On the bustling Orchard Road, there is a gorgeous and magnificent white palace-shaped building, and there is a large lawn at the door that looks like a golf course. From a distance, it tastes like the combination of Buckingham Palace in the UK and the White House in the US. This is the Presidential Palace in Singapore, called the "Presidential Palace", but it is actually similar to China's Zhongnanhai. In addition to holding various state activities, it is also the office of the head of government.

When Minister of Trade and Industry Oh Chol-dong walked into the Prime Minister's Office, he happened to see Lee Kuan Yew calling and asked the other side in a stern manner: "No? Why not?"

Lee Kuan Yew was used to treating others with a stern face. Wu Zuodong didn't know who was so angry this time. He quietly waited for the phone call before saying, "Prime Minister, are you looking for me?"

"Sit." Oh Zuo-dong is the object of Lee Kuan Yew's focus on and focused on training. He restrained his stern expression and asked with a kind look: "You went to the industrial park the day before yesterday and had contact with Shen Chong. What do you think of him? I mean his political views."

Wu Zuotong was slightly stunned. He thought he was coming to ask about Shen Chong's investment, but he didn't expect to ask about this.

"The phone call just now was called by President Chen of the National University. He said that Chen Chong wanted to give an impromptu speech, so he did not submit his speech for the evening in advance. The National University is the place where the country cultivates future talents. Anyone who speaks in public must undergo review. Chen Chong has a close relationship with the CCP. Will he talk nonsense and promote communism?"

Wu Zuotong thought for a while before saying, "I went to China nine years ago and had some understanding of the policies and politics there. When I met with Mr. Shen the day before yesterday, I felt that many of his views were incompatible with communism. China implemented a planned economy and did not protect personal property. However, he was a firm liberal economist and attached great importance to private wealth. In comparison, I think he advocated Western thinking more than the CCP."

Lee Kuan Yew nodded slightly, without saying anything, and after pondering for a while, he asked again: "What do you think of his ability?"

"Foresight and extraordinary." Oh Zuo-dong said, "He talked to me about some economic development prospects in Singapore and Southeast Asia. His insights are very unique and inspiring. I am going to summarize his remarks and write a report."

"This report is done as soon as possible, and then show it to me." Lee Kuan Yew praised it and said: "Prime Minister Deng from the Communist Party of China visited us two years ago. After returning, he implemented a policy of reform and opening up. I think China will soon have huge changes. Singapore has few people and narrow territory, and has a good location but cannot maintain it. If China's economy rises, we will be sandwiched between Taiwan and the mainland by then, and diplomatic trouble will be very troublesome. Shen Chong can get along well between mainland China and Taiwan. His views must be taken seriously."

"Yes, I'll write it as soon as possible."

"How sure do you know his $1 billion investment plan is to win?"

"Mr. Chen spent two days in the industrial park. Although he praised our infrastructure and administrative efficiency, his tone was very tight and he had never expressed his intention to invest." Wu Zuotong shook his head gently and said: "I feel that he is very interested in the electronics industry and is not very interested in the petrochemical and ship manufacturing we focus on, because the only sure investment in the past two days is to buy a small company that produces radios for tens of thousands of dollars."

"Your feeling is right." Lee Kuan Yew picked up a copy of Nanyang Commercial Daily from his desk and asked, "Have you read today's newspaper?"

Wu Zuodong looked at the headline "The God of Wealth in Shen will compose a new song, and the female singer is ecstatic" on the front page of the newspaper and nodded.

Lee Kuan Yew was not interested in Feng Ya's affairs. He clicked the newspaper and said: "Last nightclub, in addition to Shen Chong, there were also Guo's eldest son, Guo Kongcheng, and a Taiwanese named Huang Renzhong."

"Taiwanese?" Taiwan is the strongest competitor with a $1 billion investment. Wu Zuo Tong was very sensitive and asked, "What is the background of this person?"

"He is the only son of Taiwan's Justice President Huang Shaogu. According to the information of the Embassy in Taiwan, this person grew up with Chiang Ching-kuo's second son Jiang Xiaowu and has a close relationship." Singapore's every move cannot escape Lee Kuan Yew's eyes and ears. He said: "Last afternoon, Chen Chong just returned to the hotel, he went to visit him, stayed in the room for a few minutes, and drank together in the nightclub again for nearly four hours. Before Guo Kongcheng went, Chen Chong once talked about developing a new electronic game console in the United States, with an estimated market prospect of nearly 10 billion US dollars. Because the main components were provided by Japanese companies, he planned to build a factory in a place with developed sea transportation and rich human resources in Asia."

"The market of nearly 10 billion US dollars?" Wu Zuo Tong was a little uncertain and questioned: "The scale of the electronic game industry should not be that large, right?"

"It's true or false, it's not clear yet, but Chen Chong said that he has produced about $100 million worth of game consoles in the United States and is ready to be released in August." Lee Kuan Yew held the tabletop with his arms, clenched his fists, and said: "I have asked the Singapore Consulate in Los Angeles to inquire. If the news is true, you have to do your best to win this investment. This is very important for Singapore. Judging from the situation in the United States, it is very certain that the electronics industry will become the next engine of economic growth, and we must seize this opportunity."

Wu Zuotong was not in a hurry to express his determination. He pushed his glasses and said, "Of course I will do my best to work, but compared to Taiwan, Singapore has no advantage except shipping. Mr. Chen often goes to Taiwan and has many friends there, especially he has a Taiwanese girlfriend. When the conditions are similar, interpersonal relationships are often the decisive factor, which makes us very passive."

"There are not necessarily a good thing he knows in Taiwan. Some people praise them, and some people will also stumble. It requires mediation from multiple parties, and it is bothering and hard. Last night, Chen Chong complained to Huang Renzhong that Taiwan's administrative efficiency is too low, which makes him very troubled. In our Singapore, we don't need to think so much and can concentrate on doing business. You can make use of this. Time is money. Chen Chong is an excellent businessman. He should understand this principle." Lee Kuan Yew thought for a while and said, "But what you think makes sense. His movie star girlfriend will indeed add a lot of points to Taiwan. Let's do this. Before he goes to the National University to give a speech tonight, you invite him to a meal and ask Miss Huang Yingying to accompany him."

"Huang Yingying?" Wu Zuotong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is it the host of Channel 8?"

"Well, it's her." Lee Kuan Yew waved his hand indifferently and said, "Chen Chong seems to be very interested in her. He specifically asked about her in a nightclub last night."

"Ms. Huang is already married, right?"

"Just have a meal." Lee Kuan Yew smiled and said, "Make a good relationship."
