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

In Yang Ming's view, his trip to Yanjing to attend the National Day ceremony, his return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and his return to the country for inspection were actually all related to the same thing, and that was related to domestic investment.

However, in the eyes of white people like Mai Lisi, it is one thing for Yang Ming to return to Yanjing to attend the National Day ceremony, the second thing to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, the third thing to return to the country for inspection, and even more so to return to the country to invest. The fourth thing.

Meris and the others understood it that way, and Yang Ming also understood it.

Now he wants to say that he is about to go back to his hometown with his parents to visit.

"Everyone, we can't determine how long we will go back for the time being. The itinerary and schedule have not been finalized yet. While I am not in Xiangjiang, Meris is still responsible for all the affairs of the Empire Group on my behalf. Anything that cannot be solved by its subsidiary groups will be dealt with. You can ask Meris to resolve it."

"Thank you boss for your trust." Melis said excitedly.

"Regarding the matter of joint investment in land reclamation with three major families in Haojiang some time ago, Meris called you to discuss and vote together. I think it was done very well."

Yang Ming knew that this was not just for the present, but for the future.

For the modern company management system in Europe and the United States, it is actually the professional manager system like Meris. Moreover, this perfect professional manager system is actually very important for family inheritance.

Now Yang Ming, he is very capable and he has a clear idea of ​​the future direction.

If in the next generation, or even the next generation, the heirs are not strong enough, they blindly direct and interfere in the company's affairs, then the wealth accumulated by three generations may be lost in one generation.

In other words, it is easy to conquer a country but difficult to defend it.

In addition to having outstanding heirs, many large companies in foreign countries, even those that have been established for hundreds of years, actually hire professional managers to manage them.

Like Niu Bijian before him, who was a professional manager and had no shares in Jardine Land, he was still conscientious and conscientious, even to the point of committing suicide in the end.

Yang Ming is cultivating this model now.

Even if he is not with the Imperial Group for a long time, the Imperial Group will still be able to operate normally internally without him.

"The second thing is the focus of tonight."

Meris and others looked over.

Yang Ming said: "We have not swallowed up those British capital for some time, so now it is time to move on to the next one. The most important thing is that we now have sufficient funds."

"Tang Shilian, tell me about the funds we can use now."

"Yes, boss."

"Boss, first of all, in the second half of the year, global stock markets gained nearly HK$50 billion."

"Second, after the launch of the second game "Pac-Man" by Imperial Games, it became popular all over the world. Adding in the original revenue from the first game, the funds that can be used now are nearly 20 billion US dollars, which is about 110 billion Hong Kong dollars. .”

"Third, the investment fund from Huifeng Bank can now use 20 billion Hong Kong dollars."

"Fourth, the net profit dividends from Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa add up to nearly HK$5 million."

"Others, such as Red Bull Beverage Company, have a profit of more than HK$2000 million, but it is not much."

In addition to these, Asian TV and Asian record companies are all breaking even.

In other words, this is now the main income.

One is from stock market income, one is from gaming income, one is from Huifeng Bank Investment Fund, and the other is from Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa. After the acquisition, under the arrangement of Ma Shimin and Wei Li, the combined profit is not bad, reaching 5 million Hong Kong dollars. If it comes to next year, the income dividend may be even higher.

These add up to nearly 185 billion Hong Kong dollars.

It’s also a lot of money.

The last time, 156 billion Hong Kong dollars were spent on the acquisition of Jardine Matheson Land & Company, and nearly 124 billion Hong Kong dollars were left in the account. However, excluding the expenditure on game hardware, there was still about 60 billion Hong Kong dollars left.

In other words, the combined accounts of Empire Group can use 245 billion Hong Kong dollars, nearly 44 billion US dollars.

This is not set in stone.

The amount of funds available is still changing.

Even if Yang Ming wants to use more funds, with the current empire group's industry, he can use at least more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars.

For companies that can use more than 1978 billion Hong Kong dollars now in , in Hong Kong, apart from Huifeng Bank, there should be no other company that can do it.

Meris and others looked normal.

Li Caixin and Bao Fuda were really surprised.

Bao Fuda only knew that the Imperial Group easily swallowed up Jardine Land last time, but he did not expect that the funds that the Imperial Group could use were so huge.

Li Caixin is now really beginning to understand the strength of the Imperial Group.

A large group that could use 20 to 30 billion Hong Kong dollars was completely beyond his imagination.

After Tang Shilian finished her report.

Yang Ming said: "Our funds seem to be sufficient, but for me, it is far from enough. So, don't think that this is already a lot of money. We have to invest a lot."

"What I want to announce now is that I will swallow up the Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company."

Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company?

Melis was also a little surprised.

The last time Yang Ming was acquiring the Xiangjiang Water Company, he felt that it would be better to acquire the Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company than to acquire the Xiangjiang Water Company.

After all, there are only two major power companies in Xiangjiang.

The first was the CLP Power Company of the Kadoorie family.

The Kadoorie family is the controlling shareholder of CLP Power. It is simply impossible for outsiders to swallow up CLP Power.

CLP Power's main monopolized markets are in Kowloon and the New Territories.

The other one is the Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company.

The Heung Kong Electric Company has a monopoly on electricity on Hong Kong Island.

The electric lights in the high-rise buildings in Xiangjiang Central District now use the power of Xiangjiang Electric Lighting, and as far as the current listed companies in Xiangjiang are concerned.

Xiangjiang Electric has always ranked fourth in market value.

The first is Huifeng Bank, with a market capitalization of HK$81 billion.

The second is Hangzhou Bank, with a market capitalization of HK$53 billion.

The third is Xiangjiang Land, with a market value of HK$36 billion.

The fourth is Heung Kong Electric Lighting Company, with a market value of HK$30 billion.

However, now, Yang Ming has invested in Huifeng Bank, taking 20% ​​of the shares. The largest shareholder of Hengfeng Bank is Huifeng Bank, controlling more than 60% of the shares.

Heung Kong Land was acquired by Imperial Group some time ago, and it was the turn of Heung Kong Electric Company.

Many people have been eyeing the Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company for a long time.

Historically, Li Jiacheng first targeted Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company. Li Jiacheng was not strong enough and gave up waiting for the opportunity first.

Then Heung Kong Land took the opportunity to buy the shares of Heung Kong Electric Company at a high price and became the largest shareholder of Heung Kong Electric Company.

Later, Jardine Matheson Land encountered serious debts. Historically, it was Simon Keswick who served as the new taipan. As a last resort, he sold the shares of Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company to Li Jiacheng.

Historically, Li Jiacheng eventually swallowed up the Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company.

Li Jiacheng also relied on swallowing up the Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company to obtain a lot of stable and flowing dividend funds every year, so that when the real estate crisis in Xiangjiang broke out in the 1980s, he was able to survive safely.

Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company has never had a major family shareholder. Under such circumstances, many people are naturally eyeing it. However, the market value is too high, and it is not easy for any company to become the largest shareholder.
