The rise of Hong Kong's wealthy families

late April

The news of Toshitaka's death was published in the newspaper.

When He Jiahao saw such news, he immediately fell into deep thought.

Lee Hyo-hwa is one of the second-generation heads of the Lee family. He and Lee Ming-ze jointly manage the family business Hysan Industrial Company. He is also one of the founders of TVB. He has many industries under his name, such as United Soda, Beauty Capital Hotels and Cathay Pacific Airways have made a lot of investments, and their influence is frightening.

However, Li Mingze is not as powerful as Li Xiaohe. This person has been deeply involved in the family business. The Li family has such a reputation in Causeway Bay. Most of it is due to him, so his ability is naturally not weak.

Therefore, He Jiahao is a little worried about the competition between Li Jia and Shao Yifu for control of Wireless. In his previous life, Shao Yifu naturally won. However, Hutchison Group is the major shareholder of Wireless and holds the weight of tilting the balance, and must consider the interests of Hutchison Group.

Ho Jiahao believes that Shao Yifu and the Lee family will come to their door soon. After all, TVB's monopoly on TV programs in Hong Kong is a big fat piece of meat. If TVB hadn't had multiple forces and restrictions from the Hong Kong government, he wouldn't have let it go. , moved to rebuild Asia Television.

Instead of getting the Li family and Shao Yifu, an unexpected guest came.

"What kind of wind brought Chen Sheng here?" He Jiahao greeted him with a smile.

The visitor also smiled and said, "I'm here to disturb He Sheng. Xiangjiang is really a geomantic treasure. He Sheng has made billions of wealth at the age of 22, which really makes me, an old man, ashamed."

The visitor is Chen Detai from Dachang Real Estate Co., Ltd., and standing next to him is his son Chen Bin.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I'm just very lucky. I don't deserve your praise." He Jiahao said modestly. He felt that what brought Chen Detai and his son to visit would not be a trivial matter, but probably a good thing.

The two chatted for a moment, and Chen Detai turned to the topic, "He Sheng, I came here this time to cooperate with Huamei Real Estate Company."

Seeing that Chen Detai's face was sickly red, He Jiahao lowered his guard a lot and said with a smile, "Thank you Mr. Chen for being interested in Huamei Real Estate. I wonder what kind of business it is?"

In his previous life, Chen Detai passed away in 1981, and his son Chen Bin became the chairman of the company and took over the family business. However, although Chen Bin graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, his style remained conservative, and Dachang Real Estate ultimately lost its last opportunity for development.

"Dachang Real Estate has a lot of land in Shatin District, and we would like to invite He Sheng to develop it together." Chen Detai said.

He Jiahao thought for a moment, "Dachang Real Estate should not be short of development funds, why should we introduce capital? I have no other meaning, just a casual question."

This is completely giving away money. Dachang Real Estate is also a leader among medium-sized real estate companies and holds a large number of company stocks. As long as it is released a little bit, the start-up funds will be there, and there is no need for joint development.

"Well, to be honest, my health is failing. He Sheng is a real estate tycoon. I hope He Sheng can help a bunch of dogs in the future." Chen Detai said with a somewhat resigned look.

Chen Bin is 37 years old, 15 years older than He Jiahao, and he actually wants He Jiahao to take care of Chen Bin? !

This is a favor for Chen Bin to get from He Jiahao.

Originally, Ho had planned to wait until Chen Detai passed away to launch the acquisition of Dachang Real Estate. Even if he could not acquire Dachang Real Estate, he could still scrape some skin, and the 35% stake in the Sheraton Hotel he held was quite attractive.

If you don't agree, it's like not wanting money from others, like telling Chen Detai that I want more. Then Chen Detai will make preparations before his death. By then, He Jiahao will have a bad reputation and will not get the benefits he wants.

"Chen Sheng is joking, who doesn't know that little Chen Sheng is a top student at MIT, and he is more than capable of managing Dachang Real Estate Company for you." He Jiahao continued, "I have another business that I want Chen Sheng to cooperate with. "

Chen Detai smiled and said, "Please tell me, He Sheng."

"I wonder if the 20% interest in Leighton Center held by Dah Chong Properties can be transferred to me?"

At this time, Chen Detai looked embarrassed and said, "He Sheng, I need to ask the Lee family about this matter. If the Lee family won't buy it, I can transfer it to you. When the Leighton Center was built before, Dachang Real Estate, Hepu Both International and Hysan Industrial have relevant agreements."

Ho nodded, "I know about this. The 20% equity interest in Leighton Center held by Hutchison Group has been repurchased to Hysan Holdings."

"Then I will reply to He Sheng later."

"I will send someone to Dachang Real Estate Company to sign the contract regarding the joint development of the Shatian land," He Jiahao said.

He wanted to take advantage of the distraction of the death of an important figure in the Lee family to obtain 20% of the Leighton Center, so that he could exchange some good things with the Lee family in the future.

Shatin City One is still under construction. In the previous life, people started to join in April and May of 1981, and there was still almost a year to catch up.

He Jiahao discussed the profit distribution issue with Chen Detai and his son again, and left after lunch.

A large shopping mall has been built on the land near Fanling MTR station that Huamei Real Estate bought from the auction. It has now been topped out and is expected to be available for leasing in the second half of the year.

Ho Ka-ho came to Fanling for inspection, followed by more than a dozen senior staff.

"Boss, the shopping mall is about to undergo exterior decoration. We will try to complete it in July and start leasing in August." Chen Yong said.

Ho Ka-ho looked at the nearby environment and said with concern, "Fanling has just been classified as a new town. Although the MTR Corporation has started to build a subway station, development will still take a long time. It may not be easy to rent."

"It will indeed be a bit difficult. We have already begun to contact some brands. The brand owners have not agreed to enter Fanling Center for the time being, but only claimed that they would consider it. However, some small brands and restaurants have agreed and signed contracts."

"If the big brands are unwilling to move in, we will find more small brands to collect funds as soon as possible." Ho Ka-ho said, "Also, we need to acquire that piece of land. We can build large housing estates there, or we can revitalize the Fanling Central shopping mall. .”

"Yes!" Chen Yong pointed to the land in the opposite direction and said, "The Hong Kong government is planning to build primary schools, hospitals, courts and other institutional buildings there. We also want to buy the industrial land there and build a large industrial zone. , the profits will be huge.”

"If we win it as soon as possible, we can pay a higher premium. Once a large number of real estate developers come in, we will have to pay a higher price."

"Don't worry, boss. We have started negotiations with the villagers and have now acquired more than 40,000 square feet of land. The average price is 300 yuan per square foot, which is very cheap."

Hearing Chen Yong's answer, He Jiahao felt relieved. Although it would take a long time for Fanling Central Mall to recover its capital, if the surrounding area develops and there are many villagers nearby, sales will not be a problem, and he can make money first in the residential sector. One stroke.

So, under the leadership of the construction staff, we visited the interior of the shopping mall and other places, and discussed some plans with the senior management. When we returned to Causeway Bay, it was already after five o'clock.

Secretary Wu Shan came in and told He Jiahao: Shao Yifu from Shaw Brothers Pictures wanted to make an appointment with him to meet at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Wednesday.

He Jiahao nodded in agreement. He naturally knew what Shao Yifu wanted to do with him. It was nothing more than the issue of control of TVB.

But it depends on Roshi or him, who gives the greater benefit.
