"In fact, since there is already a downstream pipeline for business, if you want to expand again, you will have to go upstream." Xu Guanwu was a little surprised when he saw Ah Zhi and Qingxia, and couldn't help but smile and explain to them, "We have a good business in the Xiu Shen Tang now, and the signboard is slowly starting. So the next step is to open a branch. Then it is to develop into upstream manufacturers. ”

"Well, it makes sense, but there are so many foreign makeup brands, how should we choose?" When Lin Qingxia heard this, she couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Yes, a well-known cosmetics company in the world is doing so much business, it will cost a lot of money to buy it." Zhao Yazhi also frowned and said, "If you buy a small company, you won't be famous, and I'm afraid that members won't buy it." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as the product has an effect, the size of the fame is not a problem." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "The entry of luxury goods into Hong Kong is only a recent thing, and ordinary people in Hong Kong do not know about foreign brands. However, we don't just do business for money, so we don't have to do things that lack morality. ”

"In fact, there are many little-known cosmetics companies in Europe and the United States, and their products have their own advantages, but they lack funds to promote them. I think if we can buy a few of these small companies and then use their skills to produce our products, and use Shushentang and our media to promote them, we will definitely have a lot of business. ”

"That's a pretty good idea, so I'll go back and find someone to investigate." Zhao Yazhi nodded and said, "But I also have to carefully test these cosmetics companies." Make sure it's right for our Hong Kong people's skin. Some European and American cosmetics are more suitable for the skin type of Europeans and Americans. The effect on us Hong Kong people is not very obvious. ”

"Yes. If you can be responsible for the members, although we are in business, making money is not the only purpose. Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Don't hurt yourself to be poked in the back in order to make money." ”

"Then you still set up a gambling ship on the other side of the high sea." After Zhao Yazhi heard this, she couldn't help but spit out at Xu Guanwu.

"So I'll leave that gambling boat to Zhulian to take care of, and I'll never show up." Xu Guanwu shook his head and said, "I just know that the business is not very clean. That's why I don't get my hands dirty. ”

"Ah Wu, how is your gambling ship now? How much money to make? When Lin Qingxia heard him say this, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"More money than making movies." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Now there are thousands of tourists on the gambling boat every day, winning or losing two or three million, and we now have a billion Hong Kong dollars a year." ”

"So much?" Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't that more powerful than the Macau Gambling King?" ”

"Macau gambling kings still need to pay taxes, but gambling ships on the high seas don't." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "However, the benefits enjoyed by the Macau gambling king are actually far more than money, and the reputation of the uncrowned king of Macau is not for nothing." Although your husband and I make more money than the Macau gambling king. But in terms of social status, it is far inferior to him. ”

"Husband, when will you get the uncrowned king of Hong Kong." Zhao Yazhi said with a smile.

"It's impossible for your husband and I to buy HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, and the Taipan of those two banks is the real uncrowned king." Xu Guanwu smiled. "But if I can buy Hong Kong's power plants, waterworks, bus companies, taxi companies, supermarket chains, etc., it will be no less powerful than the Hong Kong Governor."

"What do you do as the uncrowned king of Hong Kong, you must know that the road tree is a big move, and the gun shoots the first bird." Lin Qingxia waved her hand and said, "I think our Xu family has been too high-profile recently, and we have to intervene in almost any business, although we have made a lot of money because of this, but we have also provoked a lot of competitors, once they join forces to fight back, the attack we will be attacked is bound to be amazing, so we should not be in a hurry to expand the territory now, but first sort out the business we have at hand, so as not to be found by others to take us." ”

"What Qingxia said makes a lot of sense." Xu Guanwu nodded, "Actually, there are indeed a lot of businesses under our Xu family now, including film and television companies, TV stations, newspapers and magazines, convenience stores, food factories, etc., and indeed the business is many and miscellaneous. So next year, I plan to take good care of my business, divide the entertainment industry into a piece, the supermarket chain into a piece, and the business of the two of you in a piece, and then in addition to the entertainment industry, other businesses will start to go public and raise funds one after another. ”

"You want to take a chain of convenience stores public?" After Zhao Yazhi heard this, she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Impossible, doesn't it mean that a listed company should operate for at least five years, and the company scale exceeds 50 million Hong Kong dollars?" ”

"Now the scale of the convenience store has already exceeded 50 million, but it has not been in operation for five years now, so I plan to let the convenience store go public." Xu Guanwu smiled.

"Husband, it's so decent, why do you want to go public in a convenience store? Wasn't you worried that your business would be bought by someone else? Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but ask strangely when she heard this.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "The convenience store is just the most insignificant part of the Xu family's business, I originally wanted to use it to release videos, but who would have thought that after some tossing, it would become a behemoth." However, since it is a wrong product, there is naturally no need to spend too much effort on it, so getting it listed has become a means for me to throw off my burden. ”

"Isn't my sister taking care of the convenience store now, if the convenience store is listed, then won't she become the chairman of the listed company?" Lin Qingxia asked suspiciously.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "The performance of the convenience store in the past two years has been good, it can be seen that Judy has also worked hard, and it is okay for her to continue to serve as the chairman after the company is listed." Moreover, it is easy to obtain convenience stores as advantageous assets, with an annual profitability of more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and if it is listed, the stock price will definitely rise, which is beneficial to us to raise funds in the future. ”

"We already have too much money to spend, so why do we need to raise money from the stock market?" Lin Qingxia asked strangely.

Xu Guanwu smiled. "More money naturally has many benefits. You don't have to ask. ”

"You've always been like that. I made my own decisions about what I did, and let me and Ah Zhi stay in the dark. When Lin Qingxia heard him say this, she couldn't help but wrinkle her nose and said, "You just explain to us a little bit, why do you want to raise funds from the stock market?" ”

Xu Guanwu saw that Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia were looking at him with a curious baby, and he couldn't help but feel a big head, "Okay, in fact, I have predicted that in the next two or three years." The Hong Kong property market will fall sharply, so I want to take advantage of the fact that the stock market is in the red right now, raise a huge amount of money first, and then wait for the time to buy it. ”

"Really?" Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia looked at him in surprise together.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Now is the best time to buy a shell and go public, otherwise after this year, I don't know when I will wait." ”

……

On Christmas Eve, Xu Guanwu gathered all the people in the Xu family, and then told everyone his thoughts.

No one has expressed any objection to the listing of the convenience store. After all, after listing, it is conducive to the company's fundraising, and it is also conducive to the company's better and faster development, and more importantly. Once listed, everyone becomes a shareholder of a listed company. At that time, the dividends alone will be doubled. Xu Judi is also very happy that she has become the first chairman of the Xu family's listed company, and you must know that the chairman of the listed company is in power.

Subsequently, the convenience store chain acquired Baddeli Soda Company and successfully bought a shell listing, which shook the Hong Kong stock market on the same day. Baddeley's soda company was launched a decade ago, when it was one of Hong Kong's favorite beverages, second only to Coca-Cola and Pepsi in sales, but it was later abandoned by Hong Kongers who were increasingly conscious of healthy eating because of its high sugar content.

The stock of Baddeley Soda Company has also fallen again and again, and now it is often hovering at the bottom. Moreover, the actual asset of this company is that set of factories, and it is not worth much now, so no one generally wants to fight it.

The reason why Xu Guanwu chose Baddeley Soda Company, in addition to taking a fancy to its factory in Jordan, is actually mainly because its shares are cheap enough, and it only cost 10 million to buy Baddeley Soda Company, and there is no need to bother at all, those shareholders are eager to sell their shares.

Of course, there are also shareholders who refuse to sell, thinking that someone has finally bought this company after so many years, so they want to make a fortune with it, and at the worst they also want to speculate the price of the stock in their hands, and then make a big profit from the acquirer.

However, Xu Guanwu did not demand the shares in their hands anymore, and stopped the acquisition after the acquisition reached seventy percent, and then immediately released the news, "It is easy to get the convenience store chain to acquire seventy percent of the shares of Baddeley Soda Company, and successfully bought a shell listing." ”

As soon as the news came out, it immediately shook the Hong Kong stock market, you must know that Xu Guanwu is a bit of a golden hand, and the profitability of his companies is very high, which makes people blush. The Hong Kong securities company urged Xu Guanwu to list his company several times, but Xu Guanwu just ignored it, and he didn't expect that he would quietly acquire Baddeley Soda Company, and then list his convenience store, which was really unexpected by everyone.

After the news was released, the stock price of Baddeley Soda Company, which had been hovering at a low level all the year round, immediately began to soar, from a few cents at the bottom to more than two yuan, an increase of more than ten times, which surprised many shareholders. And those shareholders of Baddeley Soda Company who sold their shares before regretted not being at the beginning, knowing why they had to sell them all, and how good it would be to keep some.

Baddeley Soda shares were then renamed Hui's Supermarket, and then announced that they would issue new shares. Because the convenience store chain has now become the largest chain of convenience stores in Hong Kong, with more than 100 convenience stores, an annual net profit of more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and a turnover of more than 2 billion, so once such an excellent financial report is published, it will immediately attract many shareholders.

It is important to know that the interest rate of the bank is only 5%, and the annual profit of ordinary business can already be called profitable, so it is easy to get the annual profit rate of convenience stores to exceed 15%, and such a sharp profit rate is naturally sought after by shareholders. Therefore, the issuance of new shares is also wildly sought after.

After the issuance of new shares, Xu's account for only 30% of the shares of the convenience store, but the other 20% was purchased by Xu Guanwu, which not only took the opportunity to speculate on the stock price of the convenience store, but also firmly controlled the convenience store in his hands. After the issuance of new shares, the stock price of Yide convenience store has dropped slightly, but it is still stable at a high level of five yuan, which is dozens of times higher than the previous only a few cents. The convenience store, which originally had a market value of about 300 million Hong Kong dollars, has now become a large company in Hong Kong with a market value of more than 2 billion, especially the amount of cash is amazing.

However, after getting a huge amount of cash, the convenience store did not open new stores or build factories in the New Territories, but invested all its money in the stock market, specializing in buying blue chips with stable returns. (To be continued......)
