Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 140 HSBC Tower

   The next morning

   Yang Chen first sent Xue Yufei to Repulse Bay, and after meeting with He Chaoqiong, he turned to HSBC.

   At this time, the HSBC Bank Building was not the famous new HSBC Bank Building in later generations.

The landmark building of the new HSBC Bank is located in the most prosperous Central District in Hong Kong, sandwiched between Queen's Road Central and Des Voeux Road, adjacent to Statue Square, Standard Chartered Bank Building, and also close to the New HSBC at MTR Central Station building.

  It will not be until July this year that the Taipan King in front of us will officially announce the start of construction.

   The new HSBC Building with a budget of HK$5 billion is definitely the most expensive building in this era.

   With such a wealth of money, only HSBC can take the shot. At the same time, this also reflects the influence of Shen porridge on HSBC.

   After all, if it costs such a large amount of money to build a building, if there is no absolute power, it is difficult to pass through the shareholder model of HSBC.

   After Yang Chen came to HSBC, he didn't rush to see Shen Porridge, but went to send money to Alisha first.

  The matter of the TV station, the sooner the better, the longer the time, the more dreams will inevitably arise.

  As the King of the Taipan, Shen Conge goes to work on time every day. After all, he is just a wage earner, not the boss of HSBC.

   His work attitude is an example for all HSBC employees to learn from. As an example, he must take the lead in doing his part.

   When Yang Chen was sending money, Shen Conge, who was sitting in the office, had already received the news, and he immediately notified his secretary to pick up Yang Chen.

  Shen Porridge has been in Xiangjiang for many years, and he has learned some Chinese ways of dealing with people.

   When Yang Chen came to the office, Shen Conge was not in a hurry to discuss things with him, but instead greeted Yang Chen to have breakfast together.

   Maybe because of the time issue, Shen Porridge likes to have breakfast in the office every day. Most of the time, he listens to the secretary's report while eating.

   In the face of this foreign old man who was talking like Father Xue, Yang Chen couldn't help doubting in his heart. If it wasn't for the fact that the other person had a familiar white face, he would have thought that he was the wrong person.

   It's no wonder that Yang Chen is suspicious. As the head of the HSBC Bank, Shen Conge has to deal with a lot of business every day. Procrastination is definitely not the style of the other party.

   Of course, there are exceptions to everything. For a young man like Yang Chen, who has already guessed the general purpose of his visit, and who values ​​him very much, Shen porridge naturally spends some time building a friendship between the two.

  The way of doing things for the Chinese is to do things at the wine table and slowly connect two unfamiliar people together.

  Shen Conggui is the HSBC Taipan King. It is very necessary to win over a potential customer like Yang Chen and establish a personal relationship with him.

   In the face of the friendliness of this Taipan King who has the title of "Uncrowned Hong Kong Governor" in the outside world, Yang Chen is also flattered.

   After some small talk, the relationship between the two also shortened the distance in time.

   "Mr. Yang, some time ago, you made a lot of noise. Someone called me in person to ask me about your news."

   "Press?" Yang Chen gave Shen Cong a puzzled look, not understanding what he was referring to.

   He didn't think that the other party would be bored and pay attention to the entertainment industry.

  Shen Porridge did not explain, but asked, "Mr. Yang's next step is to learn from Wal-Mart, enter the retail industry, and build a large supermarket store?"

   Hearing this, Yang Chen instantly understood the meaning of Shen Cong's previous words, and it was obvious that his poaching behavior had been noticed by Wal-Mart executives.

   However, Yang Chen didn't care, because the manpower he needed had already been recruited enough, even if Walmart executives reacted now, it would be useless.

   Thinking of the purpose of coming here today, Yang Chen didn't intend to hide anything, nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Shen, next step I plan to enter the retail industry of Xiangjiang and build a large supermarket belonging to the people of Xiangjiang.

   In addition, I also plan to take advantage of the geopolitics of Hong Kong to expand to neighboring Asian developing countries, take the lead in the western retail giants, seize a favorable position, and establish a large supermarket chain radiating all over Asia. "

  Yang Chen did not shy away from showing his intentions, which made Shen Cong not only surprised by Yang Chen's ambition, but also valued Yang Chen a little more.

  As the chief executive of HSBC, HSBC under the leadership of Shen Cong has always been developing in a developing direction.

  Compared with North America and the West, which already have a complete financial system, it is difficult for HSBC to enter. For a group of developing countries in Asia that have not yet established a complete financial system, the resistance to entry will be much smaller.

   After entering these developing countries, a series of growth data made Shen Conge very optimistic about the potential of these developing countries.

   Think of Xiangjiang twenty or thirty years ago, and the other three little dragons in Asia, and then look at the current development of Xiangjiang and the three little dragons in Asia.

   All this shows that the potential of developing countries is huge.

   At this stage, except for the developed country RB, most of the other developing countries in Asia have not yet entered into large supermarket chains.

   Even if there is, the cultural differences between the East and the West will take time to slowly adjust.

  Compared with Western countries, the geographical location of Xiangjiang is much better. With Xiangjiang always playing the role of exporting to the outside world, once Yang Chen has established a firm foundation in Xiangjiang.

   does not need to be run-in at all, and can quickly radiate to other surrounding countries directly.

   This is the same as Hong Kong movies. As long as the movies that can be welcomed by the people of Hong Kong can basically be welcomed by Asian countries.

  The supermarket has always been closely related to the daily life of the people. It is not simply a matter of money, but the potential influence it contains is the most important.

   At this stage, the wealthy tycoons in Hong Kong are basically vying to build real estate, and there is not much competition in retail businesses such as supermarkets.

   Yang Chen now avoids real estate, does not compete with those big bosses for food, and chooses the retail industry to start with calmly, which has to be said to be a wise move.

   Seeing that Shen Porridge was listening seriously, with a faint expression of approval on his face, Yang Chen continued, "I'm here today to find Mr. Shen. There are three main things I want to ask Mr. Shen for help."

   "Mr. Yang please say"

   Shen Porridge knew that Yang Chen's main topic was coming, he stretched out his hand to signal him to continue speaking, with a look of listening intently.

  Yang Chen raised the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and said slowly, "The first thing, I don't need to mention it, I'm afraid Mr. Shen has already guessed my purpose?"

   Shen Porridge smiled, but still did not speak.
