Taking advantage of the fair's aboveboard opportunity, it is obvious that Gao Xian's contact with Huo Yingdong and others in Yangcheng is relaxed.
Gao Xian remembered one thing, so he found a gap and asked Huo Yingdong, "Huo Sheng, I remember that a few years ago, Huo's yourong engineering company stood out in the international bidding for the container terminal and deep-water port in Bajia Bay, wenleslie, defeated more than 20 other competitors and won the bid in one fell swoop. It is 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 unknowable compliment, couldn't help smiling and frankly replied, "this project is in the charge of Gouzi Zhenting. Now it's coming to an end and will be put into use soon."
Gao Xian nodded suddenly and continued to ask, "how much does Huo Sheng know about the Zhengzhi economic situation in Brunei?"
"On the whole, I know a little." Huo Yingdong mused: "at present, Brunei is still a protectorate of Britain, but it has achieved internal autonomy this year."
"Although Brunei has a small area, which is about five times larger than the Xiangjiang River, it is rich in oil and natural gas reserves, second only to Indonesia in Southeast Asia."
"It is precisely because of this resource advantage that Brunei has decided to build a container terminal and deep-water port in the Gulf of sribaga to accelerate the development of its economy."
After a brief and comprehensive introduction, Huo Yingdong asked curiously, "why, is Mr. Gao interested in Brunei's investment environment?"
"The construction of the container terminal and deep-water port in Bandar Seri Begawan just shows that Brunei's oil industry is still in its infancy, which often means good investment opportunities." Gao Xian did not deny his idea, "by the way, Huo Sheng, you didn't invest in the local oil industry in Brunei except for the successful container terminal and deep-water port project?"
"After all, if yourong engineering company can successfully complete such a large project, Huo must have a certain network resource base in Brunei to support other investment activities."
Huo Yingdong nodded. "There are several university students in Zhenting, who belong to the children of local dignitaries in Brunei. They really provide quite good contacts."
"However, the issues that need to be considered in investing in the oil industry are more complex. Even if you don't worry about the change of the situation in Brunei and add variables to the already long investment return cycle, you should also see that Brunei oil will face great competitive pressure in the face of high-quality Middle East oil."
"Huo Sheng's analysis is reasonable." Gao Xian nodded when he was taught. However, the thought in his heart was, "when the global oil crisis breaks out, it's good to have oil available. Where can we care about the quality! Not to mention the oil fields to be explored in the North Sea in Europe and the Gulf of Mexico in America, which are still regarded as bottomless holes at this stage, even China's oil can be exported."
Although the investment attitude was cautious, Huo Yingdong still enthusiastically said, "if Mr. Gao has time, I can accompany him to Brunei."
These words hit Gao Xian's heart. After repeatedly thanking him, he agreed to say, "then Lao Huosheng, find a suitable time to take me to Brunei in the second half of this year."
After Huo Yingdong readily agreed, he said with emotion: "Mr. Gao's heroic spirit of fighting and forging ahead is really enviable."
Gao Xian observed Huo Yingdong's look and felt that he was really expressing his mood at this time.
Gao Xian quite understands this,
Before 1967, Huo Yingdong was absolutely in high spirits at the Xiangjiang shopping mall. He manipulated all kinds of things and never missed; However, after 1967, Huo Yingdong was obviously suppressed and had to hide his edge and keep a low profile.
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 consortia with a respective contribution of HK $7.5 million, a total of HK $30 million.
However, of the HK $22.5 million invested by Huo Yingdong, HK $10 million was borrowed from Huifeng bank with Huo Yingdong as the guarantor.
In other words, in the investment of xingguangxing, Huo Yingdong undertook a total of HK $17.5 million.
On the one hand, it reflects that Huo Yingdong is rich and has sufficient funds. On the other hand, it also shows that Huo Yingdong is optimistic about Xingguang.
Unfortunately, since then, Huo Yingdong has been suppressed without disguise.
First of all, the American consul in Xiangjiang said that the tenants of xingguangxing could not buy all American goods, including cash registers.
As soon as this move was made, the rental operation of Xingguang bank was suddenly one of them.
Huo Yingdong's response is to reduce the rent by only 90 cents per foot.
Sure enough, the tenants were intrigued again.
The Americans had a show, and the British naturally followed.
Xiangjiang telephone and Telegraph Company issued a notice that the telephone opening time of Xingguang tenants could not be guaranteed.
Even the basic telephone service could not be opened, and the tenants naturally withdrew completely.
When the situation develops here, the shareholders of xingguangxing don't want to consume it. They quickly sell the commercial building and finish it.
Reasonably speaking, it would be natural for Huo Yingdong to directly buy the shares of other consortia with his financial resources.
However, some shareholders disagree because they prefer to give to friends rather than domestic slaves. Originally, everyone was a shareholder with equal status, but once Huo Yingdong purchased all the shares, wouldn't other shareholders suddenly look inferior to Huo Yingdong and have a lower status!
Therefore, the land company appeared as an "AIA" and offered HK $37.5 million to buy Xingguang bank.
As a result, when the acquisition was half completed, the land company made another bad move. It could only give 17.5 million Hong Kong dollars in cash first, and the rest was owed by commercial promissory notes.
It can be said that Huo Yingdong not only suffered heavy losses, but also handed over xingguangxing to land acquisition company in a humiliating way.
The second example of Huo Yingdong being obviously suppressed is that he was optimistic about the emerging container shipping, so he threw himself into Kwai Chung container terminal 1.
At this time, the Hong Kong government put forward the condition that Huo Yingdong should ensure that at least 200000 containers are parked at the wharf every year before the project can be developed.
You know, at this stage, there are no 200000 containers in Xiangjiang.
In desperation, Huo Yingdong had to give up the container terminal No. 1 in Kwai Chung.
So far, if Huo Yingdong still doesn't understand that he has been accurately suppressed by the United States and Britain, his suffering will be in vain. Huo's yourong engineering company, which undertook the construction of wenleslie baga Bay container terminal and deep-water port, has not gone outside to seek a breakthrough after the development space of Xiangjiang is limited.
Gao Xian thought that it should be possible to deceive Huo Yingdong into investing in the "non western mainstream" market outside Xiangjiang according to his current situation.
Of course, the crackdown on Huo Yingdong in Xiangjiang was not untouched. He wanted to compete with Jardine for the high string of the milk company.
However, in Gao Xian's view, the best way to deal with it is to make yourself a world-renowned tycoon, and then any force should consider the cost before starting.
Like amod hammer, the iron curtain of the cold war could not stop him from shuttling between the West and the East.
Some exceptions are real, but they are unknown to the public.
As long as Gao Xian does well in these exceptional "porters", it is enough to create all kinds of miracles.
