It is not surprising that the country is a second-rate dealer. Buying low and selling high is a very normal behavior. After all, no one could have imagined that the oil market, which has been stable for decades, would suddenly experience such fluctuations as it does today. At this time, if the price of materials that do not affect your strategic plan has increased several times, you can naturally resell them and make a fortune.
Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, "What do you think Mr. Smith?"
"Okay, I think Dow is still willing to do this deal." Smith nodded and said. Although he felt that he had been cheated, in fact, even without this deal, other people would buy these plastic particles. It has nothing to do with him anymore. For him and even for the entire Tao family, the formation of long-term cooperation with the northern power is the most important.
"The current price of plastics in the world has increased by almost 3.5 times compared to the contract we originally signed. How about I transfer it to Dow at a 10% discount?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile. Although he prepared a large warehouse, But he still doesn't want the plastic shipped.
There is no need to worry about selling at this time, but it is too troublesome and cumbersome to handle. The Hong Kong government still has to go through a lot of procedures. It is best to sell directly to the original manufacturer at a discount. I will only make a little less, but the advantage is It’s easy and the money back is quick.
"The 10% off price is very good. I will apply to the headquarters. If I get a reply, I will inform Mr. Chen immediately." Smith thought for a while and said. Petroleum products are in short supply now. The ship is sailing to RB. I don't know how much it costs. Companies will rush to get the goods, and the 10% discount price will allow Dow to make a fortune.
"Okay, then I'm waiting for your good news, Mr. Smith." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.
The two discussed the international and Hong Kong situation again, and then Smith said goodbye and left.
An Qi came in and was about to clean up. Chen Zhiwen took out a few business cards and said: "An Qi, call these people's offices. I want to find the people on the business cards. If you can get through, transfer them to me. If they are in Overseas, I also ask their assistant to make an appointment, and I need to have a phone call with them."
When the oil crisis broke out, many of the people in charge of these agencies in Hong Kong left, and they were abroad. In the era without mobile phones, it was too troublesome to communicate. We could only ask the assistants of both parties to contact them first, and then make an appointment. Time on the phone, plus the time difference, being able to get in touch within two days is considered fast.
"Okay, Chen Sheng, I'll go right away." An Qi promised.
"We've got a family." After An Qi left, Chen Zhiwen lay elegantly on the leather sofa and easily made tens of millions again. The speed of making money through the outlet was really amazing, but it's a pity that this is the only time in many years. Opportunity, you still have to have your own industry in the future.
In the next few days, Chen Zhiwen made phone appointments and communicated via Sino-Ocean phone calls, and reached reverse monopoly agreements with several companies that had previously reached deals. Subsequently, several negotiators previously recruited by Galaxy Holdings from HSBC conducted further discussions with these companies. From the transaction price to the details, more detailed negotiations are needed. After all, hundreds of millions of funds are involved, and there are not many companies in Hong Kong that can make so much money in a year.
Let’s not talk about how many times the profit can be earned. In this transaction, all the funds went through overseas banks. When Galaxy Holdings was founded, it opened accounts in several banks in Europe and the United States. These accounts belong to Galaxy Holdings. Several companies registered in Bermuda.
In addition to tax avoidance, there is another important purpose, which is to prevent HSBC from knowing about this matter. This is Chen Zhiwen's current development strategy. He needs to "take refuge" in HSBC to obtain massive financial support in the future, but HSBC is not As a philanthropist, he needs people who can control his support, so Chen Zhiwen must also pretend that he can only rely on HSBC. These hundreds of millions of funds will be my back-up, and they may not be used, but whether they are used is one thing, and whether they are available is another matter.
On December 20, Shen Bi took the initiative to call and make an appointment with Chen Zhiwen at HSBC Bank.
This was also the first time that Chen Zhiwen went to the headquarters of HSBC, but it was not the building that cost one billion US dollars in later generations, but an office building with only 7 floors in Central, but it was very large.
Under the leadership of HSBC staff, Chen Zhiwen came to Shen Bi's office on the sixth floor. The office area is very large. Shen Bi is now the general manager of HSBC. He has won the attention of the current chief executive, Sanders, and is a candidate for the future chief executive. the most likely candidate.
"Sheng Chen." Shen Bi is very fluent in Cantonese. This is the basis for a British ghost to work in Hong Kong. Although it is not mandatory, if you can't even learn local prophecies, you basically won't have much of a future. of.
"Mr. Shen Bi." Chen Zhiwen smiled and shook hands.
"Please take a seat." Shen Bi led Chen Zhiwen to a tea table, greeted with a smile, and made tea himself.
"Thank you." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile after finishing the tea cup. Shen Bi has not yet become a supervisor. If he waits until a few years later, it is estimated that only a few people such as the Hong Kong Governor will be able to enjoy this treatment.
After taking a few sips of the tea he brewed, Shen Bi said: "Sheng Chen, Huoduoli has been in contact with Lijia for three months and has negotiated more than a dozen times. Now the condition proposed by Lijia is 25 million Hong Kong dollars to transfer the entire United Soda Factory How do you feel about leaving the land and the land to you?"
"25 million!" Chen Zhiwen did not answer. Huoduoli is an investment company under HSBC, specializing in investment advice, acquisition planning and other businesses. In the original history, Bao Yugang's acquisition of Wharf was a carte blanche for Duoli.
In the past few months, Huoduoli has been in contact with Lee Family on behalf of the acquirer, and has regularly reported progress to Chen Zhiwen. At the beginning, Lee Family was not willing to sell United Soda. Lee Family is also considered one of the richest families in Hong Kong and has no shortage of money. , even if the soda plant loses money, it doesn’t matter.
But then the oil crisis broke out, and Hong Kong's economy declined further. The output of the United Soda Water Factory itself was not enough, and even purchasing imported carbon dioxide became a troublesome matter. The only way to sell soda in Hong Kong also led to a severe decline in Hong Kong's economy. , the number of customers also dropped significantly, coupled with the falling land prices and the continued contact with Duoli, the head of the Li family was in poor health. Due to a combination of multiple factors, and the repeated attacks of HSBC Duoli, the Li family gradually faltered. From the beginning, I was determined not to sell, but then I started to be tempted.
Shen Bi smiled and said: "If Mr. Chen considers it a financial issue, HSBC can also provide financial support."
"This is better, let's give it 25 million. How much can HSBC support?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile. Although he has money in his hands, every penny has its value. If you buy some stocks in the future, you may be able to make a fortune in a few years. Several times, now that I can use other people's money, I will naturally use it.
As for the price, Chen Zhiwen still knows that in the original history, after the death of Li Xiaohe, the Lee family sold United Soda from Hong Kong to Hong Kong century swindler Chen Songqing for HK$120 million. The latter moved the soda factory and then built it on the factory land. A building was built.
No matter what, buying land at this time is a matter of making money, making more or less, and your beverage business must not be delayed for too long. You know, after several months of debugging, Qin Zhihao's laboratory has found a solution that is almost in line with the requirements. The Red Bull drink that Chen Zhiwen remembers, and in terms of legal aspects, the trademark has been successfully registered around the world, and the Long March has successfully taken the first step.
PS: I’m alone in the house and shivering!
