Chapter 368: The Symmetrical Status of Asymmetry

"Appetite is not small," Li Ka-shing laughed after a temporary silence: "Then since you said you are going to make a deal, what can I get?"

It's really interesting to see a businessman like Alice who is so comfortable with his needs, but when all kinds of combined elements are stacked together, it has to be surprising. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoLi Ka-shing was laughing heartily, and Li Zeju, who was sitting with him, was seriously thinking about the logic of this meeting.

"I can buy your shares in Cheung Kong Infrastructure at a price of 1.2 times the market price, which is the first direct gain you get. Alice really intends to pursue a non-shocking way, and this also makes Li Zeju, who is planning to continue to observe, really don't know how to judge her thoughts.

"Help me set up a pharmaceutical company, I use your connections and market to make quick profits, and you use my products to enjoy dividends, which is of course the most obvious harvest. ”

In the face of this so-called harvest that seems tempting, but looks more like empty talk, Li Ka-shing is still the same as before, and did not immediately express his position.

Seeing his father's silence, Li Zeju knew that it was time for him to speak.

As for the research and development of new drugs, its cycle is very long, and it does require large-scale capital injection, and the combination of improving the scientific research team, if you want to make cash profits, this method may not work. ”

Alice quickly asked, "Do you think I'm a person who is short of money?"

There is indeed no shortage, Li Zeju is very clearly aware of this, Alice, who has just been listed on Cisco, Alice, who is a shareholder of Microsoft, and Alice, who has just got a lot of cash from last year's stock market crash, she is certainly not a person who is short of money. It takes a lifetime for many businessmen to get to this point, but this girl completed this task in just three years, and it is indeed time to make a long-term investment rather than earn cash.

"High risk, high reward. At this time, Li Ka-shing spoke again. As he spoke, he looked at Alice with deep eyes, trying to see through the girl. But unfortunately, even if he said the opening sentence in a lengthened tone, he did not see the slightest trace in those blue eyes.

"Tell me about your plans, Alice. After all, no matter what method you use, you have already made a net profit from the global stock market during last year's stock market crash that is several times the cost. If you can start from scratch and achieve so many achievements in three years, you don't want to develop by yourself, but find me to cooperate, and you must have a big cooperation project. Tell me, kid, what great ideas do you have?"

Listening to the old father tell his inner thoughts, Li Zeju sat on the side, and became more and more engrossed. Of course, this scene did not escape Alice's eyes, she couldn't help but want to laugh, looking at the current appearance of this handsome guy, I really wanted to take out a notebook and write down every sentence of herself.

It's also true, don't look at Li Zeju is Li Ka-shing's eldest son, he is only 24 years old now. He graduated from Stanford University in '85 and is currently working at Cheung Kong Industrial, and it was when he learned the way of business from his father and uncles. However, this kind of everything is really incomparable to Alice's current achievements.

"It's good to talk about it. ”

For the requirements of the two, Alice really has no need to hide it, not to mention that saying it will help all parties cooperate:

"You also know that I started my career with computers, and I didn't go to school in the UK recently, which is also a place with a strong academic culture, and I plan to set up a computer lab in the UK. This is one of them. ”

"The second is that I do work with a professor-level virus expert to study new drugs, at least I have the ambition to develop in this direction, and I am very sure. However, we still lack more resources, such as in-depth understanding of the entire medical industry, such as networking, all kinds of networking, which is the biggest obstacle at present. ”

Looking at Li Ka-shing's attentive appearance, Alice continued: "It's 88 years now, and there is still a while before the return date of the Sino-British Joint Declaration, but after all, it has caused a lot of capital outflows. Having been a colony for so many years, whether it is Hong Kong or your Li family, they all have an innate advantage in investing in Britain, don't they?"

Left and right, useful or useless, Alice just keeps instilling new ideas for Li Ka-shing. Her mood was always calm, but as she could see, Li Ka-shing listened to her very carefully from beginning to end. Although the posture of the other elder's posture is very qualified, in the process of the actual conversation between the two, Alice has never fallen behind.

Because it's only 1988 after all, Alice is certainly not afraid that the other party will not cooperate with her. Because at this time, although Li Ka-shing has made outstanding achievements, he is still basically confined to Hong Kong, and he is far from being the future Li Chaoman.

To put it mildly, he needs Alice much more now than Alice needs him!

As a matter that can be known at her fingertips, since Alice will take the initiative to find Li Ka-shing, she naturally knows the current level of his career development.

Of course, as a real businessman, not a freak like Alice who knows the future and has a brilliant brain, Li Ka-shing is already a remarkable man, a legend.

Li Ka-shing was appointed a Justice of the Peace in 1981 and was elected as the "Man of the Year in Hong Kong", from 1985 to 1990 he served as a member of the Drafting Committee for the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and in 1986 he was knighted by the King of Belgium and conferred upon him the title of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa.

In this way, it was on February 6 of the year of 86 that Hong Kong's "Hong Kong Economic Journal" ranked the top ten consortia in Hong Kong, and the market value of the four listed companies in the Cheung Kong system reached 34.3 billion Hong Kong dollars, ranking first!

Well, yes, that's the point.

HK$34.3 billion, topping the list.

That's about $4.5 billion.

Well, yes, just about forty-five billion dollars.

Did Alice encourage him?

Don't coax.

Do the Li Ka-shing family dare to ignore Alice's existence?

Can't.

Even when he acquired Hutchison Whampoa by chance, Li Ka-shing only used more than HK$600 million -- US$90 million, and by chance, he leveraged the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, which had total assets of US$6.5 billion, US$800 million.

Indeed, this is a big move that Alice is difficult to throw in one breath now, and it can only be achieved by loans before the "87 stock market crash" begins.

But how many years has it taken for Li Ka-shing to reach this level?

Alice, who had just established Cisco in 84, invested in a $1.2 billion property in Ginza, Japan, with loans and installments as early as last year!

Today's meeting is many times more important than yesterday's visit to the power plant, but Sophie was involved in the former and did not attend this time, and this is precisely why. Compared with Alice's desire to cooperate with the Li Ka-shing family, the richest man in Hong Kong is actually looking forward to having an intimate exchange with Alice.

A genius girl who has accumulated a net worth of more than one billion yuan in three years, the highest part of which is earned by seizing the opportunity to sell short and speculate in stocks, a move that only the most astute businessmen can make. The old man must like to play music when he meets a child, but no one can erase the seemingly invisible, but real gap in the middle.

"Allow me, though, not to take you to the small town of Windsor right away to visit Professor Delov's lab. Alice said: "Because I just took advantage of the beginning of last year's stock market crash, invested hundreds of millions of shares in Intel, and their shareholders' meeting at the beginning of the year should begin, I need to go back to Silicon Valley first, and I will leave in a few days." ”

"Intel...... "So, the more the conversation progresses, the more obvious the gap between the two sides of the talks actually exists. Listening to Alice's words, Li Ka-shing lifted his glasses and asked in a slightly uncertain tone: "It's true that I don't pay enough attention to Silicon Valley, but this seems to be really big news, you have a stake in Intel...... I'm remembering 400 million, right?"

"That's right, four hundred million dollars. Alice said the word lightly, this Li Ka-shing did not know how many office buildings he had to sell before he could make a profit in Hong Kong.

Of course, the subtle gap in speech between the two was also easily captured by Li Zeju, who just graduated from Stanford three years ago.

It's all in English, and when my father says the word 400 million, he simply says 400 million, while Alice adds "dollars", which is a very important unit.

A small word, but it means a difference of 7.8 times the actual funding.

The meeting lasted from noon to lunch, and Alice, who was born in Teochew, was in the Li family's mansion, so of course it was inevitable that they would talk further at the dinner table.

Of course, from beginning to end, she will reveal very limited information to Li Ka-shing, and of course she will not stupidly say about the discovery of the "i virus", as for the research and development of ternary computers, it is even more "unreliable" than letting China achieve the moon landing, and now it can be said that it is really a ghost.

But even if he brews something casually, it is enough for Li Ka-shing to refuse this protracted cooperation no matter what.

"Think about it, if you have a phone completely covered by a screen, and then the user can manipulate it by simply tapping the screen, is there any doubt about the profit in between?"

Just talk about the idea of a touch screen, and the basic principles are enough to fool anyone. (To be continued.) )
