Chapter 508 I don't like it! (Seeking monthly votes)

The archipelago nation has completely messed things up this time.

Zero-dollar purchases have swept through all major cities. Despite repeated orders from the leaders who remained behind, the police and law enforcement agencies below simply ignored them.

At this time, Zhang Yong, a powerful Chinese businessman and special envoy of Timor Island, stepped forward and led his men to forcefully suppress the indigenous people who were also causing trouble in the capital.

The ferocity of his three thousand elite thugs left a deep impression on the leaders of various factions in the capital of the Thousand Islands Kingdom.

With Zhang Yong's strong support and the gradual influx of other forces, the Chinese-American executive quickly stabilized the situation in the capital.

Then, it's time to clear out the locals in the surrounding big cities who are participating in the zero-dollar purchase program, and the process has to be fast.

Meanwhile, the collapse of the war on Timor Island caused considerable trouble for the leaders who remained behind.

Coupled with strong international pressure, he simply let go and allowed the indigenous people of Timor Island to establish a nation.

During this period, Zhang Yong naturally played a crucial role in providing advice and acting as a go-between.

The situation on Timor Island has nothing to do with the bigwigs who stayed behind.

This pot must be firmly placed on the shoulders of Mr. Ten percent, who has now become a part of the fireworks industry.

Without the pressure from the archipelago nation, the Kingdom of Timor was hastily established.

However, Portugal and the Netherlands were the first to recognize Timor.

The country, and couldn't wait to send its ambassador and business delegation to the scene.

They were greeted by a group of Hong Kong businessmen.

They were commissioned by Timor-Leste and, together with business delegations from both countries, discussed the planning and construction of the new city of Dublin.

Indeed, if Timor hadn't used this as bait, why would the Netherlands and Portugal, the two former colonial powers of Timor Island, have been so eager to promote it?

Only a fool would do something that doesn't bring them any benefit!

Timor Island's geographical location is actually quite good.

It is very close to Australia, but quite far from the political and economic center of the archipelago nation.

Portugal has reaped huge profits from the gambling industry in Australia, and naturally wants to replicate that success in Timor.

The Netherlands has a similar idea: as long as the city can be successfully built, they can sit back and collect money.

Although they noticed something unusual about the situation in Timor during their contact, they didn't make a fuss about it.

As long as they can make money, the business delegations from both countries don't care about anything else, and may even be hoping for such a situation to occur.

As everyone knows, Chinese people are still quite wealthy!
With the examples of the Netherlands and Portugal preceding it, the establishment of diplomatic relations between the mainland and Timor-Leste doesn't seem so abrupt.

However, it's unclear where Timor got the funds to purchase over a billion RMB worth of infrastructure materials from mainland China.

However, no one paid attention to the fact that Timor Island was too primitive and had never undergone any proper industrial development.

It takes an unknown amount of time and effort to build infrastructure such as roads and bridges to a certain standard.
It will probably take at least ten years for it to develop into something of value!
In fact, most of the outside world's attention is currently focused on the archipelago nation.

With the help of Zhang Yong and a group of allied forces, the remaining Chinese business leaders gradually straightened out the situation and suppressed the zero-dollar shopping trend in major cities.

But what happened next was the real headache.

Restoring order to major cities, explaining the situation to the innocent civilians who were harmed, and the countries behind the foreigners are the most troublesome issues for the Chinese business leaders.

Another point to consider is how to quickly consolidate power to prevent unsuspecting colleagues from reaping the benefits. The people of Hong Kong, of course, are unaware of these details.

One by one, they cursed and swore at the island nation on the television screen, their impression of this Southeast Asian power was extremely negative.

According to a rough estimate by the television station, in the short period of time that the zero-dollar shopping spree broke out in the archipelago nation, the number of Chinese people affected reached more than three thousand.

Although the number of deaths was not large, the figure of over three hundred was still alarming.

However, the harm suffered by the local Chinese community can be clearly seen even through a television screen; it is absolutely unbearable to witness.

This was only possible because ATV exposed the incident in time and organized effective manpower to protect a large number of elderly, weak, women and children.

Just imagine, if it weren't for ATV's exposure, the large number of elite thugs Hung Hing had deployed in the archipelago, and the involvement of that remaining Chinese bigwig, the number of Chinese casualties would be unpredictable.

As for property damage, that would be even more serious.

At the height of the crisis, all the shops with signs in traditional Chinese characters shown on television were looted and emptied, leaving not a single scrap.

Given the way this archipelago nation has behaved, expecting its government to provide appropriate compensation or restitution is wishful thinking.

If such a good thing were to happen, the foreigners would be the first to benefit, given the current state of affairs.

Hong Kong's wealthy elites are actively calling for fundraising to help the Chinese community in the archipelago that has been harmed.

To be honest, seeing how enthusiastically Hong Kong people were donating money, Wu Feng felt unsettled and wasn't particularly willing to donate.

It's not that he's stingy, but rather that he doesn't know how much of this donation will actually be delivered.

In fact, if we really want to help the local Chinese who have been harmed, it would be better to find a way to send them to Timor for resettlement.

At this sensitive time, even if the people of the Thousand Islands are unhappy, they probably won't say much.

Unfortunately, this is unlikely to happen.

At that time, the wealthy elites of Hong Kong Island were unaware of the specific situation in Timor.

Besides, it's hard to say whether those local Chinese who were targeted by the local natives, suffered physical injuries, had their property looted, or were robbed would be willing to leave.

The saying "It's hard to leave one's homeland" doesn't just refer to people from inland China.

Their living environment, social circles, and various connections are all in the local area, and they would probably find it difficult to give them up unless absolutely necessary.

Besides, Wu Feng wasn't really keen on accepting these guys.

The Chinese community in this archipelago nation, well, sometimes their words and actions are quite excessive. Someone who doesn't know them might think they deeply resent their own bloodline and their very skin.

As for wealthy Chinese in the archipelago nation, they are even less welcome.

In his previous life, Wu Feng had read a rebirth novel with almost the same plot, both about vying for the land of the Thousand Islands Kingdom.

The report mentions that some local wealthy Chinese had an outrageously close relationship with the "Mr. Ten percent" who became part of the fireworks.

Wu Feng was deeply shocked!

This time, Mr. Ten Percent died prematurely, and he wanted to see if such a being would appear.

As a result, Wu Feng's eyes were opened!
