Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 323 He Huang's long and short battle ([-])
"Guo Sheng, you said that you want to promote in-depth cooperation between the company under your name and the company under the name of Hutchison Whampoa. I would like to ask, which company under the name of Hutchison Whampoa do you want to cooperate with and how do you want to cooperate?" a cooperative law?"

Lin Baicheng asked aloud, wanting to hear what Guo Henian had to say.

"Watsons, I want the company under my name to have in-depth cooperation with Watsons."

Guo Henian pointed out the companies he wanted to cooperate with, and then said: "Actually, before that, there is a question I want to find the answer from you, Lin Sheng. Regarding Watsons, is Hutchison Whampoa going to expand vigorously? Is Watsons' retail business Hutchison Whampoa's next key business development?"

"Real estate and retail are the key development directions of Hutchison Whampoa in the next few decades."

Lin Baicheng thought about it, and felt that there was nothing he couldn't say.Let’s not say that interested people can see this from Hutchison Whampoa’s business. Even if people know about it in advance, it’s hard to say whether the other party has his determination and whether they have such a large amount of money to invest, so I’m not afraid to say it. More competitors.

"That's fine."

Guo Henian couldn't help smiling when he heard the words: "I saw Watsons just opened in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore more than a month ago. Afterwards, I launched a survey on Watsons and found that Watsons not only has many stores in Xiangjiang, but also in key cities in Southeast Asia. There is also a layout, and there are even stores in the UK that are being renovated.”

"In addition to the sugar business, I also do feed, edible oil, flour and other businesses. Retail channels can help my business to a higher level. That's why I want to become a director of Hutchison Whampoa, and let these products be compared with Watsons. in-depth cooperation."

"This is what I think. I hope that these products of mine can be sold in Watsons. Watsons will no longer sell other products of the same type and give better recommendations to my products."

"Watsons will not only sell one brand of the same product."

Lin Baicheng immediately shook his head when he heard this, and said honestly: "On the one hand, we need to give customers more choices and let them choose the products they want to buy; on the other hand, we cannot be manipulated by suppliers. Or what if you choose to cooperate with other supermarkets and suddenly run out of stock?"

"So, if Guo Sheng insists on this, then I can only say that it is a pity that we cannot cooperate."

Lin Baicheng has great expectations for Watsons, and it is impossible to do things against Watsons just because of a little difficulty today.

With the support of Lin Baicheng, Watsons will spread all over Southeast Asia sooner or later, and even expand to Europe and North America.After the mainland is truly opened up, it will even enter the mainland and open in major cities.

Thinking about opening supermarkets through self-built channels in major cities in the mainland, even if the retail supermarkets do not make money, the increase in housing prices alone will make Watsons make a lot of money.

Furthermore, it is impossible not to make money in retail, especially when the competition is not big at the beginning, it is very, very profitable.Even if there is a lot of competition, as long as the net profit of 5% can be maintained, the profit of the retail industry will be a lot of money.

After hearing Lin Baicheng's words, Guo Henian was not too disappointed. He was asking for a price, and said immediately: "Lin Sheng, how about placing my product in a prominent position in Watsons and focusing on recommending my product?"

Lin Baicheng thought for a while and said: "Guo Sheng, that's all I can say. As long as your product quality is not problematic and the price is not much higher than similar products, Watsons can give you the best position for this type of product. , and will give corresponding recommendations. If Watsons has an event, you can consider bringing your product Guo Sheng according to the type of event, and try to let as many customers know about your product as Guo Sheng.”

Lin Baicheng will not give Guo Henian product privileges, but under the same conditions, there is no problem in giving preferential treatment.

"that's it!"

Guo Henian is already satisfied with this. Watsons is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa, and holding shares in Hutchison Whampoa is investing in Watsons.In fact, Guo Henian doesn't care much about whether Hutchison Whampoa or Watsons can make money. He is interested in the gradual expansion of Watsons' channels, which can allow his products to be sold in more places. The extra retail channels are a new profit point.

In Guo Henian's view, as long as the purchase of Hutchison Whampoa's stock does not suffer a huge loss, the profits he can make through the Watsons channel will definitely make his investment back in a few years.

Of course, investment is not without the possibility of failure. If the profits brought by Watson's channel are not as good as he expected, it means that his vision and judgment are wrong, and no one else is to blame.

To do business, you must dare to invest. For example, he purchased a large amount of raw sugar in 70 and invested heavily in white sugar futures trading. At that time, he judged that the price of sugar would rise, so he invested heavily.Later, he succeeded, so he became the sugar king of Asia, and his net worth skyrocketed.

This time, Guo Henian once again invested heavily in Hutchison Whampoa, and he believes that Watsons will give him a huge return.

"Lin Sheng, in the afternoon, I will ask people to buy a large amount of Hutchison Whampoa's shares and increase their holdings to more than 5%. I hope that I can become a director of Hutchison Whampoa by then."

"As long as Guo Sheng's shareholding reaches 5% and you apply to join the board of directors, I will agree."

Lin Baicheng nodded in agreement when he heard the words, and then said: "Guo Sheng, Hutchison Whampoa is currently looking for a bank loan, and it is possible to borrow a sum of money for repurchase, so if you want to buy a sufficient number of shares, you'd better hurry up. "

"Lin Sheng is going to fight back?"

This sentence was asked by Huo Yingdong.

"Let's not talk about counterattack. Hutchison Whampoa is in trouble now and doesn't have much funds at all."

Lin Baicheng shook his head and said, "I asked my friends in the United States to help me buy a large number of stocks below 25 Hong Kong dollars, but unfortunately it still didn't support Hutchison's stock price. For this repurchase, Hutchison may not be able to pay more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars, it is not certain whether it can even be loaned so much, and the specific situation will be known in the afternoon."

"I don't dare to fight back. With Guo Sheng's purchase and Hutchison's repurchase, I can raise the stock price to above 20 Hong Kong dollars again, then I am satisfied."

5% of the shares are only 2000 million shares, and Guo Henian already holds 1.5% of the shares. If he only buys 5%, he only needs to buy another 1400 million shares.Even if Hutchison Whampoa's loan is 5 million Hong Kong dollars, it can only buy more than 20 million shares under 2000 Hong Kong dollars, which adds up to only 10% of the shares.

Although 10% is a lot, it is not enough. As long as the short side is determined enough, the stock price will still be suppressed in the future.

"At this price, I am still very optimistic about Hutchison Whampoa, so I will try to buy as many shares as possible."

Guo Henian said with a smile that he dared to buy it at around 40 Hong Kong dollars, not to mention the current price of less than 20 Hong Kong dollars.There is no problem with Hutchison Whampoa's operations, and he doesn't think the stock price will fall much below HK$20.

"Then it will be up to Guo Sheng."

When Lin Baicheng said this, he suddenly thought of Li Jiacheng, wondering if Li Jiacheng, who wanted to buy the bottom, would buy in the stock market.If so, it can also be considered a long position.

Although Li Jiacheng will definitely make a lot of money after buying the bottom now, Lin Baicheng can't stop Li Jiacheng from buying the bottom at all, and it is better to let Li Jiacheng make money than to let the short-selling British family make money.

Lin Baicheng was very, very upset when he thought of letting those jackal British-owned families make a fortune by shorting Hutchison Whampoa.
