Jack Ma's wife spent nearly 2$6.4 billion, buying a shophouse in the core area of Singapore, this news reminds me of a past incident:
Before the epidemic, when I was eating with local colleagues in Singapore, I talked about Hong Kong, and I felt that Hong Kong was in decline, and the space was limited, so it was inconvenient to expand on it, but we all agreed.
As for which city will rise with the trend, he told me:
It will be Singapore that will take over Hong Kong. ”
I asked: Why can't it be Shanghai? ”
He said: If China and Singapore are exactly the same in terms of model, and the degree of prosperity, Shanghai should be much, much stronger than Singapore. Singapore is too small, and under the same conditions, it is not qualified to become a rival to Shanghai. ”
But for some obvious reasons, in fact, Shanghai is less open than Hong Kong, and there are more unforeseen risks, and these unopened and unforeseen negative factors are precisely what international capital does not like. ”
As for Singapore, it maintains good relations with both the mainland and the West, the rule of law is very perfect, and the tax burden is relatively low, so in the period when the relationship between the mainland and the West has deteriorated, it must be a safe haven for industrial and commercial capital. ”
I ask: Will Singapore benefit from China's decoupling from the West? ”
He said, "Actually, you can not let us benefit, can you?" We are the kind of country that does not make enemies with anyone, but only cares about the peaceful things of our wives. ”
Looking back now, he was right, the clown was me.
But I didn't lose anything, because of this conversation, I agreed with the idea that the child would not return to China for employment, and now he is quite comfortable.
