Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon

On the top floor of Pinnacle Building, the so-called Golden Gate Building, Li Zhiwen is swimming in the swimming pool.

This swimming pool was not built by Li Zhiwen, but was already owned when he redeemed it from HSBC.

I heard that it was built by Chen Songqing, but now it's cheaper than Li Zhiwen.

At this time, besides Li Zhiwen, there were three working secretaries, He Qin, Li Lingyu and Guan Yonghe, who were playing with Li Zhiwen.

As for the so-called work secretary, Liu Jialin, also stood on the shore, holding something to wipe his body.

Among the secretaries of Li Zhiwen, He Qin and Li Zhiwen are the only ones who have no skin-to-skin relationship, but now as long as Li Zhiwen hooks up, He Qin will be very willing to send it to the door.

And He Qin in the water has already seen the relationship between Guan Yonghe and Li Lingyu and Li Zhiwen. After all, there are salty pig hands floating on the two people, the relationship can be imagined.

On the other hand, Liu Jialin on the shore was full of resentment. She felt that she had been deceived by Li Zhiwen from beginning to end. From beginning to end, she could see Li Zhiwen's love for several other people, but she was cold-hearted towards herself.

Liu Jialin didn't know what he had done wrong, and he couldn't feel it after looking around, so Liu Jialin attributed this result to the fact that these guys teamed up to resist him.

"Boss, President Liang Botao is here!" At this time, Gong Li walked out of the office and stood on the shore and said.

Li Zhiwen didn't speak, but swam in front of Gong Li before he surfaced, looked at Gong Li in a professional dress, and said, "Let Bo Tao wait for me for half an hour, I have something to deal with here. !"

"Yes, boss!" Gong Li turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, let Liu Jialin go, you stay here!" Li Zhiwen said.

At this time, Gong Li didn't realize anything yet, thinking that Li Zhiwen was really in trouble, so he looked at Liu Jialin.

And how can Liu Jialin not see what Li Zhiwen wants to do, but there is no way, he is the boss, he can only say: "Yes, boss, I'll go!"

After Liu Jialin finished speaking, he handed the clean towel to Gong Li, and left the swimming pool himself.

And before Liu Jialin left the swimming pool, he heard an exclamation, and he didn't even have to think about what happened!

Facts were indeed as Liu Jialin expected, Li Zhiwen pulled Gong Li on the bank closer to the water, but Gong Li had no defense, so he exclaimed.

"Don't yell, we only have half an hour, you understand!" Li Zhiwen whispered in Gong Li's ear.

On the other hand, Li Zhiwen didn't care, and he played with Gong Li in front of Li Lingyu and the three of them, completely disregarding it.

Li Lingyu and Guan Yonghe are naturally used to it, but He Qin is the first time they meet.

For a long time, He Qin gritted his teeth, finally made up his mind, and swam towards the center of the battle circle.

......

An hour and a half later, Li Zhiwen walked into the office with slightly vain steps.

Li Zhiwen never thought that a local war would turn into a world war.

And although Li Zhiwen had one enemy against four, his divine power was not diminished in the past.

"Bo Tao!" Li Zhiwen shouted weakly.

Liang Botao looked at the vain Li Zhiwen, and he didn't get angry. Liang Botao was really worried that Li Zhiwen would die young, but how could Liang Botao persuade this kind of thing?

"Boss!" Liang Botao said.

"Add some water to Bo Tao!" Li Zhiwen said.

"Boss, no need, I've already had several drinks, let's get down to business first, Guo He Nian has shot!" Liang Botao said.

Before Li Zhiwen arrived, Guo He Nian had already drank several cups of tea, and he couldn't drink any more.

"Guo He Nian?" Li Zhiwen asked suspiciously.

At this time, Li Zhiwen felt dizzy in his head, so he couldn't react for a while.

And Liang Botao prepared very well, handed over a document directly, and said, "Boss, this is Guo He Nian's information."

Li Zhiwen took the document and flipped through it.

Guo He Nian's ancestral home is Guo Zhai Village, a suburb of Min City, Fujian Province. He was born in Johor Bahru, Malaysia in 1924. His father, Guo Qinjian, came to Johor, Malaysia from his hometown at the age of 16, to run a small business with his brother.

Guo Henian has three brothers. The eldest brother, Guo Heqi, is keen on politics and once served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Malaysian government. The other brother has no information.

Guo He Nian is devoted to business, and the family business is carried forward in his hands.

If Malaysians don't know Guo He Nian, they are like Hong Kong people who don't know Keswick.

The Guo family was considered a wealthy family at the time, and the three brothers all received good education.

Guo He Nian attended Chinese primary school in his early years, and middle school at the famous John Nobano English School. After graduating from middle school, he entered Raffles College in Singapore, but soon dropped out due to the Pacific War. During the Japanese occupation, Guo He Nian worked in the rice grain department of a Japanese company. After the war, he returned to Malaysia and studied business at his father's company.

In 1949, the 25-year-old Guo He Nian and his cousin Guo He Yao founded Guo Brothers Co., Ltd. in Johor Bahru, and later moved to Kuala Lumpur, mainly engaged in the trade of rice, sugar and flour.

Guo He Nian is fond of reading and has a taciturn personality. This does not affect his business and making business friends. Guo's credit in doing business is as solid and reliable as his words.

Malaysia was a British colony at that time, and foreign goods mainly came from Britain.

In the mid-1950s, Guo He Nian lived in London for two years, responsible for purchasing goods and sending them back to Malaysia.

Guo found that the British are fond of sugar, and the market for sugar is very large.

After World War II, the British overseas territories continued to shrink, but the British way of life still affected the world.

Gu She Guo He Nian is particularly optimistic about the sugar trade. Shortly after returning to Kuala Lumpur, that is, in 1957, Malaysia declared independence and the British forces faded out. Guo Henian took the opportunity to acquire the sales network of British businessmen.

By the 1960s, the Kuok brothers basically controlled the sales of sugar in Malaysia. In addition, the business of natural products such as rice, crude oil, rubber, wood, and palm has also grown by leaps and bounds.

In 1968, the Kwok brothers leased 140,000 acres of jungle from the Malaysian government, reclaimed it into a sugar cane plantation, and established a modern sugar refinery.

In 1973, there was a sugar shortage in the world, and the price of sugar soared.

When Guo He Nian was in London, he specially inspected the futures market. Therefore, in the sugar shortage, Guo’s futures trading in the United States and the United Kingdom achieved great success, and spot trading also grabbed the “price peak”.

The sugar trade has brought huge wealth to the Guo family. Of the 16 million tons of sugar traded in the international market that year, Guo controlled 1.5 million tons, accounting for nearly one-tenth of the world total and four-fifths of the horoscope horse sugar market.

Guo He Nian rose to fame and was known as the sugar king of Asia.

The Kwok family has been diversifying since the 1970s. In 1971, the first Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore was inaugurated. Shangri-La was highly praised by tourists, and Guo He Nian had the idea of ​​building a hotel kingdom.

In the past years, Hong Kong has always been the trading center of the Guo family. On January 18, 1974, the Guo family established Kerry Trading Co., Ltd. in Hong Kong.

By 1976, Kwok moved the headquarters in Kuala Lumpur to Hong Kong, and established the Kwok family business based in Hong Kong and radiating the world.

Seeing the prosperity of world shipping, Guo He Nian established Klee Shipping Company in Hong Kong in April 1977, with five new ships, each costing 8 million US dollars, with a total tonnage of 25,000 tons.

Mr. Guo abides by the creed that "fertilizer water does not flow to outsiders' fields", and uses the boat to carry natural products such as wood and sugar for himself, saving a lot of freight.

Kwok tasted the sweetness and formed a shipping company with the Malaysian government. Two years later, the world ship disaster struck, and Kwok lost nearly 200 million Singapore dollars.

Since then, Mr. Guo abandoned his dream of being a ship king and invested his main capital into the hotel industry.

Kwok's second hotel was built in Hong Kong, and his Taiwanese partner was Lin Shaoliang, a fellow countryman in Fujian Province, Indonesia.

In 1977, Kwok purchased a site in Tsim Sha Tsui East of Kowloon near the waters of Victoria Harbour and built a five-star hotel with 720 rooms. The name of the store is still Shangri-La.

In the Hong Kong industry, the name of this store is amazing. The name of the store was named by Guo Henian himself. He has a hobby of naming. The names of the buildings, gardens, restaurants, and cafes he built are very elegant and easy to understand.

Some people speculate that Guo's Chinese and English skills are profound, and Shangri-La, whether read in Chinese or in English, is catchy, and you can remember it after listening to it.

Although Guo He Nian is the sugar king in Asia, although he has been in Hong Kong for many years, Hong Kong people are very unfamiliar with him. The completion of Shangri-La in Hong Kong has made Guo He Nian famous.

The following year, Executive Travel Magazine ranked the best hotels in the world. The first was the Mandarin Oriental Hotel by the Jardine Group, the second was the Hong Kong Hotel by the Kadoorie Group, and the third was the Shangri-La Hotel.

Guo Henian is the chairman of Shangri-La Hotels Group. After more than ten years of development, the group has built and managed more than 20 hotels in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia, forming a huge "Shangri-La Five-Star Hotel". Department" hotel kingdom.

Guo He Nian is also a real estate giant in Hong Kong. The Guo Brothers Company, First Pacific of the Lin Shaoliang family, and Xinhe of the Huang Tingfang family have jointly developed large-scale properties such as Wing On Plaza, Nanyang Center, and Happiness Center.

In 1983, Kwok won the bid for a plot of 4.41 million square feet of land in Tuen Mun for the construction of yacht clubs and luxury residences. From this, it can be seen that Kwok He Nian is well versed in the principle of "people abandon me and take it". .

Of course, Guo Henian's aggressive investment in other places can also be called capital stalking, but it is only for Southeast Asia.

The overseas investment of a large number of Southeast Asian Chinese businessmen, such as Guo Henian and Lin Shaoliang, has attracted the attention of the host country and the world.

Some people simply attribute Hong Kong's capitalist to "northphobia". So what are the Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asian countries doing? Why do they use Hong Kong as an important base for their overseas investment?

Investigating the reason, Liang Botao believes that there are three main aspects.

First of all, when a company reaches a considerable scale, it must take the road of diversification and transnationalization. This is an economic law, which can be confirmed by the formation and development of multinational groups in Europe, America and Japan.

Secondly, Chinese businessmen do not have much sense of security in the country where they are located. Their "self-defense weapon" can only be the investment rule of "don't put all your eggs in one basket".

Many economists in the West compare Chinese businessmen residing overseas with Jewish businessmen and call them "Oriental Jews" in good faith.

Individual indigenous groups in Southeast Asia curse the Chinese businessmen as Eastern Jews.

The Jewish nation is a hard-working, intelligent and troubled minority in the country where it is located.

Jews are good at doing business and are richer than the local residents. Since the Middle Ages, Jews have been the target of hatred and attacks by local residents.

Before the Second World War, anti-Semitic and anti-Semitic sentiment existed not only in Germany, but also in the whole of Europe. It was just that the German Communist Party used brutal and inhumane means of violence.

Only in this case did the Jews receive sympathy from all countries.

From the middle of this century, the situation of Chinese in Southeast Asian countries is roughly similar to that of Jews.

Except for Singapore, the Chinese are a minority in the locality, but they are the richest ethnic group.

In Indonesia, the Chinese account for only 3% to 4% of the total population, but they control the country's economic lifeline. The Chinese own 70% of the private capital. Among the 200 large companies in Indonesia, the Chinese account for 160. ; The Chinese in Thailand, who account for 10% of the total population, control the four largest private banks. There are 47 Chinese billionaires on the list, and the last billionaire has assets of 200 million US dollars; in Malaysia, over the years, Now, the first three richest people are all Chinese, and the Guo Henian family has survived for more than 20 years.

The famous American financial magazine "Forbes" pointed out:

"Whether in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines or Vietnam, the investors who cross the border are all Chinese, not Japanese. However, these achievements have not made the Chinese popular, and the ethnic minorities full of business ideas are all Instigators everywhere are at their fingertips at any time."

"In 1965, after the abortion of the Indonesian party coup, tens of thousands of Chinese were killed; in 1975, after the Vietnam War, North Vietnam occupied South Vietnam, and hundreds of thousands of Chinese were exiled or fled South Vietnam. In 1969, Chinese exclusion occurred in Kuala Lumpur. riots, so in the early 1970s, the Malaysian government legalized a racially discriminatory 'quota system' to protect the majority of Malaysians.

"Such actions are still spreading today. For example, Indonesia banned the establishment of Chinese schools~www.readwn.com~ banning Chinese in public places, and requiring Chinese to use Indonesian surnames, etc.

Therefore, the capitalist tide of Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia is not only caused by economic laws, but also contains political factors-even though some Chinese business giants are closely related to the heads of government, but the politics are ever-changing, and they cannot help thinking of future generations.

Since you want to invest overseas, you must choose the best investment location. Liang Botao also summed up the third factor why overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia regard Hong Kong as the main investment destination.

According to the statistics of the "capital market return rate" of the world's major economic zones from 1972 to 1982 by the World Economic and Trade Organization, the highest capital return rate was Hong Kong, at 19.3%; followed by Singapore, at 18.3%; and Japan in the following order. 17.7%, Switzerland 9.4%, Canada 9.0%, Federal Republic of Germany 8.0%, UK 7.5%, France 6.6%, US 6.3%, Australia 4.0%.

From this, it can be seen that Hong Kong and Singapore have the highest rate of return on capital.

The main reasons for the highest capital profit in Hong Kong are the lower tax rate, superior location for entrepot trade, freedom of foreign exchange in and out, freedom of operation and management, good infrastructure, etc.
