I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island
Chapter 591: [The King of Central District-Wu Family!
Chapter 591 [The King of the Central District-Wu Family! 】
The Everbright Building is located in Hong Kong’s famous financial street-Queen’s Road. There are three financial companies in this building, namely, Everbright Bank, Everbright Securities, and Everbright Insurance.
The reputation of Everbright Bank on Hong Kong Island is not high, and it has been very low-key;
The share of deposits has been ranked third in Hong Kong, second only to HSBC and Hang Seng;
If you don’t count Wu Guangyao’s deposit, he might still be ranked behind Standard Chartered.
On the contrary, Everbright Securities is already well-known in Hong Kong and has a remarkable record!
As for, Everbright Insurance is a company formed through a series of acquisitions of small and medium insurance companies;
The insurance revenue market is huge, but Hong Kong’s insurance is basically monopolized by major British insurance companies, and Chinese-owned insurance can only survive through cracks;
Because an insurance company is a sign of ‘credibility’, without long-term steady operation, don’t think about achieving results!
Wu Guangyao came to the office of Everbright Securities and immediately ordered the clerk to let Liu Yu report to him;
In less than three minutes, Liu Yu walked into the office with a smile on his face.
"So fast! I haven't had a sip of tea here yet!" Wu Guangyao joked.
"The boss is busy at work, I can't delay your time!" Liu Yu said relaxedly after sitting down.
This way of getting along can be seen, Wu Guangyao and these executives are very happy to get along;
Of course, Wu Guangyao is generous to these managers, but also very strict;
If anyone did something wrong, Wu Guangyaofei personally called him to the office, not a small scolding, but a big scolding;
If you become anxious and get angry, Wu Guangyao hangs up in the middle of the night to go to the management's house, and it may be a **** curse.
Of course, Wu Guangyao’s scolding is not a moody scolding, but a justified scolding, and the scolding is real;
There are very few cases of wrongdoing. If so, Wu Guangyao was also willing to ask the management to apologize.
In this environment, many of Wu Guangyao’s management can stand alone in the end;
As for resignation, there are basically very few cases, and job-hopping is even rarer.
Wu Guangyao ignored Liu Yu's flattery and said, "How is the fund department's preparations?"
Liu Yu obviously knew the boss’s intention to really care, and said: “Don’t dare to hide the boss, Xian Yi’s ability is very good, he is a man who does important things, and the fund department has been taken care of by him in an orderly manner!”
Zhizi Mo Ruofu, Wu Guangyao is not worried about Wu Xianyi’s ability;
But what worries about is character!
Wu Guangyao said solemnly: “Ability is one thing, and attitude to doing things is one thing! The most indispensable thing for my company is capable people. What you need to do in finance is a rigorous, serious, and strict attitude.”
Liu Yu solemnly said: "The boss may not understand the actual situation of Xianyi's work. My personal evaluation is that he never shows his identity to anyone. He communicates very well with colleagues and bosses, has a good working attitude, and is professional in business. Of course, I also know a little about the life after get off work, it is nothing more than the life that young people like, and there is no big problem."
Wu Guangyao was taken aback, Liu Yu did not dare to deceive himself, and there was no need for him to deceive himself!
"That's good! These performances are normal people's performances, there is nothing to praise!"
Of course, I would not praise my son in front of others, and besides, there is nothing to praise.
Wu Guangyao took out a stack of materials, handed it to Liu Yu, and said: "Our company’s first fund is going to sell to these people on the list; they are all government officials and members of the two councils. You should know how to operate it. There are counts!"
Since the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Hong Kong Island has implemented high salaries to nourish integrity, and Hong Kong’s integrity has been at the forefront of the world;
However, the Chinese are talking about human affection and sophistication;
Even if Wu Guangyao is so powerful on Hong Kong Island, some departments of the Hong Kong government still need to befriend Wu Guangyao;
So, Wu Guangyao thought of this trick!
Wu Guangyao is on Hong Kong Island and has always been known as the "stock god", so the first fund of Everbright Securities must be very popular;
Be dedicated to managing finances for these councillors and civil servants!
Liu Yu naturally knew the purpose of the boss, so he said: "Well, I will hold some receptions in batches in the near future. I will take Xianyi with me to promote these people."
There are too many people on the list, and they all gather together, which is easy to be misunderstood.
Wu Guangyao did not say much, these trivial matters left Liu Yu to worry about;
Getting up, Wu Guangyao said, "Go, take me to inspect various departments and introduce me some new talents!"
Liu Yu got up happily, and said, “Don’t tell me the boss, I really have a talent on the Internet recently, and I have some connections with you!”
Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "The son of that company's management, you have been online!"
Liu Yu said: "Not the management, but a senior seaman on your ship!"
Wu Guangyao suddenly felt a little embarrassed, his face was weird, and said: "We won't be laid off anymore!"
Liu Yu was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's not clear, we pretend we don't know it! But this talent is not bad. He graduated from the University of Chicago. Because of family conditions, I returned to work in Hong Kong! I have performed well recently and I am a good seed!"
Wu Guangyao was also stunned, won't it be Yuan Tianfan!
Although she was surprised in her heart, there was no color on her face.
"Let’s go, and I will be introduced to you later. If you want to talk about Bole, I am a big Bole!"
The two started to visit the company, and each department stayed for a while;
When he came to the newly established fund department, Wu Guangyao was not different, and after a few normal exchanges, he left.
When he came to the creditor's rights department, Wu Guangyao became a little curious. Wasn't Yuan Tianfan supposed to go to HSBC's financial company to make more profits?
How did you get to the creditor's rights department of Everbright Securities?
The so-called creditor's rights department is a financial institution that acts as an agent for the company to go public!
This is a very important company department. From the moment a company decides to go public, it cannot do without such a department;
The procedures for listing, and how to speculate the price before listing, all require a professional team;
This team is simply a master of capital operation!
After chatting with the department head for a while, Liu Yu took Wu Guangyao to Yuan Tianfan as a side;
"Yuan Tianfan, this is our boss Mr. Wu Guangyao!" Liu Yu introduced.
It can be seen that Yuan Tianfan is still very young at this time, and he is very nervous to see Wu Guangyao.
"Hi boss!"
"Good guy, very energetic! I heard that your doctor will return to work in Hong Kong after only one year!"
"Well, the conditions at home are not very good, the tuition fee for the Ph.D. is too expensive!"
Good fellow, since it is said that the family conditions are not very good, Wu Guangyao has to ask questions!
"As far as I know, the old seamen of our Global Group are at least three times the average salary of Hong Kong."
Yuan Tianfan said quickly: "Yes, my father has a high salary; but there are many younger brothers and sisters in the family, and the cost of living in the United States is high, so I took the initiative to propose not to study a Ph.D. so as to share the worries for the family!"
Wu Guangyao nodded and said, "Well, work hard, society is the best university!"
is a pun, which is not only to encourage, but also to persuade Yuan Tianfan not to worry about studying for a Ph.D.
"Thank you boss for encouraging, I will cheer!"
After left, Wu Guangyao said to Liu Yu next to him: "The performance is remarkable, and it will be included in the key training!"
Focus on training, at least the training of middle-level leaders.
Liu Yu was also very happy, happy for his own Bole, and said: "Yes, boss!"
In fact, in all companies under Wu Guangyao, undergraduates are already normal, and there are many doctoral students.
And Yuan Tianfan, a talent who has only read a PhD for one year, is naturally not the top;
But since Wu Guangyao has named his name, it is the imperial edict!
The MTR Corporation’s tender for the site of the old General Post Office attracted more than 30 consortia, more than double the tender for the Kowloon section;
According to press releases, the more than 30 consortia are: Cheung Kong Holdings, Land Corporation, Swire Properties, Golden Gate Construction (Jihe Group), Fok Yingdong Group, Hang Lung Properties, Yellow River Industries, Sun Hung Kai, Hopewell Properties, Japan-Australia Consortium, etc.
Of course, the public opinion is generally optimistic about Cheung Kong Industrial. Cheung Kong Industrial’s advantages are obvious, and the bid to win the bid is the highest;
One day, Wu Guangyao was stopped by a ghost reporter from the South China Morning Post. In order to interview Wu Guangyao, the ghost reporter also worked hard. In front of several sturdy bodyguards, he pleaded with Wu Guangyao;
Seeing the refusal may not be good, Wu Guangyao agreed to the request.
He is the leader of the media industry. If he does not support reporters, his own reporters will definitely blame themselves in the future;
So, Wu Guangyao signaled the bodyguard to rest assured, and agreed with the ghost reporter three questions.
"Mr. Wu, what are the advantages of the tender submitted by Cheung Kong Industrial?"
The first question was obviously wasted by this reporter. Wu Guangyao said: "Sincere is our advantage!"
It is impossible to tell a reporter about the content of the tender. Although everyone has submitted their tenders at this time, it is impossible to tell the reporter;
Even after winning the bid, this is something that cannot be disclosed at will!
After knowing that he wasted a question, the Guilao reporter asked again: "Then do you think Cheung Kong will definitely win the bid?"
Wu Guangyao once again refused to answer this question head-on, but said in a confident tone: "The result of the bid is the best answer!"
Although Wu Guangyao did not answer positively, but combined with Wu Guangyao’s tone, it is clear that he is full of confidence and Cheung Kong will definitely win the bid!
Wu Guangyao is not interested in immediate interests, but the value of the two buildings decades later;
Who can have their own vision, who is willing to give so much profit to the subway company?
Ghost reporter saw that although Wu Guangyao did not answer positively, but his tone was full of confidence, he immediately felt that this was a good news material!
Gui Lao reporter then asked: "Then who do you think your biggest opponent is, can you list three for me?"
Gui Lao is obviously smarter. Knowing the previous sentence, Wu Guangyao will definitely say that everyone is his opponent;
So, Guilao reporter decided to add the following sentence!
Wu Guangyao couldn't help but admire the cleverness of the ghost, and generously listed three: "Land, Huanghe Industrial, Sun Hung Kai!"
After speaking, Wu Guangyao turned and walked into the building!
Wu Guangyao’s interview was published by the South China Morning Post the next day, which aroused heated discussions.
The Chinese leaders on Hong Kong Island have profound meaning in every move, and they are also the object of discussion by the citizens of Hong Kong Island.
'Confident smile, confident answer' is the key!
‘What the **** is Huanghe Industry? Rural real estate companies are also worthy of being called rivals. Didn't Mr. Wu just use a person as a foil? ’
These topics are widely discussed in the civic circle.
But when Li Chaoren saw the news from the South China Morning Post, he didn't feel like he was coming!
At this time, it is definitely not a good thing to be valued by big guys;
The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, and even my eyelids began to jump wildly.
Li Chaoren wanted to re-study the bidding documents, but found that it was too late. Just yesterday, the bidding documents were handed in and the submission deadline was closed.
"Impossible! Impossible! The Yangtze River industrialist has a big business, how can he carefully study the intention of the subway company, how can my sincerity be high!" Li Chaoren muttered to himself.
If we say that this open bidding is a ‘fame battle’ for Cheung Kong;
So, for Huanghe Industry, it is a ‘sublimation battle’ of the company as a whole;
Chinese real estate company, who doesn’t want to squeeze into this place in Central;
Only by squeezing into Central, can it truly be regarded as a powerful real estate company;
What brings is profit, and more of a reputation;
With this reputation, more people will cooperate with the company!
Holding anxious mood, Li Chaoren anxiously waited for the bid opening in the afternoon.
At three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Tang Xin, chairman of the board of directors of the Metro Corporation, announced in front of the media and real estate companies: Cheung Kong Holdings won the bid! Later, it will sign a cooperation agreement with Cheung Kong Industrial for the Central Station (2270 square feet of the old General Post Office site); the property on the Admiralty Station will be negotiated and signed in the future.
All for a while, applause was applauded in the conference room!
Even Land New Bijian and Huanghe Industrial Li Chaoren reluctantly followed suit and expressed celebration to Li Xing, president of Yangtze River Industrial.
Next, the reporter interviews;
"Please be Chairman Tang Xin, what are the advantages of Cheung Kong Holdings?" A reporter couldn't wait to ask everyone's questions.
Li Ka-shing was not reconciled to look at Tang Xin, he really didn’t understand where he was losing!
And Li Xing looked at everyone confidently, with a smile on his mouth.
Tang Xin saw that everyone looked at him one after another, some were dissatisfied, and there were expectations, so he decided to briefly mention two sentences:
"Because no specific cooperation has been signed yet, it is not convenient for me to disclose too much. I will probably say three points:
First, in terms of share, Cheung Kong has made big concessions;
Secondly, in terms of capital, Cheung Kong Holdings guarantees that the subway company will have a certain percentage of profits;
Thirdly, since the signing of the contract, a large amount of cash can be paid to the subway company to alleviate the current predicament of the subway company. "
Because Wu Guangyao can predict the real estate situation in 1978, he directly guaranteed the profits of that period to the subway company;
and stated in the tender document that the profit is less than this amount, and the Yangtze River Industrial replenishes the subway company.
It is conceivable that there is no reason to be distracted by the subway companies whose future real estate trends are not clear!
Li Chaoren finally couldn’t help but asked loudly: “Chairman Tang, the content of my bid is almost the same. May I ask the reason for the failure of Huanghe Industry?”
For a time, everyone turned their eyes to Li Chaoren;
According to the truth, Li Chaoren asked at this time, which did not conform to the rules;
But everyone is in the mood to watch the excitement, and look forward to the subway company to give an explanation!
Tang Xin saw this, and knew that if he didn’t reveal a little more, maybe the news tomorrow would definitely say that the subway company had succumbed to the influence of the Wu family.
Can't convince the crowd!
This will have a very bad impact on the subsequent bidding. After all, the subway company has 15 stations in the first phase, and there are several bidding sections.
"Mr. Li, it is the share ratio and the guaranteed amount of profit; Cheung Kong has made a few percentage points of concession than you in terms of the share; in terms of the guaranteed amount of profit, it is about 15% bolder than you. If there is no Cheung Kong bidding, The winner is Huanghe Industry, but today you did not lose unjustly at all!"
Li Superman felt his brain exploded!
how come?
Changjiang Industrial only needs 45% profit?
Changjiang Industry Co., Ltd. dare to promise the MTR Corporation's profits of more than 120 million Hong Kong dollars?
Many heads of real estate companies, and many media professionals, also burst into flames;
According to the normal share, it is 50% to 50%. The boss of Huanghe Industry, Li Chaoren, has an advantage over others, that is, about 51% to 49%;
Then Yangtze River Industrial has an advantage over Yellow River Industrial. Doesn’t it mean that the share of Yangtze River Industrial is 53% to 47%?
Changjiang Industrial is crazy!
Everyone has this idea!
yelled for two years and found that the profit was only tens of millions;
Is it better to do other projects?
However, some people speculate that Cheung Kong may treat the core area of Central as its nest business and do not want anyone to participate.
The next day, Cheung Kong Industrial and Metro Corporation began to sign a formal contract.
The land of the former General Post Office totaled 2,270 square feet, and was valued at 240 million Hong Kong dollars. There was no bargaining on this point;
A 39-storey Grade A office building can be built on this land, and the construction cost is expected to be around 200 million Hong Kong dollars;
Li Xing said: “Chairman Tang Xin, Cheung Kong Holdings is willing to put out 50 million Hong Kong dollars as a non-recurring profit of ‘revaluation of assets’ to the MTR Corporation!”
Atmosphere!
The management of the subway company is all this idea!
Does the Cheung Kong Industrial Group already care about ten or twenty million?
Tang Xin said: "Thanks to the sincerity of Cheung Kong Industrial for cooperation!"
Afterwards, the two parties discussed some details in accordance with the tender documents, and Cheung Kong Holdings showed great sincerity.
But when discussing about the sale, Li Xing finally gave his opinion: "Everyone, that's the case, our boss wants to buy this building in a package! Of course, the price is for the market price. This is affirmative. What do you think?"
The subway company discussed with each other, and Tang Xin said: "We plan to sell by tier!"
Li Xing said with a smile: "No problem, how the subway company wants to sell, and whenever it wants to do it! But we want to sell it to Cheung Kong Real Estate at the market price!"
At this time, everyone finally has no worries!
Tang Xin said: "Naturally! This way of selling, we can also reduce promotional expenses and save a lot of money!"
The two sides finally reached an agreement, there is basically no contradiction!
And Wu Guangyao is not afraid that the subway company will cover the building in his hands, because the subway company is not only short of money, but also does not know whether house prices will rise or fall.
