Gao Xian has a good reputation. As soon as he says he wants to ship, the representatives of various shipping companies are naturally overjoyed and willing to transfer transportation capacity.

Chartering is only one aspect. Gao Xian also hopes that the supporting crew will have rich experience and be familiar with the sea conditions around the Indochina Peninsula.

Therefore, after the meeting, Gao Xian invited Zhao Shipeng and others to have lunch for further discussion.

They didn't go anywhere else, so they had a working meal in the canteen of happy group.

Through the acquisition of the milk company, the happy group does not lack office space. Even Gaoyi has moved here temporarily because of the demolition and reconstruction of the Chinese bank.

The logistics support of the happy group has also been upgraded, which is enough to ensure that they are comfortable to eat.

Gao Xian privately told Zhao Shipeng of his special requirements, that is, the cargo ship should also have the ability to carry a large number of people, such as the scene of retreating from the land battlefield.

Zhao Shipeng was bored when he heard this, but he knew the rules and never broke the casserole. Anyway, Gao Xian had such a big family business in Xiangjiang that it was impossible to do illegal activities.

Gao Xiangang was ready to ask about Shanghua culture. The Secretary Hui reported: "qidezun of Heji Daban wants to meet you. It's best to invite you to dinner."

Like Gao Xian, a boss with endless work at hand, his time is extremely precious. He makes plans in advance for what he does and who he meets.

But in Gao Xian's impression, Qi dezun and himself have no such obvious arrangement of asking for something.

After scanning the documents on the desk, Gao Xian touched his moustache and said, "inform Shanghua culture and let them wait."

……

After sitting down, Gao Xian noticed that there was blood in each other's eyes. It was estimated that he didn't have a good rest.

"Mr. Gao, I have something to ask for this meeting." Qi dezun couldn't wait, and the conversation was straight to the point.

"What do you want?" Gao Xian said with a smile, "anyway, I'm also a director of Hutchison. If I can help, I'm bound to be duty bound."

Qi dezun looked straight at Gao Xian and said slowly, "I want to borrow money from Mr. Gao for the capital turnover of Hutchison."

Gao Xian asked calmly, "how much are you going to borrow?"

Qi dezun hesitated for a moment, and then replied in a tentative tone, "150 million Hong Kong dollars."

Hearing this figure, Gao Xian was amused. "What is the market value of Hutchison now? Is it 600 million Hong Kong dollars?"

Qi dezun heard that Gao Xian's tone did not contain malice, but was just joking and curious. Therefore, he did not hide his depression and muttered: "now the Xiangjiang stock market has fallen by only more than 100 points in the Hang Seng Index, and the share price of Hutchison is only more than one yuan. This is the general trend. What reference significance does it have to tangle with the index of market value?"

For Qi dezun's Gu Zuo's other words, Gao Xian didn't take it seriously, but said leisurely: "now, everyone knows that my oil investment is very successful. If I say, I don't have money to lend you, can you believe it?"

Elder Qi de sighed and said with a happy face, "so you promised to save the Jianghu!"

"Of course I can lend you the money to help Hutchison make a turnover." Gao Xian said faintly, "but before that, you have to let me know how difficult Hutchison is at present."

Qi dezun rubbed his face hard and said absently, "I don't know where to start. Who can think of the unprecedented stock disaster in Xiangjiang stock market, followed by the global oil crisis!"

"Hutchison is holding on now. As long as there is a mistake, such as large-scale layoffs and the closure of subsidiaries, it will become a signal before the crash and let the outside world see a lot of holes."

After all, Qi dezun is one of the four British funded foreign firms in Xiangjiang. His identity is different in Xiangjiang. Gao Xian can't ask East and West with his ears like his son.

So Gao Xian turned to ask, "didn't you ask Huifeng bank for help before you asked me to borrow money?"

Qi dezun said with a bitter smile, "believe it or not, as long as I speak to Huifeng bank, I will lose my position and step down and leave."

Gao Xian thought again, pointed to the core of the problem and said, "have you thought about it? Heji borrowed money from Gao Yi. What kind of mortgage do you use?"

Qi dezun said brazenly, "otherwise, you can simply become a shareholder of Hutchison in the form of capital raising by Hutchison shares."

After quickly weighing the pros and cons between the two roles of shareholders and creditors, Gao Xian put on a confident look and helped Qi dezun analyze: "the share price of Hutchison is so low now. If I become a shareholder of Hutchison, I will inevitably take advantage of the fire and threaten your position. I'd better be a creditor of Hutchison."

Although Gao Xian spoke so beautifully, Qi dezun could still taste the firm refusal.

"Mr. Gao is no stranger to the structure of Hutchison. Just order directly and what collateral you want." Qi dezun kicked the ball back helpless.

Gao Xian pretended to think about it, and then made a condition: "in this way, you mortgage the shares of Huangpu dock and BTV to Gaoyi."

In 1969, after the stock market in Xiangjiang obviously warmed up, Qi dezun raised HK $72 million by raising funds through stock rights, acquired 30% of the equity of Huangpu shipyard and controlled the old company.

In the next few years before the stock disaster in Xiangjiang stock market, Qi dezun commanded Huangpu dock and continued to use capital leverage to expand wantonly.

In Gao Xian's view, there are at least two things that can be accepted as collateral for Huangpu dock. One is the land reserve of Huangpu dock, and the other is the No. 4 container terminal that Huangpu dock is still building in Kwai Tsing.

In recent years, the container mode of international shipping has a promising future, and the port of Xiangjiang has joined the ranks. Moreover, the No. 1 Kwai Tsing container terminal, No. 2 Kwai Tsing container terminal and No. 3 Kwai Tsing container terminal have been completed and put into use in 1972. Only the No. 4 Kwai Tsing container terminal of Huangpu dock has lagged behind and has not been completed so far.

On the BTV side, Hutchison foreign bank and Huifeng bank are the largest corporate shareholders, with 2.36 million shares each.

Of course, in terms of value, Hutchison's shares in BTV can't be compared with its control in Huangpu dock, which is equivalent to a gift.

Gao Xian's offer of these conditions is true, but from the current market value, Hutchison's shares in Huangpu dock and BTV may not be worth HK $150 million.

Qi dezun also knew this clearly, so instead of complaining about Gao Xian's making trouble for himself, he had to thank the other party for his kindness, so he agreed on the spot: "yes. How much can Mr. Gao discount the loan term and interest rate?"
