"Thank you very much!" Lin Feng expressed his thanks to this visa free qualification with a smile.
Lee Kuan Yew and his son are also smiling. This visa free qualification in Singapore is not a bargaining chip or an exchange term. It is just a gift.
Lin Feng's acceptance is the beginning of the negotiation between the two sides.
"Mr. Lin, if the Chinese compatriots do not adapt to the law when they come to Singapore, please help to publicize it. We will set up a Chinese tourism website to help Chinese compatriots travel to Singapore more conveniently and launch more Chinese services! " Premier Li Xianlong said with a smile.
The official languages of Singapore are English, Malay, Tamil and Chinese. After all, 77% of Singaporeans are Chinese, and Chinese is supposed to be the largest language in theory. But the reality is that most of the yellow skin, black hair and black eyes Chinese people you see speak fluent English.
Because the government does not attach importance to the popularization of Chinese education, English is the first language. It is only among the elderly that Chinese is so popular that they can understand it. But among the young people, most of them speak English and few of them speak Chinese. But I understand a lot. After all, most of the old people at home can speak Chinese. It's normal that they can understand and can't speak.
Therefore, language is not a problem for Chinese tourists to Singapore.
As for why the government does not recommend Chinese, the reason is very simple. It is not just that Singapore wants to draw a clear line with China, but that Singapore has nothing. Compared with Japan, it is more barren and less advantageous in geographical resources. All Singapore can have is trade! English is the first language in the world. You must learn English to communicate with others.
A fluent English is no doubt better than a fluent Chinese to survive in this cruel international environment.
"On behalf of the Chinese tourists, I would like to express my thanks to ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^!" Lin fengxiao said.
Lin Feng supports the promotion of Chinese in Singapore. After all, this is conducive to the promotion of Han culture. And this has always been Lin Feng's work.
In fact, if we really want to talk about the promotion of Chinese culture, in fact, the whole world has been blooming for a long time. The Chinese are not only the first in the world in the Chinese mainland population, but also in the world. Han culture, in fact, has long spread to every corner of the world. It's just a little helpless that these are not spread systematically, and each has its own advantages, which can't let outsiders really understand Chinese culture.
The brilliance of Chinese culture is not spread by a few people alone, it can let outsiders really understand Chinese culture. It takes a group of people several years, even decades, to really promote it. At the same time, there should be more Chinese to accept the things handed down by the ancestors.
And these, need certain time, still have certain skill. It's absolutely impossible to copy mechanically.
For example, Lin Feng knew that when he respected Chinese culture and was determined to make it brilliant again, some places began to ask students to recite the Three Character Classic, Hundred Surnames and disciple rules.
How about reciting this kind of thing? Lin Feng will not arbitrarily say good or bad. However, it is meaningless for you to arbitrarily ask all students to recite by administrative order for the purpose of reciting.
The ancients recited this because in fact, the summary of the predecessors' painstaking efforts is their personal cognition of the world. After thousands of years of development, many things have changed, the times are changing, the social system is changing, all these things are different from thousands of years. If you still copy mechanically, it's just the opposite.
And if only to please Lin Feng, let students recite the so-called "disciple rules" these, it is more meaningless!
With visa free as a stepping stone, the two sides have reached cooperation in various fields in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere. Naturally, Lin Feng also promised to invest in various fields in Singapore.
Of course, the key is tourism. Singapore's land area is too small, so they hope to build the island together with Lin Feng! Build an island! A large enough artificial island, like palm tree island in Dubai, will drive more people to visit Singapore.
Lin Feng is also an expert in building islands. Of course, the key point for Singapore to attract forest wind to invest is the ownership of artificial island.
The island, built by Lin Feng, is completely owned by Lin Feng. The Singapore government has no control over the island except collecting legal taxes.
Of course, is this enough to attract Lin Feng? How much does it cost to build an island in Singapore? Tens of billions of dollars, at least. Reclamation, island building, artificial embankment, and all kinds of buildings on the island, fresh water treatment, and so on, all kinds of troubles, one after another. What's more, 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, there are no scenic spots in itself. Apart from the cultural landscape, there are no other scenic spots to attract tourists. As for the islands, they don't have countless corals and fish schools like Maldives, nor do they have desert like Dubai, where the sea stretches to the sky. Singapore, as an artificial island, has almost nothing.
Why does Lin Feng invest so much? This brings benefits to Singapore, but not to Lin Feng. Moreover, Lee Hsien Loong also demanded that the entire island should employ only Singaporean employees, including future management, and that the middle and lower classes should only be Singaporeans.
It can be said that such conditions are very harsh. But Lin Feng still agreed.
Why? It's the location of the island.
Singapore, guarding the Strait of Malacca, is also close to the South China Sea. On this island, Singapore allows Chinese military warships to be stationed. This is enough to make Lin Feng promise.
At present, China has no aircraft carrier fleet, and Lin Feng's aircraft carrier fleet is impossible to give to the country. On the South China Sea issue, Lin Feng is trying to build a four Nation Alliance through Nguyen Tan Yung to completely solve the South China Sea issue and give China an outlet to the sea. But what if it doesn't work?
Here is a backup plan. It 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. Lin Feng doesn't care if he can make the investment.
But in exchange for China's absolute influence on the whole of Asia!
