Chapter 507 The Truth that Was Deliberately Concealed
Fortune Chapter 507: The truth deliberately concealed
The Indonesian overseas Chinese who came here without any symptoms this time include Wang Jiama, the most representative figure in Central Indonesia, and the head of the Guo family, Jinchuan Ma Xiongwu and Guo Yandong, as well as a nephew they brought with them. There were more than twenty people in total. It can be said that they are all elites in the Indonesian Chinese business community.
Fan Wubing did not expect that these big figures in the Indonesian Chinese business community would come to thank him so quickly. My heart was suddenly surprised.
Indonesia is not very peaceful here. Violent incidents against Chinese businessmen also emerged one after another. In just ten years. There were dozens of explosions. But the scale is not very large. The impact is not very far-reaching. But the local Chinese businessmen have a certain awareness of this.
Generally speaking. When riots broke out. Indonesian Chinese businessmen are especially the heads of these big families. They will temporarily fly to Hong Kong or Singapore and Macau to seek refuge. Wait until the situation in Indonesia is calm before going back.
Many Chinese who come to Indonesia for exhibitions are immigrants from the Chaoshan area. When these people first went to Nanyang, they were often empty-handed. After a long struggle. Basically there are quite a few factories in Indonesia. A very large manor. A large number of employees. There are also considerable assets. It is therefore impossible to give up the cause here.
In the words of some relatively unknown businessmen. There's a lot of money here. Doing business is easy. It doesn't matter how many people die in the family. Just find some Malay girls to regenerate.
Because of this fate. Although Fan Wubing came to Jakarta to resolve the anti-Chinese riots. But there was no contact with the big Chinese business families. Firstly, they don’t know much about them. Secondly, they are somewhat disdainful of the mixed phenomenon among Chinese businessmen. I don't want to get too involved in these things.
Fan Bing asked people to prepare coffee and tea to entertain these people. Yi Er smiled and said to everyone. "I was in a hurry. I went suddenly. I also visited my house. It was rude. All the sages who came here today must have given me some advice."
The Wang family is one of the representatives of the Chinese business community. Wang Jinchuan heard Fan Wubing say this. He replied with a smile. "How dare you talk about advice? This time Mr. Fan helped save the lives of many Chinese Indonesians. We can't thank you enough. I am presumptuous to come here today. But I am here to express my gratitude on behalf of the 10 million Chinese compatriots in Indonesia."
The people who followed brought over a gold plaque. There are large gilt characters written on it. These are the four characters of mainstay. There are iron hooks and silver paintings between the strokes. Quite a certain amount of skills. The signature was neatly written in small regular script and was jointly presented to Fan Wubing by the Indonesian Chinese Entrepreneurs Association and various Chinese groups.
"How can this be-" Wu Bian looked at the plaque. He smiled and declined.
joke. How can you accept the title of the mainstay? This time, he made a plan and then performed a meritorious deed that amounted to a thousand kilograms.
And he has made a lot of profits, but if he accepts this plaque, he has a relationship with them. Completely stuck. If something happens again then. Can I still be this mainstay?
It's okay if you are in your seventies or eighty. But I am only in my early twenties now. If you become this mainstay. I will have enough headaches in the future. Although there won't be any serious anti-Chinese riots like the past few days in Indonesia in the short term, it might happen in the future.
However, under the leadership of Wang Jinchuan, everyone must accept Fan Wubing's gratitude. And everyone also said that they knew that Mr. Fan Wufan had strong financial resources. The representatives of Indonesian Chinese businessmen felt that they wanted to thank him with money. It is simply an insult to Mr. Fan’s noble and heroic demeanor. So I made a plaque like this to express my gratitude. If Mr. Fan insists on not accepting it. It has chilled the innocent hearts of the 10 million Chinese people in Indonesia.
Fan Wubing didn't really want to dwell on this issue. So someone put the plaque away first. Then I found a topic to divert everyone's attention. He asked Wang Jinchuan. "After this incident and the fact that Indonesia's economic situation cannot reverse its decline in a short period of time, Indonesia's domestic economy is likely to have a relatively sluggish period. I wonder if you have any plans?"
Wang Jinchuan looked at the other people. Then he said to Wu Bing. "To be honest. We are here this time. In addition to thanking Mr. Fan in person, we also have another idea. I hope to follow Mr. Fan back to China. We heard that many parties are actively developing the domestic economy in recent years. We have discussed this matter. Since things are not going well here in Indonesia, it is better to go back to the country and participate in the economic development process."
Several other people. More or less the same meaning. It was obvious that they were quite frightened by the platoon riots this time. I hope to invest in the motherland first for the time being. It's better to leave more paths. After all, the current Habibie government has taken too many actions. Not only did he announce that he would investigate the corruption of the Suharto family. Moreover, the forces within the general were swept away. Such a big move. This makes Indonesian Chinese businessmen very worried. What if Habibie is the second Suharto?
What to do?
After hearing everyone's explanations. Fan Wubing said. "This is a good decision. The motherland will always welcome you. As long as you operate in compliance with the law, the door there will always be open for you. We are very willing to help you make connections."
"I really want to thank Mr. Fan." Wang Jinchuan was very excited. Because they have figured out Fan Wubing's identity. In addition to being an extremely rich man with an inestimable net worth. There is also a father who is a member of the Politburo. The influence is extremely far-reaching. If you have him as a recommendation. People like me can quickly establish contact with the mainland. Find the right investment direction.
After Fan Wubing chatted with everyone for a while. Think of something. He asked. "I heard that the wealth accumulated by the Chinese accounts for 70% of the total social wealth in Indonesia. That's why Indonesian people hate the Chinese. Is this true?"
"Mr. Fan, you must never listen to such nonsense." Guo Yandong listened to Fan Wubing's words. He said with some excitement. "These words were fabricated by the Indonesian communist forces. The purpose is to incite local hostility towards the Chinese."
At that time, people in many maritime provinces in China left their hometowns. Travel across oceans. Come to Indonesia to make a living. It's not easy. Keqinke. This is the foundation of the Indonesian Chinese family. In such a strange country. The Chinese could only do coolies at first. Make a little money.
After years of fighting. Develop slowly. The intention is getting bigger and bigger, and now life is rich. But most people do not forget the fine tradition of diligence and thrift. Don't spend a penny. People of the older generation always say they are afraid of poverty. We can no longer be poor.
Keeping is a unique way of buying and selling among Indonesian Chinese. Doing business is all about credibility. Say it verbally. No receipt is required. The business is done. Some businessmen tore off cigarette wrappers. It's a debt note printed for hundreds of millions. A trustworthy businessman will be quickly accepted by everyone. The reputation is getting better and better. Businessmen who broke their promises were immediately kicked out. Chinatown in Jakarta. This method of buying and selling continued into the seventies.
After Indonesian independence. Some people with narrow nationalism also have ulterior motives to create riots against the Chinese from time to time. but. The Chinese economy was not destroyed. They relied on their indomitable spirit of thrift and thrift. Continue to make its own contribution to the development of the Indonesian economy.
Those who immigrated to Indonesia without land. For survival. They just become hawkers. Moving between city and countryside. His face became familiar with people. Just open a small shop from this. Chinese shops are located all over Indonesia’s urban and rural mountainous areas. Form an extensive business network. Promoting the flow of goods between urban and rural areas in Indonesia. development and prosperity of Indonesia's economy. It can be said. A large number of Indonesian Chinese small and medium-sized businessmen are rooted in Indian society. Directly affects Indonesia's economy.
"Some people spread rumors with ulterior motives that Chinese control 70% of Indonesia's economic lifeline. In fact, what they do is spread rumors to undermine Indonesian national harmony." Guo Yandong said to Fan Wubing. "According to figures released by the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics, Indonesia's national assets in the early 1990s were US$250 billion. The total assets of private companies accounted for about 10%, which is about US$30 billion. Even among these US$300 of assets Half of them are Chinese assets, which is far from the so-called 70%.”
Wang Jinchuan added. "There are currently no reliable statistics on how many Chinese there are in Indonesia. It is generally estimated that among the 200 million people in the country, the number of Chinese is between 8 million and 10 million. Materials released this year show that those engaged in industry and commerce in Indonesia Among the Chinese, only one hundred and seventy are the owners of large consortia or large groups. The remaining Chinese are professional farmers, fishermen or shopkeepers. Now I still rely on my hard-working hands to support my life.”
Fan Wubing nodded when he heard this. "Sure enough, the rumors are not credible. I think the Suharto government deliberately created these lies for its own interests. Its purpose is just to spread China to Indonesia and the international community and threaten the survival of Indonesian people. This guy is really Not a good thing."
"What we are most worried about now is that if Habibie cannot suppress the domestic situation and Suharto suddenly returns to the country and starts to collapse, the domestic situation in Indonesia will become even more dangerous. The Chinese will undoubtedly be the first victims. So. "We all think that investing in the motherland is the best choice. I hope Mr. Fan can help us find a place to stay." Xiong Wu has been working in the hardware manufacturing industry in Indonesia. said.
Fan Wubing nodded. I think this time I can probably attract a lot of investment back to China. Just think about it first. These investments should be distributed where it is more in line with your own strategic deployment.
