"This room is really nice." Chen Zhiwen said while standing in front of an independent office with sea view, basking in the sun and stretching.
"Qi Dezun prepared this for you, but you drove him away with your backhand." Chen Tianfu said with a smile.
"You can bribe me with just one office?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile: "We can't get rid of him. We have to be decisive about this kind of thing, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
"That's true." Chen Tianfu nodded, looked downstairs and said, "Are there so many reporters downstairs?"
"I have already sent ice water to them. They can stay as long as they want. When the shareholders' meeting is held and the matter is settled, the heat will be over and our family can live a normal life." Chen Zhiwen smiled. He said: "But you can never go out alone again. Don't feel troublesome about the bodyguards I assigned you. Your own safety is the most important thing. Hong Kong is much better than before, but there are still chaotic people."
After Governor MacLehose took office in Hong Kong, he did a good job in public security. Later, he established the Independent Commission Against Corruption to crack down on the inside, which caused many protective umbrellas to disappear. All gangs became more honest, but there are always some brainless people, especially They are some people who work alone, and those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. Many rich people suffered in the 80s and 90s in later generations, and now it will only be worse in the 1970s.
Therefore, Chen Zhiwen attaches great importance to safety. When he was low-key before, it didn't matter. Now the acquisition of Hutchison has suddenly become a hot topic in Hong Kong. The wealth is exciting, so he specially hired several experts from the police station at a high price. Elite police officers who protect witnesses provide guidance, coupled with dozens of professional bodyguards to form the Chen family's security team.
"I know, now we are followed by two cars before and after we travel. We usually don't go to remote places, but your mother always says that we are not used to being surrounded by people." Chen Tianfu said with a smile.
"Actually, it's just a matter of habit. It won't matter after a long time." Chen Zhiwen said with a shrug.
"Then you are going to move to Hutchison to work in the future?" Chen Tianfu asked.
"No, Xu Jinhong is discussing with Swire Properties and is planning to acquire the land at Admiralty. I plan to build a building there to serve as the headquarters of Midea, Red Bull and Galaxy. Hutchison will remain the same as before. When and Remember to get rid of the debt crisis here, and let professional managers take care of it." Chen Zhiwen said.
Chen Tianfu asked: "So, you still value your companies more than Hutchison?"
"Hutchison is a mature elephant. I just need to tell him the direction. Besides, I don't understand Hutchison's business, so there is no need to participate in its management." Chen Zhiwen said.
In the future, he will set several main business directions for Hutchison Group, and then just make occasional revisions. In terms of importance, Hutchison or the future Wharf will be far inferior to Midea, Red Bull, Galaxy or the good markets in the United States. Many.
The reason why they want to acquire Hutchison and Wharf is actually because of the huge real estate reserves in their hands. After the acquisition, they only need to spend a small amount of energy and financial investment to continue to obtain stable and generous returns in the future, and these returns will be in In the future, companies such as Midea and Costco will be provided with sufficient funds to compete with the giants in these industries.
The second purpose is to acquire large British-funded foreign companies, which can also greatly increase their reputation. When the northern mainland reforms and opens up, enough reputation can be of great use. Otherwise, Midea and Red Bull will be considered An upstart.
In Hong Kong, a large number of real estate, infrastructure, and port businesses are the foundation. Although it is vulgar, it is a fact.
"Are you sure that Hutchison's current debt problem will be solved?" Chen Tianfu asked.
"Don't worry, I'm absolutely sure." Chen Zhiwen said with a slight smile.
"If you weren't my son, I wouldn't be optimistic about you. Now the stock market is very bearish on Hutchison." Chen Tianfu said.
"If it declines, it will decline. The worse it gets, the better. The lower the stock price, the lower the cost of privatization will be for me in the future." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.
"You!" Chen Tianfu shook his head
At the same time, on the second floor of Hutchison Building: the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
"No, Qi Dezun was driven away by Chen Zhiwen." A young man hurriedly ran in from outside and reported to his leader.
"What? Is this guy mentally retarded?" The leader said in a daze: "Isn't this asking Hutchison to die?"
The young man said: "Then what should we do?"
"Notify the customer that he has sold all the Hutchison stocks in his hand. I feel that I won't play anymore." The leader said quickly.
"Okay," the young man hurriedly ran away again. This is the stock exchange. Running here to deliver information may be faster than making a phone call.
"The acquisition of a British-funded foreign company is just a mess. If it could have been saved, Jardine and Swire would have acquired it long ago." A newspaper was thrown on the table, which was the page promoting the Chinese investment in the British-owned foreign company.
In the afternoon, on the rooftop of a high-rise residential building in Kowloon, a curly-haired man drank beer and didn't care at all about the scorching sun above his head.
"Creak." The door to the rooftop entrance was opened, and another person walked in. After taking a look, he found the curly-haired man, hurriedly walked up to him, and said, "Old Qian, what are you doing here?"
"I originally wanted to go to the rooftop of Hutchison Building, but people are not allowed to go up there, so I have to come here." Some drunk old money cried with incomprehensible laughter.
"Stop drinking, we'll just lose once. We'll find another chance to win it back in the future." The visitor grabbed the bottle while paying attention to Lao Qian, for fear that he would suddenly stand up.
Fortunately, Lao Qian had drunk a lot of wine and said in a daze: "Old Wang, I should have listened to you in the first place. It would have been better to throw it away. I was too greedy, too greedy."
After saying that, he burst into tears and hugged his head and cried. Lao Wang on the side didn’t know what to say. At first, he felt that Hutchison’s stock was wrong and he immediately withdrew it. However, Lao Qian refused to listen to him and almost had a falling out. In the end, he acquired Hutchison Behind it was a Chinese, which caused Hutchison's stock to plummet.
"When we entered the market, Hutchison's stock price was not high, so you shouldn't have lost much, right?" Lao Wang consoled him.
"I didn't lose much that time." Lao Qian seemed to be unable to sit still, and his body was shaking.
"That time? Did you come in again later?" Lao Wang was shocked.
"Yes, the stock price plummeted. Although I didn't make any money, I actually didn't lose much. But I was unwilling to accept that the 2 million yuan in income was just gone." Lao Qian said while crying: "Later I heard from my friends that Red Bull owned by Chen Zhiwen has very high profits and will definitely have abundant cash flow. After acquiring Hutchison, it will definitely be possible to inject capital, and Hutchison’s stock will definitely rise.”
"So, you bought Hutchison again?" Lao Wang was a little dumbfounded. He lost once. Even if you want to make money, can't you buy other stocks?
"I didn't buy Hutchison. I mortgaged the house and bought Hutchison with leverage." Lao Qian said helplessly: "As a result, news came from the market this morning. After Chen Zhiwen arrived at Hutchison Building, the first thing he did was to cancel it. Qi Dezun, it was said that he wanted to take action against all the management, and the stock price plummeted immediately. The bank asked me to increase the margin, but in such a short period of time, it was too late, and then the position was forcibly closed, but because the time was too short, the bank I also lost 50,000 yuan, and now I have to pay back the 50,000 yuan. My house is gone, and I still owe a lot of debt!"
"." Lao Wang was speechless for a while. With this method of betting your own house, you can ride in the stock market for as long as you win, but as long as you lose once, you will lose everything.
After thinking for a while, Lao Wang said: "Don't be sad. I will pay off your debts for you first. If you want the house, I will go to the bank to get it back for you. Don't play so big again in the future. Just take it when you want." Leave yourself a way out."
After being brothers for 20 years, it is really impossible for Lao Wang to watch his best friend become devastated.
"Don't worry about me. My wife has already taken the children to the UK. It's okay. She bought a property in the UK before. Otherwise, our family wouldn't even have a place to live." Lao Qian said with a bitter smile: "I won't care. How can I come to see them if I am still alive? My daughter won’t be able to go to a private school because of me, and I’m afraid she won’t even have the money to study abroad in the future.”
"There are still seven or eight years left, what are you afraid of?" Lao Wang said: "In this way, I will lend you 200,000, and we will speculate in real estate. We will not touch stocks in the future. I think houses in Hong Kong are much safer than stocks."
"Real estate speculation?" Lao Qian's eyes once again had some hope and he said, "The real estate market does seem to be recovering now."
"Yes, although the stock market is also rising, many of the hundreds of stocks will fall. But houses are different. No matter whether the market is rising or falling, ordinary houses will move in the same direction as the market. The entire housing market will not rise. , house prices in some communities are falling.
Based on our experience of more than ten years, as long as we focus on the direction of real estate speculation, how difficult is it to make another few million? Lao Wang said confidently: "After a few years, if you make it again, you can naturally find your daughter and give her a happy life. Otherwise, if you continue to be so decadent, you are going to let your daughter work in a factory in the future." Sewing machine? "
"That's right, I want to speculate in real estate." Lao Qian sent the letterhead and said, "Real estate speculation is the future of Hong Kong."
"Yes, this is my brother. Let's go speculating in real estate together." Lao Wang laughed and said, "Let's go eat hot pot."
I'll change it to daytime updates in the future. It might be better. I know everyone is fishing while at work.
