"Then follow the rules and we will carry out loan cooperation normally." Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said indifferently.
How easy is it to get an old fox like Shen Bi, who has been in the mall for decades, to fully support a person? Historically, Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng were inspected for a long time, and only after cooperating with each other on a project were they Huang gave it to him. Although he didn't want much now, he was still too young, so young that a normal businessman would be worried.
The reason why he said it even though he knew he had no chance was actually to express his attitude and show that he had great ambitions. As long as he achieved success in the real estate field in the future, even if HSBC did not give him full support like Pao Yugang, other aspects The tilt should not be less.
"No problem." Shen Bi nodded and asked: "Sheng Chen, you said before that you wanted to sell the five-star hotel in Bali after acquiring Yonggao? Leave it to HSBC. If so, I will arrange for someone to do it now." Go to Southeast Asia to find buyers?”
"Okay, let Mr. Shen Bi arrange it." Chen Zhiwen agreed. Although a five-star hotel is in Indonesia, it still costs tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. If you can get this money back, you can use some leverage to increase it several times in the future. It's absolutely easy and much faster than making money from the tourism industry.
After chatting with Shen Bi about Hong Kong real estate for a while, Chen Zhiwen stood up and said goodbye.
After returning home, he told his parents about the acquisition of Yonggao.
As soon as Wu Xiuling heard that her son had purchased a large hotel in Central, she immediately said with a smile: "I told you that my son's achievements in the future will definitely be limitless."
"Don't be too happy too soon. It's just ownership, not management rights, otherwise it won't be Awen's turn." Chen Tianfu poured cold water on him.
"Isn't it enough to have ownership?" Wu Xiuling rolled her eyes, still happily peeling oranges for her son.
"Dad is right. The current situation is that it belongs to me in name only, but in fact I can't do anything." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.
"But you also used HSBC's money, and you didn't spend too much yourself. In a normal year, Hilton Hotel's profits would be enough to cover your loan. There are still 38 years until the contract expires, which is a bit too long. "Chen Tianfu said with some pity that he didn't know if he could live another 38 years.
"If there is a chance in the future, just buy out the contract." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile. When the time is right, Chen Zhiwen will naturally not be able to waste such a central location in Central.
"What if the Hilton Hotel disagrees?" Chen Tianfu asked casually.
"Don't agree?" Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, "Hilton is a listed company in the United States. If it doesn't work, just acquire Hilton Hotels."
"You're going to blow yourself up, you." Chen Tianfu also didn't take the cowhide seriously, picked a banana and ate it. Generally lazy people like to eat oranges and bananas, because they don't need to be washed with water, just peel them. When you eat, you won’t get your hands full of juice, and you don’t need to wash your hands after eating.
"If you don't believe it, I'll throw it away." Chen Zhiwen shrugged and took the orange from his mother.
Chen Zhiwen didn’t know how big the Hilton Hotel Group was in the 1980s, but the hotel group under this asset-light model looked very big, but in fact it was all fictitious. The market value was generally not very high, and it might not be as good as the one in Central, Hong Kong. The value of a super building is such that if the other party refuses to sell it, Chen Zhiwen would not mind playing in the US stock market.
Of course, in fact, there is no need at all. As long as you have enough influence in Hong Kong, if Hilton does not retreat, it will suffer losses every year. It is said that in the 1990s, Hilton Hotels and Li Jiacheng reached a contract buyout. One of the reasons was that Li Jiacheng controlled Powered the entire Hong Kong Island...
...
The acquisition of Yonggao Group did not attract much attention in Hong Kong. It is a company that is not listed in Hong Kong and does not have any other business in Hong Kong. The only hotels are operated by international hotel groups such as Hilton, which are closely related to local wealthy aristocrats. There is little cooperation from real estate consortiums and even banks.
When the big guys knew about this, it just became a topic of casual chat after dinner. In the eyes of many radical businessmen, this kind of transaction is a pure waste of money. Spending huge sums of money to acquire such an undisposable property is not as good as Purchase a large amount of land, quickly build a house and then pre-sell it quickly to obtain funds to continue the next cycle, so as to obtain the highest return.
Second, no matter how much you seek stable capital, you don't really like property assets that are not under your control. It's easy to acquire them, but it's difficult to sell them.
Fortunately, there is little media attention, so Chen Zhiwen has not been pushed to the front row. At least for now, he is not willing to be closely watched by the media. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to find poker friends to play cards.
However, Chen Zhiwen once again strengthened his bodyguards. In addition to a driver, he also recruited several other people to drive two cars to follow him. Anyway, there are many cars in his car dealership. Under normal circumstances, they are all one behind the other. Follow yourself and get out of the car to help at any time if anything happens.
It’s not just about safety, it’s also about interviews with reporters. In a small place like Hong Kong, there are dozens of newspapers and two TV stations. How can there be so much news in such a small city? Not to mention that it is impossible to hide the acquisition of Hilton hotel properties from reporters who are interested in investigating. The fact that Red Bull and Midea factories have recently begun large-scale recruitment in Yuen Long can attract these reporters.
Just as Chen Zhiwen predicted, when Terry Bradshaw drank Red Bull after the game, and when the 30s commercial video he shot was sent to major TV stations in the United States by the Red Bull US team for $500,000, The Red Newton aroused the interest of countless rugby fans, especially the phrase "Red Bull gives you wings", which combined with Terry Bradshaw's angel-like wings growing out of his back, and his whole body flying into the air. He directly overwhelmed everyone on the field and completed the winning goal in the last 0.6 seconds.
The advertising slogan was given by Chen Zhiwen. He knew that Red Bull had used this sentence for decades in its original history. It was not until 2014 that a user sued him saying that he did not grow wings after drinking Red Bull, and it was finally discontinued. Before that, , this advertising slogan is very effective. Many times, a brand will take off because of an advertising slogan.
For example, I won’t accept gifts during the holidays this year.
With the demand for Red Bull, coupled with the previous operations of Red Bull US sales staff, many supermarkets and traders came to seek cooperation. This naturally brought a large number of orders, making the entire Hong Kong factory overwhelmed, and even the United Soda Drink Factory was shut down. In addition to the original several beverage production lines, it also began to import new high-capacity new beverage production lines from RB.
