Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 3: Planning for Hong Kong ()

Although Phoenix Financial already has a certain influence in Hong Kong, Lu Shaohua does not think that a little bit of influence is enough. He thinks it should have more influence, and to expand the influence, it is nothing more than to expose some news that will make people take a deep breath. In addition to expanding the influence, people should also think that the boss behind the company is a very powerful and mysterious person, so as to guard against some small people who come to cause trouble.

"Haha! There is only one reason for holding this press conference, and that is to expand the company's influence in Hong Kong. Mingzhang, what do you think we should do?" Lu Shaohua did not tell the content of the press conference, but asked back.

As the general manager of the company, it is time for Liu Mingzhang to use his brain and exercise some skills. Lu Shaohua himself only grasps the general direction of the company's development, and some minor matters still need to be handled by him as the general manager.

Liu Mingzhang thought for a moment before saying, "I think our company's influence in Hong Kong is already quite good. If we want to expand it further, we have to disclose the capital increase to the outside world."

Lu Shaohua laughed. Liu Mingzhang's answer satisfied Lu Shaohua. His own plan was the same. The purpose of holding a press conference was to announce the increase in capital, and the increase would be a figure that would make people take a deep breath.

As long as the amount is shocking, then it is conceivable that when people outside hear this news, their first reaction is definitely that the company's background is very strong and the boss behind the scenes is very rich. As for how rich the boss behind the scenes is, it is up to others to guess. The more speculation there is, the more mysterious Phoenix Financial will be. "How about this, you hold a press conference the day after tomorrow and say that our boss has invested 20 billion US dollars in the company."

Yes, it is 20 billion US dollars. What does that number mean? Is it a lot or a little?

Don't forget, this is 1990. Although Hong Kong's economy was quite developed at that time, 20 billion US dollars was definitely a scary number, a shocking number, a number that made people gasp. But this number was just a drizzle to Lu Shaohua. If he was not afraid of irritating other people, Lu Shaohua could have spent 100 billion or even 1000 billion.

At the end, Lu Shaohua did not give Liu Mingzhang time to speak, and continued, "At the press conference, you must remain calm and don't let anything slip. I believe some people with keen sense will associate your trip abroad with the stock market crash."

"Okay, I understand." Liu Mingzhang said seriously.

At this time, Liu Mingzhang once again admired Lu Shaohua in his heart. If Lu Shaohua said that he announced his overseas inspection last year, but a few months later, the stock market crash broke out in Japan, smart people would definitely associate his overseas inspection with the stock market crash. None of the reporters in Hong Kong are easy to deal with. If Lu Shaohua didn't remind them now, they might really be afraid of letting the cat out of the bag.

"Haha! You can do it. You've dealt with reporters so many times before. Just stay calm and everything will be fine." Lu Shaohua smiled calmly, a little sarcastic about Liu Mingzhang, but it was just a remark. There was still something else to say. "There is one more thing that must be revealed at the press conference. That is, our company is going to diversify. You can reveal in advance that we will enter the real estate industry. As for the investment amount, don't tell anyone. Leave it as a suspense for others to guess."

"Okay, just to reveal that we are entering the real estate industry, how about asking Mr. He and the other two to go and let the reporters meet them?" Liu Mingzhang's idea was simple. Since the company was going to enter the real estate industry, the person in charge of the real estate industry should also show up. What would be reasonable?

"There's no need for that. It's better to keep it secret." Lu Shaohua said in an unfathomable manner. This kind of thing will naturally be known to the outside world after the company is established. Now it's better to keep it secret as much as possible.

This time Liu Mingzhang did not speak, but just nodded to show that he understood.

"Well! There's nothing else to do. Mr. He and Mr. Lin, you two should go and budget the company's start-up capital and prepare some necessary things for the company. As for the office location, just squeeze in with the financial company for now, and then move there together after your own building is completed." After saying that, Lu Shaohua glanced at Liu Mingzhang. The meaning was very clear. He wanted Liu Mingzhang to make room on the second floor of the building they were renting for He Chengyi and the others to use first. Anyway, the company was in its early stages of establishment and did not need too many employees.

"That's no problem. I'll call and have someone arrange it later." Liu Mingzhang said knowingly.

"That's it, let's go and make a budget first and get the data before tomorrow night." He Chengyi stood up and said.

The matter was discussed and Lu Shaohua had just ordered everyone to leave. He Chengyi thought it was time to get ready.

Seeing He Chengyi stand up, Lin Qiquan also stood up. Lu Shaohua didn't say anything, but just nodded lightly as a farewell to them.

……

He Chengyi and Lin Qiquan walked out of the door, looked at each other, and exhaled at the same time. They could see the shock in each other's hearts. At the same time, they also understood the meaning of Lu Shaohua's words in the car, "Funds are no problem, I will give you as much as you want."

Are you kidding? A person who offers to invest 20 billion US dollars right away will definitely not be unable to provide the start-up capital for a real estate company, because the start-up capital does not require that much. If the down payment can be million US dollars for the two of them, it will be enough for their current efforts.

Think about it, when Lu Shaohua mentioned 20 billion US dollars just now, He Chengyi and Lin Qiquan both noticed Lu Shaohua's expression, and he said it as if it was very easy. From this, they both secretly guessed that 20 billion US dollars was just a drizzle, a drop in the bucket for Lu Shaohua.

Although they knew that Lu Shaohua had created a wave of real estate in Japan, they all knew that they did not make much money. They acquired land worth more than 15 billion yuan, but owed more than 130 or 140 million yuan in debt! So Lu Shaohua's move puzzled the two of them. How much money did Lu Shaohua make in Japan?

As it turned out, this question of theirs was destined to remain unanswered, because they did not understand the stock market and had no idea how much capital Lu Shaohua would gain by investing the money in the stock market.

……

Not to mention that He Chengyi and Lin Qiquan left the villa with doubts. After they left, Lu Shaohua patted the sofa next to him and said solemnly, "Come closer, I have another important thing for you to do."

Seeing that Lu Shaohua's expression had never been more serious and solemn, Liu Mingzhang knew that this matter was no ordinary matter, so he obediently moved his butt and sat down next to Lu Shaohua.
