439. Support from the motherland
Located on Karenney Road, the Singapore Botanic Gardens covers an area of 74 hectares and is designed as a microcosm of the lush tropical islands, with more than 0,000 species of exotic flowers and precious trees in the subtropics, tropics.
Due to the good sunshine and beautiful scenery, it is also Singapore's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, so a "no-visit zone" has been opened up in the Botanic Gardens.
Visitors are not allowed to set foot in this area as it is full of single-family villas.
Being able to own a bungalow of several kilometers in the botanical garden is not only something that can be done with money, but also requires a certain amount of status and fame and world popularity.
Qiu Henian's status is naturally sufficient, Xiong Baizhou looked at the hollow carved large wooden doors, round arched windows and corner stone masonry inherited the essence of ancient traditional architecture, the green road outside the villa is very quiet, and from time to time there are police figures wandering by, this is to ensure the personal safety of the big people and their families.
The identities of Guo Zixian and Fu Xuezhang are enough to knock on the door of Qiu Henian's house, and Guo Zixian is still a relative of the Qiu family.
After entering the villa, Fu Xuezhang suddenly pointed to a car and said to Xiong Baizhou: "This is Li Renzhuo's car." β
"Oh. β
Xiong Baizhou nodded to indicate that he understood, and Li Renzhuo was ahead of him.
Xiong Baizhou stared at the simple and elegant faΓ§ade of the villa, the livable inner courtyard structure and the abundant landscaping, and suddenly said to Qiu Wenge, who was about to offer affection to Guo Zixian: "Where are the bridegroom and bride?"
Qiu Wenge is still very wary of Xiong Baizhou, after the wedding, He Xinyu will go back to Malaysia, and Ma Muchao will go back to Indonesia, it seems that they are all very satisfied with Guo Zixian, and they may have to go back to show their attitudes to their respective elders.
If Guo Zixian's side is not disgusted, the two parties can try to contact.
But Qiu Wenge felt that Xiong Baizhou brought the most pressure, after all, Qiu Henian was not optimistic that his nephew could compete with Xiong Baizhou.
"They were preparing clothes and there were private parties in the evening. Qiu Wenge replied, he looked at Xiong Baizhou again: "Come over with you in the evening, you entered the police station at noon because of a misunderstanding, Peizhi and Yang were very sorry, they said that they should toast you with a glass of wine." β
"I also have a lot of responsibility. Xiong Baizhou smiled: "I want to go to the bride and groom to make a hole in the room, can Brother Wenge lead the way?"
If you put aside the identity of "rival in love", Qiu Wenge's sense of Xiong Baizhou is actually very good, he talks elegantly, his words are precise, and the bodyguard's fists and feet are even more surprising, Qiu Wenge is very willing to "fair competition" with Xiong Baizhou in love.
Of course, Qiu Wenge definitely didn't know that Xiong Baizhou had already "secretly crossed Chen Cang".
Xiong Baizhou still apologized humbly when he saw Qiu Peizhi and He Yang, and even took all the responsibility on himself.
However, the people of the Qiu family felt that Xiong Baizhou was not at fault, this was a big fuss made by the police chief Li Xianming, Xiong Baizhou just commented on the situation of the semiconductor industry in two sentences, and as a result, Li Xianming arrested people at the wedding.
I heard that Xiong Baizhou is the actual controlling owner of the largest electrical appliance retail chain store in Chinese mainland, how can such a person take it at will.
Now, on the contrary, the Qiu family is unhappy that Xiong Baizhou is being held in the prison cell, although they do not stay for a few hours.
He Yang said: "Mr. Xiong, don't take it to heart, the real initiator only knows to visit President Qiu, send someone to bring in the gift and leave, do we two still care about this gift?"
Qiu Peizhi was also a little annoyed: "Maybe our identity is not enough for Chairman Li to ask." β
Lee is the Chairman of Temasek Group, so he is called "Chairman Lee".
Guo Zixian couldn't help but glance at Xiong Baizhou, no wonder he found that Li Renzhuo took the first step to meet Qiu Henian, and immediately came to see the bride and groom, it turned out that Xiong Baizhou had long expected that the bride and groom were unhappy.
Faced with the newlyweds' complaints, Xiong Baizhou did not answer steadily.
In fact, Li Renzhuo did not make a mistake, he is the same generation as Qiu Wenge's father Qiu Fangli, and belongs to the second generation of successors, in his heart, it is enough to apologize to Qiu Henian and Qiu Kongfeng.
It's a subconscious thought, and it's human nature.
Even if He Yang and Qiu Peizhi complained, it would be useless, in fact, the best way to deal with it at this time was for the third generation of the Li family to come over to appease them, so that there would be no omission to solve the problem.
"In any case, I also have an impulsive responsibility, so I would like to sincerely invite you and you to travel to the mainland, and I will be my guide. Xiong Baizhou said enthusiastically.
This was unexpected, Qiu Peizhi and He Yang looked at each other before they could agree, and the servant came over: "Mr. Qiu invited the guest over." β
Xiong Baizhou stood up with a gentle smile on his face: "I'll say hello to President Qiu." β
Qiu Wenge thought that the greeting would end soon, but it wasn't until the end of the private banquet in the evening that Qiu Henian was still communicating with Xiong Baizhou, and Qiu Wenge realized that the two should have something important to discuss.
Because Qiu Henian's time is very precious, there are many things to deal with, even Li Renzhuo's visit is less than twenty minutes, but Xiong Baizhou has exceeded two hours.
Just when Qiu Wenge was speculating in his heart, Qiu Henian suddenly asked Qiu Peizhi to go over with him.
The maid in the reception room was packing up the tea set, which showed that Xiong Baizhou had just left, Qiu Henian's face was a little tired, but his eyes were bright, and it seemed that the conversation just now aroused his interest.
After seeing Qiu Peizhi come in, Qiu Henian asked with concern: "Peizhi drank a lot of wine at night. β
Qiu Peizhi blushed, she was Qiu Henian's granddaughter, and she spoke more casually: "It's rare that many friends have come over, and I still want to wait for my grandfather." β
Qiu Henian smiled: "Grandpa has been talking to the guests." β
"You mean Xiong Baizhou?" Qiu Peizhi was a little surprised, it turned out that Xiong Baizhou had been here for so long.
Qiu Henian nodded: "I heard that he also went to look for you and Yang in the afternoon?"
"He invited us to travel to the mainland and said that we would be guides. Qiu Peizhi said truthfully.
"Hahaha. β
Qiu Henian laughed heartily: "Xiong Baizhou is so busy, how can he really accompany you if he has time, but since he said it, he also has a heart, and he can really go back and have a look if he is free." β
Someone walked in again, it turned out to be Qiu Fangli, who negotiated on behalf of the Qiu family during the day, and now the chairman of Yihai Kerry, one of the second-generation successors of the Qiu family.
Qiu Henian motioned for Qiu Fangli to sit down, his expression gradually became serious, and he said slowly: "Just now, the young man from the mainland and I talked about the cooperation of the semiconductor wafer factory. β
Singapore's street lights are well lit, and the embassy's vans run smoothly on the wide road.
"I really can't imagine that Chairman Qiu already has the intention of selling the fab. Fu Xuezhang sighed in the front row.
Xiong Baizhou is not surprised, the Qiu family's business operations have already reflected this intention, but he originally thought that the Qiu family was looking for a partner.
"Actually, President Qiu is already interested in my proposal. Xiong Baizhou thought for a while and said.
Looking at Fu Xuezhang's incomprehensible eyes, Xiong Baizhou explained: "Ordinary business negotiations will not expose the hole cards so quickly, but Chairman Qiu told us the plan to abandon the wafer factory at the last moment, which shows that he also has this tendency in his heart, but it is more difficult and requires more efforts on our side." β
"Where does the difficulty come from?" Fu Xuezhang pointed in the direction of the Singapore government building.
Xiong Baizhou nodded silently.
Fu Xuezhang was silent and did not speak, quietly thinking about the next direction of operation, if he can solve this problem during his tenure, it will be a bright spot for the development of the motherland and his personal diplomatic career.
Two days later, Xiong Baizhou was ready to leave Singapore with Guo Zixian, but the Qiu family still did not give specific advice.
Xiong Baizhou is not surprised, which shows that there are internal divisions.
This is a good thing, and the disagreement shows that there are people within the Qiu family who support moving the fab to the mainland, rather than thinking only about how to move to Taiwan.
If the goal is to be achieved, the efforts of both sides, especially the mainland, will be needed, otherwise Xiong Baizhou's early efforts will be in vain.
Before boarding, Fu Xuezhang hurriedly came and handed over a document, but it must be signed by Xiong Baizhou and Guo Zixian and stamped before they can be flipped through.
Xiong Baizhou had no choice but to take out the seal and sign his name, and Fu Xuezhang handed over the document to Xiong Baizhou.
