Tan Kah Kee? Situ Nan felt that the man in front of him was a little familiar, and couldn't help asking

"I am. Who are you? Chen Jiageng looked at Situ Nan curiously, he had already mainly gone to this young man next to Li Yuanshan.

Compared with the guests around him who were a certain age, the young and tall Situ Nan stood out a bit from the crowd, and he couldn't get noticed if he wanted to.

"Situ Nan, American business, or you can call it Stoney? William. Hello, Mr. Chen, I've always wanted to know you, and I've finally got my wish. Situ Nan said sincerely.

Chen Kah Kee has always been the object of Situ Nan's admiration, not only commercial success, but also has a pure heart, in the history that Situ Nan is familiar with, Chen Kah Kee in order to resist Japan and save the country, do not hesitate to pour out his family property, this style, really let in admiration. The three words of Chen Jiageng are not only a business, but also a monument.

"Hello! Mr. Szeto. Chen Jiageng has a good impression of Situ Nan, although it is only the first time they have met, but his intuition tells him that this young man is worth befriending, especially the bright eyes are clear and introverted, and he should have good cultivation, and he is by no means a treacherous person.

The first time he met Situ Nan, he left a deep impression on Chen Kah Kee, Chen Kah Kee saw a set, he felt that the young man in front of him was not simple.

"Haha! Brother Chen, don't look at Mr. Situ as young, but his achievements far surpass ours. The luxurious cruise ship anchored at the port is Mr. Situ's, he has just come from Europe, and this time our Li family started a tin company, and Mr. Situ has a lot of them. ”

Li Yuanshan interjected. After Li Renqiao returned from Medan, he told Li Yuanshan some secrets within the Gong Party. From Li Renqiao's mouth, Li Yuanshan knew that the Meihua Company he had always admired was only a corner of Situ Nan's property, so his attitude towards Situ Nan was more respectful, and he had a tendency to completely fall to the Zhi Gong Party.

"Oh? The boat turned out to be Mr. Situ's, I really didn't expect it. Tan Kah Kee was surprised. When he landed on the shore, he glanced at the William in the harbor, and was flashed by William's figure. He didn't like luxury, but he understood that the extravagant William was officially a symbol of his youthful status.

"Uncle Li has won the prize, I am lucky to make some money. There's still a lot to learn from your seniors. By the way, it's good if you call me Anan, it's too much to call Mr. Situ the old name. Mr. Chen, can I call you Uncle Chen? Situ Nan said modestly.

Situ Nan's attitude made Li Yuanshan and Chen Jiageng very useful, and Chen Jiageng smiled heartily: "Of course." Anan, it's really terrifying! ”

Chen Jiageng wanted to talk to Situ Nan, but found that he didn't know anything about Situ Nan except that he knew that the other party was very rich. So he turned his head to Li Yuanshan, "Brother Li, I heard that you want to organize a tin industry guild?" Don't forget me about such good things. I also have a tin mine in Gulonglu, I hope Brother Li will take care of him. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. I want to take this opportunity to ventilate with the big guys. More than half of Malaya's tin industry is in China, but the British have made a lot of money, and we can only make hard money behind the home. This is not good, we must unite and form an adult, otherwise even if we are not defeated by the British, we will only be able to burn with the scraps they eat behind. ”

Li Yuanshan said excitedly that with the support of the powerful American Chinese consortium, he is confident that he will have a place in Malaya's tin industry.

"That's a good point." Chen Jiageng nodded, infected by Li Yuanshan's pride, he thought for a while, and said: "It's rare that Brother Li has such determination, I want to sell the tin mine under my name to Li's Tin Company, what do you think?" ”

"Okay! But I think it's better for Brother Chen to invest in our Li's tin company with tin ore? Li Yuanshan glanced at Chen Jiageng and said.

It would be good to be able to acquire Tan Kah Kee's tin industry, but it is better to expand the Li Tin Company in the form of equity exchange and use the saved funds to purchase equipment. Tan Kah Kee's tin mine is not large, and a stake in Lee's tin industry will not pose a threat to Li Yuanshan.

It is naturally more cost-effective to invest in Li's tin industry than to sell the tin mine directly, Chen Jiageng didn't know Li Yuanshan's thoughts, thinking that the other party was thinking about himself. He was a little moved and said, "I can't hide it, Brother Li's kindness is understood." I wanted to sell the tin industry and invest my money in rubber and other businesses. I'll give you a ninety-fifty discount, do you see it? ”

"Then, thank you, Brother Chen. I'll send it in and hand it over when I turn around. Li Yuanshan said happily. It is very cost-effective to enter the tin industry in Guala Lumpur for a little money, and Chen Jiageng will not open his mouth widely, and the price offered is also affordable, so Li Yuanshan has no reason to refuse.

"Uncle Chen is so confident in the rubber plantation industry?" Situ Nan asked. Of course, he knew that in the next ten years, the automobile industry would develop rapidly, and countless wheels would need a lot of rubber, which would directly stimulate the rubber plantation industry in Nanyang. Investing in the rubber planting industry is absolutely profitable, and Situ Nan is also very optimistic about the rubber planting industry, especially Nanyang, which should not be let go.

"Huh. It's not that I'm confident, it's that the market is confident. Rubber is becoming more and more widely used, it can produce tires, rubber shoes, raincoats, sealing rings, aircraft tank parts, rubber is needed in all walks of life, and the market is broad. At present, the production of chemically synthesized rubber is limited, and we can only rely on the rubber of the Ran. So I'm very bullish on the rubber plantation industry. ”

Tan Kah Kee replied. He has been engaged in rubber planting for several years, from 1905 to spend 2,000 yuan to buy rubber seeds, now has thousands of acres of rubber plantations, in addition to a rubber glove factory worth hundreds of thousands, Tan Kah Kee's career is inseparable from rubber plantation. His assets have exceeded one million and he has become one of the few well-known rubber merchants in Malaya.

But this is not enough, Tan Kah Kee, who has tasted the sweetness of rubber planting, plans to continue to increase investment, for which he plans to sell tin mines, rice shops, fruit canneries and other industries to raise more money. This is the main task of his attendance at the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

"That's a good point, and I feel the same way. Now that there is peace after the war, it is also wise to invest in the emerging rubber industry. I also have the idea of investing in rubber plantations, and if Uncle Chen is interested, we can talk about it later. Situ Nan looked at Chen Jiageng with a smile.

"Okay!" Chen Jiageng replied briskly and made an appointment with Situ Nan to invest in a rubber plantation. The first meeting between the two sides was over, and they turned to the others to continue the conversation.

When Chen Jiageng walked away, Li Yuanshan asked Situ Nan: "Is it really so easy to make money by planting rubber?" Situ Nan's enthusiastic attitude towards Chen Jiageng just now made him a little surprised.

"It's very profitable. Don't you know Uncle Chen? It is not difficult to invest 1 million and become 10 million in 10 years. Situ Nan said with a smile.

"Then reserve a share for me, my old Li family can't miss such a money-making opportunity." Li Yuanshan hurriedly said, for fear that Situ Nan would leave him and run to cooperate with Chen Jiageng.

Li Yuanshan's "monkey urgency" made Situ Nan a little funny, and he comforted: "Li Bo, investing in rubber is to make money, but our White Spoon Tin Company is not bad?" Money can't be earned, Li Bo, you can concentrate on doing a good job in the tin company! ”

"Huh. That's too. Li Yuanshan said a little embarrassed. Since learning Situ Nan's identity, Li Yuanshan believed that Situ Nan had the magic power of turning stones into gold, and he couldn't help but be moved when he heard that Situ Nan was so optimistic about the rubber plantation industry.

"There's something out of balance in mentality. Jing Ran can't compare to a descendant. Li Yuanshan thought with some shame in his heart. There is no way, Situ Nan's "pressure" on Li Yuanshan is too great, a young man can conjure an empire from empty hands in less than ten years, such an achievement really makes Li Yuanshan admire, and even some admire.

Obtaining Tan Kah Kee's tin ore made Li Yuanshan more confident in the Tin Industry Guild, and he took Situ Nan confidently into a luxurious and quiet room, where several leaders of Nanyang Chinese businessmen were seated.

Including Teo Kim Ho, who inherited the Penang Cheung Pitt family, Lu Yunhuai of Singapore's Lu You family, Hu Guolian, the king of Guala Lumpur tin mines, Lin Qingquan, the king of the Philippine forestry, the king of sugar in Jakarta, Jian Zhaonan of Nanyang Tobacco Company, Hu Wenhu, the king of Myanmar's jack-of-all-trades, and finally Tan Kah Kee, who just met Situ Nan.

The Chinese businessmen have been "suffering" for a long time, and they have long been eager to take the lead against the British tin merchants. Although not all of them are engaged in the tin industry, they are very interested in the Huajin Tin Industry Association proposed by Li Yuanshan, and maybe they are also somewhat interested in investing in the tin industry.

Seeing Li Yuanshan with an excessively young man, everyone was curious, and they all looked at Situ Nan, they probably heard that the young man in front of them was a wealthy American businessman, and the cruise ship outside the port was brought by him.

Situ Nan nodded towards the crowd with a smile, and glanced at the crowd, some of them smiled, some nodded perfunctorily, and some of them were indifferent and cold, all of which fell into Situ Nan's eyes one by one. Maybe an ordinary person has stage fright against this group of the richest and most powerful Chinese chambers of commerce in Nanyang, but this will definitely not happen to Situ Nan.

He walked over to a chair next to Tan Kah Kee and sat down generously.

"Uncle Chen, hello! We meet again. Situ Nan nodded at Chen Jiageng and said.

"Yes." Chen Jiageng smiled and said to Li Yuanshan again, "Brother Chen, why don't you introduce Anan to you?" ”

As soon as Chen Jiageng spoke, Ma interrupted the somewhat cold atmosphere just now.

Li Yuanshan clasped his fists in public and said, "It's a good day today, and it's rare for everyone to get together." I would like to introduce my partner, Situ Nan, who has returned from the United States. Don't look at his young age, he is a shareholder of the United States and China Company, and he also has a lot of industries in the United States and knows many politicians and businessmen. This time we are going to become a tin industry guild, which is also Anan's idea. ”

Situ Nan stood up, learned from Li Yuanshan to arch his hand, and said: "Boy Situ Nan, it's a pleasure to meet all the seniors, I hope you seniors will take care of you."

This kid is really good at pretending! If Lao Li didn't know your details, he really didn't know who took care of whom? Li Yuanshan looked at Zhongjin's expression with a smile.

He has participated in similar Chinese chambers of commerce, don't look at the attitudes of several people present are very kind, but their peers are enemies, and the competition between Chinese businessmen is also very fierce. If he hadn't found the support of Meihua, Li Yuanshan would not have had the confidence to establish the Tin Industry Association.

It seems that it is really necessary to rectify the disorderly competition in Huajin tin mining! Li Yuanshan thought in his heart.
