397 Satellite TV plan
"Only 900,000? What kind of port can this build? Chen Zhiwen asked.
"Mr. Chen, the port of Shenhai City is not ready to be like Shekou, if you do not buy large-scale port equipment, and the export volume is not large, the infrastructure requirements will not be very high, and 900,000 yuan is only a government grant, and the follow-up is still ready to borrow from the Bank of Japan." Yuan Geng explained.
"So that's what happened. I also have a bank in Hong Kong, so I don't necessarily need to borrow from a Japanese bank. Chen Zhiwen said casually.
"I don't know why Shenhai City chose the Bank of Japan, but in the past two years, the Bank of Japan has lent money to many projects in China, and many railways in the north have been built with funds from the Bank of Japan." Yuan Geng said: "However, if I lack funds in Shekou Industrial Zone, I will definitely be the first to give priority to Hisense Bank."
"I'll just talk, it's fine." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said that after the reform of China, there is indeed a lot of cooperation with Japan, and the largest project is naturally Baosteel in Shanghai, and there are many other fields. This may not only be a purely economic cooperation, but also some high-end technology transactions.
However, what no one knows is that the yen appreciated sharply after the Plaza Accord, and the domestic transactions were all yen, which also led to heavy losses for many projects in the next few years, but he had no way to interfere in this kind of thing, at most he had the opportunity to use his own Hisense Bank to grab loans for some small projects, and that kind of extra-large project could not succeed.
"Oh, that's good." Yuan Geng smiled, and said to the guy who had just walked by, "Man, let's have some more roast mutton." ”
"Okay." The guy also knew that the two of them had special identities, so he hurriedly ran to do something.
After a small turn in Shenhai City, Chen Zhiwen returned to Hong Kong, this time there was no investment purpose, just to take a look, but he knew the news of Yantian Port.
The day after returning to Hong Kong, Chen Zhiwen came to the Hutchison Building and told Zhou Jiayang about it.
"Chen Sheng, I'm sorry, I didn't get any news that Shenhai City is preparing to build a port." Zhou Jiayang said apologetically that the boss had long regarded the port as one of the main core industries of Hutchison in the future, which also clearly indicated that the domestic port market would be an important investment direction in the future, and therefore, Hutchison invested in the port of Shekou Industrial Zone, but he did not get the news that Shenhai City was preparing to build a port.
"This is also normal, the total investment project is only 900,000 yuan, it is estimated that for the Shenhai Municipal Government, it is also a small investment, if I hadn't heard about it by chance, I wouldn't have known." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said that the current scale of Midea Hutchison is in the unit of "100 million", and without such an amount of investment, it is really difficult to attract their attention.
In fact, Chen Zhiwen also sent some people to the mainland to work in the offices of several of his companies in the mainland, and at the same time, he would also let these people pay attention to some domestic things, such as economic policies, large-scale project investment, etc., most of which are useless, and Chen Zhiwen just wants to understand it, maybe it will stimulate some of his forgotten memories.
It's the same in Shenhai City, but the investment of 900,000 yuan, even if his subordinates know about it, they won't report it, after all, this kind of investment is available in every city in China, and there are so many of them.
"Do we need to find a way to get involved?" Zhou Jiayang asked.
"Of course, but don't just run over and invest, it's too abrupt." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said: "I know that this project mainly relies on Japanese banks to lend money for investment, you go to discuss with Huo Jianning, arrange a capable commissioner, visit this Yantian Port Port Company, and say that our Hisense Bank can provide more preferential loans, regardless of whether you can grab the loan or not, but this can be regarded as a contact first, and then find a way to invest." ”
"This is a good way, I'll go to Huo Jianning later." Zhou Jiayang said with a smile.
At present, Hong Kong's real estate market is not good,It also leads to a difficult life for the bank,In this case,Hisense Bank went to China to find customers in the past,Otherwise,Hutchison, a giant with total assets of more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars,To invest in a project of tens of millions,It seems too deliberate。
"That's it, it's not a big deal, how are you talking with the Hong Kong government? Bidding for land restrictions? Chen Zhiwen asked again.
The future of Yantian Port is indeed a large port, but now it is a small point, and the investment does not cost much, it doesn't matter if you don't invest, it still needs to be expanded many times in the future, and there are also opportunities, the current Shenhai City, although the economic development is good, but the foundation is poor, and it is not very rich, but it is not like Shanghai City, and the project of Pudong Port is world-class.
At present, the opportunity of Hong Kong's real estate crisis is much larger, and it can even be said that if you hoard more land in Hong Kong, the future income will not be much worse than that of large ports, but the influence is much worse.
"What the Hong Kong government means is that we have too many requests, and they can appropriately lower the restrictions on some land, but there won't be many, but how much is this [appropriate]? They didn't make it clear, so they had to wait for the next auction to see. Zhou Jiayang said.
"Well, it's expected, the Hong Kong government may make appropriate concessions, but it is impossible to meet our demands immediately." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "Then follow up and stare at the point, if there is such a development time limit or a relatively long time, then don't think about it, just shoot it directly." ”
"Okay, that's fine." After Zhou Jiayang agreed, he said: "In addition, I have arranged to start acquiring the shares of the real estate five tigers, and it is estimated that it will take half a year to reach 15% of the share." ”
"It doesn't matter, just take your time, there's no pressure, and I'm not ready to buy these companies." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.
The five real estate tigers are Cheung Kong Industrial, Hehe Industrial, Sun Hung Kai Group, New World Group, Henderson Land, these five heads, in addition to the transfer of assets to the mainland of Hehe, the others are the future Hong Kong top consortium, and Hu Yingxiang, was reminded by himself, plus the funding of Shanghai CITIC Bank, it is estimated that it will continue to develop in Hong Kong.
Buying the shares of these companies is naturally beneficial and harmless, but the acquisition is not necessary, although these companies are not small, and they also have a lot of high-quality land, but the real value is still their founder and the team he built, and it is useless to buy them themselves, these people are unlikely to work for others.
This is completely different from Hongkongdi, Hongkong's assets are the accumulation of a hundred years of full effort and money, and the current head has no ability at all, so he naturally has to replace him.
"I understand, but it's better not to let them find out, otherwise it may cause some misunderstanding." Zhou Jiayang said.
"Okay." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, "Have you acquired any high-quality land in the market?" Or property? ”
"Not yet, there are some ordinary ones, probably because people who can own high-quality land will have some other assets, and they will not sell the best quality real estate until they have to." Zhou Jiayang analyzed.
"Then wait a little longer, I don't believe that in another year, they will be able to hold on." Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said.
From last year's economic crisis to now, it has only been half a year, and many people can hold on for a period of time even if they have debts, just say that Land, at present, it seems that there is no big problem on the surface, and it can even pay dividends to shareholders, after all, its own capital reserves are not low, plus a large number of buildings to provide rent, it is no problem to last for half a year.
But it can last a year, but there are very few, after all, there are financial reports every quarter, although the financial reports can be properly modified, but can not be faked, once the reserve resources are exhausted, the accounts can not be suppressed, that will inevitably cause the bank to shrink credit, capital flow problems, Hongdi and Jardine, that's it.
"As far as I know, many large consortia have extremely serious debts, such as Hang Lung Properties, Great Eagle Holdings, Wheelock and Oocl, and if Hong Kong's economy does not improve quickly, they will all encounter problems similar to those of Hutchison a few years ago." Zhou Jiayang said.
"This is also our opportunity, but we don't need to take the initiative, when they can't hold on, we can provide assistance, either take over the property in their hands that can't continue, or invest in shares, even if it's a good-natured white knight, especially many Chinese-funded consortiums, we forcibly buy, there's no need." Chen Zhiwen said.
In the past few years, Chen Zhiwen has repeatedly forcibly acquired large consortia, which has made many large companies more vigilant, but fortunately, the acquisitions are all British-funded consortia, but it has also made many Chinese investors feel at ease, Chen Zhiwen also intends to maintain this state, he does not need to eat too much alone, if he can help others when they are at a low point, they can make a lot of money when they get projects, and they can benefit from shares for a long time.
"Okay, then we'll wait until they can't stand it anymore." Zhou Jiayang said.
"By the way, there is another thing, called B official letter for land certificate, this thing has been acquired by me a few years ago, and now that the land price has fallen, it should be a lot cheaper, its attribute is similar to stocks, just buy it with money, and you don't need to choose everywhere like buying land." Chen Zhiwen said again.
"OK, I'll check the market situation first, and I'll report to you when the information is ready." Zhou Jiayang said.
"Well, another thing, TVB, is basically a monopoly in the Hong Kong market now, right?" Chen Zhiwen paused, took a sip of tea, and asked again.
“TVB? It's a monopoly indeed. Zhou Jiayang was suddenly stunned, the boss's question caught him off guard, after all, although TVB is a monopoly giant of Hong Kong TV stations, it can make a profit, it is really not as good as a real estate project in Hutchison, that is, its attributes are somewhat special, and it can advertise for its own real estate, banks, various commodities, and supermarkets, otherwise, this kind of profitable company, he may only look at the financial report once a year.
"After the monopoly, it is necessary to expand outward, otherwise, we will be trapped in Hong Kong forever." Chen Zhiwen said.
"What do you mean by Chen Sheng, satellite TV?" Zhou Jiayang asked, this is not difficult to guess, because it is almost impossible to go to other countries to get a TV license, even the American hegemon, it is difficult to do, and satellite TV stations can allow people to receive signals within half the world, which is also the method of expansion of many local TV stations, through satellites, to increase a large number of users.
However, this cost is relatively high, whether it is cost-effective, or it depends on the ability of the TV station, the ability is stronger, the number of customers is more, the advertising cost will naturally increase, otherwise, it will be lost to vomit blood, the current satellite leasing cost, is still very high.
"Yes, first find a way to rent a satellite channel in the Asia-Pacific region and release our channel signal, here in Asia, there are many Chinese, and there are many areas influenced by Chinese, which is our primary customer." Chen Zhiwen said.
