Chapter 142 Cooperation with the Confucius Family
"Of course, doing business is for sure. I invited my nephew here today to discuss business with my nephew. I don't know if my nephew's business can get a piece of my pie." Sure enough, he is a treacherous and cunning guy. For example, the issue of Great Wall home appliances. Compared with the Kong family's industries around the world, the retail of home appliances is probably a drop in the bucket.
"Hehe, the old man was joking. My property in Taiwan is not worthy of the old man's attention. I really need to invest in Taiwan. I don't know what kind of care the old man has?" Li Cong was temporarily unsure of what the old man wanted to do. , Do you want to sell oil in Taiwan? That must not work, Hongmen has already discussed with himself, and he has paid such a high price. In order to party with the strongest gang in Taiwan, he can't be double-faced. Brother, look, I can't mess around either.
"Originally, we planned to cooperate with you in the home appliance chain monopoly, but today I see that my nephew is so talented." What the hell are you talking about? You can see this within a few minutes of meeting? Sure enough, the businessmen were all talking nonsense with their eyes open, "I changed my mind, our Kong family doesn't care about that bit of property, since my nephew likes making home appliances, I gave you my Yangzi home appliance monopoly, just dozens of shops. "Now it's Li Cong's turn to be surprised, and the billions of dollars in business is just for himself? Sure enough, he has the demeanor of a wealthy family. According to estimates, there must be at least 4 billion yuan. There are really not many people who use 4 billion yuan to make friends. Looking at the old man Kong in front of him, Li Cong really looked at him with admiration.
In fact, the assets of the Kong family are now more than 300 billion yuan, and they own a large number of enterprises all over the world, but they have different agents. The only one who knows the total property of the Kong family is the old man in front of him. Even the US Central Intelligence Agency It is not the same. It is clear that four billion yuan is a lot of money in the eyes of others, but it is not so important in the eyes of old man Kong. If you can catch Li Cong's upcoming spaceship, the four billion yuan It will soon become eight billion, or even more. Kong Rende has always believed in his own vision, and this gamble will not go wrong.
"How embarrassing is this, old man Kong, the so-called not being rewarded for nothing, I am really embarrassed to accept such a big gift from you when I first came to Taiwan." I feel like I am evading it, but I have already accepted it. Li Cong just likes to take advantage of small advantages, but it also depends on what the old man's request is. If he really wants the oil franchise in Taiwan, I'm afraid I can't give it to him. After all, Huangfu Yu has been kind to him first.
It's time to talk, Kong Rende paid four billion yuan, and he has to say what he wants. Businessmen are like this, and there is a reward for every effort.
"It's like this. I know that my nephew's energy group is still expanding its production recently. I wonder if I can give me a share. My think tank reports that Samsung Group has surpassed it a year after working with you, my nephew. Hyundai Group has become the largest company in South Korea, and its profit has also increased by 40%. Although our Kong family does not have the strength of Samsung Group, we have much stronger connections in Southeast Asia and South Asia than Samsung Group, nephew Do you want to develop in these places?" As long as you are not from Taiwan, you can say it, but right now I really don't have the ability to squeeze out anything, but I can't spit out the meat I ate.
"Old man, India is the only major energy importer in South Asia. Brunei, Malaysia, and Indonesia in Southeast Asia are all oil exporters, and this region is also the domain of Royal Shell. It doesn't seem very good for me to insert it hastily." Li Cong The consideration is also in place. This region is relatively close to the Middle East. The Royal Shell Group is also a large group that has been established for hundreds of years. It has a very strong influence in the whole world. Is it possible to compete abroad? Woolen cloth.
Kong Rende glanced at Li Cong meaningfully, it seems that his conditions have not impressed him yet,
But this old guy was wrong. Li Cong didn't put so much thought into it. He just acted more sophisticated. Kong Rende thought of him as another businessman, and took this as a reason to bargain.
"Nephew, you don't have to worry about these things at all. You just need to sell us the oil, and our Kong family will take care of the rest. In addition, what do you think of this mountain hotel?" You have to pay if you want to impress people. Here Li Cong still doesn't quite understand, just talking about selling oil, why did it come to your restaurant again.
The hilltop bar in Taiwan can be said to be more famous than the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. The Kong family earns tens of millions of income every day by using it. If they meet a rich man who gambles, the income may be several times that. There is only one word for everything here, expensive.
However, people from both political and business circles in Taiwan like to come here to eat, stay, and have fun. Next to the mountaintop restaurant is a row of unopened huts, which are said to be the world's top luxury specialty stores. If they open for business, it is believed to be another new profit point.
"This hotel is very good, it's one of the best hotels I've ever seen." A casual answer, I still don't know what the old man wants to do, if he wants to give it to himself, the price is too high , has been in business for decades, besides, how much useful information will be obtained by having such a high-level social place, just this one is worth two billion more.
"If my nephew doesn't have a foothold in Taiwan, why not make this my home. By the way, apart from this one, there are similar ones in Singapore and Hong Kong. Let's give it to my nephew as a gift." In fact, Kong Rende is also very happy. I feel distressed, these three hotels, the American hotel king Hilton, once bid 2.5 billion US dollars, but they didn't sell them themselves. Now they are all cheaper, this kid, but I think that Samsung Group paid tens of billions of dollars to get a quota of 100 million tons. , these sacrifices are still worthwhile.
"I am really touched by the sincerity of the old man today." If you have more money, you will be more moved. "But how much share does the old man want?" Speaking of this, it would be too unreasonable if he didn't express anything. In fact, for Li Cong, a Yangzi appliance can defeat his heart. Now that there are a few more hotels, there is nothing to say.
"20 million tons, I know my nephew can't get too much of it at the moment, and my nephew's Sino-Ocean Group is responsible for the transportation." This old guy's appetite is not great, but 20 million tons can be squeezed out Yes, after all, the energy crisis is over now, and the domestic demand is not very large, but it seems that the Kong family's assets are really big, can I borrow money?
"This is not a problem, but I hope that the old man can do me a favor. Maybe this job is a bit difficult. I don't need to worry about it. If the old man is convenient, I hope that I can borrow 40 billion yuan from the old man." Qingshan is choking, what's the situation, you have just met him a few times and you have to borrow tens of billions from him, you are an old man who runs a money printing machine.
With these 40 billion, Li Cong can find a place to build a new base, but will Kong Rende agree? After all, this is not a small sum.
