The eastern sea of Indonesia, Weigu Island.

The sun, the waves, and the sand.

Listening to the seagulls chirping overhead, smelling the salty smell of the sea in her nose, Luo Jia's whole body relaxed, her pores stretched comfortably, and she enjoyed a moment of leisure and tranquility.

Whether she went to South Korea before, or accompanied her parents to Malaysia for the Spring Festival, Luo Jia came and went in a hurry, dragging a 20-inch aluminum alloy suitcase, so busy that she had no time to enjoy the scenery outside the window.

As a believer in the cost theory, Luo Jia feels that this is probably the price that needs to be paid in order to achieve the goal.

It's like if you're hoping to lose weight, but after carefully reading the composition and description of all the foods, you'll be sad to find that anything that makes you healthier is unpalatable.

Health comes at a price, no one can eat a cream cake and sing a song, and be healthy and slim at the same time, no one.

Luo Jia turned over on the bench by the beach, let herself lie on her side, then picked up the mango juice on the table and took a few sips lazily.

In the distance, there is a group of girls vacationing here, with long blond and chestnut hair, slender thighs, unnatural breasts, thin waists, and white skin that is somewhat unhealthy.

They are supposed to be of Slavic descent and have dealt with the Wen brothers a lot, and Luo Jia is now accustomed to observing strangers from an anthropological point of view, although there is a suspicion of racial discrimination, but there are indeed huge differences between different races.

For example, the entire African continent did not invent a single script for a long time before the arrival of the colonizers.

This is a unique phenomenon among all races on the earth, the South Asian subcontinent dwarf blacks, American Indians, they are all bullied very badly, but even so, the Indians still invented hieroglyphics and languages, not to mention the mysterious Inca civilization and Aztec civilization.

Anyway, you live in this complex world, and there are some things that you can not say, but you must understand in your heart which are the facts and which are the so-called "facts" that have been embellished by political correctness.

Luo Jia retracted his gaze, he was used to living alone, having a girlfriend meant that it would take time, Luo Jia had already tried, even if he was obedient to a girl like Ping Yu Sakura, he still needed to spend eleven six hours a week.

The cost of companionship is a word invented by Luo Jia herself, which means how much time a man has to invest in his girlfriend in order to make his girlfriend feel that he is not left out, and then will not produce the spiritual power called resentment.

Luo Jia even designed a mathematical model for this, incorporating data such as her girlfriend's personality traits, education level, and independence tendencies into the model, so that she could calculate the time, energy, and money that she needed to spend on her girlfriend every week.

The result is obvious, Ping Yu Sakura is already the most obedient and easily satisfied girl that Luo Jia knows, and she still needs to spare eleven six hours a week to be by her side, take her to eat, watch movies, etc.

Assuming that it is replaced by Ye Wuchen, who has a more character, the cost of companionship will not be less than seventeen hours a week, so in the end, Luo Jia came to the conclusion that long live being single.

At this time, Xu Chunbiao came to Luo Jia's side and whispered to him: "The special envoy of the Indonesian president has arrived." ”

Luo Jia nodded, got up from the beach chair, and walked in the direction of the hotel behind him.

……

Luo Jia changed into formal clothes and came to the banquet hall, and it happened that the presidential envoy had already put down his luggage and was chatting with Lu Junlin.

The envoy's name is Zhou Rui, about 30 years old, he is a Chinese Indonesian, his family runs mines and shipping, and he is quite famous in the local area, and lives in Bandung, a famous city of Chinese origin in the central part of Java.

"President Gibuto wants me to take him to say hello to you." Zhou Rui smiled, greeted Luo Jia, and said in very proficient Chinese: "Mr. President has important matters and cannot come in person, he deeply regrets this." ”

Just polite words, Luo Jia smiled and greeted, and the three of them sat down at a round table, and then ordered the waiter to serve the food.

They eat Western food today, the menu has already been drawn up by the executive chef, the appetizer and dessert after the meal are a total of five, because the main dish is lobster, so Luo Jia ordered a bottle of white wine, 02 Margaux White Pavilion, more than 2,000 US dollars.

"I wonder what it's like to live overseas as a Chinese-American? Is it still going well with the locals? Luo Jia asked curiously, he didn't go straight to the point to talk about business, but chatted with Zhou Rui first.

Zhou Rui smiled, "To be honest, we rarely get along with the locals, we live in a completely different world, as for the Chinese, it also depends on the bloodline, if it is a mixed-race Chinese, Bandung, Semarang, Surabaya and other traditional Chinese communities will not take them in, the only choice for mixed-race Chinese is to go to Jakarta, the capital area is not as clear as the traditional Chinese city, it is more inclusive." ”

Nani?

Isn't this the legendary apartheid?

Luo Jia touched her chin with her hand and asked more curiously: "What kind of existence is the Chinese community, a small world isolated from the locals?" ”

"Basically." Zhou Rui nodded and said: "Taking my Bandung Chinese community as an example, there are at least two servants in a family, and these two servants are usually husband and wife, the male maid is responsible for the garden, water and electricity, and the maid is responsible for cleaning and cooking. ”

"The less economically privileged Chinese also hire servants, but these servants are generally part-time and serve several families at the same time."

"The cost of hiring a maid is not high, the indigenous husband and wife, the salary of 2,000 yuan per month is enough, in addition, there are a small number of bankrupt or poor Chinese, who will engage in the profession of servants, but the cost is expensive, to hire a Chinese maid, you need to pay 6,000 yuan per month, and a very small number of wealthy families in the community can afford to hire a Chinese maid."

Lu Junlin frowned slightly and said: "According to what you say, the local Chinese in Indonesia are quite rich, after all, they can earn 6,000 yuan a month to be a maid." ”

Zhou Rui said with a smile: "Basically, but the two of you must also understand that my father is seventy-three years old this year, and he still works ten hours a day, four days a month, he will live in a mining area with very poor conditions, manage the family's mine, if the local natives can be as willing to endure hardships as the Chinese, I believe they will not be poor, but this prerequisite does not exist, as long as the locals have dinner today, they will not consider the problem of hunger tomorrow morning." ”

"It's really hard to integrate between different races and cultures." Luo Jia shrugged his shoulders, "In the past, I only heard that in Africa, the Chinese were very tired of the local black uncles, hated iron and steel, and were too lazy to take care of them. ”

Zhou Rui said: "I haven't been to Africa, but in Bandung, the Chinese community has its own clothing store, and the clothes are imported from Guangzhou. ”

"Almost every Chinese family has a car, and they don't know how to take the local bus system, I remember when I was in junior high school, I went to the suburbs once, and I couldn't get a taxi, so I wanted to take the bus, but I happened to be met by an uncle who was in the grain and oil business in the community, and he asked the driver to send me home and resolutely refused to take the bus."

"You may not believe it, but in Bandung, we have our own supermarkets and shops, and locals are not allowed to enter, unless they are maids from Chinese families, and the security guards at the gate will only let them in."

I'll go!

Is there still such an operation?

A sense of déjà vu that locals and dogs are not allowed to enter arises spontaneously, Luo Jia and Lu Junlin were simply stupid and speechless.

Seeing Luo Jia and Lu Junlin's surprised looks, Zhou Rui took a sip of mineral water and said in a rational voice: "This is probably the so-called clash of civilizations, looking at the world is by no means an exception, a white North American will not live in a black community, and vice versa." ”

That's too...

Luo Jia nodded slightly, North America is a pure country of immigrants, known as a beacon of freedom and civilization, if even they can't do racial integration, how can they blame the Indonesian Chinese.

The painful experience that happened in South Africa has taught us the fact that different is different, different circles, don't be hard-hearted.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Luo Jia and the presidential envoy Zhou Rui chatted very happily.

The financial group behind the current president is the Chinese community, and Zhou Rui is the representative of the Chinese community, and he said after the dessert was removed: "Mr. Luo, Mr. Lu, you should know that Indonesia has decided to move the capital. ”

Luo Jia smiled slightly and nodded slightly, indicating that she knew about it.

The Greater Jakarta area, which consists of Jakarta and surrounding cities, has a permanent population of more than 30 million and is the second largest urban agglomeration in the world after Tokyo.

Jakarta's population density has reached a staggering 15,000 people per square kilometer, what is this concept?

The congestion and pollution of the capital city in China have been criticized for a long time, but the population density of the capital is only 1,300 people per square kilometer, less than one-tenth of Jakarta.

What's worse is that Jakarta is close to the sea, which was originally a big swamp, and the land continues to settle every year, if you don't hurry up and find a way, let it continue to develop, half of the city will sink into the sea in the future.

"I don't believe that a professional politician will be single-minded and only work for the welfare of the people." After thinking for a while, Luo Jia said lightly: "The matter of moving the capital has been shouted for almost 30 years, and several presidents have not been able to do it. ”

"Secondly, the opposition has been in a lot of trouble lately, and the president can use the name of the relocation of the capital adjustment body to keep the disobedient people in Jakarta, let them rot away from the center of power, and eventually be forgotten by the world, and the new big city built on Kalimantan will become a stage for Gibuto and his allies to perform."

"It's not so much the relocation of the capital, it's more the struggle and change of rights, I don't know if I'm right, Mr. Zhou Rui?"

Luo Jia looked at Zhou Rui with a smile in his eyes.

Zhou Rui was silent at first, then nodded lightly, acknowledging Luo Jia's judgment.

Luo Jia let out a sigh of relief, and his eyes suddenly became sharp and said: "I understand, Xingchen Technology will do its best to help President Jibuto and complete the plan to move the capital, and the Chinese community you represent is the president's behind-the-scenes financier, I believe you will also make some moves, right?" ”

Zhou Rui slowly clenched his fists and said word by word: "Yes, this time, our Chinese community will stand in the center of power at all costs to ensure that the tragedy will not be repeated." ”
