Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

After Shen Bi and Bao Zixuan answered several tricky questions from reporters, the press conference ended. All newspaper reporters returned home with a full load today.

Of course there are exceptions, and that is the reporters from Sing Tao Daily. They know today that if they don’t change jobs, it will be difficult to get along in Hong Kong. This will be a difficult multiple-choice question, one that may determine the fate of their lives.

When Bao Zixuan returned home, it was already evening and they had been together for nearly a day. Although there should be celebrations after the completion of the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, I don’t know why. Bao Zixuan just can't get excited, and Hutchison Whampoa may also be a pressure for him.

I originally wanted to develop industry, but when I thought about the popularity of shipping terminals in the future. Bao Zixuan knew that he must control Hutchison Whampoa in his own hands. Only in this way will many future plans not be restricted by others.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, when Li Chaoren found out that Shen Bi had sold Hutchison Whampoa to Bao Zixuan. He felt very unhappy. He had been planning this fattening for a long time. Unexpectedly, Bao Zixuan was finally given the advantage, but he couldn't compete with others financially, so now he can only look for new goals.

There are four major foreign companies in Xiangjiang, namely Yihe, Hutchison, Swire and Wheelock. They are all well-established enterprises with a history of hundreds of years and play a decisive role in Hong Kong.

Each of the four major foreign banks has a different focus. Jardine's core industries are real estate and Wharf; they also control many high-quality land and office buildings in Central. Hutchison Whampoa's main business is docks and retail, and there are many docks and supermarkets.

Swire is mainly in the aviation industry, and Cathay Pacific is their subsidiary. Wheelock's main business is shipping transshipment, and it mainly conducts business in shipping.

Moreover, among the four major foreign banks, currently only Hutchison Whampoa does not have a controlling family, and it is also the only company that everyone has a chance to start. Now that Baozi Xuanjie has taken the lead, how can he not make other tycoons depressed?

Not only Li Chaoren, but also many Hong Kong tycoons who received the news were shocked. Among them, Dong Haoyun is the one who is most worried. In the past, all sea freight in Heiyun was transported through Dong's shipping company, but now Hutchison has many ships. In the future, we will definitely have to divide some of the business, but the only advantage is that Hutchison Whampoa itself does not have many ships.

After Fok Yingdong heard that Bao Zixuan had quietly acquired Hutchison Whampoa, he became more determined to take Bao Zixuan to the mainland. Hutchison Whampoa is a century-old company and one of the most well-known companies in the mainland. This undoubtedly adds to Bao Zixuan’s status and weight in Hong Kong.

And now that Bao Zixuan has entered the freight terminal industry, when the mainland wants to attract investment and introduce freight terminals in the future. Hutchison Whampoa is a good target. After all, Bao Zixuan is not opposed to investing in the mainland.

After Bao Yugang heard the report from his second son-in-law Wu Guangzheng at home, he now felt a little sorry for Li Chaoren. After all, it was he and Shen Bi who had agreed to sell Hutchison Whampoa shares held by HSBC to Li Chaoren. After Shen Bi failed to find himself as an intermediary, Hutchison Whampoa shares were acquired by Bao Zixuan. So what might Li Chaoren think of him? The most shocking thing is that Bao Zixuan can complete the acquisition within one day, which requires strong financial support.

Now it seems that many people still underestimate the richest man with the same surname as themselves, although his foundation in Hong Kong is not very stable. But in terms of financial resources, no one can be compared to Bao Zixuan.

After Bao Zixuan takes a stake in Hutchison Whampoa, the future focus of the British-funded consortium will no longer only focus on traditional tycoons. Now Heiyun Group is the company that poses the greatest threat to them. Then would it be smoother to acquire Wharf by myself? Then I thought about Yihe's terrifying strength, which was not comparable to that of Huang. It seemed that he had to figure it out slowly and find the right moment to strike with a fatal blow.

Bao Zixuan has already laid the foundation, and there won’t be many British people who will resist the acquisition of Wharf. After all, in terms of status, Hutchison Whampoa is much more important and well-known than Wharf. It was also based on this consideration that Bao Yugang asked Li Chaoren to take the lead in his previous life. In fact, both sides have their own ideas.

After Zheng Yutong received the news in his office, he couldn't calm down for a long time. Why did this guy Bao Zixuan acquire Hutchison Whampoa in such a short time! There was no sign of it before, but now it seems that I was deceived by the impression that he only wanted to build a factory in Xiangjiang. It’s not that I’m not interested in other industries, and I just don’t like small things.

Hutchison Whampoa has a lot of land, so it will be much easier to enter the real estate market. If Bao Zixuan enters the real estate industry, Heiyun's strength will quickly make him stand out. This is by no means good news for other real estate companies in Hong Kong.

It seems that I need to find a time to chat with this young man alone to see if we can cooperate. Thinking of this, I might as well go home and ask my daughter what she thinks. After all, my daughter and Heiyun have the deepest friendship between mother and son in Xiangjiang.

Li Shauji also had his own thoughts when he heard that Bao Zixuan had acquired Hutchison Whampoa. He had always been very optimistic about the Xiangjiang gas market. But now the gas companies are all controlled by the British, since Bao Zixuan, even Hutchison Huang can successfully acquire them. Then the British, who are relatively less famous in the gas company, should not resist and will speed up the progress themselves. This man, who is known as the Asian Stock God, is a master of capital operations. In his previous life, he was always the second richest man in Hong Kong, and sometimes even ranked higher than Li Chaoren.

Although Stanley Ho is in the gambling city, he still knows everything about Xiangjiang. After all, the Ho family still has a profound influence in Xiangjiang, although Stanley Ho has recently withdrawn from business in Xiangjiang. However, no one can underestimate the He family's status in Xiangjiang.

In fact, Stanley Ho has always wanted to enter other fields. It is impossible to continue the family's glory for a long time by relying solely on the gambling and entertainment industries. And compared with other tycoons, his financial strength is not weak at all, but he is not as influential as these shipping kings and real estate tycoons. To put it bluntly, it is due to the industry in which he is engaged.

In the eyes of the public, it is more acceptable for people to engage in other industries that tycoons engage in. The gambling industry is still a side industry. Therefore, Stanley Ho has long wanted to enter other fields, but he has never had the opportunity. Now that we see that Bao Zixuan can acquire Hutchison Whampoa quietly, does that mean that he can also do this? After all, although the money is less than that of Bao Zixuan, Ho Hongsheng thinks that the cash flow is still sufficient compared to others. Lush.

Bao Zixuan didn't know what other people thought, and he didn't need to know. When he arrived home, he saw Li Yulin waiting for him at home, but she looked not in a good mood.

Li Yulin: "I heard that you held a press conference with HSBC Shen Bi in the afternoon. This person is very cunning. You must be more careful when dealing with him. Also, what do you think of Zheng Jiajia, or do you have other preferences? girl."

"Axuan, you have more and more assets now, and you also need to consider your personal issues. This is no longer a trivial matter, it is a big issue related to the sustainable development of your company. Without a successor, your subordinates will not see hope. In this way very dangerous."

Bao Zixuan didn't expect that his mother would start to mention this issue again, but he really didn't think about it now. I am very conflicted about this and I never know what to do.

Bao Zixuan: "Don't worry! Shen Bi and I just held a press conference on the issue of Hutchison Whampoa's equity change. From now on, I will have the final say in Hutchison Whampoa. I already hold 49% of Hutchison Whampoa's shares."

It sounds like my son said it so lightly, as if nothing happened. But Li Yulin knew Hutchison's important position in Xiangjiang. This is one of the four major foreign banks, and now it is acquired by my son. Why didn't I feel any excitement at all? What did my son think when he did it?

In fact, Bao Zixuan was not particularly excited because this acquisition was too easy and there was no sense of accomplishment. It feels extremely unreal.
