Even without any verbal threats, everyone knew that angering Zheng Li would result in his wrath.
Zheng Li has demonstrated both his ability and willingness to deter others to the fullest extent.
Naturally, no one dared to provoke this bad luck.
Even if Goryeo is arrogant, they don't think they can take down Zheng Li on their own, especially since it's on Chinese territory.
Korea's rationality and composure thwarted Japan's plans.
"They contacted me from Singapore through very discreet channels, expressing their desire to talk to you."
The price offered by the other party was far beyond our expectations.
I was deeply impressed by their work.
In fact, all the senior executives in Singapore have Zheng Li on WeChat.
After Zheng Li returned to China, Chen Yongcai would often send him some interesting papers.
Zheng Li will also reply with some content.
The reason why Singaporean officials dared not send messages to Zheng Li on WeChat was because they were worried that China would find out.
Unbeknownst to them, Zheng Li had taken measures to protect the privacy of his chat logs.
Unless he chooses to, no third party on Earth can know his information.
"Do we really have to offer Zheng Li such a price?"
Singapore's century-old foundation has been laid for the benefit of others in a single day.
Do we really need to go this far?
Ho Ching could not understand Lee Hsien Lung's decision.
Compared to his father, Lee Hsien Loong can be considered a politician, but he is still not far from being a first-rate politician.
He studied mathematics at Cambridge and even graduated first in his class, but later did not continue his career in mathematics because he had to go back to inherit the family business.
As Lee Hsien Loong's wife and a senior executive at Tamsui Holdings, Ho Ching couldn't understand why he wanted to give up the entire Singapore as a condition of the deal to Cheng Li.
In Ho Ching's view, no matter how the situation changes, Singapore's status remains unchanged.
Singapore is just one city, and even with the resources owned by the Singaporean government, it is enough to support the entire nation.
Moreover, as the financial center of Asia, it has actually left Hong Kong, which is of equal status, far behind in recent years.
"Because the logic is different. If Earth were still stuck in the Earth era, then no one could shake Lion City's position."
However, judging from Zheng Li's style of doing things and the tendency he showed in posting missions on the magic forum, it is clear that Zheng Li is trying to push the entire Blue Star into the space age by himself.
Now that we've entered the space age, can Singapore really rely on its past status?
Zheng Li's technological advantage over Blue Star is overwhelming. Even in the financial field, which you are proud of, it is as easy to push over as mud and sand in the face of technology.
The SWIFT international banking settlement system, previously dominated by the American people, was easily destroyed by Zheng Li's currency bridge.
In the future, humans may indeed build cities on the moon and transport lunar resources back to Earth.
At the same time, large-scale colonization of Mars.
According to my and my team's estimates, it will take anywhere from twenty to fifty years for interstellar living spaces on Earth, the Moon, and Mars to begin to take shape.
Similarly, this is a holistic project, which involves a large number of technological iterations.
Faced with this level of technological iteration, I have no confidence that Singapore can maintain its current status for the next fifty years.
If we lose our status as an international maritime transshipment center, and then lose our status as the financial center of Asia, what difference does it make whether Singapore is in our hands or not?
Although Lee Hsien Loong lacks political skill, he has a keen political sense.
At the same time, due to their technical background, they have a very forward-looking judgment on the changes that technological development brings to society.
Singapore restricts politics in the name of security, relying on the Internal Security Act, a legacy of England, which allows authorities to detain anyone deemed a threat to security for up to two years.
"And more importantly, we cannot hold power forever."
If I can maintain power, the next one can too, but what about the one after that?
Unlike the Thai royal family, we cannot nominally achieve hereditary succession, although we do operate that way in practice.
However, future generations will lack the political skills to maintain the current situation, and they will face reckoning.
In particular, with the integration and development of Blue Star technology and the technology of the mage civilization, the rapid development of technology will cause the situation to become unbalanced.
This could lead to the continuation of this situation and place higher demands on our next generation.
Why not use Singapore as a bargaining chip to get what we want?
In reality, the internal conflicts within the Li family were irreconcilable.
Lee Hsien Loong's sister publicly sued him, posting on Facebook:
"The most important point I want to make is that if he can abuse his power to mistreat his brothers and sisters who are able to fight back, what can he do to ordinary citizens?"
This kind of public questioning has happened many times, not just once or twice.
His brother, who is in charge of the Singapore Civil Aviation Authority and is a well-known figure in Singapore, also joined his sister in suing Lee Hsien Loong.
He was even forced to leave Singapore for Hong Kong, fearing retaliation from Lee Hsien Loong.
Such internal conflicts virtually eliminated the possibility of passing Singapore to his siblings.
As for Lee Hsien Loong's son, one has albinism and autism, and his appearance and communication skills alone make it impossible for him to inherit his position.
Why don't you ask Hongyi for his opinion?
Did you ask him what he thought?
