"I called you here without eating. I’m sorry, I just made amends for this meal. What do you think?" There is affinity and majesty in Wang Yi’s tone, which makes him doubt it.
"Then I’d better do it respectfully." Chen Bo picked up the bowl and you’re welcome. In recent days, Southeast Asia has been hot to death, but he tried a lot of local snacks, but the taste is not flattering. Now the table is still red and bright. If it weren’t for courtesy, it would have been everywhere.
"This is the day when the embassy cooks grow some fresh vegetables. Everything in this place is good, but vegetables and fruits are too expensive or delicious."
Just a few days ago, I suggested to Julie to grow vegetables in the garden. Today, I met the embassy’s love for land, which is really ashamed of the ancient farming culture. It is definitely a natural skill
"Well, good! Have a taste of hometown! " How can this embassy chef be regarded as a facade? There’s still nothing to say about the craftsmanship.
"What I miss most about foreign workers all the year round is the soil and water in my hometown. Although I don’t have time to go back, at least there is a taste of my hometown that can satisfy my yearning for my hometown." Wang Yi picked up a piece of boiled beef and sighed, "I was born in Japanese and worked as a counselor here for five years. I don’t know much about Japan than I do."
"oh? Then tell me about it. "Chen Bo knows that he has something to say on the sidewalk.
"Japanese are conservative and unified. Foreigners want to get local jobs, but it is difficult to integrate into the whole society without being isolated, especially in business. They have strong confidence in their own brands. To expand this market, it will take time to break the cultural conflict barrier and make friends with them. Some France can work, but it won’t work here."
"Well, you’re right."
"But what you are doing now is very good. Instead of blindly coming in, you chose the localization strategy to let people who know more about Japan run it."
"I’m ashamed. I’m just trying to be clever."
"Can you play golf?" Then Wang yi added
"A little" Chen Bo didn’t answer. What exactly does this ambassador mean?
"The other day, I made an appointment with the head of the Chinese Association to introduce you to each other. Once you are all compatriots, you have to help each other. It’s not good to be a lone hero."
Wang Yi finally talked about some dry goods for a long time. There are more than one million Japanese because they are close neighbors, and there are more natural immigrants. These can make him rich, and Chinese people like to hold groups and forests, and there are more associations.
"I heard that you set up a branch in Southeast Asia in Kuala Lumpur?" Wang Yi added
"Just came from there today" Chen Bo nods.
"Why not choose Singapore?"
"Why choose Singapore!" Chen Bo doesn’t understand
"Tell me your opinion" Wang Yi gave him a meaningful look.
"Singapore has a good geographical location and a large Chinese population, but the international community tends to western politics and local education has been trying to sinicize. The official languages are Malay and English, and a strong government will touch Nanyang University when it doesn’t know. Things are still vivid today."
"You know a lot, but you can see the surface. Chen Liushi is a successful businessman and a patriotic overseas Chinese, but his political sensitivity is worse." Wang Yixiao laughed.
"So he is still wrong?"
"He is right and Lee Kuan Yew is right. It is the time and the way."
"I’m not Taibai"
"Then I’ll make up a political education lesson with you." Wang Yi took out a bowl of rice and wiped her mouth with a tissue. "At that time, Southeast Asia was still a colonial independence movement, and the wind blew all over the ball. After World War II, Britain had no spare energy to continue to control Southeast Asia, Malaysia, the main Muslim country, and Singapore, a Chinese country, was not allowed to be kicked out."
Chapter seventy-four Guiding public opinion
"At that time, Singapore didn’t even have an army, but it still begged the British army to withdraw two years later to maintain local law and order. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Lee Kuan Yew’s first thing was to deprive Chen Liushi of his citizens and declare Nanyang University illegal. What do you know?"
"What?"
"You can see how big Singapore is. The overall area is less than half of Hong Kong Island, surrounded by Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus. It is not easy for him to take his own road. He needs people to have more national identity and introduce foreign capital to revitalize Singapore. He belongs to the Chinese in the Taiwan Strait and is integrated into the local area. The second generation is educated by the West. Chen Liushi is the first generation of Chinese!"
In the future, without Wang Yi’s explanation, he also knew about the historical development. This is a historical case-solving, which is a long story and a sensitive topic that Singapore can’t even touch.
Chen Liushi, a patriotic overseas Chinese who was poor as a child and ranked sixth as a teenager in Minnan, went to Chen Jiageng school and later went to Nanyang to join the Chen Jiageng company. Needless to say, he later developed from scratch into the president of the Southeast Asian rubber king, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
Whether Chinese go to the East or the West, it is somewhat family-funded, mainly for the purpose of study, but most of them go to Nanyang, where poor families have created a large family business through their own efforts and hard work, and they are also the most United group of Chinese.
However, at this time, the Chinese have been well-educated by two factions. The second generation said that the Chinese in the Taiwan Strait have been integrated into the local society. These self-made ambassadors are all Chinese with a deep motherland complex. During the Anti-Japanese War, they enthusiastically donated money and materials. Many old people sent themselves back to China to join the army. The "Nanqiao Machinist Anti-Japanese Monument" on the road leading to Myanmar in southern Yunnan tells the story of this period.
Influenced by Chen Jiageng, President Chen Liushi also wants to set up a university, but it is not China but Singapore that wants to keep the blood vessels of Chinese in Nanyang from being assimilated and has contributed 50,000 yuan. This is a huge sum of money, which is enough to build ten local libraries, and local Chinese have enthusiastically donated money to rich families and thousands of rickshaw pullers and prostitutes, and women have responded to the call for charity sale. The income department has donated it to the foundation to build universities, and the Chinese in Nanyang can get more education.
It was the 1950 s, and the British government naturally disagreed, but they had already tried their best to turn a blind eye. They simply set up Nanyang University Co., Ltd. to run a school in this name and invited Lin Yutang, an internationally renowned literary master, to be the principal.
Of course, this is also a stain on Mr. Lin’s life, so he will not sue again if he is in danger of dying.
At the same time, Lee Kuan Yew is a Chinese seeking more political status. The Malaysian Federation is a water Muslim. Naturally, he doesn’t like you as a Chinese main group. Just kick out of the Federation and play independently.
However, Lee Kuan Yew is under great pressure. After losing Malaysia’s protection, how can this road go? 75% of the population is Chinese, but all they think about is the mainland. Singapore, the motherland, was a poor country at that time. What do you want, a place the size of a palm? If you want to develop, you must rely on foreign capital, and you must let more people receive English education, otherwise no one can do the work of a foreign company when foreign capital comes.
At the same time, India, Pakistan, Myanmar, the Philippines and other countries have established independent countries, and the Chinese University has also been established on Hong Kong Island.
If you want to be stable, you must maintain the stability of the surrounding environment. The official language is Malay, and the status of Chinese is not as good as Tamil. The Chinese primary and secondary schools taught in the whole city go to Sinicization to enhance the national identity. Now the independent founding of the country is not a former colonial game. You, Ambassador Chen, still rely on yourself as the president to promote Chinese education and openly confront you.
It is also particularly important that Nanyang University not only learns Chinese, but also learns the spirit of the Cultural Revolution, which really touches the eyebrows 3.
From the Chinese point of view, Lee Kuan Yew has done too much, but from the whole country of Singapore, he is right.
What can an Xiao Pi country do? It is the truth to survive in the gap between the right and the left, and then suffocate and make a fortune. This is the only overseas Chinese government that is gradually drifting away from the motherland. Of course, he also has his own car-scrapping times when he insisted on the East and the West. It is not attached to anger, but a small country is a small country, and no matter how hard it is, it is still a cat rather than a tiger.
Thinking that Chen Bo gradually understood Wang Yi’s position, and a certain government subjectively looked at Singapore as a traitor, but it was also forced.
"Although it’s a tiny place and a military fortress, the six-hour flight from Singapore is his economic radiation circle, which even covers Yanjing." Wang Yi added, "Your country can keep a low profile, that’s right, but foreign countries must keep a high profile. Singapore is very important. All cargo ships from the Middle East, Africa and Europe must pass through the Straits of Malacca. The developed economy is born with the conditions to develop the Internet. The motherland needs you to bring this city."
"This is politics? ！”
"No, this is what the motherland expects of you, and local Chinese will be happy to welcome you."
What an old fox! This diplomat is a clever schemer, Chen Boxin said
