Chapter 674: Bigwigs from all walks of life gather
When Fang Chen helped Guo Henian to reach the restaurant, he saw that the restaurant was already bustling with people, and in addition to Li Xiaohua, as well as Guo Kongcheng and other children of the Guo family who came out to accompany them, most of them were middle-aged and elderly people in their fifties and sixties, and even many of them were seventy or eighty years old who had reached the age of antiquity, or even old age.
Judging from the age and bearing of these people, there is no doubt that these should be the top richest people in Malaysia and even Southeast Asia.
He roughly counted the people here, even excluding the children of the Guo family, there were at least seventy or eighty people.
Fang Chen's eyes couldn't help narrowing, this formation was a bit big.
"Henian, don't you feel ashamed if you let Mr. Fang support you and be a disciple to drive?" an old man in his seventies with white hair said with a smile and joked to Guo Henian.
Guo Henian smiled and said casually: "Ah Liang, are you jealous of me and Fang always being a family, besides, Fang always doesn't care, what do you care about?"
Fang Chen didn't speak, but pulled the corners of his mouth to the sides, revealing a subtle smile that was just right, the two old friends who were one hundred and fifty years old together joked with each other, how could he not interject.
However, he was secretly guessing in his heart who this old man was, and if he could talk to Guo Henian in such a tone, he must be on a par with Guo Henian.
But the word Ah Liang revealed so little information that he really couldn't guess.
However, these two should have known each other a long time ago, otherwise Guo Henian would not have called this old man Ah Liang, Ah Liang, who is in his seventies, this title always feels a little weird.
Guo Henian and the two laughed for a while, and then Guo Henian pointed to the old man and introduced to Fang Chen: "Mr. Fang, this is Lin Shaoliang from Indonesia, a native of Fuqing, Hujian Province, presumably you should know him." ”
Immediately after, not knowing what to think, Guo Henian's voice changed, "But if you really don't know, it doesn't matter, you can just know me in Southeast Asia." ”
Fang Chen naturally knew that Guo Henian was playing a round for him, I was afraid that he really didn't know who this Lin Shaoliang was, but how could he not know Lin Shaoliang, the richest man in Indonesia!
Lin Shaoliang is a legendary figure not inferior to Guo Henian in the Chinese circle in Nanyang, and even Huang Hongnian and their Huang family became the richest man in Indonesia, or after Lin Shaoliang retired, regardless of the family's business.
Lin Shaoliang is not only the richest man in Indonesia, but also one of the top ten richest people in the world a few years ago, and the American "Investor" magazine also rated Lin Shaoliang as one of the world's top 12 bankers.
When he decided to let Xiaobawang go to Southeast Asia, he also specifically checked Lin Shaoliang's information, Lin Shaoliang's Lin Group, the total assets have reached more than 17 billion US dollars, that is, equivalent to more than 90 billion Huaxia coins, and there are nearly 600 companies under his name.
The business covers textile, cement, chemical, electronics, forestry, fishery, shipping, insurance, finance, real estate, gold and gemstone, restaurants and restaurants, medical equipment, telecommunications equipment, steel and other industries.
And distributed in Indonesia, Singapore, Xiangjiang, Liberia, the Netherlands, the United States and other countries and regions, it can be said that Lin's Group is an international consortium across Asia, Africa, Europe and the United States.
The most important thing is that Lin Shaoliang is also known as a red-top businessman, and it can even be said that his achievements have surpassed Hu Xueyan in Indonesia.
Lin Shaoliang, who had just entered Indonesia not long ago, once saved the father-in-law of Sukarno, the first president of Indonesia, by chance, and let him hide in his home for more than a year.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Lin Shaoliang has since become engaged in the arms and medicine business, carrying weapons and military supplies purchased from Singapore on a sailboat, and then, with his familiarity with the terrain and sea routes, he maneuvered left and right, skillfully crossed the Dutch blockade line, and safely transported a batch of arms and medicines to the Indonesian army in Central Java.
While reaping considerable profits, he also forged deep personal friendships with important Indonesian figures such as Sukarno.
"Henian, isn't it easy for me to speak in Southeast Asia?" Lin Shaoliang said pretending to be angry.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Shaoliang pointed at Guo Henian and said to Fang Chen: "And Mr. Fang, do you know, this old man is also talking in Southeast Asia, and some people just listen to him." ”
"And me!" Lin Shaoliang patted his chest proudly.
"It's not just in Southeast Asia, even in the United States, in Europe, but if you have anything, you can come to me. In addition, you can also hand over to me the promotion of game consoles in Indonesia, and there will never be such a pickled thing as today, Henian, I will blush for you. ”
Saying that, Lin Shaoliang scratched his face and signaled to be shy for Guo Henian, obviously he already knew about today's patent office.
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and even Guo Henian shook his head helplessly.
"Lin Dong thank you for your kindness, I will definitely toast you with a glass of wine later to show my gratitude. Fang Chen said with a smile.
In fact, the promotion of Xiaobawang game consoles in Indonesia, he has already instructed Huang Hongnian, and he doesn't need Lin Shaoliang's help, but Lin Shaoliang, an old man who is almost old, has said so, and he always has to follow.
"This is one of the four great ship kings of Xiangjiang, Cao Wenjin. Guo Henian introduced to Fang Chen again, the sixty-year-old man next to Lin Shaoliang.
A glimmer of light flashed in Fang Chen's eyes, Cao Wenjin also knew that he was also a wealthy man in Xiangjiang and even the world's Chinese circle, and the most commendable thing was that generally speaking, the rich were not more than three generations, but the Cao family was rich for five generations.
Cao Wenjin's grandfather was a well-known wealthy businessman in Shencheng, and by the time Cao Wenjin's father's generation came, the Cao family had become one of the few large real estate developers in Shencheng, and there was a transport fleet and a bank under his name, and his family's assets reached tens of millions of dollars.
In the era when the US dollar was still pegged to gold, what a terrifying concept it was, and all the US aid to China during the Anti-Japanese War was only $800 million.
However, what is interesting is that after the Cao family arrived in Xiangjiang, from decline to revival again, its first pot of gold was started by Cao Wenjin in the period of resisting the United States and aiding the United States to transport much-needed gasoline and steel to China.
After 1953, Cao Wenjin was blacklisted by the United States because of his domestic transportation trade, and was prohibited from entering American ports to do business with American companies and settling payments in US dollars.
For nearly a decade after that, Da Nan was in trouble and struggled until 1962, when the United States removed Da Nan from the blacklist.
"We are really happy and relieved that there can be a young man like Mr. Fang in the mainland. Cao Wenjin said with a smile.
"Cao Dong's words are really polite, it should be my honor to meet you seniors today. Fang Chen said politely.
After a few words of greeting, Guo Henian pointed to the next one, and then introduced to Fang Chen: "This is Zheng Yutong, Zheng Dong, I guess you also know each other." ”
Fang Chen nodded, Zheng Yutong naturally knew him, there are a number of rich people in Xiangjiang, in the list of the richest people in Xiangjiang in later generations, only ranked below Li Chaoren and Li Shauji, worth hundreds of billions of Chinese dollars, Chow Tai Fook is his family's industry, and he is also the chairman of ATV, holding 47% of ATV's shares.
Guo Henian introduced these people to Fang Chen, and the introduction lasted for nearly an hour.
After introducing a circle, Fang Chen helped Guo Henian back, and he thanked Guo Henian in a low voice: "Guo Dong, today's formation is really too big, thank you so much." ”
In addition to the wealthy people in Southeast Asia, Xiangjiang and even Treasure Island, there are also some wealthy Chinese businessmen in Europe and the United States, many of whom are really unknown to Fang Chen.
And he calculated, just the sum of the people he knew was at least more than one trillion according to Huaxia currency, what is called a rich country, this is a rich country.
You must know that last year, the total domestic GDP was only 2 trillion.
However, it is important for Guo Henian to hold the significance of this banquet.
After this banquet, these people can be said to be his connections, which will be of great benefit to the development of his companies in Southeast Asia, Xiangjiang, and even the world.
Guo Henian smiled slightly and patted Fang Chen's hand gently, "It's nothing, the main thing is that everyone also wants to meet you, besides, we are a family, so we don't need to be so angry." ”
Fang Chen nodded lightly, no matter what, he was the key to the Guo family's favor.
Coming to the seat, Fang Chen originally planned to accompany the last seat, but was pulled by Lin Shaoliang to his side, Fang Chen wanted to resist, but he was afraid of hurting Lin Shaoliang, and finally had to sit helplessly in the middle of Lin Shaoliang and Guo Henian.
Li Xiaohua in the distance looked at Fang Chen with envy and hatred on his face, like the stars holding the moon, and was guarded by Fang Chen in the middle.
To say that he knew the Guo family early on, but he had never enjoyed such treatment.
Although Guo Henian also introduced some Chinese billionaires to him, he did not have such a big formation.
Just invited him to a dinner, and by the way, introduced a few rich people to him, and most importantly, Guo Henian's attitude towards him at that time was not so affectionate.
As for the family and the like, I haven't said anything like that.
The more I thought about it, the more angry Li Xiaohua became, although Fang Chen is now the richest man in China, he has also been the richest man in China, and the difference in treatment between the richest man and the richest man is inevitably too big.
But after thinking about it, Li Xiaohua's heart was bitter, he and Fang Chen were indeed the richest people, but the gap was indeed quite big.
Fang Chen's age was not even half of his, but his wealth was more than ten times that of his, so it seemed that Guo Henian and the others did this, it was not surprising.
Li Xiaohua grabbed the wine in the cup and took a sip, feeling that the wine was bitter and astringent today.
And not long after Li Xiaohua got drunk, Fang Chen soon became drunk and unconscious.
Seeing that Fang Chen, the protagonist, was drunk, this group of old men who were at least five or six thousand years old showed a smug smile, and Jiang was still old and spicy.
However, as long as they toasted in turn, let alone Fang Chen, even if the gods came, they couldn't bear it.
Fang Chen really didn't want to drink, but there was no way, a group of people who were about the same age as the old man wanted to ask him for a toast, could he refuse.
After letting Wu Maocai and Guo Mengxiang help Fang Chen go back to rest, Lin Shaoliang and the others also went to the guest room to rest under the guidance of their subordinates.
Anyway, the Guo family is big enough, there are more than 2,000 rooms of all kinds, not to mention 100 people, even if there are 100 more people, they can live there.
After serving Guo Henian to bed, and bringing him a cup of strong tea to relieve hangover, Guo Kongcheng did not leave, but sat aside, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Guo Henian glanced at his son and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, what are you hiding it for." ”
"It's nothing, I just think you're always too polite to the other party today. Guo Kongcheng said in a deep voice.
To be honest, he felt a little blushing today, and in order to slap Fang Chen, he had moved so much scheming and arrangement, and it had reached the point of making a mistake.
"I have always been polite to the other party today, but can you tell me why you, Uncle Lin, Uncle Cao, and Uncle Zheng are also willing to accompany me to mess around?" Guo Henian asked rhetorically.
As soon as these words came out, Guo Kongcheng was dumbfounded, his mouth moved a few times, but he couldn't say a word.
After his father mentioned this, he found out that obviously Lin Shaoliang, Cao Wenjin, and Zheng Yutong were too courteous to Fang Chen.
You must know that the three of them also specially pushed away all the things in their hands, and then made a special trip to Kuala Lumpur from thousands of miles away to participate in this banquet, which can be said to have given Fang Chen enough face.
If the father's courtesy to Fang Chen alone is too much and there is a problem, then Lin Shaoliang, Cao Wenjin, and Zheng Yutong can't have problems together, right?
And in addition to these three, there are so many Chinese rich people, it can't be said that they also have problems, right?
There is only one answer, that is, they are all fine, but he Guo Kongcheng has a problem.
"The reason why so many people can come today is that everyone gives me face, and the other is that Fang Chen is worthy of them. Guo Henian said slowly.
"But I really can't see it, what does this Fang always have that you and your uncles value him so much? Speaking of wealth, not to mention our Guo family, Lin family, Cao family, and Zheng family, which is not several times more than Fang Chen's worth!" Guo Kongcheng said with some unconvinced.
Hearing this, Guo Henian did not get angry, but smiled, and the smile made Guo Kongcheng feel like he was in a fog, and the second monk was confused.
It even reminded him that when he was a child, he did wrong things and said stupid things, and his father laughed like this.
"Yes, Fang Chen's wealth is indeed nothing to our family, and it can even be said that more than half of the people who came to the banquet today are worth no less than Fang Chen, but Fang Chen has more than just wealth, he has too many things in his hands that are more important than wealth. Guo Henian said calmly.
