The Industrial Giant Reborn

"Actually, I have another piece of news. A Hutchison port project in Indonesia has been suspended for nearly a year, and the Indonesian local government is ready to take back the port." Chen Zhiwen continued.

"In that case, wouldn't all Hutchison's investment there be included?" Zhou Jiayang said in surprise.

"Yes, it is estimated that about 200 million Hong Kong dollars has been invested in this project. If this news comes out, what will happen to the stock market?" Chen Zhiwen asked with a smile.

"It's definitely a bloodbath. It's terrible. During this period of time, Hutchison's stock price has been stable. Maybe 50% of it is due to our continuous acquisitions. But this kind of news will definitely make all shareholders and stockholders panic, fearing that Hutchison will go bankrupt." Zhou Jiayang replied without the slightest hesitation.

"That's our window. You bought 15% before. Basically, a lot of liquid stocks on the market have been bought. But as soon as the news comes out, many people will immediately sell their stocks. We will take the opportunity to buy again. It's not easy to be noticed." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.

"Chen Sheng is right, but I am worried that such a major blow will directly make Hutchison Bank go bankrupt, and if we do this, our losses will be even greater?" Zhou Jiayang worried.

Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said: "A big company like Hutchison is not so easy to go bankrupt. No government will really allow such a big company to go bankrupt. It will be too destructive to the economy. Besides, this news will be overwhelmed sooner or later. Might as well let us take advantage of it."

"That's true." Zhou Jiayang nodded and said.

Chen Zhiwen went on to say, "Then when will you make a move?"

"About half a month later." Zhou Jiayang said, "It will take me a while to depress Hutchison stocks and register more leather wallet accounts. If so many accounts continue to be acquired before, it will be easy to reveal my secrets."

Accounts for purchasing stocks during the dark period cannot be purchased for a long time or in large quantities, which is likely to increase the possibility of being discovered. The accounts for previous purchases and records are also frequently changed, and new accounts are constantly being registered, but now suddenly there is a short period of time. If there is news of internally depressing the stock price, more accounts are needed to ensure the demand for future acquisitions.

"Okay, I just want to go to the United States, and it's almost time when I come back." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

"America? Because of the recently established Berkshire Hathaway textile factory?" Zhou Jiayang asked.

As the person in charge of the Hong Kong department responsible for the investment of Chen Zhiwen's idle funds, he naturally knew that at the beginning of the year, the boss and an American company jointly opened a textile factory. Buy real estate.

"It's just a small matter. It's enough for someone to look after the finances. I don't bother with other things." Chen Zhiwen waved his hand and said with a smile: "If the thing to go to the United States is successful, this textile factory will be very meaningful. "

Three days later, Queen Street, New York City:

"Chen Sheng, the bar in front is the one with the best business in the neighborhood. Their boss asked us to buy three Snake arcade machines." Cheng Weibin, who is in charge of arcade machine sales in New York City, turned to his boss. Introduced.

"What price did he pay for it?" Chen Zhiwen asked as he walked, with a small group of assistants and bodyguards following them.

"One set costs US$3,500 without discount, and the total price is US$10,500." Cheng Weibin said.

"3500 US dollars? He took the loan from Citigroup?" Chen Zhiwen asked casually again.

"No, there were only 300 arcade machines in the first batch to come to the United States at that time, and many bars wanted them. In addition to the high price, giving cash is also an advantage. It will take some time for Citibank to lend money." Cheng Wei Bin replied.

"Oh, are American bar owners still very rich?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile. In this day and age, $10,000 is a lot of money even in the United States. The average person in the United States may earn a lot of money a year. With less than this amount of money, there are even fewer who can save up to 10,000 US dollars.

"As long as our arcade machines can earn enough profits for them, they will spend any amount of money." Cheng Weibin said with a smile.

A few people quickly walked to the entrance of the bar. A black security guard was checking the ID card at the door. Those who were obviously very old were let go, and those who seemed to be under the legal age had to be intercepted to check the ID card.

Chen Zhiwen and An Qi were intercepted. Asians generally looked younger. After they took out their passports, the security guards let them through.

"In the United States, what is the minimum age to enter a bar?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"The laws of each state are different. Most of them are 21 years old, and a few are 18 years old. There are also some regulations in the middle." Cheng Weibin replied.

"This is a bit old." Chen Zhiwen said with a frown.

Although teenagers generally don't have much money, they are actually the most solid customer group in the game industry. It's just that arcade machines have just come out, and even adults can't resist this temptation. The ability to resist, this group will not be long-term customers after all.

But this is a problem for the future. Now that the production capacity is not as good as the sales volume, there is no need to consider new markets.

"Ted." Cheng Weibin greeted a bald man.

"Hi, cheng." Ted saw Cheng Wei Bin, greeted the people around him, and walked over. After seeing Chen Zhiwen and a group of people, he said, "Is this your friend?"

"Yes, they are my friends from Hong Kong, I brought them to the bar to have fun." Cheng Weibin laughed.

"OK, have fun, I'll give you a 20% discount tonight." Ted said with a smile.

"20% off? This discount is too rare for you, we treat us so well? Win the lottery?" Cheng Weibin said with a smile.

"Lottery tickets are boring, they are all fake and manipulated." Ted said disdainfully: "Cheng, look, your game consoles are very popular, when will there be other machines, how many more do I want? "

Following Ted's direction, Chen Zhiwen, An Qi and the others also saw a group of people not far away gathered in front of several game consoles, occasionally mixed with some shouting.

"Isn't three enough? If there are too many, can you make back your money?" Chen Zhiwen asked suddenly. Although eating snakes is very interesting in this era, a place with a constant flow of people and too many game consoles will inevitably happen. loss.

"It's not my bar, but a friend of mine. He also opened a bar in Brooklyn. He came to my place a few days ago. He saw your game console and wanted to buy one." Ted said in a rough voice, there is no way, the surrounding voices are getting louder and louder.

Cheng Weibin glanced at Chen Zhiwen, and then shouted at Ted: "This depends on the plan of Hong Kong. I will contact you next time when there are new products."

"OK, my friend also wants 3 sets, but it's not convenient for him to trade in cash, and he will need to go to the bank for a loan at that time, no problem?" Ted also said loudly.

"No problem." Cheng Weibin said after gesturing OK.

"OK, have a good time." Ted smiled and left.

Several people found a place close to the game console, and Chen Zhiwen said to An Qi: "An Qi, look at how many people play in an hour, and write it down."
