Hong Kong Island chaebol prince: Starting from marrying Zhong Chuhong

Next, Cao Kun and Sharon Stone arrived at Apple's headquarters.

The modern building of glass and steel glistens in the sunlight like a technological fortress of the futuristic world.

They walked into the spacious and bright lobby and were immediately attracted by the simple yet elegant design style.

This design style fits perfectly with the concept of Apple's products, and people can't help but admire Jobs' aesthetic and taste.

In the conference room, Jobs had been waiting for a long time.

He wore a signature black turtleneck with a pair of jeans, looking casual and stylish.

When Sharon Stone and her team walked into the conference room, Jobs' eyes flashed with appreciation.

He had long heard of the name of this team of Jewish professionals carefully recruited by Goldman Sachs, and now he was even more satisfied to see them in person.

Cao Kun was the first to speak, his voice firm and confident: "Mr. Jobs, we are very optimistic about Apple's development prospects.

We believe that Apple products have unique advantages in terms of design concept, user experience, and future innovation direction.

We hope to be a shareholder of Apple and work together to promote the development of the company!"

Jobs smiled slightly, he knew that this young team was not here to talk.

He motioned for Cao Kun to continue.

Cao Kun paused and continued: "We have carefully studied Apple's product line and market performance.

We believe that Apple has huge market potential in areas such as home computers, and Apple's computers have become one of the best-selling computers in the world.

We believe that in the future, Apple will continue to maintain its leading position and launch more innovative products!"

Jobs listened to Cao Kun's statement and couldn't help but nod in agreement.

He knows that the team has a deep understanding of Apple and has a clear plan for future development.

He began to develop a keen interest in the young team.

Sharon Stone also added: "Mr. Jobs, we have a lot of professional technicians and market analysts on our team.

They have in-depth research on both Apple's technology and market.

We believe that in the future cooperation, we can bring more innovation and market opportunities to Apple!"

Jobs's eyes flashed after hearing this, and he knew that this team not only had strong financial strength, but also rich technical and market experience.

Working with them is undoubtedly a wise choice.

After a lot of intense negotiations and in-depth exchanges, Jobs finally decided to accept Cao Kun's proposal.

He transferred 81,020% of Apple's shares to Cao Kun's team for the same price.

Apple's 20% shares, if not diluted in the future, will create a huge profit of $300 billion for Cao Kun in the future!

This acquisition has strengthened Cao Kun and Sharon Stone's conviction and determination.

Finally, their journey came to Oracle's door.

Oracle, a technology giant, is known for its powerful database software technology and is a global leader in the database field.

Its founder, Larry Ellison, was a legendary figure whose charisma and business acumen had made Oracle soar from place to place.

When Larry Ellison learns that the Jewish consortium is interested in investing in Oracle, his eyes light up with excitement.

For him, this is not only an injection of funds, but also an affirmation of Oracle's future development prospects.

He couldn't wait to get to know the Jewish team and see if they could bring new energy and innovation to Oracle.

The negotiation process was extremely intense, and the two sides had in-depth discussions on key issues such as the proportion of shares, the amount of investment and the direction of future cooperation.

Sharon Stone and her team demonstrated a deep understanding of Oracle's technology and an accurate grasp of its future market, and they analyzed Oracle's market position, technical advantages, and future development trends in the database space in detail.

Sharon Stone said calmly and confidently: "Mr. Larry, we are very optimistic about Oracle's technical strength and market prospects.

We believe that in the next few years, with the rapid development of big data and cloud computing, the database market will usher in huge growth opportunities.

Oracle, as the world's leading database software company, will undoubtedly be the main beneficiary of this market!"

Larry Ellison nodded his head frequently, and he was very pleased with the professionalism and ingenuity of the Jewish team.

After some intense discussions and negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement: Cao Kun will buy a 20% stake in Oracle for $200 million.

With the completion of the acquisition, Cao Kun and Sharon Stone's business empire grew again.

In addition, Sharon Stone's team successfully acquired 20% of each of five other high-tech companies in the same way.

The entire acquisition process went exceptionally well, costing $800 million in total.

After each successful acquisition, Cao Kun would hug Sharon Stone tightly to celebrate their victory.

Cao Kun and Sharon Stone sat in the presidential suite, with bright lights and bustling night scenes outside, while inside the room were the two of them talking in a low and deep voice.

Sharon Stone gently took a sip of the red wine in her hand, and there was a hint of puzzlement in her eyes: "Cao Kun, I really don't understand, why don't you want to control those high-tech companies?"

As long as you want, we can become the largest shareholder of those companies and have the absolute right to speak!"

Cao Kun smiled slightly, he shook his head: "Sharon, you know that I have always liked to keep a low profile.

Holding those companies gives me more power, but it also puts me in the limelight.

When the time comes, countless people will begin to investigate my background and whereabouts, and my existing mystery and low-key will disappear without a trace!"

He paused, then continued: "And now, although I don't have a lot of shares, it's enough for me to have a place in the future Fortune 500.

This kind of inconspicuous approach is exactly what I am after.

I can quietly influence the development of these companies behind the scenes, without having to stand in front of the stage and face those unnecessary troubles!"

Sharon Stone listened to Cao Kun's explanation and seemed to understand his thoughts a little.

She nodded, "I see, you want to maintain a sense of mystery and make yourself comfortable in the business world."

But do you really think you can achieve your goals with just a small stake?"

Cao Kun smiled confidently: "Of course, don't forget the strength of our Goldman Sachs Group.

Even if we only have a small stake, we can still have a huge impact on those companies if we plan and operate them carefully.

Moreover, this influence is subtle and does not attract much attention from the outside world!"

He paused, and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "However, don't underestimate these small shares.

Although we only own 20% or less of each company, if you add these shares, it will be a huge asset.

In the future, I will definitely become a trillionaire, and this trillion, and it may be dollars!"

Sharon Stone was deeply shocked by Cao Kun's words.

She looked at the man in front of her, her heart full of admiration and expectation.

Following Cao Kun, she will definitely be able to witness the rise of a business empire.

......

Cao Kun sat in his spacious office, looking at a picture on the wall.

It shows the map of his carefully constructed business empire, and the proportion of shares in each company is clearly displayed in front of his eyes.

Just then, the phone rang suddenly, breaking the silence of the office.

Cao Kun picked up the phone, and Mr. Huo Yingdong's familiar voice came from the receiver: "Cao Kun, where are you now?"

Someone from the capital is here, I want to see you, hurry back to Hong Kong Island!"

Cao Kun's heart sank, he knew the importance of this call.

He quickly responded: "Okay, Mr. Huo, I'll go back to Hong Kong Island right away!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone and began to make arrangements to return to Hong Kong Island.

On the way back to Hong Kong Island, Mr. Huo's words kept echoing in Cao Kun's mind.

He knew that the people from the capital were definitely not ordinary people, and this meeting must have extraordinary significance.

When Cao Kun returned to Hong Kong Island, it was already nightfall.

He went directly to the place designated by Mr. Huo, full of anticipation and a little nervous.

In a high-end clubhouse on Hong Kong Island, the atmosphere is solemn and elegant.

Cao Kun and his father, Cao Wenbiao, were invited by Mr. Fok Yingdong to meet several important people.

As soon as Cao Kun entered the door, his eyes were attracted by the three middle-aged men next to Mr. Huo Yingdong.

Their temperaments are different, but all of them reveal an extraordinary majesty.

One of them was slightly chubby and had a kind face, and looked like a businessman who would be comfortable in the merchant world, while the other two were neatly dressed and had a serious expression, much like a public servant.

When Mr. Fok Yingdong saw Cao Wenbiao and Cao Kun coming in, he stood up with a smile and began to introduce the three middle-aged men.

"Wen Biao, Ah Kun, this is Mr. Rong.

The Zhongwei International Trust and Investment Company presided over by him was established just last month, and it is an important force in the financial field of our country!"

Mr. Fok Yingdong's tone was full of respect.

Cao Kun was taken aback, this is really a big man with hands and eyes, and his influence in the economic field even exceeds that of Mr. Huo.

In 1979, Zhongwei International Trust and Investment Company was officially born.

This enterprise has not only taken on the important task of pilot projects in economic reform, but has also become an important window for opening up to the outside world.

Through the active introduction of foreign capital, cutting-edge technology and international advanced management experience, Zhongwei International Trust and Investment Company operates steadily in accordance with international practices, and strives to explore a new channel of market economy in the tide of planned economy.

Its outstanding contributions have not only strongly promoted economic construction, but also won wide praise and trust at home and abroad.

Then, he pointed to the slightly chubby middle-aged man and said, "This is Commissioner Liu sent by the capital, and he holds an important position in the capital!"

Finally, he introduced President Li, director of the Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong bureau: "President Li is not only the person in charge of the Xinhua News Agency on Hong Kong Island, but also an important bridge between Beijing and Hong Kong Island!"

Don't underestimate the Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch, which is not only a news agency, but also the predecessor of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government.

Cao Kun was a little confused at the time, why did these three big men come to see their father and son?

They originally wanted to go to the capital and open up the line between heaven and earth, but Cao Kun was now in a hurry to invest in oil futures and had not yet had time to rush to the capital.

Unexpectedly, the capital sent a special commissioner to summon him.

In short, these three are all big names placed on Hong Kong Island by the mainland, and each of them can be equal to Mr. Fok Yingdong.

Their status and influence are currently surpassing Cao Wenbiao and Cao Kunfuzi.

After all, Cao Kun acquired Microsoft, Apple, and Oracle before, and no one knew about it, and now his extraordinary influence cannot be revealed.

And Cao Kun himself has a net worth of 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, and now he has not been exposed to the public.

Most of his dollar assets are now in Swiss banks, and he only claims to have made HK$3 billion.

They originally planned to go to the capital to open up relations, but now it seems that the capital has taken the initiative to extend an olive branch to them.

Mr. Fok Yingdong saw Cao Wenbiao's doubts. He said with a smile: "Wen Biao, you may not know that Ah Kun's operation in the oil futures market has brought our country a profit of 400 million US dollars!"

This is a great achievement, so the above specially sent Commissioner Liu and President Li to reward you!"

Cao Wenbiao and Cao Kun are still very puzzled, how did they earn 400 million US dollars in foreign exchange?

Huo Yingdong saw Cao Kun's doubts and took the initiative to explain: "In the past 10 years, I have been suppressed by the United States and England, and they have restricted many of my actions.

So, I didn't actually make much money during this time.

Half of the HK$1 billion I gave you was funded by Zhongwei International Trust and Investment Group.

In order to be able to make a difference in the oil futures market, I spent a lot of effort to persuade Mr. Rong, and finally he agreed to invest $100 million and joined us.

That's why you can earn $400 million in foreign exchange for the country through oil futures operations without knowing it!"

Now Cao Wenbiao and Cao Kun all understand that without Cao Kun's knowledge, they have contributed to the country in this way.

Mr. Rong, Committee Member Liu, and President Li all expressed their gratitude and appreciation for Cao Kun's oil futures speculation that earned the country $400 million in foreign exchange.

You must know that in 1979, our country's foreign exchange reserves were only 840 million US dollars, and Cao Kun earned 400 million US dollars in foreign exchange for the country, which shows how important it is, so we must give him a reward.

Because of this $400 million profit, CITIC Group got off to a good start.

You must know that in 1979, when the prototype of CITIC Group was just formed, the company lacked resources and the conditions were difficult.

CITIC's office was moved from Rong Zhai to the Peace Hotel, and the environment was extremely simple.

Even the office of the general manager of the company is only a small space of 8 square meters, which is nicknamed the "pigeon cage".

Employees had to huddle into a tiny room that was both an office and a bedroom, enduring the heat and inconvenience.

Only when receiving important foreign guests, they will grit their teeth and rent a large and spacious conference room to show the company's image.

The $400 million earned by Cao Kun for CITIC not only increased a considerable share of the country's foreign exchange, but also benefited CITIC greatly, at least their office environment could be greatly changed.

Mr. Rong discussed with the above and gave a seat on a director of CITIC Group to Cao Kun's father, Cao Wenbiao.

Mr. Rong also walked over, shook Cao Kun's hand and said, "Young people are promising! You have made such a great contribution to our country, and we should all thank you!"

Committee member Liu and President Li also expressed their appreciation and gratitude to Cao Kun.

In this day and age, foreign exchange reserves are so important to a country.

And Cao Kun's speculation in oil futures has earned the country 400 million US dollars in foreign exchange, which is undoubtedly a very commendable thing.

Cao Kun's heart was full of excitement and pride at the moment, he didn't expect that his operation could bring such great benefits to the country.

And what made him even happier was that the position of director of CITIC Group fell into the hands of his father Cao Wenbiao.

This location is undoubtedly a very important opportunity for the Cao family to better open up their relationship with the capital and pave the way for future development.

Cao Kun was overjoyed, the position of director of CITIC Group was particularly crucial, and he used this position to open up the relationship with the capital.

It turned out that in that time and space, this position belonged to Li Bancheng, because Li Bancheng won Hutchison Whampoa in the original history, and his strength increased greatly, and he went to the capital again, and was favored by the above, so he invited him to become a director of CITIC Group.

But in fact, it has been proved that Li Bancheng is a capitalist who is mercenary and wants to be the first and the first to the end, and he is useless to the country, and he is a thief when he is old.

Now Cao Kun's father Cao Wenbiao is in this position, which is good for both the Cao family and the country.......
