Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 836 Uncle Sam's Worries

   The next morning

   Before Uncle Sam's family got up, Yang Chen had already practiced his fists in the yard.

   After a long period of practice, Yang Chen's appetite has begun to slowly control, it doesn't mean that he can remove the halo of the rice bucket on his head.

   It was some old Chinese medicine practitioners he had invited from the inland, and he developed several oral liquids together with local Chinese medicine and Western medicine in Xiangjiang.

  Dabu Oral Liquid of various flavors, he only needs to drink two doses in the morning to control his appetite well, and he no longer needs to take a bowl to eat every meal as before.

   After having a sumptuous dinner at Uncle Sam's house yesterday, Yang Chen didn't leave immediately, he was left by Uncle Sam's family and rested for the night at the farm.

  The small town of Bentonville, before the Walton family became famous, few outsiders came here.

   Therefore, the town did not provide a hotel for outsiders to live in, so Yang Chen and his party could only choose to stay at the farm.

   The purpose of Uncle Sam's invitation to come here this time, he didn't talk about the business, and Yang Chen didn't want to leave in such a mindless manner before he figured out the matter.

   Early in the morning, not long after dawn, Uncle Sam also came out of the room. Seeing Yang Chen practicing boxing in the yard, Uncle Sam's eyes suddenly lit up.

   "Oh, Chinese Kung Fu." Uncle Sam's tone was a little surprised. Even though Uncle Sam was in his 60s, he liked Chinese Kung Fu very much.

   In the 1970s, Li Xiaolong set off a kung fu craze overseas, and the American people were the most affected group at that time.

  Chinese Kung Fu became the first impression Americans had on Chinese people at that time. Later, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie and other Kung Fu stars broke into Hollywood with Chinese Kung Fu.

  The reason why they are welcomed by Hollywood and Americans all comes from the foundation laid by Li Xiaolong in the United States in the early days, which is also the reason why Li Xiaolong was later regarded as a myth.

  Why do later generations hold Li Xiaolong so high?

   It's not about how good his movies are, how fast his punches are, how much he can beat anyone with one punch, how much everyone likes him, and so on.

   Yang Chen has also watched Li Xiaolong's early films. To tell the truth, Yang Chen personally felt that a few films were nothing to watch, and he only remembered Li Xiaolong's signature cry during the whole process.

   It's not that Li Xiaolong's filming is not good, mainly because of the film technology in the 1970s, the visual effects produced by the filming are difficult to satisfy our preferences in later generations who are used to seeing special effects.

   Compared with Li Xiaolong's films, everyone probably prefers Cheng Long's comedy kung fu films.

   Therefore, Li Xiaolong's status does not come from his achievements in movies, but his contribution to spreading Chinese Kung Fu and culture to the world, that he has achieved such a high status.

   "Mr. Sam, good morning." Yang Chen stopped and nodded to greet Uncle Sam who came to him.

   "Good morning, Yang" Uncle Sam asked while gesturing, "You just...is that Chinese Kung Fu?"

   "Yes, Chinese Kung Fu" Yang Chen nodded.

   took the towel handed over by the soldier on the side, and Yang Chen wiped the sweat off his body as if nothing had happened, not at all affected by the cold weather outside.

   Yang Chen's sturdy body made Uncle Sam look a little envious, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh, "It's great to be young!"

  Man should be the strangest animal on earth. When we were young, everyone thought more about how to make money, how to become famous, and how to enjoy glory and wealth.

   But when people get older, people's mentality changes again, they start to envy young people again, they envy young people for having a healthy body and mentality.

   In short, people's desires make people never feel satisfied. No matter whether they succeed or fail, they each have their own troubles.

   After sighing with emotion, Uncle Sam and Yang Chen stretched their muscles and bones while chatting. When their spirits came, they said, "Yang, are you interested in accompany me to visit my dairy farm?"

   "The New York Times reported earlier that you bought land in Australia several times the size of the United Kingdom and became the richest man with the most private land in the world. Australia is a very suitable region for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry..."

"Mr. Sam, I think you must know what North Australia is like. To be honest, I just want to try where I invest. According to the current situation in North Australia, there are not ten or twenty years. It is difficult to develop from all aspects…”

   Yang Chen's words are half true and half false. If you want to develop North Australia in an all-round way and develop all walks of life in North Australia, I am afraid that ten or twenty years will be less.

  The biggest problem in Northern Australia is that there is insufficient population and labor force. Without sufficient population, it is difficult to develop even if the environment is good.

Of course, if only for a single economic development, such as agriculture and animal husbandry, in today's large-scale mechanization has been popularized, as long as Yang Chen is willing to invest and speed up the construction of infrastructure, it will not be difficult to develop Northern Australia in a few years. .

   Of course, it mainly depends on how he does it, and the quality of the construction team. If it is the white gentlemen in Europe and the United States, he would not dare to invest a lot of money to develop North Australia.

   It is precisely because the Australian government gave him an opening, allowing him to introduce a large number of Chinese immigrants through Hong Kong, that he has the confidence to do such a big thing.

   These days, the title of Chinese infrastructure maniac has not been recognized by the world, and everyone can't imagine what China's speed is like. Uncle Sam can only think according to his own experience and his own ideas.

   For Yang Chen's investment in Australia, laymen may not see much, but Uncle Sam can clearly see the essence of Yang Chen's investment in Australia.

  Australia is not only a country rich in mining, but also very developed in agriculture and animal husbandry. Walmart, as a company mainly engaged in retail business, is closely related to agriculture and animal husbandry.

  Yang Chen invested in Australia and signed a series of cooperation matters with the Australian government, all of which are aimed at establishing a sustainable and circular ecological supply link for its Carrefour company.

   Once this sustainable circular ecological supply link is established, the operating cost of the entire system will be reduced to the extreme, even more advantageous than the current Walmart supermarket specials.

  Walmart's biggest advantage is to control costs from all aspects, and then give customers the greatest discounts. Its specials are the most popular marketing methods for customers.

   Once Carrefour controls the cost to a lower level than Walmart, it will inevitably have an adverse impact on Walmart's subsequent expansion of overseas markets.

   This is what worries Uncle Sam the most.
