The rise of Hong Kong's wealthy families

Deep Water Bay Cheng Family Mansion

Zheng Yutong and his son were sitting on the sofa in the living room, the atmosphere was a bit dull, and they seemed to be talking about something important.

"I know Ah Hao a little bit. He seems to have a bad temper, but he is actually very thoughtful. Even if he attacks Huang Tingfan and Li Mingze, he will not suffer any loss. It can be seen that he lost his temper after finding a flaw. Now he is dealing with Land Company, he said it’s 5 billion, it’s very likely it’s more than that.”

When Cheng Ka-choon and Ho Ka-ho played together, they had speculations about Ho Ka-ho's way of doing things and his personality. "I don't know how long the current market situation will last. If 1.5 billion can win one or two buildings of Hongkong Land Company in Central, it will be good for him." It is a good thing for the development of New World, and Chow Tai Fook also has a fund on its account."

Zheng Yutong was silent. What he was worried about was not the 1.5 billion, but the subsequent funds. After all, the world is still dominated by the British. Will HSBC take action? He Jiahao had taken control of Shen Bi at the beginning. In addition, Jardine Matheson Company's industries were spread all over the world. If he resisted, he would only be able to make a profit and exit.

There is no huge benefit in such an offending thing, and Zheng Yutong feels it is very uneconomical.

Zheng Jiacheng on the side shook his red wine glass, then took a sip and said lightly, "He may want us to help him share some of the pressure."

The pressure here is naturally not financial, but refers to the balance between ‘market and government’.

Zheng Yutong took a deep look at his younger son. If it weren't for his personality problems, he would have considered the two brothers to take charge of New World Development and Chow Tai Fook Group. Although the eldest son is not bad, he is just a heir to defend the city.

"He Jiahao should have already taken action against Land Company, and he may also take action against Jardine Matheson Company at the same time." Zheng Yutong said.

"The mutual control of Jardine Land is indeed very troublesome. If there is a huge amount of funds to attack the two companies, it will not be difficult." Zheng Jiachun suddenly realized that He Jiahao was too courageous and dared to attack the two companies.

"In that case, it would be good to talk to Ah Hao in a few days. We can get a Central building." Zheng Yutong immediately made a conclusion.

Zheng Jiachun nodded excitedly. As for Zheng Jiacheng, he was still shaking the red wine glass and showed no reaction.

Monday, October 24

A motorcade stopped in front of a building at the intersection of Peak Road and Barker Road, and the bodyguard carefully opened the door.

Walking out from inside were He Jiahao, Luo Qiqi, Chen Yulian and He Muhan who was being held.

He Muhan's temperament is not as dull as Chen Yulian's. Instead, he is very lively and active. When he saw a strange place, he clamored to play, so He Jiahao asked two bodyguards to take her to play, but she could not leave the door of the villa.

"This is No. 1 Barker Road! Barker Road is 1.7 kilometers long in total. People who live here are either rich or noble people." He Jiahao said to Luo Qiqi and Chen Yulian.

This is the villa where Luo Qiqi will live in the future. Since Chen Yulian has a very good relationship with her, Luo Qiqi invites Chen Yulian to come and visit it so that they can move around in the future. He Jiahao is naturally happy to see it happen.

“No. 1 Barker Road covers an area of ​​9,000 square feet. Although it is smaller than Deep Water Bay Villa, its location is more advantageous. Its entire building complex is located on this large podium and consists of one high and one low building. ."

He Jiahao took the two people into the car passage and continued to introduce, "This is the security room and the place where the personnel live."

This villa has a gymnasium, swimming pool, garden, and lawn. The tall building is a three-story building, which is very modern and has a glass curtain wall.

After visiting around, Luo Qiqi was very active and asked, "What is the price of this villa?"

He Jiahao smiled and said, "13 million!"

"It's quite cheap!" Chen Yulian murmured. Although it was more expensive than the Deep Water Bay villa, it was relatively narrow. She still preferred a wider villa.

In fact, No. 1 Barker Road is also a temporary residence. Luo Qiqi's family is to live in Repulse Bay, but the Repulse Bay villa will need two years to be rebuilt.

"Is now the time to buy a villa?" Luo Qiqi was thinking about doing bargain hunting.

This woman has a keen sense of business. Compared with her, Chen Yulian is a scumbag.

He Jiahao smiled and said, "Do you want to buy it with a loan?"

However, Haoxin Real Estate doesn't have much funds. If you buy the villa with full payment, you can't buy a few villas. It can only provide 20% of the down payment and other loans can be taken care of.

Luo Qiqi nodded. Luxury villas are very profitable, even comparable to the investment in an entire commercial building. It is an opportunity for Haoxin Real Estate to take off.

"Now is not the time. If you take a loan now, regardless of whether you can get it, the interest will be enough for you to lose a lot of money." He Jiahao chuckled, "Let's start in the second half of next year. Villas and mansions are a good investment direction. ."

"Luotu Clothing Company has some money, probably more than 30 million, that can be used for investment." Chen Yulian suddenly interjected.

"Sister Yulian, Luotu Clothing can cooperate with Haoxin Real Estate." Luo Qiqi tried her best to fool Chen Yulian.

He Jiahao felt strange, as if he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

A few days later, Zheng Yutong and his son visited He Jiahao, and He Jiahao met them at Manulife Development Company.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time for Uncle Tong to come to Manulife Development." He Jiahao said with a smile.

They usually discuss things in clubs, hotels or golf courses, and rarely discuss cooperation in the office.

"Haha! Yes, I don't like talking about things in the office. The outside environment is conducive to thinking." Zheng Yutong said while leaning on the sofa, with a sharp light in his eyes.

"Your office decoration is too simple, simpler than other companies." Zheng Jiachun looked around and commented.

He Jiahao nodded and said with a smile, "I like simple style. No matter how luxurious the decoration is, it's nothing compared to fame."

Zheng Yutong and his son nodded in agreement. Luxurious decoration can only deceive small businessmen. They only believe in the true strength of their partners.

"We have decided to participate in the acquisition. We are going to invest 1.5 billion in cash. There should be room for it, right?" Zheng Yutong asked with a smile, thinking about it for a long time.

"Of course, how does Uncle Tong want to distribute it?" He Jiahao said.

"Landmark Prince's Building!"

An investment of 1.5 billion, accounting for 25%, is not excessive at all as long as one Landmark Prince Building.

However, He Jiahao feels that Zheng Yutong has more to come.

"anything else?"

"If the acquisition requires additional funds, New World Development will not increase the amount and will only invest 1.5 billion." Zheng Yutong said seriously.

He Jiahao nodded. Zheng Yutong didn't want to take too many risks. He understood, "Okay, then we will form a new company and the new company will be responsible for the acquisition."

"Yeah!" Zheng Yutong knew that He Jiahao would agree, so he asked again, "Ah Hao, can you reveal the actual amount of money you want to invest?"

He Jiahao looked embarrassed, but finally said, "8 billion, maybe."

He still retained some of it.

"Eight billion?! It seems like your company can't afford that much money, right?" Zheng Jiachun became a little excited.

"Ah Chun, calm down!" Zheng Yutong was also shocked, but didn't show much.

"I'm sorry, I'm too excited." Zheng Jiachun also knew that he had lost his composure.

"This is a private investment of mine in the United States. It has no connection with its listed companies." He Jiahao waved his hand and didn't care at all.
