Singapore Lion City, a country is a city, and a city is a country.

This beautiful coastal city, a beautiful coastal country, with the United States, Li Jun feels very happy.

Here, both Eva and Lee speak Mandarin, as the majority of Singaporeans are Chinese, about 76 percent.

This country of the Asian Tigers, now surrounded by high-rise buildings, is really extremely prosperous, even beyond Hong Kong Island, and its position as the head of the Asian Tigers cannot be underestimated.

Eva grabbed Li Jun's fingers on the bed and asked, "Jun, why are most of you Chinese people in this country?"

Eva doesn't know much about Singapore's history, and she is very confused about how Singaporeans speak Chinese, as well as many Chinese people on the street.

"Well, it's a long story, but 180 years ago, it was just a desolate fishing village of more than 100 people. ”

"Oh my God, such a beautiful place used to be just a small fishing village, isn't this a country, a beautiful city?"

It's unbelievable.

Eva felt incredible, this place was so developed, a hundred years ago it was just a barren place, more than she imagined.

She was suddenly filled with all kinds of curiosity about the country of Singapore.

Li Jun asked, "How did it develop into such a developed place, Li?"

"One hundred and eighty years ago, a British colonialist Raffles led the crowd to land in Singapore, when Singapore was just a pirate-infested, few inhabitants of the fishing village, the reason why Raffles landed here, is out of the needs of British colonial policy, Britain in order to maintain their commercial interests in Southeast Asia and the whole of Asia, control the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean important passage of the Strait of Malacca, urgently need to find a trading port at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, Singapore's superior geographical location, was selected, in the history books of Singapore, the landing of Raffles in Singapore, as the beginning of the opening of the port, and then Singapore became a British colony。 ”

"Jun, since Singapore is a British colony, why are most of the people Chinese?"

This is related to the modern history of China, when the British carried out several opium wars against China, which made many southerners leave their homeland and come to Singapore to grow tobacco for the British colonists, and there were as many as 200,000 Chinese here a hundred years ago, so today's Singaporean citizens accounted for the majority of the pattern at that time. ”

What Li Jun said later is the black history of the Lion City.

It was also a history of blood and tears in which the Chinese people were beaten after they were backward.

Under the land of Singapore, it is not known how many Chinese laborers who were enslaved and died by the colonizers were buried.

……

"In other words, there are a lot of entrepreneurs in Singapore that I admire?"

The boss, entrepreneur, who can make Li Jun admire, is also very curious.

"Who are they and what kind of stories do they have?"

"They are the older generation of Chinese entrepreneurs, there are Mr. Tan Kah Kee, there are Mr. Lee Kong Chian, they have made a great contribution to the cause of resistance against Japan in China, that year the War of Resistance against Japan broke out, the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Relief Motherland Refugees Association was established in Singapore, Mr. Tan Kah Kee was elected as the chairman, he himself took the lead in donating, in a year's time, remitted as much as 360 million yuan to China, in the four years from the Lugou Bridge Incident to the outbreak of the Pacific War, a total of 1.5 billion yuan was donated, you must know that it was 30 years of money, and it can be hundreds of billions now！”

"He was such a patriotic businessman. ”

Eva also involuntarily praised from the bottom of her heart.

For Eva, she has ordinary Chinese blood, and because of Li Jun's relationship, she has also regarded Huaxia as her second motherland.

……

"Yes, Tan Kah Kee is a patriotic businessman, not only in the Anti-Japanese War when donations, in the early years of Singapore after getting rich, he returned to Xiamen, he was born in the city area of Jimei, has founded Jimei Primary School, Jimei Middle School, Normal, Fisheries, Navigation, Commerce, Agriculture and Forestry and other schools and Xiamen University, Jimei Village teachers and students respect him as the school owner. ”

A man is very rich, and in his time, he has done something very valuable, and this is what a truly super-rich man does.

In Singapore, Li Jun next met many Chinese predecessors who became famous in Singapore.

For example, the super-rich Chiu Teck Puat founded Bank Malaysia with his friends, and together with the late Hong Kong ship king Pao Yuk-kong, he injected capital into the British Standard Chartered Bank, which was then a hostile takeover, in the form of a white knight. Khoo is now the bank's single largest shareholder and a well-known hotel tycoon in Southeast Asia with operations all over the world.

For example, the super-rich Guo Lingming, a 14-year-old who went to Singapore with a roll of straw mats to make a living, worked as an apprentice in a hardware store during the day and went to night school to tutor at night. Later, together with three brothers, he opened a small shop called "Hong Leong", and half a century later, Hong Leong became one of the largest Chinese business consortia in Asia.

He was very far-sighted, and as soon as the Second World War ended, he immediately had a premonition that there would be a shortage of supplies, so he invested money to buy a large number of surplus military supplies at very low prices. These supplies quickly became a sought-after commodity, bringing huge profits to Hong Leong. Guo Fangfeng also foresaw the economic reconstruction of various countries after the war, and land and building materials will become hot goods. Beginning in 1947, he bought large tracts of land cheaply, and by the 70s, these properties were worth a hundred times. At this time, he set up Hong Leong Industrial Sdn Bhd to operate in the real estate industry.

For example, Wu Qingliang, the founder of Nippon paint, many people in later generations think that Nippon paint is the paint of the island country, in fact, Nippon paint is a Chinese paint, when he was young, he was a painter, when he was engaged in the paint business, it happened to be in 1949, the British auctioned the leftover materials of World War II, among them, there was a batch of waste paint and waste, almost no one cared about it, Wu Qingliang bought it at a very cheap price, while groping for waste utilization, while rummaging through chemistry books, consulting chemistry teachers, mixing the batch of second-hand various solvent pigments and chemicals together, concocted the pigeon brand paint, and later, because of its fame, it was called a stinky lacquer worker by Singaporeans。

Island country time-honored paint manufacturer Island Paint and later called the island paint company decided to establish a company in Southeast Asia, because Lao Wu has technology and paint knowledge, and its joint venture to establish the company, its shareholding is as high as 60%, after the establishment of the company, its business to Singapore as the axis, rapid expansion to the surrounding Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and other markets, become now the largest paint manufacturer in Asia, its wealth continues to expand......

Li Jun continues to enter and exit the upper circles of Singapore, knows many rich people, and looks for opportunities for cooperation, of course, because these rich people are now eyeing China.

For example, Mr. Wu of Nippon Paint talked about the establishment of a joint venture paint company with Li Jun in Huaxia to transport Nippon paint to the Chinese market......

Li Jun is constantly seeking industry for Huaxia.

At this time, Eva is also constantly infiltrating Singapore's financial industry, and in the future, she will do a big job in the bridgehead of the Asian financial tsunami, the Lion City, and Soros!
