2144 [Profound Influence]
Just when Chen Yixin and Liu Luanxiong accepted Henderson Land, another wave of troops from Tianxia Real Estate also went to take over the orders of Xia Tian to accept two companies, New World Real Estate and Zhou Taifu Jewelry.
It is worth mentioning that both New World Real Estate and Zhou Taifu Jewelry have different businesses. For example, in addition to being involved in real estate, New World Real Estate also has hotels, tunnels, highways, docks, etc. In addition to operating gold bars, jewelry, and diamonds, Zhou Taifu Jewelry also owns 42% of the equity of Macau Water Conservancy Company and 20% of the equity of Macau Power Company.
Xia Tian has now become the largest shareholder of New World Real Estate and Zhou Taifu Jewelry, and these high-quality assets have naturally become his pocket.
The successive acquisition of Henderson Land and New World Group has further enhanced Xiatian's strength. Not to mention other things, the land reserves of the two real estate companies alone are as high as 1.2 million square feet, which is enough for Xiatian's development in the next five years.
After this news came out, it caused a sensation in Hong Kong.
No one expected that the two wealthy people in Hong Kong who were once prominent were now defeated by Xia Tian, and even his full wealth was easily taken away by him. It was incredible to tell him about it.
"The top ten richest people in Hong Kong are now only six!"
"Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji, Chen Zengtao, Shao Yifu, Hu Yingxiang, Chen Tinghua... These rich men all fell into Xia Tian's hands. He is simply a rich killer!"
"This is really the old wave of the Yangtze River pushes the old wave, and a new generation beats the old ones! Who would have thought that the top ten richest men who were so mighty a few months ago have now become like this!"
Hong Kong people sighed.
The top ten richest people, Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang, Guo Desheng, Jia Daoli, Li Zhaoji, Zheng Yutong, etc., are all famous figures who have been famous for more than ten years. They have been famous in Xiangjiang for more than ten years. They have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. They are regarded as a symbol of wealth and a representative of wealthy families.
I don’t know how many people take them as examples, and I don’t know how many people want to marry into their family, but now, the two wealthy families have fallen from the altar and fallen into dust.
The other companies were in danger and survived. While shocking the Hong Kong people, they also became more and more admiring Xia Tian, who defeated these wealthy companies.
"After just a few years, he not only built his family from scratch, but also became the richest man in Hong Kong, but also brought so many rich man down. It's really awesome young man!"
"Xia Tian has now won two major companies, Henderson Land and New World Group, and has also invested in the other three major companies. Now his net worth is probably more than 200 billion Hong Kong dollars! With such achievements as he achieved in his late crown, Xia Tian can be regarded as the number one person in Hong Kong."
"Some days ago, major newspapers were still saying that they lost more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars in investment in Fusang Real Estate in summer. Now the truth has finally come out. It was not him who lost the investment, but Li Zhaoji and others. I wonder if the media will have a pain in their faces when they see this news!"
The Hong Kong people exclaimed again.
They are just fighting against the common people. The disputes in the upper class have nothing to do with them. They are just spectators and are just fun to watch.
...
But for Lee Zhaoji and Zheng Yutong’s personal victims, this incident is a deep shame for them!
"I have long suspected that the investment bank was too coincidental. It turns out that it was Xia Tian's instructions behind it!" Li Jiacheng frowned.
Xia Tian's strength is already comparable to their HSBC group. Now he has acquired Henderson Land Development and New World Development, which has further enhanced his strength.
On the other hand, the HSBC team lost two major companies and its strength declined greatly. As one goes up and down, they are no match for summer. In the future, it is unlikely that it will be difficult to compete with them in business competition.
"Yes, I had doubts at that time, but unfortunately I didn't take much attention, so that his conspiracy succeeded. It was really hateful!" Bao Yugang also said hatefully.
Hearing what he said, Jia Daoli and others who had previously guaranteed the investment bank for Worthy were so excited that they were embarrassed.
"Okay, it's useless to fire these hindsmen now." Seeing this, Pu Weishi hurriedly waved his hand and changed the subject.
At the beginning, in order to complete the transaction faster and recover funds, he also provided security for the Youta Investment Bank. Now, when he heard Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang say this, he felt guilty.
"Fortunately, I have paid off my loan and smoothed out the accounts. This is a happy event." Pu Weishiqiang smiled, "Don't be too sad for you guys. With my help, it will not be difficult for you to make a comeback."
"We need to have the capital to make a comeback. Now we only have tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars left, which is enough for anything." Li Zhaoji and Zheng Yutong said helplessly.
Both of them sold all the stocks in their hands, sold all the real estate in Fusang, and even the oil wells in the Middle East. Finally, they made up for the deficit caused by investing in Fusang Real Estate.
But they still owe HSBC's loan to invest in Middle East Petroleum. The total loan is 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, and they have to pay a large amount of interest every month. The tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars left now are enough to pay a period of interest, which means that they still have nothing left and only have a lot of debt left.
"Don't worry, since I promised to help you, I won't go back on my word. After these checkers left, I will give you a mortgage loan." Pu Weishi smiled slightly and said, "You will make a comeback by then, and there will be no problem at all."
"Thank you Mr. Pu Weishi." Li Zhaoji and Zheng Yutong said happily when they heard this, "Then when will they leave?"
"It's soon, just in these few days." Pu Weishi smiled.
Hearing that he said, everyone nodded.
...
After the news of the abolition of Henderson Land Development in the summer and the acquisition of stakes in Jardine Map, Swire and Xinhongji, it also caused a great response in the upper class of Hong Kong.
Although the upper class in Hong Kong is complex and has a combination of mud and sand, it is generally divided into two groups. One group tends to the mainland and the other tends to the UK.
The representative figure who tends to the mainland is Huo Yingdong. He made a fortune by smuggling oil from the mainland in the 1950s and became famous. Since then, he has been in constant contact with the mainland. In the early 1970s, he returned to the mainland to invest and built the White Swan Hotel, the first five-star hotel in the mainland.
The representative figure who tends toward Britain is the HSBC rich, who are willing to accept British rule and resist mainland unity. In the mid-1980s, they sent delegations to negotiate with the mainland, wanting to buy Hong Kong for tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, but they were naturally rejected by the mainland.
In terms of strength, the ones that were originally inclined to the mainland are not as good as those who were inclined to the UK. For example, Huo Yingdong's voice in Hong Kong was repeatedly suppressed by the Hong Kong government because of his inclination to the mainland in his early years. The built commercial building did not allow water and electricity or telephone calls, so he could only sell it to British companies at a discount, and almost didn't even take back the capital.
Therefore, in order to avoid being suppressed, most of the upper class in Hong Kong prefer the UK. For example, many people are proud of being commended by the Queen of England, and donated a lot of money to the Hong Kong government and the British government for this purpose.
