****************************************************************************************

Some countries were originally independent, and some countries fought for independence, but Singapore's independence was imposed on it. Singapore was just a small island, with an area of ​​only 214 square miles when the tide was low. It was the heart of the British Empire in Southeast Asia, so it flourished. With the separation of Singapore and Malaysia, it became a bodyless heart.

August 9, 1965 is not a day worth celebrating for Singapore. After independence, the future is slim and it loses the entry and exit of Malaysia and the center that provides various services to them. Everything has to be done again by itself, directly dealing with the main buyers and sellers of Europe, the United States and Japan. Moreover, Singapore has no hinterland, and even drinking water comes from Johor. How can we survive?

Although Singapore's unemployment rate was as high as 10% in the early stages of independence, and society seemed turbulent. Meng Youtian believed that when the independent Chinese Singaporeans faced adverse situations, their common sense of survival crisis would unite all Singaporeans. They were thrifty, efficient, honest and dedicated, and ultimately built a modern country that attracted worldwide attention.

Undoubtedly, it is very popular for Meng Youtian to invest in and build factories in Singapore. In order to overcome the difficulties, the Singapore government first adopted the policy of developing an export-oriented labor-intensive manufacturing industry, and for this purpose it has adopted measures such as improving infrastructure, implementing tax incentives, encouraging investment and entrepreneurship, and providing banking and loan services.

The low labor force, coupled with the policy benefits, Meng Youtian's investment quickly received returns and continued to expand production. Mr. Meng Food Company also established a Singapore branch, and the divergence and transfer of industries made Meng Youtian truly walk on two legs.

Four Asian dragons, I can benefit from taking advantage of the two-dragon economic takeoff. Meng Youtian was proud of this. No one could take advantage of the situation. At this time, Singapore did not have the reputation of a garden city. Not many wealthy people were building houses. Meng Youtian spent only more than two million Hong Kong dollars to buy an old villa by the beach, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to renovate, and had a good residence.

The sea breeze, waves, beaches, invincible sea views... are far away from the storm. In addition to listening to reports from Hong Kong on the phone every day and giving instructions, Meng Youtian gave his body and mind a vacation.

"Axiu, Zijuan. Come quickly!" Compared to Axiu's sarcasm, Liu Feng and Xiao Man were obviously more open-minded, leading the children to play on the beach.

"This, is this the swimsuit you bought?" Meng Youtian was still preparing to appreciate the spring scenery, but was startled by the stand-up collar, flat feet, and swimsuit that tightly wrapped around his body.

"Apart from this one, A Xiu thought it was too short." Zijuan explained with a smile, holding A Xiu.

Too short? If I took out a bikini, Ah Xiu would probably faint on the spot, right? Meng Youtian smiled bitterly and shook his head, holding up his two wives with one hand, "Okay, it's pretty. Let's go swimming and play, and see how happy the children are."

Although women's swimsuits are becoming easier and easier, most women still wear corsets under the swimsuits - a one-piece dress with sleeves and leggings, similar to children's pajamas. The popular style now is a strap instead of sleeves, the legs of the trousers are getting shorter and the neckline is getting lower and lower. Although bikini has been released, it is too shocking and positive and negative debates are in fierce confrontation, and Meng Youtian doesn't want his family to be the headlines in the newspaper.

The conservative Ah Xiu dared to show up like this because this place is not Hong Kong, so there is no need to worry about being seen by people you know.

"Catch it, catch it." Si Ya shouted and grabbed a crab into the bucket. The younger brother and sister next to her cheered. She was now obviously the king of children.

"If you play, you have to keep an eye on your homework. Don't be able to keep up with me." Meng Youtian was so childish that he was digging a sand tower with A Xiu and others. Seeing his children having fun, he smiled and looked up and said to his eldest daughter, "You have to work harder, who made you have the highest education!"

"It's not hard, I'm willing to urge my younger brothers and sisters to study." The eldest daughter had no intention of being embarrassed at all, and said with a smile: "The fourth sister is actually the smartest, but she is too busy. If she can concentrate, there is no problem with a master's degree or a doctorate."

"Smartness also has its disadvantages." Meng Youtian shook his head helplessly and asked in confusion: "If you want to study again, it's okay, it doesn't matter if you are older."

"I don't want to read books anymore." The eldest daughter refused directly, paused for a moment, and said, "Dad, you are optimistic about the development of Singapore. Can Jiale chain store try to expand its business here too?"

"I'm so cautious when talking to my dad?" Meng Youtian smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Aren't you inspecting Singapore's business situation? If you think it's OK, do it."

The eldest daughter smiled embarrassedly and said, "I think it's OK, but there's no need to invest much money. She can also borrow from the bank. The policy is quite preferential."

"Then make a plan as soon as possible and make things settled." Meng Youtian nodded slightly and said, "There are basically no language barriers here, and the development can be much smoother. I think Guangzheng and Guanghua are also very interested in Singapore. I agree with the expansion of their business here. You can do it!"

The eldest daughter felt relieved, so she said hello and got up and left. She probably was busy with her business plan.

"You should worry about other things when your child is grown up." Seeing that his daughter had left, Ah Xiu reminded him tactfully.

"What else is there to worry about?" Meng Youtian lay on the beach, pillowed with A Xiu's thighs, and said with a wry smile: "Look, I have white hair. It's not the rule we were young. We have to find a matchmaker, and our parents have the final say. They have their own ideas."

"If you have any idea, you will be a girl!" Ah Xiu pulled Meng Youtian's temples with his hands, but he didn't find any white hair. "Wouldn't we be at ease when we find a good family!"

"Okay, I'll pay attention to you." Meng Youtian was perfunctory, and his thoughts flew to Qin Lianfang again.

Alas, that woman is really worrying. She is so stubborn that she insists on staying in Hong Kong. I don’t know what she is thinking and what she is doing now?

However, compared to her, I really look a little old, mainly because of my mentality. Without any passion, I always hold the mentality that it is better to have less than more things. I can hide if I can, and avoid if I can. It seems that I have lost my spirit and motivation.

Let’s call her to greet her in the evening. Although they are thousands of miles apart, words can also help each other get care and comfort. Well, I would like to remind her to be careful and be safe. (To be continued...)
