"The richest Chinese in the world, Chen, is worth more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

"Hong Kong's richest man is once again the richest man in China!"

"The next step for the richest man in China, how far is the richest man in the world?"

The headline of the newspaper on February 1, 1982 was even more exciting and gripping than that of the previous two days, 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, even if it was distributed to 5 million people in Hong Kong equally, each person could get 4,000 Hong Kong dollars, a figure that many people could not save in a year.

And for many people who play finance, they naturally know what the concept of this money is, with this kind of asset, as long as they are bold, then double the leverage of the funds, and the funds that can be mobilized will be astronomical, not to mention that they can also control more assets through various methods.

In Hong Kong, there are many billionaires worth barely 100 million who control a market value of more than 1 billion through various means of holding shares.

"Chen Zhiwen's worth is absolutely impossible to be like this." At the headquarters of Cheung Kong Industrial Group, Li Jiacheng directly threw it aside after reading the introduction after reading the newspaper and said.

His wife, Zhuang Yueming, picked up the newspaper, read it roughly, and asked, "Many of Chen Zhiwen's companies are unlisted, how do you know?" ”

"Just by feeling, just one Hutchison, if it is listed, the market value will definitely not be less than 5 billion, not to mention the stronger Midea and Red Bull." Li Jiacheng shook his head and said.

"The evaluation of Hutchison in this Fortune magazine is actually quite high, but they are not optimistic about Hutchison's large-scale projects in the mainland, especially the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou Expressway, with a total investment of more than 1 billion US dollars. Zhuang Yueming said.

"That group of Yankees, understand the domestic economy, I don't know if the rest of the country can develop, but the vicinity of Yanjing will definitely not be bad, as long as the country adheres to the current route to the economy, with their labor costs and the number of talents, Yanjing is Hong Kong in the 50s, and in another 20 years, the economic level will definitely increase significantly, and Hutchison controls the only highway leading to the port, and it will definitely make a lot of money in the future." Li Jiacheng shook his head and said.

"It's right to think like this, Hong Kong was able to rely on industry to rise back then, that is, it relied on a large number of knowledgeable talents from the mainland, and now that the country is opening up to the outside world, a large number of talents will also give priority to gathering in big cities like Yanjing." Zhuang Yueming thought about Li Jiacheng's words, then nodded and said.

How did Hong Kong rise? By the UK? No, although there are high-quality water ports here, there are many such places that once had the sun never set in the empire, but Hong Kong is the only one that has developed into the top city.

The most fundamental reason is that a few decades ago, a large number of wealthy people from the mainland entered Hong Kong with their wealth and a large number of intellectuals entered Hong Kong.

The latter played a greater role, which made Hong Kong full of literate people, and with low enough wages, it soon became the most famous foundry site in the world, and the development of industry facilitated everything, which eventually formed the Hong Kong it is today.

Although the talent rate of the mainland is also very low, if it is gathered in big cities, the number of talents will far exceed that of Hong Kong 30 years ago, and the development potential will naturally be greater.

"People like Chen Zhiwen have risen in Hong Kong, and now they have achieved very high results in the United States, you don't really think that he relies on luck, right? I dare to say that his vision is definitely at the top level in the world, and he hyped industrial land back then, and now he thinks about it is a clever move. Li Jiacheng shook his head and said.

"Then you are also a director of CITIC Group now, since you are also optimistic about the domestic market, why don't you invest?" Zhuang Yueming asked again, many years ago, she often assisted Li Jiacheng in business, but later after having children, plus Cheung Kong recruited a lot of professionals, she also raised children at home.

"My funds are limited, not as good as Chen Zhiwen, so let's invest in Hong Kong." Li Jiacheng said: "Let me tell you one more thing, since the beginning of last year, Chen Zhiwen's real estate company began to slowly empty its real estate business, and now, it is basically gone, and housing prices have fallen since the end of last year, and this year, the office buildings in Central are still strong." ”

"Chen Zhiwen saw that the real estate market was going to go wrong at the beginning of last year?" Zhuang Yueming was shocked and said: "At that time, housing prices have been rising. ”

"Yes, I only found out about this anomaly in the middle of last year, and I also thought that there might be a problem with the housing price, Chen Zhiwen was half a year earlier than me, so I did the same later, reducing some new projects and collecting funds, but I don't know when the land price will have a problem." Li Jiacheng said with hope in his eyes.

"I guess it's fast, not long after the last Diwang auction, Central rose a little at that time, but now it has fallen a lot." Zhuang Yueming said with a smile.

"It's a lot of losses, Hongkong Land has lost 1 billion, if it falls again, Hongkong Land's profits in the past two years will have to be spit out." Li Jiacheng said with a smile.

"Chen Zhiwen has not been optimistic about the real estate market before, but he suddenly participated in the land king auction, do you guess it is just to stimulate the land?" Zhuang Yueming said again.

Li Jiacheng was stunned for a moment, thought about it and said: "When you say this, I think of one thing, there was an official of the Lands Department who once complained to a friend after drinking, saying that Chen Zhiwen urged the Hong Kong government to auction the land king as soon as possible, but he refused to bid with Hongkong Land at the auction. ”

"It's worthy of Chen Zhiwen, no wonder you will become the richest Chinese in the world, you will probably not be able to get this position in the future." Zhuang Yueming shook his head and said.

"Forget it, just be pretty yourself." Li Jiacheng shook his head and said: "I'm going to go to Canada, there are some real estate businesses there, do you want to go together?" ”

"Okay, I want to see my son too." Zhuang Yueming nodded and said.

"HK$20 billion, which is higher than the market value of our entire Jardine Matheson system." After reading the news, Niu Bijian sighed and said.

"Yes, it's much higher than HSBC, I heard that HSBC hasn't had Chen Zhiwen in the United States, I don't know what Shen Bi will think when he sees this news?" Bao Fuda said with a smile.

"Forget it, it's none of our business, the land price has fallen again recently, it's really a headache, although it won't affect our cash flow, but if it goes on like this, our stock mortgage in the bank will have problems." Niu Bijian said with a frown.

"Then why don't we come a few more times and pull up the land price again?" Bao Fuda asked.

"Okay, but I still need to discuss it with the Keswick family, who have recently been close to several officials in Prime Minister Thatcher's government and may have a better idea of the future of Hong Kong." Niu Bijian said.

Bao Fuda asked: "What is the attitude of the British government?" ”

"Stay the course and don't give up." Niu Bijian said.

In the whole of Hong Kong, almost all adults at the moment are watching this content, although everyone has no money, but they like to watch the introduction of rich people!

Many media even directly approached Chen Zhiwen's home or company and wanted to conduct interviews, but now the Chen family's bodyguard team, it can be said that there is a battalion of people, and they are all professional bodyguards, how can it be the turn of these Hong Kong reporters to be arrogant.

For Chen Zhiwen, Fortune magazine naturally has a lot of mistakes, first of all, they don't know their earnings in the gold market, which is really not known to many people, because he was through more than a dozen European and American investment banks, each invested a little to do long gold, although each of them also has a small income of hundreds of millions of dollars, but for any super investment bank, it is not a shocking amount of money.

Unless these consortia tell each other about this in private, but this is unlikely, not to mention Europe and the United States, that is, within the United States, these investment banks are also competitors, and the relationship between the parties cannot be said to be enemies, but they are not good friends, besides, even if there is a good relationship, the two people will not discuss Chen Zhiwen's matter, because there is no lead, Chen Zhiwen's profits in each family are actually nothing to the entire big investment bank.

And Midea's valuation is naturally seriously undervalued, but if you look at it as a general game company, it is almost the same, because under normal circumstances, few game companies can continue to be popular, and it is a miracle to be popular for 5 years, which is also a problem for many technology companies, when there is no sufficiently stable long-term income product, the valuation will be very low, because companies that need to rely on different products to maintain market share are always very risky, and once the next product fails, it may immediately be knocked to the bottom.

But no matter what, the content of "Fortune" has a great impact on Hong Kong, Asia and even China.

It was fast to February, and Henry Morgan and some of the Morgan's family businesses finally took action against RCA.

First of all, a small beverage factory under the Morgan consortium, when investing in Taoyuan City, it was found that part of the water source in Taoyuan City contained some heavy metals and organic chemicals, and some heavy metals appeared, which may be said in the past, but the organic chemicals were obviously polluted, so the Wanwan Provincial Environmental Protection Department immediately began a secret investigation after learning the news.

Coincidentally, an employee from RCA, who reported RCA with his real name, opened several deep-water wells in his factory, and took videos with a camera and sent them to the Wanwan environmental protection department.

At the same time, several large media companies located in Hong Kong, Japan, and the United States have also received a lot of substantial pollution photos and a large amount of data, including emissions, emission substances, time, etc., which is big news, these media companies received the information such as a treasure, and quickly added oil and vinegar to poke it out, maybe these media will be afraid of the US government, but an American company is different, the media outside the United States are not afraid at all, and they do not live in the United States, and the American media is not serious. This kind of thing, I stand on the moral high ground.

As a result, almost within a few days, the news of RCA's large-scale discharge of chemicals into the aquifer in Taoyuan City, Wanwan Province, spread halfway around the world, and the environmental protection department of Wanwan City was not at all polite, and directly closed the door of RCA, except for ordinary employees, everyone else was locked up in the factory, and some who were not in the factory also stopped their exit permits.

"RCA is a disgrace to American corporations, a disgrace to humanity, they are destroying our homeland, destroying our planet, destroying the environment we live in, and putting hundreds of thousands of ordinary people at risk to their lives."

At the headquarters of NBC Television in the United States, countless "volunteers" from environmental protection departments held loudspeakers and shouted loudly outside, and various slogans such as "protect the environment and severely punish the perpetrators" were also written on countless banners.

On the top floor of the NBC headquarters building, CEO Brad looked at the hundreds of people holding up signs and making trouble below, as well as the dozens of almost indifferent security guards around them, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What's the matter with those security guards? Why drive these people? ”

The blonde secretary next to him paused and replied: "Sir, these environmentalists are not easy to mess with, there are not even some reporters here, if our people intervene and there is a conflict, and we are on the news, we will be even more passive." ”

"Can you be more passive than now, ABC and CBS almost pointed at me and scolded me." Brad became angry, but quickly returned to normal, asking, "What's going on over there?" Have you checked it out? ”

"The local government has locked down our factories and more than 300 Americans have been detained, including 60 Chinese Americans, and we have protested through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but the other party has not responded." The blonde secretary said.

"So what's going on here?" Brad asked.

The blonde secretary replied: "Now the news reported by the major media is true, I have asked a few engineers and managers who have just been transferred back from Wanwan, and they all know about it, Wanwan factory, during the day, will put all kinds of waste oil and solutions into the sewage treatment tank, and to others it is said that it is used to deal with it at night when the electricity price is cheap, but in fact, it is directly discharged into the ground at night." ”

"Which idiot came up with this idea? How much does it cost to treat the water? In this situation, the stock price of the company has fallen by 10%, and our entire company stinks around the world. Brad almost vomited blood.

"I've asked, this is indeed the idea of the resident personnel over there, but I don't know who came out yet, and the engineers who have been to Wanwan don't know, only that they have been executing it for a long time." The blonde secretary changed the topic, in fact, it doesn't matter who came up with the idea, Wanwan did this, it must be because the pressure from the headquarters is too great, because even if RCA moves the factory to Wanwan, where the labor cost is lower, RCA's manufacturing cost is still not as good as the Japanese, and after a long time, the headquarters naturally desperately asks the Wanwan factory to reduce costs, and in the end, someone goes sideways.
