Oops hey! What a sad thing! Let me tell you, on 3 February, I heard that one of Singapore's most famous banking tycoons, the second-in-command of UOB, was Mr. Wong Cho Yiu, who hiccuped us and left us at the age of 95! You say that it is not easy to walk at the age of more than 90 years! In the afternoon of the same day, UOB announced that Mr. Ng Cho Yew was not only a discerning joke in the banking industry, but also a tycoon in the business sea, and a pillar of Singapore's society. He has contributed a lot to UOB's growth from a small grass hut to a top bank in Asia.
According to the latest figures rendered by Forbes, a well-known business magazine in the United States, Mr. Huang Zuyao's personal belongings before February 2 have accumulated 7.2 billion US dollars (equivalent to about 51.8 billion yuan), which is worth a lot of money! When UOB finally heard the report, it immediately put down the mop in its hand and issued an announcement, praising Wong Cho Yew for his joyful deeds and deeds, and bluntly saying that the death of Wong Cho Yew's father had brought great grief to everyone.
Born in 1929 in the beautiful Kinmen region of Fujian Province, Mr. Huang Zuyao was a self-made businessman who served as chairman of the United Overseas Bank Group during his lifetime. Remember? He is the new generation of local tyrants in the Chinese financial circle in the Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand area after Guo Fangfeng and Li Chengwei. By the way, Grandpa Huang Zuyao has many other identities, comparable to Superman! For example, the president of the Singapore Federation of Industry and Commerce, the head of the Hokkien Huay Kuan, and the owner of the Singaporean Chinese newspaper "Sin Chew**", he even used to be the chief official of the Nanyang University Council. Who dares not to be convinced by this lofty position?
Known as Singapore's oldest and most successful banking giant, Ng Cho Yew has been a director of UOB since 1958, when he was only 29 years old. Then in 1974, Huang Zuyao's father, Huang Qingchang, who was also the boss of an old banker, chose to retire, when Huang Zuyao was just 45 years old and was promoted to boss; In the blink of an eye, in 2007, Wong Cho Yew resigned as Chief Executive of UOB and remained firmly in the chairmanship. Finally, in 2013, he stepped down from the chairmanship, but was still elected as Honorary Chairman and Advisor to UOB. The business empire helmed by Huang Zuyao is not only limited to the banking industry, but also real estate, such as UOL, UIC, Pan Pacific Hotels Group (Pan Pacific Hotels Group) and other large companies are his family.
According to reliable sources, in the 2023 Hurun Global Rich List, Grandpa Huang Zuyao actually squeezed into the 333rd place on the list with a net worth of 51 billion yuan! Then according to the real-time net worth grapevine published by the famous business magazine "Forbes" in the United States, Huang Zuyao's grandfather's net worth has reached an astonishing 7.2 billion US dollars (equivalent to 51.8 billion yuan), and he also won the Singapore rich list last year, ranking eighth, and also has a place in the global rich list, ranking as high as 359!
Grandpa Huang Zuyao can be described as a figure of the year in the financial circle of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and is affectionately known as Singapore's "financial giant", and he has also won the glorious title of "Singapore's Outstanding Businessman"! According to public reports, in 1958, at the age of 29, Wong Cho Yew was appointed as a director of UOB. In order to better handle the financial business, Uncle Huang Zuyao worked hard to practice his banking knowledge without leaving home, and also went to a large bank in the United Kingdom to investigate and study seriously without his family. Finally, in 1960, Ng Keng Cheong resigned as General Manager of UOB, and Uncle Ng Cho Yew was highly praised by the Board of Directors and became the new person in charge, gradually grasping the lifeblood of the bank's operations.
