When I am reborn in Hong Kong, I just want to lie down

Chapter 245 The Lost Battle of Wheelock 1

After the signing of the "Joint Declaration", Xiangjiang seemed to wake up and start a new chapter from top to bottom. For example, after Christmas, the stock market soared by more than 40%, which made Li Bu's previous life, which had been hovering at more than 3000 points, strengthened countless times. Times, it’s so exciting; for another example, after Harbor City is fully operational, it has become a shopping mecca in Hong Kong. If you come to Hong Kong, you must go to Harbor City.

In recent days, Li Bu has been looking at the report with a smile. Wharf's current business capacity is very strong. If it continues to develop according to the current situation, it will be able to recover its costs in ten years. If the rent increases in a few years, then only It took three years, which shows how terrible the rental income was. This also allowed the Harbor City Wharf to invest in the construction of Times Square and complete the Russell Commercial Street.

After New Year's Day, when Madden and Liang Zhu were playing golf together, they expressed the intention of quitting Hong Kong.

"Liang Sheng, although I am the chairman of the board of directors, I still have to be controlled by others, which makes me tired of dealing with internal affairs of the group and a little exhausted."

Hearing the meaning of his words, which was that he wanted to withdraw from Xiangjiang, he said with some confusion: "My friend, who is making you unhappy? Let me hear it and see if I can help." One sentence is, let me be happy.

It turns out that as early as 30 years ago, the Zhang family, who started their business by relying on medicine, had accumulated a lot of wealth in a low-key manner. Because the family was very low-key, they became the invisible rich in Hong Kong. As early as the 60s, the Federal Building and the International Building were built. The building acquired by Wharf later sold the two buildings for more than 20 billion; the Zhang family first exchanged these two buildings for 77% of the shares of Federal Real Estate, and then used the shares of Federal Real Estate and other properties to become Wheelock's Actual controlling shareholder.

The Zhang family and the Madden family, one wanted meat but not skin, and the other wanted skin but not meat, so the two parties quickly reached an agreement, allowing Madden to continue to serve as chairman of Wheelock's board of directors; the reason may be because of the low-key character of this family. , did not join the Wheelock Group, otherwise, his family would become the first family with Chinese capital to acquire British foreign companies.

If there had not been a property dispute within the family, part of the Zhang family's property would have been disclosed during the court proceedings, bringing the Zhang family to the forefront and letting the citizens of Xiangjiang know that such a low-key family with huge wealth would The world was shocked.

Today's Morning News reported on this matter, and Today's Evening News continued to report on the Zhang family, and was asked by the other party to stop reporting, which made Bald Liang have a relationship with the other party. Today's Evening News took advantage of the situation and stopped reporting, selling the Zhang family a favor.

In the late 70s, there was a world shipping crisis. However, Madden, who was eager for success, did not see the crisis clearly and was still preparing to expand the number and tonnage of cargo holds. Even if Pacific Industries handed over half of its freight to Wheelock, it would still not change Wheelock's income. decline, and the Zhang family opposed Madden's plan, believing that it would be a good idea to focus their business on real estate. Wheelock, which started out as a shipping company, owns a large number of properties and land, as well as retail and other industries. It is a good idea to develop real estate. choice, but was rejected by the stubborn Madden. In this way, the Zhang family exercised their majority rights and often undermined him. During those two years, the real estate industry was in recession. The other shareholders did not know which side of the two sides was right or where to stand. Whichever side he was on, this made him lose face, which made him a little frustrated.

After hearing the cause and effect, Bald Liang said, "My friend, you can sell your shares, so that you can enjoy life." Hearing Bald Liang's words, he was very moved and said, "But who can provide so much cash? After saying that, he thought of one thing, then pointed at him with a smile and said: "You bald head are so bad, are you trying to take advantage of me again?" Although he said it in a teasing tone, he didn't mind it. Regarding the Sub-Federal Building and the International Building, I am actually very happy.

Bald Liang didn't say anything. Instead, he shrugged and showed a helpless expression, as if he could say whatever he wanted. His expression fell into Madden's eyes. He felt that this guy was too interesting and said, "This time I'm going to give him something." I’ll give you a high price, I know your son-in-law is rich.”

Bald Liang was not embarrassed by being exposed. Instead, he smiled and said, "Madden, who made us friends? I will definitely give you a satisfactory offer this time so that you can have a prosperous life."

……

That night, Bald Liang invited Li Bu and his family to have dinner together. He and Li Bu drank a few glasses of red wine and chatted while eating. Then he turned the topic to Li Bu and said, "Old Li, you have a good son. ;Abu, you really hit the mark, Madden is willing to sell his shares in Wheelock and withdraw from Wheelock, but he wants a high price."

After hearing this, Li Bu was not surprised. He looked like he was sure of victory and kept mumbling. Baldy Liang wanted to scold him, but then he said, "Ladou, what price do you want to buy it at?"

Bald Liang thought about it, Wheelock, a company that started as a shipping company, its shipping strength should not be underestimated. Many businesses can complement the current business map of Li Liangzhu and Li Liangzhu. After acquiring Wheelock, it will be even more powerful. He pondered for a while. He said: "At a [-]% premium to the closing price, the other party should be able to accept it, right?" It seemed like an answer, but also like a question.

"Then let's pay a premium of [-]%. You talk to him, and then make an appointment with the Zhang family and let them have a drink. Then ask the Zhang family if they are willing to sell it. Let's buy it together." Li Bu Baldy Liang was shocked by his appetite. Did the Zhang family also want to withdraw?

As a long-established British-owned foreign firm, Wheelock's name was so well-known that it made everyone at the dinner table quiet. A multi-billion deal was already negotiated?Guan Jiahui's eyes gleamed. She was the most disdainful person about money. She immediately became energetic, causing Liang Xiaoshi, who was two seats away, to glare at her before she hesitated. Li Bu looked back and saw this scene. It's kind of funny, this money addict is hopeless.

In recent years, Li Buxiao has invested in Jiamei Real Estate, and his shareholding has increased from 50% to 75%. This is after raising the valuation of the original properties and investing the same amount of money, which has increased his shareholding. Guan Jiahui accounted for 17.25%, Liang Xiaoshi 2.5%, Kate 2.5%, and Junko 2.5%.

Currently, Jiamei Real Estate owns Russell Street, two streets in Lan Kwai Fong, a building in Taikoo Shing, and later purchased a large number of scattered units in Taikoo Shing, as well as many villas in the Mid-Levels, land exchange rights in the New Territories, and a large number of Causeway Bay It is said that half of the shops are owned by Jiamei Real Estate. Once they are put on the market, they are basically taken over by Jiamei Real Estate.

The reason is that Jiamei Real Estate has opened many intermediaries all over Hong Kong, so that he can know where there are properties for sale at the first time, so that he can buy them at any time.
