Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 797 Someone is in a hurry
Foden didn't know the saying that people depend on food.

Moreover, he has never been in the catering business before, and he doesn't know how profitable KFC will be if it develops in the future.

Even if you don't operate a store, you can already earn a lot of money just by selling franchise rights and regional franchises.

"Lin, if you want to eat fried chicken, I can find you the best chef to fry it for you, but if you want me to invest in the fast food industry, I don't think it's very reliable."

Foden shook his head. He was not very interested in this unfamiliar industry.

Although he doesn't know what Lin Daoqiu thinks, but for Foden, he is more willing to invest in the industry he is good at than the fast food industry.

This is actually human nature, at least Foden behaved professionally enough, and did not agree to Lin Daoqiu rashly because of a few words.

In fact, Foden would reject him, which was within Lin Daoqiu's expectation.

If the other party was a person who would invest a lot of money just because of a few words from others, it is estimated that old Lawrence would not feel at ease to hand over all his business to him.

"In this case, can you help me and contact the KFC people, I want to talk to them."

Foden is not willing to take a stake, and Lin Daoqiu will not force him, but Lin Daoqiu still wants Foden to help connect him with people from KFC.

For Lin Daoqiu's request, Foden did not refuse, because it was just a matter of effort for him.

"This is no problem, but before this time, I still want to advise you to think carefully, the catering industry is not so easy to operate."

Foden said that these are all for the sake of Lin Daoqiu.

But Lin Daoqiu didn't need to think about this matter at all.

"Okay, then this matter will trouble you, if you have any news, please let me know as soon as possible."

As soon as Foden heard it, he knew that Lin Daoqiu did not adopt his opinion. It seemed that he had already made up his mind to enter the catering industry.

Although Foden felt very helpless, he would still help Lin Daoqiu contact KFC.

As for investing in KFC together, there was nothing he could do.

"Yihe intends to sell Xiangjiang Electric to the Lawrence family?"

Chen Jiasheng received a piece of news that shocked him.

He has been watching Xiangjiang Electric for a long time, but because the amount required for the acquisition is too large, he has been slow to make a move.

But I didn't expect Yihe Group to prepare to sell the Xiangjiang Electric Lamp that I bought just half a year ago, which surprised Chen Jiasheng.

"Boss, it is said that they have had several contacts, and the person who made the match is Lin Daoqiu."

Chen Jiasheng's brows were deeply frowned. He had already learned afterward that the last incident at Lanshuipu was all caused by Lin Daoqiu.

Unexpectedly, now he has taken aim at the Xiangjiang Electric Lamp that he has taken a fancy to.

At this time, if Chen Jiasheng were to spend 30 billion to buy Xiangjiang Electric, it would be a heavy burden for him.

Moreover, in the current situation where the situation is not yet clear, it is really not a wise choice to spend such a large sum of money for investment.

Even Chen Jiasheng, who made his fortune by hunting down the bottom line, dare not make such a large-scale investment at this time.

"Understood, you go out first."

Chen Jiasheng frowned, it seemed that he was a little upset because of this sudden incident.

After the secretary left, Chen Jiasheng picked up the phone on the desk and dialed the number of Brown's office.

"Hi Mr. Brown, I'm Chen Jiasheng, are you free today? I'd like to treat you to a cup of afternoon tea."

Chen Jiasheng now wants to find out as soon as possible how far the matter of Heung Kong Electric has progressed.

If the Hongkong Land Group really wants to sell Heungkong Electric, Chen Jiasheng may have to seriously consider whether it is time to participate in this bidding.

Although Chen Jiasheng has long coveted Xiangjiang Electric Lamp, he has been calm and has not shown the slightest interest in Xiangjiang Electric Lamp.

However, during this period, Chen Jiasheng and Heung Kong Electric have already cooperated many times.

In 80, Heung Kong Industrial Co., Ltd. and the British foreign firm Wheelock established International City Group Co., Ltd., with a share capital of 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, and a public offering of 4.5 million shares was listed in Heung Kong.

Heung Kong Electric, Hong Kong Electric and Heung Kong Industrial are both major shareholders of International City, each holding about 34% of the shares, and Chen Jiasheng is the chairman.

Chen Jiasheng himself has done in-depth investigation and research on Heung Kong Electric.

According to Chen Jiasheng's prediction, Hongkong Land Group's previous aggressive expansion behavior has already laid the groundwork for this company.

It just so happened that Hong Kong's real estate during this period was in a trend of collapse. The previous crazy expansion of Hongkong Land Group did not bring them enough profits, but it also burdened them with a heavy burden.

Brown didn't expect that Chen Jiasheng would invite him to have afternoon tea at this time.

He felt that Chen Jiasheng's move was a bit unusual, but he still readily agreed.

And Chen Jiasheng chose the Mandarin Oriental Hotel under Yihe Group as the place to treat guests.

And in order to show his sincerity, Chen Jiasheng also arrived 15 minutes earlier, which can be said to have given Brown enough face.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

Brown heard that Chen Jiasheng had arrived early, which made him feel even more that Chen Jiasheng must be asking for something when he invited him to drink tea today.

"Mr. Brown, you are welcome. You have to take time out of your busy schedule to see me. I should be the one to thank you."

After the two sat down, Chen Jiasheng was very enthusiastic, serving tea and water, asking for warmth, which made Brown feel more and more that the other party must have something to ask for.

After chatting for a while, Chen Jiasheng finally started to lead the topic to Xiangjiang Electric.

"Mr. Brown, I heard that members of the Lawrence family have come to Xiangjiang and plan to invest here. Is there such a thing?"

Brown did not hide from Chen Jiasheng, he nodded.

"Mr. Chen is right. Mr. Foden of the Lawrence family is currently investigating Xiangjiang. He and Mr. Lin Daoqiulin are good friends. It is said that he got advice from Mr. Lin, so he is planning to invest in Xiangjiang."

Brown couldn't figure out why Chen Jiasheng asked about Foden.

Chen Jiasheng smiled, and then continued to ask.

"It is said that Mr. Foden intends to buy Xiangjiang Electric. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

When Brown heard this, he laughed secretly. He didn't expect Chen Jiasheng to have a crush on Xiangjiang Electric.

However, Chen Jiasheng's information may have gone wrong. It was not that Foden was interested in Xiangjiang Electric, but that Yihe Group planned to sell Xiangjiang Electric to the other party.

But in this case, Brown will not declare to the Chen family.

Because he felt that Chen Jiasheng's purpose for asking him out today was probably related to Xiangjiang Electric.
