"Brother Yu Gang, you are still immortal, this one is firmly on the green, and there is a chance to catch a birdie!" Li Jiacheng praised Bao Yugang beside him, and then took the iron from the caddie and prepared for his next tee.

Li Jiacheng first stood aside and tried to swing a few times, looking for the feeling of swinging, and then stood on the tee-off, set the ball, and made a fierce blow. His shot had a high parabolic arc, but the distance was a little insufficient, and finally landed in the grass-producing area by the green, which was much worse than Bao Yugang, who had stopped at the edge of the hole before.

Li Jiacheng couldn't help but shake his head, not too satisfied with his shot. He handed the club back to the caddie next to him, and then walked along the fairway on the course with Bao Yugang towards the landing point of the green.

Li Ka-shing loves to play golf, which is a well-known thing in Hong Kong. It is said that one of the biggest reasons why he chose to make his home in Deep Water Bay is that it is the only golf course on Hong Kong Island. Every morning when he wakes up, he drives to the Deep Water Bay Golf Course near his home and plays golf for an hour.

"Brother Yu Gang, it is reported that the north side seems to be not very satisfied with Ling Ai and his wife!" Li Jiacheng said casually as if chatting. He asked Bao Yu Gang to play with him today, naturally not purely to catch up.

Bao Yugang frowned, he understood what Li Jiacheng was referring to. After the political and political turmoil in the mainland last year, Hong Kong was also in a state of panic, and many people were worried about the prospects after the handover. As a result, some people began to hatch a new idea in private, and after the return of '97, the Hong Kong people would continue to "rent" Hong Kong from the central government at their own expense.

For this reason, since the second half of last year, many people have begun to test Beijing, including Bao Yugang's eldest daughter and his wife. Bao Yugang's eldest son-in-law, Su Haiwen, is an Austrian, and as a European, he can naturally gain the closeness of the British-funded consortium. Bao Yugang is one of the richest Hong Kong tycoons who has the closest relationship with the central government in Beijing and Beijing, except for Huo Yingdong.

Therefore, Su Haiwen and his wife were selected by many consortia in Hong Kong as candidates for interviews and visits to the mainland. In fact, this is a reproduction of the original British "exchanging sovereignty for governing power," and naturally it is impossible for the mainland side to agree to it.

But Su Haiwen's private temptation was somehow known to the Hong Kong media, so it made the headlines of major newspapers. The mainland naturally had to react to this, so Su Haiwen was criticized by some **** newspapers as a typical example of the political incorrectness of "selling Hong Kong for glory".

In another time and space, when the first chief executive was elected after the establishment of the SAR government, there were two people who were interested in running for election. One is the eldest son of King Dong Chuan, while the other is the second son-in-law of King Charter. In terms of political influence, the charter boat king can throw Dong Chuanwang out of a few streets, and his circle of friends includes the prime minister of Japan, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, the president of France, and the president of Argentina.

But in this key duel between the second generation of the two ship king families, it was the Dong family that won in the end. To a certain extent, the second son-in-law of the charter boat king was actually dragged down by his brother-in-law, which made the central high-level have certain doubts about whether the Bao family can adhere to political correctness.

"Brother Yu Gang, when I attended the Xu family's wedding banquet with Li Sheng, the God of Wealth, Li Sheng revealed some ideas, he is ready to promote the construction of cheap public housing in Hong Kong, which is not good news for us!" Li Jiacheng continued.

"Oh, God of Wealth Li, this is a thankless task!" Bao Yugang said noncommittally.

"Yes, but Li Jiacheng, the God of Wealth, feels that Hong Kong's housing prices are rising too fast, forcing the entire Hong Kong society to generate inflation, pushing up Hong Kong's labor costs, and damaging the competitiveness of Hong Kong's industry!" Li Jiacheng also shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Haha, his suggestion is quite interesting, while constantly taking the initiative to raise the wages of employees, turning his Oriental Group into the most popular enterprise in Hong Kong, but on the other hand, he said that Hong Kong's labor costs are too high!" Bao Yugang said with some amusement.

Oriental Group is a well-known company in Hong Kong that is willing to pay high salaries, and the average salary level is nearly half higher than that of other companies in Hong Kong. So when Bao Yugang heard that the God of Wealth Li thought that Hong Kong's wages were too high, he had a feeling of irony.

"Who makes the family the God of Wealth Li!" Li Jiacheng said leisurely.

Not long ago, "Hong Kong Political and Economic Weekly" launched a list of Hong Kong's billionaires, in which Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang ranked second and fifth with 18.5 billion and 9 billion Hong Kong dollars respectively. According to the estimation of "Hong Kong Political and Economic Weekly", Li Xuan's personal wealth is converted into Hong Kong dollars as high as 130 billion. The total wealth from the second to the 15th on the list is only 135 billion Hong Kong dollars, which means that Li Xuan's strength alone is worthy of the top 15 wealthy families in Hong Kong except him.

Although he is the God of Wealth Li, Li Jiacheng's words contain a lot of helplessness. Li Xuan has reached the point where he can stoning other rich people in Hong Kong to death with just money, and fortunately he didn't do things perfectly. Otherwise, if the Oriental Group also enters Hong Kong's real estate industry, other companies will have no power to resist at all.

One of the most striking examples is Hongkong Land, which Li Xuan snatched from Jardine with a large amount of cash. Although Li Xuan's other allies participated in the acquisition at the beginning, it cannot be said that Li Xuan single-handedly overturned the century-old Hong Kong store - Jardine Matheson.

But what should be seen more is that in the original acquisition of Hongkong Land, Li Xuan didn't even need to mobilize the funds of the Oriental Group, and only used the investment fund under his name to get things done. If Li Xuan really has to mobilize the strength of the entire Oriental Group for primary purposes, then no other company in the Hong Kong stock market will have the confidence to escape from the clutches of the Oriental Group except for those companies in which the majority shareholder has absolute controlling interest.

"Li hopes that the God of Wealth will come forward by our real estate community and say that the Hong Kong government will increase the annual land supply index, so as to control the growth rate of housing prices by adjusting the supply and demand of commercial housing!" Li Jiacheng explained.

"This matter is not easy to operate, not only to move the Hong Kong government, but also to move the Beijing government!" Bao Yugang said with a quiet glance at Li Jiacheng.

"Yes, so unless we first unify our opinions within the real estate community, and then collectively issue an initiative to the Hong Kong government and the central government in Beijing, we can hope to attract enough attention!" Li Jiacheng nodded and said.

According to relevant statistics, the total market value of the top 10 listed real estate companies in Hong Kong is as high as HK$125 billion, accounting for one-fifth of the total market value of all listed companies on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. After Hongkong Land was forcibly acquired by Li Xuan, these ten listed real estate companies have all been Chinese-owned, and if this force can be gathered, it does have the strength to make the Hong Kong government and the mainland central government pay attention.

"Increasing the supply of land means that the market competition is more intense, which is more than worth the loss for all real estate companies!" Bao Yugang wondered why Li Ka-shing, who has always kept a low profile, was so enthusiastic about this matter.

"Li's proposal is not limited to this, in order to say that the Beijing-Beijing side can agree to the proposal of liberalizing the land use index, he also proposed that the income from the sale of land in this part of the index can be used as a special fund to build cheap public rental housing, so as to achieve a two-pronged approach!" Li Jiacheng said with a wry smile.

"God of Wealth Li, this is going to play a combination box!" Bao Yugang said in a low voice.

"Brother Yu Gang, I also know that if we do what the God of Wealth Li envisions, we will have a much more difficult life in the future! But as I said before, people are the God of Wealth Li, even if we don't want to, they have the capital to directly lift the table and start a new stove by ourselves!

Rather than when everyone can't get off the stage, we might as well enter the game ahead of schedule now, so that we can at least grasp some more initiative, so that the whole operation will not completely develop in a direction that is not favorable to us!" Li Jiacheng said with a sigh.

If we don't play according to his rules of the game, we will surely soon stand in opposition to the six million citizens of Hong Kong in the midst of public opinion! Li Li, the god of wealth, has become more and more proficient in this method of asking for the lives of the people! Bao Yugang soon discovered some clues laid down by Li Xuan.

"Brother Yu Gang, I won't tell you anything, before I asked you to play golf, the Huo family, the Lin family, the Xu family, as well as Guo Desheng and Li Zhaoji had all been persuaded by the God of Wealth Li!" Li Jiacheng broke the news softly.

"I haven't heard of any intersection between Guo and Li and the Oriental Group before?" Bao Yugang's eyes flashed with a hint of color. He was not surprised by the choice of the first three, but the choice of Guo Desheng and Li Zhaoji made him very puzzled.

Guo Desheng and Li Zhaoji can rank 4th and 8th respectively on the list of Hong Kong's richest people, and more importantly, the two have been friends for decades, good enough to wear the same pair of pants. The Guo and Li families have always watched over each other, even if Li Xuan is better in terms of wealth, it is not easy to subdue the two at the same time.

"Brother Yu Gang, Li Zhaoji's Henderson Development and Kwok Tak-sheng's Sun Hung Kai Properties are all big players in acquiring the New Territories land exchange rights and interests! And now no one in Hong Kong knows that if you want to maximize your interests in the development of the New Territories, the best way is to have a good relationship with the Oriental Bloc!" Li Jiacheng said sharply.

Bao Yugang, who was half a step behind him, immediately came back to his senses, and glanced up at Li Jiacheng beside him, with a smile on his face. Because the R&D center of the Oriental Research Institute is located in Shatin, the property prices in Shatin have skyrocketed in recent years. Due to the launch of the Tin Shui Wai Electronic Industrial Park, housing prices in the surrounding Yuen Long District have also begun to rise rapidly.

Li Ka Shing is the real estate developer who has benefited the most from the Tin Shui Wai Electronic Industrial Park, and the large amount of land that Cheung Kong Group has hoarded in Yuen Long has suddenly skyrocketed in value because of the large number of popularity brought by the Tin Shui Wai Electronic Industrial Park!

The land planning of Tin Shui Wai Electronic Industrial Park has been basically exhausted in the early stage, and the location of the new park in the future will directly determine where it will become a new development hotspot for the entire New Territories. Therefore, if Hong Kong real estate developers can know the planning and layout of the Oriental Group in advance and hoard land around the site of the industrial zone, they can reap a lot of dividends!

According to Li Jiacheng's prompt, Bao Yugang immediately sorted out the entanglement of interests behind it. Cheung Kong Group has already tasted the sweetness in Yuen Long, and Li Jiacheng is naturally unwilling to give up the opportunity behind, so he takes the initiative to take on the responsibility of convincing himself. Guo Desheng and Li Zhaoji, who own a lot of land in the New Territories, wanted to become Li Jiacheng's second, so they hit it off and took the olive branch handed by Li Jiacheng, the God of Wealth.

This is Li Xuan's power, the growing influence of the Oriental Group on the entire Hong Kong economy naturally radiates to the real estate industry, and he has stood at the height of having the right to determine the entire interest pattern. When Bao Yu first thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration for the young man who felt that he was standing.

And when Li Jiacheng asked Bao Yu to play at the Deep Water Bay Golf Club, another Hong Kong tycoon was not idle. New World Group's "Shark Guts" has not been very comfortable in the recent period.

At the beginning of last year, Zheng Yutong's friend Feng Jingxi died suddenly, which made Zheng Yutong think a lot at once, and decided to hand over the family business to his eldest son to take care of, and he began to enjoy his old age in peace. But his son, Zheng Jiachun, was apparently still too young, and immediately after taking over the New World Group, he began a series of aggressive acquisitions.

In less than a year, New World Group's liabilities soared from HK$3 billion to HK$9 billion in a series of large-scale investments and mergers and acquisitions by Zheng Jiachun. Most of the new assets that Zheng Jiachun mainly acquired were either losing money or making profits that were not as expected.

This made New World Group's just-released annual financial report very ugly, and the resulting knock-on effect was that the stock price plummeted, and then the capital market began to pesthe the prospects of New World Group, and even banks began to reassess New World Group's financial risks. Zheng Yutong saw that the situation was getting more and more severe, so he had to go back out of the mountain to preside over the overall situation and appease people's hearts.

"Zheng Sheng, Jiahua Bank agreed to provide us with an emergency grant of 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and as for the long-term trust in the later stage, Jiahua said that it can also be discussed! By the way, Li Sheng's secretary of the Oriental Group called in the morning, and Li Sheng asked you to have dinner together when you are free!" Zheng Yutong's secretary reported.

"Li Sheng asked me to dinner?" Zheng Yutong glanced at the secretary, saw the other party nodded in confirmation, and then continued: "You help me reply to Li Sheng, I am free at any time!"

"Forget it, I'll call him myself later! You tell Jiachun to convene the company's management and have a meeting in five minutes!" Zheng Yutong thought about it and changed his mind again.

Due to the previous large acquisitions, New World Group has recently experienced cash flow constraints. As New World Group's performance fell short of market expectations, the company's share price plummeted, causing several banks with close ties to New World Group to hesitate to lend money.

Therefore, Zheng Yutong simply sent people to contact other banks in Hong Kong, after all, with his and New World signboards, even if he is in a certain predicament now, it is not difficult to raise hundreds of millions of funds.

It's just that Zheng Yutong listened to the report of his secretary just now, and couldn't help but guess that Jiahua Bank's response was so fast, was it related to the God of Wealth Li? )
