Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 352 HSBC Investigation

In just a moment, Yi Weidong had already fallen asleep on the bed, Ah Zhen relaxed now, and she was ready to spend her first night, why did Yi Weidong fall asleep in a blink of an eye?Isn't this all for nothing?

He stepped forward to cover him with a blanket, hesitated for a moment, and then lay beside Yi Weidong and put his arms around Yi Weidong, showing a sweet smile.

Yi Weidong woke up early in the morning and looked at A-Zhen's eyelashes twitching non-stop, and asked softly, "Sister Zhen, did I drink too much yesterday? Why did you come back? And why are you sleeping on my bed?"

Ah Zhen, who was pretending to be asleep, opened her eyes and asked with a blushing face, "You don't remember how you got back yesterday?"

Yi Weidong patted himself on the head and said, "Yeah, I'm in a daze. I just remember drinking too much in the hotel, and I don't know how I got back."

Ah Zhen was stunned, and didn't even know about her return, so wouldn't she also forget that she was kissed by Ah Wei?Could it be that he was kissed in vain?

Seeing Ah Zhen's face suddenly changed, Yi Weidong asked, "What's the matter, Sister Zhen? Tell me, did I make a fool of yourself yesterday?"

Ah Zhen didn't know what to do, so she patiently told everything she could about Ah Wei's return home yesterday, but she was embarrassed to say that she was lost by Bidong's first kiss.

Yi Weidong was also relieved to hear that he didn't make a fool of himself. He didn't expect that even champagne could bring him down. It seems that he will strengthen his training in the future.

Ah Zhen stood up and said, "I want to hurry back before Ah Hui doesn't know."

Yi Weidong looked at A Zhen who had run away, and said strangely: "It's the second time I've stayed here to sleep, why are you still so shy?"

At the HSBC headquarters in Central, John Bao looked at the report in front of him in disbelief. Early Rain Company had an associated account with HSBC, but recently they kept transferring money to buy properties until the funds in the account were exhausted.

Ask your assistant: "Why did Qiuyu Company have no funds into the account after October?"

The assistant hesitated for a while before saying: "I checked, Mr. Yi Wei used to have an Aegean watch company, and the account was also opened in our HSBC, but it was involved in smuggling, the account was seized by the customs, and nearly [-] million funds were frozen. , Since then, Qiuyu Company and several affiliated companies have never remitted funds into their accounts.”

Although these companies have nothing to do with each other legally, Yi Weidong didn't think too much about it when he registered before. HSBC hadn't been able to check the information.

Bao Yuehan asked: "Air Rain Company is blaming us at HSBC. Could it be that we were also involved when the customs seized the account of Aegean Sea Company?"

The assistant replied: "On the day before the customs seized it, 4000 million cash was withdrawn from the account of Aegean Sea Company. The lobby manager did not allow all of it to be withdrawn due to the reason of the limit for performance reasons, resulting in more than 900 million in the account the next day. It was seized and frozen."

John Bao was surprised: "When did our bank limit withdrawals and transfers?"

"I've already dealt with that manager."

John Bao stopped talking and looked at the second analysis of the ballpoint pen. Looking at the analysis of the cost of the ballpoint pen above, the cost of the whole pen is 0.3 Hong Kong dollars and the wholesale price of more than [-] yuan for major customers, even John Bao gasped. Cool.

It can be said that Qiuyu Company can earn a profit of 30 yuan for every pen sold. Adding the estimated annual sales volume of [-] to [-] million, the annual net profit will reach about [-] billion Hong Kong dollars.

John Bao pointed to the cost of 0.3 yuan and asked, "Is this a miscalculation?"

The assistant said: "This is too much. The plastic is only 0.32 Hong Kong dollars per pound. The ballpoint pen only uses 20 grams of plastic, and the nib only uses a little steel. Then there is the cost of the ink. The cost of this ballpoint pen may not even be a cent. .”

John Bao was looking at other information about Yi Wei. He invented the ballpoint pen that everyone needs at such a young age. Even after a century of development, Jardine didn't earn 30 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Then the real estate of the affiliated company was mortgaged with the Bank of East Asia, the loan was used to buy the property, and the cash from the sale of the ballpoint pen was transferred to the securities broker to buy stocks.

What an interesting guy, the investment is really bold and radical.

The assistant asked, "Do you want to invest in Qiuyu Company?"

Bao Yuehan said with a smile: "We are a bank, and doing business is not our foundation. Besides, what is your valuation for Qiuyu Company, which has a profit of 30 billion in cash this year?"

That's right, if you invest in a company that is worth 300 billion yuan by ten times the shares, you can only get one point of shares by investing [-] million yuan. How many companies in Xiangjiang can come up with so much cash?Wouldn't it be possible to develop by drawing so much cash?

John Bao said: "We can't do nothing, you go and explain to Yi Wei what we did before, it was just a personal mistake of the lobby manager, not our attitude at HSBC, if he can do things, he will know how to do it gone."

Similar scenes appeared in many companies, which allowed Feng Bingfen to introduce Yi Weidong to various big shots. Of course, he had to investigate it, but the channels were different, and the results received by each company were different.

Yi Weidong didn't know how many, so he called Ruan Tao when he came to the company, first asked about what happened last night, Ruan Tao suppressed a smile and told about the drunkenness, and then asked: "Is this what you are looking for? thing?"

Yi Weidong said: "I think since the ballpoint pens have opened up the market, we should make these five brands the strongest."

Ruan Tao was stunned, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Re-registering these five brands as an independent company, we not only produce ballpoint pens, but also produce and sell pens, pencils, notebooks, stationery, etc."

Ruan Tao was so angry that she wanted to throw the documents in Yi Weidong's face. She felt sorry for Yi Weidong yesterday, but now she is so angry that she said: "Then quickly change the general manager, and see how many things I have now. , two department stores, the production and sale of ballpoint pens, the acquisition of used machines, the purchase of industrial buildings, which one of these items is not my responsibility?"

Yi Weidong said awkwardly: "Then register the five companies first, and then you can acquire related commercial firms and carry out reorganization. This is a long-term policy, and it will be gradually improved in the future."

With the brand effect of ballpoint pens, as long as the quality is similar to other products, the market can be opened slowly. The subsequent 70s and 80s were rapid development periods. There are no big brands in the stationery market in Xiangjiang. As long as the business is good, it can quickly Occupy the low-end global market.

Removed the previous two former famous brands and replaced them with Chenxi and Shengli brands.

Ruan Tao thought about it and said: "It's too simple for us to only make ballpoint pen products, but now there are too many things, I can't be too busy."

Yi Weidong smiled and said: "It's easy to do, just recruit people and don't develop from scratch. The relevant factories and commercial firms can be purchased to retain personnel, as long as they are replaced by our brand."

Yi Weidong is now making money every day, and it is also possible to buy related brands now, and it is not necessary to only use his own brand.

Ruan Tao asked: "You mean to buy the company?"

"This is the fastest way. We didn't have funds for acquisitions before, but now we have no shortage of funds. We first collect information to find acquisition targets, and we want to form a full-category company of stationery to occupy the market in the student and office fields."

Yi Weidong knows that real estate makes money, but now it’s still dominated by foreigners, and it’s not worthwhile to venture in. It’s like the story of the Chinese Walk, because at the beginning, there were Chinese living in the office, and the foreigners in the building protested one after another, and finally they all quit the lease. People, the whole building is rented by Chinese people, and the foreigners have finished walking, so this building is called Chinese House.

Yi Weidong would rather buy a building directly in the market than buy land to build a house now, because there are too many involved in the middle, which is different from Lou Tongfu who just cooperated to build a village house in a remote countryside.

Ruan Tao said: "It's not bad to gain a foothold in the stationery market. This market is smaller, and it's okay to occupy most of the market share."

Such a niche market is actually quite profitable. With Xiangjiang as the base, it can occupy the global market, and it is easy to succeed without being conspicuous.

Ruan Tao handed the document to Yi Weidong and said, "This is the promotional plan that E-buy made when it opened. Can you see if there is anything you need to modify?"

The e-buy department store is about to complete the final preparations, and it will open soon. Manager Ping and Fu Yingtong sent over the promotion plan first.

There is no problem with the overall plan, but it is a bit stingy. Yi Weidong said: "Change the minimum lottery from 30 yuan to 19.8 yuan, and don't leave some empty prizes. The minimum is one of our ballpoint pens. Let everyone No one can fail. The highest prize is replaced by a color TV, we can't be stingy."

It is understandable to replace the lowest empty prize with a ballpoint pen Ruan Tao. The cost of a ballpoint pen is not high, so it is suitable as a prize. He asked:
"Wouldn't it be nice to get a color TV for the top prize? Black and white would be great."

Yi Weidong smiled and said: "We just want to gain popularity, and the time of this day is too short, it's just three days, usually there are some special offers every day, and promotions are held on various festivals, The interval between two activities cannot exceed two months, and if there is no name, just make up an excuse."

A shopping mall needs to have frequent sales promotions, combined with small activities on weekdays, to give people a sense of freshness, and it will be fine when the surrounding people get used to coming to buy things.

Just after discussing the promotion, Luo Caijing knocked on the door and came in, "Mr. Ren from HSBC, please see me."

Both Yi Weidong and Ruan Tao were very surprised. They did not expect that people from HSBC would come to their door so quickly. It is really extraordinary that HSBC can be the number one in Hong Kong.

Ruan Tao smiled and said, "Then I'll come back later."

Ruan Tao went out first, and Yi Weidong ushered the visitors in. After the guests and hosts sat down, Assistant Ren said, "Mr. Yi, we at HSBC intend to order a batch of ballpoint pens as gifts for customers."

Just kidding, how could HSBC come to apologize, as long as it comes to express goodwill, it is not the style of the Central Bank of Xiangjiang to pull down and apologize to businessmen.

What's more, if you really want to order a ballpoint pen, you don't need an assistant to come, just a random person from the purchasing department of HSBC, or even a phone call.

Yi Weidong knew the elegance when he heard the strings, this was HSBC's expression of goodwill, and he said with a smile: "This is a trivial matter. Since Mr. Ren came here, I will have the audacity to beg for mercy. A company under my name has several houses. I hope it can be settled." Mortgage loan at your bank."

Doing business in Xiangjiang can't bypass HSBC Bank, and I just looked uncomfortable before, but now that Vice Chairman Bao's assistants have all come to the door, of course Yi Weidong has to give enough face, if this is not going down the steps, Yi Weidong will also No more business.

Assistant Ren said with a smile: "It's easy to say, as long as you prepare the materials, go directly to the loan department. Qiuyu Company is already our VIP customer, and the loan is of course a green light all the way."

Both parties got satisfactory results, chatted for a while, Assistant Ren asked:
"A friend asked me to ask, whether Qiuyu Company accepts shares?"

I didn't want to ask at first, but someone still inquired about Yi Weidong's company's deposits, so I asked by the way.

Yi Weidong said with a smile: "In principle, I can accept buying or exchanging shares, but the premise is that the valuation of the company must be objective and fair."

If there is no correct valuation, Yi Weidong will not release the shares. They are all successful and famous people, so they can't buy shares with a gun pointed at Yi Weidong's head, right?

If someone who doesn't open his eyes really comes to him, Yi Weidong has plenty of ways to deal with him.

At this time, the major foreign firms hadn’t developed yet, but Yi Weidong didn’t suffer from the exchange of shares. Anyway, Qiuyu Company only had ballpoint pens, and Yi Weidong didn’t bring out many inventions. It was easy to just want to make money.

Assistant Ren smiled and said: "Of course, the premise of cooperation is of course that no one can suffer, so that's it for today, and I will leave."

"I will send you."

Yi Weidong sent Assistant Ren out of the elevator, and Ruan Tao came back to the office together, and asked, "What do you say?"

Yi Weidong explained the purpose of being an assistant, and Ruan Tao asked, "You really guessed right, someone planned to take a stake in Qiuyu Company, why did you just agree?"

Yi Weidong smiled and said: "Is it okay if you don't agree? I think it's open, money is endless, if you exchange shares, you will have friends, and you can cooperate in the development of real estate projects. Otherwise, I don't have the confidence to get involved real estate development business."

Why did Li Chaoren of later generations rise rapidly in Xiangjiang?It is because I know how to make friends, and everyone who has money can earn money together. The more friends I have, the more I earn. Only when I have a good network in the business circle of Xiangjiang can everything go smoothly.

Ruan Tao said: "These development directions are up to you to decide. I don't have the ability to advise you."

Yi Weidong said: "This is just a question from Assistant Ren. It's still early. By the way, I will go to HSBC for the next loan. In the future, I will deposit some money in the HSBC account."

These are all intended meanings, and we must always show an attitude so that HSBC has nothing to say.

Ruan Tao said: "I have to go to the e-buy mall in the afternoon, you can't shirk it anymore."

In the afternoon, Yi Weidong and Ruan Tao came to the e-buy department store for inspection. The simple decoration style, the young and beautiful girl under the fluorescent lights was wearing a uniform skirt, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

Now the goods are basically finished, only a small number of counters are busy with goods.

Yi Weidong asked: "Now wait for the training to be completed and just wait for the opening?"

Manager Ping Lezhang said: "The training has been completed, and we only need to wait for the auspicious time to open in five days."

There are still five days before the opening, and everything is ready, and a day's delay is a waste of money!

Yi Weidong asked: "Then can we have a trial operation?"

"Trial opening?"

Yi Weidong said: "Open the door directly to do business, instead of holding an opening ceremony, first check whether there is any problem with the mall as a whole, and if you find any minor problems, you can correct them in time."

Ping Lezhang thought about it and said, "Alright, I'll hold a meeting with the salesperson in the afternoon, and open the door for business tomorrow."

Yibu Department Store is an attempt by Yi Weidong to enter the department store retail market. If possible, buy real estate in various communities to form a department store chain group.

In the evening, when Feng Haining came home from school, she was called into the study by her father. Seeing that her uncle Feng Bingfen was there, she greeted her obediently and asked curiously:
"Uncle, Dad, what can you do with me?"

Feng Bingfen asked: "The photo of the Li family introduced a boy to you?"

Hearing this, Feng Haining knew that Li Fuzhao had introduced the person to her privately, otherwise her uncle wouldn't be asking her this question now.

Feng Haining directly complained first: "I said that Uncle Fuzhao is unreliable, and that it was you who introduced him to me. Xiangjiang doesn't have a family with the surname Yi. If you don't go to school at such a young age, what can you do?"
