The rise of Hong Kong's wealthy families

Zhang Yuliang even cheated his own brothers, not to mention He Jiahao, an outsider who was beyond his reach, so he would definitely be cheating a lot of money.

In fact, He Jiahao's bottom line is 30%. If it exceeds 30%, Zhang Yuliang is naturally a greedy profiteer. After all, a 30% premium is already a top-notch property such as a high-end commercial building in Central.

"He Sheng is indeed very sincere. Let He Sheng give the property on Mei Dao in Banshan Mountain." Zhang Yuliang raised his glass and gestured towards He Jiahao.

He Jiahao also raised his glass in return, "Thank you Zhang Shengquan."

This trip also has another purpose, which is also the ultimate purpose.

"Nowadays, the decline of shipping is obvious. Wheelock Company has purchased many bulk ships under the chairmanship of Mr. Madden. It is really regrettable." He Jiahao pretended to talk about the topic casually.

Zhang Yuliang's expression changed slightly, but it returned to normal in just a few seconds and asked, "Is He Sheng also interested in shipping?"

He Jiahao laughed and said, "I don't know anything about shipping, but I am interested in Wheelock Company."

Now Zhang Yuliang understood what He Jiahao meant, and he was obviously asking him if he had sold Wheelock shares.

Now Zhang Yuliang and John Madden have some conflicts, but they are not irreconcilable. Zhang Yuliang will naturally not have this idea, so he said, "Although Wheelock Company has encountered some problems, I believe it will get through the difficulties. If He Sheng wants to invest in Wheelock, and I welcome it."

"Haha!! Since Zhang Sheng has invited me, let me buy some stocks as investment." He Jiahao followed Zhang Yuliang's words and now finally got the "pass" to acquire Wheelock Company's stocks.

In fact, Ho did not want to cause conflicts with Wheelock, because this would only cause a joint boycott by the two major shareholders, Zhang Yuliang and Madden, making the acquisition more difficult.

Faced with Ho Ka-Hao's attempt to get off the hook, Zhang Yuliang was still a little worried about "letting the wolf into the house". Ho Ka-Hao's reputation in Hong Kong was not very good (many hostile takeovers), but considering that he and Madden already controlled nearly half of Wheelock's shares, Ho Ka-Hao should not I'll have to work harder, so I feel a little more at ease.

After the test, He Jiahao achieved two goals and stopped chatting with Zhang Yuliang, choosing to leave.

Arriving at Hutchison Building, Huo Jianning came in to report on his work as soon as he finished processing some urgent documents.

Currently, Hutchison Group has five listed companies: Hebao, Watsons, Hutchison Real Estate, Harbor Engineering, and Hutchison Group. The listed company Junyicang Group has been divided into Huanghe Industrial Company.

Harbor Engineering has been losing money, but it is an infrastructure company. He Jiahao is reluctant to give up. Harbor Engineering will need to contribute to terminal containers in the future.

Hebao is the listed company with the broadest business scope of the Hutchison Group. It was originally formed through the merger of established foreign companies - Debao Company and Taihe Company. It mainly engages in import and export trade, commerce, machinery, construction materials and other businesses.

Hutchison Real Estate is the real estate flagship of the Hutchison Group and owns many land parcels and some properties.

Watsons is the retail flagship company of Hutchison Group. Its main businesses include retail, supermarkets, electrical appliances retail, pharmaceuticals, beverage production, etc. It is the second largest retail company in Hong Kong.

Therefore, Huo Jianning needs to stay at Hutchison and cannot take care of other companies for the time being.

"Jihe Company has purchased 35% of the shares of Heungkong Telephone Company and successfully controlled Heungkong Telephone Company. As soon as the news was released, Jardine's stock price rose a lot. If the stock prices of Jardine's Land and other companies soared, Jardine may continue to cash out. , do we need to do something?" Huo Jianning asked.

Nowadays, Jardine Matheson is engaged in acquisitions everywhere to make up for the loss of Wharf. However, it is also this kind of "high-spirited" acquisitions that leads to the subsequent difficulties of Jardine Matheson Company.

The most suitable time to start the Jardine Company was in the second half of 1983. The Jardine Company suffered serious losses and was just in time to make money.

He Jiahao shook his head and said, "Jihe Land is still powerful and has no shortage of funds. Taking rash actions will only wake up the tiger. We need to wait until Jardine is at its weakest before taking action."

Huo Jianning nodded at this. He felt that the boss had a bigger plan, which should be for Jardine Matheson's Land Company, because the boss's main focus in recent years has been on real estate, and other companies are not very important.

The Spring Festival is coming as scheduled, and He Jiahao is still the "three axes" of previous years, visiting those elders, then accompanying Chen Yulian, and now Luo Qiqi and Guan Jiahui.

Time flies so fast, and April is here in a blink of an eye.

On the day of the 6th, He Jiahao heard a piece of news: Mr. Chen Detai, the founder of Dachang Real Estate Company, passed away. Although he knew that such a thing would happen, he still felt a little heavy because he had met Chen Detai after all.

A few days later, Ho attended the memorial service of Chen Detai. Many celebrities in Hong Kong attended, including the Swire Group's Swire family, Li Mingze, and Bao Yugang.

Tuesday, April 28

Chen Bin, the new chairman of the board of directors of Dachang Real Estate Company, approached He Jiahao.

"How does Chen Sheng want me to help you?" He Jiahao asked with a frown. He owed the Chen family a favor and naturally had to pay it back. However, Chen Bin came to him but not to anyone else, which made him a little puzzled.

"I heard that He Sheng is acquainted with Luo Xurui and Wei Lisi, and they have cooperated a lot. Can we make peace?" Chen Bin said anxiously.

He Jiahao glanced at the man in his thirties and felt that Chen Bin was too naive. Even if he came forward, how could Luo Xurui and the others return empty-handed? When someone comes to the door to say something to you, it is already a courtesy before fighting.

"Sheng Chen, they want to take over the Sheraton Hotel, how can I stop it with just a few words." He Jiahao sighed and shook his head.

Dah Chong Real Estate Company holds 35% of the equity of Sheraton Hotel in Yau Tsim Mong District. It is the largest shareholder of Sheraton Hotel and controls the Sheraton Hotel. It is also one of Dah Chong Real Estate Company's most high-quality assets.

Even He Jiahao wants to acquire such a property, not to mention an ambitious person like Luo Xurui.

"Is there nothing He Sheng can do?" Chen Bin became panicked. His father had just passed away less than a month ago, and the family property was about to change hands. If this continues, the remaining family property may not be able to be maintained. .

When others see that the heirs of Dachang Real Estate are so weak, won't they swarm in and bite Dachang Real Estate?

"It's not that there is no way, but it depends on whether Chen Sheng wants to keep the family business." He Jiahao said in a deep voice. Although Chen Bin is a top student in a prestigious school, he is no match for Xiangjiang's famous acquisition experts.

"What does He Sheng mean by giving up his car to protect his commander? But it's all ancestral property. If we can't keep it, how can we deal with my father." Chen Bin still placed his hope on He Jiahao.

He Jiahao naturally saw what Chen Bin meant. He owed the Chen family true love, but he definitely did not go to the extent of "trying his best" to let him fight with Luo Xurui and Wei Lis. When Chen left, he Not an idiot.

"Sheng Chen, please think about it again. This is the best plan I can think of." He Jiahao said, "Your father has many good friends. Chen Sheng can also try to let them talk about it. Maybe Luo Xurui can't bear it." 'Humanity' will stop."

In He Jiahao's view, few people would do anything for the Chen family. How could they do their best without getting some benefits.

It's a pity that Chen Bin doesn't know much about these things and thinks that he must do his best to help the Chen family if he owes a favor.

"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with the others." Chen Bin said frustratedly.

Seeing Chen Bin's back disappearing, He Jiahao sighed, "The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade! He knew he couldn't guard it, but he insisted on guarding it."
