~《》~ Chapter 473: Losing Face

"My ancestor has always been fond of horse racing. I have been with my ancestor since I was a child and listened to his teachings. I can barely count myself as one after hearing and seeing him." Li Zhang said with a smile.

As he said that, he picked up the match list that Fang Mingyuan had put aside. After looking at it for a few times, he pointed at the match list and said, "I'm optimistic..."

After naming four or five horses, he handed the race form to Fang Mingyuan and said, "If you bet on these horses, I believe that even if you don't make a big fortune, you will never lose money!"

Fang Mingyuan looked at it, but was noncommittal. He put the match list aside and started joking with Qing'er and Zheng Jiayi. Li Zhang and Xu Jiaxiang waited for a while, but Fang Mingyuan had no intention of buying a bet.

Li Zhang felt that his face was a bit embarrassing. He had been following his grandfather Li Yinshang for many years, and he thought he had some skills in horse racing. When he gave Fang Mingyuan "pointers" this time, he really meant it sincerely.

There was no discount, and this time when he came to Sha Tin Racecourse with Zheng Jiayi, he wanted to show off his skills in front of the beauty. Last night, he worked hard to read all the information about the horse racing that participated in today's competition.

As he said, even if you can't make a lot of money, at least you won't lose money!

Betting on horse racing is originally a matter of luck. After all, anything can happen on the racecourse. Even the world-renowned top horse racing cannot guarantee victory in every race. There are still many factors that affect horse performance.

Many Li Zhang felt that being able to do this far exceeded the vast majority of horse racing fans in the world. But looking at Fang Mingyuan’s appearance, he didn’t seem to appreciate it at all! In front of Zheng Jiayi, this made Li Zhang

What's the point of feeling?

Especially it sounded like this Fang Mingyuan was a mainlander from China, which made Li Zhang feel that his face had been disgraced!

Starlight Group is one of the largest private companies in Singapore. It owns shares in many companies in Singapore, including 15% of Singtel, Singapore's largest telecommunications company; and Jiade Real Estate, one of Asia's largest real estate companies.

10% of the shares; and 13% of DBS Bank, the largest bank in Singapore and one of the top banks in Southeast Asia! The total assets exceed 10 billion US dollars!

As the direct grandson of Li Yinshang, the head of such a group company, if nothing unexpected happens, most of the family property will fall on him in the future. Li Zhang usually attends gatherings of dignitaries in Singapore and Southeast Asian countries.

, everyone should give him some face!

When facing Qiu Xia, he was still able to maintain due respect, because first of all, Li Yinshang and Mr. Guo were equals, so after calculation, Yu Qiuxia was indeed a generation above him. More importantly,

In terms of total assets, the Kwok Shipping Group controlled by Mr. Guo is only above and not below the Starlight Group! Moreover, Mr. Guo has been a dominant player in the shipping industry in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia for many years. Although he is now semi-retired,

But with the old man's strength, Li Zhang really didn't dare to be rude in the face of autumn. Otherwise, if this matter spread to the ears of Mr. Guo and his own father, he would not get any good results!

Secondly, it is well known that Yu Qiuxia is the president of Kumho Film Group in Hong Kong. Not to mention the rapid development of Kumho Film Group in recent years, it has achieved a series of dazzling and unbelievable achievements, and its own assets are also turning over.

It has grown steadily. Although, because it is not a listed company, the outside world has no way of knowing its financial situation. However, many financial experts have learned from the publicly available investment information and box office information, as well as clues obtained from various channels.

, all believe that the total assets of Kumho Film Group may have exceeded 6 billion US dollars!

Of course, the rapid growth of assets is one aspect, but what makes Li Zhang even more afraid is the huge influence of Kumho Film Group! This can be seen from the incident of Koreans insulting China that broke out not long ago, and it can be seen that it is not easy to mess with!

But facing Fang Mingyuan, Li Zhang had no pressure in these aspects. Although Fang Mingyuan's uncle was the vice president of Kumho Film Group, how could the vice president and the president be on the same level?

Moreover, Li Zhang knew very well that the wealthy families in Hong Kong and the emerging families in the mainland had completely different backgrounds. No matter how considerable their wealth was, the emerging families in the mainland must obey the will of the officials! He did not think that Fang Mingyuan

The influence of his family on China can be compared with the influence of his own family on Singapore! You know, Li Yinshang is the nephew of the former ruling family of Singapore. Although that one has resigned from the post of prime minister, he is still the cabinet minister.

Qualifications, and his son is the most powerful contender to be the next Prime Minister of Singapore!

Li Zhang suppressed the anger in his chest and sat down. Xu Jiaxiang naturally found a seat and sat down.

"By the way, Mingyuan, it's my ***'s birthday in a few days. Grandpa asked me to ask you, are you going?" Zheng Jiayi said with a genuine smile.

"What day?" Fang Mingyuan was stunned and said.

"February 14th! Valentine's Day! It's easy to remember!" Zheng Jiayi said.

Fang Mingyuan thought about it and said: "Okay, if I still stay in Hong Kong by then, I will definitely go to pay birthdays to the old man!" Considering Zheng Yutong's current alliance with him, it would be okay if he didn't know. If he knew, he wouldn't go.

But that’s so rude!

"Aunt Qiu Xia, you will take Qing'er with you then!" Zheng Jiayi turned to Qiu Xia again and said.

Yu Qiuxia smiled sweetly, winked at her and said, "Of course, don't worry!" Zheng Jiayi, who understood, couldn't help but blush slightly.

With the sound of the gong at half past one, the crowd in the entire racecourse became excited, and today's horse racing officially began!

Although Fang Mingyuan had seen many horse racing scenes on TV in the past, he had to admit that the charm and passion of horse racing could not be truly experienced until the scene! Watching the starting gun go off, one horse after another

The horse is like a dragon emerging from the water and rushes to the finish line first. Although it only lasts a few minutes, people can fully feel the great vitality and appeal of horse racing! People watching the game cheer and cheer.

It's like an erupting volcano, deafening!

It has to be said that Li Zhang's eyesight is still very high. The horses he selected for the race all achieved the top three status in the competition, and one of them even won the championship on the spot! This made Li Zhang

I feel like my face is greatly improved.

"Mr. Fang, if you rush to place your bets now, it's still too late! Otherwise, if you want to experience it again, you have to go to the nightclub!" Li Zhang patted Fang Mingyuan on the shoulder and said with a genuine smile. But behind that smile, there was clearly

A bit proud, Fang Mingyuan frowned slightly! Unlike most people in the country today, Fang Mingyuan understands the real side of Singapore even more clearly thanks to the development of network information in the future!

It can be said that Singapore is the only country besides China that is dominated by Chinese. Therefore, many Chinese people have an inexplicable affinity for Singapore due to blood, and regard Singapore in a different light, even treating it as a distant relative. In addition, Singapore and China

There is no border between the two countries. There is no direct conflict of interest between the two countries. Moreover, Singapore and China not only share the same language but also use simplified Chinese characters. They should be familiar with both the West and China. Naturally, they are China's best advisers in implementing the policy of reform and opening up to the outside world.

And this can also bring extremely rich benefits to Singapore.

Therefore, both the Chinese government and the Chinese people are very enthusiastic about Singapore. They not only provide many preferential policies to Singapore, but also hire Singapore's leading figures to serve as national policy advisers to the Chinese government. They even put cross-strait talks on hold.

Coming to Singapore, this will undoubtedly enhance Singapore’s voice in Southeast Asia!

But how does Singapore treat China? Although they are a country where Chinese account for the vast majority of the total domestic population, Singapore is not so friendly to China! It is the only country in Southeast Asia, except for the last one, that did not become independent until 1984.

Apart from Brunei, the last country to establish diplomatic relations with China was after Indonesia restored diplomatic relations with China! It can be said that from the beginning of the Republic of China, Singapore has maintained a certain distance from China!

Fang Mingyuan can actually understand Singapore's attitude. After World War II, in Southeast Asia, although the Soviet Union had Vietnam as an ally, the United States was generally more powerful. As a small country, Singapore

, and is located on the Strait of Malacca, a major transportation route. Looking around, it can be said that they are all allies of the United States. At this time, approaching China is undoubtedly asking for trouble.

Moreover, after World War II and before China's reform and opening up, several large-scale massacres of Chinese occurred in Southeast Asia, with Indonesia and Vietnam being the most egregious. However, the Chinese government did not take any effective measures to stop the massacres.

happened, but the Chinese in Southeast Asia were the group of people who donated the most financial and material aid to China during the War of Resistance Against Japan. This makes Singaporeans a little chilling!

In this international environment, it is understandable for Singaporeans to draw a clear line with China in order to preserve themselves.

But after all, the two countries are people of the same clan and species, and China has always been tolerant and kind to Singapore. During the Southeast Asian financial crisis, China insisted on not devaluing its currency and helped Southeast Asian countries stabilize their currencies and domestic situations, which meant that it directly helped Singapore at critical moments.

Although Singapore's financial industry is on the right track compared to other countries in Southeast Asia, international financial speculators only attacked a little and then decided to give up. But at that time, the entire Southeast Asia was in mourning. If the situation could not be stabilized quickly,

And if it continues to deteriorate, Singapore will not be immune! The financial industry is one of Singapore's pillar industries, and China's sacrifice has brought about the safety of Singapore's financial industry!
