Chapter 541: Tripartite Cooperation (12,000 per day, ask for subscription~)
Zheng Weng spoke, naturally there was no problem, but Zheng Weng was a little too strict with pure officials. Wu Jianye said with a smile.
As soon as Zheng Yutong spoke, Wu Jianye knew that Zheng Yutong should have seen that the global shipping industry was recovering, and now he still agreed that Zheng Jiachun would sell the shares of Heung Kong Shipping to Yiwang Group, which was obviously to let his son have a little more thorns and bumps on the road to succession.
Zheng Yutong smiled freely: "If hundreds of millions of yuan can be exchanged for a qualified successor to the new world, then I have not lost money in this transaction!"
On the golf course, the two walked side by side, with the caddie far behind them.
Zheng Yutong sighed: "Our generation is old, and we are always going to withdraw from the stage of history, Jiachun their generation, drinking foreign ink, for the set of harmony and wealth that we have always adhered to, in fact, I also understand them, anxious to prove to us and others that they are not worse than their parents, but it is inevitable that some mistakes will occur in the process of this, fortunately, I am now in good health, and I can help him keep an eye on the point." ”
Speaking of which, Zheng Yutong even had some meaning to be alone.
"Director Wu, I know that your mind has always been very big, and the future development will definitely not be limited to this corner of Xiangjiang, but you and I are also a year-old friend, if Jiachun does anything wrong in the future, I hope you can bear with me. ”
If it is an ordinary person, it must be very moving to hear Zheng Yutong say this, but Wu Jianye knows that Zheng Yutong has to live, but there is one thing that Zheng Yutong said is more reasonable, that is, his eyes will indeed not be limited to Xiangjiang.
Therefore, Wu Jianye is also willing to leave this incense with Zheng Yutong.
"Zheng Weng, the words are serious, you and I are business partners, but also friends who have forgotten the year, Chunguan's steps are indeed a little big now, but fortunately, everything is still under control, as for Chunguan's status in the group, what performance did Yu Zhi invest in when Zheng Weng was in the past, and what will be the performance in the future!"
In fact, to put it bluntly, Yu Zhi Investment, as the second largest shareholder of New World, is now the critical moment for the replacement of the old and the new in New World, and Zheng Jiachun's enterprising spirit is not as good as the style of his father before, and many shareholders will put a big question mark on Zheng Jiachun's performance.
At this time, as the second largest shareholder of New World, the performance of Yu Zhi Investment is particularly important, if Zheng Jiachun can get the support of Yu Zhi Investment, then his position on the board of directors can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai, and this is also the reason why Zheng Yutong invited Wu Jianye when he just arrived in Xiangjiang at Wu Jianye!
After getting Wu Jianye's assurance, Zheng Yutong was obviously relieved, and said to Wu Jianye with a smile: "Director Wu, are you interested in entering the spinach industry?"
Zheng Yutong, as one of the richest people in Xiangjiang, has always had a soft spot for the spinach industry, and a few years ago, he bought the shares of Haojiang Entertainment in the hands of Ye Han and became He Hongshen, the third largest shareholder after Huo Tsar!
Haojiang Entertainment is He Hongshen's Lisboa, and it is also the only company with a gambling license in Haojiang today.
Wu Jianye was also slightly stunned by Zheng Yutong's invitation, "Haojiang?"
Zheng Yutong shook his head with a smile and said: "It's not Haojiang, it's Vietnam, I got the news that the Vietnamese government has decided to open up its spinach industry and allow foreign capital to invest in Vietnam to start a gambling industry, I am ready to inject capital into the bidding, is Director Wu interested?"
Due to the war, Vietnam's economy is backward and the investment environment is poor, so in order to develop its own economy, the Vietnamese government has come up with a big trick to let foreigners operate casinos, so as to promote the development of Vietnam's tourism industry and the entire economy.
When the news came out, the Hong Kong and Macao consortiums were moved and eager to try.
Everyone knows that the gambling industry is a cornucopia of "killing but not paying".
Zheng Yutong and He Hongshen have always regarded gambling in the third world as a taboo.
However, the socialist countries of the third world are the most stable in political power, and even if there are major changes in national policies, they are still developing towards the general trend of reform and opening up.
Ho Hongshen set his sights on North Vietnam, while Cheng Yutong went to South Vietnam to seek opportunities.
Ho Hongshen first sent Su Shuhui, the director of the entertainment company, and Liu Siren, the manager of the casino, to Vietnam for negotiations.
Ho Hongshen thought that the construction of the hotel was too slow to gamble, and hoped to send a gambling boat to the coast of Haiphong, a "special zone city" in Vietnam, to gamble.
However, this idea ran counter to Vietnam's original intention of building a large-scale casino tourist facility, and the result was not negotiated.
The hotel casino proposed by the Vietnamese government is in Tu Son District, Hai Phong City.
Located 100 kilometers from the capital Hanoi, Tu Son has one of the best roads in Vietnam and is just over an hour's drive away.
Tushan is a peninsula that extends out of the sea, and during the colonial era it was a resort area for French military officers, with many French classical buildings.
Halong Bay, north of Tushan, has hundreds of islands of all sizes, which is a paradise for birds, and the islands are mostly composed of strange peaks and strange rocks, and it is known as Guilin on the sea.
Before the rule of Viet G, it was a tourist attraction open to the outside world.
The six consortia that came to Haiphong to bid for gambling licenses were all Chinese consortia, and they were all from Wanwan, Xiangjiang, Haojiang and other places in China.
The highest call for winning the bid is He Hongshen, the gambling king who represents Haojiang Entertainment Company.
At that time, no one paid attention to Deng Fabao of Heung Kong United International Business Co., Ltd.
As a result, the gambling card was won by Deng Fabao.
According to the signed contract, Heung Kong United International Business Co., Ltd. and Hai Phong Tourism Service United Company will establish a joint venture company, with the Hong Kong side holding 8% of the equity and the Vietnamese side accounting for 2%.
The joint venture company builds and operates the Tushan Entertainment Zone, which includes a four-star hotel and a casino for foreign tourists, with 16 gaming tables and 200 slot machines in the initial stage. The licence was issued in August 1992 for a period of 30 years and can be renewed.
The entire plan has an investment of about 40 million US dollars, and it is estimated that it will pay back in two years.
Ho Hongshen folded in North Vietnam.
Cheng Yutong broke the good news in South Vietnam: New World Group signed an agreement with the relevant authorities in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) to allow New World to build a high-end hotel in the city, and to have a casino in the hotel for foreign tourists only.
Before the Vietnamese dismantled South Vietnam, South Vietnam was ruled by a puppet regime supported by the United States.
South Vietnam practiced a free colonial economy, and with US dollar aid, the economic situation of the South has always been better than that of the North Vietnam after the reunification of the North and the South by the Viet Cong. Before the liberation of the South, a large number of wealthy people and military and political personnel from South Vietnam fled to the United States.
Now, this group of people has returned to the south of the motherland to invest as Vietnamese expatriates or Americans. According to American experts on the Far East, South Vietnam's economy will be ahead of North Vietnam.
Zheng Yutong is optimistic about this, and the opening of casinos is not limited to foreigners and overseas Chinese.
After listening to Zheng Yutong's introduction, Wu Jianye said with a smile: "This Deng Fabao has some ability to win in He Sheng's hands." ”
Zheng Yutong laughed: "Don't say it's you in this matter, even those companies involved in the bidding are very confused." Many consortia said: In terms of the conditions of the bid, we are better than Deng Fabao, which is really unfair!"
Wu Jianye asked, "Who is this Deng Fabao?"
Why is Deng Fabao sacred? Why did he frustrate the crowd?
Deng Phat Bao is 37 years old and originally from Gui Province and was born in Vietnam. In the midst of the PAI Chinese wave, the family immigrated to the United States in 1979.
In the late 80s, Tang Fa Pao came to Hong Kong to develop and set up a mosquito-type (small) company, International Business Co., Ltd., to trade between Hong Kong and Vietnam.
Regarding the winning of the license in this bidding, Deng Fabao said in a word: "Several consortiums have applied to the Vietnamese government, but I have a good relationship with the government, but one of the most important conditions is to have the participation of native Vietnamese, so I won the gambling license first." ”
He Hongshen had nothing to say, but he still did not give up, spared no effort to find an opportunity, and waited for another vote.
Deng Fabao's financial resources were thin, so he invited his friend, Zheng Hehui, a second-generation Teochew businessman, to partner in advance.
Zheng Hehui owns 51% of the shares of International Commerce, and International Business accounts for 8% of the shares of Tushan Hotel and Casino in Haiphong. Therefore, the Hong Kong magazine said that Zheng Hehui was actually the person who held the first gambling card in the socialist HUI country.
After listening to Zheng Yutong's introduction, Wu Jianye also knew a rough idea, so it seems reasonable that He Hongshen lost to Deng Fabao.
Zheng Yutong continued: "Don't talk about Lao He, does Director Wu have any ideas to invest in Vietnam's hotel spinach industry with me?"
Wu Jianye shook his head and smiled: "I forget it, I'm not very interested in the spinach industry." ”
Zheng Yutong didn't persuade Wu Jianye when he saw this, he originally invited Wu Jianye to join, but he also wanted to deepen the cooperation with Wu Jianye and increase the interest connection between the two, but now Wu Jianye doesn't want to join him and doesn't plan to force it.
However, neither Wu Jianye nor Zheng Yutong expected that Zheng Yutong's investment in Vietnam this time still failed to achieve the results that Zheng Yutong expected.
It turned out that Zheng Yutong's hotel would break ground in 1991, and Zheng Yutong was "brave enough", believing that the construction of the hotel casino would be the biggest advantage of the official bidding for gambling cards in the future.
Sure enough, the Vietnamese government declared that the gambling agreements privately concluded by local governments were invalid and that the central government should issue licenses in a unified manner.
Zheng Yutong was determined to win, but he did not expect that Deng Fabao, who blocked his old friend Stanley Ho in Haiphong, took advantage of the situation to strike iron and reached an insider agreement with the central government of Vietnam and the Ho Chi Minh City government.
In the gambling bidding in Ho Chi Minh City, Zheng Yutong, who had already made a lot of money and had the highest voice, blocked Deng Fabao.
The hotel built by New World has no gambling licenses, not only can the gambling table not be placed, but even the slot machine is forbidden to play.
The hotel can still be opened and still profitable, but it is not Zheng Yutong's original intention.
It is said that Zheng Yutong and He Hongshen have the intention of joining forces with Deng Fabao and Zheng Hehui. Running a hotel and casino, the two juniors, after all, are new hands.
Gambling saint Ye Han has always been watching Zheng Yutong and He Hongshen go to Vietnam to gamble, and it is unknown whether he gloated or not.
Ye Han said in an interview with the media: "Many people have asked me to go to Vietnam to gamble, and the people of other people don't even have food, not (not) time, I have been watching for more than 10 years. ”
However, although Wu Jianye does not plan to participate in Zheng Yutong's spinach business, he wants to cooperate with Zheng Yutong in another business.
"Zheng Weng, can you sell me some shares of Shanmei Computer Canada?" Wu Jianye said.
Hong Kong tycoons such as Zheng Yutong and Ho Hongshen, no matter which city in Canada, there will always be countless cooperation projects beckoning to them.
And Ding Wei's Shanmei Computer is a project they have invested in.
Shanmei Computer went public in Toronto in December 1986 and raised only a measly more than $5 million.
However, soon, Shanmei Computer launched a series of acquisitions, and in the 11 months from 1988 to 1989 alone, four acquisitions were made, the largest of which was the acquisition of the American Singer Sewing Car Company for 300 million yuan.
This Toronto-based mosquito company has become an international company in North America.
Many people in Toronto's securities industry criticized Shanmei for its rapid development.
However, Chinese immigrants and Xiangjiang shareholders in Canada are optimistic about its Chinese potential, and they are even more optimistic about the support of super rich people such as Zheng Yutong and He Hongshen who are behind the scenes.
When given the opportunity, they competed to invest in Shanmei stocks.
Shanmei Investment manufactures its electronic products in Pengcheng.
Shanmei also cooperates with a number of Chinese manufacturers to sell their miscellaneous products into North America and other markets under the brand name of the well-known American trademark "Singer".
Singer Group's sales network covers more than 100 countries and regions, and Shanmei has effectively played the advantages of Chinese labor and the sales advantages of Singer. Meishan's development to this point is inseparable from Ding Wei's management and the support of Zheng's and He's billionaires.
Wu Jianye wants to take a stake in Shanmei because of the development of Shanmei in the next two years, as well as the sales network in Canada, North America and other regions, although Shanmei Computer cannot become a company like Microsoft and Apple, but the sales network controlled by Shanmei Computer is enough for them to become a promising business group.
If Wu Jianye can acquire a part of the shares of Shanmei Computer in the hands of Zheng Yutong and He Hongshen, and then enter the board of directors of Shanmei Computer, then for the computer business of Tunan Technology, it will be equivalent to invisibly opening the sales network in North America and other regions.
Zheng Yutong was stunned for Wu Jianye's request at first, and then thought of Tunan Technology, a subsidiary of Yaoguang Group, and then Wu Jianye's plan, he guessed that Jiǔ was not far from ten.
"I just said that Director Wu's vision is not only in Xiangjiang, but now Director Wu has drawn a big cake for me!" Zheng Yutong said with a smile.
Wu Jianye smiled and asked, "Then what do you mean, Zheng Weng?"
Zheng Yutong thought for a while and said: "Director Wu, why don't you and I join forces to set up a new company, I will invest in this company with the shares of Shanmei Computer, and the sales of Tunan Technology's computers in North America and other regions will be represented by this company?
Zheng Yutong did not want to sell the shares of Shanmei Computer to Wu Jianye, but chose a closer cooperation method, so that the interests of both parties can be built closer!
Wu Jianye only thought about it a little, and then agreed to Zheng Yutong's request, if it is pure wealth, Wu Jianye must have surpassed Zheng Yutong and He Hongshen at this time, but if it is said that the influence in Canada and other countries, Wu Jianye is still not as good as them, if they join, it will also be of great benefit to Wu Jianye to develop the market there.
"That night, I'll borrow Zheng Weng's mansion and play cards with He Sheng!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
