Chapter 1831: Seeds of Change

Su Xinghui said, "The two uncles must be very clear about the status of Chinese in Southeast Asian countries, especially the status of Chinese in Indonesia. What do the two uncles think?"

Mi Mingquan and Xie Maosong were of course very clear about this. They had long-term cooperative relationships with wealthy Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia.

The status of Chinese in Southeast Asia can be said to be very important in terms of economy. Some countries even have Chinese controlling their economic lifelines, but their political status is quite average. In several Southeast Asian countries, except for Singapore, where the number of Chinese accounts for the vast majority, the Chinese in the other countries cannot make much of a voice in politics.

Among them, the lowest status of Chinese is Indonesia. Up to now, the Indonesian government still has many discriminatory laws against Chinese, especially ordinary Chinese. To what extent is their status low? If an Indonesian native kills an ordinary Chinese, they only need to pay a very low price and don't have to pay with their lives at all.

In the history of Indonesia, there have been many anti-Chinese incidents, and Chinese have been massacred many times. It can be said that the history of Chinese in Indonesia is a history of blood and tears.

In fact, at that time, not many people in the country knew about these things. Su Xinghui also learned some inside information later through the Internet. Regardless of the causes and consequences of these things, the fact that Chinese were excluded and massacred in Indonesia is an objective existence, and the fact that the political status of Chinese in Southeast Asian countries is generally not high is also an objective existence.

Su Xinghui hoped to change history through his own efforts.

Since he knew that these things were going to happen, even if he knew that his efforts might be useless, he had to try. Moreover, this effort might not be useless, because the Mi family and the Xie family were also top families in Hong Kong, and their power was also very large, and there was also him who had foresight.

The expressions of Mi Mingquan and Xie Maosong were a bit strange. In fact, there are some people in Hong Kong now who fled to Hong Kong from previous anti-Chinese incidents, and there are even friends of the Mi family and the Xie family. The Mi family and the Xie family also provided help to these people at that time, so they were too clear about the inside story.

Everything the Chinese encountered at that time was simply too miserable. Now they feel very uncomfortable thinking about it. After all, they are all Chinese, and blood is thicker than water.

They had to answer Su Xinghui's question. After they looked at each other, Mi Mingquan said, "The political status of Chinese in those Southeast Asian countries is indeed not high, but their economic status is still very high."

Su Xinghui said, "Indonesia has had many anti-Chinese incidents, right?"

Mi Mingquan did not expect Su Xinghui to know about this, so he could only nod and say, "Yes, it has indeed happened."

Su Xinghui said, "It should not be as simple as just happening. I still remember some, I don't know if I am right or not. I won't talk about the ones that are too long ago, just talk about the last few decades. In the 1960s, Indonesia broke out in large-scale anti-Chinese riots, causing hundreds of thousands of Chinese deaths and injuries. A few years later, anti-Chinese riots broke out again in Surabaya, Indonesia..."

Su Xinghui talked eloquently, counting the more than ten anti-Chinese riots that broke out in Indonesia in the past thirty years, which made Mi Mingquan and Xie Maosong more and more shocked. How could Su Xinghui know about the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia so clearly?

Of course, one or two of the things Su Xinghui said were slightly different in time from the real history, but this might be a memory problem, and they were generally consistent with the real history.

Mi Mingquan couldn't help but ask, "Xinghui, how do you know these things?"

Many of these things happened before Su Xinghui was born, and due to various reasons, mainland China did not publicize these things extensively, so many people did not know about these things, let alone Su Xinghui who knew so many details.

Mi Mingquan also asked subconsciously. He was really surprised.

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "This is not easy to say, I have my channels."

Mi Mingquan and Xie Maosong looked at each other again. In fact, high-level personnel must know about these events. They felt that this might be the channel through which Su Xinghui learned about these events.

Xie Maosong asked, "Then what is the connection between this and this financial crisis?"

Su Xinghui said, "If a financial crisis occurs this time, the storm will definitely start from the Southeast Asian region first, because of the policy problems of the governments in that area, the financial and currency markets there are very imperfect, and now the economy is declining, it is very easy to be attacked. I don't know if the two uncles can agree with my judgment?"

Mi Mingquan and Xie Maosong nodded together. Of course, they would agree with this judgment. In fact, the currency market in Southeast Asia is already suffering from some small-scale but frequent attacks, which is the probing of international hot money and the precursor to large-scale attacks.

Su Xinghui said, "Since we can predict this financial crisis in advance, we can make some arrangements in advance to let Chinese consortia get some benefits from it, and even get the greatest benefits, and try to strengthen their own strength. And this financial crisis will definitely cause the caught-off-guard Southeast Asian national governments to suffer heavy blows, so the strength comparison between the two sides will undergo huge changes."

Su Xinghui picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea leisurely and said, "Then, I think, by that time, Chinese consortia should be able to play an important role in the Southeast Asia rebuilt after the financial crisis and make some of their own voices heard."

Mi Mingquan and Xie Maosong were very shocked. They heard a lot of information and unspoken meanings from Su Xinghui's words. If you delve into the meaning, these words will cause an uproar if they are spread out.

But from the perspective of Chinese, Su Xinghui's words are beyond reproach. Chinese have made huge contributions in Southeast Asia for so many years. It can be said that they have made great contributions to the development and independence and liberation movements of Southeast Asian countries, but they have not obtained a political status commensurate with their contributions.

This point also makes Mi Mingquan and Xie Maosong very unfair. They have of course discussed this issue with wealthy friends among Southeast Asian Chinese in private, but no matter what changes, it is difficult to make, let alone such a huge change?

After the shock, they thought about Su Xinghui's words carefully and immediately felt that Su Xinghui's words contained truth. It is precisely because changes are difficult to make that when such irresistible external forces strike, those who are prepared in advance are always easy to obtain the greatest benefits.

The so-called times create heroes, and troubled times produce heroes!
