As early as 2018, Cambodia had a unique data.
That year, more than 3,700 foreigners were arrested across Cambodia, including more than 760 Chinese. Moreover, these people are mainly concentrated in places such as Phnom Penh, Sihanouk and Siem Reap , but they rarely commit murder and arson. They are mainly criminals who rely on their "brains" for their livelihood, such as telecommunications fraud and money laundering.
Telecom fraud
In that year, more than ,700 foreigners from 58 countries were victimized in Cambodia. Among them, the most victims were Chinese, with more than 200 victims. The main reason for the victims was still being robbed.
Just some time ago, Cambodia, a small and inconspicuous country, once again entered everyone's field of vision.
A couple was killed in an apartment in Phnom Penh, and the death was quite tragic. The murderer's method of committing the crime was quite cruel. The man was strangled with a rope and then moved to the toilet; the woman's mouth and nose and mouth were sealed with cloth, and she eventually suffocated. die. And according to police speculation, the murderer is likely to be Chinese. After an in-depth investigation,
discovered that the victim had also committed crimes in China and fled to Cambodia out of desperation. He had always acted in a high-profile manner and was prosperous here.
Crime Scene
Heaven and Hell in Cambodia
For the majority of friends traveling in Southeast Asia, you can indeed see a beautiful and moving tropical Southeast Asia in just a few days. However, there is another name here that many friends have heard of. A paradise for white people to circulate, the sewer of the Chinese economy.
For white people, Southeast Asia is a holy land that can add points to their failed lives. These developing countries all think that European countries are rich, and the men here are also very humorous, and their silky English always adds to the deep impression on people.
Cambodia
But the girls here may not have thought that these white people who can't even provide food and clothing in Europe actually only have white skins left. It doesn't matter, after coming to Southeast Asia, you can still hug them left and right. They can often be seen in the large and small bar streets here. The most famous ones are Phuket , Phnom Penh Street and Philippines City of Angels.
As long as they are not homeless, the bottom class in Europe will always live better than the bottom class in Southeast Asia. One likes to brag and the other likes to suffer miserably. This is a match made in heaven. is like this. White people can realize their psychological satisfaction here, and extremely low prices can also bring them "squander" capital.
However, many Chinese people come here not to find girls for fun. Their core goal is to make money. In this "lawless land" for the Chinese, things like gambling and fraud happen every day, as if those "ambitious" and "desperate" Chinese people have found a pure land here.
It seems like here, this is the best of times and the worst of times. And Cambodia is a country that has been ruined by the Chinese, full of casinos, takeaways and scams.
In this crazy Southeast Asian city, Chinese people can be seen everywhere
Cambodia had a once very beautiful port city called Sihanoukvilleport.
The perfect combination of beach and waves makes this place full of natural beauty. If you want to enjoy the sun shining on the beach and the beautiful women on the shore, of course you need a lot of money. All we can imagine are prestigious tourist destinations such as Hawaii and the Maldives. However, without money in our pockets, these beauties seem to be out of reach.
Sihanoukvilleport
But Sihanoukville Port is different. The extremely low cost of living and comfortable life will naturally attract tourists from all over the world. When people discover this Feng Shui treasure land, what comes to mind The first thing is to settle down.
Today, the place is dotted with physical casinos, online gaming centers, major venues opened by the Chinese, as well as Shaxian snacks all over the streets, and of course, Shaxian snacks and takeaways.
Because Cambodia was very simple in the past and did not catch up with the first batch of people in the country to open up, I naturally felt a lot of unwillingness. When I came here, I could directly copy the past experience and make a lot of money.
However, if you want to successfully copy a business model, the waiting period is too long. Everyone wants to make quick money, and they don’t have the temper to waste time here, so they start to use their brains.
are all crooked people, so it’s no surprise that this has turned out like this. Walking on the streets of Sihanoukville always gives people the illusion that they have never been abroad, because it is very close to the third and fourth tier cities in China. Why are so many Chinese gathered here? In fact, the reason is very simple. The one who is near the water and the tower first gets the moon.
What are the most popular streets in China are Trust-Mart supermarkets, Wangyu Internet cafes, Lanzhou Ramen, Shaxian snacks, etc. Yes, you read that right, everything you can imagine is here.
Have you heard of "Cambodian Single Point" ? Just by listening to the name, you can guess that this is a takeout ordering platform developed by Chinese people in Cambodia. "Cambodian Rent a House" , as the name suggests, is an APP used to rent a house here. There is another thing that is even more surprising, that is "Xigang Prostitution" .
The number of Chinese here is increasing day by day, and the number is even close to that of the locals. It feels like this is more like a Chinese city, and Cambodia has become an immigrant.
The reason is that the Chinese people have experienced the influence of business thinking in China for many years, and their minds are getting smarter. The simple Cambodians seem to have not yet reacted, and most of the Chinese who come here bring money. , it is easy to form a scale.
Since we are abroad, many Chinese people are subject to fewer and fewer restrictions here, especially young people with criminal records or who have served in prison camps. They feel like a lonely warrior and are keen to set foot on this territory.
What is the first step to start developing? Yes, that is building a house. Therefore, the entire Sihanoukville Port seems to have turned into a large dusty construction site. In such a large county town, there are construction sites everywhere. The sense of security given by the house is constantly being performed on this land.
The building has been built, and a lot of money has been spent. The fastest way to get back the money is written into the "Criminal Law" in China. Here, just build the casino and that's it. What you dare not do in China has begun to become a reality here. Casinos of all sizes flash under the neon lights at night, looking very spectacular.
In addition, in order to stimulate consumption, these casinos will quickly lend you money even if they have no money on hand. They all know that nine out of ten bets will lose, and they all think that they are the ones who survive to the end, so it is very likely that they will be the last ones alive. If you pass at night, it will take you a lifetime to repay the debt.
No matter how big the physical casino is, it still has an area that can be measured. In the Internet information age, all industries like to move online. In this case, what is even more powerful is online gambling . This model has lower costs, more customers, and a larger market, which makes traditional casinos burst into tears after seeing it.
In Cambodian office buildings, this model has actually formed a unique scale. It is a bit like cheap Internet cafes and small studios in China. Rows of computers are placed there, and there are customer service staff clicking on the keyboard, as well as people in suits and leather shoes. promotion. They get in touch with customers through chat software and can make a lot of money by just adding some money. Under this temptation, many people lose their pants.
Young people working in this industry are usually divided into several types:
The first type is that they can't find any legitimate career in the country and are gnawing at their father's pension every day. Later, the father couldn't stand it anymore and took this unlucky child away. Kicked out of their homes, they were desperate and came to Cambodia to try their luck;
The most common type was those who had suffered losses in gambling, and their creditors were chasing after them every day. They finally hardened up for a while and directly I just ran away;
The third type is ambitious, but I have nothing to do in the country all day long, and I feel that I still need to take action, so one morning, I gritted my teeth and stomped my feet and came to Cambodia.
The platforms they built have harmed countless people around the world. They themselves finally earned some capital, as if their lives could undergo huge changes. But after all, this is a whirlpool. It is easy to enter, but very difficult to escape intact.
Gambling, in the final analysis, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. There is also a profit-making model, which is telecommunications fraud. Back then, the Chinese police sent hundreds of special police officers to Sihanoukville to arrest people, which shows the huge industrial scale here.
When Cambodia became no longer simple, providing countless foreigners with a soil for crime, the social chaos here finally developed to the huge scale it is today. We have also seen countless people in China give their own personal experience, warning everyone not to think about making a fortune there. All you can see is the superficial glamour. Those who really make a lot of money from there have experienced "a hail of bullets."
Because most of the people who come here are not good people. Ordinary wage earners work everywhere. This does not affect your income. No matter how bad it is at home, there is still social security. Going abroad is really the only thing left. A bare life.
We often see news about killing creditors and mergers based on interests. Here, everyone dies for money and for food, but life is equal to everyone, which also means that the disadvantaged groups are not weak, and the strong groups are not that strong.
You take the red tassel gun, and I have the machete. Whoever forces the other party to panic will have an extra body on the ground.
Then we can summarize the reasons why Cambodia is full of Chinese people. In fact, if you find any local real estate agency, they will tell you like reciting Li Bai's poems, which is nothing more than the following points.
First, this is not a CRS country, and it seems that it is not that difficult to buy a house; second, it is very pro-China and friendly, and everyone knows the reason. Many of the lower-level workers are from the same country, and they are not all close to China. It is caused by the large number of people. If the interests are really touched, these will not exist;
Second, third, the permanent property rights of the house. If you buy this house, it will always be yours in the future. You can't run away. Here, your son can come here if he can't survive, and the government will not confiscate your house;
Third, fourth, that is , the US dollar economy is dominated, currency circulation is more convenient, and there are no foreign exchange controls; fifth, return It's close to home, so I can really wash all my money, and it's convenient to run home.
But are there really these people here who say so well?
Behind the chaos in Southeast Asian countries, there is also hatred
The chaos in Cambodia and these Southeast Asian countries is not invisible to their governments. The deepest reason is not poverty.
For example, in the slums in the Philippines, many poor people will wait there for garbage trucks, and quickly carry the usable things back home; In the river areas in the north of Manila, children will jump into the dirty water. Who would want to live such a destitute life in the extremely dirty river just to pick up a few more plastic bottles?
Therefore, due to the economic failure of Southeast Asia, many people have to rely on the tourism industry in order to survive . In order to cater to the special habits of many white people, they have also formed organizations, just to win the smiles of these travelers, but this kind of undignified They know the method in their hearts, but in order to survive, they can't find any other good method.
The Chinese are different. After coming to these countries, they not only know how to spend money, but also how to make money. Thinking about the launch of the anti-gang and anti-evil campaign, countless gangsters heard the news and hurriedly ran out of China. Gambling and fraud gradually increased in Southeast Asia.
Gray industries
These gray industries are extremely profitable. Our country has already formed a stable and healthy economic development model. These things are cancerous in the country. However, in many countries in Southeast Asia, can bring very high income to local governments and create some stable jobs.
So even though they know the long-term harm it brings, these countries are still reluctant to "amputee" it.
Every young man who goes to Southeast Asian countries seems to have "ambitions" and plans to follow his boss to come here to do a great job. As a result, a large number of people don't even have freedom. As long as
comes in, it is very likely that he will be involuntarily. He will lose his passport and ID card, and he will be locked up in a wall several stories high. The promised monthly salary of tens of thousands of yuan will be gone, and he will not be able to work. According to the contract, working overtime all day long is still commonplace.
In this kind of disorderly society, many people earn a lot of money by exploiting others. The wool comes from the sheep, so naturally some people do hard work and often don't have enough to eat.
These industries are related to a series of behaviors such as vendetta and abuse. Here, no one can get a real sense of security. Most people are licking blood for the money. The so-called "lawless place" is actually not safe.
"Land outside the law"
In the past few years, the Chinese and Cambodian police have conducted joint operations on many occasions and destroyed many fraud dens and online gambling dens. Other evil incidents associated with these underground industrial chains have also followed. reduce. However, due to the influence of interests, every time one group is eliminated, another group will spring up like mushrooms after a rain. There is still no way to solve the fundamental problem in Cambodia.
Just like Philippine President Duterte once explained that he also knows that the money is not clean, but at this stage, there is no good way.
Back in Sihanoukville, as more and more Chinese people pour in, the rejection of local people is actually getting worse.
According to the original logic, when a large number of foreigners come to the local area, they can stimulate consumption and inject more vitality into the local economy. However, when these foreigners arrive in batches and bring related industries with them, the life of locals will only become more and more difficult. You use us as a refuge and still make money from us.
Therefore, on the streets of Cambodia at that time, there were some organizations that were relatively anti-Chinese and often attacked the Chinese. However, many Chinese among them know that the money they earn in Cambodia is dirty, and they dare not contact the embassy no matter how helpless they are.
The fundamental reason is that the massive investment in Cambodia has not benefited the local people.
In the eyes of the Chinese who come here, this land contains huge wealth, and investors can get huge returns. Except for those who have been cheated, ordinary workers here have a great chance to get higher income, because the profits of the gray industry are really scary.
The corrupt Cambodian government can still extract profits from these industries. The ecological environment and healthy market have been wreaked havoc by these foreigners. In the end, it is the ordinary local people who bear the consequences.
Everything in Sihanoukville is actually just a microcosm of Cambodia. China and Cambodia are also constantly promoting the control of these chaos. The future of this country that has been "ruined" by the Chinese is still a mystery.
Sihanoukville Port, referred to as Sihanoukville, is located in Sihanoukville Port on the southwest coast of Cambodia and is named after Prince Sihanouk. It is the largest seaport in Cambodia and the second largest city in Cambodia outside the capital Phnom Penh. It is currently the only special economic zone in Cambodia, and its status is similar to China's "Shenzhen". Westport was built after 1950. In order to encourage investment, it was established as a duty-free port in 1998. During the war, Sihanoukville Port was renamed Kampong Som Port, and the name Sihanoukville Port was restored in the 1990s.
