The Industrial Giant Reborn.

Chapter 397 Satellite Television Project
"Only 90? What kind of port can this build?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"Mr. Chen, the port in Shenhai City is not going to be like Shekou. If you don't buy large-scale port equipment, and if the export volume is not large, the requirements for infrastructure construction will not be very high, and the 90 yuan is only government funding, and we will still prepare for it in the future." Loans from the Bank of Japan." Yuan Geng explained.

"So that's what happened. I also have a bank in Hong Kong. In fact, Shenhai City doesn't necessarily need a loan from a Japanese bank." Chen Zhiwen said casually.

"I don't know why Shenhai City chose the Bank of Japan, but the Bank of Japan has provided loans for many domestic projects in the past two years, and many railways in the north were built with the funds of the Bank of Japan." Yuan Geng said : "However, if I lack funds in the Shekou Industrial Zone, I will definitely choose Hisense Bank as the first priority"

"I'm just talking, it's okay." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile. After the opening of the country, there are indeed many cooperations with Japan. The biggest project is naturally Baosteel, which is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and there are many other fields.This may not be purely economic cooperation, but may also involve some high-end technology transactions.

However, what no one knows is that after the Plaza Accord, the yen has appreciated significantly, and domestic transactions are all in yen, which will lead to heavy losses for many projects in the next few years, but he has no way to interfere in this kind of thing, at most If you have a chance, use your own Hisense Bank to grab loans for some small projects. Such super-large projects are impossible to succeed.

"Oh, that's good." Yuan Geng smiled, and said to the guy who just passed by: "Guy, let's have some more roasted lamb."

"Okay." The man also knew that the two had special identities, so he hurried to do something.

After a short tour of Shenhai City, Chen Zhiwen returned to Hong Kong. This time, he had no investment purpose, just to take a look, but he did know the news about Yantian Port.

On the second day after returning to Hong Kong, Chen Zhiwen came to Hutchison Building and told Zhou Jiayang about the incident.

"Chen Sheng, I'm sorry, I haven't heard the news that Shenhai City is planning to build a port." Zhou Jiayang said apologetically. A long time ago, the boss regarded the port as one of the main core industries of Hutchison's future, which also clearly stated that the domestic The port market in Shenzhen will be an important investment direction in the future. Therefore, Hutchison invested in the port in the Shekou Industrial Zone, but he did not get the news that Shenhai City is planning to build a port.

"This is also normal. The total investment project is only 90 yuan. It is estimated that for the Shenhai Municipal Government, it is only a small investment. If I hadn't heard about it by chance, I would not know." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said. Huang, the scale is in the unit of "[-] million". Without such an investment of funds, it is really difficult to attract their attention.

In fact, Chen Zhiwen also sent some people to the mainland to work in the offices of several of his companies in the mainland. At the same time, he also let these people pay attention to some domestic affairs, such as economic policies, large-scale project investment, etc. Most of them It's useless, Chen Zhiwen just wants to understand it, maybe it will stimulate some of his forgotten memories.

It's the same in Shenhai City, but even if the subordinates know about the investment of 90 yuan, they won't report it. After all, there are such investments in every city in China, and there are so many of them.

"Then do we also need to find a way to get involved?" Zhou Jiayang asked.

"Of course, but don't just run over there to invest, it's too abrupt." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said, "I know that this project mainly relies on Japanese bank loans for investment. You can discuss it with Huo Jianning and arrange a capable The commissioner of the company went to visit the Yantian Port Port Company and said that Hisense Bank can provide more favorable loans, no matter whether we can get the loan or not, but this is considered to be contact first, and we will find a way to invest in the future.”

"This is a good way. I'll go find Huo Jianning later." Zhou Jiayang said with a smile.

At present, the real estate market in Hong Kong is not good, which also makes life difficult for banks. Under such circumstances, it is reasonable for Hisense Bank to go to China to find customers. A project of several million seems a bit too deliberate.

"Let's leave it at that. Actually, it's not a big deal. How is the discussion with the Hong Kong government going? About the land auction restrictions?" Chen Zhiwen asked again.

The future of Yantian Port is indeed a large port, but now it is a small one. The investment will not cost much, and it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t invest. The development is good, but the foundation is poor, and it is not very rich. Unlike the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the project approval of Pudong Port is world-class.

At present, the opportunity of Hong Kong's real estate crisis is much greater. It can even be said that if you stock up on more land in Hong Kong, your future income will not be much worse than that of a large port, but the influence will be much worse.

"The Hong Kong government means that our requirements are too many. They can appropriately reduce some land restrictions, but there will not be many, but what is the [appropriate] amount? They didn't make it clear, so we can only wait. Let's wait and see after one auction," Zhou Jiayang said.

"Well, it's expected. The Hong Kong government may make appropriate concessions, but it's impossible to meet our requirements immediately." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, "Then keep an eye on the follow-up. If there is such a situation, there is no time for development." If there are restrictions or the time is relatively long, then don’t think about it, just shoot it directly.”

"Okay, that's no problem." After Zhou Jiayang agreed, he said: "In addition, I have arranged to start buying the shares of the real estate five tigers. It is estimated that it will take half a year to reach a 15% share."

"It doesn't matter, just buy slowly. There is no need to have any pressure, and I am not going to buy these companies." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

The Five Tigers of real estate are Cheung Kong Holdings, Hehe Holdings, Sun Hung Kai Group, New World Group, and Henderson Land. Except for Hehe, which has transferred its assets to the mainland, the five leaders are all future Hong Kong top consortia. I reminded myself that with the support from Hisense Bank, it is estimated that it will continue to develop in Hong Kong.

Buying the stocks of these companies is of course beneficial and harmless, but acquisitions are unnecessary. Although these companies are already large in scale and have a lot of high-quality land under their umbrella, the real value lies in their founders and the team he built. It's useless to buy it yourself, these people are unlikely to work for others.

This is completely different from Hongkong Land. The assets of Hongkong Land are the accumulation of hard work and money for a hundred years, and the current head has no ability at all, so he will naturally replace him.

"Understood, but it's better not to let them find out, otherwise it may cause some misunderstanding." Zhou Jiayang said.

"Okay." Chen Zhiwen nodded, and said, "Is there any high-quality land acquired in the market? Or properties?"

"Not yet, but there are some ordinary ones. It may be because people who can own high-quality land will have other assets. They will not sell the best real estate unless they have to." Zhou Jiayang analyzed.

"Then wait a little longer, I don't believe they will be able to hold on in another year." Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said.

It has only been half a year since the economic crisis last year. Even if many people have debts, they can survive for a period of time. For example, Hongkong Land seems to have no major problems on the surface. They can even pay dividends to shareholders. After all, their own funds The reserve is not low, and a large number of buildings provide rent collection, so it is no problem to last for half a year.

But there are very few who can last a year. After all, there are financial reports every quarter. Although the financial reports can be modified appropriately, they cannot be faked. Once the reserved resources are used up, the accounts will be unstoppable. That will inevitably cause banks to shrink credit, and there will be problems with capital flow. Landmark and Jardine, that's it.

"As far as I know, many large conglomerates have extremely serious debts, such as Hang Lung Properties, Great Eagle, Wheelock, and Orient Overseas. If Hong Kong's economy does not improve quickly, they will all encounter problems similar to Hutchison a few years ago. .” Zhou Jiayang said.

"This is our chance, but we don't need to take the initiative. When they can't survive, we can provide assistance, either take over the unsustainable properties in their hands, or invest in shares, even if we are a well-intentioned white man Samurai, especially many Chinese-funded consortiums, we forcibly buy them, there is no need." Chen Zhiwen said.

In the past few years, Chen Zhiwen has forcibly acquired large consortiums many times, which made many large companies more vigilant. Fortunately, the acquisitions were all British-funded consortiums, which also made many Chinese investors feel at ease. Chen Zhiwen also intends to maintain this state , I don’t need to eat too much alone. If I can help others when they are in a slump, I can make a lot of money by getting projects, and I can get long-term benefits by getting shares. In this era, those who can start a business and develop into a large company have strong ability.

"Okay, let's wait until they can't take it anymore." Zhou Jiayang said.

"By the way, there is another thing called the B-type official letter for land certificate. I have been buying this thing a few years ago. Now that the land price has fallen, it should be much cheaper. Its attributes are similar to stocks. Just buy it, and you don't need to choose everywhere like buying land." Chen Zhiwen said again.

"OK, I'll check the market situation first, and report to you when the information is ready." Zhou Jiayang said.

"Well, another thing, TVB is basically a monopoly in the Hong Kong market right now?" Chen Zhiwen paused, took a sip of tea, and asked again.

"TVB? It is indeed a monopoly." Zhou Jiayang was stunned suddenly. The boss's question caught him off guard. After all, although TVB is a monopoly giant of Hong Kong TV stations, it can make a profit. It is really not as good as He Huang's real estate, which is Its attributes are somewhat special, and it can advertise for its own real estate, banks, various commodities, and supermarkets. Otherwise, for such a profitable company, he may only read its financial report once a year.

"After the monopoly, we need to expand outward, otherwise, we will be trapped in Hong Kong forever." Chen Zhiwen said.

"Chen Sheng means satellite TV?" Zhou Jiayang asked, it's not difficult to guess, because it is almost impossible to get a TV license in other countries, even the overlord of the United States, it is very difficult to do it, and Satellite TV stations can allow people within half the world to receive signals. This is also a method for many local TV stations to expand, increasing a large number of users through satellites.

However, the cost is relatively high. Whether it is cost-effective or not depends on the ability of the TV station. If the ability is strong, the number of customers will increase, and the advertising fee will naturally increase. of.

"Yes, first find a way to rent a satellite channel in the Asia-Pacific region and release our channel signal. In Asia, there are many Chinese people and many areas influenced by Chinese, which are our primary customers." Chen Zhiwen said.
