Chapter 567 Successfully bid for the new pier
After the 1970s, the real estate market in Hong Kong has gradually increased, and even at the level of society, real estate tycoon will gradually replace various industrial kings and become the top giants of Hong Kong in the future;
After the 1990s, the four major families and the top 20 listed companies in Hong Kong were basically the main business of real estate, or very early monopoly infrastructure business, etc. As for the former industry kings, almost all of them disappeared. Only a few were very small. Go to the Mainland to develop business, but the development of the company's scale is far from real estate giants;
Although the core business of Changxing Group is still the industry, in accordance with the times, it is also what everyone should do. It is impossible to abandon the real estate market in Hong Kong today. It is speculative and one is long -term investment.
Changxing Real Estate has been developing for more than ten years and successfully obtained a large amount of land by taking advantage of the opportunity in 1967. It has become one of the largest real estate companies in Hong Kong. In terms of land reserves, it is basically the second in Hong Kong, second only to the big boss in Central. Real estate.
When the real estate business develops to a certain level, it will also need to gradually involve some long-term infrastructure, such as Lee Shau Kee's acquisition of China Gas in the previous life, Li Ka-shing's acquisition of Hong Kong Electric, etc. In today's era when British capital is still protected, Changxing Real Estate's goals are Naturally, it is a port where market reforms are taking place.
At the end of March, the formal bidding for Container Terminals 2-5 at Kwai Chung Port began.
The address of the auction is at the big hotel of the Jiadao family. At 8 o'clock in the morning, many reporters come here. Due to the rules of the hotel, they can only block the door;
The auction of the four container terminals is of great significance to Hong Kong's industry, real estate industry and even the financial industry. It can definitely be regarded as the top hot news.
Many luxury cars have come to the hotel one after another, but whether it is the hotel security guard or the customer security of the client, many reporters have asked the question across the air, but they only occasionally responded. Essence
"Mercedes-Benz, that belongs to Yang Wendong." A reporter shouted loudly, attracting the attention of other reporters.
Many giants in Hong Kong like to use top luxury cars such as Rolls -Royce and Maybach, but Yang Wendong is an exception. He takes Mercedes -Benz (Pingzhi);
However, it is said that they also found a top-grade bulletproof car specially customized by Mercedes-Benz. The value is no less than that of Rolls-Royce, etc., and it is safer. Seven or eight identical Mercedes-Benz cars drove over, and no one knew which car Yang Wendong was in. superior.
Many reporters came to interview, but dozens of security guards and even police officers at the hotel pushed the reporters to both sides.
Many security guards in the motorcade got out of the car. After making sure it was safe, they opened the door to let Yang Wendong and his wife get out of the car.
Su Yiyi said: "There are so many reporters here today."
Yang Wendong smiled and said: "Normally, with four terminals and a total investment of more than one billion, this can create tens of thousands of jobs. In the future, it will also allow countless factories in Hong Kong to reduce transportation costs, which will bring even greater economic benefits;
It can be said that since the opening of Fu Fu in Hong Kong, there has been no large-scale infrastructure construction comparable to the four container terminals. Once completed, Hong Kong's economy will undergo qualitative changes. ”
In the past life of the mainland, a top port could affect tens of millions of people around it because the port would bring about a terrible cluster effect. Countless factories would be built nearby, driving the industrial chain and surrounding economies.
The total population of Hong Kong is only 4 million, so the average economic benefits brought by the terminal are even greater. Even ten years after the mainland was opened to the outside world, and before Yantian Port was built, many commodities from eastern Guangdong Province were shipped from Hong Kong. This It has also brought great benefits to Hong Kong’s economy.
Su Yiyi nodded: "Yes, the container is popular, and my clothing exports are very convenient."
"Yes, any exit will become more convenient." Yang Wendong also said.
Before the emergence of container terminals, there were textile industries in Europe and the United States. This was because the shipping loss of clothing was too great. Although clothes were relatively light, they were easily damaged in the messy old cargo ships and were easily corroded by the salt gas of seawater. Until the emergence of containers, It got better, which is why Berkshire is in crisis;
It can be said that the emergence of containers has changed the global economic structure, and even the collapse of polar bears 20 years later has a lot to do with this invention.
"Yang Sheng and Mrs. Yang, please." A representative of the Hong Kong government hurried to the Yang Wendong couple and said.
"Okay." Yang Wendong nodded.
The two followed the leader and came to the 16th floor of the hotel. There is a medium -sized conference room, which is usually used to participate in the Hong Kong government auction.
"Bao Sheng." Yang Wendong quickly saw an acquaintance.
After seeing Yang Wendong, Bao Yugang laughed: "Yang Sheng, I haven't seen you for a few months, your international business is getting bigger and bigger."
"International business? What Bao Sheng said is the movie theater in Japan?" Yang Wendong asked.
Changxing Film Company's previous acquisition of Japan's Nikkatsu Cinemas was also hyped by the media in Hong Kong for a while. Many people believed that this was an acquisition made by Changhua people's ambitions. However, some people thought that Changxing Group should invest in Hong Kong rather than invest in Hong Kong. Go overseas
For these media comments, Yang Wendong is basically just a look. There will be no response, otherwise you have to be busy.
Bao Yugang nodded and said: "Yes, the acquisition of Japan's fifth largest theater chain shocked me."
Yang Wendong smiled and said: "It is said to be the fifth largest, but in fact it has suffered serious losses for a long time. The gap with the first four is also relatively large. Otherwise, I think an acquisition is unlikely."
"Haha, yes, this is also very powerful." Bao Yugang also said, "And your company's movie, Li Xiaolong, I have seen it, very good, haha, I am very interested in martial arts."
Yang Wendong smiled and said: "If Mr. Bao is interested, I can ask Li Xiaolong to visit you."
Li Xiaolong's reputation is now in Asia, but it is still a star. It is a little bit watched to the Chinese capital tycoon. Even if it reaches the peak, it is not enough.
"No need, I'm just saying that." Bao Yugang shook his head and said: "Yang Sheng, the bidding will be held later. If the funds exceed my budget, I will ask you to help me appropriately. "With Bao Sheng's financial resources, a dock should be fine, right?" Yang Wendong asked.
Bao Yugang said: "A dock is indeed not a problem, but my funds also need to be used elsewhere, including buying a boat. In this regard, Yang Sheng is also a insidious person. br>
"Okay, I understand. If the British side raises the price too high and Mr. Bao doesn't give up, I will support you." Yang Wendong agreed.
In order to keep British -funded interests, the Hong Kong Government can restrict each consortium that can only participate in one pier. On the bright side, Yang Wendong can only get one pier, and the others get at most 15.9%of the shares;
Rather than being acquired by British capital, it would be better to give it to other Chinese capital. Bao Yugang is the most suitable. First, he has a good character. Second, he has no business conflicts with himself except shipping. The shipping market is too big, and both parties have no business conflicts. Basically there is no competition.
The third is that this is also a loan, and Bao Yugang will have to repay it later. He will not use his own funds. At most, he can just let Hang Seng Bank borrow money. Anyway, as a major shareholder of Hang Seng, he cannot take it directly from Hang Seng. Money, then using him as a treasury is not a bad favor, and it can also bring interest to Hang Seng.
"Haha, thank you very much. After I succeed, I will treat you two to a banquet." Bao Yugang said with a smile.
"You're welcome." Yang Wendong smiled.
The two chatted randomly for a while, and then Bao Yugang left.
Su Yiyi asked: "East Brother, why don't you seek investment in Bao Yukang's company? I think you have not invested in many Chinese companies before?"
"Bao Yugang is indeed very capable, but it's hard to say what the future of his family will be. In addition, Global International may not be ready to go public, so I'd better not participate." Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "I am not familiar with shipping. The same goes for investing money in them and buying and operating ships yourself.”
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
In the original history, the Bao family had no future. Although the company was divided into several, the Wu family's income was not bad, but it also relied on Jiulong Warehouse;
Now I am ready to take action on Wharf. After the 1980s, the shipping market declined, and the Bao family's assets were too unstable. There is not much meaning in investing on my own;
However, now the history has changed too much, and Bao Yugang has also begun to participate in the port. Maybe it will go out of another way. This will be said later.
"Oh." Su Yiyi didn't ask anymore.
The two quickly met Qi Dezun with Huang Huang again, and then scattered after chatting. Yang Wendong said: "Qi Dezun also promised to take a full dock at this side. If they were successful, we would indirectly control the 4 docks. "
In order to avoid their own family, the Hong Kong Government has a restriction policy, but Zhang Liangji's indirect control can be controlled;
Especially with Huang Huang, he also regards him as the future of his own pockets. As long as he controls a dock with Huang, the future belongs to himself.
"That's good, the auction began immediately." Su Yiyi laughed: "The first one is Pier 2."
"Well, I am determined to win this dock." Yang Wendong nodded and said.
The four piers launched by the Hong Kong government are similar in size, but Pier 2 is connected to the existing Pier 1, which is much more meaningful than the other three piers;
Soon, the pier bidding began. The first auction price of Pier 2 was HK$75 million, with each increase in price not less than 5 million.
"80 million." Yang Wendong first gave a card.
"85 million." John Keswick of Jardine also came to the venue in person and held up placards to compete.
"90 million." The same is the same.
"95 million." Yang Wendong's complexion did not change.
Many parties are fighting against each other, and some US and Japanese consortiums have also joined in. This is also a relatively fair auction, and capital from all parties can participate. The Hong Kong government must now face up to global capital freedom, otherwise it will be targeted by the United States and Laos.
Soon the price reached 160 million. This price made many players hesitate. After all, winning the auction is only the first step, and it will still take hundreds of millions to invest in infrastructure;
Although everyone is optimistic about the future of Hong Kong, it is unclear whether the five docks operate together. Whether it can be fully load is unclear. If the early investment in the early stage is too large, it will inevitably lose money.
"170 million." Yang Wendong gave the card again, adding 10 million directly;
Many consortiums are still conservative in the future Hong Kong economy. After all, no one can think that the mainland will be changed in the future, and Hong Kong will become the only east -west bridge for a long time;
Around 85 years in history, the Hong Kong government launched a new container terminal, and the auction price exceeded 4 billion;
Although money is more valuable now, it still doesn't amount to much in the end.
The price increase directly by 10 million, which is still relatively shocking for others. The venue is silent. Few people have Yang Wendong's pride. The cash of 170 million Hong Kong dollars is not a small money even for European and American consortia.
"170 million once, 170 million twice, 170 million three times."
"Deal."
With the hammer landing, the new pier has the owner.
