The time soon came to July, and after getting tired of playing on the yacht, Chen Zhiwen also returned to Hong Kong land.

On this day, the headquarters of Galaxy Group welcomed a mysterious guest.

"Guo Sheng, I have admired the name for a long time." Chen Zhiwen personally greeted the visitors at the door of the company's downstairs, this kind of treatment, but Morita Shaofu did not come to Hong Kong back then.

"Chen Sheng, I am the one who has admired your name for a long time, and my fame is far behind." The visitor laughed.

"Guo Sheng is humble, the name of the world's sugar king, no one in the whole Southeast Asia knows it." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, the person who came was none other than Guo Henian, the richest man in Malaysia and known as the world's sugar king.

"History is history after all, and now that the era of our people has passed, Chen Sheng is the future of us Chinese." Guo Henian said with a smile.

"Guo Sheng, please, it's hot outside." Chen Zhiwen did not continue to be modest, and invited Guo Henian into the building.

"Yes, please." Guo Henian said politely.

Several people, together with some assistants and bodyguards, followed and entered the building together.

"Chen Sheng, the hall of your building is even more luxurious than the Recreation Building." Guo Henian said after entering.

"It was built a few years later than Kangle, and this is the design of the world's master architect, Bei Jinming." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile: "However, in terms of geographical location, it is too far away from the Kangle Building." ”

"Yes, the location of Central, but the core of Hong Kong, I have been preparing to buy a Central building in Hong Kong for the first two years, but unfortunately encountered the outbreak of the oil crisis, so I stopped, and now looking back, the housing prices in Central are much more expensive than before, I missed this golden period." Guo Henian shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"There is more investment in the golden age, and it is difficult to say the future of Hong Kong's real estate, and there are many opportunities outside of Hong Kong real estate." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said. Housing prices in Hong Kong are very high now, and the price of a square foot of land auctioned recently has exceeded 20,000 yuan, and the foundation area of an office building alone may cost hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

However, compared to the housing prices in Hong Kong in the next 10 years, it is pediatric again, but people don't know it now.

Several people took the elevator to Chen Zhiwen's office, and the assistant brought twice as many high-quality tea.

"Mr. Chen, in addition to inspecting the investment situation in Hong Kong, there is another important thing when I come to Hong Kong, I hope that Kerry Group can take over the agency management rights of RT-Mart or Parknshop supermarkets in some countries other than Malaysia." After Guo Henian drank a cup of tea, he said straight to the point.

"Hutchison has only opened more than 10 RT-Mart and 50 PARKnSHOP supermarkets in Malaysia, right? This amount is just a drop in the bucket for Malaysia, how can Guo Sheng fancy investing in other countries? Chen Zhiwen asked curiously.

In addition to the mainland, Hong Kong and the mainland will operate their own retail in the future, other places, if there is an investment plan, they will give priority to the selection of Chinese with the attitude of alliance with the local area, because in many countries in Southeast Asia, it is difficult to build their own success, and in this way, it will not be as good as cooperating with the local giants, Hong Kong provides goods and management systems, and Southeast Asian local consortiums provide manpower and resources, etc., and the financial two sides supervise together to play a balancing role.

The first country in Southeast Asia to cooperate is in Malaysia, that is, Guo Henian's company, more than a year, the two sides have expanded together in Malaysia, almost more than 10 large supermarkets RT-Mart and medium-sized supermarkets Parknshop.

"Because I am optimistic about Chen Sheng's layout in the retail field, after studying Mr. Chen's entrepreneurial process, I have to admit that Chen Sheng's use of Galaxy Trade to gradually control the purchase of daily necessities in European and American supermarkets is really powerful, and now, suppliers in Malaysia are also the same countermeasures, there is no reason why Southeast Asia can't do it." Guo Henian continued, "Although the retail industry in Malaysia has only just started, I have sufficient funds to work with PARKnSHOP in several countries at the same time. ”

"In other countries, can Guo Sheng ensure that he can open supermarkets on a large scale unharmed? This is not a factory. Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and asked.

Investing in factories that can drive employment anywhere, especially for export products, is absolutely welcomed by the locality, and supermarkets can also drive employment, but they are going to make money locally, and the local area itself must have a similar industrial chain, which forms a strong conflict, in Europe and the United States, these countries that advertise free trade are a little better, as long as they don't go too far, it's generally fine, but so many small countries in Southeast Asia are difficult to say.

"I can't myself, but in every place in Southeast Asia, there are actually Chinese forces, many Chinese billionaires are also in groups, or some capable people can dominate one side, these decades, I know the Chinese who have certain achievements in Southeast Asia, they basically cover many countries in Asia, so I can act as an intermediary to introduce these people to Chen Sheng, and then we can cooperate to invest, how? According to the rules of cooperation between us, your people will manage it, and the local people will be responsible for all kinds of things, and in terms of procurement, light industrial products will be provided by Galaxy Trading, and local people will be responsible for local procurement. Guo Henian said.

"Yes, but if Guo Sheng also joins, how will the shares be divided?" Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

In the retail industry, the right to purchase is the most important, which is understood by individuals, to expand in Southeast Asia, the appropriate benefits must be divided, in addition to equity, there is also a part of the right to purchase, all kinds of daily necessities belong to Galaxy Trade, other food, fruits, local specialties and so on are purchased by local people, but both sides also have a balance, that is, financial supervision.

Procurement, there will always be a little oil and water, as long as it is not too outrageous, even the daily necessities provided by Galaxy Trade are more expensive than those provided to Europe and the United States, but even so, PARKnSHOP and RT-Mart are still very competitive in Malaysia, and in countries without industrial capacity, industrial products are very expensive.

"As for the shares, I don't want more, you let me 10%, how about it, I can act as a middleman to ensure that Chen Sheng's investment will not have major problems, how about it?" Guo Henian said with a smile.

"Guo Sheng is really good at business, okay, no problem." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

I am afraid of being pitted by people in Southeast Asia, but the local consortium in Southeast Asia is actually also afraid of being pitted by an international consortium, doing business, trust is one of the biggest costs, two unfamiliar people start to cooperate, there will be difficulties in many aspects, it takes a long time to run-in, we understand each other, and we can be considered to be able to cooperate normally.

As the sugar king who has been in Southeast Asia for decades, he is naturally familiar with and trusted by many people in Southeast Asia, and he himself has business dealings with Hong Kong, and has cooperated with Hutchison in Malaysia for more than two years, so he is naturally the best candidate for this middleman.

For Chen Zhiwen, instead of slowly selecting and screening suitable candidates in so many countries in Southeast Asia one by one, and then still need to work together for a long time, it is better to let Guo Henian be the middleman, so that he can reduce a lot of risks and reduce a lot of unnecessary time, which can be said to be a win-win situation.

"Chen Sheng has won the award, and win-win cooperation is the goal I have been pursuing." Guo Henian smiled and said: "By the way, I heard that Chen Sheng bought a very large farm in the United States, and there are many similar ones in Southeast Asia, if you are interested, I can also help you introduce it." ”

"Not at the moment." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said that the uncertainty of the future economy of Southeast Asia is too high, even if it is to be acquired, it is more cost-effective to wait until the Asian financial crisis.

"Okay, Chen Sheng can look for me when you need it." Guo Henian nodded and said.

"Guo Sheng, I don't know if you are interested in investing in China?" Chen Zhiwen asked suddenly.
