Hong Kong variety show: An undercover agent from Infernal Affairs? I'm not human anymore!

“Yes, that’s me,” Ma Zhichao said.

shake hands.

Foreign old man: "Hello Mr. Ma, I am Calthorpe."

Then he said to the hotel manager, lobby manager, waiters and others, "I, Calthorpe, hereby conclude the long history of the Calthorpe Hotel. I am selling the hotel to my dear friend, Mr. Ma Zhichao, a super tycoon from Hong Kong Island!"

Hotel manager, lobby manager, waiters, and others: "…………"

He stared blankly at Ma Zhichao.

Then, a fawning, ingratiating smile gradually appeared on his face.

Yang Eleanor and the others looked at Ma Zhichao with shock on their faces.

Ma Zhichao nodded and pointed at Yang Eleanor: "Check them in, and I'll put the money on my tab."

Ma Zhichao had seen "Crazy Rich Asians" and had a good impression of the Yang family, who, despite being the richest family in Singapore, still adhered to Chinese traditions—making dumplings and following various Chinese customs.

Moreover, since I want to enter Singapore, perhaps I should get to know the Yang family first.

Yang Eleanor quickly expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Ma!"

Ma Zhichao nodded, then turned and left, with Tian Yangsheng and the other bodyguards following in an orderly fashion.

As Yang Eleanor checked into the hotel, she called her husband and explained what had happened.

"You said that the wealthy man's name is Ma Zhichao?"

"Yes, you know him?"

"I've heard of him. He's very powerful in Hong Kong, but why did he come to Singapore?"

"That's not clear."

"I happen to be free tomorrow, so I'll go and pay a visit."

……

……

A new day,

The weather in Singapore is sunny and clear, as if the torrential rain last night had washed the sky clean.

Ma Zhichao visited the International Financial Exchange.

This exchange is the third largest in Asia, after Tokyo and Hong Kong Island, and is one of Asia's major financial centers.

Ma Zhichao came here to experience that pessimistic atmosphere.

The large screen inside the stock exchange was completely red.

Everything is falling!

Upon opening, the index had already fallen by 1.4%.

But outside the exchange.

"Bang bang bang~~~~~"

One after another, human bodies fell from the sky, staining the ground red—a truly spectacular sight.

At this point, half a month has passed since the stock market crash began. In Singapore, a large number of top 100 companies and businesses of all sizes have gone bankrupt and collapsed. Many companies have also fled their capital en masse, resulting in a catastrophic scene: hundreds of thousands of people are unemployed and the suicide rate is rising steadily.

Ma Zhichao, you've arrived just in time!

Sorry I'm late, it was mainly due to adjusting the detailed outline...

Chapter 385 Anti-Rabbit Vanguard, Singapore's High-Ranking Officials

Next, they sent their subordinates to collect information on various industries in Singapore in preparation for the upcoming acquisition.

the next day,

Ma Zhichao discovered a problem: in Singapore, real estate offers little future potential because Singapore's Land Acquisition Law requires that government compensation for land acquisition be based on its value before development. This emphasizes the importance of government investment in infrastructure for land appreciation, thus stipulating that the increased value cannot be appropriated by land speculators.

In other words, making money by speculating on real estate? That's too difficult!

On the third day, Ma Zhichao gained a general understanding of the current major industry landscape in Singapore:

Chemicals and electronics are the two pillars of Singapore.

Tian Yangsheng explained: "According to our understanding, after the outbreak of the Fourth East China War in 1973, a global oil crisis occurred. The whole world was storing oil, but Singapore did the opposite and implemented a free trade policy for oil, which won the favor of international capital."

"Subsequently, Singapore's chemical industry developed rapidly, and now Singapore has become the world's third largest oil refining center, after Houston and Rotterdam."

Ma Zhichao: "Where's the electronics? What happened?"

Singapore's electronics industry is quite impressive. Apple Computer began producing personal computers in Singapore in 1981, and optical disc drives began production in 1982. By 1985, more than 150 multinational companies were engaged in the production of electronic or computer components in Singapore. Today, its greatest achievement in the electronics industry is that it is the world's largest manufacturer of computer hard drives.

Tianyang thought to himself, "At present, it can only be said that this is the personal initiative of Premier Li Guangyao."

Based on some information from later generations, Ma Zhichao shook his head and said, "No, it should be that Li Guangyao's actions gained the approval of the United States."

Currently, Singapore's status is that of a loyal follower of the United States and the leading figure in the anti-China movement in Southeast Asia.

Li Guangyao's "achievements" included his attempt to break free from Sinicization.

On the other hand, Li Guangyao also did his best to adopt a "Westernization policy" and made English the first language of national education.

Furthermore, if Ma Zhichao remembers correctly, Singapore has also allocated a large area of ​​land for the construction of a US military base.

This series of actions naturally made Daddy very happy.

Ma Zhichao made the decision: "Then let's acquire the chemical and electronics companies, and also acquire a building to serve as the first location for the New Era Supermarket."

Tian Yangsheng and Tian Yangsi replied, "Yes, boss!"

However, Ma Zhichao's acquisition quickly attracted Li Guangyao's attention.

……

……

38 Oxley Road.

Li Guangyao's house

Lee Kwang-yao has lived here since the 1940s. It was also here that Lee Kwang-yao, a historical witness to the struggle for Singapore's independence, held meetings with like-minded people in the basement of the house on many occasions.

At this moment, Li Guangyao was sitting in the living room, which was furnished in an extremely ordinary and simple manner, with a portrait of his great-grandfather hanging on the wall.

Li Guangyao is now 71 years old and has retired to the position of Senior Advisor to the Cabinet, but he remains the most authoritative figure in the country.

At that moment, he was listening attentively to his secretary's report with a serious expression.

"Currently, this Ma Zhichao has acquired the major shareholder equity of two chemical companies, and also acquired that disk disk factory..."

"They were very generous with their acquisitions, and several owners and shareholders of chemical and electronics factories were eager to sell as soon as possible due to the financial crisis, so their transactions were very fast..."

Listening to his secretary's report, Li Guangyao rubbed his temples.

He is very afraid of Chinese people.

Really scared!

Li Guangyao: "How's your investigation into Ma Zhichao going?"

Secretary: "What we have so far is some information about him in Hong Kong. A year and a half ago, he was an undercover police officer. After solving a case, he rose rapidly through the ranks. Not only did his company expand rapidly, but he also rose to the position of deputy commissioner in the police force at an unbelievable speed. Currently, he wields considerable power in Hong Kong. He doesn't even give face to the Grand Commandant, and he has clashed with Victoria's intelligence agency several times, with Ma Zhichao even winning!"

Li Guangyao frowned: "So, this person is not someone to be trifled with?"

Secretary: "His style is very forceful!"

Li Guangyao: "Regarding his identity... is it possible that he's from the north?"

Secretary: "Judging from his history of making his fortune, it is highly likely. After all, no one can develop so quickly; it is very illogical."

Li Guangyao: "Do you think it's possible that they were sent from the north to cause trouble?"

Bang~~

Slamming the table!

Li Guangyao cursed inwardly, "What a nuisance!!"

The Li family, whose first generation came to Singapore from Chaozhou and Meizhou in 1860, has always had a strong desire to return to their roots for three generations.

Li Guangyao was highly regarded by his grandfather from a young age, who devoted all his efforts to his education and upbringing. During his studies, Li Guangyao received a Western education, which gradually changed his views, eventually making him one of the "rootless" generation.

During his tenure, he spent decades carrying out a de-Sinicization movement in the fields of culture, language, and education, and highly praised Western culture and institutions. He visited China many times but never personally attended ancestral worship ceremonies.

Throughout his life, his greatest sensitivity was to avoid contact with the Chinese side as much as possible!

And now, Ma Zhichao has arrived!

This made him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy!

Li Guangyao said seriously, "No matter what, we must stop Ma Zhichao!"

The secretary thought for a moment.

Prevent?

How to stop it? Should it be a warning? Or something else?

Li Guangyao thought for a moment and instructed, "Tell all the chemical companies not to sell their shares to Ma Zhichao. If they have any operational problems, they can talk to the government about acquisitions..."

"Furthermore, notify all department heads to tighten control over Ma Zhichao's company..."

The secretary nodded: "Yes!"

Li Guangyao: "Also, spread the word that Singapore does not welcome Ma Zhichao."

The secretary was speechless.

So cruel?

It seems Ma Zhichao is going to have to go back in disgrace.
