The Industrial Giant Reborn

"IPO? I think you like privatization from the capital market? Why do you want my company to go IPO?" Chen Tianfu asked with a smile.

"I privatized some companies because I knew that some of the company's projects or investments would have huge profits in the future, so I privatized. After the acquisition of Hutchison, I knew that the land price might rise several times in the future. After privatization, I The profit is the highest, so I spent hundreds of millions to privatize. Now if Hutchison goes public again, these hundreds of millions can become billions. This is the purpose. Wharf’s privatization is because I am very optimistic about Harbor City. The future income will also be very high." Chen Zhiwen explained with a smile: "But if it is an ordinary company and ordinary business, then you can consider going public for financing, especially the stock market has reached its peak in the past year, and many people are still optimistic about it. In the real estate market, if Hengyi goes public, it will definitely make a lot of money."

"Hengyi has become an ordinary company in your eyes, and you are the only one in Hong Kong who dares to say this." Chen Tianfu said with a smile. Today's Hengyi can be said to be a leader in the real estate market. The company has cooperated many times. On the other hand, it has developed several projects together with Hutchison and Wharf. It also participated in the Hong Kong government's bidding or acquisition of land for real estate restructuring. The combination of many aspects has a comprehensive influence no less than that of Cheung Kong and Wharf. The Hehe Real Estate companies are indeed far behind Chen Zhiwen's achievements.

"This is generally not the scale, but the business potential. Real estate will definitely fail in the next few years. It is better to take this opportunity to raise large-scale financing and obtain funds. When the real estate fails in the future, you can either buy the real estate at the bottom or buy it back. Part, this operation, you people know better than me." Chen Zhiwen said.

Most of the companies in the world are listed companies, and there are only a handful of large-scale companies that insist on not being listed. In addition to the cash-out requirements of shareholders and investors, the stock market itself is also a means of financing. There is also money to be made. Although it is a bit unscrupulous, many companies like to play this way.

As the Chen family, there is no need to go public to exploit minority shareholders, but knowing that the stock market will reach its peak in the next year, and then it will fall sharply in the future, it is natural to go public while the peak period is at hand.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you. Tomorrow I will arrange for someone to prepare and submit the listing materials. According to the normal procedures of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, it will take a while, about three to six months." Chen Tianfu nodded and said.

"That's just right, I will go public at the end of this year." Chen Zhiwen also felt that the time was right, he went public first to raise a sum of money, and then waited half a year later, the stock market had reached its peak, so he could continue to cash out part of it, and with the return of funds from the real estate market, before the stock market disaster The cash in Hengyi's hands is estimated to be three to four billion Hong Kong dollars. The bottom-hunting after the stock market crash is probably enough for Hengyi to lock in tens of billions or even more wealth in the future.

"However, there is one more thing. Part of the shares need to be divided before going public. Who do you think is better to sell to?" Chen Tianfu asked again.

"I will find a way to bypass the Hong Kong government's regulations and take over some of them. For the rest, you can find some of your friends. It doesn't matter who you have a good relationship with. It doesn't matter who you are or not. Or notify some people who have cooperated before. Who to sell to." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said, generally a company needs to consider bringing in some resources and connections when it goes public, but in Hong Kong, the Chen family does not lack these, so naturally there is no need to give this benefit to anyone at a low price, as long as the relationship is good or the price is high. up.

The Hong Kong government also has requirements for the shareholders of listed companies. A family is considered as one. It is not difficult to get around, but it is not feasible to hold too many. Listed companies still need many other shareholders. Governments are not dumb, and regulators are not idiots.

"Okay, then when the financial aspects are settled, I'll set a price and discuss it later." Chen Tianfu nodded and said.

"In fact, there is another advantage, that is, after the listing, the value of Hengyi will be placed in the clear. Whether it is going to China or Southeast Asia in the future, this is a very concise and clear figure. People may think that we are liars. Hong Kong This market is still too small, we will have to go out sooner or later." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

In the era without the Internet, information occlusion is very serious. The only way for people to grasp the information of the outside world is TV and newspapers, and the information carried by these two is also limited. Many people have zero awareness of the outside world.

For example, the deep sea side, as the first reform front in China, coupled with the relatively close distance from Hong Kong, should be considered to have a little understanding of the outside world in theory, but except for a very small number, the others basically don’t know the inside of Hong Kong. For businessmen who have invested in the past, the easiest way for them is to look at the market value of your company. If the market value is high, it will be awesome, and vice versa.

"That's right. Huo Yingdong recommended me to build a hotel in Shenhai City, otherwise the speed would not be so fast." Chen Tianfu nodded and said.

"So we still need to go public." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile. Going public is the ultimate ownership of all companies. Unless it is a small workshop, otherwise, large companies need to find allies, including their own Midea, Red Bull, etc., but time is still not yet.

"The richest man Chen appeared at Cathay Pacific Airport, and the luxurious private jet Boeing 747 made his debut!"

"The return on investment in 5 years is 600 times, and the investment return of the richest man Chen is 300 million US dollars for 500,000 US dollars."

"The largest farm in the United States changed hands, and Chen Zhiwen got the land twice the size of Hong Kong."

"The little game boy has triggered panic buying by European and American consumers, and many people have tripled their purchases, and the supply is still in short supply."

"The mysterious red and white game console is on sale in Hong Kong, and the price of thousands of Hong Kong dollars is still queuing up to buy. Another blockbuster model of Midea Group is coming soon?"

In the newspaper on May 17th, various homepage headlines are full of explosive headlines, each of which can attract attention, but each one focuses on the number one person in the business world in Hong Kong today——Asian Chinese The richest man, Chen Zhiwen.

On this day, the business of all newspaper offices was very good.

After the plane landed, the Hong Kong media was once again in an uproar, and all their eyes were fixed on the richest man Chen. It was not a hot news before, but as long as he could get a little relationship with Chen Zhiwen, he would put it on the news. In fact, such an expensive plane has become a People's personal belongings, this is something that countless people dare not even dream about.

On this day, countless reporters went to Chen Zhiwen's villa and company to block people for interviews, but now, the Chen family's private bodyguard team has more than a hundred people, and they easily blocked all the reporters from the door.

After arriving at Xinghe Tower, the leaders of several companies came to report the recent performance.

However, because the time is short, there has not been much change. Midea’s handhelds have become popular in the United States, and the production capacity in Hong Kong is running out, so they urgently launched a backup plan that had been prepared before, so that several companies in Wanwan The foundry started to manufacture.

These foundries have already passed the previous audit of Midea Group, and have already prepared production lines, skilled workers, and can produce immediately with quality and quantity after starting.

In Hong Kong, red and white machines are also officially on sale. Although the price is equivalent to the income of ordinary people for two to three months, in Hong Kong today, with the skyrocketing real estate market and stock market, how many people have become millionaires, Tsim Sha Tsui, Harbor City , Central and other places are full of "successful people" who have lived a life of luxury and money. How much is a mere two or three thousand Hong Kong dollars? Even with the addition of a few hundred Hong Kong dollars a game cassette, it is nothing more than a few days of appreciation in the value of real estate in the hands of many people. The sales of the Famicom are very good. In the first week, sales exceeded 3,000 units, and the number is still rising. Next is the Gulf market, and the larger European, American and Japanese markets, just like handhelds.

Red Bull hasn't changed much. The main reason is that it has started large-scale investment in food factories in the Shekou Industrial Zone in the Mainland to use domestic potatoes to produce potato chips for export. When I arrived in Hong Kong, I found the department in charge of the food business of Red Bull, intending to let Red Bull go to Shanghai to open a large joint venture food factory.

Qin Zhihao has always been aware of his boss's investment intentions in the mainland. After communicating with the deputy director many times, he informed Chen Zhiwen of this matter when he returned from the United States.

"Have you ever been to Shanghai?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"Not yet. If there are no major problems in the future, I plan to go to Shanghai next week." Qin Zhihao said.

"Then can our food be sold in the mainland in reverse? Can listing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange handle this matter?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"As long as it can meet the requirements of foreign exchange balance, that's fine, so I feel very excited. Anyway, we want to export, and there is no other benefit in putting it in Shekou, but if it is in Shanghai, it can also be sold domestically." Qin Zhihao said : "The only downside is the need for a joint venture, and we may not be able to control too much domestic sales, but on the export side, we can set up a trading company in Hong Kong to transfer."

"Joint ventures don't matter. Even if we only have 49% of the shares, we still make the most of the profits. The domestic market is actually not small, and the most important thing is that we need to cultivate brand awareness early, and it doesn't matter if the profit is given to the domestic joint venture." Chen Zhiwen said He said with concern, anyway, in 1986, it could be wholly foreign-owned. Now whether it is a joint venture or not, it can be resolved at that time. As long as it is not a sensitive enterprise such as automobiles and heavy industries, it will be fine.

"Okay then, I'll reply to this Director Zhao." Qin Zhihao nodded and said, he only needs to get the intention of investing or not from the boss, and they will naturally control the rest of the details.

"Shanghai's economic status is very high in China. This can be regarded as our first investment in Shanghai, and we will try our best to cooperate successfully." Chen Zhiwen said.

"Okay, no problem." Qin Zhihao agreed.
