Walking out of the trading floor, not far away is the crowded Aoba Plaza.

Lai Shengli felt a wave of heat coming towards his face, and he and Ahasi walked together to the Yangon Hotel, more than 400 meters away.

There are very few private cars on the roadside, but a lot of buses and taxis.

At this time, it is the peak period after get off work, and there is a lot of people on the street.

As the largest city in Hongsawady, Yangon currently has a population of 8.3 million.

As Lai Shengli and Ahasi walked, they looked at the people passing by. Almost more than a third of the passers-by were wearing work clothes from the three major groups.

This is very easy to identify. The logo of Qingye Group is a green tea leaf pattern, the logo of Development Group is a golden gear and two crossed long knives, and the United Group is a string of emerald beads and two ears of rice.

‘The proportion has gone up again. ’ Lai Shengli muttered secretly.

It has been almost a year since he came to work in Yangon. At the beginning, the proportion of employees in the three major groups was only about one-tenth of the total population of Yangon. Now this proportion has almost increased to close to one-third.

This shows how terrifying the expansion of the three major groups is.

Now the entire city is basically filled with employees and relatives of the three major groups.

Lai Shengli felt inexplicably familiar with this model, and felt a little bit paradoxical.

Ahasi, who came from Persia, was also very unfit for the social operating model of Hongsawady. Almost everything here was closely related to the three major groups. He could not even avoid the three major groups for a meal.

The two came to the Yangon Hotel, which is owned by the United Group.

There are not a few people who come here to eat, especially employees of multinational companies like Lai Shengli and Ahasi, who basically eat at the Yangon Grand Hotel.

It's not that it's mandatory to eat at Yangon Grand Hotel, but it's the closest to the trade center, the food tastes good and the price is more suitable.

As soon as he entered the door, Lai Shengli met Li Xingchen, the business manager of Huahai Oil Company, and said hello to him. The other person seemed to be a little enthusiastic about Ahasi, so he invited him to have dinner with him.

Inside the private room on the third floor.

They chatted while waiting for the food to be served.

After a while, the waiter pushed the cart and served them food.

Taking into account Ahasi's special eating habits, Lai Shengli specially ordered mutton finger rice, tomato beef brisket pot, beef stir-fried kale, cream of mushroom soup and freshly squeezed juice.

"President Ahasi, you're welcome."

"Haha, I won't be polite to Manager Lai." Ahasi looked at the rice in front of him and suddenly felt a little emotional: "The agricultural potential of Hongsawady is so enviable!"

Li Xingchen smiled and shook his head: "President Ahasi is envious of Hongsawady's agricultural potential. Maybe others are also envious of Persia's rich oil and natural gas."

After taking a bite of mutton, Ahasi knew why Li Xingchen was looking for him. He smiled and asked:

"Manager Li, I don't have any objections to your company's wish to import more natural gas. It's just that our company wishes to import a batch of drones..."

"In this regard, I can help with introductions." Li Xingchen knew that the other party must have other requirements.

After all, in this transaction, Persia will use the Chinese dollar as the settlement currency. The Chinese dollar is a credit currency and does not maintain its value like the gold dollar, so it must be spent as soon as possible.

However, Persia does not dare to make excessive demands, mainly because the current external environment in Persia is worse than that of Hongsawady.

At least with Hongsawati's alliances in Southeast Asia and the importance of new drugs, many forces are reluctant to offend Hongsawati at this time.

Persia has a lot of oil and natural gas, and has been blocked by Europe and the United States for a long time. The internal environment is very unstable.

Ahashi picked up the freshly squeezed juice: "Then it will be a pleasure to cooperate."

Li Xingchen also picked up the cup.

The two clinked glasses.

“A pleasure to work with.”

After eating and drinking for a while, Lai Shengli, who was sitting next to the floor-to-ceiling window, suddenly saw the heads of Bunge and Cargill in Yangon, walking across the road, apparently coming to the Yangon Hotel for dinner.

Ahashi followed his gaze and saw the figure on the street. He turned his head and asked:

"People from ABCD? Why does Manager Lai pay attention to these vampires?"

Lai Shengli narrowed his eyes and said pointedly: "These guys have become active again recently. I don't know if people from the three major groups have noticed it."

"They are looking for death. The three major groups are not easy to mess with, especially here in Hongsawady." Li Xingchen, who knew some inside stories, sneered.

Ahashi, on the other hand, smiled and said nothing. He knew that America, behind ABCD, often used this method to color other regions.

It’s just that Hongsawady is completely different from other areas.

Ahasi even felt that Persia was not as closed as Hungsavady.

You are right, Ahasi thinks that Hungsavady is very insular.

Persia's blockade was an external blockade, which caused an excessive stress response internally and had to be passively blocked.

The closure of Hongsawadi does not mean that there are any closed regulations and restrictions per se, but an invisible barrier composed of three major groups.

This invisible barrier is the real reason why Hongshawadi is closed.

In other places, America can easily find a large number of converts who lead the way, and there are even converts who bring their own dog food. By spreading money, they can build up a large fifth column waving flags.

But in Hongsawady, America's routine was a bit out of place.

They are mainly employees of the three major groups, accounting for 32.3% of the total population of Hongsawady. If the armed security forces and official institutions of Hongsawady are included, the proportion will reach about 40%.

In other words, on average, 4 out of every 10 people in Hongsawady are members of the three major groups and the government.

Including the family members, relatives and friends of these people, 99% of the population in Nahunsawady belongs to the insiders of the three major groups.

Less than one percent of the population is small-rich, wealthy self-employed, or employees of multinational companies.

So how does America spread the money?

The three major groups have almost all-pervasive control over their employees, and employees do not dare to betray the company easily.

Nowadays, there is a popular rumor among the people in Hongsawady, which probably means: I would rather offend the Buddha than the three major groups.

The reason is naturally very simple, because they were targeted by the three major groups in Hongsawady, and even escaping to the deep mountains and old forests was of no use.

In the past, in the daily management of the three major groups, many employees were punished and demoted. They felt that the company was too harsh on them, and then they resigned.

These people now regret it to death.

Because now within Hongsawady, except for the three major groups that have enough positions, there are no other jobs.

Even if I want to go back to the countryside to farm, there is actually no other way.

Although the three major groups will not directly grab land, in order to farm, water conservancy facilities, pesticides and fertilizers, agricultural machinery and tools, seeds and sales channels are always needed, right?

The three major groups can directly lock you down.

Under normal circumstances, the three major groups will not fire employees, but will only use demotion, fines, exile, imprisonment, or direct shooting, but there is no such option as firing.

If you choose to resign, unless you can immigrate, you will be unable to move around in Hongsawady and will directly become a marginal blacklisted refugee.

Of course, after becoming a blacklisted refugee, you still have the opportunity to change the status quo, and that is to apply to work as a pioneer worker in a pioneering area with a relatively high risk level.

Usually, as long as you work honestly in the development zone for five years, you can be lifted from the blacklist restrictions and be re-accepted by the three major groups.

With the strict control system of the three major groups, America may be able to bribe dozens of people in Hongsawady, but once the number of people exceeds a hundred, the probability of being exposed is almost 100%.

It was precisely because Ahasi understood part of the situation that he felt that Hungsavady was very closed and difficult to penetrate.
