Chapter 25: Decision
readx;?“ You're really, sitting in the bathtub and reading the papers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Li Kaiyuan pushed open the bathroom door and said, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't take official business home?" ”
"If I don't look at these things, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep while washing." Shen Chong smiled bitterly, raised his arm, put the documents on the shelf next to the bathtub, and said: "I just got off the plane yesterday, and the jet lag didn't come up, I got up at U o'clock this morning, and I rotated for 15 hours in a row, and I was tired like a puddle of mud." ”
"Then why don't you hurry up and wash up and go to bed." Li Kaiyuan complained to him and said, "What are you rubbing in the bathtub?" ”
"It's so comfortable here, I don't want to get up as soon as I sit down." Shen Chong lazily moved his legs and said: "The big house is good, this double bathtub with constant temperature and massage is even more wonderful, or you can try it too, Mandarin duck bath water is my dream all along." ”
Li Kaiyuan gave him a blank look, the two of them were old husbands and wives, and there was nothing to be shy about, and said: "I have a cold, I'm afraid of infection, next time." ”
"It's okay, wait for me to recharge my energy, and have fun next time."
"I'm tired and I don't change my heart when I die" Li Kaiyuan picked up the document he put down and said, "I'll help you take it out, so as not to get wet, you quickly wipe it and go out to sleep." ”
Shen Chong struggled a few times, forced himself to break free from the shackles of warm water, got up from the bathtub, wiped it casually with a bath towel, wrapped himself in a bathrobe, and walked out.
"You're going to open a bookstore?" Li Kaiyuan sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the bedroom, raised the document in his hand, and asked, "I took a casual look just now." ”
"Why do you say such things, I never hide from you when I do things, I don't tell you some things, I'm just afraid that you will be annoyed." Shen Chong lifted the quilt, sat on the bed, and said, "I plan to merge the Hong Kong branches of the three time-honored publishing houses, Sanlian Bookstore, Zhonghua Book Company, and Commercial Press, to form a new large publishing house. ”
"These three publishing houses are all Chinese-controlled institutions, and it is very difficult to merge, you see my dad and them, two half-dead film companies have been merging for more than half a year, and they are still arguing about trivial things." Li Kaiyuan put down the document and said, "It's better for you to invest yourself and start a new publishing house." ”
"It's easy to build a publishing house, but it's hard to build a brand and channels quickly." Shen Chong yawned and said: "These three publishing houses have a history of several decades, and they are well-known brands in the Chinese publishing industry. ”
"Then you should be prepared to take it slowly, I am most impatient with the inefficiency of the mainland government." Li Kaiyuan stood up and said, "Go to sleep, don't wait for me, I'll go sleep with Tianbao tonight." ”
"Huh?"
"The house here is too big, she just moved in, and she was scared at night, so let me spend a few nights with her."
"Okay, then you can go." Shen Chong looked up at her and said, "I think Tianbao seems to have something on her mind, she has been sullen today, not as sharp as usual, and she was excited to run around the house last time she moved." ”
"Kids." Li Kaiyuan didn't care, and said: "We often fly around, stay in hotels everywhere, get used to it, she just got acquainted with living there, and moved here again, maybe she won't get used to it for a while."
"That's right."
"That's right." Li Kaiyuan walked to the door, turned back and said: "This afternoon, my sister suddenly asked me to go to her, saying that it was a new batch of European summer clothes, let me go and see, I was there with her, and I saw the second lady of the Bao family, Bao Rongrong." ”
"Oh?" Shen Chong perked up and asked, "What did she say?" ”
"She didn't say anything, but she asked a lot of questions." Li Kaiyuan thought about it sideways and said, "She has been asking me about Beijing's views on Hong Kong's future. ”
"And how did you answer?"
"To tell you the truth, I don't know about national events." Li Kaiyuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Before leaving, she asked me, do you want to buy Wharf yourself, or are you helping someone else buy Wharf." ”
Where does this begin?
Shen Chong's mind was racing, and he immediately understood Bao Yugang's thoughts, he touched his chin, and said to himself: "Interesting." ”
"It's just that no matter how interesting it is, don't think about it, rest quickly, and think about it tomorrow."
"Sleep right away, you go first."
After Li Kaiyuan left, Shen Chong sat at the head of the bed, sleepless, frowning and pondering.
The battle for Wharf is a classic battle in Hong Kong's business history, the stock price soared from more than 30 yuan at the beginning of the year, to the purchase price of more than 100 yuan in June, when Pao Yugang and Jardine Matheson Matheson Bayonet were popular, Shen Chong initially arranged for Yuan Tianfan to buy Wharf shares, the purpose was very simple, that is, to fish in troubled waters, take the opportunity to make one
But now it seems that what he thought was too simple at the beginning, the money is still earned, but whether to make money from Jardine Matheson or Bao Yugang's money, he needs to make a choice, because he is no longer a hairy young man now, but a real tycoon, and his every move will be interpreted, especially unconsciously, he has put on the hat of a henchman of the inner subway pole, Shen Bi asked him about the movements of the mainland, and Bao Yugang was worried that he bought Wharf for the mainland, which is all proof.
If you are in business, only about profits, you want to do a deal with Jardine Matheson, because it has a lot of high-quality real estate, if you can get it, you can play a lot of tricks, and the stock can be premium, and it is much more cost-effective to exchange it for real estate than to buy it with cash -- he can use its "Hong Kong Economic Journal" to raise the stock price by putting smoke bombs, for example, putting news that he is interested in competing for a controlling stake in the Wharf, with his financial resources and hot reputation, as soon as this news comes out, the stock price will inevitably soar. When you negotiate with Jardine Matheson, you can nibble on more things.
But such an operation will inevitably affect the relationship between him and Bao Yugang.
Bao Yugang is a shipping tycoon, the world's ship king, Shen Chong's toy, he needs his ship to be shipped to all over the world, of course, this is nothing, there is no his ship, and Dong Haoyun's ship, but Bao Yugang's relationship with the mainland is extraordinary, he is the overseas Chinese who Deng Gong has met the most, a total of 15 times, you must know that Li Ka-shing has only been received once, he donated the Zhaolong Hotel and Ningbo University, the autobiographical book "Bao Yugang Album", all of which are inscribed by Deng Gong himself, and his cousin is the current director of tourism, The veterans of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office and the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission have to consider the various personal relationships implied in this.
Even if you don't mention the favors, Wharf developed rapidly in the 90s, with total assets of hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars, and is one of the top conglomerates in Hong Kong.
After weighing the pros and cons, Shen Chong quickly made a decision, he picked up the bedside phone, dialed a number, and said: "Xiaoyu, in the future, Jardine Matheson will call again, and transfer them all to Vivian, and ask her to arrange for Yuan Tianfan to contact." ”
After making the call, Shen Chong jumped out of bed again, put on his slippers, walked down the corridor to the other side, pushed open the door, and said, "Yuan Yuan, you can help me pass a message tomorrow......"
"Stinky rascal, get out of here"
Shen Chong fled in the wilderness, and the little girl grew up......
