Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 497 Chapter 499 [Chamber of Commerce]

Yeo Hiap Seng Group offices.

Sitting on the sofa were President Guo Puhuai, Vice President Han Bin, and Vice President Chen Haicheng, all listening attentively to their boss Luo Qihong's speech.

Although they are old employees of Yeo Hiap Seng Group, they have shallow roots and need the support of their boss to keep their positions.

Moreover, many of their subordinates are eyeing their positions and want to replace them and become the leaders of the group.

".Land in Singapore is becoming more and more expensive, labor costs are also gradually rising, and coupled with the dense population, the group's production base at Kallang Riverside will have to be moved sooner or later. There is no place in the country for our group to use as a production base." Luo Qihong said, "So the group's industries will begin to move to Malaysia, and find a suitable new base in the coastal area of ​​Johor Bahru."

In the previous life, after the Yeo Hiap Seng Group was acquired by the Huang Ting Fang family, the factory was moved to Johor Bahru, Malaysia, and the original site in Singapore was built into a combination of a commercial project, a technology park and a retail center.

Yeo Hiap Seng Group also owns a number of warehouses and commercial properties in Singapore, all of which are located in core areas and are worth a lot of money.

"Is the entire group moving to Malaysia?" Guo Puhuai looked embarrassed. He didn't want to leave Singapore.

"No, it's just the production factory. The group's R&D and brand management teams will remain in Singapore." Luo Qihong doesn't want to leave Singapore, the financial center.

"The group still has some scattered plots of land. Should they be sold to real estate companies?" asked Vice President Han Bin.

"No need. It is a wrong decision to sell the group's assets at a low price. You should first do a good job in the group's food production and sales. I will make arrangements for the rest." Luo Qihong did not intend to tell the whole plan so early.

Of course, such an obvious statement is bound to cause speculation among senior management and the outside world. It seems inevitable that Yeo Hiap Seng Group will develop its land on its own.

"Yes!" three senior executives responded one after another.

In fact, Yeung Hiap Seng still owns a large amount of land in Hong Kong, but he is not in a hurry to develop it.

Zhaoan Group has a heavy development task every year, and the family company does not have the development capabilities, and it can also wait for housing prices to skyrocket.

Luo Qihong planned to make tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars from these lands and fill his family's purse.

Once the production base is successfully transferred, he will start to open companies in mainland China, Thailand, South Korea, Japan, and even Europe and America to improve the food production supply chain.

In early June, a banquet hosted by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce was held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel on Orchard Road, inviting all Chinese businessmen in Singapore, including Luo Qihong.

The Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Singapore is very powerful. It has booked the entire Grand Hyatt Hotel and even rented out the nearby parking lots to provide space for Chinese vehicles. It even asked the Transport Department to help maintain traffic order.

Luo Qihong and Guan Jiahui attended the event, but Li Jiaxin did not want to attend because this was not her territory. If it was in Hong Kong, she might be interested.

"Sir, Madam, please show us your invitations." The waiter at the door came forward and asked.

The bodyguard immediately handed over the invitation, and the waiter saw that there was no problem with the invitation and respectfully made a gesture of invitation.

Of course the bodyguards couldn't go in and could only wait outside.

This was the first time Guan Jiahui attended such a large banquet, so she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Honey, will all the wealthy people in Singapore attend this banquet?"

Luo Qihong pondered for a moment and said, "Only Chinese businessmen were invited. Others should not be invited, but more than 9% of Singapore's wealthy people should be included."

The Chinese have always been very powerful. At least 7% of Southeast Asia's economic lifeline is monopolized by them. There are not many white people in Southeast Asia, so most of the rich people in Southeast Asia are Chinese, not to mention Singapore, which is dominated by Chinese.

Guan Jiahui was not confident enough. She was worried that people here would know that she was a mistress and not the real Mrs. Luo, so they would look down on her, isolate her, and eventually become the laughing stock of Singapore's upper class. Luo Qihong saw Guan Jiahui's concerns and comforted her, "Singapore has only been established for 20 to 30 years, and it is not much better than Hong Kong. As long as you recognize yourself, you will not be afraid of other people's opinions. You have a share of the family's property in Singapore. Those wives of wealthy families are just empty shells and are not as rich as you."

After hearing what Luo Qihong said, she felt a little relieved. In Hong Kong, the wealthy families also value wealth and power, and few people care about one's real identity.

"Mr. Luo, welcome, welcome! Is this Mrs. Luo?" Huang Zuyao walked over slowly with a smile, followed by his son Huang Yizon.

"Jiahui, this is Mr. Huang Zuoyao, the chairman of United Overseas Bank, and that is his son Mr. Huang Yizhong. They are the most powerful financiers in Singapore." Luo Qihong turned his head and said to Guan Jiahui.

It would be inappropriate to admit that she was Mrs. Luo, but not admitting it would hurt Guan Jiahui's feelings. It would be better to skip it and choose to default, letting the person in front of you guess.

"Hello! I am Guan Jiahui." Guan Jiahui nodded to Huang Zuoyao and Huang Yizong.

Huang Zuyao has sent people to Hong Kong to find out Luo Qihong's background and knows Luo Qihong's wealth in Hong Kong. What worries him is that Luo Qihong's overseas investments are difficult to find out. Data shows that the overseas assets are no less than the total assets in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Luo, you are too kind. I am not the most powerful financier in Singapore, but someone else. I am just a small banker," Huang Zuoyao said modestly.

"Haha!! Mr. Huang is too modest. In Southeast Asia, who doesn't know United Overseas Bank?" said Luo Qihong.

While the four people were chatting, many eyes were cast on Luo Qihong and his wife. Naturally, there was something to talk about with these unfamiliar faces.

"What are the origins of the man and woman chatting with Mr. Huang? Mr. Huang was so polite to them."

"Didn't you read the newspaper? That man is Luo Qihong, the boss of Hengan Investment Company. He just acquired the Yeo Hiap Seng Group. I heard that he has tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in assets in Hong Kong."

"So it's him. That woman should be his wife. She's so beautiful, like an exquisite doll."

"His wife is not this woman. She should be a lover. However, she dared to bring him out. She must be recognized by the family."

Soon, Qiu Deba, Huang Tingfang, Guo Lingcan and others gathered together.

Luo Qihong, the dragon that crossed the river, has successfully established a foothold in Singapore and can continue to expand his territory with his strong financial resources. If he does not build good relations, a situation of two tigers fighting each other may arise.

There is no way. Luo Qihong is too young and has a strong grasp of the financial market. The cash he holds is no less than that of a bank. It is really scary.

"The diamond ring on Mrs. Luo's hand should be no less than 6 carats, right?" asked the woman wearing a cheongsam and a white shawl.

Guan Jiahui was taken away by the families of those acquaintances and now sits with several women.

Guan Jiahui smiled politely, "Yes, it is 6 carats. My husband gave it to me. I heard it came from South Africa."

"Six carats should cost 6 Singapore dollars, right?" the woman said again, "Luo Sheng is so good to his wife that he doesn't even blink an eye at things worth hundreds of thousands of dollars."

"I heard that Mrs. Luo bought a lot of properties in Orchard Road a few days ago. Is it true?" another wealthy wife asked meaningfully.

She was a little too ostentatious when shopping in Orchard Road. Guan Jiahui and Li Jiaxin appeared together. It was a bit embarrassing to say that she was Mrs. Luo at this time.

After all, few wives are willing to accept mistresses in public, so it is already very generous of them not to make trouble directly.

"Yes, I acquired some properties, all of which are under my name. But these are nothing, I also have a private real estate company in Hong Kong." Guan Jiahui said with some guilt.
