Reborn Tycoon Rise

As the Governor of Hong Kong and also the organizer of this place, MacLehose was naturally pressed for time. After a few official words with Xu Zhi, he shook hands and said goodbye.

Bao Fuda did not leave, but said to Xu Zhi: "We haven't seen each other for only half a year. I never thought that Xu Sheng would soon become the richest man in Hong Kong. How amazing!"

Xu Zhidao: "Both and each other, the sales of our new Midea games in the UK are not bad, and Mr. Bao Fuda has also made a lot of money!"

Xu Zhi also deliberately raised his voice when he heard this. Bao Fuda's expression changed immediately when he heard this, and he quickly said: "It's thanks to Xu Sheng!"

Xu Zhi also knew that this guy didn't want others to know about the distribution, so he smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

Bao Fuda clearly could have left with MacLehose, but he stayed here. Xu Zhi didn't believe that this guy stayed to chat with him.

Bao Fuda nodded and said, "There is a cooperation that I would like to discuss with Xu Sheng."

"What kind of cooperation? Do you still want to develop other European markets?" Xu Zhi said: "It's a bit late now."

"Xu Sheng's steps were too fast!" Bao Fuda said in a deep voice.

After obtaining the exclusive distribution rights in the UK, Bao Fuda and other staff in the UK successfully developed the entire market. When the tank war appeared, it also caused a sensation in the UK, and the entire team made a lot of money.

According to the original agreement, Bao Fuda and others could develop the market in other European countries. However, when they were preparing to lay out their plans, they discovered that Midea had already signed distribution agreements with local figures in Germany, France, Switzerland and other countries, leaving only some small European countries. Follow the trade routes.

Xu Zhi said: "Of course, do you still expect that our company will not develop the market and wait for you? Now there are still opportunities in some small European countries. You can try it, otherwise everything will be ruined if it is later. Gone!"

"Let's not talk about this matter for now." Bao Fuda shook his head and said: "This time, on behalf of the Land Group, I want to ask Xu Sheng for a loan. I heard that one of Xu Sheng's movies made hundreds of millions of dollars!"

"Lending?" Xu Zhidao said: "Why don't you borrow money from the bank?"

Bao Fuda said: "The financing methods are just different, there is no reason why."

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "If I am allowed to invest in Real Estate, this can be discussed, but the loan is exempted!"

Bao Fuda said: "Xu Sheng, don't you want to hear our conditions? The interest rate will never be lower than that of the bank!"

Xu Zhidao: "Only the poor in this world can earn more from their investments than banks. Mr. Bao Fuda, do you think I am a poor person?"

Bao Fuda thought for a while and said: "If Xu Sheng wants to invest in Land, it is not impossible, but it can only be preferred shares without voting rights. Other dividends are the same as normal stocks. Is this okay?"

"I want to go back and discuss it with my men!" Xu Zhi wanted to refuse directly, but now is the most sensitive moment for Yihe. Wharf, one of the two wings, is being targeted by Bao Yugang, the richest man in China. This time he asked himself about the loan, which is probably the same. The reason is that Land is indeed a fast-growing fat pig, but it is not the best time to kill pigs yet.

Seeing that he was not rejected, Bao Fuda nodded with satisfaction and said: "Xu Sheng, this party is also a rare opportunity. Just now you have met many Chinese rich people. Now I will take you to meet the senior executives of major British-funded foreign companies. .”

"Okay, thank you!" Xu Zhi nodded and said.

Throughout the party, the British were obviously not on the same page as the Chinese. At a glance, there was almost no group that included both Chinese and white people.

There are currently four major foreign banks in Xiangjiang, namely: Jardine Matheson, Hutchison Whampoa, Swire and Wheelock. Although the projects operated by these four major foreign banks have many overlaps, each of them has a different main business.

Jardine's main businesses are Land and Wharf, and it controls a large number of high-quality commercial buildings in Central.

Hutchison Whampoa's main businesses are ports, terminals and retail.

Swire's main business is Cathay Pacific Airways.

Wheelock's main business is navigation and shipping.

In addition to the main business, these major foreign banks have also entered the real estate industry because they have been in business for a long time and own a large amount of land. However, selling houses is always a Chinese patent. Even the four major foreign banks have either been beaten to the bottom by a few major Chinese businessmen or they have been obedient. Establish a joint venture to develop land together with Chinese capital.

In an era when real estate dominated Hong Kong's economy, Xu Zhi's main business was industry. Different from traditional Chinese capital, there was no direct conflict of interest with the four major foreign banks. Coupled with Bao Fuda's identity, the senior executives of several major foreign banks could be considered as To save face, Xu Zhidu and I got to know each other, but after all, they were not in the same group, and they soon separated.

Bao Fuda then led Xu Zhi to a white-haired white man and said, "Sheng Xu, this is Mr. Shen Bi, the senior manager of HSBC. Mr. Shen Bi, this is Mr. Xu Zhi, the founder of Midea!"

"Hello Xu Sheng," Shen Bi said politely.

"Mr. Shen Bi, I have long admired your name." Xu Zhiye said politely.

Speaking of the old man in front of me, he has a special title in later generations of Xiangjiang, that is, the Egg Man, because he has white skin and a yellow heart.

The most obvious act was that in September 1979, that is, five months later, Shen Bi transferred 90 million shares of Hutchison Whampoa held by HSBC to Li Jiacheng's Cheung Kong Holdings, which established Li Jiacheng's She Tun Xiang business. This feat is also the first time that Chinese capital has taken over a British-owned foreign company.

Next year, when Yihe and Bao Yugang competed for the Wharf, Shen Bi directly loaned HK$2.1 billion to Bao Yugang without any mortgage, creating the business myth that the shipping king abandoned his ship and landed.

If these things were reversed, and a Chinese bank president helped the British do the same two things, he would probably be immediately labeled as the biggest traitor. However, Shen Bi's point of view is: I am a businessman, and I am only responsible for my company!

Of course, there are other reasons for this. For example, Hutchison Whampoa's Weili is increasingly not in the eyes of HSBC, the major shareholder, and Jardine Matheson's continuous expansion has threatened HSBC's status as the largest conglomerate in Hong Kong.

Shen Bi said: "HSBC's most successful investment over the years has been its cooperation with countless young talents in Hong Kong. Xu Sheng had a cooperation with HSBC last year. I hope we can have more contacts in the future."

"No problem, my subsidiary Evergrande is about to enter the real estate industry, and we will need to cooperate more with HSBC in the future." Xu Zhi nodded.

Shen Bi smiled and said: "Yes, Evergrande will definitely get the best preferential interest rate."

Xu Zhi turned to Bao Fuda and said: "Mr. Bao Fuda, I want to discuss a big cooperation with Mr. Shen Bi. I don't know..."

Bao Fuda was stunned for a moment, then understood and said, "Okay, I'll go get something to eat, and you guys can chat slowly."
