Ross Kadoorie glanced at the back of Huo Yingdong walking away, didn't say anything, sat for a while and got up to leave, there are a lot of beautiful women tonight, and he is still single, so he will naturally not let go of this opportunity. No, he's already targeting a long-haired beauty.

Gu Chen picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly with Zeng Yuqian, with a smile on his face, and said as if unintentionally: "Hehe, Ross has a Jewish-specific persistence, but there is no lack of humor, just now I saw that you guys were chatting quite happily on the dance floor, what did you talk about?" ”

After more time in contact, he became much closer to Ross Kadoorie, and also got to know Ross Kadoorie a little bit about his personality and character, how to say, a very typical Jew, with a shrewd business acumen, a keen eye, bold courage and a comfortable interpersonal skill. With such descendants, the glory of the Kadoorie family is destined to continue.

As if worried that Gu Chen would misunderstand, Zeng Daqian hurriedly said: "I didn't talk about anything, Mr. Kadoorie praised me for being beautiful tonight, and ......" looked at Gu Chen carefully, Zeng Daqian continued with a little hesitation: "Also, Mr. Kadoorie asked me when I started to talk to Ah ...... Ah Chen, you ...... I told Mr. Kadoorie that you and I were just ordinary friends, but he didn't believe me. ”

Is this really what Zeng Daqian said? Gu Chen doesn't know what to do, but he knows that there are not a few female stars in the entertainment industry who dream of joining a wealthy family, and Ross Kadoorie, who is still single, can be described as an out-and-out super diamond king.

However, he didn't show the thoughts in his heart, smiled slightly, gently shook the wine glass in his hand, and said meaningfully: "Don't worry about him, you just need to understand it yourself." ”

……

Like many of the older generation of wealthy people in Hong Kong, Fok Yingdong chose the location of the date in a tea restaurant, and the two also talked too much off-topic, but they just got to the point after a few polite words, only to see Fok Yingdong pick up a file bag on the table and put it in front of Gu Chen, and said: "This is the detailed information of the Singapore Petroleum Company." Seeing Gu Chen open the file bag, Huo Yingdong continued: "Singapore Petroleum Company was established in 1969, at the beginning of its establishment, the Singapore government held 51% of the shares, and now it has dropped to 22%, the company's total assets are about 370 million US dollars, but the debt is as high as 140 million US dollars, the capital chain has been broken, and it may go bankrupt at any time."

"The reason why the debt is so high is entirely because of the strategic mistake of the company's top management, blind expansion, without sufficient research, invested a lot of money to expand the refinery, and now the refinery expansion project has been stopped, the company's operation is also in a semi-paralyzed state, I heard that even the wages of the factory workers cannot be paid. If no new competitors emerge, the Keppel Group should soon take ownership of Petro. ”

Gu Chen took the information and looked through it casually for a while, then put it back in the file bag, and then said: "Huo Lao, I understand what you mean, if there are enough benefits, I think George will be willing to help with this, but I have a reluctant request Huo Lao may be able to listen." ”

"Oh? Please speak. Huo Yingdong was very interested in Gu Chen's so-called reluctant invitation, but when Gu Chen said it, his face was full of surprise, "I am also very optimistic about the future prospects of the oil market, I don't know if Huo Laojie doesn't mind that I also participate in this acquisition." ”

Fok Yingdong's desire to buy PetroSingapore is nothing more than seeing the future prospects of the oil market. Gu Chen has the memories of later generations, and has strong confidence in the prospects of petroleum, especially petroleum products, such as automobile fuel, aviation fuel and lubricants needed by industry. Moreover, he also has a slight understanding of the trend of international crude oil prices in the next 20 years or so, and if it is operated properly, it can be a profitable business. So now that an opportunity to step into the oil industry is presented to him, he has no reason to give up.

Huo Yingdong groaned and asked, "How are you going to participate?" ”

Gu Chen had already made a draft and said: "It's very simple, George and I set up a joint venture oil company, and then the two companies each invested half of the shares to acquire 78% of the shares of PetroSingapore. Of course, it would be better if the 22% stake held by the Singapore government could be bought together. ”

Huo Yingdong quickly weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and soon made a decision: "Okay, this is the case." It's not that he doesn't want to eat alone, but he knows very well that if he doesn't agree, Gu Chen will also be unable to help him. In addition, the value of Singapore Petroleum is about US$370 million, and after deducting US$140 million in debt, there is also US$230 million, equivalent to about HK$1.8 billion.

If the acquisition of 78% of its shares is calculated at a premium of 15%, it will probably cost more than 1.6 billion Hong Kong dollars, and he is a little nervous to ask him to come up with such a large amount of money in a short period of time, and now Gu Chen can also relieve his financial pressure by joining in. It's just that he was skeptical that Gu Chen would be able to come up with hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in a few days.

Hearing this, a smile immediately appeared on Gu Chen's face, raised the teacup on the table, and said, "In this way, I wish our cooperation success with tea instead of wine." ”

Huo Yingdong raised the teacup and said with a smile: "It will definitely succeed." Drinking the cup of tea, Fok Yingdong said: "With Mr. Bush joining, the Singapore government will inevitably pass the approval, but the time must be stepped up, according to the information I have received, the Keppel Group will sign an acquisition agreement with the Singapore Petroleum Company as soon as next week." ”

"Don't worry about this, I already talked to George on the phone last night, and he agreed in principle with our plan, and I will fly to the United States tomorrow to talk to George in person about specific matters." Even the ticket to the United States has been booked, which shows that Gu Chen came here completely prepared today.

At this time, Huo Yingdong's appreciation for Gu Chen in his heart couldn't help but go to a higher level, he was cautious and keen, cautious and decisive, many people who have been galloping in the business sea for decades are far behind, he doesn't know what to use to describe such a young talent, he can only say that the future is limitless.
