I want to be a giant of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 253 [The first listed company! 】

[There was a fatal mistake in the last chapter. The information of Monaco was checked as Morocco. The storyline is completely different, it has been changed! 】

Built in the 19s, the "Sea Bath Company" (Monaco Casino) once made great contributions to Monaco's economic development, making the country's characteristic landscapes such as sunshine, beaches, sea water, and museums attractive to more and more tourists. As you know, it is indeed indispensable.

However, due to the fatigue of European aristocrats and businessmen after World War II, coupled with the poor management of the Monaco royal family, the situation has gone from bad to worse in the past ten years.

Wu Guangyao and Onassis stood on a high point, overlooking the business area of ​​the beach company, and couldn't help feeling intoxicated.

Looking around, the left side is the undulating hills with falling rocks, lush greenery and fragrant wild flowers in summer; the right side is almost always accompanied by the blue Mediterranean Sea, the sound of the waves and the white waves are enough to relieve the hard work of the journey; a row of The French-style building is full of romance and fairy tales.

"Monaco doesn't know how to manage such a beautiful place; if I manage it, I will make rich people from all over the world rush to come here and enjoy life!" Wu Guangyao couldn't help but sigh.

When Onassis next to him heard this, he immediately felt that Wu Guangyao was not lying. After all, he had inquired a lot about him in the past two years.

Leaving aside "Asian Ship King" and "Zipper King", judging from his experience in promoting diamonds in Asia, we know that this man is very good at management and marketing.

How difficult it is to sell a stone that no one knows to every young couple who will consider buying it when they get married!
Onassis did not ask about Wu Guangyao's business methods; because the two parties have not yet signed a contract, Wu Guangyao will not say anything!

The two ship tycoons jointly visited Prince Rainier III of Monaco. At this time, Rainier III was chasing a Hollywood actress Grace Kelly, so Wu Guangyao had already made preparations.

After a while of pleasantries, Rainier III said: "The two gentlemen are here, what is the matter?"

Seeing this, Wu Guangyao said first, "Your Highness, I am here to sell you a piece of jewelry, a piece of jewelry that can make a beauty fall in love with you!"

Rainier III was taken aback for a moment, this guy seemed to know about him, but he didn't make a big fuss about it!

When Rainier III was still in a daze, Wu Guangyao took out a 6-carat pink diamond ring. This is a high-quality diamond from De Beers, and it is also a rare diamond in the world; Contribution, this kind of pink diamond has collected nearly ten pieces, and all of them are pigeon eggs with more than 6 carats.

"How about it, Your Royal Highness? Diamonds symbolize eternal love, and this pink diamond ring is even rarer in the world. No matter how noble a woman is, they will fall in love with it." Wu Guangyao looked at Rainier III who was excited, and earnestly induced road.

Rainier III suppressed the greed in his heart, and said, "Mr. Wu, can you tell me a price?"

"Priceless! When a diamond has love, it is priceless! Your Royal Highness, I want to give this gift to you, and I hope that your lover will eventually get married!"

"I can't accept it! The two gentlemen came to visit me, it must be something! Then let's discuss the business first! My personal affairs are not worth mentioning." Rainier III finally regained his clarity and said calmly.

"Okay! The prince is refreshing, then let's talk straight! The business situation of the beach has declined in recent years. This has not only lost the income of Monaco's casinos, but also lost a lot of tourism income. If things go on like this, the beach will be forgotten by the world." , the Principality of Monaco also lacks tourist attractions.” Wu Guangyao said.

At this time, Onassis naturally knew that in terms of eloquence and planning, he was definitely not as strong as Wu Guangyao, so he listened with peace of mind, as he was better at communication.

After hearing Wu Guangyao's words, Rainier III did not speak, but fell into deep thought!
The two in front of me are well-known businessmen, especially Onassis, who is even a celebrity in Europe and America; if you give them experience in the beach, maybe they can really open it, then Monaco can also rely on the popularity of this beach to drive The entire tourism resource.

In the end, Rainier III gave a reply that he needed to discuss it with the parliament and the cabinet, but Wu Guangyao could see that Rainier III was already moved, and it was stable!

After all, according to history, the beach was sold to Onassis, but it was taken back by the prince in 1968; Onassis also made countless profits in the past ten years, even if it was taken back, it was not free , Monaco also gave compensation.

The pink diamond ring was finally given away. It can be seen that Rainier III will not accept this gift in vain, after all, he is the lord of a country!
Wu Guangyao and Onassis only waited for one day before they got a reply. It was a success!

Wu Guangyao and Onassis jointly invested US$2500 million to acquire the beach company.

Naturally, Wu Guangyao would not be too stupid, and paid all the US$1000 million in cash himself; instead, he directly borrowed US$600 million from HSBC Bank in London, and he only needed to pay US$400 million.

I have my own savings, but I can't spend it like this!

The next step is to sign the contract, hold a media conference, and form the team.

Half a month later
In Metro's conference room, the heads of five financial institutions, Bulling Bank, Robert Fleming (a bank related to the Morgan family), William Chilian (commercial bank), HSBC, and Prudential Insurance Group, came to Go to Metro to discuss share financing.

"President Kayla, Mr. Wu, at a valuation of 1500 million US dollars, we at HSBC have no doubts, but whether we can raise more money!" The person in charge of HSBC smiled heartily. Island HSBC is a cooperative ally, but Metro is really worth the money.

The most valuable thing about Metro is its management and operation model, which makes many financial institutions in England more optimistic.

Facts have also proved that Metro stands out among similar chain stores in recent years, with obvious advantages.

So this time, several consortiums of major commercial banks in London are here!
"Mr. Bean, you should know that we are not short of money! I chose an ally, not a speculator!" Keira said forcefully.

"Yes, I forgot Mr. Wu's huge wealth, then do as you said, we have no problem with HSBC!"

For Keira, these people are naturally very popular, especially the law firm, which is notoriously difficult to deal with!
This time, 20% of the shares will be raised, which is 300 million US dollars; 15% of the public offering will be raised, and 225 million US dollars will be raised; all the proceeds will be used for the company's development and operation.

Wu Guangyao recalled that Metro's initial capital was only 10 US dollars, and then he used the "commitment loan method" to establish a company that is worth 1500 million US dollars today. He couldn't help but sigh the power of capital.

In terms of fixed value, Metro will definitely not exceed 600 million US dollars, but Metro's assets are not only fixed assets, those intangible assets are the most expensive!

It is precisely because of this that capital flocks to it!

Metro's new shareholding ratio is: Kaila holds 45%, Wu Guangyao holds 20%, the five major financial consortiums hold 20%, and retail investors hold 15%.

The METRO brand will be officially launched in one month!

Monaco

The management team of the beach has been formed. There are three groups of people in the top management. One group is the top management talents recruited in Europe recently, and the other two groups are the cronies of Onassis and Wu Guangyao.

In order to reduce fights, 70% of the management talents are newly recruited, and the cronies of the two parties mainly play a supervisory role!
Regarding the operation of the beach, Wu Guangyao also gave some advice:
First, redecorate, add gambling items, and create entertainment facilities such as shopping centers and leisure centers;

Second, the company spends money on vehicles, yachts, and helicopters to make customers feel proud;

Third, the company trains beautiful dealers and beautiful public relations.

Fourth, invite Hollywood stars to play and increase your fame!
Wu Guangyao listed a lot of Macau experience for later generations, and asked the management team to study and implement it!
In order to renew the bathing beach, Wu Guangyao and Onassis jointly invested another US$1000 million as start-up capital.

From now on, Wu Guangyao will basically be a hands-off shopkeeper, and will not spend too much time at the beach. Even if he can bring himself millions or even tens of millions of dollars in income every year, this is not his own. business focus.

Onassis is different, he needs to receive the upper class nobles of Europe in Monaco from time to time in order to join the upper class of Europe.

It's a matter of Europe, Wu Guangyao is going back to Hong Kong Island, this time he stayed in Europe for more than a month, and there are more things to do when he goes back!
