Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

In fact, Bao Zixuan thought about running a hotel project by himself and making money. But you can't feel it now. Once the mainland's economy develops in a few decades, the most central areas of all major cities in the country will be occupied by Hutchison Whampoa. It can bring in huge amounts of income every day, except for the Heiyun employees; no one can benefit, and it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

Bringing Michael Kadoorie, a Jew, in, he can share a lot of pressure. Moreover, Mr. Bao has already thought about not only getting the Kadoorie family to join the business, but also bringing in several more powerful companies. While sharing funds, you can also share other risks.

The matter has been negotiated, and Michael Kadoorie's attitude makes him very satisfied. Everything is dominated by Hutchison Whampoa. They are only responsible for investing and managing hotels and are not involved in other matters. In other words, Bao Shaofu has no opinion on how Hutchison Plaza should be planned. It's good to deal with smart people, it can save you a lot of trouble.

The recent events involving Shark Dantong have made him so busy. When the time comes, we must deal with him well and let him know that it is not that he will not retaliate, but the time has not yet come. Moreover, retaliation must scare the enemy once and for all and let the Zheng family know the consequences of offending him. Of course, Shark Dan has so many industries and has been accumulated for many years. It is unrealistic to let it go bankrupt! But even if you don't beat him to death with a stick, there is still no problem in peeling off a layer of skin.

After leaving the Peninsula Hotel, Mr. Bao returned to the company. Because I had an appointment with Lee Shau Kee at noon, I came directly from home in the morning. Thinking that he would meet with a woman from the Rothschild family in the evening, it was better to take care of the company affairs first.

Before coming to the company, Huo Jianning, the general manager of Hutchison Whampoa Company, had been notified to meet in the office. Many things still need to be explained in advance, and at least the person in charge of Hutchison Whampoa must be mentally prepared!

The boss never cared about the situation of Hutchison Whampoa Company before, so why did he just act on a whim today? Could it be that there was some big move, otherwise I would never have been asked to report on the work. Although Hutchison Whampoa is one of the four major foreign banks in Hong Kong, its own strength is not weak. But compared with Heiyun Group, it seems that no matter how big the company is, it is like a small, medium and micro company, so Huo Jianning doesn't know what to say!

Mr. Bao didn't care at all about the management of Hutchison Whampoa. It's more of a pseudonym, Huo Jianning is responsible for all matters big and small. As for Heiyun employees, who are Hutchison Whampoa's shareholders, they are usually so busy that they have no time to take care of this! Li Chaoren is also a smart man. He can just wait for the dividends from his few shares. Unless there is an occasion where a director is required to appear, he will never come to the company; let alone claim to be a director of Hutchison Whampoa!

Huo Jianning came directly to Bao Zixuan's office and saw what his boss was writing on the paper, so he didn't bother him.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Sit down first and pour whatever you want to drink; wait for me for three minutes."

Huo Jianning was not polite and poured himself a cup of tea. I was in a hurry when I came here, and now I'm really thirsty!

Sure enough, as soon as the three minutes were up, Bao Zixuan put down his work. Huo Jianning really couldn't say much about the boss's control of time; he didn't know whether he did it deliberately to show himself or whether he had already calculated it. If it's the former, it means that the boss still takes him very seriously, at least he didn't make him wait that long; three minutes is not considered a show of force. If it's the latter, then this man is too scary.

Work in precise minutes every day, and ask what kind of things you can’t do well!

Bao Zixuan: "I called you here mainly because I have something to discuss with you. I also want to hear about Hutchison Whampoa's recent development and how Heiyun needs to cooperate."

The boss said he was discussing with you, which was definitely a polite statement. So far, Bao Zixuan has never made any mistakes in his decision-making. He just needs to execute the orders and there is really no need to think about anything else. But the report still needs to be reported. This is the most basic work process. Huo Jianning is not only the general manager of Hutchison Whampoa, but also a shareholder; although the shares are not large, they are enough to join the board of directors.

Huo Jianning: "Currently Hutchison Whampoa does not have any big projects in Xiangjiang, and it is reducing the scale of investment!"

"The most important project is in Fucaira, mainly investing in local ports and infrastructure construction. In mainland China, we have participated in the investment of the Humen Bridge and Shanghai Pudong International Airport projects; as well as some investments in Japan. Of course, there are some sporadic investments. It’s a small project, but the overall scale is not very big.”

Regarding the investment in Xiangjiang, Bao Shaofu has already made plans long ago. In the future, all Heiyun-related enterprises must focus on Heiyun Town. Therefore, it is a normal strategic plan for Hutchison Whampoa to shrink the scale of the Xiangjiang project. As for the investment in Fucaira port and infrastructure, it is related to the future retreat of Mr. Bao, which is of course the top priority. There may not be any benefits in the short term, and it is a strategic value project in itself, which is greater than the economic value project. Of course it's best if you can make money, but even if you can't, it doesn't matter much.

As for the Humen Bridge, Bao Zixuan is the largest shareholder. But they participated in the name of two companies. Heiyun Group and Hutchison Whampoa are working together, so that they will not be too exposed, and at least they can share some of the pressure with each other. No one would have thought that 30 years later, the bridge would be comparable to a super money printing machine, and it could be regarded as a nip in the bud!

Hutchison Whampoa Company is the main force in the Pudong project. The project is currently progressing step by step, so there is no need to worry too much. As for the Japanese project, it is even more of a cover. After all, Hutchison Whampoa owns real estate and infrastructure companies, which makes the Japanese believe that it used to be for housing construction, which can increase credibility.

However, Hutchison Whampoa must sell off the project within three years at most. All funds will be transferred out of Japan, and none will be retained; at most, Japan will retain some industries that cannot be bought with any amount of money in the future, and forget about the rest!

Bao Zixuan: "I completely believe in your ability, so you don't have to have any worries, just do whatever you want!"

"I asked you to come here this time. There is still an important project for you to complete."

After saying that, he handed Huo Jianning the plan he just wrote and the blueprint.

Huo Jianning looked at the information handed over by his boss with both hands and read it carefully. There were only three short pages, but after seeing the content, Huo Jianning was still frightened. If someone else had given it to him, he would have been thrown into the trash can immediately, and he would have been told that he was crazy!

But the person who handed him the document was his boss, the richest man in the world, and almost none of them. Then it doesn't seem like a joke, let alone whimsical.

Huo Jianning: "Boss, although this information is short, the content is too shocking, and it is a bit difficult to accept and understand at the moment, so please let me slow down for a while."

Bao Zixuan also knew that it would be difficult for people to accept it directly. It is not difficult to guess what Michael Kadoorie was feeling at that time. But this kid actually agreed directly, which shows that no one trusts him!

Huo Jianning's ideological realm and vision have not yet reached the level, so he was forced to take up a high position all of a sudden. Maybe my ability is good, but without time and experience, it seems that I am still a little short of the mark! Moreover, when Bao Zixuan introduced it to Michael Kadoorie, he only said that there were 50 of them. However, the information given to Huo Jianning showed that there were 100 Hutchison Plazas, and all the cities were listed.

That shows that Bao Shoufang is very serious and at least has the most basic plan. A super rich man, coupled with a resolute person; once he has a plan, he must implement it quickly. But how much money is needed to build 100 Hutchison Plazas? Even in China, where labor is cheap and land is cheap, it will be an astronomical sum.

Bao Zixuan didn't push him. Adaptation requires a process.

Fortunately, Huo Jianning did not disappoint and recovered in less than 5 minutes.

Huo Jianning: "Boss, this plan is too huge, and the funds required are astronomical. Not to mention the cost of land acquisition, the construction cost alone, even if Hutchison Whampoa is sold, we can't afford it."

Although Hutchison Whampoa has grown rapidly since Mr. Bao took over, and it has the old foundation of the four major foreign banks in Hong Kong. The company's scale can definitely be ranked among the top ten in Xiangjiang. But to build so many large-scale business plazas at once; even if they are all in mainland China, the funds required are unaffordable.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "It's not a one-off, this is a ten or twenty-year plan. It doesn't matter if you lose money in the early stage, we are betting on tomorrow."
