Cooperation
ps. Here’s today’s update. By the way, I’m asking for votes for the 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 votes. Votes will also give you coins. I beg you all for your support and appreciation!
"Thank you!" Lin Feng smiled and expressed his gratitude for this visa-free qualification.
Lee Kuan Yew and his son were also smiling. This visa-free qualification for Singapore is naturally not a bargaining chip or a condition of exchange. It is purely a gift.
Lin Feng accepted it, which was the beginning of negotiations between the two parties.
"Mr. Lin, as for the legal incompatibility of Chinese compatriots coming to Singapore, please ask Mr. Lin to help spread the word. We will set up a Chinese tourism website to help Chinese compatriots travel to Singapore more conveniently, and
Launch more Chinese services!" Prime Minister 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 largest language. But the reality is that most of the people you see have yellow skin
, a Chinese with black hair and dark eyes, but all speaks fluent English.
Because the official does not pay attention to the popularization of Chinese education, English is the first language. Chinese is only extremely popular among the elderly and they can understand it. But among young people, most speak English and rarely speak Chinese.
. But there are still many people who can understand it. After all, most of the elderly people in the family can speak Chinese. It is normal for them to understand it but not speak it.
Therefore, language is not a problem for Chinese people traveling to Singapore now.
As for why the official does not recommend Chinese, the reason is very simple. It is not simply because we want to draw a clear line with China, but because Singapore has nothing. It is poorer than Japan and lacks geographical resource advantages. All Singapore has is trade.
!And English is the first language in the world. You must learn English to be able to communicate with others.
Speaking fluent English is undoubtedly better than speaking fluent Chinese to survive in this cruel international social environment.
"Then I would like to express my gratitude to *** on behalf of the Chinese tourists!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
Lin Feng still supports Singapore's promotion of Chinese language. After all, this is conducive to the promotion of Chinese culture. This is what Lin Feng has always done.
In fact, when it comes to the promotion of Chinese culture, it has already spread all over the world. The Chinese are not only the most populous in the world in mainland China, but also the largest population of ethnic Chinese in the world. Han culture has actually spread all over the world.
Every corner. But what is a bit frustrating is that these are not spread systematically, and each has its own strengths, which cannot allow outsiders to truly understand Chinese culture.
The brilliance of Chinese culture cannot be spread by a few people alone, so that outsiders can truly understand Chinese culture. This requires a group of people to spend several years or even decades to truly promote it. At the same time, there must be
More Chinese people will accept the things passed down by their ancestors.
And these require a certain amount of time and a certain amount of skills. Just copying them mechanically will never work.
For example, Lin Feng knew that after he admired Chinese culture and determined to restore its glory, some places began to forcefully and arbitrarily require students to memorize the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames", "Disciple Regulations" and so on.
Is it good to memorize this kind of thing? Lin Feng will not say arbitrarily whether it is good or bad. But if you are arbitrary and use administrative orders to require all students to memorize it for the purpose of memorizing it, it is meaningless.
The ancients recited this because in fact, the summary of the efforts of their predecessors is their personal understanding of the world. After thousands of years of development, many things have changed. Times are changing, social systems are changing, and all of this,
Everything is different from what it was in thousands of years. If you still apply it mechanically, it will be counterproductive.
And if it is just to please Lin Feng and ask students to recite the so-called "Disciple Rules", it would be even more meaningless!
With the visa exemption as a stepping stone, the two parties reached cooperation in multiple fields in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere. Naturally, Lin Feng also promised to invest in multiple fields in Singapore.
Of course, the most critical 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 Island in Dubai, to
Drive more people to travel to Singapore.
When it comes to island building, Lam Fung is also considered an expert. Of course, the key point in attracting Lam Fung to invest in Singapore is the ownership of artificial islands.
This island was built by Lin Feng, and its ownership belongs entirely to Lin Feng. The Singapore government has no control over this island except for collecting legal taxes.
Of course, is this alone enough to attract Lin Feng? How much does it cost to build an island in Singapore? It is tens of billions of dollars at least. Reclamation, island building, artificial protective embankments, and various buildings on the island,
Fresh water treatment, etc., all kinds of troubles, one after another. And the most important thing is that after you build an artificial island, you have to attract enough people to travel, otherwise how will you recover the cost?
Although Singapore is a tourist country, it does not have many attractions in itself. Apart from the cultural landscape, there are no other attractions to attract tourists. As for the islands, they are not like the Maldives with countless corals and fish schools.
Like Dubai, where there is a desert and the sea reaches the sky, Singapore is an artificial island with almost nothing.
Why did Lam Fung invest so much? This almost only brought benefits to Singapore, but did not bring any benefits to Lam Fung. Moreover, Lee Hsien Loong also requested that the entire island can only employ Singaporean employees, including future management, and only middle and lower-level employees.
Could be Singaporean.
It can be said that this condition is very harsh. But Lin Feng still agreed.
What’s the reason? It’s the island’s geographical location.
Singapore guards the Strait of Malacca and is close to the South China Sea. And on this island, Singapore allows Chinese military warships to be stationed. This alone is 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. As for the South China Sea issue, Lin Feng is solving it, trying to build a four-nation alliance through Ruan Jinyong 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, it is only an investment of tens of billions of dollars. If Lin Feng can afford the investment, he does not care.
But in exchange, it is China’s absolute influence over the entire Asia!
Chapter completed!
