We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

1987 1 Month 24 Day.

There are still four days until New Year’s Eve. Luo Nianzhong, who had just returned from Iceland and had a short rest, went to Temasek.

In recent years, with the improvement of the world economy, Temasek's economy has seized the opportunity and has developed rapidly. Its transformation from intensive industries to high value-added industries can be said to be successful. In the eyes of the West, it is second only to the transformation of Hong Kong Island.

Temasek's economic growth has attracted much attention not only in Asia but also in the world, and it is known as the leading troika of Asia.

As for the other two carriages, they must be Hong Kong Island and the island country.

Needless to say, the island country has become the leader of the Asian economy with its huge GDP.

What about Hong Kong Island? Now more and more people are calling this city the financial center of Asia, and it is expected to become the region with the highest GDP per capita in Asia in the future.

The total economic output of Hong Kong Island is definitely not comparable to that of the island countries. It is no exaggeration to say that there is a world of difference.

However, last year Hong Kong Island’s per capita GDP surpassed that of the island countries and ranked second in Asia.

Although the Hong Kong government has not released specific data, just two days ago, the Hong Kong Financial Magazine made a forecast of various economic data for 1986, including GDP of various countries, per capita income, etc.

According to the ranking given by Hong Kong Financial Magazine, Hong Kong's per capita GDP in 1986 was as high as US$19877.

This figure surpasses the island country's $19043 and ranks second in Asia and eleventh in the world, second only to the UAE's $23678.

Apart from the UAE and the five Nordic countries, the rest of the countries ahead of Hong Kong Island are countries like Morocco and Luxembourg.

What makes the outside world most optimistic about Hong Kong Island's becoming Asia's financial center is its economic growth rate in the past decade, which is incomparable to the island countries that have already amazed the whole world.

Economic experts all over the world believe that the gap will further widen. Many people think that within ten years, Hong Kong Island will become the region with the highest GDP per capita in Asia, surpassing even the desert tycoons.

It is also because of this that Hong Kong Island, along with the island country and Temasek, is hailed as one of the three economic leaders in Asia, attracting the attention of capital from all over the world.

The Peninsula Hotel, today is the opening day of The Peninsula Hotel Temasek.

Normally, the opening of a hotel or shopping mall like this would invite some celebrities to liven up the atmosphere, but this time it was different. All the people who came were big shots, even the eldest son of the Lee family of Temasek came.

He did not come to attend the opening ceremony of the Peninsula Hotel, but to attend the first Far East Forum.

The Far East Forum, as the name suggests, is a conference organization founded by Luo Nianzhong. It is comparable to the economic forum founded by the Rockefeller family.

What is the purpose? The Far East Forum is to form a huge network of relationships and achieve control through the economy and the supply of talents to various countries.

If it can really become an institution organized by the Luo family in later generations, then the influence will be enormous and the Luo family will reach its peak.

In the history of the United States, there have always been three great national masters, namely Huntington, Brzezinski and the familiar Kissinger.

Huntington wrote many books in his life, and "Civilizations and Clashes" published in his later years caused widespread controversy.

Later, this article was expanded into a book, the famous "The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order".

Not only did it further emphasize the importance of the United States in rebuilding the world order in the future, the United States also used this book to justify its invasion of Syracuse.

Needless to say, Kissinger had a deep friendship with Rabbit and made historic contributions to opening the door to diplomatic relations between the two countries.

The last one, Brzezinski, was even more remarkable. His death caused a huge sensation in the United States. Some media even said that "Brzezinski's death marks the end of elite rule in the United States."

This man is most famous for his three major predictions.

Once the Polar Bears entered Afghanistan, they would be bogged down in the quagmire and fail, which was indeed the case.

Although this cannot be said to be the fundamental reason for the collapse of the polar bears, it can also be seen as a fuse.

The second prophecy was the rise of rabbits, and we have indeed become a world power.

The third prediction is the conflict between Big Mao and Second Mao. He thinks Western countries will try their best to win over Second Mao to delay Big Mao, but Big Mao will eventually win if other countries do not intervene personally.

There are just three people with a keen sense of smell, foresight and awareness. What you might not expect is that these three people are from the same organization, the Luo family.

You can even understand it one-sidedly as members of the Rockefeller family, using them to influence the elite society of the United States.

This is a great idea, how could we not copy it?

Isn't this a non-governmental organization established by the tycoons of the United States, Western Europe and the island countries? Then I will establish a similar one in Asia.

At the Peninsula Hotel, there were no red carpets or garlands, no firecrackers, no reporters or stars; everything seemed so low-key.

The scene was low-key, but the people were not.

When Luo Nianzhong got out of the car, old Jardine, who was there to greet him personally at the door today, came up to him.

"Lawrence, thank you for your hard work today."

"It's my duty. It's what I should do." Old Jiadao didn't mind at all playing the role of a doorman today.

Originally, today's meeting was to be held at the Peninsula Hotel, and the guests were all well-known figures, so it would be inappropriate for anyone else to receive them, so he had to come himself.

Michael? That's a junior nowadays, he would eat at the table with the kids, or rather, he wouldn't even have the kids' food.

Another reason was that because of Luo Nianzhong's proposal, old Kadoorie was nominated as the rotating president.

According to the meeting charter, there are five rotating presidents, with a cycle of five years.

Normally, the rotating president does not have much power, but when there are disagreements, the five rotating presidents will vote to make the decision.

Each member of the Far East Forum will have one vote for any topic, and only when more than 80% of the votes are cast can it be passed by all members.

If the number of votes in favor is between 6% and 8%, the rotating president will decide by voting; if the number of votes in favor is less than %, the proposal will not be passed.

The overall structure is five rotating presidents, several regular members and a large number of ordinary members.

Regular members and rotating presidents are all families that can exert great influence in the region. This number will be absorbed or eliminated over time, and the number is not fixed.

Ordinary members are well-known scholars, lawyers, union presidents and other influential and prestigious people.

The number of people in the entire Far East Forum will be controlled at around three to four hundred, of which ordinary members account for the majority.

Simply put, it is a system of super families, big families and influential people who can make great contributions and create benefits.

When I walked into the Peninsula Hotel, the first person I met in the lobby was Huang Yanfang, with whom I had worked before. Today was his home court.

After a simple greeting, Huang Yanfang joked, "From now on you can't call me Luo Sheng, you should call me President."

"Old Huang, you are making fun of me."

The word "Old Huang" directly brought them closer together, and Huang Yanfang's smile became even wider.

"Haha, now that we have established the Far East Forum, we must act according to our duties. There is no order without rules."

Luo Nianzhong smiled and shook his head without saying anything, and invited him to walk into the conference hall together.

As soon as you come in, the scene inside is indescribably lively. Many of them are old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time. They are gathered together to sigh about the glorious deeds of the past, and some people are taking this opportunity to make some connections.

What kind of connections are these? Almost all the top five families in Southeast Asia are here. The Far East Forum does not only recruit Chinese but also all big capitalists.

So unless they are determined Western lackeys, the Far East Forum will accept them.

It is no exaggeration to say that the people gathered in the hall now control the entire Southeast Asian economy.

How could those who work in government departments not drool when seeing these people? Just by tilting resources and attracting a few investments, they can gain huge prestige and the love of local people.

If we were to ask which region has the largest number of selected people, it would definitely be Hong Kong Island.

There are more than a dozen regular members including the Charter King, Huo Daheng, Uncle Li, Li Bancheng, Shark Dantong, Kadoorie, the Guo family, etc.

Looking at members from other countries, every family has some business in Hong Kong Island. One can only say that the economy of Hong Kong Island was really strong during this period.

After everyone arrived, Luo Nianzhong announced the start of the meeting.

This first Far East Forum had no other agenda but one thing, which was to promote economic development and do better business.

Later, relying on this trick, the United States began to invest heavily in Southeast Asia, and everyone knows what happened afterwards.

Now Luo Nianzhong will not give the United States the opportunity to have whatever it wants so easily. Does he want to turn Southeast Asia into his own wealth backyard?

Okay, you have to get past me first.

Don't even think about it without paying something.

As for the large number of elite wealthy people in Southeast Asia whose assets have been plundered, Luo Nianzhong said it is none of his business.

Not to mention Luo Nianzhong, even the members from their own country who can participate won’t care. This is the cold-bloodedness of capital.

Tenderness? You can only see it when you see the greater good.

Although the scale is certainly not as large as that promoted by the United States, it is enough.

By then, once their resources are tilted and other hesitant and wait-and-see families join in, their influence will naturally increase greatly.

Better development, mutual help, if you think about it carefully, this is a perfect closed loop.

It is impossible to give up the Western market. Southeast Asia is still too poor. The cheap goods produced cannot be consumed by Hong Kong Island and Macau. Only by entering the markets of developed countries can more income be generated.

But there is no need to be too anxious. These goods are already too expensive for developed countries to resist because of their cost. Bringing them in is just to stimulate consumption even more.

It costs more to wash a shirt at the laundromat than to buy a new one. What would you choose?

Many people think that beautiful countries are rich and they just throw away their clothes without washing them after wearing them. That's because washing them costs more.

For those middle class or elite class, their time is money, do you expect them to do their own laundry at home? Don't daydream.

Why don’t they use this time to spend some quality time with the girls?

After all the members arrived, Luo Nianzhong personally presided over the first Far East Forum and it officially opened, marking a new step for the Luo family.
