Portrait Minister Wei
Brigadier general Mach Van tuong, who was then both province and district chief in Long khanh, told a
Story that one day Thuan suddenly asked Truong to come and see him. He condescended to ask him
about house – hold a affairs.
‘ How’s your mother doing ? Does your wife earn a lot from businesses ? How about her capital ? How much, approximately ?’
‘ I’ve been just transferred from the main force to this province chief’s position, Sir…Yes….I’m real poor, sir. All the other province chiefs and their wives are awfully richer than me, sir……’
‘ Yes …. You’re right. I know. I’ll tell you what: Someone would like to buy your position at the price of 16 million piasters.” Thuan heaved a deep sigh, “ Money now means nothing ! You can say 16 million piasters is great, isn’t it ! But it’s cheap, very cheap. In Hau Giang, I heard someone say we had to pay 65 million piasters for Rach Gia province chief’s position. That’s it.’
