"Mr. Xu wants to take a stake in Samsung?" Li Jianxi was suddenly a little embarrassed.

Xu Zhi asked: "As far as I know, Samsung is still a listed company in South Korea, right? And I don't need a lot of shares, it's just a strategic investment." ”

Lee Kun-hee said: "Many of Samsung's industries are related to people's livelihood, and foreign investment must be approved by the Blue House, which is probably difficult to pass. ”

"So what if I just want to take a stake in Samsung Electronics?" Xu Zhi said.

Although the current Samsung Group is not yet one of the world's top 500 companies, its main assets and businesses are all traditional industries, monopolizing a large number of basic living facilities in South Korea, and Samsung Electronics is only a new type of enterprise, although it took over the original Samsung Electric Company, but the scale is still far from the entire Samsung.

"Invest in Samsung Electronics?" Lee Kun-hee hesitated.

"Yes, Midea has a policy, that is, it will fully support the suppliers into part of the shares, which is more conducive to the long-term cooperation between the two sides!" Xu Zhi smiled and said, Midea has many suppliers, but those who can get orders for a long time and stably are some companies that are invested by Midea, which can make Midea company also obtain additional profits.

"Mr. Xu, I can't make the decision about the news you said today, and I need to report back to South Korea before I can make a decision. Li Kunxi stood up, he naturally understood the other party's intentions, if he couldn't buy shares, then many future cooperation would not be so smooth.

In fact, Lee Kun-hee is also a little excited, although he has ambitions to develop the company, but after all, he can't predict what Samsung can achieve in the 21st century. As far as Samsung Electronics is concerned, it is not harmful to be able to bring in a shareholder with strong funds and a large number of orders.

As for the controlling stake or something, he is not worried at all, his family controls the entire Samsung Group, and Samsung Electronics is not listed separately, even if he sells some shares, it will not affect his family's management rights in the company, not to mention, the other party's shares cannot be too much.

"Well, I hope Midea and Samsung can become long-term partners. Xu Zhi also stood up and shook hands and smiled: "We don't need too many shares, about 30%." ”

Speaking of 30%, but this is just to leave room for future negotiations, Samsung Electronics has not yet reached a really difficult moment, this time even if it invests a very small number of shares, as long as it waits until the future Samsung launches a counter-cyclical price war, the company's funds are in difficulty, there is a chance to obtain higher shares.

On the other hand, if the rise of Samsung is stopped now, it will not do any good, and it will not make any sense in practice.

The rise of Samsung Li Kunxi is indispensable, but the fundamental reason is that the United States needs a puppet against Japanese semiconductors, and in the 90s, the U.S. government implemented 100% import tariffs on all Japanese semiconductors, while Samsung was 0.7%, which clearly ceded the U.S. market to Samsung.

may be able to stop the rise of Lee Kun-hee now, but even without Samsung, there will be other companies that will allow Samsung to grow according to the original history, at least they have a first-mover advantage that can see the future clearly, even if the United States takes over Samsung at the end of the 90s, this investment can also make a lot of money.

After Xu Zhi sent Li Jianxi out, he immediately made a phone call to He Guoyuan and asked him to come over immediately.

Five minutes later, He Guoyuan arrived at Xu Zhi's office.

Xu Zhi also told him the content of the conversation he had just had with Lee Kun-hee.

"The Samsung Group has a higher status in South Korea than Jardine Matheson in Heungjiang, and Samsung Electronics has become the world's largest manufacturer of televisions, although the main products are the most ordinary black and white televisions," said Ho.

In terms of other household appliances, Samsung's products have also entered the European and American markets, and they are also selling very well in Asia.

We want to take a stake in the entire Samsung Electronics company, and the price we pay is not expected to be low. ”

"Price is not an issue. Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Lao He, I want you to be personally responsible for this matter, you try to negotiate with Samsung, if the other party is willing, it will naturally be better, but if you are unwilling, then discuss whether you can separately invest in its semiconductor company." ”

"Semiconductor company?" He Guoyuan asked: "Xu Sheng, Samsung's semiconductors are not very famous in the world at present, and the technology is not very advanced, why do we invest in this semiconductor company?"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "It's because it's not right now, it's the best time to invest."

Samsung was only in a corner of Korea in the 60s, but now the scale of production of black and white TVs has become the world's first, and the development of color TVs and other electrical appliances is also good, this company has great potential, and now the entire Samsung Group is betting on the semiconductor field, and I believe that they can succeed in this field. ”

"Okay, understood!" He Guoyuan nodded and agreed.

......

At the beginning of March of '81, the Heung Kong stock market suddenly received a shocking news that Hutchison Whampoa was interested in raising HK$3 billion in the Heung Kong stock market.

In the past 80 years, the GDP of the entire Xiangjiang has been about 150 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the fundraising of Hutchison Whampoa is equivalent to 2% of the entire GDP of Hong Kong.

As for the specific purpose, Hutchison Whampoa did not elaborate, but also informed the media that the fundraising was for overseas investment.

At this sensitive moment in Hong Kong, many people believe that Hutchison intends to withdraw its investment in Hong Kong and transfer all the funds overseas.

Many "rightist" media began to hype up this topic, while leftist media began to fight back with all their might, and they also had enough reasons to do so, after all, Xu Zhi had large-scale investment plans in Shanghai and Shenhai at the beginning of this year, and was also ready to participate in the investment of Hopewell Group's Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway.

There was a lot of hustle and bustle outside, but Xu Zhi didn't respond, in fact, only some small people in the market paid special attention to this kind of topic, and those who were really capable had already had their own ideas, they had the ability to leave, and they could stay, what these people cared about was actually their own interests.

The fund-raising of 3 billion Hong Kong dollars has also attracted the attention of countless securities companies, and Hutchison Whampoa has cleared a large number of marginal assets, developed land, and paid off many liabilities left over after the return of funds in recent years, which is already a high-quality asset in the eyes of major banks or securities companies.

Standard Chartered Bank is a long-term financial partner of Hutchison Whampoa, and with this relationship, Mr. Cydes, the general manager of Standard Chartered Bank in Xiangjiang, skipped Hutchison and came directly to visit Xu Zhi.
