『Chapter error, click here to report』

I do not know what kind of person I am in the eyes of others, but in my own eyes I am like a child playing on the seashore, complacent at the occasional discovery of a pebble smoother than usual, or a shell more beautiful than usual, and without the vast ocean of truth that lies before us, if I have seen farther than others, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants.

Whether it is in business, politics, culture, or science, we are all inheriting or pioneering on the basis of our predecessors.

Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business inspected and exchanged, and was able to let himself go, Xi Ming felt that although Professor Pan was a little dull and a little stupid, he was still a good person.

It's a great opportunity.

When he went to Hong Kong, if he could communicate a few words with the giant Li Ka-shing, he felt that he would definitely benefit a lot.

Li Ka-shing is not only the richest man in Hong Kong, but also a giant among Chinese businessmen.

Li Ka-shing is the businessman that Xi Ming admires the most, there is no one, he exists as an epoch-making businessman.

Xi Ming admires his courage quotient the most, Li Ka-shing can face difficulties when encountering difficult problems, and is a big businessman who combines courage and strategy, he often admonishes his two sons, although a person only has the courage to create a piece of the world in this era, but in keeping things done, courage alone is far from enough, but also strategy, in many cases, strategy is often much more important than courage.

This is very much in line with the current situation of Ximing.

Xi Ming admires Li Ka-shing very much.

A man who began his apprenticeship at the age of 12 and took on the burden of a family's life before the age of 15 never received a formal education again, but built a giant consortium.

In recent years, the mainland's economy has developed rapidly, the market value of many companies has increased rapidly, and personal wealth has leaped rapidly, Li Ka-shing has been surpassed by Ma Yun, Wang Jianlin, Ma Huateng and other rookies in book value, but Wang Jianlin, Ma Yun, Ma Huateng is no one who dares to say that he has completely defeated Li Ka-shing, who started with real estate, in addition to them, no entrepreneur in the mainland dares to say that he has truly surpassed Li Ka-shing.

Unlike the rising stars Ma Yun in 2000, Ma Huateng, and Xi Ming feel that many of Li Ka-shing's stories are not well understood by many people due to their age.

The reason why Li Ka-shing is different from Ma Yun, Ma Huateng, Wang Jianlin, he is a model of the current situation to create heroes, he is the best at seizing the opportunities of the times of entrepreneurs, in the long 50 years of business experience, he has completed five beautiful bottom-buying behaviors, accumulated huge assets, and laid out the world.

In 1965, the Hong Kong financial crisis, for a time everyone was in danger, the housing market plummeted, in the British colony under the Hong Kong Island outbreak of the anti-sun empire Britain riots, for a time the real estate company closed its doors and went bankrupt, but Li Ka-shing believes that Hong Kong, where there are many people and little land, must be the world of real estate in the future, he took advantage of the low to buy a large number of land and buildings, three years later the Hong Kong Island government strongly intervened in the real estate market, Hong Kong's economic recovery, Li Ka-shing's acquisition of land and real estate prices doubled, Li Ka-shing made a lot of money.

In 1973, when the war in the Middle East and the oil crisis dragged down the global economy, Hong Kong's economy fell into a downturn again, and Li Ka-shing once again bought a large amount of land at a low price.

In the 90s, Li Ka-shing began to buy Europe, when he sold the European mobile operator Orange, the third largest telecommunications provider, after he operated, got rid of the debt crisis, and sold it at a shocking price in 2000, with a total transaction price of 160 billion yuan. It became the most profitable transaction in Li Ka-shing's career.

In 2008, the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States plunged the entire European and American economies into a downturn. Li Ka-shing once again bought Europe, this time he made a move of 390 billion, which is only an investment in the UK. Today, his company controls nearly 30% of the UK's natural gas market, a quarter of the electricity distribution market and about 5% of the water supply market, and has been exaggerated as buying the UK!

What a high rating!

In 2016, Li Ka-shing sold his mainland real estate when China's real estate was the hottest, and he made a lot of money, and in 2017, Huaxia began the strictest regulation in history, the house is for living, not for speculation, and the house price has entered a downward channel, and he has been at the highest point.

……

Li Ka-shing's most classic battle, the foundation of the business leadership battle, in 1978, Li Ka-shing made a surprising plan to sell 10 million shares of Wharf stock for 20% below the market value The price was transferred to the Chinese businessman Bao Yugang at that time, and Bao Yugang added the original Wharf shares to become the largest loner in Wharf, so that he could openly bid for Wharf with Jardine Matheson, and Li Ka-shing made a profit of more than 300 million yuan by transferring Wharf shares, and obtained 90 million shares of Hutchison Whampoa from HSBC through Pao Yugang, so that the owner of Wharf became Pao Yugang, and the owner of another British-funded company, Hutchison Whampoa, became Li Ka-shing.

The "joint venture", which was regarded as a legend by the market outlook, directly directed Wharf from a British-funded giant to a family business of the ship king, and became a Chinese asset, and indirectly contributed to Li Chaoren's successful annexation of another British-funded giant "Hutchison Whampoa", which made the British-funded power structure in Hong Kong gradually collapse.

That battle can be said to be the beginning of a comprehensive counterattack by Chinese businessmen against British businessmen in Hong Kong, and it also laid the foundation for today's wealthy families in the Chinese business community.

That battle, let many people understand why Ma Yun is still difficult to surpass Li Ka-shing, Li Ka-shing in that era shopping malls like a battlefield, their business is not only related to their own wealth, but also related to the loss of high-quality assets of the country, on the contrary, today's China is all Internet companies, the major shareholders behind are foreigners, now Alibaba's market value is more than 450 billion US dollars, profits in China tens of billions of dollars a year, nominally Ma Yun is its controller, but the largest shareholders are islanders, Japanese Softbank, Masayoshi Son and the United States Yahoo。

So Ma Yun has long said that there is no second Li Ka-shing in today's era, although he has been behind the scenes since 98 years.

In terms of nominal prestige, Ma Yun and Wang Jianlin cannot be compared with Li Ka-shing.

Good at seizing opportunities in the midst of crises, this is Li Ka-shing's strongest ability, Alibaba has been established for 18 years, and whether it can still stand in the next 30 years, it is impossible to know, but Li Ka-shing's company has been standing for more than 50 years and has gone through several eras, which is why Ma Yun and Wang Jianlin Ma Huateng are still too tender in front of Li Ka-shing.

Li Ka-shing did not come through time, but he can complete beautiful business operations every time, and he can always buy when the economy is at a low tide and sell at the best time......

Li Ka-shing has a wisdom across time and space, just like a prophet, and the person he admires most today is him, he has made unimaginable wealth through the prophet, and now that the prophet is gone, how he hopes that he can once again obtain the wisdom of an uncertain prophet like Li Ka-shing.

This is something that is almost impossible to learn, but Xi Ming feels that this is a good learning opportunity, to get close to Li Ka-shing and his Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, how to keep the success, open up, and appreciate the light of the wisdom of giants, which is a good opportunity to use people as a mirror.

So when he goes to Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, he wants to go to the cliff, not to be a fool, such a good opportunity to step on Li Ka-shing's "shoulder" to study......

That's a Chinese man who "bought" most of the UK!
