Text Chapter 321, Wealthy Tycoon
"Come, little brother, I'll introduce you to some friends!" Huo Daheng opened the wooden door of the box as he spoke, and led Lei Weidong in.
Lei Weidong stretched out his head to take a look, and saw several people sitting in the room, all of whom were well-known rich people in Hong Kong, such as Li Chaoren, the richest Chinese man in the future, Uncle Li, the king of the land, Bao Daheng, the ship king, Zheng Yutong, the boss of the New World and Chow Tai Fook Group, He Gambling King of Macau, Guo Dabing, Shao Yifu and others were all sitting together talking and laughing.
When everyone saw Huo Daheng leading Lei Weidong into the house, they immediately changed their faces slightly or their bodies were stunned, and they all understood that this red-topped giant businessman supported by the mainland recognized Lei Weidong's qualifications to enter their circle.
The view of the door has existed since ancient times, and it has been tenaciously preserved even now.
You don't see Li Chaoren, who is worth hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars, and he is not in contact with super-rich people of the same level as him, or politicians and others who hold power in a country and region, where will they be friends with those millionaires and multimillionaires, let alone ordinary people.
There is also such a circle in Hong Kong, a circle of super-rich people who really control the economy and destiny of Hong Kong.
Because of the problems left over from history, this circle originally belonged to the British-funded consortium, but with the coercion of the mainland's political forces, the British were forced to surrender Hong Kong's economy and fate to the Chinese consortium in the 80s, and then formed a new pattern of Hong Kong's economy in the future.
Those who can enter this circle are all those who have huge financial and material resources and can easily influence the existence of Hong Kong's economy.
It represents not only a kind of honor and recognition, but also the cooperation between its internal members and the exchange of resources and contacts can play a huge role.
Since the 70s, the Chinese consortium has launched several sniping and anti-takeover wars against British-funded consortia, and the funds involved are not less than 10 billion, even if they are rich and noble like Li Chaoren, they can't bear it, and it is precisely by relying on the internal lending cooperation in this circle that the Chinese have successively won the British-funded groups such as Hutchison Whampoa, Hongkong Electric Group, and Wharf Group, which can be seen.
Now is the time when this circle is gradually formed, and Huo Daheng is now bringing in Lei Weidong, which also shows that the Chinese capital in Hong Kong has begun to recognize Lei Weidong.
After understanding what Huo Daheng meant, Li Chaoren smiled slightly, got up and said, "Mr. Lei, I really have admired the name for a long time. ”
"Each other, each other." Lei Weidong also said with a smile, Li Chaoren at this time was only in his forties, and he was in the prime of his youth. Although his current net worth is only hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, his business ability and influence cannot be denied.
And Lei Weidong even intersected with Li Chaoren, because of Shen Bi's introduction, Lei Weidong absorbed 30% of the shares of Cheung Kong Industrial through HSBC, and is now the second largest shareholder after Li Chaoren.
The current Li Chaoren said that it is difficult to hear, that is, the cattle that helped Lei Weidong reclaim the wasteland, and more than 30% of his net worth will be poached by Lei Weidong in the future.
Of course, Li Chaoren is not a vegetarian, there are many shares of outsiders in the parallel time and space of Changjiang Industry and Hutchison Whampoa, these people have brought Li Chaoren a lot of trouble, and in the end they are not all played by Li Chaoren in the palm of his hand, especially when the stock market crash in 87, Li Chaoren can pit these shareholders to death.
Several minority shareholders almost went bankrupt and jumped off the building.
"Mr. Lei, I have something I don't know and want to ask you, can I ask?" Li Chaoren asked with a smile.
"Of course, excuse me." Mr. Ray also laughed.
"You quietly bought my shares in Cheung Kong through HSBC, but why did you stop buying 30% of the shares? And there was no general meeting of shareholders, and there was no desire to be on the board of directors. What is the purpose? Li Chaoren asked suspiciously.
In the United Kingdom, France, China, Hong Kong and other countries and regions, the law stipulates that if an investor holds more than 30% of the shares of a listed company and continues to make an acquisition, it shall issue a tender offer to all shareholders of the listed company in accordance with the law.
Lei Weidong doesn't want to buy Changjiang Industrial directly, you must know that Lei Weidong doesn't know anything about how to run a real estate company, Changjiang Industrial will definitely play boasting in the hands of Lei Weidong, and Li Chaoren's ability has been tested by history, the best way is of course to hand over Changjiang Industrial to Li Chaoren to be responsible, and Lei Weidong directly relied on Li Chaoren's thigh to make money.
Of course, Li Chaoren will not know this, and now Li Chaoren is worried that because Lei Weidong has too many shares, as long as he applies for a compulsory tender offer in the future, the entire Changjiang Industry will become Lei Weidong's property, and Li Chaoren's hard work for so many years will be turned into water.
The relationship between Li Chaoren and Shen Bi of HSBC is not ordinary, through Shen Bi, Li Chaoren knows how much Lei Weidong's cash deposits in HSBC are, and what scares Li Chaoren even more is that in the past few months, Lei Weidong's deposits have increased by tens of millions of dollars every month.
I really don't know that American money is so easy to make?
"Mr. Li, put your heart in your stomach. I actually didn't have any interest in running the real estate industry, and to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Shen Bijiao of HSBC was optimistic about your business talents, he recommended Cheung Kong stocks to me.
I think that I can make money with you, and I will not think about buying shares of Cheung Kong Industrial. Now it looks like a lucrative investment.
In just half a year, Cheung Kong's stock has risen so much. So Mr. Li, I want to assure you that as long as you can manage Cheung Kong well and make money every year, I will not interfere with the operation of the company. ”
Li Chaoren looked at Lei Weidong suspiciously, and became more and more confused about his intentions.
To tell the truth, if it were him Li Chaoren, he would definitely buy the other party's company, at least he would have absolute control.
Chinese and Europeans and Americans have different personalities, and pay attention to the balance of interests in Europe and the United States, so many big bosses are satisfied with only buying part of the stock to make money in the future. The Chinese like to monopolize, and for those promising companies, they always do everything possible to fight for absolute control to be satisfied.
However, for Lei Weidong's thoughts, it is useless for Li Chaoren not to believe it.
Because Li Chaoren does not have the ability to reduce the shares in Lei Weidong's hands now, you must know that the shares in Lei Weidong's hands are 30%, such a large share, if you want to reduce one, you will spend a lot of money to buy back from him, and the other is to inject funds and dilute the shares.
However, whether it is spending a lot of money to buy back, or injecting funds to dilute shares, it requires a lot of cash. And Lei Weidong's deposits in HSBC reached hundreds of millions of US dollars, far exceeding Li Chaoren's entire net worth.
If Lei Weidong is annoyed, and Lei Weidong directly stays in Changjiang Industrial, then Li Chaoren will be in big trouble.
"Forget it, now you can only take one step at a time." Li Chaoren looked at Lei Weidong's smiling face and decided.
"Then we are welcome to become partners in the future!" Now that the decision has been made, Li Chaoren took the initiative to have a good relationship with Lei Weidong, after all, this is the major shareholder of his company.
With Li Chaoren's approval, it will be easy to do next, under the introduction of Huo Daheng, Lei Weidong and Uncle Li, He Gambling King, Charter Boat King and others took the opportunity to exchange their experiences, and through chatting, everyone also initially accepted Lei Weidong to enter this circle.
After all, in Hong Kong, the economic conditions for entering this circle are indispensable, although Lei Weidong is young, and he has no family support. But Lei Weidong's worth is definitely not below everyone at the scene.
Hong Kong is a society above money, and it is a matter of time before Lei Weidong has so much money to enter this circle, and he is an old fox in what he is doing, of course he is not willing to make stumbling blocks on such a trivial matter.
Of course, Lei Weidong's worth is still a little bit behind these people's families, and his influence is far behind.
Hong Kong's wealthy families have reached their current level after decades of development, and their wealth and influence are definitely not what everyone sees in front of them.
But Lei Weidong is still very young, as the old saying goes, don't bully young people into poverty, who knows what height Lei Weidong can reach in a few years.
Now Lei Weidong's net worth is increasing so fast that these old guys who have been doing business all their lives are surprised, and they can only sigh that God loves Lei Weidong.
"Little brother, I heard that you have 12 million shares of Wharf stock in your hands!" The charter king is obviously interested in the stock in Lei Weidong's hand.
"Yes, I saw Li Superman buy Wharf's shares some time ago, so I followed the acquisition! Why, Brother Bao is interested in Wharf! Seeing that the charter boat king came to him because of the stock of Wharf, Lei Weidong knew that the fish had finally taken the bait.
The reason why Lei Weidong bought the shares of Wharf was not to sell them to the charter ship king in the future and make a profit in the middle.
"Yes, little brother, I do have an interest in those stocks, and of course I know that you will definitely not agree to buy them now! But I want you to promise me one thing! ”
Some time ago, the charter ship king, who successfully acquired the shares in Li Chaoren's hands, of course hoped to acquire the shares in Lei Weidong's hands, but the charter ship king knew Lei Weidong's purchase price, and also knew that Lei Weidong would never sell shares at the current price, so he could only retreat and put forward other requirements.
"Brother Bao, what do you have to say?"
"It's easy! I have just taken a stake in Wharf, and I hope that my little brother on the board of directors can support me to control Wharf! The charter king said what he wanted.
"No problem, Brother Bao! Since I call you big brother, I will definitely look forward to you in Wharf, and even sell the stock to you when the time comes! Because Lei Weidong agreed very happily, he immediately won the favor of the charter king.
"Then thank you, little brother!" If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to the old brother! My brother still has a bit of face in Hong Kong! ”
"There, I still need a lot of care from my brother in the future!" Lei Weidong was also very happy to get the favor of the charter boat king, Bao Tycoon is a veteran tycoon in Hong Kong, and his status is not below Huo Tycoon, and the friendship between these two can be beneficial to his own career.
