothing else, the other party will not refuse immediately and will definitely negotiate.
As long as he negotiates, it is basically certain that this person's application is to go to the company's senior management to accept the offer.
In fact, Chen Yang doesn't care about this person.
Although he came from a technical background, he later switched to management, and he still has some skills, who knows.
But he wanted to know exactly what Apple Inc wanted to do by arranging for this person to come.
Commercial espionage?
For a company that almost crushes its opponents at the product level, it is not afraid of commercial espionage.
Moreover, with the position he assigned to the other party, the company's core information is out of reach.
The most important thing is to know what month and day Pear's next product will be released, how much it will cost, and some information about the appearance of the product.
This does not pose any threat to Pear.
After the email was sent, Chen Yang ignored it.
At this time, his cell phone rang again, it was a call from the Ministry of Defense.
The weapons from China have been delivered.
Chen Yang went to the dock and received the weapons in person.
He bought four missile boats, four escort boats, and two frigates.
The quantity is not large, the main purpose is to buy them to decorate the facade.
The weapons from the United States will take a while, but the Navy can already equip them in advance.
After the people escorting the weapons and equipment from China left, he boarded the ship and bought the corresponding assistant robot.
Two of the missile speedboats were left behind, and the remaining escort boats and frigates sailed towards the areas around Yan Guo Island.
As of today, Yan Guo finally has its own navy.
Although it is still very weak for now, it has finally taken shape and has some military strength.
Now that the navy is here, it is time to put an end to piracy.
Back in the office, Chen Yang asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to contact Singapore, Malaysia and India to jointly discuss matters related to piracy in the Strait of Malacca.
Speaking of joint discussion is actually informing them.
Because Chen Yang knew that they would definitely dodge it.
Ink stamp, in the conference room of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The diplomats were sitting in the conference room with serious faces, discussing what they had just learned.
"Join us to solve the pirates? If we can really solve it, why would we use it as a reminder?"
"What is Yan Guo thinking? Isn't the pirate incident a thing of the past?"
"Yes, as for holding on to it like this?"
"How to respond to this matter?"
They all looked at the Foreign Minister.
This is a request made by a country to their country, and nominally, they cannot refuse.
Fighting pirates... no, to be precise, suppressing bandits.
If you refuse, you will definitely be reprimanded as soon as the news spreads.
Fighting bandits is a good thing, but for them, it is a thankless task.
Are pirates that easy to deal with?
Even if you catch a group today, another group will appear tomorrow.
There is no end to catching pirates.
Generally speaking, if such conditions exist in an area, pirates will inevitably appear in a constant stream.
First, it is on an important route, and ships entering and leaving the country are restricted by geographical factors and can only choose to approach the coast of the area.
Second, the region has not established an effective government to enforce national or international law.
Third, the area must have a large unskilled labor force.
The Strait of Malacca meets only these three conditions.
If you want to completely eliminate pirates in this area, you must start with the national economy.
When the economy improves and people have serious jobs and can support their families, they will not take desperate risks.
But here is the problem.
Of the three countries in this region, except Singapore, the other two countries simply cannot solve poverty in a short period of time.
The Foreign Minister has a headache. There is something wrong with this country Yan Guo!
He had no control over this matter and had to report it to a meeting.
However, he estimated that the country would probably ignore it.
Pirates have always existed, and now they are at a level that everyone can accept.
At this time, military power is wasted on dealing with pirates, and it may also cause casualties. There is no need for that.
If Yan Guo is willing to deal with it, you can deal with it yourself.
On the other side, the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Singapore and Malaysia are also meeting...
Their analysis was quite different from that of India, but in the end they still couldn't make a decision and had to report it.
Chen Yang is in no hurry, just wait.
But he couldn't wait forever.
Within a week, if there is no response, he will make it public directly.
In short, these pirates must be killed. There is no room for negotiation or compromise.
Time passed silently.
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, the Apple Inc. executive negotiated terms with Pear.
Annual salary of 455 thousand, no equity participation, senior engineer, provisional contract for one year.
When Chen Yang heard about this, he was 100% sure that this guy was the spy assigned by Apple Inc.
He gave up his annual salary of one million US dollars and took his normal annual salary to cross the ocean and come to work in Yan Guo. If you say you have no plans, not even ghosts will believe you.
Chen Yang doesn't care about this matter. He doesn't care whether you are commercial espionage or not.
He doesn't have access to the core technology anyway. A week passed and Chen Yang didn't wait for any response from the three countries.
He knew that these three countries were planning to delay things. He asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to keep in touch.
No, this time it's not a contact, it's a notification. Inform them that if the three countries don't agree to join forces, Yan Guo will carry out a comprehensive attack on all the pirates in the Strait of Malacca alone.
This time, the three countries responded quickly. The general idea is that our country strongly agrees with this matter, but since the Navy's preparation takes time, it will take at least a year to start.
If Yan Guo can't wait any longer, he can go first.
However, you are not allowed to enter my country's territorial waters.
After receiving the response from the three countries, Chen Yang sneered.
The next day at noon, Chen Yang started the live broadcast.
"What else does the boss want to report?"
"By the way, is there any news about what happened to those pirates before?"
"That's right. I heard in Marais that some pirate families went to the police to ask for people to be rescued, hahaha."
"A pirate family?"
"That's so cool. You know your man is a pirate, but you still have the nerve to ask for help."
"So they were rescued in the end?"
"Definitely not. It's hundreds of nautical miles away. Were you joking back then?"
"Probably already thrown to the sharks."
Chen Yang said, "Good afternoon, everyone."
"The broadcast starts today, and I have a special announcement."
"Starting today, Yan Guo's Navy will go to the Strait of Malacca to conduct anti-piracy operations!"
"Yan Guo has discussed this matter with the three countries of Singapore, India, and Malaysia. The three countries have expressed support for Yan Guo's actions, but there is no military support. Therefore, this time, we are fighting piracy. The action will be carried out by Yan Guo alone."
Hearing Chen Yang's words, netizens were shocked.
"Fighting pirates?"
"Damn, Brother Yang, are you a wolf?"
"Isn't this over yet?"
"Amazing, Yan Guo is the first country I've ever seen that takes the initiative to crack down on pirates."
"That's amazing, bro!"
"So these three countries only give verbal support?"
"It's obvious that they have pirates at their doorstep, but they don't even show any signs of it. How disgusting."
"I even doubt whether they are pirates created by their own employees."
"Support Yan Guo!"
"You must notify us in time when there are results!"
Chen Yang said, "Yan Guo has decided to announce the results in Phase 4, so stay tuned."
After that, the live broadcast ended.
This incident was too sudden.
But all the netizens who heard about this incident expressed their support.
When all the countries heard about it, their faces twisted, and they all thought that Yan Guo was crazy.
They knew that Yan Guo formed his own military force because of the pirates.
But they really didn't expect that Yan Guo would catch the pirates.
As soon as the navy was established, it was already going to fight against pirates, which left them speechless.
Pirates are very moderate in what they do, and bloodshed rarely occurs.
They just want money.
That's why countries have no intention of launching navies to combat piracy.
Firstly, the problem was not that big.
Secondly, the pirates are too scattered. Unless the local government can cooperate, it is impossible to catch them all.
But if the local government wants to cooperate, it will need a large number of police officers.
For them, it's not worth it.
But Yan Guo traveled thousands of miles to attack.
This isn't about fighting piracy, it's just burning money.
The pirates in Malacca also saw this.
They were shocked.
I'm afraid Yan Guo's head got stuck in the door.
Why are you targeting us like this?
The three pirates who robbed you were all thrown into the sea by you. Does this have anything to do with us?
Besides, we have no intention of robbing you.
They had already settled the matter, but Yan Guo suddenly jumped out and threatened to attack them.
Even a clay figurine has three points of fire.
Do you really treat us like soft persimmons?
The pirates couldn't bear it anymore.
But, you have to bear it if you can't bear it.
Even if pirates have weapons, they are no match for a country's navy.
In the past, it would have been fine if Yan Guo didn't have an army, but now that he did, they could only hide.
But what they didn't know was that there was no point in hiding.
Since Chen Yang had decided to fight pirates, he was naturally well prepared.
