Supreme Golden Pupils - Chapter 339 Habibie's Scheming

After entering May, the situation in Jakarta became more and more tense every day. There was a sense of restlessness in the air, like a powder keg that might be detonated at any time. Even ordinary people felt the unusual atmosphere, especially It is some Chinese who opened a shop to do business. In the past few days, they closed their shop early before it got dark, trying to avoid possible disasters. 【 】It's just that they can never guess how tragic the situation will befall them in a few days.

These days, Ling Shaonan has been living in the manor outside Jakarta, mixing with the members of the Chongshan Special Forces every day, using the weapons smuggled in some time ago to give them final training until the evening of May 5th His peaceful life was broken when he received an unexpected phone call.

It is normal to receive calls. These days, he has to answer several calls from home, Lingtian Investment Group headquarters, Li Yunqing and Li Peiyang every day, but this call is different.

"You mean, Vice President Habibie is going to visit me? Okay, I understand. Please, President STÜKEN. If it is convenient, you can come over with Vice President Habibie at night. Because of confidentiality, I will not personally Please tell Vice President Habibie, I hope he can understand." Ling Shaonan's tone was full of surprise, as if the information on the other end of the phone was far beyond his expectations.

But this is normal, who is Habibie?The vice president of Indonesia, a country with a population of more than 4000 million, is now acting as president when President Suharto went to Egypt to attend the 15-country summit. Although Ling Shaonan has developed smoothly in recent years, whether it is domestic or foreign Abroad, he hasn't had much dealings with politicians, especially big figures like the president of a country.Therefore, it was a normal reaction for Ling Shaonan to be surprised when he suddenly heard that Habibi was coming to visit him.

However, this surprise only lasted for a few seconds. After putting down the phone, Ling Shaonan quickly calmed down. After a few minutes of silence, a clear smile appeared on his face, and his mouth gently He spit out a sentence: "I see! It seems that Habibi did not rely entirely on Suharto's care to climb to the current position. He is not an easy person, but this is a good thing for me. Opportunity, perhaps, the harvest of this trip to Indonesia will far exceed the previous expectations."

The caller was Ling Shaonan's agent in Indonesia, Andis Sidek, the president of Baida Group, a native born and bred, but unlike ordinary Indonesian natives, he not only does not hate the Chinese, but also has a hardworking trait in them. Very admirable Indonesian.

On the phone, apart from the polite words to prevent people from eavesdropping and discovering the real relationship between them, Sidek only conveyed the original words of Indonesian Vice President Habibi-wanting to visit Ling Shaonan tonight, what else He didn't say anything, because he believed that with the wisdom of the boss, this sentence was enough for him to deduce all the reasons.

The fact is exactly the same, Ling Shaonan quickly guessed the cause and effect of this matter thoroughly, that's why he said what he said just now.

Habibi, the son of an Islamic missionary, recognized Suharto, who was a junior military officer at the time, as his adoptive father when he was 13 years old. After nearly 50 years, the relationship between the two is extremely close. Come on, the relationship between them is not father and son but better than father and son, even closer than Suharto's own son, even Ling Shaonan thought so before.

It is precisely because of this close relationship that in the Indonesian general election that just passed, Suharto, in spite of criticism and opposition from all parties, hand-picked Habibie, who has no political capital or military background, as the vice president, and insisted that he is the "Indonesian leader". The best son", publicly declared that he had "high hopes" for him.

However, just now, the phone call from Sidek made Ling Shaonan's impression of Habibi completely changed. He was keenly aware of the fact that the other party wanted to visit him: the reason why Suharto put Habibi Bibi was pushed to the position of vice president, not because of how close the relationship between the two is, but to make him a scapegoat for the economic crisis that has not yet passed and caused great harm to Indonesia, and even wants to scapegoat the upcoming All the blame for the anti-Chinese incident that happened was pushed to him!

Otherwise, why didn't Suharto leave sooner or later, but why did he go to Egypt thousands of miles away at this juncture and let Habibie act as president?

And Habibie?Obviously not willing to bear all this, he wants to be the real president of Indonesia, not just a puppet of Suharto!

However, in order to gain Suharto's trust and prevent the other party from feeling that he would threaten his status, Habibie has worked hard to create an image of himself as "unrealistic, big and useless" in the past few decades, even at the expense of following the army. Fang completely broke up the relationship and implemented the so-called new economic policy, messing up the relationship with the traditional business and financial circles!

Facts have proved that Habibie made the right move in this risky move. No one in Indonesia or even in the international community thinks that he can actually perform his duties well, but only treats him as a transitional figure, which allows him to successfully grab the The high position of the vice president will even be pushed to the throne of the president by Suharto who resigned in the near future!

However, there is another problem facing Habibi now: the president cannot be a polished commander, he must have enough powerful support to be able to secure his position, otherwise he will really only have to make a transition as the outside world commented. Step down, and this is obviously not what Habibie wants, otherwise, what's the point of him hiding his strength and biding his time for decades?

Therefore, after entering the center of power, Habibi set his sights on forces that had no conflict of interest with him, or that he had not offended. At this time, the Baida Group, which had sprung up in recent years, entered his sight. Thanks to his deliberate friendship, the relationship between Sedek and him can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds, and there is a faint meaning of supporting him to secure the presidential throne.

However, one Baida Group is not enough. Although the Baida Group has developed rapidly in the past two years, it is a newly rising force after all, and it is still inferior to the deep-rooted old forces.So Habibie set his sights further afield.

In the opinion of some experts and scholars, Habibie insisted on anti-traditional economic concepts such as sharp rises and falls in interest rates and high interest rates leading to inflation in this economic crisis because he did not understand the economy at all, and he was giving instructions blindly. I know that his purpose of doing this is to deal the greatest blow to the inherent economic forces in Indonesia, weaken their forces, thereby leaving room for the introduction of new economic forces, and then win them over to let them become his arm!

I have to say that Habibie was lucky, he succeeded!It was against this background that the Huamao Group developed rapidly, and its total assets expanded to billions of dollars. It became an important agricultural giant in Indonesia and even extended its influence to several other Southeast Asian countries.

So, what's next?Of course, he wanted to win over this emerging big group and let them use it for himself, otherwise why did he spend so much effort? !

Originally, this step should have been carried out a long time ago, but too many things have happened recently, especially after taking over the post of vice president, the government has to put its own people in, and in order not to cause Suharto Waiting for people's vigilance, everything must be done carefully, which involved all of Habibie's energy.

According to Habibie's original plan, this process will take almost half a year to complete.However, according to the news that he placed in the military's inside line, in recent days, the senior generals of the military have been planning a big operation, and the time left for him is running out. If the military people succeed , the development of the situation will be completely out of his control, even if the layout of decades does not completely collapse, it will be severely damaged, and it will be difficult to have a chance to make a comeback!

Therefore, in a hurry, Habibi got in touch with Li Peiyang through STÜKEN, who has some business contacts with Huamao Group.Originally, Habibi wanted to visit Li Peiyang, but after knowing from him that the boss of Huamao Group is now in Indonesia, he naturally wouldn't lose everything, so he proposed to visit Ling Shaonan.

…………

Contacting the situation he knew, Ling Shaonan quickly guessed Habibi's thoughts. Although he didn't know the other party's overall layout very well, this did not prevent him from admiring and admiring Habibi: To be able to endure to such an extent, With decades of hard work, taking advantage of the unprecedented opportunity of the economic crisis to make a sudden effort to overthrow all the old forces and create a new sky, this kind of perseverance, vision and courage are really rare!Habibie, the Indonesian vice president who is underestimated by the world, can really be called a generation of heroes!

However, in the original "history", although Habibie obtained the power of the president as he wished, he eventually stepped down because of strong opposition from the military and lack of strong supporters himself. The chances were completely shattered.Now, with Ling Shaonan as a variable, there is another possibility in the future. It depends on whether Habibi can grasp it, or in other words, depends on whether he can raise enough chips.
