A week later, Chan arrived at the Hutchison Building, where he met Hutchison Group handing out Christmas gifts to all employees.

Zhou Jiayang naturally accompanied Chen Zhiwen at the door for a while.

Chen Zhiwen asked: "What do you usually send at Christmas?" ”

Zhou Jiayang said: "Generally it is some fruits that can last for a long time, Hong Kong fruits are actually very expensive, and there are also consumption coupons for PARKnSHOP supermarkets, and sometimes there are some consumables, such as umbrellas with construction site logos, sun hats, thermos cups, etc." In fact, it is not much money, but it is mainly a benefit. ”

"Okay, it's rare to have fun at the end of the year." Chen Zhiwen nodded, Hutchison's employees, in fact, are not very poor, but it may be that saving has become a habit for many people, and they will not spend more physical goods and only money.

Several other companies are similar, the beauty of the past is also the discovery of gold, and then found out that this was changed, although many people feel that the money is the most real, but from the company's point of view, it is more meaningful to send some food.

"In fact, we just mean Christmas, mainly because Hong Kong still has the habit of celebrating Christmas, and before the New Year, it is actually the bulk of our welfare." Zhou Jiayang said with a smile.

"Yes, we Chinese, the Chinese New Year is the most correct festival." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

The holiday gift is just a small thing, Chen Zhiwen took a look at the things inside, many of them are durable apples, oranges, dragon fruit, etc., with the current price of fruits in Hong Kong, many people may indeed buy and eat, the practicality is very strong, and the others have a sunscreen umbrella, which is engraved with a yellow logo, which is very atmospheric, and it can be regarded as a grade when it is used on rainy days.

"These are actually made by the suppliers of Galaxy Trading, the price is very low, but the quality is very good." Zhou Jiayang said again.

"Yes, the resources have been used to the fullest." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, the existence of Galaxy trade, so that the cost of many daily necessities has been reduced a lot, when the scale is bigger, it can radiate to the whole of Hong Kong, many daily necessities in the PARKnSHOP supermarket are cheap, not only beat other peers, but also reduce the cost of living of the people in Hong Kong, which may not be very big, but it can be a little less.

"Yes, the production cost in the mainland is indeed low and scary, but unfortunately Hutchison is not in the industry, otherwise I would definitely move some factories there." Zhou Jiayang said with a smile.

"The mainland is not only low in labor costs, but also in the future market, and there will be opportunities in the future." Chen Zhiwen smiled lightly and said, "But that's also a matter for the future, let's go up and talk about it." ”

"Okay, over here." Zhou Jiayang hurriedly said.

Subsequently, a group of people entered the Hutchison Building, attracting the attention of countless people nearby, and everyone knew that it was the big boss.

After coming to the office building on the top floor, Chen Zhiwen looked into the distance and said, "This Hutchison Building is still too short and a little old after all. ”

Hutchison Building was built in the early 60s, when it was the top building in Hong Kong, but now, it just can't keep up with the times, that is, two years ago, the new buildings built by small real estate companies on Hong Kong Island are taller than Hutchison, and if it weren't for air traffic control in Kowloon, it is estimated that there will be no fewer high-rise buildings.

"Chen Sheng, is it the same as the Midea Building, we demolished the Hutchison Building and built a new one?" Zhou Jiayang personally made the tea and asked with a smile.

"That's not necessary, the beauty of the building is because of its unique location, Hutchison is in a general location, it is not cost-effective to demolish and rebuild, I remember that Hutchison did not take a lot of unsold land from the Hong Kong government before, it should also be near Central, right?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

The location of the Hutchison Building in Hong Kong can only be said to be not bad, but it is not excellent, in the original history, Li Ka-shing also demolished this building in the 21st century.

Instead of tearing it down and building it again, it's better to build another one in another place, and one of them can be rented out here to make money in the future. The essence of the difference in the way of choosing a building from Midea is that the land price is different.

"There is also land in Central, but it is a little smaller, and I am afraid it is not possible to build a very tall building." Zhou Jiayang thought for a while and said: "Chen Sheng will wait a few more days, I will study it again, maybe I can choose a piece of land, and then buy the area near it, so that I can get a large area." ”

To build a high-rise building, the area cannot be small, which is not only for economic reasons, but also for safety reasons.

"Okay, there's no rush for this, you just take your time, just find the right location, and build it better." Chen Zhiwen said: "Let's talk about Landmark. ”

"Chen Sheng, according to our plan, our people have a rough idea of the scale of Hongkong Land's debt, before we borrowed, their debt was 18.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, plus our 3 billion, almost 21.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is basically 75% of Hongkong Land's total assets, with the current interest, Hongkong Land's current internal rent and other operating income, even the interest can not be repaid." Zhou Jiayang said.

Since it has spent a lot of money to buy the other party's people, it is naturally impossible to do only one thing, and before there is no report, it is natural that you can do something, and Hutchison's requirements are also very simple, they are all some information and data that can be remembered, and there is no need to take anything, such a thing as debt, Hongkong Land can hide from outsiders and even many shareholders, but it is impossible to hide from the internal financial executives, because the entire accounting is done by these people.

"21.5 billion, that's good, I estimate that the 3 billion funds will be used up in January, and most of them will be used, your people are optimistic about the flow of funds, once it is confirmed that they can't get it back, it's time for us to do it." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

In the original history, Hongkong Land had a debt of 16 billion Hong Kong dollars at its peak, compared with now, not considering the 3 billion Hong Kong dollars he recently lent, that is, today's Hongkong Land has 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars more debts than in the original history, which is basically the result of Chen Zhiwen luring the Hong Kong government to bid for the land king in advance, with more than 2 billion more land purchase money plus the cost of starting construction in advance.

Yizhi mutual control is indeed unbreakable, but as long as it is bankrupt, there is no prison.

"I understand, I have arranged for him to keep an eye on Hongkong Land's large financial flow at any time, he is the deputy financial director of Hongkong Land, and a lot of information is just at hand for him." Zhou Jiayang smiled and said: "Anyway, it was told to us orally, and there would be no evidence left, and he was very happy." ”

"You say, we can buy the people of Landmark, so will our people also be bought?" Chen Zhiwen asked suddenly.

"It is very likely that as long as someone spends money, we have so many employees, even if there are hundreds of high-level executives who can access some secrets of the company, it is impossible to prevent them all." Zhou Jiayang replied decisively: "However, Hutchison also has a certain internal anti-corruption mechanism and reporting mechanism, as long as someone contacts them and reports to the company, the company will also give them great benefits after verification, one is to prevent commercial espionage inside, and the second is to at least let us know who is trying to hit us." ”

There is no reason and method to prevent thieves in a thousand days, especially internal thieves, and they can only be interfered with and discovered in time through some means.

"Yes, you can." Chen Zhiwen didn't care too much, as long as his company developed well, there would be no big loopholes, and outsiders would be able to get some benefits through some information at most, rather than preparing to buy other companies like his own.

Commercial espionage, it is difficult to do it completely, it can only be said that try to control all kinds of information, such as the Midea Group, there are more commercial espionage, after all, it is currently the world's largest game group. At present, dozens of people who have been bribed and even sent for interviews by their counterparts in Japan or Europe and the United States have been sent to the Independent Commission Against Corruption, these people are not just like Hutchison who just need to understand the development of things, but want to take away the company's core ideas and code, but these are strictly protected, and many people are arrested when they take the risk of trying.

When the company is large, this kind of problem is inevitable, as long as the core management does not have problems, as for the financial department of Hongkong Land this time, it will not work in Chen Zhiwen's company, because the company's accounting situation is good, and it is useless for outsiders to know.

Actually,It's not abnormal for Hongkong Land to do this,Because normal banks,In fact, they also turn a blind eye to this kind of thing,But Hisense's loan this time is completely for the boss's acquisition of Land,Otherwise,If Chen Zhiwen doesn't want to acquire Land,Then knowing that land prices will recover in the future and even soar further,It will only deepen cooperation with the current Land,At most, take advantage of the land crisis to get more benefits。

Chen Zhiwen asked again: "How many shares of Hongkong Land and Jardine Matheson do we have?" ”

"In the case of Land, it is almost 21.6% of the shares, and in the case of Jardine Matheson, it is almost 18%, which is a little less." Zhou Jiayang replied: "Because of Yizhi's mutual control, a large number of shares have flowed to Landmark Jardine Matheson, and it is almost impossible for us to continue to acquire without affecting the stock market at today's share." ”

"Okay, there's no need to continue the acquisition, I bought these just to have a chance to speak at the shareholders' meeting, as long as it exceeds the shares of the Keswick family." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "Yizhi mutual control can't be cracked, we will first let Hongkong Land to the brink of bankruptcy and then propose the acquisition at the shareholders' meeting, I think many shareholders should agree, but in order to avoid extreme situations, this group of ghosts would rather go bankrupt than sell, then we need to prepare the second move, count a lot of cash, if it is really going to be auctioned, we are ready to take over these properties at any time." ”

If you can't get something, you can only destroy it first, and then see if you can restore it, anyway, the core asset of Hongkong Land is a bunch of Central properties, and the rest, if you have money, you can still buy it.

However, it is unlikely that the fish will die and the net will be broken.

"This probability should be very low, but I will still be prepared, before Hutchison and Hengyi also had a lot of dollars overseas, before the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate crisis, we also exchanged a lot of dollars and property together, the current Hong Kong dollar in Hutchison's hands is not a problem, and another, we can also bid for a property, immediately re-mortgage, reduce financial pressure." Zhou Jiayang said.

The nature of auctioning a building is not the same as acquiring a building, the latter can make a small amount of money and undertake the original loan, but the auction is not good, it is necessary to immediately pay real money, but it can be subsequently mortgaged, but this may require a certain turnaround time, and if the land is auctioned on a large scale and then concentrated, there will be a lot of financial pressure.

But fortunately, before the previous Hong Kong dollar crisis, the entire group was trying to exchange dollars, Hisense Bank and Hutchison Group made a lot of money through dollar transactions, and Midea Red Bull, although not directly involved, also enjoyed the change in the official exchange rate, from 5.5 to 7.8. Of course, in dollar terms, that still doesn't make money.

"OK, keep an eye on Keswick, this guy doesn't know if he will have any sons, the rest, just wait for the beginning of next year, once the land has spent our money, it's time for them to die." Chen Zhiwen said lightly.
