Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 679 Good night, Miss Ping (first update, please subscribe)
Jealousy is a human nature.

Almost everyone is jealous, jealous of other people's money, jealous of other people's beauty, jealous of others...

One can always find reasons and causes for jealousy.

For Chen Zhenlu, to a large extent, he is jealous of Mindanao, because everyone is from the Tang Dynasty.

But the Tang people there are different from them. In Mindanao, those Tang people are superior people.

And what about them, the Tang people in Malaya? It is simply not worth mentioning, and even basic rights cannot be guaranteed.

Because of this, in the past two years, he has been looking forward to Nanyang's intervention in Malaya just like they intervened in Mindanao.

So he has been waiting patiently.

But now his patience has run out.

What kind of patience is that?

"what!"

Although he entered the country as a foreigner, because he was from Tang Dynasty, he could naturally get a 30-day visa on arrival. However, when he needed to fill in the entry registration form, he encountered some problems.

For a moment, Chen Zhenlu was dumbfounded, and the MCA members who came with him were also dumbfounded.

Looking at the entry registration form filled out in English, the customs official asked.

This kind of patience is multi-faceted, not only towards the Malays, but also towards the British, and of course towards Nanyang.

When introducing this person's situation, Li Guoren would occasionally turn his attention to His Excellency. Speaking of which, they were almost the same and could be regarded as the elites of the Tang Dynasty in the colony.

Chen Zhenlu was stunned, nodded and answered in Minnan dialect.

"I, I don't know Chinese."

"Chen Zhenlu was born in a wealthy Tang businessman family in Malacca. His mother is a Malay and he is considered a native of the Tang Dynasty. He is different from some of the few second-generation Tang people. Although he can speak Hokkien and simple Mandarin, he does not understand Chinese at all. However, he is familiar with the English version of traditional Chinese cultural classics. He graduated from Raffles College in Singapore and was admitted to Cambridge. Later, with the support of his father-in-law, he engaged in the rubber business. Since 22 years ago, he has served as the administrator of the Straits Settlements. Member of Parliament, who was promoted to executive member of the Straits Settlements Executive Council in 1933. He has been committed to fighting for equal rights for overseas Chinese, advocating that Malays and Chinese residents living in Malaya should have the same equal rights as Europeans... "

"Yes."

When I handed over my passport and entry registration form at the customs window, the customs officer looked at the passport and entry registration form and asked.

Fortunately, he was not forcibly deported. After being refused a visa, while Chen Zhenlu was waiting in the hall, his entourage immediately contacted the overseas Chinese affairs department in Nanyang. While Chen Zhenlu and others were waiting anxiously, at the official residence in Chang'an, Li Yi'an was listening to Li Guoren's speech. report.

“Can’t speak Chinese?”

"Are you from Tang Dynasty?"

Then, the visa was directly...rejected.

Just because his patience was exhausted, he arrived in Chang'an by plane in late October. Chen Zhenlu, who held a Federation of Malay passport, of course had to pass through the customs through the foreigners' channel.

Chen Zhenlu said a little embarrassed.

"Then why not write Chinese characters."

"During the Japanese occupation of Malaya, Chen Zhenlu went into exile in India. He announced the establishment of the "Overseas Tang People's Association" in Bombay. After the war, he returned to Malay to actively participate in political activities and expected to establish a group to represent the Tang people. However, the Tang people were indifferent to politics. As well as the reasons of Ma Gong, it was difficult to realize this wish until the two-year political crisis brought this opportunity. When the colonial authorities expelled and suppressed the Tang people, Chen Zhenlu's MCA was able to maintain the interests of the Tang people to the greatest extent. "

After listening to Li Guoren's report, Li Yian nodded slightly and said.

"Guilds always have more or less positive effects. For now, it is indeed in our interests to support them, but they..." Li Yi'an said with a cold smile.

"They are too weak!"

What does it mean to hate iron but not become steel?
In Li Yi'an's eyes, almost all Tang people in Southeast Asia are like this - they don't care about politics at all. Even if they try a little harder, no matter what the result is, he can accept it.

Just like Siam, after realizing that the supporter was red, Li Yian still chose to accept it. No matter it was left or right, as long as the meat can rot in his own pot, it would be a good thing.

Moreover, the ones on the left are more mobile than the ones on the right. Just like Phanom Rong in Siam, he was very violent when liquidating certain people. Although it also caused many Tang people to flee to Nanyang, in general, there was no meat. into the mouths of outsiders.

But the Tang people in other places... generally have no political ambitions, and this is even more obvious in the Malays. What a good condition back then - most of the Malays defected to the Japanese, and only the Tang people resisted. When the British recovered the Malays, It was the Tang people who acted as the vanguard. The original Tang people had a chance to seize power, but...the armed Tang people organizations had to overthrow the British colonial rule and strive for the national liberation of Malaya.

At the same time, the vast majority of Tang people have no interest in politics at all. It should be said that they have always believed that they are Tang people and will return to Tangshan sooner or later. As a result, the Malays gained an advantage.

It is precisely because of this that Li Yian, who has been paying attention to the situation in Malaya, feels annoyed in his heart.

As a member of the Commonwealth and the son-in-law of the British Empire, he could have intervened originally, but the problem was that others did not even give him a chance to intervene until the policy that was not conducive to the Tang people, severely restricting immigrants from obtaining citizenship and granting privileges to Malays. They regretted it only after the Federation Constitution was adopted two years ago.

"Two years ago, when the so-called "United States Constitution" was passed, I thought they would protest and express their opinions. But what happened? Although they regretted it, they accepted it. In this case, let them suffer again. For a while!”

Li Yian said coldly.

"God will help those who help themselves. God will abandon those who abandon themselves. I won't see him for the time being. Send them to Zamboanga and Surabaya to visit. Wait until they understand. If they don't understand, choose other alternatives."

After saying that, Li Yian leaned in front of the case again.

Now his things have become more complicated. A few days ago, Margaret took her children to London by plane.

And what about him?
Here we are waiting for a result. That day is approaching day by day, and everyone who knows is waiting for the final result.

However, only a handful of people in Nanyang know that that day is coming!

"Sir, my suggestion is to go to Zamboanga first. The Surabaya side... is just a city."

"Um,"

Nodding his head nonchalantly, Li Yian said.

"There is no way. The population is there. The population of the Tang Dynasty is too small, but the local indigenous people are tens of millions! What can be done? Can we kill them all? It is not like two hundred years ago. In the whole of Southeast Asia, only Malaya has the greatest potential. , but the premise is that they need to help themselves! They need to have a sense of ownership! Without a sense of ownership, even if we help them now, sooner or later, we will lose the world. "

Li Yian's hand holding the pen paused and said,
"It's different from Zamboanga. In Zamboanga, we have time to teach them and we have time to change everything according to our consciousness. But in Malay, we don't have that opportunity, so they have to rely on themselves for some things! Okay. Now, go to the airport and meet him. Whether the overseas Chinese affairs officer or the diplomatic officer receives him next time depends on his fate! "

Almost at the same time that Li Guoren left the office, the red phone in front of Li Yian's desk rang. After picking up the phone, the voice coming from there was very simple.

"Miss Ping has arrived at her destination."

Then Li Yian, who was on the phone, said "hmm".

"OK, good night."

Putting down the phone, Li Yian murmured to himself.

"Almost, they should be fighting on the peninsula in the past two days. I didn't expect everything to be such a coincidence."

But now, all this is no longer important. What is important is that in a few days, Nanyang will enter the world stage with a brand new attitude!
