In the past few years, China has encountered a lot of troubles, and the charter has not made any noise or wake-up. When cross-strait relations were tense to the extreme, and they were almost on the verge of breaking out, he hid even more far away.

There is no greater sorrow for the reactive than this, knowing full well that everything will happen, but not being able to do anything about it. Especially when it comes to those things at the national level, one person, even the world's richest man with great influence, can't change anything. If it weren't for the transition of power in Hong Kong, which directly involved the core interests of NB Electric, he would not even mobilize Wu Jinhua to enter politics.

But the Indonesian anti-Chinese incident left a deep impression on him, and the bloody photos made him feel extremely disgusted with the country of Indonesia, especially the two main ethnic groups in Indonesia. Therefore, in the financial turmoil, the six teams of Xinsheng Investment in Jakarta and Singapore used as much as 12.9 billion US dollars to short the Indonesian stock market, futures market and remittances.

The income of 10 billion US dollars should be collected for the Indonesian Chinese first, and it is still in the pursuit of fierce fighting.

Like the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the Indonesian Financial Supervision Department knows that the NB system is making waves, but compared with the high-profile Quantum Fund and Tiger Fund, Xinsheng Capital's funds in Indonesia are much more dispersed, and dozens of offshore registered shell companies were resurrected overnight, and nearly 100 accounts that seemed to have nothing to do with the NB system were 'operated', setting up a firewall and almost no source of hot money.

In addition, much of the money comes from the Middle East, and it is likely that anyone responsible will be traced back to members of the Saudi, Kuwaiti or Jordanian royal families. What's more, people are playing according to the rules of the parade, and they have not violated the relevant laws of Indonesia.

The economy was in shambles, and the Indonesian government could only watch him as one of the culprits. In Indonesia with Indonesian money for his company. His lab and his foundation advertise.

On the morning of November 2. Guided by a police car, four black Mercedes cars drove through the crowded and noisy streets of Jakarta for about half an hour, turning into a nondescript alleyway, where the guests of the convoy drove to the presidential palace without going through the strict security checks like tourists.

"Mr. Zhang, please inside, SGS has been waiting for you for a long time."

After visiting Gadja Mada University, University of Indonesia, Airlanga University, Bandung Institute of Technology and Bogor Agricultural University, after "generously" donating more than US$30 million. The charter received an invitation from President Suharto. Even Vice President Subbibi personally greeted him, which is not a big face.

A green meadow, the national emblem on the white building, the national flag floating on the flagpole, fresh 'flowers' and fountains, here looks particularly quiet and elegant, with a little bit of the majesty and solemn atmosphere of the highest authority.

The charter looked around, then turned around and smiled: "Mr. Vice President, please first." ”

He was very polite and modest, but he was very disdainful of the middle-aged man wearing a little black hat in front of him. He actually called Suharto "SGS", which was disgusting to the extreme. Because the entourage introduced it, SGS means "super genius Suharto".

At the same time, the future president is not a good bird, and all indications in later generations show that he is likely to be an insider or even a participant in indulging and encouraging the mob to exclude China in order to divert the people's dissatisfaction with Indonesia's maladministration. But do you really think we're going to be doomed? The place of the Chinese has been replaced. ”

Subbibi also didn't have much affection for him as an uninvited guest, but NB Electric and NB Labs were too well-known and influential in the world, and there were two Nobel Prize winners and a Pulitzer Prize winner among the entourage.

In the past few days, he has been 'dealing' with those Chinese business people, and Subbibi said with a smile in fluent English as he walked: "Mr. Zhang, you are the undisputed business leader of Hong Kong, and even took away the crown of the richest Chinese man from Mr. Lin Shaoliang a few years ago, and you must have unique insights into Southeast Asia, especially China's economy, I wonder if you can share with me your views on the financial turmoil?" ”

There is no doubt that he is insinuating that the NB system took advantage of the financial turmoil to rob the fire.

It's a pity that he was dealing with a constitution that had donated all his personal assets a few years earlier, and everyone knew that he hardly bothered to ask about the company's affairs.

"Mr. Deputy Prime Minister, you are really asking the wrong person this question, as many people know, I am more interested in science and education. However, I have great confidence in your country, especially your country's government, and despite the impact of the ongoing financial crisis, I am confident that your economy will soon recover and create a miracle that is even more amazing than the Four Little Tigers. ”

is neither humble nor arrogant, and the answer is very decent, but it is equivalent to saying nothing.

Since he came, Subi didn't want to let him go like this, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, I am also very confident, but the impact of this crisis on Indonesia is too great, if your company can increase investment in Indonesia, if Hong Kong Xinsheng Investment Co., Ltd. and NB Bank can play a more active role, I think it will be of great help to the economic recovery." ”

Indonesians are lazy, even if they have no prejudice against the Chinese, this is not a good place to invest, so NB Electric only has two complete sets of electrical factories in Indonesia and an elevator factory that is a joint venture with local Chinese with technology.

The entire market for dumped products and equipment is negligible compared to other Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam. Of course, this has something to do with the fact that its basic industry is almost blank and cannot provide supporting facilities at all.

Inviting NB Electric to invest is fake, asking Xinsheng and NB Bank to "play an active role", and stop making unscrupulous 'trouble' is true, how can the charter not hear the meaning of his words, looking back at Professor Smith and Dr. Chen Wushou who accompanied him, he smiled and said: "Mr. Vice President, I will convey these proposals on my behalf, I believe that in the near future, President William Powell and President Ruan Shaojing of Asia-Pacific Company will organize a business delegation to inspect the investment environment." ”

"I'm looking forward to seeing them there."

"I'm going to come," Charters smiled, and walked with him into a large lavishly decorated conference hall.

The group had just sat down. An old man who looked to be in his sixties. Accompanied by several officials in suits and leather shoes. striding in, he took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, and opened his body sideways like a ritual for the reporters to take pictures, his eyes were blazing, and he was 'spirited', not angry and arrogant.

The famous dictator, who died under his butcher's knife, had never been so angry as he was at this moment. I can't wait to go back now and ask the two special affairs assistants of the European company to find a few "professionals" and end his criminal life as soon as possible.

But this can only be thought about, not to mention that it is not so easy to get, even if you are very sure, you can't do it.

"Mr. Zhang, welcome."

After a group photo, the charter introduced his entourage. When the last one was introduced to Natasha, a former BNB News reporter and now the head of news at the NB Lab in Berlin, Suharto looked awe-struck and said with emotion: "Natasha 'woman', I have read your report and am very impressed with you. ”

"Mr. President. It's an honor to meet you. ”

Natasha held his hand and looked at the reporter who was clicking to take pictures. Yanran smiled and said: "It's a pity that I'm not a reporter anymore, otherwise I really want to give you an exclusive interview like those colleagues." ”

"It's a shame not to be a journalist, and if you continue to be in journalism, I think you'll definitely get more accomplished."

"Thank you."

In addition to her, the eight attachés, all from the NB Lab in Hong Kong and the NB Lab in Berlin, are among the world's top scientists in their respective fields, including the head of the group.

The composition of the membership directly determines the nature of the reception, and when you sit down, you can only talk about science and education, and in front of the senior officials of the Indonesian Ministry of Education and dozens of media reporters who accompanied Suharto, the charter vividly reflects what it means to be a scientist and a philanthropist.

He clenched his fists sideways and spoke eloquently in a language that the interpreter could keep up with: "During the visit, we noticed that there is still a big gap between your country and developed countries in terms of investment in primary and secondary education. With this in mind, the 'NB Science and Education Foundation' and the 'NB Charity and Welfare Foundation' will jointly launch a funding project for Indonesia over the next five years. Provide no less than US$20 million in scholarships and grants, provide a number of scientific and educational equipment, and provide training opportunities for some secondary and primary school teachers to help Indonesia cultivate more talents......"

Suharto nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, please allow me to express my heartfelt thanks to you for your generous donation on behalf of the Indonesian government and the Indonesian people, and if I can, I would like to sincerely invite your laboratory to cooperate fully with Zamada and other universities." ”

"It's an honor for NB Labs."

He glanced at Professor Smith and continued, "It is our tradition to cooperate with universities in Southeast Asian countries, in fact, the day before yesterday morning, my colleagues and I signed three cooperation agreements with the University of Indonesia and the University of Airlanga on behalf of the Academic Council, and Professor Smith, Director of the Center for Laboratory Chemistry, and Dr. Chen, Senior Research Fellow of the Center for Physics, even had the honor of accepting the invitation of the two presidents to be visiting professors in the Departments of Chemistry and Physics of the two universities respectively. ”

The fact that the two Nobel laureates accepted the invitation at the same time was undoubtedly a great event for Indonesia's education community, and despite the news media's coverage, Suharto thanked him again.

When talking about Xia Yao and her colleagues, who are still engaged in philanthropy in remote areas of Indonesia, caring for and helping 'women' and 'women' and children in those poor areas, Suharto gave high praise to the "NB Science and Education Foundation" and the "NB Charity and Public Welfare Foundation", and said that the husband and wife are good friends of the Indonesian people.

It's all foreign 'sex' rhetoric, nothing substantive 'sexual', and there are so many reporters staring at it, Chen Wushou is extremely boring.

As soon as he walked out of the presidential palace and got into the car rented by the NB Electric Indonesia Representative Office, he asked eagerly: "Zhang Gong, since you have that concern, why don't you mention it to him?" He is the president, and he has a responsibility and an obligation to avoid bad things from happening. ”

Huang Li'an echoed thoughtfully: "Yes, at least you can give him a warning and let him know that many people are paying attention to Indonesia." ”

The charter sighed lightly, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How can you mention what didn't happen?" What will others think when you bring it up? And more importantly, in what capacity do we mention it? What's the use of mentioning it? ”

His fears were so appalling that Professor Smith had always been skeptical, but after these days of fieldwork. He found that public opinion was very unfavorable to the Chinese in Indonesia. Especially in the propaganda of extremely exaggerated economic proportions. It is said that 3% of the Chinese account for 70% of Indonesia's economy.

In fact, in the overall economic structure, Indonesia's state-owned enterprises account for about 70%, agriculture and rural economy account for 15%, domestic 'private' enterprises account for about 10%, and foreign capital accounts for 5%. Indonesian Chinese enterprises are only a part of Indonesia's domestic 'private' enterprises, and their proportion in the overall economic structure is likely to be less than 5%.

The largest shareholders of Indonesia's billionaires, including the former richest Chinese and president of Indonesia's Asian Central Bank, Lim Shaoliang, and the famous banker Li Wenzheng, are not themselves. Rather, it is the sons and daughters of a group of high-ranking Indonesian military and political officials, including Suharto himself.

It is difficult to say whether the government will take further action, after all, the lessons of the past are there, and the Indonesian government has a bad record on this issue.

Professor Smith has been in Hong Kong for so many years, and he has many Chinese friends, although he is not a humanitarian, but he does not want tragedy to happen, and he mutters: "Chang is right to do this, you must know that he is not a democratically elected president, but a dictator with blood on his hands." When he mentions it in front of him, it is likely to backfire. ”

The driver was a native of Indonesia, and the representative office confirmed that he only spoke English.

Natasha, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had no scruples. Turning back in German, he asked, "Zhang, apart from the guidance of public opinion, what judgments are your worries based on?" ”

"National Psychology."

After pondering for a moment, he patiently explained: "As we have learned, the formation of national psychology is often related to geography. In general, people living in cold regions tend to be more serious and deep, while those living in the tropics are relatively lazy and easily satisfied.

Chinese civilization belongs to the agricultural civilization, relying on the 'spring' sowing and autumn harvest, 'intensive' farming, so the Chinese believe in planting melons to get melons, planting beans to get beans, and valuing hard work to get rich, which can be used as a perspective to interpret the emotions of the Indonesian people. ”

Knowing that she didn't know much about the Chinese, Chen Wushou pointed to a group of Indonesians sitting on the side of the road chatting, adding: "Indonesia has fertile soil, abundant rainfall, abundant resources, and summer all year round. Here, you can pick a papaya to satisfy your stomach, and you can wear a single coat; The cost of living is extremely low, and people do not need to work hard to obtain survival security, resulting in very few Indonesians have the spirit of pioneering and enterprising.

In addition, due to the long period of colonial rule, the national education was relatively backward. For the Chinese who are known for their hard work, this is really a paradise for entrepreneurs. They are willing to endure hardships, can do business, are educated, and understand English, so many Indonesian Chinese have achieved good results. Indonesia is also a country with a considerable gap between the rich and the poor, and it is extremely common for a Chinese family to hire ten Indonesian maids. In this case, the hatred of the rich will inevitably evolve into a ** mentality. ”

Natasha seemed to understand whether she understood or not, and the charter took over: "In addition, Indonesia's ** psychology has a certain relationship with religion. As the country with the highest number of MSLs in the world, more than 88% of Indonesians believe in Islan. Compared to Buddhism, Islam is more 'radical'. In Thailand, while a minority of Chinese ethnic minority also controls a great deal of wealth, the attitude of Thais towards the Chinese is much more modest. ”

"Zhang, are you saying that all this is inevitable?"

"That's why I'm asking a few of you to help with this."

Professor Smith is proud to be a member of the "Charity Group" and a member of the board of directors of the "NB Science and Education Foundation".

Looking at the worried appearance of the charter, thinking of his compatriots who didn't need to worry about it at all, he said solemnly: "The fate of overseas ethnic minorities is often related to the strength and weakness of their 'mother country'. The tragic experience of overseas Chinese in the past 100 years is closely related to China's weakness. In the long run, the well-being of the Chinese diaspora, especially in Southeast Asia, who have been persecuted, cannot but be linked to the strong development of China itself. ”

"Yes, as a Chinese, I very much hope that China can be strong, but for those well-known reasons, I have to distance myself from BJ, so in recent years I have often thought, why make so much money?"

In the past, he always stayed abroad, and when he returned to Hong Kong and China, it was like visiting relatives, and Professor Smith did not understand this. As Western countries made things difficult for NB Electric again and again, and NB Electric got lucky again and again, he realized that it was not easy for the young man around him to donate all his assets.

Thinking of the big acquisition some time ago, which caused so much controversy, he comforted: "Zhang, time will tell, you don't need to worry about it at all." ”

"I hope so." The charter sighed again, held the back of the co-pilot's seat and said with a wry smile: "At least now no one says that NB Electric has a Chinese-funded background." ”

After experiencing an "oolong incident", Chen Wushou knows better than anyone how difficult this "home" is, and said with emotion: "I always thought that doing research is doing research, and doing business is doing business, as long as you do your duty, there will be no trouble, in fact, it is not, if you don't go to find trouble, trouble will also come to you, especially when the company and the laboratory have developed to this extent, many things can't be hidden." ”,
