Luo Yiqiang, Xing Baohua remembers, is of Chinese descent, but he was originally a Malaysian Chinese. He later changed his citizenship to American while studying in the US, and was lured here by a high-paying job.
These foreign nationals are under close surveillance. We mustn't let them know that the government and certain departments are suspicious of them. Otherwise, it will discourage many more innocent people.
There will always be a few who serve others; just find them.
So you can't glean anything from a single telegram; Bak Kut Teh is a favorite among Chinese people in Malaysia.
It is especially famous in Klang, Malaysia.
Besides, based on just that one sentence, if you miss home, just make some bak kut teh yourself. Xing Baohua couldn't sense anything wrong with the other person.
But he still somewhat believed that Captain Han's statement was problematic, after all, the latter was the professional.
Captain Han said to Xing Baohua, "Find a way to lure the person out, and we'll make a secret arrest."
"Wait a minute! For Luo Yiqiang, coming to China is like being far from home, practically living abroad. You've been to other places before. If your family sends you a letter, just say you miss home and make yourself some dumplings."
That's the gist of it, and he got arrested. Isn't that unfair? I'm not trying to defend him or anything; Malaysians eat Bak Kut Teh all the time. Maybe this Luo Yiqiang just likes Bak Kut Teh, or pork trotters in vinegar, or fried prawn noodles, chicken rice, duck rice, char siu rice, etc. I don't see anything wrong with that!
"What you say makes sense, but this telegram didn't come from Malaysia, it came from the Chief Minister. The sender is unknown, and according to his file, he has no relatives in the country."
Xing Baohua laughed and said, "What if I have a friend?"
"Whether this friend is good or bad, we need to arrest him and ask him."
"Your reason is a bit weak. If it's not true, the impact will be far more than just a little. It wasn't easy to bring some people back with the rice. We can't let them get scared and run away!"
"Since I dare to say this, I have a certain degree of confidence. Trust me," Captain Han said.
"This isn't urgent. I'll go back and have a heart-to-heart talk with him myself, and see how he'll cover up his friend Shou D's lie. Also, I suggest you investigate whether there are any Malaysian or American students or staff in Shou D's various colleges. I'm just worried that there might be a classmate or fellow countryman among them."
When are you going back?
"The talks with Poly haven't made any progress yet. It'll probably take a few more days. But a few more days won't make a difference. Let's wait and see."
"Alright, it's your company anyway. As long as they don't endanger national security, I can leave it alone for now." After saying that, Captain Han finished his water and said goodbye to Xing Baohua.
Watching Captain Han leave, Xing Baohua felt even more troubled. There was a reason why he temporarily helped Luo Yiqiang block the way.
He was afraid that the foreign staff at the rice lab would be disheartened! Xing Baohua believed that there must be other people hiding in the lab.
Luo Yiqiang has temporarily disappeared, and those lurking agents will spread rumors, etc.
The team at the Rice Lab is becoming increasingly difficult to manage.
Will Captain Han consider the future regarding rice? No, he won't consider that much for you.
That day, Xing Baohua thought a lot, and the more she thought about it, the more her head ached.
Of course, he didn't get a good night's rest either. He was woken up by the phone on his bedside the next day while he was still half asleep. Xie Yingying was calling him to get up for breakfast because there was an important meeting.
Around nine o'clock, Xing Baohua's convoy arrived at Poly Company, where Xie Yingying's second uncle, Xie Guangqing, was already waiting at the entrance. He warmly shook hands with Xing Baohua.
Upon arriving at Xie Guangqing's office, Xing Baohua offered him cigarettes and tea, and after sitting down, he stated his purpose.
To put it bluntly, Xie Yingying had already given advance notice, so there was no need to beat around the bush.
"Mr. Xing, although Poly has made some money in the past few years, it's not enough for you to borrow," Xie Guangqing said politely.
Although Xing Baohua remained expressionless, she already knew the answer in her heart: the other party politely declined.
There might be reasons why Poly Group isn't lending money; in any case, Xing Baohua can't just borrow money whenever he wants.
Xie Guangqing looked at Xing Baohua's expression and couldn't tell anything, nor did he see any disappointment in Xing Baohua. He felt that this little guy was hiding something.
If someone politely declines, say a few kind words and leave.
Xie Guangqing said with a smile, "President Xing, we apologize that Poly cannot lend you a helping hand for the time being, but Poly can help you contact CITIC. Poly and CITIC are cross-shareholders."
This is truly a case of "after passing through mountains and rivers, one seems to have no way out, but then a new village appears amidst willows and flowers."
"Mr. Xing, Mr. Rong, the founder of CITIC, originally wanted to meet with you, but due to the establishment of Asia Satellite Company, he is temporarily unable to return. I hope we can meet again next time."
"Please thank Mr. Rong for me."
"I have an appointment with Mr. Li, the vice chairman of CITIC, this afternoon. You two will have a good talk then to strengthen cooperation. However, I have a word of advice for Mr. Xing: many of your businesses overlap with CITIC's. It would be best to avoid some of them."
Xing Baohua smiled and nodded, saying thank you for the reminder.
Xing Baohua was actually familiar with Asia Satellite, but their main function was satellite broadcasting and television, with communications as a secondary function.
The Starlink collaboration with Motorola is not the same thing.
As for Xie Guangyi's reminder that it overlaps with some of CITIC's projects, that's perfectly normal.
Doesn't Poly have any overlapping projects?
Lunch was arranged by Xie Guangyi. After lunch and a short rest, we waited to meet with the people from CITIC.
After an afternoon of discussion, China Credit International Trust Co., Ltd. agreed to lend Xing Baohua 3 billion US dollars.
The 3 billion yuan needs to be pledged, but Xing Baohua cannot currently provide assets and shares of equivalent value.
It's possible to use a second mortgage, but CITIC doesn't accept it. So, the value lies in the brand of the rice and the various patents in the laboratory.
