The plane descended under the clouds, revealing the wet Hong Kong. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Tang Jing wore tight-fitting light coffee-colored low-waisted trousers, which vividly made people really feel the breath of youth.

"The rain has been falling since the morning, and it hasn't ......stopped until now," Tang Jing put her arm around Zhang Ke's arm, looked at Zhang Ke's slightly tired cheeks, and stubble appeared in her chin.

Zhang Ke gently patted Tang Jing's rosy cheeks, looked at the rain curtain under the canopy through the transparent glass door of the pick-up hall, and said, "There is some time in the afternoon, let's go to HKU for a walk......

Compared with the calm atmosphere in China, the people of Hong Kong have the right to vent their grief and indignation and show solidarity with the suffering compatriots in Indonesia in various forms.

There are also people handing out leaflets in the airport hall, and some people are explaining the events that have just happened in Indonesia to tourists who have just arrived in the airport hall, hoping to attract more people's attention to this humanitarian disaster against the Chinese.

There are no political leanings, no particularly extreme rhetoric, just an indictment of the humanitarian catastrophe that has occurred in a civilized society, and an indictment of the Indonesian government's inaction and connivance with the mob. The airport management was also lenient and even sent staff to maintain order on the spot.

The University of Hong Kong is completely open to the outside world, and there is no security guard common to domestic universities at the entrance, let alone the wall separating the university from society, and the teaching buildings are erected there like ordinary street buildings.

After the heavy rain, the silent drizzle was still flying in front of him, Zhang Ke accompanied Tang Jing to walk under the rain banyan on campus, and occasionally a big raindrop fell on his face and neck. There were also students wearing raincoats and umbrellas giving speeches on campus, listening to Tang Jing say that they had originally contacted the Chinese University of Chinese to march together to the Indonesian consulate in Hong Kong, but the sudden heavy rain in the early morning disrupted the itinerary and was forced to reschedule, but the protests on campus have not stopped, and some departments have even suspended classes today, and there are also activities to broadcast news slides.

The news slideshow was played in the lobby of the entertainment center building of the University of Hong Kong, Zhang Ke and Tang Jing walked over, and the spacious hall was full of people, and many others stood in the aisles.

Seeing these tragic news pictures again, Zhang Ke's heart was surging, his fingernails were deeply pinched into the flesh of his palm, Tang Jing hugged Zhang Ke's arm, and gently spread out his palm, interlocking his fingers. Tang Jing and Zhang Ke walked out of the hall where the news materials were played, and walked in a hazy drizzle like smoke.

Before nightfall, Zhang Ke took Tang Jing to the Peninsula Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui to meet Nick Leeson, who had rushed back from Indonesia. When they arrived at the Peninsula Hotel, it was dinner time, and everyone had no appetite, so Zhang Ke and Tang Jing ordered two fried noodles to fill their stomachs, and ordered two cups of coffee to drink, waiting for Guo Songyan, Sun Shangyi, and Ge Mingde to rush over from the other side of the strait.

Before Guo Yansong, Sun Shangyi, and Ge Mingde arrived, Zhang Ke received a call from Ye Zhenmin.

"I'll be in Hong Kong at noon on the 11th, I heard that you are in Hong Kong today, can you find time to talk?" Ye Zhenmin said on the phone.

Ye Zhenmin previously served as deputy director of the Liaison Office of the Central Government in Hong Kong in his capacity as vice minister of foreign affairs and economic cooperation due to the Asian financial crisis. Although the central government's public stance is extremely mild, it does not mean that the activities behind it are also moderate, but these activities are not public.

"I'm at the Peninsula Hotel, Mr. Guo Songyan, Mr. Sun Shangyi, and Mr. Ge Mingde are on the ferry to the Peninsula Hotel, Mr. Guo Songyan said that he wants to introduce me to a guest, and I will wait for the end of this place and take time to meet you in the West District at night." Zhang Ke said.

"Guo Songyan has also arrived in Hong Kong, that's great, I just want to see Guo Songyan. I'll come to see you......" Ye Zhenmin will not be confined to his identity and be entangled in irrelevant issues such as who meets whom.

Ye Zhenmin also knows that Guo Songyan has come to Hong Kong? Zhang Ke felt strange in his heart, although he felt that Ye Zhenmin was in a hurry to meet at this time for another purpose, but he would not refuse him to come to the Peninsula Hotel to meet together, drinking coffee and waiting for Guo Songyan, Sun Shangyi, and Ge Mingde to come over first. The hedge fund couldn't let Guo Songyan know, let alone the guests brought by Guo Songyan, so Nick Leeson stayed for a while and went back to his room first.

In the luxurious duplex suite of Nuoda, there are only Zhang Ke and Tang Jing left, and Fu Jun and other staff members at any time have another room to stay.

A man in his early fifties that Guo Songyan wanted to introduce had a sad expression and a resolute gaze.

"This is Mr. Chen Wencong of Indonesia Wanye Group......" Guo Songyan said.

"Hello, I deeply regret the disaster that happened in Indonesia, I want to do something, but I am very powerless" Zhang Ke stepped forward and held Chen Wencong's rough hand, Chen Wencong is a famous Chinese leader ......in Indonesia, although there was no contact before, but Guo Songyan introduced, Zhang Ke naturally will not be cold, and he will not be unheard of by the main Chinese billionaires in Indonesia. It's just that it is not clear whether Chen Wencong's family members were victimized in this disaster, and there is no way to express condolences.

Zhang Ke understood at this time, Ye Zhenmin was in a hurry to come over to see Chen Wencong, but he didn't know where he knew that Chen Wencong and Guo Songyan were together; However, he wants to know, there are always channels to know, Ye Zhenmin is the deputy director of the Liaison Office of the Central Government in Hong Kong.

"If it weren't for the news materials of the riots to spread across the country in time, and if they hadn't attracted the attention of the international community and the media in time, it is hard to imagine how long the catastrophe would have spread. Chen Wencong let go of Zhang Ke's hand, took a step back, and bowed deeply.

Zhang Ke was startled, and when he remembered how he came back, he was ashamed, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug Chen Wencong, and said, "I'm ashamed to be a ......" Guo Songyan also carried Chen Wencong to the indoor sofa and sat down.

The day before the incident, that is, on the 9th, when the situation was as urgent as an angry bow that opened the strings, Guo Songyan not only informed Yunyuan Group's factory in Indonesia to make preparations for self-protection, but also informed several of his close friends in the Indonesian business community to prepare early, and if he could not leave Indonesia in time, he would also gather in public places such as factories and Chinese schools to protect himself, and even informed the Singapore authorities to be prepared for possible situations. After the riots broke out, international human rights organizations and media reporters sponsored by Zhang Ke through Nick Leessen through overseas account funds promptly disseminated news materials about the anti-Chinese riots out of Indonesia's borders.

At the end of April, the rumors in Indonesia were already very tight, and Zhang Ke couldn't take care of the secret of overseas hedge funds, so he might leak the news, and told Guo Songyan about the relevant situation, hoping that Guo Songyan would be able to do more, even if it was to reduce the casualties of Yunyuan Group's employees in Indonesia, it would be worth notifying Guo Songyan of the relevant situation in time!

Chen Wencong and others naturally learned from Guo Songyan that the news materials of the riots were able to reach Indonesia's borders in a timely manner, that the Singapore authorities and media could respond so quickly, and that the New York Times would publish the news of Indonesia's anti-Chinese and Chinese people in the shortest possible time, which had a wide impact on the world, and who was doing their best behind it.

Chen Wencong did not leave Indonesia in time, and almost all of Wanye Group's industries are in Indonesia, so he asked his family to leave Indonesia before nightfall on the ninth day, while he himself stayed in Indonesia. After the riots, he took a plane to Singapore on the afternoon of the 11th to take refuge, and late at night on the 11th, the large-scale riots were brought under control. According to Chen Wencong, at that time, Chinese people were allowed to board the Singapore international flight in Indonesia without a ticket as long as there were still seats on the plane, and even though the riots had been brought under control late at night on 11 July, Singapore's Zhangi International Airport was still accepting overseas Chinese who had fled from Indonesia 24 hours a day.

Zhang Ke pondered for a moment and said: "China and Indonesia have always been very sensitive to the issue of overseas Chinese, and the government's public statements will be a little mild, and we can only do our best to help the overseas Chinese in Indonesia in other ways. I don't dare to take credit for this matter. Minister Ye Zhenmin, Deputy Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong, knows that you are coming here with Mr. Kwok, and he is coming from the Western District, so please ask Mr. Chen to meet him......"

"Ah......" Chen Wencong and Guo Songyan were all surprised.

Sun Shangyi knew that Zhang Ke had paid out of his own pocket to sponsor international human rights organizations and media reporters to go to Indonesia to investigate local anti-Chinese, ** and other racial discrimination issues, and it was just in time that he would curb the spread of this Indonesian Chinese catastrophe to the greatest extent.

Hearing Zhang Ke say this, Sun Shangyi was even surprised, Zhang Ke was clearly giving credit to the government, and he didn't know his intention to do so.

Fu Jun came in and said that Ye Zhenmin's car had arrived at the dock, and the dock was only a few minutes' walk here, Zhang Ke said: "Mr. Sun will accompany me to pick up Minister Ye," gently pressed Tang Jing's shoulder, and said to her, "Xiaojing, you accompany Mr. Guo and they sit here for a while......

Walking out of the door of the room, Zhang Kecai said to Sun Shangyi: "Although the government adheres to the past political tradition and makes some mild statements in public, I believe that the government has not stood idly by, and it is impossible to sit idly by......

Zhang Ke believed in his heart that more than 60 percent of the foreign capital introduced in China by the end of '97 had come from overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese, and that China would continue to vigorously introduce foreign capital and develop the economy, and it would not be possible to break the hearts of overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese compatriots too much. Otherwise, Ye Zhenmin would not have rushed over - only at this time he was deeply involved in the process of this history, otherwise the international community would have delayed until early July to pay extensive attention to the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia, and Zhang Ke did not know how history would evolve at this moment. Ye Zhenmin rushed over, probably to appease Chen Wencong. Taking 10,000 steps back, Zhang Ke can't help but cooperate with Ye Zhenmin.

Sun Shangyi said with a wry smile: "Political traditions should not be set in stone, what are your plans when you said that just now?" Sun Shangyi only came to Hong Kong from the mainland in the mid-80s, and he felt particularly deeply about the political traditions of the mainland, and it was inevitable that he would smile bitterly.

"This is just a white lie, if it weren't for Chen Wencong and other Indonesian Chinese and overseas Chinese groups not knowing about this, I would rather keep this matter rotten in their hearts and never mention it again," Zhang Ke said, "I personally can't afford this kindness." If you want to talk about any plans, I think Kumho will definitely want to be consistent with national interests for it to really rise, and of course, Kumho will not get involved in political issues. ”

Sun Shangyi nodded, understanding Zhang Ke's intentions, and took the elevator to wait for Ye Zhenmin outside the hotel lobby.

It was very close to the Peninsula Hotel from the Seven Star Wharf, Zhang Ke and Sun Shangyi had just arrived at the door, and Ye Zhenmin's car had also stopped in front of the hotel.

Zhang Ke, Sun Shangyi and Ye Zhenmin entered an elevator and asked Fu Jun to accompany Ye Zhenmin's secretary and driver into another elevator.

"Uncle Ye, you guess that the news of the riots came out in time, and I was behind it?"

Ye Zhenmin nodded and said, "It was a guess before, but I heard that Guo Songyan brought Chen Wencong to see you, so I can be sure, and you will also call Ambassador Xiao in advance...... Alas, the reaction is still a little slower, and the central government will remember these things you do. ”

"Chen Wencong and Guo Songyan are upstairs, I have already told them, Uncle Ye, you have come to see them......"

"......" Ye Zhenmin looked at Zhang Ke puzzled.

"If you didn't have Uncle Ye's backing, where would I be able to do these things?" Zhang Ke said.

Ye Zhenmin understood after a little thought, and said: "I know that you are dissatisfied with the moderate attitude of the central government, and you have made that drama in Dongda, I don't know how many people will have a headache for it!" This can only be the case with a public statement, but if you can make such a decision, I believe that you can still understand the painstaking efforts of the central authorities to some extent in your heart -- you can also rest assured that there will be no internal activities. ”

Zhang Ke nodded, and with a tacit understanding, there was no need to say anything, and they went upstairs together.

Ye Zhenmin rushed over, he was in a hurry to see Chen Wencong, and also to see Guo Songyan, to explain to them the position and bitterness of the central government in the Indonesian anti-Chinese riots, and said: "Now the international community and the media are paying great attention to the Indonesian anti-Chinese riots, and the central government is always paying attention to it, and will not tolerate the further deterioration of the situation......

With Zhang Ke's previous foreshadowing, Chen Wencong naturally accepted Ye Zhenmin's words, and was willing to arrange for Ye Zhenmin to meet with overseas Chinese leaders who fled to Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand in Indonesia in a private setting.

Ye Zhenmin also made it clear that he would be invited to Thailand in the near future to discuss a cooperation in economic assistance, which would prompt the Thai government to give greater help to the Chinese refugees on the issue of the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia. After sending Guo Songyan, Chen Wencong, Sun Shangyi, Ge Mingde and others away, Ye Zhenmin was not in a hurry to leave, and talked to Zhang Ke at the Peninsula Hotel for a while, saying: "Your decision is indeed conducive to the current united front work. If the talks go well, the Thai Government will invite the military to increase the number of troops stationed at the Sino-Thai joint base in Songkhla, Thailand, and the central authorities will also consider strengthening cooperation within the framework of the Sino-Thai friendship arms sales agreement...... China will also carefully consider opening an onshore oil pipeline from Myanmar to Chengdu via Kunming and Chongqing. ”

"Uncle Ye, you told me these secrets, didn't it increase my psychological burden?" Zhang Ke said with a wry smile.

The Malacca Sea Route is the gateway to the Indian Ocean, and the vast majority of oil currently imported from overseas in China passes through the Strait of Malacca. The Strait of Malacca is controlled by two pro-American countries, Indonesia and Malaysia, and although Indonesia, Malaysia and China have established peaceful diplomatic relations, the two sides have deep conflicts of interest, and the most important is the sovereignty dispute over the Spratly Islands. On the other hand, Thailand's relations with Indonesia are extremely bad, and China can strengthen military cooperation with Thailand and Myanmar to counterbalance Indonesia's and Malaysia's control of the Strait of Malacca. At this time, giving economic assistance to Thailand and negotiating cooperation in the military field is also putting pressure on Indonesia. The construction of an oil pipeline between Myanmar and inland Chengdu is also an attempt to reduce dependence on the Strait of Malacca shipping lane, which has been proposed but has not been built until a decade later – a term that appears to be more like a means of pressure during negotiations.

The domestic economy will continue to grow at a high speed for ten years, and it is extremely dependent on overseas crude oil imports. Indonesia has not used the Strait of Malacca to make things difficult for the country once or twice, but Zhang Ke is inclined to build an overland oil pipeline from Myanmar to Chengdu as soon as possible.

"It's not that I decided to tell you these things out of my own hands. None of the Xinhua News Agency's reporters in Indonesia were able to get the news out of the anti-Chinese riots in a timely manner, but Quantum's online news report was very timely, and you think that the CIA was all mixed up...... However, there is no conclusive evidence, and there is some hesitation on it. I think you're capable enough, and you're probably keeping an eye on the situation in Southeast Asia. ”

"That's right, I can't hide it from Uncle Ye if I pout anything," Zhang Ke said, "This time it's a fluke, we do suspect that the Indonesian rupiah will have a wave of plummeting before we pay special attention to it......" Of course, Zhang Ke will not be stupid to talk to Ye Zhenmin about the history that has happened, and can only explain it by the coincidence, "I don't doubt it now, the US Congress has also officially discussed the nature of this Indonesian anti-Chinese riot, once it is determined that it is a serious racial discrimination disaster, the US government will also open the channel to accept Indonesian Chinese to take refuge in the United States." After this incident, a large-scale withdrawal of Chinese capital from Indonesia is predictable, which will also lead to a further collapse of the rupiah...... Uncle Ye, don't you report everything to us. ”

"I told you, as long as it is in accordance with the law and does not damage the interests of the country, no one cares what you have done outside, but you yourself must be careful not to become the object of others' diversion of contradictions." Ye Zhenmin said.

Ye Zhenmin talked to Zhang Ke until late at night before leaving.

The rain in the early morning was heavy again, and seeing the tree trunks outside the window more tender and shiny under the light of the street lamp, Zhang Ke was worried about what might happen in two months, so he ran over to open the windows and listened to the messy sound of the rain and the raindrops jumping into the bedroom.

The wind blowing into the room made the snow bed curtain like waves, Tang Jing went back to the bedroom when Guo Songyan and Sun Shangyi left, Zhang Ke sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Tang Jing who was sleeping quietly, her stomach was pressed down, her skirt was rolled upside down, her white and tender legs were bare, she fell asleep without changing her clothes, and her hair was messy on her red lips.

Zhang Ke gently rubbed her white and transparent cheeks.

"Ah, did Uncle Ye just leave?" Tang Jing opened her fishy sleepy eyes and smiled embarrassedly, "I still want to wait for you, I didn't want to fall asleep next to the bed......" struggled to get up, like a cat, pillowing Zhang Ke's thigh and looking at the rain outside the window.

"I don't have time to accompany you properly, will I blame me?" Zhang Ke touched Tang Jing's chin with his hand.

"Am I going to be so inhuman?" Tang Jing glanced at Zhang Ke and said, "I just don't think I can help you, I see you working so hard." ”

"Just watch the rain with me for a while," Zhang Ke said, watching the raindrops splash in, and asked, "How many poems do you remember about rain......

"Uh......" Tang Jing recalled, "I lay down at night and listened to the wind and rain, and the iron horse and the glacier fell into a dream...... Weicheng is light and dusty, and the guest house is green and willow-colored...... The cold rain and the river entered Wu at night, and Pingming sent guests to Chushan Lonely ...... And then there's ...... Xiaolou listened to the spring rain overnight, and sold apricot blossoms in the Ming Dynasty in the deep alley......"

"You are carrying the verses of the night rain, I think of a sentence," Zhang Ke said with a smile, "The sound of wind and rain at night, how many flowers fall." However, this poem is not well adapted at the University of Tokyo, and you won't want to know. ”

Hong Kong is the center of the Chinese business district in Southeast Asia, and although it has only been a few days since the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia basically subsided, many Indonesian Chinese businessmen have gathered in Hong Kong, like frightened birds.

Regardless of how the mainstream media in the mainland handled the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia, the Hong Kong media and people still gave active support. The next step was arranged by Chen Wencong, Guo Songyan and others, and Ye Zhenmin and others, on behalf of the central government and the Hong Kong authorities, to express condolences to these overseas Chinese who had suffered in private places.

Regardless of whether Ye Zhenmin will reveal some behind-the-scenes actions this time, Zhang Ke will tell Chen Wencong this lie, no matter what, Zhang Ke hopes that his country can become stronger and more confident, of course, this will not weaken the goodwill of overseas Chinese businessmen towards Kumho.

After the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia, it can be expected that the Chinese capital in Indonesia will choose to evacuate. Not to mention that Indonesia's economy has fallen apart, this incident has also left an indelible shadow on Chinese people all over the world, and those overseas Chinese who can afford to leave Indonesia will probably not be willing to stay in that nightmare country for a second longer.

The key is the question of where the Chinese capital in Indonesia will be evacuated.

Zhang Ke hoped that Sun Shangyi and Ge Mingde would actively participate in the considerable matters on behalf of Kumho and Yuexiu.
