"Thank you!" Lin Feng smiled and expressed his gratitude for this visa-free qualification.
Lee Kuan Yew and his son also bloomed with smiles. This Singapore visa-free qualification is naturally not a bargaining chip, or exchange of terms, it is purely a gift.
Lin Feng's acceptance was the beginning of negotiations between the two parties.
"Mr. Lin, for Chinese compatriots coming to Singapore, they are a little uncomfortable with the law, so please ask Mr. Lin to help publicize it. We will set up a Chinese travel website to help Chinese compatriots come to Singapore more conveniently, and Launch more Chinese services!" Premier Lee Hsien Loong said with a smile.
The official languages of Singapore are English, Malay, Tamil and Chinese. After all, 77% of Singaporeans are Chinese, and Chinese should theoretically be the number one language. But the reality is that most of the Chinese with yellow skin, black hair and black eyes you see speak fluent English.
Because the government does not pay much attention to the popularization of Chinese education, English is the first language. Chinese is extremely popular only among the elderly, and they can understand it. However, most of the young people speak English, and very few speak Chinese. But there is still a lot to understand. After all, most of the elderly in the family can speak Chinese. It is normal for them to hear and understand, but not to speak.
Therefore, language is not a problem for Chinese people to travel to Singapore.
As for why the government does not recommend Chinese, the reason is also very simple. It is not simply a desire to draw a line with China, but because Singapore has nothing. It is even more barren than Japan and lacks the advantages of geographical resources. All Singapore can have is trade! English is the world's first language. You must learn English to be able to communicate with others.
A fluent English is undoubtedly better to survive in this cruel international social environment than a fluent Chinese.
"Then, on behalf of the Chinese tourists, thank you to the ***!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
Lin Feng still supports Singapore's promotion of Chinese. After all, this is conducive to the promotion of Han culture. And this has always been done by Lin Feng.
In fact, if we really want to talk about the promotion of Chinese culture, it has already blossomed all over the world. Chinese people are not only the most populous in the world in mainland China, but also the number of people of Chinese descent in the world. In fact, Han culture has spread to every corner of the world a long time ago. It's just a little frustrating that these are not systematically spread, and each has its own strengths, and it does not allow outsiders to truly understand Chinese culture.
The brilliance of Chinese culture is not spread by a few people alone, but can make outsiders truly understand Chinese culture. It takes a group of people to spend several years, or even decades, before it can be truly promoted. At the same time, there must be more Chinese to accept the things handed down by our ancestors.
And these require a certain amount of time and certain skills. It is absolutely impossible to copy it mechanically.
For example, Lin Feng knew that when he admired the Chinese culture and determined to bring it back to its glory, some places began to forcefully and arbitrarily ask students to recite the "Three Character Classics", "Hundred Family Names", and "Disciples Guidance".
auzw.com Is this kind of thing memorable? Lin Feng will not arbitrarily say good or bad. But if you are arbitrary, use administrative orders to ask all students to memorize, and for the purpose of memorizing, that would be meaningless.
The ancients recited this because, in fact, the conclusion of the predecessors' hard work is their personal knowledge of the world. After thousands of years of development, many things have been different. Times are changing and social systems are changing. Everything in this is different from thousands of years. If you do it mechanically, it will be counterproductive.
And if it is just to please Lin Feng and ask the students to recite the so-called "Disciple Rules", it will be even more meaningless!
With the stepping stone of visa exemption, the two sides have reached cooperation in various fields in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere. Naturally, Lin Feng has also promised to invest in multiple areas in Singapore.
Of course, the most important thing is tourism. Singapore's land area is too small, so they hope to build an island with Lin Feng! Build an island! An artificial island large enough, like Palm Tung Island in Dubai, can drive more people to travel to Singapore.
In terms of island building, Lin Feng is also an expert. Of course, Singapore’s key to attracting Linfeng’s investment lies in the ownership of the artificial island.
This island was built by Lin Feng and its ownership is entirely owned by Lin Feng. The Singaporean government has no control over the island except for collecting legal taxes.
Of course, just this is enough to attract Lin Feng? How much does it cost to build an island in Singapore? It is also tens of billions of dollars. Reclamation, island building, artificial protection dike, various buildings on the island, fresh water treatment, etc., all kinds of troubles, one after another. And the most important thing is that if you build an artificial island, you have to attract enough people to travel, otherwise how can you recover the cost?
Although Singapore is a tourist country, it does not have many attractions. Apart from the cultural landscape, there are no other attractions that can attract tourists. As for the islands, they don’t have countless corals and fish schools like the Maldives, nor are they desert like Dubai, where the sea stretches across the sky. Singapore builds an artificial island with almost nothing.
Why does Lin Feng invest so much? This almost only brought benefits to Singapore, but did not bring any benefits to Lin Feng. Moreover, Lee Hsien Loong also demanded that the entire island can only hire Singaporean employees, including future management, and only Singaporeans in the middle and lower levels.
It can be said that this condition is very harsh. But Lin Feng still agreed.
What's the reason? It lies in the geographical location of this island.
Singapore, guarding the Strait of Malacca, is also close to the South China Sea. And on this island, Singapore allows Chinese military warships to be stationed. At this point, it was enough for Lin Feng to agree.
At present, China does not have an aircraft carrier fleet, and it is impossible for Lin Feng's aircraft carrier fleet to be given to the country. Regarding the South China Sea issue, Lin Feng is trying to build a four-nation alliance through Nguyen Jinyong to completely solve the South China Sea issue and give China an outlet to the sea. But what if it is unsuccessful?
Here is a backup plan. Can help the Chinese Navy stabilize the situation in the South China Sea. At the same time, guarding the Strait of Malacca can also restrict other countries in Asia. Therefore, the investment is only tens of billions of dollars, and Lin Feng doesn't care when he invests.
But in return is China's absolute influence over Asia as a whole!
[515 is coming soon, and I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list. By May 15th, the red envelope rain can give back to readers and add promotional works. One piece is also love, it must be better! 】(To be continued.)
