The rise of Hong Kong's wealthy families

In late February, Huamei Real Estate Company issued an announcement, claiming that it had made a profit of 920 million in 2081 and would pay a dividend of HK$100 million in March.

The stock price rose that day, which increased the market value of Huamei Real Estate Company by 100 million yuan, bringing the market value to close to the 5.5 billion mark, making it the second largest real estate company in Hong Kong, second only to Land Corporation.

He Jiahao is naturally very happy, but what makes him even more happy is that U.S. technology stocks have begun to rise sharply. It is estimated that by September, he will earn 500 million U.S. dollars, which is about 2.5 billion when converted into Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to half a month. Defeng Company.

If it is announced, He Jiahao believes that the citizens of Xiangjiang will think that he is a stock god, and many people will follow him to attack American technology stocks and make a lot of money. After all, no one dislikes those with more money.

At the same time, the political environment in Hong Kong is not very good. The news of the Iron Lady's upcoming visit to China has been rampant in Hong Kong. People from the pro-British faction continue to advocate how good Hong Kong is under British rule, while the other faction singles out the problems in Hong Kong at this time and The contract period also continuously explains the central government’s policies on Hong Kong, so that the general public does not need to panic.

Many people have begun to prepare for "capitalization", such as John Madden of Wheelock, Zhang Yuliang of Jinxing Real Estate, and Ho Shili of the Ho family. Of course, there are also people who have expressed their determination to stay, such as Swire Group's Swire Group, Global Shipping Lines Bao Yugang of Huanghe Industrial Co., Ltd. and Li Jiacheng of Huanghe Industrial Co., Ltd. are naturally indispensable for the time traveler He Jiahao.

In fact, those who want to take advantage of capital are wealthy people. The middle and lower class have no need to take capital because their wealth cannot guarantee that their family will have a good life in a foreign country, so they need to continue to wait and see.

Concerned about the unrest in his companies, He Jiahao directly asked the company to issue an announcement, telling all employees that the company would be in Hong Kong no matter what, and the boss, He Jiahao, had no intention of taking capital.

This allowed most of the staff to calm down and work.

He Jiahao knew that in Hong Kong under British control, the mainland did not have much power. Even for this kind of public opinion war, they could only fight back through the official media in Hong Kong and newspapers close to the mainland.

He Jiahao has strictly prohibited the editors and publishers of his Tian Tian Daily and other newspapers and magazines from publishing these remarks. He only allows them to publish the mainland's policy on Hong Kong, and cannot publish anything else.

Ho is just a businessman. Even if Hong Kong is to return, he will have to stay under the Hong Kong government for more than ten years. Naturally, he cannot offend too much, so publishing some policies and regulations is already his limit.

Mandarin Oriental Hotel Café

He Jiahao, Guo Desheng, and a man in his 50s sat at the table, and the fragrance of coffee wafted out.

The man wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and had plump cheeks. According to the fortune teller, he was definitely a wealthy man.

In fact, he is Hu Yingxiang, the leader of Hopewell Industrial Company.

Hopewell Industrial Company was founded in 1969, went public in 1972, and moved into the real estate industry. Although it had begun investing in the mainland the year before last, it still has a large number of industries and properties in Hong Kong. It is a large company that cannot be underestimated.

"He Sheng is as young as the rumors say. It's not like me, who only achieved some success in his decades." Hu Yingxiang said politely.

He Jiahao smiled and said modestly, "I can't compare to seniors like Hu Sheng. I'm just lucky."

"He Sheng is so humble. Acquisition of large British-owned enterprises cannot be completed by luck, and HSBC is not an easy consortium to deal with." Hu Yingxiang said with a smile.

After a few casual compliments, he started to get into the topic. Hu Yingxiang said, "Why does He Sheng want to take the shares of Hopewell Industrial Company? The situation today is very complicated. Aren't you afraid of the north?"

Guo Desheng's Sun Hung Kai Properties holds 11% of Hopewell Holdings. Even if it wants to sell to Ho, it needs Hu Yingxiang's consent, so today's meeting took place.

Of course, He Jiahao wants to get more shares of Hopewell Industrial. Although Hopewell Industrial currently invests in highways and other projects in the mainland that require a long return period, the income is definitely not low, and it can use this to make good friends with the mainland. It is said that it kills two birds with one stone.

"I just came from the north a few years ago, and I often go to Shenhai City to inspect investments. I know the situation in the mainland quite well. I am very optimistic about the mainland market. But my focus has always been on Xiangjiang, and I don't have Hu Sheng's courage to invest. A large amount of money has been invested. But I also hope to contribute to the construction of the mainland. No matter what, I am Chinese and I care about it." He Jiahao said with true feelings.

"I have also heard about He Sheng's investment in Shenhai City. He also assists Shenhai City with RMB 30 million per year to build a university. He is more thoughtful than me. Guo Sheng wants to transfer the shares of Hopewell Industrial to you. I have no objection." Hu Yingxiang said seriously. said.

"Thank you Hu Sheng!" He Jiahao nodded and said.

"But it is impossible for He Sheng to hold more shares of Hopewell Industrial. I am the largest shareholder of Hopewell and only hold 41% of the shares. If He Sheng takes the 11% from Guo Sheng, He Sheng will already be the owner of Hopewell Industrial. He is the second largest shareholder of He Industrial Company, there is no need to increase his holdings." Hu Yingxiang glanced at He Jiahao and said with some concern.

He didn't know He Jiahao well. If he held too many shares, it might interfere with Hopewell Industrial's development decisions. He couldn't tolerate this happening.

"Hu Sheng, I am just an investor. I only want returns. Since Hu Sheng has said so, let me take the 11% from Guo Sheng first. If Hu Sheng needs investment after his birthday, just inform me." He Jiahao smiled.

Regarding Hu Yingxiang's defensiveness, He Jiahao expressed his understanding. After all, it was Hu Yingxiang's lifelong effort, so how could he not have any concerns.

"Yes!" Hu Yingxiang nodded, letting go of his defensiveness. He Jiahao's reputation in Xiangjiang is really not good. There are many companies that have made hostile takeovers. His attitude is very good now, and Hu Yingxiang feels that He Jiahao just wants to invest. Not very interested in Hopewell Industries.

"Hopewell Industrial is preparing to negotiate with the Mainland Z government to build a power plant in Humen. Is He Sheng interested?" Hu Yingxiang thought for a while and said, Hong Kong Electric Company is an expert in electricity, and cooperation can save Hopewell Industrial a lot. effort.

"Of course! How does Hu Sheng want to cooperate?" He Jiahao asked with a smile.

"He Sheng has dealt with the mainland and knows the rules. He Sheng will take 20%, I will take 29%, He Sheng will contribute 40%, and I will bear 60% of the technology to build the power plant. How about that?" Hu Yingxiang gave a friendly answer. price.

"Okay! Just do as Hu Sheng said. I will ask Huo Jianning from Hutchison Group and Hopewell Industrial to contact him." He Jiahao said immediately.

"Ah Hao, I will also ask the company's senior management to deal with the share transfer." Seeing that the matter was almost over, Guo Desheng said to He Jiahao.

"Thank you!" He Jiahao said gently.

Guo Desheng acted as a bridge in this matter. If He Jiahao went to Hu Yingxiang himself, it would be even more troublesome, because Hu Yingxiang did not believe He Jiahao. Now that Guo Desheng is the guarantor, Hu Yingxiang only gives face, which saves effort and time.

He Jiahao has no hope that Hopewell Industrial will build the expressway. This project will not start making money until 1990. In the past ten years, the world has changed a lot.

However, He Jiahao coveted projects like the Humen Power Plant, which was one of the reasons for the cooperation with Hopewell Industrial.
