Chapter 146: The Restless Taiwan Sister
"Thailand?" Johnson-Donald asked rhetorically, with a calm face.
Huo Dongjun nodded lightly: "I do have this idea. ”
"I don't think it's a good idea, sir, Thailand may be a paradise for tourists, but for investing in Southeast Asia, I'd rather choose Indonesia, at least the dictatorship is more stable than Thailand's fake democracy, and this official may have just helped us get permission before being vetoed by the new government after the coup. Johnson Donald said to Huo Dongjun.
He is a typical Western professional manager, and he is used to looking at problems from the most fundamental interests of the company, because the greater the company's interests and the greater his reputation, the higher his status, maybe the next job will be the CEO of a large company or a regional company manager, Huo Dongjun chose Thailand, so that Johnson Donald feels that the other party only sees the immediate advantages, but in the long run, Thailand is not a good place to start a business, the most obvious hint is, Thailand's large and small successful and failed coups occur on average once every six months.
"I really want to say a word to refute you......" Huo Dongjun looked at the other party's Yan Sù expression and laughed.
"I guess that word is called Pangu, right? But not everyone can be like that Mr. Chen, in the whole of Southeast Asia and even Asia, there is only one Chen, one Pangu, and the era in which he lives is just the era of Thailand's stable dìng, the dictator is in power, as long as he messes with that dictator, the whole of Thailand is his, if he is allowed to start a business in Thailand now, he will die an ugly death, I'm sorry, I don't mean I don't respect him. Johnson Donald explained to Huo Dongjun.
Professional managers who make money in Southeast Asia are naturally aware of Chen Bichen's status in the eyes of the Chinese, and also know the history of the development of the legend of Pangu Bank, and many economists and managers in the West have analyzed Chen Bichen's history, including Johnson Donald, that is, Chen Bichen just did three right things at the right time.
The first thing, relying on the government background, Bangkoka Bank was granted a concession for foreign exchange and gold trading.
The second thing is that when foreign banks entered Thailand and were about to monopolize, Bangkok Bank fought back very forcefully, charging only 10% of the deposit for the Chinese, a move that took away almost all the business of the Chinese businessmen of foreign banks.
The third thing is that in the era of being forced to run away, he did not shrink into a corner, but traveled throughout Asia, built a huge network of Chinese businessmen for Bangkok Bank and himself, and cultivated a number of Chinese godfathers in other countries.
These three things have given Chen Bichen an unparalleled position among Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia, and Chinese businessmen are short of money? Pangu Bank has, 10 million assets, can get 100 million yuan of support, every manager should admire Chen Bichen's courage, Johnson Donald also admired, however, that is already in the past, not to mention, even if he is called the "Chinese Thai King", Chen Bichen also has the experience of running away because of political problems.
"Sir, look at the Hong Kong Commercial Bank, it was also founded by Chen, and even sat in Hong Kong in person back then, and then his eldest son, but the status of this bank in Hong Kong does not need to be comparable to HSBC and Standard Chartered, it can't even rank among the top 15 banks in this city, this is the truth. ”
Huo Dongjun smiled at Johnson-Donald: "Thank you for your construction, Johnson, I will consider it." ”
"But the look in your eyes tells me that you won't change your mind. Johnson-Donald sighed.
Huo Dongjun leaned back in his chair and exhaled and said, "I want to see a plan that can attract Milne, meet the old man, and the rest, we can talk slowly later." ”
After he heard the name of Aladell Milne, the reason why he couldn't wait to meet him was because if he appeared, let satellite TV appear in Hong Kong, and it would become a slight possibility to open up the government's joints.
Glancing at the recent financial statements sent by Johnson Donald, Huo Dongjun was a little dizzy, he was not sensitive enough to numbers, and he couldn't even understand these too professional numbers, but he knew one thing, that is, his current business was developing steadily, and as for this kind of professional numerical calculation, an independent accounting firm would help him solve it.
Huo Dongjun looked at the Wen Jiàn of Dongsheng Entertainment at hand, and frowned with some pity, his most profitable business is these two boats, but unfortunately, it can only be two, and it is alternate to go to sea, he does not dare to expand the scale, because if he angers He Hongsheng in Macau, Dongsheng Entertainment's small sampan will not even have a chance to fight back, and will be sunk directly.
Even Fok Jianwen never mentioned the expansion of the scale, and would rather keep throwing more than a dozen leased passenger ships in the port to mold, consuming funds, and not making plans to increase the number of ships going to sea, they can rent these idle passenger ships in Hong Kong, but they can't rent Macau, if the scale is expanded, He Hongsheng thinks that Dongsheng Entertainment is ready to grab the business of Macau Entertainment, and Macau Shun Tak Shipping has four cruise ships, which can go to sea to gamble at any time.
Once SJM has a ship to go to sea, Dongsheng Entertainment will have nothing to play, whether it is a price war or a protracted war, Dongsheng Entertainment is not enough to be SJM's opponent at this time.
Even Huo Jianwen and Huo Dongjun have analyzed before that SJM has not arranged for a ship to go out on the high seas to gamble legally, the main reason is He Hongsheng's status at this time, and doing this kind of gambling boat business is really not in line with his identity, after all, even if it is not restricted by law, it is not really legal, for a gambling king with countless titles, the income of more than 10 million a day is far less attractive than those badges.
A manor owner would not carry an axe to fight for a few small saplings from someone outside.
"Chen Dong, I'm coming back from a trip, aren't you going to help me catch the wind?" Huo Dongjun finished the report and called Chen Dong.
Chen Dong's tone on the phone was a little hurried: "Wait until I have time to call you?"
"Are you boxing?" Huo Dongjun asked when he heard the other party's breathing a little short.
"There is a chance to beat his mother, I will definitely beat the egg roll and force me to investigate the case, you won't forget, my auxiliary police are here, three shifts a week, don't talk about it, k people."
After Chen Dong finished speaking, he hurriedly hung up the phone.
Huo Dongjun hung up the receiver depressedly, and dialed Liu Zhenwei's phone again: "Zhen viagra, I came back from a trip to Thailand and had dinner together at night?"
"I'm sorry, Jun Shao, I made an appointment to talk about movies, tomorrow, I'll help you catch the wind. Liu Zhenwei also said to Huo Dongjun on the phone that he had an appointment tonight.
"Hey, everyone is busy, I'm the only idler?"
"That's right, you just came back, Jun Shao, R originally asked me to say that there is something to talk about, you have time now, why don't you have a meal with her and ask her about the situation. Liu Zhenwei said in a relaxed tone as if remembering a trivial matter.
Huo Dongjun's expression distorted, and the Taiwanese sister is making trouble again?
