Chapter 349: Old Things, Revisited, Things Are Things, People Are Not Things
"Suning Group wants to enter the retail field!"
Su Zhenbang's words seemed to be officially announced, and said to Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The retail and supermarket industry has always been a lucrative piece of the pie, just look at how many billionaires Walmart has created, look at Carrefour's awesome position in France, and even look at the domestic hegemonic Bailian Group. Therefore, in the face of such a tempting industry, there is no reason why Suning Group should not intervene.
What's more, this time, Jardine Matheson Group was defeated by X Fund, and it was just an opportunity to "take advantage of the fire" to eat Wellcome, the leader of Hong Kong's supermarket chain retail. Then, Suning Group can integrate Wellcome's resources and directly enter the mainland market, and then properly become the overlord of the domestic supermarket chain retail industry.
"Brother Su's layout is very big!" Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng both said with a smile: "Wellcome is the leader of the supermarket chain retail industry in Hong Kong, and Suning Group has obtained Wellcome, which can be regarded as a tiger in this industry." ā
Su Zhenbang nodded, and then said: "The two of you are laughing, in fact, the main purpose of the acquisition of Wellcome is to cause professional management and business experience, and our Suning Group's main focus is still in the mainland, so it is more interested in the entire mainland market." ā
Listening to Su Zhenbang's words, Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng both nodded, after all, the huge population base of the mainland, coupled with the gradually developing economy, the huge consumer market brought by it is indeed coveted by everyone. You must know that a few years ago, Li Jiacheng's Watsons had already entered the mainland and opened a chain store in Beijing.
Yes, several of the tycoons here are hardcore patriotic businessmen, needless to say Su Zhenbang, Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng are the absolute staunch faction of "looking north to China" among the wealthy people in Hong Kong. Therefore, several people unanimously expressed optimism about the future development and rise of the mainland.
You know, several Chinese investment and development companies that have been established in partnership to develop Pudong have begun to get on the right track, and as the pace of Pudong development is getting faster and faster, the benefits they will get will be extremely amazing.
In the face of such a bright and brilliant future, the interest of several people is getting higher and higher, and the atmosphere between pushing the cups and changing the lamps is getting stronger and stronger.
In China's humane society, there is a culture called "wine table culture", especially in shopping malls, "wine table culture" is simply invincible. Things that can't be done originally, as soon as everyone goes to the wine table and eats a few glasses of wine, you, me, and him can get closer to each other, and even call them brothers. Therefore, often some difficult things become not difficult to do, and everything is OK between wine and wine, pushing glasses and changing glasses.
Originally, Li Jiacheng was not going to take it to the wine table about Liu Luanxiong's begging to be a peacemaker, after all, this was the reception banquet that he and the "Boat King" prepared for Su Zhenbang. However, Li Chaoren may be afraid that his "face" is not big enough, but in fact, he is mainly afraid of embarrassment - so he decided to deal with this matter when everyone is drunk.
So, under the flow of thoughts, Li Jiacheng changed the topic: "I heard that the stock market on the mainland has been liberalized, I wonder if Brother Su has been involved?"
"It's so messy, it's shocking. ā
Su Zhenbang's words are very heavy, but they are really not deliberately exaggerated, exaggerated, and even a little insufficient.
No way, this year's Shanghai and Shenzhen markets are really crazy, and crazy to the point of frightening.
First, on May 21, the stock prices of the Shanghai Stock Exchange market were fully liberalized, which created a wave of crazy rise - the market value of five listed new stocks soared by 2,500%-3,000%, and the Shanghai Composite Index crossed 1,000 points, more than doubling the day before. The whole market went crazy, and an irrational feast of wealth stimulated everyone's nerves, which caused the "8.10 incident" in the Shenzhen stock market not long after.
It's really fooling around, and even saying something unpleasant - our financial capital market has been fooling around.
Since 1990, various scandals and incidents have emerged in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets, just like the economist Mr. Wu Jinglian said - "China's stock market is not even as good as a regulated casino".
After listening to Su Zhenbang's evaluation of the mainland stock market, Li Jiacheng also sighed and said: "Hey, this year's Hong Kong stock market is also chaotic enough. If you look at it now, the Hang Seng Index is falling every day, so that investors are afraid to enter the investment, and the financing channel is more difficult. ā
"Yes, the Hong Kong stock market has been chaotic enough this year. Bao Yugang also sighed, it seems that the "ship king" is also not very happy with the several short selling behaviors of X fund.
Of course, Su Zhenbang pays attention to the capital market in Hong Kong, so he knows the violent fluctuations in the Hong Kong stock market very well, and even he knows what these two Hong Kong tycoons mean by saying this in front of him. It's very simple, it's nothing more than letting himself, who is Lao Tzu, persuade his son not to let X Fund go too far.
However, Su Zhenbang, who used to be a soldier, knows better than anyone that the capital market is a battlefield without gunpowder, and since it is a battlefield, it is completely dependent on ability to speak. Therefore, Su Zhenbang feels that there is no fault for Su Chenyu's behavior in the financial markets in various places, at most it is just immoral - but how many people in the shopping mall are completely moral?
However, in the face of the small dissatisfaction of the two tycoons, Su Zhenbang still said with a lot of face: "After all, chaos is temporary, and I believe it will get better soon." ā
After listening to Su Zhenbang's answer, Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang were very satisfied, because the meaning of these words had already been made clear - he, who was an old man, would persuade Su Chenyu to be more restrained.
"yes, I'm sure it will get better soon. Li Jiacheng raised his glass and gestured to Su Zhenbang, then took a sip and continued: "Actually, Brother Su, there is something to trouble you today. ā
Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Su Zhenbang knew that Li Jiacheng would not simply express his dissatisfaction with the chaos in the Hong Kong stock market, so he asked with a puzzled face: "Brother Li, if there is anything to say directly, I can do it, there is absolutely no second word." ā
"That's right. Li Jiacheng also put down the wine glass in his hand, organized the language and said: "Recently, X Fund has been frantically suppressing Chinese Real Estate and Aimei Gao Industry, and Liu Luanxiong can't hold it anymore, so he asked me to be a peacemaker, hoping to ask X Fund to raise his noble hand and let him go." Of course, 'Da Liu' will not let Fund X go home empty-handed, and he will give up some of the shares of Chinese Real Estate and Aimeigao Industrial as compensation. ā
After listening to Li Jiacheng's words, Su Zhenbang thought about it and asked, "Is this Aimeigao the one who makes electric fans?"
"Yes, why did you have a relationship with him?"
, hearing Su Zhenbang's question, Li Jiacheng's heart bulged, don't be Liu Luanxiong, this guy also has a conflict with Su Zhenbang, if that's the case, it is estimated that no one will be able to save him.
Shaking his head with a smile, Su Zhenbang explained: "I remember when Xiaoyu and I first came to Hong Kong, it was at this Four Seasons Hotel, right? At that time, Xiaoyu said that when he bought Amico one day, he would fire the manager. Isn't that so, Cao Xuan?"
"Yes, it was at the Four Seasons Hotel. Thinking of the scene when he followed Su Chenyu and Su Zhenbang to Hong Kong for the first time, he couldn't help but smile, and then said with some indignation: "That manager who loves Meigao actually dares to say that the old chief is a hillbilly and a mainland boy, if Xiaoyu and the old chief stopped him, I and the monkey would have slaughtered that dog's eyes and people's low things." ā
After listening to Cao Xuan's words, whether it was Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang, or Wu Xunzhen, Li Zeju, Li Zekai and others were a little moved, they all knew the true identity of this Cao Xuan - the spokesperson of the Su family on the dark side of Hong Kong.
"I didn't expect this kid to remember this stubble now. Su Zhenbang glared at Cao Xuan, and then said with a smile: "Moreover, I heard that the reason why X Fund attacked him Liu Luanxiong this time is because he helped Jardine Matheson when X Fund dealt with the Jardine Matheson Consortium?"
At this time, Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang both stopped the chopsticks in their hands and looked at Su Zhenbang, obviously this old brother Su in the mainland is not as simple as it seems on the surface. It's really not simple, don't think that Su Zhenbang doesn't know about those things outside the mainland in the mainland, in fact, he knows more than anyone else, and he knows it more deeply.
You must know that Blackwater and X Fund will send Su Zhenbang a copy of an intelligence summary every day, covering all aspects of international finance, business, politics and other matters - this is Su Chenyu's request. Therefore, don't look at Su Zhenbang sitting on the mainland every day as if he doesn't know anything, in fact, he has long known all this in his heart.
"There is such a thing, I guess it is also a ghost who is confused, and wants to speculate and want to go crazy. Li Jiacheng did not hide or evade, and said directly: "However, it is always our Chinese-funded strength, and there is really no need to kill with a rod." ā
Nodding, Su Zhenbang pondered for a while, and then said, "Since Brother Li has said so, I will tell Xiaoyu." In the future, hopefully there won't be a next time!"
"Of course. ā
Li Jiacheng naturally understood what Su Zhenbang meant, that is, I will definitely give you face, but if there is another time in the future, it will not matter who comes to intercede.
"By the way, don't worry, Brother Su, I will let Da Liu dispose of that manager who loves Migao. ā
Perhaps in order to calm the anger in Su Chenyu's heart, Li Jiacheng thought about it and said to Su Zhenbang, as if to show Su Chenyu an attitude.
Su Zhenbang naturally knew that Li Jiacheng asked Liu Luanxiong to dispose of the manager who loved Meigao, which was just a signal - he Liu Luanxiong was soft and afraid.
Skipping this bad thing, the atmosphere was warm again, and in the end, this reception banquet was still suitable for both guests and hosts. After the dinner, after all, they are all rich people with status, and there is no messy entertainment, just a simple tea and talk.
After returning to the mansion, Su Zhenbang called Su Chenyu......
