In the "friendly" negotiation atmosphere, Jin Yuwen readily agreed to cooperate with Comet Capital. As for his precious daughter, since she is not willing to get married for the time being, then let her not get married. Anyway, as long as their family manages the business properly, they can support her for a lifetime!
As for the expansion of the family, they can only count on their son, Kim Hyung-soo, who is still studying. However, this bastard wants to be an actor like his sister and enter the entertainment industry. This is absolutely impossible! If both of them are so idle, who will manage and inherit the huge family business? !
As for that kid, if he doesn't wake up, then as his father he can only give him a good lecture and let him deeply understand which is more important, dream or reality~!
…
After coming out of the Korea Express Logistics Group, Zhang Junfeng smiled and called Kim Tae-hee. Kim Tae-hee, who was busy with an announcement, looked at the caller ID on her phone and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She didn't know whether she should answer the call.
The female assistant at the side looked at Kim Tae Hee's dazed look and tried to remind her, "Tae Hee, why didn't you answer the phone? Is it someone annoying calling?"
Seeing the female assistant coming over to read the caller's message, Kim Tae-hee quickly answered the call, fearing that the other party would see it and cause any misunderstanding.
"I have already visited Chairman Jin Yuwen today and discussed cooperation with him. As for your marriage, I think they will not urge you in the next few years..."
Hearing what Zhang Junfeng said on the phone, Kim Tae-hee felt a warm current in her heart. She didn't expect that such a high-ranking person like Zhang Junfeng would really go to her father to talk for her. It seemed that he was using the name of official business to "use public power for personal gain"! "... Thank you, Junfeng Oppa." Although Kim Tae-hee had a lot to say to Zhang Junfeng, she could only say thank you when the words came to her lips. As for other words, she couldn't say them.
However, this sentence quickly attracted the attention of the female assistant next to her. The fire of gossip soon rose in her smart eyes. Did her sister just call the other party "oppa"? If I remember correctly, Kim Tae-hee only has a younger brother, but no older brother! There is something wrong~!
…
After Kim Tae Hee hung up the phone, the female assistant at the side tried to tease, "Hey, our Tae Hee was very gentle when she called you 'Oppa' just now? Who could make our Tae Hee be like this?"
Realizing that she had been caught, Kim Tae-hee's face froze, and she quickly denied it. If this assistant really knew about her relationship with Zhang Junfeng, and she had to publicize it everywhere, wouldn't that be equivalent to her unilateral "official announcement"?
Let's not talk about the chairman Zhang Junfeng. Just the wife Li Fuzhen is the chairman of the Galaxy Group. In terms of identity and status, even her father Jin Yuwen is far inferior to her. She doesn't want to be found by others and treated as a mistress/vixen!
"...He's an important person, you can't joke with him. If any misunderstanding occurs, even President Lee of SM Entertainment can't save you..." In order to ensure that the female assistant beside her would not do anything stupid, Kim Tae-hee thought for a moment and decided to give her a half-truthful "threat" to remind her.
Hearing Kim Tae-hee's serious words, the female assistant didn't dare to think about it anymore. She nodded repeatedly to show that she understood, and didn't dare to continue asking questions on this topic, for fear of knowing something she shouldn't know and getting herself into trouble.
——————Dividing line——————
A few days later, Zhang Junfeng, Wu Xiuying and several bodyguards, together with delegations from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Investment Bank, took a special plane to the capital of Dragon Kingdom, and then flew to Hong Kong.
Ye Boyang, who had received the news, had also arranged for staff to receive the guests. After all, Zhang Junfeng had previously revealed that in addition to representatives from Morgan Investment Bank, representatives from Goldman Sachs were also coming.
If their negotiations with officials from Hong Kong's official departments go smoothly, the Tianfu Real Estate Company will be able to gain a 10% to 20% profit on the properties and buildings that it had previously acquired at low prices in Hong Kong. You know, they invested tens of billions of RMB in order to acquire a large number of buildings at low prices!
After resting for a night in the imperial capital, Zhang Junfeng and others took a special plane to Hong Kong.
…
Hutchison Whampoa Building, Central, Hong Kong.
The subordinates who received the official internal information respectfully reported to the head of their own group, Li Ka Shing, that Comet Capital, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Investment Bank would soon come to Hong Kong to discuss real estate investment.
A strange look flashed across the face of the usually mature and prudent Li Ka Shing. This news was indeed beyond his expectations! He had been paying attention to the changes in the real estate industry in Hong Kong. He had also asked someone to investigate the Tianfu Real Estate Investment Company before. When he found out that KB Bank and Comet Capital were behind it, he became interested in it.
A few years ago, it was this KB Bank from Korea that snatched a large piece of "fat meat" from them in the European telecommunications market. But at that time he thought that the other party was just lucky and had a fluke, but now it seems that this "dragon from outside" also has some skills~!
…
"Mr. Li, what should we do next? Do we need to say hello to the official staff and ask them to mess up the negotiations?" Seeing that Li Ka Shing had not given any instructions, the subordinates could not help but ask.
"Mess up? If we really do this, I'm afraid Hutchison will soon become the target of public criticism~!" Li Ka Shing shook his head and quickly rejected the proposal.
The current real estate industry continues to be sluggish, and the heads of those former wealthy real estate giants are like eggplants hit by frost. Now if someone can help them to heat up the real estate industry again, they will naturally be more than happy.
If Hutchison Whampoa dares to intervene and obstruct, not only will the authorities sell them out in order to calm public opinion, even their peers will probably come to this old man to ask for an explanation.
Moreover, according to the information from his contacts in the north, the head of Comet Capital is said to hold an important position in CITIC Group. If he rashly breaks up with such a big shot, it will be more trouble than gain!
They, Hutchison Whampoa, are in business, and they believe that harmony brings wealth, so rashly making enemies is certainly not the first choice.
…
"... Mr. Li, what should we do next?" The subordinate said unwillingly. In his opinion, it was not easy to get such important information. If he could not use it, wouldn't it be a waste of effort? After thinking for a moment, Li Jiacheng slowly said, "Wait until they finish the negotiation. Then send an invitation to Comet Capital, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Investment Bank to meet and talk first. If they have the same purpose or interests, it would not be a bad thing to turn hostility into friendship!"
Hearing what Li Jiacheng said, the subordinate nodded in agreement. Sending invitation letters is much easier than other instructions. Anyway, the success of the negotiation depends entirely on the ability of their boss.
…
Similar situations also occurred in other Hong Kong real estate companies, such as Sun Hung Kai, Henderson Land Development, New World, etc. However, the heads of these companies chose a conservative wait-and-see attitude towards this news, waiting for the results of their negotiations with Hong Kong officials.
If it can really boost the real estate industry which has been sluggish for several years, it will be huge good news for them.
These billionaires who made their fortunes in real estate suffered heavy losses due to the real estate crash. Now that they have the opportunity to regain their fortunes, they are naturally very concerned.
However, these cunning "old foxes" are also very smart. Before the official statement is clear, they do not intend to take any action. It is their usual style to sit on the sidelines and watch until the results come out.
…
On the direct flight to Hong Kong, Zhang Junfeng and his companions were reading newspapers and magazines boredly.
Zhang Junfeng was also moved when he saw the large-scale photos and latest album introductions of Jay Chou, Nicholas Tse and others in the fashion magazines. It must be said that the Chinese music scene at that time was still quite good, and most singers were talked about for their singing ability and song style.
Unlike some singers later on who don’t even have a representative work, and their performances on stage are like they are performing shaman dances or rituals, yet they have the nerve to call themselves the “Gods” of the Chinese music scene, which is really laughable~!
…
Just as Zhang Junfeng's thoughts drifted away, Leon John, who was a little bored, started to complain, "It will take at least another hour to reach Xiangjiang. It's really boring~!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Zhang Junfeng raised his lips, and then laughed and teased, "How can you be bored? It's obvious that you are missing someone because they are not around. This is not in line with your personality~!"
Seeing that Zhang Junfeng had directly exposed his little thoughts, Leon John smiled and did not deny it.
Zhang Junfeng was speechless when he saw this. He had been a scumbag for so many years, and now he suddenly became loyal. Could this guy be crazy? "... As a friend, I still want to remind you, don't just think that you like her and she likes you too. Maybe she is after your money, you should know the answer~!" Zhang Junfeng still spoke up to remind him.
Although Leon John was a bit of a scumbag, the cooperation between the two parties had been going on for so long and the cooperation was pretty good. If he was really cheated and ended up losing both his money and his life, he might even need his help to clean up the mess. It was better to say something in advance, which was also considered as fulfilling his duty as a friend.
However, Leon John, who was gradually moving towards love, did not care about Zhang Junfeng's reminder. He agreed verbally but did not take it to heart at all.
…
After a long flight of more than three hours, the plane finally landed smoothly at Hong Kong International Airport. When everyone came out of the airport lobby, KB Bank staff who were waiting there in advance were waiting to pick them up and guided them to sit on the specially dispatched bus and go directly to the Rosewood Hotel in Central.
The next morning, after finishing breakfast, the group quickly gathered in the hotel lobby and then headed to the Government House in Hong Kong. According to the previous agreement, the Deputy Secretary of the Financial Secretary and the Director of the Housing Authority would be present for the talks.
Not long after Zhang Junfeng and his group arrived at the meeting room of the Government House, a group of well-dressed middle-aged men soon arrived.
Yue Binhong, the deputy director, was somewhat surprised when he saw Zhang Junfeng sitting in the first seat opposite him. He originally thought that the other party in this meeting would be mainly representatives from Goldman Sachs or Morgan Investment Bank, but he didn't expect it to be an Asian.
Of course, after reading the delegation's profile, he quickly confirmed Zhang Junfeng's identity. After adjusting his mindset, he quickly got to the point, "Welcome everyone, we have heard your intentions. But before that, I would like to ask you about your views on our Hong Kong real estate industry."
Hearing the other party's tentative question, Zhang Junfeng calmly replied, "Hong Kong's prosperity is obvious to all. Although it experienced the financial crisis in 1997, it did not shake Hong Kong's position in the global financial field and many industries."
"We will choose to invest in Hong Kong's real estate because we are optimistic about Hong Kong's future. Of course, it is not enough to rely solely on the investment of our institutions to leverage the real estate market worth hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars. We also need the Hong Kong government to introduce a series of favorable policies. Only by taking a two-pronged approach can we achieve the best results..."
Hearing what Zhang Junfeng said, Deputy Director Yue Binhong nodded thoughtfully. Although he understood the other party's thoughts, this kind of thing was not something he could easily decide on his own.
After all, it concerns the development of the entire Hong Kong in the next few years or even decades, and it must be approved by Chief Executive Dong. Thinking of this, Yue Binhong subconsciously looked at Sun Mingyang, the director of the Housing Management Bureau, and found that the other party nodded to him imperceptibly, and Yue Binhong also understood.
…
After receiving the other party's reply that the results would be discussed in the near future and informed Zhang Junfeng and others, Zhang Junfeng and others also expressed their gratitude symbolically.
Everyone present is a smart person. The prerequisite for both parties to reach a consensus and cooperate is that the Hong Kong government introduces corresponding favorable policies. Only in this way can the funds they invest in the real estate industry obtain considerable returns in a short period of time.
Otherwise, if they buy a lot of real estate during this period and use up all the available funds but fail to see any returns, it will not be a good thing for these investment institutions! Fortunately, no matter how the situation changes, the initiative is still in their hands, which also reduces the risk to a very low level in disguise. They only need to continue to implement the established plan in an orderly manner.
…
In the following days, Zhang Junfeng and his companions had nothing to do while waiting for news and visiting many characteristic buildings and popular attractions in Hong Kong. However, on the morning of the third day, everyone who was still enjoying breakfast in the hotel received an invitation letter forwarded by the front desk staff.
"I didn't expect that the first person to come up would be this person~!" Zhang Junfeng took a look at the contents of the invitation letter and smiled strangely.
In his impression, among all the Hong Kong tycoons, the one who is in the best situation should be Li Ka Shing, who is in charge of Hutchison Whampoa and Cheung Kong Holdings! Previously, the competition in the European telecommunications industry made Li Ka Shing earn more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars. Moreover, whether it is Hutchison Whampoa or Cheung Kong Holdings, many of their investment projects are either in the north or abroad, and their real estate projects in Hong Kong are less than half the size of other peers, which makes their situation much better than their peers.
