It is often said that poverty limits our imagination, but what Lin Fan wants to say is that our imagination itself limits our imagination. Just like in previous lives, can you imagine that all aspects of clothing, food, housing, transportation, and entertainment are actually related to Alibaba and Tencent? We can't imagine how far a legendary enterprise will flourish, that is something we can never imagine.

Just like now, Lin Fan listened to Guo Kongcheng's narration, and he realized that he really underestimated the Chinese family in Malaysia. Not only Guo Henian, but other Chinese families are also very good.

For example, Guo Lingxian has two Guo families that are most famous in the entire Southeast Asian region, one is the Guo family of the Malaysian Kerry Group where Guo Kongcheng belongs. One is the Kwok family of Singapore's Hong Leong Group, where Kwok Ling was born, Kwok Ling was the nephew of the Kwok family, when he came to Malaysia, Hong Leong Group only had a small trading company in Malaysia. But in the hands of Guo Lingxian, it is more prosperous than the new home headquarters in Lapso.

Guo Lingxian is best known as the nickname of the corporate doctor, he is the best at acquiring companies, and most of the acquired companies are not doing well and facing losses, but in his hands they can often recover quickly. In the 70s, Guo Lingxian bought the little-known Daoheng Bank, and 20 years later sold it to the Development Bank of Singapore for $5.3 billion, making a profit of $2.9 billion in one fell swoop! This move caused a sensation throughout Southeast Asia! He also relied on this to establish his identity as a capital predator.

Although it took 20 years to earn $2.9 billion, Lin Fan still admires it very much. Lin Fan knew the many opportunities in his previous life, so he could make money as simple as drinking water. But what about Guo Lingxian? It is a way for him to get out step by step.

"Guo Sheng, why did you remember to tell me about your kindred?"

Guo Kongcheng smiled, "Whether you can get the bank's shares or not has a lot to do with this." ”

"Oh?"

"Did you know that this is the largest shareholder of Hong Leong Bank, with more than 70 per cent of the shares, and Hong Leong Bank is the fifth largest in Malaysia's banking sector. Speaking of this, Guo Kong Cheng paused, "In addition, Guo Lingxian also holds part of the shares of Union Bank Malaysia. ”

Lin Fan frowned, "Guo Sheng, I can't hide it, as early as I came to Malaysia, I have already investigated the details of major banks. I would actually prefer Maybank or other bumiputera banks. It is not easy for Chinese to survive in a foreign country, and it is through owning bank shares that they can maintain a certain position in the Malaysian business community, and now I take those shares...... All in all, I don't want to let the Chinese lose out just to meet my needs. ”

Guo Kongcheng listened to Lin Fan's heartfelt words, and was stunned at first, as if he really understood Lin Fan today.

"Guo Sheng, maybe you think it's a bit hypocritical for me to do this. But it doesn't matter, I don't have much idea about making money now, I just want to do it according to my own ideas. ”

"Lin Sheng, you don't have to say it again. I can assure you that if you take a stake in these Chinese banks, it is not out of my favor, and you can even help them. ”

"Oh?" Lin Fan was a little surprised, surprised by the word "them", could it be that there was someone else besides Guo Lingxian?

Hong Leong Hotel, private room.

When the door was opened, two people immediately stood up and said very enthusiastically, "Lin Sheng is here, welcome." ”

Guo Kongcheng introduced on the side, "Lin Sheng, this is Mr. Guo Lingxian from Hong Leong Bank. ”

"Mr.'s demeanor has not diminished back then, and the younger generations admire him. ”

"Lin Sheng is the back wave of the Yangtze River pushing the front wave, we are already old. ”

At this moment, an older gentleman next to him spoke, "Ling Xian, if you are old, won't my old man be buried in the ground?" After joking Guo Lingxian, the old man also spoke, "I am Zheng Hongbiao of Public Bank." ”

"Zheng Lao founded the Public Bank from scratch, and he beat the foreign banks, which is the pride of my Chinese!"

"Okay, good, it's rare that Lin Sheng still remembers the old man's past. ”

"Okay, now that we all know each other, let's sit down and talk. Guo Kongcheng said on the side, "Elder Zheng, Brother Guo, before I start talking, I'll tell you about a Coke." ”

"Oh?"

"You know, when Lin Sheng knew that it was you who he wanted to meet, he didn't want to come. ”

"Huh?"

Because Lin Sheng didn't want to take a stake in a Chinese bank, he said that the Chinese had finally gained a foothold in Malaysia with the help of the bank. Everyone was willing to sell his shares to him out of favor. But he can't just take care of himself and trap everyone. Do you think our Lin Sheng is not happy?"

Zheng Hongbiao was stunned for a moment, and then raised his teacup, "Lin Sheng, I will toast you with tea instead of wine, and I will make you a friend." ”

"Elder Zheng, you are serious, I am a junior in front of you. ”

Zheng Hongbiao wiped his mouth, "Lin Sheng, you don't understand the hearts of us overseas Chinese, here we make money with our ability, but we are poked in the backbone by the local natives, so the Chinese can only rely on each other." You can think about us, we have written this down. ”

Lin Fan showed a puzzled look, "Old Zheng, put it aside reluctantly, why did Guo Sheng say that I would buy shares or help you?"

Guo Ling first opened his mouth to explain, "Lin Sheng, you don't know much about Malaysian law. Not long ago, Bank Negara Malaysia issued a new law that stipulates that individuals cannot hold more than 10% of bank shares. ”

Lin Fan immediately understood, "Isn't this clearly targeting the Chinese?"

Zheng Hongbiao smiled disdainfully, "There is also an Azman from AmBank, but he only holds 13% of the shares, and he can sell 3% of the shares." But what about us?"

"Isn't this the Maybank incident?" Lin Fan said hatefully. Maybank is the largest bank in Malaysia and is currently held by the Malaysian government in excess of 60% of the shares. But a few decades ago, it was a bank owned by the Chinese Khoo Tak Po, who controlled more than 80% of the shares, but was forced to nationalize by the Malaysian government!

"Hmph, this time the Malaysian government is not so ugly. Because Mr. Zheng and I are both founders of the bank, we can enjoy so many shares in the bank. But the next generation of heirs can only hold 10 percent of the bank's shares. ”

"The Malaysian government is truly shameless. ”

"That's okay, we finally have time to prepare, and we have the time to choose to sell our shares. ”

Lin Fan didn't give up and said, "Can't you indirectly hold bank shares by holding other companies." ”

Zheng Hongbiao smiled bitterly, "Maybe the natives can, but the Chinese are difficult." For the sake of our other business in Malaysia, we have no choice but to sell our shares. ”

"Are you going to let others slaughter like this?"

"What else can we do?" Guo Ling spread his hands first.

A smile flashed at the corner of Lin Fan's mouth, "You can resist......."
