Reborn Capital Madman

At this stage, the relationship between Gao Xian and Bao Yugang is actually an alliance.

In terms of external pressure alone, both of them have snatched the big fat they want from British capital, and naturally they can be called confidants on how to "protect food"; moreover, at a time when the times are changing, no one wants to be their own.

The business kingdom has been eliminated by the changes of dynasties, so it is even more necessary to hold together for warmth.

Therefore, although the considerable amount of Wharf stocks exchanged by the Jardines and others was a big piece of meat, it would not trigger the kind of "infighting" that the Keswick family expected.

Bao Yugang and Gao Xian directly and openly finalized the framework. Most of the Wharf shares were delivered to Bao's name first, and the rest was still temporarily held by Gao to avoid Bao's shareholding ratio in Wharf.

If it exceeds 51%, it will trigger a comprehensive takeover and cause unnecessary trouble.

The biggest advantage of this arrangement is that the Bao family's control over the Wharf is as foolproof as possible, which is enough to completely digest the Wharf in a step-by-step manner, buy enough time, and at the same time have one more connection with the Gao family.

As for the specific price, method, time, etc. of this transaction, it is all a matter of detail for the two big guys. In short, everyone can be happy with the result.

After settling this serious matter, Gao Xian and Bao Yugang sat down at the dining table and chatted while changing glasses.

"The Acquisitions and Mergers Committee always makes such irresponsible remarks about Kaixin Industrial's acquisition of Land. Is there something else going on?" Bao Yugang asked with concern.

Everyone is sensible. Gao Xian's acquisition of Land and the pressure from the Hong Kong government actually protected Bao Yugang's acquisition of Wharf. If he really couldn't hold on and was defeated, Bao Yugang would not be able to survive either.

.

"I feel that even if there is unwillingness or some instigation, it will not affect the fait accompli in the end." Gao Xian muttered: "Now, the rise of Chinese capital in Xiangjiang is an unstoppable trend. If it is forcibly suppressed, it is very likely that it will

It has been elevated to a political issue."

Gao Xian's judgment is of course not just a matter of paper. At present, Xiangjiang Huazi has not only greatly increased its capital strength, but is also actively seeking reliable and long-term political resources. Bao Yugang is not the only business tycoon who has actively moved closer to Yanjing this year.

For example, for this year's National Day celebrations, many celebrities in the Xiangjiang business community graciously accepted the invitation and prepared to go to Yanjing. Among them was Li Bancheng, who was about to enter Beijing for the first time.

As for Gao Xian, he must choose an opportunity to go to Beijing alone to accept the reception. Otherwise, the achievements and value he has worked hard for over the years will not be shown.

The background of this general trend is that the domestic economic problems in the UK are very difficult. For so many years, no matter who comes to power, they have taken it one step at a time and muddle along. Therefore, like the United States, they are very eager to have a good relationship with China in order to enter the blank space.

of the huge Chinese market, thereby alleviating the economic conflicts in its own backyard.

I would like to ask, under such a demanding situation, how could the British really ruin their international reputation by being acquired by Chinese capital within the rules of the game for several companies of the British-owned interest group in the Far East?

After all, Gao Xian did not touch the symbols of British capital in the Far East - HSBC and Jardine, and he himself is not an ordinary person who can be manipulated casually. Now that he has eaten this piece of fat in his mouth, he will never spit it out again.

Out.

Bao Yugang thought of the recent high-profile acquisition of Xiangjiang Electric by Happy Energy and couldn't help but smile knowingly, "Sir Gao acquired Xiangjiang Electric through Happy Energy. Let's hit the acquisition and merger committee and let those British officials in charge of specific affairs wake up."

Think clearly and understand the current situation, which is a very satisfying move that will benefit the entire Chinese capital."

Gao Xian burst out laughing when he was praised, and confessed with all his heart: "To be honest with Sir Bao, I asked Gao Xing Energy to acquire Xiangjiang Electric Light not just out of a momentary dispute, but also with selfish motives, wanting to take advantage of Xiangjiang Electric Light, which has not yet been fully developed.

The assets are in the pocket.”

"Sir Gao's business vision has always been admirable." Bao Yugang asked curiously: "I wonder what Sir Gao's considerations are about Xiangjiang Electric Light?"

Gao Xian pointed to the high-rise buildings outside the window, "With the current trend, almost all business in Hong Kong is inseparable from real estate."

Bao Yugang's mind was spinning, and he suddenly blurted out: "Is it possible that Sir Gao has taken a fancy to the land of the old power plant of Xiangjiang Electric Light?"

Gao Xian chuckled, "Fortunately, I acted faster, otherwise, I would have lost my love to Sir Bao."

Bao Yugang was already a mature and prudent man in his sixties, but he still couldn't resist the clever compliments of Gao Xian, who was nearly thirty years his junior. He waved his hands helpfully and said: "No, Sir Gao didn't mention the potential of Xiangjiang Electric Light."

, I can’t discover the real value of Xiangjiang Electric Light either.”

In fact, in terms of the electricity sales business alone, the performance of Heung Kong Electric is not as good as that of China Electric Power controlled by the Kadoorie family. The stock price is a proof. Even during the low period of the Hong Kong stock market in 1974 and 1

In 1975, it was able to maintain a level above ten yuan, while the stock price of Xiangjiang Electric Lighting was in the single-digit range all year round. Perhaps this is the difference between whether there is a family behind the company who is working hard to develop the company.

Let’s talk about the land of Heung Kong Electric. After its establishment in 1818, the first power plant was built in Wan Chai District of Hong Kong Island, which was still a suburb at that time. By the beginning of this century, the power plant entered a saturated state, and the urban area of ​​Heung Kong City extended to Wan Chai.

Heung Kong Electric acquired land on the seaside in North Point, Hong Kong Island from the Hong Kong government to build a new power plant.

In the 1960s, the North Point Power Plant entered a state of saturation again. At the same time, dense residential areas were built in North Point. In addition, coal-fired power generation at the North Point Power Plant was obviously not as economical as using fuel-fired power generation. Therefore, Heung Kong Electric obtained power from the Hong Kong government in the southern part of Hong Kong Island.

A large-scale oil-fired power plant was built on the Ap Lei Chau site. The first generating unit with a power generation capacity of 60 megawatts was officially put into operation in 1968.

It is a pity that God is not as good as man. A world oil crisis that spreads around the world has caused Ap Lei Chau fuel power plant to suffer a lot. This has made Heung Kong Electric realize that power generation relies entirely on fuel, and it is easy for a tree to hang itself.

This embarrassing situation led to the Hong Kong government’s approval this year to build a large-scale integrated power plant on Lamma Island that can use multiple energy sources.

The potential of Xiangjiang Electric that Gao Xian is interested in is the land where the North Point Power Plant is located. Once it is vacated, the advantages of the prime location will be fully demonstrated. According to the current market trend, its value should exceed one billion Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, in a few years, after the Lamma Island Integrated Power Plant is fully completed and the Ap Lei Chau Power Plant is gradually decommissioned, the land vacated will become a prime location again.

Therefore, Gao Xian felt this. It is difficult for high-end businesses in Xiangjiang to bypass real estate.
