Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 626: Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind

"This medicine is out, do you want to try it?"

Du Wanting held the medicine in her hand and asked him with a smile.

Wang Qingsong was thinking about something. When he heard her say that, he saw her take out a box of medicine from the drawer. It was the small blue pills.

Then he rolled his eyes: "What's wrong? Are you not satisfied?"

"Pah! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Du Wanting spat and rolled her eyes at him in reproach, muttering, "He was fine before, but now he's like a little calf. What will happen if he takes the medicine?"

Wang Qingsong chuckled.

He didn't know why, but it had been normal before, but now as time went on, he found that he was getting stronger.

Haven't measured it specifically.

But you can feel it when you are working, some parts are very heavy and difficult to move.

But now it’s very easy.

I obviously didn't go there specifically for exercise.

He also discovered a problem, that is, Zhou Ying and Du Wanting's skin is becoming more and more hydrated.

Even compared with high school students, they are not much worse.

On the contrary, Liang Chunxiao and the other person have not had any major breakthroughs. Although they have changed a lot compared to when they were in the countryside, after living in the city for a while, the changes are not that big.

Whether it has anything to do with me or not, I will know the result after getting married in a few days.

He collected his thoughts and smiled, "Okay, no more nonsense. By the way, how is the shipping company doing now?"

Hearing this, Du Wanting retracted her smile and said, "Even if you didn't tell me, I would have come to find you! Now because of the bank run, the loan issue is a bit troublesome. Uncle Chen suggested that we slow down the progress and try not to take out loans for some loans that are due."

After listening to this, Wang Qingsong was thinking about it.

The model used by the shipping companies is to use stable order contracts to obtain loans. Now that the banks are in turmoil, even large banks like HSBC will be affected.

The pace of lending will certainly slow down.

He didn’t rush to answer, but asked, “What’s the current scale?”

"Oriental Shipping now has a total of 145 ships, including those that have not been delivered, with a total deadweight tonnage of 1100 million tons. Are you sure you still want to invest the revenue in new ships? The hometown association feels that the risk is too great and has strong objections."

Wang Qingsong said nonchalantly: "It's okay, those who don't want to can withdraw their shares, and we'll continue as before. If it doesn't work, we can find someone else to cooperate with, and find Boss Bao."

In 78, he was able to sit firmly on the top spot among the world's seven largest shipping companies.

There is definitely no problem with ability.

Now he is surpassing us and ranking second in Hong Kong Island’s shipping.

Hearing him say this, Du Wanting was a little worried, but still didn't say anything: "Okay! I'll go communicate with them."

Then he said, "By the way, Hess wants to acquire a French established cosmetics company in full, which involves several chemical plants. The amount is quite large, so they may not be able to distribute dividends this year."

Wang Qingsong raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

In fact, we have always used part of the profits for investment, including acquiring some companies.

But this time there is no dividend, which shows that the investment amount is quite large.

He collected his thoughts and agreed: "Okay, then let's not divide it! Our money is enough for now."

He still has so much cash in his hands, and he also has several golden gooses that can lay eggs.

It can be said that their company has become a technology giant in Hong Kong Island. After all, the industry here still mainly relies on textiles.

His focus is on drugs that will be available next year.

Because of time constraints, even if it is only one-tenth, we can still make $1 billion in the first year.

So he is still very much looking forward to it.

This is just one of the products, there is also sildenafil!
This is also a phenomenal drug.

Although it is not as huge as atorvastatin with annual sales of tens of billions, it is still at the level of billions of dollars per year.

Then he thought of something and asked, "Oh, by the way, can you ask Shirley if he knows any big names in biotechnology?

"Biological Technology?"

Du Wanting was puzzled for a moment.

"Yes! Biotechnology, especially in agriculture."

Genetically modified soybeans!
He had seen the soybean war in later generations.

He wanted to give this a try.

Why let others get ahead?

Du Wanting covered her head, picked up the phone on the table and made a call.

After a while, she hung up the phone and said with a smile, "There isn't a lot of agriculture in Hong Kong Island, so there are professors in biotechnology, especially agriculture, but they may not meet your standards. She said that if you need it, the pharmaceutical company can find someone for you, as long as you pay for it."

Wang Qingsong clicked his tongue.

Genetically modified organisms began to be produced in the 1980s, and the patent period for early products has expired.

It can be brought over.

As for the follow-up, you can let the company study it slowly. As long as there is a direction, it will be much simpler.

Genetic engineering is not very advanced now.

You can give it a try, it’s still early.

Moreover, medicine and chemical industry are inseparable.

Thinking of this, he said, "Okay, ask her to help me find some talents in this area, and I'll find something for her later."

Du Wanting shrugged upon hearing this.

Wang Qingsong thought of something and said, "You didn't give all the things I gave you to Hess at once, did you?"

What he was talking about was naturally the various cosmetics brought over from later generations.

I asked someone to buy these brands from Guangzhou through the channels of LV, Dior, Gucci, Saint Laurent, Prada, Hermès, Chanel...

I have collected all kinds of cosmetics from these brands.

Mark the time and send some to Hess’ company every year.

You can't invest all of it at once, otherwise it won't be sustainable.

The clothes, bags, etc. are given to luxury goods companies in Hong Kong Island. After all, the chemical factories in Hong Kong Island are not very developed.

I have to say that the factories in Guangdong are really powerful.

If it weren't for the brand issue, they really could have done it.

There is absolutely no problem in mistaking the fake for the real thing.

In this day and age, that is true.

Du Wanting hummed: "Don't worry, it won't happen. They are all in the safe. Only I can get them."

"Ah That's good!"

Wang Qingsong hummed, then said, "How is the matter I asked uncle to do?"

What he was talking about was naturally about brand stores.

The various luxury bags and clothing styles that have been brought over from later generations naturally have to be produced by someone specifically.

What he had to do was, of course, set up a special workshop to make these things purely by hand, and in limited quantities.

A leather factory was also acquired for this purpose.

Du Wanting hummed: "It's already been done. Your requirements are too strict. The yield rate is not very high, and you need to destroy any defective products that cannot be reused.

My dad says you’re too picky.”

"We can't help it. We sell at such a high price, how can the quality be worse?"

Currently, few of the world's major international luxury brands have set up shop in Hong Kong Island.

The prices in their store are as high as several hundred US dollars, which can be said to be the most expensive bag brand in Hong Kong. The prices are basically the same as those of large luxury goods abroad.

Even so, on average, about ten people go to buy it every day.

It can be seen that there are still many wealthy people in Hong Kong Island.

Now, mobile phones have become a standard feature of Hong Kong's upper class society, and have spread from politicians and wealthy businessmen to the elite class.

The elite class is much larger in number.

In the first year, the company sold about 10,000 units, but in the second year, it sold 30,000 units, a three-fold increase.

But that’s all there is to it. After all, Hong Kong Island has not yet developed. Many people will buy properties in the future, but the number will not surge like it did this time.

To go with the phone are naturally watches, jewelry, and luxury bags from the same store.

At least it has begun to take shape in Hong Kong Island.

Du Wanting looked at her and clicked her tongue.

Then he asked, "By the way, the Americans and British are asking about the phone again. Are you sure you want to keep dragging it out? They are sincere."

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong came back to his senses.

After sitting down, he smoked a cigarette and said with a smile: "Don't worry, just reply to them that the technology is not mature enough."

Since mobile phones were launched in Hong Kong Island, many companies focusing on communications have seen the success of mobile phones.

Many large companies came to discuss acquisitions.

Acquisition is impossible.

Later on, it gradually turned into cooperation.

I really couldn’t agree to it before, but it should be soon.

The chips for mobile phones can already be produced, and so can other components.

It’s just that the size of the mobile phone really needs to be that big.

Du Yunze and Spock are now studying this mobile phone system and base station.

In the next two to three years, we should be able to produce a complete set of 1G mobile phones.

After all, this thing is quite simple for people in the industry.

By then we can cooperate with companies from other countries on 1G technology.

I have no roots in the United States, so if I want to promote my mobile phones there, I have no choice but to cooperate.

But he can sell equipment and phones.

You have to know that for a place as big as the United States, the number of communications equipment is astronomical.

Therefore, later on he needed to move over various communication equipment technologies from there. He didn't need the latest technology, just the early ones would be enough.

For this purpose, he had already asked Du Wanting to register a communications company in the United States.

It would be best if he could become an independent communications operator there, but if not, he would cooperate with others.

Relying on later technology, just selling equipment is already a big deal.

Du Wanting looked at him in confusion. Why didn't he seize such a good opportunity? If time went on, the other party might lose patience.

"Okay then! Just say the technology is not mature enough."

Wang Qingsong looked at her and asked, "By the way, how is the real estate business over there?"

Ever since Du Minghai insisted on getting involved with the Tang family last year, they have been continuing to borrow money after the property market plummeted this year.

I always feel like this is just labor pain.

It will be over soon.

Du Minghai couldn't withdraw his investment even if he wanted to.

Du Wanting said helplessly: "Uncle Tang has gone crazy. He mortgaged his remaining property and house, but it's too late to save the situation.

My father found me today, and I took over their property."

Wang Qingsong shook his head helplessly. This was the inevitable result.

Of course, he could not have purchased the real estate from the Du and Tang families at a high price, but only at the current price.

Even so, the money of both families was wasted.

Their money was just used to repay Du Tang's bank loan. This loan was used as the start-up capital for opening a real estate project, and the money for buying the land had already been paid.

This means that he only paid one-third of the previous land price and got a piece of land.

Moreover, this is a half-built building. As long as capital is injected, the original construction team can continue construction.

The only difference is that the Tang family went bankrupt, but Du Minghai, because of his connections, still has a textile factory that can continue to make money for him.

Anyway, the acquisition conditions are the same for acquiring other people's companies. There is no reason why he would not buy it back if Du Minghai wants to sell it.

However, the nature of these newly opened properties is different from that of discounted properties.

If the completed property is sold at market price, it can only be said to be a loss, but it will not bankrupt the family.

But it is different for properties under construction. Once the capital chain is broken and the bank loan cannot be repaid, the property will be taken back.

As for the auction price, it is not something that ordinary people can decide.

Some people don’t even have enough money to pay off their loans and still owe money.

The required price is lower.

Du Wanting has been dealing with similar houses and plots of land recently.

Before, when he didn’t understand much, he thought that the house was half built, and the worst that could happen was that he could sell it at a loss after it was completed.

At least you won't end up losing everything and being in debt at the same time.

But he understands now.

He collected his thoughts and said, "Okay, just buy it. It doesn't matter who you buy it from."

There are too many people speculating in real estate during this period, and many of them are going bankrupt. This is the trend of the times and cannot be changed.

Du Wanting nodded slightly when she heard this: "Yes! My dad has behaved much better now. My mom said that he was so angry that he couldn't sleep for several days."

Wang Qingsong hummed.

There's no way around it. Everyone would feel bad about losing millions these days.

Money is really valuable at this time!
He checked the time and said with a smile, "Okay, go ahead and do your thing. I'm leaving now! I'm going to the mainland in a while, so it might take a few days for me to come here."

He is getting married in a few days, so the time he comes here might change.

After all, we will be sleeping in the same room from now on.

I guess I'll have time to come over at noon.

There isn't too much to do here, and it's not like before when I had to do everything by myself.

Now everything is ready except for the east wind.

He waited for the Hong Kong market to crash in the past two years and then bought at the bottom.

As for shipping, there are still two years before the Suez Canal is closed, and the company's ships are now sailing around the world.

Moreover, the investments are in cargo ships and oil tankers of tens of thousands of tons.

The younger one is no longer worth looking at.

Two years later, the harvest will begin.

Du Wanting thought that he had to go to the mainland for special reasons, so she agreed: "Okay! Go and do your thing."

Wang Qingsong nodded, chatted for a while and then left.

……

I returned to the old city again and rode my bike towards Xidan Department Store.

"Chunxiao!"

When he arrived at the place, he shouted to Liang Chunxiao inside.

"Hey! Here we come!"

Liang Chunxiao agreed and ran in after a while.

"Why are you here!"

"I passed by here on my way to another factory on a mission. I wanted to see if there was anything else I wanted to buy. It's a good opportunity to buy some."

Liang Chunxiao thought for a moment and said, "I can't think of anything for now. I've bought everything that Aunt Han and Aunt Cuihua mentioned, including dates, lotus seeds, peanuts, and the like."

Wang Qingsong thought about it after hearing this, and finally nodded: "Okay! If you need anything, tell me and I'll get it! Take a break tomorrow, and I'll go back to my hometown and talk to my grandfather."

These days, marriage announcements need to be made in person.

Even if he doesn't need the telegram fee now, he can't just send a telegram and be done with it.
