America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 451
When Chen Xiuli and Guo Feili said they wanted to immigrate, their tone was very rigid.

But when things really come to the fore.

This Malaysian Chinese actress still chose to compromise.

Her whole family used to live in Malaysia, and their lives were very ordinary.

It wasn't until she made her debut and became a moderate star that her family became richer day by day.

The whole family of seven, and because of her, all moved to Singapore to live here.

In fact, if possible, Malaysian Chinese below the wealthy class can choose the metropolis and choose to live and develop in Singapore.

Firstly, Singapore itself is the most prosperous city and country in Southeast Asia.

Whether it is for Chinese or other ethnic groups, it has great appeal.

This is normal, most human beings yearn for life in a modern metropolis.

Second, the main body that dominates this country has always been Chinese since the founding of the country.

The latter point is very attractive to Malaysian Chinese who have always been discriminated against, rejected everywhere, and even the diplomas of Chinese-language schools are not recognized by the state.

A family can immigrate from Malaysia to Singapore, or even just live and work here.

For Malaysian Chinese below the wealthy class, it is almost equivalent to mainlanders in the 80s and 90s. The whole family can go to Hong Kong Island to live.

Chen Xiuli's family has been in Singapore for almost two years.

Because she is a star after all, and her family has worked hard enough.

Her family is about to obtain Singapore resident qualifications, and these two to three years are a critical inspection period.

Chen Xiuli dare not imagine.

If it is because of your own reasons.

The whole family will not be able to obtain the resident status, and may be expelled from Singapore.

What a terrible scene that would be.

So for my family, but also for my own stardom.

Chen Xiuli is the same as more than ten other well-known actresses, models, and beauty pageant champions in Southeast Asia.

They all chose to submit and obey in the end.

They have undergone an afternoon of special training, learning how to be maids and how to please men.

Well, the latter, many of them know a little bit.

After all, the industry they are engaged in is more or less related to the big quagmire of the entertainment industry.

As for the women in the entertainment industry, except for a few individuals, most of them are very good at pleasing men.

At the end of the training, they were dressed in the distinctive costumes of various ethnic groups in Southeast Asia.

Then, under arrangement, she entered one of the most luxurious seaside villas near Siloso Beach to act as a maid and maid.

As long as the distinguished guests stay in Singapore, they will also stay here as long as possible.

Chen Xiuli is wearing the special costume of "Bamo Nyonya".

The Peranakan and Nyonya are a unique mixed-race ethnic group in Southeast Asia.

They are the descendants of the Chinese who settled in Malaya in the early [-]th century in the areas of Managa, Majapahit and Srivija, and are descendants of the combination of ancient Chinese immigrants and aborigines.

Because most of the fathers are Chinese, the culture and habits of this ethnic group are very similar to Chinese, and can be regarded as a branch of Chinese.

It's just that in ancient times, because of their mixed-race identity, this ethnic group was neither welcomed by the Chinese nor the aborigines, and their status was very embarrassing.

Chen Xiuli is actually not a Peranakan, she is a pure-blood local Chinese.

This is the local name for Chinese descendants whose ancestors are all Chinese intermarriages.

Don't look at the TV dramas in Southeast Asia, they play the Peranakan very well.

But in fact, this group had a very low status in the past.

However, Chen Xiuli wears this kind of clothes just for the sake of uniqueness, it does not mean that she is a Peranakan.

And even if she doesn't want to wear it.

Chen Xiuli was reluctant in her heart, but at the same time she was extremely curious about who the distinguished guest was.

How could the authorities in Singapore ask these famous women to do this kind of thing.

This evening.

After Chen Xiuli and Guo Feili got dressed, they were led by European and American maids in the villa and started their work.

Because they were younger and more beautiful, Chen Xiuli and Guo Feili were able to serve in the living room of the villa under the guidance of four European and American maids.

When she was full of curiosity, with a pair of beautiful big eyes looking around without moving her head, she entered the living room of the manor villa.

The scene inside surprised Chen Xiuli, her beautiful eyes widened.

Because on the sofa in this living room.

She met the most official public figure on television in Singapore.

No. 1 person in Singapore, the boss!
I saw Mr. Li who was full of white hair and was laughing.

At this moment, Chen Xiuli and Guo Feili's eyes were straightened.

They heard Boss Li talking to a tall young foreign man in a respectful and flattering tone that was unfamiliar to them.

"Mr. Smith, I am so envious of Hong Kong Island. Your appearance has made Hong Kong Island's Hang Seng Index rise by almost 8.9% in the past half a month!"

"It's almost reached 10%! It's really worthy of you, really worthy of Mr. Smith. In our Chinese language, you are simply the God of Wealth. But I said that the name of God of Wealth should be replaced by yours."

Leader Li spoke English, very fluent throughout, with a full Oxford accent.

Oxford accent is the most standard accent of British English.

The various English tapes for learning British English outside the UK, as well as the accent used by the BBC, are basically this Oxford accent.

In Singapore and Malaysia, it is not surprising to be able to speak and speak English well.

To be able to speak in such a standard Oxford accent, Boss Li obviously learned it hard.

But now, what Chen Xiuli and Guo Feili are curious about is not that Boss Li's Oxford accent is very standard.

It's about what kind of person can make Boss Li speak and treat him in such a tone.

You must know that although Singapore is a small country, it is very active in the international arena because of its developed economy.

There is also a very important strait.

The combination of these conditions gives Singapore a strong influence and voice in Southeast Asia.

Leader Li himself is of a very high status among the leaders of the entire Southeast Asian region because of his ability.

Such a big man actually treats such a young foreigner like this.

The attention of Chen Xiuli and Guo Feili was all attracted by the foreign man in front of Chief Li.

The man looked very tall at first glance, sitting on the sofa, more than two heads taller than Boss Li.

But what is more striking is not the height of this foreign man, but his appearance.

At first glance, Chen Xiuli felt that he was even more handsome than Leonardo who was popular in Southeast Asia a few years ago because of the Titanic.

At the second glance, Chen Xiuli felt that he looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere herself.

Just as she was thinking carefully, trying to remember where she was, she had seen this foreign man.

When she heard Guo Feili next to her, she called out very softly.

"ah--"

The sound is very small, but in a quiet living room, it is still clearly visible.

Both the man and leader Li turned their heads to look over.

Because of Boss Li's majestic gaze, Chen Xiuli was so frightened that her legs straightened.

Facing the two people's gazes, Guo Feili, who made a voice, even had a crying voice, bowing down and apologizing softly.

Leader Li, who was smiling just now, now has a majestic expression on his face.

Even if she didn't face her directly, Chen Xiuli felt that her heart would stop beating in fright.

At this time, they heard the extremely handsome foreign man chuckle, "Harry, it's not as exaggerated as you said. The Hang Seng Index on Hong Kong Island can rise so fast, I don't have that much credit."

Seeing his voice, Chen Xiuli attracted Boss Li's attention.

One of the big figures in Southeast Asia immediately had that gentle and humble tone again.

This made her breathe a sigh of relief, and Guo Feili, who made a mistake next to her, looked at the foreign man gratefully.

"This is obvious to all. Mr. Smith, the data will not lie. Before you came, the Hang Seng Index did not rise so fast."

Seeing that Boss Li insisted on saying this, Abel could only smile and shake his head slightly.

This evening, Chief Li came to visit again.

At the same time as the visit, he also sent a group of maids with Singaporean and Southeast Asian styles.

In the past few days in Singapore, Abel only felt that this old man was too good-natured.

Although Abel knew that 99% of the old man's "uprightness" was because of himself, the core figure of a large consortium in the United States.

But I have to say, because of the extremely high EQ and deep knowledge of Western culture.The old man's "going up the road" not only won't make Abel feel uncomfortable, but also makes him feel very happy.

The ability to "do big things" and be able to do this to this extent has to be said to be a talent.

So Abel left him to have dinner with him in the villa this evening.

After lunch, the two chatted in the living room.

While chatting, Boss Li brought up the topic of Hong Kong Island's Hang Seng Index, which has risen by almost 10% in the past week.

More importantly, this surge in the Hang Seng Index started just a week ago when Hong Kong Island media reported that the world's richest man visited Hong Kong Island and chatted happily with the rich and elite in Hong Kong Island. up.

Afterwards, most of the media on Hong Kong Island gave the credit for the soaring Hang Seng Index to Abel.

These media are saying that it is precisely because Abel made extremely optimistic remarks about the future of Hong Kong Island when he visited Xiangjiang.

The remarks made by the world's richest man have caused a lot of international funds to pour into Hong Kong Island.

The influx of foreign funds quickly raised the value of Hong Kong stocks.

As a result, the Hang Seng Index skyrocketed.

Later, it rose a lot, and some media even compared Abel with the God of Wealth in the Chinese pantheon.

It is said that he is the God of Wealth of the Hong Kong Island stock market and stockholders.

In short, both official and non-governmental media have praised him.

This is what Boss Li was chatting with Abel just now.

In fact, Abel is very clear that this surge in the Hang Seng Index may be partly due to his own credit.

Because the name of the richest man in the world is more or less a plaque.

In the field of wealth, influence is still there.

It's like Wang Duoyu had a meal with the stock god once, and all the stocks he bought rose in the same way.

But in the final analysis, the more important reason is that in the past two years, the whole of Asia has been in the trough period after the stock market crisis.

Hong Kong Island has just recovered from the last crisis in the past two years.

During this period of time, the stock market on Hong Kong Island has actually recovered, but because it was hit too hard earlier, the overall confidence is low.

Abel's visit and speech can be regarded as a stimulant for the Hong Kong Island stock market that has recovered its strength and re-established confidence.

In addition, there are indeed some international hot money, and I feel that Abel's purpose of visiting Hong Kong Island is not pure.

They think this may be a prelude to Abel's plan to attack the Hong Kong Island stock market.

The predators on Wall Street have always made hateful remarks about something after they have expressed their optimism about it.

They felt that Abel was like this. They wanted to make money, so they quietly let part of the funds enter the Hong Kong Island stock market.

Even Soros secretly put in some funds...

A combination of various factors finally caused the Hang Seng Index to skyrocket for a week after Abel made his public appearance on Hong Kong Island.

"Harry, you keep saying this. Do you want me to show up in Singapore too?"

Abel looked at Boss Li and said with a smile.

Leader Li has several foreign names, but only one English name, which is HARRY.

This is the English name given to him by his father. At that time, Singapore and Malaysia were still the territories of the British.

On the first day they met, Boss Li insisted that Abel call him by his English name.

As for himself, he always called Mr. Smith to Abel.

"It would be great if I could."

Li Boss looked surprised, "The Singapore Stock Exchange also wants to experience the happiness of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange."

The financial services industry in Singapore, a tiny place, is doing very well.

The Singapore Stock Exchange ranks fourth in Asia after Tokyo, Hong Kong Island, and Shanghai.

In this day and age, it can occasionally surpass the Shanghai Metropolis and rank No. 3, which can already be called an international financial city.

Seeing Boss Li like this, Abel pondered for a while, and then gave a reply:

"It's not impossible...Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, Harry, you arrange for your media to interview me. But I can't guarantee that the KOSPI index in Singapore will rise like the Hang Seng Index. I still insist that the Hang Seng Index The skyrocketing price is not my credit."

Since there is a stock market, financial development is not bad.

Of course, Singapore also has its stock market index, the Chinese name is the FTSE Singapore Index, or the FTSE Strait Index.

There is basically no difference between the model and the stock indexes of other countries.

Leader Li was a little disappointed, what he wanted was Abel's public televised speech.

In that case, it will look more grand than Abel's speech on Hong Kong Island.

It is possible for Singapore to be here, overtaking Hong Kong Island.

And this has always been what Boss Li insisted on doing-yes, it is to overwhelm Hong Kong Island!

As the leader of Singapore, Leader Li has always understood.

In Southeast Asia, Singapore's biggest competitor is Hong Kong Island.

The problem is that compared to Hong Kong Island, Singapore is far inferior in many aspects.

The area is not as big as others, the population is not as large as others, and the backing behind is not as strong as others.

It can be said that apart from a strait, Singapore has no place comparable to Hong Kong Island in terms of natural conditions.

Even with the addition of the Strait, Singapore is no match for Hong Kong Island.

Because Xiangjiang is backed by mountains, it has one of the largest markets in the world.

That market is just too big.

The kind that is bigger than Malaysia, or even the entire Southeast Asia combined.

On the other hand, businessmen from Hong Kong Island are not only free from discrimination and exclusion.

On the contrary, it has been popular for a long time.

On the contrary, Singaporean businessmen are not welcome to go to other places except in Singapore...

In this way, Singapore can develop similarly to Hong Kong Island.

Tut tut...

Media access Media access is better than nothing.

Thinking of this, Chief Li smiled and began to thank Qi Abel.

We chatted for a while, around eight o'clock in the evening.

Leader Li stood up very strikingly, smiled at Abel and said:
"Thank you very much Mr. Smith for your dinner, sorry for the trouble."

"You're welcome. Instead I would like to thank Harry for your hospitality. Next time you go to America, you are welcome to go to Texas or New York. Oh, Los Angeles is also fine. I will treat you well at my place , as you are doing now."

"No problem." Boss Li smiled happily.

At the same time, I was thinking of the names of these three places.

Texas, New York, Los Angeles.

Sure enough, these places are where he has the greatest influence.

Thinking of this, Boss Li smiled and left.

He didn't look at Chen Xiuli and Guo Feili the whole time.

But it puts more pressure on them.

Because at this moment, they already know who the "guests" in Singapore are.

It turned out to be Abel Smith, the richest man in the world from the United States!

No wonder I seem to have seen it somewhere. His photos often appear in newspapers and various high-end magazines.

Chen Xiuli still remembered that when she saw his photos for the first time, she was astonished by his photos.

At that time, she thought it was from Hollywood, some new super handsome guy, super ball grass.

In the end, he turned out to be the richest man in the world and the super rich man in the United States.

And now such a very handsome super rich man, in front of him, chatted for so long with the celestial boss Li in his heart.

At noon and afternoon, Chen Xiuli, who was still aggrieved in her heart, was already numb by now.

While Chen Xiuli was feeling very nervous, it wasn't long after Chief Li disappeared.

She saw a strong female foreigner who possessed her and whispered something in Abel's ear.

Abel nodded, and then his eyes shifted to her and Guo Feili.

"You are not being coerced, are you? If anyone is coercing you, tell me. I will help you and let you go."

I saw him looking at himself, and then said this to himself.

Chen Xiuli's mood tensed, and she wanted to answer nonsense.

Before she opened her mouth, she heard Guo Feili, who had lost her composure just now, whispered to Abel next to her:
"No, sir...we are all voluntary."

"You promise? This is my last chance for you."

"I promise, at least I promise that I am voluntary."

After hearing Guo Feili's answer, Abel's eyes fell on himself.

Chen Xiuli thought to herself, so what if it was involuntary?

Everyone who comes in here, who dares not volunteer?

She worked hard to show her acting skills, trying to make herself appear submissive and gentle, showing her maximum femininity like a man.

"Yes, sir, I also volunteer..."

The voice is soft and greasy.

Chen Xiuli was so tired that she doubted, was this really her own voice?

It sounds so sweet!
Abel nodded in satisfaction, then smiled and said:
"Well, I had someone prepare a few sets of clothes just now. You go down and change, and we'll meet again later."

Of course Guo Feili and Chen Xiuli could only agree.

Then two hours later, they put on the costumes of the two female characters in the TV series they participated in filming in the Mainland not long ago.

Wearing costumes, they appeared in front of Abel, who had also changed his clothes not long after he came out of the safe house.

Together with them, there is also Lin Xiangping who has just finished filming "Lotus Lantern".

All three of them were wearing costumes from their respective shows, and they also found that Abel, who was opposite, was also wearing costumes.

It's just an American, wearing ancient Chinese clothes.No matter how handsome he is, he still looks somewhat nondescript.

Just when they were nervous, they heard him say:

"From now on, don't think of me as Abel Smith. You have to think of me...well, as Xie Xun and Yang Jian."

They were even more surprised.

Because Abel is not speaking English this time.

It is their mother tongue, the Chinese language known as Guoyu in Southeast Asia.

Then, Xie Xun/Yang Jian pounced on Yin Susu, Xiao Zhao and Ding Xiang...

in their screams.

Abel happily experienced his childhood feelings.
