The Industrial Giant Reborn

Chapter 151 The Mystery Customer of Blooming Bank

"Okay, the cost is not a problem." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

"Mr. Chen." Bei Jinming suddenly put down the camera in his hand and said, "Please don't insult me ​​like this. It is my honor to serve such a great project."

"Okay, then I won't pay, but if there are books and materials about Zhiwen Primary School in the future, I will definitely add your name to it." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, in fact, he also knows that people like Bei Jinming are not No normal person will collect money on this kind of project unless they are really poor.

Obviously, Bei Jinming is not a poor person. As one of the most famous architects in the world, he has his own architectural design firm. Every year, several buildings around the world are designed by them, and the income is definitely tens of millions of dollars. unit.

"Thank you." Bei Jinming was very happy, as if he was happier than having made a million dollars.

"Then let's go over there, the sea wind is relatively strong here." Chen Zhiwen smiled, and continued to accompany Bei Jinming to walk around.

Everyone needs to have a goal to pursue, otherwise life will feel too empty, and the same is true for billionaires who are already financially free. Some people choose to continue to earn more wealth.

For example, Li Jiacheng, later generations still refuse to retire at the age of 80. He is not short of money at all, and whether it is Cheung Kong or Hutchison Whampoa, they already have a sound management team, so there is no need for him, an elderly boss, to personally However, he still insists on participating in commercial activities, which is actually a life pursuit.

There are also some people, such as Shao Yifu, who have been donating their wealth to charity for the sake of fame. Although they may have listened to Mr. Feng Shui's words in the early stage, it has basically become a life pursuit in the later stage.

Building Zhiwen Primary School to all parts of the country is also a goal that Chen Zhiwen has set for himself, although this will only be part of his future in the field of charity.And people like Bei Jinming will definitely care about names, so being able to leave one's own name in the incident of Zhiwen Primary School in the future is also very self-inspiring.

Early the next morning:
Chen Zhiwen woke up late, and he was in a good mood. Hutchison Whampoa is on the right track. Although it may take some time to get out of the predicament, the trend is clear. Even those debtor banks have slowly given up their vigilance. There is no problem with the repayment of debt interest, so there is no further question.

Under the stable group of Hutchison Whampoa, Shen Bi also personally called and informed him that he had given Xinghe Real Estate a higher credit limit. This was actually to give Xinghe enough funds to purchase land from Taikoo, as well as future Development Plan.

When it comes to real estate, knowing that the price of land will rise sharply in the future, any company with a brain will develop it with all its strength, and Galaxy Real Estate can be regarded as getting rid of the previous situation of only hoarding and not developing.

When we arrived at the company, it was almost ten o'clock. An Qi came over with a cup of yogurt and egg tarts. This was his breakfast.

"Chen Sheng, last night we received a fax from Joey of Citibank, he said that one of his customers in the United States was interested in the location of our arcade dealer, and said that after three days, That is to say, he will come to Hong Kong to meet us on the 12th." An Qi said after Chen Zhiwen had finished his breakfast.

"Do you have any information about this client?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"No, he didn't tell me." Angie replied.

"So mysterious." Chen Zhiwen was a little curious about this person: "However, it's not ordinary people who can make Citibank treat it so seriously. That's fine, if it's really suitable, it can solve my headache. gone."

Under Chen Zhiwen's plan, the main market for Midea's arcade machines in the early days was bars, and because one of Red Bull's customers was also a bar, except for the very beginning, Midea was directly connected to some bars. The business is temporarily subcontracted to the team of vendors behind the bar.

But the main business of this group of people is not arcade games, and there are always various problems in the cooperation of various aspects. Fortunately, in the first half year of the listing of Snake, they are not well-known, and the production capacity of the Hong Kong factory is gradually increasing. Naturally, it was not very full, so it lasted for a while.

However, with the progress of time, the production capacity has gradually begun to catch up with the sales volume, because the United States is so big, even the number of bar suppliers is a very large number, and it is difficult for Midea to cooperate with all suppliers responsible for all bars in the United States. Contact, therefore, in the entire United States, only a small number of bars know about the Snake arcade machine, and the rest, the existing group of "dealers" have no way to communicate.

More importantly, because this group of people is unprofessional, coupled with communication problems between Hong Kong and the United States, and a small number of quality issues were seriously delayed, it caused some very bad effects.

For any product, when the sales volume is increasing, it will be a fatal problem if the after-sales and service cannot keep up.

Therefore, in the past few months, Chen Zhiwen has also entrusted some friends in the United States to find a suitable general distributor. This person must be able to arrange logistics outlets and after-sales outlets throughout the United States, and at the same time be able to solve various minor problems that arise.

More importantly, this person must be able to open up the US market for Midea's arcade machines. Covering all bars is only one of them. Besides bars, the market also needs to be opened. This can only be hoped that the new distributor has a strong People and resources, the beauty is that it can't be done, and even a small number of bars can't handle the market.

This requirement is very high. In the past few months, several people came to Hong Kong to meet with Chen Zhiwen, but there has been no satisfactory candidate.

"I think he might want to tell you in person, why don't you arrange a phone call?" Angie replied.

"Okay, let's arrange it. Actually, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the person will arrive in 3 days. It's so mysterious. I want to see who it is." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

The time difference is too troublesome, and there is no portable phone, everyone is very busy, it is impossible to stay in the office all the time, and many calls need to be reserved in advance.

"If it is really suitable to be our general distributor, then Midea's problem will be solved." An Qi also said with a smile.

"I hope, it will be a bit troublesome if we drag it on." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, his arcade machine ability is to know which one will explode, but if the channel is not good, then he can only be stuck. Well, the Magic Cube has almost been developed, and because of this, it cannot be released.

Although we will definitely find a suitable general distributor in the end, if we delay for one more day, we will lose one day's money. Especially in recent years, more money will be used for investment, and it will easily increase tenfold in the future.

"Dong dong dong" there was a knock on the door, and Chen Zhiwen saw that it was Zhou Jiayang.

"I'm going out first." Angie left with the breakfast tray.

"Come on, sit down." Chen Zhiwen greeted with a smile: "This time you invited Bei Jinming over so quickly, which is beyond my expectation. I thought it would take a long time for negotiations before he came to Hong Kong?"

"Actually, it's not my credit. I just asked him to design a building in Hong Kong, and after knowing who you are, Chen Sheng, I agreed to come." Zhou Jiayang sat across from him and said with a smile: " It should be Chen Sheng that you are famous enough that the Chinese in the United States admire you very much."

"So being famous has this benefit." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said: "In this way, even if the headquarters building of Xinghe is stable, HSBC is also willing to borrow money. Although I estimate that the profit of the Saixi Lake community is quite high, it is not difficult, no If there will be any big problems, let the two teams that He Huang just poached from Cheung Kong Industrial have a small test to see if they are worth double the price we paid."

"Yeah, together with Hehuang's internal affairs, they are gradually getting back to normal." Zhou Jiayang nodded and said.

When he accepted the position of vice president of Hutchison a few months ago, he thought that there would be great difficulties. After all, Hutchison was too heavily in debt at that time and its internal operations were difficult.

But I didn't expect it to be like God's help. The first is that my boss privatized Hutchison Whampoa and injected hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars separately. This not only eased the company's capital chain problem, but also made the bank's debt duress The footsteps stopped.

The second is the assist of Li Jiacheng. He planned a method to unblock and record a large number of suspended projects and cash out marginal real estate. Not only did the project operate normally, but Hehuang also directly obtained a sum of real cash. So many projects added up, The amount of this amount is hundreds of millions, and in the future, Hutchison Huang can get another share of the cooperation project, although Li Jiacheng may get a bigger one.

The third is the recovery of Hong Kong real estate. Although it has only recovered a little in the past few months, and the appreciation is only about 5%, it has given enough confidence to restore Hutchison's credit line.

Although theoretically speaking, Hutchison's debt is still ridiculously large, but it is not so urgent after all.

"So next, my job is my biggest move for Hutchison." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile: "I want to develop the former Whampoa Group's land in Hung Hom Port."

PS: Ask for a monthly pass at the beginning of the month!
