Chapter 123

  Enter the Ballroom of the Peninsula Hotel.

  It is also because of the relationship between Old York and Shen Bi that Ye Huainan has also squeezed in with the so-called top ten richest people in Xiangjiang.

  This pair had only heard about the charity gala in the past life, and they were a little confused.

  However, it is not bad to be able to take this opportunity to meet the rich and powerful people in Hong Kong.

  At this time, the inland has just been reformed and opened up, and the market economy is even more blank.

  Today's Hong Kong, a city with a population of several million, accounts for almost [-]% of the inland GDP.

  At this time, the top ten richest people in Xiangjiang are full of gold content. The energy of these people is shaking in all walks of life in Xiangjiang, and the entire industry will tremble.

  Seeing that they are all competitors, but wearing a fake mask, they chat very happily.

  Ye Huainan thought it was very boring, so he took Shi Yaxuan and He Chaoqiong to the corner of the banquet, got some desserts for the two girls, and found a place to sit down.

  Chatting while eating.

  After a short chat, everyone in the banquet hall formed a small group.

  As the saying goes, if you want to be a tiger, don't walk with a wolf.

  Tiger, open and aboveboard.

  Wolf, insidious and cunning.

  Characters are different, don't have to be heart-to-heart.

  If you want to be an eagle, don't share a nest with a sparrow.

  Eagle, foresight.

  Sparrow, short-sighted.

  Different aspirations, no need to go deep.

  And at the banquet at this time, it was even more vividly reflected.

  "Huinan, why did you come to this corner?" Old Man Jin also came over with some snacks.

  "I don't like this kind of occasion." Ye Huainan laughed. He was naturally free and easy, but he really couldn't see such a bright smile and secretly didn't know how to arrange an occasion.

  "I didn't expect to go with you. You are really lucky to have caught up with the fourth-generation head of the Shi Huai Ya family, the little hermit princess." Jin Yong smiled and looked at Shi Yaxuan and said.

  "Shi Huaiya's family?" Ye Huainan at this time was in a real sense, seeing the family background of his sweet wife.

  "You don't know?" Jimin asked suspiciously.

  "I only know that Yaxuan's family background is simple, but I think in the direction of such a big consortium." Ye Huainan turned to look at Shi Yaxuan and said.

  "It's not my fault, you never asked me again." Shi Yaxuan said suddenly with big eyes.

  "The Swire Group, the leader behind it is the Shi Huai Ya family, one of the four major British consortiums in Xiangjiang. Ya Xuan, you really hide it." He Chaoqiong, who heard Shi Ya Xuan's true identity, was also shocked.

  At this time, Ye Huainan recalled the first time he heard about the Shi Huaiya family in his previous life.

  It was a report on the Internet.

  The British company owned by the Shi Huai Ya family has a history of more than [-] years. It firmly focuses on trade and shipping, slowly expanding its business, and does not invest in stocks, futures, or the Internet.Even the head of each family business speaks softly, like a mold.

  Just the Swire Group on the surface, the total market value of companies listed in Hong Kong alone exceeds 2000 billion Hong Kong dollars. Even many economists are not clear about the situation of those unlisted companies.

  There are also good Hong Kong media who have done calculations and believe that the Shi Huai Ya family behind the Swire Group is the real richest man in Asia surpassing Li Jiacheng.

  And their family's 200-year history of insisting on industrial investment can be called a legend.

  Swire in the previous life has developed into one of the largest Coca-Cola bottlers in Asia and the United States, exercising the exclusive right to produce, promote and distribute Coca-Cola products in Hong Kong, Taiwan Island, 12 inland provinces and cities and a wide range of western parts of the United States. The franchise area covers more than 7.2 million people.

  The Taikoo ship has made a arduous transformation to the extreme. Even if the destination is an unnamed island in the South Pacific, as long as there is a wharf on the island, the Taikoo ship can deliver the goods.

  Only what you can't think of, there is nothing that can't be transported in the ancient times.As long as you choose an ancient ship, dinosaurs can be transported to you.

  Despite the ups and downs of the shipping market for decades, Swire has almost become the only shipping company that has been profitable.

  Swire Group also owns aviation and ancillary service companies such as Cathay Pacific, Dragonair, Heungkong Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd., Swire Airlines Catering Company, Cathay Pacific Catering Service Co., Ltd., Heungkong Airport Services Co., Ltd. and Aviation Security Service Company.

  Some people even say that most of the local planes flying in the sky of Xiangjiang belong to the Shi Huai Ya family.

  What is even more staggering is Swire Properties, which only rents but does not sell. Li Jiacheng, who owned global properties in his previous life in 2018, collected HK$72 billion in global rent, which is an exaggeration. In the same year, the rental income of Swire Properties reached an astonishing HK$[-] million.

  Not to mention what's hidden behind such an industry.

  At this time, Ye Huainan discovered that Shi Yaxuan was a woman who could save people from struggling for two hundred years.

  However, Ye Huainan, who was reborn through rebirth, did not have any big surprises. After all, with his own advantages, he would inevitably build a bigger business empire.

  "' 'Okay, don't look at me like this, I didn't even think of it, not to mention that the territory of our national group must be a hundred times larger than this." Ye Huainan vowed.

  "I believe in you, Huainan, you are the best." Shi Yaxuan and He Chaoqiong said in unison.

  "You young people, you can't take care of me, how old I feel." Jin Yong rolled his eyes and said.

  "Haha, by the way, Mr. Jin's charity auction, when will (Zhao Nuo's) start? It's kind of boring to stay like this." Ye Huainan ignored Jin Yong's eyes and complained.

  "What's the hurry, the dinner lasted about two hours, mainly to give the entrepreneurs in Xiangjiang enough time to communicate. After all, not everyone hides in the corner like you." Jin Yong smiled.

  "It doesn't start until eight o'clock in the evening, it's really boring." Ye Huainan said speechlessly.

  "You're still boring, and there are two delicate beauties beside you, but I'm really in the wrong place for the old man." Jin Yongwei laughed and scolded the old man disrespectfully.

  "Huainan, this is the auction brochure for this charity auction. You can first see if there are any items you like." He Chaoqiong handed over the auction brochure donkey that he had been holding in his hand.

  After taking the manual, Ye Huainan casually flipped through it.

  When he saw the last auction item, even his eyes widened. .

Chapter 124

  "Master Jin, why are all the shares of HSBC up for auction, and they are still close to 20%?" Ye Huainan asked in confusion.

  "This is not included in the scope of charity auctions. It is a way of HSBC's disguised assistance to pull aid. In fact, it is nothing. At this time, HSBC's scale in the Hong Kong area is not bad, but it is not really a big deal in the world. What, who can participate in this charity auction, who is not a prominent person in Xiangjiang, no matter what, HSBC will not suffer a loss." Jin Yong saw the trick at a glance, and explained it.

  "That's true!" Ye Huainan nodded.

  "Besides, Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang are both shareholders of HSBC. It seems that they intend to sell their Hutchison Whampoa shares. Why do you have any thoughts on this?" Jin Yong asked rhetorically.

  "Wasn't Hutchison Whampoa shares sold to Li Jiacheng by Shen Bi last year?" Ye Huainan was even more puzzled.

  "There is no such thing. This year, HSBC Group wants to acquire 51% of the shares of Marine National Bank in New York State by courting the big consortium of Heung Kong. It wants to establish a stable docking point in North America. This time, it is auctioning shares, mainly to win over Heung Kong. to facilitate this acquisition, why do you have an idea?" Jin 790 Yong said.

  Ye Huainan was taken aback for a moment. Now the butterfly effect has happened again. It should have happened two years ago, and the preparations have only started now.

  You must know that in 1980, after HSBC Group successfully acquired a 51% stake in Marine National Bank in New York State, the transaction increased the assets of HSBC Group from HK$1280 billion to HK$2430 billion.The most important thing is that it paved the way for HSBC to further enter the American market. Since then, HSBC's development has been flat, and it has turned nearly 153 million times in 1 years.

  At this time, the market value of HSBC Group was only about 1000 billion Hong Kong dollars. This is simply money.

  But at this time, Ye Huainan's total cash in hand was only 20 billion yuan.

  "It's useless to have an idea. This 20% stake is at least 200 billion Hong Kong dollars, plus the premium is not even a hundred million Hong Kong dollars. It is impossible to win." Ye Huainan sighed and said.

  "This is indeed true. After all, your development time is still short. If you give you more time, you will surely rise to the top." Jin Yong also said with some regret.

  "Huinan, are you really interested in this?" Shi Yaxuan asked with concern.

  "Well, it's a pity that a clever woman can't cook." Ye Huainan nodded and said regretfully.

  "Huinan, what are you sighing for?" I saw that Old York came over with Rong Wenwei.

  "Daddy, Mommy, Huainan is interested in the 20% stake in HSBC, but the funds are not enough. Can you help him?" Shi Yaxuan said coquettishly.

  "Huinan, you have some discernment, this is indeed a good deal, but it is not a small amount, and it is impossible for me to provide such a large amount of money to help you because of Ya Xuan's few words, and see if you can convince you. My reason, after all, it's a matter of business." Master Ke said in fairly fluent Chinese.

  "Uncle Shi, look at how I take the entire Quanmin Group as collateral and pay the annualized 12% interest." Ye Huainan said after thinking for a long time.

  "It doesn't seem like it's worth [-] million Hong Kong dollars, doesn't it?" Old York Jiao asked rhetorically with interest.

  "Uncle Shi, you may not know the value of the Quanmin Group, not to mention the Quanmin Newspaper, All-Star Films, Records, the entertainment company that everyone in Hong Kong knows. Guangguang 'Tian Shang Lao' hot pot restaurant chain and the entire Lan Lan Kwai Fong Property, as well as the terrifying cash flow of industries such as Like Yepu and 'Made in the East', the perfect linkage of National Comics and National Toys, and possessing various excellent IPs such as "Transformers" and "The Lion King", " I don't need to say more about the success of "Transformers", just an existing "Lion King", once it goes on sale, the movie box office plus copyright peripheral income will have at least [-] billion US dollars in revenue, in fact, the National Group is not short of money. , it's just that I invested too much in another field some time ago, so I can't take out so much cash all at once, and now all I lack is time." Ye Huainan explained the advantages he had at this time.

  On the other hand, Jin Yong was a little stunned by the industry that Ye Huainan said.

  After all, Ye Huainan's many industries are not well known and are hidden deep.

  When they learned that there was another "Lion King" in the hands of National Animation, which could generate nearly [-] billion US dollars, everyone was stunned, including Shi Yaxuan and He Chaoqiong.

  What is the concept of 1 billion US dollars? At this time, the ratio of US dollar to Hong Kong dollar is 6 to [-].

  [-] billion US dollars is equivalent to [-] billion Hong Kong dollars, which is only the income of an animated film.

  This is still conservative in what Ye Huainan said. According to the previous life, it was a total income of more than [-] billion US dollars, but after the event that the box office of "Infernal Affairs" deviates from the previous life, Ye Huainan at this time only dares to be conservative. .

  "Daddy, just help Huainan, I believe what he said must be fine." Shi Yaxuan waved Old York's hand and said coquettishly.

  "Okay, the family doesn't talk about the two families, and don't talk about the mortgage. Just talk about it, Old York, and help my son-in-law Huainan." I saw Rong Wenwei akimbo and said loudly to Old York.

  Ye Huainan was also dumbfounded. Could it be that he was handsome enough to be recognized by his mother-in-law.

  "Wenwei! What about outside? What did you say when you were at home? You have to save me enough face outside." Old York said to Rong Wenwei with a look of grievance.

  "Then you can say whether you agree or not!" Rong Wenwei still did not show weakness, but said aggressively.

  "Okay! It's up to your head office." Old York looked honest, and was governed clearly.

  "York, I knew you were the best." Rong Wenwei said softly. After speaking, he turned to Shi Yaxuan and smiled, "I'll tell you, there's no problem."

  At this time, Ye Huainan realized that everything in front of him was due to Shi Yaxuan.

  I almost really thought that I had met twice before and after, and I had conquered my mother-in-law by her looks.

  Finally, after some discussions, Ye Huainan got the support of [-] million Hong Kong dollars as he wished.

  Originally, both Old York and Rong Wenwei insisted that no mortgage and interest were required, and they only needed to repay the principal in [-] installments.

  But in the end, at Ye Huainan's strong request, the two finally accepted double the bank's interest to repay the interest.

  Ye Huainan knew that his business empire was about to set sail, but it was also accompanied by various powerful challenges and pressures. .
