Chapter 132 Rong Rongxu Wants to Undertake the Kyoto Development and Renovation Project
It was close to 11 o'clock the next morning.
Badaling Great Wall in Kyoto.
As the folk saying goes, if you don't visit the Great Wall, you are not a true man. Zhuang Rongxu came here as his first stop when he came to Sijiu City.
Although he had been here in the previous life, he only passed by in a hurry and did not really feel the grandeur of this place.
But today he really felt everything here, and realized how domineering the Great Wall really is.
"Boss, we have an appointment with people from the urban development planning department for dinner this afternoon. It's almost time." Queyi on the side reminded Zhuang Rongxu.
"Has Que Qi arrived?" Zhuang Rongxu asked.
Queqi and the others will also come during this trip to Sijiu City. His main purpose of coming here is not to invest, but to open up the real estate construction company under Shengshi Group and come to undertake the project.
Zhuang Rongxu learned that starting from 1980, there will be bidding for numerous overpasses, urban greening projects, sewer projects, subway construction, dams and reservoirs, road widening and other projects in Sijiucheng.
If Shengshi Real Estate wants to gain popularity in the inland area, it must undertake these projects and expand its influence step by step.
If he was just relying on building a building to make money to build the real estate company's reputation, then Zhuang Rongxu would not come to Sijiu City this time.
Although he is a Xiangjiang businessman, he is still considered an outsider. If he wants his real estate company to develop, he must be recognized by the people in the department here. Only by receiving these projects can his real estate company be developed.
Otherwise, in the future, his real estate company in the mainland will just be a vampire who builds buildings to make money, without any projects that can be taken forward. This is not the real estate company that Zhuang Rongxu wants.
If he could, he would even fight for the inland highway project.
"Quie Qi hasn't gotten off the plane yet. We can wait for her arrival at the hotel."
"Let's go then. I will definitely come back when I have the chance. I must go in and feel it." Zhuang Rongxu said as he turned around and left.
Around 12.30pm.
Kyoto Fishing Hotel.
Zhuang Rongxu lives in this place. Since it was officially opened to the public in 1979, countless tourists have rushed to try to live there.
Moreover, in this era, it was not cheap to stay in this hotel for one night, and it was not an exaggeration to charge sky-high prices, but there were still countless people wanting to stay.
It's because many big guys have lived here, and they all want to get a taste of the dragon spirit here.
"Comrade Xiaozhuang, you are very welcome to Kyoto. I heard that you are doing a lot in the capital. Director Liang keeps calling back to apply. It's great. If there were more compatriots like you, then We will definitely be better inland." The person in charge of Zhuang Rongxu's appointment said slowly.
"Leader Qiao, don't worry, the interior will get better. I believe it won't take long for the entire Dragon Kingdom to take on a new look and get rid of poverty." Zhuang Rongxu also responded.
The person he met this time was a director, so Zhuang Rongxu also became serious, eliminated the hip-hop and nonchalant chatting style, and tried to be more steady.
Moreover, the matter discussed this time can be said to be him asking for help, not others asking for him, so he must also give the other party a good impression.
"By the way, Comrade Xiaozhuang, you came to Kyoto this time to invest, right?"
"Investment is the second plan. The main thing is to talk to you about some cooperation and see if it is feasible."
"When it comes to cooperation, Comrade Xiaozhuang, just say it's okay. With your and Mr. Zhuang's strong support for the inland, any cooperation will be given the green light as long as it is not illegal."
"Leader Qiao, you are so polite. Thank you Leader Qiao for recognizing me..."
"Dong dong dong..."
At this time, there was a knock on the door in the box.
"come in."
"Sorry boss, I just arrived."
"It's okay, come here. This is Leader Qiao from the Longguo Urban Planning and Development Department. You can get to know him."
"Hello, leader Qiao, my name is Meng Lina."
"Hello, Ms. Meng Lina."
"Leader Qiao, this Meng Lina is the general manager of Xiangjiang Shengshi Group and also my employee."
"What, Comrade Xiaozhuang, you..."
Leader Qiao suddenly remembered why Director Liang from the Demon City was so surprised when he talked to him on the phone. It turned out to be like this. It's no wonder that Director Liang attaches so much importance to Zhuang Rongxu. It turns out that he still has this identity.
No wonder Director Liang would attract investment from Shengshi Group. He was still surprised at the time.
Now he understood everything.
"Okay, I didn't expect you, Comrade Xiaozhuang, to have this identity. It's amazing that without any news, you actually captured the original Hutchison Whampoa."
"How did you manage not to be discovered by anyone? Didn't your father, Comrade Shiping, know about it either?" Leader Qiao asked very curiously.
"I'm sorry, Leader Qiao, because the situation at that time was very complicated, so I secretly captured Hutchison Whampoa in this way. Otherwise, the people I faced at that time were Mr. Li from HSBC Bank and Cheung Kong Holdings, and I, a newcomer, had nothing to do with it. The odds are good."
"Hahaha, tell me, I remember that the old man was still paying attention to this matter at the time. We all felt a pity at that time, after all, such an important group did not fall into our Chinese capital in the end. Now we are relieved, Hutchison was It’s still our Chinese capital.”
"It's a long story..."
"Then let's make a long story short." Leader Qiao showed an attitude of not getting to the bottom of things and not giving up in the end.
Seeing this, Zhuang Rongxu could only nod slightly: "This is what happened."
"At the beginning, I was very optimistic about Hutchison Whampoa's future. Unfortunately, I had just started to develop my career at that time and had no such plans at all."
"Until one time, I met the heir of the Goldman family in the United States. She knew that I needed a loan, so she recommended me to cooperate with Huaqi Bank."
"After returning to Xiangjiang, the Walkman product developed by my company happened to be recognized by the market, and the company also showed great potential."
"Later, after getting acquainted with Brett, the general manager of Huaqi Bank, we talked about Hutchison Whampoa Group. Brett knew that I was interested in Hutchison, and Huaqi also wanted to expand its influence in Hong Kong and surpass HSBC, so he chose me as a breakthrough point. , willing to fully lend money to support my acquisition of Hutchison."
"At the same time, Huaqi Bank also cooperated with me. They secretly contacted Hutchison's investment companies on the market and took over all the equity they owned. Together with the acquisitions on the market, my equity in Hutchison was once as high as 36%."
"At this time, my equity ownership in Hutchison exceeded that of HSBC. I originally planned to apply to become the owner of Hutchison, but I didn't expect that Li Sheng was more anxious than me. Li Sheng and HSBC jointly drove away Hutchison's then general manager. Wei Li, announced that he has become the owner of Hutchison."
"This gave me another idea, which is to definitely get 15% of Wei Li's shares, so that Hutchison can be completely controlled by me."
"I believe you, Leader Qiao, also know what happened next." Zhuang Rongxu told what happened in one breath, but he must have beautified himself to prevent himself from looking ugly.
"So that's the case. No wonder you were able to win Hutchison Whampoa when you first entered the business world. Now you still own 100% of the shares. Huaqi Bank is so courageous."
"As an international super bank, Huaqi Bank must have seen the potential of Xiangjiang, so they must not be willing to be stepped on to survive in Xiangjiang." Zhuang Rongxu said this naturally.
"Indeed, but after all, Huaqi Bank is a company over there and it's difficult to control."
"Leader Qiao, I think it's better than HSBC. At least Huaqi won't secretly do something to suit the changing circumstances just to stabilize its position and stabilize its own interests." Zhuang Rongxu said with a hint of truth.
Director Qiao heard this and looked directly at Zhuang Rongxu: "Comrade Xiaozhuang, what do you mean by this?"
"Leader Qiao, I just feel that HSBC is not trustworthy. As for the rest, I can't say. After all, I don't have any direct evidence." Zhuang Rongxu responded truthfully.
He also hopes that people here will not place too much trust in HSBC, and do not worry about the need for HSBC's support to get Hong Kong back in the future.
This will only continue to connive at HSBC, swinging between the two sides more unscrupulously, using tricks overtly and covertly, saying support here, but constantly making small moves behind the scenes.
All in all, Zhuang Rongxu has no good impression of HSBC at all. If possible, he will definitely get rid of HSBC at any cost.
However, it is difficult to kill HSBC in Hong Kong, at least while Hong Kong is still under the management of the British Hong Kong government. If you want to kill HSBC, you must hit it with one blow and directly make HSBC unable to resist.
But how can it be so easy to achieve this step? Not to mention that it takes time to formulate a comprehensive plan, and it also requires sufficient financial support. At least the funds must exceed the liquid assets of HSBC and the Hong Kong government’s storage funds, otherwise it will be difficult to defeat .
Zhuang Rongxu can only think about this now. He knows that it is currently impossible to defeat HSBC, but he is not discouraged.
He can wait until Xiangjiang returns home, then Zhuang Rongxu can guarantee that he will definitely deal with HSBC. HSBC without the support of the British and Hong Kong governments is like a tiger losing a tooth.
The other party will have many more methods.
As long as he has enough funds.
However, the first step still requires Zhuang Rongxu to own a bank with a high status in Xiangjiang. Therefore, during this period, he is also paying attention to the bank that suits him, and slowly starts from a small age.
And Joe leads this side.
"Comrade Xiaozhuang, I feel like you have a strong prejudice against HSBC." Leader Qiao said with a smile.
"Okay, let's not talk about these things. The old man has his own plans."
"By the way, Comrade Xiaozhuang, can you tell me what kind of business you plan to cooperate with me now?"
Zhuang Rongxu looked at Que Qi, and Que Qi understood in seconds.
"Leader Qiao, the real estate construction company under Shengshi Group wants to undertake the urban reconstruction business in Kyoto, whether it is urban greening, road reconstruction, highway construction, park construction, subway construction, etc. Our company has this ability and also has the experience , fully meets all requirements.”
"Do you want to contract these projects?"
"Yes, Leader Qiao, I hope you can think about it carefully. I believe you also know that the original Hutchison Whampoa Real Estate Construction Company is no worse than Land in Xiangjiang. It has built similar projects in Xiangjiang, so I am confident and capable that we can reach an agreement with Inland Perfect collaboration.”
"Comrade Xiaozhuang, you should know that I am not the one who made the decision on this matter."
"I know, I just need Leader Joe to give us a chance to bid."
"this……."
Leader Qiao immediately became embarrassed when he heard this, because when these projects started, in order to cultivate construction companies in his area, he took the initiative to suggest not to introduce foreign investors when drafting the plans.
Now Zhuang Rongxu took the initiative to find him and wanted him to make such a request. For a moment, he really didn't know what to do.
For businessmen like Zhuang Rongxu, Qiao's leaders are still willing to cooperate. After all, he also supports the development of the inland and is considered one of his own.
But now he can't slap himself in the face, which makes him so embarrassed.
Director Qiao thought for a while.
"Comrade Xiaozhuang, I need to go back to a meeting to discuss this matter before I can reply to you. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I'll wait for good news from Leader Qiao."
Then Zhuang Rongxu didn't continue to say anything about this matter. Anyway, he had already made a request. If the other party was serious about it, it would happen naturally.
If the other party had no intention, then he wouldn't do that shameless thing of blocking the door every day, waiting for him, and begging him to agree.
Even if he can't participate in the bidding, it doesn't matter. It just slows down the development momentum of his real estate company, and there is no big loss.
If he has money, he can still buy land and build buildings, and he can still make money, but he will lose some prestige.
Until the banquet was over, Zhuang Rongxu didn't mention it again and kept chatting.
Talking about the future development direction of the inland.
