Chapter 584: Rehearsal
"Are you really not optimistic about the development of the real estate industry?" sent Sun Hongbing away, Li Ying asked!
"No, I'm just saying that Sunac will encounter temporary difficulties. "Zhou Shi
"Then you still say that, it makes people feel like there is no hope for real estate!" Li Ying
"Real estate is a desperate industry!" Zhou Shi
"Why does it make you desperate? You've bought so many properties around the world!"
This is a problem, he can't say that he couldn't afford to buy a house in his previous life......
"Do you know the gap between China's urbanization rate and the rest of the world?" Li Ying seems to try to convince Zhou Shi that in her view, Zhou Shi is contradictory, investing in the real estate industry and looking down on the development of the industry.
Zhou Shi has a strong pessimism about the real estate industry, in fact, it is not for those real estate companies, but to look further. We started by learning about the real estate model of Hong Kong, not the Singapore model. The development of Hong Kong can give us more enlightenment, which is typical of real estate merchant banks, banks kidnapping the government, and the government controlling the supply of land, artificially driving up the price of real estate. You must know that the urban greening rate of Xiangjiang is the highest in the country. The real estate industry is like the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, the water level is significantly higher than that of the city, and it can also be said that a super-large-scale dammed lake has been formed, which is not impossible to solve, but the question of whether it is worth it or not, and it is a matter of choice. Jiang Guangtou has a good saying, "Repeatedly, not against the country, repeatedly lost!" Although the severity is different, it is probably similar. After all, real estate is a capital and government resource-intensive industry, but funding can be solved through relationships.
In addition, the rate of urbanization is a false proposition, which should be the result of natural selection, not forced. Many empty cities and ghost towns are the result of this blind pursuit of urbanization. It's like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, you can insist on letting her have a baby, but the consequences can be imagined.
Zhou Shi was not interested in discussing real estate with Li Ying, because he really couldn't find any good solutions. It is not yet known what model will be adopted for the property tax in later generations, but it is clear that the principle of many of the measures is not to reduce housing prices, but to find a new source of revenue for the government. At the extreme, it is impossible for future Chinese residents to have their own houses. This is also one of the reasons why the property tax has not been implemented, but Zhou Shi is not very optimistic about it. The only thing to be thankful for is that the development of science and technology has given the society more buffer space, such as the maturity and application of AI technology can improve the efficiency of most industries in the whole society, and perhaps the passage of time can make all problems no longer exist. So Zhou Shi's solution is: development is the last word!
At this point, the country and the enterprise are almost the same, a high-speed development of the enterprise is not pure in the problem, only the loss of this speed of development, the problem will emerge one by one. The rise and fall of apparel and Vancl Eslite may be a testament to this, as many short-lived companies such as Kaixin.com can attest.
Zhou Shi's Time and Friends Network can have the current development, that is, after he finds a problem, he can timely let the things he is not good at to the person who is good at responsible. During this period, both Time and Friends maintained a high-speed development. The same is true for fruit shells and nut mobile phones, even without the best leadership, they can maintain rapid development, in addition to Zhou Shi's strategic patent measures, the biggest advantage is to catch up with the outbreak of the industry. In addition, most of the mobile phones are produced by OEM companies such as Foxconn, which solves most of the problems for them. Moreover, Zhou Shi has been constantly discovering outstanding talents within the company, and also looking for excellent leaders for its enterprises through various channels, and has a good reputation in this regard. This has maintained the good development of its enterprises!
Besides, Apple's sharp decline at the end of 2018 is not because Apple really declined all at once, but because its development has reached a bottleneck, profit margins have also peaked, and there is no new breakthrough in sight. That is, Apple has reached its limit, and everyone has lost illusions in it. That's why there has been a big fall, and when everyone returns to their senses and solves some of the current minor troubles, or finds the next profit growth point, Apple's stock price will also get back on track and tend to stabilize.
Zhou Shi didn't pay much attention to the financing, in fact, it had been almost arranged, and there were several plans. It's just that in order to squeeze more of the potential of Hu Guniu and Yuan Tianfa and provide more guarantees for the acquisition, he didn't elaborate. And soon, there were news reports that some Chinese companies that wanted to participate in AIA's financing have refuted rumors, saying that they have no plan for the time being or will reconsider, and some well-known financial institutions, including Blackstone Fund and KKR, which had no plans to take shares, also stated that they would not participate in AIA's IPO. No one can prove that these things are related to Zhou Shi.
"You're really not nervous at all? It's a $30 billion acquisition that many people in the financial industry may never see in their lifetime. Li Ying saw that Zhou Shi hung up Hu Guniu's phone impatiently, which was very strange.
"Didn't I tell you the solution? There is basically no suspense in this matter!" Zhou Shi looked at her as if it was only a 10 billion dollar acquisition, and there may be a 100 billion dollar acquisition in the future. And this time it is nothing at all, with the cooperation of major shareholders, the management is in chaos, and there is no pressure on him for the time being, and there is basically not much difficulty. Real acquisitions, even hostile takeovers, Zhou Shike has never done it, and the acquisitions he wants very much do not have the strength to do now.
"But you're not worried about accidents?" Li Ying
"I'm worried, so I'll let them continue to work hard!" Zhou Shi, "Do you want to be involved and experience the atmosphere of this acquisition?"
"Yes, I really want to?" Li Ying also simply
"Alright then, tonight we unlock that cheese, and I'll give you this chance. Zhou Shi said with an ambiguous smile.
"You~~" Li Ying blushed, the cheese that Zhou Shi wanted to try several times was too embarrassing.
"Well, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again! I don't know if there will be such an opportunity next time. "Zhou Shi tempted the lost lamb
"Come on, who's afraid of whom!" Li Ying
"Hahaha, let's rehearse it now....." Zhou Shi didn't care about the sunny day now......
In fact, what is so beautiful about the acquisition process, it is a very simple thing, that is, because there are too many scammers in this world, lawyers, accountants and other groups in order to protect their own interests, things are becoming more and more complicated.
