Chapter 57 After eating the last two waves, it’s time to go back!
The longer I stay in London, the more bored I get.
Fortunately, I asked Zhong Chuhong to follow me here, which would make it more interesting.
This is, after all, a Western world, and Chinese people always feel out of place when they live here.
Perhaps, only in the small Chinatown can I find a sense of familiarity.
In the days that followed, Su Cheng would either watch the World Cup with everyone at home, go to Chu Xuanyu's Xiangjiang Friendship Chamber of Commerce for tea, or take Zhong Chuhong around the streets of London.
Soon, news came from Zhang Qizheng again.
After the details of the two oil companies were investigated, they both entered the negotiation stage. Zhang Qizheng tried to negotiate a lower price, which naturally Su Cheng didn't care about.
Although he said he didn’t care about the small sum of 13 million Hong Kong dollars, he would save it if he could.
In addition, regarding banks, Zhang Qizheng found information on three banks that had plans to sell them in Suzhou.
Sioux City ultimately chose a small bank called Bank of California.
This bank is not large in scale and has a history of only more than ten years. It was founded just before the last banking crisis.
Today, the bank's total savings are only a little over 10 million Hong Kong dollars, its business is not large, and it has basically no debt.
Competition in the banking industry in Hong Kong is too fierce, so the owner of Cali Bank, who is now in his seventies, thought of selling the bank after finding that he could not grow the bank after more than ten years of development. .
As for his selling price, Zhang Qizheng has already inquired about it, and it is around 20 million Hong Kong dollars.
This price is naturally very unfair.
Although Kali Bank has more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars in savings, these belong to its customers. Kali Bank only saves them for them, and they can withdraw them at any time.
The profitability of Kali Bank is not strong, and it only operates in the simplest form of lending and depositing money.
So, its annual profit is only more than one million Hong Kong dollars, and it is all made from loan sharking.
The reason why I dare to ask for such a high price is because the bank license in Xiangjiang is now precious.
The asking price was so high, even if Su Cheng had the money, he wouldn't be able to succeed. Anyway, he was not the only bank selling it, so he just asked Zhang Qizheng to lower the price to the lowest.
On June 17, Yu Xing finally investigated 8 companies.
Among these 8 companies, Su City finally decided to purchase 5 of them. They are from the five industries of logistics, property, media, supermarkets, and real estate.
To purchase these The total capital of the five companies is only about 6 million pounds.
Even though six million pounds seems very small, when converted into Hong Kong dollars, it is already more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to an average company's capital of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
Among them, the real estate company was the most expensive, with Sioux City spending two million pounds to buy it.
The reason why I bought this small real estate company is because it has a complete construction team and a piece of land worth millions of pounds in the suburbs of London, which is very cost-effective. Gao, the real estate market in London is still good and you can’t miss it.
As for the logistics company, Sioux City finally chose the logistics company that specializes in the route of Xiangjiang-Singapore-Paris-London, etc., because this logistics company is just right for Sioux City. In the future, products from Xiangjiang can be transported to Europe through this logistics line.
Media company, Sioux City finally chose a literary magazine. This is also convenient for Sioux City to publish novels such as "Harry Potter" and "Twilight Saga" through Xiaoai in the future. There is a distribution channel here. The property company Su City chose is not large in scale. It only manages the properties of a dozen buildings and has a total of more than 200 employees. For this, Su City feels that it is enough for the time being. London Su City The property of the Group's building was handed over to them. In the later development of the communities built by the real estate company, the property was indispensable.
Good properties are also very profitable. Later, there was a real estate company that built a very good property company. The slogan was to give you a five-star home. This directly made the properties of this brand sell well and became a A big real estate company that everyone knows.
As for supermarkets, Sioux City finally chose a commercial supermarket located in central London.
This supermarket is a single-family three-story house with a total area of more than 4,000 square meters. The house is also owned by the original owner. After negotiation, the transaction was finally sold for 1 million pounds.
The reason why we chose this supermarket is because Su City learned from Xiao Ai that in the next six months, two large residential communities will start to be built nearby and will be completed in two years. increase.
Of course, one supermarket is definitely not enough. Sioux City will let the European branch gradually chain supermarkets. This supermarket is the beginning.
In the next ten years, Sioux City hopes to have its own supermarkets spread across major European cities.
In this way, it can also drive the sales of home-produced products in Xiangjiang, killing two birds with one stone.
On June 18th, it was another ball game selected by Sioux City.
This game will be Argentina versus Brazil.
The result of this game was also very surprising. By the end of the game, neither side had scored a goal.
In other words, the final score will be 0-0.
This will definitely surprise most people.
When buying football, you either win or lose. Even if you guess they are tied, if you buy the specific score, you will rarely say buy 0-0.
Such a result is naturally that the gambling company is soft on winning money.
However, for today’s game, the seven gaming companies that were favored by Suzhou City were not so lucky.
I have bought from all B-level bookmakers, so this time I naturally chose to buy from A-level bookmakers.
This time, Sioux City bought 3 million pounds from each of the seven gaming companies, which means that it finally bought 21 million pounds.
0 to 0 magnification, 8 times, which is a relatively high magnification.
In the end, Sioux City won £168 million, minus 20% tax, leaving £134.4 million.
The reason why Su City bought higher than usual this time is naturally because the capital of A-level gaming companies is much higher than that of B-level gaming companies, and their affordability is much stronger.
On average, a bookmaker wins more than 10 million pounds, which also makes these bookmakers make a lot less money.
Of course, they will not lose money.
There are really too many people betting on the World Cup. Their funds, each or even most of them, exceed 70 to 80 million pounds. This money is in their hands, not counting the Sioux City bonus. , they even earn more than 90%!
After this time, Sioux City’s available funds reached a terrifying £200 million.
That’s 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars!
This is not a fixed asset, nor a virtual market value on the stock market, but real available cash!
After eating the last two waves, it’s time to go back.
