Chapter 1554 Transactions

How could Xiao Qi be moved by Li Chaoren's words, and then he patted his chest and said such big words as "what do I tell you"?

The young man's mind was originally detached from this mortal world. If it weren't for the fact that he was from Huaguo and had a kind heart, it would be difficult for him to use his kung fu outside the power of the money-making circle.

Wanting to save the entire stock market or finance in Hong Kong, Xiao Qi thinks he has no such ability, and he is not the national government, so where is it his turn to worry about it?

If you can take good care of yourself and your family, and do the good things you can do, that's enough.

If you stretch out your hands randomly, it will cause many unpredictable problems.

So he just drank tea calmly, waiting for Li Chaoren's next words.

Li Chaoren sighed secretly, this kid is just a loach, he doesn't look like a young man at all, it seems that the relationship with him is still not friendly!

His thoughts flashed by, but Li Chaoren didn't change his expression much, just smiled and said: "Qi Shao, if the Hong Kong stock market is deadlocked and is about to plummet in a panic, can I ask you to do one thing?"

"Uncle Li, please tell me." Xiao Qi nodded.

"The leading stock in Hong Kong is my Cheung Kong Group." Li Chaoren said, "If the situation is at a critical moment, I hope that you can buy the shares of our Cheung Kong Group, not too much, only 5%- 10% is fine, this will be of great benefit to boosting the confidence of the entire Hong Kong stock market, and even if you are rare, you will be of great merit!"

The Hong Kong stock market is naturally much healthier than the mainland stock market.

As a super-large aircraft carrier group with a market value of almost 1 trillion Hong Kong dollars in the Hong Kong stock market, Cheung Kong has always been the vane of Hong Kong's stock market.

If the Cheung Kong Group rises, the Hong Kong stock market will rise.

Cheung Kong fell, and the Hong Kong stock market naturally fell.

If the stock market is plummeting, Cheung Kong Group will have the world's richest man, a genius boy Xiao Qi, buy a large number of them. Then this kind of economic boosting psychology is definitely like a shot in the arm, greatly alleviating the panic of Hong Kong stockholders.

Although it may not be able to achieve the effect of stabilizing the stock market, it is absolutely impossible to stop the unstoppable slump like it did in 1997.

It is very debilitating to plummet and plummet again.

Judging from the current US subprime mortgage crisis, the keen Li Chaoren has already noticed it. A larger financial crisis is just around the corner, and Asia will definitely be affected by that time.

The Hong Kong stock market is not as strong as the stock markets in the Mainland and Japan, and there is not much support from the real economy. The foundation is too weak. In terms of damage, it may be even more miserable than Thailand and Singapore.

Xiao Qi thought for a while, but didn't speak.

After all, the stock market is a place for commercial activities. Since you have joined in, you can do nothing but make money. Also consider losing money.

The Hong Kong stock market is of course no exception. If you join this game, you must be willing to gamble and admit defeat. You must have the mentality of accepting failure, otherwise you should not enter it at all.

How can such a good thing be possible when you are making money, but when you are losing money, you have to be rescued?

Xiao Qi has no interest in playing the role of savior. What's more, Li Chaoren wanted Xiao Qi to pay the price just because of the words "merit is immeasurable". It is too much to underestimate the young man.

To put it bluntly, this is completely different from charity and disaster relief, and has nothing to do with "immeasurable merit".

We are all smart people.

Seeing that Xiao Qi didn't speak, Li Chaoren immediately understood that he was waiting for him to throw a bargaining chip in exchange.

Usually in the business world, it's a matter of asking someone to do something, even if it's between relatives. It also needs to be beneficial.

Not to mention that Li Chaoren not only wanted to give Hong Kong stock market a shot in the arm, but also planned to invite Xiao Qi to his chariot. How could it be possible for Li Chaoren to kill two birds with one stone? benefit?

Only by mutual assistance and mutual benefit can we do business for a long time.

Li Chaoren certainly understands this truth. But he didn't take advantage of Xiao Qi's youth and pay less price.

It's a pity that after this confrontation, Li Chaoren finally saw clearly that Xiao Qi is really a little fox, not those ordinary technical geniuses at all, and he is very sophisticated in his life.

"Of course, I won't let Qi Shao work for nothing." Li Chaoren smiled slightly, "Qi Shao, do you know that there is a chain store Watsons under Hutchison Whampoa?"

"Know."

Xiao Qi's heart skipped a beat, but on the surface it was calm.

"If the financial crisis spreads to innocent people and it's hard to get back, my second plan is to separate Watsons and list them in Hong Kong, so as to boost everyone's confidence in the Hong Kong stock market." Li Chaoren said lightly, "If Qishao is interesting, I am going to sell 37.5% of the shares to Qishao for a total price of 30 billion Hong Kong dollars. What do you think?"

Of course it is good!

Xiao Qi was overjoyed, it really is so!

The Watsons brand was established as early as 1828. It is a similar type of chain store to 7-11, except that they mainly sell cosmetics, health care products, drinks, etc., and most of the objects they attract are daily necessities. Not the food side of 7-11.

This year is 2007. Watsons has a total of 7,000 stores and pharmacies around the world. The 300th branch in mainland China was also opened in Jinling, Jiangdong in the first two months.

But in the following years, Watsons expanded rapidly.

By 2013, a total of more than 13,000 stores and pharmacies have been opened around the world, of which 1,500 have been opened in mainland China, becoming the well-deserved number one in the industry.

At that time, Singapore’s state-owned investment company Temasek Group spent HK$44 billion to buy 24.95% of Watson’s shares, more than double the current price.

This is just an equity transaction before listing. Once it is listed, it is not an exaggeration to increase the value by one or two times.

Xiao Qi was thinking about what to use to make up for Feng Kexin's private money gap with Li Shaozhi, but Li Chaoren gave him a pillow.

"Uncle Li is being polite." Xiao Qi laughed, "It is my duty to help Hong Kong compatriots!"

What a little fox!

Li Chaoren sighed inwardly, but became happy again.

On the surface, Xiao Qi took advantage of it, but what kind of a gimmick would a company with Xiao Qi become a shareholder of?

Just say Watsons, if it doesn't go public and hype it into a 300 billion big company, it will be regarded as a marketing failure! !

In this way, the Li family made more money! (to be continued..)
