But he said.

After learning that Li Jiacheng might still have 5 to 8% of Wharf's equity, Taipan Niubijian of Jardine Matheson and Land Group immediately approached Shen Bi, the Taipan of HSBC Bank.

After all, since he knew that Li Jiacheng was not interested in drinking, but in Hutchison Whampoa, Niubijian could naturally "adapt measures to local conditions" and intercede with HSBC.

"Master Shen Bi, we are both British-owned foreign companies. Under the current situation in Hong Kong, it is even more important for us to work together, don't you think?" Niubijian spoke out from the beginning.

Although Shen Bi valued interests more, he would not blatantly tear up his "British identity", so he said kindly: "As for the 'Wharf dispute' between Land and Universal Group, we at HSBC have no intention of getting involved. Although Newbigan Taipan rest assured."

In fact, HSBC was famous for being 'capricious', and within two years, it 'sold out' Jardine Matheson without any hesitation. Of course, the situation was different at that time. The situation in the mainland had become clear. HSBC needed to make friends with Chinese-funded bosses to ensure the interests of Hong Kong and the opportunity to enter the mainland. At the same time, with the assets of Universal Group at that time, a loan of 20 billion was indeed Not a problem. Of course, this is something for later, so I won’t mention it for now.

Niubijian immediately said: "Taipan Shen Bi, I came to you this time because I hope you can intercede with the Chinese tycoon Li Jiacheng - to persuade him not to sell the remaining shares of Wharf to Mr. Bao Yugang."

Shen Bi was stunned and said, "How do you know that Li Jiacheng still has the equity in Wharf?"

Niubijian said: "In this regard, we also got the news by chance that he still had 5 to 8% of the equity in his hands. At the same time, we also knew that the reason why Li Jiacheng traded with Bao Yugang was to get HSBC Hutchison Whampoa shares in the hands of banks.”

Shen Bi was surprised because Li Jiacheng had not expressed his intentions yet, but the two families were already cooperating to "rebuild the Chinese Bank Building." He suddenly sighed to himself, Li Jiacheng knew how to play both sides, no wonder he always looked after the interests of HSBC during cooperation.

"Even if this is the case, we at HSBC are afraid that we cannot prevent others from selling their Wharf stocks. After all, they are hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars."

If you don't sell, you are waiting to occupy the funds. Obviously this is very difficult.

Although Li Jiacheng has a place to turn to HSBC, HSBC doesn't want to get to know potential Chinese tycoons for future interests.

Newbijian immediately said: "It's just not sold to Bao Yugang, but he can cash out from the market."

Selling to Land is certainly better.

But obviously, that is impossible.

He also understood that Bao Yugang had a close relationship with HSBC, so he just hoped that HSBC would not help each other.

After thinking for a while, Shen Bi said: "Newbigan, we at HSBC cannot help with the Wharf matter. After all, we are in business. I hope you can understand our difficulties at HSBC. But as for Li Jiacheng, I I can make another trip for you, whether he agrees or not is not something we can control."

Newbijian was overjoyed and said: "This is natural!"

If not for everyone being British-owned, HSBC would definitely be a partner to help us - Global Group.

Newbijian was fortunate that they learned this important news in advance - Li Jiacheng still had a large amount of Wharf stocks in his hands.

Fung King Hei used to be one of the 'Sun Hung Kai Big Three', but they split up after Sun Hung Kai went public in 1972. In fact, as early as 1969, Feng Jingxi devoted himself entirely to securities investment.

However, in the 1973 stock market crash, it was said that Feng Jingxi lost as much as HK$4 million. Of course, this was a paper loss. Perhaps a year ago, this part of the stock was worth less than HK$1 million.

Feng Jingxi, who was severely weakened, was not discouraged and continued to conquer cities and territories after the oil crisis. In 1975, Huachang Jianye was first acquired through a share exchange, and then quickly listed on the exchange through introduction, avoiding the cumbersome listing approval procedures.

Sun Hung Kai Securities has only been listed for a few months, and it has acquired Zhongtong Enterprises through a share exchange. Through this series of acquisitions, listings, and further acquisitions, Sun Hung Kai Securities' strength has rapidly grown.

Now Feng Jingxi hopes to acquire the Railway Bank Building to serve as a headquarters building for Sun Hung Kai Securities. Although the Railway Building only has a floor area of ​​10 square feet (20 floors high), it is at least located in the financial district of Des Voeux Road Central (the same financial district as Queen's Road Central).

"What, you have sold the Tiexing Building?" Feng Jingxi said in surprise.

Bao Fuda nodded and said, "Mr. Feng, I'm sorry you're late!"

"Who is the buyer?"

"Taian Development"

"Taian development?"

"Yes, a young man named Lin Zhengjie is the leader, and his partners include members of the Feng family and the Li family." Bao Fuda proudly told the story for two reasons:
First of all, the information told by Lin Zhengjie is really useful; secondly, he wants to retaliate against Feng Jingxi's previous offer from Sosou.

Feng Jingxi left Xinlishan Building disappointedly, thinking about 'Taian Development' and 'Lin Zhengjie' all the time in his mind.

"It's him?"

Feng Jingxi finally remembered "Who is Lin Zhengjie?" He was the one who "speculated on Jane's Villa" and sold it to his friend Li Shauji at a high price, and then held a large amount of New World Development.

"Incredible! A young man in his twenties actually bought a building in Central. I have struggled in Hong Kong for so many years before I dared to buy a building in Central."

"In this world, a genius businessman must emerge!"

From Feng Jingxi's perspective, he certainly knew the true value of the 'Tiexing Building'.

If Land had not adjusted its investment direction, it would have been reluctant to sell this building.

When Tai'an Development found out that "Land was interested in selling the Railway Building", it only took 4 days to complete all the transactions - spending HK$1.55 million to acquire the Railway Building in Des Voeux Road Central.

Including taxes, the total expenditure was HK$1.6 million. Among them, there is a capital of 4000 million Hong Kong dollars, which can be repaid in one month, and no interest is charged for the real estate.

The news came out from the media, and the fame of "Taian Development" and "Lin Zhengjie" suddenly shocked Hong Kong!

Many people dug for information about 'Taian Development' and 'Lin Zhengjie', and soon more and more versions appeared. For a time, Lin Zhengjie became famous.

Different from the 'speculation of Jane's Villa', the building transaction in Central is obviously an important news in Hong Kong. Not to mention, the person who bought this building turned out to be just a young man in his twenties.

Many media have reported that the partners of Tai'an Development include Li, Feng, Ma (Xianshi Department Store), etc., and they believe that Lin Zhengjie is also a descendant of that family.

Of course, some media also discovered that Lin Zhengjie is a truly self-made man.

In short, there are many versions, but Lin Zhengjie is really famous!

And more and more media are digging up Lin Zhengjie's background, hoping to find out the real news.

Lin Zhengjie understands that the more he does not show up, the more "magical" he will be in the Hong Kong media. At least for the past three to five years, Lin Zhengjie will not accept interviews from the media and remains mysterious enough to allow the media to "advertise" for him.

This move was learned from Chen Qingsong in his previous life.

this day.

Lin Zhengjie took Li Guoji and other staff to the "Railway Building" in Des Voeux Road for inspection.

Rent collection, of course, is not just about collecting money regularly every month or year, but you also need to manage your properties.

"Manager Li, now everyone doesn't have so much free time. The management of the Tiexing Building must keep up. Good management can reduce the vacancy rate and increase the rent."

Li Guoji said excitedly: "Understood, we must do a good job in management seriously."

He didn't expect that he just got a piece of news, and the boss actually accomplished it - the acquisition of the Tiexing Building.

Afterwards, everyone visited the Tiexing Building, which is a small building with shops on the first floor, totaling more than 5000 square feet; and offices on the 9.8th floor above, totaling square feet.

The first floor is only about 5000 square feet. It is obviously a small building and was built in the s.

Lin Zhengjie speculated that this building should be rebuilt alongside the building next to it. After all, this is a historical trend.

Of course, this is none of his business. In the early 1980s, he would definitely sell this building at a high price.
