Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

The matter of personal computers and home appliances has been settled; at least both parties are satisfied, and it is a happy situation. Then whatever the Saudi royal family wants to buy next, they can put it forward. In the internal meeting of the Saudi delegation just now, Prince Sultan has promised these juniors that he will help them connect and will fully support the development of their respective careers.

Golden words, a prince's promise, must be fulfilled.

Prince Sultan said to Bao Zixuan: "There are still some capable members of the Saudi royal family. They want to start their own business and do something; they hope to buy some machinery and equipment to go back. I have already made a guarantee with others to help with the matchmaking; at the same time I guarantee you can get a reasonable price and won’t make it difficult for you!”

Bao Zixuan really wouldn't refuse the relationship between the two. And when business comes to your door, no one can push people away.

However, for a business of this scale, there is no need for Mr. Bao to take action personally. The company supports so many people, so we can't just take a salary and do nothing.

Prince Sultan and Bao Zixuan came to the teahouse and basically didn't use it. It can be said that this is the first time to entertain customers, but there are cleaners cleaning every day, so there is absolutely no problem with the hygiene.

Whether the boss comes or not is his business, but since he pays you a salary, you must do your job well. If you suddenly come over one day and see that nothing has been done, it is estimated that the days of dark clouds will be over.

Although this is a very small thing, it can also explain a lot of problems from the side. Don’t look at the thinking of science and engineering men through ordinary people’s eyes, because normal people simply can’t understand it.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "There must be other things, as long as I can do it, there will be absolutely no problem."

Hearing this, Prince Sultan felt a little embarrassed. Unexpectedly, people had noticed it a long time ago, but he was still pretending to be mysterious. So he said with a smile: "I can't hide anything from you. With your advice, food production in Saudi Arabia has steadily increased. It can not only meet the domestic market demand, but also export to surrounding countries."

"But just exporting food will not benefit the people; it will also put a lot of pressure on the government's finances. After all, in order to encourage people to grow food, the Saudi government needs to purchase the food at a high price and then sell it at a uniform price."

"Before, there was no problem if the quantity was small, but now food production is increasing; it is difficult for the government to support this huge expenditure."

"Therefore, before going abroad, we discussed with the king and decided. Establishing a food processing enterprise in Saudi Arabia will account for part of the food export; directly exporting food can be regarded as an additional benefit."

Saudi Arabia is mainly composed of large deserts and plateaus, with very little arable land, accounting for only 0.2% of the country's total area. In addition, due to the large number of deserts and dry climate with little rainfall, the highest temperature can reach 54°C and the average annual rainfall is only 60 mm. This is Saudi Arabia, where most of the country is desert and desert plateau, without a single river or lake! Northern Saudi Arabia is the place with the best agricultural conditions. Its average annual precipitation is only 100-200 mm, and the maximum temperature can reach 54 degrees. Compared with agriculture, the conditions are also very poor.

Because Heiyun Group provides seawater desalination technology and purchases a large amount of corrosive soil from the Soviet Union; more importantly, it is the Saudi royal family's investment regardless of cost. Saudi agriculture has grown rapidly, which can even be described as terrifying.

Since Saudi Arabia began to vigorously develop agriculture, wheat output has increased sharply from more than 200,000 tons per year to more than 4 million tons, of which 1.6 million tons are available for export. Saudi Arabia has achieved its goal of becoming self-sufficient in grain and once entered the ranks of major wheat exporters. For a desert country, the rate of increase in food production is admirable.

Such an effect can be achieved mainly because Saudi Arabia has a good foundation and the government's policy of strongly supporting agriculture. Since the overall income of the Saudi people is quite high and most of the population is concentrated in cities, there are very few people who are willing to take the initiative to engage in agriculture in the desert. Therefore, the Saudi government has taken measures such as issuing low-interest loans, subsidizing agricultural production, and purchasing wheat at high prices; it has encouraged people to engage in farming and go to the depths of the desert to open up wasteland and cultivate land.

A bumper grain harvest would have been a good thing, but there were problems with sales. Although the Arab brother countries in the Middle East need it, they cannot use that much. No one can eat wheat every day, which makes the Saudi royal family happy and miserable at the same time.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "It's not good to have too much food. There are many countries in the world that don't have enough food to eat."

"Heiyun Group can purchase a batch of wheat from the Saudi government, so many employees around the world need to eat; and I also own Hutchison Whampoa Company, which owns a large supermarket, and can also help sell part of it. The rest can be sold to mainland China, In Japan, South Korea, the Soviet Union and other places, won’t things be solved?”

In fact, Bao Shaofu knew what was going on, but there were some things he couldn't say.

In order to encourage agriculture and increase the number of farmers, the Saudi government deliberately increased the purchase price of wheat. As a result, all wheat produced in the country will be purchased by the government at a high price. There are even speculators who actually buy wheat from abroad and then sell it to the Saudi government. They are simply taking advantage of them.

Prince Sultan: "Although this method is good, it cannot solve the fundamental problem. Now we only hope to establish food processing enterprises, which can not only accelerate the diversified development of Saudi agriculture, but also increase the added value of agricultural products."

"As for European and American food processing companies, we still can't rest assured. Food is the top priority for a country; in other countries, it may be more important than oil."

There is nothing wrong with this. Except for the Middle East countries, in other countries in the world, food is really more important than oil.

Without oil, we can continue to live; but without food, we will only starve to death.

Bao Zixuan: "There is no need to hide anything between us. If you have anything to say, just tell us."

Prince Sultan: "I came to Xiangjiang this time just to find a few food processing companies; at least famous food tycoons in Southeast Asia. Let them go to Saudi Arabia to invest and build factories. As for the conditions, everything is easy to negotiate."

Heiyun Group has not yet entered the food field, and Bao Zixuan is not planning to enter. At present, Hutchison Whampoa's supermarkets are already selling daily necessities and rice, noodles, grains and oils. If you enter the field of deep processing of grains, you will definitely be resented.

It's impossible for you to do all the business, so will others still have a way to survive?

Once Heiyun Group enters the field of grain deep processing, not only the food industry, but other industries may also be on guard against you. If we enter the field of grain deep processing today, will we go to other industries to cause trouble tomorrow? Heiyun Group's huge size and strong strength will make the dominant enterprises in that field fearful if it enters any field.

If you make too many enemies, even if your own strength becomes stronger, the final outcome will not be good. The most prosperous dynasty will inevitably fall, and any powerful dynasty will eventually collapse. Bao, the richest man, does not want to die too early.

Bao Zixuan: "There are several food processing companies in Xiangjiang, and they are somewhat well-known internationally. However, we have not had much business dealings with Heiyun Group before, so we are not very familiar with it. But I can help you make an appointment. As for what the negotiation can be like ; I will not participate in the communication between you two."

Although there is no business relationship, Bao Zixuan believes that as long as he asks the other party out, he will still give him face. After all, the title of the richest man in Hong Kong is not in vain; and there is a saying in Hong Kong and even the world that no one will refuse the invitation of the richest man Bao.

If you can help hook people up, things will be much easier to handle. In fact, given his status as a Saudi prince, any company in the past would have been warmly received. But there are some things that you just can’t let go of, and the most important thing is not to be too proactive. The royal family has the pride of the royal family and must not be like the common people, regardless of face and reputation.

I am relatively familiar with Bao Zixuan, and he does have the ability to challenge the royal families of various countries. Coupled with the fact that he has become his son-in-law, Prince Sultan seems to be indifferent.

But for ordinary businessmen, absolutely not. Now that the richest man Bao has come forward, I believe everyone will give him face. Coupled with the great sincerity shown by Saudi Arabia, I believe that Xiangjiang businessmen will definitely know how to choose as long as they are not stupid.

What Bao Zixuan didn't know was that Prince Sultan had already plotted against him. The Xiangjiang businessmen who came through him would basically think that the richest man Bao of the Heiyun Group was involved, otherwise why would he be so active.

As long as these are present, it is enough. It doesn’t cost much at all to set up a food processing business. The brand and formula are the top priority; otherwise, the Saudi royal family would have done this business themselves, and it would be someone else's turn.
