Chapter 161 The compatibility and disagreement with Li Chaoren(1/2)
In the end, he was forced to protect the wealth of Qishan Commune in a si-enhancing manner. This was probably the most unspeakable pain in Yang Shaozong's heart. He was suffering because the country was so distorted that a very strong leader dared to do such things directly.
Perhaps it is difficult for the second Ji Changyu to appear in Qizhou, but to be honest, no one is not afraid. If Luo Fu had not betrayed Ji Changyu for the sake of five million yuan, it would be very difficult to defeat Ji Changyu.
Surprising results, surprising developments have made a new story of wealth.
Yang Shaozong now recalled that he felt that he had at least realized one dream, that is, to make all Qishan people rich, but this did not solve more problems, and more ideals were destroyed by the power of an administrative official.
This ending was something that Yang Shaozong could not have expected. When he first met Ji Changyu, Yang Shaozong never thought that one day this person would ruin the dream of Qishan people. In fact, until Yang Shaozong arrived over Hong Kong by plane, he was still thinking about this issue.
He really couldn't understand what Ji Changyu thought in his heart. Is there really such a person in controlling Zhongqi Company? He even nationalized Zhongqi Company?
He couldn't understand because he was not Ji Changyu.
In short, all this has become the past.
After arriving in Hong Kong, after attending the wedding banquet held by Cheng Yu-tung for them, Yang Shaozong and Xiao Wei continued to stay in Hong Kong to travel everywhere. As if no one was around, they can finally buy the things they like.
Hong Kong is still very far away, and it is not easy to come to Hong Kong now. When Xiao Wei returns to Qishan, she also has to bring you a lot of gifts from Miyue travel, and she bought a lot.
Life is so happy and wonderful for both of them. After all, they can manage their family life in a happy harbor.
After playing for a few days, Yang Shaozong started talking about business with Qian Jiawei and Hu Zuming at the headquarters of Hong Kong Zhongqi International Investment Company. As Hong Kong real estate prices rose again, in this wave, Zhongqi International Investment Company had transferred most of the real estate in its hands.
The Hong Kong Exhibition Centre, which was purchased from New World Group in 1991 for HK$2.7 billion, was resold to New World Group and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, with a selling price of HK$6.2 billion, an increase of 23 times compared with the purchase in 1991.
The most profitable thing about other dozen buildings that have been purchased at low prices in the first half of Q is to buy Chongqing Building.
While continuing to sell real estate, Zhongqi International Investment Company re-aligned its main direction of business and continued to merge the former Sun Hung Kai Bank and Zhejiang No. 1 Bank to raise Zhongqi Bank's performance in Hong Kong to the top ten levels of the industry. More funds began to flow to technology stocks in the United States and Taiwan.
At present, the total assets of Zhongqi International Investment Company in Hong Kong are approximately HK$11.7 billion. Its Zhongqi Bank has successfully listed a backdoor listing. It still retains the Benda Center acquired by Benda Group as the headquarters of Zhongqi Bank and Zhongqi International Investment Company, and renames Benda Center Zhongqi Bank Building.
The Benda Center was built in 1987 and designed by American architectural designer Paul Rudolph. It was called the tree of the cherry bear by the original owner Aaron Yi Benda and others. It adopts the structural layout of Shuangmuxing is also one of the three most famous buildings that are as famous as the Bank of China Building in Hong Kong in the 1990s. It is regarded as the iconic building complex of Hong Kong.
Benda Group encountered a crisis of tightening the capital chain at the end of 1991 and began to sell its properties in July 1993. At that time, it had encountered serious bankruptcy risks. Many of the most famous corporate groups that wanted to buy Benda Center were Libao Group, which was rooted in Indonesia like Jinguang Group.
At that time, Li Wenzheng, the second shareholder of Indonesian Libao Group, visited China on behalf of Indonesian Chinese businessmen. At that time, Yang Shaozong happened to be among the people in charge of receiving them. On such an occasion, Yang Shaozong made a Hanxuan for Zhongqi International Investment Company.
Considering that the relationship behind Zhongqi International Investment Company is relatively complicated, Libao Group finally withdrew from the bidding, which made Zhongqi International Investment Company, which took action halfway, get a big advantage and buy the Benda Center for only HK$775 million. One of the Gemini Buildings is left for Zhongqi International Investment Company and Zhongqi Bank as its office, and the other is rented to affiliated companies such as Qizhen, Qifang, and Naais as its stations in Hong Kong.
In 1993, Hong Kong Real Estate, which suffered heavy losses due to the rectification of the mainland's financial order, quickly recovered and created several amazing real estate transactions in the concave year, causing the real estate market to soar.
It was at this peak that Zhongzhongqi International Investment Company began to transfer all the real estate it held, and a large amount of profits cashed out were turned to US Technology Co., Ltd.
This time when he came to Hong Kong, Yang Shaozong actually intended to establish the US branch of Zhongqi International Investment Company in the United States. The actual person in charge may be Qian Jiawei or Hu Zuming.
In the past few days, he has been discussing in detail with Qian Jiawei and Hu Zuming. He was open and honest. The US branch must be under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong headquarters, but the future business of the US branch will inevitably have more room for development and must have real power to the Hong Kong headquarters.
Therefore, no matter who among them takes on this position, it seems to be an equal position within the Zhongqi Group, and you only need to directly report to the Zhongqi Group headquarters represented by Yang Shaozong.
That afternoon, accompanied by Vice Chairman Ning of China Resources Group, Yang Shaozong met with Huang Hongnian, general manager of Zhongce Company who returned from the United States at Zhongqi Bank Building. After Zhongce Company's acquisition was banned, under the instructions of the State-owned Assets Office of the State Council, China Resources Group has been responsible for contacting Zhongce Company and trying to repurchase these state-owned assets.
To be honest, China Resources Group has a very strong capital force and is absolutely capable of doing this. The problem is that China Resources Group must be very careful in quoting. According to the requirements of the State-owned Assets Office, completing tasks with reasonable and reasonable means that China Resources Group cannot quote too high prices and cannot continue to be blackmailed once.
At this time, Zhongce Company and Huang Hongnian were both positioned as the national scum by the State-owned Assets Office, which is also a major reason why Huang Hongnian was unable to return to China to do business.
The State-owned Assets Office means to sell it back at the original price, and we agree that you will continue to return to China to do business, but Huang Hongnian is unwilling to make at least ten times the price he negotiated with the United States.
He would rather make these ten times the huge profits than care whether he could return to China to do business. He was also very proficient in domestic politics. Many things were temporary. If he changed to a leader, everything would change.
Just after China Resources Group and Zhongce Company had a complete stuttering, Yang Shaozong's arrival in Hong Kong again made China Resources Group feel some new hope, so it was necessary to invite Zhongqi Group and Yang Shaozong to negotiate together.
To be honest, Yang Shaozong's influence is actually higher than that of Zhongqi International Investment Company, a branch of China Resources Group Zhongqi Group in Hong Kong, has now crossed the 10 billion-level company, and the scale of the parent company is even more considerable.
Just in the original Building A of the Benda Center, and now the Zhongqi Bank Building, Yang Shaozong finally met Huang Hongnian himself, which did not surprise Yang Shaozong. In fact, Huang Hongnian himself is also a 45 or 6-year-old man with a good spirit, a very rosy face, a very compact facial features, and a baby-faced look. He looks very sincere, and he still vaguely retains the traces of educated youth who once went to the countryside to work in the countryside.
Ting saw Yang Shaozong himself unexpectedly, but Huang Hongnian couldn't laugh. He could have made tens of billions of profits in China, and it was a real huge profit. He made a huge profit with nothing, but it was all ended by Yang Shaozong and Zhongqi Company.
This annoyed him for a long time.
No matter what, in business, Yang Shaozong is the one he can't afford to offend. As long as he still works in the Chinese business circle, one day, Yang Shaozong will definitely be a person and topic that he cannot avoid. This is an increasingly obvious trend. Unlike a few years ago, it is difficult for Mou Zhongqian to claim to be the richest man in the mainland. Everyone began to pass on this title to Yang Shaozong, chairman of Zhongqi Group after the successful shareholding reform without hesitation.
Compared with Mou Zhongzhe, Yang Shaozong's greatest ability is not only to make himself rich, but also to make more than 90,000 members in the entire small town step into the wealth line of 100,000 assets, and also to drive a group of millionaires, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of millions of people.
This phenomenon of common prosperity is called the "Yang phenomenon" throughout the country and in Hong Kong.
In short, Yang Shaozong is a trap.
As soon as everyone sat down, Yang Shaozong personally gave to General Ning, Huang Hongnian and Qian Jiawei accompanied him,
Hu Zuming made tea. A few days ago, he had just discussed Chaozhou tea art with Li Chaoren, a Hong Kong businessman from Chaozhou, and happened to learn how to do it.
Hong Kong people have a very fast pace of life, and their tea drinking process is not as particular as Taiwanese people. Including Li Chaoren himself did not drink Chaozhou Gongfu Tea in his youth. This was when he later learned from others when he was dealing with the Chaozhou businessman Chen Bichen in Thailand.
Huang Hongnian is from Quanzhou and has a deep Kung Fu tea culture in his family. He is very particular about this craft. He looked at Yang Shaozong's craftsmanship briefly, and he felt that Yang Shaozong's skill was not yet accurate enough. At most, he would happily look at the skills of an amateur.
Of course, he didn't have to expose it. Anyway, Yang Shaozong said that he was learning and selling as soon as he came up.
Yang Shaozong happened to soak the tea. Before he could speak, the secretary of the secretariat outside the conference room hurried in. The female secretary, who looked 27 or 28 years old, had the best posture and figure, and had a vague look like a royal sister, Yang Shaozong knew that this woman's surname was Su. In fact, Qian Jiawei's senior assistant had a special attitude at Zhongqi International, and her education and ability were impeccable. However, she looked quite surprised, even a little panicked.
As soon as she entered the door, she ignored the other people in the conference room and Qian Jiawei, the immediate boss, and directly reported to Yang Shaozong: "Mr. Yang, Mr. Li of Changjiang Industrial, called to meet you in person........... Do you want to transfer the phone number?"
Yang Shaozong looked up slightly and looked at her for a moment before getting up to answer the phone, saying, "You can transfer it in!"
"OK!"
Senior assistant Su Meimei hurriedly agreed and immediately turned around and transferred the phone into the conference room.
Ning Zong, Qian Jiawei and Hu Zuming were inevitably a little surprised. After all, Li Chaoren is not an ordinary person, and his relationship with Zhongce Company is not simple. When you call in at this time, you might have some special thoughts!
Yang Shaozong looked up and found that Huang Hongnian was not very surprised.
After answering the phone, he and Li Chaoren asked with a smile: "Mr. Li, I haven't seen each other for two days. Do you have any new business to support our Zhongqi?"
Mr. Li also smiled and said, "Good businesses need to support each other and take care of each other. I heard that you and Mr. Huang Hongnian are discussing the contracts of Zhongce Company again. I am actually quite interested in these businesses, especially cement industries. The cement industry in the mainland is so big, it must be more than thousands of times that of Hong Kong. Everyone can cooperate! Mr. Yang, if you don't mind letting me participate, I want to talk to your Zhongqi International headquarters now!"
Yang Shaozong thought for a while and said, "Of course we can talk about it. It is very welcome. Where are you now?"
Mr. Li smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't give you any notice in advance. I'm in the public telephone booth downstairs of your Zhongqi Company. Since you are willing to invite me, we will meet on time in five minutes. Please wait for me upstairs!"
"Oh, OK!"
Yang Shaozong nodded, hung up the phone, and dialed an insider at any time to let the secretariat meet Li Chaoren quickly.
Li Chaoren was very busy, and after five minutes, he arrived at the 40th floor of the conference room. There were not many people accompanying him, only two assistants. He quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Yang Shaozong and the others, and then sat down to chat together.
Yang Shaozong smiled and Li Chaoren sighed: "Everyone said that he would not enter the Three Treasures Palace without any trouble. At this moment, Mr. Li was suddenly willing to join this matter. I guess he had some ideas. I would like to ask Mr. Li to say it bluntly. If you do business, you can be united. After all, you have to unite to earn more!"
He knew very well that Li Chaoren had always had connections behind Zhongce Company, but Li Chaoren himself knew that this business was more likely to offend the mainland bureaucracy, especially the Central Committee, so he refused to face it. Once exposed, he directly transferred the shares he held to Jinguang Group regardless of profits.
However, this does not mean that Li Chaoren does not want to do these businesses. The reason why Li Chaoren chose this opportunity to join suddenly was that it was actually paving the way for this. There must have been some kind of deal between Li Chaoren and Huang Hongnian.
This is the atmosphere of Hong Kong businessmen. Hong Kong is small and has concentrated wealth, so most merchants will fight together, maintain cooperation with each other, and always make money together when they have the opportunity.
Of course, Cheung Kong Industrial, Sun Hung Kai, Hung Kai and New World's four big-name real estate groups rarely cooperate. At most, Sun Hung Kai and Hung Kai will negotiate to acquire land with each other. In addition, the cooperation between the four major real estate companies is basically greater than competition, while other Hong Kong merchants are fighting in groups around the four major real estate companies.
The power of Li Chaoren is that Changjiang Industry is good at everything and has very special cooperative relationships with mainland red chip companies, China Overseas, China Resources, CITIC, and Bank of China, as well as foreign companies and local Hong Kong merchants.
To be honest, the relationship between Yang Shaozong and Li Chaoren is not very good. It can only be said that the reason is that they come to Hong Kong to develop lag behind. Yang Shaozong's real teaming up in Hong Kong has always been the weakest New World among the four major real estate companies. In addition, they have certain cooperative relationships with Li Ka-ji of Henderson, Li Yunqiang of Li Wen Group, and Li Zongde of Fu Plasticization.
Although the Zhongqi Group itself was relatively influential in 1993, in recent years, due to the lack of political interference from the mainland, especially Ji Changyu, the development momentum of Hong Kong Zhongqi International in Hong Kong was definitely very rapid. Qian Jiawei, the executive president of Zhongqi International, was even called the first professional manager in Hong Kong.
Based on this group fighting atmosphere, Yang Shaozong actually had no plans to cooperate with Li Chaoren for a long time... and even regarded him as his main competitor, but this does not mean that there is no room for cooperation at all.
Similarly, Li Chaoren is well aware of this situation, but in the temptation a few days ago, he already felt that Yang Shaozong came to Hong Kong not only to spend the Mi month, but more importantly, he continued to do a big fight in Hong Kong, and did not rule out the situation of cooperation with any Hong Kong businessmen.
Li Chaoren thought for a moment and told Yang Shaozong: "Zhongce Company itself still follows commercial rules very much. It can only be said that there are some misunderstandings about Mr. Huang in China...!"
When Yang Shaozong heard this, he felt uncomfortable, so he interrupted Li Chaoren's words and said! "I don't think this is a strict misunderstanding. Buying the best state-owned asset company in China at a low price and selling it to foreign companies at a high price is actually a bit too much of the special treatment we currently treat Chinese businessmen. During the work of the Central State-owned Enterprise Reform Group, I discussed the issue of Zhongce Company with Director Chen, the State Council Vice-Enterprise Reform Commission and others. It should be said that at the government level, especially at the Central level, overseas Chinese businessmen are still welcome to return to the mainland to invest and start industries, but please remember to establish the four words "establishing industries". In the final analysis, we welcome Chinese businessmen to return to participate in national construction. Of course, we will not delay you making money, but you cannot make money in this way!"
He was quite polite about what he said, but for Huang Hongnian and Li Chaoren, he was somewhat disrespectful.
Mr. Ning immediately smiled and said: "After all, Mr. Yang just came down from the State Council and was ordered to return to Zhongqi to work in the face of danger. He is still very sensitive to the news in this regard. Of course, he just reminded him. In fact, as long as Zhongce does not sell this part of the assets to foreign countries, whether it is to stay for a long time, participate in the construction of the national ethnic industry, or cooperate with China Resources and Zhongqi in other ways, for Mr. Huang, the door to attracting investment in the mainland will always be opened to you."
Huang Hongnian seemed not very grateful and refused indifferently: "I have no idea to return to China to operate an industry for the time being. My conditions are very simple. Zhongce's assets can be sold to domestic enterprises, or other central state-owned enterprises stationed in Hong Kong, but the price must be roughly equivalent to foreign acquirers. As for whether the country welcomes me back, that doesn't matter!"
Hearing this, Mr. Ning glanced at Yang Shaozong awkwardly.
He still couldn't believe it, and always felt that Huang Hongnian's words were a bit arrogant and were purely a skill in business negotiations.
Yang Shaozong didn't think so. Huang Hongnian had been away from home for too long and really didn't care about the country. At this time, he could not imagine how amazing the development speed of the mainland would be in the future.
Yang Shaozong thought for a moment in his mind and asked Huang Hongnian directly: "Then what price can you sell to us?" Mr. Ning has been on behalf of China Resources Group for the past six months. The Central State-owned Assets Management Center and Huang Hongnian have been in contact with him five or six times. The price has never been negotiated. At first, it was agreed that all equity assets would be delivered for US$130 million. As many investment companies in the United States were preparing to take over, the stocks of Zhongce's backdoor company that Zhongce acquired in the United States immediately soared. Huang Hongnian began to repent and continuously raise the price. Now it has raised the price by US$330 million. At the same time, it is required that China no longer stop him from continuing to enter mainland investment transactions.
When Yang Shaozong appeared again on behalf of Zhongqi Group, Huang Hongnian set off again. He clearly didn't care whether he could go back to the mainland to do business. He seemed to have to raise the price again. It was nothing more than concluding that Zhongqi Group had the determination to win more than 80 high-quality state-owned assets under Zhongce.
Indeed, the daily bids that Zhongce took were basically in contact with Zhongqi Group before it was acquired, and have always been mergers and acquisitions that Zhongqi Group is interested in.
Huang Hongnian was also planning, and after a while he replied to Yang Shaozong: "I will be responsible to New York investors and shareholders based on the market value of several companies under Zhongce in New York."
Huang Hongnian was very beautiful in the operation of Zhongce Company. He first registered Zhongce Company in Hong Kong, purchased a small listed company to go public through a backdoor listing, and then returned to the mainland to purchase high-quality state-owned assets, then transferred these assets to Panama, the British Virgin Islands and other places to register as China Beer Industrial Company, etc. In total, he registered three companies based on cement, rubber tires and beer, and all of them were listed on the New York Stock Exchange, preparing to package and transfer them to professional companies in the United States, or other American investment banks.
If you really follow the stock price and market value, it will cost at least 4.5 yuan to get these three companies down.
It is billion US dollars, and it is part of the shares. The subsequent operations will still be intervened by Huang Hongnian, Jinguang Group, and Li Chaoren.
After thinking for a while, Yang Shaozong had decided to give up this acquisition war, which was meaningless, because he and Mr. Ning would not be so stupid. If he had 400 million US dollars, he could make more money no matter where he invested.
Moreover, with the plunge of rmb's exchange rate, it would be difficult for him to make money back to these US dollars, so he bought it with his opponent. It would be better to spend 2 billion rmb to rebuild a new factory in China.
Yang Shaozong just smiled and asked Li Chaoren: "Mr. Li, do you have any other opinions?"
Mr. Li seemed very cautious and waited for a moment before saying: "If Zhongqi Company is willing to invest in the acquisition, as a Hong Kong businessman, Changjiang Industrial is willing to make some contributions and provide guarantees, your company can carry out the acquisition with installments, and Changjiang Industrial only wants to hold a part of the shares in it. Moreover, Changjiang Industrial has absolutely no intention of short-term operations, but is willing to jointly develop the mainland market with Zhongqi Company."
Yang Shaozong waved his hand and said, "I have no intention of continuing to acquire it. Zhongqi International Investment Company still has one billion US dollars in its hands. This money can be taken out. If I really want to acquire it, there is no need to let other companies guarantee the installment acquisition. The key is that it is too expensive."
To be continued...
