Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon - Chapter 537 talk 1 talk
But now, many Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia put themselves in a very delicate and sensitive position: it seems to go wrong, and it is beneficial to advance and retreat.
Although the indigenous people in some parts of Southeast Asia are often dissatisfied with the Chinese holding too much wealth, the government is well aware that Chinese capital plays a pivotal role in the national economy and tries its best to achieve both.
Closer to home, the Guo Henian family has been carefully establishing friendly relations with the state and local governments for decades, and has sponsored charitable causes in large sums to win the favor of local residents.
Exclusion incidents in Malaysia occur from time to time, and the Guo family is safe and sound.
The Malaysian Chinese Trade Union is the largest political and economic association of Malaysian Chinese.
The MCA appoints 4 ministers to serve as ministers in each session of the Malaysian cabinet.
The MCA is also a business group, and the general trading company it controls is engaged in huge business activities.
The Malaysian Chinese who lack a sense of security unite around the MCA.
On the other hand, many Malay associations regard the MCA as their enemy.
The economic strength of the MCA is supported by Malaysian Chinese businessmen. The richest man in Malaysia, Guo He Nian, has a close personal relationship with the chairman of the MCA, Chen Qun Chuan.
Chen Qunchuan is a well-known Chinese politician in Malaysia. He ran for Congress at the age of 30 and was elected as the chairman of the MCA by the Chinese in his 40s.
Chen Qunchuan has made unremitting efforts to eliminate racial discrimination and confrontation among MCA residents. Chen Qunchuan is a locally recognized Chinese leader.
The Singaporean government has always been known for its strict legal system and strict anti-corruption.
It is said that the Singapore government received a report from Kuala Lumpur, and the securities regulatory agency conducted an investigation. On November 19, 1980, it announced the suspension of "Pandian".
Fandian Group’s shareholders are mostly Chinese businessmen from Singapore and Malaysia, and Chen Qunchuan is one of the hosts of Fandian.
Singapore and Kuala Lumpur stock markets were suspended for 3 days for this reason.
Chen Qunchuan, suspected of "treachery and fraud", was arrested by the new police, and the court allowed him to go out on bail of S$40 million pending trial.
Malaysian Chinese businessmen raised this huge sum of money at the first time. It is said that half of it came from Guo Henian. Guo has never communicated with reporters, so it is difficult to confirm.
In early 1981, Chen Qunchuan was charged with fifteen counts of breach of trust and fraud and was sentenced to two years in prison by a Singapore court.
Did Chen Qunchuan deserve what he deserved for his "economic crime"? Or a victim of Malaysian anti-Chinese sentiment? No one who holds these two views knows what is going on behind the scenes, so there is no accepted conclusion.
The Chen Qunchuan incident caused a chain reaction in Malaysia.
The "dissident" Chinese stalwarts in the MCA have either been arrested or resigned from the board of directors of related companies of the MCA.
The leadership of the MCA has been replaced by a group of elderly Chinese who do not care about politics, and the group's Chinese cohesion has been greatly weakened.
In mid-1982, Malaysia's national election was won by the National Front organization. After the general election, the MCA's practice of sending four members into the cabinet was broken and reduced to three, and the MCA's political status was shaken.
The Chen Qun Chuan incident also caused the MCA to fall into a financial crisis. In June 1982, the MCA's flagship general trading company announced a loss of RM192 million for the financial year, and later, a related company of the MCA went bankrupt.
On August 8, 1982, the Malaysian Minister of Finance announced that the deposits of twenty-three licensed deposit-taking quasi-banking institutions would be frozen.
Seventy-two directors of these institutions are ordered by the Malaysian government to report their private wealth to the central bank, and some of them are to hand over travel documents to the Immigration Department and are temporarily barred from leaving the country.
At the end of the year, the Malaysian government declared Serbaguna and other quasi-banking institutions to wind up.
Serbaguna is the holding company of the general trading company Multipurpose (the two companies are mutually controlled), holding 41% of the equity of the general trading company.
The government liquidator wants to sell Serbaguna's stake in the general trading company.
The right to sell is not in Serbaguna's hands, but at the discretion of the liquidator.
In this way, the MCA's flagship general trading company is very likely to fall into the hands of the Malays.
The MCA, which has lost direct economic support, is like a wild goose with its wings broken.
On December 13, 1982, all six directors of the general trading company were forced to resign.
Under such circumstances, four well-known Chinese businessmen, including Guo Henian, who had good relations with the government, announced that they would take over the general trading company.
Kuok is the chairman of the general trading company, thus keeping the 41% stake in the Serbaguna Group from falling into the hands of the Malays.
Guo He Nian has always been a reclusive person, regardless of politics. His appearance surprised many people.
At the same time, it makes people see the "Yanhuang emotion" in his bones. Some people think that Guo will not stay in a (comprehensive) trading company in a politically sensitive area for too long.
Sure enough, when the whole incident subsided, Mr. Guo resigned from the chairmanship on the grounds of old age.
Some media believe that the Chen Qunchuan incident is the product of the anti-Chinese sentiment in Malaysia.
The Chinese can only be wealthy businessmen who keep their own feet, and never think of rising politically. The Chen Qunchuan incident has weakened the political power of the Chinese in Malaysia.
This is the most legal and most effective means of restraining the Chinese in a civilized society. It is much more powerful than extremists who set fire to Chinese stores and smashed the glass of Chinese cars.
The handling of the Chen Qunchuan incident has provided a model for other countries and regions with anti-Chinese sentiments.
There is no doubt that the Chinese living in countries with anti-Chinese sentiments will not have much sense of security despite their wealth.
Therefore, in order to reduce economic and political risks, they will inevitably diversify their assets.
However, they will not fade out. They are familiar with and adapt to the business environment here, and live in harmony with most of the local residents. In order to maintain the prosperity and development of the country, the government will also legally protect the economic rights and interests of the Chinese.
Affected by the Chen Qunchuan incident, not only Malaysian Chinese businessmen who are directly related to the MCA, but also have a profound impact on Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia. Since then, Guo Henian's family has accelerated the investment, which has also led to the transfer of Guo Henian's focus to Singapore and Hong Kong.
Needless to say, Singapore’s leader is of Chinese descent, and although Hong Kong is in the hands of the British at this time, it is too close to the mainland, so there is a certain guarantee.
Actually, when Guo He Nian moved to Xiangjiang, Li Zhiwen had some interesting incidents with him. Of course, it was not a direct contact, but only indirectly.
Guo has settled in Hong Kong since 1978. In the past four years, no Hong Kong reporter has ever interviewed Guo He Nian.
Does Mr. Guo live in Malaysia or Hong Kong? During his stay in Hong Kong, did he collapse his own hotel, or was it a private villa in a garden in a luxury community such as the Peak? There are many opinions, and there is no consensus.
There are many luxury mansions in Hong Kong. Except for the house number, there is no sign in front of the gate. The owner enters and exits in a luxury car with a curtain.
The owner is either rich or expensive, either a well-known person who is like thunder, or an unknown but extremely wealthy person. Guo He Nian is famous, but he never shows his true face.
Once Chen Qunchuan was in court, a reporter from Kylin News sat next to Guo Henian, and the two chatted for a while. The reporter asked Guo, "May I ask what line of business you work in?"
Gu 鑺 Guo Henian replied: "Selling rice." Therefore, the reporter and Guo Henian talked about the rice market. When the court was adjourned, Mr. Guo greeted politely and left.
Soon, the court heard that Guo Henian had released Chen Qunchuan on bail of 20 million yuan in Xinshi. The reporter rushed back to the museum to publish the report and found the photo of Guo He Nian. He was shocked: it turned out that the "rice seller" was the richest man in Malaysia, Guo He Nian!
The reporter sighed "Take Treasure"—this matter was rumored to be lace news, which shows that. Guo He Nian's exposure rate is low.
But at this time Guo He Nian ran out to fight with Li Zhiwen. Isn't this the old birthday star eating arsenic?
Although Guo He Nian has some status in Malaysia, he has close ties with the local government.
But in Xiangjiang, Li Zhiwen is much deeper than his backstage.
So Guo He Nian can be all about flirting with tiger beards.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Guo He Nian.
Of course, I don't blame Guo He Nian. After all, it was Yang Bingzheng who found him directly.
Moreover, Guo He Nian was already interested in Miramar Hotel, which just matched the Shangri-La Hotel. How could Guo He Nian not be moved.
Guo He Nian can be regarded as a business leader in Southeast Asia. If he lets go because he is worried about offending Li Zhiwen, it will make people laugh.
"What price did Guo He Nian offer?" Li Zhiwen asked Liang Botao.
"I heard that Yang Bingzheng's side said it was nine Hong Kong dollars per share. As for the real situation, I don't know!" Liang Botao said.
"Yang Bingzheng has a great plan to let me and Guo He Nian compete, and even if we succeed, we still need to compete with Li Jiacheng and Li Zhaoji!" Li Zhiwen said.
"Then what to do, boss?" Liang Botao asked.
"Actually, Guo He Nian didn't necessarily like the Miramar Hotel. He thought that he might have liked the old wing of Miramar Hotel and the land of Miramar Hotel Group."
"We are interested in the old wing of Miramar Hotel, but we already have a lot of land for the Hutchison Whampoa Group, so we still have a basis for negotiation with Guo Henian!" Li Zhiwen said.
"Then boss, am I going to meet Guo He Nian?" Liang Botao said.
"Maybe you don't need to make an appointment. The invitation to come to Guo He Nian is already on the way!" Li Zhiwen said.
As if to verify Li Zhiwen's words, the door in the office opened, and Liu Jialin walked in and said, "Boss, an invitation from Mr. Guo of Kerry Group!"
Li Zhiwen said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao would arrive, took the invitation, and looked over it. As expected, Guo He Nian invited him to dine at Shangri-La Hotel at noon tomorrow.
Li Zhiwen handed the invitation to Liang Botao, and then said to Liu Jialin, "Tell the person who sent the invitation that I will be there on time tomorrow!"
"Yes, boss!" Liu Jialin said and left the office.
"Boss, since this is the case, let's look at the situation over Guo He Nian tomorrow and make a judgment!" Liang Botao said.
"Of course, we have our goals, and Guo He Nian has Guo He Nian's goals. If the goals do not conflict, we can cooperate, but if the goals conflict, if it can be adjusted, it is naturally good. If it cannot be adjusted, either give up or not. Take your life!" Li Zhiwen said.
Li Zhiwen was not joking, because Li Zhiwen maintained a vigilance towards Guo Henian.
Although this guy is very low-key in Hong Kong, he is well-known in places like Malaysia, and this guy is well-funded and a formidable enemy.
"Tomorrow, Bo Tao, come with me to see the conditions of Guo He Nian!" Li Zhiwen said.
"Yes, boss!" Liang Botao said.
......
Shangri-La Hotel, Central, the flagship store of Shangri-La Hotel, Hong Kong, Guo He Nian set the meeting place at the hotel's coffee shop.
And Li Zhiwen's row of Rolls-Royce cars parked at the door of Shangri-La Hotel, then opened the door, and Li Zhiwen got off the car and walked towards the hotel.
When he walked into the hotel, Li Zhiwen was surprised because there was not a single guest in the hotel. It seemed that Guo He Nian was taking this meeting very seriously, otherwise he would not have emptied the guests.
And Guo Henian's son Guo Kongchen was waiting in the hotel lobby.
"Mr. Li, my father is waiting upstairs!" Guo Kongchen stepped forward and said.
Guo Kongchen didn't dare to underestimate this man ten years younger than him.
This man is not very old, but he has done things that he cannot achieve in his life. Of course, he is very curious about this man.
And Guo He Nian also had the idea of training his son, so letting his son greet Li Zhiwen in the hall was considered the highest treatment for Li Zhiwen.
As for Guo He Nian to meet Li Zhiwen, it is a fool's errand. After all, if Guo He Nian appears in the hall, the next negotiation will be a little short for no reason.
"Lead the way ahead!" Li Zhiwen said.
Li Zhiwen didn't want to waste any saliva with Guo Kongchen. Without Guo Henian, Guo Kongchen would be nothing.
A few people took the elevator to the Shangri-La Hotel Cafe on the fifth floor. At this time, Li Zhiwen saw an old man who was over fifty years old.
"Guo Sheng!" Li Zhiwen greeted with a smile.
"Li Sheng~www.novelbuddy.com~ I have been looking forward to it for a long time, I have been looking forward to it for a long time, thank you Li Sheng for coming to the meeting!" Guo He Nian said.
"What Guo Sheng said, I'm already very happy to be invited by Guo Sheng!" Li Zhiwen said.
"Li Sheng, please!" Guo He Nian said.
"Guo Sheng, please!" Li Zhiwen said.
The two sat down on the chairs, Guo Kongchen stood behind Guo Henian, and Liang Botao stood behind Li Zhiwen.
"Li Sheng, I have to apologize to you first. The Miramar Hotel Group is my fault, I didn't inform Li Sheng in advance!" Guo Henian apologized first.
"It doesn't matter, it's business, it's not what I want to do, but I'm very curious about what Guo Sheng wants to do next. Is it better to be provocative at this time?" Li Zhiwen asked.
"It's not enough to be provocative, but Li Sheng also knows that I also work in a hotel. Naturally, I have no way to refuse Yang Bingzheng's olive branch, so I apologize to Li Sheng!" Guo He Nian said.
"What does it matter, whether there is a contract or not, someone will bid for it, but I am bound to win the Miramar Hotel Group, whether it is Li Jiacheng, Li Zhaoji, or Guo Sheng, I will not give in. That's why Guo Sheng invited me here today, it's really a miscalculation, and this kind of negotiation doesn't make any sense!" Li Zhiwen said.
