Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

After having lunch at the Governor's Palace, and now asking for Yoder, this is a good opportunity to get closer. After all, Bao Zixuan is the richest man in Hong Kong, and he is also a top engineer with a high reputation in the world. Youde also wants to get closer to him. This time the son-in-law can make a profit, which is a good start. The continuation of the family needs to make friends with this kind of person.

The Tai Mo Shan matter will be left to Youde. As for how he convinces other officials and the people of Hong Kong, it has nothing to do with Mr. Bao. As long as the goal is achieved, he doesn't want to worry about anything else.

After leaving Bao Zixuan, the Governor's Mansion, he arrived at the Peninsula Hotel, where Guo Desheng was already waiting for him. The honest businessman Guo Desheng did not expect that Bao Zixuan would take the initiative to ask him out. The two of them had no friendship and no business dealings. At this time, Guo Desheng suddenly came to him, which was a bit confusing, but he still had to give it to Bao Bao, the richest man, for the sake of meeting him.

Everyone is working on the ground in Xiangjiang to earn a living, although Guo Desheng knows that he has an advantage due to his age and time in business. However, he is far inferior to Bao Zixuan in terms of wealth and influence. If he takes the initiative to ask you out, he is giving you face. Moreover, everyone who cooperates with Bao Zixuan basically makes a lot of money, and Guo Desheng is very excited.

Although it was Bao Zixuan who took the initiative to ask him out, Guo Desheng still arrived a little early. When Bao Zixuan rushed over, he was already waiting for him in the private room, which showed that he was not too big.

After a brief greeting, Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "I'm very sorry for being so presumptuous in asking Guo Sheng out. Mainly because I have something I want to ask you for help with."

Guo Desheng replied: "Don't be polite, Mr. Bao. There are not many opportunities to receive Mr. Bao's invitation in Xiangjiang. We are all acquaintances. If there is anything that I, Guo Desheng, can do, I will never postpone it."

Guo Desheng knew that Bao Zixuan would not ask him to do anything he couldn't do, and that would not be his turn. It must be something related to your own business. If you can help the other party, you will owe yourself a favor. This is more important than making money.

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you Guo Sheng in advance. I invite you here this time because I want to buy a piece of land. Heiyun wants to build a global headquarters, so it needs a large area, and Guo Sheng's land happens to be stuck in the middle, so I hope Guo Sheng can make it happen."

Guo Desheng suddenly became interested when he heard that Bao Zixuan wanted to buy land from him. If what is expected is true, the other party definitely wants to buy land in the New Territories. The only way to do this is to have any connection with the Heiyun Group.

Bao Zixuan is not engaged in real estate development, and the land purchased by Heiyun Group is relatively remote industrial land. If you want to sell the land on Xiangjiang Island, you will really feel a little distressed. It doesn't matter that it's just a piece of land in the New Territories that Sun Hung Kai doesn't plan to develop in the short term.

Moreover, this is an opportunity to build a good relationship with Bao Zixuan. If Bao Zixuan encounters difficulties in the future, the other party will probably help him.

Although business is all about business in the mall, you still need friends, and you will never succeed alone. Suddenly I thought of the rumors about Bao Huodong Mining Company, why not take advantage of this opportunity to get some shares. In the past, even if you went to Baozifu to buy it, they would not necessarily give you face. Now this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You can say that this store will no longer exist in this village.

Guo Desheng: "Since Mr. Bao has asked for it, I will definitely not refuse it, but Mr. Bao also knows that none of us are particularly short of money; so I hope Mr. Bao can exchange it for equity."

"Although Mr. Bao has strong assets, building a global headquarters will definitely require a lot of funds. If we can exchange shares, we can save funds and use them for other purposes, which is beneficial to everyone."

Of course Bao Zixuan knew the other party's purpose, it must be Bao Huodong Mining Company. Guo Desheng wanted to get shares in the mining company for more than a day or two. This time he definitely wanted to exchange land for himself.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "I understand what Guo Sheng means. There is no problem with the shares of Bao Huodong Mining Company. But I'm worried that I won't be able to get much in exchange for the land in the New Territories."

Guo Desheng: "I have some understanding of the situation, and I can exchange it based on a valuation of HK$500 billion."

After hearing the other party's quotation, Bao Zixuan felt that honest businessmen were not as honest as the legend said. Otherwise, the other party would not give such a low quotation if they did not know the specific situation.

According to Baohuodong Mining Company's annual profits of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, it is not impossible to position the market value at 500 billion U.S. dollars. But I dare not announce it now, otherwise it would be too shocking and it would be easy for people to miss.

It is because the market value and revenue are so high that Bao Zixuan continues to dilute its shares. Heiyun Group only belongs to himself, and there is no need to disclose the financial affairs. However, there are so many shareholders of Baohuodong Mining Company, and it is inevitable that some people will leak out. Only by attracting more partners will it be safer, and allowing more tycoons to bear risks and pressure together is a long-term solution.

Guo Desheng is the only one among the five real estate tigers in Xiangjiang who does not hold shares in Huodong Mining Company. This made him very unconvinced. The scale of the company was not smaller than that of other companies. How could he be willing to accept the shares of Baohuodong Company if he did not get them now?

Bao Zixuan: "Guo Sheng may not be aware of the situation. This is originally a secret of Baohuodong Mining Company. But Guo Sheng is not an outsider, so there is no need to hide it."

After Bao Zixuan finished speaking, he took out his laptop and asked Guo Desheng to take a look at the revenue and dividends of Baohuodong Mining Company. When you see that last year’s profits exceeded US$10 billion, and shareholder dividends alone exceeded US$5 billion. He was very excited but also a little worried at the same time; even if he sold the entire New Territories, he wouldn't be able to get back many shares.

Kwok Desheng: "It's my presumption, but I still want to get some shares. Sun Hung Kai has more than 6 million square meters of land in the New Territories, which should not be excessive if converted into HK$600 million. Then I will take out HK$400 million and see if Mr. Bao How many shares can you give me?"

Bao Zixuan knew that Guo Desheng had really worked hard, and it could be said that he was still very courageous. But the reality is very cruel. Bao Zixuan said: "I can give you 10% of the shares, which is a lot. After the financial report is released, the company's valuation of 2 trillion Hong Kong dollars is not an exaggeration."

Bao Zixuan did not expect to cultivate a company with a market value of over one trillion in the 1980s. It can be said that no company in the world currently has such a high valuation. The main reason is that the development of rare earth minerals is simple, the unit price is very high, and no company or country in the market can compete with it. This has created the high valuation and high profits of Baohuodong Mining Company. After all, the future is promising. Even investors in Heiyun Group are a little worried. Monopoly mining companies do not have these problems.

At present, most of the world's proven rare earth minerals are in China. It can be said that Baohuodong Mining Company has absolute pricing power for rare earth minerals.

Under normal circumstances, it would cost at least HK$1.5 billion to purchase these shares. Bao Zixuan has already made great concessions in order to obtain land in the New Territories. If the Japanese knew that Bao Huodong Mining Company wanted to sell its shares, they would do it if they had to pay HK$3 billion.

Although Guo Desheng feels it is worth it, it still needs to be investigated in detail. The most important thing is to ask Lee Shau Kee about the specific situation. After all, it involves a transaction of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, so we have to be cautious.

Guo Desheng: "I still need to think about it, but it's not a big problem. In fact, to put it bluntly, I want to know the specific situation of the company. After all, the money is nothing to Bao Sheng, but Sun Hung Kai does not dare to take this risk easily."

Bao Zixuan also knew that a deal of this level could not be concluded at once, but he did not want to waste time. So he said directly: "Guo Sheng, let's see if this is okay. I will pay 700 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the land that Guo Sheng holds in the New Territories. I can write a check to you. If Guo Sheng wants to cover the shares of Huodong Mining Company, I can make a check." If you don’t want to exchange it, just make up the amount of HKD 400 million.”

It can be said that the price quoted by Bao Zixuan has a premium, which is already rare. However, Guo Desheng wanted Bao Zixuan to owe him a favor, and 100 million would not be taken lightly.

Guo Desheng: "What did Mr. Bao say? I have just quoted HKD 600 million. Calculated based on HKD 600 million, no matter what the result is, it will be HKD 600 million."

"That is to say, if the exchange is not successful, I will sell you the land for HK$600 million. You can rest assured on this."

Bao Zixuan didn't expect Guo Desheng to be so generous. It seemed that he wanted to owe him a favor. My favors are more valuable than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, but I can’t care about that much now. Honest businessmen are definitely not as honest as people say. How many honest people can become super tycoons?

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you very much Guo Sheng. I will keep this feeling in my heart."

Guo Desheng has already taken care of this, now it depends on the attitude of the Zhang family. I hope they won't let the lion speak loudly, and it's best not to involve Zhang Yuliang, otherwise I really don't know what to do.

In the end, Guo Desheng felt that the shares were too small, which was far from what he expected. After collecting 600 million Hong Kong dollars to sell the land to Bao Zixuan, he has already made a lot of money. After all, the land price was only HK$150 million when I purchased it, and it has doubled several times in just 4 years.

However, as Baohuodong Mining Company became popular all over the world, many countries and regions in the world have mines and oil fields of Baohuodong Mining Company. The market value once exceeded 2 trillion US dollars, which made Guo Desheng regretful and at the same time hated Lee Shau Kee to death.
