Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

PS:

Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia with a high population density. It is the city with the most diverse language and population groups in Malaysia, and the metro area with the fastest population and economic growth in Malaysia.

Kuala Lumpur is also one of the main traditional gathering places for Chinese in Malaysia, mainly Cantonese, Hokkien and Hakka. around two.

Due to the issue of ancestry, Chinese natives in Kuala Lumpur generally use Cantonese as their daily social and business language, while Standard Chinese is generally used as a medium of communication with Chinese from non-Cantonese-speaking regions.

The distance between Kuala Lumpur and Star City is only more than 310 kilometers, which is very close. Xia Yu arrived in Kuala Lumpur in an hour by plane.

When we arrived, it was only 11:15 in the morning.

Because Xia Yu had previously ordered the employees of the company in Kuala Lumpur to post a greeting to the Li family, and he also received a positive reply.

Therefore, Xia Yu took a rest after lunch until more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and then drove to the Li family's manor.

The Li family's estate is not in the city, but in a giant rubber and oil palm plantation near Subang Jaya, on the southern outskirts of Kuala Lumpur.

The surname Li is not only a big surname in China, but also abroad. There are many powerful Li families. The Li family that Xia Yu visited, the contemporary owner is Li Laisheng, the famous "rubber king" in Southeast Asia.

The Li family's Kepong Group has a total of 220,000 acres of gum, palm oil and cocoa plantations. In terms of planting area alone, the estate owned by the Kepong Group ranks second in Malaysia after the British-owned Sime Darby Group.

But personally, Li Laisheng is number one!

It's just that Li Laisheng didn't run the plantation from the beginning. It can be said that he made a mistake, but he hit a golden road.

Li Laisheng's father is Li Mingxing, a famous miner in Ipoh, Malaysia. In his early years, Li Mingxing traveled from his hometown to Hainan to dig tin mines in Malaysia, and then his family moved to Ipoh, Malaysia. Because he is a Hakka people, he was appreciated by Yao Desheng, the "king of tin mines" from Malaysia in Pingyuan, Meizhou, and was given five acres of tin mines to operate.

With the Hakka people's perseverance and courage to start a business, Li Mingxing achieved success and became a famous miner in the Ipoh area.

And Li Mingxing has fourteen sons and nine daughters, and Li Laisheng is Li Mingxing's fourth son.

For the "second generation of mines" Li Laisheng, he originally planned to continue to expand the family business.

However, when Malaysia became independent in the 1950s, the British sold their rubber plantations one after another. At that time, Li Wansheng, the third brother of Li Laisheng, who was in charge of the Li family's business, also bought a rubber plantation. However, their family was not running a rubber plantation. , but thought that there were tin mines under the garden.

It's just that after several months of mining, no tin ore was mined. Disappointed, Li Wansheng handed over the rubber plantation to Li Laisheng to manage. Li Laisheng, who didn't know anything, relied on his ingenuity, hard work, and family funds. Plantations were continually acquired from the British.

For example, he bought the equity of Granny Plantation, controlled the Batu Kawan Plantation, provided equity transactions, and then controlled the Kepong Plantation in Kuala Lumpur.

Step by step, Li Lai became the famous "rubber king" in Southeast Asia. The family business also broke free from the shackles of the tin mine, and was brought to another peak by him. He also took over the head of the Li family from the third brother Li Wansheng. bit.

...

At about 2:52, Xia Yu arrived at the Li family's manor, and he received a grand welcome from the Li family.

Li Laisheng brought his eldest son Li Aixian, second son Li Xiaoxian and third son Li Shunxian to welcome Xia Yu's arrival.

"Mr. Xia, you are too polite to bring such an expensive gift here."

After letting the eldest son take the gift, Li Laisheng smiled kindly and shook hands with Xia Yu.

"It's just a little bit of care, it's not precious."

"Mr. Li, this is the first time I come to the door, and I am too embarrassed to enter the door empty-handed.

"

Xia Yu said jokingly, and quietly narrowed the distance between the two sides.

Li Laisheng flattered: "Haha, Mr. Xia is really joking. If you can step into the gate of my Li family, it will make my family flourish. This is the greatest gift."

"Quick, don't stand at the door, sit inside!"

"Please!"

...

After entering the room, there was another round of politeness. Xia Yu sat down on the sofa in the living room. Li Laisheng's three sons sat on the side sofa to accompany him. Li Laisheng introduced them to Xia Yu one by one, and then the eldest, Li Aixian, represented his father. Hand tea to Xia Yu.

After taking a sip of tea, Xia Yu said with admiration: "Mr. Li, on the way I came here, what I saw was endless rubber. It's really spectacular. I can't see such a spectacular scenery in Xiangjiang."

"Even in Xingcheng yesterday, although I saw a lot of rubber plantations, there is no way to compare it with your family. I heard that this plantation is only among the top of your family?"

Li Laisheng said humbly: "Mr. Xia Liao likes it, this plantation can be regarded as the largest one in our family. Mr. Xia has been in Hong Kong all the time. Hong Kong has a developed economy. Comparing Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong is like comparing a country to a city. There is no industry, so we can only engage in rubber and oil palm planting, Mr. Xia, you will get tired of watching it for a while."

"By the way, did Mr. Xia just come from Star City? I thought you came directly from Xiangjiang."

It was just a chat beforehand, but Li Laisheng changed the subject, and Xia Yu followed his words.

He chuckled and said, "The main reason is that my company in Star City has some matters for me to handle, and then I visited Mr. Qiu Deba by the way to discuss some cooperation matters."

Li Laisheng's heart moved, and he said calmly, "Has the cooperation between Mr. Xia and Qiu Depu gone smoothly? I'm old friends with Qiu Depu. If it's useful to me, I'm honored to have a connection. ."

Xia Yu pretended not to hear it, and smiled casually: "Thank you, Mr. Li. Mr. Qiu is very reasonable and generous. After I came to the door, I came home full of rewards."

Li Laisheng said with a smile, "Qiu Deba is indeed very generous. It's good that the two of you have settled the matter, congratulations!"

"thanks!"

Xia Yu smiled and thanked him.

Then, seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, he took the initiative to get to the point.

"Mr. Li, I am here this time mainly for two things, to deepen our cooperation."

"Mr. Xia, please speak!"

After Li Laisheng finished speaking, he looked at Xia Yu quietly.

Xia Yu smiled lightly and said softly: "The first thing is to fight for the detailed cooperation later, and let you know, it is about rubber and palm oil."

"I wonder if Mr. Li knows that the British Rolls-Royce Motors Group and Canada's Magna International are all customers of your family's company?"

Li Laisheng frowned. Of course, he knew that these two companies were major customers of Kepong Group, and the purchasing demand was also the fastest growing. Rolls-Royce Motor Company mainly purchased rubber, while Canada Magna International The company purchases both rubber and palm oil.

Aren't these two companies from the UK and Canada? Why did Xia Yu suddenly mention this?

After an unbelievable thought popped into his mind, Li Laisheng asked in surprise, "Mr. Xia, are these two companies your company?"

Xia Yufeng nodded lightly and admitted: "It's my company."

Li Laisheng took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, shook his head and praised: "I didn't expect that you are the real owner of the British Rolls-Royce Motors Group, Mr. Xia, your career is too big, and you are a role model for my Chinese. !"

Xia Yu smiled humbly, and then said: "Mr. Li, apart from these two companies that are expanding rapidly, my other companies, such as Tiangong Automobile Group, are already building factories, the chemical company has also set up a project, and the food company is also working on it. We plan to enter the grain and oil market.”

"These companies will have an increasing demand for rubber and palm oil. The rubber and palm oil produced by your family's Kepong Group are of very good quality and are very popular in the market, so I have to inform you in advance, I will feel more at ease when it expands.”

Li Laisheng knew that Xia Yu's words were self-deprecating and flattering, he said without hesitation: "Mr. Xia, don't worry, as long as you need it, I will supply the goods with all my strength, and I won't let you worry about it. !"

"Then thank you, Mr. Li!"

"It's still a rubber and palm oil thing, I still have some ideas on that."

Hearing what Xia Yu said, Li Laisheng, who was already very happy, lit up, and he was even more looking forward to it.

"Mr. Xia, please speak!"

Xia Yu smiled and said, "That's right, Mr. Li should know that I have a certain influence in the Hong Kong financial market."

Li Laisheng immediately touted: "Mr. Xia's words are too modest. Who doesn't know that you are the god of wealth and stock in Hong Kong. Even if it is placed in the whole of Southeast Asia, no one dares to call you number one in terms of influence."

Xia Yu smiled and continued: "In the banking, insurance and securities industries, I have achieved certain achievements, but in the futures field, I am still a lot worse, and to be honest, whether it is Hong Kong or Southeast Asia, the futures market Development is very slow, and rubber, palm oil, and palm are all commodities, and if there is a reasonable futures price as a guide, it can provide a great convenience for trading.”

"I'm already planning to get involved in futures trading in these areas, trying to create a platform that benefits plantation owners and buyers, enabling markets such as rubber, palm oil and palm to thrive."

"It is said that planting the plane trees will attract the phoenix."

"If you want to build such an influential platform, you need the support of Mr. Li, the 'rubber king'. I hope that when the platform is about to be built, you can give me your support!"

Li Laisheng applauded and responded: "Mr. Xia's feat is of great help to us. We have long hoped to have such a platform, but throughout Southeast Asia, there is no right track for rubber and palm oil futures. In the trading market, Hong Kong’s economy is prosperous. Although there is a futures market, there are no rubber and palm oil futures, mostly cotton, soybeans and grains.”

"Now that Mr. Xia can build such a platform, I absolutely support it. As long as you say a word, I will be a lobbyist for the plantation owners I know in Southeast Asia. I believe everyone will actively support this kind of thing!"

Li Laisheng also has an understanding of futures and knows the role of a rubber futures, palm oil futures and palm futures market with great influence.

The most basic is to provide hedging function, which can lock in profits and reduce risks.

Kepong Group can fully use the futures market hedging business. When the market price is favorable, it can establish a sell position in the futures market in advance; when the future products actually enter the market for sale, even if the market price has a downward trend that is not conducive to the enterprise . The Kepong Group can also make up for the "loss" of the drop in the spot sales price through the surplus of the futures position liquidation.

For example, Kepong Group, as a seller, must have a group of distributors below. In normal years, they will sell one ton of rubber for 10,000 yuan. Next year, if the year is bad, Kepong Group will not sell 10,000 yuan. Money will be lost. If you bite the bullet and ask the distributor to sell it for 10,000 yuan, the distributor will not be able to sell it, and the Kepong Group will lose money, and the distributor will also lose money.

If there is hedging, the market price is locked in. Kepong Group can follow the market price to greatly reduce the price, or even lower it, without worrying about loss, the seller is not in difficulty, he will survive, and the survival of the distributor is not stable customers? The same reason, the customers in the procurement process Maintenance is the same

Then there is the market management function.

Market management is not just price management, it can help companies stabilize the market, stabilize customer channels, and even expand the market.

If a Kepong Group's rubber can become the designated trading and delivery variety of the futures exchange, it will not only provide a stable sales channel for Jiadong Group, but also greatly enhance the market brand awareness of the company's products.

Of course there are disadvantages, but compared to the advantages, those disadvantages are negligible!

Therefore, for Xia Yu, a financial tycoon who is willing to do this, and who can judge that the success rate is very high, Li Laisheng of course raised his hands to show his support.
