Chapter 130: Digging into the Wall
Before Sang Pingxiang finished his report, several Chinese businessmen at the banquet who were still unsatisfied chased after him, accompanied by the staff of the Jakarta representative office of an industrial investment company.
There are more Indonesian and Malay Chinese than Vietnamese, and they are richer than Vietnamese Chinese.
This time he came to Jakarta, Li Weimin wanted money and people, and of course he wanted a warm reception.
The song "Love Fights to Win", singing the bitterness of the Chinese fighting overseas, Li Weimin has immeasurable influence among the Chinese in Jakarta, especially among the young Chinese.
What's more, he is not only a "musician", but also a member of the Vietnamese National Assembly, chairman of the Vietnam Industrial Village Investment and Development Company, and a new Vietnamese Chinese leader who is deeply trusted by the Vietnamese Prime Minister.
Zhang Muxiang will sing "Love Fight to Win", watched the movie "Freedom Road", the last time Li Weimin led a group to raise funds overseas to donate money for the suffering Nong compatriots, just sat at a table and chatted and drank wine, simply greeted him, and said again: "Mr. Li, your company has a representative office here, you should have heard more or less about our situation, you are so sincere, from the bottom of our hearts we are very willing to go to Vietnam to do business, but ...... Just ......"
The Indonesian government's policy towards the Chinese is becoming more and more severe.
Chunjiang Plumbing Duck Prophet, he has a relatively large business, and people who are close to high-ranking government officials must be able to sense the danger, otherwise they will never chase after him.
Li Weimin smiled and asked: "Mr. Zhang, are you worried that the world is dark, maybe Vietnam is not as good as Indonesia?" β
Zhang Muxiang nodded with an embarrassed expression.
"As far as I know, the Indonesian government is considering closing Chinese schools, banning Chinese-language newspapers and periodicals, closing Chinese associations, banning the use of Chinese, and banning the import and distribution of Chinese books and periodicals. It has banned the import and screening of Chinese-language films, banned the preservation of Chinese cultural customs, advocated changing names and religions, encouraged Chinese to change their names to Indonesian, and even openly and covertly banned overseas Chinese from doing business and living in areas below the county level.
The Vietnamese government's policy towards the Chinese is much more lenient, and Chinese schools only need to offer Vietnamese language courses. Teach what you want to teach after taking Vietnamese lessons. As long as the Chinese-language press does not oppose the government, does not propagate the Vietminh's system, and does not involve sexual sexuality, they publish it casually. Although the Chinese Council and the Five Gangs Association were dissolved, other chambers of commerce, trade associations, and clan associations were protected by law.
It is worth mentioning that it was we Chinese who took over the Five Gangs Association, which became more united and efficient Xidi Chinese Asset Management Company and Xidi Chinese Charity Foundation. The property is managed by an asset management company, and the Chinese school and hospital are funded by the foundation. β
Li Weimin was like a salesman, and his eyebrows fluttered: "As for cultural customs. Native Vietnamese believe in Buddhism, Hoa Hao, Cao Dai or Catholicism, but do not believe in I-Lan religion. The cultural customs are no different from ours, the same Spring Festival, the same lively, not to mention any name change.
More importantly, after naturalization, Chinese people enjoy the same political rights as locals.
They can move freely and live freely, and their lawful property can be protected by law. They can participate in politics and join the army, and they can hold important positions in the government and the army. Including me. There are already four Chinese members of the National Assembly, and some politicians in the opposition have not expressed opposition to this. It's natural and normal, just like eating and sleeping. β
It's really natural and normal, and so far no one has said anything.
Sang Binh Xiang clearly understood that without Mr. Li's efforts, it would have been impossible for the Vietnamese Chinese to have such a political status.
He campaigned to organize the evacuation of North Vietnamese refugees to the south. He led a delegation to raise funds for refugees to go abroad, he called on wealthy businessmen on the banks of the embankment to donate generously to help refugees, and he broke his fortune to set up an industrial village investment company, which solved the employment of hundreds of thousands of people......
During the coup d'Γ©tat carried out by the Pyongcheon faction. He has always shared weal and woe with the government, and even risked his life to go to the places where the fighting was fought on behalf of the government to comfort the officers and soldiers of the country.
After defeating the sectarian warlords, he resigned from all official positions and won the respect of almost everyone. Some people in Saigon scolded Ngo Dinh Diem, saying that he was engaged in dictatorship and nepotism, and those relatives and friends who scolded Ngo Dinh Diem were not scolded as "Mr. Min".
Afraid that several Jakarta overseas Chinese leaders would not believe it, Sang Pingxiang couldn't help but say: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Huang, Mr. Lin, among the several infantry divisions of the Vietnamese National Army that are being reorganized, most of the soldiers in the Fifth Infantry Division are Chinese. In the police stations of several counties on the embankment, half of the police chiefs are Chinese, and the deputy directors of the other bureaus are also Chinese.
The Prime Minister's Office has Chinese secretaries, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and the Ministry of National Defense...... There are Chinese officials and military officers in government and military departments, and the shareholders of the industrial investment company are all Chinese. In order to ensure the safety of Chinese investment, the company has set up a security team equivalent to the local army and police, and most of the deputy directors, captains, detachment leaders, team leaders, and squadron leaders of the security team are Chinese. β
Seeing their suspicious looks, Sang Pingxiang added: "More than a dozen Nong settlements are completely autonomous, with their own militias, and they are jointly defended with nearby Catholic refugee resettlement villages, with guns in their hands and the ability to protect themselves. β
Li ...... Mr. Lee, does the government support this? β
"Vietnamese Chinese are also Vietnamese citizens, and of course they support it."
I have a gun in my hand, and I don't panic!
What's more, Vietnamese Chinese not only have guns in their hands, but even have a certain amount of military power, Zhang Muxiang looked back at a few happy companions, and asked expectantly: "Mr. Li, can we go to Vietnam to invest in building a factory, join Vietnamese nationality, and then come back as Vietnamese citizens to continue doing business here?" β
They are stronger than the Vietnamese Chinese, and have invested in the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors of the Indonesian economy.
Cigarette manufacturing, cement, pulp, agricultural product processing, finance, real estate, what to make money and do what, unlike Vietnamese Chinese businessmen who are mainly engaged in rice processing and export and wholesale and retail of daily necessities.
Anyway, if you don't say it after becoming a Vietnamese citizen, I won't say it, and the national government may not know how much to invest in Vietnam, get a passport, and leave a way back. They are just like the local tyrants who immigrated to the United States in later generations, their families are big, and they can't lose their business in Indonesia, so they came up with such a compromise idea.
Li Weimin was completely convinced, pretended to ponder for a moment, and said with an embarrassed face: "The revised new "Nationality Law" has been promulgated and implemented, and it is not easy, but we can think of a way. In addition, before independence, the Cambodian and Lao diaspora lived in Indochina, which was ruled by the French. The liquidity is relatively large, and it is not easy to distinguish.
If there are many people, they can think of a way in this regard, first make a transition in Kampong Son, Cambodia, and then enter Vietnam, which is a logical naturalization. After naturalization, your business becomes an overseas investment for Vietnamese citizens. The Vietnamese government will establish diplomatic relations with Indonesia next, and after the establishment of diplomatic relations, the Vietnamese Embassy in Indonesia will be able to provide consular protection to you. β
Indonesia has established diplomatic relations with New China, and the Nationalist Government does not have an embassy here, so it is definitely better to have a Vietnamese passport than not to have a Vietnamese passport.
How could Zhang Muxiang not know that this was conditional, and asked eagerly: "If we become naturalized, how much do we need to invest in Vietnamese industrial villages?" β
"It is not necessarily not an investment in industrial villages, the business environment in Vietnam is more relaxed than the political environment, you can invest in real estate, you can engage in finance. Of course. It is best to invest in industry to drive employment. Truth be told, this is the first time I've encountered a situation like this, and there is no policy on the government's side. If you don't wait a few days, I will ask Prime Minister Dim for instructions and try to formulate it as soon as possible, and I will let the representative office inform you as soon as I have any news. β
β¦β¦
Seeing off the overseas Chinese leaders in Jakarta, Sang Pingxiang asked puzzledly: "Mr. Li, why don't you just agree to them?" β
The time with me is too short. If Su Youcai was there, he would definitely not ask this question.
Li Weimin smiled and patiently explained: "Don't happily agree to have two considerations for them. The first is that they will feel that it is easy to get a Vietnamese passport, just like we are promoting the naturalization of compatriots on the embankment, we must first adjust their appetite, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The second is that this matter really needs to be communicated with Diem Diem, after all, people with Vietnamese passports and the Vietnamese government are responsible for others. In the event that the Indonesian government's attitude towards overseas Chinese develops to a terrible level, the embassy after the establishment of diplomatic relations will provide asylum. We must organize ships to come and evacuate overseas Chinese as soon as possible. β
"Is that really going to happen?"
"Indonesians are more disgusted with the Chinese than the Vietnamese, and like you know, there are some Chinese overseas Chinese who are influenced by ultra-leftist ideology and are getting more and more aggressive, and something is going to happen if this continues."
Make a revolution in other people's countries. It's normal for something to happen, but it's not normal if something doesn't happen.
Sang Pingxiang gasped and asked in surprise, "Mr. Li, so we have to prepare early?" β
"So here we are."
Li Weimin picked up the schedule and looked at it, and said expressionlessly: "Inform the representative office that the meeting will start at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning." β
The representative offices in Indonesia and Singapore are different from the representative offices in other countries in the overseas department, and the staff are all Chinese, all members of the Chinese Youth Association, and the chief representative Sheng Yuguan is even a member of the "Vietnamese Chinese Literature and Art Research Association".
Thinking of this, Sang Pingxiang suddenly realized that Mr. Li was not preparing now, but had already started to prepare.
When Diem saw Li Weimin's telegram, it was half past nine in the morning of the next day.
A total of three pages, analyzing the pros and cons, very organized, and at the same time did not hide his worries about the future of the Indonesian Chinese.
Wu Tingjiao took it and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing: "If you exchange nationality for investment, you can charge a handling fee when you apply for a passport, anyway, if you are an overseas national, this transaction can be done." β
"Look at the third page again."
If you want to make this investment, if you want to earn this expensive fee, the government has to take responsibility.
Wu Dinh Yao weighed it, pointed to the map and said with a smile: "Isn't there a shortage of people here, whether it is Chinese or Vietnamese, as long as it is not Cambodian." Besides, this is just speculation, and it doesn't necessarily happen. Even if it happens, it can be a secret point at that time. β
In case that happens, let the Indonesian Chinese who have invested in Vietnam pay for the evacuation of overseas Chinese in the name of the government, but not to Vietnam and Cambodia, and the border between the two countries is almost unguarded anyway. The more Chinese there are in the Cape and Kampong Son area, the safer South Vietnam will be.
Ngo Dinh Diem weighed it and agreed: "You return to the people, let him not make it known to everyone, otherwise Father Nguyen Lehua will come to me again." β
To dig the corners of the Republic of China, and to dig abroad, is to pay attention to the impact.
Ngo Dinh Ngai smiled tacitly: "Just in case, you can't let the Cambodian side know." (To be continued......)
