Chapter Ninety-Five: Going to South Korea
In the current Zhou You, the help of the individual potential can be said to be minimal, and only when the individual force forms a large-scale group force, the help to him can have a little effect. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Because, his current opponents or competitors are not personal forces, and no personal forces can oppose him. Compared with the state apparatus, the role of individual power is too small.
For example, this time, he wants to establish a well-organized Chinese chamber of commerce, and his opponents are several countries in Southeast Asia with large Chinese groups. The confrontation between the chamber of commerce and the state may not be much at first, but in the end, in order to protect the interests of Chinese businessmen, it will inevitably go to the opposite side.
In such a situation, the support of one Chinese businessman is far from enough, unless it is ten, a hundred, or even a thousand. Only when all Chinese businessmen unite can they have the ability to resist risks and face any storm.
The next day, Zhou You and Gracia left the company's investment negotiation team to continue negotiations in Jakarta, and they arrived in Semarang on a special plane with a team of bodyguards and secretaries.
The reason why Semarang was used as the location for this meeting with Chinese businessmen was mainly to give face to the Pan family. At the beginning of Zhou You's fortune, he received strong support from Pan Yuan, and now the viagra they produce still pays 15% of the profits to Zhou You every year. Therefore, in order to avoid the political center of Jakarta and also to give face to the Pan family, Semarang became a suitable choice.
Otherwise, this is not the city with the largest number of Chinese in Indonesia, nor is it the area with the highest proportion of Chinese, so there is no need to choose this place as a base for contacting Chinese businessmen.
However, this meeting did not discuss any in-depth topics, and it was purely a liaison meeting for Chinese businessmen. Moreover, Zhou You did not take the initiative to propose the idea of establishing a chamber of commerce, this matter was first secretly contacted by the Pan family, and only after Zhou You set off this wave in other places, will this side officially express its position.
This is also to not irritate the nerves of the Indonesian government.
Pan Guangnian, the patriarch of the Pan family, had very complicated feelings about Zhou You, when he met Zhou You ten years ago, Zhou You was just a fledgling calf, and he didn't think much of Zhou You at first.
When Zhou You had a conflict with the Suharto family, he really thought that Zhou You was a little self-conscious. However, the development of the gaffe made him unable to see clearly, Zhou You not only killed Suharto's grandson Humo, but also killed Prabo, who he once stammered, and did nothing himself, so that the Suharto family suffered this big loss.
At this time, he actively changed his attitude and became affectionate with Zhou You. But because Zhou You has never been to Indonesia again, he only met Zhou You directly once in 2004 when Zhou You held a birthday celebration for several children in the capital.
Later, Zhou You has always been very close to Pan Yuan, and he has a good relationship with several of his cousins. In addition, Pan Guangnian thought that eggs could not be placed in a basket, so he didn't travel too closely.
However, the speed of Zhou You's development is too fast, in just a few years, Zhou You has developed into the world's richest man, in 2005 in the United States for half a year in prison, but when he was released from prison, he was already the world's richest man.
Later, Zhou You vigorously developed South America, from a simple businessman to a political businessman with political power. Relying on the development in South America, his power has really expanded, and at this time, Pan Guangnian can't even stammer.
After Suharto's death, the Suharto family really declined, and Zhou You was already the object of his disappointment. He was worried that he was not close to Zhou You without Qu Ao, but now Zhou You handed over the task of liaison to the Pan family, so he is now more active than Zhou You.
Almost all the big families in Indonesia, Pan Guangnian personally called and communicated with those patriarchs about the plan of Zhou You, and most of them were very much in favor of Zhou You forming a well-managed Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
Although there are some people who are worried that their family will be subject to some constraints in the future, compared with the benefits they can get, the annual membership fee is bound by that little constraint, which seems to be nothing.
In the face of the enthusiasm of Indonesian Chinese businessmen, Zhou You was quite cold, and he was a little puzzled at first, but none of them were fools, and they quickly understood the meaning of Zhou You.
At this point, no one talks about the formation of merchants anymore, just talks about feelings.
After two days of socializing, no one dared to force him to drink after all these years, but this time he also let go of his alcohol consumption and was dizzy for two days.
However, his posture is not without effect, at least in these Chinese families, the reputation of Zhou You is still good, although the family is big, but there is no shelf, it is still very approachable.
On Saturday, April 11th, the children were taken directly to Bali by the Elizabeth when the weekend came, and the whole family met together at the Hilton Hotel in Bali.
The Hilton Hotel in Bali, located in the southernmost part of the island, was originally a Japanese hotel with a very large area and a very large hotel. Not only does it have its own private beach, private coconut grove, but also countless shops and restaurants, and it would take two days for one person to enjoy all the rides in the hotel.
After being acquired by Hilton Hotels & Resorts, the hotel was renovated and has a very high occupancy rate as it is the main reception hotel for tours around the tourist routes developed in the country.
In fact, in the Pacific Ocean, there are a lot of islands as charming as Bali, each with stunning beaches, coconut groves, and secluded forests. The main reason why Bali is famous is that this island is large and has a strong reception capacity, and compared to the scenery, it is far worse than Bora Bora in Polynesia.
After the tour family met in Bali, they lost interest after a general tour of the island. In addition, there were too many onlookers, so in the end they simply played in the hotel.
I took a few children to play with the amusement facilities in the hotel, and also played games in groups, so that the children were all happy.
On April 13, Zhou returned to Jakarta and signed a joint development plan with the Indonesian government for the Samjak Coal Mine on Kalimantan Island. The coal mine is very rich in reserves, but it is located in the center of Kalimantan and is very difficult to transport.
For this reason, although the mine is rich in high-quality coal, there has been no large-scale development in Indonesia.
Zhou You will invest $300 million to build a nearly 200-kilometer railway, from Mazen all the way to the coal mines. But at the same time, there are four small copper mines, two gold mines, and a diamond mine along the way, all of which will be handed over to the traveling companies to develop.
This development plan is not large, and it is also small for Indonesia, but it represents a signal that Chinese assets are starting to invest in Indonesia again.
Moreover, this is only one part of the Kalimantan development plan, and the larger overall development plan will be carried out after subsequent negotiations.
In Kalimantan, especially in West Kalimantan, the proportion of Chinese accounts for almost more than half. Like Sankouyang, more than sixty percent of the residents are Chinese, plus this is the largest oil base in Indonesia, although Zhou You can't control the oil now, but the island is also rich in minerals, Zhou You is also willing to use this as a model for development, for the benefit of the local Chinese.
On April 14, Zhou returned to Singapore, but did not stay in Singapore for two days before preparing to go to South Korea to negotiate a catalogue of goods purchased and sold in South Korea.
Zhouyou's reputation in Asia has always been high, especially in East and Southeast Asia, and because his skin color is yellow, the people of Dongying and South Korea also have a sense of identity and worship for Zhouyou.
Even the Pirates of the Caribbean series, in which Zhou You participated, had a very high box office in Japan and South Korea, and he considered the pride of the yellow people who traveled around.
According to the feedback from the company's information department, the South Korean people were very enthusiastic when they knew that they were going to South Korea, and they did everything possible to inquire about the itinerary of the tour, and wanted to see the tour in person.
For this reason, the itinerary of traveling to South Korea is also changing again and again, and the company's external relations department will receive a fax from the South Korean Ministry of Economy and Trade every day, wanting to make the two-day itinerary of the tour a little fuller.
In addition to South Korea's economic and trade department, which is in charge of the electronics industry and the chemical industry, these industries that have direct business with Zhouyou's Tmall, even the Ministry of Culture is also involved and wants to arrange exchanges with the cultural department for Zhouyou.
Zhou You saw the fax, thought about it, drew a horizontal line under the Girls' Generation performance, and handed it to Rodriguez. "South Korea's No. 1 girl group is quite famous, and I am also a fan of them, so I will be very happy to meet them in South Korea this time."
Rodriguez traveled almost all day, but he didn't realize that he had watched the Girls' Generation show. She knew what kind of person her boss was and asked, "Which one do you like, I'll see if I can arrange it." ā
The attraction of the stars to travel is far less than that in China, and their women are almost carved out of a mold, but when they go to their streets and nightclubs, they will know that the proportion of their beautiful women is far lower than that of the mainland.
In his previous life, Zhou You liked two actresses, one was the natural beauty Kim Tae-hee, and the other was the girl Lin Yun'er who was full of aura, and she didn't have any feelings for other people. has been busy all day long in this life, and women have never been missing, let alone the idea of a South Korean actress. If it weren't for the coincidence, Zhou You'd not think of girlhood.
He pointed at Lin Yun'er and said, "This girl has an aura, I like it very much." ā
Rodriguez nodded and said, "I know what to do." ā
When she was about to go out, Zhou You stopped her again. "Last time, I gave you a batch of diamonds for you to take to Belgium for processing, are they finished?"
"Some were picked up by the ladies, and some are in your collection."
"Get it for me, I'll choose a set of jewelry."
After Rodriguez went out, Zhou You dialed Paris's phone. "Honey, have you come back from Kuala Lumpur?"
Paris is the opposite of her interest in traveling, who likes natural scenery, but she likes cultural landscapes the most. Recently, she has been visiting ancient buildings and cultural relics in Southeast Asia, hoping to add a little cultural characteristics of Southeast Asia to her future designs.
"I'm going to stay one night and go back tomorrow, and many of the cultural relics here in Malaysia are very close to the style of the mainland, which inspires me a lot."
"Would you like to come with me to South Korea?"
She thought for a moment and said, "Is it useful to get to my place?" I don't want to spend all day with you. ā
"Okay, forget it, but you have someone ready to sign an endorsement contract, and this time, I may sign a brand ambassador for you."
Paris immediately understood, and scolded Zhou You with a few words before saying, "What style is she, does it match my brand style?" ā
"Of course!"
"Okay, I'll get the contract ready. It just so happens that my autumn and winter fashion is about to be launched, and I need a South Korean spokesperson. ā
"It's not just South Korea, it's East Asia, including Dongying and Wanwan, as well as Hong Kong and the mainland."
Paris asked, "What about Mimi?" She is the general spokesperson of my brand in the mainland, and Isabella is the spokesperson of cosmetics, which cannot be changed casually. ā
"It's just an endorsement of a classified series, and it won't touch the interests of the two of them."
"Well, they're not happy anyway, so I don't have to bother coaxing them."
If you want to say that among the three women, Paris is the most generous, she doesn't care about traveling around other women at all, but thinks that traveling around is a sign of charm, otherwise, she wouldn't have pulled almost all of her best friends into Zhou You's bed.
Gracia doesn't care and is indifferent to this, but as long as Zhou You asks, she will willingly arrange all kinds of women for Zhou You.
As for Yan Fangqing, her thinking is still relatively traditional, she can't manage traveling, and she simply can't see it. But if you want her to help you pick up girls, it's impossible.
Soon, Alexander, Paris's special assistant, sent over a stamped contract detailing the two-year endorsement period and endorsement area. One and a half million US dollars in two years, compared with Yang Mi's five million US dollars in three years, is definitely far inferior, but for a young star who has just debuted, this contract is still relatively large.
Although the dollar has plummeted now, there are still more than 1,000 won per dollar, and this 1.5 million is equivalent to 1.6 billion won, which can be regarded as a good deal.
The more important thing is not the question of money, Paris's brand is now also a world famous brand, and endorsing Paris's brand will have a very beneficial effect on her worth and fame.
Girls' Generation in 2009 was only two years after their debut, and the unequal treaty they signed required more than eighty percent of their income to be handed over to the company, and the rest was only nine people. Presumably, this contract, with a piece of jewelry, can also help you soak in another favorite girl.
Early in the morning of 15 July, the special plane left Singapore's Paya Lebar Military Airport and landed at Seoul's Gimpo Airport on time five hours later.
