Johor Bahru was the capital of Malaysia's state of Johor. It was located at the southernmost tip of the Malay Peninsula and was also the southernmost city in Eurasia. It was across the Johor Strait from its neighbor, Singapore, and was known as the southern gateway of Malaysia.
Since he was not in a hurry, Li He walked and stopped along the way to look around. He had a whole new level of respect for this country with a total population of less than 20 million.
In recent years, Malaysia's economy had been developing well. In 1993, its economic growth rate reached 8.3%, achieving an 8-9% growth rate for the sixth consecutive year. The inflation rate was only 3.6%, and the unemployment rate was 3%. Basically, all of the people were employed. Its foreign exchange reserves reached 19.4 billion US dollars, ranking 11th in the world. Its total import and export trade amounted to nearly 100 billion US dollars.
Its ranking among countries and regions in the world in terms of trade volume rose from 22nd in 1992 to 19th.
Its per capita national income was 3,420 US dollars. All of these showed that Malaysia was not far from entering the ranks of newly industrialized countries.
In terms of per capita, China lost no matter what!
"Low population, high resources, most suitable for lazy people like me. I won't starve to death even if I pluck a banana from a tree!" Li He said as he stood in a manor with a lush orchard in Johor Bahru.
Guo Dongyun smiled. "One-third of Malaysia's population is Chinese. The infrastructure is complete, and the people are well-educated. All of these are favorable conditions for economic development. It can be said to be a country made up of a low-end version of Singapore and a small version of Indonesia. "
"That's why Malaysians have the right to look down on Singapore." Li He smiled and recalled the rumors about the two countries.
Some people in the two countries did not like each other, some envied each other, some felt inferior, and some were proud. In short, it was a complicated relationship.
Guo Dongyun said, "Singapore is on the other side. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Li He thought about it. It would be a little rushed if he went there now, so he said, "The last stop is Singapore. After this visit, we can stay for a while. There's no hurry."
Guo Dongyun continued, "Mr. Huang Yicong sent someone to deliver a jade pillow. He said he bought it at an auction in Hong Kong and wants it to be returned to its original owner."
"Thank him for me. The person who delivered it hasn't left yet, right?" Li He was surprised.
Guo Dongyun said, "No."
Li He said to Qi Hua, "Give him a check, double the auction price. I've accepted the favor, but I can't let him suffer a loss."
"Yes." Qi Hua nodded and turned to leave.
Guo Dongyun said, "I'll inform Shen Daoru so that he doesn't have to continue looking for Mr. Huang."
"Thank you." Li He looked at the green seawater in the distance and suddenly said, "How long has it been since I last went fishing?"
"I'll get you a fishing rod."
Guo Dongyun smiled sweetly and turned to leave.
When he was tired of standing, Li He went to the pavilion in front of him and lay down for a while. He also watched the boxing match on TV with great interest. It was the boxing champion Lewis versus Phil Jackson.
Li He's brain twitched. He turned around and asked Dong Hao behind him, "Who will win, you or Lewis?"
"Ah …" Dong Hao's face twitched violently. He did not know how to answer for a moment!
He couldn't understand why Li He would suddenly ask such a stupid and obvious question!
"You don't know Lewis?" Li He kindly pointed at the TV screen for Dong Hao and said, "Do you see him, the one with the red belt."
After all, Dong Hao did not understand English, so he still needed to explain.
Dong Hao's face turned red. "If I don't run, I won't last five seconds."
"Since when did you have this habit of bragging?" Li He looked at him disdainfully.
"It's me who won't last five seconds." Dong Hao's neck was already red.
He really had the urge to strangle Li He to death!
"Ah …" This time, Li He was surprised. He said with a doubtful look, "You can't be so useless, can you?"
"Everyone has different strengths. They are professional boxers who have been training since they were young. I can't compare to them in other aspects, but I can't even compare to them in terms of resistance training. If I hit them with my fist, it won't be of much use. I've seen the training of the provincial team, let alone the world-class boxing champion. I can't compare to them. "Dong Hao took a deep breath and told the truth!
Seeing Li He's disdainful expression, he could not help but explain, "I'm a security guard. Protecting the target is my first priority. In a real battle, there are guns, so I'm not afraid of anyone."
"With guns?" Li He said carelessly, "Even if Tyson comes, I can still blast him to pieces."
When Li He saw Guo Dongyun coming over with fishing gear, he stood up and patted Dong Hao's shoulder. He comforted him, "Don't be discouraged, keep up the good work."
Dong Hao did not say a word. He had nowhere to vent his anger after hearing Li He's words! He wanted to explain, but he could not! He was so frustrated that he wanted to die!
He was so angry that he wanted to roar at the sky!
Li He sat on the long pier fishing. It was very peaceful.
On the other side of the strait, it was a different scene. It was lively and lively.
Five to six girls were sitting in front of an open-air seafood restaurant by the beach. They were drinking beer and soft drinks. They were all about eighteen or nineteen years old. All of them had smiles on their faces and were chatting and laughing from time to time.
There was only one girl who was unhappy.
A girl with a ponytail looked at the depressed face and said, "It's not easy for everyone to come out. You don't have to be so disappointing, do you?"
"I can't be happy." It was a beautiful girl wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with short hair.
She sat on a chair and swung her long and thin legs. She seemed to be absent-minded.
If Li He was here, he would definitely be shocked. He might not even recognize that this was Five.
Another girl with purple and red dyed hair said, "If there's anything unhappy, say it. Let's all be happy."
"Do you want to die? Don't make fun of me." Five slapped the girl angrily.
"I'm being serious. Say it. What's so unhappy about? Say it. We can all help." The girl with the ponytail said and poured a glass of fruit juice for Five.
Five said dejectedly, "You guys can't help."
"Even if we can't help, we can all share your burden. Maybe you'll feel better if you say it out?" another girl suggested.
Five sighed and said, "You guys know that there's a tyrant in my family. I'm happy to be away from him. But unfortunately, I received news that he's coming to Singapore."
The girl with the ponytail said, "Oh, you're talking about your brother. It's nothing. He won't eat you."
Everyone thought it was something big. After hearing it, they didn't think much of it.
