"Just the two of them?" When Bao Yugang heard the news, he raised his two thick eyebrows and asked, "Are there anyone else?"
"There's one more person, but it's not Niu Bijian." Wu Guangzheng said: "It's Chen Songqing of Jianing Group
"Chen Songqing? What did he go to do? After Bao Yugang pondered for a while, his brows furrowed and asked, "What do you think of this matter?" ”
"The meeting between the two Shen should not be for the sake of Wharf. Shen Chong invested heavily in the United States, but did not pass HSBC, Shen Bi must ask clearly. Wu Guangzheng analyzed: "Although Chen Songqing bought the Golden Gate Building out of the limelight, but his strength is limited, only a small role, and there is no Wharf shares in his hands, take him to see Shen Chong, Shen Bi should be to avoid suspicion, to us and Jardine Matheson Matheson, HSBC in this Wharf battle for a neutral position, the two do not help." ”
Bao Yugang has no sons, only four daughters, Wu Guangzheng is the second son-in-law, shrewd and strong, flexible mind, the future is likely to be the next head of the Bao family, this analysis, reasonable, good vision, so that Bao Yugang is extremely satisfied, he smiled and nodded, said: "You and I think the same." Although I am also a director of HSBC, but it is just a false name, HSBC is a British bank, Shen Bi has the sole power, he does not nod, HSBC will not lend me a dime, but HSBC does not help each other, it is not bad news, we have more equity than Hongkong Group10 They have invested everywhere in the past few years, and now the cash in hand is definitely not as much as us, as long as HSBC does not help, Wharf will sooner or later be in the bag of our Bao family. ”
"Jardine and Land's thinking is conservative, so there is no need to worry, but Dad's ......" Wu Guangzheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you think Shen Chong will come out halfway to stir up the situation?" ”
"Him?" Bao Yugang was silent this time, and after a long while, he asked, "Why do you think so?"
"He has Wharf shares in his hands, and he has the capital to continue to buy them." Wu Guangzheng picked up a document in front of him, handed it to Bao Yugang, and said, "Dad, you see, this is Shen Chong's business, film production, video tape rental, magazine media, video games, software chain stores, and toys. Recently, he spent hundreds of millions of dollars in the United States, two months, many people think that he has no money, in fact, after I comprehensively analyzed the reports of major media in the United States, I found that most of the money he used came from the income of video game and software chain stores, and the business income in Hong Kong has not been touched, film production, video tape rental and magazine media are just that, all small money, the key is the toy business, the Rubik's Cube and the cabbage doll are shipped to the United States and Europe through our ships, I checked, from the beginning of the listing, The average monthly shipment of cauliflower dolls is as high as 00,000 sets, and the price of a set of cauliflower dolls is in US dollars, plus the Rubik's cube, just calculate, Shen Chong's funds are not less than ours. ”
"After making so much capital in a year, the future is terrible, the future is terrible" Bao Yugang carefully read the documents, looked up and said: "Actually, whether he has money or not, I'm not worried, his family business and heritage are far inferior to ours, he can't smash us, I'm worried about another thing." ”
"What?"
"Li Ka-shing told me that he and Wheelock joined forces to sell the property, and Shen Chong knew it clearly, but he did not cut off the beard, but instead helped him with financing, and clearly stated that he was not interested in real estate." Bao Yugang leaned back in his chair and said, "But he quietly bought the shares of Wharf this time, and I am worried that someone is behind it." ”
Wu Guangzheng had a flash of inspiration, was taken aback, and said, "Dad, are you worried about the mainland government?" ”
"That's right." Bao Yugang bowed slightly, and said: "Wharf not only has wharves and warehouses, but also Star Ferries and trams, all of which are closely related to the daily life of the people. ”
Wu Guangzheng's expression changed and said, "This is unlikely, right? When I went to Beijing in March, no one said that they would immediately take back Hong Kong, but they were all talking about "one country, two systems" to ensure that Hong Kong would maintain its long-term prosperity. ”
"We haven't seen the supreme leader, who will tell us the truth?" Bao Yugang sighed and said: "I want to donate 10uu US dollars to build a hotel in Beijing, no one dares to accept the check until now, and Beijing wants to buy a plane, but first came to Hong Kong to find Shen Chong, this is the difference between myself and outsiders." ”
Wu Guangzheng was silent.
"Of course, all this may just be my worries." Bao Yugang sat up straight and said: "The world's shipping industry is shrinking, we must abandon the boat and go ashore, and transform as soon as possible, Wharf is related to the future of the Bao family, and we have to fight, so let's contact Shen Chong to see what his purpose is, if it is just speculation to make quick money, everything is easy to say, the price is with him, in short, the shares in his hand cannot be taken by Jardine Matheson." ”
"Okay, I'll contact him."
Wu Guangzheng stood up, walked to the door, and was stopped by Bao Yugang again, and said: "Now the situation is sensitive, you go to contact him, and if Niu Bijian knows, there will definitely be a big move, we are not rich enough funds now, Jardine Matheson has a big business, and there are many properties, if you break the kettle and sell assets to raise funds, it will be very troublesome to deal with." ”
After frowning and thinking for a while, he ordered: "Shen Chong's toy company has always been in charge of a woman named Li Kaiyuan, does Ah Rong recognize her?" ”
"I guess I know." Wu Guangzheng walked back and said, "I heard Ah Rong say that she once met Ma Guo Zhiqing's party, and she was a very low-key woman. ”
"Then let Ah Rong find an excuse to get in touch with her and find out the wind, the sooner the better."
"This kind of thing, she's a woman, it's hard to know the inside story, right?"
"Not really." Bao Yugang shook his head and said: "This woman is not simple, I am in Beijing, and I heard that the two of them are married, and the leader we met but failed to meet witnessed the marriage. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Wu Guangzheng's eyes froze and said, "What is the origin of this surnamed Shen?"
"Maybe he doesn't have any background, just a flat-headed people, but a flat-headed people who can earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year will look up to them." Bao Yugang looked down at the document that Wu Guangzheng had just given him, and said: "I look at his family history, every step is a matter of course, it seems that God is helping him, and heaven and earth are working together, this is a person with great fortune." ”
