Chapter 1890 Cooperation
Seeing Liu Datou feeling emotional, Xiao Qi would not tell him that there is actually another way to solve the problem.
That is, people's current development priorities are all in the north, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta. The competitiveness of these places is very high, so Hong Kong talents do not have an advantage.
But if you look beyond the first-tier cities and second-tier cities, and directly look at third-tier cities like Yuanyin, or even fourth-tier counties, then the competition will not be great at all, and the housing prices in these places are also very low, which is suitable for speculation.
In the previous life, after 2010, housing prices in third- and fourth-tier cities skyrocketed like this.
It's a pity that Hong Kong people don't have enough thinking. They only think that the most developed areas are the most suitable for development, but they don't know that there are big gold mines in small places.
The great ancestors of our country conquered the world by encircling the cities from the countryside, which naturally proves that in this place of China, even small places have great potential.
Of course, Xiao Qi certainly wouldn't tell Li Chaoren, Liu Datou and the others that the life of ordinary people is no longer easy, so how can they increase their burden?
Again, the best solution is to bring disasters to the east.
<
Anyway, Hong Kong people and the British have been getting along for so many years, and it is definitely a great opportunity for them to go to the British Isles to show my Chinese prestige.
In it, two people do the best job.
One is Li Chaoren who almost "bought the whole of Britain".
The other one is Liu Datou with a simple and honest smile sitting in front of him.
Liu Datou is really not simple and honest at all, and his business is not very glorious. He gradually developed and grew stronger after cheating several collaborators in a row.
But because of his previous misdeeds, even Zheng Yoga was wary of him, let alone others.
In his previous life, if he hadn't gone to England, a place where everyone didn't know him, Liu Datou would always have assets of at most one or two billion US dollars, and he would not be the sixth super rich man in Hong Kong.
In the previous life, without Xiao Qi's guidance, Liu Datou went to England himself in order to seek a breakthrough.
Now he thinks that Xiao Qi is a good business strategist, so he really wants to discuss the pros and cons of going to the UK with Xiao Qi.
"Our Hong Kong is under British rule. After all, it has been close to 100 years. Both in terms of thinking and business methods, we are inextricably linked with the UK, so you suggest that we develop in the British market. I immediately It feels as if a vast door has opened in front of me." After feeling. Liu Datou continued to talk about his own thoughts: "The population of the UK is 60 million. The area is close to 250,000 square kilometers. It is an old capitalist country with a developed economy and people's living standards are very good. The prices are similar to Hong Kong. In my case It seems that this is a big Hong Kong that has expanded by more than 200 times! As long as we adapt a little bit and adapt to the British market, we will definitely be able to make money in the UK!"
After a pause, he smiled again: "It's not just Chinese people who like houses very much, but also rich people in Britain. If it wasn't for the American market, I would be ready to go to the United States! Americans' desire for land, Better than the Chinese? At least I know that there is a super rich man in the United States who has more than 2 million acres of land in his hands, which is 10,000 square kilometers in total!"
Xiao Qi nodded and said: "Mr. Liu is a smart person, I think your move will work."
"Qi Shao, you think so too?" Liu Datou said calmly: "Then are you interested in earning money from the British with me?"
"Huh?" Xiao Qi was taken aback.
"I mean, since Qi Shao also finds it interesting, let's set up a company together and go to the UK to make money!" Liu Datou clenched his fists: "Although I am not as powerful as Li Chaoren and the others, they are old now and there is no more Vigorous. But I can be proactive and will definitely bring the most lucrative benefits to the company!"
Xiao Qi couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Liu, why do you think I will trust you?"
"Because no one thinks too much money, especially when earning money from foreigners." Liu Datou said seriously: "I have studied Qi Shao's business in the Mainland, and I found that your real estate is basically a small profit. It is a model of high sales and does not care about the unit price at all. This is contrary to the high price of your dream pad and dream stars.
The only reason that can reasonably explain these two contradictory phenomena is probably because you think earning real estate money in China is somewhat disgraceful and dirty? And to the UK, you will not have such scruples! Because the money of the gringos is not earned for nothing, and whether they live in dire straits has nothing to do with you. "
"Papa..."
Xiao Qi clapped his hands, "I have to say something, Mr. Liu, your observation skills are very strong! Speaking of which, I am also a little interested, but there is still one biggest question."
Liu Datou said without hesitation: "What questions, Qi Shao, please tell me!"
"How can you guarantee that I won't become your stepping stone like those of your partners? Or if the profit is directly swallowed by you, let me bear the loss?" Xiao Qi said slowly: "I can trust Superman Li, but I can't trust you!"
If someone dared to speak to Liu Datou like that, he would definitely turn the table over immediately.
But it was Xiao Qi who was talking, even Li Chaoren dared not say that he was willing to turn against Xiao Qi, let alone a small rich man whose wealth was not as good as 1% of Xiao Qi.
Besides, what Xiao Qi said was not a lie, but a very profound fact.
After pondering for a while, Liu Datou gave a wry smile: "I am a little selfish, and I also like to use some small tricks. But it is rare, and this is to divide people. I absolutely dare not show any disrespect to Uncle Zheng. I don’t even dare to play tricks in front of you. Because I know that no matter how I make money, I can’t be stronger than you! When dealing with someone who is stronger than me, I only have awe and dare not make small moves.”
"You are sincere." Xiao Qi smiled, "Tell me carefully, how do you want to partner with me?"
"I think so." Liu Datou said: "My brother and I control a total of 70% of the shares of Huaren Real Estate. We are going to use this part of the shares as collateral to borrow 1 billion US dollars from you. Then Oddly, you will invest another 2 billion US dollars to set up a new company. Our brothers will be responsible for the specific operations, and the final profit will be divided into four or six, four for us and six for you.
If possible, we also hope that you can help introduce your good friend, Mr. Branson, the richest man in the UK, and ask him to help make a match, and it is best to get a stake in our company. Of course, his profits are shared outside of us and will not affect the profit sharing between us. "
What Liu Datou meant was that Xiao Qi only contributed money to invest, and he did the rest.
He charged 7% profit for his operation and manpower, which seems high at first glance, but Xiao Qi knows that he is destined to shine, so this amount is not high at all.
However, besides Xiao Qi's money, Liu Datou wanted a foothold in the British real estate industry more importantly.
Richard Branson, the chairman of Virgin, has been involved in many projects in the UK, including real estate. Although it is not his main business, at least he has basic contacts, which can offset the resistance of many Hong Kong companies to invest mood.
Without Xiao Qi, Branson would not necessarily pay attention to Liu Datou.
With Xiao Qi's face, Branson will take care of him no matter what.
But Liu Datou did not give Xiao Qi any benefit in this respect.
Xiao Qi knew that he would not be so simple, how could he not consider such a simple and easy-to-understand matter?
Obviously, this is Liu Datou waiting for Xiao Qi to bring up this matter, and then agreeing smoothly, so as to hide his real purpose.
What is Liu Datou's real purpose?
Naturally, the cooperation with Xiao Qi was reached!
Thinking about it carefully, Liu Datou didn't pay anything except labor!
The 1 billion US dollars he invested was also dismantled from Xiao Qi! !
That is to say, Xiao Qi contributed all the funds by himself, but he only shared 60% of the profit, and there were also some negligible interest on the loan. He really lost money.
However, looking at Liu Datou who became a little embarrassed because of Xiao Qi's silence, Xiao Qi didn't try to expose his small thoughts.
"That's it." Xiao Qi said: "I will contribute 5 billion US dollars, and you don't have to pay any more. And I will be responsible for bringing Branson into the partnership, giving him 15% of the shares, and then you will also share 15% Shares, how about it?"
According to Liu Datou's original idea, he occupies about 1.2 billion shares, and Xiao Qi directly gave him 750 million US dollars, which is directly equivalent to Xiao Qi sending him 750 million US dollars.
However, due to fewer shares, the profits are naturally much lower.
Naturally, Liu Datou doesn't know how much money he will earn in British real estate in the future, so just looking at the 750 million US dollars equivalent to his net worth, he is already salivating!
Xiao Qi smiled when he saw this.
Liu Datou’s achievements in his previous life were almost 9 billion U.S. dollars. If Liu Datou’s previous 40% share was used, Liu Datou could get a profit of about 3.6 billion U.S. dollars. He only got 2.1 billion US dollars, and the remaining 1.5 billion US dollars was eaten by Xiao Qi.
So at first glance, Xiao Qi was at a loss, but if you count the final results, Xiao Qi would actually earn a lot more.
"Qi Shao, your proposal is very good." After pondering for a long time, Liu Datou raised his head and said, "I'll go back and discuss it with my brother, and I'll give you an answer within a week at most. What do you think?"
"Yes." Xiao Qi nodded.
"Can I ask why you are willing to give me shares worth so much money?" Liu Datou couldn't help asking.
"Because I think you are worth the price." Xiao Qi said with a smile: "People are not afraid of not having money, they are most afraid of not being aggressive! If you are willing to go to England, I believe you can make a fortune!" (To be continued...)
