Chapter 384 Singapore Strategy: Ma Zhichao's Ambition!

Hong Kong Island.

"Dong~~~"

A dart landed on an Asian map hanging on the wall.

The dart landed on one of the countries.

Singapore!

This country has a land area of ​​just over 700 square kilometers, smaller than Hong Kong Island's 1000 square kilometers. Its population is also only over 400 million, less than Hong Kong Island's.

Ma Zhichao stared at the map, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

"Ah Sheng, what do you think about us developing our careers in Singapore?"

Tian Yangsheng, standing next to him, said, "I'm sorry, boss, I'm not very familiar with it."

Ma Zhichao was exasperated: "I told you to study more, but you went and raised pigs instead!"

Tian Yangsheng: "…………"

I really want to retort: ​​I didn't raise pigs, I just followed you around doing bad things every day.

"Go and gather information about Singapore."

Ma Zhichao's gaze fell upon the small country of Singapore.

His ambitions have grown even higher and farther since meeting with Yi Lang and going head-to-head with the United States.

He's no longer satisfied with Hong Kong Island.

Yang Jianhua's suggestion of becoming the head of the Security Bureau initially piqued his interest, but now that his standards have risen, the idea has suddenly lost its appeal.

On Hong Kong Island, he has to follow the rules, so he can only be the Secretary for Security.

But if it's in Singapore...

He can become king!

Thinking of this, his heart began to surge, and his emotions, which had been calm for a long time, began to tremble.

……

after an hour,

Tian Yangsheng then handed the information about Singapore to Ma Zhichao.

Singapore has a total population of 480 million, with Chinese making up the largest group, approximately 74.2%, due to the long history of Chinese ancestry migrating to Singapore. Malays are the second largest ethnic group, comprising 13.3% of the total population. Indians make up 9.1%, and Eurasians 3.3%.

In addition,

To the north of Singapore lies Malaysia, a country 500 times the size of Singapore.

To the south lies Nepal and India, a country 2700 times larger than China.

The information collected by Tianyangsheng also mentions another point... both Malaysia and Indonesia are Islamic countries, while Singapore is a Chinese-majority country. Especially in Malaysia, many Malays consider Singapore part of Malaysia, particularly after Singapore's significant economic breakthroughs following independence, which has made Malaysia even more envious. Within Malaysia, there are many extremists who have consistently advocated for the forceful retake of Singapore.

"This place is perfect for me!"

After reading the information, Ma Zhichao became even more eager to try.

This place feels special to me!

Ma Zhichao asked Tian Yangsi, "Do we have any business in Singapore right now?"

Tian Yangsi nodded: "Yes, our film productions are very popular in Singapore, so our merchandise, such as suits, cola, and electronic products, are also very popular there."

Ma Zhichao thought for a moment: "How is the stock market in Singapore now?"

Singapore is an economically developed country. In the 80s, it implemented an open financial policy to develop into an international financial center. By the 90s, Singapore had become one of the world's largest financial centers, ranking fourth in the world in foreign exchange market, after Landon and New York, and slightly behind Tokyo.

However, this also means that Singapore's domestic financial market is vulnerable to fluctuations in the international financial market. Moreover, it was one of the major countries severely impacted by the 97 Asian financial crisis.

Tian Yangsi replied, "The Singapore stock market has already fallen by more than 30%, and at the same time, the value of the Singapore dollar has decreased, and property prices have dropped by 30%."

Upon hearing this, Ma Zhichao realized that Singapore was truly a piece of fat meat delivered right to his doorstep!

The decision was made immediately:

"The money originally intended for buying up bargains in the US has all been transferred to Singapore!"

"I'm going to buy up Singapore stocks at rock-bottom prices!"

When Tian Yangsheng, Tian Yangsi, and others were collecting information, they also thought Singapore was a good place.

"Yes, boss!"

Ma Zhichao thought for a moment and then said, "We've come a long way from overseas, so we should at least flex our muscles... Asi, to expand into Singapore, we need to secure a big project and make a name for ourselves."

Tian Yangsi: "Boss, what kind of project do you want?"

Ma Zhichao: "We can bring the new era supermarket model over there and let them see our strength!"

Tian Yangsi nodded: "Yes, I'll go and make the preparations right away!"

Ma Zhichao: "Prepare the plane tickets."

Tian Yangsheng: "Yes!"

……

While the United States and Iran were locked in a fierce battle in the East and Central Asia, Ma Zhichao prepared to march into Singapore.

……

the next day,

at night,

Singapore.

A plane landed at Sin Chew International Airport.

"It seems the weather isn't very good today."

Looking at the torrential rain and the biting cold wind outside, Ma Zhichao tightened his clothes.

"It seems I came at the wrong time."

Tian Yangsheng: "Boss, perhaps this just illustrates that Singapore's economic crisis is as cold as the weather."

Ma Zhichao gave Tian Yangsheng a strange look: "I didn't expect you to be able to tell corny jokes."

Tian Yangsheng: "…………"

quickly,

Ma Zhichao was in a car, escorted by bodyguards in front and behind, a black Mercedes convoy sped away from the airport and headed to the hotel.

"We're staying at the Calthorpe Private Hotel..."

"To make it easier for you to travel in the future, I'll just buy this hotel for you."

Tian Yangsheng said with a cool expression.

Ma Zhichao: "…………"

Well, so you're a domineering CEO, huh?

quickly,

The convoy then arrived at the Calthorpe Private Hotel, a magnificent neoclassical hotel built in 1928, old and grand, and arguably a landmark of the area.

Went in.

"welcome!"

"welcome!"

When the doormen saw Ma Zhichao's imposing presence and the group of elite bodyguards behind him, they quickly bowed.

The lobby manager, a bald Westerner, saw the commotion and quickly ran over to greet them warmly.

Tian Yangsi came out to greet them: "Boss, the room is ready."

Ma Zhichao nodded and prepared to go upstairs.

At this moment,

The hotel doors opened, revealing a woman soaking wet, followed by another woman and two children.

Ma Zhichao glanced at it and paused for a moment.

acquaintance!

Yang Jianhua… no, it should be the same actress, but in another movie role… *Crazy Rich Asians: Yang Ziqiong*

At this moment, the two adults and two children were soaked to the bone.

As soon as the woman came in, she started complaining, "If you hadn't insisted on walking, we wouldn't be so soaked..."

Hotel Manager: "Is there anything I can help you with? This is Calthorpe Private Hotel."

Woman: "I am Mrs. Eleanor Yang, and I have booked the Lancaster Suite..."

The hotel manager looked arrogantly at the drenched woman: "Sorry, I don't see your reservation here..."

The woman insisted that she had already made a reservation, but the hotel manager insisted that the hotel was fully booked and there were no rooms available...

Ma Zhichao stood to the side, watching with great interest.

Tian Yangsheng asked curiously, "Boss?"

Ma Zhichao didn't say anything. At this moment, he remembered what movie plot this was. It was the opening scene of "Crazy Rich Asians". The wealthy Mrs. Eleanor was harassed by the hotel, and then Mrs. Eleanor was so angry that she called her husband and bought the hotel.

At this moment, Yang Eleanor (whose husband is surnamed Yang) angrily called her husband: "I think you can buy the hotel!"

Husband Yang: "No problem!"

Not long after, her husband Yang called: "I'm sorry, madam, the hotel has already been bought."

Ma Zhichao was amused.

Just then, the hotel elevator rang, and an elderly foreign man quickly stepped out.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Ma Zhichao?" The old foreign man spotted Ma Zhichao at a glance; his imposing presence and authority were truly eye-catching.
