Chapter 293: Opportunity for Finger Staining (1)
After thinking about the layout of the United States next year, Zhang Junyi put his mind on his base camp, Xiangjiang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
To say that from September this year to the next two or three years, it can definitely be said that it is the most important years in my life, and the importance of these years is even no less than the two years of primitive accumulation that I have just crossed over.
In fact, if you want to talk about the importance of the next few years, the United States and Xiangjiang are almost equally important, in the United States is the best time to grab their own funds, whether it is the incident in Microsoft next year or the financial market in three years is the most important opportunity for Zhang Junyi's capital growth.
Zhang Junyi knows that with his continuous development and growth, his influence on certain fields will become deeper and deeper, and the development of the future world will definitely be more and more different from the development of his previous life because of the butterfly instigated by him, so the role of his golden finger because of the memory of his previous life will become smaller and smaller, especially in the financial market.
Although there were a lot of opportunities to make money in the 80s, there was no other way to get the most money out of it but to speculate in the financial industry.
But if you want to play financial speculation, you must be careful of the storm set off by his butterfly, even if the reborn golden finger makes him remember some money-making opportunities clearly.
To say that he has just crossed the past few years, even if Zhang Junyi wants to change the course of history, it is absolutely impossible, after all, at that time, he wanted funds without funds, and he had no impact on it, but now it is different, even if he has no foundation behind him in Europe and the United States and other countries, but if the funds in his hands enter the financial market and the role of leverage will definitely be a force to be reckoned with, so because of his own involvement, the data of the financial market in his previous life memory will also be slowly adapted。
Just like the stock market crash in Xiangjiang last year, the data in my memory in my previous life is very different from the data in this life, but fortunately, the changes that occurred at that time were only limited to the occasional place in Xiangjiang, and the data also fell even more, plus I was not too greedy, so it would be the end of my own bowl.
But that fluke success also sounded a big alarm bell for Zhang Junyi, and a few years later, Zhang Junyi will not face the opponent of this small place in Xiangjiang, Zhang Junyi will face the elite of the world and even all the entire Wall Street, fortunately, he has not changed much in the course of world development in recent years, so the incident three years later can be regarded as a good opportunity for himself to grab funds.
But in times of peace, Zhang Junyi doesn't believe that just relying on the golden finger of this past life memory can continuously help him to call for wind and rain in the financial market.
But fortunately, Zhang Junyi is quite satisfied with this kind of takeover, after all, the financial market is not his own ATM, and he still understands the truth that people are not enough to swallow elephants.
And the way to make money in your mind is not just this one, besides, as long as you are not greedy, even if the data of the financial market is not the same as in the previous life, but the general trend will not change, at most it is not as much as you used to earn, but this is not the amount of profit, but the amount of return.
Looking back, even if he can't earn a penny in the financial market in the future, to put it mildly, Zhang Junyi can actually not care, after all, from the very beginning of the future development plan, Zhang Junyi didn't think about how much he had done in the financial market, and he always took the field of entertainment and media as his ultimate goal.
Of course, no matter what, it is impossible to really make a penny in the financial market, after all, the general trend of several financial crises in the world and several wars that broke out in the world will not change, and what has changed is that the final data is different from the previous life, so as long as he keeps his heart and is not tempted by interests, Zhang Junyi believes that he will still be able to get a piece of the pie.
Back to the topic, whether it is Microsoft or finance, these are just a means for Zhang Junyi to obtain funds, in the final analysis, the most important thing for himself is to enter the field of entertainment media, which is the foundation of his future growth.
In the 80s, the United States set off a merger and acquisition frenzy, and he remembers that in the early 80s, there were hundreds of various media outlets, and in the 21st century, there are only seven or eight large media groups left.
As for the reason for the merger and acquisition frenzy, even in the previous life, there are different opinions, as for the reason in the final analysis, this Zhang Junyi does not care, he only cares about the next five to ten years, which is the most critical few years for whether he can really gain a foothold in the United States.
And the past few years have happened to be the most chaotic years in Hollywood, and only when the water in this circle is getting muddy and muddy, will your chances become bigger and bigger.
After all, Warner has not merged with the times now, Disney is not the iron-blooded CEO in power, Disney at this time is not a giant with a market value of tens of billions in the future, the "Star Wars" series has not brought much benefit to Twentieth Century Fox, Coca-Cola has no intention of running Columbia, and Universal is mediocre as a whole.
After all, if you want to achieve the ultimate goal of a world-class entertainment media group, it is most appropriate to start with Hollywood, and if you want to control Hollywood in your hands, now is the best time to start.
Of course, no matter how important his career in the United States is, Zhang Junyi knows that he will not be able to give up the expansion of Xiangjiang, because he knows that no matter how small Xiangjiang is, it is also his base camp, not to mention where it is across the river from Xiangjiang, and what kind of rapid development there will have in more than ten or twenty years, which is clear to Zhang Junyi in his previous life.
In fact, speaking of Xiangjiang, Zhang Junyi knows very well in his heart that although his status in Xiangjiang is already very high, coupled with the small alliance of Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng's trip, basically no one can shake it in Xiangjiang, but he knows very well that his current self, including Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng, is not the top handful in Xiangjiang.
If you want to say who is the top handful in Xiangjiang now, even the most ordinary people in Xiangjiang will answer without hesitation: the four oceans in Xiangjiang.
As an international transit port, Xiangjiang is an important node of the Maritime Silk Road, and foreign trade is the most fundamental factor for Xiangjiang's development and growth. Speaking of trade, we have to mention the four major foreign companies in Xiangjiang - Jardine Matheson, Swire & Co., Hutchison and Wheelock. Although it was a passive window, it also witnessed the development of modern trade in China, the input and output of material civilization, and also accelerated the transformation of modern Chinese society.
Speaking of which, Xiangjiang is also a strange existence. A narrow peninsula of only 1,065 square kilometers with a total population of 7 million. However, it is the world's third largest financial center and Asia's center of trade, shipping and service industries. From Zhang Junyi's personal experience, Xiangjiang is a city with a strong civilian style and a strong merchant cultural tradition. The well-dressed financial talents who walked out of the Central building turned a corner and appeared in the shabby, cramped and crowded tea restaurant, but there was a strange sense of harmony. This "common spirit" and merchant tradition are the genes that a region and a country need to develop trade finance.
When thinking of the four major foreign banks in Xiangjiang, Zhang Junyi's first thought is Jardine Matheson.
Jardine Matheson is one of the most famous old British-owned foreign firms, the largest British-funded consortium in the Far East, and engaged in trade with China during the Qing Dynasty. The company played a pivotal role in the early years of Hong Kong's development, and was the first European company to be established in Shanghai and the first foreign company to be established in Japan.
Jardine Matheson was founded on 1 July 1832 by two Englishmen, William Jardine and James Maddison, of British descent in Canton, China. Jardine Matheson played a pivotal role in the development of Hong Kong in its early years, and was known as "before Hong Kong, there was Jardine Matheson".
In its early years, Jardine Matheson was involved in the trade with China, mainly engaged in the trading of opium and tea. When Lin Zexu imposed a ban on smoking in 1839, William Jardine, the founder of Jardine Matheson, personally lobbied the British government in London to wage war with the Manchus, and also advocated the acquisition of the Hong River from the Qing Dynasty as a trading base.
In 1843, Shanghai Jardine Matheson & Co. was founded. In 1844, the first auction of land in Shanghai was also purchased by Jardine Matheson. In the early years, Jardine Matheson's competitors in Hong Kong included other trading companies such as "Dian Di Yang Company" and Sassoon Foreign Company. After 1872, Jardine Matheson gave up the opium trade in China, and after that, Jardine Matheson's investment business gradually diversified, in addition to trade, it also invested in the construction of railways, dockyards, various factories, mines in mainland China and Xiangjiang, and in various industries such as shipping and banking. In addition to the construction of China's first railway, the Wusong Railway, in Shanghai in 1876, Jardine Matheson also installed China's first elevator and introduced various machinery and industrial equipment. After 1912, Jardine Matheson's corporate headquarters was located in Shanghai.
After 1949, most of Jardine Matheson's assets and businesses in mainland China were nationalized. In 1954, Jardine Matheson's last office in China was forced to close, and the company's headquarters moved back to Xiangjiang. The company was first listed on Heung Kong in 1961 and was oversubscribed by more than 50 times. In 1984, Jardine Matheson moved its domicile from Hong Kong to Bermuda, and in the early 1990s, it moved the listing of the company and its subsidiaries from Hong Kong to Singapore or London. After a century of vicissitudes and witnessing the changes in Hong Kong, Jardine Matheson shifted its focus and left Hong Kong and Kowloon just before the return of Hong Kong.
In the past few years, Hutchison and Wheelock were acquired by Lee Ka-shing and Bao Yugang, and Jardine Matheson and Swire are still surviving in the fierce market competition.
Therefore, Zhang Junyi's decision to return to Xiangjiang this time has a lot to do with the fact that it is also suitable for these four oceanic companies.
To put it bluntly, Zhang Junyi just wants to get a solid piece of meat from Jardine Matheson and Wheelock & Co.
Especially Jardine Matheson, Zhang Junyi learned through the analysis of many experts in his previous life that it was precisely because Li Jiacheng acquired the Hong Kong Electric Group under Jardine Matheson in the next two years that he would lay the biggest foundation for him to become the richest Chinese man in the future.
So even if Zhang Junyi, Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang jointly formed a three-person alliance of interests, Zhang Junyi was not ready to let anyone but himself eat this fat meat, even Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng.
For the HK Electric Group under the name of Jardine Matheson, to be honest, Zhang Junyi has long been covetous, this not only involves economic interests, but also the HK Electric Group is the most solid protective force that can crown Zhang Junyi.
Established in 1889, HK Electric is the principal operating company of the HK Electric Group, responsible for the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity to Hong Kong Island and Lamma Island. In the 21st century, HK Electric's power plant on Lamma Island generated a total of 3,755 MW of electricity, served more than 550,000 customers, and maintained a 99.999% reliability since 1997.
Heung Kong was one of the first cities in Asia to have electricity supply. In 1888, the Hong Kong Government signed the first electricity supply contract with Hong Kong Electric to pump fresh water to the top of Victoria Peak and to supply electricity for street lamps on Hong Kong Island. At 6 p.m. on 1 December 1890, HK Electric began to supply electricity to parts of Hong Kong Island, including the electric street lamps in the Central business district. The first power plant was the Wan Chai Power Plant, located at Star Street in Wan Chai, with an initial power generation capacity of 100 kilowatts.
In 1968, HK Electric built a fully computerised power plant in Ap Lei Chau to generate electricity using oil, which was completed in 1981 with a capacity of 1,061 MW. In September 1978, the Hong Kong Government officially approved HK Electric to build a larger power plant on Lamma Island.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Zhang Junyi controls HK Electric, then he controls the power generation of the entire Xiangjiang River, and at that time, even the Xiangjiang government will adopt an equal posture when facing Zhang Junyi, otherwise he will be anxious, and then the Hong Kong Electric controlled by Zhang Junyi will have some force majeure factors due to 'some special reasons', then more than half of the Xiangjiang area will be cut off.
In other words, Zhang Junyi's desire to stain the Hong Kong Lantern is actually more important to prepare a strategic weapon for himself, just as the atomic bombs stored by the world powers play the same role in war.
Why is the United States, as the world's first power, known as the world's policeman, but the United States only dares to launch a war against those countries that do not have atomic bomb reserves, the reason is that those small countries do not have the threat of strategic weapons, otherwise, you America is in the ox X, and people are in a hurry, and when the time comes, you will be given an atomic bomb, and your great American empire will still have to kneel.
