Reborn Capital Madman

Taking advantage of the open opportunity of the Canton Fair, the atmosphere of Gao Xian and Huo Yingdong and others in Yangcheng was obvious.

Gao Xian remembered something, so he found a gap and asked Huo Yingdong, "Huo Sheng, I remember that a few years ago, Huo's Yourong Engineering Company was at the container terminal and deep water port of Sribagawan, Brunei.

In the international bidding, it stood out, defeated more than 20 other competitors, won the bid in one fell swoop, and became a good story."

"I don't know the progress of this project, how is it now?"

Huo Yingdong, who was scratched by Gao Xian's invisible compliment, couldn't help but smile and replied with a pan: "This project is under the responsibility of the Quanzi Zhenting. It is now close to its end and will be put into use soon."

Gao Xian nodded suddenly and continued to ask: "How much does Huo Sheng know about the economic situation in Brunei?"

"Basically, I know a little." Huo Yingdong pondered: "At present, Brunei is still a British protector, but internal autonomy has been achieved this year."

"Although Brunei is not large in size, which is about five times that of Hong Kong, it has abundant oil and natural gas reserves, second only to Indonesia in Southeast Asia."

"It is precisely because of this resource advantage that Brunei decided to build the Seri Bagawan container terminal and deepwater port to accelerate the development of its own economy."

After the brief introduction, Huo Yingdong asked curiously: "Why, is Mr. Gao interested in the investment environment in Brunei?"

"The construction of Seribagawan container terminal and deep-water port just shows that Brunei's oil industry is still in its infancy, and this often means good investment opportunities." Gao Xian did not deny his idea, "By the way, Huo

Student, in Brunei, you have not invested in the local oil industry except for the construction of the winning container terminal and deep water port projects?”

"After all, if Yourong Engineering Company can successfully complete such a large project, I believe that Huo has a certain personal resource base in Brunei, which is enough to support other investment activities."

Huo Yingdong nodded, "There are several college classmates in the town court, who belong to the children of the local noble family in Brunei, and they do provide quite good connections."

"However, the issues that need to be considered when investing in the oil industry are quite complicated. Even if you don't worry about the changes in the situation in Brunei and add variables to the already long return on investment cycle, you must see that in the face of high-quality Middle East oil, Brunei Oil

There will be a lot of competitive pressure.”

"Huo Sheng's analysis is reasonable." Gao Xian nodded when he was taught, but the thought in his mind was, "When the global oil crisis breaks out, it will be good if there is oil available, and there is no need to care about the quality.

!Not mentioning the North Sea of ​​Europe, the Gulf of Mexico, etc., the oil fields to be surveyed are still regarded as bottomless pits at this stage, and even China's oil can be exported."

Although he was cautious in investment, Huo Yingdong still enthusiastically said: "If Mr. Gao has time, I can accompany him to Brunei for an inspection."

This was exactly what Gao Xian thought. After thanking him repeatedly, he agreed: "Then there will be Lao Huosheng. In the second half of this year, I will find a suitable time to take me to Brunei for a visit."

After Huo Yingdong agreed happily, he said with emotion: "Mr. Gao's heroic spirit of showing off his strength and moving forward bravely is really enviable."

Gao Xian observed Huo Yingdong's expression and felt that he was indeed expressing his mood at this moment.

Gao Xian is quite understanding of this.

Because, before 1967, Huo Yingdong was absolutely full of energy in the Xiangjiang Shopping Mall, and never failed; but after 1967, Huo Yingdong was obviously suppressed and had to hide his edge and act in a low-key manner.

There are two examples that best illustrate Huo Yingdong's situation.

The first example is a commercial building called Xingguangxing, which was jointly built by Huo Yingdong and several other consortiums, each invested HK$7.5 million, totaling HK$30 million.

However, in addition to Huo Yingdong's investment of HK$7.5 million, there is HK$10 million, which is borrowed from Huifeng Bank by Huo Yingdong as the guarantor.

In other words, Huo Yingdong has borne a total of HK$17.5 million in investment in Starlight.

On the one hand, this reflects Huo Yingdong's wealth and sufficient funds. On the other hand, it also shows that Huo Yingdong's optimistic about Xingguangxing.

Unfortunately, since then, Huo Yingdong has been suppressed without any concealment.

First of all, the American Consul in Xiangjiang said that the tenants of Starlight Store were unable to purchase all American goods, including cash registers.

As soon as this move was used, Xingguangxing's rental operation was immediately stunned.

Huo Yingdong's response is to reduce the rent, which costs only 90 cents per foot.

Sure enough, the tenant was attracted to interest again.

When the Americans made a move, the British naturally followed suit.

Xiangjiang Telecommunications Company issued a notice that the phone opening time of Starlight Bank tenants cannot be guaranteed.

Even the basic telephone service cannot be opened, so the tenants naturally gave in completely.

As the situation develops here, the shareholders of Starlight Store don’t want to waste it anymore, so they quickly sell the commercial building and it’s over.

Logically speaking, it would be natural to directly buy shares of other consortiums with Huo Yingdong's financial resources.

However, some shareholders disagree because the reason is very good at "I would rather give gifts to Friends than to family slaves" - we were originally shareholders with equal status, but once Huo Yingdong acquires all the shares, wouldn't the other shareholders suddenly appear inferior to Huo Yingdong?

It's a bit shorter in status!

So, Land Corporation appeared as an "AI" and offered HK$37.5 million to acquire Starlight Store.

As a result, halfway through the acquisition, Land Land Company made another loss move, and could only give HK$17.5 million in cash first, and the remaining part was owed with commercial promissory notes.

It can be said that Huo Yingdong was not only suppressed and suffered heavy losses, but also handed over Xingguangxing to Land Company in a humiliating manner.

The second example of Huo Yingdong being significantly suppressed is that he is optimistic about emerging container shipping, so he took over the No. 1 Container Terminal of Kwai Chung by himself.

At this time, the Hong Kong government put forward the conditions that Huo Yingdong must ensure that at least 200,000 containers berthed at the wharf every year before the project can be developed.

You know, at this stage, there are not 200,000 containers in the entire Xiangjiang River.

In desperation, Huo Yingdong had to give up the No. 1 Container Terminal of Kwai Chung that he had already obtained.

So far, if Huo Yingdong still doesn't understand that he was suppressed by the American and British, his suffering would be in vain. Huo Yourong Engineering Company, which is responsible for the construction of Brunei's Ribagawan Container Terminal and Deepwater Port, isn't it?

After the development space of Xiangjiang was limited, we went outside to seek a breakthrough.

Gao Xian thought that with Huo Yingdong's current situation, it should be very possible to fool him into investing in the "non-Western mainstream" market outside of Xiangjiang.

Of course, the suppression Huo Yingdong suffered in Xiangjiang was not without touching, and he wanted to compete with Jardine for Gao Qian of the Milk Company.

However, in Gao Xian's opinion, the best way to deal with it is to make yourself a world-renowned tycoon, and then consider the cost you need to pay before any force takes action.

Just like Amod Hammer, the iron curtain of the Cold War could not stop him from traveling through the West and the East.

Some exceptions are real, but the public does not know.

As long as Gao Xian is good at being the "porter" with these exceptions, it will be enough to create various miracles.
