Instead of feeling excited about Zhou Hao's words, Pang Jinting frowned deeply. Getting rid of the plight of the Chinese in Indonesia and improving the social status of the Chinese in Indonesia was something that Pang Jinting and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce had been unable to do for decades.
Pang Jinting didn't believe that a weak young man like Zhou Hao could do it, even though he had a close relationship with the Zhao family.
Seeing Pang Jinting's reaction, Zhou Hao guessed that he didn't believe what he said. But Zhou Hao was not anxious or angry, but smiled and said: "Mr. Pang, since the Indonesian Chinese Chamber of Commerce is helping Suharto and his
The family handles those huge sums of money, so you must have a lot of evidence of Suharto's corruption."
Pang Jinting snorted: "Actually, the corruption of Suharto's old bastard is not a secret at all, but he controls the Indonesian army and is also a dictator. No one dares to expose him. We do have a lot of information and
Evidence, but what's the use? Before Suharto's strong political power and military power, these evidences didn't work at all."
Zhou Hao leaned back in his chair and said to Pang Jinting with a smile: "Mr. Pang, you are very familiar with the situation in Indonesia, so I think you also know that Suharto is not popular among the people now. Due to the military's massive interference in politics and
In the economic field, the harm caused has made the Indonesian people deeply disgusted."
He stretched out his index finger and said: "If what I say turns out to be true, and Indonesia really becomes the starting point of the second wave of the financial crisis, then in the context of a sharp economic recession, the Indonesian people will have strong support for Suharto and the government.
The dissatisfaction will definitely burst out immediately."
This is also the main reason why Suharto used anti-Chinese incidents to divert public attention.
"At that time, if all the evidence of corruption by Suharto and his family were exposed, then Suharto would have no hope of staying in office and would have to step down," Zhou Hao said.
Pang Jinting deeply believed what Zhou Hao said. If what Zhou Hao said really happened, then Suharto would most likely be kicked out. He said: "However, even if Suharto steps down, the successor
Isn’t the person in the position of president someone who hates Chinese people? No one with powerful positions in Indonesian politics and the military today has a pro-China attitude.”
Zhou Hao nodded, and what Pang Jinting said did indeed exist. Before and after Suharto stepped down in the previous life, Indonesia's political circles and the military were all vying for the position of president, especially the military, which already had huge power in Indonesia.
The final representative is Lieutenant General Prabowo, Suharto's son-in-law, commander of the Army Strategic Reserve Force, and former commander of the special forces. During the anti-Chinese incident in 1998, it was Prabowo who fought for the presidency.
By creating chaos, Wiranto, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces who also wanted to be president, could not restore law and order in the capital, so that Prabowo could force Suharto to declare martial law and then take control of the situation.
At the same time, this can also embarrass Habibie, Suharto's political opponent and Suharto's adopted son.
Prabowo, Wiranto and Habibie are not politicians who are friendly to the Chinese. If they are allowed to take control of the Indonesian government, the situation of the Chinese will not be improved in any way. Especially Prabowo, if
If he is in power, life for the Chinese will probably be even more difficult.
Zhou Hao asked Pang Jinting: "Mr. Pang, if Suharto steps down, who do you think is most likely to take over as president?"
I saw Pang Jinting holding out four fingers: "There are four people most likely to take over as president, first of all, Wiranto and Prabowo. Wiranto is the Commander-in-Chief of the Indonesian Armed Forces, and Prabowo is the Army Strategic Reserve Force
commander, and he was also Suharto's son-in-law.
The military has great influence. I think that although Wiranto is young, his ambition and power are very deep. If he wins the position of president, he may become the second Suharto Putin.
Not to mention Rabowo, if he becomes president, he will be even more brutal than Suharto."
"The third one is Megawati, the daughter of former President Sukarno. Although she is a woman, she is very outstanding in handling interpersonal relationships and creating a personal image." Pang Jinting said: "As for the last one, it is Suharto.
His adopted son, Habibi, has a chance to compete for the position of president. It is not because of his outstanding personal abilities, but because he has no abilities and a weak character. Therefore, the guys in the cabinet want to control him to win it.
president and then use him as a puppet."
Zhou Hao also has a certain understanding of Megawati. This strong woman is the fifth president of Indonesia and is very popular in Indonesia. However, Zhou Hao does not like Megawati, at least at this stage. Megawati
Ti did not have enough courage to clean up the mess left by Suharto, nor did he have the strong hand to suppress the Indonesian military.
When she succeeded Wahid as the fifth president of Indonesia, the Indonesian military's power had weakened a lot after being "baptized" by Wahid.
If the development of the previous life is followed, Habibie will succeed Suharto as the president of Indonesia, making Prabowo's presidential dream finally shattered. But Habibie became Wiranto's string doll, and then, the sudden rise of Vashi
De defeated Wiranto to become Indonesia's fourth president.
In Zhou Hao's mind, the most suitable candidate to serve as President of Indonesia is Wahid.
Because Wahid had a better attitude towards Chinese people than others, he abolished many anti-Chinese policies after he came to power and allowed Chinese Indonesians to return to Chinese names. He was hailed as the savior of Chinese Indonesians. Moreover, Wahid’s own ancestors also
Chinese.
Of course Zhou Hao does not think that Wahid's kindness to the Chinese is a selfless act. All politicians are not selfless, they are all to achieve their own goals.
He even wondered whether the reason why Wahid abolished the anti-Chinese policy was to get assistance from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. If this was the case, then the Chinese Chamber of Commerce would probably have been in contact with Wahid now.
So Zhou Hao immediately asked Pang Jinting: "Mr. Pang, do you know a man named Wahid?"
"Wahid?" Pang Jinting said: "I do know a Wahid, who is the chairman of the Indonesian Teachers' Federation and is now a member of the Indonesian People's Consultative Assembly."
Zhou Hao nodded repeatedly: "That's him."
Pang Jinting asked doubtfully: "Brother Zhou, do you know him?"
"I have heard of him and know that he has a high reputation among Indonesian religious believers," Zhou Hao said.
Pang Jinting nodded and said: "Brother Zhou, I won't hide it from you. In fact, this Wahid is one of the many politicians that our Chamber of Commerce has deliberately attracted. He was able to be re-elected as the chairman of the Teachers' Federation before, and it was also from our Chamber of Commerce.
Great strength."
Zhou Hao was also pleasantly surprised when he heard this. Pang Jinting and the others had indeed been on the line with Wahid. But now it seems that Pang Jinting and the others did not pay much attention to Wahid, but only regarded him as a politician who could be won over.
And Zhou Hao did not intend to tell Pang Jinting that Wahid would become the president of Indonesia, because this kind of "prophecy" was his own advantage, and Zhou Hao wanted to use this kind of foresight to maximize his own interests.
"Pang Lao, let's not talk about this for now. Now we all have a consensus that the financial crisis will hit Indonesia again, and Indonesia's economy will definitely collapse. In this case, shouldn't we make plans early and take advantage of it?
To get the maximum benefit." Zhou Hao said with a smile.
Pang Jinting said with great interest: "Brother Zhou, what do you think?"
"My idea? Haha, I can't take it seriously." Zhou Hao said with a smile: "But I speculate that when the financial crisis hits Indonesia again, not only the Indonesian stock market will plummet, but the Indonesian rupiah will also completely collapse. So, I want to add two
Set fire and take advantage of the falling exchange rate of the Indonesian rupiah to make a profit. To be honest with you, Mr. Pang, I have already loaned a large amount of Indonesian rupiah from Indonesian banks through operations and gradually converted it into US dollars."
Pang Jinting raised his eyebrows. If the Indonesian rupiah really fell, Zhou Hao would be able to make huge profits from it.
Most of the funds held by the Indonesian Chinese Chamber of Commerce are originally US dollars, not Indonesian rupiahs. Compared with Indonesian rupiahs, US dollars are more secure. Therefore, even if the Indonesian rupiah falls sharply, it will not have much impact on Pang Jinting and others.
However, Pang Jinting also owns a bank. If the Indonesian rupiah falls sharply, he will suffer heavy losses.
Zhou Hao said: "Pang Lao, if you also run a bank in Indonesia, then I advise you to convert all the deposits in your bank into US dollars, and at the same time lend Indonesian rupiah to other banks and convert it into US dollars, so that in Indonesian rupiah
When there is a big drop, not only do you not lose anything, you can also make a lot of money.”
But Pang Jinting frowned and said, "But if this is the case, doesn't it mean that all the money of the Indonesian people has been stolen?"
Zhou Hao shook his head: "I believe that many of the people depositing money in your bank are Chinese Indonesians. Think about it, if your bank suffers heavy losses, they won't be the ones who suffer in the end? You are protecting them. As for other Indonesians, even if
We can't prevent the financial crisis from happening if we don't do anything. We might as well profit from it as much as possible. Besides, aren't your Chinese chambers of commerce still investing locally? With more money, you can rebuild society better.
ah."
Speaking of this, Zhou Hao sneered: "Moreover, don't the Indonesians say that the Chinese control their economy? Then simply control their economy as they wish. If you want to gain political power or even military power, it is
