"Is that so? Chen Sheng is still experienced..." Miss lee covered her cherry mouth and said with a smirk. As a Chinese-Dutch mixed-race child born and raised in Singapore, lee has outstanding beauty.

It has both the classical atmosphere of oriental beauties and the hot figure of Westerners, which really makes Chen Hongyu unable to stop.

"I tell you, there are still some specialties in this market, such as..." Chen Hongyu was praised by the beauty and was ecstatic. He didn't care about picking up the water anymore, and he was about to tell Miss Lee about his trading methods.

Unexpectedly, before he could say the words behind, he heard a noise coming from the hall, as if a weasel suddenly broke into a chicken coop.

"What happened?" Even Miss Lee, who had always been reserved in the past, widened her eyes and screamed loudly.

"Not good!" Chen Hongyu deserves to be in business for many years. When he heard this, he knew that the market had a major change. At this time, he didn't care about picking up girls, so he turned around and ran towards the hall.

Miss lee also woke up and ran with Zhou Weiqi. Her high heels hit the ground, like drum beats, and she followed Chen Hongyu without any hesitation and rushed into the trading hall.

This is Singapore, a transnational financial center that has just been established. Capital from the Chinese Federation, Western Europe and North America converges and flows like rushing rivers. This is an empire dominated by finance!

As soon as they entered the door, the two people looked at the large Chinese fluorescent screen showing the market.

At this moment, their hearts were extremely cold. They saw that the entire big screen was red, all of which were falling sharply. Chen Hongyu only heard of such a large-scale stock market plunge in the year of the Great Depression.

Since he went from China to Singapore to work in the financial industry, such an economic crisis has never happened!

"What happened?" Chen Hongyu asked, pulling a trader closest to him, "Is it a coup in Singapore, or did Malaysia invade us?"

"Old Chen. Don't you know yet? Just a minute ago, Liu Haoran, president of the multinational company Xinghua News Agency, said he wanted to invest in the Kra Canal!" The trader explained the situation in the simplest language, and then said repeatedly. "It's too late, it's too late, I must immediately throw out all the stocks entrusted by the customer! It will cost millions if I delay one minute!"

Liu Haoran, Kara Canal. Chen Hongyu understood what it means after coming here in less than five seconds.

As a trader, how could he not know the meaning of these two nouns, and how could he not know what impact would the two nouns once combined, on a country like Singapore that developed with the benefits of the Strait of Malacca.

Although he is a Chinese nationality, his assets and life are all in Singapore and in this stock market!

Chen Hongyu now is not happy about how much strategic value the Kra Canal has to Hualian. All he has is worry and anxiety.

Even if Liu Haoran’s Hanxinghua Society is viewed in the whole world, it is a miracle.

From the rise of a miracle like a comet falling to the ground thirty years ago, to the establishment of the China Federation, to the huge economic entity that spans countless industries and fields now.

The China Chemical Equipment Alliance and the Machine Tool Industry Alliance, led by Xinghua News Agency, are in full swing in the global market. This has forced various securities investment companies to study the words and deeds of Xinghua News Agency and the Liu family and his son as important market information.

As for the Kara Canal, it is a sword hanging over Singapore. Although everyone believes that the Thai government cannot raise enough funds to build this canal, no one dares to deny that once this canal is completed, Singapore's competitiveness will be cut in half.

The shipping industry, ship repair industry, petrochemical industry, steel industry and other industries that have developed heavily on the transportation advantages of the Strait of Malacca will be directly marginalized.

The financial and insurance industries supported by bulk oil transactions will inevitably suffer a serious impact. As hot money goes away from Singapore, real estate and other industries will inevitably collapse, and then...

There was nothing going on then.

Now, the name Liu Haoran is associated with the Kra Canal. Chen Hongyu believes that with the other party's strong strength, once he is determined to invest in the Kra Canal, it will only be a matter of time before the construction of the canal is completed.

As for the specific time it takes, it may be 10 years or 5 years. If someone predicts that Xinghua Club will only take three years to build the canal, Chen Hongyu would never dare to bet on the opposite side.

Indeed, Xinghua itself is unlikely to take out all the 20 billion yuan needed to build the canal, but how can Liu Haoran's appeal be ignored?

As early as more than ten years ago, he was able to unite petrochemical equipment companies in China and win 450,000 tons of ethylene transformation project.

A few years ago, it was his son again, who brought up a machine tool industry alliance and used wolf pack tactics to defeat China's extremely powerful Longyuan Company.

This time, he waved the banner and rushed towards Singapore's life gate. Chen Hongyu clearly saw that behind the banner, followed by thousands of Xinghua Franchise, each carrying a bloody butcher knife in his hand, intending to chop Singapore into meat.

This is the sadness of a small country like Singapore.

Such a country, as long as there is a little chance, is enough to make it ascend to heaven.

But at the same time, a small setback is enough to make it lose completely, which is the result of economic depth. If it were a big country, even if it encountered a major earthquake or a war, it would not plummet.

"Send it quickly!" Chen Hongyu only thought of such a word.

It is true that according to conventional principles, the construction of the canal will take more than ten years. In these ten years, the shipping advantages of the Strait of Malacca can be maintained, and the industry will not decline immediately.

However, the logic of the stock market is not like this. Once this news comes out, all investors will lose confidence in Singapore's development prospects, and the stock market will inevitably usher in a devastating collapse.

The most terrifying thing is that after this round of collapse, there may never be a time for heating up and turning back, because everyone knows that once the Kra Canal is completed, Singapore's economy will be completely finished.

Who led this evil star here! Everyone in the trading hall lamented loudly in their hearts.

At this time, the press conference at the Sing Tao Convention Center was also crowded with people. The reporters held the microphone high and wanted to stuff it directly into Liu Haoran's mouth to grab the exclusive news.

No one paid attention to the protagonist of the press conference. He had already prepared a long speech, intending to give a comprehensive explanation of his great achievements.

"Mr. Liu, how much money is Xinghua News Agency preparing to invest in the Kra Canal? Can these funds ensure that the Kra Canal is completed and open to navigation?"

"Mr. Liu. Does your attitude represent the attitude of the Chinese government? Is the support for the Kra Canal already included in the policy scope of the Chinese government?"

"Mr. Liu, do you think the Kra Canal can be profitable?"

"Mr. Liu, what impact do you think the construction of the Kra Canal will have on Singapore's economy? Can you give some opinions on this?"

“…”

The reporters in the room rushed to ask questions to Liu Haoran in English and Chinese, but everyone's mentality was different.

For journalists from European and American countries, the Kara Canal and other things have no direct relationship with them. They just come to grab a gossip with a soy attitude.

Journalists from Southeast Asia and other countries are sensitively aware that this is a matter related to their own interests.

On the one hand, the completion of the Kara Canal can bring about the ocean transportation industry in Southeast Asia. On the other hand, seeing that the Kara Canal may fall into the hands of the Chinese, it is somewhat reluctant for these vassal states.

However, even if they were reluctant, they would not dare to stand up and challenge the Chinese Federation. Such thorns had long died in the war period.

Thai journalists had already received relevant hints before, and were not particularly surprised at this time, but this did not prevent them from shouting loudly to exude their gloating feelings.

Several Chinese journalists did not join in the fun. They took out their mobile phones as soon as possible and reported the amazing news to the domestic headquarters. They asked domestic colleagues to contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the National Development Planning Commission and other departments immediately to learn about the inside story behind this incident.

They believe that Liu Haoran is just a spokesperson, and the real news source is in China, not here.

The most exciting thing was naturally the local reporters in Singapore. They were almost like cats with tails stomped, and they were screaming wildly, wishing they could rush to the stage, stretching out their claws to scratch Liu Haoran and Jila's tent, their faces blooming.

It's only less than five years since I just lived a rich life, so how could Thailand allow it to steal their business?

"Everyone, everyone!" Jilapeng shouted loudly with the microphone, "Please be quiet for everyone. We will provide every reporter with the opportunity to ask questions, please keep order."

The staff members in the audience also quickly took action and comforted the restless reporters one by one. Perhaps the initial shock had passed.

Perhaps everyone realized that such chaos was fruitless, and the noise slowly calmed down. Everyone shut up their mouths and raised their hands high, waiting for the host to give them a chance to ask questions.

Jilapeng looked at his speech, then looked at the expressions of the reporters below, finally sighed softly, put the speech away, and said, "Then, let's enter the questioning stage now. The gentleman with the highest hand, which newspaper you are from, please ask a question first."

The one who was in the spot was the reporter from a local newspaper in Singapore named Li Mingshun.

After getting the opportunity to ask a question, he stood up and asked Liu Haoran: "Mr. Liu, I have two questions. First, as far as I know, your Xinghua News Agency is an enterprise alliance mainly based on industrial manufacturing. Why do you want to invest in the canal? Second, do you know what impact the construction of the Kara Canal will have on Singapore's economy?"

Liu Haoran nodded, signaled Li Mingshun to sit down, and then said to the microphone: "My answer is this. Xinghua News Agency's main business is manufacturing, but this does not prevent us from diversifying development. We have mines in Africa and South America, and have also built ports in some countries. This is the manifestation of our diversified development."

"As for investing in the Kara Canal, we have two motivations. One is that we are optimistic about the returns of this canal. I believe that this canal can make profits quickly and bring us rich investment returns."

"The second is that our Hanhua Heavy Industry equipment export and raw material purchase rely on sea transportation. The navigation of the Kara Canal can save our transportation costs, which is very beneficial to the development of our company."

"But your company's goods are currently open to navigation through the Strait of Malacca, which is very convenient. Why do you have to spend such great effort to build a canal?" Li Mingshun stood up and asked. This was his question to Liu Haoran, which was allowed at the press conference.

Liu Haoran smiled slightly and said, "As we all know, the security situation in the Strait of Malacca has always been unsatisfactory. Pirate attacks frequently occurred. At the beginning of this year, a steamer that transported large power generation equipment for our company was attacked by pirate attacks in the Gulf of Aden."

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused for a moment before saying solemnly: "Fortunately the crew on the ship resisted desperately, so the property of our company was not lost. After this incident, our company attached great importance to the threat of pirates in sea transportation, which is one of the reasons that prompted our company to decide to invest in the Kara Canal."

Lie! This is definitely a lie!

The reporters in the press room muttered secretly in their hearts. Seeing that Liu Haoran's face had returned to his previous relaxed smile, he knew that his words were not the truth at all.

I have never heard of a company that digs a canal in order to avoid pirates. Xinghua’s equipment encountered pirate attacks on the sea, which happened in the Gulf of Aden. From then on, Xinghua’s goods did not go to the Gulf of Aden and switch to the Cape of Good Hope?

However, whether it is true or false, as a reporter, these words must be recorded and published as it is. As for how to comment, it is the job of a media commentator.

These true and false diplomatic rhetoric are the most convenient for commentators to use their imagination.

"So. How did Mr. Liu answer my second question?" Li Mingshun continued to ask.

"The second question is..." Liu Haoran seemed to have no memory. He looked at Li Mingshun with a blank look and waited for him to repeat it.

Li Mingshun had to reiterate: "My second question is: Does Mr. Liu know what impact will the construction of the Kra Canal have on Singapore's economy?"

"Oh." Liu Haoran nodded and gave a very straightforward answer: "I don't know."

"You don't know!" Li Mingshun went wild, "You decided to invest in the Kara Canal, but you didn't know what impact the Kara Canal would have on Singapore. Can people believe this?"

Li Mingshun smiled faintly and said, "I really don't know, because... what impact this canal has on Singapore and what does it have to do with me?"

The reporters below were stunned at first, and then they snickered. Liu Haoran's words were really a bit damaging, so they didn't give them to the other party at all, and they also despised the entire Singapore.

Chen Tian, ​​who was sitting at a corner of the venue, smiled bitterly helplessly. This was not the argument he agreed with Liu Haoran in advance. Liu Haoran is a guy with a clear love and hate, and dares to think and do it. These days, he has been so angry that he has been politicians in Singapore. How could he not be angry if he gets such an opportunity?

Even if Qingzhu Chemical is standing behind the other party, Liu Haoran is not easy to mess with!

Li Mingshun's face turned red by Liu Haoran's words. He was about to jump up and say something before he could say something. Jilapeng said: "Sir, your chance to ask questions has been used up. Next, please ask that beautiful lady to ask questions."

Li Mingshun had to sit down in disappointment. No matter how much grievances he felt, he couldn't say it out. This is the rule of the press conference. You are here for an interview, not to ask for punishment.

If you really want to whine, it’s endless, but other colleagues will be unable to get along with you.

The reporters who asked the next question were not from Singapore media. What they were more concerned about was naturally related to the construction of the canal. Regarding these issues, Liu Haoran and Jilapeng cooperated tacitly and comprehensively introduced the canal construction plan and the ideas of building oil trade centers, refineries, financial centers and other aspects based on the convenience of canals.

Jila Teng even made a set of slides and hit it on the front curtain so that everyone could clearly see the details of the entire plan.

The reporters present heard that this was a complete cut and that all the industries in Singapore now were to be taken to the Kara Canal area and completely undermine Singapore's industrial foundation.

The plan has been achieved at this point. If Liu Haoran knows nothing about the impact of the Kra Canal on Singapore, it would be a fool to children.

Finally, it was another Singaporean reporter's turn to ask a question, and this person was named Huang Jingwei.

He stood up and said to Liu Haoran rudely: "Mr. Liu, I'm sorry, you have made such a great determination to support the Kra Canal Plan. If you don't know the harm this canal will have to Singapore's economy, it is absolutely impossible. Singapore and China are the same language and species. If you do this, aren't you afraid that we Chinese will be disappointed?"

This accusation is not light, but Liu Haoran did not intend to get too entangled with the other party. He just spoke with regret: "I am just a businessman. It is beneficial to me to invest in the Kra Canal, so I will cooperate with the Thai government. As for the adverse impact it will have on Singapore in the future, I can only express my regret. After all, it is your Singapore that refuses to cooperate with me."

Liu Haoran deliberately used this to run Singapore. As a main Chinese country, Singapore has a serious pro-American and pro-Revolutionary tendency.

Relying on their cooperative relationship with Qingzhu Chemical, they dared to challenge Liu Haoran, but they never thought about the serious consequences that would lead to. To be continued...
