I became the richest man in the world after losing my life in a vegetative state.

In Yang Ming's view, the importance of the stock market lies in its ability to provide financing to help companies develop and grow. Many companies in Hong Kong have grown step by step through listing financing.

Li Jiacheng's Changjiang Industrial Group is like that, and other listed companies in Hong Kong are like that.

In other words, listed companies can develop the company through financing, and for investors, in addition to dividends, there is also an increase in the value of the stock market.

However, I don’t know when a group of so-called penny stocks began to appear in Hong Kong.

As investors, what many people hate most is not only the lack of dividends, but also the fact that they become shareholders through speculation. In fact, these are junk stocks, basically companies that defraud investors to raise funds through listing.

Now, a large number of domestic companies are hoping to be listed in Hong Kong.

Also known as red chip stocks.

Yang Ming feels that of course he hopes that companies with potential can be listed in Xiangjiang, which can also bring a lot of benefits to investors in Xiangjiang.

However, if he just wanted to come to Xiangjiang to deceive investors, Yang Ming thought it was better to forget it.

Yang Ming and Xu Qingsheng talked for a long time.

He feels that for the health of Xiangjiang Securities Company, it is not only necessary to learn from the stock market of country M, but also to regularly remove junk stocks, stabilize the Xiangjiang stock market, and gradually introduce companies with global potential.

Historically, many domestic Internet companies with great potential have gone public in country M, which has brought a lot of benefits to investors in country M.

Yang Ming feels that if these companies are unwilling to be listed in China, they can go public in Xiangjiang, and he is very supportive.

Xu Qingsheng left.

Yang Ming is still in the study.

. . .

Time came to December 1993, 12 in the blink of an eye.

Today is Friday.

It’s also Christmas Eve.

Yang Ming did not go back to work at the Empire Group Building because today there will be a grand Christmas Eve banquet at the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa, mainly to entertain the white executives of the Empire Group, as well as white upper-class people such as the Governor of Hong Kong.

Last year, Yang Ming had already raised the issue of building the Lingdingyang Bridge.

At the beginning of the year, Governor Zhong Yijie personally visited Haojiang, Zhucheng, Guangdong, Pengcheng and other places on the opposite side, and also went to Yanjing to meet with Mr. Jiang and others.

As for Yang Ming's proposal to build the Lingdingyang Bridge, the country strongly agrees with it.

In other words, the Lingdingyang Bridge will definitely be built, and it will be built as soon as possible.

According to current technology, it is not impossible to build such a bridge.

Now it involves Xiangjiang, Haojiang, Zhucheng, Pengcheng, Imperial Group, Guangdong Province, and the country, which means that seven parties have jointly funded the construction.

Judging from the current situation, the cost of building this Lingdingyang Bridge is about 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is about six or seven times that of the Humen Bridge built in the past, and one-sixth of that bridge in history.

Of course, HKD 20 billion is still very valuable now.

The specific total investment is also divided into different shares. Among them, Empire Group holds 20% of the shares, which is an investment of 40 billion Hong Kong dollars, Xiangjiang holds 5% of the shares, which is 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, and Haojiang holds 5%, investing 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. Zhucheng 5%, with an investment of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, Pengcheng 5%, with an investment of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the rest is from Guangdong Province and China, accounting for 60%. However, this 60%, accounting for 120 billion Hong Kong dollars, also requires financing from Hong Kong of.

In other words, borrow money from Xiangjiang.

These have basically been negotiated now.

This time, Yang Ming and Zhong Yijie were discussing this matter in the study. The Imperial Group invested 40 billion Hong Kong dollars, which seemed like a lot. However, neither Xiangjiang nor Haojiang invested much, and it would not affect tax revenue.

However, if the Lingdingyang Bridge can be like the Humen Bridge when it opens, it will be regarded as a golden channel.

Yang Ming felt that this needed to change.

It is no longer like the bridge in history. Although it was opened, it did not connect to Pengcheng and lost a lot of passenger traffic.

If it connects Xiangjiang, Pengcheng, Zhucheng and Haojiang, it is actually equivalent to connecting both sides of the Pearl River Estuary, which will bring a lot of passenger flow.

However, cars in Xiangjiang are right-hand drive, while in China they are left-hand drive, so you should also refer to the different driving methods on both sides.

However, in Yang Ming's view, these are not problems.

The most critical issue is the technical issue of bridge repair.

Domestic infrastructure is developing rapidly now, and a lot of infrastructure technology has been accumulated. However, compared with the historical situation in the next thirty or forty years, it is still far behind.

Therefore, for the construction of the Lingdingyang Bridge, everyone unanimously decided to hire bridge designers from all over the world, including the company that built the bridge.

Of course, if there are no problems with domestic companies, it is also possible.

For example, Yang Ming's Humen Bridge was built jointly by domestic workers, engineers from Hong Kong, and engineers from overseas.

Although the Lingdingyang Bridge is more difficult to build, Yang Ming believes that the skills of domestic workers and overseas engineers should be good.

"Try to repair it within five years."

It's the end of 1993, and it's 1994 in the blink of an eye.

And five years later, it was 1999.

Everything will definitely be different by then.

However, if the Lingdingyang Bridge can be repaired by then and connect Xiangjiang, Haojiang and other places together more quickly, it will be more beneficial to promote the development of the Greater Bay Area.

In Yang Ming’s view, the foundation of the Greater Bay Area is transportation.

If there is no change in transportation, it will be difficult to carry out division of labor and cooperation.

Finished talking with Zhong Yijie.

Zhong Yijie said: "Sir Yang, the rat exterminator you invited from China some time ago is really powerful. He also killed many rats in the Governor's Mansion."

Are there rats in the Governor's Palace of Hong Kong?

Of course there are.

And, quite a few.

It was just handed over to the rat extermination company before, but this time it was handed over to the rat exterminator king Qiu Mantun, and a batch of rats were really exterminated.

Zhong Yijie felt much more comfortable without those disgusting rats.

"Hasn't he gone back yet?"

During this period, Qiu Mantun made a lot of money in Xiangjiang and Haojiang. Yang Ming rarely heard from him and thought he had returned to his hometown.

Unexpectedly, I was still in Xiangjiang.

"He is a talented person. We need it in Xiangjiang, and we also need it in London. I also suggested that he go to London to eliminate rats. But there are more environmental protection organizations there, which may be a bit troublesome."

There are really many environmental protection organizations in Europe.

Like before, the land reclamation carried out by Yang Ming and the Imperial Group still aroused protests from some environmental groups. However, in the end, due to Yang Ming's influence and the intervention of the Governor's Office and London, the matter was settled.

Although rats are disgusting, some people in Europe really think that exterminating rats in large numbers will have a great impact on the environment. They feel that if other animals cannot catch rats to eat, such as snakes, then they will Systems affecting the biosphere.

Therefore, Qiu Mantun also knows the situation in Europe. Of course he will not go there, but he still wants to make more money and then return to China for development.
