Chapter 527 "Boycott"
Chapter 527 "Boycott"
The "Orient Overseas" project is progressing smoothly.
In the domestic and Dong families, the man is in love with the woman, and they are in a passionate relationship.
After the contract was signed, Dong Jianhua came to visit Zhongyi Group in a suit and tie, carrying a bottle of red wine.
He was holding a cigar, his face no longer depressed, he was full of energy, opened the red wine and introduced it: "Lafite in 82, the rain was very good that year."
"Try it, Mr. Yin, and see if it suits your taste."
In winemaking, the process is secondary and the grapes are primary.
The year does not represent age.
It's the sunshine and rainfall in the producing area that year.
Behind the production area are the soil, altitude and variety.
In 82, the Bordeaux region had the best climate conditions in the th century. The red wines from the entire region were already being rushed for orders by agents before the grapes were harvested.
The popularity of Lafite is based on the hype of a good year.
Yin Zhaotang has no interest in wine speculation. The payback period is too long, and storage costs are also a big deal. He usually drinks Budweiser and Remy Martin. He tasted the 82 Lafite for fun, smacking his lips and recalling the taste: "Not bad, no wonder it's so famous."
Tung Kin-wah raised his glass and said, "Mr. Yin likes it. I have kept a cabinet and will have someone deliver it to Tsuen Wan Pier tomorrow."
A shipping container can hold 20 bottles of red wine, but Château Lafite produces only 30 to bottles a year, which can fill up containers at most.
One twentieth of the 82 Lafite was immediately delivered to his pocket. Although 82 million bottles of Lafite can be sold in China each year, there are still differences between domestically produced Lafite and imported Lafite.
It must be a good imported drink.
Yin Zhaotang refused disrespectfully and replied with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Dong. Mr. Dong, do you still have wine?"
Dong Jianhua said: "Sometimes a few containers are empty, so I buy some red wine and foreign liquor. I don't say how much I make, but I won't lose a lot. I treat it as financial management."
As long as there is consumption of high-end wine, the price is very stable. Considering the acceleration of the domestic economy, the demand for high-end wine is generated, and the long-term price is definitely bullish.
The purchase price of this cabinet of wine is more than 8 million Hong Kong dollars. However, for a project worth 1.2 billion, the agency fee of 8 million is reasonable.
Today, Yin Zhaotang holds 27% of Orient Overseas' shares, making him the second largest shareholder. His 18% is held on behalf of China Ocean Shipping Group, a subsidiary of the domestic ocean shipping bureau.
Ge Zhixiong still owns 3% of the shares, totaling 30%, which reaches the "hard acquisition" threshold stipulated in commercial law.
Money comes from three parties, profits are shared by three parties, and power is held by three parties.
But as long as the three parties work together, they are fully capable of driving Tung Chee-wah out of OOCL.
Dong Jianhua came to give gifts to build relationships. After a long conversation, he suddenly asked, "Mr. Yin, does the Zhi Gong Hui still accept people?"
Yin Zhaotang was stunned for a moment, and realized that Dong Jianhua had misunderstood. He smiled and said, "You are not involved in the Hongmen, so why would you join the Zhigonghui? If you want to do more for Hong Kong people, work hard and find a better platform."
Dong Jianhua's face was serious, his eyes were deep, and he said solemnly: "Please give me some advice, Mr. Yin."
Yin Zhaotang tapped the glass with his fingers, and paced to the sound of crisp music, saying, "Go ahead and ask the organizing committee to help me, and then find a way to participate in politics."
Dong Jianhua frowned: "Then what?"
Yin Zhaotang stopped and looked at him: "Take one step at a time, why think so much. After joining the preparatory committee, you only need to do one thing." "What thing." Dong Jianhua's heart tightened.
Yin Zhaotang said confidently: "Oppose those who oppose me, and support me."
This is a threat to Tung Chien-wah's political life, but in Tung's opinion, he has no political life at all. Is it necessary to feel bad about selling something that doesn't exist?
Even his family business was saved by Yin Zhaotang. Now, he and Yin Sheng jointly control Dongfang Overseas, not only with powerful supporters in the underworld, but also with domestic backers.
The crisis has been overcome and we may be able to grow bigger and stronger.
Dong Jianhua put down his wine glass and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Yin, let's join forces."
"Join forces!"
After seeing off Tung Kin-wah, Yin Zhaotang took out a list and ticked the name of Tung Kin-wah. By holding a controlling stake in OOCL, he had already strangled Tung Kin-wah.
Although there are no eternal friends in the world, it is naive to want to escape while wearing handcuffs and shackles. Although the market value of Orient Overseas is too high, 1.2 billion can only save it and prevent it from falling into the hands of foreign capital, and it cannot get 100% of the shares. But the change of the Dong family is a key event, and the gains are great.
Of course, he made this decision with foresight and knew that there was money to be made. In the eyes of outsiders, this investment actually has great risks.
If the shipping industry really failed, the 1.2 billion would be wasted, which would be enough to bring down a commercial bank in Hong Kong Island. How would Tung Chee-wah feel when he couldn't raise money even after using all his connections, and someone suddenly came to his rescue?
"Now that we have ships and cargo, we can make a lot of money." Yin Zhaotang did not plan to continue to make money in Hong Kong Island, because the real money-making businesses had already been taken up by wealthy businessmen.
The remaining major development opportunities will be driven by the Greater Bay Area Plan.
The old Hong Kong Island is in the hands of the old aristocracy, and the new generation has to rush to the new Hong Kong Island.
You can’t just survive in Hong Kong Island. You have to work hard in Shenzhen first before you can give back to Hong Kong.
Not to mention the Greater Bay Area, the construction of Shenzhen alone requires a huge amount of funds. In order to acquire Orient Overseas, Yin Zhaotang has already spent all the working capital in the company's account.
Outside Zhongyi Building, five cranes are being erected and dozens of construction vehicles are working on the trading plaza in front.
As the largest project under Zhongyi Real Estate, Lao Zhong has put all its strength in real estate development.
Next year, they have to pay a final payment of 200 million to Wang Dehui of Chinachem Group. They need to make some quick money so that they can vigorously develop the manufacturing industry and enter Shenzhen to grab land.
Bring the real estate industry into Guangdong Province.
The fastest way to make money is definitely arms.
It has to be said that Ye Suping is not very ruthless, but he is very good at winning people's hearts. Not only can he win over his subordinates and fight with Tai Po Niu, but he also persuaded Chen Qinghua to "boycott".
Originally, "boycott" in Cantonese means jointly boycotting someone. Now it has become two groups of people joining forces to fight against Ge, which is so appropriate and adds a new meaning to the old word.
In the underworld, there is a special meaning of "the split of the number gang" and "Ye and Chen join forces". No one is perfect, and Dapu Niu is a businessman who is not good at showing off his horse. When fighting Ye Suping alone, he still has a slight advantage because of his righteousness. When he met the veteran "Chen Qinghua" who was famous for fighting, he was defeated immediately. Under the "Five Tigers" of the Chen family, two big bosses of Zidui were defeated.
Since Chen Qinghua had a good relationship with Ho Sang in Haojiang, he monopolized the "accounting office" business, that is, helping gamblers to evade taxes and launder money. He did not compete with the pickpockets, prostitutes, and loan sharks in the Haojiang water houses, but was able to strengthen his power and make a fortune.
Therefore, he was the strongest among the three. However, he already had a position below the emperor and above ten thousand people, and he was equal to the princes, so there was no need for him to usurp the throne.
However, he regarded Dabu Niu as a pawn of Shenxiantang and did not want the Number Gang to be controlled by Zhongyitang, so he was persuaded by Ye Suping with a large sum of money.
Nowadays, Tai Po is so busy that there is no time to worry about other things. If you want to make a big profit, you must first deal with the number gang. You must select elite personnel, seize the opportunity, strike with one strike, and change the situation to reap the greatest rewards.
