We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?
Chapter 126 Water Company
Early in the morning, after breakfast, Luo Nianzhong felt refreshed and drove to the golf course in Deep Water Bay.
Last night, Luo Nianzhong not only fulfilled his wish to ride a horse, but also rode two horses in parallel. When one horse got tired, he would replace it with the other. It felt a bit like the ancient generals and cavalry fighting on the battlefield.
And judging from last night's performance, Luo Nianzhong can proudly say, "I am a heavy cavalryman."
The golf course in Deep Water Bay is not far from Luo Nianzhong's mansion. I came here today to play golf with an uncle and ask for help.
Luo Nianzhong really doesn't like golf very much. Just like horse racing, he rarely plays it and doesn't go there very often.
He felt that the time he had to spend on these two gentleman's sports would be better spent on his own woman.
However, these two sports are the favorites of the upper class in Hong Kong Island, and they are also the most common places to gather and discuss business.
So every time he made an appointment with someone, especially if it was an uncle, he liked to set the location in a place like this, and he couldn't escape it.
It was the same this time. Luo Nianzhong wanted to meet Sha Dantong for something, so he made an appointment with him.
They directly assigned the place and told Luo Nianzhong that he should accompany him to play two rounds.
How could Luo Nianzhong refuse? Whether it was a request from someone or the relationship between the two families, Luo Nianzhong could only nod in agreement.
When they arrived at the golf course, Shark Dantong had already arrived and was sitting under the cafe, drinking coffee and wiping his clubs, waiting for Luo Nianzhong's arrival.
From afar, he could see him talking to Zheng Jiachun who came with him from time to time, causing Zheng Jiachun to nod his head repeatedly, looking as if he had been taught something and looked like a pupil who made mistakes.
"Uncle Tong, what's going on? Are you not happy playing basketball? Why are you trying to teach Brother Chun a lesson?"
As soon as he walked in, Luo Nianzhong started teasing him, probably to help Zheng Jiachun resolve his embarrassment.
Sha Dantong, who heard the sound, looked over and saw Luo Nianzhong coming to him with a smile on his face and looked at him carefully.
“Good, neither humble nor arrogant, subtle yet sharp, steady, majestic, and elegant.
Your father would never have imagined that his son, who usually worries him, would become like this.
Brother Luo was blessed. Although he died young, God gave him such a wonderful descendant. If he knew it, he would be able to smile."
After reminiscing for a few words, Shark Dantong waved his hand, "Stop talking about this, how long has it been since you, brat, came to see me?
Why, you are avoiding me now that you are rich, are you afraid that I will borrow money from you? "
Knowing that he was joking, Luo Nianzhong didn't care, but thinking about it, this was the first time Luo Nianzhong had seen Sha Dantong.
During the Chinese New Year, Sha Dantong didn't go to visit him because he was not on Hong Kong Island. The last time he saw Shar Dantong was at the funeral of his cheap father.
"Uncle Tong, please stop teasing me. I won't lend money to anyone. How can you and I not lend it?"
After sitting down, he said even more generously, "Uncle Tong, just say it. I won't even need you to give me a receipt for a billion or eighty million."
"You brat, are you holding my seven inches? I know your uncle Tong doesn't like this, right?"
What Shartong dislikes most about doing business is annexing other people's businesses and borrowing other people's money.
He believes that companies are like children, and annexing other people's companies is like taking away other people's children.
Therefore, when he was in charge of New World, New World did not acquire a company that was still operated by others.
Later, New World's massive expansion was all done by Zheng Jiachun after he came to power. He also caught up with the bad stock market and almost brought New World Group into it. In the end, it was retired Sha Biantong who stepped in to stabilize the group.
As for borrowing money, he believes that borrowing money from friends is draining their relationship.
So even when the New World Group was in crisis, he chose to sell properties, bank loans, etc., without speaking to his old friends.
Luo Nianzhong chuckled and changed the topic. "What happened just now? I see you are lecturing Brother Chun again. You are always too harsh on Brother Chun."
“It’s not like this brat wants to borrow money from the bank to take over Australia’s second-largest water company.
You know me, it is impossible for me to acquire other companies, this is my principle."
"Water company?" Luo Nianzhong looked at Zheng Jiachun.
"Yes, it is Australia's second-largest Western Environmental Corporation. They control the water supply and wastewater treatment throughout Western Australia.
Because the parent company's investment failed, most shareholders are now interested in selling their shares. If they can win, they can become the largest shareholder and control the right to speak."
When Luo Nianzhong heard this, he thought this was an opportunity, because the tap water on Hong Kong Island was supplied by Rabbit, so he did not think of this industry.
Now after hearing Zheng Jiachun talk about the water company, Luo Nianzhong feels that there is a lot to do.
The current industry giants control water services in Europe, the United States and other countries, and have not yet begun to expand into Asia and South America. This is an opportunity for Luo Nianzhong.
Not to mention anything else, Veolia Water Company, a subsidiary of Vivendi, made a profit of 10 billion in Rabbit every day at its peak.
But they did not make great efforts to improve technology by making money from the Chinese people.
A very simple example, tap water in Europe and the United States can be drunk directly, but rabbit tap water can only be boiled and drank.
Almost all water plants say that their water is qualified, but qualified refers to the qualified water from the factory, not the qualified water entering the home.
Because Rabbit's tap water network pipes are all cast iron pipes and cement pipes, which are easy to rust, scale, and breed bacteria.
After these foreign water companies bought urban water companies at several times higher prices and entered the rabbit market, they only thought about how to make money and were not willing to spend money on improvements.
In the 21st century, most cities still use the first-generation tap water treatment technology that was developed more than 100 years ago.
For example, the second-generation activated carbon adsorption treatment technology that appeared in the 1950s is not even used in half of the cities, let alone the third- and fourth-generation technologies.
Since foreign water giants are only out for profit, why can't Luo Nianzhong replace them?
As long as we capture the mainland and Southeast Asian markets, we can become one of the world's top water giants, and we don't have to worry about tap water being stuck.
And you can just tie the New World to your own chariot. It is impossible for a family or a company to make all the money, and it is impossible for the government to let you do this.
Therefore, if you want to form a huge industrial network that penetrates all walks of life, you need more families to participate.
And the industries of these families can be related to many small industries to form a huge industrial chain.
This is also the reason why Luo Nianzhong handed over the hotel and power industry to the Kadoorie family. Now is an opportunity to bind the new world.
Thinking of this, Luo Nianzhong looked at Sha Dantong and said, "Uncle Tong, I can't agree with your point of view.
You have your business principles, but you can't impose your set of things on Brother Chun.
Sooner or later, the new world will be handed over to Brother Chun. He has been educated in new ideas and is definitely different from you elders. I think this is an opportunity.
After all, no one knows what the shopping mall environment will be like in a few decades, right?
Why don't you let Brother Chun practice his skills with Australia's Western Water Company? You can also see the results, right?
And I am also very interested in this industry. How about I also join in? If you think it’s not possible in the future, can you sell this business to me?”
Luo Nianzhong's words are still worth taking seriously by Sha Dantong. After all, Luo Nianzhong's business achievements lie here.
After thinking about Luo Nianzhong's statement, Shark Dantong felt that what he said made sense.
He is not young anymore, and the company will be handed over to his son sooner or later. This is really an opportunity to see what the heir can do in his own right.
This is also the case in history. After he handed over New World to Zheng Jiachun, New World began various acquisitions and expansions, but he did not interfere.
Thinking of this, Sha Dantong looked at Zheng Jiachun's family and compromised, "Okay, I agree, but this company is not affiliated with New World Group."
After saying that, he looked at Luo Nianzhong and said, "Besides, Ah Zhong, you want to take the lion's share."
"no problem". Luo Nianzhong couldn't get it.
Hearing Luo Nianzhong's cheerful agreement, Shark Dantong waved his hand, "Don't be in a hurry to agree. You know, New World's funds are now in New World Center and Shatin New Town, so it is impossible to spend too much money to support Jiachun."
"so.". After saying that, Sha Dantong made a helpless expression.
Luo Nianzhong didn't know what to say to his scoundrel.
Will Sha Dantong be out of money? Not to mention anything else, Chow Tai Fook's liquidity is very sufficient, and there is no problem in getting hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars out of it.
"Uncle Tong, you are just trying to get away with nothing."
"You brat, who asked you to speak for him? You have to pay some price, right?"
Okay, what else can Luo Nianzhong say? Looking at Zheng Jiachun who expressed gratitude to me, why is it always me who gets hurt?
