Hong Kong Ding is the only power supply company in Hong Kong Island, serving millions of citizens and hundreds of thousands of companies and institutions. The profit after tax reached 820 million Hong Kong dollars in 1982, and it is a real chicken that can lay golden eggs.

If Land is not in crisis, debt ratio and cash turnover, it is impossible for such a company with stable profits and abundant profits to fail.

The successful acquisition of this company by Li Chaoren also caused the Li Group's stock price to rise against the trend, with an average increase of about 20%. The Hong Kong Lights taken over by Li Chaoren also caused its stock price to rise by nearly 30%, which shows how high the people's confidence in him is.

...

Seeing that Li Chaoren took another battle, the power of the Li Consortium was further expanded, but Defeng, the bidding company, was repeatedly frustrated, and the ship king Bao Jinshui could not sit still, so he begged to Li Chaoren.

...

"Mr. Ye, the ship king Bao Jinshui asked me to pass on a message in the middle. He hopes to meet you and talk about the acquisition of Hui Defeng." Just as the competition was intensifying, Ye Jin suddenly received another call from Li Chaoren.

"What's there to talk about? The acquisition depends on his ability. Does he still expect me to make concessions?" Ye Jin said disdainfully when he heard this.

His acquisition is obviously the upper hand now. He has grabbed 15% of the 30% of the shares circulated by Huidefeng, which is higher than John Maden's holdings.

In this case, he would not withdraw at all. Moreover, Bao Jinshui is not as proud as him.

"Mr. Bao didn't dare to think so." Li Chaoren smiled, "He just wanted to acquire it together with you."

"Carry together?!" Ye Jin was slightly stunned when he heard this.

He has done this kind of joint acquisition more than once. Last time he cooperated with Li Chaoren to acquire He Huang, and this time he cooperated with Li Chaoren to acquire Hong Kong Ding. The ending was quite satisfactory.

However, he was able to cooperate with Li Chaoren and acquire it together because he was also the major shareholder of Cheung Kong. Over the years, Li Chaoren has never owed him in dividends, dividends, etc., and thus he has accumulated a certain amount of trust.

On the contrary, he and Bao Jinshui had no friendship.

Although Bao Jinshui has a high reputation in the business world of Xiangjiang and is a respected senior who is respected by everyone. But as the saying goes, knowing people but not the heart.

Huidefeng is involved in hundreds of billions of profits. Even fathers and sons, husbands and brothers may not be able to trust so much money. Just like Li Jinliang from Jishentang, who completely ignored the family affection for his family, wanted to dominate the money for tens of billions of dollars. This shows how fragile human nature is in the face of interests.

Ye Jin was worried about Bao Jinshui and was cautious about cooperating with him.

"Forget it, I don't have money myself, why should I cooperate with others?" he said with a smile, "Mr. Li, I only give you face."

"Thank you for your kindness. But I suggest you talk to Mr. Bao well." Seeing that Ye Jin was very disdainful of the cooperation, Li Chaoren quickly advised.

"The money is not as rich as you when it comes to money. But it is not as good as yours in terms of connections, fame, and power." He explained, "It is better to make friends with people like this than to offend them. After all, the money in this world is endless, and it is not worth offending him for temporary benefits."

After hearing what he said, Ye Jin frowned and felt that what he said was somewhat reasonable.

Bao Jinshui started to engage in the freight industry in the 1940s, and now for more than 30 years, the accumulated connections and reputation are extremely profound, and it is indeed not to be underestimated.

Although Ye Jin is not afraid of offending him, then again, if he can achieve a win-win situation, who is willing to offend others more?

"Okay, if he wants, then come to me and I will talk to him in person. If we can reach an agreement, we will cooperate. If we get tired of meeting each other, we can only apologize." Ye Jin thought for a while and said.

When Li Chaoren heard this, he nodded.

...

Two days later, Bao Jinshui appeared in front of Ye Jin.

When Ye Jin saw his arrival, he was also a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Bao Jinshui was really eager to cooperate and actually rushed over from Xiangjiang.

"Mr. Bao, I'm so embarrassed to travel across the ocean." He apologized first, "If I didn't have to walk away from filming, I'll go back to Xiangjiang to see you."

"Mr. Ye, you don't have to be polite. I took the initiative to ask for cooperation with you, so I should have come here for granted." Bao Jinshui waved his hand and smiled.

"Yes, I see your sincerity." Ye Jin smiled, "Come on, please sit down."

"Thank you." Bao Jinshui nodded and then sat down, "Mr. Ye, you must know the purpose of my visit."

"Yes, Mr. Li told me that you want to cooperate with me and acquire Hui Defeng together." Ye Jin smiled, "However, I don't know the specific details of the cooperation. I don't know how Mr. Bao plans to cooperate?"

"Mr. Ye, my idea is that we two join forces to jointly invest and acquire half of the shares, and I will send someone to manage them." Bao Jinshui immediately explained, "I guarantee that there will be dividends and dividends every year. And all your expenses will be borne by the company."

Ye Jin smiled slightly when he heard this.

A wealthy man like him, who spends a year of food, clothing, housing, transportation, daily consumption, security and medical care, costs about 100 million Hong Kong dollars. It is considered to be more sincere to be borne by Hui Defeng.

However, if the company is handed over to Ye Jin to manage, these expenses can also be paid by the company. Therefore, this is not a favorable treatment. Ye Jin doesn't care about taking advantage of that little bit of advantage.

"Mr. Bao is indeed very sincere, but to be honest, I don't care about this benefit." Ye Jin waved his hand and smiled, "Mr. Bao, if you want to cooperate with me, it's better to let me invest in your company."

Bao Jinshui was stunned when he heard this, "Mr. Ye, do you want to invest in my company?"

"Yes. Huidefeng is the opportunity I finally found to make a fortune. If I have exclusive access, I will be able to enjoy all the benefits in the future. But now since you want to add a share, I have to find a way out for the extra funds." Ye Jin nodded, "I think your company has quite potential, so why don't you share some stocks with me, right?"

Bao Jinshui hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mr. Ye, I can give you 10% of Global Shipping Co., Ltd.."

"Ten percent of global shipping?!" Ye Jin blinked, "It's still thirteen percent of Hutchison Whampoa. I really have no interest in the navigation industry."

Global shipping is now in recession due to the oil crisis, and I don’t know when it will recover. Now that we have invested in Global Shipping, we don’t know how long it will take to recover our capital.

"A maximum of 8% of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa." Bao Jinshui waved his hand.

"Okay, 8% of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa, but you have to ensure that I join the board of directors. In addition, plus 10% of the shares of United Real Estate." Ye Jin said again.

United Real Estate, also a listed company under Bao Jinshui, is mainly engaged in real estate development.

Bao Jinshui hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth, "Okay, one word is certain."
