"If I remember correctly, the Hong Kong Economic Journal seems to have reported that Li Sheng pays Han Sheng a salary of 120 million Hong Kong dollars every year! I didn't expect that Zhuang Sheng's salary is higher than that of Han Sheng!" Guo Kongpu was a little confused Said with confidence, he is Guo Henian's nephew and a director of Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts. ☆→☆→ǎn☆→小☆→say,

Guo Henian's eldest son, Guo Kongcheng, fell in love with Deng Lijun a few years ago, and later they have reached the point of talking about marriage. However, due to the opposition of the Guo family, the two finally chose to break up, and Guo Kongcheng also had a lot of heartache for his father Guo Henian.

Guo Kongcheng, who was originally in charge of the business of Hong Kong's Lira Hotel Group, simply chose to travel to Europe to relax. The prince of the Guo family chose to exile himself, and Guo Henian had to promote several of his nephews to serve in the family group, and Guo Kongpu, who followed Guo Henian aboard today, is the most favored one. (Haha, going too far, I accidentally discovered that Teresa Teng still has such a history of marrying into a wealthy family!)

"You remember right, but apart from his salary, Han Sheng should also have equity rewards! But this Zhuang Sheng is indeed a super powerful character. I don't know if you have paid attention to it. Last September, the Group of Five signed a contract in New York, USA. The 'Plaza Agreement'!

In the three months since the signing of the agreement, the exchange rate of the yen against the dollar has appreciated by 20%. From the end of September last year, it was 250 yen to the dollar, and now it has become 200 yen to the dollar. And as far as I know, the fund managed by Zhuang Yuhai for Li Sheng began to bet heavily on the yen exchange rate before the signing of the "Plaza Agreement"!

Although I don't know how much the fund has invested in Japan, there must be $500 million to $600 million. That is to say, in just three months, the fund's investment in Japan has made a net return. At least over $100 million! "Li Ke continued to break the news without being astonishing.

The Han Sheng in his mouth is Han Peng, the number two person in the Oriental Group. He has always been known as the number one working emperor in Hong Kong. Hong Kong media speculated based on the salaries tax paid by Han Peng. The total salary, bonuses and allowances he received throughout the year were as high as 120 million Hong Kong dollars, and this did not include the option incentives that were not realized.

Such a huge income also makes Han Peng highly sought after in Hong Kong. No worse than any rich man. Although Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang, the wealthy and wealthy, are worth billions, most of them are fixed assets that are not easy to disguise. It is by no means an easy thing to ask these rich people to come up with 120 million cash all at once.

Han Peng is in charge of a large multinational group with total assets of tens of billions of dollars, so even if his salary is astronomical for ordinary people, everyone takes it for granted. Dongfang Group is recognized by the world as a profitable company. If Li Xuan is too stingy, he will fall into the title of "God of Wealth Li".

But now a character that no one has heard of suddenly appeared and said that his value in the eyes of "God of Wealth Li" was higher than that of Han Peng, and everyone was naturally shocked. So I continue to hear about this Zhuang Yuhai. Everyone had a sudden realization that they could earn more than 100 million US dollars for Li Xuan in just three months.

"Li Sheng's subordinates are really crouching tigers, hidden dragons! This Zhuang Sheng is indeed an amazing task. Our Lin Group's profit last year was less than 800 million Hong Kong dollars!" Lin Yuli said with a sigh.

He couldn't help but glanced at Lin Yuhao who was standing beside him with some jealousy. If Lin Yuhao hadn't been lucky enough to be Li Xuan's college roommate, he would not have had the chance to enter the top decision-making level of the Lin family as he did now because of his status as an illegitimate child. You must know the two sons and one daughter born to Lin Guitai's family, but now the only person who can really participate in the important decisions of the Lin Group is Lin Yuli, the eldest son.

A group of juniors chatting casually on the deck outside. The atmosphere in the box was also not very peaceful, and everyone was not at war with each other because of the distribution of interests. On the contrary, the biggest doubt of several bigwigs now is how much money they will spend to acquire Hongkong Land so that they will not lose money.

If you acquire a 51% stake in Landmark. It is necessary to spend all the 13 billion funds currently prepared, and this price is too great! To know that the total market value of the Landmark Group is only 15 billion Hong Kong dollars!

"We acquired a 51% stake in Landmark. It is estimated that the capital required to spend is around HK$9 billion to 10 billion! After completing the absolute control of Landmark, we can take advantage of the situation to privatize Landmark.

This makes it easier for the five of us to distribute benefits in the future. after privatization. We can split the current Landmark Group into three or four companies at will, and then re-list them separately!

certainly. If the acquisition of 51% of the shares will cost 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, then the entire privatization operation may cost about 20 billion Hong Kong dollars in total. What about the remaining gap? "Zhuang Yuhai looked around and said slowly.

The 6.1 billion Hong Kong dollars raised before should already be the bottom line of fundraising for the remaining four companies at this stage. If they continue to add on, they are likely to opt out because the risk is too great. In addition to the 7 billion raised by Li Xuan, there is still a gap of as much as 7 billion Hong Kong dollars from the 200 required to fully privatize the Landmark.

Li Xuan's Oriental Group's natural online games are capable of filling this gap, but this time he did not buy Landmark in the name of Oriental Group. Moreover, in Li Xuan's plan, Dongfang Group is not going to enter the real estate industry, so it is naturally impossible for him to use the valuable cash flow of Dongfang Group in such a place.

This time, it is the investment fund that participated in the action on behalf of Li Xuan. Before the signing of the "Plaza Agreement", Zhuang Yuhai used nearly 60% of the capital in the fund to bet on the appreciation of the yen. The 1.2 billion U.S. dollars invested in Japan has now earned a profit return of 300 million U.S. dollars just in terms of exchange rates.

Now, the period of sharp appreciation of the yen has passed. Although the yen will continue to appreciate slowly in the future, and the Japanese stock market and property market are also booming, Zhuang Yuhai still chooses to take out a The proportion of the investment in the Japanese market in the entire investment portfolio of the fund is controlled within an appropriate range.

These transferred funds require new investment channels, and Zhuang Yuhai is also very optimistic about the development of Hong Kong's economy in the next few years. So he is going to put the money into Hong Kong's stock market and property market.

Hongkong Land is not only the largest real estate group in Hong Kong, but also in the Hong Kong stock market. The single largest listed company by market capitalization. And its valuation happened to be at a low level, so Zhuang Yuhai had already set his sights on Landmark. This is also what he took the initiative to speak before. To persuade the boss Li Xuan to take over the original intention of the land company.

After the five families completed the initial distribution of benefits, Li Xuan invited Shen Bi to have dinner under the contact of Xu Shixun. The place for the interview was chosen, the Hong Kong Club at 3 Chater Road, Central.

There are three dǐng clubs in Hong Kong, namely the Hong Kong Jockey Club, the Hong Kong Yacht Club and the Hong Kong Golf Club. But in addition, there is actually a long-established high-level club, that is, the Hong Kong Club, which was established in 1846.

Unlike the other three clubs, which have gradually been dominated by Chinese, although the current Hong Kong Association no longer prohibits Chinese membership as in the early days, most of the members are still British. The Hong Kong Association is a senior British staff member in Hong Kong. One of the main places for entertainment and socializing in peacetime.

This place was decided after Xu Shixun asked Shen Bi's opinion. It is also very dramatic. Li Xuan met with Shen Bi today, and a very important task was to convince HSBC to support their acquisition of Landmark. And this 21-story-high Hong Kong Club Building happens to be the property of the Landmark Group.

"Sir Shen, Xu Sheng's China Construction Group, has united Huo Xingyetang Company, Lin's Group, Carrie Group, and a private investment fund under my name to jointly set up an acquisition team, ready to fully acquire the Jardine Group's subsidiary The Landmark Company!

Including BOC Hong Kong, Standard Chartered Bank, Jia Hua Bank, Bank of East Asia, Tai Sang Bank, Hang Seng Bank. As well as many banks including DBS Bank of Singapore and Bangkok Bank of Thailand, a total of 9.5 billion Hong Kong dollars of credit support will be provided for this acquisition. In addition, we have also raised 3.6 billion Hong Kong dollars of our own funds!

HSBC has a large number of business ties with the Landmark Group, and is one of the main creditor banks of the Landmark Corporation. So we hope that before the acquisition is officially launched. Communicate effectively with Sir Shen first! "Li Xuan didn't talk too much nonsense, and after a few words with Shen Bi, he said to the HSBC executive straight to the point.

A look of shock inevitably flashed across Shen Bi's eyes. Such an action to mobilize tens of billions of funds. There was not even a word of wind in the market, and Shen Bi could only think of the other party. Meticulous arrangements and strict confidentiality must have been carried out in advance.

In fact, Hang Seng Bank, which gave Xu Shixun 10 Hong Kong dollars of credit, is a holding subsidiary of HSBC. But when HSBC bought Hang Seng Bank. Commitment not to participate in the specific management of Hang Seng Bank, so Hang Seng's business is independent of HSBC.

When Xu Shixun negotiated with the top management of Hang Seng, he asked the other party to maintain the highest level of confidentiality for this plan. The acquisition of the land by Li Xuan and others will not directly damage the interests of HSBC, so Hang Seng did not notify the major shareholder HSBC.

Shen Bi can sit firmly on the throne of Hong Kong's financial czar, naturally he is used to seeing all kinds of wind and waves. With a smile on his face, he turned his head to Li Xuan: "Li Sheng is really a big hand, it seems that Landmark has been in your pocket!"

As soon as Li Xuan came up, he showed all his cards, hoping that Shen Bi could see the situation clearly. Since they have raised as much as 13 billion yuan, they are naturally determined to win. If HSBC wants to support the Jardine Group in its resistance, it is bound to mobilize the same amount of funds. HK$13 billion is by no means a small amount!

"Sir Shen, you may be misunderstood! I have no intention of taking a controlling stake in Landmark. This time it was actually my private investment advisor who persuaded me to make a purely financial investment! He believes that Landmark is seriously undervalued. Now, although this company has suffered huge setbacks in previous years, it is still one of the most high-quality assets in Hong Kong!

We plan to fully privatize Hongkong Land at a price not exceeding HK$20 billion. Then split and reorganize the Landmark company, split it into several independent new companies such as hotels, catering retail, real estate, etc., and re-issue new shares for listing!

I don't hold a controlling stake in any company, but my investment advisor assured me that the money I put in would be rewarded handsomely in this operation! "Li Xuan shook his head and explained to Shen Bi with a smile.

"Of course, the funds we are raising now are far from the privatization target of HK$20 billion! So we hope that HSBC will support our privatization plan after we complete the absolute control of Landmark.

But if HSBC can provide 5 billion Hong Kong dollars of financial support, I believe other banks will definitely be willing to make up for the remaining 2 billion Hong Kong dollars in funding! Li Xuan paused and continued, showing a strong self-confidence, as if HSBC had already supported his acquisition plan of Landmark.

Bringing HSBC into the acquisition of Landmark was the last part of Zhuang Yuhai's overall plan. The only reason HSBC sided with Jardine was that it feared that its inherent interests in Landmark would be damaged by other banks after the acquisition.

The best way to dispel HSBC's concerns is to let it join in. You must know that every penny that the acquisition team borrows from the syndicate has high interest costs, so banks like to participate in such large-scale mergers and acquisitions.

Xu Shixun, who was sitting together in the box, did not speak from the beginning to the end, and only Li Xuan, the richest man in the world, was qualified to put his own conditions in front of Shen Bi so strongly for HSBC to make a choice.

The room fell silent all of a sudden, Li Xuan took a few pieces of sweet from the dining table and put it in his mouth, giving Shen Bi, who was sitting next to him, some time to think. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

"Sir Shen, about the acquisition of Landmark just now, I'm just representing Huo Sheng, Guo Sheng, and Lin Sheng who didn't come to meet you today. I'll let you know in advance. Next, they are drooling over this piece of fat. The guy, I will ask you to talk in detail! Let's start talking about business!"

Li Xuan didn't wait for Shen Bi to reply, and suddenly spoke again. He kept himself out of the way lightly, as if the acquisition of the land had little to do with him.

And Shen Bi also showed a somewhat interested smile: "I don't know what business Li Sheng is going to talk about next?"

"Hong Kong's electronics industry is entering a period of rapid development, which is inseparable from the credit support of financial capital. HSBC is the most important cornerstone of Hong Kong's financial industry. Oriental Group hopes to reach a strategic partnership agreement with HSBC to jointly promote Hong Kong's industry. The upgrade and transformation!" Li Xuan also smiled warmly at Shen Bi.

Shen Bi has been working in Hong Kong for more than 30 years and has long been an authentic China expert. He immediately captured some different information from Li Xuan's implicit words. Orient Group hopes to reach a strategic partnership with HSBC. Does this mean that Li Xuan is ready to support HSBC to enter the electronics industry in Hong Kong? (To be continued..)
