CHAPTER XXV
Shen Chong finished running errands at Fei Litong, and went to Shen Bi's office by the way, he is now close to Shen Bi, there is no need to make an appointment in advance, and a high-ranking person may not be busy every day, when he entered, Shen Bi was wearing a magnifying glass with a miniature spotlight, and was concentrating on fiddling with his watch. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"AI, please sit casually, I'll be fine right away." Without an appointment, there is no matter, Shen Bi didn't care, he instructed the secretary, and said, "Dat, bring Mr. Shen a cup of black tea." ”
"You please continue." Shen Chong sat down on the sofa and said, "Dat, please bring me a newspaper by the way." ”
After about ten minutes, Shen Bi took off the magnifying glass, carefully placed it in a delicate wooden box with the watch, and said: "The watch is the most outstanding invention of mankind, with it, human beings know the preciousness of time, and you should also collect some AI." ”
"There is a story in China about a poor man who met a god who moved his finger and turned the stone into gold and gave it to the poor man, and the poor man said, I don't want gold, I want your finger." Shen Chong put down the newspaper and said with a smile: "I prefer to collect people who make watches than watches." ”
"AI, you're so greedy." Shen Bi laughed, he put the box in the drawer and asked, "Are you interested in watchmaking?" Could it be that this time I went to Japan and acquired Seiko or Casio? ”
"No, no." Shen Chong shook his head and said: "I am not interested in electronic watches, on the contrary, if I really want to enter the watchmaking industry, I am very interested in Swiss mechanical watches." ”
Shen Bi was slightly stunned, and then said: "I thought you were only interested in electronics and high technology, you must know that the Swiss watchmaking industry used to be very brilliant, but now it is the era of electronic watches and quartz watches, in recent years, more than a dozen watchmaking houses in Switzerland have gone bankrupt every year, including many century-old shops." ”
"Women have earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings and so much more." Shen Chong raised his wrist and said: "There is only one men's jewelry, and that is watches, electronic watches are ordinary consumer goods, mechanical watches are luxury goods, I believe that the Swiss watchmaking industry will soon be revived, especially high-end brands." ”
"Your vision is very unique." Shen Bi agreed, saying: "Although the trend of electronic watches is accurate, the design is boring, mechanical watches have unparalleled beauty, and every famous watch is a work of art." ”
"NH1 You are the most famous watch collector in Hong Kong and even in the Far East, why don't we work together and go to Switzerland to buy a watchmaker?"
Shen Bi's eyes flickered, but after all, he shook his head and refused, saying, "AI, I can't participate in business that has nothing to do with banking. ”
Shen Chong just smiled, and did not persuade again, the revival of the Swiss watch industry is still a matter of several years, and even if it is revived, the return on investment ratio is not as good as the computer industry.
After the two chatted casually for a while, Shen Bi asked, "You were reading the South China Morning Post just now, what do you think of today's news?" ”
Shen Chong picked up the newspaper beside him, flipped to the front page, pointed and said, "You said this?" ”
The front page in the newspaper was headlined "Second Superman or Second God of Wealth?" The content is that Chen Songqing announced yesterday that he had paid all the money for the acquisition of the Golden Gate Building "on schedule", and at the same time announced that some buyers were willing to pay 14. 300 million huge money to buy the Golden Gate Building, he bought the Golden Gate Building in the month of 9.8 billion at the price of 9.8 billion, only half a year later, it skyrocketed more than 400 million, can be described as a big profit, the news came out, the share price of Jianing Group rose sharply, climbed to a record high of the U block, the market value is close to 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
At the beginning of 1979, Jianing Group was only a small property developer, Chen Songqing's personal property was about 10uu more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, in just one year, Jianing grew into the leader of Hong Kong's small and medium-sized real estate developers, second only to Cheung Kong Industrial, Hongkong Group, Sun Hung Kai and New World Development, these giants, and Chen Songqing holds 75 shares of Jianing Group, according to today's market value, the net worth is as high as 900 million, which can be called a rocket.
If there is no Shen Chong, Chen Songqing must be the most popular businessman in Hong Kong at this time.
The last unintentional words were passed out by Chen Songqing, so that Shen Chong grabbed the handle, Shen Bi was very unhappy about this, but after all, he is a professional banker, and his personal perception is not important, if Chen Songqing can really become the next Li Ka-shing or Shen Chong, it will bring immeasurable benefits to HSBC, so when the incident subsided, he did not pursue Chen Songqing's responsibility, but kept an eye on it.
Li Ka-shing has more than 10 years of experience in real estate development, stable operation, good reputation, and also holds a large number of land reserves, Shen Chong has Rubik's Cube, cabbage dolls, video games These best-selling products, both of them have a solid foundation, and cooperate with them, the risk is very low, but Jianing Group can not find more sources of profit in addition to speculating on a few buildings, and speculating on real estate has always been a high-risk business, Shen Bi couldn't make up his mind for a while, whether to support Chen Songqing, he supported the desk with his arms, and asked: " AI Everyone in Hong Kong says that your vision is extraordinary, I don't know what you think of Chen? ”
"I only have one side to him." Shen Chong was noncommittal and said: "And I don't understand real estate, and I have no interest in this industry." ”
"You want to build the tallest building in Asia in the mainland, and you take the Golden Gate building from Jardine Matheson, and you don't understand real estate."
"The mainland and Hong Kong are completely different." Shen Chong defended: "Building a building in Hong Kong, it can be resold after it is built, which is called real estate development, and building a building in the mainland, it cannot be sold after it is built, it can only be used, this is called infrastructure construction, which are two concepts." ”
"AI, you know what?" Shen Bi showed a playful smile and said: "Sometimes there is no attitude, it is attitude, you are very good at making friends, Hong Kong, the mainland, Taiwan, Japan, the United States, there are your friends everywhere, there are many people, as long as you know each other, you can quickly become friends, but after you met Chen, you never contacted him again, right?" I heard that he once called your office but you didn't reply. ”
"Is there one? How I don't know. Shen Chong perfunctory and said: "I'm busy, and he is also busy, maybe he missed it." ”
"No, no, no, I don't think you'll make this kind of mistake, you value socializing, you just came back from Singapore the day before yesterday, and you're going to restructure the company, and you're very busy today, but you still come to me to chat, right." Shen Bi laughed and said, "I think you are very wary of him, why?" ”
"You can't have two tigers on a mountain." Shen Chong also smiled and said, "Maybe I just don't like him stealing my limelight." ”
After leaving HSBC and returning to the office of Oriental Charm, Shen Chong immediately called Lin Xingzhi and asked him to send a senior reporter to focus on the news of Jianing Group.
