Hong Kong Island's New Rich Era

Chapter 102 Arrangements for Traveling to the Mainland

Today Liu Zhicheng asked Wang Xingfa to come over, both for work and for "Invincible Oriental".

Today they are discussing investment in film shooting and promotion of subsidiaries' products through product placement. Liu Zhicheng asked all his assistants to stay and listen to the voices of young people.

Except for Huo Haiqing, the technical assistant, the other three assistants stayed to participate in the discussion.

Wang Xingfa said: "In order to better promote the products of our companies, I suggest investing in a movie to promote our products."

"Well, this idea is very good. Do you have any suggestions on the subject matter?" Liu Zhicheng nodded.

"Mr. Liu, I suggest racing content with exciting music. Aren't our main products motorcycles, Walkmans, and arcade machines?"

Liu Zhicheng nodded and asked several assistants: "Can you all tell me?"

The assistants looked at each other. It was difficult not to answer the boss's question. Lina said, "Boss, I suggest filming motorcycle boys. Young people like both racing and music."

The other two people also expressed their opinions, which were roughly the same.

"Well, Xingfa, then you go find someone to write the script. The theme should be motorcycles, music, and youth. As for the heroine, I suggest you ask Taiwanese Lin Qingxia to play the role so that we can promote our product in Taiwan." Liu Zhicheng instructed.

"Okay, Mr. Liu, I'll arrange it right away."

Lina had seen Lin Qingxia before, and she was indeed beautiful. She smiled and said, "Boss, this kind of movie requires a lot of investment. It takes at least half a year to shoot, and you have to shoot one every year to have a big hit."

Liu Zhicheng suddenly realized that Sun Lina was a talented person who understood his heart. He smiled and said, "This is a good suggestion. You will be in charge of the filming."

"Boss, don't worry. There will be no mistakes." Lina also understood and said.

After Wang Xingfa and the others left, Liu Zhicheng began to think that it would sound nice if he called him "Brother Cheng". Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile foolishly.

Liu Zhicheng took out the asset report of Shanfeng Investment when he had nothing to do. This was a strategic investment company, and all its assets were shares held privately by Liu Zhicheng.

Among them, the company with the largest shareholding is Whampoa Group, in which he has absolute control, with a stake of 67.9%.

That year he acquired the Whampoa Group and reorganized its assets, and relisted the company in the same year. The share price on the day of resumption was HK$15.4, and the total market value was HK$5.79 million.

After nearly two years of development, Whampoa Group's share price has nearly tripled to HK$42.7 per share, and its total market value has reached HK$16.18 billion.

In the context of the stock and land tug-of-war in Hong Kong, this increase can only be considered average, and may be dragged down by the Whampoa City project.

In the Hong Kong Sihui trading market, the company with the most amazing growth is the Changjiang Company. When it was first listed, it had only 1.26 million. In the past six years, it has been continuously expanding its shares and acquiring companies. Its current market value has risen to 21.45 billion Hong Kong dollars, an increase of nearly times.

In the previous life, by 1981, with the help of Hutchison Whampoa, the stock price surged to HK$78.77 billion, becoming the second largest real estate company after Hong Kong Land Development.

However, without Hutchison Whampoa, Li Chaoren would not be able to achieve such a scale in this life.

Throughout last year, Huangpu Group only carried out small-scale mergers and acquisitions, and its port, hotel and office leasing businesses all performed well in profitability.

During the year, Huangpu Group developed a total of five sites, including two five-star hotels, two complexes, and one pure residential building.

The three hotels are located in Sai Wan, North Point and Yuen Long. Currently, the hotel buildings have been topped out and will be renovated next. They will be officially opened in about a year.

In addition, there are two urban complexes, Whampoa City and Yuen Long. Due to excessive investment, these two sites have not yet generated any profits and are entirely supported by the funds of the entire group.

Fortunately, the Shau Kei Wan project is a residential building that can be developed and sold directly as unfinished houses. If there was no intention to control sales, they would have been sold out.

Benefiting from the profits of the Shau Kei Wan project, the board of directors of Whampoa Group decided to distribute a dividend of HK$3763 per share, totaling HK$ million to shareholders.

As the major shareholder holding more than 2551% of the shares, Shanfeng Investment received a dividend of HK$ million alone.

Although Huangpu Group's dividends are not much, its stock appreciates rapidly and is worthy of long-term holding by investors, so its market value is steadily increasing.

Afterwards, Liu Zhicheng continued to look through the information of Daya Mining, a listed company.

After several positive announcements, Daya Mining's market value has reached 36.2 billion. Shanfeng Investment holds % of the shares and is still the second largest shareholder.

The largest shareholder is Lui Chi-ho, who distributes dividends to shareholders every year. This year, he distributed 1810 million in one go. The dividend amount received by Shanfeng Investment was million Hong Kong dollars.

Shanfeng Investment also holds shares in Wharf Holdings, with a shareholding of more than 10%, and is currently in the process of secret purchases.

In addition, it also holds a 1% stake in Walmart, with a market value of US$6 million, which is equivalent to HK$ million when converted into Hong Kong dollars.

Among the above listed companies, Liu Zhicheng's wealth has reached 22 billion Hong Kong dollars. He should be among the top Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong, but he has definitely surpassed Li Chaoren.

In addition to listed companies, Yunsong Investment also owns all the shares of three non-listed companies, namely Orange Technology, Chigo International, and Tiantian Newspaper. The value of this part is difficult to estimate.

After more than two years of hard work, Liu Zhicheng never thought that he would become so powerful, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

After get off work, Liu Zhicheng went straight home, had dinner with his parents, and chatted about family matters in the living room.

Liu Yanxin and Yin Huifen's families are both old Macau people, and their closest relative in the mainland is Liu Yanxin's uncle.

When I stayed in Guangzhou, this uncle should have passed away, but there should be several cousins, but I have never been in touch with them.

Liu Zhicheng suggested to his parents that they go to visit relatives, although the reason was far-fetched, the purpose was to establish some connection with the north.

Yin Huifen said: "The situation in the north is somewhat special. The relationship with Taiwan is not good. If we go to the mainland to visit relatives now, will the Taiwanese authorities have a strong reaction? Will our interests in Taiwan be damaged?"

"I will consider these, so I suggest you go first. It's just a return trip to your hometown to visit relatives, and at most you can donate some money. It's not a big problem." Liu Zhicheng said.

Yin Huifen tried to persuade him: "There have indeed been some changes in mainland China's policies, but I suggest you wait and see. You should wait and see like other merchants in the city. It won't be too late to go again after the situation becomes clear."

Of course, Yin Huifen’s suggestion was a safe way to deal with the situation, but Liu Zhicheng’s purpose was different.

Liu Zhicheng said: "Once the situation becomes clear, it won't be as effective as it is now. Go boldly and don't worry."

The first group of businessmen who went to the mainland in the previous life were Hu Yingxiang, Li Chaoren and others who were invited by Xinhua News Agency to attend the National Day celebrations in September this year.

Liu Zhicheng asked his parents to enter the mainland in advance for the development of his companies. The foundation of Liu Zhicheng's companies is manufacturing.

The future of Hong Kong's manufacturing industry in the mainland must attract Liu Zhicheng's attention. Entering the mainland early will definitely be beneficial and have no disadvantages.

Since Liu Zhicheng was going to the north, Yin Huifen decided that they should explore the way first and said, "Once we get to the north, besides visiting relatives, is there anything else we need to do?"

Liu Zhicheng was very happy with his parents' support, so he said, "As long as the North knows that you have been there, it will be enough. There is no need to do anything big for now. If possible, you can donate a school or something."

The mainland lacks infrastructure. Even if one wants to invest in a factory now, the conditions do not allow it. The only way is to wait until the special economic zone is established and then invest. Then everything will fall into place.

Liu Zhicheng then asked his father Liu Yanxin: "How is our family's charity fund doing?"

"A Yanxin Zhicheng Charity Fund has been registered and is preparing to operate. Your mother and I have taken one million as the initial capital." Liu Yanxin said.

When Liu Zhicheng heard his father say "Yan Xin Zhicheng", he couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect his father to be so high-profile, but he came from an official family, so he must have his reasons.

To support his father's charity, Liu Zhicheng said: "I will inject 10 million Hong Kong dollars tomorrow. If we want to do charity, we must do it on a larger scale."

Liu Zhicheng discussed the charity plan in Hong Kong with his parents again.

"Children's education is our first direction. We will discuss with the Hong Kong government to see which remote areas in Hong Kong need to build schools and donate a few of them," said Liu Zhicheng.

Liu Zhicheng had already planned this. The concept of charity is too broad, covering all aspects of social welfare, and requires huge amounts of funds.

No one is capable of covering all categories, and there is no order of priority, so Liu Zhicheng plans to start with schools.

"This is not a problem. I have recently set up a special office and I am investigating this issue. There are many students from various places in Hong Kong who need to walk a long way to go to other schools. The Hong Kong government will definitely be willing to cooperate. How many schools are you going to build first?" Liu Yanxin asked.

"Let's make a plan for 5 seats first. If it's not enough, we can add more." Liu Zhicheng said after thinking for a while.

Hong Kong is just a city, not too big, not too small. There are about 300 primary schools, and it is impossible to build too many, otherwise it would be a bit wasteful.

"What's the name of that primary school?" Liu Yanxin asked.

"How about Yanxin Zhicheng Primary School?" Liu Zhicheng said with a smile.

"Keep your word and be determined to succeed" is a good name for a school," Liu Yanxin said.

"Let's build up our reputation first, so that it will be much easier for the Yanxin Zhicheng Charity Foundation to raise funds in the future."

Liu Zhicheng glanced at Liu Yanxin, smiled and continued, "In order to promote the brand of our charity fund, we can declare that in the next ten years, the investment in charity will exceed 1 million Hong Kong dollars, which will definitely gain unprecedented appeal."

"One hundred million Hong Kong dollars? Isn't that too much?" Liu Yanxin was shocked. This was a shocking number.

"Actually, it's not that much. The 100 million is just a topic for media hype. It will be invested over ten years, so there won't be much in one year." Liu Zhicheng said with a smile.
