I want to be a giant of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 665 [Building 12]

When the time came to June, Britain won the final victory of the Falklands War, marking a successful end to the two-month local war;

For the United Kingdom, strong patriotic sentiments began to sweep across the country, strengthening the authority of the government headed by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and laying a solid foundation for the British Conservative Party in the general election in 1983.

But for Hong Kong, there is no sense of honor, but because of Britain's victory in the Falklands War, a series of negative effects have been produced;
Don't say that Wu Guangyao knows the general trend of history, even if he doesn't know the future of Hong Kong, he will naturally not tie himself to the British side;

Besides, the people of the colonies, the more they listen, the more harsh they are;
No matter how great Wu Guangyao's international prestige is, he cannot avoid being criticized.

Yangtze Tower,

Wu Guangyao, Wu Xianshuo, the three giants of New Cheung Kong, Ma Shimin, the executive president of Hutchison Whampoa, and a group of core executives are having a meeting.

"Jianning, what is the financial status of Cheung Kong?" Wu Guangyao asked first.

After graduating from the United States with a Ph.D., Huo Jianning served as the deputy manager of the accounting department of Cheung Kong Industrial Co., Ltd., which can be said to be highly regarded by Wu Guangyao;
It should be noted that in 1979, Cheung Kong was the real estate boss in Hong Kong, and its market value was much higher than that of No.2 Hongkong Land Company. The total market value of the top five real estate companies (except Cheung Kong) was not as high as that of Cheung Kong.

Now 30-year-old Huo Jianning is already in charge of the finance of Cheung Kong Industries.

Huo Jianning naturally understood what Wu Guangyao meant. At present, Hong Kong Island is about to have a storm, and some real estate companies with high debts have already begun to tremble.

"According to your instructions, we have been reducing our debt holdings and withdrawing funds since the beginning of 1981; therefore, our current debt ratio is only 12.5%. We have 50 billion working capital and 82 billion Hong Kong dollars in loan funds."

The total market value of Cheung Kong is 260 billion Hong Kong dollars. It is the real estate company with the highest market value in the world. More than 3000 square feet of land reserves, as well as real estate investment in Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other places.

Such a huge asset with such low debt is incredible;

However, as the senior executives of Cheung Kong Corporation know, Cheung Kong Corporation has basically seized every opportunity in the development history of more than 30 years-spit out at high tide and inhale at low tide.

Wu Guangyao asked again: "How is Hutchison Whampoa's financial situation?"

Ma Shimin didn't speak up, because Cheung Kong is the parent company of Hutchison Whampoa, and Huo Jianning also served as a director of Hutchison Whampoa, specializing in financial management.

Huo Jianning said easily: "Hutchison Whampoa's debt ratio is 20%, with liquidity of 32 billion Hong Kong dollars and loans of 50 billion Hong Kong dollars."

The market value of Hutchison Whampoa is 90 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is slightly higher than that of Hongkong Land;
However, Hutchison Whampoa is a comprehensive company. In addition to real estate, it has also made great achievements in the fields of ports, retail, manufacturing, and telecommunications.

Wu Guangyao is very satisfied with the financial situation of the two companies; they can fully demonstrate the demeanor of a large company in the support market next year;
In fact, the so-called supporting the market does not mean buying the bottom;
Of course, this bottom-buying does not mean that you have to buy bottoms at the lowest point, but that you will choose the most suitable time;
That is to say, it has achieved the effect of stabilizing Hong Kong's economy, and it can also benefit itself.

During the meeting, Ma Shimin pointedly said: "Now Hongkong Land has at least 60 real estate projects, large and small. If the market develops as predicted, Hongkong Land may be in great trouble."

Ma Shimin has done very well in the past year since he took office, but he lacks a representative success story;

Therefore, he wanted to help the Wu family acquire a land company in order to gain a qualification.

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "Then wait until he gets into trouble, you can help me keep an eye on it!"

Although the conversation between the two didn't say it clearly, they both revealed one meaning, that is to get involved in Hongkong Land;
Of course, Ma Shimin also knew that if he really wanted to initiate an acquisition of Hongkong Land, it would definitely not be Hutchison Whampoa and Cheung Kong;

For properties in Central, the Wu family has always focused on family ownership.

The reason why Ma Shimin is so caring is because he also shoulders the responsibility of assisting Wu Xianshuo;
In short, he is not only the executive president of Hutchison Whampoa, but also Wu Xianshuo's assistant minister.

Wu Guangyao held meetings with each company and formulated some measures for the upcoming storm.

But some wealthy people dare not gamble, and are making the worst preparations, selling some properties first, and finding a way out;
Once you find that something is wrong, you will immediately emigrate abroad with your family and money.

At this time, there are only two kinds of people who can emigrate abroad: the rich and the skilled.

Then, some middle-class and lower-class people can only stare blankly.

The best ideal place to move overseas is Canada, because there is a little less exclusivity there;
It is very difficult to immigrate to the United States and the United Kingdom, while Australia is more exclusive.

On September 9, Xiangjiang's "Oriental Daily" first broke the news that British Prime Minister Thatcher, the strong woman, will fly to the mainland capital on September 17 to discuss matters related to the future of Hong Kong.

After the major media learned about it, they prepared to send the best teams to the capital to inquire about the news;

Under the coordination of Xiangjiang Xinhua News Agency, a large number of journalists successfully passed the review and flew to the capital, preparing to report on this relationship, which is the future of more than 500 million people in Hong Kong;
Oriental Media Group has sent a very strong team of reporters, and Wu Guangyao is the only Hong Kong person in this negotiation, so he can naturally get first-hand news;

On September 9, a Royal Air Force plane landed slowly at the Capital Airport;

On September 9, the Iron Lady and the British diplomatic team held formal negotiations with relevant departments of the Mainland government in the Great Hall of the People.

The negotiation process was not open to any media, and many reporters could only wait anxiously at the gate of the Great Hall of the People.
