Reborn Capital Madman

In Gao Xian's view, the business crisis of Hutchison, one of the four major foreign banks in Hong Kong, was doomed because Hutchison's chief executive was too superstitious about "too big to die" and only saw the world caused by the global oil crisis.

The expansion opportunities brought about by the economic recession have not fully assessed the real risks in this cycle.

After receiving the news, Gao Xian did not rush back to Xiangjiang, but asked his subordinates to collect relevant information while he continued to complete the inspection of Lucasfilm.

According to Gao Xian's plan, in addition to making money, "Star Wars" will also bring about at least one additional outcome, namely a computer special effects system, which includes minicomputer hardware and software platforms, as well as general special effects technology that can be used in film and television production.

Gao Xian's request is quite practical, as long as the result can achieve the "old script" effect of the silly "Swordsman of Shushan" filmed by Xu Ke in the early 1980s, where sword energy is everywhere.

I have to admit that the United States is indeed at the forefront in this field. The entire work roadmap is clear and clear. As long as the funding chain continues, it can be completed at the same time as the production of "Star Wars".

Seeing that nothing went wrong, Gao Xian returned to his home in Toronto.

Two silly dogs, Da Mo and Xiao Mo, found their master entering the yard and ran and jumped to please him.

Seeing her husband feeding the two huskies with dog food, Yi Huirong asked curiously: "Hutchison is so worried. I thought you went directly from San Francisco to Xiangjiang."

Gao Xian smiled and said: "Hutchison is not as important as spending time with his wife and son."

Yi Huirong rolled her eyes, "Is this how you reply to the eagerly awaited Hutchison Taipan Qi Dezun?"

Gao Xian laughed, "Of course, there are some urgent tasks that have not been completed here."

Yi Huirong reminded: "Many of Hutchison's businesses, such as ports, have always been the exclusive source of wealth for the British. If you want to take over, you can't do it just by having sufficient funds."

"Madam, what you said is very reasonable." Gao Xian clapped his hands and walked into the living room, "So, I have to wait a little longer to see what the attitudes of the various interested parties are."

After Gao Xian finished washing his face, Yi Huirong said again: "I heard my father mention that Hutchison Taipan Qidezun hopes that Hutchison will raise the funds needed to survive the current financial crisis through rights issues, but Huifeng

But the bank was unwilling and asked Qi Dezun to resign from Hutchison Taipan first."

"If it were me, I would be dissatisfied with Qi Dezun's performance in the Hutchison Taipan position in the past two years." Gao Xian said lightly: "Qi Dezun borrowed a large amount of money from me before. As long as he budgets carefully,

Today's situation can be completely avoided. But if you look at Hutchison now, there are more than 300 companies under the entire group, and it is as bloated as before. It is not an exaggeration to describe Qi Dezun as having done nothing."

Seeing her husband's annoyed look, Yi Huirong's eyes shone with wisdom, and she joked: "Qi Dezun didn't make preparations for you to take over Hutchison."

"That's not true." Gao Xian sighed: "No matter who takes over, they must first lay off a large number of employees and close all subsidiaries with poor performance. This is an offending job! It seems that I can only touch the Huangpu Shipyard.

Got some brains."

Yi Huirong thought: "Is the Kwai Chung Container Terminal No. 4 in Huangpu Dockyard about to be opened?"

"I guess next year." Gao Xian hugged his son, looked at it, and replied playfully: "I know what you are worried about, but the current situation in Xiangjiang is different from before. The key areas that Chinese capital cannot enter are now

Subtle changes have begun to occur, and I am still very confident that I will succeed."

…

As news about Hutchison was gathered, the outlines of the causes and consequences of its business crisis became clear to Gao Xian.

How should I put it, timing is also luck, this mysterious thing is really crucial sometimes.

After entering the 1970s, there were too many unpredictable changes in the international economic order. For example, after the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, the currency exchange rates of various countries rose and fell.

The fixed exchange rate rules under the Bretton Woods system equated the U.S. dollar to gold, but the U.S. kept printing money noisily, which has caused the official price of gold of $35 per ounce to be unworthy of the name. In disguise, U.S. allies are sucked by the United States.

As a result, once the Bretton Woods system collapsed, Western developed capitalist countries adjusted their exchange rate policies from time to time according to their own interests, which was dizzying.

At this time, strong currencies, that is, currencies that can act as a safe haven, are particularly favored.

Needless to say, the name of Swiss banks is not generally resounding. Correspondingly, it is not difficult to understand that Switzerland’s legal currency, the Swiss franc, is a strong currency.

Hutchison, which has a large international business, borrowed a considerable amount of Swiss francs to avoid the risk of international exchange rate instability after the collapse of the Bretton Woods system.

As a result, a tragedy occurred. The Swiss franc exchange rate suddenly rose sharply, and Hutchison was unable to pay back the money even though it sold iron. It would be strange if there was no financial crisis!

In this regard, Gao Xian was speechless. Hutchison only bet on the ups and downs side, so why call it hedging? Do you think you are PetroChina?

However, Qi Dezun, a member of the Hutchison Group, still has the same thinking. Hutchison is big enough and cannot go bankrupt. As long as the shareholders are willing to give blood and the creditors are willing to postpone the repayment time, it will not be a problem to survive the current difficulties, and there is no need to reflect on the entire situation.

In its current state, Hutchison is a bottomless pit.

Huifeng Bank, as the shareholder representative, demanded that Qi Dezun hand over control of Hutchison and get out.

To be honest, Gao Xian is not willing to see Hui Feng Bank completely take over Hutchison Bank, because Hui Feng Bank is currently an invincible existence in Hong Kong, and there is no possibility of being in trouble, while Qi Dezun can handle it appropriately and extract benefits.

Object.

Gao Xian was just thinking about the method. Qi Dezun and Hui Feng Bank sent notices almost at the same time. Hutchison would soon hold a decision-making meeting. Should Gao Xian's side continue to be represented by Gao Xian's subordinates, or should Gao Xian come forward in person?

"This is urging me to return to Xiangjiang." Gao Xian muttered to himself, looking at his son who was naughtily crawling around on the sofa.

After thinking for a while, Gao Xian replied to Qi Dezun alone and told him the specific time of his return to Xiangjiang.

As expected by Gao Xian, after his flight landed at Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong, Qi Dezun, the bereaved Hutchison Taipan, and Gao Xian's subordinates came to greet him.

There is no condescension or condescension in this. Qi Dezun must seize the last glimmer of hope and contact the wealthy Gao Xian privately and alone in advance.

As soon as he sat down in the car, Qi Dezun went straight to the topic and said: "David, as long as you support me, I can overcome the current difficulties with Ji. It won't be a problem."

Gao Xian did not answer but asked: "What is Hui Feng Bank's attitude?"

Qi Dezun said angrily: "Shen Bi and those guys just want me to step down and give up control of Hutchison."
