On this day, "Tian Tian Daily" and "Hong Kong Daily" took the lead in reporting two news, the first is that the chairman of the board of directors of Cheung Kong transferred 3.8% of the shares of Cheung Kong to Wei Xiong and the chairman of the board of directors of Fok Yingdong Group Fok Yingdong transferred 7.7% of the shares of Fok Yingdong Group to Wei Xiong.

Article 2, Wei Xiong, Li Ka-shing, Fok Yingdong, and Ho Hongsen jointly established a joint investment company with an initial capital of 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars.

It immediately attracted the attention of many people.

And the shares of Cheung Kong and Fok Yingdong Group also rose all the way after the opening, as Li Ka-shing and Fok Yingdong thought before.

Weixiong's investment has brought great confidence to many small investors.

By the end of the afternoon, Cheung Kong's market value was up 5.9 percent, and the market value of Fok Ying Dong Group was up 6.2 percent, more than the sum of the gains over the past three months.

Leaving many stunned.

It also made everyone see the strong appeal of Wei Xiong.

And with the reports of "Tian Tian Daily" and "Hong Kong Daily", other media have also reported on it, because this is not a simple cooperation.

Needless to say, Wei Xiong,

His personal assets far exceed Hong Kong's annual GDP, his industries are all over the world, and he is a veritable hegemon in Hong Kong's entertainment industry.

It is also the idol and pride of Hong Kong people.

Next, let's talk about Li Ka-shing, known to Hong Kongers as 'Li Chaoren', whose assets of Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa are spread all over the world.

In Hong Kong alone, there are more than 200,000 employees.

And almost all walks of life, Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa are involved. It can be said that Hong Kong people are inseparable from Li Ka-shing every day for eating, drinking, and lazing.

Let's talk about Ho Hongsen.

It is the world-famous 'Macau gambling king', and its subsidiary, Macau Gaming Holdings Limited, has the only legal casino license in Macau.

In addition, the He family is also a wealthy family in Hong Kong and Macao.

As early as the end of the 19th century, the Ho family was the richest man in Hong Kong, and after three generations, it is still prosperous, and the family is talented in all aspects.

In the generation of Stanley Ho.

In addition to the famous gambling king Ho Hongsen, there are many famous people.

For example, Ho Hongzhang, who is also a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong (the grandson of Ho Hung-sen's grandfather Ho Fu's brother Ho Dong, and Ho Hongsen should be counted as cousins).

and the famous Hong Kong journalist Ho Hung Yi (Ho Dong's grandson).

Finally, there's one more interesting one.

It's Bruce Lee.

His mother is the daughter of Ho Hung-sen's grandfather Ho Fu's younger brother Ho Kam Tong, which means that Stanley Ho and Bruce Lee are not only the same generation, but also cousins.

Finally, there is Huo Yingdong.

Due to the suppression of Britain and Western countries, Fok Yingdong may be slightly inferior to Li Ka-shing and Ho Hongsen in terms of financial resources.

But he has a mainland background.

He is highly regarded by the top leadership of the mainland.

Now that Hong Kong's return to the motherland is a foregone conclusion, Fok Yingdong, who has a deep red background in the future, will surely increase his influence greatly, and his financial resources will naturally increase.

To put it mildly.

Wei Xiong, Li Ka-shing, Stanley Ho and Fok Ying-tung, almost all of Hong Kong's top richest people, all have a pivotal position.

Today, the four of them have set up a joint venture investment company.

Nature attracts the eye.

So when the news broke that the joint investment company would hold a press conference, reporters from all walks of life in Hong Kong flocked to it in the shortest possible time.

Except for local Hong Kong journalists.

There are also many journalists from Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States.

The huge press conference hall was crowded half an hour before the start of the press conference, and everyone who knew each other was talking about it.

"Do you think Wei Xiong, Li Ka-shing, Stanley Ho and Fok Yingdong will all appear today?"

"I think so. ”

"It's hard to say, Wei Xiong won't talk about it, Li Ka-shing and the three of them are usually very low-key people, and they rarely accept interviews with reporters. ”

"This time it's different, and I think it should happen. ”

"I think so too, but how could the four of them set up a joint venture investment company? It should be regarded as Li Ka-shing and the three of them hitchhiking, right?"

"Wei Xiong's investment ability is well recognized. ”

"There are more rich people in Hong Kong who want to cooperate with him, but Wei Xiong is not short of funds, and there is no need to bring others to make money together. ”

"I guess this time I will cooperate with Li Ka-shing and them because of human affection. ”

"Let's talk about He Hongsen first, the future Lord Taishan, he must not give face. Speaking of Huo Yingdong, it is said that he has a good personal relationship with Wei Xiong's father. ”

"Li Ka-shing's personal relationship with Wei Xiong may not be too deep. ”

"But isn't it a transfer of Cheung Kong's shares to Wei Xiong. ”

"What you say makes sense, but I don't know if you have noticed that the investment amount of the joint investment company is 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. ”

"What's wrong with that?"

"Of course, there is a problem, if the shares of the four people are divided equally, then the investment amount should be the same, but 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars cannot be averaged. ”

"So is it possible that Wei Xiong invested a smaller amount. ”

"For example, Li Ka-shing, Fok Yingdong and Ho Hongsen each invested 1 billion, and Wei Xiong invested 500 million, the difference of 500 million is a concession to invite Wei Xiong to join?"

"yes, I didn't think of that. ”

"Don't say it, people are coming. ”

The person who was talking with his head down immediately raised his head and looked at the rostrum.

I saw a middle-aged man walk up to the rostrum:

"All reporters are welcome to attend the press conference on the listing of the United Investment Company, and now I have the four shareholders of the United Investment Company.

The voice fell

Everyone saw Wei Xiong, Li Ka-shing, Huo Yingdong, and Ho Hongsen walking out of a door on the left side of the hall, and Huo Yingdong walked in the front.

This was followed by Stanley Ho, followed by Li Ka-shing.

Wei Xiong walked last.

In an instant, the photographers who had been waiting for a long time pressed the shutter of the camera in their hands one after another, and there was a click and a click.

The cameras of Phoenix Satellite TV, TVB, ATV and other TV stations also turned their lenses.

Wait for the four of them to sit down on the podium.

The host spoke again: "At 10:10 this morning, the joint investment company has been officially established in the HSBC Building. ”

"The company adopts a joint-stock system and does not accept social funds for the time being. ”

At present, there are four shareholders, namely Mr. Wei Xiong, Mr. Li Ka-shing, Mr. Stanley Ho and Mr. Fok Yingdong, and Mr. Wei serves as the chairman of the board. ”

"And I'm the president of the company. ”

Huang Jiankun, who was previously the director of the investment department of Cheung Kong Industrial, will serve as the president of United Investment in the future. ”

"Now I would like to invite Mr. Wei to say a few words. ”

Originally, Wei Xiong did not want to be the chairman of the board of directors, but Li Ka-shing and the three agreed that he was the most suitable to serve as the chairman, so he avoided it.

As for the president.

He did not express an opinion, since he is the chairman of the board of directors, the position of president must be ceded, and he cannot be allowed to occupy all the benefits.

After some discussion,

It was decided to be nominated by Li Ka-shing.

And the person nominated by Li Ka-shing is this Huang Jiankun, who previously served as the director of the investment department of Cheung Kong, and can be described as Li Ka-shing's right-hand man.

In the end, of course, the nomination passed.

After all, there is no problem with the ability of those who can serve as the director of the investment department of Cheung Kong, and in addition, they all believe in Li Ka-shing's personality.

Wei Xiong lowered the microphone a bit.

He smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I've faced so many reporters, so I'm a little nervous." ”

"Hehehe......"

Everyone at the scene didn't expect Wei Xiong's first sentence to be this, and a burst of chuckles suddenly sounded in the hall, and even Li Ka-shing and the others laughed dumbly.

"Actually, I don't have much to say. ”

"The joint investment company was a joint venture between me and three of my predecessors in Hong Kong shopping malls, and I only have one thing to say: its money is bright. ”

"Notice that the former is not the 'front' of the front, but the 'money' of money. ”

Next, Li Ka-shing and the three of them all spoke a few short words, and Huang Jiankun, who acted as the host, announced that he would enter the reporter's question session.

"Just Phoenix TV. ”

Although Huang Jiankun was not instructed,

But he also knows which units of reporters should be taken care of.

"I would like to ask Mr. Wei. ”

"You already have an investment company under your name, and it's done very successfully, why would you want to set up a new investment company with someone else?"

Wei Xiong knew that reporters would ask this question,

So I already have a draft in my heart.

"A lot of people think I'm a great investor, but there is no such thing as an eternally successful investor, no matter what kind of investment you have. ”

"The main purpose of setting up a new investment company in a joint venture with someone else is to share the risk. ”

"Everyone understands that you can't put your eggs in one basket. ”

"Of course, Hong Kong, as an economically developed international metropolis, will continue to grow economically in the next few years and for the foreseeable future. ”

"In this case,"

"It is also a very important reason to be able to deepen cooperation with several seniors who have strong strength and important positions in the Hong Kong economy. ”

"Does it mean that you will strengthen your investment in Hong Kong in the future? ”

"Of course, there is no doubt about it. ”

The second journalist to be questioned was the Daily Daily.

"Mr. Li, is your transfer of 3.8% of Cheung Kong shares to Mr. Wei related to this cooperation?

"The transfer of Cheung Kong's shares to Mr. Wei and the United Investment Company was discussed at a charity auction not long ago. ”

"But there is no direct link between the two. ”

"As a listed company, any investor is welcome, and a high-quality investor like Mr. Wei is even more welcome. ”

"The reaction of the stock market is the best proof of this. ”

"In fact, in addition to the 3.8% stake I transferred, Mr. Wei is currently acquiring in the stock market, which shows that he is very optimistic about the prospects of Cheung Kong. ”

"As for the proportion of capital contribution and the proportion of shares. ”

Li Ka-shing smiled.

"I won't talk about the proportion of capital contribution, the shares are the same for our four shareholders. ”

The third reporter to ask a question was from Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao.

"Hello, Mr. Huo, there is news that this cooperation can be successful because you are in the middle of the front bridge, I wonder if it's true?"

"In addition, regarding the proportion of capital contribution, some people speculate that you will each contribute 1 billion,"

And Mr. Wei only gave 500 million. ”

"The difference of 500 million is a concession given by you, Mr. Li and Mr. He to invite Mr. Wei to join, can you confirm it for us. ”

"I think Ah Xiong's idea is more than 500 million, let alone inviting him to cooperate. ”

Huo Yingdong directly gave a rather domineering response.

"Hello Mr. He, it is rumored that you have a close relationship with a female employee named Liang Anqi at Lisboa Casino, and you often take her with you to various occasions. ”

"It's almost your regular dance partner. ”

"I heard that she recently opened a dance studio. ”

"Do you have any intention of accepting this Miss Liang as the fourth wife?"

"In addition, your daughter He Chaoqiong is Mr. Wei's girlfriend, and you will be one of the participants in this cooperation, is it related to this relationship?"

"Also, do you support He Chaoqiong and Mr. Wei?"

"Hehe, this reporter asks a bit of a lot of questions. ”

Although he said this, He Hongsen did not say that he would not answer, but he smiled and said: "Regarding my private life, I have always been very low-key,"

"I won't answer your first question, I'll see for myself later. ”

"Before Arjun and Ah Xiong officially dated, Brother Hongdao, that is, Ah Xiong's father, and I have been old friends for more than ten years. ”

"So your second question doesn't hold up at all. ”

"Last question, although I am not young now, I am still very open-minded, and I usually let them decide their own affairs. ”

"No deliberate interference. ”

"Mr. Wei, Huang Yulang has filed an appeal against the defamation infringement case, what do you think about this?"

"In accordance with the judicial procedures of Hong Kong. ”

Wei Xiong shrugged his shoulders.

But Mr. Wong's lawyer has publicly stated that it is absurd for the jury to use the unborn child as a reference in determining the amount of compensation. ”

"Do you think that's appropriate?"

Wei Xiong's brows furrowed slightly.

"As far as I know, in the past few decades, there have been many cases of unborn babies receiving high inheritances in Hong Kong. ”

"Since these unborn babies receive an inheritance, it proves that they have legal rights. ”

"I suggested that the lawyer read more. ”

"Mr. Wei, we all know that there are currently multiple projects in hand at the same time, and the returns are all very good. ”

"I wonder what the first project of the co-investment was?"

"This is a trade secret, how can it be revealed. Wei Xiong smiled slightly: "Just kidding, in fact, the project has not yet been officially determined." ”

"If you're interested, you can pay attention. ”

"Will you accept social funds in the future?" the reporter asked, looking at the look he was expecting, there was no doubt that he was an admirer of Wei Xiong.

"It depends. ”

"Well, the next one, the blonde lady in blue. ”

"Hello Mr. Wei, I'm Susan, a journalist for Le Monde in France, and it's been more than a month since your last trip to England. ”

"In the past month or so. ”

"The UK economy has largely recovered from the impact of the crash because of your investments and loans to the UK government, at least in the stock market. ”

"Also in this month or so. ”

"There are many high-ranking government officials in Europe who have welcomed you to invest in their countries on various occasions, including France. ”

"I wonder if Mr. Wei has a corresponding plan?"

France is one of the world's major economies, and although it was much less affected by the stock market crash than the UK, French brokers are not good.

The late fifties and early seventies were the period of take-off for the French economy.

During this period, France successively formulated the fourth and fifth economic plans, and shifted the focus of development to new industrial sectors such as petrochemicals, electronics, high-speed trains, automobiles, aerospace, shipbuilding, and communication equipment, and used them as a leader to promote the comprehensive development of the entire industry.

Between 1959 and 1974.

France's GDP is growing at an average annual rate of 5.7%, which is not only higher than that of the United States, the United Kingdom, but also higher than that of Germany.

The unemployment rate has also remained low at 2.8%. 02

However, the good times were short-lived.

Entering the late seventies.

Affected by the worldwide economic crisis triggered by the oil crisis, the French economy continues to decline, prices rise in turn, and the number of unemployed soars.

In 1977, the unemployment rate exceeded the 5% mark.

Since then, it has risen all the way up, and in 1985, for the first time, reached a record double digits.

Despite the various measures taken by successive governments,

The General Planning Administration has also drawn up the sixth economic plan one after another, but the implementation of these plans has not been satisfactory.

Other words

Since there was no stock market crash, the French economy was also mired in an economic crisis.

In this case.

Attracting foreign capital is the simplest, most direct and effective way to attract investment, and a wealthy man like Wei Xiong is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Not yet. ”

"The main thing is that my investment in the UK needs a digestion period, and expanding too quickly is often not a good thing. "But there are some projects in France that are really worth investing in. ”

"Especially the high-tech aspect. ”

"Mr. Wei, according to the relevant information, Miss Zhao Yazhi should be more than 7 months pregnant, can you disclose the specific date of delivery?"

"I'm sorry not to answer the gossip question today. ”

……

The launch lasted more than an hour.

After the end, Wei Xiong and Li Ka-shing, as well as Huang Jiankun, came to the office of the joint investment company in the HSBC building.

There is only one topic: how to develop the company's business.

According to the agreements reached previously.

The joint investment company will form a strategic alliance with the joint investment company, which is mainly reflected in the fact that the joint investment will provide guidance to the joint investment in the business.

Of course, the specific operation is still done independently by co-investment.

It was discussed for a while.

"Since you have no opinion on Mr. Li's proposal, the company's first investment project is mainly short- and medium-term investment in the Japanese stock market. ”

"Mr. Huang, you go to Powell tomorrow. ”

"I'll explain the situation to him. ”

"However, Wei's investment only provides basic information for reference, and the specific operation still requires you to organize manpower and carefully study it. ”

"After all, Webster Investments doesn't make money every investment in the Japanese stock market. ”

"I understand. ”

Huang Jiankun nodded.
