Chapter 30 Inventory
On January 14, in Hong Kong, in the HSBC headquarters building.
"Do you know what Sir Shen Bi says about you?"
Shen Chong raised his eyebrows and said in English, "Wonder boy? β
"He said that your eyes can see through the earth." Fei Litong pinched a golden mirror Rubik's cube in both hands, paused for a moment, and then continued: "But your financial management ability is not as good as that of a newborn baby!" β
Shen Chong and Fei Litong have gotten along many times and are more familiar with each other, so he smiled when he heard the words and asked, "Why do you say that?" β
Fei Litong put down the Rubik's Cube, he knocked on the thick text on the table with his hand, and asked, "Do you know how valuable these properties are?" β
"I don't know." Shen Chong shook his head and said: "If I were clear, I wouldn't have entrusted you with accounting, in Hong Kong, who doesn't know how ruthless HSBC's knife is?" β
"Alan, you're such an idiot." Fei Litong sighed and said in a frustrated tone: "With just these few papers, I can raise 5ooo dollars for you, if only let me see them before the Hutchison Whampoa deal......"
The transaction of Hutchison Whampoa is extremely confidential, almost a one-to-one transaction between Shen Bi and Li Ka-shing, and after the two reached an agreement, the board of directors was convened to announce that the major directors were kept in the dark, and Fei Litong naturally didn't know the inside story, so he was very sorry that Shen Chong lost an opportunity to eat a big deal.
"It doesn't matter, it's hard to earn 1ooo, it's easy to earn 1ooo." Shen Chong smiled, and then asked, "So, my assets are worth $5ooo dollars?" β
"5ooo is the maximum amount of financing I can get." Fei Litong was frustrated by his lack of financial knowledge, sighed again, and said: "Based on the current level of profitability and future market prospects, HSBC has valued your assets at 2. $5.3 billion, congratulations, Alan, you are now the youngest billionaire in the world and the fastest billionaire to make money. β
"Huh?!" Shen Chong was very surprised, genuinely surprised, he made an exaggerated backward movement, leaned back in the chair, and said, "This is over 100 million?" And more than 200 million? β
"Sir Shen Bi said that you have a good eye, but I think you are lucky." Fei Litong didn't know whether to stay up late or be jealous, his eyes were red, and he said in stiff Chinese: "Shit luck." β
Shen Chong laughed, and then asked, "Is it really over 200 million?" β
"Really." Fei Litong picked up the top text, handed it to him, and said: "Congratulations again, Alan, you are now HSBC's top VIP customer, and we will provide you with 'home office' services." β
Shen Chong took it, opened the text, and looked carefully, he didn't know much about finance, but the numbers on it should look very cool......
HSBC is extremely powerful, in a sense, it is the government behind Hong Kong, and the future is very smooth, in the 21st century, it is the world's third-largest banking group, with assets of more than $5 trillion, and its influence in Asia is particularly huge.
Behind the soaring wealth of Li Ka-shing, Bao Yugang and others, there is the shadow of HSBC, which is a very powerful boost, and the Chinese mainland bank, at least for 2o years, will not be of much help to Shen Chong......
So before going to Beijing, Shen Chong handled the private banking business at HSBC, authorized them to count their assets, and so far, the stall is big, and he can no longer fool around with a checkbook like before, and needs to be helped by a professional financial financial institution.
After reading the valuation text, Shen Chong was a little stunned - the valuation was too low!
Visica1c can only run on Apple II, and the current Apple II models combined, sales have just crossed the 5o mark, at this time people lack enough understanding of the sales model of software-driven hardware, coupled with little hope of obtaining patents, there are similar functional products on the market, so Visica1c although the ability to absorb gold is amazing, the valuation is only more than 4ooo.
Similar to Visica1c, because Atari VCS has been selling mediocre before, the current North American market has only more than 3oo units, and Activision itself does not produce consoles, so Tetris's valuation is also very low, only 7ooo thousand.
On the contrary, it is the software sales chain store that has been burning money, because the business model is mature, the sales are soaring, and the profit prospects are promising, so the valuation is quite high, Shen Chong only accounts for sixty percent of the shares, and the valuation is over 5ooo million.
Although the sales volume of the Rubik's Cube is huge, the market competition is fierce, the business growth is slow, and the profits are declining, so the valuation of Shen Chong's half of the shares is only more than 5500000.
All this, combined with the patent valuation of the Rubik's Cube, totals 2. $5.3 billion.
Apple II will soon sell more than 1oo million units......
The Atari VCS can sell 1oo units in one Christmas, and the final market ownership is 260,000 units......
With only two numbers jΓΉ, 2. 5.3 billion to at least double!
However, it doesn't matter, Shen Chong has a feeling of complete collapse at this time - only ten months, he has a net worth of more than 200 million US dollars, what else is there to play in this world?
Shen Chong has always felt that he is very poor, and he can't imagine that he is already rich......
"Allen...... Allan? β
"Huh?" Shen Chong came back to his senses, scratched his fingers on the cover of Wen JiΓ n's clip, and after half a sound, asked: "Mr. Fei, if the price of gold rises to 8oo dollars an ounce, how much can I earn from my 8oo yuan?" β
"That's impossible." Fei Litong shook his head and said, "The United States will not allow gold to rise to as high as $8oo. β
"What if?"
Fei Litong picked up the pen, calculated on the paper, and said: "Based on the current gold price, 1oo times leverage, if the gold price rises to 8oo dollars, your 8oo will become 2." $5.4 billion. β
Shen Chong sighed, it turned out that he was not rich, but rich......
"Allen, as an investment advisor, I have to warn you." Feliton said; "Gold futures are in a big bubble right now, and you have chosen such a high level of leverage, which is dangerous."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Shen Chong waved his hand and said lightly: "Even if you lose everything, you can earn it back in a few months." β
Feliton opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything, just shook his head.
"By the way, what did you just say about the home office, what is it?"
"It's the best private banking service HSBC has to offer." Fei Litong lifted his spirits, picked up a Wen JiΓ n folder, handed it over, and introduced: "We will build a team composed of top elites to provide you with the most professional services." β
Shen Chong took the text and opened it to take a closer look.
"Family office" (Fami1y-office) is the top form of private banking services, the threshold is very high, the total amount of property must be more than 5ooo US dollars to apply, by the investment consultant, legal advisers, accountants and other professionals composed of a team, to provide investment, financial management, tax avoidance, collection, wills and other services, claiming to be able to provide any service at any time, anywhere.
The service is expensive, with an annual fee of millions of dollars, but after Shen Chong learned the details, he didn't hesitate to sign the contract.
With HSBC's global service network and deep influence, in the future, if he wants to spend money, invest, and poach people, he can just make a phone call, and he doesn't need to run around with his wallet or go to great lengths to get into relationships, and he can save a lot of time and energy to tinker with movies.
After signing all the documents and the idle people disappeared, Shen Chong picked up the coffee cup and said, "Mr. Fei, since I have chosen this service, who should be responsible for this negotiation with Apple?" β
"Alan, you are our top client, even if you don't choose home office services, we will do our best." Shen Chong chose the service, Fei Litong should benefit a lot, he was full of excitement, and said very attentively: "This negotiation will be personally handled by Mr. Pu Weishi, the general manager of the international business department of HSBC, after receiving your reply telegram, he has flown to Boston yesterday. β
"That's good." Shen Chong was very satisfied, although after learning that his net worth was hundreds of millions, Apple's shares were no longer so important to him, but mosquito legs were also meat, not to mention that they were mosquito legs like elephants......
Moreover, Apple's appeal in Silicon Valley is extraordinary, and its hardware research capabilities are strong, which is a good opportunity to meddle in computer hardware -- if you want to play computer special effects, the hardware is not good, and everything is empty talk.
Shen Chong spent the whole day in the HSBC headquarters building to get all the documents and contracts, and that night, he found a Western restaurant and invited Fei Litong to dinner.
"Fei, how did you think about writing a book?"
"There is a proverb in my hometown that says that this is the case, so why lie about it." Fei Litong elegantly cut the steak and said, "Mr. Shen's example is right in front of me, what else can I hesitate about." β
When Shen Chong heard this, he hurriedly put down the knife and fork, leaned over to shake hands with him, and said with a smile: "Fei, I have been waiting for this day, I have been waiting for a long time, I wish you a happy cooperation." β
The concept of "knowledge economy" that he mentioned in the "Ming Pao Weekly" was very interested, and he repeatedly asked him to discuss, Shen Chong is a half-, how can he say it clearly, he can only rely on the memory of the scales and claws, and after each discussion, it will not be long before Fei Litong can develop his words into a relatively rigorous theory, and then continue to discuss with him......
After doing this a few times, Shen Chong now had a good opportunity to brush up his prestige - he would never be able to write a professional book or thesis, but if Fei Litong did, he could at least mix up a co-author's signature.
Now that I have money, I lack fame......
So he repeatedly bewitched Fei Litong to write, but he kept refusing on the grounds that the theory was not complete enough and the examples were not rich enough, which made Shen Chonggan anxious, and now he finally got what he wanted.
