Chapter 452: Smith who is regarded as the God of Wealth
When Chen Xiuli and Guo Feili said that they wanted to immigrate, their tone was very tough.
But when things do come to an end.
The Malaysian-Chinese actress still chose to compromise.
Her family used to live in Malaysia, and life was very ordinary.
It wasn't until she debuted and became a big star that her family became richer day by day.
The whole family of seven, even because of her, all moved to live here in Xinjiapo.
In fact, if you can, Malaysian Chinese below the wealthy class can choose to live and develop in the metropolis.
First, Xinjiapo itself is the most prosperous city and country in Southeast Asia.
It has a great attraction to both Chinese and other ethnic groups.
This is normal, and the vast majority of human beings yearn for life in a modern metropolis.
Second, the main body that dominates this country has always been Chinese since the founding of the country.
The latter point is very attractive to the Malaysian Chinese, who have always been discriminated against and excluded everywhere, and even the diploma of Chinese schools is not recognized by the state.
I was able to immigrate to Singapore as a family from Malaysia, or even just live and work here.
For Malaysian Chinese below the affluent class, it is almost equivalent to the mainlanders in the 80s and 90s, and the whole family can go to live on Hong Kong Island.
Chen Xiuli's family has been in Xinjiapo for almost two years.
Because she is a star after all, and her family works hard enough.
Her family is about to obtain the qualification of Xinjiapo residents, and these two or three years are very critical inspection periods.
Chen Xiuli couldn't imagine it.
If it's for your own reasons.
The whole family will not be able to obtain residency status, and they may have to be kicked out of Xinjiapo.
What a terrible scenario it would be.
So for the sake of his family, but also for his own star journey.
Chen Xiuli is the same as more than a dozen other well-known actresses, models, and beauty pageant champions in Southeast Asia.
In the end, they all chose to give in and obey.
They went through an afternoon of special training, learning how to be a maid and how to please a man.
Well, many of them know a little bit about the latter.
After all, the industry they are engaged in is somewhat related to the big quagmire of the entertainment industry.
And women in the entertainment industry, except for a very few individuals, are mostly good at pleasing men.
At the end of the training, they were changed into the special costumes of various ethnic groups in Southeast Asia.
Then, under arrangement, enter one of the most luxurious beachfront villas near Siloso Beach to work as a maid and maid.
As long as you stay in Xinjiapo, they will stay here as long as you want.
Chen Xiuli wore the characteristic costume of "Ba Jing Nyonya".
The Ba Shan Nyonya is a very distinctive mixed-race ethnic group in Southeast Asia.
In the early 15th century, they were descendants of the Chinese who settled in the area of Manjapahita, Majapahit and Sri Buddha in Malaya, and were born after the union of ancient Chinese immigrants and aborigines.
Because the majority of Chinese fathers are predominant, the culture and habits of this ethnic group are very similar to those of Chinese, and can be regarded as a branch of Chinese.
It's just that in ancient times, because of its mixed-race identity, this ethnic group was neither popular with the Chinese nor the natives, and its identity was very embarrassing.
Chen Xiuli is actually not a Bagan Nyonya, she is a local pure-blood Chinese.
This is the local name for the descendants of Chinese whose ancestors are all intermarried among the Chinese.
Don't look at the TV series in Southeast Asia, I played Ba Jing Nyonya very well.
But in fact, this group had a very low status in the past.
However, Chen Xiuli wears this kind of clothes just for the sake of characteristics, and it does not mean that she is a Baba Nyonya.
And even if she doesn't want to wear it, she can't.
Chen Xiuli was full of reluctance in her heart, and at the same time extremely curious about who the distinguished guest was.
It was unexpectedly possible to make the authorities of Xinjiapo want these well-known women to do such a thing.
In the evening of the day.
Chen Xiuli and Guo Feili, after getting dressed, were taken by the European and American maids in the villa and started their work.
Because they are younger and more beautiful, Chen Xiuli and Guo Feili were able to enter the living room of the villa under the guidance of four European and American maids.
When she was full of curiosity, a pair of beautiful big eyes looked around with her head still and entered the living room of the manor house.
The scene inside surprised Chen Xiuli, and her beautiful eyes widened.
Because on the sofa in this living room.
She saw the most official public figures on TV in Xinjiapo.
The No. 1 person in Xinjiapo, the big boss!
I saw Mr. Li, who was full of white hair and laughing.
At this moment, Chen Xiuli and Guo Feili's eyes were straight.
They heard Leader Li talking to a tall, young foreign man in a respectful, even slightly flattering tone that they were unfamiliar with.
"Mr. Smith, Hong Kong Island is so envious to me. Your appearance has made the Hang Seng Index rise by 8.9% in the past half a month on Hong Kong Island! ”
"It's almost 10%! It's you, it's Mr. Smith. In our Chinese words, you are simply the God of Wealth. But I said that the name of the God of Wealth should be replaced by yours. ”
Leader Lee spoke English and was very fluent throughout the whole process, with a full Oxford accent.
The Oxford accent is the most standard accent in British English.
The various English tapes used to learn British English outside the UK, as well as the accents used by the BBC, are basically Oxford accents.
In Singapore Kapo and Malaysia, it is not surprising that English is spoken and spoken well.
can say such a standard of Oxford accent, Leader Li has obviously learned it ruthlessly.
But now, what Chen Xiuli and Guo Feili are curious about is not that Toutou Li's Oxford accent is very standard.
It's what kind of person can make Leader Li speak and treat with such a tone.
You must know that although Xinjiapo is a small country, it is very active in the international community because of its developed economy.
There is also a very important strait.
Taken together, these conditions make Xinjiapo have a strong influence and voice in Southeast Asia.
Leader Li himself is even more high-status among the leaders of the entire Southeast Asian region because of his ability.
Such a big man actually looks like this to such a young foreigner.
Chen Xiuli and Guo Feili's attention was all attracted by the foreign man in front of Leader Li.
I saw that the man looked very tall at a glance, sitting on the sofa, more than two heads taller than Leader Li.
But what is more striking is not the height of this foreign man, but his appearance.
At first glance, Chen Xiuli felt that he was even more handsome than Leonardo, who was popular throughout Southeast Asia because of the Titanic a few years ago.
At second glance, Chen Xiuli felt that he was a little familiar, as if she had seen it herself.
Just as she thought about it, she wanted to remember where she had seen this foreign man.
She heard Guo Feili next to her and screamed very quietly.
"Ahh
The sound was quiet, but it was still clearly visible in the quiet living room.
Both the man and Leader Li turned their heads to look at him.
Because of the majestic gaze of Leader Li, Chen Xiuli was so frightened that her legs straightened.
Guo Feili, who faced the eyes of the two and made a voice, was even more crying, and kept bending down to apologize softly.
Leader Li, who was still smiling just now, was full of majesty on his face at this time.
Even if she didn't face it directly, Chen Xiuli felt that her heartbeat was going to stop in fright.
At this time, they heard the handsome foreign man chuckle, "Harry, it's not as exaggerated as you say. The fact that Hong Kong Island's Hang Seng Index has risen so fast is not so much to my credit. ”
When Chen Xiuli saw his voice, she attracted the attention of Leader Li.
One of the big names in Southeast Asia is immediately in that gentle, humble tone.
This made her breathe a sigh of relief, and Guo Feili, who made a mistake next to her, looked at the foreign man even more gratefully.
"It's obvious to all. Mr. Smith, the numbers don't lie. Before you arrived, the Hang Seng Index hadn't risen as fast. ”
Seeing that Leader Li insisted on saying this, Abel had no choice but to smile and shake his head gently.
This evening, Leader Li came to visit again.
At the same time of visiting, he also sent a group of maids from Xinjiapo and Southeast Asian style.
In the past few days in Xinjiapo, Abel only felt that this old man was too good.
Although Abel knows that 99% of the old man's "upper way" is because he sees himself as the core figure of a big conglomerate in the United States.
But I have to say that because of the extremely high emotional intelligence and the deep understanding of Western culture. The old man's "upper way" not only did not make Abel feel uncomfortable, but also made him feel very happy.
The ability to "do a big thing" can be done to this extent, and I have to say that he is a talent.
So Abel left him to have dinner in the villa tonight.
After lunch, the two chatted in the living room.
Chatting and chatting, Leader Li talked about the Hang Seng Index on Hong Kong Island, which has risen by nearly 10% in the past week.
What's more, the Hang Seng Index has risen sharply, just a week ago, the media on Hong Kong Island began to rise on the second day of the news that the world's richest man visited Hong Kong Island and had a good conversation with the rich and elite on Hong Kong Island.
Afterwards, most of the Hong Kong Island media put the credit for the soaring Hang Seng Index on Abel.
These media are saying that it is precisely because Abel made extremely optimistic remarks about the future of Hong Kong Island when he visited Hong Kong.
The remarks of the world's richest man have caused a lot of international funds to pour into Hong Kong Island.
The large influx of foreign funds has rapidly raised the value of Hong Kong stocks.
As a result, the Hang Seng Index soared.
Later, it rose a lot, and some media even compared Abel with the God of Wealth in the Chinese god system.
said that he is the God of Wealth of the Hong Kong Island stock market and stockholders.
In short, both the official and non-governmental media have praised him.
This is the content that Leader Li was chatting with Abel just now.
In fact, Abel knows very well that the surge in the Hang Seng Index may be partly due to his own credit.
Because the title of the richest man in the world is more or less a plaque.
In the realm of wealth, there is still influence.
This is like Wang Duoyu and the stock god had a meal, and the stocks he bought all went up.
But in the final analysis, the more important reason is that the whole of Asia has been in the trough after the stock market crisis in the past two years.
Hong Kong Island has only recovered in the past two years since the last crisis.
At this time, Hong Kong Island's stock market is in a period of time when it has actually recovered, but because it has been hit too hard, the overall confidence is low.
Abel's visit and speech can be regarded as a stimulant for the Hong Kong Island stock market, which has regained its strength, to rebuild confidence.
In addition, there are indeed some international travel funds, and I feel that the purpose of Abel's visit to Hong Kong Island is not pure.
They felt that this might be a prelude to Abel's desire to attack the Hong Kong Island stock market.
Wall Street predators have always hated something after making a statement that they are optimistic about it.
felt that Abel was also like this, and they wanted to make oil and water to drink, so they quietly let some of the funds enter the Hong Kong Island stock market.
Even Soros secretly put in some of the funds......
A combination of factors eventually led to a situation in which the Hang Seng Index soared for a week after Abel's public appearance on Hong Kong Island.
"Harry, you've been talking about this. Do you want me to show up in Xinjiapo too? ”
Abel looked at Leader Li and said with a smile.
LEADER LI HAS SEVERAL FOREIGN NAMES, BUT ONLY ONE ENGLISH NAME, WHICH IS HARRY.
This was the English name his father gave him, and at that time Singapore Kapo and Malaysia were still British territory.
On the first day of their meeting, Leader Li insisted that Abel call him by his English name.
And he himself has always called Mr. Smith to Abel.
"It would be great if I could."
Leader Li looked surprised, "The new Jiapo Stock Exchange also wants to experience the happy feeling of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange." ”
The financial services industry in this small area of Xinjiapo is doing very well.
The new Jiapo Stock Exchange is second only to Tokyo, Hong Kong Island, and Magic City in Asia, ranking fourth.
In this era, it can occasionally surpass the magic capital and rank third, which can already be called an international financial city.
Seeing Leader Li like this, Abel groaned, and then replied:
"It's not impossible...... Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, Harry, you arrange for your media to interview me. However, I can't guarantee that the KOSPI index of Xinjiapo will rise as well as the Hang Seng Index. I still insist that the Hang Seng Index is not my fault. ”
Since there is a stock market, financial development is not bad.
Of course, Xinjiapo also has its stock market index, which is called FTSE Xinjiapo Index in Chinese, or FTSE Strait Index.
The model is basically the same as that of stock indices in other countries.
Leader Lee was a little disappointed, he wanted the kind of public televised speech that Abel wanted.
In that case, it would look much more grand than Abel's speech on Hong Kong Island.
can let Xinjiapo overpower Hong Kong Island in this area.
And this has always been what Boss Li has insisted on doing - yes, it is to overpower Hong Kong Island!
As the leader of Xinjiapo, Boss Li has always understood.
In Southeast Asia, the biggest competitor of New Kapo is Hong Kong Island.
The problem is that compared to Hong Kong Island, Xinjiapo is far inferior in many ways.
The area is not as large as that of a family, the population is not as large as that of a family, and the backers behind it are not as strong as those of others.
It can be said that except for a strait, in terms of natural conditions, there is no place in Xinjiapo that can compare with Hong Kong Island.
Even with the addition of the strait, Xinjiapo is no match for Hong Kong Island.
Because of the backing of Xiangjiang, it has one of the largest market markets in the world.
That market is just too big.
It's bigger than Malaysia, and even the whole of Southeast Asia combined.
Hong Kong Island businessmen are not only free from discrimination and exclusion.
On the contrary, it has been welcomed for a long time.
On the contrary, Xinjiapo merchants are not welcome to go anywhere except in Xinjiapo......
In this way, Xinjiapo can develop almost the same as Hong Kong Island.
Tut-tut......
Media interviews are better than none.
Thinking like this, Leader Lee smiled and began to thank Kiabel.
We chatted for a while longer, around eight o'clock in the evening.
Leader Li stood up very conspicuously, smiled at Abel and said:
"Thank you very much, Mr. Smith, for your dinner, sorry."
"You're welcome. On the contrary, I would like to thank Harry for your hospitality. The next time you go to the United States, you are welcome to Texas or New York. Oh, and Los Angeles too. In my place, I will treat you well, just as you do now. ”
"No problem." Leader Lee smiled very happily.
At the same time, I was reciting the names of these three places in my heart.
Texas, New York, Los Angeles.
Sure enough, these places are the places where he has the most influence.
Thinking like this, Leader Li smiled and left.
He didn't look at Chen Xiuli and Guo Feili again during the whole process.
But it put more pressure on them.
Because at this time, they already know who the "distinguished guest" of Xinjiapo is.
It's actually Abel Smith, the richest man in the world from the United States!
No wonder I seem to have seen him somewhere, in newspapers and in all sorts of tall magazines, his picture often appeared.
Chen Xiuli still remembers the first few times she saw it, and she was shocked by his photos.
She thought it was from Hollywood, some new super handsome guy, super ball grass.
In the end, he was the richest man in the world, the super-rich in the United States.
And now such a very handsome super-rich man has been chatting for so long with the heavenly leader Li in his heart in front of him.
At noon and in the afternoon, Chen Xiuli, who was still indignant in her heart, was already numb in her heart at this time.
Just when Chen Xiuli was in a nervous mood, not long after Leader Li disappeared.
She saw a strong foreignwoman possessing Abel and whispering something in Abel's ear.
Abel nodded, and then his gaze shifted to her and Guo Feili.
"You weren't forced, were you? If anyone forces you, tell me. I'll help you and let you go. ”
I saw him look at himself and say this to himself.
Chen Xiuli's mood was tense, and she wanted to answer.
Before she could speak, she heard Guo Feili, who was a little out of shape just now, next to her, whispered to Abel:
"No, sir...... We all volunteer. ”
"You promise? This is my last chance for you. ”
"I promise, at least I make sure I'm voluntary."
After hearing Guo Feili's answer, Abel's eyes fell on him.
Chen Xiuli thought to herself, what if it was involuntary?
Who would dare not be willing to go into it?
She worked hard to perform her acting skills, trying to make herself appear obedient and gentle, like a man to show her maximum awaitment.
"Yes, sir, I also volunteered......"
The voice is soft and greasy.
is so tired that Chen Xiuli doubts, is this really her own voice?
Sounds like too much!
Abel nodded in satisfaction, and then said with a smile:
"Well, I just had a couple of clothes ready. You go down and change, and we'll meet later. ”
Of course, Guo Feili and Chen Xiuli can only be.
Then, two hours later, they put on the costumes of the two female characters in the TV series they participated in filming in the mainland not long ago.
Dressed in costumes, they appeared in front of Abel, who had just come out of the safe house and had also changed his clothes.
With them, there is also Lin Xiangping, who has just finished filming "Baolian Lantern".
All three of them were wearing costumes from their respective plays, and they also noticed that Abel opposite was also wearing costumes.
Just an American, dressed in ancient Chinese clothing. No matter how handsome he is, he still looks a little nondescript.
While they were nervous, they heard him say:
"From now on, don't take me for Abel Smith. You are going to take me for ...... Well, let's be Xie Xun and Yang Jian. ”
They were even more surprised.
Because Abel is no longer speaking English this time.
Rather, it is their mother tongue, known as the Chinese language of Chinese in Southeast Asia.
Then, then Xie Xun/Yang Jian pounced on Yin Susu, Xiao Zhao and Lilac......
In their screams.
Abel happily experienced his childhood.
