"It is me." said Ma Zhichao.

Handshake.

Foreign old man: "Hello, Mr. Ma, I am Calthorpe."

Then he said to the hotel manager, lobby manager, waiter and others: "I, Calthorpe, the long history of Calthorpe Hotel ends here. I sell the hotel to my dear friend, Mr. Ma Zhichao, a super tycoon from Hong Kong Island!"

Hotel manager, lobby manager, waiter, etc.: “…………”

Staring at Ma Zhichao blankly.

Then a flattering and fawning smile gradually appeared.

Yang Eleanor and others looked at Ma Zhichao with shock on their faces.

Ma Zhichao nodded and pointed at Yang Eleanor: "Check them in and the money will be on my account."

Ma Zhichao has watched "Crazy Rich Asians" and has a good impression of the Yang family, who are the richest family in Singapore but still adhere to Chinese traditions - making dumplings and following various Chinese customs.

Moreover, if I want to enter Xingzhou, maybe I can get to know the Yang family first.

Yang Eleanor quickly thanked: “Thank you, Mr. Ma!”

Ma Zhichao nodded, then turned and left, and Tian Yangsheng and other bodyguards followed him.

While checking into the hotel, Yang Eleanor called her husband and told him what had happened.

"You said that the rich man's name is Ma Zhichao?"

"Yes, you know him?"

"I've heard that he's very powerful in Hong Kong Island, but why did he come to Singapore?"

"That's not clear."

"I happen to be free tomorrow, I'll go visit."

……

……

a new day,

The weather in Xingzhou was clear and sunny, as if the heavy rain last night had washed the sky clean.

Ma Zhichao came to the International Financial Exchange.

This exchange is the third largest exchange in Asia after Tokyo and Hong Kong, and one of the major financial centers in Asia.

Ma Zhichao came here just to feel the pessimistic atmosphere.

The big screen inside the stock market was all red.

All falling!

As soon as the market opened, the index had already fallen by -1.4%.

And outside the exchange.

"Bang bang bang~~~~~"

One after another, human bodies fell from the sky, dyeing the ground red. It was a spectacular sight.

At this time, it has been half a month since the beginning of the stock market crash. The top 100 companies in Singapore, as well as companies of all sizes, have gone bankrupt in large numbers, and many companies have collectively fled capital, resulting in a catastrophic scene: hundreds of thousands of people are unemployed and the suicide rate is rising.

Ma Zhichao, you came at the right time!

----------

Sorry for being late, it’s mainly because I was adjusting the details…

Chapter 385: Anti-Rabbit Pioneer, Xingzhou High-level

The next step is to send subordinates to collect information on various industries in Singapore in preparation for the next acquisition.

the next day,

Ma Zhichao discovered a problem. In Singapore, real estate has no future because the Singapore Land Acquisition Law requires that the government's compensation for land expropriation must be based on the value before development. It emphasizes the importance of government investment in infrastructure to increase the value of land, so it specifies that the value-added income cannot be owned by land speculators.

In other words, making money by speculating in real estate? Too difficult!

On the third day, Ma Zhichao had a general understanding of the current major industry landscape in Sin Chew:

Chemical industry + electronics, these are the two major pillars of Xingzhou.

Tian Yangsheng introduced: "According to what we know, after the outbreak of the Fourth East China War in 1973, the global oil crisis broke out. Then the whole world was storing oil, but Singapore did the opposite and implemented a free trade policy for oil, which won the favor of international capital."

"After that, Singapore's chemical industry developed vigorously, and now Singapore has developed into the world's third largest oil refining center after Houston and Rotterdam."

Ma Zhichao: "Where is the electron? What's going on?"

Singapore's electronics industry is quite impressive now. Apple Computer started producing personal computers in Singapore in 1981, and CD-ROM drives in 1982. By 1985, there were more than 150 multinational companies engaged in the production of electronics or computer accessories in Singapore. The biggest achievement of the electronics industry today is that Singapore is currently the world's largest manufacturer of computer disks.

Tian Yang thought: "At present, it can only be said that it is the personal promotion of Prime Minister Li Guangyao."

Ma Zhichao combined some situations in later generations and shook his head and said, "No, it should be that Li Guangyao's behavior was recognized by the United States."

At present, Singapore is a loyal younger brother of the United States and the leader of the anti-rabbit movement in Southeast Asia.

Li Guangyao's "political achievements" included attempts to break away from sinicization.

On the other hand, Li Guangyao also tried his best to adopt a "Westernization policy" and made English the first language of national education.

In addition, if Ma Zhichao remembers correctly, a large area of ​​land has been allocated in Singapore for the construction of a US military base.

This series of actions naturally made Midie very happy.

Ma Zhichao made the decision: "Then we will acquire chemicals and electronics. In addition, we will acquire a building to be used as the first location for New Era Supermarket."

Tian Yangsheng, Tian Yangsi: "Yes, boss!"

However, Ma Zhichao's acquisition behavior soon attracted Li Guangyao's attention.

……

……

38 Oxley Road.

Li Guangyao's house,

Lee Kuang Yew has lived here since the 1940s. It was also here that Lee Kuang Yew witnessed the history of fighting for Singapore's independence and gathered with like-minded people in the basement of the house for meetings many times.

At this time, Li Guangyao was sitting in the living room. The furnishings inside were extremely ordinary and simple, with a portrait of his great-grandfather hanging on the wall.

Li Guangyao is now 71 years old and has retired to the cabinet as an advisor, but he is still the most authoritative and powerful person in the country.

At this moment, he was listening to his secretary's report with a serious expression.

"Currently, Ma Zhichao's people have acquired the shares of the major shareholders of two chemical companies, and also acquired the disk factory..."

"They are very generous in their acquisitions, and several shareholders of chemical and electronics factories want to sell their businesses as quickly as possible because of the financial crisis, so their transactions are very fast..."

Listening to the secretary's report, Li Guangyao rubbed his eyebrows.

He is very afraid of the Chinese.

Really scared!

Li Guangyao: "How is your investigation going on with Ma Zhichao?"

Secretary: "What we have now is some information about him in Hong Kong Island. A year and a half ago, he was still an undercover policeman. After solving a case, he became very successful. Not only did the company he founded grow rapidly, but he was also promoted to the position of deputy director in the police force at an incredible speed. At present, he has great influence in Hong Kong Island. He even refuses to give face to the Grand Commander, and he has clashed with Victoria's intelligence agency several times. Ma Zhichao even won!"

Li Guangyao frowned and said, "So this person is not easy to mess with?"

Secretary: "His style is very tough!"

Li Guangyao: "As for his identity... is it possible that he is from the north?"

Secretary: "Based on his history of success, it is very likely. After all, no one can develop so quickly. It is very unreasonable."

Li Guangyao: "Do you think it's possible that they were sent by the North to cause trouble?"

Bang~~

Bang the table!

Li Guangyao cursed inwardly: "What a trouble!!"

The Li family, since the first generation came to Singapore from Chaomei in 1860, has had a strong desire to return to their roots for three generations.

Li Guangyao was highly regarded by his grandfather since he was young, and his grandfather devoted all his efforts to educate and cultivate him. During his studies, Li Guangyao was educated in Western ideas, and his ideas gradually changed, and he became a "root-cutting" generation.

While in office, he spent decades carrying out a de-Sinicization movement in areas such as culture, language, and education, and highly praised Western culture and systems. He visited China many times but never personally paid homage to his ancestors.

The thing that he is most sensitive about in his life is: try not to have any contact with the Chinese side!

And now, Ma Zhichao is here!

Make him feel like he is facing a formidable enemy!

Li Guangyao said seriously: "No matter what, we must stop this Ma Zhichao!"

The secretary thought about it.

Prevent?

How to stop it? Is it a warning? Or something else?

Li Guangyao thought for a moment and instructed: "Tell all chemical companies not to sell their shares to Ma Zhichao. If there are any management problems, you can talk to the government about acquisitions..."

"Also, notify the heads of all departments to put a check on Ma Zhichao's company..."

The secretary nodded: "Yes!"

Li Guangyao: "Also, spread the word that we in Xingzhou do not welcome Ma Zhichao to come."

The secretary was shocked.

So cruel?

It seems that Ma Zhichao will have to go back in disgrace.

……

……

Xingzhou, Yang family.

Eleanor, who met Ma Zhichao by chance in the hotel a few days ago, was chatting about Ma Zhichao with her husband Yang.

Eleanor: "Hubby, didn't you say you were going to meet Ma Zhichao? Why haven't I seen you these days?"

Yang took a sip of tea and said, "Ma Zhichao is not suitable to meet..."

Eleanor: “Why?”

Yang: "Because Ma Zhichao's identity is not very clear, the people above don't like people like him coming."

Eleanor was thoughtful after hearing this.

Yang: "Originally I was just guessing, but today, I happened to hear a piece of news saying that Sin Chew does not welcome Ma Zhichao."

Eleanor was shocked: "It's Li?"

Yang nodded, "Yes."

Eleanor frowned immediately.

To be honest, the Yang family still retains relatively traditional northern customs, such as Spring Festival couplets, dumplings, traditional festivals and so on.

But that Li kept emphasizing the West, the West, the West!

Among the holidays in Singapore, only the Chinese New Year is given as a holiday. Other holidays such as Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are not given as a holiday. And Li has always wanted to remove the Chinese New Year.

Chapter 386 Can't Afford to Offend? Tit for Tat!

at this time,

On the other side, a seaside manor,

Another large Chinese family, the Huang family.

The Huang family can be regarded as the real estate king of Singapore (from Putian).
