"What? You said that Shaw Brothers sold its fixed assets in Hong Kong almost in a clearance manner, and it was too cheap and discounted...... There is almost a stance of wanting to exit the Hong Kong market?"

"Yes, they're looking for a stake in the iconic downtown cinema and the Wellcome supermarket chain, which they only joined last year. It seems that I really want to give up my business in Hong Kong......"

"Well, well, you go down first. I got ......."

"Okay, boss......"

Watching his subordinates go out of his office, He Zilong got up from the sofa, walked to the window, and looked at the traffic downstairs. Caught in thought, the Shaw Brothers liquidation separated the assets in Hong Kong, and it was much cheaper than the market price. Is there a conspiracy in this?

After all, once the transfer is completed, it will have legal effect.

Thinking about the situation of the Shaw Brothers in later generations, He Zilong suddenly let go of his heart. Maybe in this life, because of its butterfly effect, the decline of Shaw Brothers in Hong Kong has accelerated and increased, maybe it?

"Forget about other assets, the iconic Shaw Brothers cinema in the city center, and the original shares of the Wellcome supermarket chain that I finally got by relying on favors, if I can get some of them, or all of them, it will definitely be an old hen with golden eggs......," He Zilong thought to himself.

Wellcome is a supermarket chain owned by Jardine Matheson Group and Dairy Farm International. Founded in 1945, it is the largest and oldest supermarket chain in Hong Kong, with more than 240 outlets!

In Hong Kong alone, with around 5,000 employees and more than 14 million monthly customers, six out of 10 adults visit Wellcome every week.

In later generations, even in the process of its retail network, many traditional market merchants and stores were directly and indirectly closed, causing controversy. Because it occupies more than 8% of the market share in Hong Kong, it is suspected of monopolizing the market. It is a pity that Hong Kong's monopoly law is different from that of the United States, and it was not suppressed by the monopoly law in the end.

Don't underestimate the supermarket industry, you must know that you can't buy clothes every day, but food is the mainstream product of the supermarket. If you live, of course, the house price is also good, but the cost is too high at one time.

The small supermarket only accounts for the most important food, clothing, housing and transportation, the first two food and clothing.

Amazon and Wal-Mart are also supermarket chains, what was the market value in the 90s, and what was the market value later? The top 500 companies in the world also developed from a rookie back then.

What is the market value of Jindong, Tian X Cat, Tao Nabao, Su Na Ning in later generations, and how many billionaires have been created indirectly and directly?

For several days, He Zilong asked people to inquire and contact the situation on the Shaw Brothers' side, of course, using someone else's name, not his own. After all, the two sides are enemies, and when they inquired about whether Shaw Brothers wanted to focus on the development of Nanyang business and took the initiative to give up most of the assets in Hong Kong, they thought about the situation in the future, and finally put all their worries down.

In his opinion, this is only 99% less credible!

"Now many people are eyeing Shaw Brothers' assets in Hong Kong, and there are many people who want to get a piece of the benefits. But because they know the current difficulties of the Shaw Brothers, they all want to wait a little longer, suppress the price, let the Shaw Brothers loosen their mouths and strive for a greater price reduction, so as to strive for some benefits. If I didn't know the situation in the future, I would definitely be like them, but now I only have such a time difference advantage, and in terms of total capital advantage, I can't compare to any really rich tycoon in Hong Kong......"

He Zilong's eyes lit up and he decided to make a bold and quick decision.

That is, when others are waiting for Shaw Brothers, the assets are discounted by 9%, and they can't see that they will be taken over when they are reduced to 8% or 7% off, and they will pay less principal. I directly arranged a puppet spokesperson to come to the door at a nine-percent discount at the current price, and I would receive as much as I could. Don't ask for any more discounts!

In particular, the assets in the central area, as well as the original shares of the Wellcome supermarket chain, can be taken over at 100% of the original price, even if they are not discounted.

On February 20, 1999, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, in a community called Lakeside Garden, 16 buildings with three floors, 18 people got together to hold a mobilization meeting. There are almost four walls in the house, only one broken sofa is placed on one side, most of the people sit on the ground, and Mr. Ma stood in the middle and spoke for two hours, so he "fooled" everyone to start a business together.

In an office building in Hong Kong, He Zilong was not as poor as Mr. Ma back then, and there were eight people sitting in front of him at this time.

They are the three brothers of the Li family, the sisters of the Guan family, and three representatives of the staff cadres who have been observed for several months and are more trustworthy in life and work, namely Luo Cheng, Li Xiaolong, and Wang Duoyu!

Among them, Luo Cheng is the most special, because he is only a subordinate of He Zilong, and he may also be equal partners. Because his family was relatively wealthy, he was extremely optimistic about He Zilong's movies and company before he finished filming. And the ability is good, he brought his own dry food into the company, and he did a very good job, which is a fighter among the few talents.

In He Zilong's heart, he has always regarded him as similar to Cai Xxin under Teacher Ma, as his other henchman is cultivating, oh no, it should be said that he is making friends.

Cai Xxin has always been known as "the man behind Mr. Ma" by the outside world, and it is no exaggeration to say that without Cai Xxin, there would be no later Ali Baba. In 1999, I was introduced to Mr. Ma by a friend of Cai X Creed in Hangzhou, and was immediately conquered by Mr. Ma's ambition to create this international import and export platform and his personal charm.

It is rumored that Cai Xxin put down his job at a German investment company with an annual salary of 700,000 US dollars and came all the way to join Mr. Ma, receiving only a salary of 500 yuan a month. If you change to an ordinary person, give up an annual salary of 700,000 US dollars, and only get a salary of 500 yuan a month, do you dare?

Luo Cheng in front of He Zilong felt a little like Cai Xxin in the future in his heart. Not only is it capable, but it also brings its own dry food, and that salary is not taken into account at all, so it is directly said that if the company is listed, it will be the original shares.

He may not have been conquered by He Zilong's personal personality charm, but he is just like-minded, and he is unwilling to rank seniority in traditional places. Such a person is like X Xin under Liu Tie and Wuji under Li Shimin. If you can't suppress him, or the friendship is not deep, the later benefits will not be in place. There may also be the possibility of anti-customer-oriented!

However, in the early stage of entrepreneurship, a successful company cannot do without such a strong and active comrade, who also brings his own dry food.

For He Zilong, now the company and business are in the early stage, and Luo Cheng is only a subordinate relationship, of course, only in name. It's also an equal brotherly partnership, which may be a little more reliable than with Boss Lei, and maybe it's not a problem.

As for the later stage, if there is a possibility of anti-customer-oriented, then at that time, the big deal will be split up and divided into two companies.

Historically, in the later period of large companies, is this kind of thing still rare? No matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to control everything. Those bigwigs in history are not powerful, but the result is not so?
