The third son is not as good as the nephew. The 98-year-old father arowana is still waiting. Where will the 100 billion empire go?

Maybe you haven't stayed at Shangri-La Hotel or been to Beijing International Trade Center, but you must have used Arowana.

Arowana, with a market value of 350 billion, is the first share of grain and oil. This A-share listed company accounts for more than 40% of the national edible oil.

Arowana is even more likely to appear on the table than pork.

The company behind Arowana is called Yihai Kerry, which is a very China name. You guessed it. Strictly speaking, it is not a China enterprise.

Behind Yihai Kerry is Kerry Group, a large multinational company established in Hong Kong and owned by the Guo family. The core figure is a very low-key super-rich, neighbor of Li Ka-shing in Deep Water Bay: Guo Henian, the sugar king.

This old man, who has been the richest man in Malaysia for many years in a row, once again dominated the list with a net worth of $6,543.8+$0.22 billion this year. The Guo family was the first to set foot in the grain and oil business, and Arowana was the masterpiece.

Guo Jia has huge assets, involving many industries. As we all know, Shangri-La Hotel, Beijing International Trade Center and Kerry Center are all industries in Guo Jia, with a total market value of over 500 billion yuan.

Guo Henian's life is already perfect, and money has already become a number for him. I married two wives before and after, and my granddaughter is the same age as my youngest daughter.

Children and grandchildren are full, and the money is too much to spend a few lives. What regrets do you have in this life?

98-year-old Guo Henian still sticks to his job, and his life has entered the countdown, but the successor of Kerry Group has not yet been determined. He is one of the three sons? Or that dazzling new star nephew?

This sentence is a family motto written by Guo Henian's mother and laity Zheng Geru. Although she is a woman, Zheng Geru is the foundation of national prosperity. Without Zheng Geru, there would be no billion empires today.

Zheng Geru was born in a scholarly family, her father was a juren in the late Qing Dynasty, and she received a new education, which can be said to be a master of combining Chinese and Western.

When her father ordered her to come from Fujian to marry Guo who had never met before on 1920, the man who was seven years older than her was working on the Dongsheng of her fourth brother Guo Qinren.

But with excellent communication skills and smart mind, he has become the pillar of this store.

After marriage, Guo was busy spreading branches and leaves, and also began to fight for his own career. In the 1920s, he became a famous millionaire.

However, men change when they have money. Guo began to smoke cigarettes and play with women. Ge Zheng was very angry, but moved out of the house directly with the children. Guo, whose body was hollowed out, bid farewell to his wife and children on 1948.

So, how did Guo Henian rise?

Guo's health deteriorated year by year, and he gradually realized the crisis of Guo's family, so he invested 30 thousand dollars to support his third son to start a business in Singapore, which is the start-up capital of Kerry Group today.

Guo Henian, who has a business mind, soon became famous in Singapore. Unfortunately, it backfired. After the war broke out, Guo Henian had to fly away.

1957, Malaysia becomes independent.

Guo Henian realized that his chance had come. At this time, Malaysia is in a hurry and it is the best time to harvest wealth!

Guo Henian adheres to the principle of doing what he can, and has a deep understanding of sugar production. Facing the blank market of Malaysia, he gambled all his fortune, and unexpectedly, he also had the support of his mother.

Mother not only fully supported his choice, but also personally contacted the Guo family, twisted everyone's strength together and gave it to him.

In just over ten years, Guo Henian became the famous "Sugar King of Asia", and he occupied more than 80% of the Singaporean and Malaysian markets. Even in the international market, he firmly controlled the share of 10%.

Now Kerry Group's business is no longer limited to sugar industry. In addition to grain and oil business, the Guo family is also involved in real estate, logistics, shipping and other industries.

The well-known Beijing International Trade Center was built at a cost of US$ 500 million that year, and Shangri-La hotels, which are almost all over major cities in China, are also the property of the Guo family.

Time flies, 74 years have passed since Guo Henian 1947 started his business, and the young man at that time is now a 98-year-old mental old man.

Guo Henian has worked hard all his life, and he is still working hard. I think the only thing that makes centenarians unable to give up now is the heir.

Guo Henian has two wives publicly, and they gave birth to three sons and five daughters for him. At present, it is believed that these four people are most likely to accept Kerry Group.

Guo Kongcheng, Guo Kongyan, Guo Konghua and my nephew Guo Kongfeng are the most likely to succeed.

Although you have three sons, you are not as good as a nephew.

Guo Kongcheng once had an affair with Teresa Teng and got engaged privately, but his grandmother objected. As a result, the villain finally retaliated and married the Japanese woman.

Guo Kong is much more reliable than his eldest brother. He not only studied at the University of Nottingham in England, but also worked hard in the family business since then, but the two brothers have one thing in common.

In recent years, Guo Henian, who had high hopes for them, was very angry.

Instead, Guo Henian praised his nephew Guo Kongfeng. He once bluntly said at the group meeting that Guo Kongfeng was a better successor, and Guo Kongfeng was indeed worthy of the heavy responsibility of the successor.

Today, Guo Kongfeng owns six companies in Chinese mainland alone, including the most important asset of the Guo family, Arowana, with a market value of 350 billion.

Although Guo Henian praised Guo Kongfeng, he did not give him the right to be the person in charge of the company. I wonder if he is waiting for his youngest son, Guo Konghua, to take charge of the overall situation alone?

Compared with his two brothers, Guo Konghua is obviously better. Now there are as many as 12 companies under his name, but there is a big gap with his cousin Guo Kongfeng.

Children and grandchildren can be like me, so why should they always be rich? If you are not as good as me, no amount of money is empty.

This time, I wonder if Guo Henian can practice family training?
