Rebirth of the Official Business Route

Chapter 618: Indonesian fire

Sending Sun Jingmeng back to the Conservatory of Music, Sun Jingmeng did not say to return the shirt to him. Zhang Ke naturally couldn't take the clothes off her. With this idea, he rode back to Dongda. Du Fei and Meng Le were still drinking in the staff cafeteria. , So I went to drink with them again. The so-called similar temperaments, Du Fei and Meng Le had a very happy conversation.

The next few days were quiet. Sun Jingmeng was going to be busy decorating the bar. Du Fei said he was planning to set up an Internet cafe in Xuefu Alley. He had to spend more time preparing.

Looking back after ten years, in September 1997, the several Internet cafes in Jianye City can be called ancient memories. At that time, the more famous and more formal Internet in Jianye City was a city center named Wilt. Internet cafes, jointly funded by a technology company and the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, were first established at the end of 1996. w Novel chapter updated fastest

Du Fei has applied for an Internet cafe administrator in Wilt.

Without personally exploring, it is difficult to understand an industry thoroughly; details cannot be constructed completely by imagination. Especially in 1997, in China, the Internet cafe industry was still in a period of exploration in the dark, and there was not much experience and lessons to learn from.

Zhang Ke thought that Du Fei's insight and courage would make him a step ahead of others, so he didn't think of extra dictation. w "Fiction" novel chapters are updated fastest

Without seeing Du Fei, Zhang Ke insisted on writing posters and writing posters every day when he reported to the office last year. He had the opportunity to have a drink and chat with Meng Le, and he was somewhat indifferent to outside news.

On September 16, Thailand replaced its third-term Ministry of Finance and formally requested assistance from the International Monetary Fund on the condition of giving up part of its economic sovereignty. However, Zhang Ke knew that Thailand's economic collapse would come sooner and more thoroughly.

Three months ago, middle-class people in Thailand still wore famous Swiss watches. Wearing French brand-name clothes and drinking wine from a well-known winery, the family will go to a beach villa on weekends. Now they have to take the car as a mortgage to make up for part of the loss-even if they have a car, they can't afford it. Financial and industrial institutions have continued to close down, and the number of unemployed people has soared. The enrollment rate of private schools that just opened in September has also plummeted. It used to be crowded and impossible to get in. Private hospitals are also facing the same dilemma. Thailand’s high-spending crowds disappeared as if they were swept away by the sudden financial turmoil and buried under the sea. Sales of gold and diamonds have declined*, and the doors of luxury stores can be quite different...

These are the social status quo in Thailand described by Chen Xindong, Jiang Wei and others during their Southeast Asia trip to Zhang Ke; in the e-mail, they wrote: "Thailand at this time can be described like this: Today, the car driving out of the road is better than the car driving on the road. Lots of cars!"

Many people regard forest fires in summer forests in low latitudes as normal. Waiting for the rainy season to come, they will naturally extinguish the forest fires caused by summer drought. In short, the tropical rain forests of Sumatra and Kalimantan in Indonesia The fire will not be extinct in a year and will not appear

Mid-August. The raging fires in the tropical rainforests of Sumatra and Kalimantan in Indonesia began to burn again. The Indonesians did not know how much it would cast a shadow on their future.

Until mid-September, after the rainy season's torrential rain poured through the land several times, the forest fires in the two areas had not yet been extinguished, and Indonesians began to realize that this time it might be more troublesome.

Chen Xinsheng, as a representative of domestic entrepreneurs, visited Singapore on the 17th with Ye Zhenmin, Executive Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and Deputy Director of the Liaison Office. The smoke and dust from the forest fires in Indonesia has already affected Singapore. Chen Xinsheng described in an email that their plane had to hover over Singapore for more than an hour due to sudden heavy fog before landing.

As early as a year ago, Ye Zhenmin, who clearly pointed out the shortcomings in the Southeast Asian economic system and predicted the financial turmoil, became famous after the real turmoil of the Southeast Asian financial turmoil, and was the first American economics who was really alert to the dangers of the Southeast Asian economic system. Grugman is not the most influential person.

Hong Kong has just returned. The central government’s greatest effort is to maintain Hong Kong’s economic stability. It is also an inevitable choice to join forces with East Asian governments to resist financial giants. It is also the time to properly display the power of a great power, and Ye Zhenmin is naturally the most suitable candidate to come forward to promote this aspect of work.

While the International Monetary Fund was still making things difficult for the Thai government and putting forward various harsh conditions, Ye Zhenmin suggested to the domestic government to provide the Thai government with a government of 20 dollars to help it survive the most difficult moment.

The Singaporean authorities have always been the strongest support of the Thai government, but the Singaporean authorities have to worry that a large amount of international hot money has been continuously impacting their currency system and cannot spare the power to assist the Thai government and other neighboring countries. The domestic help at this time The Thai government can further strengthen its relationship with the Singaporean authorities and pave the way for the fab project to introduce manufacturing technology from Singapore. **

After Ye Zhenmin visited Singapore. He will also go to the Philippines. Chen Xinsheng will return to Jianye first and report to Zhang Feng some details and results of his Southeast Asia trip.

Probably the smoke and dust from the Indonesian forest fires that pervaded the country left too much deep impression on Chen Xinsheng. Chen Xinsheng and Zhang Tuo met and mentioned the incident that had been trapped in the sky over Singapore for more than an hour.

This should be the rainy season in Singapore. Foggy weather is rare. Zhang Ke has also been to Singapore twice. He was not particularly impressed with the garden city-shaped pocket country.

Zhang Ke just smiled faintly.

"How long do you estimate the forest fires in Indonesia will last?" Zhang Ke asked knowingly. No one knows how long the fire will last. At least until the end of December, the big fire will go out. At this time, apart from him, probably no one realized that this is the underground coal seam of Sumatra and Kalimantan that has burned up, right? Even if the flames on the ground extinguished the torrential rain. Underground fire sources will remain unextinguished all year round. Apart from this, the tropical rainforest on the surface has been burned out.

"It's really hard to tell," Chen Xinsheng squeezed his lips. "There is no time to go to Indonesia to have a look..."

Among the four filial pieties in Asia, Indonesia is the weakest filial piety with the least economically backward economy, and the filial piety with the most thorough economic destruction and the least respect. Zhang Ke even instructed Aida Electronics to completely abandon the Indonesian market in early June. Naturally, Chen Xinsheng's trip to Southeast Asia did not include Indonesia in the itinerary.

"I think it will continue for a long time," Zhang Ke said. "I have been watching news reports in quite a few areas these days. Indonesia is the largest supplier of wood pulp in Asia, and tropical forest fires in Indonesia continue to spread. It may affect the supply of wood pulp in Asia for a longer period of time..." Zhang Ke feels that he is hypocritical to say this. This is basically a forest fire that directly affects the supply and demand of global forestry resources for a long time.

Chen Xinsheng returned to Jianye to report to Zhang Feng about his trip to Southeast Asia, and Jianye is only eligible to come and join in the fun. Hearing what Zhang Ke said, he frowned and seriously considered this possibility. The Indonesian forest disaster has forced many pulp mills near the edge of the tropical rainforest to suspend operations in Indonesia, making the supply of wood pulp in Asia tight. I didn't realize that this situation would continue to intensify and continue for a long time. I thought that the heavy rains that followed the rainy season would extinguish the forest fires in Indonesia and restore the balance of wood pulp supply in Asia.

With the scale of Shin Kong Paper. It is impossible to hoard a large amount of building wood pulp. Zhang Ke's chosen path is to actively go out, taking advantage of the financial turmoil to destroy the Southeast Asian economy and the serious lack of financing channels for enterprises to invest in the acquisition of one or two pulp companies' equity.

Zhang Ke asked Chen Xinsheng again: "When Mr. Guo Songyan came back to Jianye, he also explained that Guo Group's funds were tight. Would they be willing to sell their shares in pulp companies?"

The largest group of Guo's Yunyuan Group is a food company, but its Yunyuan Paper is also well-known in Southeast Asia.

"Just a pulping company?" Zhou You asked.

"Well, they are willing to transfer papermaking technology, and we can also talk to them," Zhang Ke said. "Regardless of the possible long-term tight supply of wood pulp, we must also look for a stable source of wood pulp overseas. The scale of Shin Kong Paper is growing. In three years, the investment in fixed assets of the paper industry alone has exceeded 1.2 billion. , Especially the new investment in the second phase of the project is about to be put into production, and will continue to expand in the future, we need to seek a stable source of wood pulp overseas; on the other hand, our domestic forestry degree is also continuously improving It will be necessary to build a pulping plant in the later stage. At this time, the acquisition of equity in overseas pulping companies can be considered as preparing for future..."

In June, Zhang Yuyuexiu's income from Yuexiu Holdings was put together in the country last year, and a total of 400 million yuan was added to Shin Kong Paper's forestry project, which is such a large-scale forestry operation. In the later period, it is necessary to build a pulp mill to digest a large amount of industrial forest resources, and finally form a complete forestry integrated large paper industry system. Shin Kong Paper is not yet the largest paper group in China, but the scale of forestry management is far greater than that of the same industry. The domestic forestry-paper integration project has just started, and Shin Kong Paper’s courage and decision are also breathtaking.

"Well," Zhou You nodded, but hesitated. "Malaysian currency may depreciate further. Will it be too early to make a move at this time..."

"I also think that Malaysia's currency may further depreciate, but Malaysia's economic foundation is the best among the four filial pieties in Asia, which means that when the financial turmoil passes, Malaysia's economy may be the first to recover, and the currency exchange rate will naturally also It will rise to a normal level. Investing in equity does not need to consider short-term benefits. On the other hand, when we are negotiating with the Guo Group at this time, isn't it just that we can use this as a bargaining chip to lower the opponent's bid?"

"How much can it be lowered?" Zhou You doubted this. The key Kumho also secretly appointed Guo Songyan, chairman of the board of directors of Guo Yunyuan Group, to jointly raise investment in the fab project.

"If you can take advantage of both sides, you still have to insist on taking it." Zhang Ke laughed unscrupulously. "You can talk about specific things. In short, Kumho has frequent contacts with the Guo Group, and we also need someone who can cover people's eyes and ears. Excuses..."

The investment project of the fab must not alarm the Taiwan authorities at this time, nor is it appropriate to alarm the Malaysian authorities.

Aida Electronics and Chen Xinsheng are well-known in the industry. Frequent contact with Guo Songyan may cause the attention of relevant parties. The cover work must be done well. Once the Taiwan authorities are alerted in advance, this matter will *will fail.

Of course, Liu Zhicheng's worries are hard to dispel, which is currently the biggest obstacle to the fab investment plan.

Chen Xinsheng accompanied Ye Zhenmin on a visit to Singapore, UU reading www. The process of secret talks between uukanshu.com and the Singaporean authorities on this matter is still quite pleasant; on the other hand, Chen Xinsheng's visit to Singapore with Ye Zhenmin also represents the firm support of the domestic government, which also gave Liu Zhicheng, Guo Songyan and others a strong support. confidence.

It's not that Liu Zhicheng's efforts are invisible. He first rushed his wife to Singapore to accompany Liu Ming, who is studying at the National University of Singapore, to prepare for his final escape.

There are certain concerns. Once he leaves TSMC in this way, he should be able to withdraw from TSMC’s options. The shares in TSMC will also be frozen, and it is impossible for him to move all his relatives and friends out of Taiwan. ; In addition, he has to be conscientious to abduct the engineering and technical personnel and the families of the engineering and technical personnel to Malaysia. Only after secretly holding a technology company established in Kuala Lumpur can they choose to stay-after all, not everyone is willing to settle in the mainland; in addition, he is worried that there will be policy changes in the mainland.

"All conditions are easy to talk about, and we must do everything possible to dispel his worries," Zhang Ke frowned and thought for a while when Chen Xinsheng said about the situation, "The key is to abduct their people and talk...Of course, we They should also use their worries to resist the possibility of government funding and shareholding. I don’t really want to suffer."
