The biggest advantage of investing in a real estate company in Hong Kong is that you don't need to worry about it yourself.

When Hang Lung gets the funds he needs, Chan Tsang Hei will be able to give full play to his best ability to complete the entire project, and then hand over the seven buildings that Chan needs to Hongkong Land, and will also give himself the dividends he deserves in the future.

Chen Zhiwen only needs to invest funds, and he doesn't need to care about anything, and if he does it himself, although he also has his subordinates to do things, he still has to ask for instructions on more or less important things, such things, one or two don't matter, too much, and he is tired.

Starting a business and becoming a super-rich, some people like to put themselves into it and keep themselves busy to become superhuman, but Chen Zhiwen is not, the work that should be done should be done naturally, and it may reduce its own things, but it still needs to be reduced, and there is no need to do everything by yourself.

The highest level of making money may be to let capable people make money for themselves, just like after 15 years, just invest a sum of money and give it to Taobao or QQ, which is not much more comfortable than running it yourself.

Of course, the influence of the career is naturally different, if you travel to the mainland in the 90s, you may also personally participate, but now when you have become a strong capital, it is most appropriate to participate in investment.

"Chen Sheng, there is good news from the British side, our people have found a few shareholders who hold shares in Rio Tinto, and they are also willing to sell, a total of 2.1% of the shares, according to the market price of almost 20 million pounds, they ask for 25 million." Inside the Hutchison Building, Zhou Jiayang came to report.

"A 25% increase? It's not too high, just take it. Chen Zhiwen didn't care too much about the price, if he wanted to buy other people's shares, he would definitely need to rise a little, but fortunately it was not a real acquisition company, otherwise it would be possible to double it.

"Okay." Zhou Jiayang nodded, and said: "In addition, Shengxi Yacht has also reached a cooperation agreement, and the transaction price is 32 million pounds, but there is another problem, the British government requires us to sign a letter of commitment that we must produce Shengxi Yacht in the UK." ”

"Is this a dream? If I sign this kind of thing, why should I buy this yacht company? Tell them that if you want to sell it, you can sell it, and if you don't sell it, I will go to Northern Europe to find it. Chen Zhiwen said toughly.

If it is a British car brand, considering the uniqueness of the world, even if the other party is demanding or unreasonable, he will not decide to give up at will, but a cruise company, although it also has a brand, but this is not very important.

If you don't consider that you are a little selfish and want to leave some suitable manufacturing industry for Hong Kong, it is impossible to participate in this industry at all.

Besides, there are many such companies in many coastal countries in Europe, from Northern Europe to Germany to Italy in Southern Europe, and it is not difficult to change one.

"Okay. However, it should not be negotiable to talk about it again, and it is estimated that the British government will also be worried about whether we will move the factory directly after the acquisition. Zhou Jiayang said.

"The British government wants to protect jobs, and I can understand it, for example, like the United States before, sign a two-year or three-year employment protection agreement, which is not a problem, but that kind of contract must not be signed, not to mention that I am ready to relocate, even if I don't have this plan now, I can't trap myself to death." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said.

"Okay, I understand." Zhou Jiayang nodded, he actually didn't agree with this matter, but he had to report it to the boss no matter what he said.

"Find a few others, for reference, it can also be used to reduce prices, this matter is not in a hurry, take your time!" Chen Zhiwen also said that this is not the layout of his core business, it is purely his personal hobby, and it doesn't matter if he is a year and a half late.

"Okay." Zhou Jiayang nodded and said.

……

Time flew by, and soon it was another month later.

"Chen Sheng, this is the final offer for Delphi batteries, 75 million US dollars, and the Michigan government has also put forward some basic requirements, which are not very excessive, mainly to protect local jobs." Lei Shengli handed over a piece of information.

"I think they have a market cap of about $60 million!" After Chen Zhiwen thought about it, he took the information and said.

Involving less than 100 million US dollars in acquisitions, he basically won't participate too much, but he will still occasionally ask, or his subordinates will also submit some information, so he also knows some information, and although this battery business is currently small in scale and the market is small, it is a super industry comparable to automobiles and chips in the future.

"Yes, before our acquisition, the market capitalization was about $57 million, and it was only a mid-sized company in the United States, and there were two factories in Detroit and New York State, but after the news of our acquisition came out, the stock price went up a lot, and it was almost $75 million." Lei Shengli said.

"These two factories, the production of dry batteries are in Detroit, which doesn't matter, but why is the factory that produces car batteries in New York State? Isn't that farther from Detroit? After Chen Zhiwen looked at the information for a while, he asked a little strangely.

"This is because, in the 60s, there was an earthquake in the United States, which led to the local auto parts industry being cut off, affecting almost all car companies in the United States, so the auto group began to arrange for many parts suppliers to move out of Detroit to prevent similar things from happening, that is, even the car factories are ready to disperse, but there are unions in it, so not everyone has succeeded." Zhou Jiayang explained.

"Then do we have a UW union in these two factories?" Chen Zhiwen asked again.

UAW, which is the union abbreviation of American auto workers, not only exists in the auto OEMs, but also some parts companies are also affected by them, and for any manufacturing industry, these people are like dog skin plasters, too troublesome. The decline of the American auto industry has a lot to do with this union.

"Yes, this is an established fact that has existed for decades, and the whole of the United States, the larger companies around the auto industry, have been infiltrated by the UAW, but the dry battery factory in Delphi is not directly related to the auto industry, there is only a common union." "Because Delphi is a small factory with less than 500 employees, the two unions just sent someone to check in and make sure we didn't lay off any of the big layoffs," Lei said. ”

"Well, that's fine, after the acquisition is completed, immediately from the United States in Yanjing, Shenhai factory, send people who understand English and understand technology to the United States to learn relevant knowledge, almost you can consider building a factory in the mainland, first in Shekou, to ensure sole proprietorship, in addition, try to communicate with Galaxy Trading, for Delphi's dry battery to find a new market, the factory in the United States, even if we don't move recently, we rely on our own extra production capacity, I will also put it in the mainland to produce." Chen Zhiwen said.

In the first half of this year, the mainland once again opened 14 port cities to further attract foreign investment and develop the economy, but the policy is not as good as the deep sea, and there is no industrial park like Shekou that allows foreign investment to be wholly owned.

Of course, in the case of loosening the policy, if it is a large investment, it can also be discussed, after all, as long as it brings foreign exchange and employment, the central and even local governments will not give up at will, but the battery industry is not very big at present, there is no need to send the United States brand or their own face, just build a factory in Shekou Industrial Zone.

As for the United States, if it can still maintain its R&D capabilities, it is not a problem to raise a dedicated R&D institution, but the factory, sooner or later, will have to be relocated, in addition to the car battery factory, it is convenient to supply local car brands in the United States, at least in a short time.

"Okay, if the mainland can produce it, not to mention the Galaxy Trade side, even our handheld machine, there will be a large number of orders." Lei Shengli said with a smile.

Midea's handheld Gameboy, which contains games that were once best-selling on arcades and home game consoles, such as snakes, magic cubes, and space invaders, are now placed on a small handheld, portability is very convenient, you can play in various places, and the sales are also very hot, close to tens of millions in a year, and the number of batteries distributed will be 4~6 times.

"Can't just rely on internal orders, if you want to become bigger and stronger, you have to go through the external test, if you move to the mainland, I don't worry about labor costs, but if you want to do a good job, you still have to rely on technology, and the investment in this area can not be less, the mainland is not only a factory, but also a place for research and development, in the deep sea city, you can also set up a special battery research and development center, and then go to some universities, invite professionals in this area to come, both China and the United States need research and development." Chen Zhiwen said again.

At present, the research and development of batteries in China may not be as good as Japan, the United States and European countries, but it is certainly much stronger than a new company, and the number of talents is certainly a lot, and they need to use these resources to develop.

"Okay." Lei Shengli nodded and said.

"Delphi's automotive battery factory, you can also cooperate with AMC, in the future if I succeed in acquiring cars in Europe, I can also participate in the supply, but since there is a uaw union, it must not be able to recruit people anymore, and the technical difficulty of automotive batteries should not be very high, so arrange to go to Yanjing to build a branch factory, and the future production capacity of the United States will be put into this Yanjing factory, and it can also supply Yanjing Jeep factory and other domestic automobile factories in the future." Chen Zhiwen thought about it and said.

uaw is a difficult character, and AMC can't help it, so they all use the same strategy, don't recruit people, anyway, your union will affect me to lay off employees at most, but you can't control if I don't recruit people.

The Yanjing Jeep factory has also begun to operate, and the production capacity is also improving, and after a period of quality testing, then at least the Jeep export business can be transferred to China, although there is still a joint venture problem, but the establishment of a trading company in Hong Kong can also be solved.
