A villa in Simon's estate on the southeastern outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, near a private golf course in the north.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
With the help of a translator, Carmen Case explained in detail the things to pay attention to tonight to a group of girls on the sofa in the living room wearing only pink silk suspenders. She waited until an Asian-faced waitress sent a folder over. Stop talking. After receiving it and opening it in his hand, he found a stack of medical examination reports that had just been released. There were 26 reports in total, covering all the goblins arriving in Kuala Lumpur from China, Japan and South Korea.
After patiently reading them one by one, Carmen closed the folder and handed it to the waitress next to her. She looked at the six Korean girls in front of her again with restrained postures and respectful expressions, and asked, "Do you remember everything I just said?"
The girls nodded.
Actually, there is probably only one thing: no talking tonight.
Strange request.
However, thinking about the $100,000 that people suddenly received in the evening, which made people overjoyed and even a little frightened, said to be pocket money, and then think about the various experiences in recent days, and the big man behind all this, a group of The Korean girl who has been trained to be submissive has long since lost any thoughts of her own.
Of course it is whatever is said here.
Let’s just talk about the 100,000 US dollars. Even the girl from the best family has never seen so much money in her life.
What's more, as long as they can make that big shot happy, they are expected to go to the United States to develop, and even reach the level of Jeon Woo-jin and Shin Chae-hye who are quite famous in the international fashion circle.
Even if it doesn't work, as long as they can escape the country they are in and immigrate to the United States, they will be satisfied. You know, South Korea's economy seems to be recovering in the past two years, but its actual foundation is still full of holes, and ordinary people's lives are not easy.
Seeing that the group of girls had no other questions, Carmen Case stopped talking and finally gave a few words to the maid here. She left the villa and took a battery car along the brightly lit manor corridor to the small courtyard on the west side of the main villa of the manor. Hunan coast.
At the open-air cocktail reception here, under the bright lights, there are like clouds of guests, drinking and drinking among each other.
Ever since she was left behind to arrange for those Korean actresses when picking up the plane in the afternoon, Carmen had never seen her boss. Now that she was so busy, she finally found time to say hello to a certain man.
As one of the first batch of Wei family maids who were selected and trained according to strict procedures, Carmen, like girls such as the Giselle twins, has a deep-rooted loyalty and admiration for her boss, even though she knows that this is very important. To a large extent, it was due to being brainwashed, and I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.
Because he is their belief.
After asking the waitress on site, Carmen walked through the crowd and quickly found a man by the railing by the lake. Her boss was chatting with someone, and there was also Girl A next to him. Carmen did not step forward directly, but just walked to a position slightly behind the man, so that he could notice her as long as he stopped talking and looked around for a moment.
He also pricked up his ears curiously. In this situation, he didn't worry about hearing something he shouldn't hear. After all, men wouldn't say it out loud.
"Bob, frankly speaking, I have always been more inclined to be an industrial capitalist than finance. Because I know very well that finance is just a tool and cannot achieve the purpose of direct production. Without production, there would be no need for our human society. Various materials. It is undeniable that financial means can optimize production and maximize benefits. However, if too many people in a country, or even the entire human society, engage in finance and no one is willing to engage in production, the results will definitely be disastrous. "
The 'Bob' Simon refers to is not a Westerner, but the English name of the current head of the Kuok family, the richest man in Malaysia.
Carmen, who was observing, had just arrived and was not sure why her boss would talk about this. When others heard these words, a group of Southeast Asian rich people, including Robert Guo, nodded.
The main thing is that everyone has just inevitably talked about the 1997 financial crisis that has left Southeast Asian countries with lingering fears. Robert Guo, as the leading representative of the political and business circles in Southeast Asia, took the initiative to raise their concerns to Simon, who was planning to enter Southeast Asia this time.
Roughly speaking, what is the specific goal of the Westeros system this time? Will it be like other Western capitals, which just come to make a wave of quick money, and then leave a mess to all countries
If this is the case, everyone will definitely be more cautious when it comes to cooperation.
Of course, the scene was full of human beings, and Simon’s statement could not immediately dispel all their doubts. However, everyone is not completely unconvinced. After all, there are references. For example, China, especially the several Southeast Asian Chinese businessmen present who have good relations with the Chinese authorities, are well aware of the extensive layout of the Westeros system in China's industrial field in recent years.
Since Simon Westeros can make a big bet on China, whose average economic level is even lower than that of some Southeast Asian countries, everyone in Southeast Asia will naturally welcome it as long as the other party plans to take root in the country for a long time and cultivate intensively.
As for whether this super dragon crossing the river will squeeze the living space of local snakes like them, if it is other foreign capital, everyone may have this worry, but the Westeros system is too large, and Simon is doomed. ·It is impossible for Westeros to value the three melons and two dates in their own pockets, because if they fight for these things, both sides will definitely lose more than they gain.
The best way is of course cooperation and win-win.
After Simon's statement, the topic quickly turned to the specific direction of cooperation.
The mainstream industries of Southeast Asia's richest people are basically concentrated in the light industry or service industry. For example, the Kuok family, the richest man in Malaysia, currently has two core industries. One is sugar production, which directly controls 20% of the world's sugar production share, and the other is hotels. The famous Shangri-La. As for other industries of other rich people, they are basically distributed in banking, real estate, tobacco, retail and other fields.
Although through last year's large-scale stock exchange, the Westeros system has basically been involved in all aspects of this type of business in Southeast Asia, but, frankly speaking, Simon really doesn't like it.
For example, in real estate, if China is added to the prefix, Simon will definitely spare no effort. However, if it is Southeast Asia, except for a few core cities such as Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, there is really little potential to be tapped in other regions.
Simon is more interested in heavy industry, high technology and tourism. For example, steel, machinery, shipbuilding, telecommunications, semiconductors, development of tourism, etc.
In addition, there are various labor-intensive OEM industries that can support a group of core enterprises in the Westeros system.
All of these, of course, have some development in Southeast Asia, but they are quite weak.
The main thing is that related industries do not involve basic clothing, food, housing and transportation. Without them, every country can survive. Southeast Asia began to develop in the 1960s and 1970s after the war, and its main focus was on primary industries such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. By the 1990s, countries such as the Four Little Tigers began to follow the Four Little Dragons and began to try to attack the high-end, develop heavy industry, and develop high technology. As a result, In a financial crisis in 1997, everything came to an abrupt end and was wiped out.
Historically, until more than ten or twenty years later, Southeast Asian countries were unable to escape the shadow of the 1997 financial crisis and were unable to achieve further industrialization.
What Simon has to do is to help Southeast Asian countries go further than they hoped to accomplish before 1997. After all, the new production system planned to be built in Southeast Asia, from the beginning, was not to produce some elementary food, cotton and cloth, but to accommodate the transfer of some relatively high-end industries in the West.
Of course, the premise is that in this major transfer, the Westeros system must be able to obtain a sufficient share of benefits and have considerable initiative.
As for whether these countries are willing to sell out, Simon is not worried.
There are a large number of Southeast Asian countries, and Simon will focus on supporting whoever is willing to let go. He is not worried that Southeast Asian countries will form a group and raise prices. This kind of grouping is so against human nature. It is human nature for three monks to have no water to drink.
