Reborn Tycoon Rise

A month ago, the American media widely reported that the investor of "Home Alone", a young boy from Xiangjiang, had successfully created one of the most profitable movies in Hollywood history. At the same time, the operating conditions of the arcade were also dug out, and Xu Zhi was American media is worth $500 million!

Although the 1970s was not the Internet era of later generations, the American media was so overwhelmingly promoting a Chinese from Hong Kong, so it was impossible for the media in Hong Kong not to know about it.

After Ming Pao, Oriental Daily, Ta Kung Pao and other media learned about what happened in the United States, they began to investigate various details around Xu Zhi, and at the same time, they also raised his fame to a height that is unprecedented in the sky!

A self-made young man from Xiangjiang has become worth US$500 million in just 2 years. Not to mention Xiangjiang, this is a miracle in business history all over the world!

As a key target, Midea has been investigated by various media outlets. Some reporters with great intelligence, based on export data from Xiangjiang and the prices of end products in the United States, analyzed that Midea Electronics' monthly revenue exceeds 150 million with just a few arcade machines. The Hong Kong dollar is still on an upward trend.

Just with a few games, Midea can theoretically become one of the top ten companies in Hong Kong. Although Midea itself has a small number of employees, the number of jobs generated by OEMs is estimated to have exceeded 10,000, and Xiangjiang Exports The data also increased by 2 percentage points!

Although the industry in Hong Kong is very developed, the total scale is huge, and basically no industrial giant has been born. From the 1950s to the 1970s, various watch kings, steel kings, and plastic kings were born in the industry, but these are just peers. It's just a title given by some media. In front of various real shipping and real estate tycoons, various so-called "industrial tycoons" cannot reach the level of "tycoon". This is why Comrade Li changed his career from a plastics tycoon to a real estate tycoon. root cause.

It wasn't until the emergence of Midea Electronics that these traditional wealthy families discovered that industry could be so profitable!

However, the fun is not over yet. The transaction price of the film rights between Xu Zhi and Sony shocked the whole of Hong Kong, even Asia and even the world!

Of course Xu Zhi also wanted to keep it a secret, but as Sony was a listed company, such a large transaction must be announced to shareholders. The transaction volume of US$250 million was equivalent to the net profit of the top ten listed companies in Hong Kong in 1978.

Although Xu Zhi was revealed to be worth hundreds of millions in August last year, and later joined forces with Yangtze River Industries to forcibly acquire Yingni, it did not actually attract much attention from many Hong Kong giants. However, at this moment, various data show that a A new generation of super-rich people has emerged, and they cannot be ignored!

"Alas! Now that you have money, things have become more complicated!" Xu Zhi looked at the invitation in his hand and frowned.

Yao Mingcheng smiled and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. The cash in your hand, Xu Sheng, makes everyone jealous, not to mention that Midea has gradually become the leading company in Hong Kong's electronics industry. This invitation from the Hong Kong Governor's Office is also normal behavior." .”

Gameboy began to be released simultaneously in Japan and the United States in early March. He Guoyuan himself was relatively conservative, and only prepared 500,000 stocks after Xu Zhi's forced intervention.

However, the market response was far beyond what He Guoyuan and even Xu Zhi expected, because Xiangjiang Cube and Snake are both extremely time-killing, and combined with portable game consoles, they are simply magic weapons for killing time for young people who have nothing to do during the day. Sharp weapon.

500,000 Gameboy units were quickly sold out, and a total of 3 million orders from all over the world immediately made Midea's major OEMs in Hong Kong very busy.

OEMs only assemble, and a large number of plastic casings and electronic components need to be purchased from other manufacturers in Hong Kong. Traditional electronics factories and plastic factories in Xiangjiang also received orders from Midea OEMs, and the sluggish industry was immediately injected with strong vitality. .

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "It's not as simple as you think. MacLehose's invitation to so many rich people this time is not really for a charity party!"

Wang Liming, who was standing aside, asked: "What inside information does Xu Sheng have?"

Wang Liming stayed in New York for a while after Xu Zhi left the United States. In accordance with Xu Zhi's requirements, he purchased $1.25 billion in gold at an average price of $302 an ounce after leveraging financing.

At first, he was very worried, fearing that his position would be forcibly liquidated if there was a sharp drop. It was not until the price of gold reached $350 more than half a month later, and the power of Wall Street bulls continued to increase, that he felt relieved.

In fact, although Xu Zhi was in Xiangjiang, he was also very worried about gold futures. It was not until gold rose a lot that he calmed down and recalled Wang Liming!

Xu Zhi said: "You don't need to worry about it. I can't refuse the invitation of the Hong Kong Governor's Office no matter what. Wang Liming, you go with me this time. You should have contacted many rich people at HSBC. When the time comes, introduce them to me." , otherwise I wouldn’t know anyone, it would be too embarrassing!”

Wang Liming nodded and agreed: "No problem!"

"Then you go out first!" Xu Zhi knocked on the corner of the table and began to think deeply.

The charity dinner held by the Hong Kong Governor's Office seemed to be a charity auction for the poor elderly and orphans in Hong Kong, but this time it was too large, with hundreds of wealthy people and senior executives from banks and foreign companies invited.

No charity party requires so many rich people to attend. Even if you really want to raise money, the party also invites many politicians and people from the cultural field. This scale brings together almost all the elites in Hong Kong!

Anyone with real connections knows that at the end of last month, MacLehose was entrusted by the British Foreign Office to go to the mainland capital for an unofficial visit. What was the purpose of his visit? Many people actually know it.

Xiangjiang was leased by the British from the Qing government in 1898. According to the contract between the British Empire and the Qing government at the time, the lease period was 99 years. That is, in 1997, the mainland government could take back Xiangjiang.

British senior officials have long been aware of this historical issue. When the mainland began to break the ice with the West in the early 1970s, the then British Prime Minister intended to discuss this issue when he visited the mainland, but in the end the negotiation failed due to various reasons.

By 1978, the British Foreign Office decided to resolve the matter as soon as possible. At the end of 1978, Hong Kong Governor MacLehose was invited to visit the mainland, so he commissioned MacLehose to indirectly test the intentions of the mainland government.

As a successful politician, MacLehose would certainly not be stupid enough to ask directly. Instead, he would use the land lease issue in the New Territories as a breakthrough point, intending to confuse the mainland government on the grounds of business environment.

But the devil is as good as the devil, and the mainland government saw through MacLehose's conspiracy with a keen eye, and responded directly: Xiangjiang is part of China, and this issue itself cannot be discussed!

After the disgraced MacLehose returned, many people wanted to know what the outcome of the negotiations would be.

However, since Governor MacLehose’s visit was a secret one, even though many wealthy people and politicians knew about it, since it was nominally a secret, it was hard for everyone to go there and ask for the details!

After MacLehose returned to Hong Kong, he couldn't wait to prepare for this party. In fact, it had a special purpose to gather the elites in Hong Kong. In fact, it was also to unite everyone to safeguard Britain's "special interests" in Hong Kong.

The so-called charity is just in name!
