Chapter 061 High-end players
If Zhou Yang is a cheating player, then Bao Yugang is a VIP treatment player. Zhou Yang relies on the talent and skills of the "prophet" to know the answer to the exam in advance. Bao Yugang relies on his own strength to let the invigilator speak the answer.
Since the late 1970s, Hong Kong's future issues have become increasingly sensitive among the local elite. Especially since all the land in China is state-owned, Hong Kong real estate developers will be somewhat frightened after hearing this.
If China also implements mainland policies after taking back Hong Kong, then they are likely to become nothing.
But at this moment, Bao Yugang did the opposite, selling the ship that could be driven away at any time, and transferring the industry to Hong Kong real estate that could not be moved.
As a business tycoon who started from scratch, Bao Yugang was naturally not a brainless reckless man. As early as 1978, shortly after the second generation came back, Bao Yugang quietly went north to the capital.
Shortly after that, the Bao family began to sell ships in large quantities, and at the same time, they took over the shares of Hutchison Whampoao and defeated Jardinet the next year to completely take control of Hutchison Whampoa.
So, you can taste it carefully!
When Bao Yugang first went north to the capital, in order to cover up his eyes, he flew to RB first and then transferred from Tokyo to the country. Hong Kong people don’t know much about this. The reason why Zhou Yang can understand it so clearly is of course because he read Bao Yugang’s biography before traveling through time.
According to the biography, Bao Yugang met with the second generation almost every year before his death. His close relationship with domestic senior management is comparable to that of Huo Yingdong in Hong Kong, but Bao Yugang is not a "red capitalist".
While he had a close personal relationship with the second generation, he was also a friend of the British Prime Minister Iron Lady. As for how deep the friendship between the two was? When Bao Yugang died later, Thatcher specially sent his son and husband to fly from the UK to Hong Kong to attend his funeral.
If Thatcher hadn't been too sensitive to going to Hong Kong in person as the former British Prime Minister, she would have been too sensitive to attend Bao Yugang's funeral in person.
I can only say that Bao Yu was a real high-end player just now and Zhou Yang needed to learn from the future.
Because Zhou Yangneng understands the political attitude of the Bao family, it is not difficult for him to convince the Bao family. Zhou Yang did not go directly to talk to Mr. Bao Yugang himself, but asked Xu Jing to come forward and help him make an appointment with Wu Guanzheng, the second son-in-law of the Bao family who is in charge of the business in Whampoa.
When Zhou Yang was communicating with Wu Guanzheng, he briefly explained the current difficulties faced by Deep Sea Urban Investment Company, and combined with the case of Donghu Liyuan, he introduced the profit prospects of investing in Deep Sea Real Estate.
Finally, he begged the Bao family to support reform and opening up and the Deep Sea Special Zone.
In 1979, who painted this circle by the South China Sea? So when Zhou Yang invited the Bao family to buy land to develop real estate in the Deep Sea Special Zone, what reason does the Bao family have to refuse?
On the fifth day after Zhou Yang met with Mr. Wu Guanzheng, Hong Kong Qionglou Real Estate Company signed a cooperation agreement with Hutchison Whampoa. The two parties will jointly establish a new company with a share of 40% to 60% of the equity, which is specifically responsible for the development of real estate in the Deep Sea Special Zone.
The first piece of land acquired by the new company is located next to the deep-sea railway station, covering an area of about 15 mu, with a total land price of HK$50 million.
30% of the funds required for the bottom of the gap will be loaned to the newly established company by the controlling shareholder Hutchison Whampoa in the form of low-interest loans, and the remaining 70% will be loaned to the bank.
"Are we a little over it? We ask others to help and share half of the profits of others?" Li Mingde felt incredible about the terms of cooperation that Zhou Yang and Hutchison Whampoa finally agreed.
"Haha, Lao Li, you are not a qualified businessman. You are not a shady heart and not thick-skinned enough!" Zhou Yang sat in Li Mingde's office and said to Li Mingde, who had just returned to Hong Kong from the Special Administrative Region.
The office space located in Aiqun Building, Wanchai, was just rented by Qionglou Real Estate, and the office space located in Aiqun Building, Wanchai has just begun to be renovated. However, Qionglou Real Estate is about to start expanding its business, so it naturally needs a temporary office space, so it borrowed a small site from Zhongjian Building to spend a few days.
Although Li Mingde is the chairman of Qionglou Real Estate and the nominal leader of the company, his actual role in the company is the lowest.
For example, this time when discussing cooperation with Hutchison Whampoa, Zhou Yang and Xu Jinggan went to talk to each other, and Li Mingde was only responsible for the final signing. In the eyes of others, Li Mingde, the chairman, has been completely undermined by his subordinates, but he did not care at all.
Because for the Special Administrative Region real estate companies, the shares in Qionglou Real Estate are almost free to be picked up. What's more, Li Mingde feels that he is not as good as Xu Jinggan in industry experience and is not as smart as Zhou Yang in intelligence, so he joined Qionglou Real Estate Company with a learning attitude from the beginning.
But Li Mingde never expected that such a good thing as making a fortune in vain could happen to him again and again.
"We have estimated that if the land next to the train station sells the property at a floor price of HK$350 per foot, the gross profit will be HK$20 million. Even if the Bao family only takes 60% of the profit, it will still have a gross profit of RMB12 million.
Although Hutchison Whampoa has taken over the loan difference of that land, their actual investment is only about 15 million yuan.
In other words, if the money has been invested for two years, the gross profit margin is 80%. What else can Mr. Bao Yugang be dissatisfied with this performance?" Xu Jinggan explained from the perspective of return rate.
"Now the interest rate on bank loans is so high, most of the profits are swallowed up by banks, and the rate of return is not as outrageous as you said!"
Because Deep Sea Urban Construction is preparing to issue US dollar bonds, Li Mingde has been very concerned about the issue of financing costs recently.
"Which real estate company is not a high-interest loan, you have to learn to compare horizontally!
What's more, we ourselves are not as worthless as you think. Do you really think Xu Jinggan and I are both suckers? We are giving you 70% of the equity of the Special Administrative Region Real Estate Company for free?
Not to mention anything else, Hutchison Whampoa has never invested in the mainland before, and has no clear understanding of the various differences between the SAR and Hong Kong.
Our addition can be used as a lubricant to reduce various frictions caused by differences in laws, regulations, social systems and other aspects during project development.
For example, in the perception of Hutchison Whampoa, the larger the scale of the cooperative construction company, the stronger the general construction efficiency, cost control and other aspects.
But if they follow this standard and go to the mainland to cooperate with state-owned construction companies, they will invite a group of old men back if they are not lucky.
.We workers are powerful! If you still have to be under the command of your capitalist, I will be late and leave early. If you dare to fire me, try it!
But we are different. Just look for those fast and good team companies, and their offer prices are often lower than those of state-owned enterprises.
When Bao Yugang was doing shipping a few years ago, why did he go to different shipyards around the world to place tanker orders? If he specializes in finding one or two large shipyards to reach a long-term cooperation agreement, will the price of building tankers be much more favorable?
In fact, the reason why Bao Yugang distributes ship orders around the world like a goddess scattering flowers is actually paying protection fees to various countries in disguise.
Lu Xun said: The little nun monk can touch it, why can’t Ah Q touch it! So we hold 40% of the shares in the new company, and there is no problem at all!"
Zhou Yang didn't think he was really too much. Maybe Qionglou Real Estate was a huge profit this time, but the Bao family would definitely not lose.
