Chapter 440 Finally waiting for you to rush to the street
As 1997 approaches, Hong Kong's British business firms are also faced with two choices: one is to stay and be reluctant to part with the centuries-old foundation here; the other is to escape in victory. Taking advantage of the soaring real estate and stock markets,
, sell the assets in Hong Kong at a high price.
But there’s a problem here—Li Yuan doesn’t like these at all?
It cannot be said that the JK family is not sincere. They have almost put many high-quality assets on the shelves.
But the high-quality assets of this period will become inferior in the future. Times have changed!
Let’s just say that here in Hong Kong, apart from land and real estate, there are only trade and service industries. There are no exciting industries at all? There are no high-tech and... brands?
Suddenly thinking of "brand", Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and he began to continue studying this information.
Speaking of Hong Kong's industrial history, it was not like this at the beginning - in the end, it became real estate.
At that time, Hong Kong's industry was very developed, with a large number of products exported and a considerable amount of funds accumulated for future development. However, the rising cost of real estate caused some industries to move to the mainland and some to simply close down.
For British investors like JK Trading Company, they don't like hard work very much. It should be easy to understand. Who would like to do industrial work if they can make money easily?
Therefore, under the favor of the British Hong Kong government, British capital basically dominated the financial industry and gained considerable local assets and brands through the control of the upstream financial industry.
You should all understand this. Doing business always requires financing, and it is impossible to succeed every time in business. It is easy for those British investors to take stock and control, and eventually completely dominate it.
Over time, those British-funded firms came to control a large number of industries and brands.
To be honest, how valuable are these industries and brands? In fact, it is not necessarily true. Because the valuable assets have basically been sold, leaving behind are these assets and brands that no one wants.
In addition, there are many overseas industries. Because British-funded commercial banks are not only in Hong Kong, some have also spread to surrounding Southeast Asia, where there are also many assets worth seeing.
"Oh, Byron, Dunkwe, can these things be exchanged?"
Byron and Dunkwei looked at each other, smiled and nodded: "Li, as long as you are willing, I can give you a suitable price."
"That's good!" Li Yuan took out his pen and checked a group of industries on the information. Then he thought about it and added another group, mixing the original ones into it, "Byron, that's it! If you guys
Give me a satisfactory answer, and I will solve the problems of your JK family."
"Well. Please let me take a look. These...? Sorry, Li, there are some things I can answer you right away. But there are others I need to discuss."
"Haha. Don't worry. Let's wait until you agree before making a decision!"
Anyway, this is not something Li Yuan is anxious about. As long as the JK family can afford it, then losing this opportunity doesn't matter.
"Li, that's not what I meant. We are very sincere."
"Haha. I am also very sincere."
"..."
In fact, Byron and Dunkewei still wanted to make some excuses, but seeing Li Yuan's attitude, they did not dare to lose this opportunity.
Anyway, it’s just something that no one wants, so it’s better to get rid of it cheaper.
Therefore, in the following days, the two parties quickly reached a deal and signed several contracts and letters of intent. In the end, each was satisfied with what they wanted...
…
"Brother Gu, long time no see. Hello, hello... What do I need from you? Of course I do, I have copper in stock here. Do you want anyone who needs it?... Yes, it's best to trade in cash. Of course the source is legitimate...
...State-owned enterprises are also fine. But I am afraid of triangular debt, so I asked you to guarantee it. Also, if there are really difficulties, I can also accept barter trade...Yes! It must be what I need. I can interview you then..."
The simplest thing is those spot copper.
At this time, domestic non-ferrous metal prices have not yet been completely liberalized. Affordable prices depend on connections, and you can’t even buy them with money. Negotiable prices...can you come up with foreign exchange?
In all walks of life, the demand for non-ferrous metals is huge, but there are not so many smelters in the country, and the output is only a little? As for imports, it is even more impossible. Who will buy them with foreign exchange and convert them into soft currency domestically?
Therefore, leaving this matter to Gu Changfeng can be regarded as giving him an opportunity to send a favor. And in this business, Li Yuan could have made a lot of money.
Let me explain again: Due to shortage of supply, the price of domestic spot copper has far exceeded the international price. The only obstacle is that international purchases require foreign exchange, and domestic sales can only receive soft currency.
If it is ordinary international trade, this approach will definitely be very disadvantageous. Because soft sister currency cannot be exchanged for foreign exchange at all?
Unless the soft coins you get can be used elsewhere in the country, then there is no problem.
However, is it a problem for Li Yuan to use soft sister coins in China? And he can also earn the price difference between domestic and foreign spot copper.
As for the arrears of those state-owned enterprises? If you can't raise the money, why can't you bring out local specialties? You can also solve it easily through Liyuan's sales channels.
"Jiaojiao, I just got some land and real estate in Hong Kong. You Huang family are familiar with it. Please find a way to sell it quickly."
"Ah? How come you have these things? Why don't we keep them ourselves?"
"Didn't I tell you? After the handover, the real estate and stock markets will plummet, and everything will be sold at cabbage prices. You can pick it up as you please."
"Hmph. You may not be right. What if it doesn't fall? I want to keep them all and develop them myself!"
"Hey! Don't forget, those yen loans are borrowed. Don't do it on a whim, okay? Just accept it when it's good! We are not greedy!"
"Humph! I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. Forget it, I'll just help you once! I thought you had a lot of money, but I didn't expect that it was all borrowed from outside. My son and I are in such a miserable life! We have found a big poor guy! Geez!
.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay, okay!"
Although in this bull market, the transaction prices of those land properties are extremely high, you should still be able to find a buyer...right?
Anyway, it will still rise for one or two years. This is not digging a hole for others. It just depends on whether they move quickly or not!
No matter what, it's fine as long as Li Yuan doesn't lose money here.
"Xinxin, I have already negotiated and got some things. I found a milk powder brand and several cattle farms in Australia."
"Ah? Are you stupid? Do you want these things? What's valuable about agriculture? What creates benefits is industrialization!"
"I understand, I understand, don't give me political lessons." Li Yuan felt a pain in his head, "Isn't this for the sake of the child? He will have safe milk powder in the future."
"Hey, I have too much, isn't it enough for this kid?"
"Okay! The main thing is to inject capital into those two stocks and resume trading on one stock as soon as possible."
"That's not bad. I really thought you were doing it for Zhenzhen." Ying Xin suddenly thought, "Yuanzi, a cattle farm? Can a cattle farm also be listed on the market?"
"Of course you can. The main thing is milk powder!"
"Really? I thought the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was so powerful, but I didn't expect the grade to be so low. Even cattle breeders can go public and make money..."
"hehe."
"..."
…
Finally, all the aftermath has been dealt with.
Li Yuan also didn't take this transaction seriously. He just got some unexpected benefits.
Yet the moves caused a stir in Hong Kong and overseas.
The first is that the JK family took the initiative to publicize to the outside world - Chinese buyers invested large amounts of money and not only signed long-term supply contracts with several mining companies, but also took the initiative to acquire several mines that were about to go bankrupt...
And this generous Chinese buyer is the newly-emerged Far East rich man and high-tech upstart Li Yuan!
Subsequently, new news came out of the Hong Kong market. Yuan Ge packaged up a batch of British assets and brands?
To be honest, by this time, Li Yuan was no longer an unknown person, and quite a few people had been paying attention to his activities.
But Li Yuan used a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west? What exactly did he mean? Why couldn't he find any pattern at all?
Immediately afterwards, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange received another application - Lineng Industrial and Jiuzhou Development completed new capital injections. Lineng Industrial was renamed Liangpin Dairy, and Jiuzhou Development was renamed Tangzun Liquor. At the same time, they applied to resume trading...
…
Everyone looked confused and they felt like they couldn't understand.
That good product...milk? I seem to have a vague impression that it used to be a small local milk brand in Hong Kong. However, it was quickly impacted by multinational dairy companies and seems to be gone, right?
Could it be that Brother Yuan has acquired the brand "Best Milk" and wants to start over?
And the other one, Tang Zun Liquor? I’ve definitely never heard of it.
Why did it suddenly change into these two names?
But it’s understandable. The sooner the listing is restored, the sooner the market can reduce its holdings. Can it make up for some of the losses caused by the Asia Exhibition incident?
Don't tell me, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in this era does have loose policies. If you just casually complete the capital injection and do the accounting, you can resume listing smoothly. There are even no restrictions.
Of course! The masses’ eyes are sharp!
I didn’t expect Brother Yuan to finally learn bad things!
Since you want to go public and make money, don’t blame us for refusing to play!
Therefore, after the resumption of listing, these two stocks plummeted, and their stock prices went straight into the penny stock range.
Liangpin Dairy is relatively good, with its stock price basically between 1.8 and 2 Hong Kong dollars. Tang Zun Wine has ruthlessly fallen to around 1 Hong Kong dollar.
Don't think that we retail investors are really stupid. We will also check the information.
Liangpin Dairy is pretty good. At least it has several cattle farms in Australia and is planning to build several new dairy production lines in mainland China. After all, there will always be a market for milk and milk powder.
But what about Tang Zun Winery? It actually sells foreign wines like red wine? And it’s made in mainland vineyards?
Doesn’t this make people laugh out loud?
If you want to make foreign wine, how can it be produced in the mainland? Who will buy it then?
Also, the current Tang Zun Wine Industry has no reputation and no brand effect. Winemaking is not a very high-tech industry. There are many wineries all over the world. What matters is the brand, otherwise it will not be sold at all.
go out.
Moreover, there is no atmosphere for drinking red wine in the mainland. Should we pour it into the river when the time comes?
Therefore, bumpkin from the Mainland is bumpkin. This is what the people of Hong Kong love to hear!
They were all looking forward to it - until Brother Yuan, you rushed to the street! You rushed so hard that even your mother didn’t recognize you! Hahaha!
…
Yangma's big studio is where large-scale programs are broadcast, especially the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala every year.
However, today, the place is also crowded with people, and it is the annual bidding moment for the king...
Leading the follower Li Lanlan, Li Yuan walked into the venue with a smile.
Li Lanlan looked around curiously, still muttering: "Brother! Why was there someone standing guard at the door when I entered?"
"Haha." Li Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to this stupid girl. Need to say the reason why we focus on protection here? Which country's TV station is not important? Especially here is Yangma?
Of course, such an arrangement was made later, mainly to prevent those crazy fans from rushing in to chase stars without paying attention.
"Brother! Do we really want to participate in the auction?"
"Nonsense! Why do you come here if you don't want to participate? You don't have that much dignity to deserve me to come with you."
"Hmph!" Li Lanlan rolled her eyes and rolled her eyes to the sky, "What kind of wine is that of yours? Who cares about it? It's all used to feed pigs in my hometown. No one likes to drink it at all."
"hehe."
What Li Lanlan said is true. In my hometown, most people have never even heard of wine, so how could they think of drinking it?
Of course, the idea of feeding pigs is a bit exaggerated. Basically, these are sour wines that failed to be brewed. The authentic ones have been kept in the wine cellar.
"Brother, if you advertise, can you really sell it?"
"What do you think? We have been making wine for three or four years in a row, and we have opened so many wineries. If we don't sell it, can we all leave it to you to drink?"
"I don't want it! It tastes too bad. Mom and sister-in-law have also said that in the past, when they had no money to buy wine, they would make mountain wine to satisfy their cravings. Who would like to drink this now?"
“Foreigners really like to drink.”
"Foreigners drink foreign wine. Can it be the same?"
“Isn’t it all wine?”
"Well... Foreign wine is delicious anyway, and your pigs don't like to drink it." Li Lanlan couldn't help but be happy, "Haha, I finally see that you are going to be unlucky. You let everyone in your hometown grow grapes. When the time comes,
How do I give them an explanation? Geez!"
"hehe."
Li Yuan didn't want to explain more. But in this era, drinking red wine is indeed not popular in China.
Moreover, when it comes to wine, you must cultivate the habit of drinking. If you are used to drinking, you will be used to drinking. If you are not used to drinking, you will not be used to drinking.
In addition, the way of drinking dry red abroad is really not a popular taste, and it really doesn’t taste that good. Must we cultivate that kind of red wine culture?
Thinking of this, Li Yuan couldn't help but touch his chin. Red wine culture? This is really a big problem!
