Chapter 1198 Seeking Diversified Development 2
Being able to chat and laugh with Bao Zixuan shows that the other person's identity is not simple, at least he can be regarded as a tycoon-level figure in Xiangjiang. And as the chairman of the Far East Stock Exchange, the other party must be an authoritative figure in the financial field. If you want to build Saudi Arabia into the financial center of the Middle East, you will definitely need more professional talents.
Although the fund managers on Wall Street in the United States are very capable, they will never be soft on deceiving people. They will not sincerely help Saudi Arabia establish a stock exchange. As Asia's financial center, Xiangjiang has unique conditions, so cooperation between the two parties is really possible.
Prince Sultan said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you're welcome. I'm not from the financial field, so I don't dare to give advice. I just came here to feel the atmosphere of the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange. I came mainly to learn."
"Saudi Arabia is not very complete in terms of securities trading, so I hope we can refer to relevant experience in Hong Kong. Mr. Li is an expert in the financial field, but he cannot hide anything."
Li Fuzhao also didn't expect Prince Saudi Arabia to be so low-key. It seemed that he had had too few contacts before and didn't know him well enough. You can’t just read all the reports in the news media. You have to experience many things first-hand to know what’s going on.
In the past, the media's reports on the wealthy people in the Middle East were not so friendly. Now that I see a person like the Prince of Saudi Arabia speaking so politely, it seems that he has a deep misunderstanding.
You can make a lot of money by working with the Saudis. If the other party digs out some oil, it may be enough for him to work for several years. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to make friends with such a big business owner. In addition, the richest man Bao was so polite to him, which shows that the identity of the other party is definitely not simple.
Li Zhaofu still doesn't know much about the Middle East, which of course has something to do with Prince Sultan's usually relatively low profile. In fact, the situation of the Saudi royal family is very complicated, and being too high-profile can easily become the target of public criticism. As the person in charge of the royal family and the military, there is also the king and the crown prince above; doing your job well is better than anything else.
Li Zhaofu said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is too polite. The Xiangjiang Exchange is still relatively primitive. It has just started. Although I don't understand the extent of Saudi stock trading. But if there is any need, His Highness can give direct orders."
"Bao Sheng and I are good friends, and you also have a good relationship with Bao Sheng. A friend of a friend is your friend, so don't be polite to me."
Li Zhaofu said this to give Bao Zixuan face. Moreover, the distance between him and Prince Sultan has also been shortened. It can be said that the old man's attainments in language arts are very impressive.
Prince Sultan smiled and said: "That puts me at ease. I hope you can go to Saudi Arabia for inspection when you have time. Maybe we still have room for cooperation in securities trading; Saudi Arabia wants to build its own stock exchange; Mr. Li, as Experts in the financial field can definitely help!”
"If you are interested, the Saudi Stock Exchange can cooperate with the Far East Stock Exchange; as for the specific details, it will not be too late to make a decision after you have inspected the Saudi market."
Hearing this, Bao Zixuan felt like it was really an opportunity. In the previous life, the Saudi Stock Exchange was established this year. Heiyun Group has several companies in Saudi Arabia, which may be able to be listed first. There are many wealthy people in Saudi Arabia, and going public can also share the benefits, laying a good foundation for the birth of children in the future.
Li Fuzhao was a little confused at this time, and the other party directly invited him to go to Saudi Arabia for inspection, and he could cooperate. Being able to make a decision directly proves that the other party is definitely a powerful person.
Saudi Arabia adopts the system of brotherhood and brotherhood. Maybe this person may become the king of Saudi Arabia in the future, otherwise I would never dare to say so. Most importantly, Bao Zixuan's attitude made him even more sure.
The richest man, Bao, is a guy who can't afford to get up early without any profit; he is basically not seen attending the recent gatherings of tycoons; he always uses busy work as an excuse.
But now he actually has time to accompany an old man to visit the stock exchange market, which shows that it's not that he doesn't have time; it's just that some people are not worth his time.
Li Fuzhao: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the invitation. This is your honor."
"Arrange the work at hand and make sure to go to Saudi Arabia for inspection as soon as possible. The Far East Stock Exchange and the Li family are very interested in cooperating with Saudi Arabia."
The Li family is mentioned specifically to show that they are a family; their strength is no longer limited to the Far East Stock Exchange.
Prince Sultan said with a smile: "I like to cooperate with a courageous entrepreneur like Mr. Li;"
With one look, Help immediately handed over his contact information to Li Fuzhao.
Prince Sultan continued: "This is my contact information. When will you come over? Let me know in advance and I will take you to know the scenery of Saudi Arabia."
After that, the two chatted for a while, and Li Fuzhao wanted to treat him to dinner no matter what; he couldn't refuse. And neither party was in need of a meal, so they simply took a bite. There were Arabs present and I had to work in the afternoon, so I didn’t drink.
When Li Fuzhao returned to the office, he felt something was wrong. He quickly consulted a friend to find out who Prince Sultan was.
I could have asked Bao Zixuan directly, but I was a little embarrassed. If we want to say who among the wealthy people in Hong Kong is most familiar with the Middle East, it must be Michael Kadoorie. He himself is from the Middle East.
Although the Kadoorie family's companies are not listed on the Far East Exchange. But the relationship between the two parties is not bad, and the four major exchanges in Hong Kong are currently seeking to merge; therefore, everyone still has to give Li Fuzhao some face.
Michael Kadoorie also felt strange that Li Fuzhao came uninvited. Could it be that there is something important and he would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing? The other party would never be idle and bored and take the initiative to look at him.
Now that people are here, plus the good relationship between the families and individuals of both parties. Of course, Michael Kadoorie couldn't neglect it. Going to greet him in person would also give him enough face.
Michael Kadoorie grew up in Hong Kong and speaks the vernacular very fluently. If it weren't for his appearance, people would definitely feel that he is a local from Xiangjiang. Therefore, when communicating with Xiangjiang tycoons, they basically use vernacular, which can be regarded as doing as the Romans do.
Of course, there is an exception. When communicating with the richest man, the guy likes to use Hebrew. There are not many people in Xiangjiang who can master Hebrew proficiently. It is easy to forget if you don't speak it, so you should practice it with Bao Zixuan.
Michael Kadoorie: "Hello, Li Sheng. I don't know why you are here. Don't say you came to see me. I'm old, so you can't be too excited."
It’s a typical Xiangjiang people’s greeting style, with some Jewish elements mixed in.
Li Fuzhao: "Mi Gao, how do you know I didn't come here specifically to see you? The Kadoorie family company has been growing so fast recently, and they even want to invite you to come and list on the Far East Exchange!"
This situation is basically impossible at present. After all, the Kadoorie family is a foreign-owned enterprise. The companies listed on the Far East Exchange are all Chinese-controlled. At this time, Xiangjiang merchants were still very clear about their differences; they did not interfere with each other and could basically achieve peaceful coexistence.
Michael Kadoorie: "I heard that several stock exchanges are preparing to merge, and you will be the first chief executive of the merged stock exchange. In the future, please pay more attention and don't distinguish Chinese capital from British capital so clearly."
The call for the merger of the four major stock exchanges is getting louder and louder, and it is no secret to Hong Kong’s top wealthy people. Now that the Far East Exchange is the strongest and has the largest trading volume, it is natural that Li Fuzhao will become the head coach of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The other companies don't have any objections to this, and they don't dare to have any objections.
If there is no merger, they will be the only ones injured in the end; at this time, two companies are almost unable to hold on.
Li Fuzhao: "I haven't even scratched the surface yet, but I don't dare to say anything nonsense, so as not to make others laugh. I came here this time to ask you something, and in Xiangjiang, only you know best."
When asked about things, he knows best. Could it be that regarding the Middle East, Bao Zixuan might be more cooperative than him. But since the other party is here, it means that he trusts you, so of course he cannot refuse.
Michael Kadoorie: "First of all, let's say it, it's okay if I know it, but you can't force it if I don't know it."
Li Fuzhao: "Of course I won't make it difficult for you. I just want to ask you about someone; whether you are familiar with Prince Sultan of Saudi Arabia."
Hearing this name, Michael Kadoorie said very seriously: "Why do you suddenly ask about this person?"
"After all, you are also a Hong Kong tycoon, but you don't know the number three figure in Saudi Arabia. But for Prince Sultan, Heiyun Bao Zixuan may be more familiar with him."
"He has a lot of investments in Saudi Arabia and has a good personal relationship with Prince Sultan."
Hearing that he is the third most powerful person in Saudi Arabia is enough to explain everything. No wonder Bao Zixuan takes it so seriously. Where does his identity lie?
In fact, Li Fuzhao is also worried about being cheated. Although the probability of this is very low, it is not impossible to happen. There are so many members of the Saudi royal family, and it is difficult to refuse the offer of the richest man in Hong Kong. Now that all the mysteries have been solved, it is better to think carefully about going to Saudi Arabia.
