Chapter 240 : Not good, smashed! (3/150) Ask for a monthly pass(1/4)
Walking next to Yoder, Sean didn't know how he could control himself without killing this idiot with a single shot!
What the hell is a surprise?
It was Sean who had given surprises to others before, and this was the first time he felt the horror of surprises!
Lorraine, a professional agent, was heart-beating at this moment. She didn't call Yoder a fool, she just called Sean a psycho.
If you want to do dirty business with Yoder, you can't tell it clearly in private without getting a formal note through the U.S. consulate.
The momentum was borrowed, but the person was also exposed!
Isn’t this a mental illness?
Opposite, looking at the young man walking in side by side with the Governor, Shen Bi kept blinking his eyes and frowning more and more. Why did he feel that this figure looked so familiar?
I seem to have seen it somewhere.
Why is it that when I see this figure, I feel a burst of unknown fire in my heart, and I want to hit someone crazily?
Could it be that you were angry because you met the terrorists yesterday?
Made yourself grumpy!?
Entering the hall, Yoder personally helped Sean introduce everyone in front of him, "This is David Ake-Jones, Chief Secretary."
After introducing the senior officials of the Governor's Mansion, he walked to Shen Bi again.
"This is Shen Bi, the president of HSBC Bank. He is known as the 'big boss' in Hong Kong Island and the God of Wealth in Hong Kong Island."
"Hello!" Sean kept a smile on his face and reached out to shake Shen Bi's hand.
The moment they shook hands, Shen Bi's expression froze slightly, this damn familiar feeling came again!
Sean naturally felt Shen Bi's body reaction, which startled Sean. He was afraid that Shen Bi would suddenly point at him and shout that this guy was a 'terrorist'.
Of course, you can't do anything to Sean even if you shout. There is no evidence or evidence. Not to mention the Rockefeller family, Sean himself is not a vegetarian!
What's wrong with the British? That fellow Soros almost killed the British by speculating on the pound. The British have to suffer.
The key is that it will be very embarrassing, and it will completely ruin Sean's purpose this time.
This is worth much more than several hundred million.
After the introduction, there was another tea party, which was considered afternoon tea.
It wasn't until he was a child that Sean sat alone with the Governor...
After all the pleasantries had been exchanged, Sean went directly to the topic, "I only speak for myself. I personally feel that the country that poses the greatest threat to the United States in the future must be the north. Therefore, I personally think that Mr. Governor's actions have no question."
Yoder was stunned. He didn't expect Sean to directly mention what happened yesterday. After all, he was an old politician. The expression on his face remained unchanged and he said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Sean, for your approval."
"I feel that I can have more cooperation with Mr. Yoder."
"for example?"
"For example, when Mr. Youde returns to the mainland and continues to work in politics, I am willing to support your election." Sean stared into Youde's eyes and said: "For example, Mr. Youde's son is fine. If Mr. Youde is not prepared to enter politics, Then I am willing to do some business with my husband. I think we have a wide range of cooperation space."
Yoder understood immediately after hearing this, "Then how can I help Mr. Sean?"
"Kwai Tsing Container Terminal!" Sean smiled and pointed in the direction of Kwai Tsing, "I know that the Hong Kong government is reclaiming the sea to build roads and building Kwai Tsing Container Terminal 678. Moreover, the terminal is not for sale yet."
"This..." Yoder's expression changed and his brows furrowed deeply.
Due to the reform and opening up in the north eight years ago, export volume has skyrocketed, and the construction of the Shenzhen port cannot keep up with the crazy development of foreign trade demand. At this time, Hong Kong Island was already the largest transshipment port in Asia, and a large number of transshipment industries naturally moved to Hong Kong Island.
Faced with this situation, the British Hong Kong government reclaimed the sea and built roads in the Kwai Chung area to prepare for the construction of No. 6, 7, and 8 Container Terminals based on the original 5 container terminals.
By last year, that is, in 1985, the throughput of Kwai Tsing Container Terminal successfully ranked among the three largest container ports in the world.
According to this development momentum, this year it will surpass New York and become the second largest city, and next year it will surpass Rotterdam and become the first largest city in the world.
As long as these three container terminals are taken over, then in the next 20 years, this will be a super cash cow that cannot be ignored at all, and will continuously produce countless US knife music for Sean.
Currently, Piers 1, 2, and 5 are: Modern Terminals Group, whose holding company is Wharf Group, the charter king.
Pier 3: Port of Singapore Authority Holdings
Pier 4: Hong Kong International Container Terminal, the holding company is Ho's Hutchison Whampoa Port Group, and the Port Authority of Singapore
(PS: Cucumber Li was changed to Mr. He in the movie because of Hutchison Whampoa)
"I'll be honest with you, Mr. Sean. There are actually people operating these three ports. I believe Mr. Sean can also find out who it is." Youde spread his hands. Although he was polite, his meaning was obvious.
If the original historical development is followed, Container Terminals 6, 7, 8, and the future Terminal 9 will all be taken over by HIT, the Hong Kong International Container Terminal Company controlled by Ho's Hutchison Whampoa.
Now, Sean is ready to intervene in advance.
"I know He is the richest man in Hong Kong, but no matter how close he appears to be to Downing Street, he is Chinese after all." Sean said nonchalantly: "Besides, it's not that I look down on him."
"Well, I just look down on him. I think I have the right to look down on him."
"Can he keep these ports?"
"Can he handle the pressure?"
"He can't do it. You know he doesn't have the confidence."
The corner of Yoder's mouth twitched. He couldn't bear what Sean said so bluntly, but, okay, he had to admit that Sean was right.
In front of Rockefeller, he was nothing but a cucumber!
Sean picked up the coffee and took a sip. After putting it down, he continued: "Everyone in Downing Street understands what Downing Street means."
"In 11 years, this place will no longer belong to the United Kingdom, and the influence of the north is gradually expanding. I think it is in line with Downing Street's policy to introduce the power of the world's largest country to Hong Kong Island to jointly resist the pressure from the north."
"As for He, the richest man, his so-called operations are not worth mentioning."
"What do you think, Lord Governor?" Sean raised his hand to signal.
Youde opened his mouth and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. He has great influence on Hong Kong Island. The Hong Kong government often needs the cooperation of these rich Chinese people."
"That is what other Hong Kong governors need to consider later." Sean said bluntly: "This has nothing to do with you, sir, does it, Mr. Yoder, you don't have much time left!"
"And after you return to the UK, can the richest man He provide any help?"
"He can't, but I can, Rockefeller can!" Sean stretched out his fingers and tapped the table hard.
"In the end, it was Rockefeller who took over these ports. Are you dissatisfied? Hey, dissatisfied, look at each one!"
"Okay, okay, I think there is nothing wrong with the Hong Kong government." Youde was convinced by Sean's words. A smile bloomed on his face, and he stood up and shook hands with Sean.
An agreement was reached and both parties were happy.
The first thing Sean asked was the price of these three ports to be built.
Sean definitely has no money.
Damn it, I don’t know where the money for the TV station is coming from.
But, can you see such a big piece of fat slipping away from your mouth without money?
Can you do nothing if you don’t have money?
no way!
"The three wharves are only government projects because they are used for reclamation and road construction, and the construction costs are very high. The Hong Kong government has invested 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars." Youde explained to Sean: "In terms of selling price, Mr. He is currently in
It is estimated that the final price will be around HK$2.3 billion."
Sean:???
The government spent 1.5 billion to build it and then sold it for 1.3 billion?
What the hell kind of logic is this?
Yoder seemed to see Sean's doubts and shrugged with a smile, "After taking over the port, it will still require a lot of investment and construction, as well as a lot of personnel expenses. The government cannot run it. You know, corruption problems will be very serious.
serious."
"As for selling it at a low price, the Hong Kong government can still receive a large amount of tax revenue every year. This is the most important thing."
Sean's mouth twitched, "Very good, this is very capitalist!"
Sean remembers that this will be the busiest terminal in the world in the future. Even 20 years later, when the port in Shenzhen City next door catches up, the transfer price of a single terminal here will exceed 2 billion.
Dollar!
Damn it, no wonder Cucumber is the richest man!
"Can I know who helps this richest man operate?" Sean was shocked. What a talent!
"You just met the boss of Hong Kong Island, the God of Wealth, the president of HSBC Bank, Mr. Shen Bi." Youde smiled mysteriously. Except for this person, no one else has this ability.
Sean suddenly realized that in the legend of Cucumber in later generations, it was the boss Shen Bi who lent money to Cucumber to acquire Hutchison Whampoa shares from HSBC.
In the end, he became the majority shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, sending cucumbers to heaven.
This was 6 years ago!
Now this guy has to help Hutchison Whampoa acquire several newly built terminals. Damn it, this guy is closer than his own father.
If they weren't about the same age, Sean would have suspected they were father and son.
Well, HSBC actually owns 11% of Hutchison Whampoa shares.
