Life 1984

Chapter 337: Capture the Earth King!

Over the weekend, Li Yunhai took Guo Wanhua and Guo Zhian to the Ocean Park.

Little An'an is only one year old. She has a tiger-like head and a thick head, with fat circles on her arms and legs. She has thick eyebrows and big, shiny eyes.

Li Yunhai said not to feed him too much fat. He was cute when he was young, but when he grows up, he will be a fat man and it will take up air to walk.

Guo Wanhua said that I didn’t feed him anything in particular, maybe because the wet nurse’s milk was too nourishing.

Children are too young to play in many projects, so they can just join in the fun.

Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua didn't have much fun. They came out after playing a few projects and felt that they had spent a lot of money on the tickets.

Guo Wanhua said it would be better to take her children to see animals. He especially likes animals now.

Li Yunhai said he would go to the zoo tomorrow.

Guo Wanhua said why did the global stock market fall so much all at once?I don’t know how far it will fall?
Li Yunhai thought to himself that the Hang Seng Index would have to drop to more than 1000 points before it could stop this sharp decline.

But he didn't say it.

Fortunately, Guo Wanhua listened to him and had cleared all the stocks in his hands when he was at a high position, otherwise he would definitely lose money this time.

When the stock market opened on Monday, the Hang Seng Index fell more than 15 points within 650 minutes after the market opened. It fell 1120.7 points for the whole day, a drop of 33.33%, which was the world's largest single-day decline in history.

The futures index fell by 1554 points. At 50 yuan per point, each futures index lost 77700 yuan, resulting in many holders of long futures index positions being unable to fulfill their contracts.

After the stock market crash in October, the Hang Seng Index fell to 1876.18 points, a drop of more than 52%!

Many wealthy people and financial institutions went bankrupt, including some mainland investors.The wealth in the hands of a once-famous billionaire is even lower than that of an average family.

However, Li Yunhai took advantage of this opportunity and used the funds in his foreign exchange account to purchase stocks of many companies in the United States and Hong Kong.

On this day, Li Yunhai came out of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and saw someone selling clothes at a stall next to him. He shouted: "Two pieces for ten yuan! Big sale for two pieces for ten yuan!"

Li Yunhai took a closer look and recognized him. He stepped forward and shouted: "Liu Heping!"

This person is Liu Heping, Shen Xiulan's junior high school classmate, whom he met in Huacheng before.

"It's you!" Liu Heping was startled, put down the clothes in his hands, took out a cigarette and handed one to Li Yunhai, and asked, "Why did you come to Xiangjiang?"

Li Yunhai said: "I'm here to do something. Why are you selling clothes here? Don't you run an electric fan factory in Huacheng?"

Liu Heping smiled bitterly, with a lonely look on his face, and said, "I lost money in the stock market! I lost everything."

Li Yunhai asked him: "What's going on?"

In the past few years, when Hong Kong stocks were rising, Liu Heping heard the encouragement from his friends that it was better to go to Hong Kong to trade stocks than to open a factory in the mainland, so he tried to buy stocks in Hong Kong. As a result, he bought a few stocks at random and earned more than 10,000!Isn’t this much better than working hard to build a factory and sell electric fans?
Dazzled by the victory, he raised funds to enter the Hong Kong stock market.The Hong Kong stock market has gone up like crazy in the past two years. Although he knew that the stock market was risky, he still couldn't help but get involved. As a result, the stock market became bigger and bigger, and he made up to 100 million a day!

Liu Heping did not give up when things were good, but continued to invest all his funds!

After the stock market crash, he lost all his money.

"It's gone! It's all gone! I mortgaged the factory to the bank and took out the loan to trade in stocks. I wanted to go back after earning 1000 million, but I lost everything and the factory was confiscated by the bank. All the houses and cars I bought in the mainland were all gone. I gave it to the bank to pay off the debt. I also borrowed some personal money and I have to pay it back! I had no choice but to buy some second-hand clothes from Japan and sell them."

Li Yunhai couldn't help but sigh after hearing his story.

I'm afraid there are many mainland investors like him.

Over the years, there have been many people in the Mainland who have made money by working as businessmen and running factories. They all know that the Hong Kong stock market is very profitable, and they will definitely not miss this opportunity.

The entry of mainland investors has boosted the stock market.As a result, the higher I lifted it, the harder I fell this time.

Li Yunhai asked him what other stocks he had in hand?
Liu Heping said helplessly: "Where are the stocks left? All the stocks I bought have fallen to the bottom. I used to buy them for dozens of yuan per share, but they have dropped to a few cents! I sold them all, and I lost money so much that I didn't even have to wear my pants. ”

Li Yunhai thought to himself, this is the mentality of a gambler. In fact, as long as you buy high-quality stocks, you will still have a chance to make a comeback after surviving the stock market crash.

But gamblers are like that. When the stock market falls, they will follow suit and sell, lest it fall even more severely later, and naturally they will lose everything.

Liu Heping did not know Li Yunhai's true identity. He only knew that he was Shen Xiulan's friend and his boss.He asked Li Yunhai if he also bought stocks?

Li Yunhai said yes, I just came out of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and bought a lot of stocks.

Once Liu Heping was bitten by a snake, he had been afraid of ropes for ten years and said: "You still dare to buy stocks? The stock market has fallen to the bottom! You should sell it quickly!"

Li Yunhai smiled slightly and said: "It's okay. I'm buying it now because I'm buying the bottom. I believe that Xiangjiang's stock market will rise soon. If you still have money, you can buy some stocks of Cheung Kong Industrial and Xiangjiang Sihai Group. , I believe it will definitely rise. Within a few months, you can make back the money you lost."

Liu Heping just shook his head: "I swore that I would never touch stocks again in my life! If I trade in stocks again, I will buy it!"

Li Yunhai sighed softly and said: "Okay! It's okay not to touch it! The water here is too deep and cannot be grasped by ordinary people. I have something else to do. Goodbye!"

Liu Heping continued to sell his second-hand clothes: "Two pieces for ten yuan! Big sale!"

During this stock market crash, Li Yunhai found a big mistake and acquired about 35% of the shares of several large consortiums such as Xiangjiang Electric Power, Towngas, and Kadoorie Hotel!
In addition, he also bought a lot of stocks in the United States.

These groups are all favored by Li Yunhai.

Stocks that used to cost a few dollars a share are now only a few cents!

It's just a big mistake.

Even if he doesn't sell it and only enjoys the dividends brought by the equity, Li Yunhai will still make enough money.

The U.S. stock market relied heavily on computers at that time.When the Dow Jones fell, computers with special programs kept selling off, and any attempt to stabilize them failed!
The stock price has been falling freely without any buyers, except Li Yunhai who bought it at the bottom.

Everyone is selling, selling stocks and exchanging them for valuable physical objects.

At the same time, Li Yunhai acquired many properties such as the Causeway Bay area, Wan Chai Computer City, The Peak, and the tallest shopping mall in Hong Kong, The One, and became the well-deserved king of shops in Causeway Bay.

As long as someone sells the shares of Xiangjiang Sihai Group, he will take them.

So the company's stock price didn't drop much.

Li Yunhai certainly has confidence in his company.

If these stocks are recovered, they will definitely have the opportunity to rise in the future!
Sure enough, with Li Yunhai's aggressive acquisition of properties in Causeway Bay, Xiangjiang Sihai Group became the first stock to rebound against the market trend.

The stock price has risen from the lowest of 25.6 yuan to 35.8 yuan!
The Hong Kong government invested more than HK$20 billion in bailing out the market.

In order to boost market confidence, recover funds and make up for losses in the stock market, the Hong Kong government finally put the piece of land in Causeway Bay up for auction.

After Li Yunhai heard the news, he thought that the opportunity had finally come.

This piece of land is the well-deserved king of land in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong!

No matter who takes it, even if they just build a building and rent it out, they will continue to make money in the future.

Guo Wanhua knew that he wanted to take over this piece of land and asked, "How much do you plan to pay for it?"

Li Yunhai asked: "How much is this piece of land worth?"

Guo Wanhua said: "I asked many people, and they all said that this piece of land is worth at most 8 million Hong Kong dollars."

Li Yunhai said: "Then let's go and have a look first!"

On this day, the weather in Xiangjiang was sunny.

The Hong Kong government held its first land auction after the stock market recovered.The land to be auctioned this time is about 3 square meters of land near Causeway Bay. The reserve price given by the Hong Kong government is HK$3 million, and each bid is HK$1000 million.

The most important local real estate developers in Xiangjiang all participated in the auction.

It can be said that almost all the richest tycoons in Hong Kong at that time came to the auction site.

Each of these people is a tycoon with a net worth of more than [-] billion. At the auction, the bidders are as generous as gamblers. They often have a spirit of unwillingness and unwillingness to admit defeat, trying to overwhelm the other party with financial resources.

At the beginning of the auction, Li Jiacheng and another real estate developer bid separately. The price rose from 3 million yuan to 3 million yuan, which heightened the atmosphere at the scene.

At this time, a bidding call came from a corner of the auction, 3 million. The bidding this time was Hu Yinxiang, the chairman of Hopewell Company.

Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua sat quietly on one side of the auction site, watching the fight between dragons and tigers.

Guo Wanhua whispered: "Hu Yinxiang is the boss of Hopewell Building. Li Jiacheng got his guidance when he first debuted. These two people have collaborated many times."

Li Yunhai said oh, he didn't know much about these rich people in Xiangjiang.

The atmosphere at the scene was tense. Real estate tycoons such as Zheng Yutong and Li Zhaoji were also bidding, and the price was slowly raised to 5 million.

As the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields. Although Li Jiacheng and Hu Yinxiang are good friends in private, they will go all out to fight for their own interests in the mall.

Li Yunhai suddenly had a thought in his mind: "Sister Guo, tell me, will the Li and Hu families join forces for this land auction?" Guo Wanhua said: "The two families will join forces? What's the point?"

Li Yunhai said: "You can raise each other's prices to make other bidders think that these two big guys are bound to win, so they are too scared to raise their placards."

Guo Wanhua said: "Then I don't know. What you said is also possible."

At this time, Li Jiacheng raised his sign again and directly reported the high price: "7 million!"

From 5 million, it jumped directly to 7 million!
It is close to the actual value of this land.

The scene became very quiet instantly. The price could be said to be very high, and many bidders seemed to be calculating the price underneath.

Hu Yinxiang then shouted a higher price: "8 million!"

As expected of a billionaire, the price increase at the auction is always in units of hundreds of millions!
Guo Wanhua whispered: "Yunhai, their quotation has reached 8 million! This is already the lowest price for this land, do we still need to fight?"

The other bidders have given up. Even if they have money, they will not spend it so randomly.

Although the land in Xiangjiang is valuable, it does not mean that this is the only land.

As long as you have money, you can definitely acquire other better properties.

A person's ability to become a billionaire is definitely not due to luck.

It can be said that these are business elites here. They may go all out, but they will not be stupid with money, let alone spend hundreds of millions impulsively for fun.

After Li Yunhai entered the venue, he did not raise his placard once.

Now comes the critical moment!

Guo Wanhua asked: "Yunhai, should we give up? It doesn't make much sense to continue competing. I heard that there is still a piece of land in Kowloon, which will also be put up for auction. Let's give up the land here and auction the land in Kowloon. ?”

Li Yunhai took a deep breath and said to her: "Hold up your sign and quote 9 million! Hurry!"

Guo Wanhua groaned: "9 million? This is already [-] million more than the value of the land! Are you sure?"

Li Yunhai said in a deep voice: "Listen to me, you won't be wrong! Raise your sign and quote 9 million!"

Guo Wanhua gracefully raised the number plate in her hand: "9 million!"

When she shouted out the high price of 9 million yuan, everyone at the scene was shocked!

This price is undoubtedly a sky-high price!

Li Jiacheng, Hu Yinxiang, Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji and other real estate giants all turned their heads and looked in Guo Wanhua's direction.

Guo Wanhua is now the representative of Xiangjiang Sihai Group, which many people in Xiangjiang know.

But Li Jiacheng and others rarely pay attention to these news because of their age. He asked around, who is this woman?Which company is it from?
His men replied to him one by one.

Li Jiacheng couldn't help but fell silent when he heard that it was someone from the Xiangjiang Sihai Group who held up the quotation.

The high price of 9 million has obviously exceeded the value of the land.

The further you raise it, the more you will lose.

Li Jiacheng also has another concern: Did Guo Wanhua deliberately raise land prices?After someone else quoted a higher price, she gave up?The land can then be auctioned off at a higher price.

The other bidders at the scene all had the same idea as him.

For a moment, there was a commotion at the scene, and everyone was talking about it.

After Guo Wanhua raised her placard, she sat quietly, raising her elegant swan neck and looking at the auction table intently.

The auctioneer started shouting: "9 million Hong Kong dollars, the first time! Is there any increase in the price?"

No one raised a sign at the scene.

With this price increase method, no matter who increases it, it must be at least [-] million, otherwise it will be meaningless.

This is equivalent to saying that if the price is raised further, the land price will be 10 billion!
No one will spend 10 billion to buy this piece of land.

The real estate tycoons have carefully calculated the development value of this land and feel that the land price of 8 million is the limit they can accept.

Now someone has offered 9 million, which has exceeded the actual value of the land.

The auctioneer's voice became louder: "9 million Hong Kong dollars, the second time! Is there any increase in the price?"

The scene suddenly fell silent.

That discussion has been discussed.

Whether to raise the sign or not, it’s just a matter of seconds.

The auctioneer slowly scanned the audience, and then announced loudly with a firm and loud voice: "9 million Hong Kong dollars, the third time! Congratulations to Xiangjiang Sihai Group for winning this auction!"

The audience burst into warm applause.

Li Jiacheng stood up slowly and waved to Guo Wanhua, paying tribute to the winner.

Guo Wanhua returned the smile, then took a long breath, let go of the number plate in her hand, and said to Li Yunhai: "My palms are all sweaty! It was my first time to participate in an auction, and I only shouted once. 9 million out! It’s so scary!”

Li Yunhai laughed and said: "There will be auctions like this in the future! You just need to practice more."

Guo Wanhua smiled and said, "What else? Next time, let Lin Zhi do it! My heart is beating too fast and I can't bear such a violent impact!"

The two got up and were about to go to the front to go through the relevant procedures when they saw Li Jiacheng walking over.

Li Jiacheng pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and looked at Li Yunhai: "Is this Mr. Li Yunhai, the boss of Sihai Group? Nice to meet you! I am the chairman of Cheung Kong Holdings, and my name is Li Jiacheng."

Li Yunhai shook hands with him and said, "Hello, Mr. Li, nice to meet you."

Li Jiacheng asked: "How do you plan to develop this land after you take it?"

Li Yunhai said: "I want to use it to build an office building and rent it out!"

Li Jiacheng said: "That's a good idea, Mr. Li, are you interested in cooperating with me to develop this site? For example, you originally planned to build a 32-story building, but with my joining, we can build it to a 68-story building! Even It’s a hundred floors.”

Li Yunhai pondered slightly.

Over the past few days, he has been buying stocks and buying this piece of land, spending all his savings over the past year!
Buying this piece of land for 9 million is already his last possession!

As for subsequent development, he has to wait until he makes money later.

Maybe it would be a good idea to cooperate with Li Jiacheng?

However, Li Yunhai didn't know much about Li Jiacheng. He only knew that this person was very powerful and could often predict the international and domestic financial situation in advance and make the most correct choices.

In a word, this person is not something Li Yunhai can live with.

Can Li Yunhai benefit from the cooperation between the two parties?

Guo Wanhua saw Li Yunhai's difficulty and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, of course we are willing to cooperate with you, but we have just acquired this land and have not yet made a final decision on how to develop it. Otherwise, wait for us After internal discussions within the company, we will contact Mr. Li. If Mr. Li is still interested in cooperating with us, then we will discuss the specific details. What do you think?"

This was said with perfect accuracy and did not offend the real estate tycoon.

Li Jiacheng nodded slowly and said: "Mr. Li Yunhai, you are very visionary! You are also very courageous. You can spend 9 million to acquire this land! I am very optimistic about the development of this area. I sincerely hope that our two families can cooperate A win-win situation. I will wait for your good news!”

Li Yunhai smiled and said hello.

At this time, a very stiff shout came from behind: "Mr. Li Yunhai, please stay."

Li Yunhai turned around and saw an Englishman.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" Li Yunhai didn't know this person.

Guo Wanhua was beside him and said softly: "Yunhai, this person is the manager of the Kadoorie Hotel Group."

Li Yunhai said oh, he acquired 35% of the shares of Kadoorie Hotel and became the de facto second largest shareholder. The other party came to visit, probably for negotiation!

Sure enough, the British man came over and said in a very arrogant tone: "Mr. Li Yunhai, I heard that you acquired 35% of our company's shares?"

Li Yunhai replied calmly: "I think so! I bought too many stocks, and they were all in a mess. They were from all kinds of companies. Maybe some of them belong to your company? I have to go back and check to be sure! "

The British man was stunned on the spot.
