The rise of Hong Kong's wealthy families

On August 28, the Hong Kong government held a charity auction, with the apparent purpose of benefiting the poor elderly and orphans in Hong Kong.

No fewer than a hundred Hong Kong rich people were invited. No charity party would require so many rich people to attend. Even if they really wanted to raise money, they also invited many people from the Z world and cultural circles. This scale seemed to have overwhelmed the entire Hong Kong. The elite class is wiped out in one fell swoop.

It’s hard to hide something in little Hong Kong. Rich people with good information channels know that at the beginning of the year, the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, was entrusted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to go to the north for an unofficial visit. The purpose is naturally self-evident. .

As a politician, of course MacLehose would not ask directly. Instead, he would use the land lease issue in the New Territories as a breakthrough point and use commercial reasons to confuse his thinking. After being discovered by the north, he could only return to Hong Kong in disgrace.

Until now, MacLehose finally couldn't help but prepare for this party. In fact, it was to win over all the forces in Hong Kong to safeguard their special interests in Hong Kong.

Due to the large number of people invited, the Government House could not accommodate the guests, so the venue of the party was moved to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

Security in the hotel is extremely strict today. There are a small number of police officers checking guests' identity information, and professional personnel are accompanying them.

There are many luxury cars such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Maybach parked in front of the hotel, but He Jiahao's Mercedes-Benz sedan is a bit low-end.

"There are a lot of luxury cars, and it seems that the cheapest one is mine." He Jiahao said jokingly to Huo Jianning.

Huo Jianning smiled and said, "Whether it's cheap or not doesn't depend on the luxury of the car. Even the Jardine Company doesn't dare to underestimate the boss's strength."

"You have learned a lot about flattery from A Ming." He Jiahao shook his head and said.

The party started at 7 o'clock. When He Jiahao and He Jiahao walked into the banquet hall, many people had already arrived. This kind of banquet is a good opportunity to enhance interpersonal relationships, so many small groups gathered together to chat leisurely.

Both He Jiahao and Huo Jianning knew a lot of people, so they dispersed and went to strike up a conversation.

"He Sheng." A voice suddenly sounded from the side.

He Jiahao turned around and saw that it was Li Jiacheng, so he smiled and said, "Li Sheng, you are fine."

Soon, many people began to gather around him. They were all the owners of small and medium-sized real estate companies, and they wanted to get acquainted with He Jiahao, the upstart in Hong Kong.

"He Sheng is so young that he actually acquired a large company like Hutchison Group. We have been operating for decades, but we can't compare with He Sheng's achievements in two years." This is Cui Baiquan, chairman of Legu Real Estate Co., Ltd., said if.

Lokko Real Estate is an unlisted real estate company, formerly known as Lokko Printing Company. After selling the printing business to a director last year, it changed its name to Lokko Properties. It now owns Lokko Building and Printing House in Ice House Street, Central. , three properties in Le Sing Hong, Le Ji Hong in North Point, and some scattered properties. It is a good real estate company.

Although the four buildings all cover an area of ​​10,000 square feet to 20,000 square feet, their value is not low, at about 300 million, which is better than the properties of Huamei Real Estate Company.

"Cui Sheng deserves the award, it's just good luck." He Jiahao responded with a smile.

He Jiahao was chatting with several Chinese businessmen, but Li Jiacheng left the scene to find Li Zhaoji, Bao Yugang and others, discussing business insights in general terms. Naturally, there would be no detailed discussion in such an occasion.

"He Sheng, long time no see, can we have a chat alone?" Bao Yu just came over to say hello.

He Jiahao nodded and apologized to others. He and Bao Yugang came to a remote corner and sat down, "Sheng Bao, do you want to talk about the Wharf?"

Bao Yugang nodded and said, "Yes, to be honest, I will leave Xiangjiang in October, and I have submitted an itinerary to the Wharf board of directors. I am worried that Nubigian and Bao Fuda will take advantage of this time to launch an acquisition." .”

He Jiahao suddenly realized that in his previous life, Nubigian and others did indeed do this. He was worthy of being the charter king and had already guessed Yihe's plan.

"What does Bao Sheng mean?" He Jiahao asked seriously.

"My ships have not been completely sold, and part of the funds have been withdrawn, which is not enough to pay for He Sheng's shares, so I want to buy He Sheng's shares at a price of 90 yuan per share. I will pay 500 million yuan first and the rest. It will be fully paid in the first half of next year, and I will pay the interest during the period at the 13 interest rate of bank loans. What do you think of He Sheng?" Bao Yugang said.

He Jiahao waved his hand and said, "How can I ask for interest on the things I have agreed with Bao Sheng? I can sign a contract with Bao Sheng at any time. Bao Sheng should already hold more than 35% of the shares, right?"

Bao Yugang smiled, shook his head and said, "I only hold 33.2% of the shares now, and I still need to acquire 1% of the shares."

"Well, then Yihe Company is destined to give up Wharf. Congratulations in advance to Bao Sheng for getting a high-quality company like Wharf." He Jiahao said sincerely.

In fact, since the agreement between He Jiahao and Bao Yugang, Jardine Matheson Company has lost Wharf Company and is just struggling to its death.

The lease term of the Harbor City land is 999 years. It is a rare piece of land in Hong Kong. It is a real heirloom and is of higher quality than the Whampoa Dock Company. If it weren't for the missed time, He Jiahao would definitely take over the Wharf at any cost instead of giving it to the Bao Yugang family.

"Thank you!" Bao Yugang said with a smile.

"If Mr. Bao doesn't mind, I hope to buy some shares of Wharf Company as an investment after the acquisition is completed." He Jiahao said half-jokingly.

Although he knew that Bao Yugang didn't mind others investing in Wharf, He Jiahao hoped not to have any quarrel with a strong man like Bao Yugang, and could even work together to develop other land under the Wharf. After all, Bao Yu had just abandoned his ship and landed, so he needed to With more real estate allies, He Jiahao can just draw a certain amount of profits.

"Haha, He Sheng is so optimistic about Wharf. It seems that I made a good choice." Bao Yugang laughed and said, "Wharf still owns a lot of land. I wonder if He Sheng is interested in buying shares?"

He Jiahao said in surprise, "Okay, thank you very much Bao Sheng for your support."

"It's not a win-win situation, it's a win-win situation. It's nothing. I'm afraid I still can't win the Wharf." Bao Yugang said.

On the surface, it is as Bao Yugang said, but in fact He Jiahao knows that without his help, Bao Yugang is just spending more money. The world's shipping king is the world's shipping king, and it is not comparable to a fledgling rich man like He Jiahao.

The Wharf Company not only owns a large area of ​​land in Harbor City, but also has many old warehouse sites in the New Territories near the seaside. It can earn a lot of profits by building residential properties, which can provide a large amount of funds for Harbor City, so Bao Yugang needs allies.

It is undoubtedly the best to invest in Wharf Company now. By the 21st century, the annual rent of Wharf properties will be 13 billion, which makes He Jiahao salivate.
