Rise up Hong Kong! Build a super wealthy Zhuang family

Chapter 113 Targeting the China Gas Company

It's around 14:00 in the afternoon.

Hong Kong Garden, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island.

This property is Hutchison Whampoa’s only project for sale in Causeway Bay this year.

A few days ago, Zhuang Rongxu arranged for someone to set aside a large four-bedroom apartment for An Ran's mother, one brother and her sister to live in.

Her father was gone. Zhuang Rongxu was worried that An Ran would not trust his family, so he took them out directly to live on Hong Kong Island. It was better than staying in Saigon and they could live in a different environment.

"Auntie, let's go and see if the new house is suitable. You will live here in the future. I have asked someone to write An Ran's name on the house name. In other words, this house is safe and you can live in peace of mind." Zhuang Rongxu was worried. An Ran's mother felt uneasy, so she went around to make him feel at ease.

"Brother Xu, how can I ask for your house? It's too expensive. It's already great if you can live with us." An Ran was also surprised after hearing Zhuang Rongxu's words and quickly refused.

An Ran has lived here for a long time, so of course she knows the price of this property, so she was shocked when she heard that Zhuang Rongxu gave it to her.

"Yes, Xu Zai, how can we accept such an expensive thing? It's already very good for you to live with us. You can never give it to us. It's okay if your aunt knows what you mean." An Ran's mother also spoke, although she I have lived in Saigon for a long time, but I also know the housing prices outside.

She also knows how expensive a house like this is.

"Auntie, since An Ran and I are together, these things are indistinguishable, so there is no need to talk about them. Just live in peace." After Zhuang Rongxu finished speaking, he took the initiative to help them get into the elevator with their things.

After leaving An Ran and her mother to look at each other, they both showed happy smiles.

Soon came to the house.

The decoration and furniture are all ready. Their family only needs to bring their personal belongings to move in. Even daily necessities have been bought.

"Wow, Mommy, sister, this place is so beautiful. I like it very much."

"Yeah, I like it here too."

As soon as An Ran's two younger siblings entered the house, they were attracted by the decoration style inside. And An Ran and her mother were also shocked by the decoration of the house. Although it was not magnificent, it was definitely a luxurious decoration.

When had their family ever lived in such a beautiful house?

"An Ruo, An Yi, as long as you like it, you can live here in the future, especially An Yi, you are a big boy, you have to remember to protect your mother and sisters, you know?"

"Yes, brother-in-law, I understand."

"Haha, you little brat."

"Brother Xu, this house..."

"Okay An Ran, I won't say anything else. You guys can sort it out. I have to go back to the company. I haven't been back for a few days and I have a lot of things to do."

"Okay, I'll go back with you too. Being away for so many days will definitely make the general manager busy." An Ran also thought about going back to work.

"There's no rush. Let's take a day off and spend time with my aunt and them. By the way, let them get familiar with the environment. I'll drive you over tomorrow to participate in the foundation laying of the building."

"The foundation stone of the building was laid?"

"Well, the Central site will be officially launched tomorrow morning. We need to go there and lay the foundation stone in the morning."

"Well, if that's the case, then you can go back and do your work first. Just leave this to me."

Zhuang Rongxu nodded slowly: "Auntie, I will go back first."

"Well, go ahead and be safe."

"OK, bye."

After leaving the community, Zhuang Rongxu did not go back to the company immediately, but rushed to the exchange.

In fact, Zhang Fuhua contacted Zhuang Rongxu yesterday and told him that the stock price (Jianing Group) had risen to his predetermined price.

Starting yesterday, Zhuang Rongxu ordered Zhang Fuhua to gradually sell out the shares of Jianning Group he owned to cash out.

Although if he continues to buy, Carining's stock price will continue to rise, but the subsequent rising cycle is too long, and it will take more than a year before it collapses. He does not have this time to wait for profits.

He might as well cash out the money and invest in other projects.

After all, the Jianing Group can make some money in this muddy water, but it must not continue forever. Otherwise, even if you make money in the future, others will say that you are an unscrupulous profiteer who is harvesting the hard-earned money of citizens.

So it is best and most appropriate to quit now. After all, Jianing still has a year before it collapses, and nothing will affect him by then.

Soon Zhuang Rongxu came to the exchange.

"Everyone, long time no see."

"Sheng Zhuang, you are here."

"Hello, Mr. Zhuang."

"Well, how's it going?"

"It is currently being sold off. The share price of Jiani Group has now risen to 17.86 Hong Kong dollars per share, and judging from the trend, it seems that it will continue to rise."

"Indeed, but don't wait any longer, just let it go." Zhuang Rongxu responded. Of course, he knew that the stock price of Jia Ning Group would continue to rise.

Otherwise, why would it be called Jianing Myth?

It’s just that it will kill too many people in the future.

"Okay Zhuangsheng, I will continue to sell. In order not to affect the stock price fluctuations, we choose to sell slowly. The task is expected to be completed on Friday three days later."

"Very good, just watch the operation." Anyway, the stock price of Jianing Group will not fall within three days, so Zhuang Rongxu is not in a hurry for these three days.

After all, he holds more than 15 million shares of Jianing stock, accounting for about 8% of the equity, so he needs to sell it in advance.

Zhuang Rongxu originally bought these stocks at an average price of HK$4 per share, but now he sells them at HK$17.86 per share, making a net profit of HK$13.86 per share, which is equivalent to more than three times the profit, which is a huge profit.

He holds 15.826 million shares of Jianing Group. He originally bought them back at an average price of 4 Hong Kong dollars per share, which is equivalent to an investment cost of about 63.3 million Hong Kong dollars, which has now more than tripled.

This time Zhuang Rongxu roughly calculated and made about 200 million.

In one month, I made 200 million yuan from short-term investment, which is already considered very impressive.

Not to mention the present, even in the future, being able to double your investment several times and earn 200 million in one month’s short-term investment is considered very impressive.

"By the way, Broker Zhang, I asked you to secretly acquire the shares of China Gas Company. How many shares do you have now?" Zhuang Rongxu asked, this was what he cared about most.

Towngas is the only gas company in Xiangjiang. It is a truly independent business and a high-quality industry that is more valuable than Xiangjiang Electric Lighting.

Moreover, China Gas is also a people's livelihood industry. Whoever controls this company will be equivalent to adding a talisman to themselves in the future.

Therefore, Zhuang Rongxu must win these industries. He has been thinking of ways to solve this problem. Now that he has thought of it and still has funds to negotiate acquisitions, he is ready to take action.

In the 1970s, Ho Ting-hsi and Lee Ming-ze worked together to compete with Jardine Matheson for control of China Gas, and they have maintained this position to this day, with no clear distinction yet.

The market value of Towngas, which just entered the 1980s, was not very high. The current market price is HK$10.63 per share, and the number of issued shares is 100 million. The total market value is about more than HK$1 billion.

Of course, this is only the market value, and does not include the value of Towngas itself. If someone wants to package and acquire it, they will definitely not be able to get it for 1 billion. They must pay at least a premium of 50% or more, that is, more than 1.5 billion.

Even if it is HK$1.5 billion, Zhuang Rongxu believes that Jardine and Xiangjiang Electric, including He Tingxi and Li Mingze, will not agree to be acquired.

Zhuang Rongxu also knows that China Gas has always been concerned about by all groups, but at this time no one will touch China Gas. After all, the equity interests in Towngas at this time were very complicated. Not only did Jardine Matheson \u0026 Co. have equity interests, but Heung Kong Electric Company also had equity interests.

In addition, the well-established wealthy family Lijia Li Mingze and another rich man He Tingxi also have equity interests.

The four of them control an equal amount of shares in Towngas. Together, they account for at least 70% of the shares in Towngas. Therefore, there is at most only 30% of the shares in the market. Therefore, it is difficult for outsiders to control Towngas through the market. Who would do it? Go do it.

But now only Zhuang Rongxu knows that soon, He Tingxi and Li Mingze will find Li Zhaoji and Uncle Li to join forces to deal with Yihe and the others.

Later, in 1983, China Gas became owned by Chinese investors, and Uncle Li took advantage of it. After they defeated Jardine and Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company, because He Tingxi and Li Mingze were older, they were not suitable to serve as chairman of the company, so Uncle Li had to take over.

In the future, Uncle Li will also rely on this gas company and the real estate industry to become a super rich man in Hong Kong.

With such a beneficial industry, Zhuang Rongxu could only say sorry to Uncle Li in private. He would not let China Gas and Xiangjiang Electric go.

Even Zhuang Rongxu, another electric lighting company and telephone company controlled by the Kadoorie family, will also seize them. In the future, he will become the largest owner of the people's livelihood industry in Hong Kong, and he must also control the most important living facilities for Hong Kong citizens.

Electricity, gas, water conservancy, Internet.

If these four major livelihood industries are in the hands of Zhuang Rongxu, he can sit back and relax in Xiangjiang. As for the real estate industry, of course he will also develop it, but he will not focus on building residential buildings.

He will build more commercial projects and collect rents all year round. In this way, while developing, the land can be recycled and rebuilt at any time.

Unlike residential buildings, they don’t want to limit the number of years they will die.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhuang. We have been secretly acquiring Towngas stocks according to your instructions. However, since the trading volume of this stock has not been large, we can only purchase it very carefully, otherwise it will be easily discovered, so it is very slow. , currently there are only 1.36 million shares, accounting for 1.36% of the equity."

Zhuang Rongxu nodded when he heard this. He also knew this situation, but he was not in a hurry. After all, it was still a long time before China Gas changed owners in history.

When he secretly acquires 10% of the shares of China Gas, Zhuang Rongxu will take the initiative to talk to He and Li. I believe they don't want China Gas to be controlled by a foreign company, so he still has a chance.

"Okay, continue the acquisition, and pay attention to Xiangjiang Electric Lighting and the China Electric Power of the Kadoorie family." Zhuang Rongxu ordered.

CLP Power Company controls the power supply in the Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories, and has a near-monopoly on the market.

Hong Kong Electric supplies the Hong Kong Island area.

The two companies share the power supply of Xiangjiang equally.

CLP Power not only supplies electricity, but also owns a telephone company, namely the Internet Communications Company, which also accounts for at least 50% of the telephone network cables in the Kowloon Peninsula.

The other half is occupied by Jardine Matheson Group.

In addition, the telephone line supply on Hong Kong Island is supplied by Zhuang Rongxu's Hutchison Whampoa. This is the only company, which is the Xiangjiang Telecommunications Company that will be controlled by Li Chaoru's son in the future, and is now owned by Zhuang Rongxu.

Unfortunately, Zhuang Rongxu cannot intervene in the telephone lines of the Kowloon Peninsula at present, so he can only call the Kadoorie family's China Power. As long as he acquires it, he can open the telephone line layout of the Kowloon Peninsula.

In the future, whether he has a pager or a mobile phone, he must need network support, so he also needs to control the supply of the entire Xiangjiang network as soon as possible.

"Don't worry Zhuang Sheng, I will do it."

"Okay, I'll go back to the company first. If you have any questions, please contact me."

"Okay Zhuang Sheng, goodbye."

"goodbye."

After leaving the exchange, Zhuang Rongxu immediately rushed back to the company. The company does have a lot to do recently.

Things like cooperation with other districts, increasing efforts to produce Walkman products, the launch of building projects, and the industrial park in the inland area is also about to start soon, etc. There are too many things.

As a boss, even if he really wants to be the boss, he can't really ignore everything when the company needs it most. What does that mean?

If the company is on track and develops stably, Zhuang Rongxu can safely leave it to Queyi and the others to manage it.

But now multiple regions and multiple projects are piled up at the same time, and new products are about to be put on the market. No matter how capable Que Yi and the others are, they are unable to do anything at all. He must go back to help.
