  Chapter 248 Thirty years in Hedong Thirty years in Hexi

   However, this time he did play a bit big.

   If it were last year when he first took over the Dafeng Toy Factory, he would never have believed that he dared to mortgage all his net worth to the bank, and he was not afraid of death to bear a huge debt of 5 billion.

   For a long time, Chen Yi has been more resistant to getting a loan from the bank. This is largely due to the influence of his parents in his previous life.

   Earning money from the bank and working for the bank to pay off debts are two different experiences. One is without the slightest pressure, and the other is under huge pressure. As long as you experience it a little, most people will choose the former.

  So, this kind of change is very rare. Just like human personality, conservative people generally don't take too many risks.

  This time, Chen Yi not only had to bear enormous pressure, but also had to bear huge risks. Once something went wrong, he would lose everything, or even be lost forever.

  Of course, the chances of doom are very, very small.

   At most, he has nothing. The loans he borrowed are all mortgaged by the assets he currently owns. If he loses, the bank will take away all the mortgaged things.

  So, it is impossible for him to never recover, and it is impossible to never recover in this life. It is amazing to experience a painful failure.

But if he succeeds in this adventure, it will be equivalent to laying a solid foundation for himself, just like Li Chaoren and the Chartered Ship King in his previous life. and influence to its peak.

   Li Chaoren finally became the richest man in the Chinese by entering Hutchison Whampoa. The charter king let the outside world realize his courage and strength as the world's richest man by seizing Wharf, and successfully abandoned the ship and landed in one fell swoop.

  Especially the latter, the shipping winter that swept the world in the previous life made almost all those famous ship kings involved in the shipping industry fail to escape the fate of falling from the clouds to the abyss.

  The entire shipping winter has made all the ship kings heavily in debt.

  Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi.

   This sentence is a good interpretation of the experience of the ship kings.

We all know that the charter king did not fall in that turmoil. You must know that the charter king is the world's ship king. At its peak, it owned more than 200 ships with a total deadweight tonnage of more than 20 million tons. A person who looks down on the crowd.

  “Ruler of the Sea” and “King of the Sea” are the titles given to the charter king by foreign media, and such a person successfully landed in the end.

  Some people may say that the charter king has a unique vision and sold most of his ships at a low price early on...

  That's right, there is a reason for this.

  However, no matter how much the charter king sells the ship, how can the ship sold at a low price make up for the difference in the price of the new ship before.

   To put it bluntly, I bought a ship for 100 million a few years ago, and sold it at half the price or a third of the price a few years later. How do I calculate the price difference between 50 and 70 million?

  Even if the boat is rented out for a few years in the middle, how can the rent fully make up for the price difference in the process of buying high and selling low.

   Therefore, it was Wharf World War I that really saved the charter king. He let everyone see the courage and strength of the world's ship king, thereby relieving the huge pressure brought by the shipping industry.

  Like the Internet era, many Internet companies do not make money at the beginning, and even need to burn money, and need a large amount of financing to post money into them.

What is the reason?

  It's actually very simple, because everyone firmly believes that the Internet has a future.

   For the same reason, although Chartered King was facing pressure from the shipping industry at that time, after the capture of Wharf, everyone saw the hope of Chartered King’s landing.

   It was the battle of Wharf that prevented the banks and investors from persecuting the charter king like other ship kings.

  It is the trust of banks and investors that allows the charter king to successfully abandon the ship and dock, instead of falling from the clouds like other ship kings.

  Chen Yi knew that he would face enormous pressure and risks if he had a bad relationship with Jardine. As the leader of the four major foreign firms, Jardine had strong strength, connections and other aspects that he, a fledgling young man, could not compare with.

  However, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

  Earlier, when Chen Yi acquired Hong Kong Electric, Kowloon Bus and Heung Kong Telephone, although it brought him great prestige, under the overwhelming media reports, he was in the limelight for a while.

   But in the eyes of some people, he is still not qualified.

Why?

  The reason is very simple, because he was able to successfully acquire these companies with the help of HSBC, including all his current industries, and basically most of them were completed through the hands of HSBC.

  In addition, after taking over these industries, the Li family secretly escorted them.

   In other words, in the eyes of some people, once Chen Yi leaves the Heli family of HSBC, he will be a lucky little guy with no background and background.

  The little doll crosses the street with gold ingots in her arms. Anyone who changes her will have a peeping heart, and everyone wants to pounce on it and take a bite.

  Chen Yi chose this time to have a bad relationship with Jardine. Apart from wanting to use Wharf and Golden Gate Construction to enter the real estate industry, he also wanted to use this as a warning to those who did not take him seriously.

  Once he does not rely on HSBC and the Ritchie family, and only relies on his own strength to confront Jardine Matheson undefeated head-on, then no one will dare to underestimate him in the future, and will no longer treat him as a harmless little baby.

   May I ask, how many people in Xiangjiang dare to fight against Jardine? How many people dare not to sell Jardine's face? Dare to tease Jardine's tiger whiskers?

   Do what others dare not do, and everyone will be convinced.

  The value of Wharf and Golden Gate may not be comparable to that of Heung Kong Telephone Company, but based on current calculations, taking down Wharf and Golden Gate Construction has brought him gains, even ten Heung Kong Telephone Companies cannot compare.

  Some potential benefits cannot be measured by money. If this adventure succeeds, it will have a great impact on his future career.

   As for whether there will be trouble after offending Jardine Matheson, there is no doubt about it, but compared with the harvest, any trouble can be ignored.

  Jardine Matheson is strong, but Chen Yi is not a vegetarian either.

   In that case, the charter king in the previous life, Jardine could not do anything to the other party. Now he holds the shares of the four major banks. Even if he is not the largest shareholder, he is also the second largest shareholder.

  With the support of the four major banks, what can Jardine Matheson do with him? As long as he doesn't kill himself, no one can do anything to him.

   This is also the reason why Chen Yi insisted on increasing the shares of the four major banks before the war, so as to deepen the interest relationship with the four major banks to the greatest extent.
