Technology company, I will become the light of China!

"Net profit of 10 billion?"

Li Jiacheng stopped, looked at Chen Xing and said with a smile: "With such a good real estate project, the threshold for participation should be very high, right?"

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Chen Xing's micro-expressions, trying to catch some clues.

however.

He was disappointed.

Chen Xing did not show the micro-expression he wanted, but simply smiled and responded: "The participation threshold is not high for you, Mr. Li. This is mainly because this is our first meeting. I didn't bring any gifts. I just wanted to give you a project contract to enhance our mutual feelings."

"Hahaha, Mr. Chen is thoughtful."

Li Ka Shing laughed.

Although both of them were laughing happily and seemed to have known each other for more than ten years, in fact, they both had their own little calculations in their hearts.

As the richest Chinese for more than a decade in a row, Li Ka Shing is no pushover.

Only young people who have just entered society and still have fantasies believe in the idea of ​​pie falling from the sky or food being stuffed into your mouth by a noble person.

In the adult world, if someone says he wants to help you make money, there is a high probability that he just wants to make money from you, or he just needs cheap labor, and will kick him away when he is no longer of any use. This is common sense.

Take the online fraud in northern Myanmar for example. Friends and relatives on the phone make exaggerated claims about tens of thousands of yuan a month, beautiful women from different countries to play with every day, and they will help you make money. If you really believe it, you will be like a pig entering a slaughterhouse, and your heart will be taken away.

Precisely because of his rich experience, Li Ka Shing would not believe Chen Xing’s nonsense.

Chen Xing didn't expect to convince Li Ka Shing to invest just after they met.

He also knew very well that to discuss cooperation, one must sit down and negotiate slowly. If one doesn't ask anything, doesn't discuss the details, and just says yes, then it is likely to be perfunctory.

……

"Please sit anywhere. You're welcome."

Coming to the sofa in the living room, Li Ka Shing greeted everyone.

"Thank you." Chen Xing thanked him and sat down to the side.

Since Li Ka Shing knew that Chen Xing came with something, he gave all the servants in the house a day off to prevent them from overhearing any important information.

In the absence of servants, Li Zekai naturally became a servant.

He neatly arranged the tea set and poured a cup of tea in front of Chen Xing.

Before he could speak, Li Jiacheng said, "This is Lao Man'e's Pu'er tea. I heard that Mr. Chen is quite knowledgeable about tea culture. I wonder if this tea is to your liking."

"Thank you for the compliment. It's just my hobby." Chen Xing responded with a smile while picking up the teacup. He looked at the color of the tea soup and frowned slightly. Then he smelled the flavor, tasted a little, and put the teacup down again.

"Where did Mr. Li collect the tea leaves?"

"Is it the taste that's wrong?"

"The taste is indeed a bit strange. It doesn't taste like Lao Man'e Pu'er tea, but more like Lao Banzhang Pu'er tea."

"Why do you say that?"

Li Ka Shing asked.

"Both Lao Man'e and Lao Ban Zhang Pu'er teas are mainly bitter, but the difference between the two is that Lao Ban Zhang has a sweet aftertaste, while Lao Man'e's sweet aftertaste is not obvious, and the bitterness is very slow, giving people a lingering taste."

Chen Xing just finished speaking, and then he looked at the tea soup in front of him and said: "Among Pu'er teas, Laobanzhang has the darkest tea soup, followed by Mansong. The clearest and most transparent tea soup is Yiwu Pu'er tea."

"Clap clap-"

"It really is not a problem for you, Mr. Chen."

Li Ka Shing clapped his hands in admiration, and the contempt in his heart disappeared.

The reason why he deliberately misled was that he heard that Chen Xing knew something about tea, and he also wanted to test Chen Xing's true knowledge through tea.

Perhaps many people do not understand why drinking and dinner parties can get things done, nor do they understand why dinner table culture can prevail all over the world.

In fact, whether it is the dining table culture, the drinking table culture, or the tea table culture, the most important point is to examine one's abilities.

to be honest.

This is an interview.

Things like the way of speaking, on-the-spot reaction, knowledge reserves, and the ability to rescue in time can all reflect a person's ability.

Even if there were no cultures such as drinking tables, dining tables, and tea tables, other cultures would still emerge, because "seniors" need an opportunity to examine the other party's abilities.

If the drinking culture is simply a competition of drinking capacity, then things would be easy. Just find a drunkard to participate, and any cooperation can't be easily won.
But unfortunately, the culture of drinking tables, dining tables and tea tables is to see the essence of things. Even if you don't say a word, as long as you can give a reasonable reason, the contract can still be signed.

"Mr. Chen is really amazing. I deliberately diluted the tea, but I didn't expect that it was still guessed. This is indeed Laobanzhang." Li Zekai also gave a thumbs up in praise.

In the past, he had no concept of what it meant to be “young and successful”, because the rich second-generations of his age around him ate, drank and had fun just like him, doing whatever they wanted.

It was not until Chen Xing appeared that he finally realized that the second generation of rich people are not only about eating, drinking and having fun, but also about striving for their careers and surpassing the empire established by their parents.

"Thank you very much, it's just that Laobanzhang is easier to guess, I was just lucky."

Chen Xing responded modestly.

After a simple test, Li Ka Shing had a preliminary understanding of Chen Xing's abilities and decided not to beat around the bush.

"I just heard Mr. Chen talking about real estate projects, but as far as I know, there is a serious debt gap in the mainland real estate industry. I wonder if Mr. Chen has any projects that can make me a net profit of 10 billion?"

His questions were very sharp, combining the real estate situation in the mainland and the cooperation information revealed during the meeting with Chen Xing.

Seeing that the other party went straight to the point, Chen Xing also perked up, sorted out his thoughts a little, and did not rush to answer his question.

"Mr. Li mentioned the real estate tycoon. I wonder if he has ever bought or used the home appliances produced by my Longxing Group?"

"Air conditioners and washing machines?"

"Yes."

"I've heard of it."

As soon as Li Jiacheng finished speaking, Li Zekai on the side suddenly retorted: "That's not right, father. The air conditioner in our Central Villa is from Longxing Group. You also said it is very smart. You can set the on and off time with your mobile phone."

"Cough cough."

Li Jiacheng coughed twice and said awkwardly: "Maybe I forgot. There are a lot of things going on in the company recently."

"Ze Kai, go and do your work first. I'll talk to Mr. Chen alone for a while."

If it were someone else, Li Ka Shing would probably have started cursing, saying that he was here to cause trouble, and he was immediately put in a passive position.

Chen Xing didn't expect that Li Zekai, this playboy, would actually give him an assist, and he didn't know how to thank him.

"All right…"

Li Zekai seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing and quickly left the living room.

After Li Zekai left, Li Ka Shing felt that there was a faint smile on the corner of Chen Xing's mouth, as if he was mocking him.

Even if Chen Xing wanted to laugh, he would not laugh at this time. Instead, he said, "Mr. Li is really a noble man who forgets things easily. But then again, our Longxing Group's products are indeed very smart and very easy to use."

"Yeah, I understand that."

Li Ka Shing could only frankly agree.

Originally he said he hadn't used it, thinking of leaving himself room for maneuver, but he didn't expect Li Zekai to disrupt the situation, putting him at a direct disadvantage.

"Since Mr. Li thinks it's useful, I'll show him a video. After watching it, we can talk about the specific project."

Chen Xing took out the Brilliant X2 mobile phone from his pocket, unfolded the curved screen, and the display screen area instantly doubled.

“Foldable phone?”

Li Ka Shing was stunned for half a second.

Although half a year has passed since the release of Brilliant X2, there are still many people who are not aware that mobile phones have already entered the era of foldable screens.

"Mr. Li doesn't know about this phone?"

Chen Xing was also stunned.

He has promoted it so hard, how could some people not know about it?

Li Ka Shing smiled awkwardly and responded: "I don't pay much attention to these electronic products. Today I have learned a lot."

"Understandable."

Chen Xing responded with a smile.

The two did not dwell on the topic of foldable screen phones, but instead focused all their attention on the video being played.

The video played by the Brilliant X2 at this time is a demonstration video of a smart house, focusing on the intelligence of the "Internet of Everything".

For example, when someone arrives at the door, they don’t need a key. They can directly use the smart camera installed above the door edge for facial recognition to open the house’s security door.

When I entered the house, the lights were on, the perceived temperature inside was just 23 degrees, the TV and air purifier were turned on, and the floor was spotless.

The processes of turning on the lights, air conditioning, and the air purifier and sweeping robot were all presented one by one. Li Ka Shing was stunned and couldn't believe it was real.

You should know that the daily management of his villa requires three servants, and the monthly expenditure is about 10 Hong Kong dollars, which means that the monthly salary of each servant is about 3.3 Hong Kong dollars.

If everything is intelligent, it would only take one servant to do the laundry and cooking, and the cost would be greatly reduced.

"How do you feel, Mr. Li?"

After the video was played, Chen Xing immediately asked Li Ka Shing how he felt.

"Very good, ordinary people can also enjoy servant-level household services." Li Ka Shing first affirmed, and then asked: "Do you want to sell this type of house?"

Having been in the business world for many years, he has some knowledge and thinking.

The first thing he thought of after watching the video was the project that Chen Xing mentioned. If nothing unexpected happens, it would be a smart house.

"That's right." Chen Xing nodded in response, and stated the purpose of this trip: "Mr. Li, you should also know that the real estate companies in the mainland are now facing a 2 trillion debt crisis. I think this is a gold mine. As long as we join forces to take it on, it won't be a problem to make a net profit of several hundred billion."

"You want to take over the debt?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Li Ka Shing's eyes.

He didn't expect that the project Chen Xing was talking about was this. If he had known it earlier, he would definitely not have met with Chen Xing, because that was two trillion yuan. Who could come up with two trillion yuan?

Even if he sold all the properties in Hong Kong Island, he still couldn't come up with 2 trillion!

Looking at the surprised Li Jiacheng, Chen Xing did not continue his words, but changed his angle and said: "It may be a debt to others, but to us, it is a gold mine. As long as it is properly developed, it can make money."

Li Ka Shing stared at Chen Xing, he wanted to know if Chen Xing was joking.

Two trillion!
That’s two trillion!
Even if you really accept it, can you, Chen Xing, guarantee that you can make money?
Li Ka Shing was no fool, and he declined politely, "Two trillion is too much. I'm sorry I can't help you, Mr. Chen. Please go back."

When the order to expel him came out, Chen Xing knew he had to resort to drastic measures. He lowered his voice and said, "I'll let you protect your capital while making a net profit of 800 billion. This can be written into the contract in black and white."

"..."

Li Ka Shing was stunned.

He never expected Chen Xing to be so confident.

While protecting his capital, he also made a net profit of 800 billion, and that was written into the contract. This was incredible and was truly a "big gift".

If it were someone else, he might have shrugged it off, thinking that they might be after his capital.

But these words came from Chen Xing's mouth!
Who is Chen Xing? The actual controller of Longxing Group!

The listing speech just now has revealed that the net assets of Longxing Group are as high as 1.7 trillion, but the valuation is only 2.4 trillion, which is obviously seriously underestimated. Once the group's shares are listed and traded, a premium valuation of ten times the net assets is in the normal range.

This means that from the moment Chen Xing revealed the group's net assets, the valuation of Longxing Group may have increased several times, at least breaking the 10 trillion level.

Aren’t the black and white words from a CEO with a market value of 10 trillion yuan convincing enough?
After a long silence, Li Ka Shing finally gave in and asked the most concerned question: "I know that taking over the debt and developing the land can make money, but the premise is that someone has to pay for it. Are you so sure that it can be sold out?"

"Please don't worry about the house sales, Mr. Li. I have my own way to solve it. Besides, it's written down in black and white, so you won't suffer any loss, Mr. Li." Chen Xing replied calmly.

It is natural for businessmen to pursue profits, and this is also their only weakness.

Li Ka Shing stared at Chen Xing, as if he wanted to see through his eyes and see what was in Chen Xing's mind.

The two looked at each other and neither of them spoke.

On the other side, Li Zekai, who was eavesdropping in the servant's room, covered his mouth tightly, his eyes already widened.

He never expected that Chen Xing would join forces with his father to invest 2 trillion yuan to acquire crumbling real estate companies such as Evergrande and Country Garden.

Two trillion!

That’s two trillion!

An ordinary person with a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan would not be able to save that much money even if he did not eat or drink and had to work since the age of monkeys.

"Others try to avoid debt, but he actually thought of taking over the development. Is this the key to Chen Xing's success?"

Li Zekai thought to himself.

Perhaps Chen Xing would never have thought that because of his influence, Li Zekai would also become an "alternative" investor in the future.

……

"Okay, how much do you want?"

After a long silence, Li Ka Shing finally gave in.

He is a businessman, and pursuing profits is his nature. Since Chen Xing guaranteed a profit of 800 billion and would not lose the principal, he naturally would not let it go.

"According to the Forbes rankings, Mr. Li, you have a total of 2000 billion in funds. The actual amount should be 4000 billion, right?"

Chen Xing picked up the teacup and said with a smile.

The Forbes ranking actually has no reference value, and many hidden rich people will even avoid being on this ranking.

However, in the early years, Li Ka Shing was too high-profile. He not only announced the total amount of funds he owned, but also said that there would be more in the future.

"Mr. Chen, you must be joking. 4000 billion, how can there be so much money?" Li Ka Shing directly denied it, but did not make any excuses.

"Since Mr. Li doesn't have 4000 billion, he should have 3000 billion, right?"

"I only have 1800 billion."

As soon as Chen Xing finished speaking, Li Ka Shing made his first statement.

"1800 billion is not enough. You can have 3000 billion, Mr. Li."

"I really only have 1800 billion."

"You can have it."

"I really didn't!"

As soon as Li Jiacheng finished speaking, Chen Xing suddenly put down his teacup, stood up and said, "Since there is no one, then excuse me for disturbing you. I'd better talk to Mr. Wang from Longrun about the specific matters. Although it will cost more, he should be able to do it."

"Longrun Group?"

Li Ka Shing was shocked.

Longrun Group is a giant enterprise in Hong Kong Island and even in the entire Dragon Country. He can't compare to it at all.

The most important thing is that Wang Ming, the boss of Longrun Group, can easily control him.

"Well, goodbye."

Chen Xing turned and was about to leave.

Looking at Chen Xing's back as he was about to leave, Li Jiacheng knew very well that this was a trick, but he still fell into it and raised his voice and said, "Mr. Chen, please stay."

"What's wrong, Mr. Li?"

Chen Xing turned around and asked even though he knew the answer.

"3000 billion is 3000 billion, but we have already agreed that it is clearly written in black and white, and you must pay it on time."

"no problem."

Chen Xing replied with a smile.

He was not worried at all that Li Ka Shing would not give in, because before coming, he had asked Wei Yan to investigate privately.

You wouldn't know until you checked. Once you checked, you found out that Li Ka Shing still has 3000 billion yuan in US banks earning interest, which means he has at least 5000 billion yuan in assets.

Making 3000 billion from 800 billion is a 26.7% return rate.

The most important thing is that, thanks to Chen Xing’s written statement, this is a fixed income financial product with a fixed income of 26.7%. Has anyone seen this?

Even Warren Buffett, the stock god, only has a return on investment of around 20%.

……

After Li Ka Shing gave in, the subsequent contract process went smoothly. The general content was...

Li Ka Shing invested 3000 billion Royal Dollars in Chen Xing. He does not care what the funds are used for and will not inquire about the money.

What Chen Xing has to do is to pay back 3800 billion yuan to Li Ka Shing, including principal and interest, within two years. If the two-year deadline is exceeded, the penalty will be 200 billion yuan per year, doubling every year.

Originally, Chen Xing was thinking about whether they could form a joint venture and share the profits from the real estate investment equally between the two companies, but Li Ka Shing refused outright. He only wanted 800 billion, which was enough.

Since the other party didn't want it, Chen Xing didn't force it. Besides, he just mentioned it casually and had never thought about forming a joint venture with Li Ka Shing.

"It's a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Chen."

"It's been a pleasure working with you, Mr. Li."

After the contract was signed, Chen Xing and Li Ka Shing shook hands, both with smiles on their faces, and both parties achieved their goals.

Chen Xing's 800 billion gift also prompted Li Ka Shing to hastily host a banquet in his honor.

The two had never met before, and even inviting each other to dinner was just a courtesy. But now they have a common interest. Li Ka Shing not only took out his treasured wine and drinks, but also called his daughter to the villa and introduced her to Chen Xing during lunch, hoping to see if they could bring them together, which would give him a greater return.

Chen Xing was no fool and politely declined his kindness.

Marry Li Ka Shing’s daughter?

I'm afraid he will be eaten up completely in the end.

After lunch, Chen Xing didn't stay for long. After a simple greeting, he asked Zhao Siqiu to drive back to Shenzhen.

Not long after starting the car, Zhao Siqiu couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Li, you don't want it? Don't you businessmen like to form alliances and join forces?"

"You have a stereotype. Besides, Li Ka Shing doesn't have anything I need except money, and I have his money."

Chen Xing said calmly.

In Hong Kong Island, Li Ka Shing's words may have effect, but Longxing Group's main business is global, and its real estate is targeted at the mainland market. He can't help Chen Xing in any way. If the two families get married, it won't be Chen Xing sucking his blood, but he will suck the blood of Longxing Group.

Who would be so stupid as to find someone to suck their blood?

"So the matter is settled?"

Zhao Siqiu asked again.

"Everything has been settled. I can finally put down the huge rock in my heart." Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

As a reborn person, he knew about the collapse of Evergrande Group and Country Garden in advance, and he also intended to change the outcome.

It’s not that he likes to show off, but this is related to the domestic economy of Dragon Country.

Once a chain reaction occurs in the real estate market, ordinary people will be the only ones to suffer, and economic deflation will become even more serious. This is also the reason why the West is demanding debts.

Technology can't compete.

Military victory is unsuccessful.

They can only think of taking economic action.

If Longguo wants to become a strong country in science and technology, military and economy, the real estate bomb must land smoothly and then slowly change the domestic economic dominant model.

The key to a smooth landing for the real estate industry is that more people are willing to buy houses, and it just so happens that Longxing Group has this ability.

Chen Xing also planned that after Longxing Group went public, it would be able to raise about 3621 billion yuan. Combined with the more than 300 billion yuan owned by the group itself, the available funds would reach 4000 billion yuan.

4000 billion plus Li Ka Shing's 3000 billion is 7000 billion.

In addition to Li Ka Shing, Chen Xing also contacted CEOs of domestic alliance companies such as Ren Guofei, Lei Jun, Duan Yongping, etc. More than 3000 companies pooled together 1 billion in working capital, which means that Chen Xing has trillion in funds to take over.

1 trillion yuan in funds is only half of the 2 trillion yuan in debt, but it can already resolve all of Country Garden's debts and part of Evergrande Group's debts. Once the development rights of idle land and unfinished properties are obtained, the funds will be recovered quickly and a smooth landing will gradually be achieved.

Chen Xing has calculated carefully that if he invests 1 trillion yuan in the development of smart communities, he can earn about 2000 billion yuan, excluding some pre-sale buildings that have been sold and the money paid to investors.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing couldn't help but call Wang Shan to report the good news.

"Dududu-"

After several busy tones, the call was connected.

"How's the talk going?"

Wang Shan seemed to have known the result, and his tone was filled with joy.

Chen Xing left the capital last night and had already reported his plan to him. He also supported private capital to step forward.

Because in addition to looking at the Jinlong Technology Index and companies that are about to go public, capital from all over the world also wants to know how Longguo will deal with the affairs of Evergrande and Country Garden.

"It's all settled. I plan to invest 1 trillion yuan in four phases. Within two years, the mainland real estate industry will be completely transformed."

While answering, Chen Xing briefly outlined his plan.

"Okay!" Wang Shan couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Go ahead and do it boldly. If you need anything, just ask. I will do my best to assist you. You don't have to be polite to me."

"Then I'll thank you in advance."

Chen Xing responded with a smile.

"By the way, are the ternary chips and computers you mentioned yesterday real?" Wang Shan suddenly asked again.

Although he doesn't understand the ternary system, there are academicians at the Longke Academy who do.

Last night, Qin Long, the president of Longke Institute, contacted him specifically to verify and ask whether Chen Xing was bragging about the ternary chip and computer.

Wang Shan also learned from Qin Long that the difference between ternary and binary is not just a difference in number systems, but the existing computer system needs to be completely rebuilt to establish a number system unique to Longguo.

Chen did not hide the fact that Wang Shan was one of the few people he could completely trust.

"It's true. It's under development. The code name of the ternary project is Fuxi. It is expected to be completed by the end of the year or the beginning of next spring. If the old leader is interested, I will inform you as soon as there is new progress in the project."
