Chapter 166 【It’s easy to shake the mountain and it is difficult to shake the harmony! 】

The restructuring of Lao Fengxiang has been completed in an orderly manner. The full name of the new Lao Fengxiang is "Lao Fengxiang Jewelry Co., Ltd.", which is of ulterior motives.

What is jewelry?

How dare to call jewelry without diamonds!

Many people only know that Zheng Yutong is the largest diamond merchant on Hong Kong Island in later generations; but they don’t know that Liao Guichang was the first to have a De Beer license on Hong Kong Island.

Liao Guichang’s family has been in the business of diamond watches since World War II.

The family owns a diamond processing factory in Wong Chuk Hang. The factory is heavily guarded and no outsiders are allowed to enter.

It is said that the diamond watches on the display cabinets of Liao's watch store are inlaid with tiny diamonds, which are worth tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, even tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

The price of a watch is almost equal to half a jewelry store!

Many businessmen on Hong Kong Island are extremely envious, but they don’t have any channels, so they have to look at them eagerly.

Naturally, Wu Guangyao also envied him, but because of lack of funds and channels, he could only sigh.

Now it’s different. With Lao Fengxiang’s current financial situation, he can get a loan at any time, and there is only one channel.

Wu Guangyao is not in a hurry. As long as he can acquire a South African diamond processing factory with financial problems within three or five years, he will be satisfied.

Someone wants to ask, why not go to South Africa to import diamonds right away?

This involves the issue of De Beer’s license. 90% of the world’s diamonds are monopolized by De Beers. The diamonds operated by De Beers are distributed to customers all over the world, and a total of about 500 diamonds are issued. Bill license.

Customers can purchase a certain limit of diamonds with a license. Without such a license, they cannot buy rough diamonds.

De Beer’s license has been divided up a long time ago, and even if the license of a certain company is revoked, it will not be the turn of the small Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, there is no hope of obtaining rough diamonds by taking the normal route.

However, many private companies in South Africa hold De Beer licenses, and they have ready-made processing technologies.

Wu Guangyao was the idea of ​​these companies. It is a company's financial problems, let alone a diamond processing factory.

Therefore, as long as there is a target within three to five years, Wu Guangyao will immediately take the money to buy it.

settled his attention, called Rong Bensheng, planning to let him go to South Africa to find a reliable consulting company as an intermediary.

"Mr. Wu, do you call me?" Rong Bensheng quickly adapted to the presidential system and no longer called Wu Guangyao the boss.

"Well, do you know diamonds, we Lao Fengxiang must have our own diamond channel to do diamond business!" Wu Guangyao said firmly.

"But the De Beer license is not easy to obtain. If there is no De Beer license, we have to go to the London headquarters of De Beers to import diamonds. The price is very high and the profit will not be high!" Rong Bensheng said.

Wu Guangyao told Rong Bensheng of the plan. When Rong Ben heard it, his eyes lit up and he said, "This is a good way, but it takes longer!"

"It doesn't matter if the time is longer, anyway, the current consumption level on Hong Kong Island is not high, take it easy!"

"Well, as long as there is a goal, it will definitely be achieved. I will go to South Africa and find an agency to help us pay attention!" Rong Bensheng actively asked.

"Well, I just meant it!"

Wu Guangyao thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing to explain. The abilities of these deputies were not worse than his own, and there was no need for him to do anything more.

I just understand the general trend and history, so I can calm these people!

At the end of June, the Korean war broke out. Wu Guangyao knew that the crisis on Hong Kong Island was about to disappear, but another crisis was about to come.

Fortunately, for the so-called other crisis, Wu Guangyao has been preparing for two years, so naturally he is not afraid.

The supply of zippers and ready-made clothes in the United States has been transferred to Sing Tao. Naturally, the United States is not afraid of trade blockade.

Wu Guangyao came to Dongfang Newspaper and told Shen Baoxing: “In the future, we will grab news about wars that took place in North Korea and try to get ahead of other newspapers on Hong Kong Island. But remember to report news neutrally and don’t favor any side!”

Shen Baoxing had already learned about Wu Guangyao’s prophet. Since letting himself report this kind of news, it obviously has a very important influence on the company.

"Yes, I will arrange for someone to watch the news over there!"

Wu Guangyao nodded, without saying too much. He is just a small businessman and cannot influence any major events.

However, the warehouse on the other side of Macau stores nearly one million Hong Kong dollars worth of goods, which are all urgently needed items on the other side.

Such as black iron sheet, iron bucket, western medicine, gauze, etc.

Of course, these things need to be transported by Huo Yingdong, Wu Guangyao does not have the courage.

People are selfish. Only people who have nothing will take risks. There is no questioning.

Universal Building, located on Queen's Road in Central on the main island of Hong Kong Island, is the most prosperous area on Hong Kong Island.

The top floor of the Global Building, which is the sixth floor, is Wu Guangyao's office, and Wu Guangyao alone works on the sixth floor.

It’s not that Wu Guangyao is showing off, but He Yuanzhang feels that the five floors below are already sufficient, and there is no need for everyone to work on the sixth floor.

"It seems that if we want to acquire Hong Kong Island Airlines in the future, it will be very difficult!" Wu Guangyao said to He Yuanzhang.

"Well, an almost impossible task. The two main shareholders of Island Airlines, one is British Overseas Airlines and the other is Jardine International Holdings. The two shares occupy 80%. If we contact other minority shareholders privately, even if they are all acquired , It is of no avail. However, British Overseas Airlines is a British state-owned company, so naturally it will not sell our shares. Even if he sells the shares, he will choose to sell it to Jardine Matheson."

He Yuanzhang Speaking of Yihe, he chose not to continue, because everyone knows that Yihe is notoriously good for money.

Moreover, Jardine will not sell its shares to Wu Guangyao!

This is difficult. Wu Guangyao has always thought that the shares of Hong Kong Island Airlines, like the 48-year-old Cathay Pacific, are in private hands.

Even if he is a British, Wu Guangyao is confident that he will transfer the shares to himself.

No one wants to keep holding a stake in a loss-making company!

But Jardine Jardine and English Overseas Airlines, these two companies are different. They will consider the Z governance factor and remain vigilant towards the Chinese.

If there is no flight license in the hands of Hong Kong Island Airlines, Wu Guangyao is destined to not be able to soar in the sky. This is not allowed by a crossing person.

After He Yuanzhang left, Wu Guangyao began to stand in front of the window, watching the prosperity of Queen's Road and the busyness of Victoria Harbour, but his mind was running at high speed.

Although it is difficult, Wu Guangyao is not the kind of person who gives up when he sees difficulties.

Maybe it was an hour, maybe it was two hours, Wu Guangyao turned around, then quickly came to the phone and dialed the call.

"Sandas, have two drinks together at night!" Without much words, Wu Guangyao went straight ahead.

Sundus, who was opposite, did not hesitate, and agreed to Wu Guangyao's invitation.

The cooperation between the two can be said to have broken through the country's restrictions. It has truly become the relationship between you and me, and I also rely on you.

Sundus currently has appointed HSBC's loan business manager, but has not yet formally performed his duties, and Sandus has looked at the position of chairman of HSBC, and even the position of HSBC's chief executive.

If you want to think about these two positions, you must make great achievements and bring huge profits to HSBC. Only then can there be hope.

And Wu Guangyao is exactly this hope. Sundars participated in Wu Guangyao's global shipping, Cheung Kong Holdings and other companies' business; in Wu Guangyao, he saw the shadow of a businessman with vision, courage and charm.

To invest in this kind of talent is to invest in your own future!

And Wu Guangyao also needs Sandus. Without the support of HSBC, Global Shipping will undoubtedly develop very slowly, as does Cheung Kong Holdings.

And Wu Guangyao also needs people. As his official background, there is no doubt that HSBC, a giant, is very suitable for him.

Based on these relationships, the two became true friends and partners.
