These two families have big businesses, and basically have their plans for the most profitable projects in Xiangjiang. Although Wu Qianqian explained the bank's operating rules, Zhu Xuefeng still didn't believe that a mere tens of millions of dollars would make them unbearable, and actually proposed such a A shameless request.
“Sir, at the end of last year, there was gossip that the country was going to take back Xiangjiang, which caused some well-informed people to withdraw their capital first, and some people have secretly left with all their property.”
"Is this happening?" Zhu Xuefeng was a little surprised. If so, it is possible.
"Well, sir, although these people are not many in number, they are all rich people, and they carry a lot of wealth."
"I understand, they all made money here. Yes, I'm afraid of accidents. "Every time there is a disturbance, the first batch of people to run away are the rich. This has been the case since ancient times, and it will be the same in the future. There is no need for those who have no money to run away. If there is another one, they will not be able to run away even if they want to.
Wu Qianqian continued, "Now many real estate projects have been affected. These two companies first had a large amount of funds withdrawn, and then there were problems with their loan projects. I think it is not blind that their money is tight. Editor."
Zhu Xuefeng just smiled. There was indeed this episode in history, but he couldn't remember when it was. He thought it was next year, but he didn't expect it to come this year.
After this rumor seemed to have spread among a few people for a while, the Hong Kong government had no choice but to come forward to clarify it. But the result of the clarification was even worse. The middle class who were not very clear at first were now frightened. More People run away with their families and families. In this way, a landslide in the real estate project in Xiangjiang should be around the corner.
"Master, this is a rumor, right?" Wu Qianqian has a lot of contact with the country and has never heard of this news at all. However, there is indeed a large-scale replacement of senior military officials on the other side, which makes her a little confused. allow.
"Of course it's a rumor. If you really want to take it back, you took it back more than ten years ago. Forget what I told you. Don't worry about it. Control the funds on hand. In the next few years, we will probably be bargain hunters. And when picking up leaks.”
Wu Qianqian still remembers what her master reminded her. Starting around 1965, real estate in Hong Kong began to plummet, which lasted for several years, causing many banks to face the risk of bankruptcy. It seems that this time it may be the source.
"Then how do we reply to these two foreign banks?"
"You decide for yourself. You can make your own decisions on such things in the future, including the bank acquisition you have always wanted to do." Zhu Xuefeng did not make any suggestions and directly returned the decision-making power to Wu Qianqian.
Wu Qianqian is not entangled in this issue. She has been in this position for several years. It is not difficult for her to deal with this kind of thing. She knows that the master is training her, but since the master means to completely delegate power , then let the master see what he can do.
"There are still a few things that I need to make up my mind about, but I'm not sure about this." Putting aside the matter of foreign companies, Wu Qianqian felt the master's emotions and then reported.
“Tell me, if you’re not really sure in the future, you can make your own decision. It’s okay if you’re wrong.”
Zhu Xuefeng’s mind is no longer on the construction of Xiangjiang’s business model. This time I didn’t even plan to visit the newly opened large shopping mall. Instead, I used the site in Tsuen Wan to build a comprehensive shopping mall, electronics mall, clothing supermarket, food court, as well as restaurants, accommodation, various entertainment venues and office buildings. The Sex Building Group consists of three buildings in total, with a leisure plaza in the middle. In fact, it is the model of commercial plazas in later generations, but it seems very novel now.
In fact, it is a bit inappropriate to open this project at this time. Because of this rumor, Xiangjiang's economy will be negatively affected for many years and consumption power will decline. However, after Wu Qianqian heard Zhu Xuefeng's description of the square-style real estate project, she decided to With the support of the Hong Kong Governor, she obtained a suitable land in Tsuen Wan. She had been eager to try it out, so she left it to her. Tsuen Wan was developing rapidly and it was indeed lacking a landmark business center.
"Sir, it's like this. After the Spring Festival this year, there will be an additional motorcycle on the market in Xiangjiang. We checked and found that it is produced in Shencheng..."
It turns out to be from Shencheng. With the help of the Ministry of Commerce, Motorcycle wanted to explore the international market. Now it has contacted many third countries, but the demand is very small, so it turned its attention to the Hong Kong market.
This matter was discovered by Chen Dong's younger brother. Chen Dong took matters into his own hands and directly asked Inspector Liang to come forward to strictly control the Kowloon area and not allow them to sell in this area. The reason was that there was no after-sales service.
The business districts in Xiangjiang are mainly concentrated in the main island and Kowloon. Now, the Ministry of Commerce should be unable to sit still.
"The Ministry of Commerce is looking for you?" This news was really unexpected. Zhu Xuefeng almost forgot about it. He didn't expect that the drawings he handed over would now become his competitor.
"Well, they came to me a few days ago and wanted us to take on their after-sales service." Zhu Xuefeng had to admire the minds of these people. While Dongsheng Company was selling Dongsheng motorcycles, it also had to help its competitors. .
This is letting Dongsheng Company fight against itself, but Dongsheng Company seems to have to accept it. Who allowed you to bear the title of a patriotic businessman and get countless conveniences and support in the country? Zhu Xuefeng understood Wu Qianqian embarrassment.
"Then take it. We don't expect the Xiangjiang market. It doesn't hurt to give them some share. They are also earning foreign exchange for the country."
Dongsheng Company's motorcycle sales market is mainly concentrated in The other side will definitely not be able to enter economically developed regions such as North America and Europe. Dongsheng Company has completed its layout in the more economically developed regions of Southeast Asia, and some countries with low demand are preparing to expand. Now that the Ministry of Commerce has come forward, they will give in.
Besides, the current profitability of small pedals is far inferior to that of heavy motorcycles, so the impact of losing a part of the market in Xiangjiang will be very small.
"Master, are you really giving in like this? This is our base camp?" Wu Qianqian was still a little unhappy. Although it was for the sake of the country, the other party's move was too rude.
"It doesn't matter if you give in, let's do it. The biggest market in Asia is Fuso. We can't enter it, and they have no chance. Then there are Wanwan and Nanbang. We have already occupied this place, and they will go too. No, let the development of other small countries take its course and focus more on the peninsula and Eastern Europe.”
In the trade between the Middle East and Eastern Europe, with the active participation of the prince, the two cooperative trading companies have now achieved some good results, which can be regarded as opening up a new trade route. Wu Qianqian is also in charge of this matter. Wu Qianqian finally understands. The master gave in and closed his eyes silently without any objection.
"Then let me remind Chen Dong not to make trouble for others."
…
The research progress of several research laboratories in Xiangjiang makes Zhu Xuefeng very satisfied. With the strong support of domestic high-end talents, the progress is indeed very fast, especially the breakthrough in battery technology, which allows many subsequent ideas to be realized in advance.
“Boss, I have to go down and digest what you said, and then find someone to implement it.”
Hu Yuhang could only lament the boss’s creativity, a breakthrough in battery technology, the boss actually proposed He was greatly inspired by the applications of so many new electrical appliances.
“Don’t just focus on those electrical appliances. The applications I mentioned about power tools and electric shavers are just a few examples. You can think more about other places where they can be applied. , I'm just helping you to open up your ideas." During this study abroad trip, Zhu Xuefeng accidentally met the originator of the electric shaver, and then he learned that this thing existed in Germany in 1915. Although it was clumsy and crude, it was deeply loved. European men are welcome, there is no way, their hair grows too fast.
Now that his side's battery technology has achieved a breakthrough, Hu Yuhang should be able to dig into the market for these power tools, and there should be good profits.
Without planning to stay too long in Hong Kong, Zhu Xuefeng was ready to leave, but an unexpected invitation forced him to stay and take Wu Qianqian to the Hong Kong Governor’s dinner. It must be said that the news about the Hong Kong Governor He was still very well-informed. He had just walked around outside when the old knight got the news.
The rapid development of Dongsheng Company has caused Zhu Xuefeng's status in the heart of the Hong Kong Governor to rise rapidly. This was the second time that the Hong Kong Governor took the initiative to invite him, who had never shown up to meet him before.
The old knight still had his usual sense of humor and expressed a warm welcome to the arrival of the two men. Zhu Xuefeng looked at the respectful servants. Except for an old man, there were no other guests. He realized that this was a typical Private dinner.
"Husband, that is Mr. Charman." Wu Qianqian introduced in a low voice, and Zhu Xuefeng understood that this was the economic consultant who had once been one of his own.
Perhaps to show respect for Zhu Xuefeng and the other two, the old port governor wore a traditional Chinese dress, looking solemn and elegant. Zhu Xuefeng was a little surprised. The workmanship was too familiar, but it was not what the two of them were familiar with. The two sets given to him were suitable for summer, while his old consultant was wearing a suit and leather shoes and looked energetic.
“Oh, my God, welcome to you, good evening both of you, dear Miss Qianqian, and our mysterious Mr. Zhu, thank you both for taking the time to attend today’s dinner, I hope to be with you both Enjoy this wonderful night.”
The kind smile and warm words seemed to show the elegance of this old knight. Wu Qianqian bowed and returned the gift. Zhu Xuefeng was also wearing a designer dress. Zhu Xuefeng just took a step forward and kept his attitude. At a suitable distance, he handed over a small gift box. According to Scottish etiquette, it is best to bring some suitable gifts to the dinner. This is a snuff bottle selected by Zhu Xuefeng himself. This person should like it.
Sir unexpectedly took it, and Zhu Xuefeng reached out his hand again, "Hello Sir, it's an honor to see you again." The two hands held each other gently.
“I didn’t expect that the mysterious Mr. Zhu, whom I haven’t seen for several months, actually learned the etiquette of us Scots.”
“I have been in Europe these past few months, and I have such a good opportunity. , Of course, learn about the culture of your hometown."
With one sentence, the mood of the two people was aroused. Jazz no longer had the elegance just now, but smiled heartily.
The lights in the dinner hall were bright, but there were only four people in the huge dining room. The servants were waiting far away, and the long dining table was full of Scottish flavor.
"Old Charman, please come and introduce the two distinguished guests."
Old Charman also stood up with a smile and introduced one by one. It seems that the Hong Kong Governor is It took a lot of thought,
Haggis, known as Scotland's "national dish", as well as Scottish salmon, a Scottish pie made with lamb, nutmeg and gravy, and several steaming plates BBQ, some desserts and wine.
Wu Qianqian looked worried at the table full of meat dishes. Except for one dish of fish, the others were all chopped mutton and beef, mixed with onions, oatmeal and spices. It smelled spicy. , the dessert actually has the smell of whiskey wafting around. As a woman who was born in Guangdong Province and lives in Xiangjiang, these delicacies are a bit out of line.
"Miss Wu, don't worry, as long as you taste them, I think you will like them."
Seemingly seeing that Wu Qianqian was in trouble, Mr. Charman smiled said.
"Old Charman is right, beautiful lady, you will definitely fall in love with them, I promise." The old Sir seems to be extremely confident in the delicacies of his nation and highly recommends them.
Wu Qianqian also realized that she seemed to be a little rude, and she quickly smiled and expressed it.
"Dear Sir, I am also very greedy for these delicacies, but I just suspect that these are too rich for the four of us."
Sir happily invited the waiter to share the meal while explaining, "I have missed the taste of my hometown for a long time. Thanks to your airline, I can taste the taste of my hometown in the far east."
"Sir, I I have to remind you that this is the airline for all of us." Zhu Xuefeng's rude interruption did not arouse the resentment of the two old men, but once again gained Sir's friendship and started a pleasant communication.
The old Hong Kong governor shared his deep feelings and unique insights into Hong Kong over the years, which inspired the two. Old Charman provided the two young people with his rich experience and wisdom. Some valuable advice.
A few people reviewed the historical changes and prosperity and development of Xiangjiang together, and also looked forward to the opportunities and challenges in the future. The dinner gradually came to an end with laughter and laughter.
Farewell to the two old men, they walked leisurely on the street, with the Silver Cloud car following not far behind. There was no need to worry about the security of the island during this period in Xiangjiang, although it was already night.
"Husband, it's such a pity. We just got along well with the Hong Kong government. I didn't expect that he would leave."
"Yes, I didn't expect that the old Sir would invite us. Come, it actually means saying goodbye."
Zhu Xuefeng couldn't remember how many years this old knight had stayed in Xiangjiang. He only heard about his name when he came to visit Xiangjiang later. It seemed that the people of Xiangjiang thought highly of him. good.
Looking at the colorful neon lights and a few vehicles around me, and then looking at the moonlight and lights on the other side, the shadowy figures, there is only one Victoria Bay across the bay, but they are two worlds. What is missing is a bridge, old Jazz is a bridge connecting Xiangjiang planned by Zhu Xuefeng, but unfortunately it has to leave before it is completed.
"It's okay. Our current wealth is far beyond what we could compare to before. No one in our place can ignore our existence."
Zhu Xuefeng has this confidence. Although many things seem to be easier to communicate with when the old jazz is here, the current size of Dongsheng Company determines that they have the right to speak on many matters.
The governor of Hong Kong will be replaced in two months at the earliest, but the old Mr. Charman will stay. He will have to supervise the operation of the airline as the representative of the Jazz. Although the Jazz has not made additional investment, he will not Although he doesn't mind the dilution of his shares, as his largest asset investment, the old Jazz is still very optimistic and believes that this investment will definitely allow him to enjoy his old age.
