Chapter 1096

Guo Songyan arrived in Singapore by private plane from Kuala Lumpur in the morning to have breakfast with Zhang Ke and sun Shangyi.

It's only three or four hours' drive from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore. For Guo Songyan, who has a private plane, it's as convenient to come and have breakfast with Zhang Ke and sun Shangyi as to leave home and work in the company.

Sun Jingmeng didn't want to participate in any business activities and left the hotel early to go to school.

Sitting in the luxury restaurant on the top floor of Fulton Hotel, you can see the Singapore River immersed in the rising sun, and the prosperous Chen Xie of the bullet country seems to converge in this sparkling river.

"Singapore is making every effort to develop tourism. There are all kinds of hotels and hotels everywhere. However, in terms of the beauty of architecture, only the government building and the high court in Singapore can be comparable to the Fulton hotel. This used to be the general post office of Singapore. At the beginning of the century, all kinds of people in Singapore sent and received their homesickness and wishes in this building ... "Guo Songyan introduced Zhang Ke to the historic hotel building where he stayed.

Last night, I hung out in Jingmeng apartment for a long time. It was already 11 o'clock to meet sun Shangyi back to the hotel at the airport. Zhang Ke had no time to enjoy the beauty of the classical architecture of the Fulton hotel. The Fulton hotel is a landmark hotel in Singapore. Naturally, Singapore arranged them to stay here with great care.

"When I first got off the plane, I received a call from Singapore. Mr. Li Xiancheng, senior director of Temasek, will take time to accompany us to visit Singapore Port Group..." Guo Songyan said.

"Oh..." Zhang Ke answered without asking why Singapore had suddenly raised the reception standards. Sun Shangyi looked puzzled.

In the previous arrangement, only a senior vice president of Singapore port group accompanied the whole process. Li Xiancheng is a core member of Singapore's Li family, a senior official of Singapore's Ministry of Finance and one of the decision makers of Temasek investment group. Although Jinhu has laid a very deep foundation in the mainland, Jinhu can only be regarded as a third rate small role in large Asian consortia, It was somewhat surprising to arrange Li Xiancheng to accompany him all the way.

Zhang Ke didn't feel special honor and frowned slightly. He would rather receive a normal reception in Singapore than consider the reason why Li Xiancheng came forward.

On the way to breakfast, Guo Songyan received a phone call, put down the phone and said, "Mr. Li Xiancheng arrived at the hotel earlier than I expected..."

"Alas," Zhang Ke sighed lightly. He felt that he couldn't even have a breakfast. It's better to come less for such a high-standard reception. Thinking so, he had to leave his tableware with sun Shangyi and others and follow Guo Songyan out of the restaurant to show respect.

Li Xiancheng is about 40 years old. He is of medium build, has a thin face and sparse hair on his forehead. As a core member of the Lee family in Singapore, his appearance is similar to that of the people in Singapore who are regarded as the father of the country. He is in a high position in Singapore and is relatively young. Zhang Ke shook hands with him and listened to Guo Songyan introduce them. Zhang Ke was thinking about how to exchange greetings, but Li Xiancheng said: "I always wanted to see the hero who created the golden lake with my own eyes. I didn't dare to call back to Singapore last night. I have to know that Mr. Guo is also coming to Singapore and asked him to introduce me. I hope it won't be too abrupt..."

"Where?" Zhang Ke said with a smile, "I should visit..."

Guo Songyan had a close relationship with the generation of Li Xiancheng of the Li family, so he invited Li Xiancheng to have breakfast with them.

Although the list of Chinese businessmen can hardly see the names of Singapore Li family members, no Chinese business family can stand up and claim that it has greater influence and stronger economic strength than the Li family in the Chinese circle.

At this time, Singapore's relationship with the mainland seems to have a sweet honeymoon period, and the economic cooperation is also extremely close. In essence, it seems to be divorced, which has a lot to do with the political ambitions of the Lee family in Singapore. After the economic rise of the mainland, the trend of becoming a big country has gradually become. The political status of the Lee family in Singapore in the Chinese circle has become more and more marginalized. It is inevitable to have a strong sense of political loss. In addition, Singapore is geographically far away from the mainland and its small land is sandwiched between the Nanyang islands. There are few political options. When the honeymoon period passes, The relationship between the two sides will gradually cool down.

At this time, Jinhu cannot lose the support of Singapore. Whether it is the construction of Hong Kong on Dongshan Island or Zhongjing microchip, it needs Singapore's financial and technical support. However, considering that China Singapore relations may cool down in the future, it is necessary to avoid too deep penetration of Jinhu to Singapore. For this reason, in addition to normal business contacts, Zhang Ke does not want to develop much close "personal relationship" with members of the Lee family in Singapore, which is also the main factor why he occasionally passes through Singapore but rarely stays.

Sitting in the luxury restaurant on the top floor of the Fulton Hotel, it seems that you can hear the gurgling sound of the Singapore River. Li Xiancheng gracefully handled his knife and fork and said with a smile: "For this cooperation between Jinhu and us, we prepared a supplementary plan earlier, but it seems a little untimely at this time. I'm looking forward to making friends with you, thinking it might be all right to communicate in private..."

Zhang Ke thought to himself: since you know it's inappropriate, don't say it. But you smiled and said, "it's my honor to have the opportunity to learn from your predecessors."

"In order to complete the industrial layout from 0.35 μ m to 0.18 μ m, SMIC has to acquire a licensed wafer factory and build a new high-end wafer factory. As the largest shareholder, Jinhu has to bear the investment obligation of at least US $1.4 billion..." when Li Xiancheng said, he habitually touched his sparse forehead, "At that time, we didn't expect that Jinhu could obtain such a huge amount of funds from Kunteng online and global music online. We thought that as the most outstanding Chinese enterprise in recent years and a dazzling star in the Chinese business community, Temasek should not stand idly by when Jinhu fell into a temporary dilemma, so we formulated a supplementary plan in advance to alleviate the financial pressure of Jinhu "Now it seems that this is completely inappropriate. The business operation of Jinhu in Kunteng online and global music online is really surprisingly wonderful..."

The so-called supplementary plan is that Temasek Investment Group will inject capital into the core enterprises of Jinhu, and then the core enterprises of Jinhu will complete the investment task of Zhongjing microchip?

Together with the Singapore Government Investment Corporation, as the two most mysterious investment groups in Singapore, Temasek rarely publishes financial information to the outside world. Zhang Ke can probably know that the scale of Temasek Investment Group's investment in the mainland in recent years is about 150 billion to 200 billion Hong Kong dollars.

If Temasek's penetration can be tolerated, Jinhu can indeed not worry too much about the source of funds in the future.

Obviously, Guo Songyan, Guo family, Chen Wencong, Chen family, Ma Wenqu family, he Zhaokui family and other families are relatively pure Chinese business groups. They do not have particularly strong political ambitions. Forming a close alliance with them will help expand Jinhu's influence in the Chinese business circle without worrying about political risks. In addition, Guo, Chen, Ma and he Chinese business families are all one side Haofu, however, does not have the advantage of suppressing Jinhu in terms of economic strength. Therefore, Jinhu can occupy a dominant position in the process of two-way penetration.

The intention of Temasek investment group and the Singapore government behind it may not be pure. What's more, Temasek has the strength to swallow the whole Jinhu Lake. Even if Temasek's influence can be limited within a limited range, this one-way penetration is not what Zhang Ke hopes to see. A better choice is to cooperate with Temasek on specific projects Even more mysterious Singapore government investment companies need not have too much scruples.

Zhang Ke looked at Sun Shangyi quietly. Sun Shangyi understood it and smiled with Li Xiancheng and said, "Microsoft's $900 million has long been in our budget. However, we are very grateful to Temasek for its thoughtful consideration for Jinhu. With Mr. Li's words, Jinhu would have the courage to discuss with Temasek if it really encountered any difficulties."

Guo Songyan was quite surprised: "Jinhu was sure that Microsoft would promise you all the conditions?"

"No, no, no," Zhang Ke shook his head and said with a smile. He was very happy to turn the topic aside. "We promised them a lot of conditions in order to get Microsoft's $900 million, but we can't elaborate on some things one by one. I'm really sorry..."

Guo Songyan expressed understanding.

Seeing that Zhang Ke and sun Shangyi showed little interest, Li Xiancheng knew that this was not a good time to inject capital into Jinhu. Even if Jinhu reluctantly agreed to issue some shares to Temasek, it would not get a good price. He thought that Jinhu's action was so big that it would always choke the capital. That was a good time.

The Singapore authorities invested in the sinocrystal microchip Xinpu plant in the name of DBS Bank; the Singapore authorities invested in the port construction project on Dongshan Island in the name of Singapore port group; these two enterprises are the core enterprises of Temasek investment group. Through these two investment cooperation, Li Xiancheng also fully realized the excellence and rapid growth of Jinhu; in addition to this Besides the two points, Jinhu's influence in the Chinese business circle is also very eye-catching - if it can penetrate Jinhu, it will definitely be Temasek's rare wise investment in recent years. It was originally thought that Jinhu would be a good opportunity to forcibly promote the construction of two new wafer factories by CIC microchips. I didn't expect Jinhu to get so much cash from the Internet industrial chain.
