Chapter 578

January 15th, 8 days left until the Spring Festival.

Today's sunshine is bright and brilliant, just like the sunshine Ji Mi Zai saw in the mainland.

Nine o'clock in the morning,

Downstairs of Five Star Group,

A Rolls-Royce and a Mercedes-Benz stopped at the entrance downstairs.

Two tycoon young masters + secretaries got out of the car.

"Mr. Lin~~"

"Mr. Huang~~"

"Welcome!"

Tan Meili was downstairs, bringing secretaries to welcome the two.

Mr. Lin, 44 years old, is the second son of Boss Lin of Indonesia, Young Master Lin, currently responsible for the business of China Strategic Group (Lin's in Hong Kong).

He studied in Indonesia and Singapore in primary and secondary school, studied in the UK in university, and later joined the Sinar Mas Group to assist his father.

Mr. Huang, 45 years old, is the third son of Boss Huang of Indonesia, Young Master Huang, currently responsible for the business of First Pacific Co., Ltd. (Huang's in Hong Kong).

"President Tan!"

"President Tan!"

Mr. Lin, Mr. Huang, and Tan Meili shook hands.

They didn't dare to underestimate Tan Meili; she is young, but her power is very great.

Tan Meili: "Our boss is upstairs, waiting for the arrival of the two."

With Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's status, it is naturally impossible to welcome the two in person, but rather the two go to visit Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

Tan Meili welcoming them is a sufficient specification.

Soon,

Everyone arrived at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's office.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Huang, welcome~~~~"

"Mr. Guan, long admired, long admired~~~"

Presented the visiting gifts,

A group of people came to the sofa area,

Pouring tea...

Mr. Lin and Mr. Huang subconsciously observed Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu; compared to the two of them, he appeared too young.

It's a bit hard to believe that he created such a huge commercial empire in just a few years.

Now he has directly cut HSBC down from its horse.

Sincerely admired.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was also looking at the two, especially Mr. Huang: "I heard that Mr. Huang studied in mainland China?"

Mr. Huang smiled: "Yes, I was sent by my old man to Beijing to study when I was 12."

"At that time I was too naughty, my dad was very angry and said 'I can't control you, let 'others' control you', so he sent 12-year-old me to Beijing No. 26 Middle School to study."

At that time, the country in the 60s was in its most difficult period, and he was even a special person, went to the countryside to join the production team to learn many times, and then went to the countryside in Shanxi rural areas to farm as an educated youth...

Until returning to Indonesia in 1970 to join the family business.

Of course, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu knows that this Mr. Huang is a good hand at investment operations. Many people think he is a white wolf with empty gloves, and some people think he has given a lot of investment to the mainland. Whether in the mainland or Hong Kong, the praise and criticism are mixed.

The chat atmosphere between the two sides was quite harmonious.

Halfway through, they chatted about Young Master Lin's experience.

"By the way, I have always been very curious about Indonesia... I want to understand some situations."

Young Master Lin and Young Master Huang hurriedly said: "Mr. Guan, please ask, we will know everything and say everything!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu nodded: "First of all, what is the population ratio of Chinese in Indonesia roughly like?"

Young Master Lin: "The local people in Indonesia are mainly Javanese, Sundanese, and many other ethnic groups, accounting for more than 95%. Other ethnic groups including Indians, Arabs, Dutch, etc., account for a small proportion of the Indonesian population, about 2%-3%. Chinese account for about 1.5%..."

In the 1930 Dutch East Indies census, there were about 1.23 million Chinese at that time, accounting for 2.03% of the total population.

Subsequently, the Indonesian great purge from 1965 to 1966 implicated many Chinese.

Then came the Suharto era (1968-1998 dictatorship), which implemented a relatively harsh cultural assimilation policy, and the Chinese population plummeted on a large scale.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu asked curiously: "I heard that Chinese are quite rich, didn't they participate in politics?"

Young Master Huang shook his head and said: "No, although we have money, we cannot participate in politics."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu curious: "How do you say that?"

Young Master Huang explained.

It turned out that after Suharto came to power, he began to promote "assimilation policy," depriving Chinese of political rights through legal and administrative means, and explicitly prohibiting Chinese from serving as civil servants, military officers, councilors, and other public positions.

It was explicitly stipulated: Chinese are not allowed to hold public office, and new immigrants will not obtain citizenship.

Although Chinese occupy an important position in the Indonesian economy (such as finance, real estate), the Suharto government restricted Chinese capital to non-political fields through policies such as the "Domestic Capital Investment Law."

This restriction is based on the holistic exclusion of racial identity, so Chinese cannot get involved in politics at all and have lost the right to participate in politics.

Not only politics, but even in marriage, education, employment, social welfare, and other fields, there are exclusionary clauses.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu felt angry listening to it.

It's too fucking disgusting.

The targeting is too strong.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "You are so miserable, can you bear this?"

Young Master Huang helpless: "What can we do if we can't bear it? We have no army, no strength..."

It is worth mentioning that the current president belongs to a dictatorship, military and political integration, and the military can manage politics.

"What's even more troublesome is that the president's approval rating is currently very high..."

Why is this president's approval rating so high?

Because after he came to power, he actively obtained a large amount of "aid to Indonesia international consortium" aid from the American father, reaching 20.9 billion US dollars from 1976 to 1983 alone.

Moreover, under his rule, Indonesia's international status has risen significantly, actively participating in international affairs, and exerting important influence in the Southeast Asian region... well, it's just messing around everywhere with this American father.

Precisely because the economy is rising steadily, all citizens still support him relatively.

As for the injured people... only Chinese.

Miserable!

Actually, it's not that the country hasn't pressured Indonesia regarding this exclusion situation.

But because Indonesia has an American father, it not only didn't change, but intensified.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "You don't have newspapers or TV stations over there?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu thought to himself, media is the position of propaganda, with it there, it should be a little better.

Young Master Lin shook his head: "No, according to the 'Assimilation Act', it prohibits Chinese education, Chinese media, and community activities, prohibits the use of Chinese characters, Chinese communities are prohibited from celebrating traditional Chinese festivals, Chinese are forced to change to Indonesian surnames, all Chinese newspapers are banned, only one bilingual newspaper "Indonesia Daily" (1966-1999) is allowed to be issued, and the content is strictly censored by the government."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu had a strange expression: "You mean, you Chinese don't even have newspapers or TV stations? No voice channels at all?"

"No."

"I............"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was directly silenced.

Even unable to make a sound, what is this if not a proper fat pig?

People slaughter you, and you have no way to resist, and you don't even have a way to complain.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu felt a headache.

The difficulty of this Indonesia is simply hell-level.

Higher than the difficulty of attacking the United States.

What was Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's original plan?

First enter Indonesia through the Huang and Lin families, follow the Five Star and Umbrella model, first unite the Chinese... then set up a TV station...

In 98, secretly transport some firearms and bury them.

Once something happens, directly unite people, take guns to resist, and then report with the TV station, announcing to the whole world...

As a result, you tell me, let alone a TV station, you don't even have a newspaper?

What the hell!

Suffocating!

American Chinese have never been this miserable!

The more he understood, the more Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu felt suffocated.

However, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu also became suspicious at this time.

Chinese are so miserable, why are there still these two tycoon families? Occupying various "King" titles?

So...

There is still one point Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu didn't figure out.

After chatting for more than an hour, they finally started to enter the main topic.

Young Master Lin: "Mr. Guan, my father called yesterday and urged me, hoping to reach cooperation with Five Star Group."

Young Master Huang: "My father said the same thing."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled: "I have also always admired the two old gentlemen very much, and I am also very willing to reach cooperation with the Lin family and the Huang family."

After chatting for a few sentences, they finally talked about the two pieces of news about Cityplaza and Pacific Place.

Young Master Lin: "I suppose Mr. Guan should have already heard the news that Swire Group wants to sell two high-end malls, Cityplaza and Pacific Place."

"My father and Uncle Huang discussed and wanted to take over these two malls."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled and didn't speak.

Waiting, seeing what they would say.

Young Master Huang: "Mr. Guan, my father said, he wants to take over these two malls together with Five Star Group. As for the shares, our two families are willing to make concessions."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu nodded: "I do want these two malls very much... Of course, I also agree that your two families can participate and cooperate in the acquisition."

Young Master Lin and Young Master Huang were overjoyed upon hearing this.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu agreed.

Then it's easy to talk about the next steps.

Noon,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu invited the two young masters to eat Chaoshan fish ball noodles downstairs.

Two young masters: "emmm~~~"

Damn it, we came to talk about important cooperation, why didn't Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu even arrange an important banquet?

The two young masters and 2 secretaries were forced to eat fish ball noodles, feeling emmm~~~~ inside.

This is the lowest-end business meal they have ever eaten.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled: "Is it delicious? I often eat here."

Young Master Huang: "Delicious, delicious, too delicious!"

Young Master Lin: "I tasted the taste of my hometown."

Don't ask, asking means it's delicious to the point of crying!

After lunch,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu saw off Young Master Huang and Young Master Lin at the entrance of the fish ball noodle shop.

Watching the two cars leave,

The smile on Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's face faded.

Picked up the phone and called Da Tou.

"Find someone, go to Indonesia, help me investigate some things..."

For Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, as long as they can help him intervene in Indonesia, they are good comrades and can cooperate together.

But the background and behavior of the partners determine Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's attitude towards them.

Are they friends?

Or ordinary business cooperation?

However, one keynote is certain: unite everyone who can be united.

Perhaps look at problems dialectically: don't look at their relationship with the Indonesian government through colored glasses just because they have money.

And at this time,

British Swire Group headquarters, a senior meeting officially ended.

One of the topics of the meeting was whether to sell the Cityplaza and Pacific Place projects under Swire Group in Hong Kong.

Whether it was the chairman Adrian or the shareholders of Swire Group, most of them felt they should sell, which was very unified.

However, Adrian Swire knew the situation in Hong Kong, Five Star Group has a lot of funds.

Therefore, he specifically emphasized that Five Star Group is not allowed to pick up this bargain.

Although businessmen talk about interests, whenever he thinks of Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu killing Edward, he feels heartbroken.

Soon,

The results of the meeting were passed through email and sent to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong, Swire Building.

Taipan office,

The sun slanted west, projecting into the office.

Byron was reviewing documents, frowning from time to time, and frowning even more from time to time.

"Boss!"

"Headquarters replied to the email and gave a reply to our proposal."

"What did headquarters say?"

"Agree to sell!"

"Good!"

Byron patted the table: "Good!"

The originally dull mood finally started to get better at this moment.

Secretary: "However."

Byron: "??"

Still a twist?

Speaking halfway, damn it, believe it or not I'll chop you!

Secretary: "The email also said that it cannot be sold to Five Star Group."

Byron: ".............."

Directly silenced.

No, in the current situation in Hong Kong, besides Five Star Group, who else has the strength to acquire Pacific Place and Swire malls?

However, it's not that there is no solution.

Byron said weakly: "Immediately call those tycoon bosses in Hong Kong, and notify consortium capital in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, and the United States to see if they are interested."

Secretary: "Yes!"

Byron: "First see their willingness, as long as there is a little interest, we will send a team over to persuade them."

The following 2 days,

With Swire Group's actions,

Consortiums in Southeast Asian and South Asian countries like Singapore received news from Swire Group one after another.

Then consortiums in South Korea, Japan, the United States... also received the news.

However, most of them are not interested.

First of all,

Because of the 9* year return issue, a large number of tycoons flowed out of Hong Kong, and the world's perception of it is... this place, to invest, has great political risks.

Secondly, Pacific Place and Cityplaza, both have foot traffic losses. You are already losing money, after we take over, how can we turn losses into profits? This is a big problem.

So considering comprehensively, the acquisition willingness is not strong.

Persuading them is destined to be a difficult process.

The third day,

Swire Taipan Byron received a joint visit from Young Master Lin and Young Master Huang.

Inside the office,

Coffee fragrance drifted~~~

Byron looked at the two: "You want to acquire Cityplaza and Pacific Place together?"

Young Master Lin solemnly: "That's right, our sincerity is very strong!"

Young Master Huang: "We have always wanted to increase investment in Hong Kong! This is also my father's meaning!"

Young Master Lin: "It is also my father's meaning!"

Byron weighed it in his heart,

These Lin and Huang are tycoons in Indonesia and have never had anything to do with Five Star Group.

Therefore, it shouldn't be Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu borrowing a shell to acquire.

Wait...

Even if it is Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu borrowing a shell to acquire, so what?

These two malls lose 100 million every month they drag on.

With these 2 vermin here, how can I manage Swire well!

Therefore,

Even if it is Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu borrowing a shell to acquire, so what, I'll just pretend I don't know.

Hehehehe~~~~~

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up!

Thinking of this,

Byron became enthusiastic.
