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

In the 17th century, the Netherlands was known as the coachman of the sea. At that time, the Netherlands was one of the most powerful countries in the world.

Since the 1970s, the maritime kingdom built by Bao Yugang is now the world's top shipping king.

However, it is a pity that there is no successor.

Yang Ming came back from Bao Yugang's Deep Water Bay villa.

Under the service of Azhu and Zhong Chuhong, after taking a bath, he returned to the study and looked at a map of the world in front of him.

Although he has read this world map many times, he feels different every time he reads it.

Hong Kong.

This is a small place where East and West meet.

Yang Ming regards this place as his headquarters. He wants the ships of the First Shipping Group to be spread in port cities around the world.

Introduction time.

Yang Ming knew that he would be the new world shipping king after Bao Yugang.

Azhu and Zhong Chuhong kept watching the young master looking at the world map. They didn't know what was so interesting about the world map.

Yang Ming took away the world map.

See the map of Haojiang above.

Haojiang.

In 1978, the population was 24.6 and the land area was 15 square kilometers.

Yang Ming looked over and found that on the current map of Haojiang, in addition to Haojiang Peninsula, Taipa Island, and Coloane Island, there was also a Governor-General of Gallepi Bridge between Haojiang Peninsula and Taipa Island.

The three major islands in the Haojiang River now seem to be much smaller than he imagined.

When I went to Yanjing this time, Mr. He Xian from Haojiang paid a special visit to him and warmly invited him to visit him in Haojiang after returning to Xiangjiang.

Yang Ming knew that he could just take time to visit Mr. He Xian.

"Master, this Haojiang is so small."

Haojiang is already small, but it is not static and will continue to grow.

. . .

Have a night's rest.

The next morning.

Yang Ming and his parents finished breakfast.

Take a bus to the Empire Group at the Federal Building.

Yang Ming returned to the chairman's office.

Lin Xiuzhi made him a cup of coffee.

Yang Ming sat there, reading the newspaper. Not surprisingly, news about the establishment of the First Shipping Group by the Imperial Group was still brewing in Xiangjiang.

Last night, many big names related to the shipping industry in Hong Kong couldn't sleep.

Yang Ming slept very comfortably.

9:30am.

Mai Lisi came to Yang Ming's office.

"Boss, after I sent a ten-person team to acquire the Xiangjiang Water Company to negotiate with the Water Supplies Department of the Xiangjiang Governor's Palace, the results are now out."

The results of the acquisition negotiations are out?

Yang Ming knew that if Governor Mailihao had no problems, the Water Supplies Department under the Governor's Mansion, even if some of them might have problems, would not be able to raise any objections.

Meris initially assessed the market value based on the revenue and profits of the Xiangjiang Water Company, which was estimated to be around HK$10 billion, which is half of the market value of the Kadoorie family's China Electric Power Company.

After the negotiations between the Imperial Group's acquisition negotiation team and the Water Supplies Department of the Hong Kong Governor's Palace, the two parties have now agreed to acquire the Xiangjiang Water Company based on its total market value of HK$8 million.

8 billion Hong Kong dollars?

In Mai Lisi's view, this is indeed neither more nor less.

Yang Ming knew that the Xiangjiang Water Supply Company was a public welfare company, and the Governor's Office had always invested in it every year. The construction of reserve reservoirs such as Plover Cove Reservoir cost a lot of money in those years.

However, a company like this cannot be calculated that way.

Just like the original Lai TV station, the majority shareholder Lai's Voice invested a lot of money since the 2s. This year, it was sold to the Empire Group based on a total market value of HK$ million.

Now the Xiangjiang Water Supply Company is like that.

For the Water Supplies Department of the Government House of Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang Water Company is not a profit-making company, but a company that needs financial subsidies. Now selling those shares to the Imperial Group is equivalent to pushing the burden onto the Imperial Group.

"Among them, the Water Supplies Department of the Hong Kong Governor's Office owns 51% of the shares in the Hong Kong Water Company. Calculated, the acquisition will cost HK$4.08 million. We have not yet contacted the other shareholders of the Hong Kong Water Company. However, after discussing with the Governor of Hong Kong After the acquisition contract under the Provincial Water Supplies Department, Xiangjiang Water Company is already a holding company under our Empire Group."

"Merith, you did a good job."

In Mai Lisi's view, the acquisition of the Hong Kong Governor's Water Supplies Department's shares in the Hong Kong Water Company is not challenging at all.

The main reason is that Yang Ming and Governor Mailihao have already negotiated privately, and the only thing left is to formally sign the acquisition contract. Even if someone else is assigned to take charge of this matter, it is very easy.

"Boss, what are the current personnel appointment arrangements for Xiangjiang Water Company?" Merlis asked.

"Mailisi, our Imperial Group's acquisition of the Xiangjiang Water Company does not need to hold a press conference. However, you will represent me and the Imperial Group to meet with other shareholders. Among them, the chairman of the Xiangjiang Water Company, I will be the general manager, and you will be the general manager. The other positions will remain unchanged for the time being. Apart from that, neither you nor I will spend time interfering with the current development of Xiangjiang Water Company. In terms of finance, Tang Shilian will send people to take charge of and Supervision.”

If it were in the past, Yang Ming would have attracted the attention of many people if he swallowed the Xiangjiang Water Company.

Compared with the First Shipping Group that Yang Ming has just formed, not many people really pay attention to it.

For those ordinary citizens of Xiangjiang.

There are only two of them that are most sensitive.

First, sufficient water for daily use, including bathing, cooking, washing clothes, etc.

Second, the price of tap water must be lower than their income level, and the price of tap water must be stable.

This does not mean that the price of tap water cannot rise, but it must be within a reasonable range of increase.

Yang Ming knew that many water companies would often hold so-called hearings when raising tap water prices.

In Hong Kong, there are actually such hearings, including staff from the water company, staff from the Governor's Office, and citizen representatives. Many times, when the hearings are over, the price of tap water will still rise.

This has a lot to do with prices and other aspects.

Moreover, the tap water is not produced in Xiangjiang itself, but sold to Xiangjiang from the mainland.

If the mainland wants to charge more for tap water, then the price of tap water here in Xiangjiang will definitely rise accordingly.

"In addition, Mailisi, you are going to send people to Yangcheng in Guangdong Province to negotiate with Xiangjiang Water Company and Dongjiang Water Supply Company in Guangdong Province on my behalf, including the annual increase in water supply, tap water prices, and Sign the contract.”

Now that Yang Ming, the old man, and Governor Maliho have discussed the situation of the wave of people fleeing Hong Kong, if nothing unexpected happens, hundreds of thousands of people from the mainland will still flock to Hong Kong in the past two or three years.

By then, tap water will be the most basic living condition. Before then, we must try our best to meet the domestic water needs of local residents in Xiangjiang and new immigrants entering Xiangjiang.

"Boss, I've written it down. I'm going to send those team members, as well as representatives from the Xiangjiang Water Company and the Water Supplies Department of the Xiangjiang Governor's Palace to Guangdong Province."

Except this.

Yang Ming has already had a phone call with Tang Yun who is far away in Yanjing.

Tang Yun learned that her boss, Mr. Yang, had just returned to Xiangjiang, immediately purchased the Xiangjiang Water Company, and requested an increase in domestic water supply, so she asked her to meet with the old man on her behalf.

The old gentleman will go to Japan for a visit in a few days. In these few days, Tang Yun happens to meet the old gentleman on behalf of Yang Ming.

Not surprisingly, when the old gentleman learned what Yang Ming meant, he must have agreed and approved of it.

Before leaving Yanjing, Yang Ming proposed to allow new immigrants who wanted to leave the country to develop in Hong Kong, which meant that a large number of immigrants would enter Hong Kong.

The first thing to solve is of course fresh water.

When the old man in Yanjing found out, he only had to give Mr. Xi in Guangdong Province a call. Mr. Xi in Yangcheng, Guangdong Province had already learned that Mr. Yang of the Imperial Group had acquired Xiangjiang Water Company, and soon sent people to Guangdong Province to talk to them. water company negotiations.
