Seeing the water in front of the Yang House, it is called "Judang Water", and the other three sides see the mountains endlessly, forming the "Water Gathering Bureau", and Victoria Harbour is the most famous "Water Gathering Bureau" in Hong Kong.

Hutchison Building is located on the side of the Statue of the Queen's Plaza and the Peace Monument in Central, facing Victoria Harbour at 180 degrees. The square gate absorbs the air from the front water and the back mountain to achieve the harmony of yin and yang.

This feng shui mansion is the headquarters of the listed company Hutchison Whampoa Group. When Li Jiacheng acquired Hutchison Whampoa, some feng shui masters concluded that the Li family had a prosperous family business and a wide range of financial resources.

Of course, Hutchison could not have filled all 23 floors on its own, as it was home to many other well-known companies, such as HSBC's investment bank, Dorley Securities.

It is not difficult to apply for a brokerage license in Hong Kong, so there are many securities companies in Hong Kong, with a total of hundreds. These securities companies can be roughly divided into three categories, the first type is Chinese-funded securities firms, accounting for about seventy or eighty percent of the total. However, with the exception of a few large companies such as Sun Hung Kai Securities and Hang Seng Securities, most of the Chinese-funded securities companies are limited in scale.

The second category is British-funded securities, the most famous of which is HSBC's Victorious Company. Unlike Chinese-funded brokerages that like to operate flexibly with a small capital and focus on securities brokerage business, although the number of British-funded brokerages is much smaller, they are more like mainstream brokers. Most of them are engaged in securities brokerage business and investment banking business at the same time, and their research level on the Hong Kong stock market is much higher than that of Chinese-funded securities firms.

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

In the evening. Dozens of reporters blocked the elevator entrance of the Hutchison Building, but they did not go to the famous Torioli company in the building. Instead, they all flocked to another new company in obscurity. The new company, Asia Securities, moved into the Hutchison Building just a few months ago. Even most of the industry peers may not have heard of his name, but it is believed that from today onwards, Asia Securities' name will be widely known in Hong Kong.

In fact, Heung Kong Holdings has entrusted two companies, Victory Securities and Asia Securities, as agent brokers. And the general responsibility for this is not the prestigious Tori Securities, but the little-known Asian Securities.

Asia Securities sent invitations to major media in Hong Kong this afternoon, informing them that they would hold a special press Q&A session on the acquisition of Hongkong Land at 5 p.m. at Asia Securities' headquarters in Hutchison Building.

"Hello, I'm Xian Guoqiang, a reporter from Oriental Daily. May I ask if Li Sheng took the lead in the joint acquisition of Hongkong Land by the five bigwigs?" After the reporter's Q&A meeting officially began, a thin man with glasses found that he was the first to be clicked, and immediately stood up with some excitement and asked.

"Actually, I am the real initiator of this operation!" Zhuang Yuhai picked up the microphone and smiled heartily, his current identity is the chairman of Asia Securities Company, "Hehe, looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, they don't seem to believe it, but that's the case!"

In fact, as early as the establishment of Asia Securities. Our colleagues in the company's research department have already started to look at Hongkong Land and they are seeing that Hongkong Land is undervalued by the market. So when I had a chance to have dinner with Mr. Li Sheng, Mr. Hui Jiankui, and Mr. Lin Yuhao, I began to convince them to buy Hongkong Land.

Li Sheng: After listening carefully to my analysis of Hongkong Land. Gradually, I was convinced. After learning that Mr. Li Xuan was willing to join, the Xu family and the Lin family also began to be interested in my proposal. However, the focus of the development of the Eastern Bloc has always been on the high-tech field, and it is not ready to expand its front into the real estate industry. Therefore, Mr. Li Xuan only decided to use his other own funds to participate in this investment.

After Li Sheng, Lin Guitai and Xu Shixun discussed, they found that the three could mobilize funds. For the acquisition of such a giant company as Hongkong Land, it is still a bit stretched. So I invited Huo Yingdong and Guo Henian to join in!"

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

"This lady, what you did didn't conform to the rules we had set up in advance! I can make an exception this time, but if any reporter asks a random question without being named by the host, I will not only ignore it, but he will also lose the opportunity to be named tonight!

My relationship with Li Sheng is actually very simple, they are just friends, otherwise I would not have been able to eat with him! Of course, in addition, he also accepted Li Sheng's entrustment to help him manage some of his personal investments!" After Zhuang Yuhai finished speaking, he nodded to the host on the side, and motioned for him to name the next reporter to ask a question.

"Hello, I'm Gong Xueming, a reporter from Sing Tao Daily. There are rumors in the market that the acquisition is being promoted by the Chinese government, is this news true?"

"I don't know where you heard this rumor, but I can tell you with absolute certainty right now that the acquisition of Hongkong Land is a purely commercial act and has nothing to do with the Chinese authorities!

Even Mr. Fok Yingdong received a letter of HK$1 billion from Bank of China Hong Kong (Hong Kong) because of Fok Hye-yeong's good business reputation over the years. Moreover, in order to control its own risks, the Bank of China required Huo Sheng to provide a part of the assets for mortgage, so it has nothing to do with politics!

The reason why the five shareholders of the Hong Kong holding company are willing to spend a huge amount of money to acquire Hongkong Land is because everyone thinks that it is a deal worth trying and making money!" Zhuang Yuhai shook his head and said solemnly.

"Hello Zhuang Sheng, I'm Huang Ying, a reporter from Hong Kong Economic Journal! In recent months, Hong Kong public opinion has seen a series of reports unfavorable to the Jardine Matheson Group and Hongkong Land. May I ask if this is because Heung Kong Holdings Company is behind the instigation in order to lower the stock price of Hongkong Land? Is this a suspicion of market manipulation?"

The reporter's question was a bit sharp. Let the peers present suddenly get excited. People who run the news naturally have a first-class sense of smell, if everyone is still a little foggy before. There are already some smart people who can taste the clues.

Zhuang Yuhai naturally would never allow this kind of suspected illegal sewage to be splashed on his body. He didn't rush to answer. Instead, he paused for a moment and glanced confidently at every reporter present.

Then, he said unhurriedly: "On behalf of Heung Kong Holding Company, I would like to express my unacceptability to the malicious speculation and groundless accusations of the media friend of Hong Kong Economic Journal without any evidence!"

Heung Kong Holdings Company, as well as Asia Securities and Toll Securities, which were entrusted with the business, have strictly complied with the relevant provisions of the Securities Ordinance promulgated by the Legislative Council in 1974 throughout the acquisition of Hongkong Land.

As for the recent emergence in the Hong Kong market, a series of public opinion criticizing Jardine Matheson Group. I don't think there's anything to make a fuss about! This is entirely due to the failure of the top management of Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land, led by the Keswick family, to manage the company well.

Friends in the media should also pay attention to the fact that most of the criticism of Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land appeared only after the two companies successively released a new half-year results announcement at the end of October last year. The financial statements given by the two companies not only lag behind their peers in the industry, but also fall short of previous market expectations, which will naturally attract doubts!

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

Hongkong Land is a Hongkong land. For those who are in a hurry to escape, what we should do is to be convenient with people. Hongkong Land's large real estate in Central, these are impossible to move out of Hong Kong. So I'm here to advise the Keswicks. It's better to take advantage of the opportunity that we are willing to buy all of them and simply discount the equity, because cash is easier to transfer!

Of course, we must also thank Hongkong Land's management. It is precisely because of their incompetence that we have been in the recent sharp fluctuations in Hongkong Land's stock price. It's easy to get 24.5% of the shares!"

While Zhuang Yuhai clarified his own involvement in righteous words, he did not forget to satirize the senior management of the Jardine Department. Capital is bloody and sinful, and his previous actions are actually definitely suspected of manipulating Hongkong Land's stock price. However, with the current level of supervision of Hong Kong's securities market, even if an investigation is carried out, it is impossible to catch any leverage of Heung Kong Holdings.

In the previous series of articles and reports attacking Jardine Matheson, only a small part of them were quietly released by him, and most of the rest were followed by various media outlets. Rather than smaller-known companies, journalists are more willing to grasp the handles 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 system some time ago, but only two of them are really related to Zhuang Yuhai.

And every article released by Zhuang Yuhai is substantial, not groundless malicious slander, and the author can completely refute it with the grounds of academic controversy.

In fact, the effect of this public opinion attack was far more perfect than Zhuang Yuhai had predicted in advance. And a large part of this is also because the top management of the Jardine Matheson Group is too arrogant. When the unfavorable public opinion just came out, Jardine Matheson Group did not make public relations in time, but chose to be dismissive. So much so that under the secret promotion of Zhuang Yuhai, this kind of public opinion attack has formed a trend.

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

And these people present, Liu Ruanxiong all knew each other. The task sitting on Li Xuan's left hand side was majestic in the Hong Kong stock market a few years ago, and was praised by the newspaper as a "gold medal bookmaker".

It's just that this strange man in the stock market is because he sits in the Jianing Group for Chen Songqing, a mysterious wealthy businessman in Nanyang, and the myth of Jianing was completely punctured in the real estate crisis of 82 years, Chen Songqing himself was imprisoned for fraud, and Zhan Peizong, the "gold medal dealer", was also affected and his reputation was discredited. Liu Ruanxiong heard that he had immigrated to Canada, but he didn't 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 said hello to everyone, and walked to the vacant seat next to Zhan Peizong and sat down.

"After all, the territory of the ghost guy is not suitable for us Chinese to live in for a long time, I still think that Hong Kong is good, so I ran back again!" Zhan Peizong smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

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

Liu Yuenxiong also knew this figure, but he is also the dean of the Faculty of Business Administration of CUHK and the dean of the Asian Economic Research Institute.

"You are not Bole, how can you know if I am a good horse or a bad horse!" Zhan Peizong also smiled and retorted.

"Zhan Sheng is naturally a rare maxima in the Hong Kong securities industry, presumably after a while, Dean Huo, you will be convinced!" Li Xuan opened his mouth to support Zhan Peizong.

"Did you hear it, Li Sheng is the real Bole!" Zhan Peizong laughed.

Huo Qiuxing glanced at Li Xuan curiously, waiting for his continued answer.

"Zhan Sheng recently aimed at a company, and he was ready to play a unique trick of turning decay into magic!" Li Xuan said with a smile, but did not elaborate.

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

Liu Ruanxiong listened to the conversation and laughter of several people next to him, and felt that he had inadvertently entered a higher-level circle. For example, like Zhan Peizong, he accumulated more than 100 million fortunes by speculating in stocks a few years ago.

Although Huo Qiuxing is not a businessman with a huge fortune, the Asian Economic Research Institute, where he is the president, is now not only a well-known think tank in Hong Kong, but also in the whole of Asia.

The Asian Economic Research Institute is the Oriental Economic Research Institute a few years ago, and it was originally a decision-making think tank established by Li Xuan for the Eastern Group. But it began 83 years ago, breaking away from the Eastern Bloc to become a non-profit public think tank. (To be continued......)
