In the next few days, Chen Zhiwen met with chemical giants such as Exxon, Mobil, and Dow Corning, and placed an order for 20,000 to 50,000 tons of plastic particles with each company. The process was similar to that of his previous meeting with Smith. He took out the HSBC bank When asked why he bought the deposit certificate, he pointed to the north and hinted that the rest was gone.
How these people understand it is none of his business.
Two weeks later, eight companies including Dow, Dow Corning, and Mobil signed purchase agreements with Chen Zhiwen for tens of thousands of tons of plastic particles, totaling 250,000 tons. According to Hong Kong prices, the price should be HK$300 million, but in the end their The transaction price was set at HK$225 million, including freight. Chen Zhiwen paid one-third of the deposit, which is HK$75 million, and the goods will be delivered six months later.
In order to be on the safe side, Chen Zhiwen requested that the liquidated damages be three times the price of the goods. This requirement was difficult for several companies such as Dow and Mobil to accept. However, later considering that this was an indirect business with the country, if the goods could not be delivered in time, It may affect other people's industrial development plans, so that's why they set such a high liquidated damages. From a risk perspective, there is almost no risk, it's just plastic particles. How can it be impossible to deliver the goods? Oil can be obtained by just practicing.
After the two parties settled on the contract, Chen Zhiwen also asked for a special note that the contract could be sued in the United States. Considering the people behind Chen Zhiwen, several companies also found it understandable.
At this point, the layout for the first oil crisis has been initially completed. Just wait for the price of plastics to increase more than three times with the oil crisis, and then sell it again. Even because the delivery time is half a year later, the oil crisis has already begun. It has already broken out. This batch of plastic particles may not even need to enter Hong Kong before they can be resold at a high price. The large warehouse built in Yuen Long is just for backup. Anyway, it will not be a loss. Even if it is industrial land, it will be sold in a few days. When Hong Kong emerges from the real estate crisis in 2019, prices will increase several times, and by that time, they can also be used in their future factories.
After the large-scale layout was completed, Chen Zhiwen bought several pieces of industrial land and built several industrial office buildings. The current price is relatively cheap. This is not to speculate on industrial office buildings, but because he really needs to use them in the future.
For other investments, we also arrange for people to acquire Wharf stocks on the stock market. Starting last year, Wharf began a ten-year plan to invest 2 billion to build Harbor City. However, due to its conservative business strategy, Wharf did not have large-scale investment. Instead of borrowing money, it began to raise funds for share expansion in the stock market, which led to the decline of Wharf's stock price. However, it has just begun. Wharf has not yet expanded its shares and cannot acquire too many shares.
In September, the heat in Hong Kong finally dropped a little, which made Chen Zhiwen feel a lot more comfortable when outdoors. The first few months were uncomfortable enough. Although the temperature in Hong Kong is not very high in summer, the humidity is too high. Magic attacks It's so uncomfortable.
"Wow, so beautiful." Zhang Yunxue exclaimed as soon as she entered a car showroom in Jinzhong.
"Not as pretty as you." Chen Zhiwen shrugged beside him.
Zhang Yunxue looked back with a strange look and said, "What? I'm talking about the car."
Chen Zhiwen ignored it and said with a smile: "All the cars here belong to me, you can pick one and drive it."
After two months of searching, Lin Yanming finally found a suitable car shop in Admiralty. The owner was a poor man. When Land was drinking milk, he spent a lot of money to buy milk shares and then exchanged them for Land shares, but Unexpectedly, after Dairy Milk was acquired by Land, the stock market plummeted, and decades of savings were destroyed. He also owed a lot of debt to the bank, so he had no choice but to sell it. Chen Zhiwen also bought it at a very favorable price. The property of this car dealership and shop.
"Really, any car will do?" Zhang Yunxue said happily. When she was free, she often drove Chen Zhiwen's car to enjoy the ride.
It's just that Chen Zhiwen's car is too big and she is not tall enough. Although the car is very comfortable to drive, she always feels too tired after a long time.
Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, "Just pick whatever you like."
Chen Zhiwen actually has no interest in the supercars and super-luxury cars of this era. With his later aesthetics, he just wants to say what are they?
However, in normal BBA, there are still some things that are eye-catching. Although it is a bit boxy and the car center console is very simple, there seems to be no shortcomings in other aspects, especially the power. Because the oil price is cheap, there are various eight-sided Twelve-cylinder engines abound.
This car dealership specializes in imported cars, ranging from cheap Toyota Volkswagens to middle-class BBAs. This also gives Chen Zhiwen a very wide range of choices. You must know that in the era before the Internet, choosing a car was a very difficult task. Troublesome things.
In the end, Chen Zhiwen himself chose the first-generation S-Class that Mercedes-Benz had just launched last year, and returned the old Mercedes-Benz to his father.
Another advantage of opening a car dealership is that his car dealers can choose cars, especially Zhang Yunxue, who often takes the initiative to find new car dealers for him. It will be much more convenient for her to have a car of her own.
Zhang Yunxue walked around, and a salesperson followed behind her, enthusiastically introducing the advantages and disadvantages of various types of cars. As a salesperson, she usually only introduced the advantages of cars, but the boss brought someone to pick a car. The shortcomings must be clearly stated, but fortunately, I have had similar experiences before, and now I can answer them easily.
Chen Zhiwen sat aside and read an English magazine. This was a professional book and periodical dedicated to introducing various types of cars. It also had some content that introduced the sales, development, and new model plans of the global automobile industry. These made him very happy. interested.
The automobile industry is the crown of the global industry and the industry with the greatest influence on the social economy. Now in the 1970s, there are still opportunities in this regard. Chen Zhiwen is naturally very ambitious. If he can own a car brand and develop it If you become bigger, then your life will not be in vain.
Of course, it is impossible to play with cars in Hong Kong. The future of Hong Kong cannot even be played in the auto parts industry.
An hour later, Zhang Yunxue came back after looking at all the models and trying out a few. She chose a BMW, which was a small model suitable for girls. At Chen Zhiwen's signal, the salesperson brought the key.
After receiving the key, Zhang Yunxue asked: "Can I drive this car?"
Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, "Okay, you can go through the ownership transfer yourself in a few days."
"Thank you, Brother Wen, you are so kind to me." Zhang Yunxue said happily.
Chen Zhiwen touched her cheek and said, "I'm sorry, if you have anything else you want, you can tell me."
He has always been hard on obedient beauties.
It was just a car and tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. Zhang Yunxue had been paying him for several months. She worked very hard and knew how to repay. Every time Chen Zhiwen gave her a little kindness, she always repaid him with springs.
"I'm going to drive on a wild trail. Brother Wen, do you want to come with me?" Zhang Yunxue asked again.
