Chapter 399 I am happy to receive free shares
Johor is close to Malacca and there is a road running through it. Huang Henian asked a driver to drive with his second brother Huang Hexin and eldest son Huang Linghui, and they drove for a day to Malacca.
When they arrived in Malacca, they found that the streets were decorated with lights and the roadsides were filled with flowers and colorful flags.
"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?" asked the second brother Huang Hexin.
Huang Linghui got out of the car to ask, and then he learned that Governor Hadi and Mrs. Han were inspecting Malacca for the first time today. Huang Henian said, "I didn't expect that they would come this time. Let's go to the dock to welcome the Governor."
The three of them arrived at the pier.
At this moment the pier is already full of people.
Security soldiers in black uniforms lined up to maintain order. Each of them was tall and strong, with firm eyes, and they looked like well-trained veterans.
It won't take long.
In the distance, there were continuous whistles.
First, a dozen torpedo boats passed by quickly, followed by eight battleships as escorts, and behind them followed a luxury yacht.
Huang Linghui whispered: "This Governor-General is so impressive that he has so many American warships escorting us."
His second uncle Huang Hexin said: "I have asked someone to learn about Governor Hadi in detail. Governor Hadi is said to be worth more than 8 billion US dollars, which is not less than a large bank conglomerate. And this wealth was created by him in just a few years."
"He has also been awarded the title of Baron of the United Kingdom, Governor of the Cayman Islands, and Governor of Penang and Malacca. He will be promoted to hereditary viscount during the knighthood promotion next year."
"He owns the largest television station and newspaper in the United States, and controls the gambling industry in the United States. He single-handedly supported the current US President Johnson to take office and became the president's best friend. It is said that he has a very good relationship with the military and is still a weapons seller and material provider to the United States."
"His HD Security Company is the largest security company in the United States and even in the world. It now has more than 20,000 employees. It is actually his private army. The United States even allows him to own fighter jets and all heavy weapons below the level of warships. Just think about this. Which company in the world can do this?"
"Governor Hadi's armed forces in Penang and Malacca now exceed the British troops and strength here."
"He is also Japan's economic envoy, equivalent to Japan's economic emperor. Even the Japanese prime minister has to be respectful when he sees him. All Japanese companies now have their shares. This was done by Governor Hardy and seven American conglomerates. From this incident, we can analyze the relationship between Governor Hardy and those major conglomerates. With their interests aligned, they must have formed a partnership."
"Hong Kong is now dominated by the Hadi Group. The United States has imposed embargoes on Hong Kong and Macau, but the Hadi Group can import any goods at will without restrictions. The United States says that this is to protect the interests of American companies from loss. The fact that the United States has given the green light shows how powerful Governor Hadi is."
Huang Henian nodded as he listened.
He had already seen this information, so he naturally knew about it. This was also one of the reasons why he came to Malacca, to find someone powerful.
It was the first time Huang Linghui heard of this and he was stunned.
I can only sigh that Governor Hadi is so awesome.
And he started from scratch.
This,
Straightforward.
.......
While the three were chatting, the cruise ship stopped at the port. Hardy led Han Ye-jin off the ship, and the crowd around them immediately cheered.
The first feeling of the three Huang family members when they saw Hardy was,
So young,
Probably around 30 years old.
Yes,
This year, Hadi turns thirty.
Then he looked at Han Ye-jin next to Hardy, who was dignified, gentle, beautiful and generous.
Huang Henian said softly, "If I had a daughter like this, my Huang family would surely prosper and we wouldn't have to live in such fear."
It is still the original process.
Hardy stood on the stage,
He spoke into the microphone.
Everyone is equal in the dominion, the British legal system is implemented to protect private property, more enterprises are established to provide more jobs, the territorial economy is vigorously developed, the territorial security is fully guaranteed, and an open attitude is adopted to welcome investment.
Listening to Hadi's speech, Huang Henian, who originally had a tentative mindset, became more and more determined. He felt that this Governor Hadi was ten thousand times more reliable than those Malayans.
The other party is willing to adopt the Western rule of law system in all its actions, which is actually a kind of guarantee for many ordinary people.
To protect their private property.
After Hadi finished his speech, he and Han Ye-jin got into the car amid the cheers of the crowd. As they passed through the street, people on both sides of the street threw flowers one after another. Even Huang Henian grabbed a handful of petals from a basket next to him and scattered them out.
"Brother, have you made up your mind?" asked the second brother Huang Hexin.
Huang Henian smiled and nodded, "It's decided, second brother. Let's go back and buy a piece of land in Malacca, build a new house, and move our whole family over. As for the plantation and industry, that place is just a place to work and make money."
"We have also moved all our household registrations here and moved our company's registered address to Malacca, which is safer."
"We must also establish a connection with Hardy Company. I think this is probably the best way for our Huang family to preserve the industry."
Huang Hexin nodded, "I agree with big brother's opinion."
The three of them arrived at the Hardy Investment Company in Malacca and were told that all the company staff had gone to meet Mr. Hardy and that business could only be discussed tomorrow and they could make an appointment.
Huang Henian left after making an appointment.
The next day.
The three members of the Huang family came to the company again, and this time they were received by a manager named Paul, one of the senior managers of the investment company. He saw the cooperation instructions left by the Huang family on the appointment form, and learned about the Huang family's situation. He learned that they were a big customer, so he came to receive them in person.
"Hello, Mr. Huang. My name is Paul. I wonder what you want to talk about?" Paul invited the three people to the VIP room and asked enthusiastically.
"We hope to become a cooperative enterprise of Hardy Company." Huang Henian then introduced the Huang family's industry in detail.
He owns plantations, rubber forests, and several factories, with total assets worth approximately four to five million U.S. dollars, which makes him considered wealthy even in the United States.
"I wonder how you plan to cooperate?" Paul asked.
"We will sell part of our shares to the Hadi Group and at the same time get support from the Hadi Group. The amount of shares can be negotiated." Huang Henian is very sincere about this cooperation. Even if it means sacrificing some interests, he is willing to add a layer of protection for himself.
Paul smiled and nodded, "Then we need to conduct a detailed investigation of Mr. Huang's industry and conduct an asset value assessment."
"No problem." Huang Henian agreed immediately.
The investment company sent a team, led by Paul, to the Huang family's industrial park under the escort of security personnel. After checking the company's accounts, land deeds, factory equipment, historical cash flow, etc., they finally gave a reasonable valuation.
3.5 million U.S. dollars.
The Huang family intends to sell 30% of the shares to Hardy Investment Group, and the investment company hopes to get 40%, retaining the Huang family's controlling and management rights.
The Huang family finally agreed.
Hardy Investment Company should pay 1.4 million US dollars to the Huang family, but the accounts are not calculated that way. The Huang family also needs the Hardy Group.
The Huang family needs financial support and technical support, and the most important thing is channels. The Hardy Group has very strong channel capabilities in the United States, Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, Penang and Malacca.
The products produced by the Huang family can be directly integrated into the Hadi Group's ecosystem, so there is no need to worry about sales in the future.
For example, the tobacco they produce can be sold to tobacco factories in Japan and Hong Kong, and the flavors they produce can be supplied to the Japanese, Hong Kong, and European markets, and can enter American chain supermarkets.
The rice and flour produced are directly supplied to the Japanese market, and the rubber raw materials produced can all be consumed within the channel.
In this regard, the Huang family got a great deal, which can be converted into investment value.
There is also the protection of the Hardy Group. Paul smiled and said, "The companies of the Hardy Group, no matter where in the world, are protected by HD Defense. We can pay taxes legally, but we will not accept any other forms of harassment and threats."
After several rounds of consultations.
The final cooperation agreement is.
The Huang family gave 40% of their shares to Hardy Investment Company.
The contribution of the Hardy Group is that in agriculture, you can enjoy the group's technical support, including seeds, planting technology, processing machinery, etc., because the Hardy Group has cooperative relationships with many agricultural companies in the United States.
In terms of funds, they can obtain Wells Fargo loans more quickly under the same conditions. In terms of sales channels, the Huang family can enjoy the omni-channel services provided by the Hardy Group.
On the issue of security protection, the Huang family's enterprises need to pay HD Security US$150,000 in security fees every year, and explain that this money is only paid from shareholding interests outside the Hardy Group.
Oh,
That so-called $1.4 million.
This was offset by the support policies provided by the Hadi Group.
Huang Jia Industry, Huang Henian holds 60% and Huang Hexin holds 40%. The two brothers signed the contract together and stamped their own seals. The agreement was then notarized by the Autonomous Territory Notary Office and the contract officially came into effect.
Huang Linghui looked at his father and second uncle, and remained silent until he asked on his way back to his family.
"Father, second uncle, are we just going to give away 40% of the Huang family's assets to Governor Hardy for nothing, and still ask for 150,000 US dollars in protection fees every year?" Huang Linghui said somewhat indignantly.
If this decision had not been made by his father and uncle together, he would have thought that one of them must have lost his mind.
Huang Henian looked at his son and said in a deep voice: "Linghui, you are still young. Although you have been to school for a few years, there are some things you have not experienced. You should know how complicated the situation in Malaya is now. Although the Huang family has a small fortune, it is just a lonely boat."
"What does it mean to be alone? It means that we may be overturned by the waves at any time. It may not take a big wave, but if one of the sultans comes out to punish the Huang family, we will not be able to bear it."
"The situation is getting more and more critical now. The Huang family must find a backer. I wanted to find the British before, but the British wanted to encircle all the Malays and keep the whole of Malaya, so they chose to sacrifice us Chinese."
"Now that Governor Hadi has appeared, I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. What if I give up 40% of my business? With the channels of the Hadi Group, I can guarantee that the Huang family's business will double in two years. Then the money I paid will be returned."
"In fact, this 40% of the industry is the protection fee, and the annual security fund of 150,000. I was afraid that he would not accept it. If he accepts it, I will be happy to pay it. Only by paying this money can our Huang family's industry be preserved."
Huang Hexin nodded and said, "That's true. Now, 40% of our company is owned by the Hadi Group. If we are made difficult, or if someone wants to seize our industry, it is equivalent to seizing the industry of the Hadi Group. They will take action. In fact, our Huang family has taken a big advantage."
Huang Linghui suddenly realized.
