How could Xiao Qi be so moved by Li Chaoren's words that he would then pat his chest and say something as big as "What do I have to tell you?"
The young man's thinking is originally beyond this mortal world. If it weren't for the fact that he is Chinese and has a kind heart, it would be difficult for him to use his skills outside of the money-making circles.
If he wants to save the entire Hong Kong stock market or finance, Xiao Qi thinks that he does not have the ability, and he is not the national government, so where is his turn to worry about it?
It is enough if you can take good care of yourself and your family and do the good things you can do to the best of your ability.
If you reach out randomly, it will cause many unpredictable problems.
So he just drank tea calmly and waited for Li Chaoren's next words.
Li Chaoren sighed in his heart, this kid is just a loach, he doesn't look like a young man at all. It seems that the relationship with him is still not friendly enough!
Thoughts passed by in a flash, but Li Chaoren did not change his expression. He just smiled and said: "Qi Shao, if the Hong Kong stock market reaches a deadlock and is about to plunge into a panic, can I ask you to do something?"
"Uncle Li, please speak." Xiao Qi nodded and said.
"The leading stock in Hong Kong is my Cheung Kong Group." Li Chao said, "If the situation is in crisis, I hope you can buy the shares of our Cheung Kong Group. It doesn't need to be too much, only 5% -
Just 10% is enough. This will be of great benefit to boosting the confidence of the entire Hong Kong stock market. You will also do a lot of good deeds!"
The Hong Kong stock market is naturally much healthier than the mainland stock market.
As a super-large aircraft carrier group with a market capitalization of nearly HK$1 trillion in the Hong Kong stock market, Cheung Kong Group has always been the benchmark for Hong Kong's stock market.
If Cheung Kong Group goes up, the Hong Kong stock market will go up.
Cheung Kong Holdings fell, and the Hong Kong stock market naturally fell in response.
If when the stock market plummets, Cheung Kong Group has the world's richest man, the genius boy Xiao Qi, buying a lot of money. Then this kind of economic excitement will definitely be like a shot in the arm, greatly alleviating the anxiety of Hong Kong stock investors.
Panic.
Although it may not be able to stabilize the stock market, it is absolutely impossible for it to continue to plummet like it did in 1997.
Falling sharply, falling sharply, and falling sharply again, is very damaging to your vitality.
Judging from the current subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, the keen Li Chaoren has already noticed that a larger-scale financial crisis is just around the corner, and Asia will definitely be affected by then.
The Hong Kong stock market is not as strong as the mainland, Japan and other stock markets, and it does not have much real economy to support it. The foundation is too weak. If we talk about the damage, it may be even more miserable than Thailand, Singapore and the like.
Xiao Qi thought for a while and said nothing.
After all, the stock market is a place for commercial activities. Since you have joined, in addition to making money, you must also consider losing money.
The Hong Kong stock market is of course no exception. If you join this game, you must be willing to admit defeat and have the mentality to accept failure. Otherwise, simply don’t come in.
When you make money, you laugh happily, but when you lose money, you need someone to save you. How can such a good thing be possible?
Xiao Qi had no interest in playing the role of a savior. What's more, Li Chaoren wanted Xiao Qi to pay the price just by relying on the words "immeasurable merits". He was underestimating the young man.
To put it bluntly, this is completely different from charity and disaster relief, and has nothing to do with "immeasurable merit".
Everyone is smart.
When Li Chaoren saw that Xiao Qi was silent, he immediately understood that he was waiting for him to throw out a bargaining chip in exchange.
Usually in the business world, there must be benefits to hiring someone to do something, even if it is between relatives.
Not to mention that Li Chaoren not only wanted to give the Hong Kong stock market a shot in the arm, but also planned to invite Xiao Qi to his chariot. How could Li Chaoren kill two birds with one stone and only allow him to do so?
Benefit?
Only through mutual help and mutual benefit can we do business for a long time.
Of course Li Chaoren understood this. However, he did not fail to take advantage of Xiao Qi's youth and pay a lower price.
Unfortunately, after this confrontation, Li Chaoren finally saw clearly that Xiao Qi was indeed a little fox, not an ordinary technical genius at all, and was very sophisticated in his behavior.
"Of course, I won't let you work in vain, Master Qi." Li Chaoren smiled slightly, "Master Qi, you know that Hutchison Whampoa has a chain store called Watsons, right?"
"Know."
Xiao Qi's heart moved, but on the surface he was calm and calm.
"If the financial crisis affects innocent people and becomes difficult to recover from, the second move I will prepare is to separate Watsons and list it in Hong Kong to boost everyone's confidence in the Hong Kong stock market." Li Chaoren said calmly,
"If Qishao is interested, I am going to sell 37.5% of the shares to Qishao for a total price of HK$30 billion. What do you think?"
Of course it’s good!
Xiao Qi was delighted, it was indeed like this!
The Watsons brand was established as early as 1828. It is a similar type of chain store to 7-11, except that they mainly sell cosmetics, health products, beverages, etc., and most of their attractions are daily necessities, and
Not the food aspect of 7-11.
This year is 2007. Watsons has a total of 7,000 stores and pharmacies around the world. The 300th branch in mainland China was also opened in Jinling, Jiangdong two months ago.
But in the following few years, Watsons expanded rapidly.
By 2013, a total of more than 13,000 stores and pharmacies had been opened around the world, of which 1,500 were opened in mainland China, making it the well-deserved number one in the industry.
At that time, Singapore's state-owned investment company Temasek Group spent HK$44 billion to buy 24.95% of Watsons' shares, which was more than double the current price.
This is just an equity transaction before it is listed. Once it is listed, the value will double or triple. It is not an exaggeration at all.
Xiao Qicai was thinking about what he would use to make up for the gap in private money between Feng Kexin and Li Shaozhi. Unexpectedly, Li Chaoren gave him a pillow.
"Uncle Li is so polite." Xiao Qi laughed, "It is my unshirkable duty to help Hong Kong compatriots!"
What a little fox!
Li Chaoren sighed inwardly, but became happy again.
On the surface, Xiao Qi seems to have taken advantage, but how big of a gimmick would it be for a company with Xiao Qi as a shareholder?
Let’s just talk about Watsons. If we don’t put it on the market and hype it into a 300 billion big company, it will be considered a marketing failure!!
Calculating this, the Li family earns more money! (To be continued...)
