658 Gila tent that took advantage of the fire to rob

Chen Tian completed his investigation in Singapore and obtained a large amount of first-hand information, so he decided to leave for China. n.et said that the network / no pop-up advertising full text TXT download Lin Zhenhua was originally accompanied to make soy sauce, and naturally returned with Chen Tian. In the past, every time he came to Singapore, he had to stop by to develop some business, at least to visit some important companies and government officials, but this time, he was a little discouraged and avoided this link.

Two people packed their luggage, one pulled a trolley suitcase, came to the hotel lobby, ready to check out and leave. While waiting, a guest who was also going through the check-out procedures turned around by chance, saw Lin Zhenhua, and immediately came over with a smile, stretched out his arms, and planned to give Lin Zhenhua a bear hug.

"Mr. Lin, it's such a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here." The man spoke English and shouted to Lin Zhenhua.

"Mr. Gilapon?" Lin Zhenhua also recognized the other party, hurriedly stepped forward, hugged the other party, shook hands warmly, and asked, "Old friend, should I call you the director or the minister now?" ”

In front of him, it turned out to be Lin Zhenhua in Thailand to know the government official Jila Peng, when Lin Zhenhua looked for Jila Peng to sell large fertilizer equipment, he was still just a director, and later because of his political achievements and continued to be promoted, two years ago Lin Zhenhua heard that he had become the director, is attacking the minister's throne. What is not enough for outsiders is that Jirapeng's promotion has something to do with Lin Zhenhua's overt or covert support, which also makes Jirapun quite close to Lin Zhenhua.

"It's coming, it's coming." Jirathorn pretended to be a little mysterious, and whispered, "If nothing changes, it is estimated that at the beginning of next year, I will have the hope of becoming the chief minister, and I am still the deputy." ”

"Congratulations, when the time comes, I will definitely go to congratulate Minister Jiraphon and give him a big gift." Lin Zhenhua said.

"Then I'll thank you in advance, I know that Mr. Lin has always been very generous in giving gifts." Gilapon said unabashedly.

Lin Zhenhua was the first to cooperate with Jiratun, and he used bribes to open the way. In the following ten years of cooperation, Jilarpong received a lot of kickbacks from Lin Zhenhua and Hanhua's business representatives, some of which he used as capital to bribe his bosses, which is one of the reasons why he was able to continue to rise.

However, as Jiraton's position became higher and higher, his pursuit of political achievements increasingly exceeded the pursuit of money, and the great gift that Lin Zhenhua told him actually meant to help him do some projects that could become political achievements, and as for how much economic benefits Jirapun could get from the project, it was not within the scope of their discussion. It is precisely because of this that Jila tent can generously claim to thank Lin Zhenhua for his gift in public.

After the greetings, Lin Zhenhua introduced Chen Tian to Jilapun, but he did not reveal Chen Tian's true identity, but said that Chen Tian was an executive of a large trading company and was his good friend. Ji Rapeng's small eyes looked Chen Tian up and down, and he already had a number in his heart. Chen Tian's temperament really doesn't look like a businessman. If it is a businessman, it must be a more successful one than Lin Zhenhua, but there don't seem to be a few such people in China, right?

Ji Rapong was very clever not to express his doubts, he shook hands with Chen Tian, and then asked the two of them:

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Chen, are you here to Singapore this time for any business? It turns out that you have been staying in this hotel all along, and I stayed here for three days and I didn't even run into you. Lin Zhenhua saw that there were no other idlers around, so he whispered: "Alas, don't hide it from Minister Jirapeng, we are here this time purely because Singapore is looking for trouble with China, have you ever heard that there is a group of politicians in Singapore who are threatening to block the Strait of Malacca and trap China in the South China Sea. Do you think, more than half of our Hanhua Heavy Industries' export products have to go through the Strait of Malacca, and Singapore is engaged in such a hand, isn't it a pit for our Hanhua? ”

"Is there such a thing?" Jirapong was dumbfounded, "This is too vicious, isn't it?" Also, is this a violation of international rules? ”

"Of course, it is a violation of international rules. Of course, now they are just talking, and they haven't put it into practice yet. Lin Zhenhua said that what he just said was also a bit exaggerated, Singapore only threatened to blockade Chinese warships, and did not involve merchant ships.

Jirapun nodded and said, "Well, I've heard a thing or two about what you said. By the way, I came to Singapore this time to attend the meeting of the 10 ASEAN commerce ministers, and at the meeting, Singapore's commerce officials also expressed the intention of uniting ASEAN countries to resist China's forces. ”

"It's a boycott of ASEAN's 10 plus 1 plan, right?" Chen Tian interjected lightly on the side.

ASEAN 10 plus 1 refers to a plan to establish a free trade area between the 10 ASEAN countries and China, ASEAN is a total of 10 countries, plus China, is the concept of "10 plus 1". This plan was put forward by China to strengthen economic and trade exchanges between China and ASEAN, which can be regarded as a win-win plan. At this time, this plan has just been proposed, and ASEAN countries are also discussing it, and what Jirapong said should be referring to Singapore's opposition to this plan.

ASEAN is not monolithic, and Chen Tian was certainly able to learn about news like this at the first time.

"It's crazy." Lin Zhenhua muttered, "ASEAN ten plus one is not only beneficial to China, but also to ASEAN countries. China is a huge market, and Europe and the United States want to squeeze into this market with their brains, and ASEAN will be really foolish if it refuses to establish a free trade area with China. ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Gila Tent agrees. In recent years, Thailand has purchased a lot of machinery and equipment from China, and has also exported a large number of agricultural products and electronic products to China, and has also attracted a large number of Chinese to travel to Thailand, creating a lot of so-called "green income", which has been recorded in the list of achievements of Jirapong. He is a person who has a positive attitude towards a free trade relationship with China.

"In ASEAN, apart from Singapore, other countries are very interested in ten plus one. ASEAN's industries are complementary to China's, such as the Philippines, which can feed hundreds of thousands of people just by selling bananas to Chinese mainland, how can they oppose ten plus one? Jila Peng showed an indignant look, the emotions in it were true and false, and the fake part was naturally to please Lin Zhenhua.

"We are here to do the work of Singapore's political and business circles, so that they can give up this policy orientation that harms others and is not beneficial to themselves. It's a pity that we have come full circle, and we have not found anyone willing to cooperate with us, and it seems that this country is determined to oppose China from top to bottom. Lin Zhenhua said.

Jirapeng had a sympathetic look on his face, but he secretly said that he was cool in his heart. The ten ASEAN countries are both partners and competitors, Singapore has a developed economy, and there are often rich people on the shelves in ASEAN.

"Mr. Lin, didn't you get nothing on this trip?" Gila asked, adding fuel to the fire. "Isn't it?" Lin Zhenhua said, "However, it is also a surprise to be able to meet Minister Jirapeng before leaving." I know that Minister Kirapong has always been a good friend of our Chinese people, and the Thai people are also good friends of our Chinese people. ”

Jirapeng's face smiled as brightly as a dog's tail flower, and he said, "Mr. Lin, you said this very well. Regardless of Singapore's attitude towards China, we in Thailand and China are definitely friendly neighbors. At all times, we will be on China's side. ”

Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "It's a pity, if the Strait of Malacca were in Thailand, we don't have to worry about it." Minister Kirapon, can you go back and let the historians verify that the Malay Peninsula has been completely Thai since ancient times, and you can simply send troops to recover Singapore? ”

"Joked, joked." Ji Lapong hurriedly waved his hand, Lin Zhenhua can talk nonsense, as a government official, he would not dare to say this, otherwise it will cause international disputes. However, Lin Zhenhua's previous sentence touched the heart of Jiratong, he smiled gloomily and said in a low voice: "Mr. Lin, in fact, the Strait of Malacca is not as important as imagined, I think that if Singapore really falls out with you China, your ship can not go through the Strait of Malacca at all." ”

"Don't go through the Strait of Malacca? Shall we take a detour through the Sunda Strait? Lin Zhenhua asked. His geographical knowledge is not very good, but as the CEO of a group company with a large number of overseas operations, he still has some understanding of the distribution of international routes. From the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean, if you don't go to Malacca, you can also take a detour through the Sunda Strait or the Lombok Strait, both of which are between several large islands in Indonesia. Taking these two routes is thousands of kilometers longer than taking the Strait of Malacca, which will lead to an increase in freight costs.

In fact, due to the insufficient water depth in the Strait of Malacca, large oil tankers of more than 250,000 tons are indeed detoured in this way, but it is more economical for oil tankers and cargo ships below this tonnage to go through the Strait of Malacca.

Jirapeng shook his head: "If you take the Sunda Strait, you will take a detour, and you can't match it in terms of time and freight." I mean, China is now a big maritime country, and with so many ships going to the Indian Ocean every year, is it time to consider investing in the Kra Isthmus Canal? ”

"Kra Isthmus? What do you mean? Lin Zhenhua was confused.

Chen Tian, who was standing beside Lin Zhenhua, grinned, and Ji Rapeng's words made Chen Tian couldn't help but look at him with admiration: This old fox really has the ability to rob while the fire is hot.
