Carrying a roll of mats and holding an oceangoing eight-child boat ticket, he took off with his parents' words. "He is now an entrepreneur who has grown into a business with industries on five continents Not falling group ', the family children dominate the perennial richest multinational richest countries in Southeast Asia. The memoir of Lee Kuan Yew records such a story: At the beginning of the reform and opening up, Deng Xiaoping consulted with Lee Kuan Yew about the ways of the rich countries and Lee replied that if China can catch up, it will certainly do better than Singapore. He said: We Nanyang Chinese are ignorant and have no coolies in the fields. Offspring of fishermen and ancestors were unable to eat their meals in the mainland before they sacrificed their lives in the Nanyang. The gentry, officials and other elites remained in the Mainland. There is no reason for the mainland to engage in any problems. However, it is these Chinese who fostered and escaped from the Nanyang area in the past and took a flight through the jungles of wind and rain. Through the efforts of two or three generations, they achieved the largest and most successful overseas Chinese economy in Southeast Asia. Singapore giants Guo Fang Feng family is one of the most outstanding representatives. 
A roll of grass under the Nanyang Guo Fangfeng was born in a poor family in the countryside of Fujian province, engaged in cultivation with his parents since childhood, and only went to private school at the age of 10 to read a book of three years. In 1928, in order to avoid the disaster, looking for food to eat, Guo Fangfeng decided to go to the South Pacific battles .Small, he, with a roll of straw mats, spend 8 Ocean bought a 'half price tickets for children' to Singapore. Prior to his departure, his parents bite the bullet and hoping he could 'make a difference.' Shortly after the voyage, the plague was on the ship and when the ship sailed into the port of Singapore and passengers were not allowed to go ashore, they were on the boat for another two weeks before Guo Fangfeng embarked on the land in Singapore. His first job was to do odd jobs in the hardware store. In order to save money and finish his work at night, he laid his only home - the straw mat from Fujian on the floor and slept. , Organize the shop. Every morning, Guo Fangfeng had to walk to the wharf on foot and grab the cargo on board. At that time, Singapore exported more goods and few boats. If it could not catch up early, it would be a big accident. To grab the position, he often risked his life 'approaching the road', along the ship's hull dragging a thick rope climbed the cargo ship.Once, Guo Fangfeng fell from a height while climbing, lying more than a month to get up. Guo Fangfeng, who has always been working hard, always remembers his parents' achievement. "He felt that such a solution was not a solution, he persuaded the boss to go to the local night school after get off work and improve his cultural accomplishments. Since then, Guo Fangfeng not only familiar with the name and purpose of hardware stores operating various equipment, mastered the export trade operation procedures, but also learned to attract customers, contact business, step by step from the hired unskilled laborer promoted to general manager. After 13 years of wage earners, the fledgling Guo Fangfeng decided to set up their own home. In 1941, he invited Guo Fanglai and two other brothers to Singapore. The four co-founded a small store called 'Hong Leong' and specialized in building materials, hardware, paints and plastic equipment. After half a century of change, Hong Leong has become one of the largest and most successful companies in Asia. When the boss Guo Fangfeng, almost no mistakes made, its keen sense of smell and the vision of the times is legendary: during the Japanese occupation, he took out all the hoarding of military supplies, so that worth in the gun when the most soaring. At the end of the Second World War, he put all the funds into hardware and building materials. After the postwar economic recovery, Hong Leong's warehouse became a vault. The freighter leaving Singapore continued to give Guo Fangfeng the repayment of bank notes . Holding a large amount of banknotes, Guo Fangfeng thought: After the post-war reconstruction of all countries, the land is certainly valuable. Since 1947, he has aggressively purchased land in Singapore. By the 1970s, all these land plots appreciated by a hundredfold. , While making their own real estate, real estate will soon become a group of pillar industries. That was the era of Singapore's economy, with strong capital needs in all trades and industries. Guo Fangfeng also organized Hong Leong Co., Ltd. with strong capital to confront the international banking giant, adding another major undertaking to the Group. Into the 80's, Guo Fangfeng is "Forbes" selected one of the world's top ten Chinese entrepreneurs, Hong Leong's business have also been extended to manufacturing, hotels and other diverse areas, as the ubiquitous oligarchs in Singapore and Malaysia. In 1995, Guo Fangfeng passed away, but Hong Leong instead became a bigger multinational group from the Southeast Asian giants. The most important reason for this is that the second generation children of Guo Family have made their past and the elite operators have mushroomed. The children of Guo's four brothers all achieved remarkable achievements, most notably the eldest son of Guo Fangfeng, Guo Lingming, and the eldest son of Guo Fang-chen, the eldest brother of Guo Fangcan. The two brothers, one in Singapore and the other in Malaysia, Long development and expansion into a multi-field giants. The cash-strapped rich second generation Guo Ling-ming was Guo's 'successor to the' King's Order, "a standard second generation admired by outsiders. However, once he was in opposition to this identity because he did not enjoy the rich second generation until he reached middle age. When it comes to the history of his growth, Guo Lingming believes his father's rigorous training is a key factor in his success, saying that when graduating from college and returning to work, his father asked him to do something and never have the patience to tell him exactly what to do. Will not explain to him, only to get results with him, but if he has a slight slack, it will be accused. 'Only told me to follow his instructions. At that time, really think he is very unreasonable! He can shake a phone call, I do this to do that, immediately hang up. 10 minutes later and asked me to proceed How, if I say: I am busy doing something, he would say: Of course, what I told you to do is of more importance! "Guo Lingming recalled. Not only is the work demanding, life is pretty mean. At that time, Guo Lingming's task was to help the family-run financial companies develop.In order to grab customers with big banks, Guo Ling-ming, often selling insurance salesman, used all available means to run out to find customers and worked very hard. But his father paid only 150 US dollars a month for his salary, never give up, so that his life is stretched .Classical friends like to meet social activities, dignified Hong Leong's son, often because of the cash-strapped Encounter embarrassment. He said, do not think about money, want to work! We did not dividend, and I remember vividly that I complained to my father that he was a miser because my money was not enough, and he told me: as he said, Do not complain. ' Kuo Ling-ming, who did not stand the material and spiritual duality and did not fully understand his father's painstaking efforts, traveled to Penang, Malaysia once more to try to escape the clutches but soon recovered from his father's find. Now, in retrospect, my father was right, and I learned so much from him and followed him that I have today. "Later, Guo Ling-ming also used his father's education to educate the next generation to do hardship tutor. As a familial pioneer, Guo Lingming is still the second generation chief of the general public. In 1993, Guo Fangfeng still alive, Guo Lingming persuaded his father to 'urban development' as the core, vigorously develop the hotel industry .In the year, he spent huge sums will New Zealand 20 hotels, as well as London's Gloucester Hotel, JAL Hotel Hong Kong , Regent Hotel Kuala Lumpur and many other hotels 'incorporated' its. After formally serving as chairman of the group in 1995, Guo Lingming and Prince Arab jointly purchased the New York Plaza Hotel for 2.5 billion U.S. dollars and founded Millennium International Hotel Co., Ltd. to create an exclusive five-star hotel brand in Hong Kong. If we say that these investments are based on the family capital Guo Lingming reasonable play, then his subsequent move should be evidence of 'tiger father no dogs.' After these layouts were completed, Guo Lingming, a predictor of regional economic turmoil, took an anti-forefront attitude and took a prudent contraction strategy to start an internal fuss over risk management. In 1997, the Hong Kong financial crisis, Hong Leong, which took a defensive posture, not only Not as implicated as other big groups, on the contrary also maintained a lot of money. After the tide has faded, Guo Lingming, who has saved the strength, immediately shot the bargain-hunting end. In 1999, he sold nearly 5 billion yuan and acquired 28 Regal Hotels in one fell swoop, bringing the number of international luxury hotels in Hong Kong to over 100 and hailed as the "business hunter" at a low price. Today, Millennium Honglou, Hong Leong's affiliate, has grown into one of Asia's largest hospitality groups, with its number of hotels across Asia, Oceania, Europe and the United States, and is one of Asia's most sought-after global hotels. Mainland China, the well-known Millennium and M Hotel, are the group's subordinate brands. In addition, Guo Lingming is still further in the fields of trade and industry, etc. In mainland China, for example, Hong Leong has controlled and acquired a number of well-known enterprises including Xinfei Electric Appliance Co., Ltd., Yuchai Guangxi, and Hangzhou Li Shi. Not as famous as his father, Guo Lingming, has reached the assets of his father has never been accomplished - aspirations of Singapore's richest man. Over the years, despite the aging family of Southeast Asia, new strong one after another, but Guo Lingming never absent before the Singapore Rich List Top three. When asked what kind of traits a successful businessman must possess, in addition to reaffirming his father's business philosophy, he must have an ambitious vision of business and meet the needs of the times. By following the requirements of the situation and grasping the trend and pulse of the times, Appropriate business strategy, Guo Lingming also highlighted: Imagination, but this imagination must be realistic and operational, but also must be cost-conscious. Do not be too emotional business, everything is realistic, to calculate the return, serious study and then shot. Try, but also to make the worst plans and backup plans, there are ways back, must not be used to things. It is then important to have a good management team to do whatever it takes, execution is easy, but it is often the hardest to do, and good management teams have to do To act quickly, find business opportunities, and ensure completion. Love what he wants to do, be passionate and have a strong interest. He said: When setting goals, we must be prepared for failing to achieve our goals. When we are ready, we should bravely dream and love our goals. If you do not have passion, you will not have long-term commitment or creativity. Once you have Enthusiasm, it will go beyond their ability to think about how to enhance your work, to create more profits, ahead of competitors. A net transaction earned 2.9 billion US dollars Relatively cousin Guo Lingming, a two-year-old Guo Lingcan more mysterious, but also more legendary. Guo Lingcan, the eldest son of Guo Fang, the eldest brother in the Guo family, was called the "mysterious rich" and seldom showed his face before the public. Public opinion did not know much about it. Some commented that: Guo Ling-chan, a wealthy man of the South China Sea, was taken for granted as a matter of success, but in fact the whole family rose to a new height after the rise of Guo Ling-tsan. In 1963, Singapore broke away from independence in Malaysia and the four brothers in Guo Family disagreed on their management and decided to separate their families. Guo Fang came to Malaysia to develop, but followed the 'Hong Leong' brand. Hong Leong was a famous Singaporean company at that time, but there were not many industries that Guo Fang was entitled to. When Guo Lingcan entered family business, the so-called Malaysia Hong Leong Group had a total of one trading company and three small factories. A few years after returning from further studies in the UK, Guo Ling-chen, 29, took full responsibility for Hong Leong's business. 1972 to 1982, is Guo Lingchan Hong Le Malaysia made the reincarnation of the key 10 years. He first enlarged three small factories and then acquired a series of small factories to rapidly scale-up. In the early 1980s, its subsidiaries such as Hong Leong Industrial Co., Ltd., Pacific Industrial Co., Ltd. and Chien Industrial Co., Ltd. grew to become the only large-scale factories in Malaysia Industrial Manufacturing Group. During this period, Guo Lingcan business can be summarized into three core strategies: First, pay special attention to personnel, has always stressed the concept of 'intangible capital', every year to spend large sums of money to recruit professionals. Second, the means of production should be extended to capital goods such as trademarks, technologies and credit, and the direct enterprises should be required to emphasize their corporate culture and brand and to create the effect that Malaysian citizens learned of Hong Leong's industry and subconsciously felt quality assurance. Third, only the acquisition of the brink of bankruptcy, a serious shortage of capital of the enterprise, the industry is not limited, from manufacturing, leisure industry to go hunting, its investment is dazzling, but all the companies included in the final were his turnaround. In that year's Malaysia, the talent strategy, brand strategy rose to such a high degree of entrepreneurs, only one person Guo Lingcan. After his youth became famous, Guo Lingcan soon exposed his ambition .He studied finance, and he was also a financial, industrial and just a springboard for its cross-border capitalism. Malaysia's financial regulation is very strict. Since 1966, it has not issued a bank license yet and Guo Ling-chan has devoted his energy to a relaxed environment in Hong Kong. Over the years, he had been using the money earned by the industry to invest in the financial industry and kept testing the water. In 1982, Guo Ling-chan, an increasingly capitalist company, acquired the then-unknown Dao Heng Bank. In 1989, he acquired Hang Lung Bank, Bank merger. Dao Heng Bank was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 1993 and six years later, Downgrade became one of the constituent stocks of the Hang Seng Index and was among the top four banks in the Hang Seng Index. In 2001, Guo Lingcan is doing a hot deal so far. On April 11 of that year, major media outlets in Hong Kong received an urgent circular and DBS and Hong Leong held a joint press conference on the acquisition of Dao Heng Bank. As more than 100 reporters flocked to Admiralty Marriott Hotel and released At the meeting, the two sides announced: the Singapore Development Bank to 3.3 times net book value of assets, about 5.3 billion US dollars to buy Dao Heng Bank. However, the protagonist detonated the major media did not show up, his brother Guo Linghai became the day of Hong Leong Fang representatives.But a few hours later, the name of Guo Ling Chan occupied the headlines of major media.One day, he was the media As one of Hong Kong's top ten chaebol, and Li Ka-shing, Lee Shau Kee, Kuok Hok Nien tied. Removing the total investment in Dao Heng Bank, Guo Lingchan made more than 2.9 billion U.S. dollars in the deal, which shocked the sales of the city and made him a real capital predator. After that, Guo Ling-chan became the target of chasing Hong Kong investors, but he himself was extremely mysterious and did not speak to the public and the policy stipulated that more than 5% of shares should be compulsorily disclosed. Therefore, it was not clear to the public that Guo Lingchan's capital flow According to the information released by more than 5%, he later invested in Galaxy Macau and The Bank of East Asia once the news came out that the two companies' stocks were once very favorable. In the new century, the dominance of the four major territories of Hong Leong Financial, Real Estate, Ports and Industrials has been accomplished. The entire Hong Kong Monarchy owns a total of 12 listed companies in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong. Guo Lingchan's assets once exceeded that of cousin Guo Lingming. In order to make a distinction, he simply renamed the Hong Leong Malaysia Guoco Group. Renamed the demarcation line, Guo Lingcan not yet 'full.' In January 2008, he purchased a stake in the British Lancaster Group, and gradually increased to 74.5% stake in 2010, becoming the largest shareholder of the gaming group. But the leader in the UK gambling market is Lin Guotai, a Malaysian-owned Chinese who has fully acquired British Stanley Casino, the largest casino operator in the country. Following the style of Quemoy Quentin, who controlled the Rankun group, he bought another Gala Coral group for £ 250 million and plans to open 23 new UK casinos upon completion of the deal, He did his best when he entered the industry, becoming the largest casino owner in the country. Guo Lingcan also invested heavily in China. Many years ago, its subsidiaries invested more than 3 billion U.S. dollars in the real estate industry in China and had 2 million square meters of land with a continual increase in Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing and Tianjin and developed Dongzhimen Beijing Guosheng Center, Shanghai Guosheng Changfeng winds and other landmark buildings. So far, a roll of straw mats and 8 ocean-going Guo Guo under the management of the two generations set up a company that does not fall day after day on the five continents and has become a member of the political and economic circles in Southeast Asia. Far-reaching influence of the monster.
