Chapter 487: Get involved in Indonesia

Chapter 487
Hearing Pang Jinting's words, Zhou Hao was shocked. He hadn't expected that the Indonesian Chinese Chamber of Commerce would help Suharto and his family deal with the huge amount of money that was embezzled.
In his previous life, Zhou Hao read a news report, which stated that Suharto and his family had plundered a total of more than 30 billion U.S. dollars of assets in Indonesia during Suharto’s presidency. These assets were all transferred abroad after Suharto stepped down, and Suharto's family members also lived a life like a fairy abroad.
Just listen to Pang Jinting coldly snorting: "Although Suharto is the president, but each of those money is more than one billion US dollars, such a large capital flow can easily attract attention. And the member companies of our Chinese Chamber of Commerce are even in Indonesia. Southeast Asia has very strong strengths in various fields, so it has become Suharto's best tool to deal with his black money."
"Not only that, because of Suharto's crazy corruption, the government's finances often result in losses." Pang Jinting narrowed his eyes, almost gritted his teeth: "In order not to be discovered, he threatened our Chinese Chamber of Commerce to fill in for him. Those losses. Damn it, this is clearly robbing us!"
From Pang Jinting's mouth, Zhou Hao knew the local situation in Indonesia. All along, especially since Suharto came to power, the Indonesian government has implemented many policies against Chinese. Including leaving special marks on Chinese ID cards, prohibiting citizens from using Chinese, etc. Chinese in Indonesia play the role of second-class citizens.
In Southeast Asian countries, Chinese make up a large part of the population of each country, especially Singapore, where 90% of the population is Chinese. In various Southeast Asian countries, many have Chinese chambers of commerce. Among the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Southeast Asian countries, the strength of the Indonesian Chinese Chamber of Commerce is one of the best. The entire Indonesian Chinese Chamber of Commerce is composed of more than 200 powerful Chinese companies, with assets of up to 100 billion US dollars, and more than 60 billion US dollars of funds that can be mobilized at any time.
As the president of the Indonesian Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Pang Jinting is the chairman of "Jinting Industry". "Jin Ting Industrial" is the largest Chinese enterprise in Indonesia, with total assets of more than 8 billion U.S. dollars, mainly engaged in banking, construction and plantation industries.
"Indonesian government and people say that we Chinese control half of Indonesia's economy. In fact, this is not groundless." Pang Jinting said: "Our Indonesian Chinese Chamber of Commerce has total assets of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars, which is still less than the economic output value of the entire Indonesia. There is a big distance. However, our Chinese Chamber of Commerce has a very high status in the Chinese community in Indonesia, perhaps in a foreign land. We Chinese are all united. Those Chinese small business owners who open shops, restaurants, etc. treat us Chinese Chamber of Commerce They are very cooperative, and with their words, all of us Chinese have a big impression of the Indonesian economy."
He has strong resentment in his eyes: "However, although we Chinese have a better life than Indonesians, we have no political power. In Indonesia, Chinese cannot participate in politics or the military at all, and the government does not even let us use it. Chinese name."
Pang Jinting patted on the table: "They want us to be a bunch of fat sheep without any resistance!"
Feeling Pang Jinting's anger, Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin were also deeply unhappy. I heard Pang Jinting say: "Under their oppression, some Chinese have already succumbed. In order to fully integrate into the Indonesian circle, they no longer admit that they are Chinese, and even feel ashamed of being a Chinese. Those who have forgotten their ancestors! "
Zhou Hao also knows that there are probably two types of overseas Chinese, namely traditional overseas Chinese and Strait overseas Chinese. The traditional overseas Chinese keep their motherland in mind, always adhere to Chinese culture, speak Chinese and eat Chinese food. As for the Strait Chinese, most of them have been completely Westernized, and they don't even recognize their Chinese ancestry, which is the "banana man" with yellow skin and white heart as the saying goes.
Pang Jinting said to Zhou Hao: "Our members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce only marry Chinese people to maintain our Chinese blood. At home, we teach our children Chinese, learn ancient Chinese, study Chinese history, and remember that we are descendants of China."
Zhou Hao was very moved. Although with the development of time, the ratio of traditional overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese on the Straits has become more and more inclined to overseas Chinese on the Straits, but there are still many who stick to the Chinese culture.
"Brother Zhou, do you know why the Indonesian government organizes anti-Chinese incidents from time to time?" Pang Jinting suddenly asked.
Zhou Hao sighed and said, "Because of killing the owners of those Chinese companies, the Indonesian government can justly accept their industries. Those are cruel!"
"Yes!" Pang Jinting looked at Zhou Hao with bright eyes, as if he had encountered a rare confidant: "In order to occupy our property, they would not hesitate to encourage the people to massacre the Chinese, especially those wealthy Chinese with property and deposits. Those thugs!"
Zhou Hao knows that in the previous anti-Chinese incidents in Indonesia, the victims are often small Chinese business owners who have opened shops and businesses. Chinese people living in poor families without permanent assets are safer. This is because the Indonesian government wants to take the opportunity to accept the property and deposits of Chinese small business owners, and it is very despicable and shameless.
"For so many years, we have been fighting." Pang Jinting said: "We want to gain a certain degree of political strength, so that we can have a little ability to protect ourselves when the Chinese are infringed. However, Suhartona hasn't Ken gives us power, not only political power, but even the same citizenship rights as other Indonesians. In the eyes of Suhartona, we Chinese are no different from dogs and can be killed by him."
Pang Jinting said: "You also know that Suharto was born in the military. Since Suharto came to power, the military headed by him has been heavily involved in Indonesia’s politics and economy. Up to now, the Indonesian cabinet has 27 ministers and 12 ministers. They are military generals. Twenty-two governors of the country’s 26 provinces are soldiers. Also, every village, village chief or village leader in Indonesia is a soldier. In Indonesia’s state-owned enterprises, most managers are colonels or General. Suharto has turned Indonesia into a militaristic country."
Zhou Hao said, "As a bystander, my advice to you is to leave Indonesia. However, I also know that you have lived there for hundreds of years. It is easier said than done to leave rashly."
After the anti-Chinese incident in Indonesia in 1998 in the previous life, many people in the country were wondering why the Chinese in Indonesia were persecuted time and time again, but did not leave Indonesia? Zhou Hao knows that many Chinese have the concept of "roots". Although Indonesia is a foreign land to the local Chinese, they have lived there for hundreds of years and have taken root there.
Pang Jinting was also sighed. He said:
In fact, some of us have thought about emigrating, but many countries are only interested in people who have a few money. For example, Singapore, we used to negotiate, but they said If you want to get a green card, the'entry fee' will cost one million. Those of us can afford it, but what about other small business owners?"
Regarding this incident, Zhou Hao also knew that after the Indonesian anti-Chinese incident in 1998, Singapore said that it welcomed the asylum of Indonesian Chinese immigrants, but the Singapore government headed by Lee Kuan Yew set the immigration threshold at one million. They welcome the Indonesian Chinese to immigrate to Singapore, but they only welcome the wealthy Indonesian Chinese.
Zhou Hao was really moved by Pang Jinting's spirit of carrying a huge wealth but still caring for other compatriots.
Wang Zhonglei who was present listened to the dialogue between Pang Jinting and Zhou Hao, and his heart was heavy. Although Indonesia is on the other side of the ocean, those descendants of Yan and Huang who have always had the same ancestral ancestry with him, watching them suffer, Wang Zhonglei feels bad.
Seeing the heavy atmosphere, Pang Jinting smiled and said, "Hehe, let's not say these disappointing words. I don't know yet, Brother Zhou, how did you and this little girl know Commander Zhu? Are you relatives of Commander Zhu?"
Pang Jinting knew that the relationship between Zhu Yongquan and Zhu Yongquan who could have Zhu Yongquan send troops to support him was definitely not simple.
Zhao Yuqin smiled and said, "Big Brother Zhu was a subordinate of my father's father, and a disciple of my father, Brother Zhu treated me like a sister."
Pang Jinting was startled when he heard this. Although he hadn't set foot in China for decades, he probably knew about China's military. To be the top leader of the Nanjing Military Region, he is already a high-ranking general with great power, and Zhao Yuqin’s father is still Zhu Yongquan’s old leader. From this point of view, Zhao Yuqin’s father must be a remarkable figure, and it is very likely that he is already a central leader Member.
Pang Jinting suddenly shook as he thought about the officer surnamed Zhao from the central government. He looked at Zhao Yuqin in astonishment, and tentatively asked: "Little girl, my father is Zhao Rixin, General Zhao?"
Zhao Yuqin smiled reservedly: "It's my father."
Pang Jinting gasped fiercely. He naturally knew Zhao Rixin's weight, but he didn't expect that the big beauty in front of him was Zhao Rixin's daughter.
"It turns out to be General Zhao's daughter. I'm disrespectful, really disrespectful." Pang Jinting smiled at Zhao Yuqin.
"Old Pang, you passed the award." Zhao Yuqin still smiled.
At this time, Zhou Hao said: "Pang, I think, if Indonesia really breaks out an economic crisis again, then the Chinese will definitely become the victims of Suharto and them again. Pang, if I say that the Indonesian Chinese can get rid of the current predicament. , And improve their social status, but it needs the cooperation of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Will you support me?"
