Chapter 324: Each has something to gain
For Duke, whether Ambassador Rama vomited blood or Vice President Nasia's fall, it was just a cloud of clouds. When Ambassador Rama was still worried about the secret agreement between China and Malaysia, Duke, as chairman of Sal, attended the investment signing ceremony located in the Presidential Palace of the Maldives.
Sal set up Dushi International (Maldives) Investment Group Co., Ltd. in the Maldives, and packaged all Sal's investment in Maldives into a Dushi International for management. The boss behind the scenes Dushi International personally served as the chairman of Dushi International to show his importance. Dong Feng got his wish and became the president of Dushi International Group, fully responsible for the group's daily business in the Maldives.
Xie Yunfeng, who performed well in the early stage of handling the shutdown crisis in the Maldives, was lucky to be the executive vice president of Dushi International to assist Dong Feng in managing the company's daily affairs; Sovaz also rose to the forefront and became the manager of Dushi International's security department, becoming a senior manager of the company.
Seeing Cai Siqiang, who represents SAL, signing his name with the government's Interior Minister Mui, Maldives President Saiya held a wine glass and with uncontrollable joy, he said to Duke on the side: "Dr. Duke, please allow me to express my gratitude to the investment of SAL on behalf of the 300,000 Maldives people. Today is a historic day. I hope that the cooperation between Maldives and SAL can become a model for the development of Malaysia-China relations.
At the same time, I personally welcome Dr. Duke to visit Male frequently.”
"Thank you to the President for your attention and support to me and SAL. SAL and Dushi International will complete all construction projects in Malaysia with quality and quantity as promised, and contribute their own strength to the promotion of China-Malaysia relations." Duke raised his glass and thanked politely.
Some people have already mentioned these clichés like slogans. Although Duke dared not say he could handle it easily, his performance was considered to be average and there were no mistakes.
"With the attention of the President and the support of the Maldives people, I think these projects of SAL will surely bear fruit in the Maldives and achieve good results with win-win results." Liu Yali, deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who has become a side-sitting, took over Duke's words with a smile.
This time, the domestic breakthrough in diplomacy was able to achieve a breakthrough in Maldives. Vice Minister Liu Yali, as the main force on the diplomatic front, was able to charge forward, which was a big achievement for the breakthrough of the military's pearl chain strategy. Although this achievement was more or less achieved through generous means, especially the large-scale investment of Saal.
Therefore, although Deputy Minister Liu's seat was arranged under Duke for this signing ceremony, Deputy Minister Liu was calm and did not look at all unhappy.
In the meantime, in addition to Duke being the biggest funder of this agreement, there are deeper reasons that made Vice Minister Liu very satisfied. The person behind the promotion of this round of diplomatic offensive was actually Vice Chairman Liu, the big boss in the army. Although everyone’s surname is Liu, they also have a sub-word character. Maybe it was still a family five hundred years ago, even though Vice Minister Liu enjoyed the treatment of ministerial level, the gap with Vice Chairman Liu was too big to calculate.
In addition to the No. 1 titled general manager in the entire army, Vice Chairman Liu is actually one of the top big bosses in the army. If it weren't for the current nine elders who did not have military personnel, Vice Chairman Liu would have been a great elder-level title.
This time, Sal jumped out to take the lead in investing in Ma and assumed the main investment amount. If he had nothing to do with Vice Chairman Liu, Vice Minister Liu Yali couldn't believe it with his toes.
"Thanks to Mr. Liu for his outstanding contribution to the in-depth development of Malaysia-China relations. I believe that with the in-depth exchanges and cooperation between the people of Malaysia and China, we will surely inject new vitality into the development of Malaysia-China relations." President Saiya raised his wine glass and signaled to Vice Minister Liu Yali.
The negotiations have achieved fruitful results and are the largest diplomatic achievement since President Saiya took office. If this result can be fruitful in Malaysia, it will definitely have a very important positive impact on the Maldives economy, which will greatly enhance his election situation in the next election.
So President Saiya is in a good mood.
Asa San's influence on horses is too great, and it does not conform to the middle path that Ma always has to take. As a qualified politician, President Saiya certainly knows that this kind of diplomatic strategy that tends to be one-sided is extremely risky. Therefore, in recent years, President Saiya has been working to re-establish a balanced diplomatic line for Horses, including establishing close diplomatic ties with the United States and introducing China, an Asian giant, to balance Asa San's influence.
Today, President Saiya's diplomatic strategy has finally achieved fruitful results. This time, President Saiya naturally believes that this is a victory in his middle route.
Although the Maldives paid the right to use a port for this, Ah San has not only established a port in Ma. The powerful military presence and military intervention in the situation in Ma in the past few years have made politicians like Ma always feel very uncomfortable. With the existence of Chinese power, President Saiya believes that it is conducive to controlling some of Ah San's unrealistic ambitions of Ma.
Duke also frequently raised his glass to show President Ma and all the senior officials present that it was an unexpected gain for Duke to take this opportunity to take root in the Maldives and establish close relations with the top leaders of the Maldives authorities.
Although from the current situation, the returns of these investments will not be too high for a while, and there will not even be much income in the short term, the possibility of losing money will not be too high in the long term from 3 to 5 years. Whether it is the tourism industry or Duke's fine processing, it can generate profits after completion.
Of course, there is another more important convenience. When entering the South Asian market, some tariffs and regulatory barriers in the South Asian market can be avoided. For example, Asan often makes many difficulties with goods from China, but there are no restrictions on Maldives at all.
So from an economic perspective, Duke's investment this time is quite successful, not to mention that with the support of the country, Duke doesn't have to worry too much about these investments being meat buns and dogs.
On the other hand, SAL's high-profile entry into the Maldives this time also means that Duke's company has begun to take root in the Maldives' senior management. After huge investment, Duchess International has become an important large company in the Maldives. In time, it will not be difficult to create a new situation in the Maldives and establish good connections in the Maldives' senior management. For Duke, it will be more convenient for what he does in Maldives in the future.
No one knew that a small storm would trigger so many changes, allowing Duke to achieve better results in this storm. For Duke, it was indeed as magical as the illumination bonus of the halo of luck.
But can Asan really watch Duke's company develop smoothly in Mashun?
