Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Actually, pagers and mobile phones don't have very high technological content; the main thing is the chip. The Huo family is stockpiling chips.
To this end, they also utilized channels in Taiwan and South Korea, and all the money invested by the Huo family was used to stockpile chips!

In other words, the Huo family used shell companies in South Korea and Taiwan to purchase large quantities of chips and then transferred them to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

Actually, the solution is quite simple: when the cargo ship stops in Hong Kong for refueling, it can be reloaded with other supplies, such as chips, which can then be delivered to the Shenzhen factory. The cargo ship can then proceed to Taiwan and South Korea as normal. This is the solution that He Yuzhu and Huo Dashao came up with!
The construction of the factory area and headquarters building will take some time. During this period, the He family will be responsible for the construction, and the Huo family will use all the funds to store chips. After Shenzhou's own brand of pagers and mobile phones appears, they can also be imported.
If the other party tries to tighten its grip on chips and raise prices, we can activate our stockpile of chips as an emergency measure. Shenzhou's market is too big. Once the demand for chips increases significantly, the other party will definitely try to create various obstacles.

Of course, pagers and mobile phones were only popular for a few years. He Yuzhu has a completely new understanding of this, regarding the future…

"Brother Zhu, talent is key for a company like this. We don't have anyone capable of leading the way. Aren't you afraid of being held hostage?"

The Huo family provides a large number of talented people, but ultimately, the core technology still remains in the Huo family's hands. In business partnerships, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests!

"Hehe, honey, let me tell you, while top-notch talent is certainly important, and can even give you unexpected surprises at crucial moments, skilled workers are just as important!"

"Young Master Huo can indeed attract top talent and thus raise his price, but we can also attract skilled workers. We can't do without each other."
On the contrary, we can also find top-notch talent; those who studied abroad before will definitely be willing to come back, as long as we're willing to spend the money. And what about experienced workers?

He Yuzhu needs to win over the Huo family so that they can become an ally someday. However, he will not be without precautions. If the Huo family cooperates honestly, both families will be happy.
If any underhanded tactics are employed, He Yuzhu will be able to retaliate in the shortest possible time, and preparations for this have already begun!
The main body of the He family in the future will be a technology company. To develop technology, not only is a huge amount of capital investment needed, but also a large number of talents. Therefore, they have already made plans!
Songcheng's Longteng Security also has an information department that specializes in compiling information from places like Bald Eagle, especially top talents with Chinese heritage for He Yuzhu to personally screen!
"It's good that you know what's going on, Brother Zhu. We must be careful when dealing with scions of such powerful families!"

These people look kind, but kind people wouldn't have gotten to where they are now!

As Cai Qiuyue watched He Yuzhu associate with increasingly higher-level people, she felt uneasy, fearing that one day she would be schemed against by these people, unlike Shen Wansan of the Ming Dynasty and Hu Xueyan of the Qing Dynasty.

When you are useless, everyone wants to stay away from you, and even your parents will envy you!

When you have enough money, even the little dog at the edge of the village will come and wag its tail; this is naked human nature.
The He family made some money, but their network of connections also changed several levels. These people were definitely not doing it because of He Yuzhu or Cai Qiuyue, but because of money!

"What's wrong? Is the company having problems? Why do you say that?"

He Yuzhu looked at his wife with suspicion. Something seemed off. How to put it? She wasn't carefree; instead, she was cautious!

“A few days ago, a bank approached the He Group, hoping to provide a loan. Some people also believe that our He Group has already met the listing requirements and can fully plan for an IPO. It seems like there are more problems than we thought!”

Regarding the listing, Cai Qiuyue and He Yuzhu had already discussed it. After weighing the pros and cons, they unanimously decided that the existing core business should absolutely not be listed. Some branches could be planned for the future, but He's Hotel and He's Real Estate were not considered for the time being. Listing would definitely raise a lot of money, but in the future, they might have to be wary of market shocks, or even deep-sea giants.

Neither He Yuzhu nor Cai Qiuyue had any relevant background knowledge. If someone shorted or attacked He's stock market, they could easily lose years of hard work.
Especially for China now, the relevant stock market supervision is not very comprehensive, and going public rashly will expose it to unnecessary risks!

"No one can say we won't go public. The He Group is our foundation, and we absolutely cannot lose it."

If the pressure from above is too great, or even if Uncle Li intervenes, you can consider foreign trade companies and real estate companies.
"Ho's restaurants must never be listed on the stock exchange. That's the bottom line. Otherwise, I'd rather move the Ho Group headquarters to Hong Kong Island!"

He Yuzhu sighed. The obstacle had finally appeared. It seemed that the offshore company plan would have to start ahead of schedule. Right now, Uncle Li and Aunt Wang were protecting them, but what about later?

"Brother Zhu, are those two companies you mentioned before reliable? Should we try to find a solution from there?"

Cai Qiuyue was also helpless. Some people saw that He's business was booming and wanted to add some achievements to their own political career. But these people didn't think about it. Without effort, there would be no reward.

"Of course it's reliable. My idea is to transfer He Ying's household registration to Hong Kong Island, then establish the He family headquarters there, and have the Hong Kong He family headquarters control the shares of Shenzhou He family. What do you think of this idea?"

Putting aside the offshore company, it's feasible for He Ying to transfer her household registration to Hong Kong Island. After all, Hong Kong Island will be returned to China in ten years, so it doesn't count as giving up her Chinese citizenship. Most importantly, she will be protected!
"Wouldn't that be a bad idea? After all, Hong Kong Island is John Bull's sphere of influence. Won't we get criticized for doing this?"

Cai Qiuyue's concerns were not unfounded. If she did this, it could really cause trouble if it were taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives!
"Hehe, it's being done in secret. So what if people criticize? Who dares to say Hong Kong isn't part of China? Let's see which clowns jump out. I have a feeling the person who came to see you this time is not simple; we need to investigate!"

He Yuzhu always felt that the people who were eyeing He's Group were not simply trying to get it listed on the stock exchange, but had some ulterior motive!

"You mean someone did this on purpose? But we're just ordinary business people; we haven't caused any real harm to anyone else's interests!"

Cai Qiuyue couldn't understand why anyone would use official power to make things difficult for the He family. It was impossible; the He family restaurant had no rivals.

Real estate companies are even less likely to participate; everyone has a lot of business to do, and construction is booming all over the country, so they can't keep up!
"Hehe, that's interesting. Who knows? Let's check it out. If we have to talk about enemies, there really are some. Honey, weren't the Dong family and the Tao family from before?"

Hopefully it's not one of those two families; otherwise, the last few small fry from those two clans wouldn't even need to exist! (End of Chapter)
