I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

"I want to be a wealthy family on Hong Kong Island ()"!

The news of HSBC's stake in Global Shipping shocked Hong Kong and Kowloon!

HSBC Bank controls the finances of Hong Kong Island, and Global Shipping is an Asian shipping giant. How can it not be shocking for the two to get together!

This contract is divided into two steps:

The first step is to sign a formal contract in the conference room of the Peninsula Hotel;

The second step is to hold a media conference in the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel.

In the conference room, under the witness of their respective lawyers, both parties signed their names and stamped their red seals;

So far, HSBC has paid USD 13.8 million in cash to obtain 20% of the shares of Global Shipping; and exchanged 35% of the shares of Hong Kong Island Airlines for 2% of the shares of Global Shipping in the hands of Wu Guangyao.

The new shareholding status of Global Shipping is: Wu Guangyao holds 76% of the shares, HSBC holds 22% of the shares, and He Yuanzhang holds 2% of the shares (including 1% equity incentive).

After the contract was signed, everyone came to the lobby to meet with Chinese and foreign media reporters from Hong Kong Island and answer their questions.

"Wu Sheng, why did Global Shipping choose HSBC as a shareholder? As far as I know, Global Shipping is at the peak of its development, and there is no shortage of funds or business; at this time, you are at a disadvantage if you let HSBC become a shareholder?" Da Gong The newspaper reporter asked, but there was an implication in the words, which meant that HSBC had bullied Chinese businessmen by virtue of its status as a British capital.

After all, Da Gong Bao is the official newspaper on the opposite side, so it is inevitable that it will have political tendencies;

Of course, it is also possible that he is advocating 'justice' for Wu Guangyao. After all, Wu Guangyao is also a patriotic businessman.

But this is not what Wu Guangyao wants now. At this time, the influence on Hong Kong Island is too small, too small to protect himself;

Then I can only follow closely...

Wu Guangyao answered this question purely from a commercial point of view: "In the eyes of outsiders, our global shipping is not short of money and business, and there is really no need to introduce shareholders. However, in my opinion, global shipping has not achieved the top in Asia. Shipping companies, not to mention the European and American markets, are waiting for us to develop. Therefore, it is very necessary to introduce a large enterprise like HSBC at this time. Time waits for no one. We can expand our scale earlier, and we can Get a share of the world shipping earlier."

HSBC Daban Guy breathed a sigh of relief. If these politically charged media really get caught,

It will definitely cause trouble on Hong Kong Island.

The reporters from Da Gong Bao caused an effect at the press conference, and the questions from these media reporters became more and more outrageous, so that Wu Guangyao and Gay could only be cautious.

It's no wonder that in the media meetings of later generations, those who were interviewed accidentally got negative news, it's all the credit of these media comrades!

.........

When Keswick heard that HSBC had invested in Global Shipping, his first reaction was to pick up the phone and call the minority shareholders who held the shares.

Under strong pressure from Keswick, the two small shareholders who sold their shares had no choice but to admit, and complained to Keswick: "We can't blame us, you Jardines have dominated Hong Kong Island Airlines for three years, to the shareholders What has brought about is not only a decline in performance, but also less and less hope, and even on the verge of bankruptcy."

Keswick hung up the phone, not wanting to hear these traitors complain!

Keswick did not call HSBC, because he had already guessed what happened. It must be the Chinese businessman who lured HSBC with the shares of Global Shipping.

Keswick thinks that if he were to replace him, he would not refuse such a good thing!

Keswick decided to visit the governor to see if he could get the support of the Hong Kong government and force Wu Guangyao to hand over his shares.

In fact, Jardine Matheson does not value Hong Kong Island Airlines;

However, this is a great shame!

When did Chinese businessmen dare to take the idea of ​​British-funded foreign firms? This trend cannot continue like this.

 …

"Mr. Keswick, the governor is meeting with guests, please sit here for a while!" the assistant to the governor said friendly.

From this detail, it can be seen that on Hong Kong Island, the governor is the largest;

On Hong Kong Island, only the Chief Secretary, the Financial Secretary, and the Attorney General have the right to have a direct audience with the Governor.

"Excuse me, who is the guest inside?" Keswick asked casually.

"It's Wu Guangyao!"

Keswick was taken aback, how could it be such a coincidence, could it be that this person came to seek support from the governor?

Keswick really guessed right. For such a big matter, Wu Guangyao would naturally choose to visit Ge Lianghong to seek fair treatment!

After all, if the Hong Kong government gets stuck on the route, wouldn't it be an early surrender!

At this time, Ge Lianghong was carefully watching the "Aviation Industry Development Plan" written by Wu Guangyao, and said to Wu Guangyao after reading it: "How do you deal with the relationship with Jardine Matheson? After all, they also have 40% of the shares!"

Wu Guangyao had already thought about this issue, and it was up to Jardine Matheson's choice.

"If they are willing, everyone can cooperate and develop Hong Kong Island Airlines together!"

"Okay, Keswick is outside, I'll invite him in, the two of you can see if you can cooperate!"

Wu Guangyao was taken aback for a moment, it turned out that this was what the assistant said in the governor's ear just now!

Fortunately, I came a step ahead and took the initiative. If Keswick came first, I don't know how the two of them will discuss how to deal with me!

After Keswick came in, he looked at Wu Guangyao with unfriendly eyes. After all, one moment he said he was not interested in taking over Hong Kong Island, and the next moment he reached an alliance with HSBC.

"Mr. Keswick, this is the end of the matter, let's discuss the future of Hong Kong Island Airlines." Ge Lianghong acted as a peacemaker.

"Mr. Governor, Hong Kong Island Airlines was established by our British Airways Overseas Development Company. I don't think the Chinese should be allowed to dominate. This is a violation of our British interests!"

When Wu Guangyao heard this, the words sound familiar. It seems that in the 1980s, Hong Kong Dragon Airlines wanted to open a route to the mainland, and the British also said the same thing; if Hong Kong Dragon Airlines opened a route from Hong Kong Island to the mainland, it would be stealing from the British. interests, because the majority shareholder of Dragonair is not a British citizen.

In the end, Bao Yugang (British nationality) became the major shareholder, and the matter was considered complete; however, too many clauses restricted Dragonair, such as no publicity, no direct sales of tickets to passengers, and no establishment of offices at the terminal stations of the route. At the same time, these terms have turned Dragonair into a charter company.

Now it is different from that time. The current route to Hong Kong Island is divided into north and south, with Cathay Pacific and Hong Kong Island Airlines on each side, so Wu Guangyao dared to start.

"Mr. Keswick is serious. After British Airways Overseas Development Company withdrew, Hong Kong Island Airlines has already belonged to Hong Kong Island's local airlines. I also acquired the equity within the scope of business. I bought it with real money. How could it violate the interests of the United Kingdom? .Also, if Hong Kong Island Airlines continues like this, sooner or later it will go bankrupt; at that time, what about British capital and Chinese capital?” Wu Guangyao was not aggressive, just discussing the facts.

"Okay! Both of you, this is the end of the matter. I think you should consider cooperation." Ge Lianghong once again became a peacemaker. It seems that the Governor attaches great importance to Wu Guangyao, otherwise it would not be so 'fair'.

Next, under the adjustment of the governor, Wu Guangyao and Keswick finally had a preliminary discussion head-on.

"What, invest 10 million US dollars?" Keswick couldn't help shouting when he heard Wu Guangyao's plan.

One part of Wu Guangyao's plan is that all shareholders will invest a total of US$10 million in proportion to their shareholdings to purchase three Viscount 708 airliners.

In April 1953, the British European Airlines Company opened the world's first regular turboprop airliner with the original production model "Viscount" 701.

Boeing is still a novice in passenger aircraft. It was not until 1958 that the Boeing 707 started the "Boeing Era".

The Viscount 701 is a new airliner produced in London. Wu Guangyao proposed this procurement plan, and he also meant to show his favor to London!

"Jardines can choose not to invest, but the shares will be diluted. The new shareholding ratio is about 86% for me, and only 11% for Jardines." Wu Guangyao quickly figured out the answer.

In the end, no agreement was reached with the Governor's Office, but Wu Guangyao's entry into Hong Kong Island Airlines is a foregone conclusion.

Keswick also knew that he was powerless, so he left the governor's office with a complicated expression.

 …

Just the night before Wu Guangyao was going to leave for Europe, an unexpected person asked Wu Guangyao and Brother Fang to have dinner together, that is Ho Hongshen.

"Guangyao, Boss Fang, if I hire Leidun Security, will it guarantee my safety in Macau?" He Hongshen said earnestly with hope in his eyes.

It turned out that the business of Stanley Ho's kerosene factory in Macau was so booming that he actually made the big shots in Macau jealous.

This big man has a deep foundation, great power, and wealth, but he hides in the dark, manipulating the local H society in Macau behind the scenes, and uses various tricks on Ho Hongshen to threaten Ho Hongshen to leave Macau.

After all, Ho Hongshen is from Hong Kong Island, and he doesn't have much foundation in Macau, so he fell into a disadvantage for a while;

Although Ho Hongsun is not afraid of death, his friends on Hong Kong Island advised him to leave Macau to temporarily avoid the limelight;

He still didn't give up, thinking of Lei Dun's security, he found Wu Guangyao and Fang Ge'er for help.

"Brother, the so-called strong dragon does not overwhelm the snake! Leidun Security does have the ability to protect you, but you can't afford that price. It's not that I won't help you, but that once involved in this war, there will be countless casualties. People have to pay for the economic loss. In fact, Hong Kong Island is developing better than Macau now, and you must be a character when you return to Hong Kong Island with funds, and you may not be able to return to Macau in the future." Wu Guangyao advised.

"Yes, Boss He, Leidun Security has no problem in protecting the lives of customers. The key is that those people still trouble your company and employees, which is very troublesome!" Brother Fang also persuaded.

Ho Hongsun is not only facing a big man, but maybe the entire local faction in Macau;

How many people would the Leidun Security need to send to settle the matter, He Hongshen may not be able to afford the whole price.

He Hongshen was a little sad to hear that, no matter how good Hong Kong Island is, he has been in Macau for so many years, so he is willing to leave easily.

"Then I want to ask Leidun Security to send someone to protect me for a month. I will leave Macau calmly and handle the business well!" Ho Hongshen said.

Brother Fang didn't nod, but looked at his young master.

The big man in Macau forced Ho Hongshen to leave, thinking that Ho Hongshen would leave in embarrassment, so the kerosene company naturally had no time to deal with it and could only sell it at a low price.

If Leidun security gets involved, casualties are inevitable!

"Ten days! We can only guarantee your safety for ten days. During these ten days, you should hurry up and save a lot of losses!" Wu Guangyao finally agreed to He Hongshen, but reduced some risks.

"Okay, then ten days!"

Wu Guangyao never asked who the big man was from the beginning to the end, nor did He Hongshen;

Thinking about it, he wasn't sure, after all, that boss hid it too well.

Of course, if Wu Guangyao wants to know, there is a way. After all, he has his own intelligence team in Macau, and this intelligence team belongs to Leidun Security.

But Wu Guangyao was worried that this big shot was someone he knew, and that would be a disappointment to himself!

Therefore, it is better not to inquire!

Wu Guangyao doesn't like this kind of grievances, nor does he want to!

 …

In early June, Wu Guangyao arrived in London. After staying in London for one night, he came to Germany again.

Under the recommendation of Henry, the president of Burke Machinery, Wu Guangyao met the former president of the Reichsbank of Germany, Hjalmar Schacht.

Worried that Onassis would get ahead of him, Wu Guangyao couldn't wait to come to Germany before finishing his Hong Kong affairs.

In a high-end restaurant, Wu Guangyao, Henry, and Almar Schacht were chatting while enjoying delicious food.

"Mr. Wu, do you need a loan?" Alma Schacht didn't know Wu Guangyao at first, but when Henry introduced him, he felt that this person was not simple, he was a business tycoon, and this kind of tycoon was his potential client .

Wu Guangyao shook his head, but said with a smile: "I don't need a loan for now, but I can introduce you to a business, but you have to fight for it yourself!"

Halma Schacht became interested and said, "Then please tell me!"

Wu Guangyao told Halma Schacht about his plan, that is, Halma Shakht persuaded the Saudi king and crown prince to agree to Wu Guangyao's oil tanker monopoly plan, and Halma Shakht behind the scenes The consortium can lend money to the Saudi royal family to buy oil tankers.

After hearing Wu Guangyao's plan, both of them were dumbfounded. They didn't expect such a bold person to exist in the world. Wouldn't this offend the entire European and American shipowners?

"Wu, I have to admit that this is a very challenging project, but there are many risks in it!" Almar Schacht said after recovering.

"Haha, for Mr. Schacht, there is no loss or risk, you only need to make a trip!"

Halmar Schacht has a high reputation in the German financial street, and this year he opened a bank of his own, so he is in urgent need of customers;

Burke Machinery is exactly what he is fighting for, so he will definitely help with this job; the important thing is that after success, he can get a loan from Saudi Arabia through a consortium he knows, and he can also receive a large commission.

Sure enough, after thinking about it for a while, Almar Schacht really agreed.

Three days later, Wu Guangyao and Almar Shakht came to the Saudi royal family and tried to persuade the old king again, but they were still rejected.

Wu Guangyao already knew this result, and he was just going through a process;

The operation of this step is to let Onassis find himself and propose cooperation;

Of course, Wu Guangyao mainly came to Saudi Arabia to attack the Crown Prince. As long as the Crown Prince approves it, it is absolutely impossible for him to abandon this plan.
