A sci-fi novel based on the backbone of science makes for a more interesting read, imho. Good luck!

Title: "Teeming: How Superorganisms Work Together to Build Infinite Wealth on a Finite Planet"

Book description:

"Evolutionary biologist and anthropologist Dr. Woolley-Barker weaves poetic vision and deep scientific expertise to illustrate how flat, agile, and adaptive societies like ants, termites, and underground fungal networks self-organize for resilience and value... a journey through nature's most ancient and successful R&D labs, and gives practical prescriptions for redesigning organizations to flourish far into the future."

It's important to note Hongta Group is a well connected SOE in Yunnan. Good luck winning a lawsuit against the State. Not only is 红塔集团 a tobacco behemoth, but a illustrious real estate developer that preferentially gets awarded bids for public infrastructure tenders. Many of the stadiums standing in Kunming, or in lower-tiered cities like Dali, are built by Hongta.

This just in...

according to a forecast by global research company Euromonitor International, China will surpass France to "become the world's most visited country by 2030... the most popular holiday spot in the world with the largest number of both inbound and outbound travellers... overtaking the US and Germany, with 260 million outbound tourist trips by 2030."

Changshui expansion may be a good idea after all.

"we" for the sake of simplicity... after all, we share same bonds as those in distant galaxies. But glad you know your history.

That will leave a lasting 'Impression.' 玉龙雪山印象丽江 pun intended.
