Chapter 926 The Top Ten Richest Businessmen

A few days later.

Liu Tao set off for Jakarta.

This time he rarely went abroad, but he was going to attend the China-ASEAN Economic and Trade Joint Committee meeting.

This China-ASEAN Economic and Trade Joint Committee meeting was held in Jakarta, Indonesia. Jakarta is the capital and largest city of Indonesia, and also the largest city in Southeast Asia, located on the northwest coast of Java Island.

This is Liu Tao's first time in Jakarta, and also his first time in Indonesia.

In the hotel suite, Liu Tao looked down at Jakarta, which is the economic center of Indonesia and gathers most of Indonesia's wealth and elites.

If the Panshan Group has the smallest influence in Southeast Asia, Annan is the first, followed by Indonesia.

In recent years, the Panshan Group has also been expanding its trade in Indonesia, and its exchanges with the Chinese in Indonesia have been continuously strengthened. It has supported several Chinese families, all of which have armed forces.

This is also the effective strategy of the Panshan Group, which is to support the Chinese, enhance the strength of the Chinese, and increase the armed forces of the Chinese for self-protection.

Liu Tao checked the time and changed his clothes. About fifteen minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Liu Tao said in a deep voice.

Then, the door opened and a middle-aged man came in, "Mr. Liu, the guests are here!"

"Fuxing, bring the guests in." Liu Tao smiled faintly.

This middle-aged man is called 'Ye Fuxing'. He was born in an extraordinary family. He came to Jakarta eight years ago. After unremitting efforts, he finally became the head of Panshan Group in Indonesia.

Ye Fuxing said: "Okay, Mr. Liu!"

After Ye Fuxing went out, he soon brought ten people in. These people were old and middle-aged, and the age difference was very large.

"Everyone, this is our Panshan Group's general manager, Mr. Liu Tao!" Ye Fuxing introduced.

These people hurriedly said: "Hello, Mr. Liu, welcome to Jakarta!"

"Fuxing, introduce these Chinese heroes to me!" Liu Tao smiled.

"Okay! Mr. Liu, this is the richest man in Indonesia, Mr. Lin Shaoliang!" Ye Fuxing introduced the first old man.

Liu Tao took the initiative to shake hands with the old man: "Mr. Lin, I have heard of your name for a long time!"

Lin Shaoliang, who has been the richest man in Indonesia for many years, is a legend in Indonesia. He was originally born in a peasant family and sailed to Indonesia. After Indonesia's independence, Lin Shaoliang moved his company to Jakarta, and successively founded a peanut oil factory, a soap factory, a textile factory, a tire factory, and a bicycle parts factory. He also established trade relations with Singapore and Hong Kong, quickly diversified and scaled up his business, and in 1957, with the help of Thai financial giant Chen Bicheng, he founded the Central Asia Bank of Indonesia. By 1967, Lin Shaoliang had established a large enterprise group in Indonesia that combines industry, commerce, and finance, and became a giant in the Indonesian business community.

Lin Shaoliang has many titles, including "cement king", "real estate king", "financial king", "bank king", "trade king", etc.

To date, Sanlin, founded by Lin Shaoliang, has more than 600 companies in Indonesia and dozens of countries and regions, with businesses covering more than 70 industries, total assets exceeding US$20 billion, and annual revenue of nearly US$25 billion.

What is commendable is that Lin Shaoliang has actively returned to his hometown to invest in construction in the past decade, and has also led Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia to return to their motherland to invest in factories and engage in charity.

So far, Lin Shaoliang has invested at least hundreds of millions of RMB in building schools, water plants, and roads in Fujian Province, and invested nearly 1 billion RMB in building factories.

When Panshan Group entered Indonesia, the first person it contacted was Lin Shaoliang, and the two sides have had cooperation for more than ten years.

"Hello, Mr. Liu!" Lin Shaoliang was very surprised. He did not expect Liu Tao to be so young.

Ye Fuxing introduced the second old man: "This is Mr. Huang Yicong. Like Mr. Lin Shaoliang, Mr. Huang Yicong is from Fujian Province. Mr. Lin Shaoliang is from Fuqing, Fujian Province, and Mr. Huang Yicong's ancestral home is in Licheng."

Liu Tao naturally knew the details of this old man, and his life was rich and wonderful.

At the age of 7, Huang Yicong followed his mother to Sulawesi, Indonesia to reunite with his father who was working hard there. After the Japanese occupied Indonesia in 1942, Huang Yicong, who was still in high school, was forced to drop out of school and started a business by reselling candies and bread from street to street. Through this step-by-step struggle, he successively opened a grocery store, a bread and biscuit workshop, and purchased coconuts to process coconuts. In less than 10 years, he became famous. In 1960, he had accumulated a lot of wealth and moved to Jakarta and founded the "Golden Light Company". The first core business he developed was edible oil and palm planting. By 1980, he was already the "edible oil" king of Indonesia. After accumulating capital in the edible oil business, he entered the field of pulp production and papermaking. By 1990, his papermaking industry was second to none in Indonesia and promoted papermaking to become a major industry in Indonesia.

Compared with other Indonesian consortiums, Huang Yicong has a closer connection with Huaxia. As early as after the Bandung Conference, he followed the advice of his leaders and sent his children to study in Huaxia. All his children finished college in famous Huaxia schools.

Huang Yicong is also the Indonesian Chinese entrepreneur with the largest investment in Huaxia. His two sons have been in the Huaxia business community for more than ten years.

Under the introduction of Ye Fuxing, Liu Tao shook hands with these ten Chinese tycoons one by one.

Liu Tao was quite incredible in his heart. The ancestral home of these ten Chinese tycoons was actually from Fujian Province.

Liu Tao talked with them about the cooperation between the two sides in the past ten years and the future cooperation.

Then after drinking a few cups of tea, Liu Tao changed his tone and pointed directly to their biggest weakness.

There are many wealthy Chinese businessmen in Indonesia. They are all very rich, but they have a big weakness, that is, their armed forces are weak and their political status is very low. Once they face violence, they will appear weak.

These wealthy businessmen are just like children walking in the downtown area with gold bricks. Who wouldn't be envious? Who doesn't want to take their wealth for themselves.

"Mr. Liu, is this too much of a worry? I have a good relationship with him, and he has never expressed such thoughts." Lin Shaoliang frowned. They are good friends and have an extraordinary relationship. "And we have about 20,000 armed forces, which is enough to protect ourselves."

"Yes, now the society is stable, who dares to risk the world's disapproval." Others didn't believe it at all, thinking that Liu Tao's words were too alarmist.

Liu Tao smiled faintly and said, "I have my reasons for saying this."

"As the saying goes, a man without long-term plans will have immediate worries. Why don't you expand your armed forces to be prepared for an emergency? After all, it's better to be prepared for an emergency than to be prepared for an emergency." Liu Tao was completely well-intentioned.

"Do you really have to wait until the incident happens and then you can only watch and regret it in your heart?" Liu Tao said, "If that day really happens, you will at least have the power to protect yourself, and you can even occupy the land and become the king!"

This sounds incredible, but the facts prove that it will really happen.

It is estimated that it will happen in this life with a high probability.

So he only hopes that the tragedy will not happen, and that he can seize the opportunity so that the painful lesson of the Chinese will not be repeated!
