Five cars stopped in front of the Xu family villa. Yu Yongan got off the first car and trotted over to open the door for Yao Yuan, but Yao Yuan opened the door and got out of the car.
Except for Lin Wei, Lin Xiaohu and Yu Yongan, the others are all bodyguards.
Unlike mainland China, Lin Xiaohu and Yu Yongan attach great importance to Yao Yuan's safety, and the security team in the concierge department always looks like it is facing a formidable enemy.
Standing still and looking at the door with Chinese architectural style, Yao Yuan said with a smile, "Awei, Xiaohu, half of the land east of Nangang City Hall was reclaimed by their family at that time. This is a
It’s an established wealthy family.”
Lin Wei said, "I will also reclaim the sea and create land later."
At this time, Xu Shiwei walked out with Xu Junkui and went out to greet him, giving Yao Yuan enough face.
Even when the Governor of Hong Kong comes, the head of the Xu family still sits in the living room to welcome guests.
"Mr. Yao, I'm sorry to hear you coming from afar." Xu Shiwei walked a few steps quickly and stopped about three steps in front of Yao Yuan and said hello.
He had never met Yao Yuan, but he saw it keenly.
Yao Yuan looked at this seventy-year-old man with shiny black hair, took two steps forward, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Senior Xu, I have long admired him."
He called Shi Wei a senior rather than a gentleman.
Xu Shiwei was very happy. He held Yao Yuan's hand tightly and shook it twice. "My fellow countryman burst into tears when I saw him. Speaking of which, it should be because I have admired him for a long time. Mr. Yao, please come in."
After simple greetings, the current head of the Xu family personally welcomed Yao Yuan inside.
This scene caused Xu Junkui's brain to temporarily lose the ability to think - a young man a few years older than his son turned out to be the boss behind Yu Yongan?
How is that possible!
Hard to believe.
He fell a few steps behind, and when he came to his senses, he quickly grabbed Yu Yongan's arm, "Dr. Yu, is that young man your boss?"
Yu Yongan smiled and nodded, "That's right."
He said and patted Xu Junkui on the shoulder without saying much to him.
Suddenly, Xu Junkui understood that in the following interview, he, the dignified chairman of Xu Shi Group, was just an insignificant role.
The Xu family's guest sister (a servant from the Philippines) brought refreshments, and Xu Shiwei personally entertained Yao Yuan, showing the best attitude of the Xu family.
Yao Yuan glanced at Bin Mei and sighed in his heart. Since the death of the old man of the Xu family and the eldest son of the Xu family, the Xu family has gradually gone downhill. Specifically, the position of the head of the Xu family has been in decline since it was handed over to Xu Shiwei.
The Xu family was so prosperous in the past that the father of the chartering king of Hong Kong would call the old man of the Xu family Brother Xu. When Xu Zhou's shipping business spread all over Southeast Asia, the chartering king was the second owner of two cargo ships.
The reason why Yao Yuan made this judgment was that the Xu family actually used Filipino maids. You must know that most of the people who use Filipino maids in Hong Kong are middle-class families, and wealthy families will not use Filipino maids.
The Xu family followed Li Bancheng in transferring their assets to the UK, which may have something to do with seeking new development space and opportunities.
Thinking of this, Yao Yuan said straight to the point, "Senior Xu, I took the liberty of visiting today in the hope that the Xu family can stay in Hong Kong and develop. Li Bancheng encouraged the three major families to invest 300 billion Hong Kong dollars in the UK. I hope you can make the decision.
The Xu family withdraws from this plan."
Xu Shiwei's smile froze, but then quickly recovered, he picked up the tea cup and drank tea, still maintaining his smile.
Xu Junkui joined the family business after graduating in his twenties. He is a shopping veteran with more than ten years of experience. When he heard Yao Yuan say this and looked at his father's expression, he was still calm.
Serving tea to see off guests had a strong meaning, but Yao Yuanquan didn't realize it.
Xu Junkui put his hand on the tea cup, and his next move was to pick up the tea and drink it. With a cold smile, he said, "Mr. Yao, it is not for outsiders to point fingers at the Xu family's affairs, or what you represent."
Is it the government?”
The government he is talking about is naturally not the Hong Kong government.
Yao Yuan glanced at Xu Junkui, then his eyes fell on Xu Shiwei's face again, and said, "Senior Xu, I am a businessman and I only represent Dongfeng Group."
"I personally think it will be better for the Xu family to stay in Hong Kong and develop. First, the market will be bigger after the return of Hong Kong. Senior Xu, you should know the situation of Yongan Group. In less than five years, the small Yongan Company has developed into
The current Yongan Group relies on the huge mainland market."
"Second, Hong Kong needs stability after its return, and economic stability is the top priority. The Xu family is a business family that came out of Nangang. It is related to national affairs. The Xu family should shoulder the responsibilities of a business family, as well as some historical responsibilities.
"
Yao Yuan finished speaking calmly, picked up a cigarette, lit one and started smoking.
Xu Shiwei's eyes suddenly focused.
"Mr. Yao owns 70% of the shares of Yongan Group." Yu Yongan said with a smile.
Xu Shiwei glanced at Yu Yongan, but his expression did not change due to his words. The detail that Xu Shiwei paid attention to was that Yao Yuan took the cigarette out of his own pocket, not the cigarette handed over by the people around him.
It can be said that the style of the Big Boss in Hong Kong is more extreme than what is shown in the TV series. The Big Boss does not carry cigarettes in his pockets.
Xu Shiwei didn't question the authenticity of Yao Yuan's identity, but he didn't expect that the big boss behind Yu Yongan would be so reckless as to put cigarettes in his pocket.
This illustrates a problem - Yao Yuan is a person with true temperament.
But the question comes again, is it just true temperament that can make the business so big?
Therefore, what Yao Yuan said just now cannot be simply equated to being arrogant. What if he did it on purpose?
Xu Shiwei glanced at Xu Junkui vaguely.
Xu Junkui immediately said coldly, "Mr. Yao, we have our own judgment on future development and market, so I won't bother you in this regard."
At this time, Yao Yuan looked at Xu Junkui and said with a smile, "The Xu family started out as a shipping company, but now Hong Kong shipping is dominated by the Bao family. After becoming the CEO of the Xu Group, Mr. Xu has always wanted to revive the shipping industry.
Shipping business, but there has been no progress.”
"Real estate is currently the main business of Xu Group. With the auction of the last land parcel in Central, Xu Group's real estate business has also encountered a bottleneck. As for Xu Group's second largest business, which is investment, these days
Years of development have been lackluster.”
Yao Yuan changed the subject, "Master Xu, have you ever thought that borrowing money to go to the UK to invest in infrastructure and communications construction can really bring the Xu Group back to its peak?"
What he said made Xu Junkui's face change drastically.
Xu Junkui was shocked that Yao Yuan actually knew so clearly. The content of the large-scale investment plan in the UK was top secret. Only Li Bancheng and the heads of the three major families knew about it. Even the second generation below did not know the specific content.
The other is that Yao Yuan's analysis of the Xu Group's situation is sharp, indicating that Yao Yuan has conducted a detailed investigation of the Xu Group.
Xu Junkui didn't know that Yao Yuan had never investigated the Xu Group before, and his analysis was based on memories from previous lives.
However, the trajectory of history has changed. The most beautiful Hong Kong sister, Michelle Reis, actually married Xu Junkui two years ago. In her previous life, Michelle Reis dated wealthy businessmen, models, and artists, and only married into the Xu family around 2006.
Yao Yuan's butterfly wings have been flapping for nearly six years and have affected many things and many people, including big things and big people, as well as small things and little people.
Undoubtedly, Li Jiaxin belongs to the category of little people, and the impact will be greater.
After Xu Zhou's death, his estate was managed in the form of a trust fund and was not distributed to his children. The Xu Group was the core industry and an important engine for the development of the Xu family's business empire.
However, since the 1990s, the development of Xu Group has almost come to a standstill...
Yao Yuan put out the cigarette butt, and Lin Wei, who was sitting next to him, took out a document and handed it to Yao Yuan.
Xu Shiwei's eyes fell on the document. His eyesight was not as good as before, and he could vaguely see a few words - Yuan Hai Yuan Yuan...
Yao Yuan put the documents on the coffee table, picked up the top one and put it aside, revealing a second document with the words "Cooperation Agreement" written on it.
He pointed at the two documents and said, "Senior Xu, before you give me an answer, I would like to spare you a few minutes to take a look at these two documents."
Xu Shiwei picked up the first document and opened it.
This is a very thick document. The front content is an introduction to the company, the introduction of Ocean Shipping Group Co., Ltd., which includes an introduction to the company's affiliated companies.
Xu Shiwei saw that the holding company of Yuanhai Ocean Shipping Group Co., Ltd. was Dongfeng Group, and it was 100% controlled.
The Xu Group, which is determined to revive its shipping business style, pays close attention to the current situation of shipping companies in the world. China Ocean Shipping Group Co., Ltd. is a shipping company that has only emerged in recent years and is developing very fast.
There are several terminals in Kwai Chong, Hong Kong owned by this company.
Industry analysts believe that Yuanhai Yuanyang is challenging the Bao family's shipping empire...
Xu Shiwei was moved, but it was not over yet. After he continued to read the introduction of Dongfeng Group, his whole person fell into a sluggish state.
"Sedan Oilfield, Baku Oilfield is yours?" Xu Shiwei stared at Yao Yuan, not hiding the huge shock in his heart. In fact, he couldn't hide it.
Yao Yuan said with a smile, "Including the oil and gas exploration rights in the five Central Asian countries, they all belong to Dongfang Petroleum. Dongfang Petroleum is a petroleum company wholly owned by Dongfeng Group."
It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Hui family is in decline, but it is still one of the top ten wealthy families in Hong Kong, with assets valued at HK$20 billion.
However, compared with Dongfang Petroleum, the Xu family is like a frog in the well.
The Oriental No. 5 oil well in the Sedan Oilfield with a daily output of 100,000 tons is world-famous. Even the novice workers know that it is an oil well that can spew out more than 10 million US dollars a day.
More than ten million dollars a day!
Even if calculated based on a 30% profit, you can earn at least 3 million U.S. dollars every day. In one year, it will be 1.1 billion U.S. dollars. The net profit...
This is only the profitability of one well in Sedan Oilfield.
Oriental Petroleum and the Baku oil field...
Coupled with the oil and gas resources of the five Central Asian countries, Xu Shiwei has been in the shopping mall for half his life. Although he took over as the head of the family less than thirty years ago, he is definitely a person who is used to the big world. However, at this time, he did not dare to continue to estimate Dongfang Petroleum.
of value.
One thing is for sure, Oriental Petroleum is an oil giant that easily earns billions of dollars in profits every year.
One Xu Group a year...
Yao Yuan was worried about scaring Xu Shiwei's heart disease, so he just selected a few secondary companies under Dongfeng Group and included them in his introduction. In this way, Xu Shiwei had lost his ability to think.
But he didn't have time to waste time. It was already the 22nd. Li Bancheng's 300 billion Hong Kong dollar investment plan in the UK must have been launched long ago. He would have lost hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars a day later. Those were the savings of these Chinese national wanderers in Hong Kong. He must
He was racing against time, so he didn't plan to engage in business negotiations with Xu Shiwei from the beginning. Instead, he directly released part of his energy and used dimensionality reduction to persuade Xu Shiwei to withdraw from Li Bancheng's plan.
At this time, he said, "Senior Xu might as well take a look at the second document. This is a cooperation agreement between Sino-Ocean Group and Xu Group that I personally drafted. Sino-Ocean Group can hand over its Hong Kong business to Xu Group.
We will jointly establish a joint venture company and give Xu Shi Group a 20% stake."
Lin Wei added, "Sino-Ocean Group will spin off its Hong Kong business and inject it into the joint venture, holding 51% of the shares, and the remaining shares will be used to attract other investors. The valuation of Sino-Ocean Group's assets and business in Hong Kong is
300 million U.S. dollars. After the joint venture is established, it can operate as a subsidiary company of Sino-Ocean Group."
After all, the business world had been ups and downs for half his life. Xu Shiwei had already calmed down. After hearing these conditions, he said he could not deny it.
With an investment of US$300 million for 51% of the shares, even if the valuation is acceptable, it is only about HK$2.4 billion. Based on this ratio, if Xu Shi Group wants to hold 20% of the shares, it will have to invest almost HK$1 billion.
This amount of money is not large, but small, and does not match the business of Sino-Ocean Group.
When you invest this money, you want to see the prospect of profit.
Looking at Yao Yuan, Lin Wei continued with a smile, "Dongfang Petroleum is going to build its own oil and gas transportation fleet. The first batch of ships have already laid keels in the dock of Dongfang Shipbuilding. Mr. Yao decided to transfer Dongfang Petroleum's shipping business
If it is spun off and injected into the Yuanhai Ocean Group, approximately 10 million tons of ships will be needed to transport oil and natural gas every year in the future. Senior Xu, Yuanhai Yuanyang has no shortage of transportation contracts and shipping capacity."
Xu Shiwei could no longer remain calm. If the oil tankers were 10 million tons per year and all were 300,000 tons, they would have to make 34 trips per year. Normally, tankers of this level could make one round trip per quarter.
He suddenly asked, "Does the joint venture guarantee 10 million tons of transportation orders every year?"
"Dongfang Petroleum can sign a three-year cooperation agreement with the joint venture company." Lin Wei said with a smile.
After waiting for a while, Yao Yuan said, "Senior Xu, this is just the beginning of our cooperation. In the future, I will help Xu Shi Group expand its business in the mainland, especially investment. I have only one request, that Xu Shi Group immediately withdraws from Li Bancheng Investment
British plan.”
Yao Yuan stood up and said, "Li Bancheng has found three major families to cooperate. I came to you first because you are my fellow villager. Then I will go to the other two major families and offer them similar conditions. I came with
It comes from sincerity.”
Lin Wei stood up, took out a copy of the deposit certificate and placed it on the coffee table. "Senior Xu, this is the price we decided to pay for the smooth return of Hong Kong and the economic stability of Hong Kong after its return."
Yao Yuan smiled and nodded slightly, and walked away, followed closely by the others, as if he was giving an ultimatum.
Xu Shiwei's eyes fell on the certificate of deposit, 1 billion U.S. dollars, about 8 billion Hong Kong dollars...
