We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

In the following week, Hong Kong Island's newspapers ushered in a feast, and every day Wharf's news attracted a large number of consumers to pay for it.

Negotiations between the new company established by Luo Nianzhong and Charter King went smoothly with Jardine Matheson and some small shareholders. The two parties signed a contract at a price of HK$70 per share. At this point, the new company held 73.1% of the shares of Wharf and began to launch Delisting and privatization.

An interesting point is that the Hong Kong Island Company Code of Acquisitions, Mergers and Share Buy-backs, which has just been promulgated two years ago, seems to be revised in advance.

What is driving this matter is not Jardine Matheson, which lost the Wharf, but the British small shareholders of Wharf. They are now pushing for the reform of this code to protect the rights and interests of shareholders and investors.

In particular, holding 35% of the shares would be like a comprehensive tender offer for all shareholders. They did not want another Wharf incident to happen. If Jardine Matheson ran away, the stock price in their hands would be worthless.

The entire privatization process was still very smooth. When Luo Nianzhong came to the Global Shipping Headquarters again, the charter king was obviously not over the joy of fully privatizing Wharf.

"Ah Zhong, I really want to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, the acquisition of Wharf would not have been so easy, nor would it have been at this price. You are the biggest contributor to this acquisition."

This is true. HK$49 billion, this price may not even be as high as the price of Wharf assets.

In fact, the purchase price of less than 40% of the shares from the two parties in the early stage was too low, and Luo Nianzhong's shares dominated the deal.

The chartering king said that he would compensate Luo Nianzhong, but Luo Nianzhong didn't want it. He knew that if that was the case, then Luo Nianzhong was taking advantage of this and owed favor to him.

"Uncle Bao, you will make me proud. We just get what we need, and it doesn't matter who pays more. If that's the case, I relied on your prestige to get such a piece of fat, so I said this It’s better not to mention it again.”

"Hahaha, okay. Let's change the topic and let's talk about something else."

After speaking, the chartered king handed Luo Nianzhong a list of all the assets of Wharf.

Looking at this list, Luo Nianzhong couldn't help but sigh that these veteran British talents are really rich. Not to mention anything else, these high-quality land, if used properly, can allow people to establish a century-old plutocrat.

This is why Luo Nianzhong has no idea of ​​​​entering the residential real estate industry in a big way. If it were another person, he would be embarrassed.

This list was more detailed than what Luo Nianzhong knew. He did not expect that Wharf had shares in some old buildings in Central.

Although the land is not very good, you have to remember that this is Central, and for a long time it has been the place with the highest rent in the world.

Putting down the list in his hand, Luo Nianzhong took a sip of tea and looked at the charter king, "Uncle Bao, just distribute it as we agreed before. I want what I said before, and the rest is yours."

"Are you sure? If this is the case, you will lose a lot."

The Charter King didn't expect Luo Nianzhong to be so calm and straightforward.

"Sure". Luo Nianzhong nodded, indicating that he was sure.

The chartered boat king looked into his eyes. After being silent for a while, he smiled and cursed, "You almost got deceived by me, tell me? How can I help you?"

"Hahaha, otherwise ginger is still hotter than old. I really have something that I need Uncle Bao to put in a good word for me."

"Is it related to HSBC?"

Luo Niazhong was not surprised at all by the charter king's speculation. In today's Hong Kong Island, Luo Nianzhong is not as good as the Charter King because of his connections with HSBC and the Hong Kong government. Although he doesn't have as much money as his opponent, he doesn't lack it, so the rest is power.

If it’s a good word, then it’s HSBC.

The charter king is one of the directors of HSBC and has many friends in HSBC. No matter what he said, HSBC would consider it.

"I heard that Shen Bi is preparing to find a new owner for Hutchison Whampoa?" Luo Nianzhong asked without concealing his intention.

The boat charter king was indeed shaken and stared at Luo Nianzhong without saying a word. He didn't expect that Luo Nianzhong had such a big appetite. He had just swallowed half of the Wharf, and now he was going to have Huangji Whampoa operated on.

"I'm curious, how much money did your Honor Company make for you?"

Through poaching by the media during this period, the whole Hong Kong Island knew that Luo Nianzhong had such a hen that could lay golden eggs, but not much was known about the specific number of eggs this hen could lay.

"Uncle Bao, do you really want to know?" Luo Nianzhong teased.

In response to his slippery attitude, the Charter King stretched out his hand and nodded at him, then waved his hand, "Go away, remember to ask your people to come over and handle the rest."

Luo Nianzhong knew that he had agreed and did not stop. But before leaving, he picked up the jar he had just brewed, and there was not much Wuyishan Dahongpao left.

"As you get older, drink less tea. I'm afraid it will be bad for your health if you can't sleep at night." After saying that, he took the tea and left quickly.

"You brat, don't let me see you."

The tone was very angry, but after Luo Nianzhong left his office, the charter king showed a happy smile on his face.

"Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth!"

Afternoon, Far East Software Company. Because there was still free space here, Luo Nianzhong set the top floor here as a temporary headquarters.

In the conference room, Luo Nianzhong's think tank and the glorious Liang Jiadong were sitting on the left and right.

"Tell me about it? How is our talent reserve? Hasn't the person in charge of personnel been found yet?"

Luo Nianzhong's think tank has many talents in charge of human resources, but the main person in charge has always been vacant. Luo Nianzhong was not very satisfied with the previous ones.

Luo Nianzhong will have many careers, so he is very picky about the person in charge of personnel. What he needs is the kind of talent with top connections.

"I do have one here. The connections this person has are definitely good, and with her help, it is possible to tap anyone. But this person"

Seeing Jason hesitate to speak, Luo Nianzhong was quite curious. He looked at him and motioned for him to continue.

"Her last name is Dupont."

"oh". No wonder, Jason needless to say, this surname represents a lot.

People have connections.

Ability, since Jason recommended this person, there is absolutely no problem.

But there are risks involved. Will she infiltrate members of her own family? Will Luo Nianzhong be betrayed for the benefit of the family? It’s hard to say.

However, such shortcomings do not have much impact on Luo Nianzhong. With his prophetic ability, his career will only expand rapidly. When a business reaches a certain scale, it is not certain who will influence whom.

But all this was just Luo Nianzhong's wild imagination. That was not what Jason wanted to express. Seeing Luo Nianzhong thinking deeply, Jason added, "The other thing is that she likes women."

"What?" Luo Nianzhong suddenly looked up at Jason. "By the way, I'm talking about her, not him."

Seeing Jason nod, Luo Nianzhong understood. This is a powerful person, but it is also a double-edged sword. Being in such a family, but having such behavior shows that this woman is very rebellious and self-aware, and she is probably the kind of woman who finds it difficult to turn back after she commits herself to something.

There are many stories here too

Don't say that foreigners are very open-minded. That's for ordinary people. For some top families, when have you ever heard such a thing?

In her own business, this stubbornness may bring her unimaginable wealth. But as a professional worker, this kind of personality is not liked by many bosses.

After knowing the specific situation, Luo Nianzhong analyzed it in his mind and felt that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. "Well, arrange for me to meet her in the next two days. I want to get to know this person in person."

Jason smiled awkwardly and said, "Boss, you may have to wait a few days. She is giving herself a holiday."

Yes, Luo Nianzhong experienced this for the first time this kind of character that does not change once it is determined.

After ending this topic, Luo Nianzhong looked at Liang Jiadong again, "How is the research on the physical store plan mentioned before?"

With the launch of Honor's second product, Luo Nianzhong began to study terminal sales channels.

He knows that Honor's products will only increase in the future, and he plans to build a physical store that integrates electronics, home appliances, etc.

Liang Jiadong and Robert looked at each other when asked.

"Our initial plan is to open stores in island countries, South Korea, Europe, America and some developed areas in Southeast Asia. The first phase of the plan is to have 100 stores."

"One hundred? Isn't that a little too few?" Luo Nianzhong questioned.

Not only are these stores targeting such a large market, but even a beautiful country is not enough.

"After all, we still have too few products. We need to put other companies' products on the shelves on a large scale in the early stage. In this area, it is difficult for us to gain a cost advantage in the early stage."

Liang Jiadong is right. The ex-factory price of a product does not depend on the number of stores you have, but your overall sales volume. In such a situation, Honor’s price has no advantage.

However, Luo Nianzhong has his plans. Now he is starting to prepare for the physical store. With so many stores, it will take more than half a year, or even longer, after the location selection, decoration, personnel recruitment, etc. are all arranged.

At that time, whether it was a Walkman or a personal computer installed with forms and databases developed by Far East Software, Luo Nianzhong planned to use these two popular products to drive traffic and thereby drive sales of other products.

"In this way, 300 stores will be built in the first phase, divided into three phases, with 300 stores in each phase. Within one year, I want to see all stores open."

"As for the high costs, we can make profits. My initial requirement is not to lose money, not how much money to make."

No one objected too much to Luo Nianzhong's persistence. Robert and Liang Jiadong did some calculations and found that the cost of 100 stores was only about 8000 million US dollars. This was because they chose stores in big cities with good locations, and Luo Nianzhong insisted on buying the store where he was. Otherwise the cost is lower.

Now these 300 stores can be purchased for about US$2 million since the cost in some locations is not very high.
