Hearing Zhou Hao's words, Suharto immediately thought that he wanted to take advantage of his wealth. Pretending to be casual, he quietly put his hand into his trouser pocket and said at the same time: "I don't understand what you are talking about. I
I have been working hard for the prosperity and stability of Indonesia all my life, and I am honest and fair, so how can I have so much money?"
Even in his two lifetimes, Zhou Hao has never seen a person be so shameless. Zhou Hao sincerely admired people like Suharto who had no sense of shame. He smiled at Suharto and said:
"Suharto, you don't have to waste your efforts. I know you
There is a transmitter on your body that can let your subordinates know your whereabouts. However, let alone the radio wave jammer we have installed here, you will not be able to contact the outside at all. Also, even if your subordinates know that you are there
I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do here.”
Seeing that Zhou Hao had immediately seen through his intentions, Suharto couldn't help being shocked.
I saw Zhou Hao sitting leisurely on the sofa next to Pang Jinting, and a servant immediately brought him fragrant tea. Zhou Hao smiled at the stunned Suharto: "If you are sensible, you can hand over your money."
Coming out can be regarded as making some amends for the crimes you have committed in the past few decades, otherwise, hehehe..."
"Most of this old beast's money is placed in Swiss banks, as well as those banks in South America controlled by drug lords that are very convenient for money laundering." Pang Jinting said, their chamber of commerce has been helping the Suharto family launder money for a long time, so
He was very clear about Suharto’s situation: “But let him go”
Those in the bank are just ordinary currencies, totaling about five to six billion U.S. dollars. His greatest wealth is his shares in monopolies in Indonesia's telecommunications, mining, construction, roads, ports, oil and other monopolies. It is conservatively estimated that the total
It’s worth around $12 billion.”
Although Suharto could not understand Chinese, he also knew that Pang Jinting had told Zhou Hao about his financial situation, so he immediately rushed towards Pang Jinting and shouted at the same time: "Pang Jinting, I will destroy you!"
Two "First Army" men immediately held down his shoulders, preventing him from moving.
"Brother Zhou, although our chamber of commerce helps this old beast launder money, this old beast does not fully trust us, so we only have access to part of his money, and some of it is handed over to the Lee Kuan Yew family in Singapore for management.
." Pang Jinting said to Zhou Hao: "Actually, it's not just the old beast Suharto, Indonesia, Malaysia
Many gangsters in Asia, Thailand, and the Philippines have handed over their embezzled money to the Lee family for laundering, as well as the shady black money. In fact, Temasek Holdings, controlled by the Lee Kuan Yew family, is the largest money laundering organization in Southeast Asia.
Even some armed organizations and mafia in the Middle East and Western Europe are their customers."
The corner of Zhou Hao's lips raised: "I have heard a little bit about this matter. In fact, Singapore, a city-state, has developed by laundering money for others."
In his previous life, Zhou Hao had a certain understanding of the Lee Kuan Yew family and the Temasek Holdings controlled by them. Temasek Holdings is the largest company in Singapore and controls dozens of Singaporean state-owned enterprises, as well as hundreds of other subsidiaries.
, its total assets amount to US$50 billion, and the assets it controls exceed US$100 billion. It can be said that Singapore’s
Most of the economy is supported by Temasek Holdings. Moreover, Temasek's investment scope is far from limited to Singapore. Even in China, the real estate company wholly owned by Temasek is one of the few large companies in China's real estate industry.
, no less than Huang Vanke’s Huangshi Group. Even in the United States, Japan and Europe, there are many companies invested by Temasek.
However, like Suharto in Indonesia, Singapore is also completely under the rule of the Lee family. Moreover, the Lee family's rule over Singapore is much stronger than Suharto's rule over Indonesia. Lee Kuan Yew is also far behind
He was far more far-sighted than Suharto, and his political skills were both iron-blooded and tough, and full of tact and sophistication. He was even more adept at using intrigues and tricks, and he completely inherited the Chinese people's characteristic of being "good at fighting."
Singapore is actually the kingdom of the Lee family, and Temasek Holdings is actually the inner treasury of the Lee family, including Lee Kuan Yew's two sons Lee Hsien Loong and Lee Hsien Yang, as well as Lee Hsien Loong's wife, who all hold high positions in it.
However, Singapore has become one of the richest countries in Asia, and Lee Kuan Yew is the biggest contributor. If placed in a feudal society, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a wise king who governed the country, even if he used any means to achieve his goals.
Moreover, Lee Kuan Yew's eldest son Lee Hsien Loong will take over the position of Prime Minister of Singapore in 2004. Just like the Kim family in North Korea, the country has always been under the control of one family.
Pang Jinting said solemnly: "Temasek's strength is much stronger than our Indonesian Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Even the Chinese chambers of commerce in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines combined may not have the strength of Temasek. All along,
'Temasek' is with us
The competition in Indonesia is very fierce. If we had not relied on our local advantages, we would have been beaten by Temasek. If we want to gain political power here in Indonesia and become the mainstream of the Indonesian economy, Temasek
'It will be a big obstacle."
Zhou Hao also believed this, because although Lee Kuan Yew could not be said to support Suharto and other anti-China forces against the Chinese, his attitude towards the Chinese government and its political stance were very disgusting to Zhou Hao.
In China, many people are dissatisfied with the Party, but after all, the Party is China's ruling party and represents China's political power. However, Lee Kuan Yew is a very typical activist and has a lot of hostility towards China. Moreover,
, his character is not very good either. In the original history, Indonesia
When the anti-Chinese uprising occurred in 1998, Singapore claimed that it was fully open to flights to Indonesia and would accept Chinese Indonesians to seek refuge there. But in fact, if Chinese Indonesians really wanted to seek refuge in Singapore, they would have to pay millions of dollars.
Immigration investment funds, also known as “entry tickets”.
Therefore, Singapore welcomes immigrants, often only wealthy Chinese, hoping that they can bring their wealth to Singapore.
Today, not only Pang Jinting and the Chinese Indonesians want to gain enough political power to protect themselves, but China also hopes that the Chinese can become the dominant force in Indonesia's politics and economy. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to make Pang Jinting and others
The economic strength of the Indonesian Chinese headed by them has increased, making it easier to gain political power. In view of Lee Kuan Yew's political stance, and China is not willing to let others snatch Indonesia's piece of cake from itself, in this case, it will have to fight with Temasek Holdings.
It was a struggle.
"The best result is that we completely control Indonesia's economy and minimize Temasek's influence in Indonesia, or directly drive Temasek out of Indonesia!" Zhou Hao said with squinted eyes.
As for the tempting piece of Indonesian cake, if China gets it, Zhou Hao's share will be indispensable. It is related to his own interests, so he is sparing no effort as he is now.
"I object." The person who raised the objection was Li Shuihan.
Zhou Hao and Pang Jinting both looked at her and heard her say: "'Temasek' owns many companies in the country and is inextricably linked to the domestic economy. Their role in our country's economy cannot be underestimated. If we let them know
Knowing that China is involved in this Indonesian turmoil and driving them out of Indonesia will probably make them dissatisfied. There is no guarantee that they will not withdraw their investment in our country in anger, and even affect our diplomatic relations with Singapore.
"
"Huh huh huh... Our country's economy is developing so fast now, and the prospects are extremely huge. I don't believe that Lee Kuan Yew would be so stupid to withdraw investment." Zhou Hao sneered: "As for diplomatic relations, that's even more important.
There is no need to worry. It’s just Singapore. Even if diplomatic relations are broken off, it’s them who are afraid of affecting their relations, not our country. Moreover, without Suharto, the largest customer, Indonesia’s money laundering market will be a big problem for Lee Kuan Yew.
It becomes dispensable.”
After a pause, Zhou Hao continued: "I know that Lee Kuan Yew also took a fancy to the Indonesian monopolies controlled by Suharto, but now that we have come in, can we still allow them to interfere?"
What the central government and Zhou Hao value most are Indonesia's monopoly industries, especially the development of mineral resources such as oil and natural gas in Indonesia. This is why the central government secretly sent troops to eradicate Suharto, Wiranto and others and support them.
The most direct reason is that Wahid and Pang Jinting are the spokespersons of interests. Therefore, how could the central government and Zhou Hao allow Lee Kuan Yew to get involved in this restricted area.
"President Pang, don't worry, I can assure you now that the central government will definitely agree to help you drive Temasek out of Indonesia." Zhou Hao smiled and said: "Fourth Leader, in terms of military and assault, you
He is a great expert, but I think he is not as good as you, but when it comes to economics, forget it."
"You..." Li Shuihan's face darkened, and he folded his hands and said, "Anyway, I am opposed to fighting against Temasek."
Zhou Hao took it for granted that Li Shuihan's objection this time was just a habitual act against him, and he didn't care. He just smiled and said: "It's useless for you to object. As long as the order from the central government comes down, it will be difficult for 'Temasek' to gain a foothold in Indonesia."
