Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 258 "257" Not enough money to acquire Mingxin Hospital? Guan Zusao's operation: support rate + citizen donations!

at night,

Peninsula Hotel.

A blue Bentley stopped at the gate of the Peninsula Hotel, and Guan Zu and Fang Ting got out of the car.

"You two find a place to eat, I'll pay for it."

Guan Zu said to Ah Xing and Li Jie.

"Okay, Zugo!"

Ah Xing drove the car to park and said to Li Jie who was sitting in the passenger seat: "Hehehe~~Brother Jie, this is public expense for eating and drinking. Let's go order something expensive later."

Li Jie had no expression on his face: “…………”

Ah Xing is in pain. Brother Jie is much more boring than Brother Fu. I want to work with Brother Fu.

Half an hour later, in the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel's Western restaurant.

"Bah, bah, bah~~~"

Ah Xing was eating a portion of what was said to be the legendary French royal foie gras, but when he took a bite, wow, it was so smelly and so disgusting!

I'm about to vomit.

"What the hell is wrong with them, making this thing sound like a delicacy?"

“It’s too disgusting, isn’t it?!”

Li Jie: “…………”

……

On one side, the private room of the Peninsula Hotel Chinese restaurant.

Guan Zu greeted Zheng Daheng in the box.

Zheng Daheng was dressed in a low-key manner, wearing an old suit and sneakers. But the energetic man behind him was tall and strong, wearing a well-tailored suit.

"Mr. Zheng, I have heard of you for a long time..."

"Mr. Guan..."

"This is my secretary, Fang Ting..." Guan Zu introduced Fang Ting. When Zheng Daheng was still wondering why Guan Zu introduced Fang Ting, Guan Zu said, "Her father is Fang Jinxin."

"Fang Jinxin? President Fang?" Zheng Daheng was stunned for a moment.

"That's him." Guan Zu smiled.

Zheng Daheng's expression suddenly became serious, and he shook hands tightly with Fang Ting: "Chairman Fang is highly respected and has helped our Chinese-funded enterprises a lot. I was also fortunate to meet him once and received his guidance."

Fang Ting's eyes were red: "Mr. Zheng, thank you for remembering my father."

Zheng Daheng sighed, "At that time, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which was controlled by foreigners, was making a lot of money. It was your father, Mr. Fang, who insisted on establishing the first Chinese stock exchange..."

"Later, Mr. Fang passed away, and I went to pay my respects."

Originally, Zheng Daheng and Guan Zu were having normal business exchanges, but because of Fang Ting's identity, Zheng Daheng suddenly became enthusiastic.

After learning about the follow-up of the Fang family, Zheng Daheng couldn't help but sigh.

I didn't expect the Fang family to fall to this point.

quickly,

The dishes were served and we ate and chatted at the same time.

Zheng Daheng is from Shunde, and his ancestral home is Xinhui. He has the same taste as Guan Zu, so the meal they had was naturally Cantonese food.

Fried stuffed tofu, boiled chicken, a few stir-fried dishes...

I also have my favorite steamed fish - steamed grouper and Shunde kohlrabi.

Zheng Daheng picked up a piece of steamed fish, put it into his mouth, and said:
"I heard from Brother Shen that you want to buy out his shares in Asia Television?"

"Yes, I wonder if Mr. Zheng is interested in selling his shares in ATV?" Guan Zu took the opportunity to strike.

"Haha, I have no intention of selling ATV shares for the time being. After all, with your "Millionaire", ATV is much better now than before, and its assets have appreciated a lot. I am more optimistic about it."

"Really? Then wouldn't I be shooting myself in the foot? Haha~~" Guan Zu laughed.

Zheng Daheng: "To some extent, it is true."

Guan Zu smiled and said, "No, Boss Zheng, you will definitely sell it."

I'm not afraid at all that you won't sell it.

You should start selling ATV shares by the end of this year at the latest.

There is no problem with the current financial situation of Zheng Daheng's company, but!
In the fourth quarter of 1991, a financial crisis will occur.

The reason was that after Zheng Daheng handed over part of the power to his eldest son, Zheng Dagongzi, Zheng Dagongzi began to carry out drastic reforms and then invested tens of billions of dollars in the mainland. However, the investment in the mainland was too slow to take effect, which in turn triggered a financial crisis at the headquarters in Hong Kong Island.

This crisis almost caused Zhou Xiaofu and New World to lose money.

The crisis has not yet occurred. When it occurs, Zheng Daheng can only take back the power of Mr. Zheng, and then sell ATV's shares to Lin Daheng at a lower price. At the same time, he also issued a bond that can be exchanged for shares, so that the Zheng Group can survive.

This time, Guan Zu will first build a good relationship with Lao Zheng, and then aim to acquire ATV shares in the fourth quarter when Zheng is in crisis.

Zheng Daheng was amused: "So confident?"

Guan Zu: "Can I ask, Mr. Zheng, how many shares of ATV do you have?"

Zheng Daheng: “47%!”

"Hiss~~~~~"

Guan Zu took a breath.

The information he collected was at most 20%-30% about Zheng Daheng. How come there was so much more all of a sudden?

Zheng Daheng said: "In 1989, Lao Lin and I cooperated to purchase Asia Television, each holding 47% of the shares... At that time, I served as the chairman of the TV station..."

Guan Zu calculated for a moment: "You and Boss Lin hold 94% of the shares in total, and Boss He only holds 6% of the shares?"

“So little.”

Zheng Daheng smiled and said, "Why? You think it's too little?"

Guan Zu nodded: "I want at least a little more."

Zheng Daheng: "A few days ago, Brother Shen told me about this and asked me who you were. At that time, I had never seen you and didn't know who you were."

Guan Zu: "What about now? What kind of person do you think I am?"

Zheng Daheng: "From what I can see, you are a very ambitious person. I am curious why you want to acquire the TV station."

Guan Zu: "Because I like TV. I work in movies, and I want to work in TV series, news, and variety shows... Now ATV is too bad. I have a lot of creative ideas, but it's a pity that the TV station is not mine."

Zheng Daheng: "It seems that you want to make drastic changes to ATV. It's not good to make big changes..."

He thought of his eldest son. Although he supported his eldest son's investment in the mainland, his eldest son was too ambitious and too radical, and might easily fall into trouble.

In this way, Guan Zu is very similar to his eldest son.

Perhaps because of Fang Ting, Zheng Daheng's attitude towards Guan Zu was more like that of instructing a junior. The chat was more casual and not so formal.

Guan Zu, however, did not think that the move was too big. He was accustomed to the trends of later TV stations. He always felt that the various programs on current TV stations were too rustic, too conservative, and too difficult to maintain. He could not stand it any more.

This is the difference in vision.

Zheng Daheng talked about Boss Li again: "It feels like you are deliberately targeting him every time?"

Guan Zu looked wronged: "No way, he is the big boss, how dare I mess with him on purpose."

Anyway, I will never admit it.

Because he knew that Zheng Daheng and Boss Li had a very good relationship.

Zheng Daheng said earnestly: "Although the business world is like a battlefield, if you can make money through harmony, then try to do so..."

Then he shared some stories about him and Boss Li.

"I'm not as busy as Mr. Li. He goes to work a little after 8 in the morning, while I go to work at 11, which is a big difference."

"We both like playing golf, but I don't really like playing with him now because he starts at 6am and I haven't even woken up yet!" "I'm at work now, in the office, and basically don't have to do anything. Just being there is enough. If anyone wants to see me, I can be there. He's running around the world all day long."

Guan Zu nodded, Zheng Daheng and Li Daheng did have two different management styles.

It was not until 2010 that Li Daheng truly gave up power.

Zheng Daheng began to truly delegate power in 1988.

The only pity is that Master Zheng is too...something. Not only did his investments fail miserably, but even his marriage had problems. Forget having three wives and four concubines. He can't even control one wife.

In later generations, his achievements in the business world were almost zero, and the only thing he was remembered for was his good relationship with Prince Charles.

Look at the eldest son of the Huo family. He went to Brunei alone and led the workers to develop Brunei's import and export trade. To put it in a broader sense, his contribution to Brunei was to directly bring the two countries closer together.

Eat till the end.

Zheng Daheng finally talked about Mingxin Hospital.

"Why do you want to acquire Mingxin Hospital?"

“Because I want to do good things.”

"what?"

Zheng Daheng always had a kind face as an old man, but he couldn't hold it anymore.

Zheng Daheng couldn't help but say, "You don't have to use this excuse. Who would donate all their wealth to charity? Let me tell you, hospitals don't make much money, and the investment is huge."

Guan Zu: "No, I am really doing charity. I don't plan to make money from it. Once I get the absolute controlling stake and clear out the board of directors, I will reform it and use all the profits to build charity beds (free beds specifically for the poor), and use part of it for research."

Zheng Daheng tactically retreats.

incredible.

"You're serious!"

"Yes, for real!"

Zheng Daheng's eyes changed when he looked at Guan Zu.

Looking at Guan Zu's many deeds, Guan Zu is not the kind of person who flatters others. Yes, I'm talking about you - the one who flatters Mr. Cha!

Guan Zu is a man of courage and has a very strong foundation in doing things.

If Guan Zu said that he was doing good deeds, then he was really doing good deeds.

"Haha~~ Since you want to do good deeds, I won't take away what is good for you."

Zheng Daheng suddenly felt that it was not a bad idea to help Guan Zu.

Anyway, he didn't have a particularly strong opinion about Mingxin Hospital.

Guan Zu was surprised: "Really?"

Zheng Daheng laughed openly and said, "In my eyes, Mingxin Hospital is not irreplaceable. Since you said you want to use it for charity, how can I take it away from you?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Zu quickly picked up his glass and toasted: "Thank you, Mr. Zheng!"

Drink it all in one gulp.

No matter what, Guan Zu must accept this favor.

Zheng Daheng pointed out: "Even if I don't participate, Mr. Li from the Henderson Group and the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals are both strong opponents. You can't underestimate them."

Guan Zu nodded.

However, since the matter had already come to this point, Guan Zu took the opportunity to ask curiously, "I wonder how much Mr. Zheng originally wanted to bid?"

"9 million at most, I'll let it go if it's more!"

"Based on Mr. Zheng's understanding of Mr. Li, how much will he offer?"

"He can only make 9.5 million at most, any more will be a loss... As for the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, I don't know. They are a charity and can use donations to buy it out."

Guan Zu was shocked: "What? Can we use the charity money?"

This is a bit shameless!

Zheng Daheng: "Of course, they are a charity, and all their profits are donations."

Guan Zu's eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean... I can also use donations to buy it? I also have a charity foundation!"

Open your mind!!
Zheng Daheng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but said with a smile: "How much money does your charity have?"

Guan Zu: "It's estimated to be around 200 million, because the expenses are too high."

Zheng Daheng smiled and said, "That's right. 200 million yuan in donations is useless."

Guan Zu laughed: "Mr. Zheng, you are wrong. I only have 200 million in donations, but there are 40 residents in Wan Chai!"

40 people, 50% support rate, half of that is 20 people, minus the children, there are 15 left, each person donates 100, 1500 million... not enough...

Add the 24 people in the Central and Western Districts, with a support rate of 31%, and excluding the children, it comes to 5.

The total amount is 20, and each person has to roll 500 to get 1 million.

Damn, the coverage population is still too small!

If my support rate can cover the whole of Hong Kong, with a population of 700 million, that would be 350 million people, and if each person donates 100, that would be 3 million.

Awesome!
Thinking about it makes me excited.

Forget it, I’ll try it tomorrow and donate as much as I can!
It doesn't matter how much money he can donate. He is just short of 100 million or 200 million, which he can use as collateral. It's not a big problem.

He mainly wanted to test the value of this support rate!
If you raise funds, how much can you raise?
We also conducted a drill to raise funds for the flood disaster in July.

"Mr. Zheng, please wait a moment. I'll make a call."

Guan Zu called Scott, the director of the Property Agency, and said, "Director Scott, I want to ask, when I bid tomorrow, can I include the donation from my foundation? Will the shares be split up in proportion then?"

Scott: "Yes, that's how Tung Wah Group of Hospitals operates. If you have it, you can do it, but remember to submit the information tomorrow morning. The auction time is 15:00 tomorrow afternoon."

Guan Zu: “No problem!”

After hanging up the phone, Guan Zu said to Fang Ting: "Tomorrow you take your people to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and submit the information."

Fang Ting nodded: "Okay."

Guan Zu called Ah Hua again: "Talk to Gao Qiu about printing flyers. Print and distribute flyers tonight. Before 23pm, notify all the residents in Wan Chai and Central and Western Districts to donate money tomorrow... I want to acquire Mingxin Hospital, but I don't have enough money. I hope all the residents will support me. If the acquisition is successful, the medical expenses of patients in Wan Chai and Central and Western Districts will be reduced by 10%. In addition, the company will distribute all profits as dividends, all for charitable purposes."

After explaining everything in detail for 10 minutes, he hung up the phone.

Then Guan Zu became worried again and asked Fang Ting to check it personally.

Guan Zu checked the time: "It is 19:30 now, and there are still three and a half hours until 23:3. Although the time is tight, it should be enough."

Fang Ting nodded and left quickly.

Not long after, Ah Xing drove Fang Ting to the Five Star Group.

Zheng Daheng was a little stunned when he saw Guan Zu making a decision in such a hurry.

I couldn't help but shake my head. How could things be done this way?

After Guan Zu finished giving his instructions, he apologized to Zheng Daheng: "I'm sorry, Zheng Daheng, for doing this during dinner time."

Zheng Daheng couldn't help but remind him, "It's too late now, there won't be enough time to notify many people, and the final donation percentage won't be that high."

He knew that getting citizens to donate money was extremely difficult. In short, it was difficult.

And is Guan Zu sure he won’t be beaten when he comes here in such a hurry?

Who doesn’t put in a good performance to raise funds nowadays?
This is too simplistic and crude for you.

Guan Zu smiled: "It's okay, as much as you can get..."

Zheng Daheng added: "Also, there is one more thing. Will the citizens believe your promises?"

Believe?

The residents of Wan Chai may not believe what other people say, but they will definitely believe what I, Guan Zu, say.

Everything depends on tomorrow!
