Hong Kong Island chaebol prince: Starting from marrying Zhong Chuhong

Cao Kun naturally understands that it is easy to move mountains, and the weight of the phrase moving land.

Even in 1984, Jardine Matheson and its subsidiary, Hongkong Land, two giants that had once dominated the business community on Hong Kong Island, were in unprecedented trouble due to high debts, and Chinese businessmen still did not succeed in acquiring Hongkong Land.

At that time, the stock of Jardine Matheson fell sharply, and its total assets shrank to only 15 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it had long lost its former glory.

This news is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime acquisition opportunity for many Chinese businessmen who are eyeing it.

Before the stock market crash, Hongkong Land's stock had become a favorite in the eyes of many real estate developers.

In addition to Li Bancheng and Bao Yugang, Chinese businessmen such as jewelry king Zheng Yutong and Hongji's Guo brothers also coveted land.

Even the Liu Luanxiong brothers, who were upstarts in the stock market at the time, took a keen interest in Hongkong Land and wanted to buy a 30% stake in Hongkong Land at a price of 15 yuan per share.

However, this proposal was politely rejected by Hongkong Land.

Despite repeated rejections, the enthusiasm of Chinese businessmen for Hongkong Land has not ~ waned.

They have been negotiating with Hongkong Land in the hope of reaching a takeover-agreement.

However, Simon Kaisark, the head of Hongkong Land, took advance as a retreat, negotiating with interested Chinese businessmen, and deliberately raising prices at the same time, which whetted the appetite of Chinese businessmen.

In this acquisition battle, Li Bancheng's negotiations with Hongkong Land are particularly eye-catching.

As a leader in the business community on Hong Kong Island, Lee Bancheng had fought with Kaiser when he bought HK Electric, and both sides were well aware of each other's strength and status.

At that time, Li Bancheng offered to acquire a 35% stake in Hongkong Land at a price of 18 yuan per share, which was a full 8 yuan higher than Hongkong Land's share price.

However, even in the face of such tempting conditions, Kaisax remained unmoved.

He put on a sincere attitude and said that he would not refuse any entrepreneur who made a genuine acquisition, but he had to offer a price that satisfied him.

However, in fact, he did not want to sell the land to the Chinese at all.

......

Cao Kun looked at Bao Yugang, his eyes flashed with determination: "Boat King, thank you for the reminder."

But I've decided, I'm going to give it a try anyway.

I believe that as long as I work hard, I will definitely reap the rewards!"

Bao Yugang looked at Cao Kun, knowing that his determination had been made, patted Cao Kun's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I wish you success."

If you need my help, just ask!"

Subsequently, Cao Kun and Bao Yugang reached an agreement on how to work closely together and let the two of them carve up Wharf and Hongkong Land Group.

......

As early as a few months ago, Cao Kun began to quietly buy shares in Wharf.

He did not make a statement, but collected little by little from retail investors through various channels.

When the stake in his hands reached a certain level, he did not stop, but continued to let people buy in the market.

Someone asked him puzzledly: "Mr. Cao, you already own so many shares of Wharf, why do you continue to acquire them?"

Cao Kun smiled slightly, and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "I want not only Wharf, but Hongkong Group!"

It turned out that Cao Kun had long seen that the real value behind Wharf was Hongkong Land.

As long as you control Wharf, you can indirectly control Hongkong Group.

And that's exactly why he's been laying out in secret.

In mid-June 1980, a battle of Wharf finally broke out that shocked Hong Kong Island.

While Bao Yugang was attending a meeting in Europe, the chairman of the board of directors of Hongkong Land, Niu Bijian, suddenly made a difficult attempt to increase the shareholding of Hong Kong Island Land to 49% through a share swap.

When the news broke, the entire stock market was shaken.

After hearing the news, Bao Yugang hurriedly returned to Hong Kong to deploy an anti-takeover.

He first obtained a HK$2.2 billion loan guarantee from HSBC, and then held an emergency meeting to decide to absorb Wharf shares in the hands of retail investors with $105 in cash.

His goal was clear: to defeat Nurbikin and regain control of Wharf.

Cao Kun closely watched the progress of this big war.

When Pao Yugang seized control of Wharf with lightning speed, he knew his chance had come.

He immediately contacted Bao Yugang and proposed a bold plan: to treat others the way they would go.

When Bao Yugang heard Cao Kun's plan, he couldn't help but frown: "You mean, let me sell you the shares of Wharf in my hand, and then you will use these shares to exchange for the shares of Hongkong Group?"

Cao Kun nodded and said confidently: "That's right! In this way, you can not only get the cash return of Wharf, but also allow me to realize the control of Hongkong Group."

We're win-win!"

After Bao Yugang pondered for a moment, a gleam flashed in his eyes: "Okay!

As a result, a well-planned business war quietly unfolded.

One morning, when the morning fog on Hong Kong Island had not completely lifted, Cao Kun was already sitting in his office, facing a table full of documents and share transfer documents.

The shares of Wharf in his hands, together with the shares transferred from Bao Yugang, were enough for him to cause a storm within the Hongkong Land Group.

The phone rang suddenly, and it was Bao Yugang calling.

"Cao Kun, the share transfer has been completed, and you are now the major shareholder of Hongkong Land Group!"

There was a hint of relief in Bao Yugang's voice.

Cao Kun smiled slightly: "Mr. Bao, thank you for your support."

This cooperation is very pleasant, and we may have more opportunities in the future!"

After hanging up the phone, Cao Kun took a deep breath, he knew that what he would face next would be a tough battle.

He had previously acquired a large number of Hongkong Land shares in a low-key manner, and now with these newly acquired shares, he has reached the level of controlling stake in Hongkong Land.

Cao Kun stood up and walked to the window, overlooking the busy Hong Kong Island.

It's time to declare your victory.

As a result, a press conference was held that shook the entire Hong Kong Island.

When Cao Kun announced that he had achieved a controlling stake in Hongkong Land, there was an uproar.

Reporters raised their hands to ask questions, and flashing lights kept flashing.

"Mr. Cao, how did you achieve a controlling stake in Hongkong Land in such a short period of time?"

A reporter asked curiously.

Cao Kun smiled slightly: "Behind this is inseparable from the efforts and careful planning of my team.

We've been working in the shadows, looking for opportunities.

Now, the opportunity has finally arrived, and we have succeeded in seizing it!"

The British businessmen at the scene were all stunned.

They looked at each other, unable to believe that this Cao Kun, who had been operating under their noses, could quietly take away their treasure land.

One of the Yinglan businessmen stood up even more angrily: "Cao Kun! Are you playing tricks on us? You have quietly acquired so many shares!"

Cao Kun looked at the angry Yinglan businessman and said without changing his face: "The shopping mall is like a battlefield, you should understand this truth."

I'm not playing anyone's errands, it's just that you don't notice what I'm doing.

Now that Hongkong Land is under my control, I hope to continue to work with you in the future to grow Hongkong Land together!"

And at the moment, in other corners of Hong Kong Island, news about Cao Kun and Hongkong Land is spreading rapidly.

Some envy his success and wealth, while others begin to plot how to work with or against him.

But in any case, Cao Kun has become a new legend in Hong Kong Island's business community.

Hongkong Land, a real estate giant with large-scale commercial complexes such as Hong Kong Island Landmark and One Oak Gate Plaza, also owns a number of well-known buildings such as York House, Prince Building, and Duke Building, which form the most beautiful skyline of Hong Kong Island Central, and is known as the "Twelve Peaks of Hong Kong Island Central".

These high-quality properties can generate tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in revenue for Hongkong Land every year, and they are a real golden chicken that lays golden eggs.

In addition, Hongkong Land owns high-end office properties in Singapore through joint ventures and four retail centres in mainland China, including an upscale retail centre in Wangfujing, Beijing.

In Central Jakarta, Hongkong Land also holds a half-owned interest in a leading office portfolio.

The addition of these properties further strengthens Hongkong Land's strength and influence.

Now, through his wisdom and courage, Cao Kun has successfully incorporated this golden rooster that countless people dream of into his business map.

Cao Kun stood in front of the window, overlooking the bustling scene of Central on Hong Kong Island.

With the golden rooster of Hongkong Land Group, his business empire will be even more brilliant.

......

Zhao Yuzhi is in the same villa as her, and they have nannies and female bodyguards around them, closely protecting their personal safety and the safety of their children.

......

Time flies by like a white horse, fleeting.

For Cao Kun, this period of time is very significant.

He ushered in a good news, which was good news about him and Zhong Chuhong.

"Cao Kun, I have good news for you!"

Zhong Chuhong walked into Cao Kun's office with joy on her face, holding a pregnancy test stick in her hand.

Cao Kun put down the document in his hand, looked at Zhong Chuhong's expression, and had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart.

"Is it pregnant?"

He asked tentatively.

Zhong Chuhong nodded, his face filled with the brilliance of motherhood.

"After I drank the spring water, I felt that my vitality was vigorous.

Now, we finally have a baby of our own!"

Cao Kun stood up, walked to Zhong Chuhong's side, and held her hand tightly.

"Great! It's wonderful! I've always wanted to have a baby, and now I've finally got it!"

Zhong Chuhong snuggled in Cao Kun's arms, feeling his warmth and joy.

"I've always wanted to have a baby.

Now, we can finally form a whole family!"

In order to confirm the good news, Cao Kun decided to take Zhong Chuhong to a high-end private hospital for an examination.

With the doctor's confirmation, they learned that Zhong Chuhong was indeed pregnant, and they were twins!

Cao Kun was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and he hugged Zhong Chuhong tightly.

"Great! This is great news! Zhong Chuhong, you are really my lucky star!"

Zhong Chuhong was also so excited that she burst into tears.

"Cao Kun, I'm so happy.

To be with you and to have our own children, I feel like the happiest woman in the world!"

Cao Kun announced that if Zhong Chuhong can successfully give birth to a child, he will reward her with 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

This news moved Zhong Chuhong even more.

"Cao Kun, you are too good to me.

I will take good care of my body so that our children can come into this world in good health!"

And Cao Kun was also rewarded by the system because Zhong Chuhong was pregnant with this child.

"Ding Dong! Congratulations to the master's lover Zhong Chuhong for being pregnant with the master's child, and the master's family will add two new members to reward the master's special attribute - fighting left and right.

The essence is to be single-minded and dual-purpose, to be able to do different things with both hands at the same time, and the combat effectiveness bonus for the master itself can be called step-by-step!"

Hearing this voice, Cao Kun immediately reacted and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He knew what that meant—his combat power would be greatly improved! And Zhong Chuhong was actually pregnant with twins, which made him look forward to the future even more.

Cao Kun decided to let Zhong Chuhong go to Los Angeles to raise a baby.

He arranged a villa there and several gold medal nannies to take care of her.

... ... 0

Although Zhong Chuhong was a little reluctant to leave him, for the sake of the child's health and safety, she still decided to follow Cao Kun's arrangement.

When bidding farewell at the airport, Cao Kun hugged Zhong Chuhong tightly.

"You have to take good care of yourself and our children.

I'll take care of this side as soon as possible, and then I'll go and accompany you!"

Zhong Chuhong nodded with tears in her eyes.

"I will, you have to take care of yourself too, don't let me worry!"

......

Next, the Iran-Iraq war is about to break out, and Cao Kun is going to start speculating in oil futures again.

In a spacious, brightly lit office in Central, Hong Kong Island, Cao Kun sits at a huge desk, his eyes sparkling sharply.

The report in his hand clearly shows that the current oil price has fallen to 20 yuan.

In his eyes, this figure is not just a simple price, but also a huge opportunity.

According to his memories of the original time and space, the Iran-Iraq war will soon break out, which will greatly stimulate the skyrocketing of oil prices.

The price of oil can be up to 40 yuan, which means that the price of oil will double.

And in this doubling process, coupled with the effect of leverage, they will have the opportunity to make a lot of money.

Cao Kun raised his head and looked at Fok Yingdong, Stanley Ho and Bao Yugang who were sitting opposite him.

Their faces were full of seriousness and seriousness, and they all clearly saw the importance of this opportunity.

"Everyone," Cao Kun spoke, his voice firm and powerful, "now we have a great opportunity.

In my judgment, the Iran-Iraq war is about to break out, which will lead to a sharp rise in oil prices, most likely a doubling of the price.

We need to raise $3 billion to seize this opportunity!"

Huo Yingdong frowned: "$3 billion? This is not a small amount, we need to plan it well!"

"That's right," Stanley said, "and we also need to consider the risks, after all, no one can say for sure about the war!"

Mr. Bao Yugang was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "I trust Cao Kun's judgment.

He has always been an excellent trader and has a very high sensitivity to the market.

If we want to seize this opportunity, we need to act as soon as possible!"

Cao Kun nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Bao, for your trust."

I'm going to put $2 billion into it myself.

In addition, Mr. Rong's international trust company will also invest $600 million.

The $600 million is related to our foreign exchange, and I originally wanted to give it all selflessly without taking any shares.

But Mr. Rong said that he was talking about business, and it turned out that he was talking about fifty-five accounts, which is five-five accounts......"

Hearing this, Fok Yingdong and Stanley Ho both showed surprised expressions.

They knew that Mr. Rong's strength and background were very strong, but he valued Cao Kun so much, which made them admire Cao Kun even more.

Bao Yugang said seriously: "In this 1979, I believe that there will never be a successful futures master who can handle such a large amount of money like Cao Kun, and now even Mr. Rong believes in him, what do you have to worry about......

Fok Yingdong and Stanley Holland both nodded in agreement.

They knew that Cao Kun was a trustworthy partner and an extremely good trader.

They believe that under his leadership, they will be able to seize this opportunity to make a lot of money!
