After chatting a few words, Li Huawen asked, "What is the situation with Zhou Xinian?" I wanted to ask you before I came. ”

At the beginning of this year, Zhou Xinian, chairman of the board of directors of the dairy company, was devastated by the loss of his beloved wife, Liu Qinggui, when Li Hualong attended Liu Qinggui's funeral.

"What's going on?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.

"Don't pretend to be garlic with me." Li Huawen glared at Li Hualong, "Recently, Zhou Xinian has been to T Bay many times and has been received by J Bald Head, and there are rumors that Zhou Xinian intends to immigrate and withdraw to T Bay...... Don't sue me, you don't know these things. ”

Li Huawen graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, he called President J "principal", long before he retired, he was very disappointed in this "principal", he left the army, came to Hong Kong, often heard Li Hualong call President J "J bald", he got used to it, he also used this title.

"I know." Li Hualong said with a smile.

"Last year, when you took a stake in the dairy company, you said that you fancy the land owned by the dairy company, and there is real estate development value in the future. Now Zhou Xinian intends to withdraw his capital to Taiwan, and he can't move the land of the dairy company, so he can only sell the shares in his hand if he wants to withdraw his capital. I don't believe that you are not interested in buying the shares in Zhou Xinian's hands. ”

"Interested. A few days ago, I met with Zhou Xinian, and I made a condition, and he was considering it. ”

"Looking at the way you sit firmly in Diaoyutai, it seems that you are completely sure to buy Zhou Xinian's shares?"

"There is not that much certainty, and there is still a fifty or sixty percent certainty. Now I can only consume it first, if Zhou Xinian does not reply within a month, I will talk to him again, and I can increase the purchase price slightly. ”

"If Hong Kong continues to be so chaotic, Zhou Xinian is not optimistic about Hong Kong's economic prospects, since he did not reject your offer, he will definitely accept your offer. That's right. In addition to Zhou Xinian, you can also talk to other shareholders of the dairy company. ”

"I found it, and I also talked to the shareholders of Whampoa Dockyard about buying shares."

"How many deals have you negotiated?" Li Huawen asked curiously.

"Two negotiations have been made, and a total of 15% of the shares of Whampoa Dock have been obtained."

"Compared with last year, how much has the market value of Whampoa Dockyard shrunk?" Li Huawen asked again.

"It's half the size."

"Looks like you're not ruthless enough!" Li Huawen quipped, "The market value of the dairy company has also shrunk by half? ”

"Yes!" Li Hualong smiled and nodded, "In this world, you can sell it at a five-percent discount, which is already a good deal for sellers." ”

"Then you can push the price down again!" Li Huawen said with a smile.

"There's no need for that. I have a lot of money in my hands, and now I buy shares in Whampoa Dockyard and other companies at a slightly higher price, and people who are not optimistic about Hong Kong's economic prospects will think that I have lost money, but I firmly believe that it will not be long before Hong Kong's economy will improve. ”

"Aaron, if this riot can be quelled. Hong Kong's economy can recover quickly, then I really have to treat you as a fairy. ”

"Don't!" Li Hualong shook his head and said, "In the next few months, there will be no shortage of people who choose to sell their family business and cash out of Hong Kong." And in this crisis, it's not that I'm the only one who dares to bet heavily, it's just that I'm richer. Although I think it is nine times out of ten, it is undeniable. There's a lot of gambling involved. ”

"At the beginning, you persuaded Abba to come to Hong Kong for development, and later. Abba told me about your analysis, and it makes sense. But this time...... I don't want to, I'll gamble with you. ”

"Gamble, you can, but, the world has been so chaotic recently, you try to appear in public as little as possible, and when you go out, be careful, bring two more bodyguards, don't be too troublesome. I've always said that if you make money, you have to have a life. ”

"Don't worry! Aaron, you are younger than me, how do I feel like my uncle. Li Huawen smiled and said, "Your eldest brother and my skills, you don't know yet, I have insisted on exercising all these years." Among the bodyguards you hired, some of them are not as good as me, two or three little thieves, I don't even look at them. ”

"The husband is good at drowning, and the good rider is falling, each according to his own good, but he is in trouble. You haven't heard this before, have you? ”

"Yes. I didn't listen to your advice, I was followed by bodyguards when I went out. Hehe, third, sometimes, think about you are quite afraid of death, no, you are very afraid of death! ”

"It's not a shame to be afraid of death." Li Hualong said seriously, "The children have not grown up yet, and they have not yet given Abba and Aunt to provide for the elderly, I am reluctant to die, I still want to see my great-grandson marry a wife and have children!" ”

"The great-grandson marries a wife and has children, and the five generations are in the same house, hehe, then you have to let your son marry a wife and have children as soon as possible."

"Abba really wants to be in the same house for five generations, you let Sheng Quan get married and have children early, he is the eldest son and eldest grandson." Li Hualong smiled and said, "Big brother, Sheng Quan's age is not too young, he doesn't have a girlfriend, he has been in love for several years, you and your sister-in-law should urge him." ”

"Wait for the next time you see him, you uncle urge him!"

"Okay, I'll tell."

Some time later, Li Hualong signed a number of equity purchase agreements to complete these acquisitions, and he became the absolute controlling shareholder of Whampoa Dockyard, Dairy Farm Company and Hong Kong Tramway.

Li Hualong originally intended to conceal these acquisitions from the outside world, but most people are pessimistic about Hong Kong's prospects, and many people choose to sell their family businesses and leave Hong Kong to immigrate overseas.

One morning in late June, Li Hualong received a call from Quanfeng and Feng Jingxi, a shareholder of the real estate company, at his home.

"Li Sheng, it's me, Feng Jingxi." Feng Jingxi smiled.

"Brother Feng, we haven't seen each other for a while, do you want to invite me to dinner?" Li Hualong joked that Feng Jingxi was a few years older than him, and he didn't feel a loss when he called his eldest brother.

"yes, are you free tonight?"

"Available. Just the two of us? ”

"And Lao Zhao, Zhao Guicheng, I will invite you to dinner with Lao Zhao and go to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel."

"Okay. See you that night. ”

"See you in the evening."

After Li Hualong hung up the phone, Li Yisong asked, "Who called?" ”

"Feng Jingxi."

"What's the matter with him?" Li Yisong asked, knowing that Feng Jingxi was a real estate developer who had set up a joint venture with Gemdale and other companies to develop two office buildings on the Navy Dockyard site.

"It's fine." Li Hualong replied, paused for a moment, and continued, "Maybe he wants to sell the shares of Quanfeng and the real estate company." ”

"You're going to buy it?" Li Yisong asked.

"If the price is right. I'll buy it. Li Hualong smiled.

"What's the right price?" Li Yisong smiled slightly.

"No matter how much money he has invested before, I will pay half the price to buy the shares."

"You think clearly, the vast majority of rich people now want to leave Hong Kong." Li Yisong reminded.

"If you want to leave, you may not leave." Li Hualong smiled.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Many wealthy people are pessimistic about Hong Kong's prospects, but now that the property market and stock market are falling very badly, many people will stay in Hong Kong because they are reluctant to sell their properties at a discount. If everyone escapes, it will be detrimental to the future recovery of Hong Kong's economy, and I will invest in debt, but it will be dangerous. ”

"Anyway. You control the risk yourself. ”

"I know what I know." Li Hualong smiled confidently.

That night, Li Hualong, Feng Jingxi and Zhao Guicheng gathered in the private room of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

"Lao Zhao, I have recently bought shares in many companies, you know this, right?"

"Yes." Zhao Guicheng nodded with a smile, "If I didn't know that you are optimistic about Hong Kong's prospects, I wouldn't have thought of selling your shares to you." ”

"The property market is not good right now. If you want to sell shares, you will lose a lot more than when you invested last year. ”

"I can accept a little loss. I am not too young anymore, and I am ready to immigrate to the United States for retirement. I hope Li Sheng's knife is too ruthless. ”

"Lao Zhao, it's boring for you to say this, in business, you are willing to buy it. I've got to be willing to sell. Li Hualong said lightly.

"Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing. I was punished for drinking. Zhao Guicheng raised his wine glass and poured the red wine into his stomach.

Feng Jingxi picked up the decanting bottle, poured wine for Zhao Guicheng, and said to Li Hualong: "Li Sheng, as far as I know, your acquisition of shares in several companies such as the Dairy Milk Company has shrunk by half compared to two years ago. You see, can you buy the shares of Quanfeng and Real Estate Company at half price? ”

"Brother Feng, do you mean, before, how much did you invest and sell the shares to me at half price?" Li Hualong asked knowingly.

"Yes." Feng Jingxi nodded.

"That's what I mean, too." Zhao Guicheng said.

Li Hualong picked up his wine glass and took a sip of red wine, although he was willing to accept this condition, he did not plan to say yes immediately.

Feng Jingxi and Zhao Guicheng did not urge Li Hualong, they all knew that at the moment, few people were willing to buy their shares at half price.

The three of them were silent for a while, and Li Hualong smiled: "Brother Feng, Lao Zhao, you have thought clearly, you are selling shares like this, and you are obviously losing money." ”

Feng Jingxi said: "Doing business depends on vision, no matter how prosperous the Hong Kong property market is in the future, I will not envy you!" ”

Zhao Guicheng sighed with a wry smile and said, "No one put a knife on my neck, no matter what price the transaction is made, it is reasonable." ”

"Since you're so happy, I agreed." Li Hualong smiled heartily, he accepted the offer of Feng Jingxi and Zhao Guicheng.

"Let's have a drink, then!" Feng Jingxi smiled and raised his wine glass, it was a good thing for him to be able to sell the shares of Quanfeng and the real estate company at half price.

Two days later, Li Hualong signed an agreement with Feng Jingxi and Zhao Guicheng for Gemdale Group to acquire the shares of Quanfeng and Real Estate Company held by them.

A few days later, a number of shareholders of Quanfeng and other five joint venture real estate companies called Li Hualong to discuss the sale of shares, and the offer was half of their previous investment, and Li Hualong accepted all of them.

As Gemdale Group took out a large amount of money to buy shares in the joint venture real estate company, the company's debt ratio continued to rise, but Li Hualong was not worried that Gemdale Group would not be able to repay the loan on time, he has a large number of high-quality assets, and he is the largest shareholder of Hang Seng Bank, it is not difficult to obtain loans, and many of his companies are very profitable, and they can get a lot of profits every month, and it is not difficult to pay bank interest.

Li Hualong, a super "friend", has bought and traded many times, and there are always a few that will be known to newspaper reporters, and many newspapers have reported these news.

A very small number of Hong Kong people have been influenced by Li Hualong and have taken huge risks to invest in real estate, but it still cannot change the majority of people's pessimism about Hong Kong's prospects, and there are still some people who have not given up selling their family business and leaving Hong Kong.

Some Hong Kong people who have money in their hands and have not yet emigrated overseas do not dare to buy property at this time.

Far more people are bearish about Hong Kong's prospects than those who are optimistic about Hong Kong's prospects, with the property market continuing to be sluggish and house prices continuing to fall.

At the same time, the Hong Kong stock market has also fallen into a downturn, the stock price continues to fall, and the turnover continues to decline, not because the stock price is too low, no one is willing to sell stocks at this time, but at this time there are too few people who are willing to take real money and take risks to buy stocks.
