I haven't been a boss for many years

Chapter 437 New World Development

Zhang Guobin sat in a guest seat on the right side, picked up the teacup, lowered his head and blew the tea soup, and asked: "Mr. Zheng is a senior in the business world. He invited me to chat. Do you have any advice?"

Zheng Yutong had a straight belly and a straight waist, and said with a smile, "It's not really advice, but I just heard that Mr. Zhang has entered the jewelry industry. I didn't want to say hello, so I asked Mr. Zhang to talk about the jewelry industry."

Zhang Guobin and Zheng Yutong have never had a business relationship, so they didn't hide at all before going to the appointment, they directly picked up the topic and asked each other, and Zheng Yutong also spoke frankly.

Zhang Guobin showed an ignorant look, and said modestly: "Mr. Zheng, how can my small jewelry stores compare with Mr. Zheng's big group?"

"If Mr. Zheng's group needs to cooperate in any commercial deployment, please tell Mr. Zheng, and I, Abin, will do my best to help."

Zheng Yutong smiled innocently on his square cheeks, drinking tea and said: "This matter is my fault, I haven't said hello to Mr. Zhang, I originally opened a gold shop according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, and I have to pay a sum to the local society every month , some associations simply take dry shares.”

"I used to chat with Mr. Chai in Yau Tsim Mong's territory. He and Yihai have always been brothers and sisters. But since Mr. Zhang took over, the brothers under him have not arranged for Mr. Zhang's share."

"I first apologize to Mr. Zhang."

Zheng Yutong raised his cup and drank all the tea, replacing wine with tea.

Zhang Guobin remembered one thing and said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng was joking. I remember that someone came to talk to Yihai. I was the one who refused the protection fees from various gold shops."

The amount of this protection fee is actually not that big, at most it is two or three times that of a nightclub, and the Xiangjiang Nightclub has no rules for collecting protection fees for a long time.

Either a self-operated bar or nightclub, or a joint venture or hosting model, the brothers start working to make money and pump water, and treat it as their own venue.

Grocery stores, clothing stores, and regular shops do not charge protection fees, while horse stables and underground gambling stalls are exclusive.

Zhang Guobin directly rejected Chow Tai Fook's protection fee at that time. Later, it was more reasonable and compliant to make Millennium Jewelry. Chow Tai Fook had no chance to negotiate.

No wonder, Chow Tai Fook would be hostile to Millennium Jewelry. He probably thought that he was planning to enter the jewelry industry as soon as he took office. However, theoretically speaking, Chow Tai Fook Group’s judgment was correct. It is determined to turn to the real business. The jewelry industry is only an extension of the real business, but its potential is indeed among the top five industries in the group.

This protection fee is a source of income for small associations, but it is no longer a source of income for He Yihai. There are only a few gold shops in each district, and the dry shares taken by large associations are only one or two stocks per shop. It's just a little bit, if you take it, you'll eat people's mouths and tell you to do dirty work, so how can you argue with others?
Otherwise, I really think that the dry stocks of the four major families are easy to get!

After drinking tea, Mr. Zheng said: "Mr. Zhang is a person with business ambitions, and he will not be tempted by petty profits. I respect Mr. Zhang's ideals very much, but etiquette comes down to etiquette. It is my fault that etiquette is not in place. .”

"I hope Mr. Zhang doesn't mind." Zheng Yutong's eyes are piercing. He is in the middle of his ears, but he is well-maintained and full of energy. Among all the tycoons on Hong Kong Island that Zhang Guobin has come into contact with, Zheng Daheng is the one with the lowest education. , only elementary school education, but his ancestors were silk merchants in Guangzhou, his father-in-law was a gold merchant, and Chow Tai Fook inherited the property from his father-in-law.

His quack habits are far more serious than Mr. Hu, Mr. Huo and others. He speaks the rules of the quagmire, and Zhang Guobin is a little embarrassed. He raised his glass and said: "Mr. There seems to be a little misunderstanding, I offer you a cup of tea, and a cup of tea will relieve all grievances."

"Okay!" Zheng Yutong clapped his hands and laughed, and said in Cantonese: "Tea can soothe the hangover and the hatred, Mr. Zhang, I admire you!"

In fact, he was not sure whether the Central Gold Shop case had anything to do with He Yihai, but he couldn't find a relationship based on the evidence alone, but after a wave of idealistic analysis, the relationship with He Yihai could be seen everywhere.

On the bright side, the big circle gang pushes more and more like a shield. Of course, the shield itself has no loss, and can even gain invisible benefits, because Millennium Jewelry also cooperates with the big circle gang.

Zheng Yutong then decided to treat it as if he didn't have it, and treat it as if he didn't have it. It is more important to take care of the relationship with Millennium Jewelry than to study the inside story of the robbery.

Zheng Yutong has not really won the reputation of the four major families at present, because Zheng Yutong has not yet established the "New World Bus Company", has not yet established the "New World Ferry Company", and has not yet obtained the shares of the "Macau Tourism and Entertainment Company". Did not get Macau water company, electricity company... A capital group that can enter the four major families is far from being supported by a single industry. It is undeniable that Chow Tai Fook is currently the largest company under Zheng Yutong, but Zheng Yutong has long been a well-known real estate developer in Hong Kong , entered the real estate industry in 58 years, and established "New World Development" to dominate the jewelry industry in Xiangjiang, holding [-]% of the shares, sweeping the people's livelihood industries in the Liangjiang area.

However, Zhang Guobin, a business tycoon who has sprung up all of a sudden, has already taken the lead in acquiring "ATV" which is controlled by New World Planning, and relying on the success of the jade mine in Xiangjiang, he has already begun to steal the business share of New World Development.

Zheng Yutong simply revealed the intention in his heart: "It's presumptuous to say something, but I want to ask, has Mr. Zhang considered joining New World Development?"

"New World Development is a company that I co-founded with several jewelry industry bosses. It has a history of fifteen years."

"I have heard about the development of New World for a long time." Zhang Guobin sighed, "New World invested in the Regent Hotel three years ago, and the New World Center is well-known."

The Regent Hotel is currently the only large hotel in Hong Kong that can rival the Peninsula Hotel, and it will be acquired by the InterContinental Group in the future, which is the InterContinental Tsim Sha Tsui Hotel.

New World Center is currently the largest commercial center on the Kowloon Peninsula. In the future, New World Development will control the bus routes in Hong Kong. In contrast, the New World Center built in the mainland is a small business. Xiangjiang Bus and Macau’s gambling industry are Big business.

The National Hotel invested by Hu Yingxiang in Guangzhou has investment from New World Development.

Zhang Guobin really didn't expect that Zheng Yutong would invite him to join New World Development, but when he thought that New World Development itself was a "jewelry industry association", it seemed reasonable to invite him to join with millennium jewelry.

"In commercial operations, it is normal to exchange shares and establish a joint company. The key is the pros and cons." Zhang Guobin knows that the "Four Families" will be all-powerful chaebols in the future. When "Hua Li" is in the ring, it seems to be a good choice to rely on "Golden Zheng", one of the four major families.

Facing the bus, Macau Gaming shares had to join New World Development, and he immediately agreed: "I can bring Millennium Jewelry to join New World Development Group, but Guobin Construction and Guobin Real Estate, sorry, cannot spin off Yihai Group for the time being."

"Mr. Zhang, I understand." Zheng Yutong nodded slightly and stretched out a thick palm: "Cooperation is not annexation, and I respect your choice."

"I will ask a third-party company to evaluate the market value of Millennium Jewelry, and then convert it into shares to join New World Development. Millennium Jewelry will still be operated and managed by Mr. Zhang's group."

Zhang Guobin held Boss Zheng's hand and said with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Zheng, for your invitation. We will come out and play together when we have time."

"I have the right to supply five emerald mines in northern Myanmar, which can be directly supplied to all the employees of New World Development."

Zheng Yutong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Hehe, no wonder Mr. Zhang's jade quality and price are top choices. It turns out that there is a trump card hidden. It seems that Mr. Zhang has to count a little more shares."

The right to supply jadeite mines has monopoly value just like diamond patents. Zhang Guobin promised to directly supply jadeite mines to various jewelers, which naturally has to be converted into a part of New World's equity.

Zhang Guobin only gave up the Xiangjiang thousand-year-old jewelry brand, and the Jade City in the Mainland and the jadeite mine in northern Myanmar are still in his hands, which can be regarded as a very beneficial cooperation.

Zheng Yutong won the Millennium Jewelry and continued to restore the monopoly in the jewelry industry. Naturally, there is no loss. The third-party company calculated the market value of the Millennium Jewelry at [-] million, and exchanged it for a total of [-]% of New World's shares. New World made a small wave Equity dilution, each shareholder has recalculated the equity.

When Zhang Guobin signed documents with Zheng Yutong in Xiangjiang, went through the formalities, and joined New World Development, Hutchison Group learned the fact that Yihai Group was planning to acquire 711.

Li Jiacheng read the minutes of the meeting between Yihai Group and 711, and he was uncontrollably moved on his calm face, and said sternly: "The commercial ambition of Yihai Group is obvious, and the purpose of acquiring 711 is to expand the cash pool. Once the cash pool expands, the trend of real estate development in the future will be very rapid.”

Sitting next to the sofa, Hutchison CEO Li Chaxin clasped his hands together, and said solemnly: "The chain industry market in Xiangjiang is limited. Once 711 expands in Xiangjiang, it will immediately squeeze out Watsons' share."

There is a slight difference in the categories of goods sold by the two companies, but in fact, the business model is exactly the same, but in any city with a large 711 chain, Watsons' share will definitely be squeezed.

Li Jiacheng said solemnly: "We must lock He Yihai's strategic pace while we still have the advantage, and immediately send people to North America to negotiate with Southern Company, and He Huang also wants to acquire 711!"

In Boss Li's view, He Yihai's development method is a blatant plagiarism, plagiarizing him, Huang and Changshi, but how can the business model be called plagiarism?

They are all left over from the ancients hundreds of years ago, and they just changed batches after batches, but Li Chaxin said worriedly: "Boss, the group has to repay a bank debt of [-] million Hong Kong dollars in the middle of the year. , further takeover battles at this stage could lead to debt defaults.”

Li Jiacheng pondered: "Although Mr. Edward has passed away, the relationship with the Governor of Hong Kong is still there. We can chat with the Governor of Hong Kong."

"Let the governor of Hong Kong support us to extend the period." That is, to extend the repayment period. As the governor of Hong Kong, it is not difficult to talk to HSBC, right?
