Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 498 Australian land is worthless

  dong dong—

  ‘click’ the office door was opened from the inside.

   "Yang Sheng, you are here, please come in."

   "Mr. Shen, good afternoon"

   Under the warm greeting of Shen Conge, the two politely said a few words. Compared with the previous few times, Shen Conge is now in a different attitude. Although the change is very subtle, Yang Chen still caught it clearly.

  In a capital society, cash is king.

  In this age where everything is talked about with money, if you have money in your hands, your back will be straight and you will speak hard.

   Now, not counting loans, he has cash flow of 13 billion (HSBC 10 billion), which is very scary anywhere.

   To be honest, Yang Chen's money has already occupied a considerable amount of reserve money in HSBC.

   Once there was a bank crisis that day, a run occurred, and Yang Chen suddenly took all the money, then HSBC, even as a banknote issuing bank in Heung Kong, would inevitably be affected.

  If HSBC wants to print and issue Hong Kong dollars, it must have equivalent US dollars and pounds, otherwise there is no way to print and issue Hong Kong dollars.

   Ordinary runs will naturally not affect HSBC, but if there are a lot of big runs, even HSBC can't handle it.

  Shen Porridge personally fiddled with the tea set while making tea for Yang Chen. His movements were very skilled, which made people feel at ease. The famous Taipan King of Xiangjiang brewed tea himself. This visual and inner feeling are different.

  Shen Conge smiled and said, "Yang Sheng, congratulations on making a fortune again this time."

   Yang Chen said humbly as always: "Where, thank you Mr. Shen for your help."

  Shen Porridge waved his hand and said, "Don't mention anything to help or not help, those are what our bank should do."

   There are two types of people in the stock market, one is making money, and the other is losing money. I will not talk about those who lose money. There are too many such people, and banks are not interested in them at all.

   There are also two types of people who make money, one is making big money, the other is making small money. Banks are also not interested in them.

  Only those who make a lot of money in the stock market will banks show their most sincere service attitude. For example, now Shen Conge, the taipan king, his every move has shown his attitude.

   Of course, the stock market is risky, and under normal circumstances, banks will not really be tied to such people who make a lot of money.

   How much money Yang Chen earns in the stock market is just a number to Shen Conge. He, the HSBC tycoon king, has seen too many such numbers, and he doesn't take it to heart at all.

   What he really cares about is where Yang Chen invests the money. This is what Shen Cong cares about most. Only by spending the money and investing it in a real place, can one increase a person's heritage, thereby expanding his social status and influence.

   Especially the potential that Yang Chen has shown today, young, rich, able to make money, capable...

  The long-term development of a bank is bound to be inseparable from the blessing of capital, especially those big capitalists, who can be said to be both prosperous and prosperous with the bank, and a loss to both.

   "Yang Sheng, come, have some tea." Shen Porridge poured some tea for Yang Chen and made a 'please' gesture.

  Yang Chen nodded, picked up the teacup and put it to his mouth, and asked casually, both intentionally and unintentionally, "Mr. Shen, I don't know what's going on in Australia, is there any progress?"

   "There's news." Shen Cong's expression changed slightly, he glanced at Yang Chen, and seeing him drinking tea quietly, he couldn't help but say, "But things are different from Yang Sheng's thoughts."

  Yang Chen drank the hot tea in the teacup in one gulp, slowly put down the teacup, and said with a smile, "How do I get in and out? Is it because I want too much, the Australian side doesn't agree, or other reasons."

   "There are other reasons. Contrary to what Yang Sheng expected, Australia not only didn't think that Yang Sheng wanted too much, but instead thought that Yang Sheng wanted too little.

  Australia is too big, with too little population, and too much land and desert. Every year, even if the Australian government vigorously manages it, the species is flooded seriously, which makes the Australian government all the time.

  I forgot one thing before, which is to think in a different perspective. Since the Chinese left decades ago, Northern Australia has been completely deserted, and the output value is not as good as a year.

  To this day, North Australia has not been able to bring anything beneficial to the Australian government. Yang Sheng, let alone an enclosure, even if he wants the whole of North Australia, the Australian government will be happy.

   In the eyes of the Australian government, Northern Australia is a piece of land that cannot be developed. No matter how rich the resources are, they can only be seen, not eaten. Even if they can touch it, they will not invest a lot of money and manpower and material resources. "

   "Australia lifted the ban earlier in order to attract Chinese people to enter and redevelop northern Australia. Australia is too large, and even in the more developed southern part, there are still many undeveloped areas.

   Now, they need a person, or a group of people to help them develop North Australia. They are very interested in Yang Sheng you. "

   "Uh..." Yang Sheng looked at Shen Conge in front of him with a wry smile, shook his head and said, "Mr. Shen, if a person gets too much attention from the government, it's not necessarily a good thing."

  Shen Porridge smiled lightly: "But it's not necessarily a bad thing, what does Yang Sheng think?"

   Yang Chen waved his hand and said: "Mr. Shen might as well talk about the conditions on the Australian side first, if it is acceptable, my previous plan to invest in Australia will remain unchanged, if the conditions are too high, my plan will have to make some changes.

  In addition to Australia, North America and South America, especially Brazil, are also in my plan. Compared with Australia's small population, development requires us to introduce a large number of people, and the development efforts are too large.

  Brazil has resources no less than Australia's, and its population advantage is even more prominent, which is far from what Australia can compare.

   Honestly, if it weren’t for the fact that Brazil is too far away and Australia is close to Asia and has a geographical advantage, I wouldn’t necessarily bother to develop a wasteland. "

   Hearing Yang Chen's words, Shen Cong couldn't help being silent, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

   As Yang Chen said, compared to Australia, Brazil has nothing to lose to Australia except the distance.

   If Yang Chen really shifts his focus to Brazil, the investment will be much less than the development of North Australia, and the risk is also much lower.

  Why is the Australian government willing to throw out the whole of Northern Australia? Are you willing to send someone to discuss the proposed conditions?

   It's not because of the difficulty of development in North Australia, no one is willing to invest in development, and even the people in Australia who give away land for free, no one is willing to go there.

   The root cause is this.

   Whether it is Yang Chen or the Australian government, both of them see it very clearly. If you want to develop North Australia and re-develop the North Australian economy, not only is there a huge investment, but the time and energy required is not what everyone can imagine.

  It's not very generous, who wants to go?

   Do you really think that land is valuable everywhere? Several million square kilometers, with a population of less than 20 million, tell me, how much is this land worth? ?
