Chapter 498: The Strength of the Peninsula Group (10,000 Tips and Changes)

The Peninsula is owned and operated by the British-Jewish Kadoori family, and is located at 22 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, facing Victoria Harbour, with mid-rise and high-rise view of the sea from picture windows.

The hotel has 300 rooms, which are larger than the average hotel in Hong Kong, and include a Roman palace-style swimming pool and health club, as well as an underground shopping mall with many brand-name stores.

With abundant capital, Wang Zichuan's confidence increased greatly, and he planned to win the Peninsula Group in one fell swoop, but after learning about the situation of the Peninsula Group, it was like being poured a basin of cold water from beginning to end in winter, and his heart became cold.

Li Rongrong handed the information of the owner of the Peninsula Group to Wang Zichuan and explained: "Mr. Wang, The Peninsula Group belongs to the Hong Kong Hotel industry, and the Hong Kong Hotel belongs to the Kadoori family. ”

Wang Zichuan's expression was solemn and he asked, "Is this Jiadaoli family really the richest man in Hong Kong?" ”

The richest man in Hong Kong is British! Wang Zichuan was prepared, after all, Li Jiacheng had not yet made a fortune, but he never expected to meet it so soon, and the road of forcible acquisition would definitely not work.

Li Rongrong saw that Wang Zichuan didn't know anything about the Jiadaoli family, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to say that the other party was bold or reckless, and said in a daze: "Mr. Wang, you are really ...... Let me give you an introduction to this family, and the current head of the Kadoori family is Roland. Eighty-six years old, he was born in Hong Kong in 18/99 to a Jewish merchant family. ”

Wang Zichuan was surprised: "This ghost guy has lived a really long life!" ”

Li Rongrong's face was strange, he completely subverted his perception of Wang Zichuan, who has always been a decisive and visionary hero in his heart, just because they were under house arrest for half a year, during which an agent secretly reported to the company, and now he is still lying in the hospital, from this point you can see the iron side of the other party. And now Mr. Wang......

Holding back his surprise, Li Rongrong continued: "The Jiadaoli family was developed under his hands, and of course there is also his father Yili. The credit of Jiadaoli, when Yili came to Hong Kong in his early years, he only had 500 yuan. With this money, he opened a stock brokerage firm, and with the shrewdness and ability of the Jews, Gadoori made his first pot of gold in stock trading. ”

Wang Zichuan had long heard about the shrewdness of the Jews, and sighed: "The truth that money makes money seems to be innately understood by Jews!" ”

Li Rongrong nodded in agreement and added, "Yili. Kadoori quickly invested the money it earned. In collaboration with a friend, he founded the CLP Power Company in 1903. At that time, the power of generators was very small, and only a few foreigners in Hong Kong could use electric lights, but the clever Ka Dao Lei had foreseen that the power industry was a promising industry, and he concentrated his efforts on China Power Power. In 1906, Erie. Kadoori also bought a large stake in the Hongkong and Shanghai Hotel and became the majority shareholder. ”

Wang Zichuan's eyes were hesitant, and he said tentatively: "You mean that in addition to the hotel and real estate industry, the Jiadaoli family also has a power company?" ”

The corners of Li Rongrong's mouth twitched, he really didn't understand. How could Wang Zichuan dare to talk about the acquisition of The Peninsula Hotel without the knowledge of the Jiadaoli family, it seems that the business is a bit hanging.

"The Kadoori family is currently the richest man in Hong Kong, and the industry has already been diversified. Engaged in energy industry, real estate, shipping, engineering, construction, hotels, etc., he was canonized by the British royal family and other countries. Kadoori is enthusiastic about public welfare, if Mr. Wang wants to buy Peninsula Group. I suggest that you start with this. ”

Wang Zichuan bowed his head and was silent, looking at the information collected by Li Rongrong, the more he looked, the more surprised he became. This Jiadaoli family is really powerful.

He lives in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. In the 18th century, they moved to Mumbai, India, and later made their fortune in the magic capital, and the Kadoori family bought an electric power plant from the British, but the business in the mainland suffered a loss, and moved to Hong Kong to develop, and built the Hok Yuen Street Power Plant, which mainly supplied electricity to The Peninsula Hotel. After the restructuring of the plant, Kadoori became the majority shareholder at the time. Founded in 1866 by the Kadoori family, the Hong Kong Hotel Company Limited (HKT) was an early hotel operator in the Magic City, and its Peninsula Hotels brand managed a number of luxury hotels around the world, including The Peninsula Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong.

Wang Zichuan then looked down, he wanted to know how much the Peninsula Hotel and Hong Kong Hotel were worth, since this Jiadaoli family had so many properties, he had a little more confidence.

Li Rongrong hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Mr. Wang, Hong Kong Hotel was established in 1867, and the Kadoori family has been controlling this famous hotel group in Hong Kong since they bought its shares 80 years ago. The group currently includes The Peninsula Hong Kong, as well as some overseas assets, with an estimated market value of more than HK$2 billion! ”

Wang Zichuan put down the information and said with a smile: "2 billion Hong Kong dollars? This is within my affordability, since the shares of the Peninsula Group belong to the Hong Kong Hotel, then I will buy the Hong Kong Hotel! ”

Li Rongrong hesitated: "Mr. Wang, with all due respect, Hong Kong Hotel is the core asset of the Kadoori family, I'm afraid they are not willing to sell, if they only buy the Peninsula Hotel, there is still a little possibility." ”

Wang Zichuan smiled faintly and asked rhetorically: "I want to meet this Mr. Roland, what can you do?" ”

Li Rongrong's face was embarrassed, and he smiled bitterly: "Roland. Jia Daoli is not only a successful businessman, but also a far-sighted politician, he has served as a member of the Executive and Legislative Councils of Hong Kong, and I am a stockbroker, which is a bit difficult for a strong man. ”

"I'm asking you if there's a way!" Wang Zichuan repeated, of course he knew that Li Rongrong could not be in the same circle as Roland.

Li Rongrong sweated on his forehead, and thought about the big people he knew in turn, but he was still many levels behind, and couldn't help but shake his head gloomily, if Wang Zichuan wanted to get to know the members of the board of directors of the Peninsula Hotel, he could help.

Wang Zichuan waved his hand and said angrily: "I'll figure it out myself, you can go back." ”

Li Rongrong looked embarrassed, and suddenly blessed his soul, he was a small person, and he knew only a limited number of people, but the Mr. Wang in front of him was different, and he could solve the problem with his name as the vice chairman of Hutchison Whampoa alone.

"Mr. Wang, I've figured out a way!"

Wang Zichuan asked, "What way?" ”

Li Rongrong smiled: "Mr. Huo Jianning, deputy general manager of the board of directors of Hutchison Whampoa, do you know him?" ”

"Huo Jianning? Is he a member of the Huo family? Wang Zichuan's heart was empty, he was still unclear with that Zhu Linlin a few days ago.

Li Rongrong said: "He is not Mr. Huo's clan, but the name is not small, there is a working emperor, very valued by Mr. Li Jiacheng, after returning from the United States, has been working with the Yangtze River Group, the Yangtze River Group acquired Hutchison Whampoa, he became the deputy general manager of the board of directors in just a few years, I believe that soon, the position of general manager of the board of directors of Hutchison Whampoa will definitely fall on his head." ”

Wang Zichuan's face turned red, he really didn't know Huo Jianning, he remembered that the general manager of the board of directors of Hutchison Whampoa was a person surnamed Ma.

"So Huo Jianning is still my subordinate, but what does he have to do with the Jiadaoli family?"

Li Rongrong said with a smile: "Mr. Wang doesn't know, Huo Jianning's talent is obvious to all, not only Mr. Li values him, but Mr. Jia Daoli has also thrown an olive branch several times, I heard that they have a close personal relationship." ”

Wang Zichuan gradually became interested in Huo Jianning, the title of working emperor is not something that can be obtained casually, since this 'emperor' can be looked at by the two richest men in Hong Kong, his ability must be very outstanding, if he recruits this Huo Jianning under his command, wouldn't it solve the urgent need!

Li Rongrong saw that Wang Zichuan's expression was happy, and he also became excited, and continued to introduce: "Mr. Huo studied accounting, and became an accounting officer when he first joined Cheung Kong Group, and then obtained the Australian accountant qualification, and is currently appointed by Mr. Li Jiacheng as the executive director of Hutchison Whampoa, and you are his immediate boss. ”

Wang Zichuan made up his mind to win over Huo Jianning, what he lacks most now is financial management figures, Shi Nansheng manages the finances of a Great Wall Media Group, which has reached the upper limit of his ability, and he now has tens of billions of assets under his name, and it is impossible to do everything.

"How do you think I can bring Huo Jianning over?"

"Ahem......" Li Rongrong felt that his head was not enough, he was dizzy for a moment, and said distractedly: "Mr. Wang plans to recruit Mr. Huo Jianning?" ”

"Why, can't you?" Wang Zichuan smiled confidently, what Li Jiacheng can give, he can still give, besides, according to his plan, the future property will definitely blow up Li Jiacheng.

"No, no, no!" Li Rongrong quickly reacted that Huo Jianning was the idol of their working class, and for Li Jiacheng's Cheung Kong Industrial and Hong Kong's richest man Jia Daoli, Wang Zichuan is still the president of an 'unknown' entertainment company.

Thinking that he was still working for the other party, Li Rongrong complimented: "Mr. Wang has a unique vision and dares to fight, I think Mr. Huo Jianning also agrees with you." ”

Wang Zichuan could see at a glance what Li Rongrong was thinking, and he didn't plan to explain to him, he smiled faintly, waved his hand and said: "Okay, I understand this situation, after the acquisition of the Hong Kong Hotel, I will not forget your credit." ”

"Then I'm leaving!" Li Rongrong still has no bottom in his heart, and he still doesn't have enough confidence in whether Wang Zichuan can successfully acquire the Hong Kong Hotel.

Wang Zichuan glanced in the direction of the Peninsula Hotel from a distance, he was determined to win the Peninsula Hotel, and he was confident that he would convince that Roland. In just a few moments, he thought of several plans, and the whole world knew that Jews would do business, so he had a big deal with this Mr. Jiadaoli.

A lot will happen in a few years, and the most sensational thing is the disintegration of the great powers of the North, and now the famous president came to power in March of this year. (To be continued......)
