Volume 12, The Wave Stopping the Flying Boat, Section 51, Indonesian Chinese Capital
Lu Weimin lightly scribbled on the white paper, Western Song Expressway, Song Yi Expressway, and if Shuangxi Expressway is added to it, then the second economic axis of Changjiang Province has been formed, but now Changqing Expressway and Changqing Expressway
The Kunming Expressway has been completed and opened to traffic, and the Changluo Expressway is about to be built. The so-called second economic axis is still just a drawing on paper. However, Lu Weimin is not depressed. As long as the opportunity comes, he has great confidence in promoting the development of this economic axis.
start up.
He dare not talk about the Xishuang Expressway. After all, the economic level of Changxi Autonomous Prefecture is too low, the GDP of Xiliang area is not high, the economic exchanges between the two regions are not close, and investors also need to pay attention to the rate of return, so this expressway
The highways will have to wait a while, but the Xisong Expressway and Songyi Expressway are undoubtedly very interesting. His confidence comes from the Lin family of Far East Industrial.
In fact, from the initial stage of the Asian financial crisis in the second half of 1997, Lu Weimin sent a warning to the Lin family of Far East Industries through Zhuoer, Lin Hexiang, Lin Hewen and others, reminding them that some bureaucratic families in Indonesia wanted to divert the conflicts of the lower classes.
The Chinese who are relatively wealthy in Indonesia but have no sense of political presence will be used as scapegoats, and it is suggested that they should consider diversifying the transfer of family members and assets to dilute the risks.
The Lin family has been working in Southeast Asia for many years, especially Indonesia, which is their home base. It is unrealistic and not what the Lin family wants to transfer all their assets in a short period of time. However, Lu Weimin and the Lin family are in Shuangfeng and Futou.
The cooperation was very pleasant, and Lu Weimin also left a deep impression on several core members of the Lin family. Therefore, although they did not fully agree with Lu Weimin's reminder, they also felt that there was a certain possibility.
Especially after Lu Weimin hinted that he had reliable connections in some powerful departments in Beijing and obtained some more accurate connections, the Lin family also showed a certain degree of attention. In addition, He Keng also gained some control through some connections in Hong Kong.
The information was provided to the Lin family, and the Lin family began to really pay attention to this possibility. Coupled with Far East Industrial's domestic investment, Tianhu Biotechnology in particular has achieved quite good results. And the business opportunities in the mainland have also become more and more important.
The problem is becoming more and more apparent, so the Lin family was originally planning to increase investment in the mainland, but now it is just accelerating the progress.
So starting from the second half of 1997, the Lin family began to transfer some assets to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, but the most important transfer direction was Hong Kong. At the same time, it also transferred some assets to some Chinese who had close business contacts with the Lin family.
The family issued some suggestions, and some Chinese families who were closely related to the Lin family accepted the Lin family's opinions and made some preparations. Of course, some of them disagreed.
This asset transfer trend continued from the second half of 1997 to May 1998. Fortunately, asset transfer and capital flows within ASEAN are basically unrestricted, and Hong Kong, as the most important free trade port in Asia and even the world, has always been
Southeast Asia is where Chinese capital gathers, so this did not cause Indonesian domestic intervention.
Before Black May, Lu Weimin specifically reminded the Lin family and their business partners to pay attention to the safety of their people and assets in Indonesia, and suggested that if their property cannot be transferred temporarily, they can entrust it to trustworthy Indonesian locals.
, especially in the Jakarta area, and falsely claimed to have obtained secret information from the US Central Intelligence Agency. The domestic pro-democracy forces and radical forces in Indonesia will be entangled together to plan attacks on Chinese Indonesians.
It must be said that the power of the CIA is huge. Although the Lin family and their business partners were still a little skeptical before, when Lu Weimin swore that the news was definitely top secret information from the CIA,
He Keng even directly stated that he had obtained information from within Indonesia that the highest-level Indonesian military personnel were also actively involved in the planning, with the intention of seeking political and economic benefits. The plan for the attack to be launched by collusion between the pro-democracy forces and radical forces had been determined.
The probability is as high as more than 70%. This news still made the Lin family and some of their business partners feel huge fear. Therefore, in addition to stepping up the transfer of some important assets, more importantly, they quietly transferred a large number of family members
Moved to Singapore and Thailand in the name of tourism and inspection.
The Black May incident in Jakarta proved the accuracy of Lu Weimin's information. This also completely won the trust and gratitude of the Lin family and many important business partner families. If it were not for these Chinese families in the past two months,
They are all busy dealing with the aftermath in Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore. Important members of these families have to fly to China in person to meet with Lu Weimin.
Although he did not have time to meet with important members of the Lin family and its partner families, Lu Weimin still discussed on the phone with some members of the Lin family about the next investment intention of transferring funds from Indonesia.
The opinion given by Lu Weimin is that investing in industry is certainly a good thing, and the profits can be quite generous. However, it requires a relatively strong professional background and evaluation judgment, and it also requires taking considerable risks. Therefore, he suggested that these Chinese capitals should consider setting up some investment funds.
, cooperate with some domestic professional capital to enter the industry, but a better and more timely place is to look for opportunities to enter infrastructure construction projects, because domestic economic development will have a relatively long-term period of improvement, and the infrastructure that restricts domestic economic development
Construction, especially transportation and energy, is in urgent need of development. Investing in these infrastructure projects will yield a long-term and generous return.
Energy is subject to national policies, and it is not yet mature for foreign funds to enter this field. However, in the field of transportation, the country has begun to lift the ban, especially in some areas with relatively backward transportation infrastructure. The local party committees and governments are welcoming and investing in transportation.
Infrastructure projects may not have high short-term returns, but on the one hand, they can obtain long-term returns. Secondly, they can establish good political and business relationships with local party committees and governments in China and expand their network resources. Thirdly, it is easier to acquire equity in transportation infrastructure projects in China.
It is easier to obtain recognition from financial institutions, finance or transfer. Si Lai can familiarize yourself with the situation and lay the foundation for further entry into the country, including other industrial fields, and is the most appropriate channel at the moment.
Several core members of the Lin family also basically agreed with Lu Weimin's views and expressed that they would carefully study Lu Weimin's opinions. But now the opportunity has come so quickly. Ma Sihan's words undoubtedly revealed the Changjiang Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government's attitude towards foreign capital.
We welcome participation in the construction of transportation infrastructure in the province, which is a great opportunity for Songzhou.
Lu Weimin estimates that the capital withdrawn by the Lin family from Indonesia will not be less than US$1 billion. The Lin family owns two banks and a large department store in Jakarta, which were all greatly affected by Black May. Although they had done so before
Fully prepared, but it still caused some losses. At the same time, the Lin family has a large number of plantations and farms in Indonesia, and also invested in some mines, ports and other infrastructure. The transfer that took more than half a year can only transfer part of it, which is easier to realize.
After experiencing this round of impact, the Lin family is estimated to still retain more than US$500 million in assets in Indonesia.
The withdrawal of one billion US dollars is the most important thing for the Lin family to choose a more secure investment direction. Lu Weimin believes that the Lin family will make a wise decision, and as a person who has close and good cooperation with the Lin family
Domestic government officials who have experienced and gained their absolute trust undoubtedly have a huge advantage. Lu Weimin believes that both in public and private matters, the Lin family will tend to cooperate with him, not to mention that other people still do not understand the withdrawal of these Chinese families in Indonesia.
Even if you understand the capital situation, it will be difficult to win the trust of these Chinese families in a short period of time.
It was close to six o'clock when Lu Weimin returned to Yujing Nanyuan. He drank some wine at noon and drank a lot of tea at the cafe in the afternoon. He didn't feel very hungry, so he went home without eating outside.
.
He opened the door with the key and found that the door was not locked. It seemed that Zhen Jie should be at home. When he entered the house, he did not see anyone in the house. He was a little surprised, but he didn't pay too much attention. Maybe Zhen Jie had gone out, maybe she was there.
I shop nearby, so I didn't lock the door.
On the way, Lu Weimin contacted Lin Hewen and Lin Hexiang. Both Lin brothers said that several core members of the Lin family are still in Hong Kong and Singapore respectively. It may be difficult to reach Changjiang in a short time. It is estimated that at least one more person will be needed.
It will take months to settle things down there. Once they are settled there, they will come to Changzhou to meet Lu Weimin as soon as possible. At the same time, there are also some Chinese families who have close relations with the Lin family who want to come together and thank them in person.
Lu Weimin and the two brothers once again expressed their most sincere gratitude to Lu Weimin for the reminder and help he gave to the Lin family.
Lu Weimin also knew that these Chinese families who evacuated from Indonesia must have been frightened. Although most of the family members had evacuated Indonesia during the riot, there were still some members who stayed behind. Although they were not harmed despite precautions, they
I was still greatly stimulated by seeing the harm caused by the riots to other local Chinese. Now if these families have a new way out, they will definitely not be willing to return to Indonesia. In addition to areas such as Hong Kong or Singapore, mainland China will also be their other place.
