Rebirth: The Era of Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 300 [Reserve food]

When he came to the conference room, Lin Rongheng first pointed out: "Mr. Dyson, if I guessed correctly, this product is not doing well in Europe!"

James Dyson nodded, not concealing it, this is a fact that the other party can find out.

"That's right! But I don't think it's my product's problem!"

The engineer's honeyed self-confidence can be seen at a glance.

Lin Rongheng said: "I know! So I decided to invest in Dyson, investing in a European factory and a research and development center for Dyson!"

James Dyson was taken aback. This condition is very attractive, but it is by no means that good, because it may mean that his equity will be greatly diluted.

"I won't sell too much equity. I believe that with the company's patents, I will also get us out of the current difficulties!" James Dyson said. What he values ​​most is patents, so he believes that sooner or later his patents will be acquired. If other companies use it, then they must defend their own rights and collect patent fees.

Lin Rongheng said seriously: "Mr. Dyson, this is only your first product invention. Don't you want to spare more time to invent new products? If you let your company develop slowly, you may be able to develop new products in this product. It took ten years to promote it, and I believe this kind of waste is fatal for engineers."

James Dyson remained silent, considering the gains and losses in the process, and asked for a long time: "How much money does Mr. Lin plan to invest and how many shares do he need?"

This project was initiated by Lin Rongheng. The family office participated in the investigation, and Lin Rongheng already knew about the funds needed to build the factory in Europe.As for the share requirements, the investors in the family office are more ruthless, but Lin Rongheng doesn't want that. James Dyson deserves a better investment.

Lin Rongheng said seriously: "For 600 million pounds, I only need 35% of the shares! Moreover, I have a plan that will allow Dyson vacuum cleaners to quickly occupy the world's high-end vacuum cleaner market."

James Dyson was surprised, the condition was very generous.

The next thing is simple, but after signing the contract, James Dyson couldn't wait to ask Lin Rongheng how to promote.

Lin Rongheng said confidently: "Mr. Dyson, it's very simple. This product must be very popular in Japan. We can cooperate with Japanese companies to promote this product in Japan. At the same time, our European factories and R&D The center also needs to be carried out at the same time. After the promotion in Japan, we can do global promotion. We will take the initiative to advertise on TV, not by asking celebrities to advertise, but by explaining the structure and advanced functions of this dust collector.”

When James Dyson heard the words, he thought about it, and the more he thought about it for a long time, the more he felt that it was reasonable. The main reason was that he was infected by Lin Rongheng's self-confidence, and of course he was also confident in his own products.

In this way, the cooperation between the two parties was very pleasant. Lin Rongheng even proposed that Xiaomi could cooperate with Dyson in the future to be responsible for the markets in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.

This is exactly what James Dyson hoped. From the very beginning, he hoped to use the channel of Xiaomi Electronics to sell his products.

Lin Rongheng also left Dyson with satisfaction. This is a long-term investment, and the future return will be thousands of times.

The European itinerary lasted about a week, and Lin Rongheng basically took Monica with him, of course, to go outside the family office; when it was time to return to Hong Kong, Monica pestered Lin Rongheng to go to Hong Kong for a while, Lin Rongheng was happy He agreed, but also told her that he was very busy with work and would not accompany her every day, but would arrange someone to accompany her.

On the private plane, Monica was worthy of being a woman of nature, and she frequently seduced Lin Rongheng. As a result, the two of them had an exchange on the plane that lasted more than an hour. Fortunately, there was a door to separate the sofa area into a bedroom.

But even so, when Lin Rongheng came out, the expressions of the four stewardesses changed.

A bold Japanese flight attendant even said: "Boss, you are a real man!" After speaking, her eyes were provocative, full of hints.

At this time, Monica stepped forward and hugged Lin Rongheng's arm, and hit the stewardess mercilessly: "A strong man likes me, you are too small!"

The stewardess was a little unconvinced. In her opinion, Monica was just an outsider. She had served several of the boss's wives, but she was the boss's woman after all, so she didn't dare to refute.

Lin Rongheng was the peacemaker and said: "Go and prepare a rich meal, we are very hungry."

Monica looked at the four busy stewardesses and asked suspiciously, "Have you ever had sex with them?"

Lin Rongheng shook his head, and whispered in her ear: "I like 'big' beauties like you!"

Monica straightened her waist, moved Lin Rongheng's hand to her hip, and said proudly: "If you have fewer women, I don't mind that I belong to you forever!"

Lin Rongheng said an unfathomable sentence: "I will always do things within my ability, don't forget, every time you are begging for mercy!"

Time passed by, and it was September in a blink of an eye.

Due to the exaggeration of the media, Xiangjiang's confidence crisis became more and more serious, and capitalism became a wave.Lin Rongheng and Evergrande's 200 billion Hong Kong dollars did not play much role in this real estate slump.

Many people know that Lin Rongheng and Evergrande are hunting down real estate, and there are very few real estate developers who joined, but everyone thinks this behavior is crazy.Many middle-class and high-class people have sold their assets and planned to immigrate abroad.

Lin Rongheng couldn't help sighing that this was really his own paradise. At this time, Lin Rongheng was no longer limited to commercial buildings, commercial land, and high-end residential buildings, and he even bought a lot of prosperous shops.

It is estimated that by the end of 1984, the total value of the properties owned by Evergrande Real Estate would be as high as about 400 billion Hong Kong dollars. By 1985, when the real estate industry recovered, the appreciation of assets became very fast; the most important thing is that the annual rent can bring dozens of million Hong Kong dollars.

With these rents, Lin Rongheng can madly invest overseas.

In this way, it is as if Xiangjiang's rent can bring Lin Rongheng a steady stream of bullets and supply Lin Rongheng's international layout.

Of course, the dividends of companies under Lin Rongheng are also very large, and Lin Rongheng will also invest these funds overseas.

As for the investment in Hong Kong and the Mainland, it is mainly invested by companies.

Hutchison Whampoa.

Lin Rongheng asked several high-level officials in charge of the retail industry about the situation of arranging a large amount of food such as rice and vegetable oil.

Mai Zesi, a foreigner in charge of the supply chain, said: "We have already stocked three times the usual amount, and the warehouses have piled up with various necessities for citizens!"

Lin Rongheng nodded, so that he could rest assured that Xiangjiang's 'Black Saturday' was coming, and there would be many people snapping up these things; Lin Rongheng didn't care about the profit, but his reputation and prestige.

During this period, the share of supermarkets in the retail sector has reached 40%, while in the previous life it reached 80% in the late 50s; In the market, Yonghui Supermarket is the pioneer, which makes some citizens who traditionally buy vegetables also accept to go to the supermarket to buy.

The retail industry of Hutchison Whampoa is not limited to Hong Kong. Supermarkets have opened a large number of stores overseas. They have developed in Southeast Asia, Japan, and Taiwan. With Lin Rongheng's advanced concepts and Hutchison Whampoa's strong strength, the development is not bad. .

In addition to supermarkets, Hutchison Whampoa's Watsons and convenience stores have a large overseas market.

Lin Rongheng believes that in the same period of Hutchison Whampoa's retail business, he has done much better than Li Chaoren; in terms of business, there are also "Red Bull" energy drinks and convenience stores (the previous 7-11 convenience store belonged to Landmark).

As for the department store field, Lin Rongheng didn't like it. After all, the department store industry in Japan has already been defeated by himself from the supermarket, and it is only a matter of time before it declines.

Zhang Jie asked: "Boss, is it related to market rumors to store so much food?"

Lin Rongheng didn't deny it, and said: "It's the time when people are panicking. It doesn't matter if we reserve a little more, we can always digest it!"
