618 Rio Tinto visited

"Chen Sheng, can you take the liberty of asking, what is your ultimate goal?" Liu Luanxiong asked tentatively, this is actually a bit presumptuous, but if it is really cooperation, then the purpose must be clear, multi-faceted attacks, and we must know what the real goal is, so as to maximize the maximum efficiency of each offensive.

"The main purpose is that I want all the industries of Swire Group in the beverage industry, supplemented by the real estate industry and the aviation industry, but the latter is not very likely, at most suppressed, and it is unlikely that it will be acquired." Chen Zhiwen said: "You don't have to think too much, you just do your best to toss Swire Properties, a listed company in Hong Kong, you have enough funds, are you not sure?" ”

"Okay, Chen Sheng, I am involved in this matter, and I will definitely do my best." After thinking for a moment, Liu Luanxiong agreed without hesitation. Once Chen Zhiwen, Bao Yugang these Chinese-funded bigwigs, a few years ago set off a wave of acquisition of British-funded enterprises, which day is not famous in Hong Kong, and even the future into the history records are possible, such an event, to be able to participate in it, for anyone, is a great honor, especially the particularity of Hong Kong, here to clean up the British will naturally carry the "hero" halo, and in other places, no matter how tossed, it is just an acquisition, even if it is a small swallow, at most a little bigger.

Although Chen Zhiwen is behind him, no matter what the reason, Chen Zhiwen found himself, it must be because he didn't want to oppose Swire on the surface, of course, a mere Swire will definitely not let Chen Zhiwen taboo, it is more likely to give face to the Hong Kong government, or the British behind it, after all, people are international businessmen, and they also have to consider business in other countries, and in this case, the honor belongs to themselves.

"Okay, this matter is relatively sudden for you, I definitely didn't think about it before, you can think about what to do when you go back, give me a plan, as long as it is reasonable, then I will support you, as for the future income distribution, you can go to Dong Youwei of Land, he will discuss with you, in the future, you can go directly to him if you have something, he can't be the master, so he will naturally bring you to me." Chen Zhiwen said again.

"Okay, no problem." Da Liu replied.

The two chatted for a while, Chen Zhiwen was very interested in Liu Luanxiong's attack methods in some stock markets, and then Dong Youwei was also called over, even if the two sides got to know each other, for Hongkong Land's existing Taipan, although it was only a part-time job, but Liu Luanxiong was also very respectful, after a while, Liu Luanxiong resigned, the incident happened suddenly, and he could not immediately have any good ideas to deal with Swire Properties, after all, the other party is also a strong enterprise, even if there are loopholes, it will take months or even years to lay out before it can succeed.

"This Liu Luanxiong is very capable, you have to cooperate with him in the future." Chen Zhiwen said to Dong Youwei. To be able to rise in Hong Kong, which is almost monopolized by traditional giants, and become the new top ten richest families, its ability is certainly beyond doubt, and even if Da Liu was born 20 years earlier, there will probably be no problem with Li Jiacheng, Lee Shau Kee and others, and it is even possible to surpass it. And he is the only one who likes to make waves in the stock market, of course, it may also be because the traditional market is controlled by the old family, and the newcomer has no chance, and he can't fight hard.

In any case, it would be a pity not to take advantage of such a powerful person, and in this process, Da Liu will definitely be able to gain huge profits and fame.

Today's Hong Kong market, on the surface, is still tolerant, so at the official level, it is not good to kill British capital, Chen Zhiwen is not an official person, naturally he doesn't care, but now he has a lot of capital investment in the UK, especially mini, Tesco, plus Europe is the same, therefore, it is not very convenient for me to start against Taikoo, not to say that he is afraid of anyone, but it is not necessary, and the interests are not enough for him to take the initiative to cause some trouble.

However, if someone else started it, it has nothing to do with you, even if you are behind it, everyone knows, but as long as you don't express your position, that's fine, the agent game, the whole world is playing, in Hong Kong, Da Liu, who has just risen recently, is obviously the most suitable person.

As one of the four major foreign companies, the scale of the Swire Group is second only to the Jardine Matheson, and above Hutchison, a Cathay Pacific Airways, a best-selling beverage company in Southeast Asia, and a shipping company with a large scale, is the foundation of Swire, but it has been developed in Hong Kong for hundreds of years, and it has also hoarded a large amount of land, and the most famous Taikoo Shing in Hong Kong in the 70s is one of them, this land can be said to be one of the largest residential plots in Hong Kong, and Taikoo Shing has also become the favorite of Hong Kong's middle and high classes. Now it is free to Midea or Red Bull's high-rise residence, which is a Taikoo Shing, which can bring Swire Group a net profit of almost 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, which was in the 70s.

"Know, it's good to be able to disrupt Swire Group, which has been competing with us for some commercial land for a long time, which has increased our costs for no reason." Dong Youwei nodded and said. Hong Kong's Chinese real estate consortium is basically owned by Landmark or Jardine Matheson, plus the support of Hisense Bank, everyone is basically together, even if you encounter any high-quality projects, you can also sit down and discuss, but some British capital is not the case, especially Swire, often has vicious competition with Land, but this is also a normal business, these two are the leading enterprises in Hong Kong's real estate industry, when there is a particularly high-quality land, there is competition is normal, but from the perspective of Land, it is definitely not happy.

"Well, it's still a bit difficult to completely clean up Taigu, but as long as Liu Luanxiong can interfere with them, it's enough." Chen Zhiwen said: "I will immediately arrange for very Coke to reduce the price of Swire Beverages and some Coca-Cola places, while grabbing the market, it can also suppress Swire's beverage industry, Dragonair, even if the British government of Hong Kong delays, but under the pressure of the media of the mainland government, it will also issue licenses, although it is impossible to have any pressure on Cathay Pacific in recent years, but there will definitely be an impact psychologically." Shoot in three directions together, and it depends on how Swire responds. ”

"It depends on the Shi Huaiya family, how they will choose." Dong Youwei smiled and said.

"That's for later." Chen Zhiwen paused, and then asked, "How is the hotel under construction in China?" ”

"It's going well, the speed in Shanghai is the fastest, and it is estimated that by the beginning of next year, it will be ready to open." Dong Youwei said.

"Okay, when the first batch of hotels opens, we will immediately prepare to build the second batch, I estimate that the income will not be bad, as long as there are a few months of operating data, you can directly borrow from the bank to build the second batch, which can also reduce our financial pressure." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

At present, the domestic hotel business is sure to be able to make money, but this money is a trivial matter, the main thing is to occupy the high-quality location first, now in the 80s, there is no focus on the development of various large cities, and there is not even the concept of the real estate industry, at this time, to choose the place is arbitrary, and even the local city also hopes that you choose a high-quality place.

In the country's future first, second and third tier cities to build hotels, the future is an incredible huge income, but even if the domestic labor cost and land price is low, building so many hotels is also very expensive money, plus the current Hong Kong real estate and Japanese real estate are on the rise, too much money in the mainland is obviously not cost-effective, therefore, naturally need to try to use the bank's funds, just the current China, banks began to commercialize normally, but also need loans, and have a stable return on foreign industry, is the best quality object.

"Okay, we've worked with ICBC in China several times, and I think as long as we can provide enough evidence to reduce their risk, the loan amount should be fine." Dong Youwei said again.

"Okay, that's it, pay extra attention to domestic shopping malls, if we can invest, we also need to be the first to go." Chen Zhiwen said again.

"Understood." Dong Youwei agreed.

The action against Swire is just a small game, Hong Kong's aviation, let this British-funded company control, it is indeed very unhappy for the Chinese, but before Cathay Pacific is not listed, there is indeed no way to deal with it, at most support Hong Kong Dragon, let Da Liu deal with Swire Properties, Red Bull price reduction, it is an indirect assistance, I don't know how to do it, if you can force Cathay Pacific to go public earlier, maybe things will take a turn.

For the Swire Group, the listing of Cathay Pacific may be able to avoid the problem of being targeted by the government, but at the same time, it also gives Chinese capital a certain opportunity. Of course, the specific situation depends on the future situation, and it is not easy to make a positive judgment now, you just need to set the goal in this direction and work hard.

Soon another month passed, and Chen Zhiwen welcomed some guests from the United Kingdom.

"Chen Sheng, the people from Rio Tinto have already arrived and are waiting for us in the conference room." Hutchison Building, Zhou Jiayang said after coming to Chen Zhiwen's office.

"Okay, let's go meet you." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, Rio Tinto's people suddenly came to Hong Kong to find him, which really caught him by surprise, for Rio Tinto, he didn't have any ideas, mainly because, such a company, and Hutchison, Land, Standard Chartered are completely different, you acquire, it is difficult for it to have the opportunity to become an international giant, this is not only a matter of capital ownership, but also a matter of ability, even if European and American countries turn a blind eye to Chen Zhiwen's nationality, Chen Zhiwen is not sure to build a mining giant, The advantages of the traverser did not help in this regard, and besides, he did not know how Rio Tinto developed, and it was impossible to replicate it if he knew.

So all you need to do is become a shareholder of Rio Tinto, not even the board of directors, at least for now. But the sudden visit of Rio Tinto made Chen Zhiwen understand, and he must be worried that he would attack Rio Tinto, after all, he did not hide the acquisition of Rio Tinto shares, and Standard Chartered Bank is a lesson from the past, Rio Tinto in this era is not an international mining giant, if Chen Zhiwen really makes a ruthless acquisition, at the level of European and American countries, it will not necessarily be vetoed, after all, it is just some iron ore and copper ore, and it is not an industrial bloodline such as oil and gas. At most, you can sell some sensitive special deposits, such as uranium.

In this case, Rio Tinto's management did not know Chen Zhiwen's thoughts, and was naturally worried about whether it would be suddenly acquired, and whether it could keep the company or not, its own side would also suffer heavy losses.

Soon, the two and two assistants arrived in the conference room.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhou, hello." The head of a 50-year-old blonde man is none other than Rio Tinto CEO Tom Lee. Jones.

"Hello, Mr. Jones, you may be seated." Chen Zhiwen also said politely.

Subsequently, the two sides introduced their own people around them, but it was just normal politeness, and this meeting was obviously only a matter of the leader.

After greeting for a while, Tom asked directly: "Mr. Chen, you are already a major shareholder of Rio Tinto and the most famous businessman in the world, I don't know, what are your opinions on the future development of Rio Tinto?" ”

"I have some achievements in some fields, but I don't know much about the mining field, and I invested in Rio Tinto purely because I am optimistic about the future of this market, and I will not interfere in this area." Chen Zhiwen said directly.

"But Mr. Chen has been gradually increasing his stake in Rio Tinto recently, and as far as I know, it is almost 15%, and such a high stake is always a little uneasy." Tom said again.

"Tom, maybe it's because of the different cultures in our region, in the UK or Europe, most companies don't even have a 5% shareholder, but in Asia, many companies, it's normal to have several shareholders with more than 10% of the shares, and you can arrange someone to investigate." Chen Zhiwen replied, in fact, 15% is not right, the real data is almost 22%, although the acquisition was not carried out secretly, but there are still some secret transactions that have not been announced.

"I also know this, but within our company, there is always a fear that Rio Tinto will become a second Standard Chartered." Tom said.

"Outsiders can't control people's ideas, not even the president of the United States, but I won't give up my own interests because of other people's ideas." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said: "But in the past few decades, Rio Tinto has also been annexing other companies, and it should be the same in the future, as long as you continue to annex enough companies and I invest the same funds, won't the equity become less?" ”
