Chapter 2261 Large Investment in Infrastructure

What other industries in Hong Kong are worth investing in? This is a topic that Xiao Qi asked Superman Li when he came out of TVB and had lunch.

Li Chaoren said with a smile, "In fact, there are many places to make money in Hong Kong, it depends on what you think. In the most basic industries of human life, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, we still have many profitable industries."

He is not avoiding the important and taking the light of the light, but these words also express the greatest helplessness in Hong Kong.

That is, Hong Kong has a large population and a small land, and lacks resources and industrial base. It has not studied in the electronic high-tech industry. Except for port trade and banking and finance, it has almost no influence on the outside world.

This is the important reason why so many wealthy people, after seeing Hong Kong's increasingly lackluster economic prospects, want to discuss with Xiao Qi and ask Xiao Qi to give them advice on where the future lies next.

Investing in high-tech is what everyone is doing, and many people go to the United States to buy shares and buy companies, but these are very risky, and there is no guarantee that they will make a lot of money, and sometimes they can’t even keep their capital—don’t look at Xiao Qi Investment in the electronic network industry is always beneficial, but this is based on his reincarnation and rebirth memory. Dozens of hundreds of Internet and electronic companies are established in the United States every day, but there are also dozens of bankruptcy every day. There are hundreds of companies, and there are almost very few companies that can really survive and grow.

They thought they didn't have Xiao Qi's vision, and Xiao Qi had no intention of cooperating with them in this regard, so they were very interested in Xiao Qi's proposal of going to the UK to develop businesses such as infrastructure construction and real estate.

In terms of system, the British are completely familiar to Hong Kong people, and they have a very close cooperative relationship with British consortiums-many consortia in Hong Kong are now at the helm of the British.

Xiao Qi smiled, "I now have a new account of 10.5 billion U.S. dollars, and I don't know where to invest it. Hong Kong is still too small."

"Is this the previous bond credit default swap insurance income?" With Li Chaoren's city mansion, he couldn't help being a little envious. "You can get 10.5 billion in cash income in one go, and the US securities and financial management departments have successfully passed this audit. You really have a set!"

To be honest, Li Chaoren didn't believe that Xiao Qi poured 1.6 billion dollars into it just to support Mochiyev.

He thought that Xiao Qi must have some inside information, and of course it would not be so detailed, otherwise the bond credit default swap insurance of the four investment banks would have been bought, and he would have earned money from two of them. Qi's default swap insurance was eaten up.

But that's the case. He still admires Xiao Qi very much, betting with 1.6 billion US dollars, such courage and means, even he can't do it.

Listening to Xiao Qi talking about this matter, Li Chaoren continued to eat his lunch leisurely, and countless thoughts passed through his mind.

"My Changshi Group can help buy some company stocks. I wonder if Qishao is interested?" Li Chaoren asked tentatively.

He wanted to tie up with Xiao Qi and let Xiao Qi join the chariot of the Li family, so that he could borrow the power of the richest man in the world. It is definitely a good thing to be able to develop your own family business empire.

Of course, with his scheming. Naturally, it is impossible for Xiao Qi to seize control of the Changshi Group after investing in it.

Unexpectedly. Xiao Qi actually refused directly, "I'm not interested in real estate, let's just forget about Changshi Group."

Li Chaoren was dumbfounded for a moment, don't you have fairy real estate, and you said you are not interested in real estate?

But then he figured it out, Xiao Qi's Fairy Real Estate is a wonder in the real estate industry, and a newspaper in Hong Kong discussed this matter a few days ago, saying that if Fairy Real Estate develops in Hong Kong, it will definitely win the favor of thousands of people support and advocacy. Housing prices in Hong Kong will definitely drop by more than 50% as a result.

Encounter such a person who has money but does not make money, but only suppresses housing prices. It can only be said that the real estate developers are unlucky.

That's why Li Chao understood why Xiao Qi didn't like real estate, but still wanted to spend a lot of money on real estate.

"However, I am more interested in the business in Australia and the UK." Xiao Qi then said such a sentence.

What does he mean?

Thoughts in Li Chaoren's mind were spinning like lightning, but a smile appeared on his face: "Is there any chance I'm interested in getting involved in the business I'm planning to invest in?"

"That's right." Xiao Qi nodded and said, "I'm not interested in other businesses, but I hope to do business in basic living facilities in these two countries, including three projects of water, electricity, and gas, as well as the mobile communication business."

"Oh?" Li Chaoren smiled, "Qi Shao, your thoughts coincide with many of my thoughts."

"A capable person thinks about a lot of the same things. Mr. Li and I can naturally think of this together." Xiao Qi said, "My opinion is that if Changshi has plans to do these projects, then we A new company can be established. I can invest in it and occupy about 40% of the shares, and then in the field of mobile communications, I can also provide necessary technical support to support the development of the new company.”

"In Qi Shao's mind, what should be the company's assets?" Li Chaoren didn't answer, but asked a new question.

"About 30 billion U.S. dollars." Xiao Qi replied leisurely, "It happens that I have 10.5 billion in cash."

Li Chaoren smiled wryly, "Qi Shao, you are really bold! A large company with more than 250 billion Hong Kong dollars is as simple as eating and drinking water."

"Aren't we just eating and drinking water now?" Xiao Qi spread his hands, "As far as I know, there are countless big deals negotiated on the dining table. Given the wealth status of the two of us, this matter is actually quite simple. After making it clear, there will be professionals to discuss specific matters for the rest, right?"

"That's true." Li Chaoren said with a smile, "But I have to think about this matter. After all, it involves 170 billion Hong Kong dollars in funds. No matter how powerful the Cheung Kong Group is, it is also powerless to withdraw such funds immediately."

"Of course, this fund will not be recorded in one lump sum. Negotiating various business transactions requires long-term practice. I estimate that it will be good to use up all the money within three years." Xiao Qi said, "As for the future Whether it is to develop steadily or to increase investment, then we will discuss it at that time."

Li Chaoren nodded slowly. In fact, he already knew this, and what he said just now was just an excuse.

Now that Xiao Qi has made it clear, he is not afraid to ask more clearly, "Why do you pay so much money, but only want 30% of the shares? According to what I know about you, you don't seem like the kind of person who is willing to Those who give up their dominance."

"It's very simple. The background of the Cheung Kong Group is Hong Kong. This is a place with a strong British atmosphere. Britain and Australia, which also belong to the Commonwealth, will certainly not reject investment companies dominated by Hong Kong people." Xiao Qi said, " But I am in a difficult situation. If I invest alone, do you think they are willing to put their livelihood industry in my hands? Do you think they are willing to let me control their communication industry?"

Li Chaoren laughed dumbfounded again, and nodded with a smile.

What Xiao Qi said is really an indisputable fact.

If Xiao Qi is allowed to control the infrastructure of these countries, those people will not be able to sleep well.

As for those smart electronics and network companies, after all, they are just a kind of business. It doesn’t matter if Xiao Qi founded or controlled them. If it involves the industry of eating and drinking, then you can see if Uncle Sam will hold it up. Big stick?

Li Chaoren is different. Although Hong Kong is the territory of China, it belongs to a special economic and trade free port. Coupled with the previous relationship with the United Kingdom, Li Chaoren and the others will definitely not be excluded if they go to the United Kingdom and Australia to do business. of.

Under such circumstances, Xiao Qi's shareholding of 30% is also an appropriate ratio.

Superman Li thought a lot about it.

Although the businesses that Xiao Qi mentioned have long been the focus of development of the Changshi Group and the Li family that he is optimistic about in the future, they would still do it without Xiao Qi's participation in the shares.

Therefore, on the surface, it seems that Xiao Qi's funds are a bit of icing on the cake, not just a quick gift, but a feeling of taking advantage.

After all, Li Chaoren, Li Dachao and others were actively mediating and negotiating these businesses, while Xiao Qi was only responsible for the investment and didn't need to contribute at all.

But Superman Li doesn't see it that way.

He is already 81 years old, and no matter how long he lives, it is impossible to protect his two sons for another 20 or 30 years, so he needs to find reliable allies for his sons.

Xiao Qi is Li Chaoren's favorite candidate.

Not only because Xiao Qi is an outstanding young genius, but also because Xiao Qi is very steady in doing things, without any impetuous mentality of being young and ambitious, he is completely a successful example of a Confucian businessman!

Now Li Xiaochao and Xiao Qi have a good relationship, if the connection between the Li family and Xiao Qi can be further strengthened, and the interests of the two families can be tied together, then at least in the next fifty or sixty years, the Li family will not have to worry After the prosperity and decline, the descendants of the Li family can still get a good development.

So Li Chaoren has always wanted to do business with Xiao Qi directly, and wanted Xiao Qi to participate in Changshi Group.

Although Xiao Qi is not directly participating in the Cheung Kong Group, but he has formed a new company and can work closely together.

Besides, Xiao Qi is not greedy. Although 30% of the shares are the single largest shareholder, Cheung Kong Group has the upper hand overall, and the Li family that controls the Cheung Kong Group also has an advantage.

Although it was impossible to agree to Xiao Qi on the spot, Superman Li no longer had the intention of refusing. Instead, he began to think about how to use the huge momentum of Xiao Qi's shareholding to fuel his acquisitions in the UK and Australia! (to be continued ~^~)
