The Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club is located on Chili Island, also known as Lantern Island, which was originally a small island in the eastern part of Hong Kong Island. However, in 69, due to reclamation projects, it was connected to Hong Kong Island.

The Royal Yacht Club's meeting place is a plain-looking white house that seems unremarkable on the surface. It doesn't match the luxury of yachts, the rich, and the celebrities.

But the exterior is just a disguise, and the interior is extremely luxurious. And the yachts docked on the dock behind the white house make you deeply understand what low-key luxury is.

Xu Guanwu and his wife Zhao Yazhi came to the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club for the first time, and when they saw the white house for the first time, they thought they were on the wrong path. But when he saw that there were Indian security guards guarding the door, and there were constantly luxury cars coming in and out at the door, Xu Guanwu knew that the location was right.

"Sister, do these British guys also know that their wealth is not exposed? Pick such a dilapidated house as the meeting place? Xu Guanwu couldn't help but scold.

In conscience, Xu Guanwu feels that his villa looks more magnificent than this white house.

When the car drove to the door, it was stopped by the Indian security guard there, and when he saw that there were Chinese sitting in the car, the security guard still showed a look of contempt on his face, which made Xu Guanwu so angry that he almost asked the bodyguard to beat him.

Xu Guanwu also knows that India, like Hong Kong, was one of the British colonies before, but the vast majority of Chinese in Hong Kong still insist that they are Chinese, but India is shy and considers itself a Commonwealth country. Because of this historical origin, there are also many Indians in Hong Kong.

In the early days of Hong Kong's opening, Indians were able to speak and write English proficiently because of their long colonial history. And generally affluent than the Chinese. So there were Westerners at that time who were first-class subjects. The Indians are second-class, and the Chinese are third-class.

However, now with the gradual rise of Chinese businessmen and the continuous expansion of Chinese shili in Hong Kong, the strength of Indian nationality has been declining, and it is not as good as day by day.

Xu Guanwu saw that his attitude was so bad, of course he wouldn't give him a smile, and coldly handed over the invitation.

When the Indian security guard saw it, he immediately became more disciplined. After careful inspection, he respectfully returned the invitation to Xu Guanwu and gave a standard salute.

"Sister, dogs look down on people." Xu Guanwu scolded and asked the driver to drive in.

"Don't be angry, why bother to be like them." Zhao Yazhi persuaded with a smile.

Stopped the car, and immediately a waiter came to open the door, and then Xu Guanwu and Zhao Yazhi walked through the green ground and entered the inside of the white house.

I was immediately taken aback by the gorgeous and extravagant decoration inside, and the interior of the white room was completely decorated in the style of a European court. I don't know if I moved something from Buckingham Palace here. In short, there are all kinds of beautiful furniture, decorations...... It makes you feel like you're in the middle of a European castle.

"Rub, these grandsons are too good at pretending." Xu Guanwu sighed while looking at it.

in the hall. The guests were sipping wine to the sound of melodious music, chatting in groups, and no one came to greet the two of them.

Fortunately, Xu Guanwu is not the first time to participate in this kind of party, knowing that this kind of Western party seems to be equal and free, but in fact it is a vanity fair full of sin and evil. As long as you are the richest and most famous among them, there will be people around you who come to talk to you. If you're the least wealthy and least famous, then you shouldn't expect anyone to look at you, let alone talk to you.

"What do you drink? Fruit juice or red wine? Xu Guanwu thought that he wouldn't shoot any celebrity's ass, so he didn't bother to pay attention to these people present, turned his head and asked Zhao Yazhi with a smile.

"I'll just drink juice like you." Zhao Yazhi nodded, and then whispered, "Ah Wu, why didn't anyone come to greet us?" ”

"No one greets anyone, we have more fun playing by ourselves." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, and didn't wait for the waiter to come over, he walked over directly and took two glasses of juice.

"Well, yes, this juice should be freshly squeezed, and the taste is quite good." Xu Guanwu smiled and said.

"No one pays attention to us, do you still have the energy to taste juice?" Zhao Yazhi frowned slightly and whispered.

"What do you do with them? Am I still short of money to spend? Xu Guanwu said, "Their juice here is really good, Ah Zhi, you drink a little more, it's good for the skin." ”

"This is the juice squeezed from Indonesian mangosteen fruit, and if Mr. Xu likes it, he will pack a box and take it home when he turns around." At this time, someone suddenly said with a smile next to him.

Xu Guanwu turned his head to take a look, and saw Shen Bi standing beside him.

"Manager Shen, how elusive you are, you almost scared me." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Today's party is not small. ”

"Yes, today is the 110th anniversary of HSBC's founding, and all our customers who have close contact with HSBC will receive our invitation." Shen Bi explained with a smile.

Xu Guanwu sighed that HSBC's business was booming and his connections were extensive, and at the same time, he also guessed another meaning, that is, Shen Bi should be about to take the position.

At the 110th anniversary party of HSBC, Shen Bi, as the general manager, was the organizer of the party, but the chairman of HSBC was willing to let go, indicating that it should not be far from the time when Shen Bi took office.

Not only Xu Guanwu saw the strangeness, but many people present had also seen it. This can be known from the way they looked at Shen Bi, there was a golden light in those eyes, and they simply regarded Shen Bi as a moving mountain of gold, or a god of wealth who beckoned wealth and treasure.

When they saw Shen Caishen talking and laughing with Xu Guanwu, a nobody, they even became interested in Xu Guanwu. However, although Xu Guanwu has a great reputation in the film industry, he is not famous in the business world.

You can't expect a big boss who has a lot of opportunities to take the time to buy a ticket to the theater to watch "Fa Qian Han", or go into a small store to shop and copy a copy of "Tiantian Daily".

However, some people in Zuihou still recognized Xu Guanwu and knew that he was now a film tycoon in Hong Kong, with newspapers and theaters, and more importantly, 20 office buildings in the downtown area, and a movie that earned 240 million US dollars......

After hearing Xu Guanwu's performance, some rich people began to regret it. I regret that I didn't take the initiative to talk to me just now. After all, billionaires are worth billions of dollars. Nowadays, it is a rare animal in Hong Kong. Not like twenty years later. A net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars is just a child.

However, there are also many people who disdain it, "It's just a nouveau riche who has taken shit luck, and it's only been two years since he was mixed with mud legs, and he has no background at all." Look at what the women around him are wearing, and the soil doesn't pull a few ......."

Xu Guanwu noticed that since Shen Bi came to his side, there were many eyes around him, some friendly and some disdainful. There is hostility, and so on. Xu Guanwu couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

"This is Mr. Xu, your wife, it's really beautiful." Shen Bi smiled and praised, "By the way, it just so happens that I have a few friends who introduced you to you." ”

Saying that, Shen Bi took Xu Guanwu and Zhao Yazhi to some guests to introduce him.

Through Shen Bi's introduction, Xu Guanwu got acquainted with many wealthy people in Hong Kong, such as the Kadoorie family who runs Hong Kong Power, Shijie boat kings Dong Haoyun, Bao Yugang, real estate kings Lee Shau-kee, Kwok Tak-sheng and so on.

It can also be seen from the guests present that the proportion of wealthy Chinese businessmen has exceeded half. It shows vigorous development potential.

"I heard that Mr. Xu has a property in the prosperous area of Hong Kong and Kowloon, I don't know when I can cooperate?" Lee Shau Kee asked with a smile.

Hui knew that Lee Shau Kee was also a well-known super-rich man in Hong Kong. The net worth is only half a chip compared with Li Ka-shing, so I can't help but be very interested in his request for cooperation.

"Okay, I don't know how Mr. Li wants to cooperate?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

"That's right, don't tell lies in front of real people, I know that the area where Mr. Xu's properties are located, and the subway will be built in recent years. Therefore, the potential for future appreciation is very large. So I want to buy those buildings from you. Lee Shau Kee said with a smile.

"Oh?! I don't know how much you're willing to pay for it? Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Although I bought these office buildings at the bottom of the stock market crash in 73 years, you also know that now that the economy is recovering and property prices are rising, if the price is not high, I will not sell it easily." ”

Previously, Zheng Yutong, the jewelry king, wanted to buy Xu Guanwu's office building, but at that time he still wanted to hide the good news and lower the price to buy those properties. After being recognized by Xu Guanwu, he never came into contact with it again.

Now that the news of the government's plan to build a subway has spread, the price of Xu Guanwu's 20 properties has soared, 50% more than when it was acquired in '74, and is more likely to more than double in the future. In addition, Xu Guanwu himself is not short of money to spend, so the price is not very high and cannot impress him at all.

"To tell you the truth, I can't even get out 10 million Hong Kong dollars right now." Lee Shau Kee said with a wry smile.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "Are you kidding me?" ”

If you can't even take out 10 million Hong Kong dollars, what kind of acquisition is there to talk about? Xu Guanwu's current property, the largest building, also costs 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

"I mean, can I buy it for shares?" Lee Shau Kee asked tentatively.

"A share swap acquisition? Which company's shares? Xu Guanwu asked.

"I just started a stake in Henderson." Lee Shau Kee said calmly.

Xu Guanwu immediately became interested when he heard this name. Henderson Land, it seems that a large real estate company with a market value of more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars in later generations, some of them are engaged!

"What is the current market value of your company, and how many shares can you share with me?" Xu Guanwu asked curiously.

"Henderson is now worth HK$150 million and has a total of 20 properties." Lee Shau Kee said with a smile.

He's not exaggerating, he's just telling the truth. Because if you want to check this thing, you can't hide it from people at all. Besides, Lee Shau Kee is also a well-known figure in Hong Kong, and he will not smash his own signboard for a business.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it, he didn't expect that Henderson Land, which was so famous in later generations, would now have a market value of only 150 million Hong Kong dollars, which is simply the price of Chinese cabbage.

But with this money, you want to exchange shares for acquisition?! Xu Guanwu spent a total of 300 million Hong Kong dollars when he bought those buildings, and now it has risen to at least 4.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. 150 million Hong Kong dollars, which can only buy six to seven office buildings.

However, Xu Guanwu did not look down on Lee Shau Kee at all, jokes, can grow from 150 million to 100 billion, and become one of the top real estate developers in Hong Kong, then Lee Shau Kee is simply a business wizard.

Xu Guanwu knew that if he hadn't traveled through time anyway, if he had so many advanced memories of later generations, he would still be doing chores in the crew.

"Then how much of my share can you share?" Xu Guanwu asked again.

"If you look at market capitalization, you're obviously the largest shareholder in the company after the merger." Lee Shau Kee said, "But I also know that Mr. Xu is not interested in the real estate industry, so I will share 49% of your shares at most." For the rest of the money, I want to use the help of Manager Shen to make up the difference with HSBC's money. Do you think that's appropriate? ”

When Xu Guanwu heard this, he couldn't help but be impressed by Li Shauji, which was almost the same as Li Ka-shing's matter of swallowing Hutchison Whampoa without spending a penny.

Lee Shau Kee can buy 20 office buildings in prosperous areas without spending a penny, and he can use these office buildings to take out mortgages, and then use the loan proceeds to pay for the buildings. The excess loan can be used to continue investing in real estate.

Doing business and doing people's part is the real bull fork! (To be continued......)
