"The loss of 150 million is just to hold up the stock price of Kirin Industrial for him, Hua Tianxiong. At night, Chen Tianlang sat in the villa and self-criticized Chen Hong and Charlie Chen, "This time I was wrong." If I had listened to William, I would not have fallen into the trap of Peter Li if I had not been in such a hurry to enter the market. ”

Chen Hong comforted: "Tianlang, don't say that, no one has no fault, and no one only makes the right decision in his life." ”

But obviously this kind of comfort is not meaningful to Chen Tianlang, but Charlie Chen's next eclectic comfort method is much stronger, he walked forward with a smile and patted Chen Tianlang on the shoulder and said: "Mr. Chen is right, if you know your mistakes, you will be a good boy, although you are indeed younger and inexperienced, as long as you work hard, you will accumulate a lot of experience in the future and become an old fox like Peter Li." Don't be discouraged, keep up the good work!"

Chen Tianlang was amused by Charlie Chen's nonsensical way of comforting and smiled slightly, and his mood was much more relaxed, "I don't mean to shirk responsibility when I say this, I just want to tell you why I am so eager to solve Hua Tianxiong." ”

The smile on Charlie Chen's face became weird, "I already knew that you were abnormal, to be honest, is it because of your big plans for Hong Kong in the future?"

Chen Tianlang looked at Charlie Chen in surprise, "How do you know?"

Charlie Chen looked up to the sky and smiled: "Open...... Joke, I, Charlie Chen, was also the first choice of the top ten outstanding young people in Hong Kong back then, and I can't even see your little plan, so why do you need to mess around?"

"Indeed, you can see it. The reason why I was too impatient this time was because I wanted to get rid of Hua Tianxiong as soon as possible, and then combine the entertainment business in South Korea, Hong Kong, the mainland, and even Japan. As you know, Hong Kong is known as the Hollywood of the East, and it has produced many excellent movies in the past, even if the film industry is in a recession now, but the excellent filmmakers here are rare resources, and my purpose is to firmly grasp these resources in my hands. Believe me, in the future, Asian films will be the world of Chinese films, and even the box office of Chinese films will surpass Europe and the United States to become the world's first!"

"What...... Charlie Chen squirted tea all over the floor, "No. 1 at the box office? Aren't you?

Chen Hong shook his hand to Charlie Chen and said: "You don't know my younger brother, his predictions have always been very accurate, when he designed flatform shoes and pencil pants, it was also a judgment and anticipation of the market trend, what the result was, didn't you also see it, and directly pushed the Avril clothing company you founded." ”

"Ahem, what you said is true, but the film market is difficult to predict, even if you always make money by filming like Yongsheng, you don't dare to say that Chinese movies are NO.1 in such a big tone!" Charlie Chen said and touched his chin.

Chen Tianlang can't explain, yes, the future of Chinese movies can indeed only be described as miracles, a single box office is as high as 5.6 billion, and there are more than 3 billion, more than 2 billion blockbusters, these are incredible fantasies for Hong Kong people like Charlie Chen. You must know that it is inconceivable that the box office of Chinese movies can exceed 30 million now. As the Hollywood of the East, Hong Kong movies are only 70 or 80 million at the highest, and there are almost not many more than 100 million.

Chen Tianlang patted his thigh and stood up, "Okay, it's getting late, everyone will go and take a rest." Now that Hua Tianxiong already knows our plan, there is no point in hiding his strength. From tomorrow onwards, we will show the carriage and horses to fight with him. So we're going to work harder from tomorrow!"

"By the way, Tianlang, I have one more thing to tell you. When he was about to get up and leave, Charlie Chen suddenly said.

"What's the matter?"

"After the accident with the Xiang brothers, Dongxing Li Kangtian is now the most famous boss in Hong Kong, and you can be regarded as acquaintances. I used to say that we wanted to keep it secret, but now that it's open, we're in trouble again, aren't you...... Looking for a chance for him to meet you?"

Chen Tianlang originally wanted to say no, but he thought that there would be one more friend and multiple roads, not to mention that Li Kangtian had finally helped him, so he said: "Did he ask you to send me a message? Okay, let's arrange it when I'm done with this section." ”

Now there are rumors in the outside world that Dongxing Li Kangtian was single-handedly brought out by him Chen Tianlang, even if Chen Tianlang wants to avoid suspicion, it is impossible, so it is better to simply get along with the relationship. Hong Kong, if you want to take root here, how can you not deal with these associations.

After saying that, the three of them went back to their villas to rest.

……

Since being warned by Chen Tianlang last time, Yu Qiushuang, as a female lawyer, has become very cautious in doing things, at least before doing things, she will notify Chen Tianlang first, and only do it after getting his approval.

And Chen Tianlang handed over the details of the investigation of Hua Tianxiong's company to her, and asked her to find out the matter with barrister Jiang Husheng.

A week later, the results of the investigation between Jiang Husheng and Yu Qiushuang were available.

"The new funds provided to Hua Tianxiong are the Hong Kong Century Group, the CEO of the Century Group is called Qian Ka-shing, 378 years old, belongs to the prince of the Hong Kong business community, Lao Dou is the president of the Hong Kong Business Association, the official is not big, but the network is very extensive, and the energy is not small. ”

After listening to Yu Qiushuang's report, Chen Tianlang said: "What kind of group is Century Group?"

"In terms of its own asset value, Century Group is a joint-stock chain retail enterprise, it is not listed, and the only shareholder that can be found is Qian Jiacheng. The net assets of Century Group are about 5 billion, which is not a very large group. Yu Qiushuang replied.

Jiang Husheng on the side answered: "But this time the Century Group lent one billion to the Kirin Group. ”

"A billion?" Chen Tianlang stood up when he heard this, "A company with a net worth of only five billion yuan lends one billion in cash at once?"

"Yes, it sounds like a fantasy, but it's true. Jiang Husheng said and spread the information in front of Chen Tianlang, "The key to this situation lies in the business model of Century Group. ”

"Chen Sheng, look. Jiang Husheng put the document in front of Chen Tianlang, "The main business of the Century Group is chain retail, but the profit earned by its main business is less than 3 percent of its total annual profit. Why is this so? Why is it that the profits created by an enterprise's main business are less than 3 percent of the total profits? ”

Qian Jiacheng's father, Qian Nianzu, is now only a small president of the Chamber of Commerce, so it can be said that although Qian Jiacheng's Century Group has the factor of relying on his father's connections, it still depends on Qian Jiacheng himself to really develop. ”

Five years ago, Qian Ka-shing had just graduated from the University of Wales in the United Kingdom with a master's degree and became an ordinary civil servant in Hong Kong. After less than ten days on the job, he resolutely resigned. Relying on his father's relationship, he borrowed three million. He used the three million to open his first supermarket in Wan Chai, Hong Kong.

Since the opening of this city, Qian Jiacheng's thinking has been very clear, that is, not to make money but to become bigger. It's not about getting bigger, it's about expanding and expanding in the shortest possible time.

As a result, Qian Jiacheng's supermarket has used the method of reducing prices to the greatest extent possible to attract customers and expand sales from the beginning. But after all, the cost of a business has a bottom line, and you can't push your cost to nothing. Therefore, the price compression to the end depends on the compression of profits. At that time, Qian Jiacheng fought fiercely and pressed the gross profit to less than 10%.

This is unthinkable in the traditionally highly profitable retail industry. So Qian Jiacheng's supermarket has grown rapidly.

Within three years, Qian Ka-shing's Century supermarket chain quickly expanded from Wan Chai to 18 districts including Kowloon, Kwun Tong, Sham Shui Po and Yau Tsim Mong, and then entered Dongguan and Shenzhen, which are bordering Hong Kong, as well as the big cities of Shanghai, Tianjin and Beijing in the mainland.

At this time, the monthly sales of Century Group were almost 30 million, and the group's net assets reached 800 million, but at this time, the average monthly profit of Century Group was only a pitiful 1.1 million.

Just when his peers couldn't understand what Qian Ka-shing was doing, Qian Ka-shing began to enter the Hong Kong real estate industry, and single-handedly opened a large-scale real estate project with a market value of more than 300 million yuan in Yuen Long New District, Hong Kong, and the next year, that is, last year, Ouyang made a profit of one billion yuan. ”

Chen Hong, who was listening from the sidelines, asked puzzledly: "How can an enterprise with a net worth of only 800 million yuan open a large-scale real estate worth more than 3 billion?"

But Chen Tianlang completely understood when he heard this, "I know, this is a business model problem." Century Group's main business, the chain retail market, is no longer the source of profit of Century Group, but has become the source of cash flow of Century Group.

In fact, it is very simple to say, a large retail group is generally no longer a retail group after the exhibition, and the group takes the initiative to purchase but enters the access approval of manufacturers. That is to say, when a store becomes bigger, it is no longer it to ask the manufacturer for goods to sell, but the manufacturer to send the goods to it for sale.

In this case, it is almost impossible for the retail group to pay in advance, generally the manufacturer distributes the goods to the city, and waits until the goods are sold before the retail group pays the manufacturer, and the products that cannot be sold are returned to the manufacturer in their original and different ways. And a large retail group like Century Group is impossible to settle accounts with manufacturers every day.

Generally speaking, it is quarterly, semi-annually, and yearly. In this way, Century Group can gather a large amount of cash in its hands. ”

Looking at Chen Hong's eyes, which were still a little confused, Chen Tianlang knew that she hadn't fully understood, so he said: "For example, there is a canned food manufacturer who sells canned food worth five million cans in the major cities of the Century Group. Century Group sold 10,000 yuan on the first day, so this 10,000 yuan was stored in the accounts of Century Group. If it is a quarterly settlement, then the 10,000 yuan will not be paid to the manufacturer until three months later, and if it is a semi-annual settlement, then it will be necessary to wait until half a year later for the 10,000 yuan to return to the manufacturer, and the annual settlement will have to wait for one year. This means that the 10,000 yuan is the liquidity of the Century Group in three months, half a year, and a year.

In this way, the major manufacturers have in fact to put part of their loans as interest-free loans on the accounts of the Century Group, gathering sand into a tower, and hundreds of thousands of such cash flows are gathered together to easily form a phenomenon that the Century Group, which has a net asset of only 800 million, has a cash flow of 3 billion or even 4 billion.

After accumulating such a huge cash flow, Qian Jiacheng can collect a large amount of interest even if he only puts this investment in the bank. What's more, he used it to invest in the real estate that could make huge profits?

In turn, Qian Ka-shing used this cash flow to invest in real estate and other industries, which can support him to continue to expand the scale of operations and lower prices to defeat rivals. After the expansion of the scale of the Century Group, not only can be more qualified to compete with upstream suppliers, the price of upstream suppliers is suppressed to the minimum, which is more conducive to their competition with other cities, and at the same time, it will bring greater cash flow to support him to invest more vigorously in real estate and other industries for profit.

In other words, the survival of Century Group is based on the chain retail market, but its profit point is not in the chain retail, but in real estate and other industries. I think this is the secret of Century Group's asset expansion of thousands of times in five years. ”

Chen Hong listened to what Chen Tianlang said and finally understood, "Now I understand, according to this business model, the chain market of Century Group does not say that it has small profits, even if it is not profitable, as long as it does not lose money, it can continue to expand and expand." Because Qian Jiacheng does not expect the chain to make money at all, but expects him to provide himself with a large amount of cash flow. ”

Jiang Husheng glanced at Chen Tianlang with admiration, he didn't expect that he could immediately understand the ins and outs of the matter with just a few words, it was really not simple!

"It seems that I didn't find the wrong person, this Chen Sheng is really not simple. Next to him, Yu Qiushuang thought even more.

As for Charlie Chen, he was also impressed by Chen Tianlang's incisive explanation, and felt that he and Chen Tianlang were really so far away, no wonder he was able to defeat himself smoothly at the beginning.

After thinking for a while, Chen Tianlang added: "It's not that simple. There is another problem that you have come to mind, and that is the problem of gray income. As far as I know, the Kirin Group has been engaged in the smuggling business since 10 years ago, but it has never linked its current accounts to the Kirin Group, and has set up its own account. This time, Qian Jiacheng was able to help Hua Tianxiong at a critical moment, and I think it must have something to do with Hua Tianxiong's gray funds. ”

Jiang Husheng heard this and said: "You are right, as far as I know from my investigation, since Hua Tianxiong met Qian Jiacheng three years ago, Hua Tianxiong has completely entrusted Qian Jiacheng with this shady amount of about 500 million in cash. The rise of Qian Jiacheng is very related to this fund, and Hua Tianxiong also knows a lot of ways through Qian Jiacheng, and at the same time, Qian Jiacheng's operation has washed the money cleanly. Now that I think about it, Qian Jiacheng must have mixed the funds with the cash flow created by the chain market to make various investments together to hide people's eyes. ”

Charlie Chen had to sincerely admire Chen Tianlang's shrewdness again. I didn't expect a mainlander to know so clearly about the details of these wealthy groups in Hong Kong. It's even clearer than myself, a native of Hong Kong.

But who knows, as a person who has come over, Chen Tianlang deeply understands that if you want to make a fortune, unless you are a rich second generation and have natural and ready-made funds to support you, otherwise it will be difficult for your first pot of gold to be clean. As the saying goes, killing people and setting fire to gold belts, building bridges and roads without bones, that is, it is difficult to earn people's first pot of gold without bad conscience. And there are so many rich people in Hong Kong, and few of their first pot of gold are clean, for example, He Gambling King relies on gambling, and Huo Da relies on smuggling. So like Hua Tianxiong, of course, he can't be clean.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Tianlang's mind ran to another big case in his previous life. If you remember well, in the previous life, Xiamen was the hardest hit area of smuggling, and this is also the base of smuggling in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
