Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 289 The ambition to surprise the boss

  The courtyard is actually very simple. Dong Hua took the two to look at it and said, "The house has a history of more than 30 years. After my late father bought it, it was not rebuilt.

  Tao Zhiming came over to see the environment and the area of ​​​​the place, and he was actually very satisfied.

   No matter where it is placed, land is a scarce resource, not to mention in this fragrant island where an inch of land is worth an inch of gold?

   Entering the room, Tao Zhiming asked, "Uncle Dong, are these furniture also counted?"

   "It depends on Mr. Tao's needs. In fact, it wasn't purchased by my late father. It was specially built by the previous generation's owner at that time, using good wood."

  Tao Zhiming nodded. It turned out that it was not a family heirloom. He looked up and down the rooms and asked with a smile, "It's never been renovated?"

"It was also the work of a master craftsman back then, and there was no problem with the structure at all." Dong Hua looked at the young man and said with a smile, "Mr. Tao is not too old, and if you think the style here is old-fashioned, you need to spend some effort to transform it completely. It’s okay to renovate once and add some equipment.”

"It's good." Tao Zhiming returned to the living room on the first floor and sat on the red rosewood sofa he mentioned, "It seems that the things that are still left here can be put down together. Uncle Ho Said the total price is more than ten million, Dong Bo, the exact number, how much do you want to sell?"

Dong Hua looked at the room with a complicated expression, and then said: "The average price of Xiangdao has exceeded 11,000 yuan, and it is still rising. I am ashamed to say that I am not capable enough to keep my father's purchase. Mr. Tao, since he is a friend introduced by Uncle Huo, I will say it directly. Although everyone says that this house has bad feng shui, if it is less than 12 million, I can only think of other ways. "

  Tao Zhiming nodded simply: "Okay. 12 million, I have it. I don't care about Feng Shui."

   "Mr. Tao...Are you sure?" Dong Hua didn't expect him to be so quick, and he didn't pay the price.

   "If the formalities are complete, Dong Bo wants to get the money today. Of course, I don't know a lot of people here in Xiangdao, and the people who go through the formalities need Dong Bo's help to say hello to speed up."

   "Today?" Dong Hua looked at the old clock in the living room, it was almost four o'clock.

   But thinking that the time is already the end of October, it is indeed a day earlier. He pondered for a while, and then asked again: "If I can go through the formalities today, will Mr. Tao get the money?"

   Tao Zhiming nodded, and then said to Zhao Yuanxi: "Old Zhao, go and help me with it, I'll write a check."

   Dong Hua saw that he took the checkbook and pen that Zhao Yuanxi took out of his bag, and wrote it here. The cheque book was made payable to Sumitomo Bank.

   Looking at this situation, I really want to buy it. Dong Hua also called to the side and asked his brother to come over.

   After a while, Dong Hua returned to the sofa and looked at Tao Zhiming who had signed the check: "Mr. Tao, do you need to check the house and deed again?"

   "No." Tao Zhiming said with a grin, "I trust Huo Bo and Dong Bo. Besides, Lao Zhao will check the specific procedures."

  Refreshing and sophisticated, this is Dong Hua's impression of him. Of course, as Uncle Huo said, he is rich.

Thinking of Uncle Huo's background, Dong Hua couldn't help but ask: "If you call me uncle, I'll be a little older. Tao Sheng, I heard Uncle Huo say that you worked in Tokyo as a bank jointly established by Mitsui and Sumitomo. President?"

  Tao Zhiming thought that Huo Yingdong had found it, and it seemed that his circle of contacts was indeed ridiculously wide.

"yes."

  Dong Hua looked at him in disbelief: "Tao Sheng, you are a young and handsome man. Uncle Huo was shocked when he learned about your situation. It was unknown last year, how suddenly..."

   "It's just a coincidence." Tao Zhiming didn't go into details, but the result was more important. He brought the topic directly to what Dong Hua really cared about, "Uncle Dong, do you want to find some loans for OOCL?"

Dong Hua was silent for a while, and then said: "I know that it is very difficult with the current debt situation of OOCL. I heard that Neon has a lot of money now, but there is no good way, and secondly, OOCL can take out the mortgaged assets. Running out."

"I don't own a lot of shares in Sanyou Bank. And the main direction of this bank is not in the mature industry of shipping." Tao Zhiming looked at him, "But if Dong Bo really wants to find a bank loan from Neon , I can help introduce the chairman of Sumitomo, and I can say a few words."

   "Really?" Dong Hua looked at him a lot in his heart, "Let Uncle Dong be the host tonight, and I'll take care of you!"

   "It's an honor." Tao Zhiming's attitude was very modest, "There are many aspects to ask you for advice."

"Where, I admire Tao Sheng's ability quite a bit. He can easily take out 12 million yuan in cash in such a short period of time, and he still relies on himself. There are not many such people in the whole Xiangdao." Dong Hua is telling the truth.

   "12 million, is Dong Bo borrowing money to help the company to solve his immediate needs?" Tao Zhiming asked succinctly.

   Dong Hua smiled bitterly: "Yeah, there is interest to be paid, and the loan is due soon. If not, why would you sell the house that your late father bought?"

  Tao Zhiming thought about it and said, "Neon people are not very efficient, especially for a company like OOCL in Xiangdao, the process will be very long. Dong Bo, how big is the short-term funding gap?"

  Dong Hua saw that he cared about this, and he was uncertain about his intention for a while, but he still said: "Before the end of the year, it is the safest to be able to raise 500 million Hong Kong dollars. It is really impossible, at least 250 million!"

   "I heard that Uncle Huo invested 120 million yuan, is it still not enough?" Tao Zhiming finally realized his situation, "Then selling this house, isn't it just a drop in the bucket?"

"There is no way, and many friends advised me to give up. However, there are still tens of thousands of people who rely on OOCL to eat." Tung Chee-hwa said solemnly, "Actually, I have been in contact with some banks in Neon before, but they have not yet Negotiable. They refuse to accept loans and want to hold shares. Our Dong family is no longer a major shareholder of OOCL, and if the shares decrease, it will become more and more troublesome for us to save our ancestral property.”

Tao Zhiming could hear that he might understand what he meant, so he smiled and said: "The debt ratio is too high, it is really difficult to get a loan. Neon's consortium wants to take advantage of the rising purchasing power of neon yen to enhance the purchasing power of high-quality assets. This kind of thinking It's understandable. Uncle Dong, the only thing you're afraid of is that the newcomers don't agree with you, right?"

   Dong Hua smiled and said nothing.

"The loan interest rate of neon yen has indeed been lowered now, which is a good choice." Tao Zhiming thought about it and simply pointed out, "Uncle Dong, I have the money you need. You can invest in shares, or you can add shares and personal loans. I opened a trading company in Xiangdao, and I need to cooperate with shipping companies in the future."

   "...You have 500 million Hong Kong dollars?" Dong Hua was really surprised this time.

  500 million Hong Kong dollars, if you change it into neon yen, it will be nearly 10 billion yen. This is cash, not assets.

  Tao Zhiming just smiled and said, "Uncle Dong, you can think about it. It's enough to entrust my shares and voting rights to you. I believe in your ability, and I won't ask about business decisions, just check the financial situation regularly."

   Dong Hua couldn't help but ask, "Tao Sheng, how much do you know about OOCL and me?"

   He felt that this decision was too outrageous, didn't he just know it? Uncle Huo obviously didn't know him before, so he needed to ask his friends about his situation.

Tao Zhiming thought that I knew a lot about you, but at this moment he could only say: "Actually, through the appreciation of neon yen, I made some money in the foreign exchange market. You can rest assured that the money is very clean. I I feel that this money is a number in my hand, and it is valuable when it is spent in the right place. I have also heard about the deeds of Huobo and the Dong family. Now the Dong family is in difficulty. Although I am in Neon, I am a Huaxia One line, if I have money, I will help a gang, that’s all. Uncle Dong doesn’t need to worry too much.”

   He knew very well that Dong Hua finally made it happen. It took OOCL five years from now to turn losses into profits, and later went public. When it was finally acquired, Huo Yingdong earned more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars.

   What's more, this is also a good way for Tao Zhiming to use money to open the way and establish contacts with such bigwigs as Huo Yingdong and Dong Hua from a unique perspective. Huo Yingdong was in Xiangdao, but he was not even the master of the underworld, and Dong Hua also took office as the first SAR chief.

   At this time, I called two Shengbo, helped a gang, and delivered charcoal in the snow. In the future, the foundation of Xiangdao will be solid.

   Dong Hua didn't expect such a windfall today, and then said: "So, when Uncle Huo arrives, let's discuss this matter in person. Now, Uncle Huo is also one of the major shareholders in OOCL."

  Actually, Tao Zhiming is a bit rich now, but he is too young, and he came from Tokyo again.

   In the world at this moment, the United States is the largest economy. Although the red Su is still there, the neon is in the limelight. He himself comes from the second developed country in the economy, and he has some mysterious colors of self-made. Dong Hua himself is at a low point in his family business, so he really got to know him quite seriously.

  Tao Zhiming has nothing to hide, because the foundation he has established in Neon is also part of his strength.

  Orient Overseas, a major world shipping company, will not look for rich people casually, even if it wants to add new shareholders.

  Huo Yingdong really arrived before five o'clock. Hearing that the matter has been negotiated and the formalities have been completed, I couldn't help but be surprised. After shaking hands with Tao Zhiming, he stared at him: "Tao Sheng, are you so refreshing?"

  Tao Zhiming looked at his sharp and deep eyes, and said in his mouth: "I'm a junior, and I'm a little embarrassed to bargain with my elders. Besides, it's okay to say that I have a return home mentality, which makes me look rich."

   He said it interestingly, Huo Yingdong couldn't help laughing and patted him on the shoulder: "No wonder I want to see me directly with my friends. The word homecoming is a bit mean, Tokyo is not good to stay?"

   "That's not true." Tao Zhiming said calmly, "Tokyo is making money now, I have to stay there until I'm almost thirty at least."

   "Oh?" Huo Yingdong and Dong Hua looked at each other, "Almost 30 years old, are you ready to transfer at that time?"

  Tao Zhiming just smiled: "It's all said to stand at 30. When the time comes, I may adjust it and decide the direction."

   "I heard that you are engaged in finance, publishing, and entertainment over there. There are trading companies here in Xiangdao, why are they so complicated?" Huo Yingdong asked bluntly.

"..." Tao Zhiming knew that in the eyes of normal people, he belonged to a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, so he just smirked, "Be careful with each other. Finance is because you make money now, you can't let it go. As for trade, yes Knowing that China now relies on exports to make money, this part is considered to be in a foreign country, so let’s help connect with the market.”

  Huo Yingdong is a bold, careful and straightforward person. Tao Zhiming knew that he had the experience of being a leader in his early years, and he knew that he was dedicated to serving the country, so he said it very directly.

   "Oh?" Huo Yingdong looked at him in surprise, "Listen to what you mean, people are in Tokyo, and their hearts are in Yanjing?"

   "I didn't say this on purpose because I knew your identity and experience. I have already opened a tape factory in Nanyue."

   "Since you have this heart...why don't you just go back and develop?"

Faced with this question, Tao Zhiming answered calmly: "There are many talented people in China, and it is not me that is lacking. In foreign countries, funds, markets, and rules of play are the ones who will be lacking in the future. Since I was born abroad, I also have The world I cast."

  Huo Yingdong watched him quietly for a while, then suddenly shook his head: "Not like, not like!"

  Tao Zhiming was a little confused: "It's not like what?"

   "It's not like a 22-year-old!" Huo Yingdong pointed at him, "It already feels like an old river and lake."

  Tao Zhiming laughed dumbly.

   "Then why do you engage in publishing and entertainment?" Huo Yingdong obviously wanted to get to know him better and kept asking.

Tao Zhiming thought about it and then grinned: "Ultimately, I want to establish a certain right to speak in the field of culture and media, in the foreign world. I believe that Xia Guo will sooner or later reach the economic status of Neon today. At that time, the whole world will be encircled and suppressed. If I return to China, how can I use my current identity and establish a cultural media group abroad?"

"When they all smear us, there must be a media that can influence ordinary people and say a few words of justice? So today's young people like what I do. I don't touch current affairs, economics, etc. It, I do things that young people like, related to entertainment and life. Quietly, I can build such a cultural media group. Make money and lay the foundation. "

   Huo Yingdong and Dong Hua were dumbfounded.

  Can Xia Guo replace Neon sooner or later and become the second strongest economy in the world?

   In the siege of the whole world, a cultural media group that speaks justice?

   They never imagined that this young man had such a plan and such a pattern hidden in his heart.

   The question is: Have a simple conversation?

   This is the first time we meet.

   However, they had to admit that they recognized this kid even more.

   Huo Yingdong took a long time to say: "So you have a very clear plan for yourself, but... the media has always been strictly controlled, this road is difficult to go through!"

  Tao Zhiming only laughed and didn't speak. Anyway, magazines like Eat, Drink, and Fun are the edge of attention; in the Internet age, they are also the source of traffic.

   He has been doing his best for 20 to 30 years, and he will not lose his tail after the emergence of social media.

   When the time comes, how can it be so easily beaten down? In twenty or thirty years, what level of wealth has he accumulated and how many interest groups have he attracted?

Huo Yingdong couldn't help but be curious: "I really want to know, how much money do you have now? Don't worry about it, you have such a big heart, money is just the foundation. This business deals with people's hearts, money alone is not enough, not money even more. no."

  Dong Hua spoke first: "I haven't had time to tell you, Uncle Huo, he said that he can join the shareholder Fang Overseas. I said that there was a shortage of 500 million a year ago, and he said there was."

  Huo Yingdong couldn't help but glance at Tao Zhiming, and then said, "Now that you can come up with so many words, there is indeed a foundation... Finance is so profitable?"

  Tao Zhiming was too happy not to answer directly. Although more money is good, it does not need to be too revealing. It is a bit exaggerated to say to them that they now have nearly 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

   So he just said modestly: "Finance does make money, otherwise, why is the flower street in the United States so powerful?"
