Reborn in 1992, from a car repair shop to an automotive empire

Chapter 21: A Gathering of Hong Kong Businessmen, Joint Ventures

"Where am I supposed to get 30,000 yuan?"

Wang Yang was somewhat depressed.

The 30,000 yuan shortfall won't be covered by Wang Yang just because he's tough.

Thirty thousand yuan is not a small amount. Perhaps Wang Yang should wait for another batch of goods instead of being stubborn.

There's still no news about a second batch of goods from Pengcheng, and these two auto repair shops could be swallowed up by the two industry giants at any time.

Wang Yang didn't have time to wait.

"Loan sharks? No way, that's a bottomless pit."

Getting a bank loan seems like a long shot, so it's better to wait for the second batch of goods.

Finding a loan shark might get you a loan quickly, but the interest will snowball just as fast, and if you can't pay it back, you'll be in big trouble.

If they could find relatives and friends who could come up with 30,000 yuan, the Wang family wouldn't need to repair cars on the street.

After much deliberation, Wang Yang set his sights on a target.

Hong Kong businessman.

The mainland market is like a huge cake, attracting many Hong Kong businessmen.

Following the Southern Tour speeches, these Hong Kong businessmen were eager to make a big splash.

Thirty thousand dollars is just a drop in the ocean for Hong Kong businessmen.

Attracting Hong Kong investment and transforming into joint ventures can secure more subsidies and reduce operational constraints.

Whether it's expanding scale or raising funds, if you can get in touch with Hong Kong businessmen, things will go smoothly in the future.

……

Black Swan Hotel.

This hotel is the first five-star hotel in the country designed and built entirely by Chinese people.

The project was a joint venture between the Guangdong Provincial Tourism Bureau and Hong Kong businessmen Huo Dong and Peng Jiazhen, with a total investment of over 40 million US dollars.

With its owner, Fok Tung, overseeing this hotel, it's a popular choice for Hong Kong's four major families and numerous foreign businessmen to stay.

"I wonder if I'll run into some big shot."

Wang Yang specially rented a suit, dressed impeccably, and successfully fooled the security guard at the gate.

As he passed by, the security guard saluted him.

Indeed, clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse.

In the magnificent hall, many people, like Wang Yang, dressed in suits, were wandering around.

There were waiters, bodyguards, and others like Wang Yang who wanted to get some money from Hong Kong businessmen.

Real big shots don't just wander around the lobby for no reason.

Just as Wang Yang was looking around, a commotion broke out at the front desk.

"You mean you wanted to discuss business with Mr. Li, but didn't receive an invitation?"

"Yes, tell Mr. Li that I have a big business opportunity!"

"You're the 186th person to say that, security guard!"

The receptionist called out loudly, but before the security guards arrived, the man was restrained by two bodyguards.

"You can't treat me like this! The Li family association has lost hundreds of millions, no, billions, because of this!"

"Give me a chance! It doesn't have to be Li Xiang, anyone from the four major families will do! I only need five minutes! No, just three minutes!"

The person who was caught struggled fiercely, and the already ill-fitting suit shifted and became a mess as he struggled.

However, the man did not get a chance; instead, he was grabbed by two bodyguards and thrown out.

"In Li Township, among the four major families, it's useless to even look for these people."

Wang Yang sat in the lobby lounge area, picked up a cup of coffee, and watched the farce unfolding at the front desk.

Among Hong Kong businessmen, the four major families are undoubtedly the most prestigious of all.

Li Xiang, a real estate tycoon who loves to show off, is a topic that almost everyone in business has to talk about.

People of this caliber deal directly with cities or even provinces.

If you could see someone just by having the receptionist pass on a message, that would be too low-class.

"Brother, you look down on Li Xiang too?"

A young man in a suit and tie leaned closer to Wang Yang and whispered something.

"Don't talk nonsense. I look down on the people who were just kicked out."

Wang Yang waved his hand, startled by the young man who suddenly approached him.

He hasn't figured out a way to contact Hong Kong businessmen yet, and he doesn't want to be asked to leave by bodyguards for saying something inappropriate.

"Hehe, I was just kidding."

"My name is Huang Wenjie, what's yours?"

"Wang Yang."

Huang Wenjie speaks with a strong Hokkien accent, and his purpose in coming here is probably to get some money from Hong Kong businessmen.

"Don't be so cold. Besides Li Xiang and the four major families, who else do you know?"

Huang Wenjie adopted a curious expression and struck up a conversation with Wang Yang.

"Liu Yingfu, Zhang Rongfang..." Wang Yang paused after mentioning a few names, "They are all powerful Hong Kong businessmen. You can find out by asking around among your friends who have been to Hong Kong Island."

These people, who have long been suppressed by the four major families, are eager to make a big splash in the new battlefield of the mainland market.

Wang Yang's purpose in making this trip was to find a way to contact a Hong Kong businessman.

By analyzing future market trends, we can provide groundbreaking business strategies for the next few years in exchange for investment.

If this works out, it will be like having a Hong Kong businessman's background, making everything easier.

If it doesn't work out, then I'll just have to go back to making motorcycles and saving up money.

"I didn't realize you were so knowledgeable."

Huang Wenjie was somewhat surprised and moved closer to Wang Yang, looking him up and down.

Has this kid been to Hong Kong Island?

"Hong Kong Island is right there; if you put in the effort, you can find out about it."

Wang Yang was speechless; Huang Wenjie really had no sense of boundaries.

After exchanging only a few words, Huang Wenjie sat down next to him.

Huang Wenjie became interested. "Hey brother, wanna do business? I have a big deal!"

"If you don't do it, you'll lose hundreds of millions! No, billions!"

"That's what the person who was just kicked out said too."

Wang Yang became alert.

This guy probably figured he couldn't get through to the Hong Kong businessmen, so he's trying to scam money from the people in the lobby.

After all, people who think of coming here to find Hong Kong businessmen must have some financial resources.

Making money off this group is also a viable way to make money.

"I was just joking, don't be so nervous."

"If you have nothing else to do, it's time for me to check in."

Wang Yang planned to stay there first, figure out the Hong Kong businessman's travel patterns, and then find an opportunity to bump into him in the underground parking garage.

Wang Yang still felt the pinch, even though it cost several hundred or even a thousand yuan a night.

However, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; the money that needs to be spent still has to be spent.

"It's not cheap here, are you really willing to spend that much?"

Huang Wenjie was somewhat surprised. It wasn't that he was stingy with money, but rather that he was surprised that Wang Yang was willing to spend this amount.

Most of the people in the lobby didn't even have suits that fit properly, let alone the money to stay in a hotel.

The room fee of over a thousand yuan is equivalent to four or five months' wages for an average worker in mainland China.

There aren't many people with that kind of courage.

"When it comes to spending money, why talk about being reluctant?"

"Hehe, can I rub against you for a bit?"

That's enough.

Wang Yang got up and left, ignoring Huang Wenjie behind him.

I should check the Chinese almanac before going out today.

Not only did they not encounter any Hong Kong businessmen, but they also ran into a weirdo.

In such a high-class place, people are even coming to freeload.

How much does it cost to freeload? It's even more expensive to freeload for the whole night.

"Okay, sir, here is your room key. Have a pleasant stay."

The receptionist respectfully handed over a black room key, welcoming Wang Yang to check in.

In this day and age, people are actually using room cards.

Although it's just an insertable magnetic stripe card, it's still quite advanced.

"1202, not bad, I've noted it down."

Huang Wenjie appeared behind Wang Yang like a ghost, staring at the room number on his room card.

"Mr. Huang, do you two know each other?"

Huang Wenjie's behavior clearly crossed the line and constituted intrusion into the privacy of residents.

The receptionist did not stop him, but instead greeted Huang Wenjie respectfully.

"Yes, he is my friend."

Huang Wenjie handed a business card to the bewildered Wang Yang.

Huang Wenjie, Deputy Investment Director of South China Region, Zhongce Group.

Wang Yang has hit the jackpot this time.
