After returning to the room, Chu Huan sat on the sofa and silently recalled the previous meeting with Lin Wutong.
There are still some things that Chu Huan can't figure out.
First of all, why does Lin Wutong want to see him?
Lin Wutong's status in Malaysia can be said to be among the top group of businessmen.
Every era and every country has its own tycoons, and Malaysia is no exception. There are always some people in this country that you need to pay attention to.
For example, Guo Henian is unusually low-key. At this time, he should still be doing family business, including sugar, rice, flour and other businesses. However, according to Chu Huan's memory, Guo Henian will set his sights on the futures market in London at this time.
, maybe it won’t take a few years for the title of ‘Sugar King’ to be called!
Or maybe the Lu You family has begun to feel lonely. Originally, Shaw Brothers could only rank second in the Xiangjiang film industry. At that time, Lu You's son Lu Yuntao's Film Industry Company was the boss of the Xiangjiang film industry. However, with Lu Yuntao's
He died in a plane crash in 1964.
This is what makes Shaw Brothers so powerful.
Yang Subin, who was in charge of Malaysia's municipal engineering at this time, later relied on Mahathir, the Prime Minister of Malaysia at that time, to become Malaysia's first independent power producer.
Except for the dead Lu Yuntao, both Guo Henian and Yang Subin are actually Lin Wutong's descendants.
But it was such a person who suddenly met me and gave me a big gift.
Chu Huan had no doubts about the information revealed by Lin Wutong, because Lin Wutong's status could not deceive him.
I can't understand this matter.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Chu Huan decided to put it aside and think about Zhang Mingyi's matter again.
The main reason why this master was not well-known in later generations was because he died too early, in the early 1980s. In addition, his business also collapsed at that time, so he
It is rarely known.
But in the 1970s and early 1980s, Zhang Mingyi was definitely one of the most influential business figures in Southeast Asia.
The most important thing is that while other Malaysian businessmen are still running their own businesses in Malaysia, Zhang Mingyi has already extended his business territory to Hong Kong.
In 1956, Zhang Mingyi founded Overseas Trust Bank in Hong Kong. The registered capital at that time was HK$6 million. In less than three years, Overseas Trust Bank became a foreign exchange bank authorized by the Hong Kong government.
In 1968, Overseas Trust Bank acquired the Zhou Xinian family's equity in Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. In October this year, Overseas Trust Bank will be listed in Hong Kong.
In the early 1980s, Overseas Trust Bank strengthened its development in Hong Kong, and successively acquired Dajie Property by issuing new shares, as well as another bank run by the Zhou Xinian family, Chinese Bank. Since then, Overseas Trust Bank has become a line of its own.
It has 3 licensed banks, 2 financial companies, and 62 branches in Xiangjiang.
In its heyday, its total assets exceeded RMB 12 billion and deposits exceeded RMB 30 billion. Second only to HSBC, Hang Seng became the third largest bank in Hong Kong!
Why would such a person care about me?
No, it cannot be said that he is thinking about him, but why is his son Zhang Chengzhong thinking about him?
Thinking about it again, Zhang Mingyi must have known that Zhang Chengzhong wanted to deal with him. In other words, although Zhang Mingyi did not do this, Zhang Mingyi was an insider.
Rounding things off, Zhang Mingyi must also be the mastermind behind the scenes!
Soon Chu Huan found the intersection between himself and Zhang Mingyi in his memory, or it could be said that the intersection between Chu Tianzhong and Zhang Mingyi.
Most of the businessmen in Xiangjiang have their own businesses in Southeast Asia. The commercial strategic significance of Southeast Asia at this time is just like the significance of domestic businessmen in Xiangjiang in the late 1990s and the beginning of the new century.
There is a large population here, various preferential business policies and a series of measures, attracting businessmen from Xiangjiang to invest here.
Jiahu Textile is no exception. They also have their own business territory in Southeast Asia. For example, the trading company now controlled by Chu Tianren is such a product.
This trading company was actually founded by Chu Huan's father, Chu Tianzhong.
Since we do business here, we naturally interact with people here.
Some people have become business partners, while others have become enemies because of some business competition.
Chu Tianzhong and Zhang Mingyi belong to the latter category!
"But it was only because of some previous business competition that Zhang Chengzhong did such a thing, and the situation designed by Zhang Chengzhong obviously wanted to have a good relationship with him?"
"No, no, at this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that I am a little transparent to Zhang Mingyi and his son. Why are they deliberately trying to have a good relationship with me?"
"There must be something here that I haven't thought of yet!"
Chu Huan sat there, thinking about all these things silently. If he couldn't understand the key, Chu Huan would always feel blocked and uncomfortable.
"Isn't everything settled? What are you still thinking about?"
Bao Tianming took a can of beer, sat next to Chu Huan, and asked curiously.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "There are just some things that I haven't figured out yet!"
"Don't push yourself too hard. You are much stronger now than before." Bao Tianming comforted with a smile.
Although Bao Tianming called Chu Huan Brother Huan at this time, Chu Huan could feel that Bao Tianming had been taking care of him as a younger brother.
"I know, it's just that it feels uncomfortable when things are not under my control." Chu Huan said with a smile.
Bao Tianming laughed and said: "So many things happen every day, how can you control them all?"
Chu Huan shook his head and said: "Of course we don't need things that have nothing to do with us, but now this matter is related to our safety. It's really a headache if we don't understand it!"
Bao Tianming wanted to continue to comfort Chu Huan. Chu Huan also understood what Bao Tianming meant and told him with a smile: "I understand, don't worry, I won't get into trouble!"
Bao Tianming nodded and said nothing more.
This mystery remained until Chu Huan went to bed, then he suddenly sat up and said happily: "I figured it out!"
Afterwards, Chu Huan quickly climbed up from the bed, came to the desk, lit the lamp, and found the paper and ballpoint pen on the desk!
The names of Zhang Mingyi, Zhang Chengzhong, Chu Tianxiao, Feng Yongfa, Guo Bingxiang and Shao Weiqiang were written on the paper.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Huan added Cao Wenjin's name.
Looking at the name on the paper, Chu Huan showed a satisfied smile. Although he could not confirm the specific matter, at least he had thought of several possibilities.
All that remains is to make a few phone calls tomorrow to confirm this matter.
The next day!
Chu Huan got up from bed early and first dialed Xiangjiang's phone number.
"Uncle, it's me!" Chu Huan said.
Cao Wenjin's voice came from the other side of the phone: "How are you handling your affairs in Malaysia?"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "The contract has been signed."
"Is there anything else you have to do to come to me so early?" Cao Wenjin's voice is always so quiet, but it can make people feel the power contained in it.
"That's right, I want to know, uncle, have you had any business dealings with the Zhang Mingyi family recently?" Chu Huan asked the question in his heart.
Cao Wenjin thought for a while and said: "Most of Zhang Mingyi's business is in the financial industry. Although Wanbang Shipping has been laying out the business territory in Southeast Asia, it has no business dealings with Zhang Mingyi's overseas trust bank."
After finishing speaking, Cao Wenjin asked: "Did something happen in Malaysia? I have a good relationship with Guo Henian. If anything happens, you can go to him for help?"
Chu Huan thanked him: "It's okay, I just wanted to ask. I will tell you the details after I get back!"
"good!"
After hanging up Cao Wenjin's call, Chu Huan dialed Feng Yongfa's number again.
When Feng Yongfa answered the phone, his voice sounded very tired, as if he had just fallen asleep. In fact, he had just fallen asleep not long ago.
There is a 15-hour time difference between Kuala Lumpur and Vancouver!
"Ah Huan, it's so late, why are you calling!"
Chu Huan then remembered the time difference between Kuala Lumpur and Vancouver, but didn't care. He just asked, "I want to ask, how is your relationship with Zhang Chengzhong from Malaysia?"
Feng Yongfa said: "We just know each other, but there is no connection!"
"What about Guo Bingxiang? How is his relationship with Zhang Chengzhong?" Chu Huan continued to ask.
It was impossible for Zhang Chengzhong to want to make friends with him for no reason, or to use that method, so Chu Huan concluded that Zhang Chengzhong must have something in his hands or his identity that he was thinking about.
Those who know part of his situation and are in this circle are basically the names that Chu Huan wrote down last night.
"He should be like me. We are not in the same circle, so we don't have too many interactions!" Feng Yongfa said in a daze.
"I understand, thank you, I'll treat you to dinner when you come back!" Chu Huan hung up the phone after saying that.
Feng Yongfa, who was far away in Vancouver, held the phone and smiled bitterly, "You hung up very quickly. Were you afraid that I would ask you about Tianhua Toys?"
After the wry smile, Feng Yongfa put down the phone and continued to sleep.
Since it is not the Cao family, Feng Yongfa and others, then there are only two of them left.
Chu Tianxiao, Shao Weiqiang!
Feng Yongfa just said that they and Zhang Chengzhong are not in the same circle, but Shao Weiqiang and Zhang Chengzhong are in the same circle.
Could it be that Shao Weiqiang found Zhang Chengzhong?
The possibility is not very high. If Shao Weiqiang does this kind of thing, he can do it himself. Moreover, if it is purely because of Shao Weiqiang, Zhang Chengzhong should not have the idea of befriending him.
Then only Chu Tianxiao is left!
Zhang Mingyi is interested in Jiahu Textile!
After layer by layer of analysis, Chu Huan finally made a correct judgment!
