When Li Jiancheng heard Chen Xia mention the Tianjin incident again, he knew that the debt collection drama was about to begin.
"Mr. Chen, I wonder how you can make up for the shock you received? If it's not too much, Uncle Li is willing to give you a red envelope for the New Year so that you can have a happy Spring Festival.
Uncle Li is old now, and his biggest wish now is to have a happy New Year, with his family reunited and his children and grandchildren around. The fighting and killing outside is not suitable for an old man like me.
Chen Xia quickly helped add water:
"I think Uncle Li is right. Money is just a secondary thing. As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy. It would be scary if everyone ended up like the Zhou family, right, Uncle Li?"
Okay, what I want is for you, the old man with glasses, to surrender!
If neither the Hong Kong British government nor the mainland would allow it, Chen Xia would have taken action long ago and forced their family to celebrate the New Year underground with Zhou Yutong's family!
Now Li Jiancheng is the "white glove" selected by the British Hong Kong government with great difficulty. In the eyes of the mainland, Li Jiancheng is also a well-known "patriotic Hong Kong businessman" and his fox tail is far from being exposed.
Both sides need him. He is his amulet. If Chen Xia dares to take action, he will have no place to stand in Sino-British Port in the future.
Li Jiancheng looked calm on the surface, but he was actually very panicked inside. Those who dared to kill an entire family these days were really not human beings!
"I like what Mr. Chen said. I wonder what kind of red envelope you would like for the New Year?"
"Uncle Li, you know that Longfeng Pharmacy is now in my hands, and I don't just want to sell medicine. I can make a lot of money selling medicine, right? I also want to sell cosmetics, health products, perfumes and beauty products, etc.
Then we can set up a drugstore and develop together. After all, we have already opened a store. Diversifying our business can make up for the loss and supplement our family expenses."
Li Jiancheng took a sip of tea, as if he had just remembered something.
"What a coincidence! I happen to own a retail chain called 'Qu Chen Shi'. We've opened over 1,000 stores in Hong Kong, mainland China, and Southeast Asia. The profit isn't very high, though. If Mr. Chen is interested, Uncle Li can give it to you as a Chinese New Year red envelope!"
Chen Xia was also delighted:
"'Qu Chenshi', ah, how can I say this? Uncle Li, you are so generous, it would be disrespectful for me to refuse. Haha, but I heard that Uncle Li's family also has a ParknShop supermarket and Fortress Electric Appliances..."
"If Mr. Chen is interested, Uncle Li can give them all to you, so that you can become a retail tycoon soon, hehe."
Li Jiancheng had a smile on his face, but he was cursing in his heart, "MD, so greedy!"
As one of the Li family’s five major industries, the retail industry actually accounts for a large proportion.
There are not only "Qu Chenshi", but also supermarkets and electrical appliance stores, which contribute a lot of profits every year. Chen Xia is ready to take it all away!
Don’t underestimate these retail businesses. They are complementary to the products of Chen Xianei’s “Yuezhou Department Store”. One is a manufacturer and the other is a distributor.
Chen Xia has mastered the channels and will use Hong Kong as his headquarters to take the lead in making arrangements before a large amount of capital from the mainland emerges.
By then, Four Seasons Group will become the largest chain of drug stores, cosmetics stores, supermarkets, and electrical appliance stores in mainland China and Hong Kong. The value will be very considerable.
In addition, it is also the largest jewelry store, cinema chain, small commodity wholesale market, light textile and clothing market, etc.
Yes, Chen Xia wants to be a channel and become the largest channel operator. When the era when channels are king comes, he will be able to control these industries.
All that’s missing is an Internet store channel, which means we can control the entire industry chain. Then, won’t money flow in like water?
Is Li Jiancheng heartbroken? Of course he is. These retail stores bring him a lot of profit every year.
The key point is that most of these shops are self-owned properties. If they are now given to the Chen family, the property alone will cause heavy losses to the "Yangtze River Group".
But for the sake of saving money and having a peaceful and happy New Year, just treat it as feeding the dog.
Li Jiancheng cursed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, how are you? Are you in a good mood now? Can you have a good New Year?"
Chen Xia's face, which had just been smiling, immediately became cloudy again:
"Uncle Li, I have another concern. I have two companies in mainland China, and we export a lot of goods to Europe and the United States every year. You know that Hong Kong is the largest export transit point in mainland China.
As a result, after my goods were shipped thousands of miles to the Hong Kong port, they were always required to queue up to leave the port. Sometimes the wait time was ten days or even half a month. This seriously affected my business and reputation, and caused me heavy losses!
Li Jiancheng raised his eyebrows and had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Mr. Chen, you're joking. This is the easiest thing to resolve. When the time comes, my Pier 6 will definitely prioritize ensuring that Four Seasons Group's cargo is shipped out first. Oh no, we'll ensure it's shipped out as soon as it arrives, with no delays."
In the 1990s, Hong Kong had a total of 18 large and small docks, but only six of them were capable of assembling large container ships, each controlled by a different consortium.
In fact, Pier 6 controlled by the Li family is the largest in Hong Kong, and its annual cargo throughput ranks first in Hong Kong.
This is an absolute treasure trove.
Moreover, Chen Xia knew that with the rapid development of the mainland economy, especially the rapid rise of the manufacturing industry in the Pearl River Delta, more and more goods would be transited through Hong Kong, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he would make a fortune every day in the future.
This is a big piece of fat meat, and Chen Xia wants to eat it.
With the wharf in hand, his own goods can be shipped out of the port easily and will not be easily lost to others.
How could a business genius like Li Jiancheng not know the importance of the docks? How could he not see the future of the docks in the future economy?
