My 1999

"Mr. Xu, Huang Yizong asked me to hand this over to you when I left just now."

"Huang Yizong? Mr. Huang's eldest son?"

"Yes. And there are rumors that Mr. Huang intends to let him take over and take charge of United Overseas Bank."

Xu Liang nodded, took the file and opened it, looked at it twice, and smiled on his face.

"The Huang family's gifts are not cheap."

"Mr. Xu, it's just an old apartment covering an area of ​​5,091 square meters. It's not even worth S$30 million. Isn't this price low?"

"If before tonight, I had the same idea as you."

Looking at the document, Xu Liang's eyes showed a hint of interest.

When chatting this evening, Huang Yaozu mentioned to him the Singapore CBD revitalization plan.

Because of Taihua Real Estate and New Century Real Estate, he is no longer a novice real estate agent. When it comes to the revitalization of a country's CBD, it means the transfer of a large number of land parcels and astonishing benefits.

If we catch it, Taihua Real Estate can take root locally.

It's a pity that Huang Zuyao, an old fox, is too cunning. When he wanted to ask questions, he started to talk to him. It was obvious that he didn't let the eagle see the rabbit.

Xu Liang also suppressed his mood. He was not a newbie in the shopping mall. He could still keep calm in front of this little trick.

Playing with the information in his hand, he pondered for a moment and then called Li Haizhen.

"Mr. Xu."

"How have you considered the matter I mentioned to you last time in the capital?"

Ever since Hongmeng decided to spin off the company's Internet cafe business at its annual meeting, the candidate for the subsidiary has become the most important issue for him and Xie Wen to solve.

Because Hongmeng Zhongnan Company has the largest number of Internet cafes and is developing extremely fast, Li Haizhen, who is in charge of Zhongnan Company, became the most suitable candidate.

But whether it can work in the end depends on whether Li Haizhen is willing.

The melon that is forced is not sweet, and it also delays the development of the company.

"Mr. Xu, if I go to Hongmeng Network, how much support can I get?"

"With US$300 million in development funds and loosening restrictions, Internet cafes can expand to any market as long as you want."

Previously, Hongmeng's Internet cafe business was only concentrated in small markets such as Southeast Asia and South Asia. Countries such as China, Japan and South Korea basically did not enter.

This restriction is now lifted.

Li Haizhen is a smart person, and he has a taste of this change.

"Mr. Xu, will Hongmeng Network be listed separately?"

"You are indeed a smart man. I discussed it with Mr. Xie and decided to launch Hongmeng Network's listing plan on Nasdaq next year."

Li Haizhen's eyes lit up instantly.

"Mr. Xu, I am willing to serve as the executive president of Hongmeng Network Technology."

He is not a fool.

Although Hongmeng Zhongnan subsidiary has greater power than Hongmeng Network Technology, the latter will never be listed separately.

The social status brought by the position of CEO of a listed company is not comparable to that of Hongmeng Zhongnan Company.

"Okay, call Mr. Xie tomorrow and tell him your decision."

"OK."

"By the way, Kunlun Computer's business will be spun off from Netcom and established as an independent subsidiary."

Li Haizhen's breathing suddenly became faster.

"Mr. Xu, Kunlun Computer is an important business of Netcom. If it is divested..."

Xu Liang interrupted him, "Otherwise, why do you think the company would give you US$300 million in development funds?"

This money was used to acquire Kunlun Computer.

Speaking of which, Kunlun Computer was born by mistake.

At the beginning, in order to develop the Internet cafe business and reduce the cost of computer procurement, Hongmeng used its influence to obtain accessories from major manufacturers around the world, and then assembled its own computers for use in Internet cafes.

Under the protection of Hongmeng's strong technical capabilities, although the hardware technology of this computer is not high, its stability is excellent, coupled with some self-developed applications and system patches, the two are combined.

Over the past two years, Kunlun Computer has become very good.

Coupled with the low price, not only our own company, but also many domestic Internet cafes have become customers of Kunlun Computer.

It even has a certain popularity in the personal computer market.

Especially this year, 57,000 units were sold on Yihaodian in the past three months. Although it is not as good as Lenovo, Founder, and Shenzhou, it is still a good brand.

So after the annual meeting, Xie Wen approached him to discuss spinning off Kunlun Computer from within the company, establishing an independent subsidiary, and further expanding the assembly factory in Yidu.

No longer limited to simple accessories such as keyboards, mice, data cables, and chassis, we are also preparing to produce motherboards and power supplies with a bit of technical content.

Moreover, two new production lines were added to increase the output to 300,000 units/year.

At the same time, Kunlun Computer's product line is expanded. In addition to Kunlun, which sells for 3,000 yuan, it also redesigns a mid-range computer "Yuxu" priced at around 5,000 yuan.

Although Xu Liang had never planned to let Hongmeng enter the hardware business, now that he had a certain foundation and Xie Wen wanted to start it, he had no objection.

Hongmeng is now a super-large incubator.

As long as it is a mature business, you can throw it out and develop it yourself.

If you become better, if you don't, you will be laid off.

Although Li Haizhen was unwilling, he could only accept it now that the matter had come to this.

"Lao Li, you have been in Singapore for a few years. Do you know many people at the government level?"

"I met a lot of people when I attended some business cocktail parties."

After Xu Liang nodded, "Do you know the Singapore CBD revitalization plan?"

"I vaguely seem to have heard of it, but I'm not from the real estate industry, so I didn't go out of my way to inquire about it."

"Use your connections to help me ask about this."

"Okay. I will notify you as soon as there is news."

"Um."

"Mr. Xu, it seems that this CBD revitalization plan is highly confidential." Lu Hui said.

"If matters involving major interests are not kept secret, the entire real estate market will be in chaos."

If the news spreads and the land is heated up, how can big real estate developers enter the market in advance to harvest?

They all live on Nathan Road, not far from Qiu's house to Xu's house.

When he came back, An Kaiyue had already finished taking a shower and was getting ready to go to bed.

He briefly shared with her about the meeting in the evening and coaxed her to sleep.

Xu Liang went to the study room to deal with work emails.

In fact, he doesn't have to deal with these work emails. Most of them are daily affairs of some affiliated companies.

When it comes to strategic decisions, documents will be directly submitted to Lu Hui, not simply sent by email.

But through these emails, he can understand the progress of various businesses of his companies.

Day-to-day management can be hands-off, but understanding.

…

The next day.

After accompanying An Kaiyue for a walk and handing it over to my mother, Lu Hui came over and said.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Huang Yaozu called and hopes to visit you tomorrow."

"I thought he was going to hang me for two days, but I didn't expect that he couldn't help it so quickly." Xu Liang said.

"I guess he also knows that with your connections in Singapore, it's impossible to hide this kind of thing for too long."

"Um."

Xu Liang pondered for a moment, "Reply him, I agree. Let him come tomorrow."

"OK."

"Any thing else?"

An Kaiyue handed over a document.

"This is the soybean sales report submitted by Mr. Qiu Mingcheng of Harvest Agriculture, as well as the acquisition status of domestic oil-extracting companies."

Xu Liang took it and looked at it carefully.

He quickly returned to the study and took out his cell phone to call Qiu Mingcheng.

"Mr. Xu."

"The international soybean price still remains at 9,000?"

"The latest quote for soybean futures on the Chicago Board of Trade this morning is 29.23/bushel, equivalent to 9,012 yuan/ton."

"I didn't expect that even though we sold more than a thousand tons of soybeans, the price of soybeans was not brought down," Xu Liang sighed.

"Mr. Xu, we have been selling in small quantities for half a year. Although it has an impact on the price of soybeans, it is still too small compared to the huge international hot money.

And the key to this soybean war is the four major grain merchants.

If they don't relent, this war will not end. "

“How many soybeans do we still have?”

"There are 15 million tons left."

Xu Liang nodded.

The soybeans he took over from Hanhua totaled 26.9 million tons.

Before the Chinese New Year, about 4.5 million tons were sold, making a net profit of about 6.75 billion Chinese dollars.

From the Chinese New Year to now, in the past two months, another 7 million tons have been sold.

Because the price of soybeans has remained at a high of 9,000 this time, I made more money.

Excluding Hanhua's cost of 6,000 yuan per ton when sold.

The average net profit per ton is about 3,000 yuan.

Xu Liang silently calculated that there were almost 21 billion Chinese coins, equivalent to 2.54 billion U.S. dollars.

In other words, since taking over the soybeans held by Hanhua, he has made a profit of 27.75 billion Huaxia coins and recovered US$69 billion in costs.

"Mr. Xu, I think 15 million tons of soybeans is a bit too much."

"Why?"

“During this time, I conducted a sample survey of global soybean cultivation.

It was found that stimulated by high prices, the number of acres of soybeans planted globally increased by about 30% compared with last year, and in China it increased by about 50% to 60%.

Barring a major natural disaster, soybean prices will definitely hit rock bottom this year.

Therefore, I think we should further reduce our holdings of soybeans to avoid losses. "

Xu Liang became silent.

If soybean prices fall back to their original prices.

Then he will lose about 3,500 yuan per ton of soybeans, or even more.

At that time, not only will all the profits made in the past six months be paid back, but an additional 24.75 billion Chinese dollars will be lost.

Too much.

Thinking of this, he sighed inwardly.

He thought that the continued increase in soybean prices would stimulate farmers' enthusiasm for planting, but he did not expect that it would increase so much all at once!

This sudden accident disrupted his plan.

"Mingcheng, we have too many soybeans in stock. It is basically impossible to release them all without affecting international soybean prices."

The four major grain merchants are not good people.

The reason why they tolerate Xu Liang making money on soybeans is based on the premise that he does not smash the market and does not disrupt the general trend of rising soybeans.

If so many sell orders are added at once, the price collapses.

Everyone just refuses to die.

Although he has developed a deep network of contacts in the West through Hanhua, the four major grain merchants are not vegetarians.

If the other party joins forces, his business around the world will definitely suffer heavy losses.

He will definitely not take this step until the end.

"Mr. Xu, I have a solution to our dilemma."

"you say."

“Recently, the four major grain merchants have been in contact with domestic oil companies and signed supply agreements with them, and the prices are very high. It is conceivable that when soybean prices avalanche, the liquidated damages in these supply agreements will be enough to bankrupt these oil companies.

We can take the same path and provide them with the soybeans we have at a lower price. "

Xu Liang's heart trembled.

He understood what Qiu Mingcheng meant.
