Chen Zhiwen arranged for a few people to follow behind Tykens, checking all kinds of data of the Hong Kong garment industry, and a week later, he made an appointment with Chen Zhiwen again for lunch and left Hong Kong.

"You're going to get into the apparel industry?" After listening to his son's description, Chen Tianfu asked curiously.

"I don't prepare, but I will support, including the previous cooperation with Zeng Ziqian, the scale of Berkshire Hathaway does not need any help from me, their financial resources are much stronger than mine, and I just want Hong Kong to have a high-level textile company, maybe it will be of great help to my future." Chen Zhiwen explained while eating a McDonald's burger.

In 1974, the first McDonald's in Hong Kong opened, although in Chen Zhiwen's opinion, this kind of European and American fast food restaurants are very low, but after all, it is a large American company to open in Hong Kong, or it has attracted many people, Chen Tianfu is one of them, and he insisted on pulling his son to come over to try it. Considering that the taste is not bad once in a while, Chen Zhiwen also followed.

"Just because it's big in the U.S. doesn't mean it's good to mix well in Hong Kong, is Mobil oil big enough? In Hong Kong, it does not have to cooperate with CLP, and it only has a small stake. Chen Tianfu said with a smile after nibbling on a chicken leg.

"It's okay to think so." Chen Zhiwen smiled helplessly, in a small place like Hong Kong, European and American giants may not be able to eat, but the power plant this kind of thing, may also be Mobil does not look down, although it only accounts for 30% of the shares in the power generation project with China Power, but the joint venture company needs to purchase fuel oil power generation from Mobil, on the whole, Mobil earns, which may also be the way Mobil makes money.

"So I think it's possible for them to cooperate with local giants in Hong Kong, but I'm worried that they won't look for you, and you are now in Hong Kong, but you don't have much influence." Chen Tianfu went on to say that when international giants come to Hong Kong to find partners, they are basically looking for local giants, so that they can join forces.

Chen Zhiwen said with a smile: "Hong Kong's local giants, who can look down on the textile industry?" ”

This is absolutely true, although there are many garment companies in Hong Kong, and the employees are as high as 200,000, but basically they are small companies, small workshops, the largest textile company Nan Fung Textile Factory, its boss began to enter the real estate industry as early as a few years ago, just encountered the real estate skyrocket, and made a lot more money than the textile industry.

"That's right, you're still tossing the industry." Chen Tianfu nodded and said.

"It's no wonder, real estate is too profitable, but the Hong Kong market is so big, at most it is the scale of land, if you want to develop bigger, you have to go out, but the real estate industry has a strong regionality, and if you can't get up in other places anyway, the industry is different, and you can easily go global." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

In later generations, Hong Kong's four major families, except for the Li Ka Shing family, most of the assets are in Hong Kong, it can be said that Hong Kong is prosperous, a few come to the mainland to invest in real estate, but the scale is far less than the mainland from the 90s slowly developed local players, even with Hong Kong similar culture, real estate copy Hong Kong operations in the mainland, can not let Hong Kong real estate developers find a second paradise, let alone other countries, only Li Ka Shing, will be the real estate industry to earn money in the port, energy, telecommunications and other fields, It's a successful transformation.

"At most, it's just land?" Chen Tianfu was stunned for a moment and said, "How high is your kid's vision?" ”

"It's not that high, in a few years, I bought the Recreation Building and gave you a gift for your 50th birthday." Chen Zhiwen laughed.

"It would be nice to buy that Golden Gate." Chen Tianfu rolled his eyes and said.

"That's even more fine." Chen Zhiwen said calmly, this Golden Gate Building was played by Chen Songqing, the number one giant in Hong Kong, in later generations, and it was not difficult for him to acquire it, but it was just a matter of whether it was cost-effective.

"Let's get down to business, in two days, HSBC is going to hold a charity gala to raise funds for Hong Kong education funds to build schools, how much will we give?" Chen Tianfu asked.

"Hundreds of thousands, no more, no less, Shen Bi's main purpose is not to build a school for any educational funds, but to announce that his time is coming." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.

As early as 1971, Shen Bi served as the general manager of HSBC and became one of the candidates for the future Taipan, after several years of hard work, the current Taipan Sanders and the board of directors finally decided to make Shen Bi the next generation of successors, this kind of major event naturally attracted the attention of the Hong Kong business community, so in the name of the charity gala, for Shen Bi to celebrate.

"During this time, we have been cooperating with RB and banks in Southeast Asia, will Shen Bi have any opinions?" Chen Tianfu asked a little worriedly, although it is his freedom for the company to ask any bank to borrow, whether it is Hengyi or his son's Galaxy in the past two years, in the early stage of development, it has relied on HSBC to become a scale, but when RB Bank dared to provide higher leverage, his side immediately ran away, which seems a little unkind.

"It's okay, our risk point requirements are too high, and Shen Bi probably won't agree casually." Chen Zhiwen said: "Besides, even if you cooperate with HSBC, you should be tough or tough, you are too cowardly, people look down on you, it is to show that kind of self-confidence, if you don't cooperate with me, you will lose confidence." ”

"If you dare to talk to HSBC like this, I guess you are the first." Chen Tianfu said with a smile.

"Of course, you can't say that, just express the meaning." Chen Zhiwen said indifferently that his demand for HSBC is actually in the past few years, and when the electronic era opens, there can be no problem with his funds, if it were not for the many opportunities in Hong Kong gathered in the 70s, he would not need to have too much cooperation with HSBC. Besides, he knows that in the future, some investments that outsiders, including HSBC, feel are very risky, in fact, they will make a profit without losing money, HSBC is unwilling to take risks, and if other banks are willing to take risks, he will naturally change them without hesitation.

"However, RB and banks in Southeast Asia can still provide too little capital, and if you want to really develop in Hong Kong, you still have to rely on HSBC." Chen Tianfu said that during this time, their father and son took a lot of loans from foreign banks, but after all, these are only branches in Hong Kong, with a limited scale, and their father and son are unwilling to take foreign currency loans, so the subsequent cooperation has almost come to an end.

"I don't expect these foreign banks to provide much money, 200 million is good." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, "So, this party, I have to deal with Shen Bi well." ”
