At the presidential palace in Singapore, Zhou You and Shao sat side by side on the large sofa in the Prime Minister's office, watching the statistics of the damage on the TV screen. In the face of nature, all life is equal, whether it is white, rich, poor, indigenous, there is only one life.

Looking at those miserable pictures, Zhou You and Shao Zhangmen both had serious expressions and pity. In particular, many villages and towns in Indonesia, which were the hardest hit this time, were swept away by the tsunami, and the corpses piled up in a mountain that looked particularly miserable.

The 10-meter-high waves washed up onto land with mud and sand, taking away countless lives. The sea has also washed away factories and houses, lacking fresh water and electricity everywhere, and the washed out roads have made rescue efforts difficult.

"I heard that the first batch of aid raised by your company is being loaded into ships today?"

"Yes, the Secretariat is urgently liaising with China Southern Airlines in the mainland, and three planes have been chartered, and this afternoon, the first batch of fresh water and bread will be delivered to Thailand and Sri Lanka, as well as Chennai in southern India."

The young head sighed and asked, "No Indonesia?" ”

Zhou You replied firmly: "No." ”

He stood up and looked out the window for a moment before he said, "You can do whatever you want, but we can't." Since you are not prepared to provide any assistance to Indonesia, then Singapore has to tilt its resources towards Indonesia. I hope that your company's assistance will also be placed under the unified management of the government and distributed reasonably. ”

Zhou You nodded and said, "As long as the funds for my supplies are not sent to Indonesia, everything can be acted in accordance with the government's arrangement." ”

"No problem."

The young master's simple answer surprised Zhou You, but then he understood a little. If Zhouyou's large aid is placed in Singapore's aid, it can bring Singapore a greater reputation, and it doesn't matter where his aid is allocated.

Singapore may be small, but it is a country with very close ties to the affected countries in Southeast Asia, and this time the government and private assistance will not be a small amount. Even if the money from the trip does not go to Indonesia, there will still be a very large amount of aid going to Indonesia.

Moreover, when Zhou You's aid is placed in the overall aid, the flow of funds will not be noticed, and even if he does not donate a penny to Indonesia, it will not attract attention.

Subsequently, the young head discussed with Zhou You about the charity party that would be held in two days, and sent a team to coordinate all the materials raised by Zhou You, and then sent Zhou You away.

In the wake of the disaster, most government officials have canceled their Christmas vacations, and he has more than one person to meet and doesn't have much time to spend with him.

After leaving the presidential palace, the more you thought about it, the more wrong it became. Pooling one's own funds and materials in the government's aid program will indeed reduce some of its influence, but what you need to travel around is to expand your influence. Besides, do you need to care what Indonesians think? Don't care.

The practice of being less in charge is for his own good, but he doesn't seem to care about this benefit at all. On the contrary, he does not donate a penny to Indonesia, and this controversy can bring more attention to himself.

So, before returning to the headquarters, Zhou You's mind changed again. He took out his mobile phone and dialed the private number of the young master. "Prime Minister, although my funds and materials can be put in the big market, I still have to hold a press conference to inform us of the amount of donations and materials, and I will deliberately throw out controversy."

The young master said with some annoyance: "What I just told you was in vain? You should do propaganda, but it's better not to say controversial statements. Tmall is now looking for the possibility of entering the Indonesian market, and Temasek has spent a lot of energy and time on this, don't you want this market of 200 million people? This is the world's fourth largest demographic dividend market! ”

"I don't mind this market until Indonesia lifts the ban on me, that's my principle."

What Zhou You didn't expect was that the young master hung up the phone rudely, which made Zhou You a little unexpected.

He also knew that Singapore was located in the arms of Indonesia and Malaysia, and that it needed to have good relations with these two countries in all aspects. But the government is the government, the individual is the individual, and now he doesn't have to care about the Indonesian market!

Is he still short of money now? No more! Even if he is short of money, he is not willing to wronged himself because of this country.

Later that afternoon, Yan Fangqing held a grand press conference at the headquarters building on Blaney Island. At the reception, Yan Fangqing, on behalf of Nanyang Commercial Investment Group and the Zhou Foundation, officially announced that in the face of this disaster, the Zhou Foundation will provide 100 million US dollars in cash and 50 million US dollars worth of aid materials to carry out emergency assistance and post-disaster reconstruction work. In addition, the Zhou Foundation will contact the International Red Cross to help the Red Cross help the children in the disaster area in the form of cash grants, so that these bereaved children will not become the ********** of the International Human Snake Group, although it is not common in modern society, but every time there is a major natural disaster or a disaster, there are always countless children who have become a money-making tool of the Human Snake Group.

There are many gray areas that I have come into contact with in my previous life, the civil war in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the tsunami in the Indian Ocean, and the earthquake in Haiti, and countless children have become ******* if it is those teenagers, it is a little better, because they have their own outlook on life and independent consciousness, and the most pitiful are those children who are a few years old. They will not be taught anything since they were young, the only thing they are taught is how to please men, and many of their bodies are still severely damaged by drugs, and even if they grow up, they are almost like an idiot.

Yan Fangqing had never heard of this kind of thing, but after Zhou You raised this matter, she also did some understanding of these people, and only then did she know that there was such a dark side in this world.

The $100 million donation was divided into six parts, including $20 million each for Sri Lanka, India, Thailand and Malaysia, $10 million for Maldives and $10 million for the Red Cross.

Most of the donations were distributed to Sri Lanka and the Maldives, two countries that were nearly wiped out.

Most of the Maldives is just under a meter above sea level, and the tsunami is whizzing by, leaving the entire country without water, electricity, or even a phone signal. In the Maldives in particular, the country has been thrown into a state of chaos due to the tsunami that destroyed the freshwater purification plant, the entire population has been left without water and electricity, and the communication signal has been cut off.

As soon as this distribution plan came out, it immediately caused everyone to exclaim. Because everyone knows that Indonesia is the hardest hit area of this disaster, and more than 95 percent of the more than 200,000 people who have died, Indonesia alone. On the island of Sumatra, dozens of towns were destroyed, countless villages almost disappeared, and the death toll exceeded two hundred thousand.

Now, Indonesia is the most in need of rescue, and even the rescue headquarters that was affected by the disaster was arranged in Medan, Sumatra. Not to mention the living, it is the body bag used to hold the dead, Indonesia can't take it out now, and there are countless corpses exposed in the wild.

However, Indonesia, which was the hardest hit by the disaster, did not receive a penny of assistance from the Nanyang Group this time.

Indeed, the travelling aid of $150 million is indeed the most timely and largest contribution, because there are still countless countries that have not responded at all. U.S. President George W. Bush is even vacationing on a farm in Texas now, and he has been scolded around the world for it.

Now, the most positive response is from some European countries, as each of them has many nationals vacationing in Southeast Asia. But a country's aid plan is not so easy to come through, and in addition to some donations from the affected countries, the traveling company is the first foreign company to officially come up with the aid plan.

But why not Indonesia?

As soon as Yan Fangqing's aid plan was announced, the audience raised their arms in the jungle, and Yan Fangqing, who was hosting such a big reception for the first time, felt that her mouth was a little dry and her heart was beating like thunder.

She took a deep breath, took a sip of water, and signaled Liang Xiaoice of the Propaganda Department to start asking questions by name.

The first to be named was a Mediacorp reporter, who stood up and asked the question that everyone was most concerned about. "Mrs. Zhou, we are all well aware that Mr. Zhou had an unpleasant experience in Indonesia, and because of this, Mr. Zhou was deported from Indonesia. But in the face of this rare catastrophe, it seems that Indonesia should not be sent out of the target of assistance, even in the spirit of humanitarianism. ”

According to the instructions at the beginning of Zhou You, Yan Fangqing replied slowly: "The Zhou Foundation is not a foundation that collects donations from the public, and every penny of our money is earned by my husband himself, so we have the absolute initiative in the use of funds. Where to donate is our freedom. As for the lack of Indonesia among our aid recipients, it doesn't seem to be my problem, because we can't get into Indonesia at all. ”

Another reporter who was named stood up and asked: "Mrs. Zhou, we all know that 150 million is a lot of money, which is also in line with Mr. Zhou's personal identity, but is it Mr. Zhou's intention to exclude Indonesia from the aid target now?" ”

Yan Fangqing said: "I have just answered, because my husband is listed as an undesirable object in Indonesia, so neither my husband nor our company has carried out any business in Indonesia, nor has there been a private communication channel. Even if we donate to Indonesia, there is no channel. I hope you don't dwell on this issue anymore, next. ”

But now that everyone's interest has been aroused, there is little aid in the hardest-hit areas, where tens of millions of people are homeless, millions injured and hundreds of thousands dead. With a lack of water, electricity, food, and countless lives at any time, there is no aid in a place like this.

Especially when the first batch of fresh water and bread had already been shipped to Phuket, Thailand, the reporters who got the news were even more boiling.

An Indonesian reporter asked: "Mrs. Zhou, Thailand, which is not very badly affected, has received dozens of tons of fresh water and bread, but our people are waiting to die because of lack of food and medicine." Does this mean that your company's assistance starts with whites? We all know that the majority of tourists in Phuket are from Europe. ”

"In the face of disaster, all human lives are equal. Our first batch of supplies was delivered to Phuket in time because the local people in Phuket cleared the airport as soon as possible, and the Thai authorities also opened a green channel for our plane as soon as possible, not because of the reason you said. Before the Indonesian authorities do not remove their prejudice against us, our supplies can be delivered anywhere, but the only thing that is impossible is Indonesia, so don't get entangled in this one place. ”

By the time of the press conference, Zhou You had actually left Singapore and arrived in Pengcheng. The resources collected from Pengcheng and Yangcheng were continuously sent to the port, and the ship would set off for the Indian Ocean that evening.

Of course, larger quantities of supplies will be raised directly from Malaysia and Thailand, as they have abundant supplies and not too many affected areas, and they have enough capacity to absorb the pain.

Zhou You left Singapore because he didn't want to be on the cusp, and he knew that he would be criticized for his actions, but he didn't care.

But less than half an hour after the press conference, a call from the prime minister's office hit his phone again. The young head informed Zhou You on the phone: "There is a message from the Indonesian Presidential Office that President Susilo wants to speak to you, and I hope you can carefully consider this suggestion." ”

Yan Fangqing's decision at the press conference gave Indonesia strong public opinion pressure, and the large amount of donations traveled around the country is now not even a penny from Indonesia, which is an emergency aid worth tens of millions of dollars.

So, even Susilo couldn't sit still. He only came to power in October, and now he is facing such a dilemma. And although he is also a soldier, he does not have a close relationship with Suharto, on the contrary, he has a close relationship with Sukarno, the first president of Indonesia, and Megawati, the daughter of Sukarno, the fifth president, and both presidents are a little pro-China.

Zhou You was not very impressed by this president, but he knew that during his ten years in power in Indonesia, Indonesia's economic development was still quite fast, but the development was uneven.

At the time of his resignation, Indonesia's economy was growing rapidly, but the Gini coefficient had changed from 0.37 to 0.41, and 0.4 was the warning line for the gap between the rich and the poor.

At that time, there was also a news, Zhou You remembered more clearly, that is, the four richest men with Chinese ancestry, and the wealth of the four of them was equivalent to the total wealth of 100 million people in Indonesia, which was unprecedented and unprecedented. Because even in India, where the gap between rich and poor is at its worst, there has never been such a precedent.

However, this is a development opportunity for Zhou You...... He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, please let them contact me directly." ”
