Chapter 328: Generous Gifts (8)

The two states in East Malaysia, the first state is called Sabah, located in the east of Brunei Darussalam, north of Indonesia, west and north are the waters of the Philippines, and the population is small, only more than one million, with an area of more than 76,000 square kilometers, and there are more Chinese, the second state is called Sarawak, with Brunei Darussalam in the north, Indonesia in the east and south, and the South China Sea in the west, with a population of nearly three million and an area of more than 124,000 square kilometers.

Yao Yi waited in Malaysia for more than a week, and finally waited for the result, which surprised everyone, and even a little incredible.

Sabah has an almost 99 per cent approval rate in favour of Yao Yi becoming their new lord and is willing to 'hand over' the land, but Sarawak has less than 50 per cent favour.

The Governor of Sarawak had a very faceless face, but the Governor of Sabah was excited.

In fact, the reason for this situation is not the governor's place, but there are certain reasons, the first is that Sarawak's geographical location is more convenient, the fishery resources are relatively rich, and the people there are richer than Sabah, the second is that they are not interested in the Chinese because of the problem of islands and reefs in the South China Sea, and they are naturally not interested in Yao Yi, and the third is that the local Chinese are relatively wealthy, often exploit them, and there are more anti-Chinese people, and it is precisely because of this that they heard that Yao Yi is a Chinese, and they have confiscated their land, so it caused strong opposition, and finally it was not passed。

Sabah is different, the geographical location here is not good, and the neighboring countries, Brunei is a little richer, but Indonesia in the south is a large tropical primeval forest, and the Philippines in the east and north is a poor place of frequent armed struggle, plus the geographical location of 'transportation' is not good, so the local people are relatively poor, although the local Chinese also exploit them, but also bring them job opportunities, so, they are still more feeling' When they heard about Yao Yi's conditions, they were naturally excited, hoping that the Chinese would lead them to prosperity.

It is precisely because of the different conditions of the two states that the results are different.

This result is very good for Yao Yi, Yao Yi is still very satisfied, although the geographical location of Sabah is relatively remote, but it is also adjacent to a golden waterway, that is, the Makassar Strait in Indonesia, transporting iron ore and coal from the mining port of Western Australia, the Makassar Strait is a recent convenient passage, second, the coastline of Sabah is tortuous, the sea is relatively deep, it is very suitable for building an excellent port and shipbuilding base, the third is that the population is relatively small, which is more beneficial to Yao Yi at this stage, after all, Yao Yi now needs too many places to use money, and this small population is easy to digest and transform them into productivity, and quickly arrange their daily life, to put it bluntly, Yao Yi can easily afford this population.

However, this result is bad news for James, who plans to build his logistics and trade hub in Sarawak, which is the gateway to transportation.

After getting this result, James said: "Vote again, this result is definitely not the real result!"

James almost got angry at the governor of Sarawak.

Yao Yi said: "This is not necessary for the time being, this is the choice of the people, if the approval rate is above 60%, I will be in favor of continuing to vote, but the approval rate is less than half, which shows that the people of Sarawak do not welcome me at all, so, I can't force it, let's talk about it later, we now have Sabah, more than 70,000 square kilometers of land, enough for you, the location of Sabah is a little biased, but it also has its advantages, we have to look at it comprehensively!"

The governor of Sarawak looked at Yao Yi with blank eyes and said, "Then you don't want us Sarawak anymore!"

Yao Yi said with a smile: "It's not that I don't want it, but the people don't let me want it, so I think that when I build Sabah into a paradise on earth, I will think about Sarawak again, and I won't think about it for the time being!"

The governor of Sabah said with a smile: "You Sarawak state itself feels richer than us, and often looks down on us, when the time comes, let's go and see who is rich, and when we are rich, do you want Sarawak, but also think about it, as far as your birds don't, we really don't look down on us, hum!"

Although the words of the Governor of Sabah were a bit excessive, Yao Yi also had a little meaning in his heart, and James said: "I don't want to pull it down, after we build Sabah, let them regret it, come on, let's talk about the construction of Sabah next!"

Now the governor of Sarawak is very faceless and desperate to find a crack in the ground to get into, but the truth is cruel and he has to face it and reflect on the reasons when he returns.

He walked away in a gloomy manner, and the governor of Sabah was full of red eyes to discuss planning and construction issues with Yao Yi and James.

Yao Yi said: " The eastern region is looking for an excellent bay to build steel mills and shipyards and other heavy industries, so as to form a heavy industry industrial base, the northwest bordering the South China Sea and Brunei to build a logistics center and a trade center, the central and southern parts of the construction of academic centers and research centers, the British aid to build Oxford University and Cambridge University are called Yao's Oxford and Yao's Cambridge respectively, each campus covers an area of 100,000 acres, from now on to form a super science and technology city and cultural city, the future lord's palace is also built in the central region, and with this as the core, the construction of highways and tracks'Transportation' tools to promote economic development!"

When the governor of Sabah heard this, he smiled from ear to ear, and before his eyes, it seemed that a beautiful picture had unfolded.

James saw this situation, what can he say, in fact, he has begun to lose the dominance, especially the effect of the way of conducting this referendum, so that his original plan has been all 'disrupted', he has no status in the hearts of the people of Sabah, and this time he has no status in the upper leadership, look at the smile of the governor of Sabah to Yao Yi and the smile to him, you can know it very clearly.

Although James felt uncomfortable and helpless, he was an interesting person who knew how to advance and retreat, unlike Godward, who didn't have any ability and liked to be strong, and worked against Yao Yi, but was roasted by Yao Yi, and the result was miserable, fortunately Yao Yi's subordinates were merciful, otherwise there would only be a skeleton left now.

James is precisely because he knows how to advance and retreat, and now, he further understands the power of Yao Yi, so he can only give up the original plan, first follow Yao Yi's plan to move forward, earn money first, and then talk about it, now what he needs most is money, with money, many things are easy to do.

James soon cooperated with Yao Yi and carried out everything, and a world-class logistics company and trading company began to take root.
