Rise up Hong Kong!Build a super wealthy Zhuang family

Chapter 115 The foundation of Shengshi Building was laid, and tycoons gathered to congratulate

next morning.

Plot 2, Queen's Road, Central.

It was around 7 o'clock in the morning, and the open space and a not-so-high building were covered with red cloth.

The day when the foundation stone of (Shengshi Building) was laid.

Pieces of red cloth were hung horizontally, construction machines were being prepared, and successful people from various fields appeared on the scene.

As the host, Qimeng Lina, who is currently the general manager of Hutchison Whampoa Group, and all the management of Hutchison are on hand to entertain the guests.

The foundation laying of the Xiangjiang project is also a very important ceremony. This is also a century-old traditional culture. No matter which company it is, it will hold such a ceremony when the project is completed and invite people from all fields to participate in this event.

"General Manager Meng Lina, congratulations on the completion of Hutchison Group's new building and wish you all the best."

When she heard someone greeting her, Que Qi quickly turned her head to look, but she didn't recognize the person.

At this time, the assistant beside her gently told her in her ear who the visitor was.

"Oh! It turns out to be Lin Sheng, thank you for coming." Que Qi greeted the visitor politely.

The person greeting Que Qi now is Lin Baixin, the famous tycoon of Lai Sun Group in Hong Kong.Today, a lot of tycoons came to the Hutchison Whampoa foundation laying site. At a glance, they were all wealthy people.

Many of these people come uninvited.

In fact, Que Qi knew that they didn't really come to congratulate him, but they all had other purposes.

Some time ago, Hutchison Whampoa announced that after the integration of Hutchison Whampoa is completed, it will openly recruit new shareholders. As soon as this news came out, the entire Hong Kong wealthy were moved.

In fact, many people want to own Hutchison Matheson. In fact, if there was someone's plan when Hutchison Whampoa's stock plummeted in 73-74, then Hutchison could definitely be owned at that time.

It's just that at that time, Hong Kong was in a state of financial turmoil, oil crisis, and global financial crisis. Many people were too busy to take care of themselves and did not dare to take more money to gamble at this time.

Later, HSBC spent more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire 30% of Hutchison's shares. From then on, Hutchison became HSBC's property, and others lost this opportunity.

Until now, only Zhuang Rongxu, who knew the future direction, was able to plan and win Hutchison so easily.Now that Hong Kong's economy is gradually improving, Hutchison has returned to normal. After all, Hutchison is a diversified company involving all walks of life and has a deep foundation.

In addition, many Chinese or foreign investors now have some spare money on hand. Who wouldn’t want to invest in such a company with unlimited potential?

It is precisely this that led to the fact that when Hutchison Whampoa was building the foundation today, it attracted so many famous and wealthy people. The purpose of these people was almost the same, which was to make friends with Que Qi.

"Hahaha, General Manager Meng Lina is indeed as beautiful and capable as the rumors say. Today is our official first meeting." Lin Baixin laughed and got close to Que Qi.

"Yes, Lin Sheng. This is our first formal meeting. Thank you very much for attending the groundbreaking and completion of the Shengshi Group Building today." Que Qi communicated with him in a very professional manner.

"General Manager Meng Lina, you're so polite. It's an honor for me to be able to attend the foundation laying of Hutchison Building. I wonder, General Manager Meng Lina, do you have time to sit down and have a chat?" Lin Baixin asked.

Meng Lina knew what he wanted to do, and a professional smile appeared on her face: "I'm sorry, Lin Sheng, but I really don't have free time to chat today."

"Lin Sheng doesn't mind changing the date. I'll find a time to visit you." Que Qi declined politely.

"How can we get General Manager Meng Lina to visit us? In this case, when you have time, I will make an appointment with you, General Manager."

"Okay, thank you Lin Sheng for understanding."

"General Manager Meng Lina, you're welcome. If you are busy first, I won't disturb your work."

"Goodbye Lin Sheng."

Lin Baixin has been in the business world for so many years. Such polite words are easy for him, and he also knows how to look at the situation.Now seeing that Meng Lina didn't want to talk to him, he wisely didn't continue the conversation.

And Que Qi had just taken a few steps...

"Hello, General Manager Meng Lina."

Que Qi looked in the direction where the sound came from, and when he saw the person coming, he immediately smiled.

"Hello Li Sheng."

The person who came was none other than Li Chaoren, and Que Qi also acted very naturally when she saw him coming.

There is no prejudice because of the discord that arose when they were fighting and remembering.

"Congratulations to Hutchison Whampoa for entering another stage of development. I would like to wish the successful completion of Shengshi Tower and the prosperity of Hutchison Group."

"I am very grateful to Li Sheng for his blessing, and I am also grateful to Li Sheng for coming to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony of Shengshi Building today." Que Qi took the initiative to reach out and shake Li Chaoren's hand.

"Hahaha, General Manager Meng Lina, you're too polite. I didn't know you had time..."

"Hey! Long time no see, Meng Lina."

Before Li Chaoren could finish speaking, a voice came from not far away and greeted Que Qi.

Que Qi turned to look at the person coming: "Hello, Brett, I'm very glad you can come."

The person who came was the person in charge of Huaqi Bank's branch in Xiangjiang. Zhuang Rongxu had been on good terms with him before when he got a loan from Huaqi Bank, and even his Hutchison Bank was only able to get it with his cooperation.

Zhuang Rongxu is now the highest-level VIP at the Xiangjiang branch of Huaqi Bank. He is also a gold card VIP at the Huaqi headquarters, which is a very high level.

The personal relationship between Zhuang Rongxu and Brett is also very good. The two have always had common topics.Coupled with their cooperative relationship, it is quite normal for Brett to appear at the scene in person.

"Today is the foundation laying of Shengshi Building. How could I not come over? Say hello to Mr. John for me."

"Brett..." Meng Lina reminded Brett with her eyes.

Brett seemed to realize something, and looked around unnaturally. When he saw Li Chaoren, he smiled awkwardly.

"Oh! Meng Lina, where is your husband, Mr. John? I miss him." Brett finished the sentence quickly.

In fact, the two of them did this on purpose. This was also Zhuang Rongxu's plan. They deliberately created a non-existent person to make others mistakenly think that the boss behind Hutchison Whampoa was named John.

Zhuang Rongxu also achieved his goal. Li Chaoren watched the entire conversation between Que Qi and Brett, and they began to communicate naturally.It wasn't until Brett, the general manager of Huaqi Bank, said his name later that the communication between the two of them became very unnatural.

Li Chaoren, an old fox, could tell at a glance that Brett's last words were just to finish the previous ones.

Li Chaoren was also smart but was fooled by his cleverness. He was deceived by the drama played by Que Qi and Brett.

"I'm sorry, Li Sheng. I have something to discuss with Mr. Brett, so I'm sorry." Que Qi looked at Li Chaoren and said.

"It doesn't matter. Meng Lina is the general manager, so you can do your business first." Li Chaoren responded.

Queqi and Brett then left together.

Li Chaoren, on the other hand, was thinking deeply on the spot, looking at Que Qi's back with a faint smile on his face: "John? Which John is it?"

Now Li Chaoren is very sure that the person who acquired Hutchison Whampoa Group is a foreign businessman, but he is not sure where the foreign businessman comes from.

At this time, two luxury cars came outside the construction site, and many people on the scene looked at the approaching car.

"Haha, this brat is here too. Could it be that he also has Hutchison's plans?"

"Who doesn't want to fight about Hutchison Whampoa now? Since it was acquired by a mysterious businessman, there have been more and more rumors about Hutchison Whampoa. It is relying on various versions of rumors that Hutchison has great potential. Who doesn't want it?" "Yes. Ah, Uncle Li’s words make sense. In addition, Hutchison has openly and openly announced the public recruitment of shareholders. This will definitely cause the richest people in Hong Kong to compete for it, making its value even higher."

"Let's go and find out what that kid is thinking. To be honest, this kid must have a lot of cash in his hands now. If he is interested, it would be good to form an alliance with him." Sun Hung Kai's Tycoon Kwok said with a smile, At this time, Guo Daheng was 70 years old. Compared with other people of the same age, he looked very old.

In another ten years, this tycoon will pass away. Compared with other rich people who generally live to be 90 years old, it is indeed a pity that Tycoon Guo will pass away at the age of 80. Otherwise, with his ability, if he lives for another ten years, maybe Hong Kong will be better. There are five wealthy families.

"Hahaha, let's explore this guy's background. Don't look at his modesty and politeness, but he is very thoughtful." Huo Dongdong also said with a smile at this time.

Since the incident with Fu Yinke last time, Huo Dongdong has learned that Zhuang Rongxu is not that simple. He is decisive and determined. He believes that such a person is definitely not simple, so he said what he is doing now. The remarks.

"Hey, uncles, you are here too."

"Why, if you can come, can't we come?" Huo Dongdong responded to him jokingly.

"Uncle Huo, what you said makes sense..."

"Xiao Zhuangsheng, are you here for Hutchison Whampoa's recruitment of shareholders?" Chen Zengxi from Hang Lung Group asked with a smile.

"No, no, no, Chen Sheng, you misunderstood. I just came here to see what the groundbreaking ceremony is like. When I have a project laying the foundation in the future, I will know what to do, right?" Zhuang Rongxu responded to their questions with a faint smile. .

"Xiao Zhuang, are you really not planning to participate in Hutchison Whampoa's recruitment of new shareholders?" Huo Dongdong asked him curiously.

"It's not that I'm not interested, it's that I don't have the money."

"Let's go, uncles and nephews, why don't I meet him? I heard that the person in charge of Hutchison Whampoa is very beautiful, right? I really want to get to know him." Zhuang Rongxu pretended to be very frivolous.

"Hehehe, you brat."

"Let's go, it should be about time to start. Let's see if the person behind Hutchison will show up on today's occasion." Fourth Uncle Li said in a deep voice.

Just as Zhuang Rongxu and the others were about to leave, another car came outside. After everyone saw the license plate, they all smiled bitterly: "Why is Brother Bao here too? Is he also interested in Hutchison?" Guo Desheng said in a low voice.

"Probably not. If he was interested in Hutchison, based on his relationship with HSBC, if he had thought about it at the beginning, Hutchison would have been his property."

"Uncle Li is right, Lao Bao probably just came to join in the fun."

"Let's go, let's go in together with Lao Bao."

"Okay, let's go."

Everyone walked over to Bao Yugang's car together.

"Haha, you guys are here so early." Bao Yugang looked at Zhuang Rongxu and the others with a smile.

"It's not too late for you. Let's go. The groundbreaking ceremony has almost started. Let's go in and talk."

"Let's go, I came here to see if the person behind Hutchison would show up." Bao Yugang stated the purpose of his visit very directly.

After a while, they arrived at the groundbreaking ceremony. When they saw familiar faces, they looked at each other and smiled.

But the smile he showed was very helpless.

"Judging from this situation, Hutchison's public recruitment of new shareholders is a strategy rather than a helpless move. However, this strategy has been very successful."

"Yes, judging from the lineup today, if you want to become a shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, you will definitely have to go through a battle between dragon and tiger."

"In this situation, Hutchison Whampoa will definitely improve financing conditions. It is not easy to become a shareholder."

Several people had already guessed what would happen after Hutchison Whampoa started its IPO from the sight of people coming to the scene.

As time passed slowly, it soon came to 8 o'clock in the morning.

"Here they come, Hutchison's people are here."

At this time, Queqi led all the company's management and representatives sent by the Hong Kong government, as well as Brett, the general manager of Huaqi Bank, and others, and walked onto the temporary stage.

Their appearance also made everyone at the scene turn their attention to them.Many people came to the scene today just to find out more about the people behind Hutchison and to see if the boss behind Hutchison would come today.

"There don't seem to be any new faces. It seems that the boss behind Hutchison still hasn't shown up."

"Which group is so mysterious? I always feel that the boss behind Hutchison has bad intentions." Uncle Li said in a calm voice.

"It's true that the people here are evil. Have you understood Hutchison's reorganized industry?" Huo Dongdong responded.

"Brother Huo, do you understand?"

After several people heard Huo Dongdong's words, they all looked at him, waiting for his response.

"Know something."

“After the reorganization, Hutchison cut off all the agency projects. Even the shipyards were split and sold. The wharfs and warehouses on the Huangpu Shipyard were also rented out for short-term, and none of them were contracted out. There are also many scattered industries. Don’t want them all.”

"Currently, the only industries left are real estate and construction, hotels and restaurants, financial investment, petroleum, department store retail, telephone companies, aviation and other industries."

"By the way, I heard that Hutchison has recently been involved in film and television media, but I haven't seen any big moves yet."

"Look, these industries left by Hutchison are the core, and no others are needed. I believe everyone understands what this means, right?"

"Brother Huo, do you mean that Hutchison will take off its heavy burdens, travel lightly, and go all out to develop these industries?" asked Hang Lung's Chen Zengxi.

"Yes, with the foundation left by Hutchison Whampoa, if we go into battle lightly and go all out to develop these industries, we will definitely develop rapidly."

"Hutchison owns the largest amount of land in Hong Kong. In recent years, the real estate industry in Xiangjiang has been gradually improving. If Hutchison fully develops these lands, it will probably be enough for them to achieve great results."

Everyone nodded at the same time after hearing this. Everyone in their current group is in the real estate industry, and they are also very optimistic about the future development of Xiangjiang Real Estate. Of course, they also thought that if Hutchison could develop all the land by themselves, it would indeed scary.

"Also, have you noticed that Hutchison Whampoa is building three projects at the same time in Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui, and Causeway Bay?" Huo Dongdong said again.

"I didn't pay attention to this. What project is it?" Zheng Yutong, who has rarely spoken, asked curiously.

"I know this. I've also asked about it. It seems to be building a new type of department store."

"A new department store?" Bao Yugang asked somewhat confused.

He had just come aboard to take over the Wharf Company and started to get involved in industry, so he still didn't understand many things clearly.

"I don't know either, but since Hutchison attaches so much importance to these projects, they must be key projects." Huo Dongdong told these people everything he knew.

After all, he is the president of the Hong Kong Chinese Capital Chamber of Commerce, so sometimes he has the responsibility to help them develop their company.

So Huo Dongdong has nothing to hide.

While they were discussing, Que Qi also started her speech on the stage.

Huo Dongdong and the others also stopped their discussion and listened carefully to Que Qi's speech on the stage.

They all want to know what the new person in charge of Hutchison Whampoa will say, or maybe they themselves have other ideas to catch up with Que Qi.

After all, who is the boss behind Hutchison Whampoa is the same to them, and it is an unchangeable fact. Now they are thinking about what they can do to become one of the shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa.
