These waves of people, I'll see them eventually.
People in the financial world are not to be trifled with, but Xing Baohua can be incredibly petty at times.
He holds a grudge about the Nikon incident. If it weren't for China Merchants Group and Samsung giving him a hand, he probably would have wasted billions of dollars.
These are the same people you usually drink and chat with, putting your arm around their shoulders and calling each other brothers. They'll pat their chests and say if you need anything, just ask them; they're more reliable than anyone else.
When it really comes down to it, they run faster than rabbits, either because they can't find you or because they have some other excuse to avoid you.
Drinking buddies are of no use whatsoever. A thousand cups of wine are not enough when drinking with a true friend. Although such true friends are few, they can lend a helping hand in times of need and prevent you from falling into a trap.
Of course, these people in finance are all opportunists. The more difficult your situation, the more they will kick you when you're down, and the better your situation, the more they will try to make money off you.
All the bank executives he used to be familiar with have been replaced; Xing Baohua wouldn't recognize them without them identifying themselves.
These executives all arrived with smiles on their faces. Aside from getting to know each other, they gave Xing Baohua only one piece of advice: "Let the money do the talking. The interest rate is the lowest, and you can have as much as you want."
Xing Baohua recovered. "Are we short of money?" "Yes, we've gathered all the conglomerates from the desert country, what's there to be short of?"
He could raise $30 billion in initial funding alone. With that initial capital, he could simply invest it in the national space program, which would be more than enough to fund ten satellites plus transportation costs, and also cover personnel expenses.
Xing Baohua chatted with these bankers about their personal relationships, from which year they met each other, what gatherings they had attended, and how much favor they had done for each other.
If you mention money to me, I'll do you a favor. This guy even went so far as to say, "We have a friendly business relationship. Talking about money will hurt our feelings!"
Ever since that Nikon incident, Xing Baohua has been determined never to use those scoundrels again. If a real crisis were to occur, he would rather go bankrupt than ask for a single penny from these banks.
When that time comes, even if you beg them, they won't lend you a single penny. This isn't just common, it's extremely common.
When the Samsung princess arrived, Xing Baohua gave her a warm welcome. Although the loan from Samsung wasn't immediately available, the company had already taken action; Xing Baohua knew that mobilizing such a large sum of funds took time.
Perhaps that cheap father-in-law was a close friend who had been through thick and thin with Xing Baohua, and out of consideration for their past relationship, he helped Xing Baohua out of kindness.
Maybe it's also because of his precious daughter.
Samsung is not yet the behemoth it will become, and it is currently facing pressure from a coalition of Japan and the United States.
Because the Japanese were too cocky and often disobeyed the Americans' orders, the Americans eventually gave some development opportunities to Samsung.
Perhaps it is in these next few years that Samsung will experience a breakthrough.
It won't be so easy to get along with Samsung anymore; we might even have to fight tooth and nail in the market.
Hmm, never mind, we'll talk about it later. Isn't it normal for in-laws to compete fiercely? Samsung and LG are in-laws. Did that hinder their competition?
Puma and Adidas are like brothers! It's said that the children born to Adidas's wife are actually Puma's, which is why Puma and Adidas started feuding.
Xing Baohua told the princess that he could only give Samsung 2% of the quota. This was after giving up the 10% quota he controlled.
This 2% requires $2 billion, and it's not a one-time payment. It's divided into three phases, with payments made based on the progress of the star-making process.
For such large projects worth hundreds of millions, investing in batches is beneficial for everyone, as it avoids taking up so much money all at once and prevents significant financial losses.
Both parties are very satisfied with the cooperation with Samsung; one side gives and the other takes, and both sides' needs are met.
Over the next two days, a temporary agreement was signed with the consortium from the desert country. Once all shareholders had distributed their shares, a formal cooperation agreement would be signed.
The company is named Asia Commercial Satellite Services Corporation Limited, abbreviated as Asia Satellite.
After seeing off wave after wave of people, Xing Baohua finally got a short rest, only to receive a call from Young Master Li.
There was nothing this person could do; the family knew many people, and they all wanted to get the remaining 8% from Xing Baohua.
In fact, this 8% has already been divided up by the seven major families, but some people with even greater strength have invested, so there is still about 0.8% of the shares left.
Some people want to take a small percentage, just to be a casual shareholder, and then sell to whoever pays them once the company goes public.
Making a little money is fine.
Want to get Xing Baohua's original shares? That's not about money, it's about how much shamelessness you have.
The Li family knows many wealthy people and has a complicated network of relationships. Due to face-saving concerns, they had to swallow their pride and ask Xing Baohua to come forward and have a chat.
One must be adept at navigating social interactions to avoid giving others cause for gossip.
Young Master Li, thinking about how hard Xing Baohua worked, arranged a relaxing club for him.
This place focuses on full-body relaxation and is very professional; such clubs are extremely rare in Hong Kong.
The location was chosen by Young Master Li, and the person who hosted the dinner was the client, whose surname was Fang.
Although he is of Chinese descent, his identity is Malay, and he owns many businesses in Hong Kong.
The Fang family brought their eldest son, and both Xing Baohua and Li Dashao were young people, and the younger generation is easy to talk to.
Xing Baohua and the Fang family have now established a connection. Although the deal didn't go through, they can still maintain good relations and there will be other opportunities next time. Xing Baohua subtly told them that they were too late; there were too many wolves and not enough meat, and the meat had already been divided up. He added that there would be another chance to cooperate in the future.
The Fang family was very generous; as a gift to Xing Baohua, they gave her two tree roots.
Those in the know will happily accept it at a glance, while those who don't will probably curse it in their hearts countless times, wondering what the meaning of sending a broken tree root is.
