In the global business map, there is such an important force. They are hardworking and hardworking. They rely on the business wisdom of the East to build their own commercial buildings in other countries, and at the same time make their own contributions to the global economy and the business model of the world economy. They have a name that is the same as * * *, called Chinese business leaders.

Especially in some Southeast Asian countries, the rich list is also occupied by Chinese businessmen. For example, he used to be one of the top ten richest people in the world, former Indonesian richest man Lin Shaoliang, Thai richest man Xie Guomin and Philippine richest man SM Group founder Shi Zhicheng.

In Malaysia, there is a Chinese businessman who is called the richest man in Malaysia. With his own efforts, he has won a series of honorary titles such as "Hotel King" and "Asian Sugar King". He is Guo Henian, chairman of Kerry Group. Even Li Ka-shing, the richest Chinese, should call him Big Brother.

basically, Guo Henian walked in the elite all his life. In the 2 years, Guo's father's generation moved from Fuzhou, Fujian Province to Nanyang to make a living because of the war, and took refuge in a relative in Malaysia to start a grain and oil business. When Guo Henian was born, the Guo family had become a fairly wealthy family in Malaysia.

It can be said that Guo Henian had a good material foundation for his life since he was a child. When he was in his twenties, he took 1, Malaysian ringgit from his father and set up a company in Singapore, which was the beginning of his business. After returning to China the following year, he took over the burden of family business as the new head, and made the family business prosperous by his own intelligence.

Guo Henian is very interested in market futures because he has studied advanced management concepts in the UK. I learned that the sugar in Malaysia at that time had been imported for a long time, and there was no sugar refinery in China.

he saw this rare golden opportunity and invested heavily in establishing the first white sugar refinery in China. It was this major investment decision that made his career soar, gradually controlling 6% of the sugar market in Malaysia, and taking a step towards the "Asian sugar king".

in the 197s, Malaysia's economy fully recovered and entered a period of stable and rapid development. Good market economy conditions have promoted the rapid development of tourism, and Guo Henian, which has accumulated abundant funds in the sugar industry, has seen its infinite potential. Determined to diversify the industry, he took the lead in extending his tentacles to the hotel industry. He immediately invested RM 1 million to establish the first luxury hotel in Singapore-Shangri-La Hotel.

after its completion, the hotel has made great achievements and become one of the most profitable hotels in Singapore. Later, he successively built several Shangri-La hotels in Malaysia, Thailand, China, Hongkong and China, and his "Hotel Kingdom" territory was officially opened.

In terms of hotel management, he hired professional managers to manage, and the advanced hotel management system enabled his hotel occupancy rate to reach more than 8% during a period of economic downturn in 198. By April 212, Shangri-La hotels had opened 72 hotels around the world, including 34 in China. There are 45 under construction in the world, of which 28 are in China.

In fact, the most admirable thing is Guo Henian's large-scale investment in China in the 198s. Guo Henian realized that real estate was rising quietly at that time, which would be a huge cake in the future. First, he invested 5 million dollars to build the Beijing Trade Center. Now, the leased area of the whole international trade is close to 1.1 million square meters, and the annual rent alone can reach 3 billion.

Now Guo Henian is 95 years old, but he still has no plans to retire. He once told Guo Taiming, the boss of Foxconn, that he was an old man and gave birth to his youngest daughter, Guo Xiaoyan, at the age of 68. He now owns 54 Shangri-La hotels, 5 Coca-Cola canning plants and 45% of Arowana's edible oil in China. Today, his total valuation exceeds 2 billion RMB.

Li Ka-shing called him "Big Brother" in front of him. He was not retired at the age of 95, and now he is worth hundreds of billions. Guo Henian is also a legendary Chinese businessman.
