Chapter 1890 Cooperation
Seeing Liu Datou sighing, Xiao Qi would not tell him that there was actually a way to solve the problem.
That is, people's current development focus is on the Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta regions. The competitiveness of these places is very high, so Hong Kong talents cannot take advantage.
But if you look beyond first-tier cities and second-tier cities and go directly to third-tier cities like Yuanyin, or even fourth-tier counties, then the competition is not big at all, and the housing prices in these places are also very low, which is suitable for speculation.
In the previous life, after 2010, housing prices in third- and fourth-tier cities soared like this.
It's a pity that Hong Kong people don't think enough. They only think that the most developed areas are the most suitable for development, but they don't know that there are also big gold mines in small places.
The great ancestors of our country conquered the world by encircling the cities from the countryside, which naturally proves that in China, even small places have great potential.
Of course, Xiao Qi would certainly not tell Li Chaoren, Liu Datou and the others, that ordinary people's lives were no longer easy, so how could he increase their burden?
Again, the best solution is to divert the trouble away from the situation.
Anyway, Hong Kong people have been getting along with the British for so many years. Letting them go to the British Isles in turn is definitely a great opportunity to show off the prestige of China.
Among them, two people did the best.
One is Li Chaoren, who almost "bought the entire UK".
The other one was Liu Datou, who was sitting in front of him with a simple and honest smile.
Liu Datou is really not honest at all, and his fortune business is not very glorious. After cheating several collaborators in a row, he gradually developed and expanded.
But because of his previous misdeeds, even Zheng Yoga was on guard against him, let alone others.
In his previous life, if he had not gone to England, a place where no one knew him, to develop his career, Liu Datou would have only had assets of one or two billion US dollars at most, and would not have become the sixth super rich man in Hong Kong.
Without Xiao Qi's guidance in his previous life, Liu Datou went to England himself in order to seek a breakthrough.
Now he thinks Xiao Qi is a good business strategist, so he really wants to discuss the pros and cons of going to the UK with Xiao Qi.
"We in Hong Kong have been under the rule of the British for nearly 100 years after all. Both our thinking and the way we do business are inextricably linked to the British. So Qi Shao, you suggested that we develop into the British market. I immediately
It feels like a broad door has opened before me." After sighing, Liu Datou continued to talk about his thoughts: "The UK has a population of 60 million and an area of nearly 250,000 square kilometers. It is an old-style capitalist country with a developed economy.
People’s living standards are very good. Prices are similar to those in Hong Kong. In my opinion, this is a Hong Kong that has expanded more than 200 times! As long as you adapt a little and adapt to the British market, you can definitely make money in the UK!”
After a pause, he smiled again: "It's not just the Chinese who like houses, but also the rich people in the UK. If it weren't for the incompatibility with the American market, I would have been ready to go to the United States! Americans' desire for land,
Better than the Chinese, right? At least I know that there is an American super rich man who owns more than 2 million acres of land, which adds up to 10,000 square kilometers!"
Xiao Qi nodded and said, "Mr. Liu is a smart man. I think your move will work."
"You think so, Mr. Qi?" Liu Datou said calmly: "Then are you interested in making money from the British with me?"
"Huh?" Xiao Qi was stunned.
"I mean, since Qi Shao also thinks it's interesting, let's set up a company together and go to England to make money!" Liu Datou clenched his fists: "Although I'm not as powerful as Li Chaoren and the others, they are old now.
I am energetic, but I can be proactive and will definitely bring the most generous benefits to the company!"
Xiao Qi laughed dumbly, "Mr. Liu, why do you think I will believe you?"
"Because no one would mind having too much money, especially when making money from foreigners." Liu Datou said seriously: "I once studied Qishao's business in the mainland, and I found that your real estate business basically makes small profits.
A model of high sales, not caring about the unit price at all. This goes against the high prices of your dreampad and dreamstars.
The only reasonable explanation for these two contradictory phenomena is probably that you feel that making real estate money in China is a bit disgraceful and dirty, right? But when you come to the UK, you won't have such scruples! Because foreign countries
If you don’t make money, you won’t make it in vain. Whether they live in dire straits or not, it has nothing to do with you.”
"Pa bang bang..."
Xiao Qi clapped his hands and said, "I have to say, Mr. Liu, your observation skills are very strong! Now that I have said that, I am also a little interested, but there is still one biggest question."
Liu Datou said without hesitation: "If you have any questions, Mr. Qi, please tell me!"
"How can you guarantee that I won't become a stepping stone for you like your partners? Or that the profits will be swallowed up by you directly, and the losses will be borne by me?" Xiao Qi said slowly: "I can trust you.
Li Chaoren, but I can’t trust you!”
If anyone dared to speak to Liu Datou like that, he would definitely flip the table and fall out.
But it was Xiao Qi who spoke. Even Li Chaoren did not dare to say that he was willing to fall out with Xiao Qi, let alone a young rich man whose wealth was one percent less than Xiao Qi's.
Besides, what Xiao Qi said was not a lie, but a very profound fact.
After pondering for a while, Liu Datou gave a bitter smile: "I am a bit selfish and like to use some small tricks. But Qi Shao, this also has to be divided between people. I definitely don't dare to be disrespectful to Uncle Zheng, so naturally I will
I don’t even dare to play tricks in front of you. Because I know that no matter how I make money, I can never be stronger than you! When dealing with a strong person who is stronger than me, I can only be in awe and dare not make any small moves."
"You are sincere." Xiao Qi smiled, "Tell me carefully, how do you want to partner with me?"
"That's what I think." Liu Datou said: "My brother and I control 70% of the shares of Huaren Real Estate. We are going to use this part of the shares as collateral to borrow 1 billion US dollars from Qishao. Then
Qishao, you will invest another 2 billion US dollars to establish a new company. Our brothers will be responsible for the specific operations. In the end, the profit will be divided 40-60, four for us and six for you.
If possible, we also hope that you can help introduce your good friend, Mr. Branson, the richest man in the UK, and ask him to help make connections, and it is best to invest in our company. Of course, his profits are outside ours.
It will not affect the profit sharing between us."
What Liu Datou meant was that Xiao Qi only contributed money to invest, and he would do the rest.
He offered a 7% profit for his operations and manpower, which seemed high at first glance, but Xiao Qi knew that he was destined to shine, so this amount was not high at all.
However, Liu Datou not only wanted Xiao Qi's money, but more importantly, he wanted a stepping stone into the British real estate industry.
Richard Branson, chairman of Virgin, is involved in many projects in the UK, including real estate. Although it is not his main business, he at least has the foundation and connections to offset the resistance of many Hong Kong companies to invest.
mood.
Without Xiao Qi, Branson might not pay attention to Liu Datou.
With Xiao Qi's face, Branson would not care about him.
But Liu Datou focused on this aspect, but did not give Xiao Qi any benefit.
Xiao Qi knew that he would not be so simple. How could he not consider such a simple and easy-to-understand thing?
Obviously, Liu Datou was waiting for Xiao Qi to bring up this matter, and then agreed to follow suit, thereby hiding his true purpose.
What is Liu Datou’s real purpose?
Naturally, we have reached a cooperation with Xiao Qi!
If you think about it carefully, Liu Datou has produced nothing except labor!
The US$1 billion he invested was also dismantled from Xiao Qi!!
This means that Xiao Qi spent all the funds on his own and only got 60% of the profits, plus some negligible loan interest. He really lost a lot.
However, looking at Liu Datou who became slightly embarrassed because of Xiao Qi's silence, Xiao Qi did not expose his little thoughts.
"Let's do this." Xiao Qi said: "I will provide 5 billion US dollars, and you don't have to contribute any money. And I will be responsible for bringing Branson into the partnership, giving him 15% of the shares, and then you will also share 15% of the shares."
% shares, how about it?”
According to Liu Datou's original idea, he held approximately 1.2 billion in shares, and what Xiao Qi directly gave him was worth 750 million U.S. dollars, which was directly equivalent to Xiao Qi giving him 750 million U.S. dollars. The two were at odds.
However, since there are fewer shares, the profits will naturally be much less.
Liu Datou naturally doesn't know how much money he will earn from British real estate in the future, so just looking at this, which is equivalent to his net worth of 750 million US dollars, he is already salivating!
Xiao Qi smiled when he saw this.
Liu Datou's achievements in his previous life were almost 9 billion U.S. dollars. If Liu Datou's previous 40% share was used, Liu Datou could get a profit of about 3.6 billion U.S. dollars. But now based on 15% calculation, even if 750 million U.S. dollars of shares are added, he would still get a profit of about 3.6 billion U.S. dollars.
He only received 2.1 billion U.S. dollars, and Xiao Qi took the remaining 1.5 billion U.S. dollars.
Therefore, at first glance, it seems that Xiao Qi suffered a loss, but if we calculate the final results, Xiao Qi actually made a lot more.
"Your suggestion is very good, Mr. Qi." After pondering for a long time, Liu Datou raised his head and said, "I will go back and discuss it with my brother. I will give you a reply within a week at most. What do you think?"
"Okay." Xiao Qi nodded.
"Can I ask why you are willing to give me shares worth so much money?" Liu Datou couldn't help but ask.
"Because I think you are worth the price." Xiao Qi said with a smile: "People are not afraid of not having money, but they are most afraid of not being enterprising! If you are willing to go to the UK to make a living, I believe you can make a career in the world!" (To be continued, please search Gone with the Wind!
