In late October, Hong Kong has not had the previous heat, although there have not been several major investment banks to set up cooperation related matters, but everything is as he expected, so that Chen Zhiwen is in a much better mood, as long as this time is successful, then he will have more funds to realize his dream.

After all, no matter how high the profits were before, they were all up to the level of 100 million US dollars, in Hong Kong, these funds are a lot, but if it involves the global layout, the funds are too little, the upcoming 80s, the global market has countless opportunities, these require a large amount of funds to have a chance to seize, otherwise, at most, you can only go in and drink a mouthful of soup.

On Hutchison's side, Whampoa Garden, the largest walled village project in Hong Kong's history, is already on sale, with countless people rushing to send money in order to get enough real estate, and some people even buy houses on a building-by-house basis.

Midea is still the old way of development, at present it is mainly arcade machines, with "Pac-Man" began to prepare for the listing, the factory in Hong Kong has also entered a busy period, but there are also some people who have left, especially some capable technical or management talents, the personnel department tracked down to find that these people went to the real estate industry, although they are doing technology, but they can mix in the industry to a certain position, are very smart, in Hong Kong's current environment, they naturally choose a better way.

Red Bull actually has a similar situation, but fortunately, the impact is not very large, after all, only a few people have the courage to change careers, and when a large number of people do it, it is not far from a bubble.

Chen Zhiwen didn't make any moves after knowing about this, it's normal for people to die for money and birds for food, he can't stand in the way of others to make a lot of money, right? Anyway, the reform is about to begin, even if many industries cannot be transferred in the initial stage, as long as the transfer part is enough, it is enough to share the labor pressure on Hong Kong's side.

At present, the Midea Industrial City, the production capacity in all aspects is very large, especially the fan, the best cost performance, many supermarkets around the world have begun to place orders, a small industrial park in Hong Kong, has begun to be a little unbearable, this is the low-end industry that urgently needs to be transferred to the mainland, Hong Kong, it is necessary to prepare for the mass production of home game consoles and handhelds that are about to be developed.

Of course, the whole industry chain of fans, especially the motor technology and fan low-noise technology that Midea has spent a lot of money on research and development over the years, the technical content is not too low.

Taking advantage of the trend is also a default attitude of Chen Zhiwen towards Hong Kong's real estate industry and industry.

Standard Chartered Bank:

Ban Bier. Winter was leisurely drinking afternoon tea, as an English gentleman, no matter how busy he was, he needed to spare half an hour to drink a cup of tea in the afternoon.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside. Winter said, "Please come in." ”

A young purple-haired beauty walked in, none other than his assistant.

"Mr. Winter, the office of the secretary of the board of directors of Midea Group just called, Mr. Chen Zhiwen asked you to have tea at the Grand Hotel Group at 3 pm tomorrow, but because you have a meeting with Australia at 3 pm tomorrow, I don't know how you arrange it, and Midea said that it can be adjusted according to your time." The purple-haired assistant said.

"Chen Zhiwen? What did he ask me to do? Bill Winter was stunned, Standard Chartered and Chen Zhiwen's company, can not be said to have no cooperation, after all, how to say that Standard Chartered is also the third largest bank in Hong Kong, with the right to print Hong Kong dollar money, Chen Zhiwen's company, now has been faintly called Hong Kong's largest consortium, there is naturally cooperation between the two, but even if the scale is not small, it is just ordinary cooperation, and the senior management of the two sides has not reached a strategic cooperation.

The purple-haired assistant analyzed: "Before, Chen Zhiwen took away Wharf from Jardine Matheson, and HSBC was on the side of Jardine Matheson, it is said that that time, Chen Zhiwen did not give HSBC face, I think, will it be because the contradiction between them has not been eliminated, so Chen Zhiwen wants to cooperate with us, after all, the largest banks in Hong Kong are HSBC, Hang Seng and our Standard Chartered, and Hang Seng is also HSBC." ”

"Shen Bi shouldn't be so stupid, giving up such a big customer for the sake of face." Bill Winter thought for a while and said: "But it is also possible that Chen Zhiwen wants to give up cooperation with HSBC, so in the past, after all, no matter how successful he is, he is still a young man, and his ability and vision are strong, but his mind is still relatively arrogant." ”

"Shall I postpone the meeting with Australia?" The purple-haired assistant said.

"Of course, that meeting is nothing compared to this matter, let's make an appointment." Bill Winter said.

"Okay, then I'll go back to the beauty side first." The purple-haired assistant left immediately after receiving the order. Bill Winter left in deep thought.

In the afternoon of the next day, Bill Winter came to the hotel in advance, led by the waiter, to a sunny suite, there was no one else here, only a few Chinese here, one sat on the sofa in the middle, and there was a team of 4 people behind him, who should be bodyguards or personal assistants.

"Hello, Mr. Winter." Chen Zhiwen has long had a photo of Bill Winter's physiognomy, so he naturally knows each other, and the other party should be the same.

"Hello Chen Sheng." Bill Winter shook hands and smiled. The person in front of him, but the successive acquisitions of the Hutchison Group and the head-on defeat of Jardine Matheson, almost no one in the business world is unsurpassed, and those overseas industries have exceeded the scale of Standard Chartered Bank itself, plus this meeting may bring very great benefits to Standard Chartered Bank and himself, so Bill is very important.

"Please sit down, I know that Mr. Winter likes tea, and I have prepared the more famous Earl Grey tea in England." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, even if the rise of Chinese capital is now, Hong Kong's current main economic force is still British, and a large number of high-quality consumer groups in Hong Kong are also British, so the larger hotels will also prepare a lot of British favorite food, tea, etc., Earl Grey tea is a taste that British aristocrats like, Chen Zhiwen has already arranged it.

"Thank you, I haven't drunk Earl Grey tea for a long time, and in the past few years in Hong Kong, I have also become accustomed to Chinese tea, which tastes very good." Bill Winter said with a laugh.

"There are also mainland teas here, so you can change the taste later." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said that over the years, he has also developed the habit of drinking tea, compared to drinking coffee and smoking, drinking tea is at least really good for his health.

After chatting casually, Bill Winter asked, "Chen Sheng, I don't know why I came out this time?" ”

Chen Zhiwen said: "Actually, it's nothing, I just want to borrow a sum of money from Standard Chartered Bank." ”

"That's no problem, I don't know how much money Chen Sheng needs?" Bill Winter's eyes almost lit up, and sure enough, as he expected, he was looking for himself to borrow, although he knew that Chen Zhiwen's company should not be short of funds, but which rich person does not use the bank's money to develop? In particular, Chen Zhiwen also has a large number of real estate businesses.

"I need almost US$200 million (HK$900 million), and I need a loan in US dollar foreign currency." Chen Zhiwen calmly said a data.

"$200 million?" Bill Winter calculated in his heart, with the scale of Standard Chartered in Hong Kong, it is not a problem to come up with one billion Hong Kong dollars, even if such a large amount of money is taken out, it will definitely affect Standard Chartered's normal business in Hong Kong, but this is not a problem, it is a big deal to ask the headquarters for funds.

After a quick turn in his mind, Bill Winter said: "Chen Sheng, I can spend the $200 million loan, but I don't know what Chen Sheng will use as collateral?" ”

"This." Chen Zhiwen waved his hand, and a person behind him took out a box, put it on the table, and opened it to see that it was a stack of stocks.

"This is, Hongkong Land's stock?" Bill Winter's face changed when he saw the name of the company on the stock.

"According to the market value of Hongkong Land today, the shares here are worth about HK$1.17 billion, what does Mr. Winter think of this mortgage?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"Chen Sheng already has 17% of Hongkong Land shares?" Bill Winter roughly calculated and knew the proportions.

"Pretty much." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said that before the acquisition of Wharf, he used funds to acquire Hongkong Land shares, and the original idea was to reserve a hand to prevent accidents when fighting for control of Wharf, so that the Hongkong Land shares held in his hand may be useful.

However, the follow-up Wharf's shareholders' meeting was held very smoothly and directly obtained the Wharf, but the follow-up acquisition of Hongkong Land shares did not stop, and it was still slowly acquiring, but after losing Wharf, Jardine Matheson began to raise funds and then increased its capital to Land, coupled with the rapid rise of the real estate market, which made Hongkong Land shares higher and higher, and the difficulty of acquisition increased a lot.

Recently, Chen Zhiwen estimated the possible situation in 1983, and felt that it was not very cost-effective to acquire again, so he stopped temporarily, and the acquisition may also be discovered by Jardine Matheson, and the gains outweigh the losses.

And these real estate stocks are also an asset, and it would be too wasteful if they were not used, but if they didn't want Jardine Matheson to find out and mortgage it, they could only find a bank with a general relationship with Jardine, and the scale should be large, and Standard Chartered would be the most suitable.

"I see, this stock can be mortgaged." Bilwin nodded and said, he naturally knew that Chen Zhiwen had so many stocks, and he must also have thoughts about Hongkong Land, but this matter is not easy to say, and it must also be kept secret, otherwise, if Hong Kong is turned upside down, he will offend Chen Zhiwen.

"It's just, Chen Sheng, the general mortgage of stocks is basically at 50% of the cash rate, and you are more than 80%, which is a bit of a violation?" Bill Winter continued.

"It's a bit much, but this fund can be given to me in two months, and by then, Hongkong Land's stock should rise a lot, and we can sign an agreement that if Hongkong Land's stock price falls in the future, I can supplement the undercollateral part." Chen Zhiwen said.

Although gold will grow nearly three times next year, plus leverage, the profit is so high that it can be said to be unprecedented, but he will not bet all the capital into it, and in 1979, all companies are still developing normally, in this year, Midea's arcade, some real estate projects in Hong Kong, should make money or be able to make money, and these funds do not need to be put into the gold market in 1979, because it is not cost-effective to enter too late,

In addition, the housing prices and stock prices of the whole of Hong Kong will continue to rise in 1979, and there will be no major problems, so it is just to stabilize the worries of the banks.

"In this case, it's okay, then, what does Chen Sheng want this money for?" Bill Winter then asked. This is obviously not the acquisition of another company or the purchase of any land, otherwise the shares or land of the acquired company can also be used as collateral.

"I'm going to invest in the United States, but it's not convenient to disclose what to invest in." Chen Zhiwen said that it is normal for banks to ask about the purpose of the loan, and if the investment purpose is recognized, then the bank will be less risky and will lend more money, and vice versa.

"Chen Sheng really embarrassed me." Bill Winter said hesitantly.

"It's true, it may be a bit against the bank's risk control principles, but if it's too conservative, then the opportunity is gone, and as long as I'm here, in fact, how much risk can this project have?" Chen Zhiwen asked with a smile.

"I understand what Chen Sheng means, I can agree to this plan in principle, but on the British headquarters, I'm afraid there will be a bit of twists and turns." Bill Winter said with a frown.

Hong Kong's real estate companies rely on bold guesses to develop their scale, and Hong Kong's Chinese-funded banks, in fact, are the same, but because they have caused several financial run crises, the Hong Kong government has introduced policy restrictions, but there are still many banks doing risk operations, which is also human nature.

And Standard Chartered has a problem, the business style in the UK is different from that in Hong Kong, and those people in the headquarters can't keep up with the rhythm here, but they still have a lot of power.

"Then go through the process as soon as possible, and if it doesn't work, then give me a number that I can lend, or I'll find someone else." Chen Zhiwen said lightly.

"Okay, I will definitely reply to Chen Sheng as soon as possible." Bill Winter promised that he didn't want to lose such an opportunity, because this is not just this deal, once the cooperation is completed, there will be more cooperation in the future, and if the cooperation is not successful, or the cooperation is unpleasant, then the opportunity may be lost in the future.

After getting Bill Winter's promise, Chen Zhiwen also completed one thing, and he came forward in person, in fact, it shows the importance of this matter, at least in terms of probability, it can make the people of Standard Chartered pay more attention to it.

After returning to the headquarters of Galaxy Group, Zhou Jiayang also came over and said, "Chen Sheng, I have already negotiated with several Chinese banks in Hong Kong and several overseas banks, and they will form a bank group and lend a $200 million loan to Hutchison, and they will not ask where to go. ”

PS: There is one more at night, ask for a monthly pass
