Fermentation has begun on the German side, and the British are closely following. If this matter cannot be properly resolved, both the Bao family and the Zheng family will be cast aside by the world. Of course, HSBC's losses will be even more severe, after all, they endorsed the matter. This is a battle that none of the three can afford to lose, and of course we will go all out!
Seeing that the timing was almost, Bao Zixuan made an appointment with Li Chaoren. For the sudden invitation of the richest man, Li Chaoren felt incredible. Although I don't know what it is, it must be related to Bao Yugang and Zheng Yutong. Zheng Yutong may not care, but at this time Li Chaoren does not want to completely offend the charter king.
Could it be that Bao Zixuan wanted him to make a choice? It was not impossible. But this is not the time to make a statement, and we can only take one step at a time. The Black Cloud Group is very powerful, but because the richest man Bao and Bao Yugang completely fell out; of course, Shen Bi will also hate him, whether it is worth it or not, Li Chaoren is very entangled.
It is with this idea that Li Chaoren came to the meeting place.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Li Sheng, long time no see. Suddenly there is something I want to negotiate with you, so I didn't bother you!"
This time he asked Li Chaoren to meet, of course he had to arrive early. This has nothing to do with status and wealth, it's just a matter of basic courtesy.
Li Chaoren said with a smile, "Not everyone has the honor to be invited by Bao Sheng. Besides, nothing has happened recently. The bank has already sorted it out. All these are thanks to Bao Sheng's great help."
Bao Zixuan didn't want to talk nonsense with Li Chaoren, and said directly: "Li Sheng, this time to invite you here is mainly about matters related to Hutchison Whampoa."
"At present, several Hutchison Whampoa projects are underway, but they are far from meeting my expectations. If the company wants to develop rapidly, it must not follow the steps. Therefore, if I want to do a big project, I don't know how Li's business is going."
As the company's second largest shareholder after Bao Zixuan, Li Chaoren still has to respect him. At the same time, the other party is very commendable in terms of management. Although his education is not high, he is definitely much better than himself. To bear the pressure, but also to share. Moreover, all of them are owned by internal employees, and no one can supervise them. At least it is difficult to gain the trust of the public.
Calling him here turned out to be a matter of Hutchison Whampoa. Li Chaoren is also a busy person. Unless a board of directors is held, he will never go to the company. Although Bao Zixuan likes to act arbitrarily, he can see some clues from Bao Huo Dong's company. But he will never make a fuss about the accounts, which is why everyone wants to work with him.
And his shares are insignificant compared to the entire Black Cloud system. Bao Zixuan has absolute right to speak on the board of directors. Too much in the past is not good. Wouldn't it be better to make a fortune in silence.
I just didn't expect to find him suddenly today to carry out a big project. The richest man Bao can say that the project is very big, and the investment scale must exceed 10 billion yuan. Coupled with the other party's investment vision, it is still very exciting.
Li Chaoren said with a smile: "Bao Sheng is the company's largest shareholder, and most of the remaining shares are held by Heiyun employees. And from your point of view, I absolutely believe it. So don't say anything about negotiation, you decide. Just fine."
That being said, the surface work still needs to be done.
Bao Zixuan: "Li Sheng, please don't say that, everyone wants to seek benefits for the company, and some things need your cooperation."
"I am going to issue new shares. This time the scale is 50 billion Hong Kong dollars. I don't know what Li Sheng thinks."
I heard that the other party wants to issue new shares, and it will be 50 billion Hong Kong dollars. Li Chaoren felt incredible, after all, this scale is really too big. With the current market value of Hutchison Whampoa, plus the status of the richest man, it is about 50 billion Hong Kong dollars. This is equivalent to directly multiplying the company by two, which can be said to be very risky.
When it was acquired, it was only 5 billion Hong Kong dollars; it is already a myth to be able to reach this scale. 50 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash, what does this kid mean. Plus the current company cash reserves and bank loans. The project is absolutely not small, and may even exceed 100 billion.
Issuing new shares means that shareholders have to provide funds before, otherwise the shares will inevitably be diluted. Li Chaoren recently wanted to take the opportunity to acquire a few pieces of land in the new world. But if you don't come up with funds, your Hutchison shares will inevitably decrease. This is a difficult choice, and I really don't know how to decide for a while.
Li Chaoren said in surprise: "I have no opinion on the issuance of new shares, but is the scale of 50 billion too much? It is equivalent to building a new Hutchison Whampoa company, and the public may not fully trust it."
Since Bao Zixuan wants to issue new shares, no one can stop it with the proportion of the Black Cloud family. But Li Chaoren didn't want to take out too much money all at once. If he could issue a little less, the funds that need to be prepared would naturally decrease. Just after the acquisition of Wing Lung Bank, Li Chaoren was not so wealthy at this time.
Bao Zixuan: "Li Sheng, let's be honest. Whether the citizens of Hong Kong will buy new shares this time is not that important at all. The employees of the Heiyun Department will actively buy, if they are not worried that they will not be able to use so much money at one time; the original plan was 100 billion yuan. Hong Kong dollars. And this project is indeed not small, and in the future, you can just sit and count the money.”
This kid's ambition is really big, but now I can only agree. It is better to mobilize some funds first, and it is best to dilute some less; if it is not possible, there is no way.
Investing in Hutchison is optimistic about Bao Zixuan. But it must not affect the Li family's own investment plan, which is somewhat worth the loss.
Li Chaoren said with a smile: "I have no problem here, just follow Bao Sheng's plan. I just don't know where Bao Sheng wants to invest. If it is a commercial secret, I don't ask."
Hearing Li Chaoren's answer, Bao Zixuan was still very satisfied. It seems that the old man also knows how to be a good shareholder. And still agree first, and then ask for specific projects; it takes a lot of courage to show that I completely believe in you.
Even if a person is rich, money is not blown by the wind.
As a shareholder, the company has major investment projects; even if you still need to ask, it doesn't matter if it is inconvenient not to answer. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Li Chaoren doing this, at least Bao Zixuan still admires it.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile, "Thanks to Li Sheng for his trust and support. As a major shareholder of the company, there is no inconvenience. We have a cooperative relationship, and we all hope that the development of the company will get better and better."
"This time, I mainly want to invest money in the mainland. It is planned to build 50-100 CBDs in mainland China, including shopping malls, restaurants, leisure, entertainment and other facilities. At the same time, it is necessary to have a five-star hotel. The Dou family has reached an agreement, and their family will invest."
"There are also high-end office buildings and high-end residences. In short, where is the most central and most prosperous area of a city."
Li Chaoren has been operating real estate for many years, and of course he knows what CBD means. Moreover, I personally went to the United States to investigate, and I once wanted to get one in Hong Kong. However, it was found that the required funds could not bear it at all, and it was finally settled. Unexpectedly, Bao Zixuan was going to build 50-100 houses in mainland China. Is it a big step?
Li Chaoren thought for a moment and said, "I support Bao Sheng's decision very much. With the development speed of China mainland; even if we don't have an advantage now, the future is definitely promising."
"It's not just the start-up stage. UU Reading must see the benefits immediately. I believe that even if it can't be profitable in 10 years, it will be in 20 or 30 years!"
The old boy sees it very clearly, no wonder he can occupy the position of the richest man for a long time in the places where there are many tycoons in Xiangjiang.
Bao Zixuan: "It's comfortable to be able to work with Li Sheng. We thought of it together. In the future, in mainland China, I hope that all major cities will spread a word. There is only one center in the city, and that is Hehuang Square."
Li Chaoren was very excited when he heard it. He didn't expect that the other party had even wanted the advertised words. He definitely had a mature plan. Did he invest something in the mainland Hehuang Square? However, this requires follow-up, after all, the project has not officially started at this time.
The company has reached an agreement to increase its capital and shares, and it also knows what projects. But Li Chaoren felt that things must not be so simple. Rare earth mineral bonds, however, are facing a serious crisis. With Bao Zixuan's character, he would never miss such a good opportunity; the reports in the German media are likely to come from his handwriting.
The Li family also holds shares in Jiangnan Rare Earth Mining Company. If there is a problem in Nanyue, will other places have problems as well. It's not that there is no such possibility, after all, only Bao Zixuan understands this.
