A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 179 Correct Answer
Cao Zhihua looked at the bosses sitting here, and to be honest, he was quite satisfied.

After everyone put aside their worries, all aspects of the implementation details of the acquisition plan were quickly sorted out.

People who are capable, strong in execution, highly recognized for themselves, and not very ambitious are the talents that Cao Zhihua recognizes and he still likes them very much.

As long as these people follow me wholeheartedly, I don't mind making more money with them.

After all, there is endless money to be made in this world. Now that my foundation in Hong Kong Island has been basically consolidated, if I want to continue to expand, it will not be as smooth as it is now to grab food from other people's mouths.

In this world, as long as interests are involved, it is impossible to scare people away with a name.
So the next development will be the time to test Cao Zhihua. This is why even though Cao Zhihua is so powerful, he doesn't just reach out everywhere.

"Okay, next, regarding funding, I will arrange for the investment consulting department of Zhihua Group to contact the bosses to discuss the details.

At the same time, I hope that everyone will clarify their acquisition goals as soon as possible. This is still the focus of the meeting. Our ultimate goal of acquisition is to monopolize the production of materials and make them one-size-fits-all.

Even if there are funds and strong capital, if they want to come in and compete with us, they will not have enough supply to compete with us.

Do you have any questions? "

"no problem."

"..."

"Okay, let's end the meeting."

After everyone saw Cao Zhihua walking out of the conference room, they all excitedly communicated with each other.

"Hi, Boss Wang, Mr. Cao suddenly proposed a takeover bid. Is Yanghang Real Estate Company so fierce?"

"I'm not very clear about the details, but Jardine Land did send someone to talk to me and wanted me to go over their supply chain and everyone else's matters?"

When the surrounding bosses heard Wang Yi’s explosive news, they quickly gathered around and asked

"Boss Wang, what's going on? Can you elaborate?"

"Yes, Boss Wang, what conditions did Jardine Land offer you?"

When Wang Yi heard this, he felt unhappy and choked:
"Hey, Boss Liu, what do you mean by this? Are you planning on shopping around?"

"Where, where, how could it be? Aren't I just curious? Our business in the alliance is so easy now, so only a fool would go to Baipi."

Wang Yi still said unhappily:
"Hmph, it's best not to have such an idea. Mr. Cao is very kind to us. Not only has he never raised excessive demands on us, he has also led us to make money from the beginning to the end.

I, Wang Yi, come from a martial arts background, and I worship Mr. Guan Er, who talks about loyalty in the martial arts world.
Although Mr. Cao is not here now, I, Wang Yi, am here to say,
You'd better not have any thoughts of being a traitor, otherwise even if Mr. Cao doesn't say anything, I, Wang Yi, won't let him go? "

"That's right, that's right, Boss Wang, I was really just curious, and I definitely didn't have any ulterior motives, let alone shopping around.

Without Mr. Cao, what would we all be like before? Everyone knows that no one wants goods like us. "

"Yes, Boss Wang, Boss Liu probably has no other thoughts. In fact, everyone is curious after all."

Wang Yi saw that everyone was really curious, and if they didn’t say something, they might be dissatisfied, so he said:
"You should know what virtue white skin is. If you have meat to eat, can you still have ours?

The conditions are very simple. They are all nonsense. They are members of the Jockey Club, they are the only river sand supplier in their alliance, and they are supplying materials for government projects.
Hey, they all want to use my existing resources to serve them. It’s all talk, verbal deception, and no actual support at all.

Unlike Mr. Cao, all your difficulties are solved for you, so I advise you not to be half-hearted, otherwise you will regret it. "

"That won't happen, that won't happen. We are the ones led by Mr. Cao. We must follow Mr. Cao wholeheartedly."

"Okay, everyone is busy, let's break up. I have to go to the bosses of two battlefields to discuss acquisitions."

"Yeah, then if you have time, come and have tea with me, I'll take the first step."

"Okay, everyone has time to make a tea date."

Cao Zhihua returned to his office and pondered over the next trend of the acquisition station. He found that he didn't have many ideas. After all, everyone's situation is different and they encounter different problems.

We can only start acquisitions from easy to difficult, acquire all the easy ones first, and then publicize the rare parts one by one.

So after arranging for people from the investment consulting department to follow up with all the bosses in the industry chain to discuss financing and loan details, Cao Zhihua became more relaxed.

Day by day, the building materials industry in Hong Kong has started to develop rapidly since the industrial chain alliance launched the acquisition station.
All building materials manufacturers are feeling the noose tightening around their necks.

Since the establishment of the Industrial Chain Alliance, business in the building materials industry has been deteriorating day by day. The bosses who are still persisting are carrying on with their old capital.

Now the industrial chain alliance has gone too far and directly proposed the acquisition. If they don't agree,

The industrial chain alliance will cut off the few sales channels of material manufacturers in a targeted manner, which will really cost you your life.

Cao Zhihua also has good news frequently. Among the 26 companies in the industrial chain alliance, Zhihua Group has achieved absolute shareholding through financing, 18 of them have taken over the acquisition and management of Zhihua Group, and only 5 have introduced their own expansion. .

Through this round of operations, although Cao Zhihua spent a lot of money, Cao Zhihua felt that it was worth the money.

Now that the industrial chain alliance is almost complete, Cao Zhihua has private assets in his hands.

In a VIP room at the Hong Kong Island Yacht Club, six white men and a Chinese man were sitting together for a meeting.

As the chief executive of Jardine Matheson, John Keswick sat in the main seat, looked at Chen Zengxi and said:
"Mr. Chen, judging from the current situation, the building materials industry chain plan you provided is a bit unrealistic.

Our richest man’s methods are not simple. After unifying the market and the Chinese supply chain,
Recently, the acquisition of building materials manufacturers has been in full swing. There are not many building materials manufacturers in Hong Kong. Once they complete most of the acquisitions,
Then they will monopolize all aspects of production, franchisees, and terminal sales.
This cake is not that delicious? "As an early opponent of Cao Zhihua, Chen Zengxi was targeted by Cao Zhihua as soon as he entered Hong Kong Island to develop.

From the very beginning, the acquisition of tenement buildings and land, especially the development of the Hung Hom site, has been blocked and delayed by the residents, and countless money and energy have been spent. Only now can we finally catch our breath.
Naturally, he hated Cao Zhihua with all his teeth, but his strength was inferior to others. No one dared to ask for help in dealing with Cao Zhihua, so they could only stare at Cao Zhihua secretly, always looking for an opportunity to teach Cao Zhihua a lesson.

Through long-term observation of Cao Zhihua, Chen Zengxi naturally knew that the Hong Kong Island Building Materials Industry Chain Alliance was led by Cao Zhihua.

Therefore, I am reviewing the operation method of the industrial chain alliance every day, hoping to find loopholes in it and ruin Cao Zhihua's reputation once and for all.

The model that Cao Zhihua came up with is a model that has been tempered by subsequent generations through thousands of battles. It is an upright capital crushing and a conspiracy.
Just like Didi Taxi and Meituan in the previous life, they paid money in the early stage to engage in price wars, low prices, and discount coupons to attract you.

You don’t have to be attracted, but it doesn’t matter, you don’t have to, some people use it, and when the surrounding people are enjoying low prices and coupons,
If you are the only one who doesn't use it, you will feel like you are being taken advantage of. If you don't use it at a cheaper price, you will pay more for it.

After using capital price war to knock out other competitors, relying on the monopoly platform, we can raise prices and set thresholds, and all parties can take it all.

It's a pity that the limitations of the times make these white-skinned people know that there is profit in the industrial chain, but they don't know how big the profit will be once it is made.

But now the situation is gradually becoming clearer. Apart from Zhihua Building Materials, other building materials stores on Hong Kong Island Street now have
There are fewer and fewer other building materials stores. Sometimes I can’t find another building materials store even if I walk several streets.
In the real estate development supply chain, almost all Chinese real estate companies and construction companies overwhelmingly support Zhihua Building Materials.

Only the real estate company of Matheson & Co. is still struggling. Chen Zengxi was able to convince the white men of Keswick and John of Jardine Matheson Co., Ltd.

It’s because everyone really agrees with what Chen Zengxi said that there is money to be made in the industrial chain, so everyone groups together.
But the current situation is not very good for everyone sitting here, so Keswick John plans to give Chen Zengqi one last chance to convince everyone. If Chen Zengqi cannot solve the current situation, Zhihua Building Materials will be used to build the house. The price is also cheap, and no one loses anything.

Chen Zengxi saw the six executives from the foreign real estate company sitting here staring at him.

Chen Zengxi can only instill great connections in everyone,

"Mr. John, Mr. Khan Mubban, gentlemen, first of all, we now have a population of nearly 400 million on Hong Kong Island.

Moreover, the Chinese on Hong Kong Island are very hard-working, and the economy of Hong Kong Island is very good this year. The number of registered companies on Hong Kong Island has exceeded 1.

These 400 million people can be roughly divided into 70 households. You can imagine that if each household consumes HK$100 paper in the building materials industry every year, then this is a big business with an annual revenue of HK$7000 million.

And the most important thing is that all the gentlemen sitting here are big landowners and developers in Hong Kong Island.

If our richest man is allowed to monopolize the supply of building materials, it will be extremely disadvantageous for you gentlemen.
In the future, as long as you want to develop real estate, you will be inseparable from Zhihua Building Materials. You will always be controlled by others and have to act based on the face of us, the richest man in Hong Kong Island. "

After hearing what Chen Zengxi said, John Keswick said with an unhappy expression:
"Chen, we hope to hear that you can bring us solutions, not to listen to your scaremongering.

We are all very aware of the conflict between you and Mr. Cao. Please don’t think of us as fools, thinking that we will serve as your spearmen and spend a huge price to avenge you.

Your huge business is bullshit. You know that their industrial chain is almost closed now.

How much capital do we need to invest in building a new industrial chain?

Have you ever calculated how much risk we need to take once we fight with Zhihua Group?
Let me tell you clearly that I have already asked senior officials of the Hong Kong government about this matter.

The clear message from Dedao is that normal business competition is allowed, but other means are never allowed.
Do you know how much cash flow Mr. Cao has now?

There is no normal competition in any way, and we are required to throw money away like a bottomless pit?Are you mentally retarded?I think your life has been a little too comfortable lately? "

The other white-skinned executives also looked at Chen Zengqi suspiciously, but Qi Dezun did not save face for Chen Zengqi and said directly:

"Mr. Cao and I have a good relationship and have always had business contacts. Mr. Cao is very nostalgic for old friendships, is very kind to his friends, and is very generous.
To be honest, although we at Hutchison & Company have a lot of land, we still focus on shipping and trade. Real estate development is not our focus.
And now that Mr. Cao has taken the lead, how much money does he need to invest in material production, sales channels, and seizing the market?Our money has been invested, how can we protect our profits?
Everyone, I am very sorry that we at Hutchison Matheson are not very interested in this industrial chain plan. "

Shiyok Shihuaiya of Taikoo Mathematics continued Qi Dezun’s words and said:
"Mr. John, you are the initiator, but we at Swire Pacific also feel that the industrial chain plan is not advisable.

Even if we invest a huge amount of money, it is still an investment that is difficult to make a profit.

We, the richest man in Hong Kong, may have more liquidity than all of us sitting here combined.

Everyone really wants a life-and-death price war with little profit?

Moreover, I am not interested in the conflict between Chen and the richest man at all and do not want to get involved. "

Chen Zengxi watched the white skin sitting there withdrawing one by one, his face getting paler and paler, and he quickly interjected:

"Mr. John, Mr. Qi Dezun, the material supply of such an important industry as Hong Kong real estate cannot be left in the hands of a Chinese, otherwise everyone will regret it in the future."

When Shi York and Shi Huaiya heard what Chen Zengxi said, they felt more and more that this person's purpose was not simple. He just wanted to draw everyone into opposition to Cao Zhihua so that he could take revenge, so he looked at Chen Zengxi with disdain and said:
"Okay, Chen, we have decided on our own at this stage. There is nothing for you to do here. You can go out first."

When Chen Zengxi heard that Shi Yoke and Shi Huaiya were driving people away, he looked at him in disbelief, then looked at several other white men, and finally John from Yihe Matheson said:
"Chen, please go back first. I will chat with a few gentlemen and let you know if there is any specific news."

When Chen Zengxi saw that the promoter John said the same thing, he stood up and walked out in despair.

After Shi York Shi Huaiya saw Chen Zeng wash away, he held back his anger and said to everyone:

"Hey, John, it seems like your little friend is very dishonest.
This is planning to set us up to start a war with the Chinese business representatives.

This kind of routine that we have used out of date is used on us. John, aren't you going to give everyone an explanation? "

When John Keswick saw several senior executives from foreign companies sitting there looking at him coldly, he felt a little stressed and said:
“First of all, I did not get involved in the industry’s profits and risks and did too much investigation, so I called everyone together. It was indeed my fault.
Chen used to develop in Malay and came to Hong Kong through my connections. I didn’t expect that he would dare to interfere with me.
Of course, I also have selfish motives. Don’t you think that our richest man has made so much money in just two years? He is indeed very capable in making money.
And our richest man has never been close to us. Eating alone is not a good habit.

So I originally planned to invite everyone to give him some color and see,

Let him know that in this society of Hong Kong Island, getting rich together with us is the right answer. "
