After the 80s, the "Five Dynasties" political way

If Peitan Sinava can win in the Thai election next year, the "Meizhou celebrities" column in the official website of the Meizhou Municipal People's Government of Guangdong Province should add another character. Earlier, Peitan's father, he had already been on the list, because he had publicly acknowledged that his "coating trace" (Hakka, the hometown of his ancestors) was Fengshun County, Meizhou City.

Sinawa is a Thai language pronunciation of the Chinese surname "Qiu". It is a big surname in "Qiu" in Fengshun County. In Thailand, Sinawa is a large family that is enough to shake politics and business.

"Big" does not refer to the number of people, but the size of energy.

Peitan was his little daughter, born in 1986. Before 2021, she was a wealthy woman who was active in Instagram. The Chinese service, mansion, and leisurely life were the focus of her display. In October 2021, Peitan put on a red T -shirt and turned into a political consultant of the Thailand's largest party as the Thai party. In March of this year, the Thai party publicly stated that Peitan was the family of "the Thai family", and it was clear that the meaning of his election prime minister was unveiled. In June, according to the latest polls released by the National Institute of Development and Management of Thailand, Peitan's support rate was 25.28%, ranking first.

Peitan

A post -80s woman with a period of zero in politics has become a popularity of the Prime Minister of the Campaign in less than a year. It is not that the Thai people take a big selection play, but they understand that who stands out is not important. The important thing is that the person who stands coming out comes from the people who stand up. The Sinava family, this family has him believed.

Peitan also understands this truth.

Every time she wore a red T -shirt to attend public occasions, she always did not forget to mention her father. For example, "Father always says that he is a countryside, knowing that opportunities are difficult to come to the heads like him." Peitan will immediately point out the problems in Thailand, especially the difficulties faced by the people at the bottom, and then give a solution for the Thai party.

A typical set of campaign words, applause thunderous, the supporters present were excited, shaking the stands printed with Peitan's head, cheering loudly.

He believes and Peitan

As Peitan herself said that when she was 8 years old, her father served as the Thai Foreign Minister; at the age of 12, his father founded the Thailand Party (the predecessor of the Thai party and was forcibly dissolved); at the age of 15, his father became the Prime Minister of Thailand. Under her ears, she was familiar with these things.

He believes that Peitan, Sinava family, and even the most distinctive flag in the hands of the Thai party. However, he believes that he is not a rural person in the mouth of Peitan. Since the first generation of Wichea, this family has a lot of wealth and has been working hard to move towards politics.

Ten wealthy merchants, not one in one Pie

From the generation of "Qiu" into the generation of Sinava, he believed that he was the fourth generation of the Sinawa family.

At the end of the 19th century, Grandpa Qiu Chunsheng, who he believed in, came to Thailand with a nanta -nanda ship. In order to integrate into the local area, he changed his surname to Sinava. Qiu Chunsheng's head was light, and when he saw that the gambling of the coastal cities in Thailand was prevailing, he found the local government and recommended it to become a "casino tax provider". At that time, Thailand's taxation was adopted by the contracting system, and the taxes of a business contract for a certain industry were paid at a regular and quantitative payment of taxes, and the excess money was packed.

The casino profit, Qiu Chunsheng saved his first bucket of gold in a certain seaport, expanded the taxpay business of the casino to Chiang Mai, and then went to Bangkok to carry out silk business. Because he dares to shuttle and process between China -Myanmar and Thailand, the finished product is unique and the quality is excellent, and even the Thai royal family has begun to use the silk he sells.

Qiu Chunsheng's successor Qiu Achang, that is, his grandfather, is very visionary.

After the family moved to Bangkok, Qiu Achang did not stare at the silk business, but instead expanded the business to real estate and transnational trade. After the end of World War II The first wave of bonus. Not only that, Qiu Achang also sent all 12 children in the family to a prestigious school at home and abroad to study, thereby cultivating his father and Rotor Sinava.

Lot has not achieved many achievements in the business community. The focus of the Sinava family business is still in the fields of silk, real estate, trade and finance made by the two generations. Starting from the staff of the Chiang Mai Prefecture, the chairman of the Boat of the Hall in the second year, the third year elected as a member of the parliament, and then entered the Thai military government, which was reused.

There is an old saying in China that "no more than three generations", but for the Sinava family, the third generation is the turning point of family wealth. Previously, they only had wealth. From Rot, they wanted both wealth and power.

It is said that Thailand is a "smile country". More than 95%of people believe in Buddhism, but few people know that Thailand is also a country with a very important official thought. One of them. " The Jieye is a title given by the royal family of Thailand, and people who are usually subject to this title will also get higher official positions.

Lot led the Sinava family into politics. Although the business was not much progress, the family reputation was pushed to a new height.

He believed that the first person in the Sinawa family went to the peak of the political and business realms at the same time.

he believe

Affected by his father, he believed in a politician since he was a child. During the administration of the military government, the most convenient path was to be a soldier or police. To this end, he believed in the Bangkok Police School and graduated with the first place and became a police officer. It didn't take long for the Major Army to study in the United States and obtained a doctorate degree in criminal justice. After returning to China, he served as a consultant at the Policy Planning Office of the Bangkok Police Staff. It is worth mentioning that his wife was a daughter of a lieutenant general in Thailand.

After the police qualifications are brushed, he believes that he focuses on taking care of the family business. In the 1980s, with the connections created by his father in politics, he and IBM were on the line to sell products exclusively for IBM in Thailand. At that time, IBM's products were leading the world and the supply was in short supply. He believed the opportunity to enter the telecommunications industry, first set foot in data communication, and won the full ten years of data communication network franchise rights in Thailand. Specialized rights for the year and fifteen years.

Whether it is exclusive or specialized, it is just an euphemistic statement for monopoly operations. In any field, once monopoly, it will breed huge profits.

In the 1990s, he believed that the territory of the Sinava family was greatly broaden. From the traditional trade, silk, real estate, and financial fields to the most popular and most profitable telecommunications fields, the Sinawa family was not involved. In 1994, he had a number of specialized rights. He believed that he had become the Thai telecommunications industry tycoon and ranked among the top wealthy Thailand. It was also this year that he was appointed Foreign Minister and really started his political career.

For him, political success is faster and faster than wealth.

In 1997, Soros led a large number of short baht. Thailand has long relying on short -term foreign loans to maintain the balance of international revenue and expenditure and unable to maintain a fixed exchange rate. People don't talk about life.

In 1998, he believed in the establishment of the Tai Aitai Party to promote his economic concepts, especially farmers and the bottom people with the smallest political volume to win a lot of support. In just 3 years, his letter became the Prime Minister of Thailand with an overwhelming advantage in the election.

At the same time, many media in Thailand took stock of his wealth that he could not get accurate valuations, but they and the American "Fortune" magazine came to a common conclusion: he had many associates who had a special authority, and it was likely to be the richest man in Thailand.

On February 9, 2001, he wrote to be officially served as Prime Minister of Thailand. After more than a hundred years of rooted in the Sinava family, through the efforts of the four generations, they reached the peak of wealth and power.

Governing the country at the same time as a CEO

What did he believe to Thailand?

Those who miss him will remember that he led Thailand to get out of the Asian financial turmoil. He also settled a huge debt of $ 17.3 billion in the International Monetary Fund. ), Allowing the poor can also look at the onset, it is also his strong anti -drugs, so that the drugs spread in Thailand are clear.

Those who hate him will remember that because of his strong means, as many as thousands of people were killed in the fields because of drugs without trial, because of his laissez -faire, the Thai government officials were repeatedly banned.

So, what did the Sinawa family represented by his faith?

Starting from his letter, in the past few years, the wealth of the Sinava family expanded rapidly. His second daughter became the "Fortune" magazine in 2004 "Thailand's 500 Rich Master". The big sister of his believers ranked second. The son of his believers ranked fourth. Sixty -five, his wife's wife ranked 321st.

No one knows how much wealth has the Sinawa family, but it is clear that this family has become an important pole in the Thai rich list.

In addition to wealth, Sinawa became a political sign in Thailand. No matter who, as long as he takes up the signs of Sinava, he can occupy a place in the Thai election and even become the prime minister.

In September 2006, a military coup broke out in Thailand, and he was forced to step down. In 2008, the People's Forces Party, who was under the West Nava Banner, won in the election. Sama Shundawei was elected Prime Minister. Previously, he was a chef and hosted a food cooking program on the TV station. After taking office, he did not forget the chef's instinct. He was busy participating in the recording of 4 cooking programs. He received 80,000 baht (about 16,000 yuan) for remuneration. Subsequently, his brother -in -law Song Guess Weng Shawa took over as the Prime Minister and was still a member of the Sinawa family. Unfortunately, in just three months later, the People's Power Party was ordered to dissolve, and Song Gu was forced to step down.

In July 2011, his youngest sister Ying La won the election and became the first female prime minister in Thailand. Yingla had previously managed the real estate business of the Sinava family, and set a record of more than 113%of annual revenue growth rates. From publicly announced the election to the real election, but for several months. During this period, Yingla's candidate slogan was very straightforward. "He believed in thinking and acted for the Thai party." He only explained that Ying La was the fact that he believed in his agent.

British pull

After Yingla was elected, the real estate business and equity in his hand gradually handed over to his little daughter Peitan, so Peitan jumped to the top of the Thai rich list. In 2014, Yingla was forced to step down for the "rice malfeasance case" and exile as an exile as his brother. In 2021, Beatong, who held Health and his political assets, came to power and became another figure of another sprint prime minister in the Sinava family. Twenty years, a three prime minister, the Sinava family still occupies an important seat in Thailand's politics. As for wealth, it is like a foundation for this family, supporting their every move in front of the stage.

In 2006, he was forced to step down and exile overseas, but exile does not mean a bitter life. In 2012, he believed in an interview with Forbes magazine that he had obtained gold and titanium exploration franchise in Uganda and Tanzania, and obtained the franchise of titanium mining in Zimbabwe to obtain coal mining in South Africa.

After Yingla stepped down, it was also exiled overseas. According to media reports, Yingla holds a British and Serbian passport. Since December 12, 2018, she has become the chairman of Shantou International Container Terminal Co., Ltd.. Previously, the company belonged to Hutchison Whampoa, Li Ka -shing. As for the others of the Sinava family, they still hold huge wealth and play an important role in many industries in Thailand, including Pittan, who is enthusiastic about politics.

When he believed in the campaign, he repeatedly promoted his political philosophy, "governing the country like CEO". Originally, this only used business success to vote for himself. When he stepped down, people discovered that while governing the country, he did not delay his letter. Do a CEO. In essence, he is still a businessman, and his most successful asset is the Sinava family itself.

From a small county in Meizhou, Guangdong to Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, for more than 100 years, the Sinawa family has been in business to be the richest man in Thailand. It is a three prime minister from politics. Regardless of the external evaluation, the process itself is legendary.
