The Industrial Giant Reborn

Hong Kong, Prince's Building, the headquarters of World Shipping Group:

Bao Yugang drove back here by himself. Before that, his wealth and personal goals were all in the ocean. Therefore, even if he became the richest Chinese in Asia, he never thought about buying property in Hong Kong. The only thing he did was to buy a few for his family. A villa residence, the headquarters of his company, has always been a leased building under Hongkong Land.

Now, he was about to abandon the boat and go ashore. Taking advantage of Jardine's financial difficulties, he bought the Prince's Building. Not only did he have his own property in Central, but also connected to his company's rent, and he no longer needed to pay.

Although a large amount of my assets are still overseas, the starting point of landing is still good.

After returning to the office, a well-mannered young man walked in, saw Bao Yugang and said, "Dad, how are you?"

"It's okay, it's smoother than I imagined. Chen Zhiwen doesn't care that we become shareholders of Wharf, and he is willing to let us become one of the directors of Wharf." Bao Yugang saw that the person who came was his second son-in-law, Wu Guangzheng, and told him He walked over to the sofa next to him and sat down.

"That's great. We have acquired two buildings this time, and we can become shareholders of Wharf. We have finally taken the first step." Wu Guangzheng said happily. Since Bao Yugang decided to abandon the boat and land, Wu Guangzheng has been trying to seize every opportunity. This transaction with Jardine was led by him. The only question is whether he will offend Chen Zhiwen after becoming the major shareholder of Wharf .

Although this is a normal transaction, if it really causes misunderstanding between the two parties, it is always bad. Now that I get an accurate reply, I will naturally feel relieved.

"I plan to send you to Wharf as a director. My request is not to participate in the decision-making. It is enough to give some appropriate opinions. The main thing is to learn and see how such large real estate companies operate, especially those under Chen Zhiwen. There are also many talents in this field." Bao Yugang said.

"Judging from Chen Zhiwen's current business landscape, Wharf may be just an ordinary business under his umbrella. If he can follow Chen Zhiwen for a period of time, he will really benefit a lot." Wu Guangzheng said with some regret.

Although Chen Zhiwen is still three years younger than him, his achievements are so high. Not to mention Hong Kong, there is almost no second place in the world. Global shipping business is all over the world, and he often travels around the world, especially in European and American countries. Yes, it is natural to know that Chen Zhiwen's Red Bull and Midea already have a strong market influence overseas. At the same time, he has also been to Costco in Los Angeles or New York.

"The strongest thing about Chen Zhiwen is not his management ability, but his keen judgment on the market. Why does a person like him need to know how to manage a company?" Bao Yugang smiled and said, "Follow him and learn how to manage a company." Nothing practical, foresight is an inborn destiny, and I can’t learn it, if I had this foresight, I would have exchanged Kangle Building with Jardine.”

"That's true." Wu Guangzheng nodded and said. A few years ago, Jardine wanted to exchange a 200,000-ton oil tanker with Global Shipping with the newly built Kangle Building, the first building in Hong Kong.

Now, the value of the Kangle Building exceeds 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the cruise ship that was to be replaced back then may not even have a tenth of that. This incident became Bao Yugang's biggest regret.

Bao Yugang didn't think too much, and said: "Chen Zhiwen also told me another thing. He wanted to join hands with me to plot against Hong Kong Electric and China Power."

"What?" Wu Guangzheng was taken aback.

Subsequently, Bao Yugang informed Wu Guangzheng of the general discussion with Chen Zhiwen.

After listening, Wu Guangzheng thought for a while and said: "It sounds okay, but I think that the reason why Chen Zhiwen chose Hongkong Electric is probably because he wants to fancy several large commercial lands owned by Hongkong Electric. I even doubt him. Investing in power generation is all about the way.”

"Whether it's incidental or the main reason, it has nothing to do with us. I don't think there is any problem with this proposal. What do you think?" Bao Yugang asked.

He has no son, and the future of the entire Bao family will be given to four daughters. Among all the sons-in-law, Wu Guangzheng has the strongest ability. Therefore, he has always been the object of his training. As long as he is given enough opportunities, he will naturally grow up. To take over his own business empire.

"No problem. What Chen Zhiwen said in the end is right. No matter what, even if he is the major shareholder of the power plant, the investment will not be a loss. From the perspective of stability, electricity is indeed much more stable than real estate. It is necessary to deal with Shang Jia The Li family will be very troublesome, and Chen Zhiwen probably handed over this problem to us on purpose," Wu Guangzheng said.

"Whether it can be acquired or not depends on whether there is such an opportunity. Then you should prepare. We will slowly absorb the shares of CLP Power in the stock market. This plan is very big. It may not be possible within a year or two. It just so happens that I also have enough time to slowly dispose of some of the ships in my hand." Bao Yugang nodded and said.

"Okay, this matter can only be done by ourselves, and we must not let anyone know, especially HSBC, then we can only go to the Chinese-funded bank." Wu Guangzheng said.

"Yes, it's hard to say what Shen Bi's opinion is on this kind of matter. If he doesn't support it, there will be another contradiction. It's better not to let him know." Bao Yugang thought for a while and said: "A few years ago, Chen Zhiwen planned from When Wharf started, it kept it from HSBC, but bought it separately through more than a dozen Chinese-funded banks, and the amount divided by each bank is not big, so we can do the same."

"Okay, then I'll make arrangements." After Wu Guangzheng agreed, he stood up and bid farewell to leave.

"China Power." Bao Yugang walked to the door of Xiangyang's floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at all the buildings on the land opposite Victoria. All the electricity here comes from China Power. If it is really possible to buy it, then the Bao family will really Abandoning the boat and landing has been realized.

Galaxy Group headquarters.

Xu Jinhong came to Chen Zhiwen's office with a series of materials, and said: "Chen Sheng, this is all the information we have collected so far from Hong Kong Electric. Hong Kong Electric's total power generation last year was 6.3 billion kwh, slightly It is higher than CLP Power, accounting for 52.1% of the total in Hong Kong. The net profit of the power generation market is 95 million Hong Kong dollars. However, due to the heavy investment in the construction of the Lamma Island power station in recent years, the overall company has been at a loss.

It’s just that the market is more optimistic about Hong Kong Electric, because once the Lamma Island Power Station is built, several power plants on Hong Kong Island will leave huge commercial land after relocation. Judging from the current land price, the price of these land is More than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, so the stock price has not been greatly affected by losses, and has remained in a stable position for a long time. "

"Okay, let's make an appropriate acquisition, step by step, this matter requires long-term planning." Chen Zhiwen looked through the information roughly, nodded and said.

Although more important things in the future include the opportunity of "golden futures" next year and Midea's layout of yacht game consoles and handhelds, these two important things will not affect other businesses, especially in Hong Kong. After the acquisition of Wharf Well, as the boss behind it, Chen Zhiwen naturally doesn't need to personally manage how to develop real estate, but as a strategic director, he needs to provide the team in Hong Kong with a choice of goals.

The investment in the real estate field should be invested in the development and development, but the fastest way is always to acquire a company with a large number of British properties, especially this group of companies that hold a large amount of high-quality land but do not know how to develop.

Among the top ten listed companies in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Electric is well-known because of the relationship of the later Li Jiacheng. It is the only company that does not have a major shareholder, but is completely controlled by the management, just like Hutchison before.

The only difference is that Hutchison encountered a serious debt crisis, which allowed Chen Zhiwen to succeed. However, the current HK Electric has a good business and a lot of high-quality land under its umbrella. The market value is very high, exceeding 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. Once the acquisition target Exposure, with the current speculative funds in the Hong Kong market, I am afraid that the acquisition will become very difficult.

Therefore, no matter what will be done in the future, it is necessary to operate slowly now, just like Wharf in the past, exchanging time for benefits. Anyway, he is not in a hurry to win HK Electric in a short time. And when the income from gold futures returns to Hong Kong, it will be easy to acquire HK Electric.

"Bao Yugang's son-in-law Wu Guangzheng has already contacted me, and they will gradually buy shares in CLP Power." Xu Jinhong said.

"Okay, it's still early days, everyone should do their own thing." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

In the case of choosing one of the two, Chen Zhiwen chose to control Hongkong Electric, and then enjoy part of the income of Central Power through equity holdings. This is a more suitable plan he thought of.

There are many reasons why Bao Yugang was invited to deal with CLP Power. The first is that it is very difficult to acquire both HK Electric and CLP Power. , Slowly invest a large amount of funds, ranging from one year to two or three years, during this period of time, the funds will be trapped in it.

How can ordinary real estate companies operate like this, there are plenty of opportunities outside to do other businesses or real estate projects, but only in the case of Bao Yugang, a large amount of idle funds will be generated while abandoning the boat, and there will be a process that can be used to slow down It is perfect to absorb stocks slowly.

The second is that Bao Yugang, as one of the most successful businessmen in the Chinese world, if he can't find a landing target for a long time, will he also choose to acquire Hongkong Electric?

This is entirely possible. With no major shareholders, a stable electricity market, and a large amount of land holdings, HK Electric may be the most suitable choice when there is no Wharf to choose from.

It's just a secret to make plans for Hong Kong Electric himself. Once Bao Yugang really gets it, he will be embarrassed. Although he will not lose money, the acquisition of Hong Kong Electric is not just for Hong Kong's electricity market.

Investing in the power generation field is a suitable direction after the capital is abundant, especially after the domestic reform, the country has long-term power shortages, and foreign capital is also very welcome to enter the power generation market.

Although the profit of building power plants in the mainland is not as good as that of real estate, the profit of real estate in the mainland may have to wait until after the 21st century, which will take at least 20 years, unless there are some golden locations in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen or other business strategies Demand, otherwise, the brains will invest in mainland real estate on a large scale in the 1980s and 1990s? Moreover, in the past 20 years, there is no special demand, and the mainland government will not grant land casually, and large-scale investment may not be feasible.

In comparison, the infrastructure in the 1980s was the most cost-effective. The transportation between a large number of core cities, the bridges of the Yangtze River, the Pearl River and other major arteries, as well as various power plants, ports, etc., these investments do not seem to be very profitable. But in fact, investors themselves do not need to invest a lot of money, they are mainly bank loans.

The infrastructure madman Hu Yingxiang built large-scale infrastructure in the 1980s and 1990s, and made considerable profits. The reason why he lost the throne of Hong Kong's top rich man is that he was too desperate and missed the real estate market in Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s.

After all, compared with Hong Kong's real estate market, the return on infrastructure construction is not enough. However, for Chen Zhiwen, after the explosion of technology companies in the 1980s, his capital will increase exponentially. Maybe they are still trying their best to hype the Hong Kong real estate market, so investing in infrastructure in the Mainland is a good choice.

It can not only help the country develop, but also help a large number of mainlanders to find employment, and also allow themselves to obtain sufficient income. Not to mention other things, as long as they invest in the first batch of high-speed and corresponding high-quality ports between Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, this is long-term stability. cash flow.

The same is true in the field of power generation. Building a power plant in a big city will earn you no worse than a highway. Moreover, you may be a little greedy. After 20 or 30 years, the life of the power plant will expire, and the urban expansion will almost reach the vicinity of the power plant. In the future, it will also be a sky-high wealth.

Therefore, winning a power generation company in Hong Kong is a bridge to enter the country in the future. It is not an intentional competition, but Chen Zhiwen is preparing to become an even crazier infrastructure maniac than Hu Yingxiang.

And letting Bao Yugang pick the Kadoorie family was not intentional to trick him. Although the Kadoorie family is strong, it may not be stronger than Bao Yugang. With his help, they can definitely take down China Power. Now, with the strong capital of the ship king, he has a choice of direction, and maybe he will follow him in the future to invest in large-scale power stations in the mainland.

The Chinese duo jointly took down the two major power giants in Hong Kong, and then built power stations everywhere in the country together. In the future business history books, it may become a classic story.

"I'm already arranging funds and preparing to start buying Hong Kong Electric's shares." Xu Jinhong said.

Chen Zhiwen asked: "Is there enough funds to acquire the shares of Landmark and HK Electric at the same time?"

"The funds are sufficient. Although the two companies were acquired at the same time, the demand for funds is not high, and it is not a problem to buy a few more companies." Xu Jinhong said with a smile.

"Okay, let's keep it like this. In the next few months, some projects of Galaxy Real Estate should be available for pre-sale. Except for a small amount of funds left to maintain the company's operations, I will take other funds overseas to make an investment. Not only you It's the same with Huang's side." Chen Zhiwen continued.

From the beginning of next year to the beginning of the next year, the price of gold will rise three times. As long as you seize this opportunity, if you do more futures, you will definitely make a fortune. After success, all aspects of investment will never be short With the funds, Chen Zhiwen can also take advantage of this opportunity to jump out of the Hong Kong market and prepare to compete with the international giants.
