Chapter 2724 Fujian businessmen
When Li Zhongxin and Feng Banshan arrived at the airport, there was still about half an hour before the Shihongqu plane arrived. He saw that there was a VIP lounge at the airport, so he went directly to the VIP lounge with Feng Banshan to rest.
Li Zhongxin sat in the VIP lounge and began to figure out the identity of Shi Hongqu.
Li Zhongxin had absolutely no impression of Shi Hongqu. Later generations were a world of explosion in technology and Internet. As long as he was a world-class celebrity or a celebrity on the Chinese rich list, there was no such person.
What exactly does this person do, what kind of existence he looks like, why did the boss introduce him to do such a thing together!
This Shihongqu is a businessman from Fujian Province, and Li Zhongxin began to think about it in his mind.
At this time, many of the merchants in Fujian were big businessmen, including deadbeats who smuggled. The Yuanhua Company was a giant and also had many unknown big smuggling merchants. On the coast of Guangdong and Fujian, they smuggled some things to the country, and their money was also made in a good fortune.
These are the kind of people who smuggle take advantage of the country. In addition, there should be many entrepreneurs at this time.
However, Li Zhongxin did not have much memory in this regard, nor did he specifically collect some information from Fujian Province.
However! Li Zhongxin knew that from ancient times to the present, many famous business gangs have emerged in the long river of history in China, such as the once glorious Shanxi merchants, Hui merchants, as well as the rising Zhejiang merchants, Chao merchants and Fujian merchants that have emerged in modern times!
At this time, China's most modern business group was definitely the Zhejiang businessmen across the country. Zhejiang businessmen really played an important role in China's modernization construction.
However, if the scope is expanded to the whole world, the influence and achievements of the Fujian business gang will definitely be above Zhejiang businessmen.
The most developed regions in China's foreign trade are coastal provinces and cities such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Fujian, but Guangdong and Fujian are the first to develop.
As the earliest city to conduct foreign trade, Quanzhou was an important trading port in ancient times, and most of Fujian merchants were engaged in foreign trade-related businesses.
Southeast Asia is the area where businessmen in Fujian are most frequently active. Now the famous wealthy businessmen in Southeast Asia are basically Chinese, and the main ones are from Fujian. Therefore, the person sent by the boss is definitely a relatively high-ranking boss in Fujian. If you have such a person in Southeast Asia, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Li Zhongxin vaguely remembers that before he was reborn, the most famous among Fujian businessmen in Southeast Asia was Guo Henian, who was known as the Asian sugar king. He is the richest man in Malaysia, with a personal net worth of up to 10 billion US dollars, and he can rank among the top 300 in the world.
This person's industry covers a wide range of industries, including feed, minerals, sugar, tourism, oil and other industries.
The reason why Li Zhongxin knew this person was because the Shangri-La Hotel, which Li Zhongxin knew well, was his industry, and the Golden Dragon Fish, which is very familiar to China, was also his company.
This man took over his father's company in his early years and came into contact with the sugar industry. He applied the futures knowledge and business management knowledge he learned during the British refugee period to his company's business. At its peak, the Kuo Henian family controlled 20% of the world's sugar trade and was called the Asian sugar king!
It can be said that most of the super rich people in Southeast Asia are from Fujian Province.
There is also a certain reason why Fujian has produced so many super rich people, and they are all in Southeast Asia.
Li Zhongxin heard from the Fujian old customers who were doing business in the past and talked about the reasons why Fujianese people developed well around the world.
Although Fujian Province is coastal, the terrain is not flat at all. The terrain of the province is mainly mountainous, and the hilly and mountainous area accounts for 90% of the total land area, so it is known as "eight mountains, one water and one part of the field". In the old era when agriculture was dominated by it, it was always poor because it was difficult to plant here, so local residents had to start going to sea to make a living. As the song they liked the most: "Three parts are destined to be, seven parts are determined by hard work."
Over time, it has also promoted the development of the southeast coastal shipbuilding industry. With the presence of ships, the further people can go.
Since the Tang Dynasty, the shipbuilding technology of Quanzhou, Fujian was the best in the country. In addition, China's frequent foreign exchanges in the Tang Dynasty, Quanzhou became an important trading port. By the Song and Yuan dynasties, Quanzhou had become a world-class port. Driven by many factors, Quanzhou became the starting point of the ancient Maritime Silk Road.
When Zheng He voyaged the West seven times, the most people in the fleet were Fujian people. These large groups of people followed the fleet to Southeast Asia, where they opened up farmland, did business, established Chinese schools, and improved infrastructure, becoming an important group of people in the local area. At the same time, some wealthy Chinese businessmen with strong economic strength emerged.
Secondly, there is historical reasons. The wars that have occurred many times in history have also affected the southeast coastal areas. In order to avoid the war, residents along the coast traveled across the ocean to escape from war, which is today Southeast Asia.
However, overseas Chinese are not as everyone imagined. They can make a lot of money and live a wealthy life. In fact, most Chinese are just working overseas, and choosing to immigrate was forced by life.
These Fujianese overseas have a strong clan awareness, and most of them take their relatives out one by one through relatives.
The wealthy Fujian businessmen at the Southeast Asian level basically traveled across the ocean around the 1930s and went to do business with their families. With these successful precedents, it attracted and led a large number of Fujianese who dared to venture and fight and went abroad, going out to explore, and opening up a world.
The more Li Zhongxin thought about it, the more he could feel the vision of the boss.
If you want to acquire a large number of high-quality assets and some industries in Southeast Asia, Li Zhongxin also knows that it will not be so smooth. Although Zhongxin Company is rich, it can spend a lot of money on Southeast Asia, whether these industries can be maintained is also a relatively big question.
If someone can help in the local area, it will be much easier. It will be useless to simply rely on money to open the way, or rely on the Chinese government to help stand out. If he wants to develop in Southeast Asia, what he needs most is actually some connections.
