Chapter 179: Bao Yu has just become the king of ships
On August 1, Li Yisong, Li Huawen, Li Hualong, Bao Yugang and Bao Zhaolong (Bao Yugang's father) attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the first terminal of Hong Kong International Terminals Co., Ltd., Kwai Chung Container Terminal.
At a time when Hong Kong's real estate industry was still at a low ebb and many construction workers could not find jobs, the pace of this huge project was steadily advanced with the help of sufficient funds.
After participating in the ribbon cutting, Li Hualong and others did not rush to leave the dock, they walked around the pier together.
Li Hualong asked: "Brother Bao, how much time do you estimate it will take, this container terminal can make money." ”
Bao Yugang smiled heartily and said: "If you don't count the expenses for repaying bank loans, you should be able to make a profit next month." Because we have to repay the bank loan, we shareholders may have to wait for about half a year if we want to get dividends. ”
"I'm a little more optimistic than you." Li Hualong said with a smile, "Starting next month, we can get dividends." ”
"If that's the case, that's great!" Pao Yugang said happily, "Aaron, if the Hong Kong stock market and the international shipping industry are good next year, I want the Global Shipping Group to be listed in Hong Kong...... What do you think? ”
"That's good." Li Hualong smiled, "When Global Shipping is listed, when I am short of money, I can sell it and cash out." ”
"You're still short of money, you're the richest man in Hong Kong now." Bao Yugang quipped, "Everyone says that you are richer than the Hong Kong government." ”
"Rich people are short of money, and I still owe a lot of money to the bank."
"You owe money to the bank, and the bank is not afraid that you will not pay it back."
Li Hualong smiled noncommittally and turned his head to look at the sea.
Li Yisong interjected and asked: "Yugang, what do you estimate that the market value of Global Shipping Group will be able to reach when it goes public next year?" ”
Bao Yugang smiled confidently: "It will definitely be able to exceed three billion." ”
"Or do you have the ability." Li Huawen smiled slightly, "At the beginning, when you founded the global shipping company, I was richer than you, and now, you are richer than me." ”
"Huawen, I'm not necessarily richer than you!" Bao Yugang said, "Although I am the major shareholder of Global Shipping Group, this company is not my own, and you have a number of companies with a market value of more than 100 million, and you hold a market value of more than 500 million Hong Kong dollars in the shares of Huawen Real Estate, right?" ”
"Not as much as you say." Li Huawen shook his head with a smile.
"How much?" Bao Yugang asked curiously.
"Recently, the share price of Huawen Real Estate Company has fluctuated around HK$5.8, and I hold 80 million shares, just over 460 million shares."
"More than 46 million Hong Kong dollars, which is already a lot." Bao Yugang said with a smile, "Jiu'an Group is your sole proprietorship, and the market value of this company is higher than that of Huawen Real Estate Company. ”
"Jiuan Group's profitability is far less than that of Global Shipping Group." Li Huawen shook his head, "The market value of the Global Shipping Group is higher. ”
Global Shipping Group is not a listed company and does not need to announce its results, although Li Huawen is not a shareholder of this company and does not hold a position in this company, but Li Hualong is a shareholder of this company. Two days ago, Li Huawen and Li Hualong chatted about the situation of the Global Shipping Group, and after learning about the profitability and net asset value of this company, Li Huawen was particularly surprised, he knew the time when the company's home port was met, and the scale at the beginning of its establishment.
"Have you ever thought about when to let Jiuan Group go public?" Bao Yugang asked.
"For the time being, there is no idea of listing Jiuan Group." Li Huawen smiled.
The rapid rise of the global shipping group is inseparable from the helm of Bao Yugang, at the beginning, when he and Li Hualong jointly established this company, Hong Kong's shipping industry has several companies with stronger financial strength than global shipping, more than ten years have passed, the global shipping group has left those "predecessors" far behind, and Bao Yugang has also become a world-renowned ship king.
Bao Yugang is a bold and careful person, and he has strong communication skills, if it were not for his good relationship with HSBC's Taipan, HSBC would not have taken a stake in Global Shipping Group.
HSBC invested in the Global Shipping Group in 1964, at that time, the operating price of the global voyage was 150 million Hong Kong dollars, HSBC injected 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and obtained 25 shares, the original shareholders' shares shrank a little, Li Hualong held 22.5 shares, and the Bao Yugang family held 52.5 shares.
After HSBC became a shareholder of Global Shipping Group, it stepped up its support for the company, and shortly after taking a stake, HSBC issued a low-interest loan of HK$80 million to Global Shipping Company, which at that time also aroused the envy of Li Hualong.
With a capital of HK$130 million, Pao Yugang has been working at full speed to lead the rapid development and growth of the Global Shipping Group.
Li Hualong also admires Bao Yugang's ability to manage the company, and ordinary people can't control such a huge shipping company.
After chatting for a few words, Bao Yugang took the initiative to ask about Li Huawen and asked, "What is the most profitable business under Jiuan Group?" ”
"Engineering Contracting."
Bao Yugang smiled and asked, "Your quarry is making gold every day, right?" ”
"It's not as exaggerated as you say. Besides, the quarry is not an asset of Jiu'an Group, I directly hold shares in this company, and my father, Ah Long and Ah Hu all hold shares in Li's Stone Company. Li Huawen smiled slightly and sighed, "I have made some money in recent years, and in the first few years, I worked for the bank." ”
"It's a good thing that the bank is willing to lend you money, and many people want to ask the bank if they can't borrow money! Without the bank's loan support, your family might not have bought Anderson Road Quarry. ”
"yes!" Li Huawen smiled and nodded.
Li Hualong asked with a smile: "Brother Bao, do you think there are many people who want to ask the bank to borrow money, or many people who don't want to?" ”
Bao Yugang was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "If you ask this, there must be many people who don't want to." ”
Bao Zhaolong smiled: "Most of the general public only think about being diligent and thrifty, thinking about saving. When you borrow money from a bank, the interest rate is not low, and for ordinary people to do business, the risk is quite large, and even fewer people are willing to bear this risk. ”
Li Yisong sighed: "The little rich rely on diligence and thrift, and the big rich rely on the destiny of heaven!" ”
Li Hualong laughed and said: "My life is up to the sky!" ”
"Third child, don't be too crazy." Li Yisong quipped, "Even if you become the richest person in the world, what can you do, go against God and let you die young, then you will lose." ”
"Phew!" Li Hualong smiled bitterly, "Abba, is there a father like you...... You can't hope for my good?! ”
"I'm telling the truth." Li Yisong smiled slightly, raised his hand and patted Li Hualong's shoulder, "You, you have never encountered any setbacks in your life, it is too smooth and too successful, I don't even know what to say about you." ”
"Brother Li, Ah Long has done a successful business and gone smoothly, this is Ah Long's ability." Bao Zhaolong smiled, "You're still not satisfied?" ”
"Satisfaction is satisfaction, it's just too distracting." Li Yisong shook his head with a smile, "When he gets old, his children will definitely fight over the family property and quarrel all over the world." ”
"Abba, you don't have to worry about this." Li Hualong smiled, "When I reach your age, I will also divide the family property, of course, I will not divide it all, and I will leave some good deeds." My children and grandchildren will retire early so that my children and grandchildren will have the opportunity to display their talents. ”
"Let's hope so, home and everything will be prosperous!" Li Yisong sighed.
A few days later, "New Tangshan Big Brother" was completed, and producer Xi Chongjian, director Zhang Che and starring Bruce Lee returned to Hong Kong.
Li Hualong learned that Xi Chongjian had returned to Hong Kong, so he made a special call to the other party and asked the other party to bring his family to his house for dinner.
Before dinner, Li Hualong and Xi Chongjian came to the yard for a walk together.
After chatting a few words about the topic of "New Tangshan Big Brother", Xi Chongjian sighed: "Aaron, Bruce Lee really has the potential to become an international superstar. ”
"I already knew, otherwise, I wouldn't have given him such good signing conditions."
"The aura is too much. Director Zhang Che has also worked with many big-name stars, but for the first time working with Bruce Lee, he is very willing to listen to Bruce Lee's opinion. ”
"The reason why Director Zhang Che is like this, Bruce Lee's aura is enough is one thing, and there is another main willingness, I asked Zhang Che to listen to Bruce Lee's opinions more."
"Oh, I see!" Xi Chongjian suddenly realized.
"You didn't know about it before?"
"I don't know, I haven't heard you say it, and no one has sued me." Xi Chongjian smiled and said, "This is also very good, I feel that Zhang Che and Bruce Lee have cooperated very well." ”
"Don't delay the post-production of the film "New Tangshan Big Brother", release it as soon as possible."
"You're not very optimistic about the box office results of this film, why don't you wait until the Christmas slot is released?" Xi Chongjian asked puzzled.
"If "New Tangshan Big Brother" is filmed at the level I demanded, even if it doesn't have a good current issue, it is very likely to set a new box office record in Hong Kong. When the film is a big hit in Hong Kong, we will talk about overseas sales. ”
The two chatted for a while, then walked to the pool in the backyard and saw more than a dozen children playing in the pool.
Seeing that his children and Xi Chongjian's four children got along very well, Li Hualong said with a smile: "Chongjian, we may become sons and daughters in the future." ”
Xi Chongjian's sister Xi Chongyi married Li Hualong, if Xi Chongjian's child married Xi Chongyi's child, it was a marriage between close relatives, Li Hualong naturally did not allow it, but the child born to him by Yang Meng, Chen Sisi and Liu Minchen had no blood relationship with Xi Chongjian's child, so he could naturally get married.
"Seriously, I'm a little afraid to climb high!" Xi Chongjian joked.
"Are you worried that my son will grow up to be too preoccupied?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.
"I have a feeling that your sons will not grow up to be like you emotionally."
"It's not as good as me, and I want them to be more dedicated." Li Hualong paused for a moment as he spoke, and then asked, "Do you think I have double standards?" ”
"You are a man, not a god!" Xi Chongjian replied to the question.
"Haha!" Li Hualong laughed, "You're right, I'm just a layman, if I want to be a saint, I will be very tired." ”R1152
