In Gao Xian's view, the outbreak of business crisis in Hutchison, one of the four major foreign firms in Xiangjiang, is doomed, because Hutchison's big class Qi dezun is too superstitious about "big but not dead". He only sees the expansion opportunities brought by the world economic recession triggered by the global oil crisis, but does not fully assess the real risks in this cycle.
After receiving the news, Gao Xian did not rush back to Xiangjiang, but asked his subordinates to pay attention to collecting relevant information, and he continued to finish his inspection of Lucas film company.
According to Gao Xian's plan, "Star Wars" will not only make money, but also drive at least one additional achievement, that is, a set of computer special effects system, including minicomputer hardware and software platform, as well as general special effects technology that can be used in film and television production.
Gao Xian's requirements are quite practical. As long as this achievement can achieve the effect of foolishly throwing sword Qi everywhere in the new Shushan swordsman shot by Xu Ke in the early 1980s in the "old script".
We have to admit that the United States is indeed at the forefront in this field. The whole work road map is clear and clear. As long as the capital chain continues, it can be completed at the same time as the production of Star Wars.
Seeing nothing wrong, Gao Xian returned to his home in Toronto.
Big Mo and little mo, two silly dogs, found their master in the yard and ran and jumped to please.
Watching her husband feed two huskies with dog food, Yi Huirong asked curiously, "Heji is in a mess. I thought you went directly from San Francisco to Xiangjiang."
Gao Xian said with a smile, "it's important to remember where he has to accompany his wife and son."
Yi Huirong turned her eyes. "Do you just reply to the waiting Heji class to pray for De Zun?"
Gao Xian hit a ha ha, "of course, there are some urgent tasks here that have not been handled."
Yi Huirong reminded: "many of Hutchison's businesses, such as ports, have always been the exclusive financial resources of the British. If you want to take over, you can't do it only with abundant funds."
"Madam is very reasonable." Gao Xian clapped his hands and walked into the living room, "so I'll wait and see what the attitude of various forces related to interests is."
After Gao Xian washed his face, Yi Huirong said: "I heard from my father that Qi dezun of Heji Daban hoped that Heji would raise the funds needed to tide over the current financial crisis by means of a rights issue, but Huifeng bank was unwilling and asked Qi dezun to resign from the position of Heji Daban first."
"If I were you, I'm not satisfied with Qi dezun's performance in the position of Heji senior class in recent two years." Gao Xian said faintly: "Before, Qi dezun borrowed a large amount of money from me. As long as you plan carefully, you can completely avoid today's situation. But look at the current Heji, there are more than 300 companies under the whole group, which are as bloated as before. It's not too much to describe Qi dezun's inaction."
Yi Huirong looked at her husband's annoyed look. Her eyes glittered with wisdom and joked, "Qi dezun didn't prepare for you to take over and remember."
"That's not true." Gao Xian sighed. "Whoever takes over must first reduce staff by a large margin and completely close the subsidiaries with poor performance. It's an offensive job! It seems that I can only use the brains of Huangpu dock."
Yi Huirong thought: "is Kwai Chung container terminal 4 in Huangpu dock about to be opened?"
"It's estimated that next year." Gao Xian took his son, looked at him carefully and replied thoughtfully, "I know what you're worried about, but the situation in Xiangjiang is different from before. Subtle changes are beginning to take place in the key areas that Chinese capital can't enter. I'm still very sure to eat crabs."
……
As the news about Hutchison continues to gather, the outline of the causes and consequences of its business crisis is also clear in Gao Xian's eyes.
How to say, time and luck, this mysterious thing is sometimes really crucial.
Since the 1970s, there have been too many unpredictable changes in the international economic order, such as the rise and fall of currency exchange rates after the collapse of the Bretton Woods system.
The fixed exchange rate rules under the Bretton Woods system equate the US dollar with gold, but the United States keeps printing money, which has led to the official price of US $35 per ounce of gold being untrue. In a disguised form, the allies of the United States have been sucked by the United States.
As a result, as soon as the Bretton Woods system collapsed, the western developed capitalist countries adjusted their exchange rate policies from time to time according to their own interests, which is dazzling.
At this time, a strong currency, that is, a currency that can play a safe haven role, is particularly favored.
Needless to say, the name of Swiss bank is not generally loud. Accordingly, it is not difficult to understand that the legal tender of Switzerland - Swiss franc is a strong currency.
Hutchison, which has many international businesses, borrowed a considerable amount of Swiss Franc to avoid the risk of international exchange rate turbulence after the collapse of the Bretton Woods system.
As a result, the tragedy happened. The exchange rate of the Swiss Franc suddenly rose sharply, which made it impossible for Hutchison to sell iron. It's strange that there is no financial crisis!
In this regard, Gao Xian is speechless. Heji only bet on the rise and fall of one end. NIMA is also called risk avoidance? You think you are PetroChina!
However, Qi dezun's response to this Hutchison class is still old-fashioned. Hutchison is large enough and cannot go bankrupt. As long as shareholders are willing to give blood transfusion, creditors are willing to delay the repayment time, and it is not a problem to get through the current difficulties, nor do they reflect on the whole Hutchison. As far as the current state is concerned, it is a bottomless pit.
Huifeng bank, as the shareholder representative, asked Qi dezun to hand over the control of Hutchison and get out.
To tell the truth, Gao Xian doesn't want to see Huifeng bank take over Hutchison completely, because Huifeng bank is invincible in Xiangjiang at this stage, and it is impossible to say that there are difficulties, while Qi dezun is an object that can be properly handled and squeezed for benefits.
Gao Xian is pondering over the doorway. Qi dezun and Huifeng bank sent a notice almost at the same time. Hutchison will hold a clapping meeting soon. Will Gao Yi continue to be attended by Gao Xian's subordinates or Gao Xian himself?
"This is to urge me to go back to the Xiangjiang River." Gao Xian muttered to himself, looking at his son crawling mischievously on the sofa.
After a little thought, Gao Xian replied to Qi dezun alone and told him the specific time of returning to Xiangjiang.
Sure enough, Gao Xian didn't expect. After his flight landed at Xiangjiang Qide airport, Qi dezun, the troubled Heji class, and Gao Xian's subordinates came to meet him.
There is no sense of condescending and humbling. Qi dezun must seize the last glimmer of hope and contact Gao Xian with strong financial resources privately in advance.
Just after sitting in the car, Qi dezun went straight to the theme and said, "David, as long as you support me and remember to get through the current difficulties, it won't be a problem."
Gao Xian asked instead, "what is Huifeng bank's attitude?"
Qi dezun said angrily, "those guys of Shen Bi just want me to step down and give up the control of Hutchison."
