Chapter 393 Unexpected Harvest
"Next? What do we do?"
When Yang Zhongwei heard the next step in Fang Xiang’s words, he immediately became excited.
"How much do you know about Hong Kong Island's telecommunications companies?"
After thinking about it for a while, Fang Xiang felt that he had almost finished speaking, so he asked.
“Not too much.
However, I do know a little about the mobile phones and pagers that have become popular in the past two years.
The company provided me with one.
Professor, you mean we should be in the communications industry?"
Yang Zhongwei frowned and thought for a while before speaking.
"right.
Become a full-service supplier for the communications industry.”
Fang Xiang nodded.
"This... is a completely unfamiliar industry?!"
Yang Zhongwei was suddenly shocked.
“Well, it’s a brand new industry that we have the opportunity to do.
Is there any industry that is easy to do, and we can enter it?"
Fang Xiang pointed at Yang Zhongwei.
“As far as I know, the Lee family’s Hutchison Whampoa is involved in this area.
There is also a relatively large one, called Hong Kong Island Telecommunications Limited.
They are the only two companies that are doing big business right now. This year they launched a calling package, which is too expensive, like robbery.”
Yang Zhongwei stood up, walked to the French window and looked downstairs.
Fang Xiang followed suit and sat in front of the French window. There happened to be a store selling mobile phones and pagers below. I couldn't find any from Hong Kong, this one is from China. "Then buy both of them.
As for Hutchison... do we still have some land that has not been sold?"
Fang Xiang took a look at the sign and saw that it was indeed Hutchison Whampoa.
As soon as my mind raced, I came up with an idea.
"have.
There are several large properties in Causeway Bay and Central, and Cheung Kong Holdings has been raising money recently.
There are also some smaller ones, and other real estate companies are bidding.”
Yang Zhongwei replied immediately, and as soon as he finished speaking, his eyes lit up, as if he realized something.
“If the Li family is unwilling to sell, then change it.
Exchange land for Hutchison Communications.
If there is any land left, we will exchange it for the properties they have built, in good locations with high rents and values.
It's not good for us to have too much cash.
It would be good to keep some chickens that lay eggs.”
Fang wanted to turn around and return to his seat.
“The Li family proposed it before.
But we didn't agree at the beginning, our purpose was to make things difficult for him and force him to get a loan from the bank.
As far as I know, Cheung Kong Holdings has mortgaged almost all of its assets and borrowed tens of billions of dollars from banks.
The interest alone would eat them up every year!"
Yang Zhongwei also returned to his seat and subconsciously took out a cigarette.
But he immediately realized that Fang Xiang was there, so he took it back.
But it didn't affect his happiness at the moment.
“So, I just arrived in Hong Kong Island and Li Jiacheng came to me.
I guess it's just to exchange shares for land?!"
Fang Xiang suddenly remembered the first day he returned to Hong Kong when Li Jiacheng came to his house.
“Don’t stop the acquisition of film companies and TV stations here.
It is best to directly find various newspapers and media and book their pages for the next month!
Announcing the joining of a new artist every day continues to attract the attention of Hong Kong Island.
Buy up all the news related to the acquisition of the telecommunications industry and don’t let them release it!
After the news about the artists is finished, they’ll release news about the filming of movies, or some fictional news, to take up all the space!
Wait until the TV station is almost acquired before releasing the news of the acquisition.
In short, I don’t want to see any news about our acquisition of the communications industry in any media.”
Fang Xiang naturally saw Yang Zhongwei's move to smoke.
So he took out a Zhonghua cigarette from his pocket, threw it to him, and lit one for himself.
"no problem!
I guess Cheung Kong Holdings is eager for the acquisition by Hutchison.
Even if it is to acquire a telecommunications company, it is not that difficult and can be done in a few days.
But the problem is, we don’t have access to cell phones and pagers, right?”
Yang Zhongwei finally lit a cigarette for himself. After taking a puff with great satisfaction, he suddenly thought of a very important question.
“Then go find it.
Europe has Alcatel and Northern Europe has Nokia.
Didn’t I ask you to prepare an acquisition team last time?
We did acquisitions and linkage channels together.
Base stations, terminals and everything else, all in place at one go.
By the way, you will probably need a lot of hardware. Remember to go to North America and find a company called Cisco. They should have been established not long ago.
If you are a hardware company or software company, you can ask them. You don’t need to acquire the entire company. You can just buy one-third of the shares.”
After taking a puff of his cigarette, Fang Xiang put the butt in the ashtray.
He continued to hold the teacup and took a sip of tea.
“Okay, I’ve got it all noted down.
So will all the extra money be converted into US dollars?"
Yang Zhongwei was writing very fast with the pen in his hand at this time, and he didn't even notice the cigarette ash falling to the ground.
"Change!
The Hong Kong dollar will become less and less valuable in the future, so exchanging it for US dollars is the best option.
After the exchange, remember to call the securities company and they will buy it as stocks."
When Fang Xiang heard Yang Zhongwei's question, he did not hesitate at all.
It is now 85, and there are still two full years before the 87 stock market crash.
If you buy it as stocks, you can at least double or triple your money.
How could we let go of such a money-making opportunity?
“Professor, speaking of the communications industry, I suddenly remembered something.
I don’t know if it’s convenient to say...”
After Yang Zhongwei finished recording Fang Xiang's words, he suddenly remembered something.
He raised his head, his face hesitant.
"Tell me, there is nothing you can't say."
Fang Xiang took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
“There are many semiconductor electronics factories in Hong Kong Island now, such as Hing Wah, Aika, and Huake.
They now made radios, color televisions, tape recorders, electronic watches, calculators, VCRs, jukeboxes, and even projection televisions.
I think it is also an emerging industry.
Should we consider it?"
After being encouraged by Fang Xiang, Yang Zhongwei counted on his fingers and told Fang Xiang the information he knew.
“Semiconductor electronics industry?!
How big are they doing now?”
When Fang Xiang heard that it was the semiconductor electronics industry, he immediately became interested.
He had just set up a scientific research team in Shanghai at the beginning of the year, and had transferred three million yuan in initial funding.
I think it will take at least one or two years before I can see initial results.
I didn’t expect there is one here in Hong Kong Island? !
“It’s still very popular.
Previously, we developed a piece of land next to the Tai Po Industrial Village as supporting facilities, and many factory owners came to buy houses there.
They were very generous and bought it directly after asking the price. "
Yang Zhongwei immediately found a map.
"Such a large piece of land? All industrial area?"
Fang Xiang was a little surprised when he looked at the plot of land on the map which was almost several square kilometers in size.
“All of them!
This was a project previously supported by the Hong Kong Island government.
It is planned to be fully developed by 90, and the first phase was put into use last year.
In the early stages of the second phase of development, many small factories in Hong Kong Island that were originally engaged in industry and electronics moved there.”
Yang Zhongwei drew a range on the map with his hand.
“Such a large scale???”
Fang Xiang fell into deep thought.
He originally thought that Hong Kong Island was only strong in trade, but he didn't expect that by 85, there was actually industry locally.
And it is a very advanced semiconductor electronics industry.
"right.
Because Hong Kong Island is a free port, the purchase and shipment of goods are very fast.
Products that take half a year or even longer to produce in Japan, Europe and the United States can be turned into finished products in Hong Kong in just three months or even less, and exported to all parts of the world.
The only pity is that the technology is not advanced at present and the market is already saturated.”
After Yang Zhongwei finished speaking, he took a step back.
"There is a lot to be done..."
Fang Xiang pinched his chin, looked at the map, and muttered.
