After two busy days, Li Guangyu and others finally attended the scheduled activities with the Malaysian government. In the next few days, Li Guangyu and others will inspect some markets and meet with local Chinese in Malaysia.
On the evening of April 6, Li Guangyu, Zheng Yutong, Cao Weide and He Youguang were invited by Robert Kuok to host a banquet at his Shangri-La Hotel. This time, famous Chinese families in Malaysia will attend.
When Li Guangyu and others were on their way to the hotel, the hotel banquet hall was already bustling with activity, and many well-known Malaysian leaders had already appeared here.
These people are already very familiar with each other and are now chatting about the guests who are coming. They have heard a lot about Li Guangyu over the years. The Li Group's industry in Malaysia is also growing, but apart from Robert Kuok
, other people have basically never dealt with Li Guangyu alone.
Lin Wutong, the founder and current chairman of Genting Group, and Li Guangyu had business relationships a few years ago. The paper for Xiangyu Group's printing factory has been purchased from Genting Group in recent years, bringing a large number of orders to their paper-making companies.
He had a great time cooperating with the Li Group.
What impressed him the most was that the Li Group never delayed payment for their group's goods. As long as the goods were received, the payment would be settled immediately, unlike some partners who often delayed for a period of time.
Zhong Tingsen, chairman of Golden Lion Group, said: "He Nian, you have been in Xiangjiang most of the time in the past few years. You should know Li Guangyu well. What is your impression of him?"
This time, Zhong Tingsen hopes to establish a cooperative relationship with the Lee Consortium, especially their subsidiary Bentley Group. His current main business is steel, and the Lee Consortium will establish a Taurus truck production base in Sanan, Selangor, Malaysia this time.
He hopes that his group can obtain orders from their group.
Moreover, he also received news that the government enterprise Proton Automobile Manufacturing Company is communicating with the Lee Group on the issue of jointly building a car production company. If this agreement is reached, Malaysia's automobile industry can be further formed, and the demand for steel in this area will increase.
The skyrocketing price is a huge benefit to his group.
Robert Kuok also knew that this time Li Guangyu and others brought many projects, many of which had interests in their group. Naturally, they hoped to get in touch with Li Guangyu and promote cooperation between the two companies.
His own cooperation with the Li Group has been deepening in recent years. In particular, many of his products have entered the Hengyu City Group and Watsons, which has caused the order volume of his companies to continue to rise. And he knows that the mainland market will also be in the future.
He opened it. At least these products sold by the Hengyu City Group have no problem entering the mainland.
As the king of Malaysia's grain, oil and sugar industry, Robert Kuok's products have entered the Hengyu City Group. Currently, wherever there is a Hengyu City store, his products are available. His products have expanded to South Korea, Japan, Taiwan,
The market in Hong Kong and several Southeast Asian countries has grown several times.
With Li Guangyu coming this time, Robert Kuok also hopes that the Malaysian Chinese family can maintain a good relationship with them, promote cooperation between the two families, and allow the Chinese family's industry to have a place in the world.
Robert Kuok and his family are the same as the Hong Kong Chinese family. Before they started to develop, they all faced a difficult environment. After decades of hardship, they finally defeated those former overlords and achieved their current status.
And this is indispensable for the unity and mutual help among their Chinese families, just like Xiangjiang. If these families had not been united for decades, how would they have the strength to compete with the four major foreign companies? It is precisely because of this experience that they can
I hope Chinese families everywhere can be more united.
With the growth of the industry and the globalization of the world economy, in the future each of their groups will have to go abroad and compete with major groups in the world. There is still a big gap between these groups and Europe and the United States. Coupled with the protectionism of various countries,
If they don't unite together, it will be difficult to compete with these groups.
Robert Kuok said: "Li Guangyu is still very young. Although he has been a influential figure in Asia and even the world for several years, he is only 22 years old today. Many people are at the age when they graduate from university. Li Guangyu has already mastered the skills of
With assets of tens of billions of dollars, I don’t need to go into details about my capabilities.”
"Li Guangyu and his Li Family Group are relatively lenient towards Chinese-owned families. In terms of cooperation, as long as the conditions are not much different, they will give priority to cooperation with Chinese families. In terms of cooperation, I think Wutong has also been deeply involved in cooperation in recent years.
I feel that their group payment is definitely the most convenient."
After Robert Kuok finished speaking, Lin Wutong said: "As long as we reach a formal cooperation agreement with the Lee Group, and as long as there are no problems with product quality, the Lee Group will generally not terminate the cooperation midway. Our Genting Group has cooperated with the Lee Group in the past few years.
The cooperation with its subsidiary Xiangyu Group is very pleasant, and if there are no special circumstances, I believe this cooperation will continue."
Of course, not everyone here wants to cooperate with Li Guangyu, there are also many competitors.
Even Lin Wutong's Genting Group and Li Guangyu have some competition. After all, Genting Group is also engaged in real estate, not to mention Robert Kuok. His Shangri-La Hotel also needs to compete with Peninsula Hotel and Li Guangyu's Regal Hotel for the market.
Just like Chen Zhiyuan, who is currently preparing to acquire the Berjaya Group, once the acquisition of the Berjaya Group is completed, his industry will compete with the Lee Group's industries in multiple industries.
At present, the reason why he has the opportunity to acquire the Chenggong Group is because the Hengyu City Group, the Li family consortium, is developing business in Malaysia. This caused the Chenggong Group's funding problems and gave him the opportunity to acquire this group.
Success Group's two main businesses are real estate and retail, and the Li Group has entered the Malaysian market, especially the Hengyu City Group, which has completely defeated the retail market of Success Group.
Li Shenjing, the founder of ioi Group, has also begun to enter the real estate market in recent years. This time, the Li Group has bad intentions. They invested in many real estate groups at once, which will have a big impact on their interests. After all, the Malaysian market is
Here, if Li Guangyu and others take away part of the market, it means that they have lost part of the market.
And he is very clear about how many real estate groups the Li Group and the Heung Kong Group (referring to the shareholders behind the Heung Kong Bank, the outside world calls them collectively as the Xiangjiang Group, and the Li Group are listed separately) have in their hands, and each group is not weak in strength.
for his ioi group.
Once they see profits from this development, these real estate groups will definitely swarm in and carry out a large number of developments here, and then the market competition pressure will be great.
Cai Junxiong, the founder of Cosway Group, is also a rival of the Li Group. His group is engaged in retail. Fortunately, their group is a brand discount store. It is not as stressful as the Chenggong Group, and its current business is pretty good.
No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, they still welcome the arrival of Li Guangyu and others on the surface, because they also hope that their group will enter the market in Greater China, where they will go and grab their market.
