Golden Lion Group is a famous Chinese enterprise in Malay and a famous steel company in Malay. It owns the largest joint venture steel plant in Malay.
It also owns paper manufacturing, office furniture, hardware retail and other industries.
The Jiayi Group Printing Factory mainly purchases paper from the Golden Lion Group, and since this person is not a member of the Nanyang Consortium, Li Jianhui designated the Golden Lion Group as the first allyable force of the Xin Jian Group in Malay.
Although he went to bed late last night, Li Jianhui did not sleep in because of his long-term habit. At nine o'clock, he met the Malay steel king who was less than 40 years old in the hotel reception room.
Zhong Tingsen, whose ancestral home is in the Chaoshan area, was born in Xingzhou and started business with his father at a young age. He started his own business in Indonesia and made good profits, and now he is the helmsman of the Golden Lion Group.
When it comes to the current wealth of Golden Lion Group, let alone comparing it with Xinjian, even the assets of Huangpu Shipping Group are much higher than those of Golden Lion Group.
According to the evaluation by the Xin Jian Department’s professional team, the current assets of the Zhong family are even lower than those of Li Jianhui’s brother-in-law Zhang Guangwen’s family.
However, Golden Lion Group has great potential, and because it owns the joint steel plant, it has a very high status in Malaysia. Li Jianhui also values this.
In order to show the sincerity of Xinjian Department, this time it brought a large number of orders to Golden Lion Group, not only the steel materials needed for the construction of Wheelock Plaza in Kuala Lumpur and Tanjung Pelepas Port, but also signed a contract with Golden Lion Group
After entering into a long-term office furniture purchase agreement, Xinjian office furniture will give priority to purchasing products from Golden Lion Group in the future.
Zhong Tingsen understood that it was not easy to get the benefits of Xin Jian's relationship. After Li Jianhui's meeting yesterday, he went to Cao Wenjin, chairman of the board of directors of Xiangjiang Wanbang Shipping, with whom he had a fairly good relationship, to learn some inside stories.
Zhong Tingsen is very self-aware. Although he still has some status in Malay and his strength is pretty good, there is still a big gap compared with the top families in Xiangjiang, and the Xin Jian family is even more powerful.
According to rumors, Li Jianhui's personal assets are close to US$5 billion, and the assets he controls are as high as tens of billions of US dollars.
Although the Golden Lion Group has developed rapidly in recent years under his leadership, the total assets of the Zhong family are less than 100 million US dollars.
He was naturally moved by the many benefits offered by Li Jianhui, but he still needed to understand what conditions Li Jianhui had.
Li Jianhui said with a smile: "Zhong Sheng doesn't have to worry, we just hope to increase cooperation with Golden Lion Group and promote common development of both parties.
The development of our Chinese-funded enterprises depends on our own efforts, and we also have to take into account possible suppression by the government. Development is not easy. I also hope that Chinese-funded enterprises in various places can strengthen cooperation, coordinate development, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.
Of course, we must also resolutely fight back against those families who disregard moral principles and national sentiments to ensure that our own interests are not violated."
Zhong Tingsen understood what Li Jianhui meant. It seemed that Xin Jianhui wanted to win over him and then deal with the Nanyang consortium that had problems with him, such as the Malaysian Guo family in Penang and the Lin family in Genting.
Speaking of which, Zhong Tingsen, Guo Henian and Lin Wutong are also acquaintances, but they rarely have any interactions in business.
As the Zhong family mainly sells steel and hardware, it does not have much conflict with the Nanyang Consortium industry.
However, as a person with a strong strategic vision, Zhong Tingsen will naturally enter the more popular industries such as real estate, hotels, and finance.
It's just that because of his lack of strength, he still needs to wait a little longer before he chooses to enter after he has enough capital.
If Li Jianhui wants to target the Nanyang Consortium, he needs to start from these industries. Because of some restrictions from the Singapore and Malaysia governments, the strong dragon of the Xin Jian Clan cannot overwhelm these local snakes without local allies.
If he didn't understand Xin Jian's relationship, he would be willing to cooperate with him.
However, some news he learned from Xiangjiang forced him to think carefully. According to rumors, Li Jianhui not only ignored his own interests at certain times, but also harmed everyone's interests, including his allies. Now many families in Xiangjiang have relations with Li Jianhui
There are some barriers.
If a person says that he should think that the Xin Jian Department may have conflicts of interest with him, but several people he is relatively familiar with say so, then there is a big problem.
As businessmen, they naturally prioritize interests. He does not agree with Li Jianhui's approach to housing prices in Hong Kong. It is too dangerous to form an alliance with Xin Jianhui, who may stand against the same industry at any time.
Zhong Tingsen said: "Li Sheng, I naturally hope to reach cooperation with your industry, but I think it is normal for companies to have some commercial friction.
As you said, it is not easy for our Chinese-funded enterprises to develop, especially those enterprises that already have good strength in the local area. They have been developed after countless hard work and sweat.
I also hope that everyone can regard peace as the most important thing, and if there are conflicts, you can sit down and negotiate. After all, we are all descendants of the Yanhuang Dynasty, and there are no conflicts that cannot be resolved.
At present, we Chinese do not have a high status in the world. This is when we need to unite. As long as we all unite as one, no force can stop the rise of our Chinese enterprises."
Li Jianhui felt that he had found the wrong person. This person seemed unwilling to form an alliance with the Xin Jian Clan, let alone go against the Nanyang Consortium.
Li Jianhui, who was deeply disappointed in his heart, spoke up: "What Zhong Sheng said is indeed true, but people do not harm tigers, and tigers can eat people's hearts. We treat others as family, but others treat us as outsiders and want to trample us under their feet.
Let us never turn over.
If we don't take some actions to fight back, I'm afraid these people will only think that we are easy to bully, and they will attack us more aggressively and unscrupulously."
Seeing that Li Jianhui had no intention of exposing the matter, Zhong Tingsen knew that this cooperation with Xin Jianhui would be difficult to achieve.
He spoke out: "Li Sheng, regarding the conflict between the Xinjian Clan and the Nanyang Consortium, our Golden Lion Group does not want to get involved. If your company believes in the quality of Golden Lion Group's products and is willing to cooperate with us, I will
Grateful.
If cooperation between the two parties is hindered because of my choice, then I can only express regret."
"No matter what Zhong Sheng's attitude is, what I said before will not change. The business cooperation mentioned before is still valid. When the construction of Kuala Lumpur Wheelock Plaza and Tanjong Pelepas Port starts, the two parties will sign a supply agreement.
time."
…
After Zhong Tingsen left, Chen Xinyi said: "Brother Jianhui, Zhong Tingsen is not willing to form an alliance with us, why did you still promise to cooperate with Golden Lion Group for both steel projects?"
Facing the girl's confusion, Li Jianhui said with a smile: "This is Malaysia, not Hong Kong. The Golden Lion Group's steel plant is jointly owned by the government, and the government is the largest shareholder, but the Zhong family is responsible for running it.
For our construction projects in Malaysia, if we don’t have enough steel from Golden Lion Group and purchase more expensive steel from Baodao, wouldn’t it be a loss of face for the Malaysian government?
As for the Zhong family, we can't move for the time being. This is related to our image. If the outside world thinks that we are not in alliance with us, they will be suppressed. Then the situation we will face in the future will be very difficult.
I believe that not all the heads of Chinese families in Malaysia will be like Chung Ting-sen. When these families develop and take over the Chung family’s market, they will have nothing to do with us.”
