Chapter 65 Negotiations with Megawati
Chapter 65 Negotiation with Megawati
"It seems that someone is more anxious than me." Zeng Lingfeng just got off the plane and said to Zeng Youming who came to greet me with a smile.
"At this time, everyone is already in trouble." Zeng Youming replied.
"What happened in Indonesia this time was somewhat beyond our expectations. In my opinion, we can mention some of it. In addition to the conditions discussed in the agreement with Megawati, we can make more conditions. Brother, what do you think?" Zeng Lingfeng still respects himself, the eldest brother who is the leader of the "Fox Hunting", so he asked.
Zeng Youming smiled and said, "Indonesia's instigation is capricious, but anti-China has never changed. If you ask me for my personal opinion, of course, you can give more benefits. However, if you consider the opinions of the senior national leaders, you must stop at the right time and not be overwhelmed. As for the specific situation, Ling Feng might as well talk boldly and I will help you refer to the bottom line."
Zeng Lingfeng laughed when he heard this, "Haha, let's talk about business, I'm the best at starting a price all over the world, and paying back the money by land." In fact, everyone knows Zeng Lingfeng's plan, but these cannot be mentioned. After all, they are in disguise asking others to cede the land.
Zeng Youming continued: "Although Megawati is the daughter of former President Sukarno, Megawati has many supporters in the lower class and the party, the hardships of her election as a Democratic leader in 1993 also reflect her fragility in the position inside and outside the Democratic Party. She is not a truly influential party leader. Although Suyadi failed to be re-elected as chairman of the Democratic Central Committee in 1993 due to obstruction by the Suharto government, he is still an important force in the Democratic Party at the grassroots level. At the same time, the people of the People's Republic of China
There are also great conflicts between some grassroots organizations of the party, and sometimes conflicts between the party factions occur. In 1995, the grassroots leaders of the Democratic Party in West East Timor also established their own central committee and had close contact with the government. Although she was elected as the chairman of the Indonesian Democratic Party twice, she later had to withdraw from the party due to the rejection of Suharto. This year, Megawati founded the Indonesian Democratic Struggle Party and served as the chairman, but from the previous period, not many people bought her account."
Zeng Lingfeng nodded, and knew very well that she would not have been able to accomplish anything without external help. In her previous life, she only took over as president on July 23, 2004 after the Indonesian Association passed the resolution to remove President Wahid, but immediately failed to step down in the 2004 election. With his help in this life, Suharto and Habibi successively stepped down, which made her get a bargain and come to power early, but she was still questioned by all parties, and the implementation of the ruling measures was very unsuccessful.
Military forces influence Indonesia's political situation, which is a topic that Suharto has been unable to avoid in his 32 years in power. Suharto wants to change this situation, but he is worried about handing over the regime to others. After all, the huge wealth of tens of billions of dollars that the Suharto family has plundered in Indonesia is too conspicuous. Under the influence of the current financial crisis, more than 80% of Indonesians have lost their job opportunities and have no food to eat. This act of stealing the country's wealth is enough to make the entire Indonesian people eat meat and sleep on their skin, crush their bones and ashes.
Although the chaos this time was caused by Bolapuna of the military, the self-interest is greater than justice. As an interim presidential power, Megawati was considered a member of the darkness. Even Suharto himself did not expect that his second son-in-law would create such a big scene on his back.
What is most annoying is that if the matter is done, it would be fine, but it was strongly criticized and condemned by the international community just after it was opened. Even the US Congress was holding an emergency meeting to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Indonesia. Borapna's intentions were completely lost. Not only did it fail, but it also caused great trouble for Suharto. However, Suharto shook his hand and left casually. How to clean up the mess now falls on Megawati, telling her not to worry?
After meeting, Zeng Lingfeng and Megawati immediately held a secret talk.
In response to the current situation, Megawati hopes that China can cooperate with the Indonesian government to resolve the social unrest caused by the anti-China action. In particular, Megawati pointed out that the sudden freezing of the $43 billion assistance project to Indonesia this time is also related to Zeng Lingfeng's operation behind the scenes. She hopes that Zeng Lingfeng can mediate and implement Zeng Lingfeng's agreement with her at the beginning of the financial crisis as soon as possible to resolve the Indonesian economic crisis caused by this matter.
"These two things are easy to deal with, and I can even help solve more funding problems. Don't you think the conditions offered by the IF organization are too harsh? But I also have to put forward a few conditions." Zeng Lingfeng replied slowly.
Although the international currency base IMF agreed to provide Indonesia with 43 billion US dollars in economic aid, the conditions were very harsh. It not only required the Indonesian market to be fully opened, but also put forward some difficult requirements. It is also very important that they require Indonesia to carry out economic reforms step by step according to the time roadmap provided by IMF. Otherwise, the money would not be in place.
Although Megawati herself feels that Indonesia's economic system has reached a point where it must be changed, if it is done according to the rules of Imf, it is impossible for even representatives of all classes to agree to do so. If Imf's plan is leaked at this time, she will definitely be treated as a traitor.
"You still have the conditions? Your previous conditions were already too much! Well, tell me what are your conditions?" Megawati knew the powerful financial power of Hanyu Mimon Group, so he felt that if Zeng Lingfeng could provide economic assistance comparable to the IF organization and implement his promise, it would be hopeful to rebuild the Indonesian economy. The most important thing is to maintain the independence and autonomy of the Indonesian economy.
"In addition to our previous agreement, there are only two small conditions now." Zeng Lingfeng said to Megawati.
Zeng Lingfeng naturally put in some effort to get more rewards from Indonesia. When he mentioned it, he naturally had to talk to Megawati.
Megavati looked at Zeng Lingfeng's strange smile and felt a little uneasy when she was pounding for some reason. She had been dealing with me for many years, but to be honest, she had never made any profit.
Zeng Lingfeng in front of her was strictly a child because she knew that Zeng Lingfeng had just celebrated her 13th birthday. However, according to the information she had, Zeng Lingfeng was the boss of Hanyu Mimon Group and held huge wealth that was difficult to estimate. Friends on Wall Street once told her that if Zeng Lingfeng's wealth was published, the entire Forbes ranking would need to be re-written, and even the property of several of his important subordinates would be released, which would cause a great change in the ranking of rich people in the world. If calculated simply by cash flow, no group or individual could surpass Zeng Lingfeng's Hanyu Mimon Group.
What's even more strange is that although Zeng Lingfeng's father has now been promoted to executive vice mayor of Chongqing, and he is still a member of the Central Committee who heard that he will be promoted to member of the Politburo. Although she does not know the differences between these levels, she still knows that the Politburo member is a national leader in China, but she was just a farmer before. Zeng Lingfeng's success was far before his father became successful.
In other words, this young man started from scratch and built such a large country. As for Zeng Lingfeng's father, it seemed that he was supported by Zeng Lingfeng.
But Megavati had to bite the bullet and said, "Tell me, what are the conditions."
Zeng Lingfeng said: "The first condition is that the Indonesian government should make a public apology to all Chinese people for the anti-China incident."
Megawati just thought for a moment and said, "I can agree to this matter. I will arrange a press conference tomorrow morning to publicly apologize to the people, especially to the Chinese who were harmed during this violence."
"The second condition is to rent a place on Bali. Because I like the scenery of Bali very much, I plan to build a base there to facilitate travel in the future. Haha. Is the territory? One to two hundred square kilometers is enough. I can give you two million US dollars a year of rent per square kilometers every year." Zeng Lingfeng said indifferently as if he was just telling a joke.
Megavati was stunned when she heard Zeng Lingfeng's words. She really couldn't figure out what Zeng Lingfeng was doing to build a base on Bali. But she couldn't believe it was the reason Zeng Lingfeng said, because she liked the scenery of Bali and wanted to rent a piece of land to build a base? Let's go and go.
Zeng Youming was also a little confused about Zeng Lingfeng's request. He was not sure why Zeng Lingfeng asked for a base on Bali. If Indonesia could agree to such a request, it would be better to have a base on the opposite side of the Strait of Malacca. Even if the place is smaller, it would be better to have a few square kilometers. The military strategic position there is unparalleled.
However, Zeng Youming did not speak out. Although he did not believe in Zeng Lingfeng's so-called glory, out of trust in Zeng Lingfeng, since Zeng Lingfeng said it, it would not be aimless, and he must have his plans. In fact, no matter what, as long as the base can be built in Indonesia, no matter how big or small, no matter where it is, it will be considered a huge victory.
After hearing this, Megavati did not express any objection, but just asked, "You won't insert the five-star red flag into Bali, right? That won't work."
"Don't worry, I won't do that. Moreover, even if I really want to do that, I'm afraid the Americans will be the first to jump out and oppose it," Zeng Lingfeng replied with a smile.
Megawati thought about it for a while and said, "I need to consider this issue. The rent of 2 million US dollars per square kilometer a year is really a little less. After all, the tourism industry in Bali has been booming in the past two years, so it is not a good deal."
"A lot of it. Although the place has a good scenery, it is only worth this price." Zeng Lingfeng insisted.
Megavati fell into deep thought.
Looking at Megawati who was in deep thought, Zeng Lingfeng smiled and said to her: "President Megawati, I just put forward two conditions. If you agree, in return, in addition to financial aid, I can also provide a preferential condition as support for your promotion to president."
