The rise of Hong Kong's wealthy families

Mid to late March

After several days of turmoil in the Land Company, Ho Ka-ho has approved the resignation of 27 senior employees. At the same time, Shen Dingqian has been appointed as the CEO of Land Company, responsible for the daily management of the company. With the assistance of several companies under Manulife Development Company, he has taken control of the finance department, administration Four important departments including the Ministry of Finance, and personnel transferred from other companies also occupy the positions of resigned senior personnel.

Although the company's operations are somewhat chaotic, He Jiahao does not want to condone the behavior of those people instigated by Jardine Matheson that threatens the company. If it is solved now, it will save the chance of doing it again in the future.

Of course, there are many people who see the situation clearly and come to He Jiahao's side. He Jiahao is not stingy either. He will get promotions for those who deserve promotions and raises for those who cannot. Anyway, wages in the entire Xiangjiang are about to rise. He Jiahao is just a little ahead of schedule. .

Immediately, the entire real estate company knew that there was no future in following Jardine Matheson Company. After all, Jardine Matheson Company could not arrange too many people and just painted a pie for them. Unlike real estate companies, which directly arranged positions or gave money, Therefore, under the bombardment of He Jiahao's money, the employees are very motivated.

Land company senior management meeting

This is a huge conference room that can accommodate more than 100 people.

He Jiahao sat in the chairman's seat, looked around, and said, "There are many people here who don't know me. Let me introduce myself first. I am He Jiahao, the one with a lot of money."

The opening remarks are very different. Now He Jiahao no longer likes to give people pie, but likes to use money to impress his subordinates.

All migrant workers do it for money, and no one is willing to work without money.

The words mentioned the acquisition case some time ago and the reorganization of the company's personnel structure. Just when they were about to fall asleep, He Jiahao directly said, "The entire company will receive a 20% salary increase," which attracted thunderous applause from the entire meeting. .

However, he also aggravated the company's liability issues, and if something went wrong, it would be dealt with sternly.

After the meeting, He Jiahao talked with 13 foreign senior employees one by one and persuaded them to stay in Land and work hard. Of course, he also gave them some material things. Among them, 3 senior executives chose to leave after two months.

From that day on, the order of the Land Company was quickly restored. Ho Ka-ho reorganized the debt problem of the Land Company, including selling its Prince's Building to New World Development Company for HK$1.5 billion, while also selling 10% of the Land Company held by Taihe Investment Company. The shares were sold to New World Development Company, Manulife Development Company acquired 60% of Land Company's shares, and Taihe Investment Company also became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Manulife Development Company.

He Jiahao plans to develop Taihe Investment Company into a global investment company. All his private investments will be transferred to Taihe Investment. Now he is looking for a president of the company and building the company's skeleton.

Monday, March 19

After handling the Land Company matter, Ho turned his attention to the heavily indebted Wheelock Company. More than 13 billion in funds were consumed and 7.5 billion was still left with huge funds. Even after acquiring Wheelock Company, Manulife Development Company It also has the ability to bargain-hunt for properties in Xiangjiang, and the price is at least HK$2 billion.

At this time, Wheelock Company was heavily in debt and had begun to reduce its ships to repay debts. Wheelock Shipping Company was preparing to sell ships worth HK$560 million, reducing its debt by HK$560 million, and the head office was preparing to transfer the shipping company's HK$468 million Debt is transferred.

Even so, the debt is still as high as 1.62 billion Hong Kong dollars, so now there is news that Wheelock Shipping may be liquidated due to debt. Wheelock's shareholders are in panic all day long and want to sell their stocks, but unfortunately no one is willing Take over.

However, He Jiahao is not in a hurry to find Zhang Yuliang. Although Zhang Yuliang intends to fade out of Hong Kong, he still wants to invest part of his money in Hong Kong. Wheelock is Zhang Yuliang's best choice, so He Jiahao has to wait until Zhang Yuliang can't bear it anymore.

Even in the face of the Nanyang tycoons Khoo Teck Puat and Li Ka-shing, Ho is not afraid. The acquisition is all about cash. Now he holds 6.8% of the joint venture's Wheelock shares and 16% acquired from the stock market. It can be said that occupies a great advantage.

When he was lost in thought, the ringing phone rang, startling He Jiahao.

"Hey! What's the matter? Okay, let Liu Sheng come in." He Jiahao hung up the phone thoughtfully.

A few minutes later, Liu Luanxiong appeared in the office and greeted with a smile, "Congratulations to He Sheng for taking down the Land Company! That is a big mountain that weighs on the heads of the Chinese people in Hong Kong. Only people like He Sheng can do it. It's really A role model for Xiangjiang people!"

"Sit down!" He Jiahao said with a smile, and he felt very happy when being complimented.

"With the help of He Sheng's acquisition of Land Company and Jardine Matheson Company, I also made a small fortune." Liu Luanxiong said with a smile, "Although it is only more than 10 million, it is enough, so I would like to thank He Sheng."

This man is so good at talking. He Jiahao never hinted that Liu Luanxiong wanted to acquire the Land Company. Liu Luanxiong saw the opportunity himself, but he gave the credit to He Jiahao.

"This is Liu Sheng's ability, and it has little to do with me." He Jiahao changed the subject and said, "What is Liu Sheng doing today?"

Liu Luanxiong's expression became serious, "The Li family has had internal strife. Although it is not serious, it is enough for Li Dingchang to drink a pot. I have also taken advantage of the low price to absorb 16.7% of the shares of Hysan Industrial Company. At the same time, Li Dingchang decided to transfer the family to The conflict was transferred to Hysan Industrial Company, and I wanted to take back the operating rights of Hysan Industrial Company from the hands of professional managers.”

It has been a while since He Jiahao paid attention to the affairs of the Lee family. He did not expect Liu Luanxiong to do such a good job and almost attack Hysan Industrial Company alone.

"Does Liu Sheng want to take over Hysan Industrial Company?" He Jiahao remembered telling Liu Luanxiong how difficult it was to win over Hysan Industrial Company, but such a strongman might not listen because Liu Luanxiong believed in himself more.

Liu Luanxiong hesitated, nodded and said, "Yes, does He Sheng think there is hope?"

He Jiahao shook his head, "Liu Sheng, Hysan Industrial Company is the foundation of the Li family. When Li Mingze was alive, he would eliminate the hidden dangers of Hysan Industrial Company at the expense of the interests of the family company. The current Hysan Industrial stock price It’s not very low, and it’s enough to show that Li Mingze must have a backup plan.”

Liu Luanxiong naturally thought of this. He was just blinded by interests and overconfident.

"It's okay to take a sniper shot. If Liu Sheng wants to acquire Hysan Industrial, I can also lend you a sum of money." He Jiahao said with a slight smile. He would be happy to help with the Li family.

"He Sheng, how much can you lend me?" Liu Luanxiong suddenly became interested.

"50 million!" He Jiahao stretched out a hand.

"Can you have more? Hysan Industrial has a market value of 300 million, and the acquisition requires too much money." Liu Luanxiong licked his lips, with a trace of greed in his eyes.

"How about adding 30 million for a total of 80 million?" He Jiahao said with a smile. He couldn't figure out how Liu Luanxiong wanted to operate. After all, the Lee family holds 43% of the shares of Hysan Industrial.

But Liu Luanxiong probably wouldn't do anything he wasn't sure about.

"Okay, thank you He Sheng!"

"You're welcome. In fact, I also want to start Hysan Industrial. The Li family has been living a stable life for a while." The He family said with a sneer.

Liu Luanxiong echoed, "Offending you, He Sheng, was probably the most wrong thing Li Mingze did during his lifetime."

"Never mind them. Playing with them when you have time can be considered a way to pass the time."
