The story is far more crazy and exaggerated than the movie.
The protagonist of this true story is the financial backer behind "The Wolf of Wall Street". He is also the Chinese tycoon Jho Low who has tens of billions of assets at the age of 30, and can even be said to be as rich as anyone in the country.
Speaking of Low Taek Jho, he and his family were once able to dominate the sky with one hand in Malaysia. As early as the generation of Low Taek Jho’s grandfather, Liu Mingda, he and his family left Guangdong, my country, to make a living and “sailed to Southeast Asia”. ”, came to Malaysia to settle down.
At that time, due to the backward local economy and uncivilized ideas, the Chinese who went south quickly established a foothold in the local area and became the first group of people to become wealthy by virtue of their high cultural literacy and flexible economic acumen.

By the generation of Jho Low's father, Liu Fuping, they had obtained high returns through bold investments in the financial market, and the Liu family's wealth and status had also made a qualitative leap.
By the time Low Taek Jho was born, he had already become the "rich third generation" who was born with a "gold spoon" in his mouth. Liu Fuping has always been very concerned about Low Taek Jho's education and sent him to study abroad when he was very young.
When he was 16 years old, he spent a lot of money to send him to the famous Harrow School for further education.
Jho Low, who had seen the world since he was a child, also gave full play to his sociability and met many important partners in school.

Riza Aziz, her roommate and friend from college, came to the door.
The identity of Riza Aziz is not simple. He is the stepson of the then Vice President of Malaysia. It can be said that he has a lot of high-level insider information and exclusive resources. However, he has never made any achievements because he has no start-up capital and reliable partners.
Jho Low's return to the country allowed him to see an opportunity, so the two people with different thoughts quickly reached a consensus. Riza Aziz was responsible for providing government resources and inside information, while Jho Low was responsible for liaising with finance and business.
