The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 740 The Second Official Language

At the entrance of the Johor Bahru Expressway in Western Malaysia, many high-level Malay government officials and well-known figures in the business circles of Xiangjiang, Baodao and ASEAN have gathered at this time.

After several years of construction, the Kuala Lumpur-Johor Bahru section of the Western Expressway has been completed and will be officially opened to traffic today.

Starting today, it only takes more than three hours to drive from Johor Bahru to Kuala Lumpur, which greatly facilitates the people along the route and will also help the economic development along the route to a higher level.

Malay Prime Minister Hu Keen delivered a speech at the opening ceremony, thanking East Asia Holdings and Nanlong Holdings for their support to Malay transportation construction, and also thanking all the construction personnel who have built this expressway in recent years.

Participating in the ribbon-cutting of the opening to traffic were Hu Keen, Malay Transport Minister Palog, Li Guobao, Liu Xiaoyan, and Zeng Xiabin, general manager of Western Expressway Company.

Of course, the invitation of such business people from Malaysia is obviously not just for the opening ceremony of the expressway, but more for attracting investment.

Therefore, the entire ceremony was not long. In order not to waste the time of these people, they did not invite them to take a ride on the expressway, but directly invited them to get on the car and return to the conference hall of Xinhui Hotel in downtown Johor Bahru.

The development goal of Malay in the next few years is very clear, that is, to build Johor Bahru into the headquarters center of financial electronics semiconductors and Malay.

Nanxin City under Johor Bahru County is built as a shipping and chemical industry center, and Xiangfei City under Johor Bahru is a Malay textile and clothing center.

Malacca will be built as a shipbuilding center, Kuala Lumpur will be a film and television media center, Ipoh will be built as a home appliance manufacturing center, and Penang will be built as a steel and auto parts production center.

In order to complete this plan, Malaysia has also given considerable preferential policies, among which industrial land is provided free of charge, and corporate taxation is exempted for two years and halved for three years, that is, tax exemption for the first two years and only half tax for the next three years.

Moreover, in order to have more cheap labor and reduce business operating costs, Malay has also given the green light to the foreign immigration policy. In recent years, hundreds of thousands of people have settled in Malay every year.

Faced with various preferential policies, coupled with the accelerated development of the Malay economy and market, it naturally attracts countless businessmen.

Today, the leading role is still the Tung Wah Club, and this time it is mainly members of the Tung Wah Club from Treasure Island. Huaxing Group will build a large-scale steel production base in Penang.

Donghua Automobile Group also established a joint venture with Jaguar Group to establish Jaguar Donghua Automobile Company in Penang, and established a production base in Penang. The first model is a pickup truck that is currently not involved in several major automobile groups.

Ting Hsin Group expanded the second phase of its food and beverage production base in Kuala Lumpur, mainly producing various tea beverages.

Cosmos Group entered Ipoh and established a production base of Cosmos Electric Appliances, which mainly produces branded home appliances under Cosmos Group.

In addition, although the scale of enterprise investment of Baodao Pro-Donghua Association is not very large, there are quite a lot of projects, especially the three major industries of auto parts, textiles, and food and beverage.

At the luncheon at noon, Hu Keen expressed his gratitude to Li Jianhui and others. Without his help, Malaysia would never have developed so fast in the past few years.

For this re-election, Li Jianhui and members of Xin Jian's department are also willing to see, although this is not a Chinese
Moreover, many policies are more open than before, such as film and television media, and now private individuals can establish wholly-owned TV stations.

The financial aspect is also open. Nanlong Bank has obtained the foreign exchange license and has the right to undertake foreign exchange business.

There are also many industries that once restricted private ownership, and have begun to liberalize them on a large scale. Except for a very few industries, there is no restriction on the proportion of private ownership.

"Mr. Hu Keen, you have created a Malay economic miracle in the past few years, and we very much look forward to you leading Malay to continue this miracle.

In the next few years, we will continue to increase investment in Malays, provide more jobs for Malays, and help the Malay economy continue to grow. ".

Hu Keen, who was in a good mood, also talked about his development policy for the next few years, as well as key reform measures for the next few years.

Li Jianhui doesn't care much about development, but is quite interested in some of Hu Kern's reform measures.

When talking about education reform, Li Jianhui responded: "If the government really promotes Mandarin Chinese to become the second official language of Malay, our Tung Wah Association's universities in Malay are willing to change the teaching of Cantonese to Mandarin Chinese."

"In the past few years, with the large amount of capital from Xiangjiang and Baodao entering Malaysia, the number of Malay Chinese immigrants has increased, and the proportion of our Malay Chinese population has continued to increase.

In order to facilitate the communication between Malay nationals, it is imperative to improve the status of Mandarin Chinese.

As for why Mandarin is used instead of Cantonese, the main reason is that most of the Cantonese speakers can speak Mandarin, while many who can speak Mandarin do not understand Cantonese, and knowing Mandarin is also beneficial to our exchanges between Malaysia and the north. "

In fact, there is another reason why Hu Keen is unwilling to choose Cantonese instead of Mandarin Chinese. He does not want Malay to be completely controlled by Xiangjiang Capital headed by Donghuahui.

In the future, Mandarin Chinese will not only be used to communicate with the north, but also a powerful tool to attract the rich and elite from the north to immigrate to Malay.

Coupled with the internal local Malay capital and British capital, it is enough to wrestle with Donghua.

In fact, Hu Ke'en has always been conflicted in his heart, he doesn't want Donghua to dominate his family.

Therefore, he has always hoped that a force will rise to contain the Tung Wah Association. In fact, he is very clear about the development of his younger brother's industry over the years, and even gave a lot of help. able to have a place.

But it is only a Malay enterprise, and its commercial strength is far from being comparable to that of the Donghuahui. At present, the Malay and British capitals are mainly Chinese capital allies headed by the Donghuahui.

To break this deadlock, it is necessary to introduce other capital. Japan, South Korea and the United States will definitely not do it. The Donghua Society will strongly oppose it. If there is a slight carelessness, there may be turmoil in Malaysia. This is what he does not want to see.

And only the northern capital can prevent the Chinese capital headed by Donghuahui from conflicting.

Although private capital in the North seems to be extremely weak at present, Hu Keen will not ignore its potential.

As for whether these people will be of one mind with Donghua in the future, he doesn't care that much. At least for now, in his opinion, the benefits of suppressing Cantonese in Malay are greater than the disadvantages of improving Chinese in Malay.

And Li Jianhui and others also support the use of Mandarin instead of Cantonese. In any case, this is beneficial to the Chinese, and it is also beneficial to the national culture.

In addition, the Tung Wah Association will increase its construction and support for Mandarin teaching colleges and universities in the future, so as to promote their status to a higher level.
