Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Everyone felt that Bao Shoufang was more mature than before, but no one would naively think that the other party was giving in to Shen Bi and others, which was not necessary at all. Regardless of whether he admits it or not, the combined wealth of the five families is far behind that of Bao Zixuan. This is the gap in strength. The two sides are not even heavyweight players at all.

Come and watch the jokes, Bao Shaofu should not be so boring; at this time, everyone can't wait to move a small bench over, thinking that it will be more exciting than the movie.

When Shen Bi said that he was old, it was not that simple; old cannot simply be understood as a derogatory term, but it also represents experience and experience. The meaning is very obvious, the purpose of your coming here; you basically know it, don't pretend to be mysterious, otherwise everyone will look bad.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "What did Mr. Shen say? This is the age for retirement; but the HSBC board of directors still chooses to let you stay in office. This is enough to prove that there is still gas in the tank; but we dare not belittle ourselves."

"It's better that Senior has a long life and can retire at any time; and then enjoy family happiness. Unlike a few of us, even if we want to retire, we can never let go of the business. The Charter King is older than Senior Shen and is still worrying about the company; after all, it's good Tens of thousands of people are eating with us, so we have to think about them."

Bao Yugang is nine years older than Shen Bi, but he is the boss; there is no such thing as retirement. Even if all the shares are distributed to future generations, as long as he wants, he still has the final say in the company.

Shen Bi is now the chairman of HSBC, but he is just a professional manager; a senior wage earner. As long as the performance does not satisfy the board of directors, he may be fired at any time.

On the other hand, except for Simon Keswick of Jardine Matheson who is younger than him, the others are slightly older, but there is no talk of retirement. Don't expose someone's shortcomings, don't slap someone in the face. Bao Zixuan was so disrespectful when he came up. Shen Bi was not a good-tempered person to begin with, so it would be strange not to be angry.

In recent years, the relationship between Bao Yugang and Shen Bi has become much estranged, but their interests are consistent when it comes to confronting Bao Zixuan. It doesn't matter if you don't mention him; but since you bring him with you, you can't stay out of it.

The boat charter king said with a smile: "Little Baosheng is joking, Bao is already an idle cloud and he is basically in a state of retirement. He only comes out occasionally to meet old friends and catch up on old times!"

"On the contrary, Xiao Baosheng, although I am not in Xiangjiang, I can often see news about you in the world's well-known media. It has greatly increased the prestige of Xiangjiang businessmen, and we have also benefited a lot from it."

As a man who conquers the world, it is basically impossible to easily delegate power, especially for Chinese tycoons! It is difficult to change traditional concepts, and of course, we are worried about future generations. No matter how capable their children are, in the eyes of their parents, they are still children and will always be considered inexperienced.

However, the Ship King family has done a good job in this area. In terms of the distribution of family assets, plans have been made for a long time. Several sons-in-law perform their own duties. In addition, their abilities are not bad. Relatively speaking, Bao Yugang can take it easy. few.

Speaking of retirement, it's more of an excuse; the boss still insists on going to get off work normally every day. No one would believe it when he said he was retiring, it was more of a polite statement.

But sometimes I have to admit that compared to Bao Zixuan in age, they really don't have any advantage.

The abilities of future generations will definitely not be stronger than mine, and they are still at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Black Cloud Group. If Bao Zixuan, who is younger than his own children, really gets violent, it will probably be difficult for him to withstand it. Heroes also have their twilight years, otherwise they wouldn't think of hugging each other for warmth.

As for saying that Bao Zixuan has increased the prestige of Xiangjiang merchants, it is really not a compliment; it is indeed the case.

Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan have become a business card of Xiangjiang; coupled with their good reputation, Xiangjiang businessmen have even become synonymous with strength and credibility.

No matter where it goes, Heiyun Group pursues fairness and justice in doing business; it will never take the initiative to take advantage of its partners. Even if we cooperate with some African countries, we will still purchase raw materials according to market prices; we will not deliberately lower prices for some reasons.

Because in Bao's view, the company has been established for too short a time; if you want to be recognized quickly, you must make your partners instinctively believe that they will not suffer any losses when doing business with you. Moreover, as a reborn person, he has already achieved such a scale; relying on small tricks to make money is not necessary at all; it will not last long.

When people mention Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan, they will naturally think of Xiangjiang, which has greatly benefited the reputation of Xiangjiang enterprises and businessmen. Not long ago, Global Shipping discussed cooperation with the Brazilians, mainly regarding iron ore transportation contracts.

Unexpectedly, when the other party learned that they were from Xiangjiang, they immediately took a good look at them. After comparing them, they signed a long-term contract with them.

You must know that there are Portuguese and Japanese companies among the competitors. I didn’t have any hope before; it was more about not wanting to give up the opportunity and training the employees; it was just about gaining some experience in international bidding.

Brazil was once an overseas colony of Portugal, which gained substantial economic benefits from its plantations and gold mines in Brazil. During the Napoleonic Wars, the Portuguese royal family fled to Brazil, which had a profound impact on Brazilian history.

And the current Brazil was also founded by a Portuguese prince; his mother tongue is Portuguese. Xiangjiang Company has a natural disadvantage in competing with it on Brazilian soil.

As for the relationship between Japan and Brazil, although it is not as close as Portugal, it is far from comparable to other countries.

The relationship between Japan and Brazil can be traced back to a hundred years ago, when the global movement to liberate black people began. As a result, Brazilian farmers could no longer buy black slaves to work for themselves.

Under such circumstances, all walks of life in Brazil are facing a problem: a serious shortage of labor force population. At that time, the Brazilian government was thinking about finding more immigrants from other countries, which would naturally provide a better impetus for the development of all walks of life.

However, some European countries very close to Brazil are unwilling to go there. European countries are developing relatively better, and people naturally do not want to go to Brazil to live a hard life.

In desperation, the Brazilians set their sights further afield in Asia; Japan was in the stage of development at the time and had an overpopulation of domestic labor force. As a result, the two countries hit it off and successfully reached cooperation; Japan has since then begun to transport a large number of people to Brazil.

In history, Japan has sent large-scale immigrants to Brazil three times; from ordinary laborers at the beginning to high-tech talents later, it directly led to a large number of Japanese descendants in Brazil. There are a large number of Japanese-owned businesses in Brazil, and Japanese culture is even widespread, and Japanese shops can be seen everywhere. It can be seen that the cultures of the two countries have been well integrated due to historical reasons.

In other words, it can be said that Brazil cannot be in today's situation without the help of the Japanese. This makes Brazil still have a good impression of the Japanese. Even if Japan sinks and Japanese families move to Brazil, it will probably be accepted.

Both sides already know each other's culture very well, and it is not difficult for Japanese people to integrate into Brazilian society. It is not difficult to see from here that Japanese companies have natural advantages in Brazil.

But when his subordinates came back to report that Global Shipping had won the bid, everyone in the Bao family couldn't believe it.

The business will not affect the overall situation to some extent, but no one will dislike having many customers; but it is really unimaginable to PK Portuguese and Japanese companies on Brazilian soil.

After hearing the report from the staff of Global Shipping, the charter king could not calm down for a long time.

The Brazilians learned that Global Shipping was a Hong Kong company and that the boss’s surname was Bao. In addition, the overall quotation was very reasonable, so they signed the contract directly without any hesitation.

Because in their opinion, Global Shipping must be related to Heiyun Group; they should come from the same family.

The business reputation of Bao Zixuan and the entire Heiyun Group can definitely be trusted. As a global shipping company that belongs to the same family, it is naturally not far behind.

Listening to the explanation makes people dumbfounded, but it also reflects from the side that Bao Zixuan is indeed an outstanding entrepreneur.

Being able to bring business reputation abroad and gain universal recognition; not everyone can do it.

This requires continuous accumulation, and it must always maintain a good reputation; it has become the business card of Hong Kong businessmen, and is even worth guarding for generations.

It is not a wise move to be an enemy of such a businessman; but once you are on the pirate ship, it is difficult to turn back easily. There is only one way to get to the dark side, otherwise sooner or later someone will take care of you.

Others didn't know the whole story and just thought it was a common compliment; they didn't think much about it.

Bao Zixuan can't control that much. He came here to discuss things with John Shihuaiya; it would be best if he could cooperate. Even if he couldn't cooperate, there would be no loss to himself.

The fortress is easiest to break from the inside. We have already said hello; naturally we have to get to the point.

The richest man Bao smiled and said: "Mr. Shi Huaiya, I have business to discuss with you; I don't know if it's convenient."

As soon as Bao Zixuan finished speaking, everyone at the scene felt incredible. After all, the two parties have not cooperated too deeply before. What does the richest man want? Could it be that he is deliberately disgusting other people, but it doesn't look like it; being the richest man should not be that boring.

At this time, the problem was directly thrown to John Shuaiya, rejecting Bao Zixuan's invitation; it is estimated that everyone in Hong Kong will think that he is a fool and does not know how to seize the opportunity.

Not everyone can get under Bao Zixuan's eye and cooperate with Heiyun Group; they will definitely not suffer a loss. Once the two parties reach a cooperation, the stock price will rise accordingly.

But it's hard to explain after just leaving a few other people behind. Just now you were discussing causing trouble for Bao Zixuan, but now that you are being offered some sweet treats, you will immediately turn your back on him. Who will dare to cooperate with you in the future?

When John Schweizer was in trouble, Shen Bi said with a smile: "Since you two have business to discuss, we don't want to disturb him." After that, he left directly and walked to other places.

Shen Daban had already expressed his position, and the others would not say anything more; they also left together.

The lobby of the Governor's Mansion was not small, leaving a relatively private space for the two of them; there was still no problem.

John Schweizer said with a smile: "I wonder what Mr. Bao cares about!"

Although they are British, the Swire family has been doing business in Asia for more than a hundred years and has fully integrated into Hong Kong society. He speaks the vernacular very fluently, and if you don't look at his face, you wouldn't feel that the other person is European at all.

Bao Zixuan: "I know that Mr. Shi Huaiya is a busy man, but I don't dare to waste your time. I am a more direct person. If I have any questions, I will just talk."

Seeing that the other party did not refuse, Mr. Bao continued: "Currently, the number of direct flights from Xiangjiang to Fucaira is really small. There will be more exchanges between the two places in the future. I think you should understand what it means."

Since Bao Zixuan decided to vigorously develop Fucaira, the relationship between this Middle Eastern emirate and Hong Kong has grown exponentially. People travel between the two places almost every day.

Although Emirates Airlines has opened some flights, it is not enough; Cathay Pacific, which uses Xiangjiang International Airport as its home port, cannot do many things without its efforts.

After the last time, Bao Zixuan saw clearly; even if the strength is strong, it is impossible to cover the sky with one hand.

Although it has not started yet, the intelligence agencies have long been aware that some countries are going to launch antitrust investigations against Heiyun Group. If you can produce aircraft yourself, if you control an airline company, you will be causing trouble for yourself.

It is better to actively cooperate with major airlines and build good relationships; not only can they sell aircraft, but they can also play an unexpected role at critical moments.

Among the many companies in Hong Kong, Swire is a special entity; its main business is far different from that of Heiyun companies, and the competition between the two parties is not fierce. It will be difficult to eat up Taikoo in a short period of time. After all, Mr. Bao has no intention of entering the sugar field.

If Fucairah wants to develop rapidly, it cannot rely solely on Bao Zixuan and Heiyun Group; it must absorb funds and talents from all over the world. In line with the idea of ​​​​first come first served near the water, Xiangjiang naturally has to be the first choice.

Even if Mr. Bao is strong and capable, the industrial foundation in the Middle East is really poor, and the traditional concepts are very strong. Without external intervention, it is difficult to achieve much. It is indeed no problem to live a prosperous life relying on the Persian Gulf and its abundant oil and gas resources.

But it is not that easy to develop into an industrial and technological city.

Heiyun employees can choose to charter flights, but ordinary people do not have that convenience; the best means of transportation is international flights.

There is really no way around Cathay Pacific in Xiangjiang, otherwise there would be no need to discuss it with John Schweizer.

When it comes to transportation between Fucairah and Xiangjiang, is it still for the purpose of acquiring Cathay Pacific Airways? It is not unreasonable for John Schweizer to think so. After all, the richest man Bao has been pursuing Cathay Pacific Airways for more than a day or two.

John Swire thought for a moment and said: "I understand what Mr. Bao means, but Cathay Pacific is the core business of the family; it will never be sold." I know that you are not short of money, but I also hope to leave a way for the Swire family. "

"If a family wants to continue, it naturally needs to own an industry; otherwise, it will all be in vain."

"So no matter what, the core assets will not be sold; otherwise I will be the sinner of the family. I hope Bao Sheng can understand!"
