The Industrial Giant Reborn

Chapter 13 The Soda Factory Acquired

It is not surprising that the country is a second-hand dealer. Buying low and selling high is a very normal behavior. After all, no one would have imagined that the oil market that has been stable for decades will suddenly experience the fluctuations of today. At this time, the prices of materials that do not affect one's strategic plan have increased several times, so they can naturally resell them to make a fortune.

Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, "What does Mr. Smith think?"

"Yes, I think Dow is still willing to make this deal." Smith nodded and said, although he felt cheated, but in fact, even without this deal, other people would come to buy these plastic particles, It has nothing to do with him anymore. For him and even for the entire Dow Group, the most important thing is to form a long-term cooperation with the big northern country.

"At present, the international price of plastics has increased by almost 3.5 times compared with the contract we made at the beginning. I think, how about I transfer it to Dow at a 10% discount?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile on his face. Although he had prepared a large warehouse, But he still doesn't want the plastic shipped over.

At this time, I don’t have to worry about selling it, but it’s too troublesome and cumbersome to deal with. The Hong Kong government still has to go through a lot of procedures. It’s best to sell it directly to the original manufacturer at a discount. I only earn a little less, but it’s easy Yes, and the money back is fast.

"The price of 10% off is very good. I will apply to the headquarters. If I get an answer, I will inform Mr. Chen immediately." After thinking for a while, Smith said that petroleum products are in short supply now, and the ship is going to RB. The company will rush to ask for the goods, and the 10% discount price can also make Dow a fortune in it.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, Mr. Smith." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

The two discussed the international and Hong Kong situation again, and then Smith left.

An Qi came in and was about to tidy up. Chen Zhiwen took out a few business cards and said, "An Qi, call the office of these people. I want to find the person on the business card. If you get through, please pass it on to me. If they are in Overseas, let their assistants make an appointment, I need to make a phone call with them."

With the outbreak of the oil crisis, many of these agents in Hong Kong have left, and they are abroad. In the era without mobile phones, it is too troublesome to communicate, so the assistants of both parties can only contact each other first, and then make an appointment Time to talk on the phone, plus the time difference, if you can get in touch within two days, it is considered very fast.

"Okay, Chen Sheng, I'll go right away." An Qi agreed.

"The family is settled." After An Qi left, Chen Zhiwen lay gracefully on the leather sofa, and easily made tens of millions. The speed of making money through the wind is really amazing, but it's a pity that this is the only time in many years Opportunity, in the future, you still have to have your own industry.

In the next few days, Chen Zhiwen made appointments by telephone and communicated with Sino-Ocean telephones respectively, and reached an agreement on reverse monopoly with several companies that had previously reached deals. From the transaction price to the details, more detailed negotiations are needed. After all, hundreds of millions of funds are involved, and there are not many companies in Hong Kong that can make so much money a year.

Let’s not talk about how many times the profit can be earned. In this transaction, all the funds went to overseas banks. Galaxy Holdings opened accounts in several banks in Europe and the United States at the beginning of its establishment. These accounts belonged to Galaxy Holdings. Several companies registered in Bermuda.

In addition to tax avoidance, there is another important purpose, which is to keep HSBC from knowing about it. This is Chen Zhiwen's current development strategy. He needs to "seek refuge" with HSBC in order to obtain massive financial support in the future, but HSBC is not As a philanthropist, he needs people who can control his support, so Chen Zhiwen also has to pretend that he can only rely on HSBC. These hundreds of millions of funds will be his backhand, and may not be used, but whether it is used or not is one thing, and whether it is available is another matter.

On December 20, Shen Bi took the initiative to call and made an appointment with Chen Zhiwen at HSBC.

This is also the first time that Chen Zhiwen went to the headquarters of HSBC Bank, but it is not the building that cost one billion US dollars in later generations, but an office building with only 7 floors in Central, but it has a large area.

Led by the staff of HSBC, Chen Zhiwen came to Shen Bi's office on the sixth floor. The office is very large. Now Shen Bi is the general manager of HSBC. He has won the attention of the current top class Sanders and is a candidate for the future top class. most likely candidate.

"Chen Sheng." Shen Bi's Cantonese is very fluent. This is the foundation for British ghosts to work in Hong Kong. Although it is not mandatory, if you can't even learn local prophecy, you will basically have no future. of.

"Mr. Shen Bi." Chen Zhiwen smiled and shook hands.

"Please sit down." Shen Bi brought Chen Zhiwen to a tea table, greeted him with a smile, and made tea himself at the same time.

"Thank you." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile behind the teacup, Shen Bi has not yet become a senior class, if wait a few years, then there are probably only a few people who can enjoy this treatment, such as the governor of Hong Kong.

After taking a few sips of the tea leaves he made himself, Shen Bi said, "Sheng Chen, Huodoli has been in contact with Lijia for three months and has talked with Lijia more than a dozen times. Now Lijia has proposed a condition of 25 million Hong Kong dollars, and the entire United Soda Factory How do you feel about the land and land being handed over to you?"

"25 million!" Chen Zhiwen did not answer. Huodoli is an investment company under HSBC, specializing in investment advice, acquisition planning and other businesses. In the original history, when Bao Yugang acquired Wharf, he entrusted Huodoli with carte blanche.

In the past few months, Huodoli has been in contact with Lijia on behalf of the acquirer, and has also regularly reported the progress to Chen Zhiwen. At the beginning, Lijia was not willing to sell United Soda. Lijia is also considered one of the richest families in Hong Kong, and there is no shortage of money , Even if the soda factory loses money, it doesn't matter.

But then the oil crisis broke out, and Hong Kong's economy further declined. The output of the United Soda Factory itself was not enough, and even buying imported carbon dioxide became a troublesome thing, and the only way to sell soda in Hong Kong also led to a severe economic downturn in Hong Kong. , the number of customers has also dropped significantly. Coupled with the fact that land prices are still falling and the continuous contact with Dolly, the head of Lijia is not in good health. Due to the combination of various factors and HSBC's repeated attacks by Dolly, Lijia gradually wavered. From being resolute not to sell at the beginning to being tempted.

Shen Bi said with a smile: "If Chen Sheng considers the issue of funds, HSBC can also provide financial support."

"This is better, let's say 25 million. How much can HSBC support?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile. Several times, now that I can use other people's money, I will naturally use it.

As for the price, Chen Zhiwen still knows that in the original history, after the death of Li Xiaohe, Li Jia sold United Soda from Hong Kong to Hong Kong century giant Chen Songqing for 120 million Hong Kong dollars. built a building.

No matter what happens, buying land at this time is a matter of earning blood, earning more and earning less, and my beverage business should not be delayed for too long. You must know that after several months of debugging, Qin Zhihao's laboratory has found a solution that almost meets the requirements. The Red Bull drink that Chen Zhiwen remembers, and legally, has successfully registered its trademark globally, and the Long March has successfully entered the first step.
