Located in the island's most prosperous financial centre, Shenton Road is close to the estuary of the Singapore River, with skyscrapers and many of the world's largest corporations. Ant Search is now a partner of the three major football federations, and it is impossible to squat in the old factory converted into a workshop like an ordinary start-up, which is already in the past tense.

Not only is there the famous Merlion Park, but also the bustling Singapore Harbour, where the British first set foot on the land, and where a statue of Sir Raffles still stands.

"Upstairs across the river is Google's Asia headquarters, which we moved in a month before we did." Feng Cheng pointed to a modern building and said to Chen Bo.

"With us, Southeast Asia can't fall into their hands, let's talk about the current situation of the Singapore market." Ant Search did not choose to rent a luxurious building, but directly bought a 19-story building built in the 80s, and now only two of the floors have just been renovated, which is temporarily enough for employees.

Since you are here, you must have a corresponding high profile, otherwise it will not be an ant search, the billboard on the roof of the building has been erected, and at night you can see the fiery red ants stretching their proud tentacles, as if receiving signals from outer space.

"Yes, Singapore is the right place." Feng Cheng has only been here for two months, and he has already touched the same. "Don't look at the economy here, but Internet startups are very rare."

"Why? Nanyang Polytechnic and National University are not bad qualifications, right? Chen Bo was stunned.

"One is that Singaporeans are not keen on the Internet, and a rent at home is enough for them to live, much like Hong Kong Island. The university is also full of foreigners, and Singapore citizenship is not easy to apply, so it is not easy. The second is the difficulty of financing, although the financial industry here is developed, but few venture capitalists will choose to invest in companies here, even if you have a good idea, you will be persuaded to develop in Silicon Valley before you are willing to give money, so it leads to the lack of interest of Internet entrepreneurs. ”

"I heard that the Singapore government has relevant support policies?"

"Yes, last year the profits tax was reduced from 22% to 15% for foreign investors. In a year, more than 900 companies choose to set up their Asia-Pacific headquarters, mainly American companies. Moreover, the government has also realized that it cannot rely on tourism and ports alone, and has put forward the slogan of building the 'Silicon Valley' of the East, and the IT companies that come to invest can reduce by another 5%-8% on this basis. ”

Since the success of Silicon Valley, almost every country has put forward a similar slogan, like a carp crossing a river, and in the end, it can be said that no one can really challenge Silicon Valley. Time, location, people and people are indispensable, and it is not necessary to have good policies to produce good enterprises.

Hong Kong Island was also known as a science and technology island, but they have been kidnapped by finance and real estate, and it will be difficult to turn around when the ship is bigger.

"What about the basics?"

"The internet speed is certainly not as fast as in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Japan, but it is faster than in China. As far as the market environment is concerned, there is a lot to be done. ”

"How's the opponent?"

"Google now has a market share of about 22%, Yahoo 10%, and the rest is 68%." When it comes to the development of the Southeast Asian market, he has always spared no effort to support, and the attention has been very high, this is the back garden in addition to the mainland, and there is absolutely no room for error, and the current results are obvious, so that Google can't help but come to this central city one step ahead of schedule.

"I'm afraid in a few days, someone will come to me for tea." Chen Bo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and he could see the merchant ships stretching on the sea through the buildings on both sides, if it was at the beginning of the last century, it would definitely be a scene of a thousand sails racing, but now they have been replaced by modern iron-hulled ships, and the white sails can no longer be seen.

"Tea? What tea. Feng Cheng was slightly puzzled.

"Of course, it is his Li family's tea, with a market share of 68%, which has already constituted a monopoly condition, although the Internet is an emerging industry, and the legislation has not fully kept up. But as long as you have a little brain, you won't sit idly by. Chen Bo's worries are not unfounded, Singapore is an extremely strictly regulated society, and it is illegal to gather more than five people, so it is not difficult to imagine what will happen in the future.

They are all Chinese, what difference can there be between those black-bellied methods? Since Lee Kuan Yew came to power, he has brought the political ideas left by his ancestors to the extreme, and he has been able to exchange for today's Singapore.

After learning about some other simple situations, Chen Bo went back to the hotel, the situation here seems to be very beautiful, I don't know what moths are behind it, or recuperate and wait and see.

Trupp's company runs the hotel project, which also affects Ivanka, who will first discuss each hotel, and then find out the differences of her own hotel, and record them one by one in her own small book, so as to facilitate her own work in the future.

"The scenery here is really good, I wonder if it is the same in China?" Elegantly holding a glass of red wine, wandering in the balcony of the guest room, looking at the night view of Merlion Park at her feet, Ivanka looked at her beloved lover drunkenly.

"Of course it's different, this is a developed area, and I'm very poor." Chen Bo shook his head, there are few places that can be compared with this, even Pengcheng's planning is unreasonable.

"I don't believe it." Ivan Ka stretched out a long leg against the sky from her nightdress, put it on Chen Bo's body and slowly swept it, a mouthful of silver teeth bit her candy-colored lower lip, stretched out her index finger and hooked her finger, pulled him over, and whispered in her ear, "Liars need to be punished......"

"I'll punish you? Or you punish me! Chen Bo took her index finger into her mouth, bit it gently, and then showed a vicious look, "If you don't open the house for three days, you will have itchy skin today!" ”

The wine glasses were scattered aside, and the tall beauty was rudely carried on his shoulders and slammed on the soft big bed, and the sound was coquettish, and it was another stormy night......

"Boss, boss!" The door panel crackled, the sound was like a bell, and the howling of the ghost and the wolf woke Chen Bo up from the suite, this TMD is a suite, you kid is here, you can't settle down.

"Coming, coming......"

Pulling his half-numb arm from under Ivanka's neck, he put on his nightgown in a daze, and then staggered over and opened the door. It was too late, but it was too late, and I saw a little black fat man rushing in like a whirlwind and hugging him.

"Stop, can you stop, what time is it?"

"It's 11 o'clock, it's time for lunch!"

"Oh, it's so late. Yes...... Ha ...... yawned heavily, long-distance travel plus jet lag, and last night was overworked, but I didn't expect it to be noon. Lazily lying on the sofa, unwilling to move at all, he asked Julio, "How are you and that Na now?" ”

"It's Tina!"

"Well, just that Tina, you haven't taken it yet?"

"Oh, she said I was idle and didn't do my job." At this, Julio drooped his face, completely losing the excitement he had just had.

"If it were me, I wouldn't say that about you."

"It's still the boss who is good to me!"

"I'm going to beat you!" Chen Bo slapped him on the back of the head, "You are also a high-level intellectual, how can you chase girls by cheating?" Gotta show your man's charm. ”

"That'...... How do you show that? Julio suddenly froze.

"Not only do you have to have money, but you also have the right to reflect your value and achieve your own career. Haven't you heard that men look the most handsome when they work hard? Chen Bo began to pass on his experience, experienced several women, and if he didn't open his mind, it would be mentally retarded.

"Oh......" Julio narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

"It just so happens that I have an important task entrusted to you, and it's better to be idle than to be in the hospital."

"What task, thorn not exciting?"

"If you can speak Hebrew, do you understand Arabic?"

"Iraq? Are you going to let me go to Iraq! Julio screamed, "Boss, I don't want to die yet." ”

"Fuck off, the drama is a bit too much." Chen Bo then gave him a burst chestnut, is there water in this brain? "I'm going to the Middle East in a few days, one is to meet with Prince Alwalid in Saudi Arabia, and the other is to add a data center in the Middle East. I'm not too familiar with it, so you can help me investigate it. ”

"Oh, then I can still think about it. It's a pity that I can't see beautiful women, what's the point of only showing my eyes? Julio said with some frustration.

"You're just going to be out there, things are done, I'll take you to see the Victoria's Secret Angel Show!"

"Really? Mission completion guaranteed! "At the mention of beauty, this kid's eyes lit up and he became active." Speaking of Arabs, I couldn't have studied history more clearly. They belonged to the same Semitic descent as the Jews, one of the Hebrew branch and the other of the Bedouin branch. Because of the occupation of the Eurasian fortress, which used to be rich by collecting tolls, Mecca was actually a toll booth. After Columbus opened up new trade routes, he returned to his original form, living only on nomadism and pearl fishing, and was absolutely poor until the discovery of oil. ”

"What else?"

"The Middle East is not all oil, like Yemen, which is a poor country registered by the United Nations. Saudi Arabia is a fundamentalist country, and women are not allowed to have a driver's license, let alone drink alcohol. Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are more secular, and Syria and Lebanon can do so, but there are too many mountains. ”

When it comes to his major, Julio still knows everything about it, in fact, his IQ is not low, as long as his EQ is slightly worse. And there is a rebellious child in his heart, which makes him even more cute, and he lives in passionate and unrestrained South America, which will also make it difficult for the reserved Chinese to understand his kind of character.

"Then you go to the UAE first, do a good job of investigation and wait for me to meet you, and the expenses will be reimbursed throughout the process, as long as you don't break the law." Chen Bo gave him instructions, and arranged for two employees of the company to go with him, so he still had to watch him and order well, so as not to cause any trouble.
