"Karachi, easy to defend and hard to attack. Give me ten years, and it will surely become a hub of tourism and commerce."
Ye Hao spoke with complete confidence.
Ye Hao's confidence came from his ideas. The cities surrounding Karachi have vast stretches of Primordial Forest, and at the edge of the forest lies the sea, which can be developed into a bay even more beautiful than Hawaii.
In this era of little turmoil, there would be no naval battles, so Ye Hao had a bold idea: to build the world's longest beach, the world's largest ocean entertainment center, the Sky Garden, Primordial Forest adventures, and more.
The construction of the Sky Garden is certain to attract many visitors.
This Sky Garden that Ye Hao plans to build will connect the peaks of two mountains, with a fully glass base, allowing people to feel as if they are in the sky, looking down into an abyss.
Just the thought of such a scene is thrilling.
Additionally, Ye Hao's conception of the world's longest beach includes creating an underwater world along the coast near Karachi, where people can closely experience the feeling of entering the seabed and see the underwater world with their own eyes.
Karachi is also a great city for commerce, connected to India in the east and bordering Afghanistan to the northwest. With such a geographical advantage, if one cannot make a fortune, they must be out of their mind. That's why Ye Hao took the initiative to talk to Mude.
Ye Hao's initial plan did not involve seeking cooperation. It was only after arriving in Pakistan that he envisioned this grand scheme. Initially, he wanted to bring Ran Tai and others to eliminate Karachi's warlord forces, hoping to catch the eye of the Pakistani military. Then, with Ran Tai and others providing advanced weaponry, Pakistan would become dependent on Ran Tai.
Over time, Ran Tai would gain the favor of the Pakistani government. With the government's support, the other generals couldn't say much, as they were all under the leadership of the government.
Now, however, Ye Hao considered collaboration with Mude, because Mude had strong military power. If combined with the firearms provided by Ye Hao, Mude would become the most formidable general among Pakistan's military leaders.
"Haha, sir, you must be joking. Karachi is just a small fishing village. How can it become a hub of tourism and commerce?" Mude laughed.
He was an old fox; without seeing substantial benefits, he would never casually collaborate with anyone. After all, if people like Ye Hao, with unclear identities, gained control of Karachi, they might become a thorn in their side in the future.
"That was before I arrived. Now that I'm here, Karachi will become even more exciting because of you and me," Ye Hao replied with a smile.
"How so?" Mude asked with a smile.
"General, if I invest two billion RMB near the Hebu River in Karachi to build the world's longest beach, do you think it will attract many tourists to Karachi? Once there are visitors, shouldn't we apply to expand the airport? With an airport, would travelers from other countries still complain about the long journey? Once we have many visitors, we can develop the Primordial Mountains near Karachi, creating an underwater world..." Ye Hao elaborated on his initial plan and first-phase work.
"Hahaha, sir, are you joking with me? Twenty billion Rupees..." Mude intended to say that twenty billion Rupees might build a beach, but expanding an airport and developing it into a tourist attraction would be impossible even with a hundred billion Rupees.
Ye Hao waved his hand and laughed: "It's two billion RMB, equivalent to about two hundred and eighty billion Rupees, General. Isn't that enough for the first phase? Development will surely bring income, right?"
"What?" Mude looked at Ye Hao in astonishment, wondering whether he had misheard. Two billion RMB?
"General, you didn't hear wrong, it is indeed two billion RMB from Huaxia, and this is just the first phase of investment," Ye Hao said with a smile.
"You... are you sure?" Mude was incredibly shocked. In the past, many people from Huaxia had come here to do business, open factories, and so on,
but they used the money to exploit Pakistani citizens, never had anyone like Ye Hao come to Pakistan with plans to invest hundreds of billions of Rupees, let alone with just the initial phase of working capital.
"I'm sure; this is precisely why I came to find General Mude," Ye Hao replied with a smile.
"So... sir, do you have any other development ideas?" Mude wanted to hear how Ye Hao planned to transform Karachi.
"Many, but as long as we can't carry out the first phase as planned, how can we dare to think of the second phase?" Ye Hao said with a smile.
"This, we can definitely consider. Consider it!" Mude's eyes twinkled with excitement, secretly thinking, if Ye Hao truly comes to invest so much money and build a tourism empire, a commercial empire, he would be more than willing to collaborate with Ye Hao.
After all, he is a local citizen of Pakistan and also a General in Pakistan's army. He also dreams of one day being admired like the generals in Huaxia.
"Then let me share a few more ideas with the General! I also plan to build a highway from the west of India passing through Karachi to the east of Afghanistan, allowing both countries to stimulate Karachi's rapid development. Furthermore, Karachi has some natural advantages that other places don't, with mountain peaks connected in Karachi's range. We can completely create a Sky Garden in the air. Of course, although this is a project for the future, I believe that as long as we have the vision, we'll definitely realize it, provided General gives me this opportunity," Ye Hao said with a smile.
"Then regarding cooperation..." At this moment, Mude looked at Ye Hao as if he were seeing a deity.
"Cooperation will certainly not just be between you and me. Has General Mude ever heard of Lin Tian, ranked in the top ten of the Forbes list?" Ye Hao asked with a smile.
"Of course, I've heard of him. Lin Tian, your Huaxia's financial tycoon, I've long admired him! But unfortunately, this tycoon has no interest in developing in Pakistan, otherwise, with his help, Pakistan's development would surely soar," Mude said enthusiastically.
"He is my father-in-law," Ye Hao revealed using Lin Tian's name.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Mude reacted as if struck by lightning, staring at Ye Hao dazedly.
Even Mude's deputy beside him looked at Ye Hao with an incredible expression.
After a long while, Mude, still with a hint of disbelief, asked: "Sir, are you really Lin Tian's son-in-law?"
Mude's manner of address changed to more formal, which shows how significant Lin Tian's reputation is, known even in Pakistan's relatively backward areas.
"Indeed," Ye Hao nodded with a smile.
Upon hearing Ye Hao's confirmation, Mude and his deputy both looked at Ye Hao with eyes full of excitement.
"I, Mude, did not recognize Mount Tai nor a true god!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
