Chapter 342, The Temptation of Dollars
The ability of the designers of Blohm+Voss is not bragged, and the yacht design drawings were sent in just five days! Lei Weidong is very satisfied, and he deserves to be the world's top superyacht company.
And Blohm+Voss also brings good news, because the customer returned the goods in default, and a cruiser in a German shipyard was about to be dismantled just after the hull was built!
Blohm+Voss suggested that Lei Weidong buy the cruiser's hull and supporting engines!
First, the price is relatively cheap, because there is no next home, and now the hull of the cruiser can be bought as long as the cost price of three achievements.
Second, because the hull of the warship is used for military purposes, it is built very strongly, far more than ordinary civilian ships, which can meet Lei Weidong's needs for safety.
Third, it can save time, the superyacht production cycle took at least two years, but now it only takes one year for Lei Weidong to drive his yacht around the world.
For Blohm+Voss's proposal, Lei Weidong only thought about it for three minutes and agreed, and now Lei Weidong is not short of money!
The conversion of the cruiser into a yacht can just show the majesty of Lei Weidong! Bought!
----------
The news that Lei Weidong has earned more than $5 billion in the United States may not be known to ordinary people, but Hong Kong's financial giants such as HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank have definitely gotten the news.
When they got the news, the two major banks were shocked at first, and then immediately approached them to accept the dollar.
Compared with the assets of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, billions of dollars are not a lot, but the funds in their hands are not their own customer deposits, and these deposits are mainly in Hong Kong dollars.
In fact, HSBC has no more than 50 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash, and Standard Chartered has even less cash in its hands.
Otherwise, in 1986, the British Lloyds Bank (Lloyds Bank) intended to buy Standard Chartered Bank, and Standard Chartered Bank had no way to fight back and had to invite the white knight Bao tycoon and Qiu Teck Puat to join forces to rescue.
Lei Weidong will definitely return to Hong Kong with so much US dollars in his hand, and if anyone can have such a large sum of US dollars in his hand, whether it is to make reserves or to make money by lending, it is a sure-fire business.
Shen Daban of HSBC, because he had dealt with Lei Weidong, the relationship between the two sides was okay, but Lei Weidong had just returned to Hong Kong, so he blocked the door.
At night, Deep Water Bend, Lei Weidong's villa.
Under normal circumstances, Lei Weidong would not arrange his work to the place where he lives, but today is a little special, Shen Daban actually blocked himself at the airport and caught him a little off guard!
It's getting late! The beauties in the family are waiting for themselves to come home, so Lei Weidong temporarily arranged the meeting place here.
"Lei Shao!"
Shen Bi didn't see it at all, and held Lei Weidong's hand with both hands in the study and said: "Over there, about Lei Shao's majestic deeds have already been spread all over the world!" Even Steve Jobs, who is in the limelight, can't compare to your achievements! ”
Lei Weidong said modestly: "Shen Dong, you are too polite, I just made a little money, compared to Jobs, I am the leader of the American technology industry, and the idol of countless Americans." ”
"Hehe, in these years, rich is an uncle! No matter how much technology you have, you have to rely on the support of capital! Shen Bi sat on the sofa and said with a smile:
"We in Hong Kong, like the United States, look at money! Compared with you, Huo Tycoon and Bao Tycoon are already outdated! The person you most admire in the minds of young people in Hong Kong is you. Lei Shao! ”
"It's just a name, and I haven't experienced any setbacks. How can this level of success compare to Huo Tycoon and Bao Tycoon, who have been through ups and downs for decades, but they are still standing firm? Lei Weidong shook his hand.
"What's more, the wealthy families are inextricably linked, and I'm still too tender compared to them?"
"Well, I think we're polite, and we can't talk about anything for a night."
Looking at Shen Bi, I still want to continue! Lei Weidong smiled faintly, "Shen Dong, please be honest, what do you want from me?" What can I expect from you? ”
Because he had dealt with him before, Shen Bi knew that Lei Weidong could become famous at a young age and have tens of billions of assets, which was definitely not something that could be done by relying on good luck.
Seeing him so straightforward, Shen Bi was also prepared, and said without hesitation:
"Lei Shao, I need you to exchange all the dollars you get this time, and in the future, HSBC to take care of it, we will not only give you the best and timely price, but also give you more and more reliable financial support! For example, if you build 23 buildings and expand Lei's supermarket, you are using your own money, which is a huge waste! ”
You should use our HSBC money in the future! We will help you make a one-time full payment, and we will also help you acquire more land, build more factories, invest in more companies, you will no longer have any financial pressure, interest or anything, that's all good to say, all loans you can enjoy the lowest loan interest! ”
Lei Weidong smiled dumbly, "Shen Dong, it's obvious that you are here to take advantage, how can it become that I have received support?" ”
Lei Weidong deposited billions of dollars in HSBC, and then borrowed billions of dollars from HSBC, or even more, and he didn't see you for tens of billions of dollars, which not only increased their deposit performance, but also increased their loan performance!
As for the lowest loan interest rate mentioned by HSBC, I don't care at all, and I don't think which bank a big customer like myself is not a VIP.
"Of course it won't be that simple." Shen Bi said confidently: "As long as you agree to my request, all the land you buy and the companies you invest in can be mortgaged at 100% of the purchase price, and I guarantee that the money will be in your hands within three working days." ”
"Oh?"
Lei Weidong took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "This is a bit interesting." ”
The most criticized bank is the so-called nine in and thirteen out.
A mortgage cannot be 100% based on the value of the collateral!
Usually a mortgage of 1 million items can get a loan of up to 500,000, even if you are lucky.
And the conditions given by Shen Bi! said that Lei Weidong can borrow 100% of the purchase price in the future, which means that Lei Weidong can have a lot more liquidity.
How ordinary businessmen make their business bigger, they don't all rely on bank loans, they dare to do hundreds of millions of businesses with only a few million assets.
And listening to Shen Bi's consciousness, not only the fixed assets such as land and real estate can be 100% loaned, but also the company shares in Lei Weidong's hands can be 100% mortgaged, which is really good. It's bigger!
Seeing Lei Weidong's heartbeat, Shen Bi struck while the iron was hot and said, "Lei Shao, how about it, let's cooperate!" Of course, I think that one-step cooperation is definitely unrealistic. Otherwise, we will first hand over the billions of dollars this time to us to exchange savings, and then we will carry out cooperation on the land, so that you can see the sincerity first! ”
"Shen Dong, you are not afraid that I will collapse in the end and trap your HSBC bank!" Lei Weidong asked.
"Of course not!" Shen Bi said with a smile: "I have always been very accurate in looking at people, I am very optimistic about your future Lei Weidong, this small pond in Hong Kong will definitely not trap you, Lei Shao, your future is the whole world!" ”
"Shen Dong is too polite!" Lei Weidong said with a smile: "My money can be deposited in HSBC, or I can borrow from HSBC, but I can't exchange savings and just save it!" ”
"Why! Lei Shao, it is not convenient to use US dollars in Hong Kong! Shen Dong said.
"But the dollar is universal in the world! Hong Kong dollars are not OK! Lei Weidong shrugged: "I'm ready to borrow 6 billion Hong Kong dollars, I don't know if Shen Dong will accept the order!" ”
"Of course I take orders, but I don't know when Lei Shao will use this money! After all, the list is too big and I need to prepare! ”
"Let's celebrate the New Year!" Lei Weidong said with a smile: "It's almost the New Year now, and I can't find anyone who can't find a job!" On the fifth day of the new year, you can put this money into my account! ”
"Yes!" Shen Bi said: "Lei Shao, do you want to invest in land!" ”
"In addition to land and the stock market, I am very optimistic about Shen Bi's Hong Kong market in the past two years!"
"I am also optimistic about the market in the past two years, especially the news of the stock market in the mainland has come over, and the stock market will definitely rise sharply this year! But Lei Shao wants to operate it, if you can, you can leave it to us HSBC to do! Shen Bi knew that Lei Weidong didn't have this talent at hand, and wanted to take this list as well.
For an investment project of 6 billion Hong Kong dollars, HSBC has made a lot of money just by handling fees.
"No! I'm ready to set up a dedicated investment company! Lei Weidong looked at Shen Bi and said, "I don't have any special talents on hand, Shen will introduce them to me!" ”
"Yes! We have a lot of talents in HSBC, and I asked them to come to Lei Shao in the fifth year of junior high school! Shen Bi smiled.
"That's right! Dong Shen, I heard that your bank has shares in TVB, and I am now interested in TVB, sell the shares to me! Seeing Shen Bi get up and say goodbye, Lei Weidong hurriedly asked.
"Lei Shao, why are you interested in playing TV station, it's just a small business, making millions of Hong Kong dollars a year, and the interest rate you have in the bank is not as high." Shen Bi asked with a smile.
In the eyes of people like Shen Bi, TVB is just a small business, and HSBC does not dare to be interested in it at all, otherwise parallel time and space would not have allowed Shao Daheng to take control of TVB after the Li family withdrew.
"It's just an interest, how wireless shares HSBC doesn't sell!" Lei Weidong asked.
"How is it possible, as long as you make money, HSBC will not refuse business matters! We have a total of 2.36 million shares in our hands, and since Lei Shao wants us, we will use today's wireless stock price as a node to make a 10% increase! Shen Bi said with a smile.
"Deal! The money is out of my deposit! But I hope that Shen Dong can keep this news secret for me, I don't want too many people to know now! Lei Weidong said.
"No problem! Lei Shao Hutchison Whampoa, and the shares in the hands of Times Life International should be acquired together! Seeing that Lei Weidong had no intention of taking out a loan, Shen Bi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Still don't need to, I don't want to offend Mr. Li now, so as long as Mr. Li dies, you can help me buy the shares of those two as soon as possible!" Lei Weidong thought about it and decided not to offend the Li family, the former richest man in Hong Kong.
