"CEFC Group" is a relatively special existence in China.

Everyone knows the predecessor of this company, the family business of the old Shanghai Rong family, one of the representatives of China's national industry during the Republic of China. Later, because of the Rong family's "standing in line", this family was called "red capitalists" by Chinese and foreign media.

It's a pity that even the "red capitalists" have endured round after round of shocks in the years that have just ended. Through "public-private partnerships" and "transformation of private ownership," almost all of their assets on the mainland have been acquired by the state. It was not until the "old man" made a comeback that the "old man" proposed to "correct historical mistakes" and "set things right." The state made a "state compensation" to the Rong family.

Li Huayong doesn't know if this is the first case of "state compensation" in China, but it should be the largest amount of "state compensation". It is precisely because of this money that there was the later "CEFC Group".

When the Rong family received this money, they were actually worried, but at their level, in fact, whether the money was money or not was a secondary issue, what did the Rong family want this money for? Could it be that they pulled a lot of RMB from the bank and put it in their own homes?

In the end, it was the head of the Rong family who was smart, and he took the initiative to find the organization, saying that he hoped to do some practical work around the "reform and opening up" and give full play to his family's strengths. Thus, "Huaxia International Trust and Investment Company" was born.

As for the nature and function of this company, as everyone knows, it is to carry out an exploration in the economic field that is different from the domestic economic system at that time, and to open up a channel for absorbing and using foreign capital and introducing advanced technology.

In short, the original purpose of this company was to be external.

In the second year of its establishment, CEFC Group established a joint venture with a Japanese leasing company to establish China Oriental Leasing Company. This was the first leasing company in China, and financial leasing became the only financial field open to foreign capital at that time.

Two years later, CEFC Group reached an agreement with a Japanese securities company to issue 12-year samurai bonds in Japan at an annual interest rate of 8.7%, totaling 10 billion yen, which was the first overseas bond issuance after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In 1986, CEFC Group used leveraged leasing to acquire a 10% stake in an Australian aluminum plant, which was the first time that a domestic company acquired the real economy overseas.

In the same year, CEFC Group acquired 92% of the new shares of K. Wah Bank, which had been hit hard by the run on the bank, for HK$350 million, which was the first time that a domestic company had acquired a bank overseas.....

When I see so many "firsts", I know that the "CEFC Group" at this time is like a crab tasting for China's economy. Can this crab be eaten? Is it good or not? First of all, let this company try it.

And this bidding for the Bank of China Building, of course, is also a kind of "crab-eating" behavior for domestic enterprises, so it is not surprising that "his old man" introduced this old man to Cai.

In later generations, "CEFC Group" is also well-known in the domestic engineering community. When Chinese construction companies began to go abroad, especially in the early days, CEFC Group could be seen in quite a few overseas projects.

Therefore, there is a joke in the domestic engineering circles, and everyone affectionately calls CEFC Group the "leading party" in the industry.

And now, "his old man" has also called the chairman of CEFC Group, and his purpose is also a meaning, that is, he hopes that "CEFC Group" can "lead the way" for Huaxia Construction General Manager in Xiangjiang.

The reception of Old Man Cai by "his old man" did not last long. "His old man" can express his support for Huaxia Construction's bid for the Bank of China Building in person, and also introduce Huaxin Group, Old Man Cai is already too satisfied to be satisfied, as for more specific matters, of course, it is impossible to discuss in detail at this level.

"His old man" left first, leaving the CEOs of CEFC Group and Huajian Ninth Bureau there. The two didn't actually talk in detail, Chairman Rong just handed Old Man Cai a business card, and he smiled and said to Old Man Cai:

"After your people arrive in Xiangjiang, you can go to this person at any time, and we will definitely help if we can help. ”

"Thank you, thank you. ”

Old man Cai carefully put away the business card, and after Chairman Rong left, Old Man Cai thought about it, and he took out the business card and handed it to Lei Jianjun;

"Jianjun, you go to Xiangjiang right now, and leave today. The most urgent thing now is to get the matter of forming a consortium done. As for how we will cooperate, and in what form we will cooperate, I will leave this matter to you to negotiate. Remember, although Xiao Li recommended this "Lu Ji Construction", you should understand the principle of shopping around, and remember to contact a few more after you arrive in Xiangjiang. And the meaning of this business card should be clear, that is, let us remember to contact a few more companies after we arrive in Xiangjiang, and really select the best partners. ”

"Yes!"

Old man Cai thought for a moment and then continued:

"Of course, you should also pay attention to listen to Xiao Li's opinion after you arrive in Xiangjiang. Let's not mention that this incident itself was made by him, which makes us unconsciously owe him a favor. And this guy himself is a demon, and we still have to believe in his vision and judgment. Like you said, I've never seen anyone so shrewd. My Lao Cai has lived for most of his life, and he never owed anything to others before, but now it's good, I have been in Pengcheng for less than half a year, but I unknowingly owe this kid so many favors. ”

Speaking of this, Old Man Cai shook his head:

"There are so many favors now, I really don't know how to return them in the future. ”

Seeing Old Man Cai's tangled expression, Lao Lei couldn't help laughing:

"Yes, after I arrive in Xiangjiang, I will definitely pay attention to Xiao Li's opinion. ”

Old man Cai waved his hand: "Time is pressing, you go, go, I have asked the company to book a ticket for you before I came here, you have taken the ticket and leave immediately, remember to contact at any time after you get there, and report any situation immediately." ”

"Yes. ”

Just when Lei Jianjun rushed to Xiangjiang, Li Huayong, who was in Xiangjiang, was the first to wait for Lu Yuquan, who rushed back from Pengcheng.

Lao Lu held Li Huayong's hand tightly and said with emotion:

"Xiao Li, I didn't expect that we would meet in this way in Xiangjiang. ”

Li Huayong smiled and said:

"Mr. Lu, I didn't expect that you would be born in a family of builders. I've heard that Manager Lei will be here tonight, and we will be frank and discuss the cooperation model, regardless of whether the bid can be successful this time, I hope it will be a pleasant cooperation. ”

"Definitely, definitely. ”

Lao Lu laughed: "It's hard for me to cooperate with other people, but if you cooperate with Xiao Li, I believe you will definitely surprise everyone." ”
