Chapter 332 Borrowing

Jonas met with leaders at all levels in the city and agreed to their request to build a car assembly plant in the city.

Since they and the second automobile have no money, they go out of the land, the second automobile out of people, out of management, occupy half of the shares, and Opel occupies the remaining half of the shares.

Although the plan still needs to be submitted for approval, Jonas has already promised to build a factory and ship the equipment first.

Bring in the equipment you need before the storm happens.

As long as the machinery and equipment are shipped to Huaxia within two years, if you want to blockade in the future, you will not be afraid.

There are still two years to go, and if the approval is delayed for a while, it will be a mistake.

The capital called, but Jonas was too long in Tokyo this time to make no arrangements for a trip to the capital.

After taking care of some official business in the magic capital and signing hundreds of names, Jonas and his party went to Malaysia.

But this time, he brought a few more burdens, and this guy Giovanne has been working hard in China for a year, and he is ready to go back to Italy.

At this time, the airport on Langkawi Island was still a short runway with a runway of only two kilometers, and planes could only land in Penang, which was 120 kilometers away from Langkawi Island.

Penang and Malaysia's largest city, Kuala Lumpur, are the cities with the largest number of ethnic Chinese, and the country's economy is controlled by 90% of the Chinese, exceeding the 28 rule.

In these two places, the number of Chinese is nearly half, so the Chinese here are almost the mainstream group.

However, due to the long-term suppression of ethnic Chinese in Malaysia, although the economy is controlled by ethnic Chinese, politics is not allowed to be touched by ethnic Chinese.

Lin Tianwei attached great importance to Jonas and his entourage, and personally greeted Jonas at the airport, and as soon as they met, Jonas brought a message.

"Jonas, I borrowed his private yacht from Guo Lao to pick you up. Knowing that you are coming, Guo Lao hopes to meet you. ”

Jonas listened to his ramblings in English and asked in Chinese, "But Sugar King Guo Lao?"

"Yes!"

"I have a good relationship with Guo Laoyuan, and I am very willing to have this opportunity. ”

Okay, although Lin Tianwei is Chinese, but obviously the traditional culture is not up to par, he heard that Yuan Xiao's side was obviously stunned, and when he heard that Jonas was willing to meet Guo Lao, he immediately laughed.

"Okay, then I'll arrange to meet you at my resort. ”

It was a luxury yacht over 70 meters long and had a displacement of about 3,000 tons, and Jonas and his party were only about 50 people, and they were all interested in visiting the yacht.

Seeing that his grandmother Hannah was also interested, Jonas felt that he had forgotten to build a yacht for himself.

This is mainly due to the fact that Switzerland is a landlocked country, with a lake on its doorstep of just over 100 square kilometers, and there is no need for a large yacht at all.

However, since grandma likes it, then immediately put this matter on the agenda to save her from envying others.

Although Lin Tianwei is more than 20 years older than Jonas, his posture is very low. He brought a dozen of his subordinates, and the important people of Jonas and his party were all entertained.

And he stayed by Jonas's side, introducing Jonas to the surrounding scenery.

For this short two-hour voyage, he gave up his son to borrow a yacht to pick up Jonas, which can already represent his attitude.

But then he said that by taking advantage of this opportunity, he took advantage of the power of Jonas to get closer to the Sugar King, and through the Sugar King, he curryed favor with Jonas, and he was a person who would take advantage of the situation.

No matter from that point of view, Lin Tianwei is a qualified partner.

As for friends, how can there be so many friends in the mall!

Travel through the beautiful scenery and two hours will go by in a flash. When the yacht arrived in Kuah Town, three buses were already waiting at the pier to take Jonas and his party directly to the Malata Resort next to Pantai Cenang.

The whole resort is located in the northern corner of Pantai Cenang, with a total area of more than 130,000 square meters, covering 200 acres.

The tallest building here is also only two storeys and is all hidden in a dense coconut grove.

Jonas visited the facilities of the various rooms, and according to the grade of the room, Mikiros's secretarial team began to arrange each guest's room according to the guest list.

Looking around, Jonas was quite satisfied with the environment, coconut groves, private beaches, seven pools of various sizes, and the privacy of each house was not bad.

The hotel houses are all antique wooden buildings with wide eaves and transparent verandahs, and the rooms are paved with wooden floors connecting the roads and overhanging from the beach.

The only dissatisfaction is that the conference hall is too small and can only accommodate up to six hundred people.

After the visit, Lin Tianwei also introduced the scenic spots around Langkawi Island to Jonas.

"Pantai Cenang, known as the "most beautiful pearl beach", is one of the most beautiful beaches in Southeast Asia. The seabed of the Panang Riviera is home to thousands of colourful marine life, making it the best place for snorkeling and sea fishing.

Not far to the northwest is the Coral Island Marine Park, which forms a beautiful coral world around Coral Island, Langkawi Island, Scantang Island and Perlis Island.

Not only are there fossilized corals, but also colorful soft corals, and the colorful tropical fish are flying freely underwater, making it worthwhile for everyone.

If thrilling sports are not your thing, there is also Koh Taru, a small island covered in primeval forest, perfect for hiking, exploring, and excursions. ”

"Amazing place, it would have been better if the conference hall had been a little bigger. ”

Lin Tianwei said with a smile: "I have introduced so much to you, in fact, there is another purpose. ”

"Speak. ”

"I know that you have a Felicithai island in the Seychelles, which focuses on high-end intimate meetings, and I personally feel that Langkawi Island is not inferior to there, and it can focus on long-term nature, and I hope that Jonas you can consider holding the annual meetings of several companies in the future in Langkawi Island for a long time.

I am also willing to give up 30% of the shares and make Jonas a shareholder of the resort. In that case, I would dare to build a center here that could hold a meeting of 3,000 people. ”

Jonas paused and asked, "How did you want to get me into the shares?"

Lin Tianwei said bluntly: "I was originally just making a small fuss, but when I asked Guo Lao to borrow a yacht this time, he mentioned it. If Jonas is willing to take a stake, Guo Lao is willing to join in and change the name of Malata to Shangri-La. ”

Jonas pondered for a moment and said, "I personally am still a little interested in this plan, so let's talk about it in detail when Elder Guo arrives." ”

The Hoffmann Group is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more meetings will be held every year in the future.

Having a resort in which you own a stake can save a lot of money every year.

Langkawi Island is indeed good, with beautiful scenery, mountains and rivers, a hundred times stronger than the Maldives.

What is there in the Maldives? are beaches, coconut groves, diving. There are more mountains and primeval forests than the Maldives, and these are the basic conditions for creating a truly luxurious scenic spot.

Why Bora Bora is known as the most beautiful island in the world and the most luxurious tourist destination in the world. It is because they not only have beaches, coconut groves, crystal clear waters, but also two precipitous extinct volcanoes on the island, as well as primeval forests.

Langkawi also has such conditions, with the highest peak on the island being more than 800 meters, more than 100 meters higher than the volcano on Bora Bora.

The only disadvantage is that there are too many residents on the island, and many places are a little dirty and messy, so there is no luxury.

However, compared to the forced luxury of the Maldives, the foundation is much better.

Guo Lao came faster than Jonas expected, and in the evening of the same day, he came to the resort accompanied by his eldest son Guo Kongcheng and nephew Guo Kongfeng.

Unlike the centralized management of the Hoffman family, each member of the Guo family is in charge of different affairs, and the family is not divided into property.

Jonas is acquainted with Guo Kongfeng, who is the general manager of Wilmar International, which is mainly engaged in grain and oil production and trade, and is a member of the interest alliance.

Arowana edible oil, which is well-known to Chinese people, is one of the brands under Wilmar International.

Guo Kongcheng is the heir of Guo Lao's main training, he is in charge of the Shangri-La hotel business, Jonas has also heard of him, he is the man Deng Lijun once loved, and he is also the man who Deng Lijun officially announced his relationship for the first time.

However, the Guo family is a big family, and they want to save face, and Deng Lijun is just a play. Guo Lao's mother asked Deng Lijun to quit the music scene, and finally the wedding that had been printing invitations was canceled.

Now Guo Kongcheng is married, and the woman who follows him is his new wife, Dongying woman Yumiko.

And she is at least eight points similar to Teresa Teng......

This also made Jonas couldn't help but look at him twice, but he didn't expect that he was still a "single-minded" man.

For a businessman like Guo Lao, who does not forget his roots, Jonas still admires it very much, and he is also a businessman, he is a hundred times stronger than a certain surnamed Li.

Therefore, Jonas also specially arranged for his grandmother to greet Guo Lao with him, so that the two old people of similar age could talk and enhance some personal friendship.

Grandma Hannah was born in 18 years, and Guo Lao was born in 23 years, a difference of five years, belonging to a group of people.

In terms of grain and oil trading, it is only the third grade of the alliance of interests, the first grade is oil, the second grade is minerals, and the third grade is grain and oil.

Within the alliance of interests, Wilmar International is not a very important company and is slightly marginalized, but the Guo family is definitely not weak.

Their conversation began with the shrinking shipping industry in the 80s, and the shipping company is now the only loss-making company under Kuok's name.

In this regard, though, Jonas couldn't help them.

Kwok's Malaysian shipping company is mainly bulk carriers, transporting ores, containers, grain, and a PACC company, although it is responsible for oil and gas transportation, but this part is firmly controlled by Pincasgreen.

Changing a shipping company, or even adding one, will directly touch vested interests.

Jonas was not in power and could not meddle in this matter.

Guo Lao also understood this, and did not mention this topic at all, and finalized the distribution of shares in this resort with Jonas in a few words, and then chatted with Hannah.

The resort Jonas invested US$50 million, taking 30 percent of the shares, and Guo Lao invested US$30 million, plus he was responsible for management, operation, and brand licensing, he held 35 percent of the shares.

However, Lin Tianwei couldn't put all the $80 million in money into his own pocket, because the resort was not so valuable.

He also needs to spend 50 million to build a multi-purpose conference center in the resort, add a main building, and increase the number of rooms to 1,000.

In addition, it is necessary to increase the hardware facilities of the resort and make it a five-star resort.

Jonas didn't want to interfere too much in this matter, and he didn't have so much energy, so he asked Lin Tianwei to talk to Guo Kongcheng in detail, and he chatted with Guo Lao.

He was very envious of Hannah, who was only five years older than him, who had become a great-grandfather.

He is only five years younger than Hannah, his grandson is only five years old, and his eldest son Guo Kongcheng has not even become a father.

Guo Kongcheng was very shrewd, and when he heard his father sigh about this topic, he hurriedly pulled Lin Tianwei to another room for a separate meeting, so that he could not see his father's disgusted gaze.

It wasn't until dinner time that Jonas figured out Guo Lao's main intention to meet him.

He took a fancy to the strong financing ability and profitability of Hoffman Financial Investment Bank, and wanted to take Jonas to Xiangjiang to invest in real estate.

Of course, if Jonas is not interested, it is better to borrow directly.

Although his assets are billions of dollars, the industrial expansion is too large, and funds have been in a tight state.

Now, his debt ratio is as high as 80 percent, which has exceeded the warning line, and it is not so easy to borrow money from the bank.

Jonas is indeed not interested in the real estate industry, he invests in Dongying real estate because he makes money from Dongying people, and his heart will only be happy.

But if he goes to Xiangjiang to make money and raises the housing prices in Xiangjiang, he is not sensitive.

However, since Guo Lao wanted to do this business, which was profitable, he thought about it and said: "Hoffman Financial Investment Bank is not interested in investing in Hong Kong, but my private bank can sign a long-term large loan agreement with Kerry Group." ”

"What do you need?"

"I need to invest in a high-quality property under your name as a guarantee in the name of an equity investment bank. ”

He now owes a lot of money to the bank, and if he goes bankrupt, of course, he must give priority to repaying the bank's money, and the loans from private banks belong to private loans and must be returned later.

However, in other companies, Jonas can avoid losses by taking a portion of the shares as collateral without investing money.

Guo Lao obviously knew what Jonas meant, and he also knew that private bank lending requirements were very high, because investment in this area has always been not for profit, but for stability.

Without hesitation, he asked, "How much interest?"

"Ten percent per annum. ”

Guo Lao did not bargain at all, because for large loans, the annual interest rate of 10% is not high.

In order to pull loans, many small commercial banks give higher interest rates on large deposits than this figure.

"How much can you borrow?"

Jonas laughed and asked, "A billion dollars, do you dare to ask for it?"

Guo Lao laughed very boldly. "Deal!"

(There are two more today, and there is a 4,000-word chapter at noon.) )
