This condition is indeed very attractive. If it can completely take over the Telegraph and Telephone Company, then Huasheng will be able to enter into people's livelihood services and have a serious foundation in Hong Kong Island.
But this is not enough.
With just a verbal promise, Huasheng wanted them to spend a large sum of money in real money. The governor's calculations could be heard across the ocean.
Looking at Li Heng's half-smiling expression, Cavell sighed secretly in his heart. This condition alone was indeed disdainful to others.
"Also, didn't you Huasheng also apply to establish a radio and television station? Mr. Kyle promised to grant you a license."
In fact, getting a TV station at this time is not a good choice. There are not many TV sets at all, but you have to take advantage of them.
After the TV sets produced by their own TV factory come off the production line, as long as they are more affordable in terms of price and have the support of TV stations, and they produce two hit programs, I believe they will be able to sell the goods quickly. After all, Hong Kong
The per capita income on this side of the island is much higher than that on the north side, and the spending power is also quite different.
However, this is not enough.
Li Heng nodded and said with a smile: "In this case, Cavell, please help me convey to Mr. Governor that our Huasheng Bank can lend one billion yuan at ten basis points below the market interest rate and pay it back within ten years."
Just clear it.”
"Uh..." These words made Cavill's face suddenly stiffen.
A loan is definitely required. For such a big project and such a large amount of funds, how can it be possible without a bank loan? But the problem is that I am here today to solicit sponsorship, not to negotiate a loan!
Cavill almost wanted to cry. He knew that this matter would not be so easy today, but he did not expect that the young man in front of him could pay him to the bank in one stroke, and also reduced it by ten points. Haha, brother, you
Are you making trouble? Are you sending beggars away?
He said helplessly: "Li, please tell me your conditions. But when you mention the conditions, I hope you can also tell me how much you can sponsor at most, so that I can report to Mr. Kyle when I get back."
"I want Kowloon Port..."
"Pfft...cough cough cough cough..."
Before Li Heng finished speaking, Cavill, who had just picked up the cup and took a sip of water, spit it out, followed by a violent cough.
After he stopped coughing, he looked at the young Chinese man sitting opposite in horror. He didn't have the right tool in his hand at the moment. Otherwise, if there was a hammer or something, he would really want to crack this guy's head open.
Take a look and see what's growing there.
"Li, are you crazy? You should know very well whose family that cargo port belongs to. Not to mention that Kyle dare not agree to this condition. Even if he dares, the Layton family is not that easy to mess with."
"Of course I know, but... Cavill, please be patient and listen to what I have to say first."
Looking at Li Heng with a relaxed look on his face, Cavell was a little confused. What kind of confidence did this young man have to say such a thing?
"Speaking"
"I have no intention of letting Mr. Governor help me put pressure on the Leighton family to sell the port to me. He just needs to help me meet with Earl Leighton. I know that Mr. Governor and Earl Leyton have a good personal relationship.
."
It's not that Li Heng didn't want to meet the earl because of his connections in England, but unfortunately, this old-fashioned aristocrat with both political status and business support for his consumption was not interested in meeting an upstart agent at all.
Theoretically speaking, it is simply impossible to buy such an important port from the Layton family.
But nothing is absolute. Li Heng believes that the old earl must also be aware of the hidden crisis in their family, that is, there is no heir. He is now old and alive. Others may not dare to do anything to their family, but wait for him
Once they are dead, their former political opponents and business enemies will never mind pounce on them and tear them apart.
This is why in the last life, the port changed hands and changed from a British-owned enterprise to a Chinese enterprise, which became the Bao family.
That's because their family had too much time to take care of themselves at that time. They were being tortured to death in the mainland, and how could they care about Hong Kong Island, which was thousands of miles away.
Despite this, the battle for the port at that time was still full of dangers. If it were not for the help of HSBC Taipan, there would be little possibility of changing ownership.
Li Heng simply advanced this timeline by twenty years. It is even more difficult for him to buy the port now. However, he has other trump cards, but they must be met before Lei Heng meets Lei Heng.
It can only be taken out after the Earl of Tonton.
Cavill was slightly stunned after hearing this. What kind of condition is this? It's just a recommendation, it's not a big deal at all, okay? Of course, this is what he was thinking about, what will be the reaction from the Governor?
He doesn't know yet.
"Li, if, I mean, if Mr. Kyle helps you pull the strings, how much can Huasheng sponsor?"
"One billion Hong Kong dollars. At the same time, I also promise that Washington Bank can provide a loan of no less than 2 billion for this project. The specific interest will be discussed at that time."
"call……"
Enough, absolutely enough, Cavill's heart suddenly returned to his stomach. He had definitely overfulfilled the task assigned by Kyle.
It can be said that three conditions were exchanged for 3 billion in funds. Tsk tsk... This Huasheng is really rich.
"Thank you, Li, I will report to Mr. Kyle immediately when I get back."
"I'm waiting for your good news, Cavill."
Use money to buy everything you can buy, including status and some kind of convenience. This is Li Heng's consistent strategy.
It was so easy for him to get money, so he didn't care about spending money on anything, even buying horse bones for a thousand gold, as long as this thing could bring him benefits in the future, even if the benefits were very small.
It is necessary to have good dealings with local officials. No matter how awesome and powerful Hengyishe is, and no matter how rich Huasheng is, he will not dare to do things that are beyond the rules of the game easily. If he is really attacked by a group, then it will be terrible
No joke.
Before Cavill left, he took a thick envelope from Li Heng, which made his already small eyes completely narrow.
This money-grubbing and lustful guy hasn't even left the teahouse yet, and he's already thinking about which bar he should go to tonight to have fun.
Then he thought about Yirou whom he had met when he first came here, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm. But then he thought about the possibility that that woman... bah bah bah, it's not very possible, but she should be this young man.
Women, he immediately came to his senses again. The world is so big and there are so many beautiful women. There is no need to compete with others for women, especially when this man is rich and powerful.
Wouldn't it be better to save your life and enjoy a good life?
Humming an unknown country tune, Cavell walked out of the teahouse.
