"China Touched the Kra Canal, Star Island Suddenly Became an Island"!

"Chinese industrial giants warn Singapore not to play with fire**"!

"The Sorrow of the Island Country"!

"Wrath of the Great Power"!

……

Overnight, the front pages of Singapore's major newspapers were flooded with these sensational headlines. Meanwhile, Singapore's Straits Times stock index fell sharply, triggering a frenzy of market sell-offs. In response to the decline in the stock market, the real estate market has entered a harsh winter. In addition, the multinationals who had planned to invest in the expansion of the factory did not hesitate to withdraw their wallets.

If the Kra Canal is the sword of Damocles on Singapore's head, then yesterday's press conference officially cut the thread that holds the sword. The sword was falling rapidly, and in a small country like Singapore, there was not even the slightest room to dodge.

Angry citizens organized a massive march to protest against the so-called "Chinese imperialism". Phrases such as "Same Language, Same Species" and "Brother Xiao Wall" were written on the banners in huge Chinese characters, and the streets abounded. I don't know how these people got a huge portrait of Lin Zhenhua, and after a lot of ugliness, they painted red crosses and the like on their faces, and then they were carried to the street and burned to vent their righteous indignation. Lin Zhenhua can be regarded as enjoying the troubles of celebrities.

Politicians were also panicked, and Singapore's prime minister immediately made an urgent appointment with the Chinese ambassador to Singapore to ask whether Lin Zhenhua's statement came from the Chinese government's instructions. Naturally, the Chinese ambassador gave a negative answer to this, saying that this is just an entrepreneur's personal opinion, and the friendship between China and New Zealand is ...... What, it's still evergreen and immortal.

The channels of businessmen are more extensive, and those who have had business contact with Lin Zhenhua called Lin Zhenhua's mobile phone directly, and the words are euphemistically persuading Lin Zhenhua to give up his original intention, "Everyone is a good friend, everything is easy to discuss"; Those who can't talk to Lin Zhenhua. I also found my partners in China, asked them to show their goodwill, and swore that they were willing to become a bridge of friendship between China and New Zealand.

Compared with the grammar of "you Chinese" that Lin Zhenhua frequently heard a few days ago, the most popular saying in Singapore now has become "everyone is Chinese".

"What did you do earlier! Now thinking that I am Chinese? Lin Zhenhua looked at the newspaper he bought on the street and said to Chen Tian happily. There are also a lot of articles attacking Lin Zhenhua himself in the newspaper, but Lin Zhenhua doesn't care at all, being able to be scolded is also a status symbol.

Chen Tian said with a bitter face: "I said Mr. Lin." You're happy, you know how much pressure we're under? In particular, your statement that it is a big country and a small country has caused great passivity in our diplomacy, so you should wait to return to China and be criticized. ”

Lin Zhenhua pouted and said, "What does diplomacy concern me?" I'm just a regular business owner and I have freedom of speech. It's good that the state doesn't recognize what I say as representing the will of the country, and Singapore is said to be a democracy. Isn't it okay for a business owner to say something that interests him? ”

"You're going to stab me in the hole." Chen Tian said hatefully, "If I knew this was the case, I wouldn't have taken you out." ”

Lin Zhenhua smiled: "Hehe, if you don't take me out, won't I come out by myself?" The Kra Canal is an international bidding project, and we Hanhua Heavy Industries are interested in investing, but the state can't control it, right? Besides, if you don't invest, it's still two words. I'm just expressing my interest. In this world, I feel that there are many things that I am interested in. ”

Chen Tiandao: "If you fancy any big girl or little daughter-in-law and intend to develop some intimate relationships with others, I don't bother to interfere with you." But your current intention has directly smashed the Singapore stock market, and throughout the ages, whose intention is more lethal than your intention? ”…,

"Well deserved." Lin Zhenhua said, "I have already given them a chance, if 10 days ago." They can give me a good look. Say a few soft words, and I won't do this. Now. It's late. ”

"What, Zhenhua, do you really plan to invest in the Kra Canal?" Chen Tian put away his ridiculous look and asked seriously.

Lin Zhenhua nodded and said, "That's right, the researchers of our company have made a preliminary calculation and believe that it is profitable to invest in the Kra Canal. In recent years, the Strait of Malacca has been seriously silted, the shipping channel has become shallower and shallower, and the navigation capacity has been declining. Coupled with the rampant piracy of the sea, and the interference of ferries and fishing boats on the sea, many shipping companies are full of resentment about this shipping lane. In this case, the construction of the Kra Canal will definitely attract a large number of ships to pass, and the cost of passage alone will be enough to recoup the investment. ”

"But will Hanhua be able to raise so much money?" Chen Tian asked, "The investment in the entire canal needs 20 billion US dollars, and if you want to control it, you must raise at least 10 billion yuan. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "The figure of 20 billion is just a lion's mouth. The entire canal is 100 kilometers long, and the average cost per kilometer is 200 million US dollars. The labor cost in Thailand is not higher than that in China.

In China, half of the cost of a project like this is spent on land acquisition and demolition. I discussed it with Jirathorn, and he said that the problem of land acquisition and demolition can be solved by the Thai government, and after the canal is completed, the value of the land along the river will greatly appreciate, which is also beneficial to the local people, so the difficulty of land acquisition will not be too great.

In this way, we estimate that the investment of the entire project can be completely controlled within 10 billion US dollars, we will raise about 6 billion in the country, and the Thai government will solve about 4 billion yuan through financial and international financing to complete the canal. ”

Chen Tiandao: "How do you plan to raise this 6 billion?" 6 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to 50 billion yuan, which bank may give you so many loans? ”

"We can raise money from the private sector." Lin Zhenhua said, "In the past two days, I have called and talked to some entrepreneurs in China, and they have all expressed interest in this project. Have you heard of Qi Zhongmou? He alone expressed his willingness to come up with 1 billion yuan, and said that this was just a trivial matter. ”

Qi Zhongmou started from a small business, developed to go to Russia to dump planes, has accumulated wealth over the years, and his net worth has reached 10 billion, and he is also a well-known successful person in China, Chen Tian has naturally heard of him. Not only has he heard of it, but Chen Tian also knows that the first pot of gold that Qi Zhongmou started was dug up by Lin Zhenhua for him, so Qi Zhongmou's personal relationship with Lin Zhenhua has always been very good, and he has always trusted Lin Zhenhua's business vision. Lin Zhenhua is optimistic about things, pull Qi Zhongmou to buy shares, Qi Zhongmou will definitely not refuse.

"Lao Qi was moved by what you said, it is estimated that the two fat sheep of Yanzi and Xiong Lijun, you also have to slaughter a knife, right?" Chen Tian asked with a smile. His wife Qi Yue is now the major shareholder of Jiankang Household Appliances, and if Lin Zhenhua wants to raise funds from Jiankang Household Appliances, Qi Yue will definitely know, but Chen Tian still can't bother to ask about it.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Yanzi and Xiong Lijun are also interested in this matter, and they also hope to diversify their business to avoid risks in the home appliance market." However, the exact amount of capital contribution will have to be discussed after I return to China. In addition to them, I also plan to open up fundraising to the society, and now there is a lot of idle capital in the private sector, and there are no investment channels. The Kra Canal, guaranteed by the Thai government, is a relatively good project. ”

Chen Tiandao: "Zhenhua, why do I think that you are illegally fundraising?" Do you know how many years you should be sentenced for illegally raising 500 billion? ..., Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "Illegal and legal, isn't the difference between a country's authorization?" It's impossible for the state not to support such a big thing, right? After I returned to China, I planned to talk to someone from the Planning Commission and get a legal license. ”

Chen Tiandao: "Zhenhua, if I were you, I wouldn't go to the people of the Planning Commission." ”

"Why?" Lin Zhenhua asked strangely.

"I suggest that you deal with it in a low-key manner after returning to China and stay in Xunyang steadily. I can guarantee that within two weeks, Huang Gang will definitely fly to Xunyang to beg you to come out of the mountain to do this. At that time, whatever price you offer, the Planning Commission will have to agree. Chen Tian smiled and uncovered the mystery.

"Haha, I see." Lin Zhenhua laughed knowingly.

Chen Tian's words could not be clearer: on the Kra Canal incident, the state's various statements are just for international public opinion, and in fact, the state also hopes to solve the predicament of Malacca by digging the Kra Canal. Thailand is the biggest beneficiary of the Kra Canal project, and it is impossible for Thailand not to reciprocate the favor and make some goodwill when the country gives such a big cake to Thailand. China and Thailand are neighbors, and Thailand is a regional power in Southeast Asia, and the benefits that countries can derive from such cooperation are by no means comparable to the cost of a canal.

Due to international political considerations, it is inconvenient for the state to directly intervene in the Kra Canal project, and now Lin Zhenhua has come forward, which is exactly what is unwanted. As Chen Tian said, Lin Zhenhua should be waiting for the rabbit at this time, waiting for the country to ask for the head, what price to offer, shouldn't the country also have to agree?

"In this way, our trip to Singapore can be regarded as a complete merit, can we leave for China?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Chen Tiandao: "I can only say that you have completed your merits, and after I go back, I can't avoid writing and checking." In any case, many of your remarks have really crossed the line. ”

"Chen Ju, I'm really sorry, I've bothered you." Lin Zhenhua said.

Chen Tiandao: "Is it too late for you to say that it is even tired?" When you say those radical remarks, why don't you think about the things that affect me? …… But, to be honest, I like what you say. ”
