v3 Chapter 738： 500 million USD in sales

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 on his own is time-consuming and labor-intensive, not only building factories, re-recruitment training, but also purchasing equipment and so on.

And now that these first troubles 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 start from other aspects.

Such as milk, fruit juice, tea beverages.

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

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

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

But with the dairy company, there is a complete foundation for establishing a dairy brand.

As for juice and tea beverages, Xiangjiang is also a mixed brand. Needless to say, there are herbal tea shops in the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang. Coffee shops and milk tea shops are not rare.

However, there is also one company that stands out, and that is Vitasoy.

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

Since its development, Vitasoy has monopolized the soy milk market on the 9th floor of Xiangjiang. Vitasoy soy milk in glass bottles is sold in major restaurants and convenience stores.

In addition, last year and this year, Vitasoy once again opened up new areas, dragging out Vita brand juices, lemon tea and chrysanthemum tea and other drinks, and market feedback was good.

When Xia Yu and others went north early this year, Vitasoy's chairman Luo Guixiang also invested more than 22 million Hong Kong dollars to develop Guangming Ranch in Pengcheng for raising dairy cows and preparing to enter the dairy market.

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

The acquisition is difficult, and it is not necessary for Huo Jianning to remind Xia Yu. Although Vitasoy had five people when it was founded, after so many years of development, the equity has been gradually acquired by Luo Guixiang, and Luo Guixiang is now the chairman of the largest shareholder.

As far as Xia Yu knows, the previous Vitasoy company was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange every year, known as "Hong Kong Stock Xiao Maotai", with 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 of the Economic Research Office, determined that although the assets were about 200 million yuan, the liabilities were all 140 million, and the net assets were about 60 million Hong Kong dollars.

The net assets of 60 million Hong Kong dollars are mainly concentrated in factories, machinery, farms and workers.

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

Not to mention that Vitasoy is not listed at this time, so if it really wants to acquire, a wholly-owned acquisition will only cost 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

If you build a new company from scratch to this point, no two hundred million will not be realized.

Being able to acquire is definitely worth the money, and it also eliminates a strong competitor.

Don't hesitate to buy!

Isn't it money? Yes!

"Okay, I see, 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.

"understand!"

After dealing with this matter, Xia Yu asked with concern: "By the way, how is the business situation of Tiangong Electronics? Have the 200 million US dollars orders from the previous trade fair been delivered?"

When talking about the company he manages, Huo Jianning couldn't help but smile.

"Chairman, all have been delivered, but now the company is still full of orders. According to market feedback, our company’s five games are too popular. Other game companies have no resistance at all. Even "Space Invaders" has sold out. Plummet."

"Up to now, the company has received a total of 520 million US dollars of orders, five arcade machines totaling 21.5 million units, and 170,000 units have now been delivered."

Speaking of this, in order to reflect the pros and cons of the results, Huo Jianning paused and added: "Last year, Taidong Island’s annual sales were US$1.08 billion, and now our company’s two-month sales are about 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 **** research and development."

Huo Jianning nodded and said: "I understand that it has cooperated with universities now, but the current situation of Xiangjiang is that there is a serious shortage of talents in electronic technology. Therefore, in terms of research and development, it mainly relies on Sega, and the parent company is rushing to train. Talent."

It's the talent issue again!

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

His commercial strength has reached the top of Hong Kong, and there is no shortage of funds, but he is restricted by talents, which has seriously delayed the development of his career.

His Jiuding Consortium will definitely be involved in all walks of life, and Xiangjiang is his foundation, at least the talents of the local rise of Xiangjiang cannot be in the minority, but according to current conditions, it is not realistic at all.

He either chooses most of the talents to use foreigners, or he can only train himself.

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

Although the mainland has talented people in large numbers, people's attitudes have not changed, and it is difficult for them to come to Hong Kong.

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

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

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

Although he decided to build a comprehensive university, Xia Yu does not plan to tell Huo Jianning now that this comprehensive university is not like the Chunqiu School of Chinese Medicine and the Xiangjiang Culture and Media School. After all, Xia Yu itself has no resources to use.

Someone must be discussed.

"Follow your ideas and implement it!"

"understand!"

After Huo Jianning was sent away.

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

Early the next morning.

All of the Institute of Politics, Business, and Society of Jiuding Think Tank gathered in the large conference room of Jiuding Building.

Looking around, many are elderly people, and some are gray-haired.

These people are all top scientific research talents of Hong Kong. Many of them are professors from Hong Kong Chinese University and Hong Kong University, and even professors from some universities in Southeast Asia. For example, Professor Lin Shanyuan and Xu Zhixue who were originally in Jiuding Economic Research Office are also businessmen of Jiuding Think Tank Core member 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 beyond doubt.

The treatment of Jiuding Think Tank is extremely high, so the barriers to entry are also high and scary. After layers of screening, those who can come in are all real people, and there is absolutely no case of overfilling.

For these people, Xia Yu also respects them very much.

After coming in, he threw a proposal for the establishment of a comprehensive private university, and the people present immediately discussed it fiercely.

Combining the actual situation and future needs of the Jiuding Consortium, assembling the current situation of society, we will conduct in-depth discussions on the necessity, possibility, implementation, and difficulties of establishing private universities.

Xia Yu remained silent and listened quietly.

It is said that three heads have beaten Zhuge Liang, not to mention such a large group of top smart people.

In a day, the result came out.

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

There are hundreds of good influences alone.

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

In this situation, what else Xia Yu has to say, he immediately decided to build a private university called Jiuding University.

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

These people are university professors. They are very clear about the structure of the university and have a huge network of resources. At least the teachers at Jiuding University will definitely not be lacking.

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 universities are all private!)

After letting think tanks take charge of Xia Yu went to see MacLehose that night and proposed to him to build the school.

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

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

Improving the education environment in Hong Kong has always been MacLehose's policy, but limited by financial shortcomings, many of his policies cannot be implemented.

A few days later, MacLehose held a meeting in the Hong Kong government to discuss this matter. No one was willing to oppose such public welfare undertakings.

The school qualifications were given to Xia Yu, and the Hong Kong government provided the school site free of charge.

After the news came out, everyone in Xiangjiang cheered.

There are indeed too few universities in Hong Kong. After graduating from high school, many people want to study but cannot go to university. They can only be apprentices or work directly. Now one more university is a good news for everyone.

Xia Yu's reputation instantly improved several grades.

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

In the end, it was negotiated and decided that the Hong Kong government would provide 60 hectares of Clear Water Bay, Kowloon, or 600,000 square meters, to support Xia Yu in establishing a university.

This piece of land is the location of the later Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology.

In order to limit Xia Yu’s profit, the Hong Kong government stipulated that the 60 hectares of land should be dedicated to education and could only be used for school construction. Commercial development is prohibited. If Xia Yu violates regulations, the Hong Kong government has the right to unconditionally recover the land.

Xia Yu fully agreed to this request. This area is too small to build the school. Where else would he use it to develop real estate?

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