Chapter 223 Invest in Port Terminal

This goose that lays golden eggs is Husky Energy Company.

Canada's largest energy company controls half of Canada's energy market.

Although oil prices are sluggish now, the energy market is not easy.

But when oil prices rise back, Husky Energy will be a cash cow in the next 20 years.

According to Canadian law, non-Canadian nationality is unable to control the country's energy companies.

So Xu Luo planned to let one of the women immigrate to Canada.

Li Jiacheng's son immigrated to Canada, which also has a certain relationship with the company.

Since Xu Luo is here now, this company is not as good as Li Jiacheng.

Moreover, the energy field is deep, so I am afraid that Li Jiacheng will not be able to grasp this, so Xu Luo can do it.

In addition to Husky Energy, a foreign goose, Xu Luo intends to invest in another goose - the port terminal industry.

This idea is not a whim, but the time is just right.

But today is a weekend, not a weekday.

I will talk to Chen Shurong until I go to work tomorrow.

When he passed by Central, just as he was thinking about the problem, Han Xiangdong, the co-pilot, suddenly said: "Boss, it's Miss Chen."

"What Miss Chen?" Xu Luo asked in confusion, leaning out the window and just saw Chen Shurong walking on the roadside.

In addition to her, there are assistants and bodyguards.

"Anna!" Xu Luo opened the car window and shouted at her.

Chen Shurong turned around and saw that it was Xu Luo, and replied with a smile: "What a coincidence?"

"Drink tea together?" Xu Luo asked her.

Drinking tea with others is a connection, and eating and drinking tea with colleagues and subordinates is also a normal social interaction.

Chen Shurong nodded, "Okay, since I met here, let's have some tea together."

Xu Luo got out of the car and met her.

In Central, if you want to drink tea, you must go to Lianxianglou, which junctions Wellington Street and Yabadian Street.

Although Lianxianglou is a branch of Guangzhou Lianxianglou, the two are already disconnected in their operations, and can only be said to be of the same origin and different branches.

In the early years, Hong Kong Lianxianglou would send people to the offices in Yide Road, Guangzhou to distribute dividends to shareholders every year. Later, due to political turmoil, he soon lost contact with Hong Kong Lianxianglou.

Therefore, in terms of business operations, Lianxianglou on both sides bears profits and losses.

Nowadays, shareholders in Guangzhou can only receive HK$200 in "fruit gold" every year.

In terms of eating, in addition to lotus paste and lotus paste cakes, some love their shrimp dumplings and roasted wheat, some love duck leg soup rice, and some love Babao duck.

Some people even love the house and the house for the beautiful tea, so they simply bought a set of teacups and teacups to go back.

After all, it is not seen anywhere else, it is a treasure.

Some directors also don’t know whether they received the sponsorship of Lianxianglou or wanted to smear Lianxianglou. In many movies, they can see a group of young and dandy drinking tea in Lianxianglou and then slapping the table and slapping friends.

Xu Luo and his group stepped into Lianxiang Tower.

Take the wide wooden staircase in the middle, climb up dozens of wooden steps, and arrive at the second floor.

I saw some old Chinese calligraphy and paintings hanging on the surrounding walls, old-fashioned wall clocks shaking pendulums on the wall, and old-fashioned ceiling fans on the roof whizzing and circles.

There is no waiter here, so the tea guests have to find their own seats, and there is no VIP room.

And the feature here is table merging.

Regardless of whether you know or not, you can sit down as long as you have a seat.

It just happened to be today and Sunday, and the teahouse was very lively.

It can be said that people are crowded with people.

Each table is surrounded by men, women, young and old. When pushing a dim sum cart by hand, you should make a sound reminder to prevent burning guests.

Just as a table of guests stood up and left, Xu Luo, Chen Shurong and others hurried to occupy the table.

After sitting down, Chen Shurong and Xu Luo looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"Do you rarely come here to eat?" Xu Luo asked Chen Shurong.

Chen Shurong smiled and said, "I am busy at work. If I want to eat, I will call them to deliver it. As for Sunday, I don't live here, so there is no need to come here to eat."

"That's true." Xu Luo nodded.

The waiter brought tableware and tea, remembered what they ordered, and then turned around and worked hard.

Xu Luo leaned toward Chen Shurong, who was beside him, and said, "How is our investment in a port?"

"Where are ports that can be invested in now?" Chen Shurong asked in confusion, "Has the major wharfs been divided long ago?"

Xu Luo shook his head: "I'm not talking about Hong Kong, but Shenzhen."

There are now two ports in Shenzhen, one is Shekou, and the other is Yantian Port, which has just formed a development project.

In 1979, the Shekou Industrial Zone was established. In order to make this industrial zone operate, a wharf was built along Shekou.

As we all know, container terminals are the foundation of a country's foreign trade, as long as the world's business remains unstoppable.

Then the business of container terminals has always existed, and the prospects of this industry are infinitely good.

Therefore, more than a dozen Hong Kong businessmen, including Li Jiacheng and Boss Huo, who have a keen sense of business, realized that this was a huge business opportunity and expressed their willingness to cooperate in the development of Shekou Port to China Merchants Group, but were rejected.

There are many different opinions on the reasons for the rejection, but later, according to the rejector's recollection, he regretted rejecting these merchants.

And Xu Luo wanted to invest in Yantian Port.

Yantian Port and Kowloon Peninsula face each other across the sea, next to it is Meisha, Big and Big, and Shatoujiao to the west.

The most important thing is that the water depth of Yantian Port is about 16 meters. The waves are small, there are no silt or freezing. The sea surface is wide. There are hills in front of it to shelter from the wind. It is a natural deep-water harbor.

Shenzhen had already planned to develop this port at the end of last year and set up a project team to make a detailed plan.

However, an important condition for starting port construction is to have funds. Port construction often costs billions, and it is difficult to start without funds.

Mr. Gu supports this project, but he has no money and believes that it must be included in the national plan to have the opportunity to develop.

So the project team plans to submit a report to the Science and Technology Commission for applying for a low-interest loan next month.

Therefore, it is the most appropriate time to intervene now. It is not appropriate to not get the time too early and it is not appropriate to be too late.

The right time to donate, and the time when Boss Wang left office happened to be next month.

It is not an exaggeration to ask Boss Wang to accompany him to walk around at this time.

He was not the only one who didn't want to make a name for donating money in his early years, but some people who were still watching but donating money one after another also asked not to speak out.

Because not being ostentatious does not mean that no one knows it, and it does not mean that there is no desire or demand.

Even if you don’t take the initiative to ask for some tricks, there will be corresponding policies when doing certain things.

But if you take the initiative to ask for it, it will change the quality. It is like a transaction, which will give people the feeling of selling something.

Therefore, how to maintain these social relationships requires superb emotional intelligence and means.

The ship king's $10 million donation was finally undertaken by the old man. Although he didn't know who handled his donation, the old man would definitely know.

Because of the century-old plan, education is the basis.

In addition, the plan to develop Yantian Port will definitely be reviewed by the Ministry of Transport, the Planning Commission, the National Science and Technology Commission, and higher-level units.

Although I don’t know if he can get his name done, I have to talk first before I know it.

However, Xu Luo does not intend to provide a loan. He does not have this business. What he wants is 50 years of shares in the port.

Because he always keeps up early when doing business without profit and enters all kinds of things.

To put it bluntly, the port business is also a rent collection business.

Once the port is built, you have to pay yourself for the goods and ships entering and leaving.

Commercial real estate will experience a low tide with the flow of urban population. Only the port industry will almost never change, not to mention that there are very few harbors that can be used to build international container terminals.

These ports become very scarce resources, and once they occupy a position, it is difficult for others to replace them.

Moreover, this industry is almost difficult to subvert and can have long-term and stable cash flow.

There is already a Hutchison Whampoa in Hong Kong that is eyeing the wharf, so Yantian Port inevitably becomes the first piece of Xu Luo's layout of mainland ports.

Anyway, such a business cannot be given to Li Jiacheng.

We must crack down on other capitalists.

Chen Shurong suddenly realized, "When you donated 350 million US dollars, I thought you were so arrogant. I didn't expect that you were still a capitalist. If you were in the past, you would be hit hard."

"Of course, I have to hit the capitalists hard, but since I am also a capitalist, I can only hit the other person hard." Xu Luo smiled and took over the conversation, "If I don't hit the other person, how can I become bigger and stronger?"

He did not have the awareness of Mr. Zhuang, so what he wanted was not the only port like Yantian Port.

This is just the first step.

Chen Shurong thought for a moment, "You shouldn't just plan to build this port, right?"

Xu Luo shook his head, "Of course it's not all. The reclamation of Central is just a preliminary plan to show our strength to the Hong Kong government. Next, I plan to apply for the development of Kwai Chung Container Terminal."

He added, "HIT (Hong Kong International Container Terminal Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Hutchison Wharf) has always valued the terminal very much, and we cannot leave it alone."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shurong couldn't help but smile, "Li Jiacheng hates you so much! I heard that you still take out the Hong Kong lamp from time to time and shake it with the Hong Kong phone and say he has no money."

"If you suddenly announce that you will develop the Kwai Chung Container Terminal, I suspect he might be going to worship God or hit villains."
