Compared with the investment in Rayong City, the investment agreement reached by Li Jianhui and the Johor Bahru City Government this time is not too large.
The main ones are Wheelock Tower with an investment of HK$3 billion, Lane Crawford Johor Bahru Shopping Center with an investment of HK$600 million, the third phase project of Hongyu Clothing Johor Bahru Production Company, the bus production base of Jade Lion Group, and the Cantonese-language Cantonese-language building established by Xiangjiang Education Group in Johor Bahru.
Mainly Xinjian Primary School and Xinjian Middle School.
As for the business center project, the Johor Bahru City Government has also mentioned it, but Li Jianhui is not very interested. This aspect is mainly developed by Xinglong Real Estate and Malay Well-known Real Estate. One Rayong is enough. Under the condition of controlling the debt ratio, Dongcheng
Huahui also does not have enough financial resources to develop multiple projects at the same time.
Li Jianhui did not take care of other investments. Li Jianhui paid great attention to the school. He not only required Xinjian Education Group to strictly control it, but also asked Nanlong Holdings to provide full assistance.
Before leaving Johor Bahru, Li Jianhui specially held a meeting for this purpose.
“This time, the Johor Bahru City Government agreed to allow us to establish Xin Jian Primary School and Xin Jian Middle School in Johor Bahru, which focus on Cantonese education. It can be said that it is extremely difficult. This is also the first school that our Xin Jian Education Group has established outside the Cantonese-speaking area.
Such a school.
I hope that Xin Jian Primary School and Xin Jian Secondary School in Johor Bahru can become a benchmark for us to establish Cantonese schools overseas and provide us with experience in establishing such schools in other overseas regions in the future.
Xinglong Real Estate Group is fully responsible for the construction of the school. I hope it will be officially put into use next fall and the first class of students can enroll normally.
In terms of teachers and teaching materials, our education group must also prepare in advance. In addition to Cantonese and English, teachers must also be able to speak Malay, and teaching materials must also refer to the regulations of the Malay government.
…”
If the Donghua Association in Johor Bahru was mainly economic in the past, then the establishment of Xinjian Primary School and Xinjian Middle School involved cultural education. In addition, in recent years, Xiangjiang Film and Television and records have become popular in Asia. In Johor Bahru, Xiangjiang culture has a far-reaching influence.
Super European and American culture.
One of the remarkable features is that the influence of the Spring Festival in Johor Bahru has exceeded that of Christmas. Because of the influence of the Tung Wah Association, the festive atmosphere of the Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival in Johor Bahru has become increasingly intense.
It is a pity that the influence of the Donghua Association is not strong enough after all. At present, it can only affect a few cities. Maybe in a few years, Rayong, Cebu, and Bandung will become the next new places. They are just occasional places and cannot affect a country.
In the days since he came to work in Johor Bahru, Wei Li has also entered his role. Johor Bahru City, as the Southeast Asian headquarters of the Xinjian Department and the headquarters of Nanlong Holding Group, is also very supportive of the construction of Xinjian Primary School and Xinjian Middle School.
This is not only conducive to the introduction of Xiangjiang culture in Johor Bahru, but also facilitates the education of children of senior officials from Nan Long Holdings and Xin Jian Department in Johor Bahru.
After Li Jianhui finished speaking, he was the first to express his position: "We at Nanlong Holdings Group will fully cooperate with Xinjian Education Group's work in Johor Bahru and try our best to ensure that the construction of primary schools and middle schools is completed by the end of June next year.
In terms of enrollment, our Nanlong Holdings Group will also actively cooperate with its publicity to expand the influence of Xinjian School in Johor Bahru and promote the rapid development of the school."
As for teachers, Wei Li didn't mention much. Xiangjiang's influence has become more and more important in recent years, and it is relatively easy to find talents who are proficient in Cantonese, English, and Malay.
Especially with the development of dozens of universities in Hong Kong, more and more Malay students will choose to study in Hong Kong in the future, and there will be enough talents to support the development of Tung Wah Association in Malay.
In fact, it is not just Malaysia, but other ASEAN countries, Japan, South Korea, the North, Central and Eastern Europe, South Asia, Latin America, etc. In the future, the management of Donghua Club in these regions will mainly be local talents who have studied in Hong Kong.
As the executive vice president of Xinjian Education Group, Wang Mingliang is also focused on his first overseas project. After discussing with the Johor Bahru City Government last night, he came up with a preliminary plan overnight.
“Although we are divided into primary school and secondary school, because of the special nature of Johor Bahru, it is an integrated primary school and secondary school, and the primary school goes directly to the secondary school.
The management is also integrated. It is divided into primary school and middle school. The fifth form also needs to take the exam, and the outstanding ones will enter the sixth form.
Fortunately, the educational system here in Malay is similar to ours, with five years of secondary school and two years of preparatory courses, so the impact is not big.
However, considering that these students have been admitted to Xinjian School since childhood, I suggest that our Tung Wah Association, including the ten universities in Hong Kong and Haojiang University in Lisboa, can increase the admission rate to this school to reflect the quality of our school.
Superiority.”
Although Li Jianhui is still serving as the president of Xinjian Education Group for the time being, he does not want to interfere with this matter and leaves Wang Mingliang fully responsible. He plans to officially let Wang Mingliang be the president after returning to Xiangjiang this time.
I just put forward two requirements. One is to be careful not to accept any students indiscriminately, and the other is to communicate well with the Johor Bahru City so that students from Xinjian School can also take the Malay Secondary 5 entrance examination.
In terms of student scale, each grade is tentatively set at 300 students, and will be decided later based on development whether to increase the number.
As for the construction of the Tanjong Pelepas Expressway in Johor Bahru, Li Jianhui directly asked Nanlong Holdings Group to participate. For this purpose, he specifically asked Nanlong Holdings Group to establish an infrastructure investment company, including the previous Malaysia West Line.
The expressway, as well as the expressway from Johor Bahru City to Tanjung Pelepas Port this time, are all allocated to this company.
At the meeting, Li Jianhui asked Nanlong Holdings to increase the development of its Xinshan Film and Television Media Company and actively cooperate with Jiayi Group, Xinyi City, Desheng Pictures, East Asia Pictures and other companies.
At the same time, we will promote the localization of comics under the Jiayi Culture Media Group and expand the cultural influence of the Tung Wah Society in Johor Bahru and even Malay.
In addition, Jiayi Group is also actively organizing a star tour concert this year, and Johor Bahru will be one of the main cities for this event.
The senior officials at the association also guessed Li Jianhui's purpose, which was obviously to build Johor Bahru into a strong back market for the Tung Wah Association and a model for the overseas development of the Tung Wah Association.
However, those present knew very well that this was not an easy task. After all, Johor Bahru is just a county under a Malay state and is not an independent existence.
Even if Johor Bahru has become an ASEAN free trade area due to the promotion of the Tung Wah Association and the Nanyang Association, it is still not the Tung Wah Association that has the final say.
Fortunately, Li Jianhui only pursued commercial interests and independence, which allowed Donghua Association to develop rapidly in the ASEAN market.
Not to mention that the outside world cannot clearly understand Li Jianhui's intentions, but the people inside the Tung Wah Association are often confused.
Even Li Jianhui himself is sometimes at a loss, and sometimes he is forced to make a choice based on the situation and development faced by Donghua Association.
For example, this time, had it not been for the alliance of several major forces in Hong Kong, he would not have slowed down investment in Latin America, South Asia, North America, Australia and other places, but chose to invest in ASEAN on a large scale.
