Arowana edible oil belongs to Yihai Kerry Group, and its parent company, Singapore Fengyi Group, was established in 1991 and headquartered in Singapore.

in 2119, the operating income of fengyi group was us $42.6 billion, ranking 285th in the fortune 511 in 2121.

Shangri-La Hotel, which belongs to Shangri-La Group and is headquartered in Hong Kong, is known as one of the top ten well-known hotel groups in the world and is recognized as one of the best hotel holding and management companies in the world.

Shangri-La Group owns, operates and manages more than 111 hotels in 76 destinations around the world. There are 87 Shangri-La hotels, including 21 in China.

The founder of Arowana and Shangri-La Hotel is Guo Henian, which is synonymous with wealth and success.

Guo Henian is a Malaysian Chinese. His ancestral home is Guo Zhai Village, Gaishan Town, Cangshan District, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province. He is the richest man in Malaysia. In 2119, he ranked 114th in the Forbes Global Billionaires List, with a wealth of US$ 12.8 billion.

Guo Henian's success and achievements are inseparable from his philosophy of dealing with people.

first, keep a low profile.

Guo Henian is deeply influenced by Confucian culture, and keeps a low profile. Although he is the richest man, he never shows off his wealth, is not above himself, and is very frugal and grounded. Basically, he doesn't accept media interviews and rarely shows his face, so there is little news and fewer photos about him, which makes him very mysterious.

In 1986, Qunchuan Chen, former president of MCA, was tried in a Singapore court for his involvement in the new Pantech incident. In the hearing box, sat a middle-aged man with a sincere appearance.

When Guo Henian later released Qunchuan Chen on bail, people discovered that this middle-aged man was the famous Guo Henian.

Guo Henian stayed in the Shangri-La Hotel on business, so he stayed in an ordinary room, and his entourage kept quiet.

Even when my son gets married, he doesn't pay attention to ostentation and extravagance. Simply invite relatives and friends from both sides, and a wedding banquet will set 21 tables.

second, take advantage of the situation and don't let the partners suffer.

The reason why Guo Henian can develop an enterprise from an individual industrial and commercial household into a multinational group is inseparable from his idea of taking advantage of the situation and not letting partners suffer.

He has partners in every field of investment, and these partners have very rich resources in this field.

As a Chinese, why did Guo Henian become the richest man in Malaysia and remain as rich as an enemy for decades?

Although he is not keen on politics, he has many political friends, including Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir, Indonesian President Suharto and other politicians.

He and former Malaysian Prime Minister Razak Hussain Weng are classmates, both of whom studied at Raffles College in Singapore.

When Guo Henian was young, the first company was founded in Singapore, named Liwuke Company, and then the Singapore Wilmar International Group was established, and its headquarters was also established in Singapore. Why?

Because Guo Henian and Lee Kuan Yew, the founding father of Singapore, are also classmates, and they both study at Raffles College in Singapore.

Why are these politicians willing to help Guo Henian, or willing to take advantage of the situation to give him, because he can be willing to give up and not let his partners suffer.

In 1971, at the invitation of former Malaysian Finance Minister Chen Xiude, he came forward to set up Malaysia International Shipping Company. In the total capital of * * * 21 million yuan, the government accounts for 61%, Guo Henian accounts for 11%, and most of the money is raised by Guo Henian.

In order to enter the Hong Kong market, Guo Henian established Shangri-La Group, which included shares of Hong Kong film and television tycoon Run Run Run Shaw, and acquired Hong Kong TVB together with Run Run Run Run Run Shaw in the 1981s, and he served as the vice chairman of the board of directors, with Run Run Run Run Run Run Run as the chairman.

in the early 1981s, Shangri-La Group took a fancy to the mainland market and began to make a comprehensive layout. How to develop a strange market?

That is to find a partner. The partner they chose is Zhejiang Tourism Bureau, namely Zhejiang Tourism Group Co., Ltd.. Invested in the construction of Shangri-La Hotel, the first Shangri-La Hotel in China.

Shangri-La Hotel Group only owns 45% of the shares of Shangri-La, Hangzhou, and has since started its capital management in the Mainland.

Indonesian tycoon Huang Hongnian once told a story that he brought a bottle of good wine to Guo Henian for a drink. As a result, Guo Henian gave him two bottles of good wine after drinking.

In Guo Henian's Autobiography, Guo Henian said, "As long as you are modest, honest, not fraudulent, and don't take advantage of others' danger, there will be endless business in this world. Even if I have a lot of market information, I never fool around. I am a businessman who firmly believes in principles, so everyone likes me. If the profit is miscalculated, we will immediately return and never argue. "

In fact, it can be seen from Guo Henian's success that being a low-key person will make people jealous and bring a lot of unnecessary troubles. As the ancients said, "A tree wants to be quiet, but the wind will not stop" and "a beautiful tree will be destroyed when the wind blows". Even if you keep a low-key person, you will attract the envy of others, let alone being a high-key person.

The willingness in Confucian culture is more obvious in his career development. Every time he succeeds in his career, he gives more benefits to his partners by giving up first, and then he will gain the trust and help of his partners, take advantage of the situation, achieve success and finally achieve a win-win situation.
