Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

The Chinese Navy is still discussing the issue of installment payments, and the final outcome is not something Bao Zixuan can decide. It is definitely impossible for Heiyun to survive for nothing, and you don't dare to open this hole easily. What will you do if everyone comes to you in the future?

At this time, the biggest thing for Xiangjiang merchants was to negotiate with Huaxia about dock construction, although the leader was Fok Yingdong. However, as the largest investor in the terminal, Bao Zixuan cannot stay out of the matter.

Although Huo Yingdong is the leader, many things still need to be discussed with Bao Zixuan. Investing in a marina requires a lot of capital, and it is impossible for one person to decide everything.

Seeing Huo Yingdong coming over, Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "You can decide whatever happens. I absolutely support Mr. Huo's decisions."

Huo Yingdong was satisfied with Bao Zixuan's statement, but he would never do this. It's one thing for people to respect you, but you can't act recklessly on the basis of other people's trust.

Huo Yingdong: "Now everyone has different opinions, and I just want to hear what you think. Shanghai is very cooperative, but there are also some differences on port management rights."

In fact, it is easy to understand. People in the shipping business certainly want to make the terminal bigger. But getting bigger means big investment, and many people start to worry about costs. Based on whether China's current economy can support such a large port, investment is not just for good looks. Economic benefits must first be considered.

In addition, Shanghai hopes that the port management rights will be in their hands. The port is related to the strategy of a city and a country. It is impossible to let private companies manage it easily, but with such a huge investment and no management rights, everyone is worried about whether future profits can be guaranteed.

Bao Zixuan: "China is developing very fast, and we need to reserve space for port expansion. I still prefer to build on a larger scale, but there is no need to build it all at once, as that will inevitably cause a waste of resources."

"In terms of management rights, we can form a joint venture with Shanghai Municipality, but Shanghai Shanghai only has supervision rights, and management rights must be in our hands. No one in mainland China understands that modern port management is very operational, and if it is not managed well, the port construction will not be able to perform well. Effect."

Huo Yingdong knew that Mr. Bao must have conducted detailed investigations, otherwise it would be impossible to analyze the problem so thoroughly. Although there are only a few simple sentences, they all get to the point.

Huo Yingdong said with a smile: "You have to join me in tomorrow's negotiations. You still have a longer view on many issues. Now you are young and have to share more work; you can't always let us old men charge outside!"

Knowing that he would definitely not be able to escape, Mr. Bao could only agree. Huo Yingdong was already determined to let him participate, and he didn't have anything important to do, so it would not be good to delay it.

In the previous life, Shanghai Port was the largest port in the country, with an annual throughput of more than 700 million tons. It was definitely a giant. It’s just that the current Chinese economy is not allowed to expand the port. Otherwise, how could this port, which has existed for more than 1,000 years, get the turn of Xiangjiang merchants to invest.

When they heard that Bao Zixuan was going to join the negotiation team, Shanghai and the Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong knew that the final decision had to be made. Shanghai still very much recognizes Bao Shoufao's work efficiency, and will never be sloppy as long as the decision is made. They have already experienced this in automobile projects and home appliance projects, but they also have their own concerns and there are still some internal differences. Many people still hope to obtain port management rights, after all, it is related to national strategy.

At this time, several people from the Shanghai Office in Kyoto were discussing tomorrow's negotiations.

Leader Wang said to everyone: "The amount of investment by Chinese merchants in Xiangjiang is huge, and it is understandable that they want to get management rights. But after all, the port is related to the strategic layout of the entire country. Everyone talks about their own ideas, after all, Bao Zixuan will participate tomorrow negotiation."

"Although our richest man, Bao, is young, he is very efficient in his work style. This may be related to his study of science and engineering. Men with science and engineering majors do not like to waste too much time at the negotiation table. Under normal circumstances, they will put more We put our energy and time in the laboratory, and Kyoto City gave us an advantage because the negotiations were too protracted."

"If we cannot unify our opinions on the port issue, it will be difficult to reach a consensus in a short time. If there are no Xiangjiang businessmen to invest, when will we be able to complete the renovation of the terminal alone. Although the financial pressure in the city has improved in recent years, , but there are more places to spend money. In the next three years, we will definitely not be able to spend money to expand the port. Now the opportunity is in front of us. Shanghai must seize this opportunity. After the port reconstruction is completed, maritime transportation can be fully opened. "

At present, there is no modern port in the whole of China, mainly because the economic development in the past few years has been really poor. As the economic center of China, Shanghai must often go to the front.

At this time, a person said: "The issue of port management rights is a troublesome matter. Judging from the attitude of Xiangjiang businessmen, they will definitely not let it go easily. What if they strongly demand management rights for port operations? We must take an attitude today."

Leader Wang: "The top management has made it clear that it is entirely up to us, the Shanghai Stock Exchange, to make our own decisions, which means we have a lot of autonomy. Now we can only see what Bao Zixuan means tomorrow. If we have to give up the management rights, that's not the case." Not negotiable.”

Early the next morning, Xiangjiang businessmen, led by Huo Yingdong, went to the Shanghai Office in Beijing. After the two parties sat down, they quickly got down to business. The Xiangjiang merchants did not have much time in Kyoto. There are many things to do for everyone, and it is impossible to stay on the mainland for too long.

Huo Yingdong: "We have made some new plans regarding port construction. The entire port is planned to be constructed in three phases. The entire port will require a land area of ​​10 square kilometers, and the water area also needs to be expanded outward; we must ensure that giant ships with a weight of less than 300,000 tons can operate in Port call.”

It is said to be a third-phase project, and subsequent construction will depend on the situation. However, hearing this data still makes Shanghai very excited. After all, such ports are among the best in the world.

Leader Wang: "We have no objection to anything else. We can form a joint venture to jointly operate the port. At present, our biggest disagreement is over management rights, so I hope you can make concessions. The port is related to the strategic layout of a country, so Shanghai still hopes to own it. Stewardship.”

Bao Zixuan knew what Huo Yingdong's look meant; it seemed that Mr. Huo didn't want him to have too much leisure time.

Bao Zixuan: "Dear leaders, Shanghai and even the whole of China have no experience in operating a modern port. Managing a port requires a very capable operation team, at least currently there is no such team in Shanghai."

"We can form a joint venture, and Shanghai will take the land as a stake. Xiangjiang will invest funds and hold the shares in proportion to the investment. The management rights will be on our side, and Shanghai will have supervisory rights. In this way, Shanghai will be able to monitor the latest developments in the port. We got the news as soon as possible, but Shanghai cannot interfere in port management until the management team makes no major mistakes."

After hearing that it has the right to supervise, Shanghai feels that this is okay. Indeed, as Bao Zixuan said, there is no management team to operate a modern port in the entire Chinese mainland. At present, many fields in China are not yet in line with international standards, and we do need to study hard for a period of time.

Leader Wang: "Mr. Bao has considered it very carefully. This condition is still acceptable to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Next, we can talk about the specific details and see the final shareholding ratio."

Huo Yingdong didn't expect that Bao Zixuan could solve the problem so easily. Was it because he was incompetent or because Bao Zixuan was too strong? Could he be really old?

In fact, the main reason is that Shanghai and even China as a whole need a modern port, but there is not so much capital investment in the country. It is not appropriate to introduce foreign investment in port construction. Now that Xiangjiang businessmen are interested in the port, they certainly want to implement the investment.

After all, the Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong are their own people. The Chinese side has never hesitated about the return of Hong Kong. There is no room for negotiation.

The general direction has been determined, and the next step is to communicate the specific details. This does not require the participation of Bao Zixuan, Huo Yingdong and others. Xiangjiang will have a professional team to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, then evaluate the existing assets and finally determine the investment ratio of both parties.

Back home, Bao Zixuan felt that he should not be too impulsive in doing things. This time he came to China and only invested in one home appliance project; he did not expect that it would now involve a port and an electronics wholesale base.

Although there is no shortage of funds now, once the Heiyun Town plan is launched, things will not be easy to handle. It seems that we still need to be cautious in the next few years, otherwise the financial pressure will be great.
