"I will give the order." Guo Dongyun thought for a while and said, "As for the other uncles, I will ask my father to help me inform them. They will not talk about it outside."
"Thank you. Sorry to trouble you." Li He said helplessly, "Being famous is like being fat! It's not easy! "
Being the richest man in China was hard, being the richest man in Asia was even harder, and being the richest man in the world was even harder!
In short, Second Brother Li's life was not easy!
If anyone were to spread the idea of "Great Harmony of the World" to him again, he would definitely slap them to death!
As long as he was still living under the red flag, he would be branded as a socialist citizen. It was impossible for him not to face the people from the Western society who had a sense of superiority!
"That sounds weird." Guo Dongyun could not understand Li He's mentality.
"You will understand in the future." Li He smiled and stood up. He wiped the water off his body, put on his clothes, and went back to his room to sleep.
The next morning, he had a simple breakfast, chatted with Guo Tang Wang for a while, then boarded the helicopter to return to Kuala Lumpur.
With the South China Morning Post's headline, the birth of the new richest man in Asia, the new richest man in China, did not shock the world, but at least within Asia, especially in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan!
However, not many people were willing to believe it. After all, the South China Morning Post was not a professional financial media. It was possible to spread false information!
A few days later, with the South China Morning Post publishing the photos of Li He with Guo Tang Wang, Huang Yicong, Huang Huizhong, Lin Shaoliang, and others, as well as his public speech, and Forbes and Fortune Magazine's investigation, Second Brother Li's position as Asia's richest man was confirmed!
Then, there was a huge uproar. A Chinese had become Asia's richest man, and he was from China. It was unbelievable!
In Asia, there was a Japanese who had occupied the throne of the world's richest man. Even though the Japanese economic bubble had burst, he had always been the richest man in Asia. He was Yoshiaki Tsutsumi!
No one would have thought that someone could easily replace him!
As a matter of fact, they had thought of many people who could replace Yoshiaki Tsutsumi. It was either Guo Tang Wang, Lin Shaoliang, or even Li He Chao. However, they had never thought that it would be a person named Li He, who they had never even heard of!
In some parts of Asia, there was a lot of discussion. But in China, other than some gossip magazines, there were very few reports about Li He.
This was in line with Li He's thoughts.
In fact, he was not too complacent. The truly powerful ones in this world were the large consortiums. Just in Japan and South Korea alone, there were old chaebols such as Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, Hyundai, and Samsung. Basically, they controlled trillions in wealth and had a certain influence on the political situation and even the policies of a country.
Before Li He became a true plutocrat, there was no way he could compete with him. No matter how much the accumulated wealth grew, it was still just a number.
The so-called wealth rankings were left for the new rich to play with. The real old chaebols were not dismissive of such things, but they were not at the same level.
Because the accompanying economic and trade delegation mainly participated in and witnessed the major business activities during the visit of the leaders, unless there were special arrangements, they usually did not participate in the political activities. Therefore, in order to fit in with the schedule of the leaders, the economic and trade delegation that Li He was part of, according to the previous plan, was arranged by the Chinese Embassy in Kuala Lumpur and other relevant economic and trade organizations while they were waiting for the leaders. During this time, he and the other members of the economic and trade delegation would inspect the local businesses and visit the cultural sites.
Occasionally, some entrepreneurs would hold tea parties, and he would also participate.
After getting familiar with everyone, he would also return the invitations.
Probably due to the restrictions on the travel of state-owned enterprises, the members of the China economic and trade delegation who arrived in advance stayed in a normal hotel not far from the China Embassy. When they received Li He's invitation to attend a banquet at Shangri-La, it was hard to tell if their eyes were filled with jealousy or envy.
The 500-square-meter large banquet hall was filled with nearly 200 people, including the economic and trade leaders of the Chinese enterprises and the embassy, and the entourage.
Of course, there were also people like Guo Tangwang, Peng Yunpeng, and others who came to support Li He.
"Mr. Wang, since Mr. Li has spoken, you and I will naturally not shirk. I am determined to win the Malaysian chemical project!" Peng Yunpeng and Sinopec's Mr. Wang toasted.
This was a negotiation between Li He and him, persuading Sinopec to participate!
Li He did not make a personal appearance. After all, his position as the richest man in Asia had not been warmed up yet. Furthermore, he was a man with a strong background. The weight of his words was naturally different from Peng Yunpeng, who had long been famous in Asia.
"I am afraid this needs to be studied." Wang Tao was a little hesitant. "If it is a domestic project, I can immediately decide, but in Malaysia, it is complicated."
Domestic investment in foreign countries was limited to building a TV factory in Thailand and other places, or introducing technology. But the chemical plant was difficult enough. Whether it was the technology or the funds, it was lacking.
Peng Yunpeng smiled and said, "Manager Wang, are you worried about the technology or the funds? We have the technology, and Mr. Li has the funds. It is a match made in heaven!"
"You also said that this was jointly finalized by the Malaysian and Japanese governments. I am afraid it will not be so easy to change it, right?" Wang Tao touched his almost bald head, trying to find a way out of this embarrassing situation.
"Mr. Wang, I think you have forgotten the purpose of our visit, right?" Li He reminded, "If we miss this opportunity, there will be no more in the future. Since the Malaysian government can negotiate with the Japanese government, why can't they negotiate with China?
What's more, their so-called finalization is only the first round of agreement, not the real contract.
It is still in the planning stage, and the plan cannot keep up with the changes. Why can't we intervene?
The most important thing is that this is the field you are good at. Although there is a gap in the technical level, I think through this project, it is also an opportunity to learn. "
He was determined to drag Sinopec down and single-mindedly cut off Fujita Chemical's source of income!
Seeing that the other party was still thinking, he did not say anything more.
Instead, he raised his glass to Ambassador Liu and the others in the embassy.
Ambassador Liu said, "The delegation will officially arrive tomorrow."
Li He asked, "Do we need to pick them up at the airport?"
"No need, but there is a China-Malaysia economic and trade forum. You must be there at that time."
"Understood, thank you."
