"Tell me about He Zi's father."

Li Lu lit a cigarette and smoked, and said.

Zhang Jianguo picked up the folder at hand, took out a piece of information, handed it to Li Lu, and then began to introduce, "He Guohui, that is, He Zi's father." His position in the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce was mainly inherited from his father, Mr Ho Lok. During the Anti-Japanese War, Mr. He was a representative figure of overseas Chinese supporting the Anti-Japanese War, and had a high prestige in the Chinese society in Southeast Asia. There are many high-ranking officials in the Singapore government who have received funding from Mr. Ho. After Mr. He died, He Guohui also adhered to Mr. He Lao's last wish and focused most of his energy on the foundation, except for leaving two grain and oil stores to maintain daily living expenses, all other properties of Mr. He were handed over to the foundation. He Guohui has no greater demands in business and is keen on philanthropy. It is said that in recent years, the Ho Foundation has plans to return to China to donate to schools. ”

After a pause, he said, "The source of funds of the He Foundation has developed from mainly relying on Mr. He Lao to now, and it has become the preferred donation object of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Southeast Asia. ”

"Can you say that the Ho Foundation has a lot of influence on the Singapore government. ”

Tang Jiu said, "That's right. More than half of the people in the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce are donors of the Ho Foundation. In a sense, the membership system of the Ho Foundation is more cohesive than that of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. On the other hand, Ho Kwok Fai is the president of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce. ”

can imagine how huge the energy of He Guohui, who only runs two grain and oil stores, whether it is political influence or local business influence, He Guohui can be regarded as the first person. In Singapore, a small country dominated by Chinese, He Guohui is basically a person who speaks the same way.

Tang Jiu said, "He Guohui rarely participates in political matters, and has only one angle to do things, starting from the perspective of the He Foundation, and doing charity wholeheartedly. On the contrary, it has won more trust and care from the Singapore government. ”

"He's a smart man." Li Lu nodded slightly, "Of course, I believe that he is a philanthropist with great ideals like his father. ”

After knocking the cigarette ash, Li Lu said, "Uncle Jiu, I have to see He Guohui." In the current situation, we are surrounded by strong enemies, and with our current strength, we may not even be able to eat the scum of this piece of cake in Singapore's economic planning. We need an influencer to help. ”

Tang Jiu said in a deep voice, "He Guohui is not easy to speak, the difference between him and Mr. He is that the original intention of Mr. He to establish the He Foundation is to unite the strength of overseas Chinese to support the development of his hometown. He Guohui's eyes are all over the world, and he doesn't have many deep feelings for his hometown in China. ”

"Understandable." "Judging from his resume, he was born and raised in Singapore and has not spent too much time in China. However, since Mr. He is a person with a very strict family education, there must be a subtle influence in He Guohui's growth process. But you have to give it a try, there is no better way. ”

After thinking for a while, Li Lu said, "I brought 10 million US dollars, which is all the funds that can be used on the books of the head office." ”

Tang Jiu and Zhang Jianguo nodded solemnly and slowly.

They know that there are several big projects in the family, each of which is a super project with a total investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. Joint venture tank car, passenger aircraft research and development, domestic large aircraft development, petrochemical plant, any one of them can quickly exhaust all the funds of the Red Star Industrial Corporation. It is not easy for Li Lu to deduct 10 million US dollars, and no matter how much, the consequences of the rupture of the capital chain are unbearable.

The shelves are super large, but the money that can be used is very small, this is the current situation of Red Star. Of course, it refers to the US dollar foreign exchange, and if it is Huaxia currency, there is no such worry at all. Fenyuan is able to provide a large amount of cash on a continuous basis. It's a pity that out of the country, Huaxia coins are equivalent to waste paper.

In the past two years, Li Lu has continued to invest in overseas companies, and there are almost 10 million US dollars. The problem is that in the past two years, the layout has been the mainstay, and there is no business that can provide strong profitability in the real sense of the word on the part of overseas companies.

Li Lu is very clear about this account, and the money he can use is definitely not more than fifteen million US dollars.

Kitajima Co., Ltd. offered a sky-high price of 30 million US dollars for the signing fee alone, and with the current strength of Red Star Overseas, he couldn't see what Kitajima Co., Ltd.'s face looked like even if he held his head high.

The gap is too big.

"Singapore's port is important." Li Lu said in a deep voice, "The Strait of Malacca is the lifeline of the Japanese and our lifeline. I can't see it now, and maybe not in the next ten years. However, we are a country with a population of more than one billion, and I believe that the reform can be firmly and continuously promoted, and our country's economic development will definitely continue to create miracles in the future. We are exporting oil now because we can't consume so much oil at home. With the development of the economy and the continuous expansion of the market, exports will become imports, even if we are a big oil producer, we also need to continue to import oil in order to maintain the rapid development of the economy. ”

He drank some tea and said, "From a small aspect, petroleum energy is the key area of Red Star's next stage of development, and having a solid foothold and a transit station here in Malacca is also very important for our Red Star." ”

Facts and behaviors that are commonplace thirty years later are now shocking. Tang Jiu and Zhang Jianguo couldn't have imagined that far, and they didn't believe that Huaxia would need to import oil one day, just as no one could have imagined that Huaxia would be able to develop from an economically backward country to the world's second largest superpower in just 30 years.

There was just one point, the core of the Red Galaxy, including Tang Jiu, believed in Li Lu's gaze.

That's enough.

Looking at the time, Zhang Jianguo said, "There should be news." Third brother, I'd better go and bring He Zi'an back safely. ”

Li Lu nodded slightly, "Okay, you can go." Uncle Jiu, He Guohui's side, you go and inform. Invite people here, and they will be rescued and brought back here. Now is a good time to meet He Guohui. ”

Taking advantage of He Zi's kidnapping, He Guohui, who only has such a daughter, will first put his posture very low, which is obviously a good opportunity to meet.

Of course, the premise is that He Zi can be rescued safe and sound.

Tang Jiu said, "Okay, I personally came to the door to invite He Guohui to come over, and I persuaded him not to call the police for the time being." ”

The two of them drove away separately with a few retinues.
