"That's fine, at present, we do have too many Hong Kong dollars in our hands, and we can't spend them a little." Zhou Jiayang nodded and said.

Whether it is Hisense Bank or Hutchison, they have earned a lot of Hong Kong dollars by exchanging dollars for Hong Kong dollars, and these have a tendency to not be spent in a short period of time, and because the Hong Kong dollar has not really stabilized yet, it is not convenient for them to exchange foreign exchange on a large scale.

"Yes, instead of using this money to repay the land debt, it is better to privatize it first, the debt, I will let the United States come forward to guarantee, let those creditor banks stabilize first, as long as the real estate recovers, then everything will not be a problem." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.

When he came to Hong Kong, his biggest goal was not to acquire Hutchison or Wharf, but Hongkong Land, because the first two had been successfully acquired in the original history, and Hongkong Land can be said to be the place where Chinese capital has failed many times in a row, and it has a large number of high-quality properties, which is also incomparable with Hutchison or Wharf or even the Swire Group that owns Cathay Pacific Airways.

"What about Jardine? Are we really ready to acquire? Zhou Jiayang asked again. At the beginning, when they acquired Jardine Matheson shares, in fact, the fundamental purpose was to buy land, and the two equity companies are closely related, and starting from Jardine Matheson is also a model of indirect control of land.

But now with the cooperation of Niu Bijian, the land has been obtained, although Jardine Matheson did not succeed in this vote, but as long as the follow-up efforts are made, it will basically be.

Jardine Matheson is a multinational group, but Zhou Jiayang has also studied it, to be honest, no, the business is chaotic, it is purely a variety of capital investment, and all kinds of resources are not gathered together to promote each other.

"Jardine Matheson, the main assets are still overseas, I actually don't care, but since they are almost in hand, naturally I can't let it go, wait until I get it, sort it out, sell what should be sold, and keep the valuable." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "I need two businesses, the first is that they have many farms in Hawaii, Indonesia, and Thailand, which are all valuable, and we must stay, and we don't need to develop them ourselves at that time, just cooperate with Guo Henian from Malaysia."

The second is that Jardine Matheson has a very complete car sales channel in Southeast Asia, which is also what I need. ”

When he was in the mainland before, Guo Henian once told Chen Zhiwen that Jardine Matheson has a lot of agricultural farm investment in Southeast Asia, and later after Chen Zhiwen returned to Hong Kong, he arranged for someone to investigate, it is really true, Jardine Matheson Group has sugarcane farms in Indonesia and Hawaii, and there are also durian and other tropical fruit farms in Thailand, which are very large, partly self-sustaining and partly long-term leases.

Although it is much worse than various other investments, Chen Zhiwen is still more interested, he does not have any farms in Southeast Asia, and the farm plants in the tropics are still different from those he bought in the United States and South America.

Of course, he will not run it himself, after buying it, he will just hand it over to Guo Henian, and he can collect rent according to the market price, and if he has the ability in the future, he will run it himself.

Another strong point of Jardine Matheson is that it represents many brands of cars around the world, which used to be only sold in Hong Kong, but then it became larger and larger, and began to expand to Southeast Asia.

Decades of hard work, even if the funds are not as much as Chen Zhiwen, but the scale is much stronger than what they have done in a short time, with these automobile trading companies, then their own AMC cars in the United States, it is equivalent to opening up a new big market, and the entire group industrial chain has formed a high-quality cycle.

"Okay, I'll prepare a list of all kinds of assets soon." Zhou Jiayang said.

"Well, I also need to prepare a copy of the land, and I want to have more detailed information." Chen Zhiwen also said that although many people knew what large properties Hongkong Land had before, outsiders did not know about other smaller ones or those that were not revealed after the acquisition, and at the same time, the specific debt situation still needs to be understood.

Now that Hongkong Land has been acquired, it is natural that you can directly adjust the internal information, and the real situation of various finances will be very clear.

"Okay, I'll arrange this." Zhou Jiayang nodded and said that before Hongkong became independent, he could still meddle in the affairs of Hongkong Land, although it was a pity that Hongkong Land was not merged into Hutchison, but if the scale of the entire Hutchison was too large, it may not be so easy for him to control.

……

"Hongkong Land changed hands, and Hong Kong's richest man, Chen Zhiwen, once again defeated British-funded foreign firms, acquired Hongkong Land, and defeated Jardine Matheson!"

At noon on the same day, the Hong Kong Economic Journal urgently issued a general emergency edition of the journal, and the front page of the cover was Chen Zhiwen's acquisition of Hongkong Land.

As a matter of fact, Hong Kong Economic Journal, as a newspaper directly controlled by Hutchison, had already made several newspapers last night, and also sent people to the shareholders' meeting, and when the results came out, they immediately informed their families, and then printed them on a large scale, and by noon, they were guaranteed to come out.

As soon as the news came out, the whole Hong Kong boom again, this is not only an unprecedented merger and acquisition in Hong Kong, but also the strongest blow of Chinese capital to British capital, the previous Hutchison, Wharf, Hong Kong Electric and CLP, are not comparable to the status of Hongkong Land in the hearts of Hong Kong people, and such a company was quietly acquired by Chinese capital.

Some stock market speculators can't help but feel a pity, they can actually know that Chen Zhiwen must be determined to win the land, after all, one side has abundant funds and is calling for wind and rain in the global market, and the other side is beaten by the real estate crisis and is sluggish and heavily indebted.

Many of them also have prepared funds and are ready to take advantage of the chaos to speculate and make a profit, and many of them even collected the shares of Hongkong Land in advance.

It is a pity that the large-scale large-scale acquisition of the imaginary thunderous momentum did not appear, but through the shareholders' meeting, Taipan New Bijian actually took the initiative to introduce Chen Zhiwen's capital, and in one fell swoop, the latter obtained a controlling stake in Hongkong Land at an almost unbelievably low cost.

"This Chen Zhiwen is really powerful, several large-scale acquisitions, not once let people in the stock market have many opportunities to make a profit." Inside the Hong Kong stock exchange, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses sighed.

"Yes, this is the most powerful, a truly successful acquisition can achieve the goal at the lowest cost, and outsiders don't want to take the opportunity to make a profit." The people around him said: "Back then, Hongkong Land acquired Dairy International and Bao Yugang acquired China Power, which was a stir and a sensation in Hong Kong. ”

The golden glasses nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too, this is the highest level." ”

"Then do we still have to sell the stock in our hands?" The person next to him asked.

"No, I think Chen Zhiwen's next step may be to privatize Hongkong Land, anyway, Hongkong Land's shares are not high now, and it doesn't matter if waiting." The man in gold-wire glasses said.

"Privatized land? The amount of money required for this is huge, plus Hongkong Land's debts? Chen Zhiwen has so much money? The people around him said in surprise.

"There are some things you can't touch." The man with gold wire glasses shook his head and said: "Not to mention the success of Chen Zhiwen's overseas business, it is the last Hong Kong dollar exchange rate crisis, and the profits earned by Hisense Bank are so high that ordinary people can't imagine!"

Now his eyes have turned to British capital, and if HSBC is not protected by the Hong Kong government, I guess he would even want to buy HSBC. ”

HSBC is the quasi-central bank of Hong Kong, so the Hong Kong government limits each shareholder to hold a maximum of 1% of the shares, it is true that multiple accounts can be acquired, but these stocks cannot be combined at the legal level, and the voting rights are equal to none, so it is impossible for any consortium to acquire HSBC, which is also HSBC's Taipan, and there is no need to consider any risk of loss of management rights, because it is impossible.

"In that case, we won't have to buy a little more shares of Land." The people around him said with a smile.

The man with golden wire glasses nodded and said: "Immediately mobilize funds to acquire Hongkong shares, it doesn't matter if it goes up, if Chen Zhiwen wants to be privatized, it will definitely not be lower than the lowest price half a year ago, this is the bottom line of the law." ”

"Okay, I'll do it." The people around him nodded in agreement.

Cheung Kong Headquarters:

"Chen Zhiwen is really a good method, through Niu Bijian, he almost didn't pay any extra price, and he acquired Land, I have to say that it is really powerful." Li Jiacheng had already gotten the news before he saw the newspaper, but he was not completely 100% sure, although the probability of this kind of thing being fake is not high, but it is also possible, and it was only when Chen Zhiwen's letter newspaper reported the content, and the same news came from various channels, Li Jiacheng said with emotion.

"This is normal, Hisense Bank has made so much money in the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate crisis, Chen Zhiwen is fully capable of acquiring Hongkong Land, even if Hongkong Land's debts are sky-high, he can also suppress it, and the creditor banks are estimated to be eager for Chen Zhiwen to become the owner of Hongkong Land." Zhuang Yueming said while peeling grapes.

"In fact, the biggest mistake Jardine made was that when foreign enemies were eyeing him, there was such a serious internal strife, and the Keswick family wanted to force Niu Bijian to leave, but in the end they forced Niu Bijian to Chen Zhiwen's side." Li Jiacheng said with a smile: "Of course, Chen Zhiwen is also a risky move, from his stake in Thailand's Great Agricultural Bank, it is enough to show that he is ready to let Hongkong die first, and then find a way to acquire, this move can indeed break the mutual control of Yizhi, but for Chen Zhiwen, the price is also very large, and the mess to be cleaned up later is also very troublesome." ”

"This time Hongkong Land was acquired, and the British capital in Hong Kong is left with HSBC, Swire, and Wheelock a little scale, I really can't imagine that it has become like this in less than ten years." Zhuang Yueming also said with emotion, ten years ago at the beginning of 1973, it was also the highest period of the stock market, at that time, the real estate five tigers were only a joke for Chinese capital, saying that it was five tigers, in fact, the sum of the five was not as large as any large foreign bank, and ten years later, the five tigers became giants, and Chen Zhiwen, who no one knew 10 years ago, has become the head of the largest consortium in Hong Kong, that is, the quasi-central bank HSBC, I am afraid that he will have to be pressed down.

"That's how things have changed." Li Jiacheng nodded and said: "However, Chen Zhiwen's acquisition of Hongkong Land is a very good signal, I estimate that the real estate market may be coming to the end, and now is the time for us to buy the bottom." ”

"I'm for you, just think it's right." Zhuang Yueming said with a smile.

"Well, we also made a small profit during the Hong Kong dollar crisis before, and we used it to hoard land, which is pretty good." Li Jiacheng said with a smile.

Hong Kong, HSBC Headquarters:

"It seems that Hong Kong is really no longer our British-funded world." Shen Bi sighed, shook his head and said.
