Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 425 Talk
Peng Lizhi asked: "Is there any way we can limit the development of Qiuyu Group?"

The skin is different, not to mention that he is not a native of Xiangjiang. Of course, the ID card he received in Tsuen Wan must have come from the opposite bank. Such people earn less and can be ignored, but now they earn more than anyone else. How can those who tolerate the continued development of the Qiuyu Group!

Bao Yuehan said: "That's why we sat together to discuss today. There are so many troubles in the face, what should we do?"

The core of Qiuyu Group is patented technology. It is not yet the future International Patent Union. The inventors of patents apply for patents independently from country to country. Affected, don't look at all of them are calling the shots in Xiangjiang, but back in London, they can't even be regarded as second-rate families.

Qi Dezun said: "Although the Autumn Rain Group has other companies as its name, it doesn't even have a board of directors. It can be said that Yi Wei can make all the decisions. There is nothing we can do about the company's equity."

Michael Kadoorie said: "It's too strange that such a big company is not listed, and many methods are useless."

"Yeah, such a big company can't go public."

"How about we let him go public?"

Niu Bijian said: "Even if the Autumn Rain Group is listed, he may only list a part of it. Besides, if it is listed, how much will the market value of the Autumn Rain Group be?"

If the profit is 30 billion, the market value of Qiuyu Group can reach 300 billion with a price-earnings ratio of ten times, which is more than the five major foreign companies combined. Will Xiangjiang still be dominated by British capital?
Bao Yuehan said: "Everyone, is it so difficult to suppress the Qiuyu Group?"

Everyone looked at each other and nodded involuntarily. It is so difficult to suppress the Qiuyu Group, even if the Qiuyu Group is shut down, so what?As long as the people are still there, they can make a comeback in another place. At that time, there is no way at all. At most, the products will not be sold in Xiangjiang.

Qi Dezun said tentatively: "How about we let him join us?"

Niu Bijian objected: "The size of the Qiuyu Group is too large. If he buys our company in the stock market, we have nothing to do."

Due to the multiple expansions in the history of the company, the family's controlling stake is not much, and it has already been less than one-third. If the Qiuyu Group initiates an acquisition, the company will change hands.

Qi Dezun said: "It seems that if you don't join us, you can't initiate an acquisition. After a little research, Yisheng has shares in more than 2000 companies, but there are not many of them, and the largest one is not [-] million. "

Although Weidong tried his best to keep a low profile to buy, but for these people, as long as they check the data, they can find the data. It's just that Weidong doesn't buy many stocks, not even 5%, so they have been living in peace. .

Some people know that some people really don't pay attention to Weidong's actions in the stock market. Such a calculation is shocking. The stocks of more than 30 listed companies cost more than 2 million in cash!
What is this for?Are you waiting to initiate an acquisition in the future?
John Bao from HSBC rubbed his temples, he really had a headache, why isn't he from Sunset Country?
Niu Bijian, the chairman of Jardine Matheson, said: "Everyone think about it, if we deal with Qiuyu Group, whether we suppress or win over, this will affect the future of our British capital."

Facing the Qiuyu Group, which has such a strong ability to make money, everyone is very troubled. It is very difficult to suppress, but it is not good to be pulled into this circle. The skin color is different, so how can they be single-minded!

As Qi Dezun said, the Qiuyu Group holds a huge amount of cash, and if it is not invested in real estate, it must be invested in the stock market. The first thing anyone considers is to acquire some British-funded properties. How many can be left?
Bao Yuehan said: "Tomorrow I will talk to Yisheng and see what he has to say."

The interview must be to talk about political leanings and views on British capital. It would be best if we could try to stand on the side of British capital.

Although there was no result after talking for a long time, everyone knew that the development of Qiuyu Group was already unstoppable. It failed to stop the development of the ballpoint pen industry last year, and of course it cannot stop the next development now.

Weidong didn't have these worries. He read the newspaper leisurely all morning, and after lunch, he said to Mi Xiaozhou, "Go and call Virginia over. My shoulders are a little sore. Let her give me a press."

Mi Xiaozhou pouted and went out. After a while, Virginia came in with an ignorant look, and called softly, "Boss, are you looking for me?"

Weidong nodded, got up and closed two doors, pulled Virginia into the lounge, and said with a smile, "Come, let me give you a massage."

Virginia wondered: "Didn't Sister Xiaozhou say, Boss, do you want to massage your shoulders?"

Weidong smiled and took off his white shirt, and began to massage Virginia.
Virginia was not stupid, she immediately understood Weidong's intentions, it turned out that it was okay to do this during the day, Mi Xiaozhou called her over, and she must have had a good time with the boss before.

It turns out that I can have fun with the boss at noon, but the boss works so hard day and night, can the body bear it?

Taking time out of breath, he asked, "Boss, I know a few formulas of medicinal wine, how about I get you a barrel of medicinal wine?"

When Wei Dong heard this, he immediately blew up. This is because he doubted his fighting power. Do I look vain?It is a great insult to any man.

Just hit Virginia's little PP twice, adjust her posture, and start punishing Virginia.

At work in the afternoon, Mi Xiaozhou hadn’t seen Virginia coming out, so he brought tea to Weidong and asked, “Boss, why didn’t Virginia go to work?”

Wei Dongdao: "Tell Manager Ruan that Virginia has an upset stomach and won't go to work in the afternoon."

Mi Xiaozhou pursed his lips, thinking that his stomach was uncomfortable, and he had eaten well at noon?Why did my stomach hurt in the blink of an eye?
Stepping on high-heeled shoes, he turned around and entered Weidong's exclusive lounge. Seeing Virginia clutching her stomach and leaning on the side of the bed, she deliberately didn't mention the stomachache, and asked, "Virginia, what's wrong with you?"

Virginia frowned, and said embarrassedly: "When I was serving the boss at noon, I made the boss unhappy, and then the boss used too much strength, and I was a little injured."

Virginia is also stubborn, she can't imitate the smoothness of the Chinese, she can say whatever she wants,
Mi Xiaozhou smiled when he heard the words, and the boss said that his stomach hurts, and Virginia told the truth in a blink of an eye, but he was just curious that Virginia made the boss unhappy.

"How did you mess with the boss?"

Virginia asked suspiciously: "I am concerned about the boss's health, and I wanted to get him some medicinal wine, but the boss started beating me, what did I do wrong?"

Mi Xiaozhou asked with a smile: "How come you still don't know what's wrong?"

Virginia shook her head and said pitifully, "I know the boss is angry, but I just don't know why."

"You, let me tell you what's good about you?"

He went forward and hugged Virginia and explained in a low voice, how could the boss need to drink medicinal wine when he was so young and lively every day? Isn't this looking down on the boss?Virginia deserved to be taught a lesson.

In the afternoon, Weidong and Ruan Tao brought their secretary to Taikoo Dockyard on the side of Quarry Bay. This was the first time they entered the company's site. Warehousing, Sheridan is responsible for ship construction and maintenance, and a series of auxiliary processing and manufacturing workshops, mainly for various auxiliary parts required on gurneys, and large parts such as engines and oars can also be produced by themselves.The last one is the vice president of Austin, who is responsible for the affairs of a fleet of the company.

The main business of Taikoo Dockyard Company is mainly in these three directions, each of the three people is in charge of one direction, and there is a big class on top to lead the overall situation. Before that, people from the Swaria family have always been in charge.

After the meeting, the three of them took a tour of the facilities of the Taikoo Dockyard, from the pier to the dock, the manufacturing workshop, and the warehouse, but the ships were all sailing on the sea, and they could not be seen now.

In the Taipan's office, Wei Dong and Ruan Tao listened to the three people's reports, and then talked separately,
Sheridan came from a technical background and was good at managing shipbuilding. She had no idea or ability to control this company, so she was ruled out first.

Austin is in charge of the fleet trade and has been a captain for many years. Now he is over 50 years old and has no interest in being a taipan, nor does he have the energy to manage the company.

The last person to talk was Margery. He was in the prime of life in his 40s. He graduated from the Maritime Academy in London. After graduation, he entered the Taikoo Dockyard. He also worked as a captain and was later promoted to manage warehouses and docks. vice president.

After the talk, when Margery went out, Weidong asked, "What do you think of the three?"

Ruan Tao said: "Obviously neither Sheridan nor Austin can do it. Is it too hasty to decide to let Majerry be the big class just after talking like this?"

Wei Dong said: "Then what should I do? Look outside?"

Ruan Tao thought for a while and said, "Let me take the concurrent role first, and wait for a while to observe. The business of Taikoo Dockyard is very simple, and it is based on ships and docks. As long as it is straightened out, it will be easy to take over."

Wei Dongdao: "I promoted Yan Li because I didn't want you to work too hard. Besides, you still have to prepare for pregnancy. There is another ancient shipyard here. Will it tire you!"

Ruan Tao was a little shy: "I'm talking about business with you, what about pregnancy preparation!"

He glared at Weidong and continued, "I'll talk to my assistant to see who will come over to take charge of the daily work. After a period of time, see who is suitable, and then promote a big class to take over."

Although the three vice-deputies in Taikoo Dockyard are all foreigners, most of the other department managers are Chinese. I have seen them all just now, but I don’t know who has what ability. I will observe slowly in the future, and maybe they can be promoted from within Taikoo Dockyard.

Wei Dong asked: "Have you made up your mind to take over the business of Taikoo Dockyard?"

Ruan Tao smiled and said, "I'm not pregnant yet? Even if I am pregnant, I can still work for a few more months!"

Wei Dong thinks about it too, there is a buffer period of several months, it is still very easy to find a suitable senior class, but Ruan Tao said that he is not pregnant, is this reminding himself that he has worked too little and the field has not yet grown? Dealer?
Ruan Tao first served as the senior class for a period of time, and solved the recent management problems. Ruan Tao took care of the rest. In the afternoon, financial personnel came to check the accounts and take over the financial work. Working for the Autumn Rain Group.

The next day Weidong received a call from John Bao and came to the office of John Bao of HSBC.

After exchanging pleasantries, John Bao said: "Yi Sheng, congratulations on buying Taikoo Dockyard. This is a shipyard established in 1883, with a history of more than 80 years."

Wei Dong laughed and said, "But the price I paid was not cheap at all."

Wei Dong couldn't help complaining, what's the point of buying at a premium price, and it wasn't a bargain-hunting deal. The [-] million real money was spent, and the Shi Huaiya family could wake up from their dreams with laughter.

But after ten years, it's time for Weidong to wake up with a smile. Although the time is a bit long, the winner in life is the one who laughs at the end.

Bao Yuehan smiled, and no one would suffer from this business deal. Swire Pacific holds cash and some land in Central, and can advance and retreat or defend, and its future development will be much more flexible.

Weidong's Qiuyu Group has received the wharf shipyard and fleet, and directly entered the shipbuilding industry, shipping industry, and wharf storage industry. The most important thing is the huge land under the Taikoo Dockyard, which is enough to develop a land reserve for ten years. up.

"Yi Sheng, there are a lot of businesses that can't be entered with money, and it's appropriate to spend more money."

Wei Dongdao: "Thank you for your good words, I don't know when I can earn this premium."

Money is valuable now, and this kind of entrepot trade earns hard money, which is disrespectful to Yi Weidong. It involves a lot of energy, and the profit is not much. It is a dispensable business.

John Bao stopped chatting and asked, "What do you think about Xiangjiang's current situation?"

Only then did Weidong know the purpose of asking him to come today. This is because the development of the Qiuyu Group threatens the rule of foreign firms. Now he wants to ask Weidong his opinion on the authorities. It is impossible to be on the side, but it is still early, and it is not advisable to stand on the side of the mainland too early, just like the Huo family has been suppressed by the authorities after being labeled, and the Huo family cannot do many businesses.

"I'm just a businessman. I'm not interested in politics. I just want to study some interesting things and earn more money to live my life."

That's what Wei Dong thinks, anyway, let's not get involved in the above things, and concentrate on development first, and accumulate family wealth first, after all, there are several women to support, so the pressure is great!

Bao Yuehan said: "Your idea is very naive. If you don't have a stand, the future development path will be narrow."

Bao Yuehan still wanted to win over Weidong, and before he was 20 years old, he had earned more money than a foreign firm's decades of hard work. Such a genius would be great after a few years of development.

Wei Dong shook his head and said, "My skin color determines that even if I stand in the past, there is no benefit. Why should I get involved? Why don't I bury my head in research and get more patents."

Weidong’s path is different from that of foreign firms. Foreign firms rely on Hong Kong’s free port policy and like to do entrepot trade to earn the difference. Weidong didn’t want to compete with foreign firms before, so he took the road of research and development. After all, there are many items that are common in later generations. There are none now, and you can make money by taking out a few samples, so why bother to do trade.

Bao Yuehan smacked his lips, yes, he is already so rich, can he stand up and be a younger brother?Besides, what if you really stand up and want to fight against customers?
"Yi Sheng, the Xiangjiang River is only this big, if this is the case, your road will be difficult!"

Weidong smiled. Although he put his production base in Xiangjiang, it’s not impossible to move it away. At worst, he just needs to close some factories. With Qin Zhengtai’s relationship, he can go to Wanwan, or to the beautiful Guojian chip production line. Not bad, the talent over there is more suitable for chip production.

"The road is not easy to travel, so just change to another place. Xiangjiang is not easy to travel because of the lack of land. I think Los Angeles should welcome me to invest!"

The assets of the Autumn Rain Group are mainly industrial buildings, and two similar office buildings of the Autumn Rain Bank. Even if they are sold, they are easy to sell. These foreign firms can't blatantly confiscate the building, so it won't scare all the businessmen!
If that's the case, the free port of Xiangjiang is a good joke.
