Reborn as a Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 134 Hutchison's Current Situation and Development Plan
"Mr. Lin, this is the detailed information about Hutchison Whampoa that I investigated."

It took almost three days for Cheng Yufeng to complete the research on Hutchison Whampoa. This is only with the cooperation of the management, otherwise it will only take longer.More importantly, without the cooperation of the management, some data cannot be investigated so clearly.

Lin Baicheng nodded and asked, "Where is Wei Li's development plan for Hutchison Whampoa?"

"it's here."

Cheng Yufeng took out another document.

"I'll take a look at the information first, go get busy,"

Lin Baicheng picked up the document that recorded the detailed information of Hutchison Whampoa, and put Wei Li's development plan aside.

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

Cheng Yufeng responded and went out.

Lin Baicheng read it very seriously, and it took almost an hour to read it. After reading it, he finally had a relatively clear understanding of the current situation of Hutchison Whampoa.

Hutchison Whampoa still has 180 companies today, but there are only eight listed companies, which are Hutchison Whampoa itself, and Hutchison, Watsons, Hutchison Properties, Metropolis Properties, Junyi Warehouse, Anderson Daya, and Harbor Engineering. Its businesses cover import and export trade, wholesale and retail business, pharmaceuticals, commerce, container transportation, docks, warehouses, transportation, real estate, quarrying, construction and investment.

Although Hutchison Whampoa has 180 companies, it seems huge, but many companies do not make much money, and there are even many companies that are losing money.Although Wayley has disbanded and sold more than 100 companies, those are companies with large losses. Today, among the 180 companies, there are still some companies that are in losses, and some companies that are breaking even.

However, there are many companies owned by Hutchison Whampoa, which also shows that Hutchison Whampoa has a lot of talents. In addition, it has a large amount of land in its hands and is the largest landlord in Xiangjiang. Therefore, Hutchison Whampoa still has great potential.

In terms of liabilities, Hutchison Whampoa now has short-term liabilities of 7.6 million Hong Kong dollars and long-term liabilities of 5.7 million Hong Kong dollars, adding up to more than 13 billion Hong Kong dollars in debt.

Among them, the time limit for repayment of short-term debts is at the end of this year. Either Hutchison Whampoa will sell its profits or investment business to repay the debts, or it can only find a bank loan to repay the short-term debts first.

In any case, Hutchison Whampoa owes more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, and it is not easy to pay off.

Regarding the development plan of Hutchison Whampoa, Lin Baicheng has a general idea. First of all, it is certain that the real estate industry will be the mainstay. He is very clear about the future real estate prospects of Xiangjiang.It can be said that without the high prosperity of real estate, Li Jiacheng in his previous life would not have been able to become the richest man in Asia with so much net worth.

In addition to the real estate industry, the retail industry also needs to be vigorously developed. The retail industry is not only related to people's livelihood and can expand its influence, but also because this industry makes money. Just think of Wal-Mart.Not to mention the development of Watsons to the level of Wal-Mart, as long as Watsons has a place in the domestic retail industry in the future, it will be at least tens of billions of dollars.

Then there is the pharmaceutical industry. The pharmaceutical company under the name of Hutchison Whampoa has its own research and development department, but it mainly obtains patent authorization from Western countries.However, because medicines are just needed, so although they get patents from other companies to sell medicines, just like second-hand dealers, pharmaceutical companies still make money, but they don’t make a lot of money. Most of them are earned by pharmaceutical companies with patents. went.

The vigorous development of the pharmaceutical industry is not because Lin Baicheng is sure to develop a pharmaceutical company and make a lot of money, but because he knows the importance of medicines.Not to mention the great awareness of serving the country and the people, Lin Baicheng hopes that when he or those around him get sick, he can use the most advanced and safe medicine.

The pharmaceutical industry is not limited to drugs, but also includes medical equipment. Lin Baicheng will also invest in this area, constantly spending money and hiring talents, in order to develop the most advanced medical equipment in the world.

Of course, the pharmaceutical industry invests a lot, and no one can guarantee when it will be reaped. Therefore, the investment in this area must wait until Hutchison Whampoa makes a lot of money from the real estate industry. Otherwise, where will the money come to fill this hole.

After that, Lin Baicheng took a look at Wei Li's development plan for Hutchison Whampoa.

In Wei Li's development plan, the number of Hutchison Whampoa's 180 companies is still too much. Companies that are losing money or not making much money should be gradually sold. Part of the collected funds will be used to repay the company's short-term debts, and part To develop real estate, develop the land in the hands of the company into properties for sale.

In Wei Li's view, Xiangjiang has less land and more people. As Xiangjiang's economy becomes more prosperous, the land prices and housing prices in Xiangjiang will become higher and higher. The best proof is that Xiangjiang's real estate industry has begun to improve in the past two years.

Sell ​​some companies and develop the real estate industry. In this regard, Wei Li's plan is the same as Lin Baicheng's.

However, in Wei Li's plan, in addition to the real estate industry, Hutchison Whampoa should also strengthen its trade business, because Hutchison Whampoa itself has many talents in trade, as well as relevant experience and relationships.

Regarding this, Lin Baicheng was noncommittal. Of course, the trading business made money. Hutchison International used to focus on trading business, but now the company's controller has become Lin Baicheng. Whether the previous relationship will be affected, I will not say.

You know, China and Britain will start negotiations on the ownership of Xiangjiang in a few years. Needless to say, Lin Baicheng's position, and Hutchison Whampoa, he is the largest shareholder, and the foreign trade business will definitely be affected by the change of Xiangjiang ownership. be affected, and the impact must not be small.

After all, Lin Baicheng's heart is domestic. If the British side wants to force him to change his position or suppress him, the trade business that the British side can easily affect is definitely the most likely to cause trouble.

Therefore, it is not advisable to regard the trading business as the main development business of Hutchison Whampoa.Now there is no need to cancel the trading business, after all, it is very profitable, but there is no need to invest in vigorous development, and even prepare for downsizing or packaging in the next few years.

Although the trading business in Wei Li's plan does not match Lin Baicheng's idea, Wei Li is not a reborn person. The trading business does make money, and it is also Hutchison Whampoa's strength. Therefore, Wei Li's development plan itself is not a problem, and Lin Baicheng affirms it.

However, Lin Baicheng will not change his mind. If Wei Li insists on letting Hutchison Whampoa vigorously develop the trading business, then Lin Baicheng can only ask him to leave.As for Hutchison Whampoa's general development plan, it must be based on his will, and no one should violate it.
