I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first!

Before going to South Africa, it is natural to raise money first. The acquisition is estimated to cost about 800,000 US dollars.

800,000 US dollars is an astronomical figure for the current Laofengxiang jewelry; last year, the annual profit of Laofengxiang jewelry was only about 1.3 million Hong Kong dollars.

The exchange rate between the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar is currently 1:5.7, so US$800,000 is 4.56 million Hong Kong dollars, which is the profit of Laofengxiang Jewelry for nearly four years.

After Lao Fengxiang's shareholding restructuring, Wu Guangyao couldn't take money from the account casually, so there was a deposit of 200,000 US dollars in the account.

As for the shortfall of 600,000 US dollars, I can only choose a loan!

Therefore, upon receiving a call from South Africa, Wu Guangyao brought Rong Bunsheng to HSBC Bank to meet with Sandas, intending to make a quick loan.

Sanders has been appointed as the manager of the loan project department of HSBC Bank, which should be a few years earlier than in history, presumably because of the discovery of Wu Guangyao.

At the beginning, although HSBC appointed Sanders to take over as the manager of the loan project department, it should take three to five years to investigate before officially taking up the post.

It may be because Sandas supported Wu Guangyao, a Chinese businessman, and allowed HSBC to obtain a lot of business and interest, so he took over one or two years in advance.

"Congratulations to Sanders for taking over as the manager of the loan project department. I heard that this position in HSBC is more powerful than the chairman of HSBC. I don't know if I'm wrong?" Wu Guangyao said jokingly.

But this rumor is indeed true!

The manager of the loan project department of HSBC Bank is in charge of all the loan projects on Hong Kong Island, and is the most in need of curry favor with businessmen on Hong Kong Island!

It is not wrong to say that certain powers surpass the chairman of HSBC Bank!

"How is that possible! I am under the management of the chairman of HSBC Bank, how can I say that I am more powerful than him! Mr. Wu, you have to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. I am afraid that you will need a loan again this time! This should be Rong Sir, is it possible that your old Fengxiang jewelry is still short of money, isn’t it? The dignified Hong Kong Island’s “Golden King” is still short of money?” Sanders was in a good mood and responded jokingly.

On Hong Kong Island, if a certain industry does well, it will be nicknamed "King".

For example, Pang Dingyuan, the steel king, Huo Yingdong, the sea sand king, and so on.

Although Wu Guangyao had no intention of receiving the title of 'Golden King',

But friends from the media often say this, so there is no need to care!

Wu Guangyao went straight to the point: "Sandus, you should know about diamonds, right?"

"Of course, did you change the name of Lao Fengxiang Jewelry to enter the diamond industry?" Sandas was taken aback. Diamonds are considered luxury goods in Europe and the United States. In this small Hong Kong Island, it may not be easy to sell.

Wu Guangyao nodded and said, "Well, there is a processing factory in South Africa that holds 10 De Beer licenses for sale, and our old Fengxiang Jewelry intends to take over this company."

Sandas's face was full of shock. There were actually ten license plates. I thought there were only one or two license plates!

"I'm afraid the market on Hong Kong Island can't absorb many diamonds?" Sanders quickly calmed down, because he believed that Wu Guangyao was not the kind of person who didn't understand the market, on the contrary, he knew it better than anyone else!

"We are not only doing the Hong Kong Island market, we can process the diamonds in South Africa, then inlay them in Hong Kong Island, and finally sell the diamond rings, diamond necklaces, and diamond watches to Japan and Southeast Asia. Doesn't this solve the market? ?” Wu Guangyao said confidently.

"But the diamond market in Asia as a whole is not good, right? Now it is the whole world, and diamonds are not easy to sell!" Sanders asked after all. It is one thing to believe in Wu Guangyao, but more important is to convince Own.

"First, any business that is closely related to life will not worry about the way out. Since women like diamond jewelry so much, as long as there are women in the world, I can do business.

Second, in other businesses, hoarding goods will become obsolete, rotten, and damaged, but diamond jewelry will not, so I don't worry about not being able to sell for a while.

Third, the prospect of diamond jewelry will only get better and better. As long as we work harder on styles, the market will be ushered in.

Fourth, in times of peace and prosperity, diamond jewelry can play the role of icing on the cake; in times of war, diamond jewelry is convenient to take asylum. "

Wu Guangyao said slightly, the analysis was reasonable and well-founded, Sandas nodded secretly, he was indeed a business genius.

Then, Wu Guangyao took out a stack of materials and handed them to Sandas.

This is the senior management of Wu Guangyao's joint company, who has already written a marketing plan for diamond jewelry!

Needless to say, in this plan, Wu Guangyao copied the advertising slogans and marketing plans of later generations.

For example, the 'Diamonds are Forever, One Is Forever' that only appeared at the end of this year! ’ The classic slogan.

"Diamonds are forever, one piece will last forever" was rated as one of the classic advertising ideas in the 20th century by the American "Advertising Age" in later generations, and it has also become the nightmare of all men's wallets.

Wu Guangyao believes that with this slogan alone, De Beers can support him and become Asia's diamond king.

Otherwise, let De Beers pay for its own advertising!

After reading it, Sandas couldn't help asking: "Is this proposal written by Mr. Wu?"

Wu Guangyao was looking at the oil paintings on the wall, turned around and said, "Mostly, what do you think of Sanders?"

"I think you should ask De Beers to pay you a lot of advertising costs, saying that it may not be more profitable than selling diamonds, haha!" Sanders said.

Wu Guangyao also believes that diamonds are the biggest scam of this century, and deception is the real reason for its success.

"you flatter me!"

The next thing was a matter of course, the loan of 700,000 US dollars (an extra loan of 100,000 US dollars, as the need for the next operation), had already been allocated to Lao Fengxiang Jewelry's account on the same day.

Of course, there is also a hard condition, that is, the value of Lao Fengxiang's gold reserves is almost close to this figure.

 …

South Africa, Cape Town.

Wu Guangyao brought Rong Bensheng, a lawyer, several middle-level managers, and under the leadership of Jones, they came to the Weipu Diamond Processing Factory.

Jones's efforts to win this time not only need to lobby De Beers, but also need to apply to the South African government.

Of course, Laofengxiang jewelry industry is not weak, which is also a very important reason.

There is another risk here: that is De Beers, which regularly inspects these licensed companies every year. If they are not qualified, there is a risk of being disqualified.

But Wu Guangyao is not afraid. When he opens up the market in Asia and develops the classic "advertising language", De Beers will only be optimistic about himself and support himself.

After visiting the factory, Wu Guangyao was very satisfied with this diamond processing factory, but of course he didn't show it on his face.

The owner of Weipu Diamond Processing Factory is Weipu, a 50-year-old man, and this diamond processing factory has a history of 15 years.

There is no extra courtesy, directly in the Weipu processing factory, let's negotiate!

Factory properties, skilled workers, diamond licenses, machinery and equipment, all of these must be included in the contract to avoid being cheated.

After two days of negotiations, the two parties finally signed the contract!

After the contract was signed, this Weipu diamond processing factory naturally belonged to him, and it was rare for Wu Guangyao to change his name, since it was just a logistics factory anyway.

The first task is to appease those experienced diamond processing masters, and then to count the company's property.

The original person in charge was a relative of Wei Pu, so Wu Guangyao was naturally unable to hire him, but he also promoted a person in charge from within.

Then he put the three middle-level cadres he brought from Hong Kong Island into the three departments of the Weipu Diamond Processing Factory.

This includes the heads of the three departments of finance, security, and administration, all of whom have been replaced by Lao Fengxiang's reserve middle-level cadres.

Wu Guangyao stayed in South Africa for a week before returning to Hong Kong Island. He was preparing to release news announcing that Laofengxiang Jewelry entered the diamond industry.

Wu Guangyao believed that this move of his would definitely become famous on Hong Kong Island!

Because this is the first time for a Chinese businessman on Hong Kong Island to acquire a large foreign company, it will be recorded in the history of Hong Kong Island!
