After integrating the business models of Morgan, Rockefeller and other consortiums, Liu Dong also made increasingly detailed plans for the future of Hanhua Group. Basically, 3 to 5 core companies and 7 to 9 sub-core companies constitute the Hanhua Consortium.
As the mainstay, the group's funds and energy will also be more concentrated in these dozen companies, and the remaining parts will be listed directly. As long as part of the shareholding guarantees the group's existence in these companies, it will be fine.
To put it bluntly, the purpose is to make money. When these share-holding companies go downhill, you can sell your shares at any time and exit to invest in more promising companies.
However, more than a dozen core and non-core companies must occupy an important position or even leadership in the industry around the world.
After listening to Liu Dong's words, Feng Jianhui on the other side of the phone thought for a while and said: "Director Liu plans to list those companies for financing."
"Puhua Red Star Auction House, Jiahua Group, Lejia Group, Huayang Group, Fengrui Agriculture, Hanhua Telecom, Cathay Pacific Airways, Hanhua Technology, Global Trade" Liu Dong threw out the results he had already considered.
"Director Liu, you have really decided," Feng Jianhui said in a cautious tone.
These nine companies have reached one-third of the important enterprises under Hanhua Group.
"Yes, I have decided that the core of Hanhua will be concentrated in the financial industry, petrochemical industry, machinery heavy industry and Internet industry in the future."
"Machinery Heavy Industry" Feng Jianhui is not surprised by the other three industries. Standard Chartered Bank is one of the top ten banking super giants in the world. There is no reason not to choose. And finance is the core of controlling all enterprises.
It is understandable that Liu Dong chose the petrochemical industry and the Internet industry. After gradually getting involved in the oil production of Mongolia and Russia, Pacific Petroleum Industries has become a world oil giant with assets of more than 30 billion US dollars, and has a bright future.
The Internet industry is also easy to understand, because even if it has not acquired Yahoo, Xuntong is now well-deserved No. 1 in the Internet industry, and the Internet also represents the future.
But the machinery and heavy industry industry was obviously beyond Feng Jianhui's expectation. Although Daewoo Heavy Industries, a subsidiary of the Hanhua Group, is developing well, it is still not well-known in the heavy industry industry around the world. Originally, he thought Liu Donghui would
Choose the steel industry or the energy industry.
"That's right, it's the Machinery Heavy Industry. I'm considering integrating Daewoo Marine & Shipbuilding into Daewoo Heavy Industries. Daewoo Heavy Industries will be renamed Hanwha Heavy Industries. It will consist of the Shipbuilding Division, the Engine Division, the Construction Machinery Division and the Automatic Machine Tool Division, which are four heavy industry departments.
"
There was originally supposed to be a fifth division, the Industrial Robot Division, but when he acquired Daewoo Heavy Industries, in order for the final acquisition to be successful, he sold Daewoo Heavy Industries' well-developed robotics division to South Korea's Doosan Group.
In addition, after spinning off the military-related departments of Daewoo Heavy Industries, the scale of Daewoo Heavy Industries will inevitably become smaller, so Liu Dong directly integrated Daewoo Marine and Shipbuilding into it.
In addition, the reason why the machinery and heavy industry is regarded as the core is because it is impossible to allow the existence of a private arms industry in China. Hanhua Group cannot own lucrative arms companies like consortiums in the United States, Japan and South Korea, so Liu Dong only
I can now concentrate on the heavy machinery industry.
Moreover, heavy industry, especially the heavy machinery industry, is an important basis for representing the strength of a country. Its influence far exceeds that of other industries.
In fact, Liu Dong was also very interested in the aircraft manufacturing industry. He was not afraid of high investment and starting from scratch, but considering China's business environment, he gave up in the end.
After understanding Liu Dong's plan, Feng Jianhui said nothing more.
"In addition to the four industries just mentioned, other industries such as Oriental Steel, Oriental Resources, Daewoo Motors, Matrix Media, Shangyuan Engineering Group, Huayang Real Estate, K. Wah Hotel Group and Rose Jewelry Group will be the sub-core of Hanhua in the future.
For sub-core enterprises, our strategy is to go public, but we must ensure that we have absolute control. For companies like K. Wah Group and Cathay Pacific, we can own 30% of the shares and be able to influence the company's operations and ensure our own interests."
After hearing this, Feng Jianhui also basically understood that Standard Chartered Bank, Hanhua Bank, Hanhua Heavy Industries, Xuntong Group and Pacific Petroleum Industry Company as core enterprises will not be listed.
"I understand, Director Liu"
"Well, what I just said is the future of Hanhua Group. But after all, the listing of the company is not a trivial matter. You have to plan carefully and find the right time."
"yes"
Feng Jianhui agreed.
If all the dozen or so large companies under Hanhua were listed according to Liu Dong's request, the time required would probably be calculated in years.
"Director Liu, how will the funds raised after the company be listed be used?"
The assets of the companies that Hanhua Group intends to list on the market are basically more than one billion U.S. dollars. Once listed and raised, it is conceivable that Hanhua Group will obtain tens of billions of dollars in liquidity. How will these funds be used?
Liu Dong, the chairman of the company, needs to make specific allocations.
"All the funds will be invested equally between Hanhua Heavy Industries and Pacific Petroleum Industries, but we must ensure that 40% of these funds are used for research and development, and the remaining 60% can be used for corporate expansion and the construction of a production and sales system."
Since it is the core of Liu Dong's inner plan for the future of Hanhua Group, the market value of each of them as core enterprises cannot be less than 100 billion US dollars.
But now only Standard Chartered Bank has achieved this goal. After China Communications Group successfully acquires Yahoo, it can also succeed if its assets exceed 100 billion.
But Pacific Petroleum Industries and Hanhua Heavy Industries are not that easy. In addition to investing heavily in scientific research, they also need to compete with giants around the world.
However, no matter how difficult it is, Liu Dong will achieve the four hundred billion goals
"I understand, Director Liu"
"That's good. Then you can do as we agreed. If you encounter any problems, just call me."
"yes"
After hanging up the phone from Feng Jianhui, Liu Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
Dividing its companies into different levels and adopting different strategies is not only necessary for the future development of Hanhua as a consortium, but also further saves energy.
In the future, the number of companies that he needs to worry about has been reduced from more than 20 to 13 now. In the future, he will be able to spend more time with his family.
To Liu Dong's surprise, Prince William, who had made an appointment with him yesterday, actually found him at the door early the next morning.
After the two had breakfast together and briefly chatted about the itinerary, William took Liu Dong out of the house.
"This is what you call Wembley Stadium"
After getting off the car and looking at the huge modern building in front of him, Liu Dong smiled.
"Yes, how about it? It's lively enough."
Noting the large number of British fans not far away wearing the jerseys of the teams they supported, shouting various slogans, and walking into the stadium with excitement, Liu Dong nodded slightly in surprise.
Although he has long known that football is the largest sport in Europe, Liu Dong has never watched a football match, whether it is Chinese or foreign. Even when China entered the World Cup in 2002, Liu Dong never paid attention to it.
through this sport.
"Wembley Stadium is the home ground of the England national team and also hosts the finals of various domestic competitions in England. It witnessed England's glory of winning the World Cup in 1966. For all British fans, it is a paradise.
, the irreplaceable holy land of Mecca”
Looking at the pious expression on William's face, Liu Dong smiled and said: "I didn't expect His Royal Highness to be an authentic football fan."
"Of course, it's no surprise that eight out of ten people in the UK, or indeed any country in Europe, are football fans."
"Oh, so many." Liu Dong was somewhat surprised.
Sports, especially football, really don’t have a thriving soil in China.
"Of course, you will understand later when we go in and experience it for ourselves."
After finishing speaking, William took Liu Dong into the VIP channel specially set aside after the stadium was renovated. Of course, with the status of William and Liu Dong, the place where they watch the game is naturally the highest VIP box. From inside, they can clearly see
View the entire stadium.
And seeing tens of thousands of people crowded together like ants, singing the team songs of their respective teams, excitedly waving flags and iconic ornaments representing the team, the momentum was like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
Once again, Liu Dong felt the influence of football among British people more intuitively and truly.
"It's very shocking, isn't it?" William said.
"It makes my blood boil." Liu Dong nodded.
"Haha, it's the same for me. Every time I step on the football field, I feel particularly excited. If it weren't for my status, I think I would become a football player."
"soccer player"
"Yes, that was my ideal since I was a child. And in the UK, there are over 80 kids whose ideal is to become a great player like Bobby Charlton, Cantona, Roy Keane."
"Really? However, more than 80% of children in China aspire to become scientists like Einstein, Qian Xuesen and Chen Jingrun," Liu Dong said with a smile.
"So, this is the difference between British culture and Chinese culture. In the UK, the most mainstream culture is football. If you accept it and integrate into it, then you will also integrate into the UK."
After hearing this, Liu Dong nodded thoughtfully, and looked at the roaring tsunami-like scene outside, "It seems I should get to know it well, by the way, today is the game between those two teams."
"The two best teams in England, Arsenal and Manchester United, will compete for the FA Cup title in 2004-2005."
"Oh" Liu Dong nodded clearly.
"Look, the game has begun"
Looking at William, who looked excited and had put the binoculars in front of his eyes with both hands, staring closely at the court below, Liu Dong also temporarily put aside his unnecessary thoughts and watched the game with him.
To be honest, Liu Dong really knows nothing about football games. Normally, he would not devote one minute of his energy to football, but now in this environment, he had to watch it patiently.
.
After watching it for a while, Liu Dong found that this kind of sport with more than 20 men chasing a ball was quite interesting. But that was it.
Compared with the sport of football, Liu Dong has a deeper understanding of what William just said to him about football and British culture.
Taking into account the fact that football is the largest sport in Europe, Liu Dong has more ideas in his mind.
"This may be a good way to promote Hanhua Group," Liu Dongxin said.
In the beginning, it was because of the New York Knicks basketball team that a large number of Americans got to know him, Liu Dong, and then Hanhua.
Indirectly helping Hanhua's development in the United States and saving a lot of advertising costs
Now, Liu Dong is considering whether to acquire a football team with sufficient influence throughout Europe to help the group expand in the European market.
While he was thinking about this, the two teams on the field were also fighting for their own honors. But after 45 minutes, the score was still zero to zero, and no one scored a goal.
"It seems that they are evenly matched," Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Well, Arsenal and Manchester United are the two best clubs in England. From its establishment to the present, Arsenal has won a total of 13 English top league championships, 10 English FA Cup championships, and 3 English Premier League championships.
It is the club that has stayed in England's top football league the longest. Especially last season, they broke the record held by Nottingham Forest and created a new myth of 49 consecutive unbeaten league games in England's top league."
"Manchester United is even stronger. From its establishment in 1878 to the present, they have won a total of 15 English top league championships, 10 English FA Cup championships, and 3 English League Cup championships. In European competitions, Manchester United has won a total of 2 times.
UEFA Champions League, 1 European Cup Winners' Cup and 1 European Super Cup. Moreover, Manchester United still has many fans in China."
"Really?" Liu Dong nodded slightly in surprise.
"Of course, this is what you Chinese media investigated by yourself."
"Oh, that's right, William, does the UK allow foreign investment to purchase football clubs?"
"Yes, you want to buy a Premier League team," William said in surprise after reacting.
"Yes, didn't you just say that a very important part of British culture is football culture, so I also want to acquire a football team that has been in the Premier League to experience the British football culture. I believe this will be more beneficial to Hanhua's development in the UK."
"Your idea is really unexpected."
"Maybe"
"However, Liu Dong, you are not the first rich man to acquire a football club in the UK." To be continued.
