598 [Valuable Kowloon Container Terminal]

Reform and opening up is the clarion call for the rise of China's economy and national strength, from 362.4 billion yuan in 78 years to 99 trillion yuan in 2019, an increase of more than 300 times, surpassing Japan and Britain at once and becoming the world's second largest economy!

This feat took only forty years, and it all started at the end of December this year!

Huo Yaowen knows very well that as long as he takes this high-speed train, even if he only buys a few pieces of land in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, waiting for demolition, he can become a billionaire in 40 years, and under this temptation, he will definitely be the first person to eat crabs.

In the middle of the night, Huo Yaowen suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Anna who was sleeping on his side, got out of bed carefully, put on his coat, opened the door and went out.

After a while, the lights came on in the study.

He sat down in his chair, took the phone, and called Davide by number.

Previously, he tossed and turned in bed for a long time and couldn't sleep, and his mind was always thinking about mainland investment.

Although the reform and opening up was implemented in 78 years, it was all crossing the river by feeling the stones, many policies were unclear, and often the news released on the same day had new changes the next day, which also led to the early 80s, basically there were few large investments, and foreign capital was not.

Although Huo Yaowen knows a little bit about the reform and opening up of the mainland in the 8-90s, he is a post-80s generation after all, and the most impressive thing is around 2000, and he really doesn't know much about the 80s.

So I can only call Davide and ask him to gather people from the investment advisers, information consultants, financial advisers and other think tanks of his private investment finance company tomorrow for a meeting.

When Davide heard that his boss was calling in the middle of the night for a meeting tomorrow morning, he immediately cried and laughed, and his heart was speechless for a while, but who let him be the boss?

He had no choice but to respond that he would arrive at the company's contact as soon as possible in the morning.

……

It was past nine o'clock in the morning the next day.

Huo Yaowen got up in a daze, and as soon as he touched his side, the person next to him had already gotten up.

He yawned and got out of bed, went into the bathroom to wash up, changed into a suit that Anna had prepared, and walked downstairs.

As soon as he went downstairs, he saw his son Xiaohu squatting on the ground playing with blocks, and his father Huo Chengcai was smiling and accompanying him.

And Xiaobao and Grandma are sitting on the sofa watching cartoons on the Phoenix Channel Children's Channel.

"Dad. ”

Xiaohu heard the movement, looked up, and saw that it was his father, and immediately put down the building blocks in his hand excitedly and ran over.

Huo Yaowen touched his son's head, took his hand, glanced at his father Huo Chengcai next to the building block, and said with a smile: "Dad, Xiaohu can play with him, you don't have to accompany him." ”

"It's okay, there's nothing to do in the study house today, it's good to play with Xiaohu at home. ”

Huo Chengcai fiddled with the building blocks on the ground, touched his head and said, "Yaowen, don't say it, it's still quite difficult for children's toys now, I haven't succeeded in fighting for a long time just now." ”

"Grandpa, I'll teach you. Xiaohu volunteered to run over, picked up the building block parts on the ground, and taught Huo Chengcai hand in hand, teaching while saying: "Grandpa, you have to find the building blocks with the same pattern first, and then take out the different ones, see the gap clearly, and press the protruding ones in." ”

It didn't take long for Xiaohu to skillfully put together the complex building blocks into a triangular tower, "Look at grandpa, just like me." ”

"Haha, Xiaohu is so powerful, grandpa is not as good as you!"

Huo Chengcai laughed happily, stretched out his hand and touched the back of his grandson's head, thinking that he would definitely have a chance to be so smart in the future.

Watching the grandfather and grandson have a lot of fun, Huo Yaowen also smiled and didn't bother, turned around and went to the sofa to say hello to Grandma who was watching cartoons with his great-granddaughter.

Anna, who came out of the kitchen, heard that Huo Yaowen was going out, and hurriedly said, "The kitchen also left you a little breakfast, I'll help you warm it up and eat it before you go out." ”

"No, the company is in a bit of a hurry, so I won't have breakfast at home. ”

Grandma followed: "No matter how anxious you are, you have to eat breakfast and then go out." ”

Huo Yaowen looked at his watch, it was almost ten o'clock, and he thought that Davide was still in the hands of the conveners, so after thinking about it, he nodded with a smile: "Okay, listen to Grandma, your old man let me eat, I will definitely eat before leaving." ”

"This is my good grandson, just like Xiaobao, obedient. ”

A smile appeared on Grandma's aging face.

Xiaobao, who was immersed in the cartoon, seemed to hear Grandma boast that she was obedient and well-behaved, and immediately raised her head, bared her teeth and grinned: "I am the most well-behaved Grandma." ”

Looking at the flattering Ah Bao, Grandma said happily on the spot: "Yes, yes, our Xiaobao is the most well-behaved." ”

Seeing this scene, Huo Yaowen and Anna looked at each other and smiled, compared to Xiaohu, who was a bit serious, Xiaobao was much more eccentric.

……

At eleven o'clock, Yaowen invested in the finance company.

Davide counted the people present and made sure that everyone was here, so he came to Huo Yaowen and said, "Boss, everyone is here." ”

"Hmm" Huo Yaowen nodded in response, and glanced at the dozen or so people present, all of whom were newly recruited talents in investment, information, finance and other aspects in recent years, in order to help Huo Yaowen take care of the various industries under his name.

"The main purpose of convening everyone here today is to collect information on the mainland and see which projects we are most suitable to invest in in the mainland. ”

As soon as the words fell, the scene was quiet.

Everyone thought the boss was joking, or that he had said the wrong thing.

But after waiting for a while, it didn't look like the boss was saying something wrong, and he wasn't joking.

"Boss, do we really want to invest in the mainland?"

Huo Yaowen glanced at the person who spoke, and when he saw that he was puzzled, the people around him were also surprised, raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't think I'm joking, right? I said let you collect information about the mainland, and then see which projects we are suitable for investing in, it's not me kidding!"

"But I remember that it didn't seem to be allowed over there. ”

"yes, I thought I was mistaken. ”

"Boss, do you have any news?"

For a while, everyone in the conference room began to discuss.

After communicating for a while, they didn't see the main person speak, and their voices gradually lowered, and soon no one talked anymore, and they all stared at the boss in unison.

Huo Yaowen glanced at everyone, and after confirming that no one intervened, he said slowly: "Okay, let's not discuss it, you just need to know that investment is allowed, and don't say anything else." You should do some research as soon as possible to see what we are suitable for investment. Also, when this matter leaves the door of the conference room later, no one is allowed to mention it. Let the meeting adjourn now. ”

The meeting started suddenly, and ended suddenly, and a group of people walked out of the conference room in confusion.

In a moment, only Huo Yaowen and Davide were left in the entire room.

Davide hesitated for a few seconds, and finally opened his mouth to ask, "Boss, ...... over there"

Huo Yaowen stretched out his hand and interrupted: "Don't ask too much, just know that you can invest." ”

"Understood. ”

Although Davide is an Englishman, he is also aware of the situation in the mainland, and seeing that the boss decided that he can invest, he should have received a little inside information, so he didn't continue to say anything, but just picked up the prepared documents and handed them to Huo Yaowen.

As he handed it over, he said, "Boss, this is all the assets that Wharf currently holds. ”

After taking over, Huo Yaowen immediately flipped through a few pages, which wrote in detail about Wharf's assets, most of which were basically in container terminals and terminal warehouses and some real estate projects, in general, this is a company that is undervalued by the market.

Not to mention real estate projects, just two container terminals are worth at least 3 billion!

After all, there is no real price at the container terminal, but the ships that load and unload the goods every day bring the ship port fee, drinking water fee, dock fee, ship tax, lighthouse fee, tugboat fee, unmooring, and mooring fee...... and so on, you can earn at least hundreds of millions of dollars every year.

This is only now, when Hong Kong became the head of the Asian Tigers in the 8-90s and became the busiest port city in the world, the ocean-going ships that came to dock at the port terminal every day could collect at least hundreds of thousands of dollars a day for the two terminals alone.

Thinking of this, Huo Yaowen subconsciously pinched his fingers, at this time he was really a little reluctant to sell the shares of Wharf to the charter king, and couldn't help asking: "How many shares of Wharf have we received now?"

Davide thought for a moment and said, "There are almost more than 7 million shares. ”

"So little?"

"It's not a little boss, before you told me to collect Wharf shares, I arranged for someone to sweep the goods with all their might, during which Kowloon stocks also rose several times, if we didn't stop for a while, I'm afraid Kowloon stocks will rise a lot, so as to attract the attention of Jardine Matheson. ”

Speaking of this, Davide suddenly frowned and said: "Although we have been making every effort to buy, but the goods have been very small, I found that there are other people who are sweeping the shares of Wharf like us, until November when I chartered the king of ships to apply for entry into the board of directors of Kowloon, I knew that he was collecting." ”

Some time ago, the news of the charter ship king stationed in Wharf and the abandonment of the ship landed was in a uproar on Hong Kong Island, and almost everyone knew about it.

"I know this, but don't worry about the charter king, continue to make every effort to buy the shares of Wharf, no matter how much the price is collected, by the way, contact those small shareholders of Wharf privately, to see if anyone is willing to sell, you must increase your holdings to 15 million shares by the end of January!"

Speaking of this, Huo Yaowen thought of increasing his holdings of Hutchison again, and hurriedly said: "By the way, you can also help me get back a little more of the stocks scattered outside Hutchison Whampoa, and it is enough to add 10 million shares." ”

"No problem boss, I'll arrange it as soon as possible. ”

Davide nodded in response.
