CHAPTER 2042: CHAPTER 1865: WORLD INTEGRATION ORGANIZATION

Look up.

Glanced at the calm Ling.

Recall the past.

I have never won a debate against Ling, so with my half-open mouth, I kept silent.

Hmm.

All right.

How could Ling’s decision have any issues? Lowering his head, Kan Qin continued reading, mostly skimming through the table of contents and paying special attention to certain matters, and finally, when he saw the additional benefits, his pupils contracted.

Very long.

But to sum up, it’s just two sentences.

Join.

Next year’s loan won’t have much unforeseen circumstances.

Don’t join.

Then you’ll have to thoroughly investigate.

Threat.

A blatant threat, but Kan Qin liked it. Take my money and don’t agree to my terms under such a relaxed trade framework? Then what’s the point of cooperation, an ingrate, no one likes.

"Snap!"

Closed it.

Kan Qin solemnly said: "I think it’s feasible."

"Good."

"Bring it up at the meeting tomorrow, announce it the day after tomorrow."

"..."

Kan Qin took a deep breath, as expected, the speed is like this again. Moreover, in the next moment, Kan Qin felt a bit fortunate because Ling said: "I will oversee this matter, Miao Ye will be responsible for the execution."

"Yes."

As long as it’s not thrown to me, it’s good.

This year.

Kan Qin is busier than last year. A trillion-dollar goal is like a mountain pressing down on his head, so it’s best to give such a long-term negotiation task to the relatively idle Miao Ye.

...

The next day.

At the meeting.

Ling formally proposed to advance the ’World Economic Cooperation and Mutual Aid Organization’, with the full name, this name is quite imposing, and at the meeting, others were directly stunned.

How arrogant.

A ’small country’ dare to use the word ’world’?

However.

No one opposed.

After all.

If you oppose, you’re admitting that Myanmar is too weak and not qualified to use it. Even if they think so in their hearts, they dare not show it. However, they may not say it, but the outside world won’t be so kind with words.

It seems.

A round of pessimism is inevitable.

Of course.

This is not a company. It’s not that you can establish it just by saying so. A state-level cooperation organization generally follows a ’multi-country initiation’ system where multiple countries together announce the establishment of an alliance.

Therefore.

Advancing.

Does not mean establishment.

In the future.

It will take at least several months of negotiations to reach agreements with members; it’s not something Myanmar can decide unilaterally. Wanting to establish it on your own and slowly absorb members is not applicable here.

Of course.

Multi-country initiation does not affect Myanmar’s rights. After all, this organization is based on Myanmar’s loans, with economic cooperation as an auxiliary; the primary and secondary still need to be distinguished.

Who’s got the money?

Who’s the boss.

Huh!

Suddenly.

They thought, what if a super-wealthy big shot joins? What then? This issue is thought-provoking. All right, this isn’t something they should ponder; surely Ling has thought of it.

...

Thailand.

Bangkok.

"What? World Economic Cooperation and Mutual Aid Organization? Ling... is he crazy?"

The executives were shocked.

Yes.

It must be, otherwise, how could such an ’absurd’ organization be proposed? World? Do you have the cheek to use this term, Mutual Aid? This term makes it sound like an underground organization; is it appropriate?

In short.

Countless complaints.

"Crazy, definitely not."

"Arrogant, that might be possible."

"Indeed.."

"World Economic Cooperation and Mutual Aid Organization, what a bold claim. Giving out loans, and you dare to mention mutual aid, laughable. How big is Myanmar after all, thinking that technology alone can sustain them forever? The tone was sour.

Once upon a time.

Myanmar.

This neighbor was very poor. They could look down, but now, looking up makes for a sore neck, and it’s no wonder a grudge forms in the heart. Even if African countries turn around like this, they wouldn’t be like this.

But the neighbor...

No go.

Just thinking about it is frustrating.

"Perhaps, they might really sustain forever."

Someone smirked.

"All right, whether they can sustain forever, I don’t know. All I know is we will never have a bite of this. Since that’s the case, stop with the nonsense and stick to the matter at hand."

The big shot.

Spoke up.

Everyone listened, indeed, speaking too much might lose stature.

"Why join such a wild organization?"

"Exactly."

"In the end, it might just turn into a joke. We also have to consider reputation."

"Agree."

"However, if we don’t join, isn’t it a bit too disrespectful to Myanmar? Besides, the terms seem good; at least the next time we apply for a loan, it might be relatively easier."

"This reason isn’t enough."

"Right."

"I think being cautious is better."

"..."

Both sides fiercely debated.

Agree.

Disagree.

Each had their reasons, one side focusing on practicality, the other on face, and it was deadlocked. However, the big shot remained silent; if he showed his stance, perhaps no meeting would be needed.

Several minutes later.

"All right."

"This matter, we’ll discuss it later. Everyone should go back and think about it thoroughly. We’ll continue tomorrow," the big shot spoke. This matter can’t be decided in one or two days; there are many negotiations to follow.

No rush.

Upon hearing this.

Everyone stopped arguing.

"This matter, whether joining or not joining, both have ample reasons; however, we need to find the choice that best aligns with Thailand’s interests, how to gain interests while also considering risks."

Face.

Replaced by ’risk.’

...

Africa.

Congo Gold.

"What?"

Waite was also startled.

World Economic Cooperation and Mutual Aid Organization?

Mutual Aid?

Are you sure it’s not an ’illegal organization,’? All right, maybe it’s not, unlike Thailand, there’s only admiration and no jealousy towards Myanmar’s rise, no resistance.

Meeting.

A wave of praise.

"Not bad."

"Pretty good."

"We lack international funds. The previous times, Myanmar provided loans worth over 40 billion Asia Dollars. It’s our friend, a true friend. I think we should join as soon as possible."

"As soon as possible?"

"Isn’t that too urgent?"

"Exactly."

"Shouldn’t we observe for a while?"

"..."

Most people were puzzled.

At this point.

That person explained: "This organization is different from usual economic cooperation organizations. We all know what it’s based on; given that, our main demand is also it."

"Therefore."

"Going back to the essence, by joining earlier, Myanmar’s impression of us will be good. You know, such national alliances generally don’t care for non-geographic countries and regions."

"Now."

"Breaking geographical limitations."

"Allowing a large number of African countries to enter, this is our opportunity, being late might affect tangible benefits. I think many African countries are willing to join."

"So."

"My hypothesis: The earlier, the greater the benefits."

"Moreover."

"As friends,"

"We should also express something."

When the words fell.

The conference room fell into silence. Listening to this, it makes sense. Regardless of the outcome, the loan is in hand, real money, which can buy a large number of goods and services with no loss.

On the contrary.

If we don’t join.

Or hesitate, Myanmar’s support may also come slowly.
