Huo Yingdong shook his head helplessly and said: "You kid, every time you come here, you always bring something. Next time I go to your place, I will have to bring something too."
"Hahaha!"
"Uncle Huo, you bring things with you when you visit me, it really embarrasses me."
Huo Yingdong just shook his head and introduced: "Ayi, these two are Director Ma and Deputy Director Guo sent from the mainland."
"They are all old acquaintances. Moreover, they were specially sent to Hong Kong this time."
Bao Junyi looked at the two of them, and curiously extended his hand, "You two, why did the higher-ups send you here this time? What are you mainly doing here?"
"After all, it's very rare for something that even Uncle Huo can't handle."
Director Ma stepped forward and said, "To be honest, Bao Sheng, the mainland is in urgent need of purchasing a batch of advanced equipment."
"However, we are currently short of foreign exchange and don't have that much money. That's why our superiors asked us to come to Hong Kong to raise money."
Bao Junyi asked curiously, "Director Ma, how much money are you raising this time?"
"Six billion...US dollars!"
"Six billion dollars?"
Bao Junyi was surprised for a moment, then nodded and said, "If it's this amount, there really aren't many people in Hong Kong who can come up with it all at once."
Director Ma said with a worried look on his face: "Yes, we also know the difficulty of handling such a huge amount of money."
"Moreover, Mr. Huo said that in Hong Kong right now, perhaps only you can afford Bao Sheng, so it's no exaggeration to say that you are the richest man in Hong Kong."
Bao Junyi smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I can get it all at once."
"And the money will be available within 24 hours."
"hiss!"
After being shocked, Ho Ying-tung jokingly said, "Ayi, everyone said you made a fortune at the Paris Air Show. I didn't expect it to be true."
"Now, you can easily come up with $6 billion anytime. How much did you make from the Paris Air Show?"
Bao Junyi touched his nose and smiled, saying, "Not much, just over 26 billion US dollars."
"How many?!"
"26 billion, or in US dollars?"
Everyone at the scene was shocked, their mouths wide open, standing there in disbelief.
Huo Yingdong envied: "Is it true that arms are so profitable?"
"You earned more money in half my lifetime just by signing an order at the Paris Air Show."
Deputy Director Guo next to him was surprised and said, "Yes, we can't even imagine it."
"Moreover, a single arms order is several times more than China's annual foreign exchange revenue."
"Mr. Bao, you are indeed worthy of being the richest man in Hong Kong. Even the richest man in East Asia is not an exaggeration."
Bao Junyi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's all just empty reputation. How much money have you raised this time? So, how do you plan to repay it?"
"Moreover, this amount of money is not a small sum for Hua Xia. Moreover, with the current shortage of foreign exchange in the mainland, it will be impossible to repay it for a long time."
Director Ma said awkwardly, "We plan to issue long-term government bonds to Hong Kong. Furthermore, we intend to issue ultra-long-term bonds, typically with a maturity of 10-20 years."
"boom!"
Ho Ying-tung was shocked. He did not expect that the mainland would choose this method. However, Hong Kong had not yet returned, so it was basically impossible to raise much funds.
He looked at Bao Junyi. After all, the risk of making this money in the mainland was very high now.
Bao Junyi looked around and said, "I have a way to get these 6 billion US dollars for free, and there may even be some left over."
"I just don't know if the mainland's top leaders are willing to do so."
Director Ma had a worried look on his face and asked curiously, "Mr. Bao, tell me first."
"After all, our rights are limited, but we will report Hong Kong's opinions to the higher authorities based on the circumstances."
Bao Junyi nodded and said, "I discovered a mineral in the mainland that I think is very promising. I plan to invest and build a factory there."
"Moreover, the total investment exceeds 10 billion US dollars."
Everyone present was shocked. Director Ma couldn't speak clearly, "1...10 billion, or US dollars?"
"Mr. Bao, you...you are not kidding, right?"
Bao Junyi smiled and said, "Do I look like someone who's joking?"
"Besides, the funds you need to raise may be obtained from this project."
Director Ma said seriously, "Mr. Bao, what kind of mineral is it?"
“If it’s an important resource, there’s no way we’re selling it.”
"Actually, Director Ma, you don't have to worry."
"After all, this type of mineral is relatively rare in mainland China, so its application may not be well understood. However, it has a wide range of uses internationally."
"That's—rare earth!"
Director Ma asked doubtfully, "Rare earth?"
"Why haven't we heard of it? What is its purpose?"
Bao Junyi smiled and said, "It's used in semiconductors, electronic ceramics, and to improve the properties of rare steels. Most of it is used in the electronics and military fields."
"Since our Miracle Group's automotive, chip, military, and shipbuilding industries all require large quantities of rare earths, I am considering investing heavily in rare earth mines in mainland China."
"In addition, I plan to invest $10 billion, of which $6 billion can be used for the lease rights of several major mining areas, and the rest will be used to purchase equipment and personnel expenses."
"hiss!"
Several people at the scene gasped, all shocked by Bao Junyi's generosity.
Director Ma excitedly asked, "Mr. Bao, is what you just said true?"
"Of this, $6 billion was handed over to the mainland for mining rights leasing?"
Bao Junyi nodded, looked in the direction of Huo Yingdong, and said, "That's right."
"Also, I plan to allow all the wealthy people in Hong Kong to participate in this investment and then form a joint venture."
“However, we need to have independent controlling stakes, as we did before.”
Director Ma smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Bao, my authority is limited. I will report your proposed conditions."
"At the same time, do you have any other requests?"
Bao Junyi shook his head and said, "No more."
Huo Yingdong, who was standing next to him, was surprised and said, "Ayi, are you planning to involve some wealthy Hong Kong people in this investment?"
"Yes, Uncle Huo, this investment may involve too many things in the future, so I'm considering investing together and making money together."
"After all, the scale of this investment is large, so let's get everyone involved."
Huo Yingdong nodded and said, "Then what are your plans for the future?"
"Uncle Huo, I hope you can invite everyone to have tea at the Peninsula Hotel tomorrow. I'll tell everyone then."
"As for how many people will participate, it depends on them."
"no problem."
After a few people exchanged greetings and chatted for a while, Director Ma and Deputy Director Guo rushed back to the mainland to report to their superiors.
However, he and Ho Ying-tung changed their conversation to talk about the situation in Hong Kong and stayed until dinner before leaving.
The next day.
Early morning at the Peninsula Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong.
At this time, all the prominent Chinese tycoons in Hong Kong gathered here, including Dong Haoyun, Li Jiacheng, Guo Desheng, Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji, Zhang Yuliang, and He Gambling King.
