After reading the investigation report, Xia Yu thought for a long time and finally made up his mind.

In the field of instant noodles and food, he still plans to directly acquire Yongnan Food Co., Ltd., and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to build a new company by himself, which not only requires the construction of factories, but also the need to re-recruit workers and train, and also to purchase equipment.

And now these initial troubles, since they can be solved with money, of course, they choose to spend money, and the time saved can earn more money.

The beverage market, carbonated beverage market, is difficult to enter for the time being, but it can be started from other aspects.

For example, milk, juice, tea drinks.

In the field of milk and dairy products, Xia Yu happened to have a big brand at this time, which occupied one-third of the market of Xiangjiang fresh milk, which was the milk company.

Yes, the glass bottle of fresh milk is printed with the trademark of "Milk Company", which is indeed earthy.

It is a pity that fresh milk is produced, and the shelf life is a few days at most.

But with a dairy company, there is a complete foundation for building a dairy brand.

As for fruit juice and tea drinks, Xiangjiang is also a mixed brand, needless to say packaging, there are herbal tea shops in the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang, the kind that directly pays for a bowl, and there are not a few coffee shops and milk tea shops.

However, there is also one company that stands out, and that is Vitasoy.

Vitasoy was originally a soy milk beverage brand, and a group of founders wanted to provide an inexpensive and protein-rich drink for ordinary families in Hong Kong as an alternative to the more expensive cow's milk.

So far, Vitasoy has monopolized the soybean milk market on the ninth floor of Xiangjiang, and Vitasoy soy milk in glass bottles is sold in major restaurants and convenience stores.

In addition, last year and this year, Vitasoy once again broke new ground, dragging out drinks such as juice, lemon tea and chrysanthemum tea under the Vita brand, which received good feedback from the market.

At the beginning of this year, when Xia Yu and others went north, Luo Guixiang, chairman of Vitasoy, also invested more than 22 million Hong Kong dollars to develop Bright Ranch in Pengcheng for dairy farming, preparing to enter the dairy market.

Huo Jianning's opinion is also to directly acquire this company, but it will be more difficult to acquire.

It is difficult to acquire, and it is clear that although Vitasoy was founded by five people, after so many years of development, the equity has been gradually acquired by Luo Guixiang, and now Luo Guixiang is the chairman of the largest shareholder.

According to Xia Yu's knowledge, in the previous life, Vitasoy Company was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and was known as the "Hong Kong stock small Moutai", with an annual revenue of more than 7 billion yuan and a market value of more than 40 billion Hong Kong dollars.

At this time, under the research and judgment of the Economic Research Office, although the assets of Vitasoy Company were about 200 million, the liabilities were 1.4 billion, and the net assets were about 60 million Hong Kong dollars.

And the net worth of 60 million Hong Kong dollars is mainly concentrated in factories, machinery, pastures and workers.

Generally speaking, the market value of listed companies in the industrial sector is about twice the net assets, so if Vitasoy is listed at this time, the market value will be around HK$120 million.

What's more, at this time, Vitasoy was not listed, so if it really wants to be acquired, the wholly-owned acquisition will be 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

If you build a new company from scratch and develop to this point, you can't achieve it without 200 million.

To be able to acquire, it is definitely worth the money, and it also eliminates a tough competitor.

Don't hesitate to make an all-out acquisition!

Isn't it just money!

"Okay, I know, I will let Wang Qi be responsible for the specific acquisition. ”

Xia Yu put down the investigation report and said to Huo Jianning.

Under the Jiuding consortium, the best at mergers and acquisitions is undoubtedly Wang Qi.

"Understood!"

After dealing with this matter, Xia Yu asked with concern: "By the way, how is the operation of Tiangong Electronics? Have the orders of 200 million US dollars for the previous exhibition been delivered?"

When it comes to the company he manages, Huo Jianning can't help but smile on his face.

"Chairman, they have all been delivered, but now the company is still full of orders, according to market feedback, our company's five games are too popular, other game companies have no power to resist at all, and even the sales of "Space Invaders" have plummeted. ”

So far, the company has received a total of $520 million in orders, with a total of 215,000 units of five arcade machines, and has now delivered 170,000 units. ”

Speaking of this, in order to reflect the merits of the results, Huo Jianning paused for a moment and added: "Last year, the annual sales of the island country Taidong Company were 1.80 billion US dollars, and now our company's sales in two months are about to reach half of it. ”

Xia Yu smiled and said with satisfaction: "Not bad!"

"These games can continue to develop new levels, which is enough for the company to eat for a few years, but in the past few years, the company must work research and development. ”

Huo Jianning nodded and said: "I understand, we have cooperated with universities now, but the current situation of Xiangjiang is that there is a serious shortage of talents in the field of electronic technology, so in terms of research and development, it is now mainly relying on Sega's side, and the parent company is urgently cultivating talents." ”

It's a talent problem again!

Xia Yu couldn't help frowning, feeling helpless for the level of education and scientific research in Xiangjiang.

His business strength has reached the top level of Xiangjiang, and there is no shortage of funds, but he is restricted by talents, which seriously slows down the speed of his career development.

His Jiuding consortium will definitely get involved in all walks of life, and Xiangjiang is his foundation, at least there are not a few talents rising in Xiangjiang, but according to the current conditions, it is not realistic at all.

He either chooses to use foreigners for the majority of talents, or he can only train himself.

If most of the entire Jiuding consortium were foreigners, it would definitely be an extremely unstable factor.

Although the mainland has produced a large number of talented people, people's concepts have not changed now, and it is difficult for them to come to Xiangjiang.

Moreover, because there is too little contact with the world, all aspects are seriously lagging behind, and the talents cultivated may not be able to be in line with all walks of life in the world.

After thinking about it, I still have to build my own university.

It is simply unrealistic to expect Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University, and Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology will not appear for six or seven years, and he does not have the time to wait.

Although it was decided to build a comprehensive university, Xia Yu did not plan to tell Huo Jianning now that this kind of comprehensive university is not like the Spring and Autumn School of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Xiangjiang Culture and Media School, after all, Xia Yu himself has no resources to use.

You'll have to talk to someone.

"Do what you think!"

"Understood!"

After sending Huo Jianning away.

Xia Yu ordered someone to inform him of the think tank and hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss this issue in detail.

Early the next morning.

The Political Research Institute, Business Research Institute, and Social Research Institute of Jiuding Think Tank gathered in the large conference room of Jiuding Building.

As far as the eye can see, many of them are elderly, and some are gray-haired.

Many of them are professors from Chinese University and Xiangjiang University, and even professors from some universities in Southeast Asia, such as Lin Shanyuan and Professor Xu Zhixue, who were originally in the Jiuding Economic Research Office, are also core members of the Business Research Institute of Jiuding Think Tank.

In addition, there are a number of well-known social observers and commentators, some of whom are originally from mainland China, but who do not teach at the two universities.

But there is no doubt about the ability.

The treatment of Jiuding Think Tank is extremely high, so the threshold for entry is also high and scary, after layers of screening, the people who can come in are all genuine, and there is absolutely no indiscriminate filling.

For these people, Xia Yu also has great respect.

After entering, he threw out a proposal to build a comprehensive private university, and the people present immediately discussed it fiercely.

Combined with the actual situation and future needs of Jiuding Foundation, the current situation of society is summarized, and the necessity, possibility, implementation and difficulties of establishing a private university are discussed in depth.

Xia Yu remained silent and listened quietly on the side.

It is said that the three stinkers have beaten Zhuge Liang, not to mention such a large group of top smart people.

In one day, the results came out.

For the sake of the future of the Jiuding Consortium and for the benefit of Hong Kong, it is extremely necessary to establish a new university.

There are hundreds of good influences listed.

In addition, even the operational plan for building a university has come up with a framework.

In this case, Xia Yu had nothing to say, and immediately decided to build a private university, which was called Jiuding University.

After the confirmation, many people present were excited and expressed their willingness to contribute.

These people are all university professors, they are very clear about the structure of the university, and they have huge network resources, at least the teachers of Jiuding University will definitely not be lacking.

In Xia Yu's mind, Jiuding University's goal is to develop into a private university like Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, Princeton University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Columbia University. (These universities are all private!)

After putting the think tank in charge, Xia Yu went to meet MacLehose that night and proposed to him to build a school.

MacLehose did not agree on the spot, but he was still positive about Xia Yu's idea of being willing to independently fund the improvement of Xiangjiang's educational environment.

But Xia Yu was not worried that MacLehose would not agree.

Improving the educational environment in Hong Kong has always been MacLehose's governing policy, but due to financial shortcomings, many of his policies have not been implemented.

A few days later, MacLehose convened a meeting in the Hong Kong government to discuss the matter, and no one was willing to oppose such a public good.

The qualification to run the school was given to Xia Yu, and the Hong Kong government provided the land for the construction of the school free of charge.

After the news came out, everyone in Xiangjiang cheered.

There are indeed too few universities in Xiangjiang, many people want to study but can't go to university after graduating from high school, so they can only go to work as apprentices or directly work.

Xia Yu's reputation instantly increased by several notches.

Ten days later, Jiuding Think Tank came up with a complete plan for running the school, and Xia Yu took this plan to negotiate with the Hong Kong government.

In the end, it was decided that the Hong Kong government would give 60 hectares of Clear Water Bay, Kowloon, or 600,000 square meters, free of charge to support Xia Yu to establish the university.

This piece of land is where the future Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology is located.

In order to restrict Xia Yu from making profits, the Hong Kong government stipulates that the 60 hectares of land belong to the special land for education, which can only be used for the construction of schools, and prohibit any commercial development.

In response to this request, Xia Yu agreed, this area is too little to build a school, where will he use it to develop real estate?

In the future, he will definitely have to find a way to pick up land from the Hong Kong government for the expansion of the university.
