Chapter 1010 The government comes
"Xinghua News Agency is involved in the Kra Canal, and Xingdao suddenly becomes an isolated island"!
Overnight, the front page headlines of major Singapore newspapers were flooded with extremely sensational articles on the above titles. Meanwhile, the Singapore Straits Times stock index fell sharply, triggering a craze of market selling.
In response to the decline in the stock market, the real estate market immediately entered a severe winter. In addition, the multinational companies that originally planned to invest in expanding their factories also took back their wallets without hesitation.
Among them, the most severely damaged are those financial capitalists in North America.
As for Qingzhu Chemical, it seems that Qingzhu Chemical Group has been silent on this matter because it reached a relevant agreement with Xinghua News Agency and used the new oil industry chain as exchange of interests.
Singapore, a city-state where revolutionary supporters gathered, finally learned about the majesty of the Chinese Empire. Without even the government's actions, Liu Haoran could destroy the hope of the entire Singapore's future by simply using commercial means.
If the Kra Canal is the sword of Damocles on the head of Singapore, then the press conference held yesterday was to formally cut the thread that tied the sword.
The sword is falling rapidly, and a small country like Singapore cannot find even a little room for maneuvering and dodging.
The angry citizens organized a large-scale march to protest the so-called "Chinese imperialism". Words such as "same text and same species" and "brother Xiao Wall" were written on banners in huge Chinese characters, and the streets were everywhere.
I don’t know why these people got a huge portrait of Liu Haoran. After being vilified, they drew a red cross on their faces, and then carried them to the street to light the fire to vent their righteous indignation. Liu Haoran has also enjoyed the troubles of celebrities for a while.
The politicians were also panicked. The Singapore Prime Minister immediately made an emergency appointment with the Chinese ambassador to Singapore and asked whether Liu Haoran's statement was instructed by the China League Government.
The Chinese ambassador naturally gave a negative answer to this, saying that this is just the personal opinion of an entrepreneur. As for the friendship between China and Singapore... Oh, that's it, it's evergreen and immortal.
The businessmen have a wider range of channels. People who have had business contact with Liu Haoran called the phone directly to Liu Haoran's mobile phone, and tactfully advised him to give up his original intention.
"Everyone is good friends. Everything is easy to discuss."
Those who couldn't speak with Liu Haoran also found their partners in China, asked them to show their goodwill, and one by one expressed their willingness to become a bridge of friendship between China and Singapore.
Compared with the grammar of "you mainland tourists" that Liu Haoran frequently heard a few days ago, the most popular saying in Singapore has become "Everyone is their own people."
"What have you been doing? Now I think I am my own?" Liu Haoran looked through the newspaper he bought from the street and said to Shen Tian happily.
There are also many articles in the newspaper that attacked Liu Haoran himself, but Liu Haoran didn't care at all. Being scolded is also a symbol of status.
Shen Tian said with a bitter face: "I said Mr. Liu. You are so happy. Do you know how much pressure we have been under? Especially your statement of a big country has caused great passiveness to our diplomacy. Just wait to return to China and be criticized."
Liu Haoran curled his lips and said, "What's the matter with diplomacy? I'm just an ordinary business owner, I have freedom of speech. It's better for the country to not recognize what I say represents the will of the country. Singapore is said to be a democratic country. Isn't a business owner allowed to say something he is interested in?"
"Just just poke a leak for me." Chen Tian said hatefully, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have brought you out."
Liu Haoran smiled and said, "Haha. If you don't bring me out, won't I come out by myself? The Kra Canal is an international tender project. Our Xinghua News Agency intends to invest, but the country can't control it, right? Besides, whether it is not invested or not, it's a two-word question. I just expressed my intention. In this world, I think there are many things that are interested."
Chen Tiandao: "If you like a big girl or a little wife, you are interested in developing a close relationship with others, I will not bother you. But your current intention has directly smashed the Singapore stock market. Throughout history, who has the intention to be more lethal than yours?"
"They messed with me first!" Liu Haoran said proudly, "I have given them a chance. If they could give me a good face and say a few soft words ten days ago, I wouldn't have taken such a harsh action. Now, it's too late."
"Why, are you really planning to invest in the Kra Canal?" Chen Tian put away his joking expression and asked seriously.
Liu Haoran nodded and said, "Yes, our company's researchers have made a preliminary calculation and believe that investing in the Kara Canal is profitable. The Strait of Malacca has accumulated severely in recent years, the waterway has become shallower and navigational capacity has been declining. In addition, pirates are rampant, and there are ferries, fishing boats and other means of disturbing navigation procedures at sea. Many shipping companies are full of resentment about this waterway."
"In this case, the excavation of the Kara Canal will surely attract a large number of ships to pass, and the toll alone will be enough to recover the investment."
"But, can Xinghua News Agency raise so much money?" Chen Tian asked, "The investment in the entire canal requires 20 billion Huayuan. If you want to control the shares, you will have to raise at least more than 10 billion. Is your current working capital sufficient?"
Liu Haoran pondered for a while before saying, "The number of 20 billion is just a lion's mouth. The entire canal is 100 kilometers long, with an average construction cost of 200 million Chinese yuan per kilometer. Isn't this a robbery? Thailand's labor cost is not higher than that in China."
"In China, half of the cost of carrying out a project like this is used for land acquisition and demolition. I discussed it with Jilapeng. He said that the problem of land acquisition and demolition can be solved by the Thai government. After the canal is built, the land along the coast will appreciate significantly, which is also beneficial to the local people, so land acquisition will not be too difficult."
"In this way, we estimate that the investment in the entire project can be completely controlled within 10 billion Huayuan. We raise about 6 billion domestically. The Thai government will solve about 4 billion through fiscal and international financing, and complete this canal is no problem."
Chen Tian exclaimed: "How do you plan to raise this 6 billion? 6 billion Huayuan is not 60 yuan! Which bank may give you so many loans?"
"We can raise funds from the private sector," Liu Haoran thought for a while before saying, "I have called some domestic entrepreneurs and friends in the past two days. They all expressed interest in this project. Have you heard of Wang Mingtai? He expressed his willingness to give out 1 billion yuan, and said that this was just a trivial matter."
Wang Mingtai started his business in a small business and developed to go to the New Russian Federation to invest in arms. Over the years, his wealth has been accumulated. His net worth has reached 10 billion yuan and is also a well-known and successful person in China. Chen Tian naturally heard of him.
Not only have I heard of it, Chen Tian also knew that Wang Mingtai's first pot of gold was discovered by Liu Haoran for him, so Wang Mingtai and Liu Haoran have always had a very good personal relationship. He also trusted Liu Haoran's business vision very much.
Liu Haoran is optimistic about things and will attract Wang Mingtai to invest in it, but Wang Mingtai will definitely not refuse.
"You have been moved by him. I guess you have to slaughter other fat sheep, right?" Chen Tian asked with a smile. His wife is now the major shareholder of a large enterprise under Xinghua News Agency. If Liu Haoran wants to raise funds from his subsidiary, Chen Tian's wife will definitely know about it, but Chen Tian didn't care about asking about it.
Speaking of this, Liu Haoran was also very relaxed: "Many people in Xinghua News Agency are also interested in this matter. They also hope to diversify their business to avoid risks in a single market."
"However, the specific investment amount will be discussed after I return to China. In addition to the members of the society, I also plan to open up funds to the society. Now there is a lot of idle capital among the people. There is no investment channel. The Kra Canal is guaranteed by the Thai government. It is a relatively good project."
Chen Tian asked: "Haoran, why do I think? Are you illegally raising funds? Do you know how many years it will be sentenced to illegally raise 10 billion yuan?"
Liu Haoran was distracted: "Isn't the difference between illegality and legality the same issue of government authorization? It is impossible for the government to not support such a big thing, right? After I returned to China, I planned to talk to the people from the Strategic Committee and get a legal license."
"Haoran, if I were you, I wouldn't have gone to the staff of the Strategic Committee."
"Why?" Liu Haoran looked at Chen Tian with a strange look.
"I suggest that you deal with it in a low-key manner after you return to China and stay in Dongguan steadily. I can guarantee that within 2 weeks, the government will definitely send someone to Dongguan to ask you to come out to do this. At that time, you can pay whatever price you want, and the Strategic Committee will agree." Chen Tian smiled and revealed the answer.
"Haha, so that's it." Liu Haoran laughed knowingly.
Chen Tian could not understand what he said. Regarding the Kara Canal, the various statements of the Hualian government were only for international public opinion.
In fact, the Hualian government also hopes to solve the dilemma in Malacca by digging the Kara Canal.
Thailand is the biggest beneficiary of the Kra Canal project. The country, the Hualian government gave such a big cake to Thailand. It is impossible for Thailand to repay its kind words without giving it to others.
China and Thailand are neighboring countries, and Thailand is a regional power in Southeast Asia. The benefits that the Hualian government can obtain from this cooperation are by no means comparable to the cost of a canal.
For international political reasons, the Chinese federal government, as a national-level regime, is not convenient to directly interfere in the project of the Kra Canal. Now that Liu Haoran comes to the scene, it is a matter that he cannot afford.
As Chen Tian said, Liu Haoran should be waiting for the rabbit at this time, waiting for the government to come to the end, and the government should agree to the price of the government?
"So, our trip to Singapore is done. Can we set off and return home?" Liu Haoran asked.
Chen Tiandao: "I can only say that you have done your job. After I go back, I can't escape the writing check. No matter what, many of your remarks have really crossed the line."
"Chen Tian, I'm so embarrassed to implicate you." Liu Haoran quickly apologized. He was indeed a little casual about this matter.
Chen Tian shook his head: "Is it too late for you to be implicated now? Why don't you think about implicating me when you say those extreme remarks? But to be honest, I am very happy with what you said."
After leaving behind a sigh in Singapore, Liu Haoran and Shen Tian boarded the plane back home.
In order to avoid being recognized by Singaporeans at the airport and causing unnecessary trouble, Liu Haoran had to put on sunglasses and not take them off until he got on the plane. This made Chen Tian gloat.
Liu Haoran thought that maybe he could not go to Singapore again within the next 10 years. Maybe the Singapore Embassy would directly refuse the visa to him.
After returning to China, Chen Tian politely declined Liu Haoran's invitation to go to Xunyang for a few days and was in a hurry to return to Nanjing to report his work. As for whether he really wanted to make a review after he returned, Liu Haoran didn't know.
This trip to Singapore between Liu Haoran and Shen Tian was originally just to collect some information, but it caused a stir because of Liu Haoran's crazy words.
The Singapore stock market fell sharply for a week, and then fell down there and was unable to recover. This was not a trivial matter.
According to Chen Tian, the senior management generally appreciated the storm they caused in Singapore this time. After all, Singapore's consistent tough attitude towards China has already made the Hualian government disgusted.
In addition, being able to intervene in the Kara Canal in the name of the people gives China an additional choice to go out of the Indian Ocean is also strategically significant for the country.
Thailand has benefited the most from the Kara Canal. In order to promote the Chinese government's support for the project, Thailand has made a lot of commitments to China. These are naturally inappropriate.
Liu Haoran returned to Dongguan alone. Following Chen Tian's guidance, he did not take the initiative to go to the Strategic Committee to discuss the issue of financing the Kra Canal, and acted as if it was not related to his own affairs.
He believed that Thailand and the navy would go to the Planning and Strategic Committee to go to the Planning and Strategic Committee. Some people who are more anxious than him are that whoever can stand it will be able to obtain the most favorable negotiation conditions.
Liu Haoran should have calmed down in Dongguan for a while. Although Xinghua News Agency's construction sites are spread all over the world and its subsidiaries have opened dozens of domestic and foreign companies. However, Dongguan is still the most important base camp.
In the past two or three years, several new stalls have been opened here.
What attracted the most attention from Liu Haoran was naturally the construction of Huayang Microelectronics Company. The equipment purchased from the Guwen Club has been installed and debugged. The older generation of electronic engineers, along with a group of young and strong men with an average age of 28, are designing and producing the first batch of industrial control chips day and night.
Technically speaking, this batch of chips is only equivalent to the level of international chip giants such as Wanhe Electronics five years ago, but after all, it is the first batch of products of Huayang Heavy Industry Group.
Liu Haoran has full confidence. With the strength of the group, as long as he achieves a zero breakthrough, it will only be a matter of time before he can catch up with the world's first-class one.
Hanyang Automobile Company has also been completed, and the first batch of trial-produced cars will be offline. The technical team of this automobile company was brought out by Liu Haoran's brother-in-law from the design office of a large state-owned enterprise, and they are also a group of young people with strong spirits.
According to themselves, this state-owned enterprise is only obsessed with making money all day long and does not care about the research and development of new products and new processes.
Unable to bear it, these people collectively "defected" under the leadership of someone. Huayang Heavy Industry accepted them with open arms and granted them full authority to design independent brand cars.
How could these young people who have been stubborn for a long time not to be able to get such a broad stage? They took out a full set of design drawings in less than a year.
In addition to the engine and the transmission temporarily need to be purchased, everything else can be solved by itself. However, Liu Haoran's brother-in-law also patted his chest to assure Liu Haoran, his brother-in-law, that within two years, the two major problems of engine and gearbox will definitely be solved.
Huayang Heavy Industry Group itself is engaged in equipment manufacturing, and almost all the equipment produced by automobiles can be provided. The Wuhan Municipal Government has also provided strong support for this project, asking people to give people and land to land.
So almost at the same time as the new car design was completed, a domestic and international first-class automobile production line has been completed.
Huayang Chemical Equipment Company's business is getting bigger and bigger. In addition to traditional fertilizers and petrochemicals, it also involves pharmaceutical chemicals, fine chemicals, coal chemicals and other fields.
Especially for equipment like coal liquefaction, a set of output value of billions of dollars is definitely huge profits.
Equipment like this is not something that any company can do if it wants. There are only a few high-pressure-resistant forgings in China that can be made. This requires processing under large hydraulic presses. This barrier in equipment has discouraged countless competitors.
It is precisely because of this kind of strength that Liu Haoran has the confidence to convince Yi Zhongming and let him stand on his own side on the issue of Singapore.
The Liu family and his son were wandering around the branches, listening to the executives of each company introducing themselves to the business situation, technological innovation, etc., and their mood was like an old farmer watching the harvest of crops.
These are all the throne he has built, and now it is very large in scale.
After waiting in Dongguan for more than two months, Liu Haoran finally waited for Zhu An, a commissioner appointed by the government strategy. He came to discuss the matter of the Kara Canal with Liu Haoran.
Zhu An delayed it for more than two months, not to compete with Liu Haoran in order to compete with his patience, but because of such a big event, many details need to be implemented, and some of the more sensitive policy issues that require repeated meetings to be discussed and decided.
Now, the Hualian government's overall idea of the Kra Canal project has been clear, so Zhu An sent north to Dongguan to meet Liu Haoran. To be continued...
