There is water in front of the Yangzhai, which is called "Judging Water", and the other three sides see the continuous mountains, forming a "Water Gathering Bureau", and Victoria Harbour is the most famous "Water Gathering Bureau" in Hong Kong. ≧ small,

Hutchison Building is located on the side of the Statue Square and the Peace Monument in Central, facing the 180-degree Victoria Harbour. The square gate absorbs the air from the front and the back, and achieves the harmony of yin and yang.

This feng shui exquisite building is the headquarters of the listed company Hutchison Whampoa Group. When Li Jiacheng acquired Hutchison Whampoa, some Feng Shui experts concluded that the Li family has prospered and prospered since then.

Of course, it is impossible for Hutchison to fill the building by itself. Many other well-known companies have also settled in this building, such as the investment bank of HSBC, and Dolly Securities.

It is not difficult to apply for a brokerage license in Hong Kong, so there are hundreds of securities companies in Hong Kong. These securities companies can be roughly divided into three categories. The first category is Chinese-owned securities firms, accounting for about 70-80% of the total. However, except for a few large companies such as Xiang Sun Hung Kai Securities and Hang Seng Securities, most Chinese-owned securities companies are limited in scale.

The second category is the British-owned securities, the most famous representative of which is the HSBC's Dolly Company. Unlike Chinese-funded brokerages who like small and flexible operations and focus on securities brokerage business, although the number of British-funded brokerages is much smaller, they are more like mainstream brokerages. Most of them carry out securities brokerage business and investment banking business side by side, and their research level on the Hong Kong stock market is much higher than that of Chinese securities companies.

The last category is foreign securities companies that have just landed on the beach in recent years after the Hong Kong government further loosened restrictions on the financial capital market. For example, companies like Nomura Securities in Japan, Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs in the United States. All of these dragons are predators in the international capital market. It's just that most of them are still in a period of acclimatization and haven't really started to exert their strength.

at dusk. Dozens of reporters blocked the elevator entrance of the Hutchison Building, but this time they did not go to the famous Win Dolly Company in the building. Instead, they all flocked to another obscure new company. The new company, called Asia Securities, had just settled in Hutchison Building a few months ago. Even most of the industry peers may not have heard of his name, but from today onwards, I believe that the name of Asia Securities will be widely known in Hong Kong.

Heung Kong Holdings actually entrusted two companies, namely Dolly Securities and Asia Securities, as agent brokers in the acquisition of the Land Group. And the chief responsible for this is not the well-known and well-known Dolly Securities, but the little-known Asian Securities.

This afternoon, Asia Securities sent an invitation letter to the major media in Hong Kong, informing them that a special question-and-answer session with reporters on the acquisition of Landmark will be held at the headquarters of Asia Securities in Hutchison Building at five in the evening.

"Hello, I'm Xian Guoqiang, a reporter from the Oriental Daily. May I ask if Li Sheng led the joint acquisition of Landmark by the five bigwigs?" The thin man realized that he was the first to arrive, and immediately got up and asked excitedly.

"Actually, I'm the real initiator of this action!" Zhuang Yuhai picked up the microphone and said with a hearty smile, he is now the chairman of Asia Securities Company, "Hehe, it seems that everyone's faces are not very good. Believe, but it is!

In fact, as early as the beginning of the establishment of Asian securities companies. Our colleagues in the research department of our company have already begun to pay attention to Landmark, and they have found that the value of Landmark is being undervalued by the market. So when I had a chance to have dinner with Li Sheng, Xu Jiankui and Lin Yuhao, I started to persuade them to buy Landmark.

Li Sheng listened carefully to my analysis of Landmark. I was gradually persuaded. After learning that Mr. Li Xuan was willing to join the Xu family and the Lin family, they also became more interested in my proposal. However, the development focus of Dongfang Group has always been the high-tech field, and it is not ready to extend its front to enter the real estate industry. Therefore, Mr. Li Xuan only decided to use his own funds to participate in this investment.

After Li Sheng, Lin Guitai and Xu Shixun discussed, they found that the three companies could mobilize funds. It is still a little stretched for the acquisition of such a giant company as Landmark. So Huo Yingdong and Guo Henian were invited to join in! "

"Zhuang Sheng, what is your relationship with Li Sheng?" A female reporter was sitting in the first row. As soon as Zhuang Yuhai finished speaking, he immediately interjected and asked.

"Ma'am, what you're doing doesn't conform to the questioning rules we made in advance! I can make an exception this time, but if there is another reporter who asks questions at will without the host's name, I will not only ignore it, he will Tonight will also directly lose the chance to be named!

My relationship with Li Sheng is actually very simple, just friends, otherwise I wouldn't be able to have dinner with him! Of course, in addition to this, he also accepted Li Sheng's entrustment to help him manage some of his personal investments! " After Zhuang Yuhai finished speaking, he turned his head towards the host next to him and motioned for a reporter under his name to ask questions.

"Hello, this is Gong Xueming, a reporter from Sing Tao Daily. There are rumors that the Chinese government is behind the acquisition. Is this news true?" The next reporter stood up and asked.

"I don't know where you heard such rumors, but I can tell you now with great certainty that this acquisition of Landmark is a purely commercial act and has nothing to do with Chinese officials!

Even Mr. Huo Yingdong obtained a credit of HK$1 billion from BOC Hong Kong because of Huo Xingyetang's good business reputation over the years. Moreover, in order to control its own risks, Bank of China requires Huo Sheng to provide some assets as collateral, so it has nothing to do with politics!

The reason why the five shareholders of the Hong Kong holding company are willing to spend huge sums of money on the acquisition of Landmark is because everyone thinks that this is a profitable business worth trying! "Zhuang Yuhai shook his head and said solemnly.

"Hello, Zhuang Sheng, this is Huang Ying, a reporter from the Hong Kong Economic Journal! In recent months, there have been a series of reports that are unfavorable to Jardine He Group and Landmark. May I ask if this is because of Heung Kong Holdings? In order to drive down the stock price of Landmark? Does this act like a manipulation of the market!"

The reporter's next question was a bit sharp. Let the colleagues present all at once excited. People who run the news naturally have a first-class sensitive sense of smell, if everyone was still a little foggy before. Now there are some smart people who can taste some clues.

Naturally, Zhuang Yuhai would never allow this kind of illegal sewage to be spilled on his own body. He didn't rush to answer. Instead, he paused for a moment and glanced at every reporter present on the side with confident eyes.

Then, he said calmly: "As for the malicious speculation and groundless accusations made by the media friend of the Hong Kong Economic Journal without any evidence, on behalf of Heung Kong Holdings, I express that I cannot accept it!

Heung Kong Holdings, as well as Asia Securities and Dolly Securities, which were entrusted with the business, strictly abided by the relevant provisions of the Securities Ordinance promulgated by the Legislative Council in 1974 during the entire process of acquiring Landmark. We welcome the Commissioner of the Securities and Exchange Commission to intervene in the investigation at any time!

As for the recent emergence of the Hong Kong market, a series of public opinions criticizing the Jardine Group. I don't think there's any fuss to be made! This is entirely due to the failure of the top management of the two companies, Jardine and Landmark, headed by the Keswick family, to manage the companies well.

Friends from the media should also pay attention. Most of the criticisms against Jardine and Landmark only appeared after the two companies released the new half-year results bulletin at the end of October last year. The financial statements given by the two companies are not only behind their peers in the industry, but also not as good as previous market expectations, which will naturally attract doubts!

In fact, it is precisely because of this that the five shareholders of Heung Kong Holdings are determined to speed up the acquisition of Hongkong Land. Landmark is a leading company in the Hong Kong stock market, and has lost confidence in Hong Kong. In the hands of a disorganized team, even such a blue-chip company with a large number of high-quality assets is still unable to reverse its performance and revive its stock price!

Landmark is Hong Kong's Landmark. For those who are in a hurry to escape, what we should do is be convenient to others. Hongkong Land's large real estate in Central, these are impossible to move out of Hong Kong. So here I advise the Keswick family. Why don't we take advantage of the opportunity we are willing to buy outright and simply discount the equity, because cash is easier to transfer!

Of course, we must also thank the management of Landmark. It is precisely because of their incompetence that we are in the volatile stock price of Landmark recently. It is easy to absorb 24.5% of the shares! "

While Zhuang Yuhai justly cleared his relationship, he did not forget to ridicule the senior officials of the Jardine Department. Capital is **** and sinful, and his previous practice was absolutely suspected of manipulating the stock price of Landmark. However, with the current level of supervision in the Hong Kong securities market, even if a real investigation is carried out, it is impossible to catch any handle on Heung Kong Holdings.

In fact, only a small part of the previous series of articles and reports attacking Jardine companies were released by him quietly, and most of the rest were the follow-up works of various media. Compared with those little-known small companies, reporters are more willing to grasp the handle of well-known large companies, so that it is easier to attract the attention of readers.

For example, the Hong Kong Economic Journal, where the reporter who asked the question, published more than a dozen articles questioning the Jardine Department some time ago, but only two of them were really related to Zhuang Yuhai.

And every article released by Zhuang Yuhai has something to say, not baseless malicious slander, and the author can completely refute it with the reasons of academic contention.

In fact, the effect of this public opinion attack is far more perfect than Zhuang Yuhai expected in advance. And a large part of the reason for this is also because the executives of the Jardine Group are too arrogant. When the unfavorable public opinion just came out, the Jardine Group did not timely public relations, but chose to dismiss it. So much so that under the secret promotion of Zhuang Yuhai, this kind of public opinion attack formed a wave.

Just when Zhuang Yuhai scolded Fang Qiu calmly and unrestrainedly in front of dozens of reporters, Liu Ruanxiong arrived at the Fulinmen Restaurant in Causeway Bay as scheduled for a banquet. Li Xuan naturally couldn't just invite Liu Ruanxiong alone. When he walked into the box, there were already several people sitting around.

Liu Ruanxiong knew all of the people present. The task sitting on Li Xuan's left was very powerful in the Hong Kong stock market a few years ago, and was hailed by the newspaper as a "gold medal bookmaker".

It's just that this strange man in the stock market was the owner of the Carrian Group of Chen Songqing, a mysterious wealthy businessman in Nanyang, and the carrian myth was completely broken in the real estate crisis in 1982. Chen Songqing himself was imprisoned for fraud. Zhan Peizong, a "gold medalist", was also involved and discredited. Liu Ruanxiong heard that he had immigrated to Canada before, but he did not expect to meet him at dinner tonight.

"Zhan Sheng, I heard that you have immigrated to Canada, are you coming back to visit relatives or?" Liu Ruanxiong greeted everyone and walked to the vacant seat beside Zhan Peizong to sit down.

"Gui Lao's territory is not suitable for us Chinese to live for a long time. After thinking about it, I still think Hong Kong is good, so I ran back!" Zhan Peizong waved his hand with a wry smile.

"As the saying goes, a good horse doesn't eat grass, it seems that you are not a good horse!" The old man sitting on the other side of Li Xuan joked with a smile.

Liu Ruanxiong also knew this person, but he was the dean of the School of Business Administration of CUHK and also the dean of the Asian Economic Research Institute.

"You are not Bole, how can you know whether I am a good horse or a bad horse!" Zhan Peizong also countered with a smile without showing weakness.

"Zhan Sheng is naturally a rare horse in Hong Kong's securities industry. After a while, you will be convinced by President Huo!" Li Xuan supported Zhan Peizong.

"Have you heard, Li Sheng is the real Bole!" Zhan Peizong laughed~www.readwn.com~ Huo Qiuxing glanced at Li Xuan curiously, waiting for his further answer.

"Zhan Sheng recently set his sights on a company, ready to play the unique skill of turning corruption into a magical one!" Li Xuan said with a smile, but did not elaborate.

"Then I'll have to wait and see!" Huo Qiuxing did not continue to ask.

Liu Ruanxiong listened to the chatter and laughter of the people next to him, and felt that he had inadvertently entered a higher-level circle. For example, like Zhan Peizong, he accumulated a fortune of over 100 million by investing in stocks a few years ago.

Although Huo Qiuhang is not a wealthy businessman, the Asian Economic Research Institute, where he serves as the director, is now not only a well-known think tank institution in Hong Kong, but has already begun to become famous throughout Asia.

The Asian Economic Research Institute is the Oriental Economic Research Institute a few years ago. It was originally a decision-making think tank established by Li Xuan for the Oriental Group. But it started eight or three years ago and became a non-profit public think tank from the Oriental Group. (To be continued..)
