Chapter 638 Investment in the British market
Bryan said cheerfully: "Mr. Yang, if you want to invest in real estate or some financial assets in the UK, as long as it is suitable, I will definitely support it."
Standard Chartered's business in Hong Kong has grown extremely fast over the years. The core reason is that it has cooperated with Changxing Group in many fields, even in some Southeast Asian countries;
The senior management at the headquarters naturally knows this. Although they do not know some core data, Yang Wendong's industry's potential and asset quality can be confirmed. It is definitely the top-notch, and it can even be said to be almost risk-free.
Whether it is manufacturing, real estate, shipping, finance and even internal services, almost every industry has developed very successfully and is on the most suitable development node. This also makes many people believe that Yang Wendong's vision is very accurate, and even a lot of capital follows Yang Wendong's investment direction, but many industrial industries do not have the strength.
As banks, they are naturally willing to serve such high-quality customers, with almost no risks and great funds for cooperation. Even if their investment in the UK is losing money, such large consortiums generally will not cut off from the bank because of losses in one project, otherwise it will affect their future cooperation with other banks.
Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Okay, this time in the UK, our group is preparing to invest in a five-star hotel, and in addition to appropriately acquire some local companies, Standard Chartered Bank needs to be the intermediary for us to find the goals I need."
The business of Four Seasons Hotel also needs to expand. Now there is one building in Hong Kong and Singapore each operating, and the second building in Hong Kong and one building in Los Angeles is currently under construction;
This large hotel, when it could only be built by itself in the early stage, its development was very slow, so he is also planning to build one in Europe, as a sample of cooperation with European local capital in the future;
In the future, he and the group will have a lot of investment in the UK in the future, and his group will also come to the UK for business travel frequently. It is also more convenient to have a hotel of his own;
In the future, any big city that needs to be visited for a long time can build a hotel. Anyway, this kind of business will basically not lose. One is that the market demand will become higher and higher in the future. The second is that the real estate growth in large cities may not be as outrageous as Hong Kong, but it is generally not bad, and the future growth of mainland China will be above Hong Kong.
Brien smiled and said, "Five-star hotels are not enough in the UK nowadays and cannot meet market demand. It will definitely be cost-effective to invest at this time. I wonder if you can choose the right location and how big you want to build?"
"This is not certain at the moment, but it should be in central London. If it is big, it depends on how large the land and floor area ratio can be purchased." Yang Wendong said again, "If possible, I also want to build a large one. "
Although Britain will decline in the future, this is inevitable. The efforts I have tried now are just to look back at the last moment;
But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if it declines again, it will still be the world's top developed country in the next few decades. After all, the wealth collected by colonizing the world for more than a hundred years is also amazing, and it will take some time to squander it.
London is the core of the UK's economy, and in the future it will be one of the three major financial centers in the world. Financial business alone can guarantee the huge amount of local wealth;
Building a five-star hotel here, as long as it is not too poor in operation, it will basically not lose money. Moreover, a large local service hotel can also drive a large amount of employment, and even if there is the opportunity to cooperate with local capital to build a franchise hotel in the future, it will be more in line with his interests.
Bryan nodded and said, "I understand, let's do it, Mr. Yang, I, Standard Chartered Bank, also cooperates with the real estate industry in the UK. There are still some channels for information on this aspect. I can ask you where the location and area of the land meet your requirements and then you can choose. How about it?"
If you want to win a high-quality loan project, the bank also has to work hard. After all, for banks, the person who borrows is a big customer and the foundation for their own company to make money.
Although Yang Wendong is here to Standard Chartered now, he will definitely not only tell himself this kind of thing. Everyone will choose more partners and then choose the most suitable one.
Yang Wendong smiled and said, "Okay, if that's the case, it's the best. My people actually came to the UK for inspection a long time ago. I will arrange for them to come to find you." It's not a sudden interest to come to the UK to invest. In fact, he was considering this matter around 70 years ago. After all, behind a large consortium, it is the most suitable, or even the only one. Otherwise, can he, Hong Kong capital, still invest in the United States, Germany, and France? Who wants you?
So, he arranged for people to investigate various economic conditions, real estate conditions and other data in British society very early. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, he will master it first.
"Okay, I will definitely cooperate well here." Brian asked again: "In terms of financial acquisition, it is also the specialty of our bank. I wonder what company Mr. Yang needs to acquire in the UK?"
Yang Wendong said: "What I want to acquire is some technical electronic companies, such as those related to home appliances and entertainment appliances. The scale must be medium, and they must have their own R&D capabilities, or they already have some fame in the market, which meets the strategic development needs of my Honor Electronics."
Although R&D in Hong Kong is certainly the long-term goal of Honor Electronics, if you want to achieve this, even if you can succeed in the short term, your R&D capabilities will be limited, especially the number of talents in electronics, engineering, and mathematics itself. A few college students or capable social groups have been absorbed by the Hong Kong financial and real estate industry.
In this case, acquiring a peer with some ability overseas is a good choice. In the past, many local home appliance companies in the mainland also made similar commercial actions in order to enter the overseas market, in order to enter the overseas market, to acquire some medium-sized brands in Europe and the United States. This way, you can directly obtain some channels and technologies, and thus re-ed up their parent brands. For example, Geely acquired Volvo in the automotive industry. Although the intermediate process was difficult, it was finally successful. Geely obtained a lot of Volvo's technology, even overseas channels.
Brien nodded and said, "I understand Mr. Yang's needs. It's just that such an acquisition target without a clear target will take a long time to screen, and then you need to try to contact the other party. This will be difficult to make any progress in the short term."
"I know, so this matter is not very urgent." Yang Wendong said with a faint smile: "Relatively speaking, the most important thing is to invest in the UK."
In fact, the game industry is about to explode. As long as Honor Electronics seizes this opportunity, it will have enough funds to expand, which is why it has the idea of preparing to acquire a suitable British company this time;
Otherwise, although Honor Electronics was considered a large enterprise in Hong Kong, it was just a medium-sized scale compared to international standards. If it did not have enough hematopoietic ability, then even if the boss Yang Wendong was rich, he would not sponsor it to make large investments in industries without the prophetic ability. This is not cost-effective.

Even in the future, Best Buy Electronics Retail Supermarket in the United States wants to have enough capital to continue to expand, on the one hand, it has to borrow American finance, but it also has to have enough money-making ability, which also requires relying on the gaming industry.
If Honor Electronics' game industry is large in the United States, even if the US antitrust agencies do not look down on such small industries, they may be targeted. Therefore, at this time, Britain needs to stand up appropriately, at least to stand up for the industries under its colony. Even if there are not many things that can be done, it will be very useful.
Everything is a ring, mutually utilizing, mutually benefiting, and mutually promoting development.
