171 The British-funded consortium in Hong Kong

As the governor of Hong Kong and the organizer here, MacLehose naturally had a tight schedule, so after a few official words with Xu Zhi, he shook hands and said goodbye.

Bao Fuda didn't leave, and said to Xu Zhi: "I haven't seen him for half a year, I can't imagine that Xu Sheng is about to become the richest man in Xiangjiang, it's really amazing!"

Xu Zhidao: "Each other, the sales of our new Midea game in the UK are not bad, and Mr. Bao Fuda has also made a lot of money!"

Xu Zhi also deliberately raised his voice when he heard this, and Bao Fuda's face changed when he heard it, and he hurriedly said: "It's still a blessing for Xu Sheng!"

Xu Zhi also knew that this guy didn't want others to know about the distribution, so he smiled and said, "Is there something wrong?"

Bao Fuda could have left with MacLehose, but he stayed here, and Xu Zhi didn't believe that this guy stayed to chat with him.

Bao Fuda nodded and said, "There is a cooperation I would like to discuss with Xu Sheng." ”

"What kind of cooperation? You still want to develop other European markets?" Xu Zhi said, "It's a little late now. ”

"It's Xu Sheng's steps that are too fast!" Bao Fuda said in a deep voice.

After obtaining the exclusive distribution rights in the UK, Bao Fuda and other employees in the UK successfully developed the entire market, and when the tank war appeared, it also caused a sensation in the UK, and the whole team made a lot of money.

According to the original agreement, Bao Fuda and others could develop the market of other European countries, but when they were ready to lay out, they found that Midea had signed distribution agreements with local figures in Germany, France, Switzerland and other countries, and only some small European countries were still taking trade routes.

Xu Zhi said: "Of course, do you still expect our company not to develop the market, just waiting for you? Now some small European countries still have opportunities, you can try, otherwise it will be a little later, there will be nothing!"

"Let's not talk about this for now. Bao Fuda shook his head and said: "This time, on behalf of Hongkong Land, I want to ask Xu Sheng to borrow a sum of money, I heard that one of Xu Sheng's movies has made hundreds of millions of dollars!"

"Lending?" Xu Zhi said, "Why don't you borrow money from the bank?"

"It's just a different way to raise money, and there's no why," Bofdel said. ”

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "If I am allowed to take a stake in Land, this can be discussed, but if I borrow it, it will be exempted!"

Bao Fuda said: "Xu Sheng doesn't want to listen to our conditions? The interest rate will never be lower than that of the bank!"

Xu Zhidao: "The investment of the poor in this world will be compared with the bank's income, Mr. Bao Fuda, do you think I am poor?"

Bao Fuda thought for a while and said: "If Xu Sheng wants to take a stake in Land, it's not impossible, but it can only be preferred shares, no voting rights, and other dividends are the same as normal stocks, I don't know if this will work?"

"I'm going back to discuss it with my subordinates!" Xu Zhi wanted to refuse directly, but now is the most sensitive moment for Jardine, one of the two wings, Wharf, is targeted by Bao Yugang, the richest man in China.

Seeing that he was not rejected, Bao Fuda nodded with satisfaction and said: "Xu Sheng, this party is also a rare opportunity, just now you have met a lot of Chinese billionaires, now I will take you to meet the big classes of major British-funded foreign companies." ”

"Okay, thank you!" Xu Zhi nodded and said.

Throughout the party, the British were obviously not on the same channel as the Chinese, and at a glance, there was hardly any group that had both Chinese and white ghosts.

At present, there are four major foreign companies in Hong Kong, namely: Jardine Matheson, Hutchison, Swire and Wheelock, although there are many overlapping projects operated by these four foreign companies, but each has a different main business.

Jardine Matheson's main business is Hongkong Land and Wharf, which controls a large number of high-quality commercial buildings in Central.

Hutchison is mainly engaged in the port terminal and retail industry.

Swire's main business is Cathay Pacific.

Wheelock's main business is maritime shipping.

In addition to the main business, these big foreign companies have been in business for a long time and have a lot of land, and they have also entered the real estate industry, but selling houses is always the patent of the Chinese.

In the era when real estate dominated the economy of Hong Kong, Xu Zhi's main business was industry, which was different from traditional Chinese capital, and there was no direct conflict with the four major foreign banks in terms of interests.

Bao Fuda took Xu Zhi to a white-haired white man and said: "Xu Sheng, this is Mr. Shen Bi, Mr. Shen Bi, this is Mr. Xu Zhi, the founder of Midea!"

"Xu Sheng, hello. Shen Bi said politely.

"Mr. Shen Bi, I have admired the name for a long time. Xu Zhi also said politely.

Speaking of the old man in front of him, there is a special title in Xiangjiang in later generations, that is, the egg man, because he is white-skinned and yellow-hearted.

The most obvious act is that in September 1979, that is, five months later, Shen Bi transferred 90 million shares of Hutchison Whampoa held by HSBC to Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong Industrial, which achieved Li Ka-shing's business feat of swallowing an elephant and was also the first time that Chinese capital became a British-owned foreign firm.

Next year, Jardine Matheson and Bao Yugang competed for Wharf, and it was Shen Bi who directly lent Bao Yugang 2.1 billion Hong Kong dollars without collateral, which achieved the business myth of the ship's abandonment and landing.

If these things are reversed, a Chinese bank president helps the British to do the same two things, it is estimated that he can be sprayed as the biggest traitor immediately, but Shen Bi's point of view is: I am a businessman, and I am only responsible for my company!

Of course, there are other reasons for this, such as Hutchison's Wei Li is gradually declining to HSBC, the major shareholder, and the continuous expansion of Jardine Matheson has threatened the status of HSBC, the first consortium in Hong Kong.

Shen Bi said: "HSBC's most successful investment over the years has been the cooperation with countless young talents in Hong Kong, Xu Sheng has cooperated with us HSBC last year, and I hope we can have more contact in the future." ”

"No problem, my Evergrande is about to enter the real estate industry, and it will need to cooperate with HSBC Duoduo in the future. Xu Zhi nodded and said.

Shen Bi smiled: "Yes, Evergrande will definitely get the best preferential interest rate." ”

Xu Zhi turned his head and said to Bao Fuda: "Mr. Bao Fuda, I want to talk to Mr. Shen Bi about a big cooperation, I don't know ......."

Bao Fuda was stunned for a moment, then understood and said, "Okay, I'll go eat something, and you can talk slowly." ”
