Chapter 592 Cooperation with Swire Real Estate
John Shi Huaiya smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, Yang Sheng. My last request will definitely benefit both of you and me. This is about your and my beverage industry and sugar industry."
"Let me tell me." Yang Wendong asked;
If it is a business that benefits both sides, you can naturally consider it. Not to mention that the company of Swire cannot acquire it in the future. Even if it is its own target, if the current cooperation is beneficial, then you can naturally agree.
John asked with a smile: "I know that Yang Sheng has invested a lot of land in Malaysia and is preparing to transform it into a sugarcane farm?"
Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed the case."
His cooperation with Guo Henian was a cooperation between two private companies. He did not have the obligation to announce it to the public and did not want to talk about it everywhere;
However, with Guo Henian's large-scale investment in Malaysia and the large number of Watsons employees in Hong Kong participating in the development, the news was naturally gradually leaked. It involves such a large-scale investment, and it is impossible to do it when the investment is implemented. To conceal outsiders.
"I admire Yang Sheng's courage. I, Swire Group, dare not invest in such a large-scale land in Southeast Asia." John said.
Although I am a British-funded enterprise, this does not guarantee that my investment is absolutely safe in some uncertain places; even if the security is fine, I cannot guarantee whether there will be a return in unfamiliar places;
Foreign-related investment, even American capital, is often vomited blood by losses, but there is nothing we can do about it.
Yang Wendong said, "Why do you mean? Want to invest in Southeast Asia with me?"
From the perspective of anyone, your investment is indeed too risky, but the core lies in Guo Henian, the future Asian sugar king, who has no doubts about his ability in the entire sugar production industry chain;
If it weren't for the cooperation with Guo Henian, even if you know that Malaysia's future investment environment is safe, you will not invest in agriculture and you will definitely lose money.
John shook his head and said, "No, I want to lock in some of your future sugar futures orders."
"This is OK, I'm happy to cooperate with any client." Yang Wendong nodded and said.
Large-scale grain trade is actually very rare in case of urgent needs. Most of them sign contracts in advance, or purchase futures orders in the international market, or even the original intention of futures is to help sell agricultural products;
< br>
The essential reason is that industrial products and oil can be stored, but agricultural products cannot be stored, and they will be damaged after being stored for a long time. No country can afford this loss, so the contract system and futures were born;
The same is true for sugar. The country's trade is basically a futures system. This is why a few years later, the mainland was seriously short of sugar. After finding the sugar king Guo He Nian, he was powerless for a short time. Later, he still used a lot of tricks. I secretly bought some and sold them to the mainland at a low price.
John smiled and said, "Okay, my beverage factory will negotiate with Watsons for how much the amount and price involved."
"Okay, I will also say something to Watsons." Yang Wendong replied;
The bosses of both sides just decide whether to cooperate, so there will naturally be a subordinate to take charge of it later. If the price is about the same, the two only need to know or sign it in the end. If the price is still not agreed, the ball will be in the hands of the two.
This is actually not a big cooperation, but industrial cooperation can be said to be very long-term and is possible for decades. In total, this amount may be much larger than a real estate project.
Seeing that today was going well, John Shi Huaiya asked again: "Yang Sheng, Swire and Watsons are also competitors. I hope our future cooperation will not be affected by these."
"Of course, how big is the beverage market? What do we count as?" Yang Wendong shook his head and smiled: "As for Coke OEM, we are just coolies. Coca-Cola and Pepsi are competitors, and we are not considered to be."
The global beverage industry scale far exceeds Hong Kong's GDP. Their beverage businesses are just a drop in the market;
In the future, Red Bull may become one of the giants in the beverage industry, but Swire will not. In the next few decades, it will still be a Coca-Cola OEM factory. Even though the size of the mainland market is not small, it is far from comparable to Red Bull. Not on the same level;
In this case, it is naturally not a competitor. The area of my own sugar planting is huge, and I will also need stable customers in the future. John Shi Huaiya nodded and said, "That's good. I hope we can develop peacefully in Hong Kong in the future. There is no need to conflict over some small businesses."
The last time Swire Group missed the container terminal was because, as a foreign company that mainly trades overseas, they probably knew the current strength of Changxing Group and did not dare to fight head-on;
This time, after learning that Yang Wendong wanted the former site of Blue Chimney, he made a favor. Anyway, he would sell it to anyone he wanted;
"No problem." Yang Wendong paused and asked again: "John, I know that Swire Group does not accept investment. I don't know that your other businesses are not considered for cooperation with other capital?"
John Shi Huaiya's face changed and she said cautiously: "Catholic Pacific does not accept investment, and the same is true for shipping. I, Swire, actually operated well in other internal businesses in Hong Kong, but if the conditions are appropriate, you can also consider it."
"Haha, I won't participate in aviation and navigation." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "I know that Swire Group has established a real estate company. I want to invest in this. What do you think?"
Cathay Pacific Airways can be said to be the lifeblood of Swire Group and the foundation for Swire to dominate Hong Kong. Except for the land where British capital in Hong Kong has a large number of buildings in Central, no other business can be compared with it;
In addition to aviation, Swire Group's maritime business is also very good. With the Suez Canal, you can make a lot of money as long as you have an old ship.
Yang Wendong is not prepared to invest in these two businesses, and it has it on its own. Although aviation has been making huge profits, it is about to have an oil crisis, and there is nothing to do. Swire itself cannot sell Cathay shares;
< br>
In history, if Dragon Airlines had not been backed by the mainland, it forced Swire to give up some of Cathay Pacific shares to state-owned assets and plan to go public.
"Swire Real Estate?" John Shi Huaiya thought for a while and said, "Yang Sheng, Swire Real Estate's current shares are not ready to be sold, but Swire Real Estate has a lot of land to be developed, and I am also planning to cooperate with China Capital. If Yang Sheng is interested, You can also send someone to come, and we will negotiate to see which projects can be cooperated with."
"That's fine. I will let the people from Changxing Real Estate go there." Yang Wendong nodded and said.
In fact, if a British-funded real estate company cannot successfully acquire shares, it will not be cost-effective to acquire shares;
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Because these British ghosts know almost nothing about real estate, they have a lot of high-quality land in vain, but their development profits are extremely low and even lose money. This is why, in history, Li Jiacheng took action against Hutchison Whampoa, which is really worth HK$5 billion. As a result, because he cannot operate the land, the market value of the land is only 1 billion yuan. In this case, Li Jiacheng will not take action on other Chinese capitals.
Swire Group controls 100% of Swire Real Estate's shares, so just cooperate to develop the land directly;
In the Hong Kong market, British capital and Chinese capital jointly develop land, which is basically the land that is unearthed by British capital. Chinese capital contributes to the joint venture. After the joint venture, the land will be raised first to buy the land, so that the British capital company can get cash and return the capital, and then after the joint venture is operated, the joint venture company will first raise funds to buy the land. Half the profits each.
With this model, it seems that British capital has made more than half of it, but in fact, the boss is the one who controls operations. He just does something in the middle, and the group of British capital waste doesn't understand it at all, and the process is absolutely legal.
Furthermore, as long as the low price does not fall, China Capital will almost not pay a penny and make a part of its profit in vain, which is already a big profit;
The rise of many Chinese giants in the 1980s has a lot to do with the model that British capital insisted on.
After the meeting with Shi Huaiya, Yang Wendong called Zheng Zhijie and informed him of the cooperation content;
Zheng Zhijie said: "These cooperation is OK, both parties can make profits, but it's not clear why Qi Dezun is willing to give up part of the equity. It is estimated that Swire Group has given a lot of benefits."
"You'll know if you ask." Yang Wendong said, "Let him come to my side tomorrow. Hutchison's market value has recently exceeded 1.5 billion, so you can also celebrate."
As in history, Qi Dezun is very capable, and Huang's stock has been rising sharply in his hands, although the bubbles are also very big.
