Remember [ ] in one second, and provide you with wonderful novel reading.
PS. Here is today's update, and by the way, vote for the 515 Fan Festival of "Qidian". Everyone has 8 votes, and you can also get Qidian coins for voting. I beg everyone to support and appreciate!
"Thank you very much!" Lin Feng smiled and expressed his gratitude for this visa-free qualification.
Lee Kuan Yew and his son also smiled. This Singapore visa-free qualification is naturally not a bargaining chip, or a condition of exchange, it is purely a gift.
Lin Feng accepted it, and the negotiation between the two sides began.
"Mr. Lin, for the Chinese compatriots coming to Singapore, there are some legal difficulties, so please help promote it. We will set up a Chinese travel website to help Chinese compatriots travel to Singapore more conveniently, and launch more Chinese services!" Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said with a smile.
The official languages of Singapore are English, Malay, Tamil and Chinese. After all, 77% of Singaporeans are Chinese, and Chinese should theoretically be the number one language. But the reality is that most of the yellow-skinned, black-haired, black-eyed Chinese you see speak fluent English.
Because the government does not attach importance to the popularization of Chinese education, English is the first language. Chinese is only extremely popular among the elderly, and they can understand it. But among the young people, most speak English, and few can speak Chinese. But there are still many who can understand it. After all, most of the elderly in the family can speak Chinese. It is normal to understand but not speak it.
Therefore, language is not a problem for Chinese people to travel to Singapore at present.
As for why the government does not recommend Chinese, the reason is very simple. It is not simply to draw a clear line with China, but because of one point, Singapore has nothing. It is poorer than Japan and lacks geographical resource advantages. All Singapore can have is trade! And English is the world's first language. You must learn English to communicate with people.
Fluent English. It is undoubtedly better than fluent Chinese to survive in this cruel international social environment.
"Then thank ****** on behalf of Chinese tourists!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
Lin Feng still supports Singapore's promotion of Chinese. After all, this is conducive to the promotion of Chinese culture. And this has always been what Lin Feng is doing.
In fact, if we really want to talk about the promotion of Chinese culture, it has already spread all over the world. Chinese people not only have the largest population in the world in mainland China, but also the largest population of Chinese descent in the world. Han culture has actually spread to every corner of the world.
It is just a bit frustrating that these are not systematically spread, and each has its own strengths, which cannot let outsiders really understand Chinese culture.
The brilliance of Chinese culture cannot be spread by a few people alone, so that outsiders can really understand Chinese culture. It takes a group of people to spend several years or even decades to truly promote it. At the same time, more Chinese people need to accept the things passed down by their ancestors.
And these require a certain amount of time and certain skills. It is absolutely not possible to copy and paste.
For example, Lin Feng knows that when he advocated Chinese culture and was determined to make it glorious again, some places began to forcefully and arbitrarily require students to recite "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", "Disciples' Rules" and so on.
Is it good to recite such things? Lin Feng will not arbitrarily say it is good or bad. But if you arbitrarily require all students to recite it by administrative order. If you aim to memorize it, then it is meaningless.
The ancients recited it because it was actually the summary of their predecessors' hard work and their personal understanding of the world. After thousands of years of development, many things have changed. The times are changing, the social system is changing, and everything is different from thousands of years ago. If you still copy it mechanically, it will be counterproductive.
And if you just want to please Lin Feng, and let students recite the so-called "Disciples' Rules", then it is even more meaningless!
With the stepping stone of visa-free travel, the two sides reached cooperation in many fields in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere. Naturally, Lin Feng also promised to invest in many fields in Singapore.
Of course, the most critical thing is tourism. Singapore's land area is too small, so they hope to build an island with Lin Feng! Build an island! A large enough artificial island, like Palm Island in Dubai, to drive more people to travel to Singapore.
In terms of island building, Lin Feng is also an expert. Of course, the key point of Singapore attracting Lin Feng to invest is the ownership of the artificial island.
Lin Feng built this island, and the ownership belongs to Lin Feng completely. The Singapore government has no control over this island except for collecting legal taxes.
Of course, is this enough to attract Lin Feng? How much does it cost to build an island in Singapore? At least tens of billions of dollars. Land reclamation, island building, artificial embankments, various buildings on the island, fresh water treatment, etc., all kinds of troubles, one after another. And the most important thing is that if you build an artificial island, you have to attract enough people to come and travel, otherwise how can you recover the cost?
Although Singapore is a tourist country, it does not have any attractions. Apart from the cultural landscape, there are no other attractions to attract tourists. As for the islands, unlike the Maldives, which has countless corals and fish, and unlike Dubai, which has a desert and a sea that connects the sky and the sky, Singapore has built an artificial island with almost nothing.
Why did Lin Feng invest so much? This almost only brings benefits to Singapore, but not to Lin Feng. In addition, Lee Hsien Loong also required that only Singaporean employees can be hired for the entire island, including future management, and only Singaporeans can be employed in the middle and lower levels.
It can be said that this condition is very harsh. But Lin Feng still agreed.
What is the reason? It is the geographical location of this island.
Singapore controls the Strait of Malacca and is close to the South China Sea. And on this island, Singapore allows Chinese military warships to be stationed. This alone is enough for Lin Feng to agree.
At present, China does not have an aircraft carrier fleet, and it is impossible for Lin Feng's aircraft carrier fleet to be given to the country. As for the South China Sea issue, Lin Feng is trying to solve it by building a four-nation alliance through Nguyen Tan Dung to completely solve the South China Sea issue and give China an outlet to the sea. But what if it fails?
This is a backup plan. It can help the Chinese Navy stabilize the situation in the South China Sea. At the same time, controlling the Strait of Malacca can also constrain other Asian countries. Therefore, it is only a few hundred billion US dollars to invest, which Lin Feng can afford and does not care.
But in return, it is China's absolute influence on the whole of Asia!
