Chapter 935 Mainland Business
Zhou Junhao didn't stay in Shanghai for long. He came and left in a hurry, staying for only one night. He flew back to Pengcheng at noon the next day.
The night before Zhou Junhao left, Zhang Jiaming invited Zhou Junhao to dinner. The two of them were not only competitors in the company, but also old friends for many years.
Because Song Yuanchao had already given his nod, Zhou Junhao's departure from Shenghua and acquisition of the electronics factory in Pengcheng was a foregone conclusion, so Zhou Junhao did not hide this matter during the meal. Moreover, he had long known that Zhang Jiaming must have known about this, otherwise Zhang Jiaming would not have said so coincidentally that he had a company meeting to attend when chatting with Song Yuanchao in the morning and left on purpose.
Zhang Jiaming felt a little reluctant to see Zhou Junhao leave Shenghua, but at the same time he couldn't help but admire and feel moved by Zhou Junhao's courage in making such a decision.
At the table, both of them drank a little too much and talked about the past when Shenghua was just founded. They started arguing and had a fight, but after the fight they burst into laughter at the same time, hugging each other like brothers.
Some daily minor conflicts and past private competitions were all gone in this drinking, leaving only the friendship between brothers and friends. The next day, Zhang Jiaming personally drove Zhou Junhao to the airport. The two hugged and said goodbye at the airport. When watching Zhou Junhao leave, Zhang Jiaming secretly wished him well in his heart, wishing him to take this step successfully and have a bright future.
After returning to Pengcheng, Zhou Junhao quickly formed a private team and submitted his resignation as general manager of Shenghua Electronics to the company.
After leaving Shenghua, Zhou Junhao formally submitted a plan to acquire the Pengcheng Electronics Factory to Shenghua headquarters. This plan was reported to Song Yuanchao through Xu Hui. Song Yuanchao made a special trip to Hong Kong and presided over an internal board meeting. At the meeting, Zhou Junhao's plan to acquire the electronics factory was passed and approved.
Next, Zhou Junhao acquired Pengcheng Electronics Factory at market price and renamed the factory Huajun Co., Ltd. The "Hua" in the name of the company was taken from the "Hua" in Shenghua, representing that this company and himself were once part of Shenghua, and the "Jun" at the end refers to the Jun character in Zhou Junhao's name.
Huajun Company acquired the electronics factory, and the first batch of acquisition funds was actually deposited into Shenghua’s account. As for the remaining acquisition funds, Zhou Junhao found several banks, mortgaged Huajun’s assets , and obtained loans from the banks.
Although the company's name has changed and the new Huajun Company is no longer a subsidiary of Shenghua, Shenghua signed a long-term OEM contract with Zhou Junhao's Huajun on the day Huajun was established. This contract is enough to ensure that Huajun has sufficient orders and stable profits. In this case, the bank will naturally not refuse a loan from a promising company.
Most of the funds obtained through the loan were given to Shenghua as acquisition funds, and a small part was retained as working capital for the later operation of Huajun. In this way, Zhou Junhao directly solved 70% of the funding source for the acquisition of the electronics factory and ensured the normal operation of the company in the future.
Although there is still 30% of the acquisition funds that need to be paid off within two years, plus bank loans and interest payments, Zhou Junhao does not seem to be worried about these, because according to Shenghua's current OEM orders and his plans to further expand the company's production and build its own brand, it is no problem to bear the repayment of these funds.
Zhou Junhao's Huajun replaced the factory originally under Shenghua, and also made Shenghua's strategic adjustment a step further. It began to complete the separation of products and production, and embarked on another development path different from many current companies.
In 1992, many major events happened in Hong Kong, especially it was an important year for the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
This was the year when the God of Songs Xu Guanjie retired from the entertainment industry, and this was also the year when the Four Heavenly Kings emerged.
This year, Stephen Chow released seven movies, all of which were big hits, and it was called the Year of Stephen Chow. The entire Hong Kong film industry also reached an unprecedented peak, with the annual box office being extremely brilliant and dazzling.
This year, watch tycoon Yang Shoucheng acquired the old record company in Hong Kong, Feituo Records, and merged the company into his Emperor Entertainment, starting to build his entertainment empire...
It was also in this year that TVB’s hit drama “The Greed of Man” was broadcast, and the TV series caused a sensation as soon as it was released.
Moreover, coincidentally, the Hong Kong stock market plummeted at the same time as this film was broadcast. Since then, whenever a TV series or movie starring Ding Hai was released, the Hong Kong stock market has fallen to varying degrees, thus creating a very bizarre "Ding Hai effect".
A rather gossipy incident also happened this year, and one of the protagonists of this gossip incident is now sitting in front of Song Yuanchao.
"Brother Song, isn't it normal for men to be a little unfaithful? Besides, even if I am unfaithful, I still truly love her. We were just playing around outside. Why did it have to end up like this?" Big Liu complained to Song Yuanchao in frustration.
Liu just divorced his wife of many years a few days ago. He and his wife met in 1973 and got married in 1975. At that time, Liu was still a penniless boy.
After 19 years of acquaintance and 17 years of marriage, it has now come to an end. Liu seems to be enjoying great success outside, but on Song Yuanchao's side, Liu is full of reluctance and complaints, and keeps chattering like an abandoned woman.
"Since you still love her, why do you sign it?" Song Yuanchao couldn't help but ask.
Liu was stunned for a moment, then he sighed and said, "It is precisely because I love her that I signed. If she understood me, she should not have filed for divorce. Besides, I really can't do what she asked me to do. Brother Song, you are also a man, you should be able to understand me, right?"
Song Yuanchao didn't know how to respond to this. Liu Da was indeed too romantic, and his girlfriends kept changing like a revolving lantern. If he was single, it would be fine, but Liu Da was already a married man with a wife and children.
What kind of woman can stand such a philandering man? What's more terrible is that Liu is very good to every girlfriend. In his words, the feelings he puts into every relationship are sincere and not false at all. But why can't they understand him? Especially his wife who has been with him through thick and thin.
Shaking his head, Song Chaoyuan felt that he and Da Liu had completely different views on this matter, and they also had different attitudes towards feelings. Song Chaoyuan would never be Da Liu, and Da Liu would never be the same as Song Chaoyuan, so he ended up like this.
After the divorce, the whole world thought that Liu would marry his current girlfriend, Li Jiaxin. After all, Li Jiaxin was born in Hong Kong at the age of 22 and was very beautiful. In addition, it was because of Liu's relationship with her that led to his divorce. From these aspects, it was natural for Liu, who was single again, to make Li Jiaxin his wife.
However, Liu told Song Yuanchao that he never planned to marry Li Jiaxin, because although he liked Li Jiaxin, he truly loved his original wife. Even though they were divorced now, he would not make Li Jiaxin his principal.
"You, why bother?" Song Chaoyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. This guy's love life was a mess. In one word, he was too "philanthropic" and often couldn't control himself. In terms of love, he was far less talented and clear-headed than he was in business. However, no one was perfect, so Song Chaoyuan couldn't say much about some personal issues.
After talking about his personal affairs for a while and complaining a lot in front of Song Yuanchao, Liu felt much better after venting.
Actually, there are not many people in Hong Kong who can say these things to Liu in private. Liu is not without friends, but many of them are either business partners, people he hangs out with, or one of his many "girlfriends".
But with these people, Liu often has to wear a mask when getting along with them, and he basically won't talk about some personal matters. But it's different in front of Song Chaoyuan. Although they have cooperated and fought, after several years of interactions, Liu still trusts Song Chaoyuan very much. In addition, Song Yuanchao is not like others who gossip and speak without restraint, and he is very low-key in the Hong Kong business community. So some things are inconvenient to say to others, but it has nothing to do with Song Yuanchao.
"Oh, I almost forgot something." Liu straightened himself up and regained his shrewdness as a businessman. He said to Song Yuanchao, "I came to you today because I need your help with something."
"What's going on? Are you planning to attack that company again after seeing the stock market crash? Are you looking for financing from me?" Song Chaoyuan asked with a smile.
"Not the stock market. I don't have a good target this time. I don't have this idea for the time being." Liu waved his hand. Although the Hong Kong stock market is plummeting, Liu doesn't want to make a move this time. He doesn't stir up trouble in the stock market without a purpose. He always makes a move after careful consideration and comprehensive planning.
This time the stock market crash came very suddenly. Although on the surface it was a good opportunity to enter the market, Liu felt that now was not the right time. He planned to wait and see before making a decision.
"What's that?"
"It's like this. The real estate industry in the mainland has been developing very fast in the past few years. I'm planning to officially set up offices in Yanjing and Shanghai, but I'm not very familiar with the mainland. I know your connections in the mainland, so could you help introduce me?"
"Set up an office? In the name of Chinese?" Song Yuanchao asked.
"Yes!" Liu nodded.
Song Yuanchao looked at him doubtfully and asked, "There's no problem with Shanghai. If you want to set it up, just do it. It's just an office. I can help you make a call. As for Yanjing, I remember that Huaren cooperated with Yanjing on a Lijin project a few years ago. The previous partner had a strong background. Do you still need to find another relationship?"
Liu waved his hand and told Song Yuanchao the truth: "Some things are complicated, and it's not as simple as just setting up an office, so..."
Liu didn't say anything else. Song Chaoyuan roughly understood what he meant. This was not a very difficult thing. At the same time, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, and Song Yuanchao began to think about it for a while.
