Chapter 1489 Definite Confidence
At this stage, many tycoons in Hong Kong are definitely at odds with each other, and everyone has their own little Jiujiu. In the past, most people competed in real estate and shipping. But now the situation has changed a lot. Because of Bao's relationship with the richest man, the threshold for banks has been raised a lot.
The previous tycoons who made their fortune by relying on money banks have already withdrawn from the financial field. The people who can continue to run banks in Xiangjiang now are not simple roles. If you don't have strength, you won't get trust at all.
And because in Hong Kong, Chinese wages are lower than those in the UK. This gives Chinese-funded enterprises a considerable advantage in terms of operating costs. Coupled with the relative flexibility in doing things, British capital cannot compete with Chinese businessmen in many areas.
Previously, it was only for other industries, but it had no obvious impact on the financial industry. But the situation is different now. Many tycoons in Hong Kong have entered the banking field, whether it is HSBC or Standard Chartered; foreign banks no longer have any advantages at all.
In the past, customers trusted them because they felt reassured. After all, both HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank are century-old companies, and their credibility can still be guaranteed. With the rise of Heiyun Bank, the whole world knows Bao Zixuan's terrifying financial resources; and Heiyun Bank is indeed much better than foreign banks in terms of ease of use and core technology.
Depositors naturally know how to choose, so British banks have already seen the crisis. If you don't change, the final result will definitely not be much better.
Li Zhaoji saw Bao Zixuan and walked over.
They basically have investments in Iraq, but their scale and size are not large compared to their worth. Just to form a good relationship, after all, the Middle East is not peaceful. If Iraq goes to war with other countries, their investment will inevitably suffer losses.
If the investment is not large, even if all is lost, it will not have much impact on Lee Shau Kee and others. Once the Iraqi economy develops, they will not only take the lead, but also be able to enter the oil and natural gas field. After all, I have supported you before, and I must give you some benefits now.
Lee Shau Kee said with a smile: "Sheng Bao is really generous, but I guess other people are not envious of it. Many people used to think that Heiyun Group was not doing its job properly by undertaking the Italian Products Japan Exhibition. But I feel that Mr. Bao will not do anything that he is not sure about." As expected, Bao Sheng never disappoints."
"It seems that when doing business, you really need to learn from Bao Sheng. There are still projects that can be invested in Fucaira. But if you think about my brother, follow you and drink some soup."
People who really think that Bao Zixuan is not doing their job properly by undertaking the Italian Products Tokyo Exhibition are basically so-called experts. Increase his popularity by slandering and denying Bao Shaofu. No matter what time, someone will take advantage of it. But Xiangjiang Tycoon, or people who know Bao Zixuan, basically don’t think so. It even feels like the other party will definitely achieve impressive results.
Sure enough, their guess was very accurate. At least Bao Zixuan once again brought surprises to the world. According to statistics compiled by authoritative media, through this exhibition, Mr. Bao earned at least US$1 billion. What is this concept? It is estimated that many large enterprises in Hong Kong cannot make that much money in a year.
This is strength, no matter how young they are; but in business, they are definitely much better than them.
The sudden mention of Fucaira seems to be no secret to the whole world. Since Lee Shau Kei knows it all, then his wife Zhang Youran must also know it. I just didn't say it, or didn't know how to say it.
But now that you’ve done it, you definitely can’t give up halfway. Lee Shau Kee wanted to invest there, and Michael Kadoorie just wanted to do the same. It can be completely transformed into another Hong Kong. Although it is very difficult, it is not impossible as long as you do it with your heart.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Li Sheng was joking, it was just good luck. I didn't expect such a good result at the time, it was just forced by the situation. If Heiyun Group wants to fully enter Italy, it must make some achievements. So I thought In order to help Italian small and medium-sized enterprises increase sales, I never expected that the Japanese would be so crazy."
"As for the investment in Fucaira in the past, there was no problem at all. In the future, Fucaira will definitely be the most developed region in the world. I can guarantee this. If Li Sheng needs it, he can sell an island to the Li family at a low price."
Even an unintentional move can achieve such good results. People say that Bao Zixuan is the illegitimate son of God; only now I discovered that it may be true. However, the other party did not continue to bring up the topic of Italy, and had made it clear before that it would not continue to undertake any product exhibitions. Then this topic can be filtered out.
Both parties are busy people, and there is no need to continue talking about projects that neither of them are prepared to pursue. But Fucaira, absolutely must enter. Even if you get a seat in advance, it’s okay. After all, the projects that Bao Zixuan is vigorously promoting have not had any problems yet.
Now Bao Zixuan said that a small island can be allocated to the Li family, which can be considered. Although I was very excited, I couldn't agree directly. If the location of the island is too impressive, he will be the one who suffers in the end.
Fucairah is located in the Middle East, and there is no stopping around it. If you are not absolutely sure, investing rashly is a very dangerous thing. Now that the other party is sincerely inviting you, you must express it.
Li Zhaoji said with a smile: "Sheng Bao said so, so the Li family needs to do a careful inspection. To be precise, it's not an inspection. Just go over and sign the contract."
"You must keep the island for me. I know Bao Sheng is going to play a big game."
The attitude must be made clear, at least not to refute the other party's face. And Bao Zixuan's meaning is very obvious, the island can definitely be built according to the family territory. Xiangjiang has always been a British colony, so the aristocrat Lee Shau Kee is no stranger.
If the Li family could have their own island and territory, it would be of great benefit to the family inheritance.
Bao Zixuan valued this and took out the island as bait. The tycoons in Xiangjiang are not short of money. But even with noble status, he would not refuse. Although there is no title, having a territory is also a kind of progress.
Last time, the British used poor aristocratic girls to attract young talents from Hong Kong, but many people took the bait. This time you only need to pay for it, and I believe many Chinese tycoons will not refuse.
Bao Zixuan said very seriously: "I will go to the Middle East in a while. If Li Sheng has time, we can go together."
"I believe you will not be disappointed. After all, it is your own place; you can build whatever you want."
It can be said that the richest man Bao at this moment is very domineering. Publicly expressing determination to develop Fucaira is of course also to enhance investor confidence.
If you don't have the confidence, how can other businessmen believe it? And it can also reassure the British that Bao Zixuan already has new goals and ideas.
If Hong Kong is always managed by the British, they certainly don’t want all the tycoons to leave. Especially Bao Zixuan, after all, this guy's influence is too great.
But now that return is inevitable, it doesn't matter. Whether Bao Zixuan is willing to go through the trouble is his own business. As long as it does not harm British interests, let him go!
The most important thing is that this guy has been very sensible recently. The United Aircraft Manufacturing Company is building very quickly. Coupled with the increase in orders, I believe that not only the overall manufacturing level of British aircraft, but also the entire national economy will be greatly improved.
Now that people have better choices, they certainly cannot stop them, and they cannot be stopped at all. Rather than making things unpleasant, it is better to let the other person loosen their hands and feet, so that a good relationship can also be formed.
Lee Shau-kee said with a smile: "Since Bao Sheng invited me, of course I won't miss it. Please inform me in advance when the time comes so that we can make arrangements."
"At the same time, I would like to ask Mr. Bao to give some guidance on which areas we should invest in. After all, I am not familiar with the place where I am, and I don't know much about the local economy."
Hearing this, Bao Zixuan thought to himself; none of the super tycoons are really fuel-efficient. On the surface, I say that I am letting myself guide, but in fact, I just don’t want to suffer a loss. After all, I would give my full support to the projects that the Li family invests in if I recommend them, no matter how high the price is.
This guy really doesn't do loss-making business, but there is no other good way at the moment. Who makes him need the support of all the tycoons now?
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem. As long as Li Sheng can trust me, I will spare no effort. But first, if the project does not make money, you can't blame me."
That's what he said, but Li Shauji knew it very well. With Bao Zixuan's character, this would never happen!
