The bank that Wu Yifa bought was called Hewlett-Packard Bank. Its main business was in the major provinces in the north. It had more than ten branches and 1,300 sub-branches. Furthermore, the land was all his.
The original owner was very bold and wanted to develop Hewlett-Packard Bank step by step. At its peak, its market value was more than 500 billion yuan. It was very famous among private banks.
Unfortunately, the original owner contracted a terminal illness last year and died in less than two months. His son was not cut out for it. In just a year, the bank suffered heavy losses. His son was smart and saw that things were not going well. He had no choice but to sell it.
Wu Yifa was worried because he did not know how to deal with these bank shells. When he remembered that Xiao Yunhai owned Barkel Bank, he thought about it.
Seeing Wu Yifa's smiling eyes, Xiao Yunhai pretended not to know. He frowned and said, "This is really a big problem. I heard that Hewlett-Packard Bank's branches are located in the most prosperous areas of the major cities. Ordinary people can't afford them. "
Wu Yifa said, "If someone is also in the private banking business and happens to have a strong cash flow, that would be great. Isn't that right, Old Xiao? "
"That's right." Xiao Yunhai nodded. He looked at the time, stood up, and said, "Oh, it's getting late. I need to go to Dream Special Effects. Let's talk another day. "
Wu Yifa grabbed his arm and scolded him with a smile, "You little brat, don't play dumb here. Sit properly for me."
Xiao Yunhai didn't tease him anymore and said, "Old Wu, you invited me over in such a hurry just for this matter. To be honest, I don't have any plans to open Barkel Bank in Hua Xia. "
"Not now doesn't mean that it won't happen in the future. Old Xiao, I won't let you lose out. " Wu Yifa pulled Xiao Yunhai to his computer and opened a folder. "This is information about the major branches and sub-branches. Whether it's the location or the renovation, it's all very good. Let me tell you, the price of real estate is rising by the day. If you miss this village, you won't get another one. "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and forced a smile, "You know I don't care about these things. Well, I'll call the president of my Barker Bank when I have time and ask him what he thinks. "
Wu Yifa said, "Don't use such vulgar words to dismiss me. You have to make the call now, right now, in front of me. "
Xiao Yunhai rolled his eyes and said, "You're really ruthless, brat."
Taking out his phone, Xiao Yunhai called Zhao Guangting.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao. What can I do for you?"
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "What orders do I have? Old Zhao, how's the bank doing recently? "
Zhao Guangting said, "Everything is normal. This month's profit has exceeded last month's. I was just about to report to you. Can we open more branches? "
Xiao Yunhai asked, "How much money do you need?"
Zhao Guangting smiled and said, "I don't need much. We only need to rent, we don't need to buy. Based on the current situation, adding more than a hundred branches won't be a problem. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Okay, I'll leave these things to you. I just want results. I called you this time to ask you about something. With the current development of Barker Bank, when will they have the conditions to attack Hua Xia? "
Zhao Guangting thought for a moment and said, "It will take at least a year, and we have to do publicity work in advance. Because in Hua Xia, the four big banks are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If we want to take something from them, we can't do it without sufficient preparation. Mr. Xiao, why are you asking this? "
Xiao Yunhai told him about HP Bank and said, "Old Zhao, do you think there's a need to buy them?"
Zhao Guangting said, "Of course there is. Mr. Xiao, our bank has been paying a lot of attention to the domestic real estate market recently. We predict that in the next ten years, there will be a big leap in development. If we can buy these places in advance, it will be a very good thing for us. At the very least, even if Barker Bank doesn't succeed in the domestic market, we can still make a profit with these lands. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Okay, I know what you mean. How about this, you bring some people over tomorrow and personally take a look at those branches. If they're suitable, we'll buy them. "
Zhao Guangting said awkwardly, "Boss, the problem is that the bank's money has been invested, and we can't use our reserves. We really don't have the money to buy them."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Then I'll buy them privately first. When our bank comes to Hua Xia, we'll sell them according to the current real estate prices. Haha, who knows, I might even be able to make a lot of money. "
Zhao Guangting nodded and said, "Okay. I'll bring some people over tomorrow morning. "
After ending the call with Zhao Guangting, Xiao Yunhai said, "It's done. When Zhao Guangting comes over and sees that there's no problem with those places, I'll buy them. Old Wu, business is business. How much are you going to sell them to me for? "
Wu Yifa smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer a loss. How about this, I'll sell them to you for the same amount that our company paid for them. Am I a good friend? "
Xiao Yunhai snorted and said, "Don't give me that. According to what you said, you didn't spend a single cent and got a bank system for free. How can you say that I'm a good friend? You're really thick-skinned. "
Wu Yifa chuckled and said, "Your choice of words is too inaccurate. I'm not the one who got a system for free. It should be us. "
Xiao Yunhai rolled his eyes and said, "Don't talk to me about these useless things. How much is it? "
Wu Yifa said, "Not much, 26.3 billion."
Hewlett-Packard Bank had more than a dozen branches, and each of them was more than 2,000 square meters. The 1,300 branches were also more than 500 square meters, and they were all located in the busiest areas. Therefore, the price of 26.3 billion was not expensive.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai said, "Okay, we'll talk after Zhao Guangting and the rest finish their inspection."
Wu Yifa flashed a victorious smile and snapped his fingers. "No problem."
Xiao Yunhai drove to Fantasy Special Effects after leaving the headquarters of Yun Yi Shopping Network.
Entering the building, the employees greeted Xiao Yunhai respectfully when they saw him. Xiao Yunhai nodded back with a smile.
"Hey, Brother Li, what's going on today? The boss actually came to our company in person."
"I don't know, I'm wondering too."
"I heard that the R&D team seems to have solved a new technology. That's why the boss is here."
"Really?"
Even though everyone's voices were extremely soft, Xiao Yunhai's ears were so sharp that he heard everything clearly, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.
When he arrived at his office, Xiao Yunhai called Zhang Guanghe and Wu Hao and asked them to come over.
In less than two minutes, Zhang Guanghe and Wu Hao walked in one after another.
Zhang Guanghe was the first to express his dissatisfaction with Xiao Yunhai. "Mr. Xiao, you still know that Fantasy Special Effects is your business. In the past year, apart from working on the post-production of 'Prison Break', I don't think you've been here once. I've been calling you almost every month to update you on the company's development. You, on the other hand, are always busy. I … I don't know what to say. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled. "This means that I don't have to worry about you, Mr. Zhang. If I were to come three times a day, that'd be a problem. Mr. Zhang, tell me about the company's income and expenditure first, then we'll go take a look at Wu Hao and the rest's research results. "
Zhang Guanghe nodded and introduced Fantasy Special Effects' annual development to Xiao Yunhai.
Since they had the 3D special effects technology, Fantasy Special Effects had surpassed all the special effects companies in the world, including Magic City, in terms of fame and profits. Their market value had reached 268 billion USD, and their annual profit was 185 billion USD. Most of it was brought in through the 3D technology. Of course, it also included the large sum of money they scammed from Steyr Networks at the beginning of the year.
However, this was a one-time deal. The 3D screen, 3D camera, and so on had a long lifespan and couldn't be changed every year. Therefore, Fantasy Special Effects could only earn money through patents. Even so, they could still bring in more than 30 billion USD in profits for Xiao Yunhai every year.
Xiao Yunhai nodded and smiled. "Since Fantasy Special Effects has achieved such good results this year, why don't we have an annual meeting before the New Year to celebrate? When the time comes, we'll give each employee a minimum of 500,000 USD as a reward. Then, we'll take out some money to make games and make them happy. "
Zhang Guanghe's eyes lit up. "If that's the case, everyone's enthusiasm will definitely increase."
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "It's decided then. You'll be in charge of the time, location, and details of the annual meeting. Just let me know when the time comes. "
Zhang Guanghe nodded and said, "No problem."
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "Since we're done with the company, let's go take a look at Boss Wu's IMAX 3D technology."
Wu Hao said confidently, "Whether it's the IMAX camera or the IMAX screen, they've all passed a series of tests. There's absolutely no problem."
After that, Wu Hao got up and brought Xiao Yunhai and Zhang Guanghe to the screening room on the third floor.
