There was a lounge outside the hall of the conference hall. When Fan Wuyao walked over, he saw several rows of taller sands and coffee tables in the middle. The environment was warmer, and it seemed like a tea bar.

After he sat down, a waiter ran over and asked him what he needed.

Fan Wubing asked for a while to find out that this place is dedicated to providing various ancillary services for the participants, so he asked, "So, what recreational activities do you have here?"

"Some of the recent periodicals are relatively comprehensive. For drinks, there are tea and coffee, as well as fresh milk." The waiter didn't know Fan Wuyi, but seeing him at such a young age, he just walked out of it. I think this is probably the son of someone's boss, but I didn't expect him to be Fan Wuyi, the boss of the well-known Fan Investment Group.

"Then have a cup of green tea, and then show me some financial magazines." Fan Wubing said after thinking for a while.

"Okay." The waiter agreed and turned and left.

Within a few minutes, the waiter brought Fan Wubing the freshly brewed green tea, as well as five or six new financial magazines in Shanghai. In addition, he also brought him a hard-skinned one. The notebook and the signature pen were prepared for his need to take notes.

"Thank you." Fan Wubing is more satisfied with the service attitude here. It is much easier to stay here than to listen to those experts who do not distinguish between politics, business and academics.

"You're welcome, just ask us if you need it." The waiter smiled slightly, then turned and left.

Fan Wubing nodded, and while drinking tea, he flipped through his magazines. Recently, domestic and international news mainly revolved around the two main topics of Southeast Asia's economic recovery and the U.S. network economy.

It has been more than half a year since the riots in Indonesia. With the financial assistance of Fan Wuyi, the Habibie government has made great efforts in economic development to clean up the mess left by Suharto.

Economically, Indonesia's inflation increased by nearly 50% in the first half of this year, an increase of about 60% compared with the figure in the same period last year. Indonesia experienced drastic changes in the months before the riots. First, it encountered a severe drought, which caused crop yields to be lost, and then was hit by the financial turmoil sweeping Asia. The Indonesian rupiah depreciated by 70%, and the government cut subsidies for necessities, leading to soaring prices. People's lives are generally difficult, causing social turmoil.

Politically, Su Hato’s 32-year rule of the Communist Party has already aroused dissatisfaction in the hearts of the people. In the case of a severe economic recession, this dissatisfaction exploded. At the same time, domestic anti-Suharto forces also contributed to the flames, using the power of the people to achieve the purpose of overthrowing Suharto. As the basis of Suharto's rule, the army that has always been loyal to him has also split.

Internationally, the United States and the International Monetary Fund ImF put pressure on the Indonesian government to provide economic assistance and loans as conditions, requiring the Indonesian side to carry out economic reforms in accordance with its proposed plan, which led to the soaring domestic electricity and oil prices in Indonesia. At the same time, the Southeast Asian financial crisis has exploded. Affected by it, the situation in Indonesia, which is at the center of the storm, is particularly severe.

These direct causes led the government to increase the price of electricity, transportation, fuel, etc., and caused social unrest. The military police shot and killed students and civilians, which finally led to an escalation of the riots.

However, under Fan Wuyao’s intervention, the riots were finally restricted to a controllable range, and Habibie, who was supposed to be a transitional president, also eased relations with China at this time. It was further supported by Fan Wuyi's US$50 billion in aid, which defeated the conspiracy of the United States and the International Monetary Fund and ensured economic autonomy.

Under the influence of Fan Wuyi and the general sympathy and strong pressure of international public opinion, Habibi, who succeeded Suharto as Indonesian president, realized the mistakes of his predecessor and adopted a more progressive attitude on the issue of Chinese people. Not only did he personally go to Jakarta. The Chinese settlements inspected the people’s conditions and formally stated that on behalf of the Indonesian government and the people of the whole country, they condemned the incidents of harming Chinese and ** women in some areas during the riots as the most inhumane incident in Indonesian history. They promised to strictly investigate and bring the rioters and murderers to justice, and Ensure that such incidents will not repeat themselves.

The Habibie government also stated that it treats all Indonesians, including Chinese, without discrimination, and ordered that the stamping of special markings on Chinese ID cards be stopped, and the special administrative control and some discriminatory laws and regulations on Chinese people should be cancelled.

After Habibie successfully eliminated the opposition and pro-Suharto forces within the military, and formed a new government, Indonesia began the process of democracy, and continued to adopt a series of mitigation efforts* and measures to improve the situation of the Chinese. Such as participating in the United Nations Convention on the Abolition of Racial Discrimination, abolishing measures that discriminate against Chinese, legislating to protect Chinese, allowing Chinese to enjoy the same freedom of belief, association, procession, and demonstrations as other citizens, allowing Chinese to exhibit their own culture, use Chinese and Chinese, and restore China Journals, Chinese Education and Chinese Schools, bring Chinese education into the mainstream of national education, list Chinese as a second language along with English and Japanese, designate universities to set up advanced Chinese classes, and all positions in national administrative, judicial, procuratorial, and educational institutions The Chinese are open, Confucianism is recognized as a legal religion, and the Chinese are allowed to freely hold religious beliefs or folklore activities, etc.

According to some topics that Habibi recently mentioned to Fan Wuyao, he also promised that he will join some senior officials of the Indonesian government this year to participate in the Chinese New Year celebration and Yuanxiao Festival held by Indonesian Chinese.

Among the magazines provided by the organizers of these conferences, Fan Wubing unexpectedly discovered that there was an "Interview with Oriental News" that he had never heard of before, and this magazine was also the only one positively mentioned about Some of the views and arguments in magazines about the story of the riots in Indonesia and the financial crisis in Southeast Asia are more pertinent and novel.

"Is President Fan paying attention to our magazine?" Someone interrupted Fan Wu's thinking.

Fan Wubian looked up, but found that the beautiful reporter he met before entering the venue, that is, the reporter of "Oriental News Interview", was standing beside him and smiling. I looked at myself, and the "Oriental News Interview" magazine in my hands.

Turning his head in this direction, he just saw Sheng Wei's full body, of course, through the clothes.

Probably Sheng Wei was still very uncomfortable with being viewed from this angle of his height, so he hugged his hand bag in front of his chest, and then looked at Fan Wuyao, as if waiting for his answer.

Fan Wubing also felt that it was a bit indecent to look at people in this way, so he stood up, closed the magazine, and stood face to face with Shengwei. He asked curiously, "Why did Miss Sheng suddenly come in? Didn’t you just squat outside before?"

Sheng smiled, and then replied, "Our boss has spent a lot of effort, and finally got a license for in-depth interviews before the summit closed. Now our magazine has the same treatment as other mainstream media, otherwise It's impossible to see Mr. Fan here."

"That's to congratulate you, um, your magazine is also doing well." Fan Wuyao nodded and said.

In all fairness, the magazine "Oriental News Interview" is still doing a good job. One of the things that attracts Fan Wuyi most is that they are more courageous, and they have indeed maintained their own style in independent journalism. After all, the domestic news media remained silent about the riots in Indonesia, and there were indeed few who dared to report positively.

Sheng Wei said, "Thank you, Mr. Fan, for your support. I just saw that you are reading reports about Indonesia. Why not talk about your views on the issue of anti-Chinese in Indonesia?"

"Have I promised to be interviewed?" Fan Wubing asked with a smile.

"At least you have no objections." Sheng smiled.

Fan Wubing laughed, and then said, "I don't really want to talk about this issue, but since there are not many domestic media reporting, and your magazines have been tracking the progress in this regard, I might as well say casually. A few words."

"Listen carefully." Sheng Wei took out the recording pen, then took out the notebook, put it on the table very seriously, sat down, and looked at Fan Wubing with full attention.

"Your posture is a bit too formal." Fan Wuyao said after looking at it, "It makes me a little uncomfortable, like at a State Council press conference."

Fan Wubing beckoned, and immediately called a waiter over, and ordered him to bring Shengwei a cup of tea, and then said to Shengwei, "The root cause of the Indonesian anti-Chinese incident is nothing more than two points. One is economy and the other is religion. As for some other reasons, they are all dependent on these two reasons."

"Can you be more specific?" Sheng Wei asked as he raised his head while typing on the keyboard of his notebook.

The difference in economic income is an important factor in inducing Indonesia's anti-Chinese trend. In Indonesia, the gap between the rich and the poor is very wide. Most Indonesians did not get rid of poverty after the country became independent. Instead, their lives became increasingly distressed, forming a large and large class of poor people and becoming a potential threat to social unrest in Indonesia.

Like the local people, most of the Indonesian Chinese are working people, and they are also in the middle and lower classes of Indonesian society. However, with their special business talents and hard work, as well as historical, professional and other factors, the Chinese in Indonesia It has made relatively outstanding achievements in industry and commerce, forming a Chinese artificial commercial group, which has obvious advantages in economic life.

"From an overall point of view, the living standard of Chinese families is also significantly higher than that of local families. In particular, some Chinese entrepreneurs have a very close relationship with the upper echelons of the Indonesian government, and use this close relationship between government and business cooperation and benefit sharing. As a result, he became a mobster with extravagant life and was very eye-catching.” Fan Wuyao said eloquently. “Therefore, there is a common impression in Indonesian society that the Chinese are rich, and the Chinese control Indonesia’s economy and wealth and exploit the locals. The poverty of the ethnic and local people is caused by the exploitation of the Chinese. Indonesian nationalists naturally cannot tolerate this phenomenon. Some interest groups in the Indonesian ruling class who have not been able to share the benefits from the Chinese economy are also concerned. Coupled with the rants and exaggerations of politicians and propaganda tools, when the political situation is slightly turbulent, the dissatisfaction and anger of the poor people towards the inequality of the rich and the poor will erupt like a volcano, and the Chinese people whose income is different from their income will be like a volcano. Will be hit first."

Sheng Wei recorded it very seriously and also raised a question, "Mr. Fan, you just said that religious issues are also the main reason for the hatred of the Chinese in Indonesian society. How did you come to this conclusion?"

Fan Wubing nodded and replied, "The religious beliefs of the Indonesian Chinese are very complicated. Various religions such as Mahayana Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Christianity, and Islam all have a large number of believers among the Indonesian Chinese. At the same time, Indonesian Chinese still have many followers. Advocating ancestor worship. Chinese groups from different regions, speaking different dialects, engaging in different industries, and having different surnames also believe in special gods. For example, Hakkas believe in Da Pegong, Hokkiens believe in Mazu, Hainanese believe in Empress Goddess, and carpenters respect Mr. Lubanzu, etc. Although Indonesia is also a country with diverse religions, Islam has taken an absolute advantage in Indonesian society. After Indonesia’s independence, UU reading www.uukanshu.com received the support and encouragement of the government, and Islam is in the The influence in Indonesian society has expanded rapidly and rose to a dominant religion. Islam is a highly exclusive religion. The core of its doctrine is to believe in God, and there are no gods other than God. The more Devout and conservative Muslims have limited tolerance for other religions and cultures, and naturally they cannot get along with the many gods believed by the Chinese. Therefore, religious differences and conflicts have often become an extremely sensitive person who induces anti-Chinese riots in Indonesian society. Potential factors."

Sheng Wei asked Fan Wubing a lot of questions, from the Southeast Asian financial crisis to the Internet economy, from the domestic real estate New Deal to the stock market downturn. He continued to talk about it for about an hour, knowing that Shengwei felt his own When my fingers were a little tired from typing and typing, I stopped.

"Can I ask you another question?" Sheng Wei asked.

"The last one, I can't talk about it anymore, but it will expose all personal affair." Fan Wuyao replied.

"Can you talk about it, what do you think of Chinese football?" Sheng Wei asked.

Fan Wubing's face changed, and then he waved his hands in a hurry to refuse, "I think you should ask me a personal question. I really have nothing to say about Chinese football."
