A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 188
"Hello, Chairman, the three real estate projects of Hengnong Group, Henglong Life Garden, have been sold in the third phase due to very good sales in the early stage, with a total of 1296 apartments sold.
The Investment Department calculated the price based on the lowest price based on the Hengnong Life Garden sales department's price of RMB 4 to RMB 4.5, and the total sales amount was more than RMB 5000 million.

Due to its booming sales, Hengnong Life Garden adopts an advance pre-sale sales model.
The current construction progress of the entire project is still building the first phase of apartments.
The Hengnong Book Garden project is now in a similar situation to the Hengnong Living Garden. It has been on sale for four phases, with a total of more than 3300 households sold. According to the lowest sales price, the sales amount is HK$1.32 million.

It also adopts the method of early sales, and the first phase of the project is currently under construction.

As for the newly developed Hengnong Urban Starry Sky Project, the sales of the first phase have just been completed, and the preliminary publicity for the second phase of sales is being carried out.

A total of more than 650 apartments were sold in the first phase, with a sales amount of more than HK$2600 million.

The foundation for the first phase of the Urban Starry Sky Project has just been laid, but ground construction has not yet begun. "

After listening to the investment department’s introduction to Hengnong Group, Cao Zhihua seemed to have seen a big bomb.

As long as you do it yourself, this wave may blow up the property market in Hong Kong Island back to 10 years ago. It is estimated that the Hong Kong government will not be able to accept such a result. As for whether it will become angry, it depends on how much money you spend to settle this matter. .

Therefore, Cao Zhihua was not in a hurry. He had to make a name for himself and get everyone to take the blame together. Otherwise, he would bear the blame alone and be hated by others, so he continued to ask:

"What is the current situation of the companies that provide raw materials to Hengnong Group?"

"Chairman, the companies that provide raw materials to Hengnong Group have now been 100% acquired by various companies in the industrial chain alliance.
Now, nearly 90% of Hong Kong Island’s building materials-related production and sales companies have been acquired by our industry chain alliance.

The remaining ones are some street stores. The industrial chain alliance adopts a unified purchasing method from us.
In other words, all stores engaged in the building materials business in Hong Kong Island's building materials industry now purchase goods from our industry chain. In terms of supply channels, they have achieved a monopoly. "

Cao Zhihua nodded and said:
“Have you figured out where the materials used by these foreign real estate companies in building houses come from?”

"Chairman, the main purchase of cement for Yangxing's real estate company is from the Qingni Cement Factory. This is a Ying-owned cement factory. We in the industry chain want to acquire it, but we have been unable to do so.
If the river sand is purchased through Mr. Huo, it should be river sand from the mainland.

As for other building materials, they are basically provided by our industry chain alliance. "

Cao Zhihua thought for a while and said:
"You should contact the Industrial Chain Alliance, Hengnong Group and the four major foreign banks. For now, keep the status quo. Don't alert others.
Wait until I have sorted everything out before moving on, and ask them to wait for my notification.

This time it is enough to do nothing. If we move, we must capture the entire Hong Kong Island building materials market, and there must be no mistakes. "

Fang Yanyu heard Cao Zhihua's instructions and said seriously:
"Okay, Chairman, I will make sure to convey it properly."

Cao Zhihua looked behind him, lit a cigar, and took a few puffs.

He said to Li Shengnan:
"Mr. Li, we cannot fight an unprepared war.

We must also collect information on the four major foreign companies, especially their backgrounds behind the scenes.

Investigate as much as possible the connections and funds that can be mobilized. "

Li Shengnan said a little embarrassed:

"Director Cao, the foundation of our company is still too shallow. These are confidential information. We have not accumulated this information before.
It is really difficult to collect so much information suddenly. "

Cao Zhihua nodded in understanding and said:

"I can understand the difficulty, but if it's not difficult, you have to do it. If it's difficult, you have to do it. In short, I don't care what method you use or how much you spend. In short, you have to do it.

This matter is related to the life and death of the company, and is also related to the vital interests of everyone. Therefore, I hope that in future meetings, difficulties will not be mentioned. You only need to make requests.

To help you get things done, what kind of support do you need from the company?
Rather than asking me for difficulties every day, don’t I know the difficulties?

If it’s not difficult, why should I look for you?
You are all company elites. The company invites you here to solve problems.
I'm not here to ask questions. Mr. Li, do you have any questions? "

Li Shengnan was stunned by Cao Zhihua's sudden lecture.

But after calming down, I can understand the pressure Cao Zhihua feels now.

Just like Cao Zhihua said, the current situation here is about everyone's life and death, so Cao Zhihua is under the greatest pressure, so he said:
"Don't worry, Mr. Cao, I will definitely complete the task."

Cao Zhihua took a sip of tea to calm down and said:

"Okay, everyone, go and get busy with your work. I'm fine here."

After speaking, Cao Zhihua forced his eyes and leaned on the sofa to adjust his mentality.

Cao Zhihua feels that he has indeed had a mental problem recently.

I was full of confidence at the beginning, but I have become so confident that I don’t even pay attention to the four major foreign banks and Hengnong Group.
All I thought about was whether the Hong Kong government would interfere. Later, after being awakened by Lou Bancheng, I realized that I had no idea about the relationship behind the four major foreign banks.
The situation of personal connections and capital allocation was completely in disarray, and I began to become unconfident again, a little worried about gains and losses.

So Cao Zhihua felt that he needed to be released.

After taking a few puffs of cigarette, Cao Zhihua went directly to the top floor of Industrial No. [-] Building.

"Ah, isn't this our great chairman? Why are you willing to come see us today?"

Cao Zhihua was very thick-skinned and didn't care at all about his woman's teasing, and said:
"I'm in a bad mood today, so I came here to drink with you."

"Hey, our great Mr. Hong Kong's richest man still has bad days."

Cao Zhihua was not used to it, so he directly pulled him over and let him lie on his lap. After a few "snaps", he said:
"It's still skinny. If you don't clean it up in the first few days, you won't know how high the sky is."

"Ah, a gentleman talks but doesn't do anything. You are a swindler. Sisters, come out quickly, there is a scoundrel here."

Cao Zhihua watched the 7 designer girls from the design department come out hula-la,

happily said:

"Come on, come on, everyone, sit over here. I asked Xinru to inform the canteen and bring some wine and snacks. Come over with the fruits. Everyone will drink with me later."

"Chairman, I have designed a very sexy set of underwear. Why don't you give me some advice first?"

The company's early clothing designs were all designed and manufactured by Cao Zhihua and everyone according to the popular styles in the previous life. These designers were personally interviewed by Cao Zhihua and selected one by one.

In order to prevent these designers from being poached, we gave them high salaries and high commissions early on.

As long as everyone designs a set of popular items, the design commission alone will be enough to make these girls rich and free.

So every time Cao Zhihua comes over, he spends the most time looking at the clothing styles they designed.But today, Cao Zhihua had no thoughts at all. After the kitchen waiter brought the red wine, fruits, snacks, and cold dishes, Cao Zhihua asked someone to lock the door on this floor and said:

"Okay, okay, I won't look at everyone's design drawings today.

Today I will comment based on the actual effect of wearing it on everyone, okay?
Everyone, just hurry up and put on the suits you designed and have a look. "

The girls were not disappointed, and all went to change into sexy suits designed by themselves.

Cao Zhihua spent today among his girlfriends in sexy stockings, hollow outfits, sexy French suits, lolita outfits, stewardess outfits, nurse outfits, and student outfits.

Cao Zhihua's mentality adjustment is so simple and crude, he just thinks about nothing, pure indulgence, good wine, delicious food, beauties, dizzy and relaxed mind, enjoys it all, and is greedy for it all.

After enjoying it, Cao Zhihua's fighting spirit recovered.

For no other reason than for the enjoyment that ordinary people will never see in their lifetime, you can't lose, can you?
After coming downstairs from the design department, Cao Zhihua took the car directly home, changed his clothes, sat by the swimming pool, drank green tea, watched the sunset, sighed at the beauty of the world, and made up his mind.
You must not hesitate this time. No matter how difficult it is, you must safeguard everything you have.

Because once you give in, not only will you not let the hungry wolves around you disperse, but it will give people the illusion that you are strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

But as time goes by, there will only be more and more people rushing towards me to eat their flesh, and it will be even harder for me to deal with them.

I simply risked my life to fight them this time. With my current daily income, which is close to 1 million U.S. dollars in cash flow, I don’t believe that I can’t beat them.

After adjusting his mentality, one to many, and exercising for a day, Cao Zhihua didn't want to do anything at this time. Looking at the sea and sky in front of him, and the beautiful scenery full of red clouds, he felt the space energy replenishing the body's deficiencies, and his whole person felt warm. Fell asleep comfortably.

"Mr. Shen Bi, we didn't expect that things would get to this point.
But now we are willing to take a step back with the mediation of you and the Hong Kong government.
Our request is very simple, that is, Cao must give up the building materials industry alliance business and let us run it.
Then we will all live in peace from now on, watch Marseille, watch football, go out to sea, and go fishing together. Look, isn’t this great? "

Shen Bi took the fishing rod and sat on a chair on the edge of the yacht deck. He looked at the four people funny and said:
"Mr. Qi Dezun, is this what you call sincerity?"

Facing the questioning from his old friend, Qi Dezun said a little awkwardly:

"Mr. Shen Bi, this is the result of a joint discussion between our four major foreign banks."

Shen Bi shook his head speechlessly and said:
"If you go to talk to Cao with such conditions, based on my understanding of Cao, I estimate that you will come back disappointed.

Of course, if you want me to convey your meaning, I don’t care and will convey it to you. "

Seeing that Shen Bi was unwilling to help with the matchmaking, John Madden said:
"Mr. Shen Bi, we are all from the Eagle Country, and our interests are the same. We believe that if Mr. Shen Bi is willing to contribute,
Our demands are not excessive. "

Shen Bi looked at Madden speechlessly and said angrily:
"Just because I am from Great Eagle Country, I will only consider the interests of Great Eagle Country and HSBC.
Your ideas are too naive, and your actions are not in the interests of Great Eagle Country and HSBC.

Do you really think that Cao is just at your mercy? "

John Keswick said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Shen Bi, Hong Kong Island is the Hong Kong Island of our Great Eagle Country.
These economic interests should be controlled by the citizens of our Great Eagle Country.
Our approach is in the best interest of Great Eagle Country.

So please don't refuse. "

Shen Bi looked at the four people as if they were idiots and said:

“Do you know how much deposits Cao has in HSBC banks inside and outside Hong Kong Island?

More than 30 billion Hong Kong paper,

And he also has the same amount of cash in Citibank in the beautiful country.

Do you know how much effort the Hong Kong government has put in to get Cao to invest this money in Hong Kong Island?
Do you know how passive our situation will be once your behavior breaks out?

I tell you without hesitation that the Beautiful Country will protect Cao as soon as possible and let him immigrate to the Beautiful Country for development.

As for whether you want to use your family's accumulated wealth over the past century to compete with Cao, I'm free to do that, but don't expect Downing Street, the Hong Kong government and HSBC to come forward to help you.

No one will pay for your greed. "

John Keswick was not frightened when he heard Shen Bi's words, because what Shen Bi was talking about was an open secret and everyone knew it.
Everyone invited Shen Bi here today, just hoping that he would show his support for everyone.

"Shen Bi, now everyone knows what you said.

But you should know that Chinese people are very timid, especially rich Chinese people.
We just need a little pressure from you, we're intimidating,
I think these are not industries that are of Cao’s core interests, and he should give them to us.

After all, wealth needs to be shared, right? "

Shen Bi saw that these four executives were already obsessed with profit, and their actions were simply incomprehensible, and he didn't bother to explain anymore.
Recently, because of this matter, people from the north have been frequently contacting Lou Bancheng, obviously hoping to take this opportunity to draw their family over.

Although Lou Bancheng and Cao Zhihua were forced out by the environment in the north,

But if the top brass of Hong Kong Island come forward to suppress Cao Zhihua, there is a high possibility that they will win over him.

This is the richest man in Hong Kong who is influential and financially powerful in the world. Once things get serious,
Because the high-level officials of the Hong Kong government caused Lou Bancheng's family to be attracted to the north again, if the Chinese businessmen fled,
So what awaits the top management of Hong Kong Island is a major shake-up, which will also involve the replacement of all interest groups.

Thinking of this, Shen Bi no longer bothered to argue with the chief executives of the four major foreign banks, and said decisively:
"If you just need me to pass on your conditions, then I will pass them on to Cao.

As for your hope that someone can stand up and support you, I don’t think you need to make such plans.

Even if you engage in business war and go bankrupt, the Hong Kong government and we will not come forward to help you.

Take care of yourself. "

John Keswick's heart sank when he heard this, his brows furrowed, and he asked:

"Mr. Shen, our families have struggled for so many years and put in so much effort for the economic development of Hong Kong Island. Is there no room for this?"

Shen Bi looked at a few people with a sneer. Everyone was doing it for their own interests and talking about serving the country. Isn't this making everyone laugh?So he said decisively:

"The impact of this incident is too bad. The powerful people in Hong Kong are watching, the north is watching, Downing Street is watching, and even if it gets bigger, the whole world will be watching. I advise you to let this matter go. , there is no room for it.”
