Title and certificate:
Work experience: Mr. Guo Kongcheng, a Malaysian national and a permanent resident of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. 1975 graduated from Mona University, Australia with a bachelor's degree in economics. He used to be managing director of Kerry Trading Co., Ltd., chairman of Shangri-La Hotel Group, chairman of Shangri-La (Asia) Co., Ltd., chairman of Kerry Group Co., Ltd., chairman of Malaysia's Rasasayangbeachhotels (Penang) BHD, director of Malaysia's PerlisPlantationBhd, and vice chairman of CITIC Pacific Limited. He is currently the chairman of Kerry Group Co., Ltd. and Kerry Trading Co., Ltd. Teresa Teng ended up with Guo Kongcheng.
As early as ten years ago, after attending the groundbreaking ceremony of the city that never sleeps in Shanghai, Guo Henian revealed that he had initially faded out of the business world and made his eldest son Guo Kongcheng the managing director of Kerry Group. This economic giant, who has many titles such as "Asian Sugar King", "Hotel Tycoon" and "Media Emperor", regards the selection of Guo's successors as a more important primary task than expanding the enterprise territory.
In the end, he chose the eldest son to act as an advance party, and other children and relatives were in charge of the family business, which was a drill for the inheritance of Guo's career. Nowadays, most of the elders of the "Crane" generation in this family are old, and they are gradually withdrawing from the front line of enterprise management and handing over the leadership to the "Kong" generation. At present, Guo Henian's eldest son, Guo Kongcheng, has succeeded his father as the chairman of the board of directors of Kerry Group Co., Ltd., becoming the most promising successor to the "Sugar King" among many brothers and sisters.
He who wins the country wins the mainland and the world.
Guo Kongcheng was born in 1954, and his English name is Beau. I graduated from Johor Bahru College of English in my early years and went to Australia to study business management after graduation. After returning home, Guo Henian put his eldest son on the front line of his work, served as a director of Shangri-La Group, and served as a roving ambassador, traveling between Ma Xingang and attending many important meetings instead of Guo Henian.
From 65438 to 0974, after the top management of Guo Group established Kerry Group Co., Ltd. in Hong Kong, Hong Kong and China Mainland gradually became the focus of the Group's further regional development in the 1970s and 1980s. Since then, the Guo Group has diversified its investment, operating hotels, real estate, warehouses, food industry, insurance, transportation and trade. The name "Kerry" has also become a symbol of the extensive business of the Kwok Brothers Group in Hongkong and mainland China.
Guo Henian's second son, Guo Kongyan, returned from studying abroad and was mainly responsible for Singapore-Malaysia business. Kong Cheng settled in Hong Kong with his father to take care of the business in Hong Kong and the Mainland, which was of great help to his father in expanding his business in Hong Kong and the Mainland.
Although in the mid-1970s, Guo Enterprise Group had firmly controlled 65,438+00% of the world sugar trade and was recognized as the world's six largest sugar, it did not stop there, but gradually expanded its territory from tourism, real estate to media.
In stark contrast to Kong Yan, the second son in charge of Singapore's Pacific shipping business, and his son-in-law who is a Malaysian securities giant, Guo Kongcheng has always stood at the forefront of the Guo Group with his father, attacking the city and plundering the land.
Among Guo Henian's children, Guo Kongcheng is in charge of the hotel industry. As a result, Guo established a huge Shangri-La hotel system in Asia, and was rated as "the new core value of Asian hotels" by the famous British business travel magazine.
1988, Guo acquired 30% equity of HKTVB and became the largest shareholder. Guo Henian and his eldest son Guo Kongcheng entered the board of directors as alternate directors.
In August 2006, Guo cooperated with the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of China to build the World Trade Center and China World Hotel in Beijing. Today, Guo Kongcheng frequently visits the mainland as the head of Guo, and has launched a series of cooperation projects in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Beihai, An, Wuhan, Shenyang, Changchun, Harbin, Qingdao and Dalian.
On the issue of successors, Guo Henian said: "I have been talking about retirement, hoping that successors can play a role. Overnight, the company's business in Chinese mainland developed rapidly. /kloc-When I was 0/6 years old, I studied Chinese for 18 months. My Chinese is limited, but I can still come in handy in communication with the mainland. " Obviously, the future development of Guo Group will focus on the mainland.
For Guo Kongcheng, whose career has just started, all this is also determining whether he can really surpass his parents and continue to write Guo Legend in the new century.
The relationship between beauty and Teresa Teng.
However, Guo Kongcheng's legend does not stop there.
Guo Kongcheng first appeared in newspapers and even became famous in Hong Kong, not because of the brilliant achievements of the Guo family, but because of his secret love with a generation later.
1In August, 978, Guo Kongcheng was invited to a nightclub by a Shao Dong of Hong Rensheng. Shao Dong's wife is a good friend. Deng happened to come here for dinner and met Guo Kongcheng.
198 1 year, Teresa Teng came to Hong Kong to hold a solo concert. During this period, there was a breakthrough in the relationship with Guo Kongcheng. Their love affair once made headlines in major media in Hong Kong. The two sides changed their old low profile and frankly admitted this relationship. Cook for Jing M.Guo himself, and Jing M.Guo told the media optimistically that they would get married in the spring of 1982.
However, this relationship failed to bear fruit in the end. Guo Henian's mother, Zheng Geru, has always loved her grandson very much and affectionately called him "Beard Guy". As soon as she saw Teresa Teng, she made a pact with him in three chapters: after marriage, she washed away her lead and stopped being a singer; From now on, no public singing is allowed on any occasion; Cut off contact with all friends in the entertainment circle.
Teresa Teng, who was in the heyday of music at that time, said that she could give up her singing career for love, but it was unfair for her to cut off all her friends in the entertainment circle. The two sides did not give in to each other, and finally this relationship ended in a "silent ending."
According to insiders, Deng Guo's wedding date is scheduled for March 17, and many friends have received their wedding invitations. However, these invitations were withdrawn five days before the wedding, which added a bit of loneliness to this bleak ending legend.
Later, it was reported that Guo Kongcheng did not dare to disobey orders because Mrs. Guo had a great influence in Guo Henian's mind. Guo Henian repeatedly declared in public: "My mother is the person who has the greatest influence on my life." Lao Guo's wife, Zheng Geru, is undoubtedly the only key figure behind the scenes who can influence Guo Henian's major decisions, such as determining his successor.
This legend ended with Teresa Teng going to France and Guo Kongcheng marrying Japanese girl Ma Yina. Interestingly, this Japanese woman likes Teresa Teng's songs very much. After learning the news of their marriage, Teresa Teng also generously said, "I wish them all the best."
According to people familiar with Guo Kongcheng and his wife, Ma Yina's facial contour is very similar to that of Teresa Teng when he first made his debut in 1970s.
