Chapter 1437: The Company Doctor Who Reappeared in the Rivers and Lakes
Xiangjiang's economy is not good, and there is news everywhere that major companies are in crisis.
But it's not a company without glamor.
HSBC, which will never fail, counts as one.
The increasingly prosperous Kirin Group is also counted as one.
In addition, some companies with foreign investment backgrounds that are ready to buy the bottom in Xiangjiang are also relatively beautiful.
Because there are many people who ask for them, there are not too many companies that want to restructure and regenerate by selling assets.
Among these companies, there is a company called Asia Securities, which is in the limelight.
In the past two months, it has spent more than 500 million Hong Kong dollars and won three projects in one go.
And the managing director of Asia Securities is the famous "company doctor" Wei Li in Xiangjiang, that is, the senior class of Hutchison Whampoa a few years ago, that is, the one who was fired by Shen Bi.
At that time, Wei Li single-handedly merged Hutchison Whampoa, which was in bankruptcy crisis, and then made a series of drastic reforms, which rejuvenated Hutchison Whampoa.
Just when he was in high spirits, he was sold to Li Chaoren by Shen Bi without saying a word, and as a Taipan, he didn't even receive the news, and the company changed hands.
This devastated Willy.
After being dismissed, he took a break for several years, and only in the last year or so has he gradually reappeared in front of people.
He was hired by an Australian investment firm, and they set up an Asian securities company to buy the bottom and prepare to keep it in their hands for a few years before selling it for money.
This kind of investment method is also the most common way to travel capital in Hong Kong to find opportunities in Hong Kong recently.
It's just that the big class of Asia Securities is Wei Li, who is smarter than ordinary people, and he also understands the economy of Xiangjiang better, and understands what Xiangjiang's valuable assets are, so three consecutive investments are the key points.
Yin Jun saw this latest news on the news.
Wei Li, who has come out of the haze, looks high-spirited, and in an interview with the financial reporter of Kylin Satellite TV, he talked about his development strategy, which vaguely reminded Yin Jun of his scenery in Hutchison Whampoa.
Then Yin Jun asked his assistant Xiaoqiu to call Wei Li and ask him to have afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel.
Five years ago, Yin Jun was just a young man who had just arrived in Xiangjiang and had nothing.
At that time, Wei Li, as one of the four major foreign companies, was the Taipan of Hutchison Whampoa, and he could be said to be in power and full of ambition.
But five years later, Wei Li has been ousted from power and started anew.
However, Yin Jun has become the third richest man in Xiangjiang, with great power and potential.
The identities and positions of the two have been completely reversed.
So after receiving the call, Wei Li rushed to the Peninsula Hotel café half an hour ahead of schedule.
As a result, he only sat for ten minutes, and Yin Jun also walked over.
"Jun Shao!" Wei Li quickly stood up.
"Hello, Mr. Willy. Yin Jun smiled and shook his hand, "Have you waited for a long time?"
"No, I just arrived. Wei Li and Yin Jun sat down left and right, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect to be able to drink tea with Jun Shao, I'm really blessed." ”
As soon as Yin Jun became famous, his status has been going up, and he doesn't like to socialize, so he rarely drinks afternoon tea with others on weekdays, especially people in the business field.
Generally, Li Chaoren, Zheng Yutong, and Uncle Shao Liu are looking for Yin Jun to drink tea, and the relationship between these people and Yin Jun is completely different, and it is not a simple "business partner" identity that can be explained clearly.
So Wei Li felt a little honored, and that wasn't too exaggerated.
Wei Li is a smart person, and he knows that Yin Jun must have something serious to do when he is looking for him.
The thing that can be related to Yin Jun must have something to do.
Since he came down from the Taipan position in Hutchison Whampoa, Wei Li has also thought a lot during the time when he was silent, and when he came out of the mountain again, Wei Li's temper has changed a lot.
He is no longer aggressive, but more modest and reserved.
That's why he was able to negotiate three deals in half a year, and they were very cost-effective and commendable.
Now that Yin Jun is invited, he knows that there must be something important to discuss, and there is no harm in lowering his attitude.
"Mr. Willy is so polite. Yin Jun sat opposite him and took a sip of black tea before saying, "I just saw that you acquired a piece of land in Mong Kok under Baishun Real Estate, and the price is only 200 million Hong Kong dollars, which is really clean!"
"This is also our luck, Baishun Real Estate has lost too much, and can only rely on this to pay off its debts. Speaking of his record, Wei Li was a little happy, "And I am familiar with their general manager, plus I use the most convenient cash, so I was able to complete all the transactions within 5 days, and we have obtained this treasure for our shareholders." ”
"Mr. Wei Li, in the future, do you plan to do such a business of buying low and selling high?" Yin Jun took a piece of dim sum and asked while eating.
"Let's do the job in hand first, I don't have time to think about anything else. Wei Li drank tea and said calmly, "I have already fallen once, and now I come out to do things again, I just hope to prove myself again, as for what way it is, I don't really care, as long as I can give full play to my talents." ”
"Mr. Weathery, how many years have you not been back to Australia?" the boy asked again.
"I came out of Australia at the age of 29 and have been back a few times since, but it's all about work. Wei Li said calmly, "We Westerners are different from you Easterners, our own careers and our own lives are the most important. The so-called hometown and hometown are not our ties. ”
Yin Jun smiled slightly, and did not refute him.
To be precise, it should be the Westerners of the British lineage who are the character of this kind of home from all over the world.
Others, such as the Italians and the French, are notoriously homesick.
This year, there was a news that the factory in a small town near Marseille, France, was acquired, and the owner wanted to relocate the factory to a more suitable place for development, and as a result, more than 200 workers in the factory resigned en masse, citing "not wanting to leave home too far".
In the end, there was no choice, and the boss could only give up the migration and continue to open a factory here.
The British did not have this habit, otherwise they would not have dominated the Great Voyage and would not have dominated the world for more than 200 years.
Australians, Canadians and Americans, most of whom are of British descent, are also accustomed to working and wandering outside.
Yin Jun changed the subject, "If there is an opportunity, please ask Mr. Wei Li to go back to Australia to work, I don't know if you are interested?"
"Wankang Company?" Wei Li blurted out.
"Hehe, it turns out that Mr. Wei Li also cares about this!" Yin Jun nodded, "Yes, it's Wankang Company!"
"Because Wankang is so well-known in Western Australia, I've heard of it too. "I also heard that the general manager of Wankang Company has recently become a member of the Western Australian Council, and he is also the first Chinese member of the Council. ”
"Well, he needs to have more time to devote himself to the work of being a councilor, so he is no longer suitable to be in charge of such a heavy Wankang company. Yin Jun said, "Mr. Wei Li, you are an Australian, if you can accept my invitation to take over Wankang Company, you can eliminate their vigilance and vigilance to the greatest extent."
In addition, more importantly, you have worked in Xiangjiang for so many years, and you are more accustomed to this style of doing things in Xiangjiang. After arriving there, they will not mess around and make some changes that do not conform to the actual situation. What Wankang Company wants is not drastic reform, as long as it continues to do so, then it will be fine. ”
Wei Li didn't speak at first, he pondered carefully for a while, and then said: "Since Wankang Company doesn't need to change, isn't it okay to promote a hard-working person from within and continue according to the established plan? Why do you have to let me go?"
Wei Li is definitely not in Hutchison Whampoa now, but he is still vaguely resentful about Yin Jun's invitation, especially the reason for the invitation.
Is everyone looking down on me so much now?
Am I going to be such a steward?
Yin Jun shook his hand, "Wankang Company's current business is only one aspect, and it can also be said to be the most inconspicuous one. I asked Mr. Willey to come over because I had a heavy responsibility. ”
"Oh, if you don't mind, please tell the truth!" Wei Li's eyes lit up, "Don't worry, I'm definitely not a person who is not strict-mouthed. ”
"There's nothing to hide either. Yin Jun said in a harmonious voice, "What are the most abundant resources in Western Australia, Mr. Willy knows, right?"
"Minerals, especially iron ore. Wei Li didn't want to reply, "Our iron ore resources account for a little more than one-third of the world, and only Brazil can compare with us." ”
"Heungjiang's economic model is very simple, which is not in line with my group's development philosophy, so I plan to increase my own industrial chain abroad and expand the types of business of the group. "So I acquired Disney and United Arts Pictures in the United States, and reached a cooperation agreement with Japan 7-Eleven to open a 24-hour convenience store."
But a group of companies, without their own resource category projects, seems to me incomplete. After a few years of exploration and research, I chose to be in Western Australia, where I wanted to mine iron ore and do some mineralization. After all, many countries are developing now, as long as they are doing economic construction, then they must need more steel resources. ”
"But most of the mineral mining rights in Western Australia, and even the exploration rights, are monopolized by a few mining giants, right?" Wei Li did research, and immediately raised his own questions.
"Western Australia has a total area of two or three million square kilometers, do they have the financial resources and energy to monopolize all the local exploration rights?" Yin Jun shook his head, "They only occupy a small area, and they haven't even finished exploring the northwest, how can they say that they have a monopoly?"
Wei Li nodded slightly, which was a good point.
The iron ore monopoly in Western Australia is only a nominal statement.
But in any case, most of the Pilbara regions that have been explored are the territory of several major iron ore giants, and they have exploration rights of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.
The so-called detection right refers to this area, I paid for a qualification, only allowing me to explore the resources inside, and other companies are not allowed.
When I have detected the resources, then I will apply for the right to mine them in accordance with the law.
If no resources are found, then the cost paid by the detection right will be in vain.
In the past decade or so, it has not been without mining companies that have tried to enter Western Australia to explore iron ore resources, but they have all failed.
Hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars of funds have been lost, but nothing has been gained.
There are just too many such examples.
