Gu Kun jumped up and down on the Hujiang River until the end of the year, and finally made up the project plan to be planned and the budget loan to be pulled.

In order to catch up with the time difference before the Hong Kong dollar storm, Gu Kun didn't care about spending the New Year in Hujiang, but flew back to Lanzhou overnight a year ago, and then contacted many dignitaries in Malaysia and asked them to come to Lanzhou for talks.

(Sorry, the update was a little late yesterday, mainly because some of the plot was deleted and rechanged.) The original plot has a lot more scenes in Huaxia to exploit loopholes, fox and fake tiger. But after thinking about it, for the sake of safety, it is still not suitable to write too much in China. Considering that there will be more nonsense about the twist, those two chapters also sent everyone an extra 500 words per chapter, which is not water.

Some things, moved to the side of the Malays and then deceived, the side performance is the same. Although I have always written about serious business strategies, first, I will not harm the interests of the country, and second, I will not stuff black money. However, the current environment has a low tolerance for treacherous and sinister things, even if you are "motivated by justice and can do whatever it takes". ）

Gu Kun's series of infrastructure madness plans can only be implemented after all, which requires the sincere cooperation of both Lan Fang and Malaysia, otherwise Gu Kun's wishful thinking alone will not even solve the land problem.

……

Saturday, January 17, 1998, ten days before the Chinese New Year.

Kuching City Centre, Sarawak State Infrastructure Authority.

Vice Governor and Director of the Infrastructure Bureau, Lee Myung-ze, waited anxiously.

Three days ago, he received an invitation from Gu Kun, inviting him and Li Jingshen, the richest man in Malaysia, to go to Lanfang to discuss the plan together. Gu Kun also gave a general explanation of what he wanted to talk about in the invitation letter, mainly to expand infrastructure investment and enhance international cooperation during the financial crisis and the contraction of domestic demand.

Sarawak has a population of 3.5 million and Kuching has 800,000 people.

Despite the rapid rise of Lanfang in recent years, the population is only one-eighth of Kuching and one-tenth of Sarawak. No matter how rich Gu Kun is, it is impossible to compare it with the overall size of an economy of several million people.

After all, "rich rival country" is just an exaggerated metaphor, and there are very few "rich rival states" in real life.

According to the suggestion on the invitation letter, Gu Kun sent a luxury yacht to pick up Li Mingze, and as for the richest man in Malaysia, Li Jingshen Li, Gu Kun will send another special plane to pick him up from Penang and fly directly to Lanfang International Airport.

But Li Ming politely refused, and secretly asked Boss Li to fly to Kuching first, and the two sides met first, and the Malaysians themselves first unified their voices to the outside world, and then went to negotiate with Gu Kun.

"Governor, Boss Li has arrived. ”

Li Ming was sitting at the desk and was distracted, and the secretary quietly came in to inform him, he quickly jumped up from the swivel chair, and then walked to the door to greet him.

"It's a great honor for Boss Li to come to visit, and in addition to negotiating with Gu Kun this time, I also asked Boss Li to support local construction. Li Ming was polite with a smile on his face.

"Certainly, although I have lived in Penang for a long time, Sarawak has always been the focus of our industrial oxygen group over the years. ”

The name of the person who came was Li Jingshen, a sixty-year-old man, with a seventy-three point hairstyle, slightly sparse hair, and obviously oiled.

He is now the richest man in Malaysia and the big boss of Gongyang Group.

Strictly speaking, Boss Li is of Chinese descent rather than overseas Chinese - his ancestral home is Hu Jianquanzhou Wing Chun, but his parents fled from Hu Jian to Nanyang when the Japanese invaded China in 37, and Boss Li was born two years after arriving in Nanyang.

In the same way, the Governor Li just now is also from Hu Jian's ancestral hometown.

In Hu Jian's local family, the locals will say "Hu Jian Chen Lin is half the world", that is, there are many people surnamed Chen and Lin, which can account for half of Hu Jianren.

However, among the Hu Jian people who immigrated to Malaysia, this point is not obvious, but the surname Li is particularly strong - not to mention, Li Jiapo, who split from Malaysia back then, is a typical Li family world. In Malay and Leejiapo, the Chinese surnamed Li are basically large clans who walk sideways.

Although the name of Li Jingshen's company is "Gongyang", the English abbreviation IOI Group, it has actually been involved in the sales of oxygen concentrators and industrial oxygen when it started in the early 80s.

At the end of the 80s, the scope of industrial oxygen business expanded dramatically, first of all, it expanded in the chemical field in an all-round way, and became a giant in the planting and processing industry of Southeast Asian characteristics such as oil palm and latex.

Lee Ching Shen has expanded large natural rubber plantations and oil palm plantations in Borneo, and has latex and oil refining chemical bases in Penang and Kuching, and is the largest palm oil producer in Southeast Asia and the largest latex producer in Malaysia (the natural rubber industry is not the first in Southeast Asia, because there are bigger companies in Indonesia)

After 92 years, Gongyang Group further developed into the field of real estate and engineering infrastructure, and because of its abundant capital and strong strength, it became the largest real estate developer in Malaysia in just a few years.

So this boss Li now has a fortune of more than 4 billion US dollars, and in recent years, he has often squeezed into the top 500 on the Forbes global wealth list - but he has been hovering in the position of more than 400.

After the Southeast Asian financial crisis this time, the ringgit exchange rate fell by 25%, but it instantly shrank Boss Li's wealth by a few percent, and it should have temporarily fallen out of the Forbes top 500.

But no matter what, Boss Li's current wealth is still at least two to three times that of Gu Kun. Talking about infrastructure business with Malays will definitely not be able to bypass the cooperation with this Boss Li.

Gu Kun has only been the richest man in Lanfang for more than a year, and his foundation is still shallow. There is still a lot to be done to climb from the richest man in Lanfang to the richest man in Southeast Asia.

When is it richer than this Boss Li, it can be regarded as a slight success.

……

After Governor Li and Boss Li negotiated behind closed doors for a long time, they took their yacht and went to Lanfang to talk with Gu Kun.

Of course, Gu Kun couldn't know what details Governor Li and Boss Li colluded with, but he didn't care, he already felt that these things were inevitable in his heart.

Gu Kun's villa on the main island of Lanfang is not of sufficient grade, and the 360-degree invincible sea view villa on the Galloping Horse Atoll is not enough to receive distinguished guests worth billions of dollars, so this time he directly chose to say hello to Zhu Youdong and borrowed Zhaoming Palace to receive guests.

After all, Zhaoming Palace is the palace of Lanfang Palace, no matter how it is decorated, the grade is at least guaranteed.

When the yacht arrived at the port, Gu Kun personally greeted him at the dock, and then sent a convoy to pick him up and take him back to the palace.

"Governor Li and Boss Li have always admired each other. ”

"Gu Sheng is polite, I am glad to meet you. ”

In terms of international popularity, Gu Kun is of course much higher than Boss Li, but after all, the other party is old and a senior in the business world, so it can only be Gu Kun who says that he has been looking up for a long time, and the other party is fortunate to come.

Because it was the first time they met, it was not easy to talk about business directly, so Gu Kun invited the other party to have a meal first and washed the dust. Even Zhu Youdong personally attended to help receive guests.

The banquet is nothing more than a variety of top-quality tropical seafood, as well as truffle caviar imported from the north, the details do not need to be repeated, anyway, for billions of dollars of wealth, it doesn't matter what they eat, they haven't eaten anything.

After the banquet, Gu Kun clarified the reason for the interview: "At present, the financial crisis is in full swing, and I want to invite you two to come this time, so I want to propose several infrastructure projects that will be cooperated between the Lan side and Sarawak to promote domestic demand, stimulate investment, help each other and tide over the difficulties together." ”

Vice Governor Li Ming took a sip of oolong tea and wiped his mouth: "You're welcome, Gu Sheng is blunt." Your prestige in Southeast Asia is extraordinary, and your willingness to cooperate with us is in itself a great moral support. ”

Everyone is Chinese, and there is no obstacle to speaking Chinese, but whether it is Governor Li or Boss Li, their ordinary hair has a bit of Hu Jian accent, or Wanwan accent, which is far inferior to Gu Kun's drifting accuracy.

Gu Kun nodded: "Then I'm welcome, I first want to talk about the cooperation between the Lanfang Sea-crossing Bridge and the water diversion project......"

Gu Kun retold all the plans he had been planning for a long time.

Although they were a little mentally prepared, they knew that Gu Kun was going to build a large number of buildings before they came, but when they heard the specific plan, the Malays were still shocked.

In particular, the budget reported by Gu Kun, after all, is the price after the "false invoice" of the Design Institute of Huaxia Jiaotong University, which sounds very scary, and it is too exaggerated to build a 50-kilometer cross-sea bridge to report an investment of 2.5 billion US dollars/200 billion yuan.

Gu Kun is basically at least three times the price and scary.

It is not the first time that the Malays have been recruited in this regard, and later generations cooperated with Huaxia to build high-speed rail, but it was later stopped, and a little squeezing water is a bargain. It can only be said that the integrity and self-discipline of the Malays are far inferior to those of the Chinese. (Gu Kun didn't stuff black money)

If you are willing to invest so much money, of course we are happy to see it come true, and as for the use of some of our land, it is no problem to allocate it to you free of charge. After all, Sarawak is vast and sparsely populated, and your infrastructure is conducive to local construction, and letting you use the land for free is also the proper meaning of the topic - let's talk about the water price of the water diversion project first. ”

Governor Li is biting the tone of cooperation that "the Malays are willing for you to build, but we don't pay the construction funds, we only give you the land for nothing", obviously because he was frightened by Gu Kun's project offer.

As for selling water, he was very willing, and quickly calculated the historical case in his mind.

Gu Kun smiled: "That's okay, we will make it easier than difficult, we are willing to compare the treaty model of Li Jiapo to buy water from your country, and increase the price slightly......"

Governor Li immediately refused: "That's not good! Those despicable villains in Li Jiapo have taken advantage of us for decades! That was the price in 1961, and 1 cent a ton was too cheap!"

In my opinion, we should keep pace with the times, and refer to the recent international price of similar treaties - Yuedong sells to Xiangjiang for two Hong Kong dollars a ton, let's be cheaper, one ringgit a ton. ”

Gu Kun: "Governor Li joked, our Lanfang is now sparsely populated, and the demand for water is not so great at all, and the existing population has increased by three or five times, and it is possible to remain self-sufficient." We don't ask you to buy it, the water of the Sarawak River also flows into the sea in vain and wastes.

Li Jiapo asked Johor Balu to buy, the reason why it is cheap, the price is only one aspect. West Malaysia has abundant precipitation and does not use much water, which leads to the cheap price of natural water. The reason why it is expensive in eastern Guangdong is because there are 100 million people living in eastern Guangdong Province for a long time, and the economy is developed. Countries are colder places the more expensive water is, and the rainfall in the tropics is abundant, how can it be compared with high prices. ”

Gu Kun bit a ton of up to two cents and will not be allowed to rise again unless the Malays share part of the construction costs.

Governor Li didn't take any reason, the key is that now in the financial crisis, there is no demand for anything, and after a little resistance, Gu Kun exposed the old bottom, and he could only pay this price first, just to create a negotiation atmosphere for follow-up projects, and make a slight concession.
