My 1979

The last stop was Singapore. Under the introduction of Lin Shaoliang, Li He personally visited Singapore's current richest man, Qiu Teck Puat.

Khoo Teck Puat was born in Malaysia and his property is also in Malaysia, but he is a Singaporean national.

He is the founder of Maybank, the largest bank in Malaysia, and the largest individual shareholder of the British listed bank Standard Chartered Bank. He is also a well-known hotel industry giant in Southeast Asia. Guo Sugar King also has many hotel properties, but he can only be called Sugar King. , and he has never been able to take the position of hotel king because of the existence of this person.

In Southeast Asia, the only one who can be called the hotel king is Qiu Teck Puat.

He is best known for his investment in Standard Chartered Bank.

In 1986, when the British Lloyds Bank attempted to acquire Standard Chartered Bank in a hostile manner, Qiu Teck Puat joined forces with Hong Kong's Pao Yukang and Australia's Robert Home to defeat Lloyds with a bid of 1.3 billion pounds in the last few days. The bank acquired 37% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank and thus became the largest individual shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank.

After hearing this sentence and this incident, Li Laoer felt regretful!

Because all his funds at the time were spent on Japanese yen stock index futures, he couldn't spare much money and had no chance to get involved.

Of course, he hated it. Even if he had money, he might not have this opportunity. He knew this very well in his heart.

Without a knighthood like Pao Yukang and an influence like Qiu Teck-bat, the British government would not release his funds. It would be useless even if he had money!

Only now, with Guo Dongyun's influence in the UK, did he dare to cautiously test the waters in the UK!

Therefore, sometimes things like fame and so-called status must not be underestimated!

"Mr. Li, nice to meet you." Qiu Deba, who was in his seventies, personally greeted him at the door of his manor.

"Mr. Qiu, it's my honor to meet you." Li He said very Chen Ken, "I know your legend and I have always admired you."

"I dare not take it." Qiu Teck-ba laughed loudly, "Mr. Li only spent more than ten years to accumulate a net worth of tens of billions of dollars. It is really a formidable career. When I was your age, I was still working as a clerk in Overseas Chinese Bank. When I was ten years old, I scraped together and borrowed one million US dollars to establish Maybank. Although I had some achievements, I am still not even half as good as you, which is really shameful."

The people next to him were all his relatives, friends and their children. They all knew Qiu Deba, and it was amazing that he could come out to greet him in person, so they all came out out of curiosity to see who it was!

I just didn’t expect that the person in front of me would actually receive such praise from him!

And what does it mean to be less than half?

Is this modesty? But being modest is a bit too much!

There are not many people in Southeast Asia who can match Qiu Teck Pu's net worth!

Not to mention more than half of him!

Therefore, everyone's curiosity became more intense, and all the young ladies and young wives looked at Li He.

Li He said, "Mr. Qiu, you are trying to offend me."

The other party's southern Fujian accent was very strong, and Li He had to rely on Lin Shaoliang's occasional reminders to fully understand it.

"Don't be polite, everyone. Just standing at the door is nothing." Lin Shaoliang stepped forward to break the greetings between the two.

"Please come in." Qiu Deba stepped aside to make way and welcomed Li He and Lin Shaoliang into the living room.

No one sat on the main seat, but on both sides.

When Qiu Deba saw his family gathered around here, he frowned and said, "Maybe you don't know each other. I usually ask you to read books and newspapers, but you don't pay attention. This is Mr. Li He, the chairman of China Renewable Resources Group."

"Broad Investment Group!"

someone blurted out.

They have never heard of China Renewable Resources Group or anything like that. They know it.

"It turns out it was him and I didn't even have it."

"The richest man in Asia is so young! Is he thirty years old?"

"I don't even dare to recognize him in the newspaper."

"."

Many people were surprised and shocked.

Due to Qiu Deba's majesty, no one dared to shout loudly, but whispers could not be avoided.

"Okay, you guys have gotten to know each other, so go and do what you should be busy with." Qiu Deba was very unhappy.

"Please take care of me in the future." Li He stood up and cupped his hands towards the people next to him.

The people next to him returned the favor and slowly walked out of the living room. For a while, only Li He and the two old men were left.

"Mr. Li, please have some tea." Qiu Deba picked up the teacup first.

"Please." Although Li He didn't like black tea very much, he felt different when he drank it this time. The tea had aromas like mint and lily of the valley, and the taste was mellow. Although it was bitter, the aftertaste was sweet, so he praised it. He kept saying, "Good tea! Even the astringent taste is just right."

"Mr. Qiu never serves Sri Lankan Uva black tea to entertain guests easily." Lin Shaoliang put down the tea cup and said, "I am also proud of Mr. Li today. Normally I would rarely drink such good tea."

Qiu Deba pretended to be angry and said, "It's unconscionable to say that. Did you drink the tea I sent you that time? Besides, even if there is a lot of good tea at home, do you need to care about my small inventory?"

There are many places with tea trees in the world, but good tea is hard to find. People like them don't seek more, but only the essence. Finding good tea is what tea lovers long for.

Lin Shaoliang smiled and said, "I'm not kidding you anymore. I brought Mr. Li here this time because I want to discuss something with you."

"Oh?" As soon as he heard something serious, Qiu Deba straightened his body and listened carefully.

Lin Shaoliang said, "Mr. Li wants to buy your shares of Standard Chartered Bank."

"So it's this." Qiu Degen leaned back on the chair this time, pondered for a moment, smiled and said to Li He, "Mr. Li, I'm afraid this will disappoint you. I may not have such plans for the time being."

"Mr. Qiu, if you are going to sell anytime, please let me know in advance. I will definitely be the one who pays the highest price!" Li He didn't care whether he was disappointed or not. He didn't have high expectations in the first place.

If the other party is really willing to sell, that is even better, and it will definitely help Commerce Bank and Delta Bank to move towards a broader global market.

Qiu Deba said, "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Li. As I get older, I always worry about this and that. I am afraid that future generations will not be able to live up to expectations. How much cash is not enough to defeat me. I always have to leave some decent property and some dividends in the future, so as not to lose money." They’re starving in the streets.”

"Mr. Qiu is joking."

Since the other party has made his attitude clear, Li He will say no more.
