Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Since His Majesty the King has asked, it is not a business secret. Even for both parties, it is a matter of huge benefit, so there is no need to hide it. Moreover, Kamprad's intention was very obvious, that is, let him announce it; after understanding what the old man was thinking, he was speechless for a while.

It may not be possible now, but when you get older, you really need to learn more from others. You can be arrogant when you are young, but when you get older, you must know how to restrain yourself. Otherwise, outsiders will always think you are not stable enough, and at the same time, your children will have no room to develop.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "I have just basically reached a cooperation agreement with Mr. Kamprad. IKEA will become the furniture supplier of Heiyun Group and Fucaira. The furniture procurement budget of the two places will exceed US$20 billion. , we will hand over most of them to IKEA for production."

"At the same time, IKEA will build a highly automated furniture factory in Fucairah to supply production in the Middle East. In addition, Heiyun Group will develop new woodworking machinery based on the operational needs of IKEA's home production workshops."

Although what Mr. Bao said was very simple, the information revealed inside was not simple at all. An order of US$20 billion is an astronomical figure, especially for a traditional enterprise like furniture. It is estimated that even IKEA and other factories would not be able to accept this order.

It's just a pity that IKEA is not a listed company yet. Otherwise, this order alone can cause the stock price to skyrocket. In fact, the old man and Bao Zixuan are very similar. They both started their businesses when they were less than 20 years old; and they always insisted that the company would not be listed.

Although this makes the company lack funds from the market during its development process. But it can avoid a lot of trouble. When it comes to the most important decisions, no one has the right to interfere. Enterprises can follow their own ideas, what they want to invest in, and develop in that direction; they can do whatever they want!

What makes Kamprad even better is that he knows how to retire after success. I know that I should train my children and hand them over in advance. When I encounter a crisis or need to make a major decision, I will step in to coordinate. Only in this way can children grow up, and even if they die one day, there will be nothing to worry about.

For example, this time in order to get orders from Heiyun Group and Fucaira, the old man decided to take action himself! Although the son is about the same age as Bao Zixuan, the three of them cannot chat with each other alone. If the brothers have differences of opinion during the process, then the order will not be lost, but at least it will make people suspicious of IKEA.

Now that the old man has taken action in person, his sincerity is enough. And you can completely accomplish things according to your inner thoughts. Although he doesn't want to admit it, Bao Zixuan is about the same age as his son, or even younger; but there is still some inequality in status, after all, he is an entrepreneur.

So far, the effect is very good. Although his son did not successfully get involved with Bao Zixuan, as long as both parties can continue to cooperate, there will definitely be a lot of opportunities.

As for why most of the products are purchased from IKEA, not only Kamprad but also others understand this. IKEA mainly produces furniture with a very high cost performance, which means that the quality is not too high. Bao Zixuan, the world's richest man, would definitely not use these pieces of furniture. Therefore, it can only be used in ordinary offices or ordinary employee residences.

The room construction is magnificent and it is not suitable to use IKEA furniture.

The large order worth tens of billions of dollars made people around him envious and at the same time very shocked. After all, the two people had not communicated for a long time. They did not expect to negotiate a large deal worth tens of billions of dollars so quickly. It is really difficult to understand. Are all super tycoons so efficient?

Although it is just an intention and no contract has been signed; even if one party reneges, the other party cannot do anything. But Bao Zixuan dared to say it in front of everyone, which meant that the matter was basically certain. Compared with cooperation, integrity may be more important to Mr. Bao.

Gustav was also very happy, although the cooperation between the two parties was not because of him. But this can be regarded as a witness, and it can also greatly increase the influence of the Nobel Prize. Although the Nobel Prize is a simple award, it has a circle everywhere. Even if the Swedes are being honest, they still have to do something with it.

It was a great opportunity to promote the royal family and the country.

I believe that through this cooperation, the dinner party's influence will definitely be increased; anyone you invite in the future will come rushing over.

At the same time, this also greatly increases national tax revenue. IKEA's headquarters is in Sweden, and its largest factory is also in the country. Through the order, it will not only open up Heiyun Group and Fucaira, but may also drive the Middle East market and China's layout. Although US$20 billion is a lot, it is just an order.

In the future, this order from Heiyun will be used as an opportunity to radiate to more places and open up a larger market.

As national taxes increase, the supply costs for royal members will not increase, but the people will definitely not be too much. All in all, this is definitely great news.

Gustav said with a smile: "So we have witnessed history. The largest order in the history of furniture was born in the Stockholm Mayor's Hall."

This is true at all. Throughout history, no one has dared to build a city like Bao Zixuan. Moreover, all internal planning is completed by one company. Then he became even more arrogant, daring to plan a small country by himself.

In short, normal people would never dare to even think about such a crazy thing, let alone do it.

Kamprad said with a smile: "I have been in the furniture industry for more than 40 years, and this is my first time meeting a customer like Mr. Bao. Not only is he very refreshing, but most importantly, he also asks the supplier not to save money for him. No wonder Black It seems that it makes sense for Cloud Group to develop so rapidly.”

Being rich and willful is clearly reflected in Bao Zixuan. It can only be said that the brain circuitry of geniuses is different from that of normal people.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "Mr. Kamprad, please don't say that. My money is not that easy to make. If IKEA cannot produce high-quality and low-price products, I can cause trouble for you."

"Heiyun Group is mainly engaged in industrial production. Of course, it knows that if it wants to keep a business going, it must have enough profits to support it. Otherwise, how can it have the funds to invest in product research and development, upgrade machinery and equipment, hire better skilled workers, and upgrade factories? scale."

"Everything needs financial support. Therefore, I will never be jealous of my partners making money, and I even instinctively think it is normal. I am also a businessman, of course I understand; some people may do the business of beheading, but it is a loss-making business. , but no one wants to try!”

"Actually, we have inspected a lot about IKEA, which is also one of the purposes of my trip to Sweden. Now through communicating with Mr. Kamprad, I can feel IKEA's sincerity and business philosophy. Then cooperation will be a matter of course."

"At the same time, my experience is very similar to Mr. Kamprad's. Now many people say that I am a young entrepreneurial leader. But I can tell you that compared to my entrepreneurship, Mr. Kamprad is more legendary. "

"Heiyun Group was founded by me when I was 19 years old, but IKEA was founded when I was 17. You must know that it was because I studied in the UK for two years and knew what the market needed that I decided to create Heiyun Gaming Company."

"But Mr. Kamprad had already founded IKEA when he was in middle school."

Everyone felt incredible when they heard this. Kamprad was able to win the Black Cloud order, and there is absolutely no doubt about his own strength. Don’t underestimate the 2-year difference; you must know that the 2-year difference before the age of 20 is not a slight difference in ability and experience.

There were many Swedish people at the scene. As the country's largest enterprise, of course they knew that IKEA is currently mainly managed by Kamprad's three sons. A man started a business at the age of 17 and achieved great success. Then he announced his retirement at the age of 60 and handed over the main work to his son.

Everyone understands this time that the situation is so special that my son may not be able to handle it; even if he does, it won't achieve this effect.

After Bao Zixuan finished speaking, Kamprad himself was embarrassed. Of course, some people knew that he started his own business at the age of 17, but it was not widely reported. It is estimated that tomorrow the whole world will know that this kid can really bring surprises to people.

At the same time, the other party said that he had inspected IKEA in advance, and now it seems that the credibility is very high. Otherwise, how could it be so clear, even if I started my own business at the age of 17?
