Chapter 1283: Two Pieces of Fat

Getting out of the business car, Yin Jun had already arrived at Hongkong Land's headquarters.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I got out of the car, a few reporters rushed by.

"Jun Shao, why did you come to buy land?"

"Are you going to work with Hongkong Land?"

"Jun Shao, you didn't make it clear last night, when will Xiangjiang's economy get better?"

“……”

Encountering a few scattered shrimp soldiers and crab generals, Yin Jun naturally would not be forced to answer questions, a few bodyguards surrounded him in the middle, and walked into the headquarters building of Hongkong Land in a blink of an eye.

When he arrived at the general manager's office on the roof, Yin Jun's first sentence was to mention this matter to Niu Bijian.

"Mr. Taipan, the business of Hongkong Land has not been doing well lately, right? You see that the reporters are blocking the door. ”

Niu Bi was so angry that he blew his beard, "There are more reporters at the door of your Kirin Group than Hongkong Land, why don't you say it?"

"They're looking for news topics, because the Kirin Group is the most stable company in Heung Kong today. Yin Jun said with a smile, "The comic weeklies, books, newspapers, and toys that are shipped out of the Kirin Group every day represent that our business is booming, and we are making money all over the world for the people of Xiangjiang." ”

"Can you represent Xiangjiang?" Niu Bijian sneered, "Don't forget, Jardine Matheson is the largest group in Xiangjiang, and the Kirin Group wants to surpass us, let's talk about it for ten or eight years." ”

There is no doubt that Jardine Matheson, which has been deeply involved in Hong Kong for nearly 100 years, is the largest group in Hong Kong.

Their market value in Xiangjiang alone has already exceeded 50 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it was 50 billion in 1982!

With the addition of overseas assets, their market value can already be regarded as 100 billion Hong Kong dollars.

At this time, Li Chaoren's Changjiang Industry was only 8 billion yuan, Li Zhaoji's Henderson Development was less than 1.5 billion, and Zheng Yutong's New World Development also fell to more than 2 billion.

Hongkong Land is a subsidiary of Jardine Matheson, and is also the largest real estate developer in Hong Kong, owning many immeasurable real estate properties and the largest landowner in Hong Kong.

The most puzzling thing is that many of these lands did not cost them money, and they were all casually occupied when they came to Xiangjiang.

The so-called enclosure is to set aside a piece of land here, and then tell the officials that we want this land.

At that time, Xiangjiang was a desolate place, there was nothing, everyone was British, and the officials wished that there would be a company from their own country to do business here, so they gave it to them without thinking about it.

So now, these lands have become a good thing for every inch of land.

On the Central side and the Admiralty side, there are two streets where Jardine Matheson & Co.

Although Yin Jun's Kirin Group has grown by leaps and bounds, it is still inferior to Jardine Matheson in Xiangjiang.

Niu Bijian is not only the head of Hongkong Land Company, but also the head of Jardine Matheson, which can be described as a high authority, and I am afraid that only the Governor and Shen Bi in Xiangjiang can suppress him.

Therefore, in the past, Niu Bijian was really rampant in Xiangjiang, and he was very arrogant at all.

Now, although he has fallen a lot, his arrogance has not diminished at all.

It is said that Niu Bijian's downfall is because in recent years, under the pressure of Chinese-funded companies, he has adopted the most radical way to fight back - greatly increasing investment, merging and appointing companies, and increasing the capacity of the head office group company.

So he bought a large number of companies and invested in many projects.

Among the acquisition companies, two are the most famous.

One is the Heung Kong Telephone Company.

At the end of last year, Hongkong Land acquired a 34.9% stake in Heung Kong Telephone Company at a sky-high price of 1.85 billion.

Then in April this year, they acquired a 34.9% stake in Heung Kong Electric at a higher price of 2.75 billion.

Together, the two transactions cost Hongkong Land HK$4.6 billion, which is enough to buy all the shares of Henderson Land and New World Development.

Under normal circumstances, both the Xiangjiang Telephone Company and the Xiangjiang Electric Light Company are very high-quality companies.

Both companies are very monopolistic industry hegemons.

Half of the electricity supplied by the Heung Kong Electric Company is supplied by the Kadoorie family's Chunghwa Power Company.

Heung Kong's industry and commerce are highly developed, and the amount of electricity consumed every day is almost astronomical.

In the future, the Kadoorie family relied on CLP Power as the cornerstone to achieve his great career as one of the top five richest people in Hong Kong.

According to conservative estimates, 34.9% of the shares of Heung Kong Electric Light Company will be worth more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars in the future, and it will not be a problem to exceed 50 billion at its peak.

Compared to the Heung Kong Electric Company, the Heung Kong Telephone Company is a more undervalued company.

It's not that because it's a complete monopoly, all of Xiangjiang's phones are operated by it, but also because of how huge the business and capacity of the mobile phone market in the future are, you can imagine how powerful it is.

Li Xiaochao just passed a PCCW, and his market value soared to 200 billion Hong Kong dollars, achieving the prestige of the famous little superman.

PCCW only accounts for one-third of Xiangjiang's mobile phone network.

Before him, until June 30, 1995, the patent of Heung Kong's telephone communication business was owned by the family of Heung Kong Telephone Company!

I don't dare to say that it can be worth 600 billion Hong Kong dollars, but before 1995, it reached 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, which was no problem at all.

The most important thing is that Yin Jun is not going to make a mobile phone?

Mobile phones happen to belong to the communication business, and they can't be separated from the Xiangjiang Telephone Company.

Therefore, if Yin Jun wants to experiment and develop mobile phones, he must also win the Xiangjiang Telephone Company.

Therefore, the boy only came here today to negotiate with Niu Bijian.

Does Niu Bijian know that the two companies he bought are two golden dolls?

Of course you do!

But the current situation is that Niu Bijian has to sell these two future golden dolls to survive his difficulties.

What's the difficulty?

This brings us to Hongkong Land's investment strategy.

Neuro has developed a radical development model and Hongkong Land has invested in a number of projects over the past two years.

If the market is good, it will naturally make a lot of money, but the problem is that they are unlucky, just when they encountered this sensitive collapse, not only all kinds of investment losses, but also the capital chain in their hands suddenly became very tight.

Now, according to the news disclosed, Hongkong Land must have lost more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in 1982 this year!!

Not only that, Hongkong Land's liabilities have reached 8.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, almost 20%, more than at any time in history.

That's not the most troublesome.

The most troublesome thing is that Hongkong Land has a huge project to do, and it is now at a critical juncture.

This is known as Exchange Square.

Exchange Square is scheduled to build three buildings, two with 52 floors and the last with 8 floors.

Its location is in the core of Central, next to the Heung Kong Station of the Hong Kong Island Line of the Hong Kong Subway, which has been determined, and the bus terminal is underground, which can be described as the king of the land.

The exchange of the later generations of Heung Kong Securities is also in its building.

For this Exchange Square project, Niu Bijian has put a lot of effort into it.

The investment in the first phase exceeded 700 million, and now when it comes to the payment of the second phase, it is not much, only about 500 million, but Hongkong Land has no money.

Not only this project, but also many of Hongkong Land's bonds are maturing, and the total payment amount will reach about HK$1.2 billion.

If we take into account the medium-term debt before June next year, I am afraid that another 500 million will have to be prepared.

The huge financial pressure of 1.7 billion Hong Kong dollars all of a sudden made Niu Bijian feel a headache.

and Standard Chartered Bank, the most hardcore bank of Hongkong Land, did not dare to lend to them easily, so they could only make up the money themselves.

The Xiangjiang Dadong Telegraph Office, which smelled the smell, had already come to quote, and the first offer was 1 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Niu Bijian refused without even thinking about it.

You're a bully!

It's been less than a year since we bought it, and you've reduced the value by nearly half to quote?

Even if we're a British company, you can't bully people like that, can you?

Although your Dadong Telegraph Office is doing a good job in the pager business, you shouldn't despise our real estate company, right?

The rejected Dadong Telegraph Office has not given up, and is still actively in contact with Hongkong Land, hoping to negotiate this deal.

However, because their offer is too far from the psychological price of Hongkong Land, there has been no progress until now.

The Dadong Telegraph Office was the least anxious, because the time for Hongkong Land's debts and money was coming up, and they were the ones who should panic.

Niu Bijian is indeed hesitating, doubting, and hesitating.

But he never expected that at this moment, a second potential buyer would appear.

It is the Kirin Group.

Three years ago, the newly established Kirin Culture, in front of Hongkong Land, was just an indecent little minion, and Niu Bijian was not qualified to take a look.

However, three years later, the Kirin Group has grown to the point where even Jardine Matheson has to pay attention.

Their total market capitalization is more than 20 billion, which is even higher than Hongkong Land.

For Yin Jun, Niu Bijian felt very complicated.

On the one hand, a genius like Yin Jun is indeed something that anyone will admire and be in awe.

Niu Bijian thinks that he is an excellent manager, but compared to Yin Jun, he thinks that he cannot surpass Yin Jun's talent.

Not everyone is a genius, and not every genius can be as amazing as Yin Jun.

On the other hand, Hongkong Land has suffered more than once in front of Yin Jun.

Whether it is in the business of Wharf or in other transactions, Nurbijian has never taken advantage.

Several failed confrontations made Niu Bijian very jealous of Yin Jun.

To be honest, if he hadn't been forced to do this, Niu Bijian would not have been willing to talk about business with Yin Jun.
