Chapter 468: Big Move

"You're about to become a parent, so you have to set a good example for your son." Xu Guanwu said, "Okay, choose your favorite 100 sets of clothes, and I'll send the rest to the TV station's clothing department." ”

"I can only keep a hundred sets, it's too little. If you want to keep some more, I'll donate 500 pieces. Zhao Yazhi heard him say this, and hurriedly hugged her beloved clothes.

"Just keep a hundred pieces, and you'll be able to wear them all the time. A hundred, no more. Xu Guanwu waved his hand, his tone was very resolute, and there was no room for negotiation.

"But there are so many clothes in this dress, everyone likes them very much, I really can't choose them." Zhao Yazhi said trickly, "Why don't you stay and wait for me to choose slowly?" ”

"No, let me help you quickly." Xu Guanwu smiled and grabbed two pieces of clothes with both hands at the same time, "These two clothes, do you choose the left hand or the right hand?" ”

"Well, on the left hand, Chanel's new style last autumn, and I'm going to wear it again this year." The right hand is a limited edition of GUCCI, and there are only three pieces in Hong Kong. I'm reluctant to donate it......" Zhao Yazhi bit her fingers and muttered to herself, unable to make a choice at all.

"Three, two, one! It's time! Xu Guanwu shouted, and casually threw the two clothes in his hand on the floor.

"Ahh MY CHANEL, MY GUCCI LIMITED EDITION! Zhao Yazhi immediately shouted frantically.

"Do you choose your left hand or your right hand?" Xu Guanwu didn't explain much to her, and continued to take out two pieces of clothes from the wardrobe and put them in front of Zhao Yazhi.

"Three seconds to think about it, if you don't make a decision. Both pieces of clothing were donated. Xu Guanwu said with a ruthless face.

"Well, three seconds is enough, at least let people think about it more." Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but say angrily.

"Three. Two, one! It's time! Xu Guanwu kept a straight face and only shouted slogans, and as soon as the time came, he threw away the clothes in his hands.

"Alright, alright, I'll pick the one on the left. It was a limited edition from DIOR last year, and I waited a long time to get it. Seeing this, Zhao Yazhi hurriedly shouted.

Xu Guanwu stupidly threw the clothes on his left hand to Zhao Yazhi, "You shout earlier next time." Otherwise, I'll still have to donate it. ”

Zhao Yazhi hugged this DIOR limited edition with a look of pity, like a loving mother hugging her son who had returned from a study tour, "People are reluctant to donate you." You can rest assured. ”

"These two clothes, do you choose the left hand or the right hand......" Xu Guanwu continued to ask firmly.

……

After being busy for an hour, Xu Guanwu used this method to force Zhao Yazhi to choose a hundred clothes. The rest of the clothes were packed by the servants. After that, it was handed over to the costume department of the TV station.

Zhao Yazhi saw that all her beloved clothes were going to be packed and sent away, and she couldn't help but pout angrily, vowing never to pay attention to her husband again.

"What's wrong, angry with me?" Xu Guanwu saw his wife pouting and ignoring him, so he couldn't help but salivate and asked.

Zhao Yazhi simply turned her face away from looking at him.

"Don't be angry, the so-called old doesn't go and the new doesn't come. Didn't you say you were going to buy a few clothes for the banquet? I'll go buy it with you later, okay? Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Zhao Yazhi still ignored him with a straight face.

"You really don't want me to accompany you to buy new clothes?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile, seeing that his wife still ignored him with a cold face, he stretched his waist greatly. "In that case, then I'll go back to my room and rest."

Xu Guanwu said and turned around and walked towards his bedroom.

"Give me back!" Zhao Yazhi reached out and grabbed it. grabbed the corner of his clothes, "I donated all my beloved clothes, if you don't wait to buy me dozens of clothes as compensation, I will ignore you in the future." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll buy you dozens of clothes as compensation." Xu Guanwu nodded, "But it's just this time, and you still have to be in moderation next time you buy clothes." ”

Zhao Yazhi nodded, "That's pretty much it." Gone, the shopping went. ”

Xu Guanwu saw that she was so excited when she said shopping, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly and shook his head, it seems that a woman's love for beauty is really strong.

……

That day, I accompanied my wife to go shopping and buy dozens of sets of clothes, and filled the wardrobe that had just been emptied again. This speed of filling the wardrobe made Xu Guanwu a little dumbfounded.

However, seeing the smile on his wife's face that bloomed again, Xu Guanwu still felt that the clothes were worth buying.

In the banquet in the next few days, Zhao Yazhi accompanied him to the banquet. Although she is now more than two months pregnant, because she is slender in her own body, and she is only two months old and not pregnant, she is still as radiant as ever. Everywhere he went, he was a stunner who turned all beings upside down, attracting the blazing eyes of countless men, and Xu Guanwu also felt extra face-saving.

At the annual Spring Festival dinner held by HSBC, Xu Guanwu also heard the news that Li Jiacheng planned to buy the shares of Hutchison Whampoa in the hands of HSBC, which couldn't help but immediately attract his attention.

Xu Guanwu is aware of the history of Li Jiacheng's fortune, and it was because of the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa that he became the first Chinese Taipan in Hong Kong, and since then he has become the hottest businessman in Hong Kong, and began his decades-long history of dominating Hong Kong.

Hutchison Whampoa was not a company before, but was divided into two companies, Hutchison, which operated real estate, and Whampoa, which operated the shipping and shipbuilding industries.

In the 70s, Hutchison, a British-owned foreign company engaged in the real estate industry, fell into business difficulties due to repeated investment failures. At that time, HSBC injected funds to avoid bankruptcy and liquidation, and HSBC became the majority shareholder of Hutchison.

Huangpu used to be engaged in shipping and shipbuilding business, but in the late 70s, the shipping industry was depressed, and Huangpu also fell into business difficulties. Under the auspices of the majority shareholder HSBC, Hutchison and Whampoa successfully merged and became known as Hutchison Whampoa.

After the merger, Hutchison Whampoa has not come out of the operating difficulties, on the contrary, the stock price has been sluggish. HSBC, as a major shareholder, has custody of a lot of Hutchison Whampoa shares. However, as a bank, it is not suitable to hold shares of listed companies for too long. Therefore, substitution management has become its first choice.

At first, Shen Bi took a fancy to Xu Guanwu's investment vision and planned to ask him to help take over this mess. But Xu Guanwu has no interest in doing real estate, so he can only look for it from others. And then Li Jiacheng walked into his sight.

Li Jiacheng first started as a plastic flower. In the late 50s, he got involved in the real estate market, and at first it was just a small fight, starting by building industrial buildings and leasing them.

In the 60s, the Cultural Revolution in the mainland spread to Hong Kong, and many wealthy people sold their properties one after another, and no one was willing to take over many properties that were sold cheaply. Li Jiacheng saw the opportunity to make a timely move and took the opportunity to hoard a large amount of land.

In the 70s. Lee Ka-shing's company was successfully listed, and the Hong Kong stock market was booming at that time, known as the era of "shark fin rice". As soon as all the shares were issued, they were rushed up by Hong Kong citizens in a frenzy. The stock price continues to climb. At that time, many companies gave up on business, sold their real estate properties, and cashed out to speculate in stocks.

But compared to the fanaticism of the people around him, Li Jiacheng is unusually calm. He threw away the stock in his hand. After that, he took a large amount of cash and took the opportunity to acquire a lot of land and properties. In 73, Hong Kong suffered a major stock market crash. The stock price plummeted, bankrupt, bankrupt, crazy, jumped, I don't know how many.

Although the stock price of Li Jiacheng's company also fell sharply, because it withdrew early before the stock market crash, the personal losses were basically not large. And continue to take advantage of the stock market crash. Crazy to absorb cheap real estate.

Two years later, the Hong Kong stock market recovered, and Lee's company rose again. And has participated in a number of major projects, and has also made a name for itself in the Hong Kong real estate industry, which has also attracted the attention of Shen Bi.

Although Li Ka-shing's net worth at the moment is only seven or eight billion Hong Kong dollars, he is not a first-class rich man in Hong Kong, whether compared with Sun Hung Kai Properties' Kwok Bingxiang, or compared with the red tycoon Huo Yingdong, or compared with the jewelry king Zheng Yutong, Li Ka-shing is still a big step behind.

But what Shen Bi values is not his net worth, but his experience of rising step by step. After detailed investigation and analysis, Shen Bi found that Li Jiacheng was also a business wizard, and his vision was very unique. Whether it was taking advantage of the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution in the 60s to absorb cheap real estate on the market at a low price; When the stock market was at its most popular in the 70s, he calmly withdrew from the market and absorbed real estate properties, all of which showed his keen grasp of market changes.

And looking at this person's step-by-step experience, you can see that this person's steps are very steady and he has never taken any risks. This is very important for running a large company like Hutchison Whampoa.

For example, although Zheng Yutong is known as the king of jewelry and is also the top richest man in Hong Kong, this person is slightly radical in business, so he is known as "shark guts". Although he has won every attack, because he often plays too much, it will also make people pinch a cold sweat.

This kind of business style is not suitable for taking over a large company like Hutchison Whampoa. Because a large company like this, like a giant ship in the ocean, is already crumbling in itself, it is even less able to take radical measures. Otherwise, before the ship turned the corner, it is estimated that it would have been torn apart and sunk into the sea.

Shen Bi chose Li Jiacheng as his successor, in fact, he also thanked Xu Guanwu for his indirect recommendation. If he hadn't asked Shen Bi to absorb the shares of Changjiang Industrial for him, Shen Bi would not have noticed this small real estate company.

At the end of the 70s, Cheung Kong's capital was only 700 million Hong Kong dollars, not to mention Kwok Bingxiang's Sun Hung Kai, even Hu Yingxiang's Hopewell Real Estate, and Lee Shau Kee's Henderson Land. Among so many real estate companies in Hong Kong, they are just the ones that do not slip away.

Because Shen Bi is responsible for managing Xu Guanwu's investment in Hong Kong, and when he found out that Cheung Kong Industrial, which was originally unknown, made a very considerable profit every year, he couldn't help but think about this small company. It was because of this that Li Jiacheng's excellence was discovered.

……

When Xu Guanwu heard the news that Li Jiacheng wanted to acquire Hutchison Whampoa, his first reaction was that Li Jiacheng had already been mixed with Shen Bi. One of these two people has a keen business acumen, while the other has a lot of money, and together they can really be said to be invincible in the world.

But fortunately, Xu Guanwu has also made a lot of preparations in advance, he now owns 30% of the shares of Cheung Kong Industrial, and he also asked Shen Bi to help him absorb the shares of Hutchison Whampoa, and now he has 10% of the shares, it can be said that even if Li Jiacheng can become the owner of Hutchison Whampoa, Xu Guanwu is still a major shareholder. And with the help of Li Jiacheng's business talent, he can continue to create amazing wealth for himself.

This is a money-making master who can't be hired for money!

However, Li Jiacheng has always been dissatisfied with Xu Guanwu's secretly absorbing Cheung Kong Industrial's shares, and if he becomes the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa, the first Chinese foreign bank in Hong Kong, and mixes with Shen Bi, it will inevitably be unfavorable to Xu Guanwu in the future, which also makes Xu Guanwu feel a little threatened.

Therefore, Xu Guanwu wanted to talk to Li Jiacheng first, if he still had a grudge against him, then he would not let Li Jiacheng successfully enter Hutchison Whampoa no matter what. (To be continued......)
