In his previous life, Li Yuhang had seen this man many times on TV and the Internet, but he had never seen him face to face like this.
In this life, he can sit and talk face to face with the other person in the office, which can be regarded as an important step in changing his destiny in this life.
Regardless of the He Hengjian, Li Dongsheng and Huang Hongsheng whom I met before, the influence of these three big guys is not enough compared to the one in front of me.
Moreover, Li Jiacheng did not treat Li Yuhang as a senior, but as a business peer, and he did not give any guidance to Li Yuhang in his own capacity.
After inviting Li Yuhang to sit down, Li Jiacheng said with a smile: "I am very happy to be able to meet the business wizards from the mainland today. During this period, I have been paying close attention to Mr. Li's development. In some marketing aspects, it is worth learning from the business community. In time,
, I believe Mr. Li will definitely become a influential figure in the world business community."
"Li Sheng and Liao praised it. I am just enjoying the dividends from time to time. The achievements I have achieved are nothing compared to yours. Your way of doing business is an example for countless young people in the business world to learn from. I believe it will not be long before Li
Sheng will surely secure his position as a leader in the Chinese business community."
Although Li Yuhang is very weak and young, this guy has no aura at all. Li Jiacheng gave him a high hat, and he also returned the favor.
Li Jiacheng marveled at Li Yuhang's response. He had seen some business elites in mainland China. Many of them regarded themselves as underachievers when they faced him. Some were modest in the face of their own appreciation, but most of them put high hats on themselves.
No.
And he could tell from Li Yuhang's words that he didn't regard himself as a senior at all, at least he didn't mean to regard himself as a role model.
Of course, he doesn't care about these things. He prefers to talk about business. There are no seniors or juniors in business. Shopping malls are like battlefields, and they don't care about human feelings.
He said aloud: "I cannot afford to be the leader of the Chinese business community. I also ask Mr. Li not to mention this matter again. After all, there are many powerful people in our Chinese business community, and there are many people who are more capable and have more capital than me. If this is rumored,
Going out will only make people laugh."
"It's true that I made a mistake. It's also my fault that I live in a small town in the southwest of the mainland and have never seen much of the world. I only know Li Sheng and Mr. Li Zhaoji of the Hengji Group.
You two are at the top of the Forbes rich list and can be said to be the light of us Chinese people. Countless entrepreneurs in the mainland hope to achieve your achievements one day."
Li Jiacheng responded that Li Yuhang's mention of Li Zhaoji was definitely intentional. The current richest man in Hong Kong is Mr. Li Zhaoji, and he himself ranks second. Li Yuhang's words obviously have a hint of provocation in them.
Looking at Li Yuhang's face, Li Jiacheng lamented that he was still too young after all. This kind of borrowing was meaningless, and the relationship between himself and Li Zhaoji was not something that Li Guangyu could instigate with a few words.
He didn't want to keep going around in circles with Li Yuhang, lest this guy come up with something for him later.
"Mr. Li, I heard that Jianan Supermarket is going to raise funds again. I wonder if you are willing to accept our Watsons' shareholding?"
When Li Yuhang arrived, he had already guessed that the person looking for him must be related to Jianan Supermarket, or that he was interested in the mainland retail market. With the help of Jianan Supermarket, CK Hutchison could easily enter the southwest, especially Sichuan.
market.
"Li Sheng, I'm really sorry, you're a step late. Our second round of financing has been negotiated and we will no longer be financing in the short term.
If Li Sheng is interested in our supermarket, our company will definitely contact you in advance next time for financing."
Li Jiacheng doesn't believe Li Yuhang's nonsense. Those companies that finance Jianan Supermarket are fine with defrauding ordinary people. As long as you are willing to investigate, you will find that they are all shell companies.
This kind of thing is too common in business. He has many shell companies in his own hands. The Forbes ranking list is just to deceive ordinary people, and none of the wealth figures on it are real.
Seeing that Li Yuhang was unwilling to let him take a share, Li Jiacheng began to explain to him the various benefits of taking a share, which could help Jianan Supermarket be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Even if Li Yuhang is willing, he can merge Parknshop, Watsons and Jianan Supermarket, and Li Yuhang will serve as the company's chairman and general manager.
It's a pity that Li Yuhang is very ambitious in his heart. He is not willing to just become a senior executive of someone else's company. Jianan Supermarket will never let others get involved.
To put it mildly, it is a merger, but it is not being annexed by Watsons. What is the use of keeping the name of Jianan Supermarket?
He doesn't want to be like some big guys in later generations who work hard to run the company and suffer countless infamy, but in the end the profits are divided by others. He will never let such a situation happen to his company, even if it is an Internet company in the future, he clearly
He will also secretly control more than 50% of the shares.
"Mr. Li, I am particularly interested in your talent in retail management, so I hope to cooperate with you. You also know the environment in mainland China. Even if you use various means to reduce risks, I am afraid you will not be able to cooperate with me for insurance."
.
And with my capital coming in, Jianan Supermarket will expand even faster, and as long as we reach a cooperation, we, Cheung Kong Hutchison, are willing to lend you RMB 500 million interest-free for five years, so that you have enough capital to develop other industries under its umbrella.
.
You must know that the market is changing rapidly and time is not waiting for me. With these 500 million yuan, your agricultural products company, silk company, transportation company, real estate company, etc. will have funds to expand rapidly. Only I can provide this kind of cooperation.
.”
It would be false to say that Li Yuhang is not interested in the 500 million loan. Just as Li Jiacheng said, if he really has 500 million in loan, his companies will expand rapidly.
It’s just that he is unwilling to give up control of Jianan Supermarket. Don’t think that this person is a philanthropist. The other party also has requirements. To invest in Jianan Supermarket, he must own more than 35% of the shares, and he must also ensure that his shares will not be diluted before going public.
If this is the case, I am afraid that if the future development continues, this supermarket will not belong to Li Yuhang.
Businessmen are businessmen. The outside world may think that these big bosses are mysterious and must be very arrogant when talking about things. In fact, these are people who are good at calculations.
This time Li Jiacheng approached Li Yuhang very simply because he wanted to rely on Jianan Supermarket to occupy the mainland retail market.
As for his own PARKnSHOP supermarket, due to the nature of its capital, its expansion cannot be compared with Jianan Supermarket.
Moreover, the business models of the two companies are also different. Parknshop mainly operates a large-scale store model, while Jianan Supermarket is small but plentiful, rapidly expanding to various local markets, and focusing on fresh agricultural products and home appliances.
Of course, Li Jiacheng also has the attitude of giving it a try. It is best if he can reach an agreement. If not, he will look at the development of other mainland enterprises and look for opportunities to invest in them when the time comes.
Although Li Yuhang was young, Li Jiacheng discovered that this person was not someone who had never seen much of the world, and he was not like someone who had only graduated from high school for one year. He had a very deep understanding of the business world and was not that easy to fool.
Many business leaders in the Mainland will be dazzled by the listing. They are proud that the company can be listed. However, they do not know that after listing, there will be a competition for capital. When the shares in their hands are not guaranteed, the company may change hands at any time.
Until Li Yuhang left, the two parties did not reach any agreement. This was also the first meeting between two influential Chinese business figures in the future, and the result was not pleasant.
