The rise of Hong Kong's wealthy families

This time Huang Ting was so impressed by his visit that he called the next morning and said he agreed to the transaction and would purchase all the shares held by Ho Ka-Hao at the highest price of Sino Land's shares.

Huang Tingfang said that he could sign the contract in the afternoon, but He Jiahao asked him to negotiate the rights and interests of Lijia in Furama Hotel first. At the same time, his actions would not stop, so Huang Tingfang went to Lijia non-stop, and finally won 40 yuan before getting off work. % of the Furama Hotel interests.

After signing the contract with He Jiahao, Huang Tingfang felt relieved, because in his eyes, He Jiahao had become a rich madman, a big shot who did not care about losses for revenge.

Sino Land has suffered a lot of losses, but it is necessary. Spend money to buy peace.

If Ho continues to focus on it, Sino Land will inevitably suffer greater losses and will not achieve great development, because Ho has strong financial resources and can also make profits from it.

Monday, October 19

The Ritchie family's Hysan Industrial Company went public and issued 150 million new shares. In fact, the Ritchie family secretly acquired 50 million new shares, shareholders large and small acquired 50 million shares, and the remaining 50 million shares were on the stock market. Circulation, raised 375 million yuan, priced at 2.5 yuan per share.

Even if He Jiahao takes all the circulating stocks, his shareholding will not exceed 30%, which will not pose a threat to the Lee family. However, He Jiahao plans to 'boil the frog in warm water' and wait until Li Mingze dies before taking action. Now he will get more stocks and do Be prepared.

So on this day, He Jiahao led the senior management of Huamei Real Estate Company to Yun Ping Road, Causeway Bay, to inspect the properties No. 1-36. In fact, he wanted to see if there could be a merger plan for Pennington Street, Fu Ming Street and other streets, and at the same time, it gave the Lee family some pressure.

"No. 18 Hysan Road and No. 1 Kai Ping Road. The six lots are properties owned by the Lee family. It is estimated that they can build a rent-collecting floor area of ​​4-5 million. Our targets are Pennington Street and Leighton Road. The property at the corner of Jingcheng Street is being negotiated with the owner and is expected to cost HK$160 million, and other areas are still under planning," Gao Ci reported.

"Is the acquisition very difficult?" He Jiahao looked at Gao Ci and asked. The acquisition is progressing very slowly and has been carried out for two months.

Gao Ci frowned and said, "It's not easy. Some owners put forward very high prices and took us for granted."

He Jiahao nodded, knowing that the last time he purchased the Enping Road property, he paid a high price. Naturally, the owner this time was unwilling to sell it at a low price, so he comforted him and said, "Today's city and city conditions are changing. We can take our time to merge the buildings. It will cost a lot." It doesn’t matter if it’s three or four years.”

Gao Ci and other senior executives were stunned. Didn't the boss want to deal with Li Jia? Why are you slowing down? If the Lee family were to intervene, wouldn't the merger become even more hopeless?

Causeway Bay is very big, why did Ho Ka-ho want to merge buildings here?

There are two reasons. First, No. 1-36 Yun Ping Road has been acquired, and the authenticity of the merger is the highest, and it is the hinterland of the Lee family; second, the current land price is very high, and the collapse is coming soon. He hopes that Hysan will start a business. It can fall into this pit and consume its funds.

His presence here in person today also creates the illusion that the company is very determined to merge, so that the funds from Hysan Industrial's IPO and issuance of new shares can be used for the merger project.

According to the habits of the Lee family, it is very likely that He Jiahao will be stopped from expanding in his hometown at all costs, because the Lee family does not want to be slapped in the face anymore, and will use this as an important part of saving face.

Soon, someone reported what happened on Enping Road to Li Mingze.

"Tell all family members to have a meeting this afternoon."

"Yes! I will contact other family members immediately." The man quickly left the tea room.

Li Mingze reached out to pick up the teapot, but was burned. After frowning, he began to think deeply. Why did He Jiahao carry out the merger in such a blatant manner? Do you want Lijia to stop it?

In fact, this is a conspiracy. If the Lee family does not take action, He Jiahao will slowly expand; if the Lee family takes action, it will need to spend huge sums of money to acquire. After all, Li Mingze and the others are not aware of the great crash in 1982.

In the large conference room, adult members of the Lee family gathered here. Everyone had read the report and knew today's agenda.

"Everyone should have seen it almost. Let's start talking. Dingchang, you come first." Li Mingze said calmly, as if this matter was not very important.

Some family members looked at Li Dingchang with unkind eyes. They all knew that Li Mingze had been in poor health in recent years, and the family was facing reshuffles in the power structure at any time. Li Dingchang was the most favored by the head of the family, Li Mingze. of respect.

"I think there are three solutions. First: talk to He Jiahao and find a win-win solution. This plan will naturally not work; second: ignore He Jiahao's acquisition and let He Jiahao's punch fail, of course. We will lose our position as a landowner in Causeway Bay, but we can consolidate our existing property sites; third: fighting to the death with Ho Ka-ho, the family has taken over a large property in Causeway Bay with scars, our development plan has been disrupted, and it will take several years to recover. . And I agree with the second one, thinking it is the most beneficial plan for the family."

Li Dingchang's choice is the plan that can best resolve He Jiahao's conspiracy, is most beneficial to the Li family, and can achieve the greatest weakening of He Jiahao.

"I don't agree! Our Lee family has been entrenched in Causeway Bay for decades. Our family has been the landlord in Causeway Bay since our grandfather's generation. How can we allow a bastard like He Jiahao to provoke us? And we have to give in. How can our family have any face if word spreads?" The young man who was very similar to Li Dingchang said unceremoniously. His anger made people feel that this person was a fool.

The big family cares about face the most. Even Li Mingze had to consider this issue, otherwise he would not have broken the agreement in the first place.

Secondly, there is the opinion of family members. Although Li Mingze holds the greatest power in the family, he cannot implement the plan against the opinions of the majority of members. Once or twice is okay, but more times will definitely cause instability in power, and this will The matter did not reach the level where Li Mingze stood up to the public opinion.

"I heard that Ho Ka-ho is planning to merge a building in Tsim Sha Tsui. We can start from this aspect and force Ho Ka-ho to submit." One member said proudly.

"Yes, I think what Lao Wu said is right. He Jiahao wants to do our Causeway Bay, so we can do his Tsim Sha Tsui. Anyway, as long as we don't suffer a loss, that's fine."

The entire meeting was full of chatter. Li Mingze watched everyone's speeches quietly, and seemed to want to examine his successor.

The final and preliminary plan was to prevent Ho Ka-ho from merging buildings in Causeway Bay and to fight back in the Tsim Sha Tsui area.

Such a dispersion of funds was naturally not Li Mingze's intention, but he did not stop it. He just decided based on the voting results.

The Lee family meeting had just ended, and He Jiahao also received the result notification of the meeting.

Yes, a member of the Lee family reached an agreement with Ho Jiahao.

He Jiahao sneered and hung up the phone, "The plan is a good plan, but do you have so much funds? And my ultimate goal is to consume your funds. The entire Causeway Bay is so big, you Li family can't afford it."

So, he called Gao Ci and asked him to slightly increase the price of the property in Tsim Sha Tsui, and then give it to Hysan Industrial.

Seeing Gao Ci who didn't understand, He Jiahao could only explain it once so that he could complete his work better.
