Chapter 115

"You have spent a lot of effort to hold shares in Wheelock's Longfeng International and Asia Shipping Industry. The shipping map is actually very clear. Although it is not obvious now, as time goes by, it will definitely leave other competitors behind. …But this shouldn’t be the end,” she said. “If you want to build an invincible shipping empire, the Kowloon shipping industry is the most important part. Otherwise, no matter how big it is, you will still be working for others.”

Yuan Guodong . Standing at the door, I forgot to open the door for a moment.

He looked at Lin Wei with some surprise. Did she even pay attention to this?

In the past, I saw that her businesses were all light industries and services such as milk tea and clothes. I didn't expect that she also had research on the shipping industry, and she could talk about his pain points in one sentence.

It's a bit exaggerated to say that he works for others, but he was indeed exploited badly.

For a long time, due to the monopoly of Kowloon's shipping industry, ship owners like them have been suffering for a long time.

Lin Wei continued: "Currently, Fu Sheng only holds about 25% of Kowloon Aviation's shareholding. Kowloon Aviation's stock price is only 10 yuan, which is far lower than the market value. With the help of HSBC, it is not impossible to acquire Kowloon Aviation." Possible things. "

These British guys are not good at business and only know how to invest in real estate, but they are greedy and only rent but not sell, which leads to slow return of funds and a financial crisis. They have to sell a large amount of bonds and stocks in exchange for cash, causing serious devaluation of stocks.

In fact, according to the industrial value estimate of Kowloon Aviation, its current market value should be at least 25 yuan, 30 yuan is reasonable, and 40 yuan is not too much.

Compared with ChaLian, which has a seriously overvalued market value, it is simply the other extreme. It shows how important the operator is to a listed company.

Mrs. Eaton may have discovered it, but it will be difficult to reverse the situation in a short time. In addition, the real estate industry will be greatly affected by the thunderstorm next year.

Yuan Guodong shook his head: "It's not that simple. They sold a large amount of stocks, and the total equity is already more than 60 million. If you want to take it, it will cost at least 1 billion."

Although it seems that the market value of the Kowloon industry is less than 700 million, once it unfolds In the takeover war, stock prices are bound to rise multiple times. Yuan Guodong's money is now used to buy ships, and his cash flow is probably not as abundant as Lin Wei's.

Lin Wei said: "Some things are hard to say. Maybe next year you will have the ability?"

Next year, the real estate crashes, and the Kowloon Airlines industry will bear the brunt. The stock is bound to depreciate sharply. If you buy it secretly at that time, you will wait for Fusheng When I reacted, I was afraid there was nothing I could do to save myself.

"If you are not particularly urgent about some projects at hand, it is better to shelve them temporarily and reserve a little more working capital in case of emergencies." Lin Wei looked at Yuan Guodong's puzzled eyes, thought for a while and said, "The mainland projects As you know, it’s hard to say whether it will affect this place. If there is an accident, risk control should be done as early as possible.”

This can only go so far, and it would be strange to say more.

Nowadays, public dissatisfaction is so deep that all it takes is a pretext for anger to be ignited.

By then, the whole of Hong Kong will fall into the Great Depression, and all industries will be affected.

At that time, it would be difficult to carry out capital turnover.

Whoever has the courage and funds to buy the bottom at that time will be the winner.

Yuan Guodong was thoughtful, and he began to think seriously about Lin Wei's words. The Kowloon aviation industry was a heartache for him. If he could really win it, many problems would be solved. He would also be the first Chinese businessman to acquire a British-owned enterprise. Such achievements are bound to cause shock throughout Hong Kong. From all angles, the acquisition of Kowloon Aviation will be of great help to his career.

But it would be very difficult to take action. Buying the boat has already consumed most of his funds and loans, and he is really saddled with high debts. This risk is beyond his tolerance.

Should you listen to Lin Wei's words?

Yuan Guodong was distracted until dinner time and did not entertain the guests much.

"What's going on? What are you thinking about, your soul has flown away?" Fang Jiahui asked after seeing this.

Yuan Guodong calmed down, said it was nothing, and looked at Lin Wei subconsciously.

He found that the other party was surrounded by his daughter and young son. The younger son was holding a colorful milk tea lollipop in his hand and smiling ingratiatingly at the other party, while the younger daughter was chasing after the other party asking questions with a face full of curiosity.

"Is this year's goddess champion really Qin Sixin? The newspaper said that she is your classmate, so she has already been pre-decided. Is it true?"

Lin Wei picked up the shrimps in her hands and asked with a smile: "Is there such a report?"

Yuan Ruxin He nodded heavily: "You say so, can't it be true? Qin Sixin is really the champion?"

Lin Wei smiled and said: "I don't know about this. We haven't reached the finals yet. How can anyone know who the champion is now ?" "

Really?"

Lin Wei put the peeled shrimp in the bowl of the buns and said patiently: "Really, the one we finally selected may not be the best one, but the procedure must be fair. Yes, it doesn't matter if you decide on one now. If your reputation is ruined in the future, the reputation of the goddess will also be ruined. Isn't this killing the goose that takes the egg? You see, Miss Xiangjiang is gone this year, right?"

Yuan Ruxin felt that it made sense, so she nodded and asked again. : "Then if I go to the competition, where can I get?"

Lin Wei choked, looking into the girl's innocent eyes, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"You're almost done!"

Yuan Guodong's brows jumped as he heard that Ru Xin was one year older than Lin Wei. How could the two children be so different?

I didn't think before that this comparison and the difference in vision were more than a little bit different. It was simply a waste of comparison.

Yuan Ruxin was unhappy, but she didn't dare to talk back at this time, mainly because there were guests.

"You can chat about anything, of course." Lin Wei tried to smooth things over.

Lin Wei thought that she should have been similar to Yuan Ruxin in her previous life. A child who grew up in a honeypot was always naive and ignorant and only focused on things she liked.

If it weren't for the change in circumstances, her life trajectory in her previous life would have been similar to that of Yuan Ruxin. She was raised by her parents when she was a child, married a capable man when she got older, was raised by her husband, and lived her whole life without worries about food and clothing. It cannot be said that such a life is a failure. Yes, that is indeed very happy. You can only do what you want to do throughout your life without any worries.

But the only thing is that there is no ability to resist risks. Once the person who "raises" has an accident or chooses to "abandon" the pet, he will become a stray pet on the street, with no ability to survive and nowhere to rely on.

A wealthy family with a family trust fund can live and die, but even so, who can guarantee that this "job" will be reliable? The country will go bankrupt, what is 100% reliable?

She remembered that Yuan Ruxin finally married a lawyer, and her husband later took over half of Yuan Guodong's business. Although his career was not as good as that of the shipping king, it was more than enough, and he had no worries about food and clothing throughout his life.

I have to say that compared to Lin Wei's "unlucky" life in her previous life, Yuan Ruxin had another smooth and perfect life.

But Yuan Guodong's other daughter was not so lucky.

That is, the one who finally married Fu Wenfan.

The eldest daughter was married and settled abroad at this time. After her first husband passed away due to illness, she returned to China with her daughter. Because she and Fu Wenfan's family were neighbors, the two got to know each other quickly and eventually got married.

It is said that the marriage was very happy, and the two later had a son, but fate did not seem to favor her very much, because they went to the temple to offer incense and were caught in a fire, and neither mother nor son could escape.

Fu Wenfan lost his wife and son this time, and suffered a major setback in his life. He never remarried and was alone for half his life. He also devoted himself to raising the daughter of his wife and her ex-husband.

Fu Wenfan's stepdaughter is called Fu Peiman, and Lin Wei is more familiar with this person. Although Yuan Guodong's two daughters are not interested in business, this granddaughter is a business wizard. She does not focus on maintaining success, but opening up new territories. The focus turned to emerging industries other than real estate and finance, such as the Internet, electrical appliances, semiconductors, etc. There were occasional failures, but the overall results were good.

But Fu Peiman has never stopped being questioned. She thinks that with such a large family business, she can become a fool, and she always compares herself with big men who have made their fortune from scratch.

Lin Wei still remembers that the media commented on Fu Wenfan's stepdaughter at that time, saying that Yuan Guodong had no son, so the family property fell into the hands of two sons-in-law. Fu Wenfan's biological son died, so the family property was given to his stepdaughter, Fu Peiman. She was just lucky, otherwise such a huge family fortune would never have been in her reach.

Lin Wei glanced at the little bun who was kicking next to him. Now that the Ship King has a son, no one will say that again in this life.

I just don’t know if the gears of fate will turn around.

In fact, in Lin Wei's opinion, Fu Peiman's achievements are already very remarkable. After being in this circle for a long time and seeing a lot, she understands that it is not easy to maintain success. If you don't make progress, you will go backwards, not to mention someone like her who once lost everything. Bankrupt.

In his later years, Fu Wenfan has been eating real estate capital, plus some electricity and other people's livelihood industries. He has made more than 10 billion in revenue a year by collecting rents, but he is going downhill. After all, the new era and new wave are all changing. The industry is developing rapidly and new people are emerging in large numbers. Although he still holds the title of the richest man in Hong Kong, his world ranking has dropped again and again, and he is no longer destined to be the richest man in China, having dominated the list for more than ten years.

But this has nothing to do with her, they are better than her whether they lie flat or salted fish.

Lin Wei's career left too many regrets and the game was over. At her age, most people may be thinking about taking care of themselves and spending their old age in peace, but she just feels unwilling to do so, loves to toss, and always thinks that she can go further. , so when she was about to die, she felt unwilling to think about her career that was half-finished and collapsed in the middle.

I don’t know if it was because she was too resentful that she started the program again.

Overall, the Yuan family's trip was worth it. Regardless of whether they could borrow money or not, they had established a relationship with HSBC. If it didn't work this time, there would be another time. This is the so-called connection power. High-quality connections are financial connections. No wonder Mr. He insisted on her establishing a relationship with Yuan Guodong.

In fact, Yuan Guodong did not expect that she would lend him money as soon as he met her. It was rare for him to meet such a person who was particularly good at seizing opportunities. It was not difficult to establish a relationship. What was difficult was that he could impress the other person in the first meeting, and he would naturally be eager for quick success and instant benefits. , there is no step-by-step process.

Perhaps this is the basic principle for businessmen to act.

As long as you put your interests on the table, you don't need to care if it's the first time you meet.

...

After returning home, something bothered Lin Wei.

Recently, Fu Wenfan often came to see her. He didn't directly say it was a date, but took Lin Wei to some places.

For example, going to see some traditional textile techniques, introducing her to a skilled embroiderer, or even taking her to visit his toy factory were invitations that she really didn't want to refuse.

Fu Wenfan is Yuan Guodong's future son-in-law, so Lin Wei felt strange when faced with Fu Wenfan's "pursuit".

It's very comfortable to get along with someone like Fu Wenfan. He won't say anything to make you feel uncomfortable. Everything is just right, neither too intimate nor alienating. To describe it in one word, it's ironing.

Lin Wei only felt this way when she was getting along with Song Ye before. She didn't feel it before and thought she was familiar with Song Ye. Now she found out that they had high emotional intelligence and only said what she liked to hear.

I feel very good every time I'm with Song Ye, probably for this reason, and even studying isn't so boring.

"What are you thinking about?"

Lin Wei calmed down and looked at Fu Wenfan, who had returned from getting food. They were now at Fu Wenfan's toy factory, and he took her to the canteen.

She smiled and said, "I just suddenly remembered that I haven't been to my friend's toy factory yet." She

had never been to Song Ye's toy factory even once. She obviously still had 10% of the shares, but she seemed to be related to her. She has no connections.

However, she heard that after the last Rubik's Cube Competition, the toy factory's order volume soared, and it even had to work overtime. The brand influence was completely opened up in the port city through the Rubik's Cube, and with export orders, the benefits should be considerable.

"That Mr. Song?" Fu Wenfan sighed with a smile, "I have seen in you what it means to be truly formidable. Huaqiang's momentum is very rapid. All the surrounding toy factories, large and small, have been affected, and they have also robbed a lot of me. customer."

Lin Wei shut up immediately, realizing that she had stirred up a very bad topic.

This is a sign of low emotional intelligence. You forget some taboos while talking.

"The shopping mall is like a battlefield. Chen Li will stand in line. If he can't, he will stop. Mr. Fu needs to practice more." Shi Jingchen's emotionless voice sounded.

I don't know if he has a grudge about what happened last time, but if Shi Jingchen is fine, he will also join their "date".

Because when Fu Wenfan came here, she spent a lot of time making up lessons with Shi Jingchen.

Lin Wei picked up her chopsticks and started eating as if nothing had happened.

She found that the man became strange and angry, which was also very eye-opening.

Fu Wenfan smiled good-naturedly and said: "Professor Shi is right, there is no backward and forward learning, and the master is the teacher. I have always wanted to learn from Miss Lin and Mr. Song. Our businessmen are different from other industries. As long as we can make achievements, As long as you are worthy of a "teacher", there will be no such thing as a fishy person."

This is not a big problem, but as a teacher, Shi Jingchen is very sensitive to this. What does "a fishy person like a fishy person" mean? It's hard to tell if the other person isn't being arrogant.

Shi Jingchen was naturally very angry, but he had to maintain a decent upbringing and couldn't get angry directly, so he held back his anger and looked for opportunities to fight back.

Then the two of them went back and forth, arguing, and Shi Jingchen was so angry that he left the table angrily.

For a character like Shi Jingchen, Fu Wenfan was very capable of making the other party angry.

Lin Wei told Song Ye this when she got back.

She talked to Song Ye about almost everything, and she would share anything she found interesting.

Most of the time, he knows what you are thinking without saying too much, what he says is what she likes to hear, and he can also give her advice, which is nothing more than a best friend.

Unlike Wu Ming -

he always fights with her and has no emotional value at all.

"Didn't you mediate from it?" Song Ye grabbed the cloud cake, with residue on the corner of his mouth, and his expression was a bit cute.

Lin Wei shook her head, and then said confidently: "It is not for women to interfere in men's affairs."

Song Ye: "..."

Then he lowered his head and smiled, his shoulders trembling slightly, his curled eyelashes rising and falling, and the light illuminated his face. Covered with a layer of soft light, the beauty's every frown and smile are charming and breathtaking.

Lin Wei held her chin and looked at the beautiful young man who was amused by her with a sense of accomplishment.

She didn't mean it, she just wanted to tell him a joke.

For a beauty like Song Ye, she couldn't help but want to make him happy.

"You said that if a person has a crush on you but doesn't confess to you, how should he refuse politely and calmly?" Lin Wei suddenly asked.

Song Ye's expression paused, and his curled eyelashes covered the emotions in his eyes.

He was silent for a long time, and then asked in a calm voice: "Why do you think he didn't confess?" "

Why?"

Song Ye put the pastry back into the box, and the light shone on his elegant and handsome face. His eyelids were thin and his expression was very light. : "You didn't give him enough feedback. He knew that he would be rejected with a high probability. In this case, he would naturally not be able to confess and would only find excuses to continue to get closer."

If you don't confess, there is still hope. If you confess, you will lose the excuse to get closer. .
