Chapter Ninety-Three: Return to Indonesia

(Thank you to Brother *GGQ* for your tip, thank you Brother for your consistent support.) Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info)

After nine years, I went to Indonesia again, and I made full preparations for my trip. The original 12-member secretary team was reduced to six, but the original 16-member bodyguard team was increased to 24.

Together with the tour's entourage, business consultants, a team of lawyers, a financial team, and a four-person liaison team sent by the Singapore government, the tour included more than 50 people.

Yan Fangqing did not accompany her because of her big belly, but Gracia flew back from South America to complete the unfinished trip to Bali nine years ago with Zhou You.

Speaking of which, Paris and Gracia both established a relationship with Zhou You in Indonesia, Gracia wanted to calculate and travel, but was conquered by Zhou You in the end, and Paris not only collaborated with Zhou You to kill people here, but also dedicated the first night to Zhou You here.

On this trip to Indonesia, I will visit three places. First go to Jakarta to meet with the leaders of the Indonesian government, then to Semarang to meet with the Pan family and the Chinese community, and finally to Bali, where I will accompany my two wives to Bali for two days.

If an agreement is reached with the Indonesian side, it will return to Jakarta to sign the agreement, and if no agreement is reached, it will return directly to Singapore.

It only takes an hour to fly to Jakarta, so Zhou You didn't go into his room to rest, and after greeting a few government officials, he took them into the conference room when the plane took off.

Before arriving in Jakarta, you should familiarize yourself with the procedures for meeting with Indonesian officials, otherwise it would be a shame to make some diplomatic jokes.

The plane soon landed at Jakarta's Hatta International Airport, where a group of government officials, led by Indonesian Vice President Budiyono, were already waiting. With the exception of Budiyono, almost all sectors of Indonesia's economy are led by ministers themselves.

The huge Airbus 380 slowly stopped on the designated tarmac, and a suspension truck quickly stopped under the plane. The hatch opened, and Paris was the first to appear on top of the ladder with Zhou You's arm, followed by Gracia, who had lost the bet and gave up his place next to Zhou You.

But she didn't feel too lost, because it was her father Volando Sr. who was holding her arm.

Because of the win over Gracia, Paris looked radiant and had been pressed by Gracia, and this was the first time she had won against Gracia, or at such a dazzling moment.

Slowly walking down the hanging ladder, Zhou You and Budiyono and his party began to shake hands one by one, there were many people on both sides, and it took at least half an hour to introduce each other.

The bodyguards left only a few to guard the perimeter, and the others were busy transporting their cars off the plane, and when they had finished greeting Budiyono and the others, they boarded the car hand in hand.

The bulletproof minibus can accommodate twelve people, and Zhou You's two wives, the elder Volando, as well as Ma Hongtao and Liang Silin, the head of the risk control department, boarded the car.

On the Indonesian side, Budiyono, Minister of Mines, Minister of Economy, Governor of the Central Bank, Minister of Trade, Minister of Industry, boarded the car.

On the way to the presidential palace, the two sides did not discuss any profound topics, Budiyono has always focused on the long-standing historical relationship between the Chinese and Indonesia, and the relationship between Zhou and La.

At the beginning of Susilo's tenure, Budiyono was appointed Minister of Economy and later as Governor of the Central Bank. Budiyono has overhauled Bank Indonesia because the public resents corruption in the banks and is deeply unhappy with the central bank's policies that have led to higher inflation and food prices.

His decisive actions and strong measures have earned him a reputation as the ideal central banker. He performed so well during last year's financial crisis that he was appointed vice president by Susilo at the end of the year.

This is an economic expert-style professional and technical official, and he is deeply valued by Susilo. Zhou You has always attached great importance to capable people, so the two sides also talked happily.

The Indonesian Presidential Palace is located on the north side of Merdeka Square, which is also the central area of Jakarta, and on the south side of the square is the place where Zhou Yu stayed in Jakarta this time, and it is also the Conrad Hotel where Zhou You and Paris spent their first night.

The long convoy arrived at the presidential palace under the command of the traffic police, and although Jakarta is known as the most congested city in Asia, the convoy traveled very smoothly due to road closures.

Indonesia's presidential palace is a white hall building, which looks like a miniature version of the Great Hall of the People from the outside, but because it is much smaller, it looks inconspicuous at all.

The convoy was divided into two teams at the entrance of the Presidential Palace, half of the cars followed the Indonesian convoy into the Presidential Palace, and the remaining cars went directly to the hotel to arrange accommodation for the night of the tour.

President Susilo is not tall and has a dark complexion, but because he comes from a military family, he looks very majestic, and he is more trustworthy than Suharto, who is a smiling tiger.

He waited at the door of the presidential palace, and before Zhou You had time to get off the bus, he had already greeted him, and his attitude was very modest. Although Zhou You's impression of Indonesia has always been bad, it is still quite useful to see his style.

This time, only a few important people were introduced to each other, but because they had to appear in front of the media and pose for some poses, the greeting ceremony lasted about 20 minutes before it ended.

Witnessed by dozens of news media, the two sides entered the presidential palace side by side, and the atmosphere was warm but not steady.

In the No. 1 Reception Hall of the Presidential Palace, important figures from both sides sat down in turn along two rows of sofas. Zhou You was tied with President Susillo, and his subordinates sat Gracia, then Volando, and as for Paris, she would not like such a meeting, and when she entered the hall, she was arranged to visit the presidential palace.

In front of the media, the conversation between the two sides was more formulaic, Susilo first welcomed the arrival of Zhou You, expressed his admiration for Zhou You's development over the years, expressed support for the development of Tmall in Indonesia, and expressed his appreciation for the Chinese in promoting the Indonesian economy.

Zhou You also expressed his honor to Indonesia's high-level reception and congratulated Indonesia on its response to the financial crisis.

Zhou You highlighted Presidential Decree No. 4, which he signed, expressed his sincere gratitude for the repeal of Presidential Decree No. 6 of 1967, and expressed his gratitude to President Susilo in his personal capacity.

In such a "friendly" atmosphere, he also personally donated US$10 million to the flood-stricken areas in the western part of Java to help the affected farmers there resume production.

Just before his trip to Indonesia, the Semarang and Surabaya regions in the western part of Java were hit by major flooding, with local farmers severely affected. And the large local growers, mainly Chinese, would not have been able to donate money if it weren't for this.

Later, the reporters began to leave the scene, leaving only two media outlets, one is Indonesia's national television and the other is the propaganda department of his company. The content of the subsequent meeting will be selectively revealed to the outside world.

At first, Zhou You thought that Indonesia wanted to replicate his development experience in South America and Africa, but after the young master's explanation, he understood Susilo's true thoughts.

Relying on one's own fame to attract more Chinese to return to Indonesia, or to give up the suppression of the Chinese, this is a good signal. At this time, Zhou You did not think of fighting for more rights and interests for himself, but stood in the position of the Chinese and fought for more rights and interests for the Chinese.

In fact, the Chinese are bullied in Southeast Asia, and it cannot be said that there is no responsibility for the Chinese.

Throughout Southeast Asia, whether it is Indonesia, the Philippines, or Malaysia, most of the economy is controlled by the Chinese. The richest people in Southeast Asian countries also account for the vast majority of the positions.

You don't have great strength, but you have countless wealth, how can you not be rebelled and cut wool?

Even in today's Indonesia, most of the country's economy is still controlled by a small number of Chinese. Some rich people who don't have to rely on Indonesian resources have indeed run away, but there are also many Chinese billionaires, because they rely on Indonesia for development, of course, they will not leave, and they still control Indonesia's economy.

For example, those plantation owners, those retailers, those bankers, those tobacco merchants, they not only need Indonesia's manpower and resources, but also the Indonesian market, and to give up Indonesia is to give up everything. As long as it's not life and death, you won't leave at any time.

Why did he want to grow his own security company? Now is it even more necessary to develop military strength? The main thing is to have the strength to ensure your own safety. Now, he has the strength to protect himself, and of course he wants to expand the scope of protection a little.

If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world. Zhou You is not so fratern, what sense of responsibility does he have for the world, but he can still protect more Chinese who are of the same ancestors as himself.

The reporter went out, and the next meeting was mainly for Indonesia's various government ministers to start some work reports and introduce some basic information about various industries in Indonesia to Zhou You.

They not only made detailed statistics on their own situation, but also on the situation of travel, fully compared the situation in Indonesia with the advantages of travel, and pointed out the possibility of cooperation between the two sides in each field.

It is relatively easy for a country to investigate the circumstances of travel. Zhouyou's financial resources, including channel advantages, have become the envy of the world's large trusts.

Under his name, there are shares in eleven banks, and these eleven banks, with assets under management of more than thirty trillion dollars, is twice the GDP of the United States.

Although Zhou You has no management over these wealth, it can affect the flow of funds, which Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke is not comparable to.

As for the World Monetary Fund, the leaders of the World Bank are even more constrained by power, and they are even less able to compare with Zhou You.

He was named the most powerful man in the world for two years in a row, and his stake in these banks played a decisive role, and there was no leader who had such a huge influence as Zhou You.

In addition to money, the breadth of travel is also the envy of the leaders of every country.

Asia, America, Africa, Europe, the tentacles of travel have reached any corner of the world. Asia is his home base, but because the United States, as the squad leader, has been isolating the deputy squad leader who challenges them, Zhou You deliberately avoided this whirlpool.

Although most of his industry is in these two countries, between these two countries, Zhou Yu has always been outside, no one is close, and no one is offended.

In Europe, Zhou You is now politically supported by many countries such as Spain, France and Germany, and even the United Kingdom is now very close to Zhou You.

In South America, although the ABC Three Countries only had general business cooperation, they almost controlled the other five major countries except them, and the business circle in South America developed rapidly from the backwardness of the past.

Because of the support and recognition of the people, in South America, Zhou You has the highest popularity and respect, and almost all of South America has become Zhou You's sphere of influence.

In Africa, although Zhou traveled a little later and had fewer countries with economic influence, with the help of the development of mainland enterprises in Africa, his security company has formed a huge net in Africa, with more than 30,000 heavily armed security guards, even in the whole of Africa, it is also a large force.

Now, relying on the establishment of the military service company, the force value of Zhou You has been increased by a level, and ordinary small countries and forces do not dare to touch his tiger whiskers at all.

Of course, these are not his most terrifying places, his most terrifying places are that he relies on banks to support industry, relies on leading resource enterprises in the mainland to take the lead, relies on small enterprises in Europe to provide processing capacity in the midstream, relies on the development of manpower and service industries in resource countries, and then jointly develops the market, forming a complete economic ecosystem.

His development has no national boundaries and crosses the limits of national borders, which makes this trust burst out with unimaginable power.

Some politicians in the United States simply hate the existence of Zhou You, but why don't they just touch Zhou You? This is because Zhou Yu already has the support of Europe, and if they take action against Zhou You, the whole of Europe will not agree.

What's more, none of their opinions are unified in the country. Because in the United States, there are countless politicians who are on the side of Zhou You.

Although he has robbed many American companies of investment opportunities in South America, the anti-American tide there is already in full swing, and this is not the main reason for his travels, but he has only filled the gap of American companies.

Zhou You has also made large investments in the United States and formed alliances with many interest groups, so Americans also have a sense of helplessness on the issue of Zhou You.

With such a big force, Zhou You has become the pride of the Chinese and has a high reputation in the Chinese circle. If Indonesia can reach a cooperation intention with Zhou You, it can drive countless Chinese to revitalize Indonesia's economy!
