Huarun Group.
It was established in 1938 in Central, Hong Kong Island.
Its predecessor was the famous "United Bank".
At that time, it was to support the needs of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and at the same time shoulder the mission and task of purchasing and transporting various scarce military supplies.
Due to the large number of purchases involving a wide range of daily life and industrial products, this also laid the foundation for the diversified development of Huarun Group's business.
After the Chinese people stood up, Huarun Group became the general agent for imports and exports to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan by virtue of its geographical advantages and years of trade experience.
China exported food, silk, tea, grain, oil and other products overseas, creating a large amount of foreign exchange and making outstanding contributions.
In later generations, Huarun Group became one of the most mysterious conglomerates in China. Its businesses ranged from beer, beverages and mineral water to finance, energy and real estate, covering all areas of life. Its status was as unattainable as Samsung in South Korea.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Mo Zhexuan and Li Wei arrived at the headquarters building of Huarun Group under the guidance of Li Yulin, president of Hong Kong Xinhua News Agency.
As soon as I parked the car, I found several men in suits standing under the building. Standing in the middle was a tall, middle-aged man with a square face.
"Old Chen! This is Mr. Mo Zhexuan, the chairman of Xiangjiang Group!" Li Yulin acted as a middleman and introduced Mo Zhexuan.
"Mr. Mo! Welcome to Huarun Group!" Chen Fashu said with a smile on his face and stretched out his right hand.
"Mr. Chen! I'm sorry for interrupting you."
Mo Zhexuan shook the other person's hand before letting go, carefully looking at the most powerful chairman in the history of Huarun Group.
Chen Fashu just took the position of chairman of Huarun Group this year. In the following forty years, he developed a single import and export trade enterprise into a diversified group in multiple fields such as medical care, finance, electricity, and real estate. He is a truly outstanding person.
After introducing themselves to each other and exchanging pleasantries for a while, they went to an office on the top floor and talked while drinking tea.
"Mr. Mo! Currently, our Huarun Group's subsidiary, Furuisen Food Co., Ltd., specializes in food exports. We are fully capable of supplying the fresh duck meat you require. However, the vast majority of our exports are from Zhongshan Mallards in Guangdong Province. Please consider whether they meet the quality requirements for fragrant ducks."
Chen Fashu really wanted to achieve this cooperation. After learning the news from Li Yulin, he learned about the relevant situation from the subsidiary company.
"The quality of Zhongshan Mallards is still not guaranteed. Do you export Jingcheng Ducks and Shaoxing Ducks?"
Mo Zhexuan frowned. There was a reason why the fragrant duck was so expensive. The ducks used were all top-notch breeds, and coupled with high-quality ingredients, it was the reason why it was so popular in Hong Kong.
During this period, in order to find a duck of the same quality as the Call duck, the chef constantly compared and matched, and tried a total of Jinding duck, Jianchang duck, Jingcheng duck, Gaoyou duck, Linwu duck, Shaoxing duck, Sansui duck, Putian black duck, etc.
In the end, I found that the quality of Beijing duck and Shaoxing duck is better. The taste of the duck after braising is more unique and delicious, and is comparable to that of Call duck.
"We export a portion of Shaoxing duck, but the export share of Jingcheng duck is very small due to travel and production restrictions."
When Chen Fashu heard the other party mention these two types of ducks, his expression became solemn. These two types of ducks are of higher quality and naturally more difficult to breed. However, he still gritted his teeth and said:
"Mr. Mo! If you need it, we will do everything we can to supply it."
These words were full of sincerity. Mo Zhexuan immediately said that price was not a problem. He then asked his subordinate Li Wei to negotiate with the head of the other subsidiary, Furuisen. The two parties finally signed a long-term cooperation agreement.
At noon, we had a drink at a famous Cantonese restaurant nearby and talked about the development of Huarun Group.
Although Chen Fashu is now the boss of Huarun Group, he is under great pressure. Huarun Company, the predecessor of the group, has just become a group. His mission is to act as a commercial counselor, manage coordination, and provide consulting services; make money, do business, and each subordinate company must be responsible for its own profits and losses.
"Xiaoxuan! Your Uncle Chen is under a lot of pressure right now! How to lead the transformation of Huarun Group, a large enterprise, is a big problem. You are a well-known business tycoon in Hong Kong. I hope you can give me some guidance."
"Uncle Chen, you're welcome! I can only offer a few suggestions. Huarun Group has always been responsible for the import and export of food in mainland China. I think it can continue to develop further and expand into comprehensive consumer products and retail services, such as supermarkets."
Mo Zhexuan knew very well how powerful the Huarun Group would be in the future, so he immediately told the development path of the Huarun Group in its previous life, which was to start with the retail and food industries. This was the other party's core business, and it would definitely be smoother.
"I didn't expect great minds think alike. I'm also planning to enter the supermarket market first. This market has great potential."
Chen Fashu actually already had a direction for development, and his previous inquiry was actually meant to be a test. Who would have thought that a great reputation would require no scholars? He couldn't help but become even more enthusiastic.
Afterwards, the few of them talked a lot and even reached some cooperation on China Gas Company. After all, Huarun Group still has various mines in the mainland. Of course, this is also Mo Zhexuan's layout to prepare for China Gas Company to enter the mainland in the future.
At the same time, he also learned about the movements of Tin Shui Wai Development Co., Ltd. and prepared to intercept Li Jiacheng. Although the cooperation with Guanghu Real Estate was proposed by him, he just couldn't swallow this breath, especially after Cheung Kong Holdings recently took over the land, he felt even more unhappy.
Tin Shui Wai Development Co., Ltd. was established in 1979 by Wah Yung Company, Cheung Kong Holdings, Wheelock and Tai Po Properties. Its purpose was to develop a large area of land in Tin Shui Wai and build a new city that could accommodate a population of 500,000.
However, plans could not keep up with changes. The acquired Liande Trust Company went into court with the Zhao family over equity issues, resulting in the delay of development.
At this time, the Hong Kong government suddenly announced that it would use HK$2.258 billion to reclaim all the land in Tin Shui Wai, and only give 40 hectares of land to Tin Shui Wai Company for development. At the same time, it stipulated a time limit, otherwise a fine would be imposed.
This meant that the new city plan had completely failed, and the shareholders were naturally disheartened. The cunning Li Jiacheng secretly acquired the shares of other shareholders. Although Huarun Group owned 51% of the shares, it had no development experience and could only hand over the development and sales to Cheung Kong Holdings. This naturally made Li Chaoren rich, but now Mo Zhexuan would not let the other party get the shares easily.
