Chapter 1464 Compensation is necessary, the canal is still dug

"Xiao Liu, the company is calling, let you fly back to China to finish your marriage. Brothers can't drink your wedding wine. Come, take it. This is what the brothers gave you..." Qiu Ping called Liu Longquan to the captain's room. inside.

Although the tonnage of their ore-carrying ship is large, the crew is small, only 20 or 30 people.

"Captain, how can this work? I'm a customs broker. Everything here has to rely on me. Without me, when can you leave?" Liu Longquan became anxious when he heard this.

He does want to go back and get married, but he is unwilling to leave the brothers.

"The boss has spoken. Let all our company’s transport ships and ships related to our company block the Singapore Port. When will this matter be resolved? I don’t know. Your wife has a big belly. Maybe she will have a baby. Can't go back..." Qiu Ping said with a smile.

"Yes, Xiao Liu, go back. The captain will consider it for you and report the situation to the company headquarters. The boss has personally intervened in this matter. No matter how courageous Singapore is, he dare not do anything to us. Now there are 40 of us Their own boat. If they really dare to use force, the boss will definitely let us smash the boat and block it in their harbor..." A dark-skinned man said with a smile.

With such a boss, it is a relief.

When things have developed to such an extent, everyone knows that this is no longer for money.Does their boss Yun not care about this?

To block a country’s port and challenge another country, they were caught by the Singapore police.The company will not ignore them.

"If this were the case, I would not be able to leave. I have already told my daughter-in-law, and she said she would support me. Anyway, we have pulled the marriage certificate, but the wedding has not been held, and others will not make irresponsible remarks... "Liu Longquan refused to leave here."I think, instead of waiting, let's go directly to the Singapore Presidential Palace to find their prime minister's residence and make this a big deal! Anyway, this country only has a slapped area..."

"Wait, I will discuss with the other brothers." Qiu Ping also thought this was a way.

If they just wait for the company to deal with it without letting the people in Singapore know the situation, it will be really difficult for them to handle it.

Since it is going to cause trouble, make it bigger.

Anyway, with their boss backing, what are they afraid of?Even if his life is lost, the company will not ignore it.These grandsons are really deceiving people too much.

After discussing with others, they all agreed that every time they sailed at sea for almost two months, even in Mauritania, they would have to leave after a short rest.I just look forward to going home to rest for a few more days.

These grandchildren in Singapore made them become more irritable, who were already irritable. After stopping here for so many days, who can feel comfortable?

As a result, forty huge ships began to move, blocking the entire way in and out of the port. Then, before the customs police came, most of the ships left one or two people. The guard, the others began to walk towards the official residence of Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong.

And now, Goh Chok Tong was listening to the report at hand with a blue face. He had always thought that Yunfei was picking the matter, but after letting his subordinates investigate, he knew that this was the case.

The customs in Singapore is now extremely corrupt, but he is somewhat helpless. Although he has been prime minister for more than a decade, the entire country is under the influence of the first prime minister. He is also powerless in many things.

As for the new Director of Customs, he just believes in Li. It goes without saying who the backstage is...

"Mr. Prime Minister, the Chinese ambassador urgently asks for an emergency consultation regarding Yun's holding company Yunfei's order for all stranded fleets of their company to block our port. Forty Chinese ore ships and oil tankers have begun to run sideways outside our port. ..." The secretary's words made Goh Chok Tong's bad mood even worse.

"Has the maritime police been dispatched?" Goh Chok Tong's biggest worry is the outbreak of greater conflict.

China's Yun's Holdings has always been considered the biggest supporter of Southeast Asian Chinese gangs, but no one has any evidence to prove this.

Indonesia has been in chaos up to now. These are all gifts from Yunfei...

And now, the Chinese gangs are even more powerful in Southeast Asia. In addition to not having large-scale equipment, they have all kinds of firepower.If there is a riot in Singapore, he will definitely spend the rest of his life in curses when his term of office is about to expire.

"Maritime police did not dispatch. The General Administration of Customs is always paying attention to their movements. At present, hundreds of Chinese are beginning to come to the Prime Minister's Office..."

"Let the Chinese ambassador come into my reception room." Goh Chok Tong took a deep breath. If it continues, things will get out of hand.

At present, many Chinese are coming to Singapore. Originally, some gang members lurking in Singapore, their government does not have enough police to keep an eye on them.Everyone knows why these people are here.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I don't know how your country handles this matter. We have been trying our best to suppress it at home. If there is no explanation, Yun Fei will stand up by himself, and things will be more difficult to deal with then..." Chinese Ambassador Jia Min She is a woman in her forties, a very capable woman.

For such things, she can only do her best to mediate now.

She had never thought that Yun's Holdings would have an attack at this time.

"Ambassador Jia Min, the parliament directly voted against this opinion..." Goh Chok Tong replied helplessly.

"Maybe you also have news that Yunfei was once attacked by Japanese gangsters in Paris, France, and received a large amount of compensation. Now he just asks your government to apologize and compensate them for these losses. The more you drag it back, the more things will become. It's not easy to handle. You know his status in our country better than us..." Jia Min said at this moment, he is not a diplomatic ambassador at all.

At any time, most diplomatic ambassadors, even when they tear their faces, use some black words.

Such as strong protest, severe condemnation, etc., never said these things.

But now, the Singaporean government simply doesn't know whether she is inexperienced or what conspiracy is hidden inside.

The Americans behind them are unreliable now.

"I personally regret this matter." Goh Chok Tong is not afraid of threats at all.

"Then I can only regret to say that according to our domestic sources, because of long-term oppression here, Yun's Holdings is preparing to invest in negotiating the Kra Canal project with the Thai government..." Jia Min did not know that this was a domestic grant. The bargaining chip she used to negotiate was still true.

The Kra Canal has been mentioned before the Second World War. The Japanese had always been very interested in the construction of this canal, and it was mentioned in the 1960s.

If it weren't for the US mediation, the Japanese and the Thai government would have already begun to do it, and the project might have been completed long ago.

The Thai government has always attached great importance to this canal project, and hopes that a country will help them dig through this canal.Once the Kra Canal is dug to the point where it can navigate a 350,000-ton tanker, Singapore’s economy will collapse because of this.

At that time, their ports and oil refineries will be suspended.

Hearing this, Goh Chok Tong was shocked.

His face became harder to look.

The Chinese made a relentless move.The narrowest part of the Kra Isthmus is only more than 60 kilometers. According to the best plan conceived by the Thai government, the length of the canal is only 100 kilometers. If the canal is completed, the channel will be 1,200 kilometers shorter than the bypass of the Strait of Malacca. .Large ocean freighters, mining ships, and oil tankers can save two days of voyage at a speed of 15 knots. More importantly, a 150,000-ton freighter can save at least US$300,000 per trip!

At that time, the Singapore Waterway will be deserted, and their businesses relying on the Strait of Malacca for their oil smelting, transit trade, and cargo warehousing industries will shrink.

At the same time, it is not only Singapore that is affected, but also Indonesia and Malaysia.

Yunfei's attitude towards Indonesia is not good enough, and it is not good enough for Malaysia.

If the other party is the Chinese government, they are not worried. The Chinese government has always maintained the image of a big country in charge. Doing so will affect the reputation of their government, but Yunfei is different. He is a private entrepreneur!

Moreover, it was because he was angry in Singapore that he prepared to dig the Kra Canal.

Does Yunfei have that economic strength?

Forbes announced last year that Yunfei’s personal worth was about 35 billion U.S. dollars. Even if all of the Kara Canal was completed, it would be only about 20 billion. What's more, Yunfei’s companies will earn dozens of Yunfei every year The profit of 100 million U.S. dollars, this profit will become bigger and bigger as their business expands...

Jia Min left after speaking.

In the past few days, I have been negotiating every day. Sometimes several times a day, she is also a little irritable. What are these Singaporeans doing to provoke Yunfei?That kid has been low-key, but for more than two years.

After acquiring a 43% stake in the American high-tech company Apple, Yunfei and Yunshi Holdings both began to fade out of sight.

Now it's coming out again to make trouble.

No one can stand this.

After Jia Min left, Goh Chok Tong immediately asked the parliament to discuss this matter urgently.

The reason why the Chinese ambassador told them this news, and the media has not reported it, is probably because the Chinese government is suppressing Yunfei. Once the suppression fails, the news is revealed, and the pressure of the Singapore government can be imagined.

Their government will fall every minute.

"The Chinese want to dig the Kara Canal? It's simply impossible. The Japanese have wanted to dig this canal for more than 60 years. Haven't they not implemented it yet?" Some congressmen simply did not comment on such threats.

This is the bargaining chip that the Chinese take the initiative to increase themselves in order to negotiate.

"If the Chinese dig the Kra Canal because of us, our relations with Malaysia and Indonesia will become very stiff. Without the strategic position here, the US government will not support us..."

"China’s richest man does have such strength. He was worth more than 35 billion U.S. dollars last year. This year, he has expanded his business scope and will definitely exceed 50 billion U.S. dollars. In other words, he has at least tens of billions of dollars at his disposal. His liquidity, with his impulsive character, is definitely not a joke..."

"Let our government apologize to a Chinese private company? Where do we put our country's face? If compensation is spread, can our country still have a foothold in the world?"

The quarrel began in the Singapore Parliament Building.

The matter still has not been properly resolved.

The demonstrations that took place in Thailand gradually turned into riots. In order to maintain social stability, the Thai Thaksin government had no choice but to start emergency plans and negotiate with the US government to request them to withdraw their troops.

The parade actually started in the United States.

The U.S. economy has not improved. The two wars have made all citizens discover that the history of the Vietnam War is repeating itself, and the U.S. is deeply mired in war...

On May 27, 2004, Yunfei held a public press conference to publicly express his concern about the situation in Thailand, and hoped that the Thai government could quell the riots as soon as possible, because he wanted to cooperate with the Thai government to dig the Kra Canal.The reason is that the Singaporean government deceived people too much. Their company has now compensated hundreds of millions of dollars in liquidated damages, and because of the bribery incident of Singapore officials, the price of Chinese steel has risen...

The Chinese government has expressed rare silence on such matters.

Although the domestic steel and crude oil prices are not very serious, there are signs, especially oil prices.

There is a new price almost every week, all of which are influenced by Singapore.

Too much, after hearing Yun Fei’s remarks, the government accelerated the pace of the withdrawal of the United States from their country. Only when the United States withdrew will the domestic riots calm down.The Kra Canal is a plan that their country has not peddled for almost a century.

The Singapore government was dumbfounded.

They did not expect that the destiny of their country would be affected by the bribery of a customs director.

Under such circumstances, the Prime Minister of the Singaporean government made a televised speech, expressing deep regret for the losses their officials had caused to Yunfei, and deeply regretted the fluctuations in China's domestic economy caused by this situation. At the same time, he publicly apologized to Yun's holdings, and Willing to compensate for all losses.

At the same time, the Singapore government announced that it will conduct a large-scale anti-corruption operation to ensure that similar incidents will not happen in the future...

"Boss, the other party is willing to compensate our company for one billion US dollars of losses. They want us to abandon this plan..." Chen Jie did not expect that Yun Fei would eventually convince the Singaporean government as soon as he took action.

"Billion dollars? How about sending beggars? Our crew stayed over there for more than a month, and our domestic ore supply has fallen by several million tons. Just forget it?" Yun Fei curled his lips, he cared about the ten. Billion dollars?

care.

"I have collected one billion dollars. After I have collected the money, tell them that the Kara Canal is ready for digging. This depends on their attitude. If the attitude is good, we may dig the canal a little bit shallower..." Yun Feiyi Said with a smile on his face.
