As the two of them were talking, a girl in a floral dress appeared beside Guo Dongyun. Before she could say a few words, Guo Dongyun said, "Be clear about your priorities. Mr. Li is the big boss. There's nothing to hide. Just say it."
The girl placed the two newspapers on the table and glanced at Li He. Then, she continued, "According to public information, Fujita Group's Fujita Chemicals and BP Chemicals of England plan to invest 120 billion yen in Malaysia to build an ethylene plant with an annual output of 300,000 tons …"
"You can use English or Cantonese." Li He was very tired of listening to the broken Mandarin.
The girl immediately replied in English, "Low production line polyethylene and high-density polyethylene, ethylbenzene."
She was visibly more relaxed.
"Why would there be a British company? When I was in Hong Kong, didn't the news say that Malaysia was sanctioning Britain? "
Li He was a little confused. Wasn't this treating Mahathir's words as farts?
Since Mahathir came to power in 1981, Malaysia's economy had advanced by leaps and bounds, leaping from a backward agricultural country to a newly industrialized country, thus winning the honor of "Best Economic Performance" in the world, making neighboring Singapore, one of the "Four Asian Dragons" look at Malaysia in a different light.
Since 1989, in particular, Malaya has had an average annual growth rate of
% is up.
This Old Comrade Ma from a foreign country was a little inflated.
Therefore, in the middle of February, when the British newspaper "The Sunday Times" published an article claiming that British companies had sold 1 billion pounds worth of defense equipment to Malaysia, and even made groundless accusations that all Malaysian officials, starting from Prime Minister Mahathir, had been bribed, Old Ma Tongzhi was furious. On behalf of the Malaysian government, he immediately announced a ban on all imports of British products and services, and demanded an apology from the British government.
The relationship between the two countries was still in a tense state.
Faced with the arrogant Malaysian, the Englishman looked helpless.
The girl in the floral dress continued, "That was last year's agreement, and it will continue to be implemented this year. And formally speaking, this ban only applies to the products and services purchased by the Malaysian government from the United Kingdom. The private sector is also free to import. The impact on investment is not great at the moment, but it is unknown in the long term. "
Li He scratched his head and said, "Ethylene, huh. It's a little hard to deal with."
Ethylene was the basic raw material of the petrochemical industry. It was known as the 'Mother of Petrochemicals'. Ethylene production technology was the core technology of petrochemical industry, and ethylene equipment was the core equipment of petrochemical industry.
The technical level, output, and scale of ethylene symbolize the development level of a country's petrochemical industry.
In this regard, Li He was a layman, and he had no idea what stage the ethylene level in China was at.
Wanting to be a part of this sounds so difficult?
He thought for a while and continued to ask, "What is the division of labor between BP and Japanese Benzene?"
The girl said, "The polyethylene is made with the technology of the British BP Chemical Company, and the ethylbenzene is made with the technology of the Japanese Izumo Petrochemical Company and Fujita Chemical Company. That's all we know."
Guo Dongyun said, "Try to find out more. The more detailed the better."
"Okay, Miss Guo, I'll leave first." The girl turned around and left.
Li He turned to ask Qi Hua, who was behind him, "What's the name of the oil and gas company?"
He patted her a few times. He had clearly seen her several times at the conference. He had introduced himself when they met and when he went out, but he just couldn't remember.
Qi Hua looked confused. He hadn't had time to memorize all this information.
"CEO Wang." Dong Hao responded at the right time.
"Yes, he seems to be here too. Since you know him, go and find out which hotel he is staying at." It was not Li Lao Er's style not to cause trouble for the Japanese.
"Zhou Tao." Guo Dongyun ordered a tall young man behind her, "You drive and accompany Mr. Dong."
"Yes." The young man called Zhou Tao nodded at Dong Hao, and the two left together.
After eating, Li He, accompanied by Guo Dongyun, began to go deep into the streets and alleys of Kuala Lumpur. He didn't have any. He just drove on Route 11.
Li He, who was in Malaysia for the first time, was surprised by many things. The most surprising thing was that the Malaysian Chinese could be so fluent in Mandarin. Most of the Malaysian Chinese that he came into contact with were proficient in three or more Chinese dialects: Hokkien, Cantonese, and Hakka. They could switch seamlessly, and this did not include other languages, such as English and Malay.
This made him feel ashamed!
Even if he included Dutch and Cantonese, he only knew two languages.
"Sigh, if you didn't speak, I would have thought that you were from China. I would never have thought that you were Malaysian." Li He was very surprised.
"Not Malaysian, but Malaysian Chinese." Guo Dongyun didn't know how many times she had corrected Li He, but no matter how troublesome it was, she would definitely remind Li He seriously.
"Sorry." Li He apologized for his slip of the tongue.
Before Guo Dongyun could say anything, the secretary behind her passed the phone to her and she answered it.
The conversation was in Hokkien, and Li He couldn't understand a word, so he just strolled by himself.
Guo Dongyun chased after him. After thinking for a while, she said seriously, "Mr. Guo wants to treat you to a meal. I don't know if you would do me the honor."
Li He asked in confusion, "Which Mr. Guo?"
Guo Dongyun said arrogantly, "There is only one Mr. Guo in the whole of Southeast Asia."
"Are you talking about the Sugar King?" Li He was a little confused by Guo Dongyun's respectful tone. He teased, "Oh, right. He's also the Hotel King, right? They both have the surname Guo, but why is there such a big difference? "
"Nonsense." Guo Dongyun blushed and said seriously, "What do you say? Should I go or not? I'll listen to you. "
"Of course, why wouldn't I go? He's treating me to a meal, and I'd be a fool not to go." Li He also wanted to meet this legendary person. This person was so low-key that it made people's hair stand on end. There were basically only a few photos of him published by the media.
Many people had not even heard of this person's name, but when the Golden Arowana and Shangri-La were mentioned, almost everyone knew him.
If it was in his previous life, he would definitely not be able to enter the door. How could he have the opportunity to be invited like now? He immediately asked, "When?"
"Tonight."
“no
Li He snapped his fingers.
"Okay." Guo Dongyun gave the secretary a look, and the secretary picked up the phone to return the call.
Li He said, "Then what do you think I should give him?"
Guo Dongyun said, "Mr. Guo's family doesn't lack anything, so it doesn't really matter."
Li He rolled his eyes at her and said, "It's not for you. Of course it doesn't matter to you."
"Then we'll see." Guo Dongyun didn't want to persuade him anymore.
"There's a Four Treasures of the Study, right?"
