In addition, there is another person, although not a rich man, but his position change is attached to the request to immigrate to the United States, but he refused this request, in order to preserve Chinese nationality, he refused the United States 23 million high salary, but also let our country earn 3 trillion yuan a year, this person is known as Hong Kong's "rich grandfather" Liang Jinsong. He was born in 1952, a family of nine children, living conditions are difficult, the family is very poor. However, he was a very intelligent child from an early age, and through hard work, he successfully entered the Anglo-Chinese Academy.
Later, in the entrance examination, in fact, his original test score was only 13 points, and leaving school almost became a nail in the coffin that could not be changed. At that time, the principal saw that in addition to Liang Jinsong, there were eight other brothers and sisters in his family that needed to be raised, and the principal felt that the family was really too difficult, so he allowed him to continue to live in the vacant kitchen in the school canteen, so that he could continue to study.
And it was the principal's approach that completely changed his future destiny. After two years, the hard study life finally said goodbye, and he successfully entered the University of Hong Kong to pursue economics and statistics. In 1974, he joined Citibank and for 12 years held the position of Business Manager in the Asia-Pacific region, where he became a well-known foreign exchange expert in Hong Kong.
He has very suitable investment characteristics, such as fearlessness, caution, and accurate judgment, which have led him to become famous in the process of foreign exchange trading and become a very rare general. Leung made countless profits for Citibank.
In 1992, in the financial industry, he became more and more famous, and later assumed the position of president of the Hong Kong branch, Chinese felt proud of it, and he won glory for the motherland. It is worth mentioning that he has also made more outstanding contributions to the cultivation of financial talents in mainland China. In the 1980s and 1990s, China's development was not strong, so many foreign banks were reluctant to cooperate with Chinese banks.
Citibank was at the forefront of the industry at the time, but it was always trying to help China. Under the impetus of Liang Jinsong, Citibank has also held many financial training courses for China, cultivating many talents, and it is said that many important financial officials in the mainland have heard Liang Jinsong's speeches.
In 1996, the company invited Leung Kam-song to work at the US headquarters and offered a salary of HK$23 million a year, which was undoubtedly shocking. But Mr. Leung declined the invitation because Citibank required Mr. Leung to take a U.S. green card and immigrate to the U.S. for the position.
In order to preserve his Chinese citizenship, he simply chose to give up his 22-year job at Citibank. After that, Leung moved to JPMorgan Chase to continue to serve as chairman of the Asia Pacific region. Chinese remember that Leung refused a high salary from Citibank in order to preserve his Chinese nationality, and in 2001, he gave up his annual salary of 20 million yuan to become the director of Hong Kong's financial department.
In this regard, Liang Jinsong said so, he always firmly believes in a sentence, how much money earned does not belong to himself, how much money is his own, so a person has too much money has no effect.
During his tenure as Hong Kong's Financial Secretary, Leung Kam-sung, who is well known in the financial industry, proposed a variety of reform measures, which completely changed the problems existing in Hong Kong's economic structure, and also promoted the development between the mainland and Hong Kong, successfully solving the problem of Hong Kong's 70 billion yuan fiscal deficit. At the same time, he also called for an increase in the supply of land, which has led to a significant reduction in housing prices in Hong Kong.
This move offended many powerful people, but it created three trillion yuan in profits for Hong Kong. However, Leung Kam-song had only been financial secretary for two years before resigning from the post for personal reasons. After leaving this post, he returned to the political situation and also achieved remarkable results. We must admit that Leung Kam-sung has made great contributions to both Hong Kong's financial industry and China's financial industry as a whole, and can be called a legend in the financial industry.
