The longer I stay in London, the more bored I become.

Fortunately, I asked Zhong Chuhong to come with me, so it would be more interesting.

After all, this is 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, but Su City naturally didn't care.

Although he said he didn't care about the small sum of HK$13 million, 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 finally 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 just over 10 million Hong Kong dollars, its business is not large, and it has basically no debt.

The competition in Hong Kong's banking industry 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 expensive.

Although Cali Bank has more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars in savings, these belong to its customers. Cali Bank only saves them for them, and they will withdraw them at any time.

The profitability of Kali Bank is not strong, it only operates through the simplest form of lending and depositing money.

Therefore, 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 shout 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 money, he would not be allowed 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, Yuxing 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.

The total funds used to purchase these five companies are 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. The price/performance ratio is very high. In the London real estate market

It’s still good and can’t be missed.

As for the logistics company, Sioux City finally chose the logistics company that specializes in the route of Xiangjiang-Singapore-Paris-London, because this logistics company is just right for Sioux City. In the future, Xiangjiang's products can be

Transport to Europe through this logistics line.

As a media company, Sioux City finally chose a literary magazine. This will also make it easier for Sioux City to have a distribution channel in Europe when it publishes novels such as "Harry Potter" and "Twilight" through Xiaoai.

.

The property company chosen by Su City 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 also directly made the properties of this brand basically sell well, becoming

A well-known real estate company.

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 communities will start to be built nearby and will be completed in two years. By then, the population nearby will increase dramatically.

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.

June 18th 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 to 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 0 to 0.

Such a result naturally means that the gambling company will be soft when it comes to winning money.

However, for today's game, the seven gaming companies favored by Sioux 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.

The magnification of 0 to 0, 8 times, is a relatively high magnification.

In the end, Sioux City won 168 million pounds, minus 20% tax, leaving 134.4 million pounds.

The reason why Sioux 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 gambling company wins more than 10 million pounds, which also makes these gambling companies make a lot less money.

Of course, they will definitely not lose money.

There are really too many people betting on the World Cup. Each of their funds, or even most of them, exceed 70 to 80 million pounds. With this money in their hands, not counting the Sioux City bonus, they even earn 90%

Above!

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 is it a virtual market value on the stock market, but real available cash!
Chapter completed!
