Chapter 380: China Gas
This was the end of the shareholders' meeting before the steel plant was put into operation, although it was not explicitly stated. However, everyone has formed a tacit understanding, and the steel plant is still subject to Bao Zixuan's words. After all, now Huo Yingdong, Dong Haoyun, and the founding shareholders of the Bao family all support him, and it can be said that his status is unshakable.
After the business was over, everyone began to enter the entertainment session. At this time, there was nothing to play in Shenhai City, so Bao Zixuan had to hold a small drinking party in the Black Cloud Canteen. When the Black Cloud Canteen was built, the rooftop was decorated beautifully, just for the purpose of holding a small cocktail party. In Xiangjiang, the canteen rooftop of Heiyun Group has long been not limited to this, and many employees will choose to hold their weddings here, which can be regarded as a disguised benefit of the company!
Everyone was chatting and laughing, and there were exceptions. That's our charter king, and I'm a little uncomfortable not being able to sit on the board. And in his heart, he thought that it was an insult to him that the old man came over in person to give the Bao family a face. Old Man Bao has not asked about the world for a long time, but he didn't expect to come over after recovering from a serious illness, which is also a reflection of the fact that there is no successor to the entire Bao family.
The charter king has been thinking that if he has a son, he can let him come over. Even being counted out is also a kind of exercise, at least it can rightfully represent the Bao family. A son-in-law is always a little out of place, especially on this occasion.
Old Man Bao has been observing the charter boat king, although the boat king was once the richest man in Xiangjiang. The current wealth can also be regarded as the second place in Xiangjiang, but he knows that there must be a gap in the heart of the charter king. I must be very concerned about not being able to participate in the board of directors of Bao Huo Dong Mining Company.
Old man Bao: "Such a big person, when will you be able to be calmer." ”
Charter King: "It's not that I don't have an idea about not participating in the board of directors, but I think that you have to come forward in person for the benefit of the Bao family at your age." If there are still men in our family, it is also a kind of exercise to be counted down and ridiculed by these gangs, and Huo Yingdong and others will definitely let him join the board of directors for the sake of the Bao family's face. Now I can only let you come forward, it seems that there is no successor to the Bao family. We have a lot of assets, so what's the use of them in the end!"
Old man Bao: "It's good that you can think like this, as the head of the family, the family always has to give everyone an explanation when they make mistakes." It is true that our Bao family is not prosperous. But who knows in the future! Don't care too much about anything, whether it is the Bao family or the Bao family, no one can snatch it away. ”
"Even if we have nothing now, we are still the Bao family! Our Bao family does not have a genius every few generations, so we are really sorry for our ancestors. ”
Bao Zixuan once again became the focus of everyone, and Lee Shau Kee said: "Xiao Bao Sheng, when will we be able to apply for that project loan." ”
Bao Zixuan: "As long as there is a good project, it can be done at any time, Li Sheng will not have an idea a long time ago!"
Lee Shau Kee: "I don't know if acquiring a company is a good project. ”
After listening to this, Bao Zixuan knew that Lee Shau Kee was preparing to attack China Gas. This is 2 years earlier than in history, and it seems that the butterfly effect has become more and more obvious.
Founded in 1862, Towngas is the first public utility in Hong Kong and the only cross-regional piped gas supplier in Hong Kong, which officially supplied Hong Kong with gas on 3 December 1864.
Lee Shau Kee's relationship with Hong Kong and China Gas began in the 70s of the last century. At that time, Hong Kong and China Gas was facing a "takeover crisis". The rapid increase in Hong Kong's population has led to the widespread use of piped gas, which has brought excellent development opportunities to Hong Kong and China Gas. There is news in the market that Hong Kong and China Gas's competitor, the Hong Kong Electric Company, is raising capital and preparing to join forces with the well-known trader Jardine Matheson to launch a purchase of Hong Kong and China Gas.
At that time, Hong Kong and China Gas had already been listed, with a total of more than 7.8 million shares in the market, but all members of the board of directors together controlled only about 10 percent of the shares. Lee Ming-chak, then chairman of the board of directors of Hong Kong and China Gas, and securities dealer Ho Ting-seok approached Lee Shau Kee for assistance, and Lee Shau Kee agreed and purchased 200,000 shares, helping Hong Kong and China Gas to regain the initiative and quietly resolve the "takeover crisis". With the support of Lee Shau Kee, Hong Kong and China Gas has been able to continue to develop steadily, and continue to expand and innovate with an enterprising style.
It seems that with the backing of Bao Huo Dong Mining Company, Lee Shau Kee is more confident, and he has already considered buying China Gas in advance. Baozi thought for a while and said: "Since Li Sheng is sure, there is no reason why we are Chinese businessmen who do not support it." How much money is needed can be directly said to the company's finance, and I will come forward to coordinate. If that's not enough, I can buy some shares, but rest assured that all voting rights are at the disposal of Li Sheng. ”
Lee Shau Kee said: "What does Bao Sheng want. ”
Lee Shau Kee is also considering that it is impossible for Bao Zixuan to help him innocently. Everyone is the master who doesn't see the rabbit and doesn't scatter the eagle, and there must be additional conditions for the two to have no relatives and no reason.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Li Sheng misunderstood, I am optimistic about Li Sheng." I really don't have any other ideas, whether you believe it or not, I always say this, I am investing in Li Sheng. ”
"One person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to do all kinds of business. The first is that you don't give others a way to live, and you are easily isolated. The second is to specialize in the art industry, and do not lead the insider. I was born in science and engineering, and I am proficient in mechanical and electronic products, but I am a layman and a second knife in the real estate and jewelry industries. If you want to do it, it is better to invest directly in Li Sheng and Zheng Sheng, and the benefits may be better. If you can easily make money, why not. ”
When Lee Shau Kee heard what Bao Zixuan said, he felt very reasonable. It is no wonder that people can become the richest people in Hong Kong, know how to read people, and know their strengths and weaknesses. This kind of talent is the most terrible, they often only want results, as for other issues basically do not bother, it can be said that they are the main ones with a very clear purpose.
Lee Shau Kee: "So Bao Sheng knows which company I want to acquire. ”
Bao Zixuan: "Isn't Li Sheng already a director of a company now!"
Lee Shau-kee: "Since Bao Sheng can see it, it will be much easier." When we go back, we will start to act, provided that the shareholding of Bao Sheng cannot exceed 15%. ”
Bao Zixuan: "No problem, I think this cooperation is just the beginning. ”
After saying that, the hands of the two people were shaken together, and at first Bao Zixuan did not ask anyone to buy the shares of China Gas. The Hong Kong government has clear restrictions on public livelihood industries, and the annual profit cannot exceed 16%. Moreover, Lee Shau Kee only really started the company in 83 years, and no one expected that it would be so much earlier.
The two of them just made the fate of China Gas decide with a few understatements, so that the company's favor is embarrassing. Through this incident, Bao Zixuan also knows that a lot of history is changing, and he doesn't know whether it's good or bad. But I came here to change the world, and what is the point if I can't live a wonderful life.
Seeing the actions of the two, everyone knew that Bao Zixuan and Li Shauji must have reached some agreement, otherwise it would not have been possible to shake hands suddenly, and now there are still talking and laughing. However, this is someone's trade secret, and even if the relationship is close, it is not easy to ask.
Seeing this situation, Old Man Bao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yugang, see it! Bao Zixuan's status in the hearts of Xiangjiang businessmen is becoming more and more important, Li Shaoji has his own way of doing business, this is the kind of person who is now also taking the initiative to cooperate with Bao Zixuan, you don't always can't let go of your body, always think that you are bullied by juniors, and your face is sometimes the least valuable." ”
Fok Yingdong was very pleased to see that more and more cooperation between Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang had begun, and this was not exactly what he wanted to see!
So Huo Yingdong said with a smile: "It seems that we have to raise a glass to celebrate the cooperation agreement between Xiao Baosheng and Li Sheng, but if you have any good projects next time, you must remember to call us." ”
