HK$415.2 billion investment plan
Wang Na seemed to understand the metaphor a little, but still replied: "Of course, the fish in the sea are bigger than the fish in the lake!"
"Well, I think everyone here is smart, and I don't need to say much more about why. Xu Zhi continued: "This business is actually like this, it will always be trapped in one place, even if it can be called the king and hegemon, it is just Yelang arrogant."
Xiangjiang's economy may be okay in Asia, but in the world, it is only a city with a population of 5 million, which is less than one-tenth of most developed countries in the world.
There are many ways to enter the international market, you can find partners and develop your own channels, but acquiring a company with a complete industry chain is the fastest and easiest way to succeed, which is also the purpose of my acquisition of Disney.
As for the current statements of some malicious newspapers in Xiangjiang, thinking that I am preparing to withdraw from Xiangjiang, then I will calculate, I did spend $2 billion to acquire Disney in the United States, but have you counted my assets in Xiangjiang, my shares in Hutchison are worth 5 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the total assets of Evergrande Company are also more than 7 billion, but these two things are no less than the funds invested in Disney.
Not to mention, the headquarters of Midea, Changxing, Jinniu and other companies are all in Xiangjiang, and only in Tin Shui Wai, several of my companies have solved the employment of nearly 10,000 people, a large number of roads in Tin Shui Wai, Evergrande is also constantly investing, I want to ask you, if a person withdraws from this side, will he still invest in Xiangjiang on a large scale?
Did you only see that I spent a sum of money in the United States, so who can clearly investigate how much money I invested in Hong Kong?"
In the face of Xu Zhi's repeated questions, many reporters began to think sadly, any reporter can only ask questions once, everyone cherishes this opportunity, and will raise their hands to seek opportunities to ask questions after thinking about the problem clearly.
After a while, many reporters raised their hands.
Xu Zhi clicked on a reporter, and he asked: "Xu Sheng, according to you, this merger and acquisition is just a policy investment, so in other words, you will not emigrate?"
Please don't get me wrong, it's not that I doubt you, but too many people in the current market spread the information that you are about to immigrate, so I specifically asked. ”
"It doesn't matter. Xu Zhi waved his hand and said: "I have also heard some rumors in the market, and I didn't want to explain at first, but since this reporter friend asked a question, then I will also answer it."
I can tell everyone in front of all the reporters here that I will never immigrate to the United States, or any other country, and that several of my current companies may make large-scale investments in other countries in the future, but these are only for commercial purposes, and the headquarters of these companies will always be in Hong Kong. ”
Before the press conference, Xu Zhi had already obtained all the questions that might be asked by the think tanks, and after some preparation, he naturally answered them more easily.
The questions continue:
"Xu Sheng, why did you invest in Disney and not other American film companies?" asked an unnamed reporter.
Xu Zhi replied: "The investment in Disney was decided based on the needs of our company and the combined analysis of suitable companies in the United States, among all the film companies in the United States, Disney is the best at the field of animation, which is the same as Eternal Culture, so we are now buying Disney." ”
Another reporter then asked: "Xu Sheng, we can understand that you have to acquire overseas companies for the development of the company, but why can't you wait for another two years, the economy of the whole Xiangjiang is not good, and a large amount of investment is urgently needed to restore the confidence of investors, I want to ask again, I don't know if you have the idea of large-scale investment in Xiangjiang?"
"First of all, let me make a point. Xu Zhi glanced at the male reporter who had just asked a question and said: "What kind of company I invest in and when I invest in it are all my personal matters, and I don't need anyone to understand."
Second, although some of the current economic problems in Hong Kong are affected by some special events, but their essence is a normal economic decline, that is, from 1975 to 1981, the average house price in Hong Kong has risen fourfold, while the wages of ordinary workers and waiters in Hong Kong have increased only twice, such a big gap has led to too many people not being able to afford to buy a house.
Even if house prices fall now, they are still nearly twice as high as they were in 1975, which is a reasonable price, and the so-called crisis is just to burst the bubble.
As for investing in Hong Kong, I will, but this requires specific planning and purposeful investment, rather than entering the stock market or real estate market in a scattered manner. ”
The reporters below saw that they were even more active, and they all raised their hands one by one, intending to be selected.
A reporter from Ming Pao was selected and asked, "Xu Sheng, since you are already planning to invest in Xiangjiang, can you introduce the scale of the investment and the specific plan?"
"Investment, although it is my money, is not something that I can decide on alone. Xu Zhi replied: "Large-scale investment plans involve all aspects, and also need to cooperate with the Hong Kong government's development plan, this point, Evergrande has negotiated with the Hong Kong government, in the past five years, I will invest more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars to help Hong Kong out of this economic crisis, and at the same time can also create more job opportunities, for the loss of jobs to help families." ”
"HK$20 Billion ......"
Everyone was taken aback, this number is too huge, you know, the quasi-central bank of Hong Kong, HSBC, its total market value is only 40 billion Hong Kong dollars.
HK$20 billion is enough to buy most of the companies in Hong Kong.
Of course, this is only the total amount of investment, and if you know a little about economics, you will understand that maybe this is just a play on words, and the real amount of money spent may be less than one-tenth of the total investment under the method of financing and revolving investment.
"Xu Sheng, can you briefly introduce the follow-up investment project. Another reporter was targeted.
"The HK$20 billion total investment plan involves four companies, namely Hutchison, Evergrande, Midea and Changxing, of which Evergrande Group will invest in a plot of land at the Old Street Power Plant in Causeway Bay to build a large commercial plaza called Times Square with a total construction area of over 1 million square feet (100,000 square meters)," Xu said.
Midea and Changxing will also build headquarters in Xiangjiang, which is also the best evidence that our group will not leave Xiangjiang.
Hutchison is also planning to develop its land, but the specific plan is still being negotiated with the Hong Kong government, which is still a trade secret.
In addition, in order to help other Heung Kong companies that are in financial difficulties due to the economic crisis, the Bank of East Asia has also launched a special support program, which allows enterprises of all sizes to apply for funds for turnover, and we will provide loans or other financing methods according to the situation to help them get out of the predicament. ”
Xu Zhi said in one breath the follow-up large-scale investment plan, now is the best time to invest in the Xiangjiang market, but with his current assets, he is not interested in some scattered investments, and large-scale investments are what he is most interested in.
