Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

After reading the investigation report, Xia Yu thought for a long time and finally made up his mind.

In the field of instant noodles and food, he still intends to directly acquire Yongnan Food Co., Ltd., building a new company by himself is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

And now these initial troubles, since they can be solved with money, of course they choose to spend money, and the time saved can make more money.

In the beverage market, the carbonated beverage market is temporarily difficult to enter, but it can be started from other aspects.

Such as milk, juice, tea beverages.

In the field of milk and dairy products, Xia Yu happened to have a big brand at this time, occupying one-third of the market of Xiangjiang fresh milk, and it was the milk company.

Yes, the glass bottle of fresh milk is printed with the trademark of "Milk Company", which is really dirty.

It is a pity that the production is fresh milk, and the shelf life is at most a few days.

But with a milk company, there is a solid foundation for building a dairy brand.

As for fruit juices and tea drinks, Xiangjiang is also a mixed brand, not to mention packaging. There are herbal tea shops in the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang. There are also coffee shops and milk tea shops that pay for a bowl.

But there is also a company that stands out, and that is Vitasoy.

Vitasoy was originally a soy milk drink brand, and a group of founders hoped to provide ordinary families in Hong Kong with a cheap and protein-rich drink as an alternative to the more expensive milk.

Up to now, Vitasoy has monopolized the soymilk market on the ninth floor of Heung River. Vitasoy soymilk in glass bottles is sold in major restaurants and convenience stores.

In addition, last year and this year, Vitasoy once again opened up new fields, and brought out drinks such as juice, lemon tea and chrysanthemum tea of ​​the Vita brand, which received good market feedback.

At the beginning of this year, when Xia Yu and others went north, Luo Guixiang, the chairman of Vitasoy, also invested more than 22 million Hong Kong dollars in the development of Guangming Ranch in Pengcheng, which was used to breed cows and prepare to enter the dairy market.

Huo Jianning's opinion is also to directly acquire the company, but the acquisition will be more difficult.

Acquisition is difficult, and it is clear without Huo Jianning reminding Xia Yu that although Vitasoy Company was founded with five people, after so many years of development, the equity has been gradually acquired by Luo Guixiang, and now Luo Guixiang is the chairman of the largest shareholder.

As far as Xia Yu knows, the former Vitasoy Company was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2018, known as the "Little Moutai of Hong Kong Stocks", with an annual revenue of more than 7 billion and a market value of more than 40 billion Hong Kong dollars.

At this time, the Vitasoy Company, according to the research and judgment of the Economic Research Office, although the assets were about 200 million, but the liabilities were 140 million, and the net assets were about 60 million Hong Kong dollars.

And the net assets of 60 million Hong Kong dollars are mainly concentrated in factories, machinery, pastures and workers.

Generally speaking, the market value of listed companies in the industrial sector is about twice their net assets, so if Vitasoy is listed at this time, the market value will be around HK$120 million.

Not to mention that Vitasoy was not listed at this time, so if it really wanted to acquire it, it would only cost HK$100 million for a wholly-owned acquisition.

If you build a new company from scratch and develop to this point, you can't achieve it without two hundred million.

Being able to acquire is definitely worth the money and also eliminates a tough competitor.

Don't hesitate to buy it!

Isn't it money! Yes!

"Okay, I understand, I will let Wang Qi be responsible for the specific acquisition."

Xia Yu put down the investigation report and said to Huo Jianning.

Under the Jiuding Consortium, Wang Qi is undoubtedly the best at mergers and acquisitions.

"clear!"

After dealing with this matter, Xia Yu asked with concern: "By the way, how is the business of Tiangong Electronics? Has the $200 million order from the previous trade fair been delivered?"

Mentioning the company he manages, Huo Jianning couldn't help but smile.

"Chairman, everything has been delivered, but the company is still full of orders. According to market feedback,

Five of our company's games were so hot that other game companies couldn't resist, and even the sales of Space Invaders plummeted. "

"Up to now, the company has received a total of 520 million US dollars of orders, a total of 215,000 units of the five arcade machines, and has now delivered 170,000 units."

Speaking of this, in order to reflect the merits and demerits of the performance, Huo Jianning paused for a moment, and then added: "Last year, the annual sales of Taidong Company in the island country was US$180 million, and now our company's sales in two months are almost get to half of it."

Xia Yu smiled and said with satisfaction: "Not bad!"

"These games can continue to develop new levels, which is enough for the company to pay for a few years, but in the past few years, the company must work hard on research and development."

Huo Jianning nodded and said: "I understand that we have cooperated with universities now, but the current situation of Xiangjiang is that there is a serious shortage of talents in electronic technology, so in terms of research and development, it mainly relies on Sega, and the parent company is expediting training. talent."

Another talent issue!

Xia Yu couldn't help frowning, feeling helpless for Xiangjiang's education and scientific research level.

His commercial strength has reached the top of Xiangjiang, and there is no shortage of funds. Instead, he is restricted by talents, which seriously slows down the speed of his career development.

His Jiuding consortium will definitely be involved in all walks of life, and Xiangjiang is his foundation. At least there can be a few talents rising in Xiangjiang, but according to the current conditions, it is not realistic at all.

He either chooses to use foreigners for most of the talents, or he can only cultivate them by himself.

If most of the entire Jiuding Consortium were foreigners, it would definitely be an extremely unstable factor.

Although the mainland has produced many talents, people's attitudes have not changed, and it is difficult for talents to come to Hong Kong.

And because there is too little contact with the world, all aspects are seriously lagging behind, and the talents cultivated may not be able to integrate with all walks of life in the world.

After much deliberation, you still have to build your own university.

It is unrealistic to expect Hong Kong University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and it will take six or seven years for the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology to appear, so he has no time to wait.

Although it was decided to build a comprehensive university, Xia Yu did not plan to tell Huo Jianning now that this kind of comprehensive university is not like Chunqiu School of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Xiangjiang Culture and Media School. After all, Xia Yu himself has no resources to use.

You have to talk to someone.

"Do it according to your idea!"

"clear!"

After Huo Jianning was sent away.

Xia Yu ordered someone to inform his think tank and hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss this issue in detail.

Early the next morning.

All the political research institutes, business research institutes, and social research institutes of Jiuding Think Tank gathered in the large conference room of Jiuding Building.

Looking around, many are elderly people, and some people have gray hair.

These people are the top scientific research talents in Heungkong, many of them are professors from the Chinese University of Heungkong and Heungkong University, and even professors from some universities in Southeast Asia, such as Professor Lin Shanyuan and Professor Xu Zhixue, who were originally in the Jiuding Economic Research Laboratory, who are also Jiuding Think Tank Business core members of the Institute.

In addition, there are some well-known social observers and commentators, some of whom are scholars originally from the mainland, but did not enter the two universities to teach.

But the ability is undeniable.

The treatment of Jiuding Think Tank is extremely high, so the entry threshold is also frightening.

Xia Yu also respected these people very much.

After he came in, he threw out a proposal to build a comprehensive private university, and the people present immediately discussed it vigorously.

Combined with the actual situation and future needs of the Jiuding Consortium, and the social status quo, we will conduct in-depth discussions on the necessity, possibility, implementation, and difficulties of establishing a private university.

Xia Yu has been silent, listening quietly by the side.

It is said that the three stooges beat Zhuge Liang, not to mention such a large group of top smart people.

In a day, the results came out.

For the future of the Jiuding Consortium and for the benefit of Xiangjiang, it is extremely necessary to establish a new university.

Hundreds of good influences are listed.

In addition, even the operation plan for establishing a university has come up with a framework.

In this situation, Xia Yu had nothing to say, and immediately decided to build a private university, and the name was Jiuding University.

After the confirmation, many people present were excited and expressed their willingness to contribute.

These people are all university professors. They are very clear about the structure of the university and have huge network resources. At least there will be no shortage of teachers from Jiuding University.

In Xia Yu's mind, Jiuding University's goal is to develop into private universities like Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, Princeton University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Columbia University. (These colleges are private!)

After putting the think tank in charge, Xia Yu went to see MacLehose that night and proposed to him to build a school.

MacLehose did not agree on the spot, but he was still positive about Xia Yu's willingness to invest independently to improve the educational environment in Xiangjiang.

But Xia Yu was not worried that MacLehose would not agree.

Improving the educational environment in Hong Kong has always been MacLehose's governing policy, but due to financial shortcomings, many of his policies could not be implemented.

A few days later, MacLehose held a meeting in the Hong Kong government to discuss the matter, and no one was willing to take an objection to this kind of public welfare undertaking.

The qualification to run a school was given to Xia Yu, and the Hong Kong government provided free land for building a school.

After the news came out, everyone in the whole Xiangjiang cheered.

There are indeed too few universities in Xiangjiang. After graduating from high school, many people want to study but can't go to university. They can only be apprentices or work directly. Now that there is one more university, it is good news for everyone.

Xia Yu's reputation instantly improved several grades.

Ten days later, Jiuding Think Tank came up with a complete school plan, and Xia Yu negotiated with the Hong Kong government with this plan.

It was finally negotiated that the Hong Kong government provided 60 hectares of Kowloon's Clear Water Bay, or 600,000 square meters, to support Xia Yu's establishment of the university.

This piece of land is the location of the future Heung Kong University of Science and Technology.

In order to limit Xia Yu's profit, the Hong Kong government stipulates that the 60 hectares of land are dedicated to education and can only be used for the construction of schools. Any commercial development is prohibited. If Xia Yu violates the rules, the Hong Kong government has the right to unconditionally take back the land.

Xia Yu agreed to this request, this area is too small for building a school, where would he use it to develop real estate?

In the future, he will definitely have to find ways to grab the land from the Hong Kong government to expand the university.
