The Industrial Giant Reborn.

Chapter 422 Taishan Club's next investment direction

After the official and personal affairs in the mainland were all private, Chen Zhiwen met with several wealthy people who came to China with him, and they were the members of the Taishan Club.

"Chen Sheng, I heard that you have won the project of Yanjing International Trade Center?" Guo Henian also came to the mainland once in a while, and happened to know that Chen Zhiwen was here, so he came to visit.

"Yes, I have also mentioned this project with China. If it is to be done, it will be bigger. I am going to double the scale directly. Not to mention the world, at least it will become the largest trade center building in Asia." Chen Zhiwen smiled Said.

"Ambition. When I heard that the Japanese consortiums opened their mouths to all kinds of lions in Yanjing City, and wanted the mainland to reduce the tariffs on some Japanese goods in a targeted manner, I almost pissed me off. These bastards " Guo Henian said with a smile: "I also wanted to come to invest, but this project needs at least 5 million US dollars, which is a bit difficult for me. I have to raise funds from a large number of other businesses, which is troublesome.

But Chen Sheng, you have invested now, that's fine, and save us from being angry with Little Japan. "

Bao Yugang on the side knocked on the melon seeds and said with a smile, "Guo is very generous."

"It's just a small joke. You are the ones who really invest in the mainland." Guo Henian shook his head and said.

"Then you come to the mainland this time, don't you have any investment plans?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"It's not considered an investment. You also know that my main business is sugar trading. There is currently a shortage of sugar in the country, so I hope to buy some from me. This matter is also more troublesome. Once the outside world finds out, it may rise immediately. price, but I can't hide it." Guo Henian shook his head and said.

"It's not easy to solve, but you can consider choosing some places in the country to plant sugar beet or sugarcane on a large scale, and then build a large sugar factory. It should be better." Chen Zhiwen asked.

The lack of sugar in the country cannot be solved, because the population is too large, and the current sugar production technology is not good enough. Naturally, the shortage is severe. After decades, with the development of agricultural technology, the per capita demand has also increased. In order to ensure the safety of staple foods due to the limited land in the country, sugar naturally relies on imports, just like soybeans.

"I thought about it, but it doesn't work. There are very few large-scale farms in the country, and there are even fewer places suitable for sugarcane or beet planting. And because they can't be planted in a centralized manner, the transportation cost is also very high. No matter where the sugar is built The factory is also unfeasible, this kind of thing requires long-term planning by the domestic local government, and it may take more than ten years to succeed, and it cannot quench the near thirst.” Guo Henian shook his head and said.

"That's true, then there's nothing I can do." Chen Zhiwen said helplessly. Although he is rich, he can't solve everything. Maybe sugar imports don't cost much, but he won't do this kind of thing either. Deliberately help.

After all, although sugar is an important material, it is not a necessity for survival. If one day there is a serious shortage of staple food in the country and threatens many ordinary people, then he can help, but he is not interested in other things.

"Actually, it's not impossible. I plan to expand sugarcane plantations in Southeast Asia. If I sign a long-term stable agreement with China, it will not only ensure the safety of domestic sugar imports, but also ensure that my investment projects will not lose money due to international futures. , It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, even in places like Southeast Asia, it still takes three or four years to scale up." Guo Henian said.

"That's better than nothing."Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, Guo Henian, a sugar and some grain trading giant, also invested in professional farms. The farm costs hundreds of millions of dollars, and because a large number of workers are needed, it can also drive a large number of local employment.

In fact, the Chinese consortium has gained a firm foothold in Southeast Asia by relying on this method. The sales channels are in other places in Europe and the United States. Then some countries in Southeast Asia have no choice but to rely on them, because if they kill the chicken to get the eggs, the entire industry may be gone in the end. .

"Actually, there is another way to buy a ready-made farm directly, but you still have to rely on Chen Sheng!" Guo Henian said with a smile.

"Me? What can I do?" Chen Zhiwen asked curiously. He has many farms in the Americas, but the geographical location is not suitable for growing sugar cane, and his current main intention is to go to pastures because of the low investment.

"The largest farm in Indonesia belongs to Jardine. Mr. Chen should understand what I mean!" Guo Henian said with a smile.

"Understood, in this case, if I succeed, then Guo Sheng will definitely be able to get what he wants." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

In fact, not to mention the few people who are close to me, many ordinary people in Hong Kong and even the media have estimated that Chen Zhiwen will acquire land sooner or later. It is really like the sun in the morning, and the other is like the sunset. Although the latter The scale is still very large, but the decline is already obvious.

As for this real estate crisis, it has been rumored in the market that Hongkong Land owed huge debts, but there is no substantive evidence, and Hongkong Land has repeatedly stated that all accounts are in good condition, and quarterly dividends are paid normally. The power is still great, and the media of all parties dare not write nonsense, so this matter can only become a topic of ordinary people's gossip.

However, for business tycoons, although they don’t know the specific financial situation of Hongkong Land, they only need to use limited information, such as Hongkong Land’s core assets, public debt information, etc., to roughly judge the debt situation of Hongkong Land. Obviously very bad.

Based on Chen Zhiwen's attitude towards British capital in Hong Kong in the past few years, coupled with his previous selling high and buying low in the real estate market, with a little judgment, we can know that it will be sooner or later to make a move, but we are not sure when, and there is another problem: That is how to crack Yizhi Mutual Control.

In fact, in the original history, when Jardine Land was in trouble, there were many rumors in the market that Chinese giants would acquire Hongkong Land or even Jardine Land. In 87, when we really started to do it, we encountered the global economic crisis, and finally had no choice but to give up. Later, the housing prices in Central Hong Kong skyrocketed, and there was no chance.

"Thank you very much. In fact, the Jardine Group has planned to build large-scale sugarcane planting bases in Southeast Asia before. They have such large farms in Hawaii, Indonesia, and Thailand. They used to be bigger than mine. Unfortunately, , I don’t know how to manage, and I don’t know how to maximize the utilization of resources. As a result, such a good asset has become a burden to the group.” Guo Henian said with a smile.

"The Jardine Matheson Group has indeed been resting on its laurels over the years. Among all the British companies in Hong Kong, HSBC is the one working relatively hard." Chen Zhiwen smiled and shook his head.

"Sooner or later, Hong Kong will be dominated by us Chinese." Guo Henian said with a big laugh.

"Then Guo Sheng doesn't want to join in? A big hotel? Or build a Shangri-La Hotel in Hong Kong, and that's enough?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"What does Chen Sheng mean to invest in Hong Kong real estate now?" Guo Henian asked.

"Yes, I personally think that the current trough in Hong Kong is only temporary. As a window for the mainland to connect with the outside world, Hong Kong's role will only increase in the future. Once the economy improves, housing prices and land prices will inevitably rise." Chen Zhiwen said .

This time in the mainland, he has two big projects. The first is the Yanjing International Trade Center project, and the second is the gold industry he discovered by accident-edible oil. In fact, one and a half of these two industries will belong to Guo Henian in the future. Yes, the former is solely owned by him, the latter was founded by his family members, and Guo Henian himself also has a lot of shares.

Although it is said that he comes first, he has a good relationship. Since he has robbed other people of two major industries in the future, it is natural to suggest that he participate in the profitable Hong Kong real estate industry in the future. He does not need to pay for it anyway, but no matter what , You still need to pay attention to the statement, it can only be a suggestion, not a guarantee, no matter how confident he is, he doesn't need to make such a promise.

If Guo Henian believes in himself and invests heavily in Hong Kong, perhaps the income in the future will not be lower than that of the Yanjing International Trade Center project, otherwise, there is no other way.

"We all think so, and now I'm planning to invest in some real estate projects in Hong Kong." Hu Yingxiang also said with a smile.

"Isn't all your capital invested in China? I heard that you want to build four Yangtze River bridges?" Guo Henian asked with a smile.

"It's true, but this kind of project is not so easy to settle, it's still early, and the domestic infrastructure also needs bank loans, and I can't spend much here." Hu Yingxiang said: "So part of my funds are still I stayed in Hong Kong and prepared to do a big job, but I still have to rely on Chen Sheng's Hisense Bank."

"Yes, no matter who the three of you want to invest in real estate in Hong Kong, our Hisense Bank will provide the highest amount for the three of you, but if the risk is too high, the interest will naturally be higher." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

Hisense Bank, after its own acquisition, has been sought after by Hong Kong citizens. A large number of people go to Hisense to save money. After the real estate crisis, more people have nowhere to invest, so they can only save money. Although Chen Zhiwen has already arranged The conversion of funds into US dollars can only be a part at most, even half is impossible. The Hong Kong government's foreign exchange administration is also under control, and banks will also be supervised.

Chen Zhiwen naturally doesn't care about the real estate crisis, this is the best time to buy at a low price, but his own bank can't give him a loan, Hutchison, Wharf, Galaxy, even Midea and Red Bull or his father's Even Hengyi cannot borrow money from Hisense. In this case, Taishan Society will play a role.

Anyway, it is impossible for me to monopolize the huge profits in the Hong Kong real estate market, so let people with good connections invest heavily in the Hong Kong real estate market, and then get loans from my own bank, thereby reducing the pressure on the bank, which is killing three birds with one stone.

"Sheng Bao also invested?" Robert Kuok asked.

"Yes, I also bought a few pieces of land in Tsim Sha Tsui. Let's consider it as my official entry into Hong Kong real estate." Pao Yugang nodded and said. The Bao family has been in the shipping market. In the past two years, with the help of Chen Zhiwen, it acquired China Electric Power. Naturally, he now trusts Chen Zhiwen, and he also trusts the mainland government.

"Well, I'll go back and discuss it with my family. If there is no problem, my Guo family will also invest heavily in Hong Kong." Guo Henian thought for a while and said.

PS: Don’t worry about the heroine’s affairs. Some people will be dissatisfied with whoever writes it, and no matter who it is, they are all vase characters. There are not many commercial novels where the heroine is very good.

In addition, those who said that they married generations of H in the Mainland, I really want to ask what do you think?Will American industries no longer exist?As for the heroine looking for foreigners, that's even more impossible. As an author, I'm also a reader, and I don't accept finding a foreigner, even Japanese, Korean and Asian. It must be Chinese.
