We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

When we arrived at the living room of the yacht, several juniors poured drinks and coffee and brought them to us.

service personnel? What a joke, since we chose such a secret method to meet in a place like this, how could we let the service staff come over?

"Tell me, what's the reason for making it so mysterious today?".

After three rounds of drinking, Luo Nianzhong opened his mouth to ask the questions in his heart as he saw the few people still acting like they were reunited with old friends and discussing the past and present.

Seeing Luo Nianzhong asking, several people also stopped chatting. After looking at each other, Li Bancheng spoke again.

"I wonder if Luo Sheng knows that Keswick is collecting funds to invest overseas recently? There is even news that he is going to relocate Jardine and Land."

"Your goal is to land?"

In this way, Luo Nianzhong understood why Li Bancheng and others were so secretive, and why they wanted to find him.

As for why it’s not Jardine, it’s simple.

The Keswick family has lifted the mutual control strategy of Jardine Matheson Land since Luo Nianzhong and Charter King jointly took over the Wharf. Now the Keswick family owns more than 40% of Jardine Matheson's shares, making a hostile takeover impossible.

But Land is different. The Keswick family's control over Land is not as strong as that of Jardine Matheson. It only accounts for 21% of the total shares. There is too much room for maneuver.

Didn't you hear what Li Bancheng said just now that Keswick is investing heavily overseas? What does this mean? It means that the funds in hand are not sufficient.

If a takeover war begins at this time, it is impossible for the Keswick family to have such a huge amount of cash.

This is also the reason why the four people in front of them want to recruit Luo Nianzhong to join the group, even if they know that joining Luo Nianzhong will definitely take away a large piece of the cake.

Affected by the support of the Far East Group at that time, Hong Kong's stock market did not suffer a long-term crash like what had happened in history.

Coupled with the massive inflow of overseas capital over the past year, Land's market value has now exceeded HK$200 billion, reaching HK$213 billion. It is still the listed company with the highest real estate market value on Hong Kong Island.

It is impossible to complete a hostile takeover of Land without paying a 50% premium.

This may still be a small amount, after all, a group of foreign wolves nearby are watching eagerly, all wanting to bite off a piece of meat and make a fortune.

This means that even if they only acquire 51% of the shares, Li Bancheng and others will need to come up with about 160 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash. How can a few people come up with it?

Let alone 32 billion Hong Kong dollars, even one-fifth of billion Hong Kong dollars cannot be obtained by several companies without loans.

Net worth is net worth, and cash flow is not the same concept.

In Hong Kong Island, there are only two companies that can come up with this money, one is Luo Nianzhong, and the other is HSBC Bank.

Although HSBC was cut off by Luo Nianzhong and its foundation in Hong Kong Island was destroyed, its size is still there.

Now that HSBC has moved to England to complete its globalization strategy, it can mobilize more funds.

And what about Luo Nianzhong? This 160 billion Hong Kong dollars is just drizzle to him and Far East Group.

When the takeover war breaks out, Keswick will definitely turn to HSBC. With the true god Luo Nianzhong on their side, they won't be afraid of the other side.

There are many profitable businesses in the world, but Luo Nianzhong is really not very proud of the real estate industry.

Regardless of the fact that Far East Land is definitely No. 1 on Hong Kong Island in terms of net assets, all it can develop are some big projects.

Luo Nianzhong did this in the hope of stabilizing the development of real estate and making housing prices more reasonable.

For example, the Times Square project on Hong Kong Island, the largest and most luxurious building in Causeway Bay, is not the most expensive when it comes to leasing and selling. This has a great impact on the rents of commercial real estate in places around Causeway Bay.

There is no problem with the high price. The location of Hong Kong Island, and enjoying the Rabbit policy in the future means that all foreign-funded companies that invest in Rabbit will set their Asian headquarters on Hong Kong Island.

Because this can save 5% of taxes, there are never too many buildings on Hong Kong Island.

There is no problem with reasonable value addition, but if it is so high that various real estate speculators collectively speculate on high-rise buildings by floor, it will not be acceptable to Luo Nianzhong. This will increase the company's costs and the overall cost will inevitably be affected.

Landmark wants to say that the only thing that interests Luo Nianzhong is his rebuilt buildings in Central. If these are brought under his control, plus the piece of land in Exchange Square that Far East Land snatched from Landmark, Luo Nianzhong can do it in the future. It is said that these buildings can directly affect the price of commercial real estate on Hong Kong Island.

Besides, the Jardines and HSBC were the two fists of British capital in Hong Kong later. Luo Nianzhong had already cut off an arm of HSBC and he didn’t mind cutting off the Jardines and Keswick family.

Luo Nianzhong did not speak, but looked at the other people, wanting to know their preparations.

The first person to speak this time was Robert Kuok, "Kerry Group has reached an agreement with banks in Malaysia and Thailand and can raise HK$20 billion in funds."

Kerry Group is a company registered in Hong Kong Island by the Guo Brothers Group. Its main business is the real estate and hotel business in Hong Kong Island and Rabbit.

For example, the Island Shangri-La Hotel in Hong Kong and the first Shangri-La Hotel in the Mainland, which is about to open soon, have been completed in Hangzhou.

"Sino Land can also raise HK$15 billion in a short period of time."

As expected, it is the Temasek boss, but not everyone can raise so much money in a short period of time.

"Fok Hing Ye Tang has been authorized by Bank of China, and one billion Hong Kong dollars can be received at any time."

Good guy, he is indeed a red capitalist, and his relationship is extraordinary.

Rabbit's own foreign exchange was very tight, and he actually took out so much money directly for Huo Daheng. Luo Nianzhong even doubted whether Huo Daheng had nothing to lose this time.

"Cheung Kong's funds are quite sufficient. It will not be a problem to spend one billion Hong Kong dollars. If necessary, we can add another five hundred million Hong Kong dollars."

It seems that the money he borrowed from Far East Bank to develop Ho Man Tin made him a lot of money.

20 billion, 15 billion, one billion, one billion, this adds up to billion Hong Kong dollars, which looks like a lot, but the bulk is still not solved.

“How to divide the land after success?”.

Brothers have to settle accounts, so it's better to discuss this kind of thing in advance, otherwise there will be no fuss when the time comes.

Luo Nianzhong said this and few people were surprised. The mall itself is like this, business is business, and business is just business.

"Ah Zhong, you must be the one taking the lead this time, so it's most appropriate for you to make the first cut on this cake."

"Okay, now that Uncle Ho has said so, I won't be pretentious. I will accept the building of Landmark Central and the retail business of Dairy Milk International without mercy."

What is Land's largest industry? Of course, it is the skyscrapers with excellent locations that stand in Central. This is why Land is known as the largest landowner in Central.

As for the retail business of Milk International, if Watsons takes over this part of the business, it will be regarded as a monopoly on Hong Kong Island’s retail department stores.

Its Wellcome Supermarket is the second largest supermarket chain in Hong Kong after Parknshop. In addition, it also has a 50% stake in Maxim's Food. The milk ice cream industry is a good complement to Watsons.

After taking over the retail business of Dairy Milk International, Watsons accounts for more than 80% of the market share in the food retail industry on Hong Kong Island. The rest are in some department stores in the island country, which cannot make any waves at all.

The piece of cake cut by Luo Nianzhong made everyone feel relieved, because the cake was within their expectations and even cut into small pieces.

Several people put it together, and the final result was that Robert Kuok acquired the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, Land's other important asset besides Dairy Farm International.

This hotel group has several hotels in Southeast Asia, which is a good harvest for this old man who wants to be a hotel tycoon.

Fok Hing Yip Tong acquires all commercial buildings except Central. Land Land not only has buildings in Central, but also has buildings and land in Tsuen Wan Tsim Sha Tsui East and other places.

Cheung Kong and Sino Land have obtained residential projects and land from Dairy Farm International and Land, which is a big cake.

Just the newly completed Luk Yang New Estate in Tsuen Wan, the cattle sheds and offices in Pok Fu Lam and other large areas of land are enough for the two real estate companies to be busy for several years, not to mention that Land has a lot of land in Yuen Long and Tai Yantian.

Don't think that Land only has commercial buildings. If you separate the residential buildings, the land area will definitely rank among the top three real estate developers on Hong Kong Island, or even the first.

Everyone was satisfied with the outcome of the discussion and got what they wanted in this acquisition.

Raising his glass, Luo Nianzhong said, "Then I wish our acquisition a complete success, and I wish you all a prosperous birthday."

"cheers".

Joy? They were naturally happy to get a good property from Land, but Luo Nianzhong's few words made their hearts less rippled.

Wish you all, not us, this sentence shows that the Hong Kong Island Economic Governor in front of him really looks down on this huge industry for everyone.

They are like this, not to mention the few young people on the side.
