I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

One day in early November, the "Guangyao Family Office" announced the acquisition information in major newspapers: it will acquire no more than 40 million shares of Hong Kong Electric Co., Ltd. at a price of 9 yuan per share, and the deadline will end at the end of November.

When the news came out, Hong Kong was excited!

Without him, the 'Guangyao Family Office' at this time is like playing the role of a savior, saving those investors who are trapped in stocks;

To put it simply, it is like the mainland stock market crash in the previous life, and the national team entered the field.

Sure enough, the market reacted fiercely that day, and the Hang Seng Index soared by 6 points;

As a blue chip stock in the Hang Seng Index, Hong Kong Electric's stock has also risen by 20%, and the stock price is exactly 9 Hong Kong dollars per share.

However, based on Wu Guangyao's acquisition of the company, generally the stock price will not be greatly driven up;

In addition, at this time, the stock market was in a super bear market, and the big plunge met the oil crisis, which was a double blow;

Therefore, the heat will not be very high!

On the contrary, the term "Guangyao Family Office" appeared for the first time in the eyes of the citizens of Hong Kong Island, which aroused widespread discussion among everyone.

.........

In Victoria Harbour, two yachts are sailing on the wide sea;

The people on the yacht were Wu Guangyao, Bao Yugang, Dong Yunhao, Zhao Congyan, Cao Yunjin and others;

After everyone heard about the 'Guangyao Family Office', they called Wu Guangyao one after another, wanting to learn how this family office works!

Wu Guangyao thought that the few people hadn't gotten together for a long time, so he made an appointment with everyone on his yacht.

Blue sky and white clouds, calm sea;

Everyone on the deck, while enjoying food and wine, can also watch the prosperity on both sides of Victoria Harbour.

In business talk business, several people do have commercial competition;

But that's all competition in the company, and the relationship between the few people is not bad in private.

What's more, several people have certain origins;

When Wu Guangyao and Bao Yugang entered the shipping,

They all asked Dong Yunhao for advice, and Dong Yunhao also generously imparted shipping knowledge;

Wu Guangyao supported Bao Yugang. During the Korean War, he lent money to Bao Yugang to purchase foreign trade materials, which greatly increased Bao Yugang's career;

Bao Yugang and Zhao Congyan are very good friends in private;

Therefore, everyone can still sit together, chat, and talk about career.

This kind of relationship is a bit like the relationship between Li Chaoren, Lee Shau Kee, and Zheng Yutong. Everyone can compete, but they are also friends in private.

The impact of the oil crisis on the shipping industry is also great, and it is not a good thing;

So it is necessary for everyone to get together and discuss the shipping situation!

"Guangyao, tell us how that family office works!" Dong Yunhao said impatiently.

Everyone is very curious about the "family office", because everyone has small assets, and even if they don't use it now, they may use it in the future.

After Wu Guangyao explained to everyone, when everyone heard the high operating costs of the family office, they all gave up this idea;

With the hard-earned money every year, half of the operating expenses of the family office can be spent, so let’s play P!

Indeed, the hundreds of employees of the 'Guangyao Family Office' are all senior talents, even top talents;

Even if it is an ordinary employee, if he goes to work in another company, he can at least be a middle-level employee;

Just paying these wages requires tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars every year.

Of course, after setting up a family office, various advantages come with it;

For example, this time the oil was dumped, the advantages of the family office were fully utilized, and Wu Guangyao just contacted for favors.

"The operating cost of an independent family office is really high. There are several families in the West who set up a family office together; if you save a little more, you can also choose trusts and the like; there is an old saying in China that 'wealth cannot last three generations', while in the West Relying on family offices, fund companies, and trust companies, the family can easily get rich for 300 years, let alone three generations."

Wu Guangyao's words made everyone nod their heads and have their own thoughts!

Bao Yugang was fine, after all, he only had four daughters, and his property might have to be taken by outsiders.

Then, Bao Yugang asked curiously: "Guangyao, what did you rent an oil tanker from us this time?"

Wu Guangyao said with a smile, "I dumped some oil!"

Immediately, all the 'Ship Kings' stared at Wu Guangyao, Wu Guangyao was a little hairy;

"Did you dump oil, wouldn't you dump tens of millions of tons of oil?" Dong Yunhao said incredulously.

Because everyone knows that Wu Guangyao's ship has a conservative load capacity of 1,500 tons;

And this time, it leased a multi-million-ton oil tanker from the shipowner on Hong Kong Island;

So everyone's first reaction is that Wu Guangyao dumped tens of millions of tons of oil;

Now, oil has skyrocketed several times, and the amount of money earned is probably an astronomical figure.

Wu Guangyao nodded and said, "Yes! I have tens of millions of tons of oil in my hands, and I am currently looking for buyers in Europe and the United States."

After everyone got an affirmative answer, they all calculated in their hearts, how much did Wu Guangyao earn?

The conclusion is that everyone can't help but feel a sense of frustration;

I have worked so hard to expand the size of the fleet, and I can't make as much money as others pouring oil at one time.

At this time, if Hong Kong Island ranks the richest list, Wu Guangyao is naturally the well-deserved number one;

The second place is naturally Yu-Kang Pao. This year, American magazines estimate Yu-Kang Pao to be about 400 million U.S. dollars;

Originally, in history, Bao Yugang's net worth this year was 1 billion US dollars, and 60% of it was "robbed" by Wu Guangyao;

And Wu Guangyao also took away a lot of business from Europe, America, Japan and other countries. Even Dong Haoyun, who is from Taiwan, was robbed of 50% of the business by Wu Guangyao.

Everyone was still in a state of astonishment, and Wu Guangyao also said: "After this time, the Global Group may gradually reduce oil tankers!"

This can't be hidden, and the news of selling the ship will definitely be revealed, so it's better to say it generously!

"Why?" Dong Yunhao asked urgently.

Wu Guangyao explained: "The shipping trend is expected to weaken, coupled with the rapid increase in labor wages on Hong Kong Island (1,100 Hong Kong dollars per capita, 2,200 Hong Kong dollars per seafarer); most importantly, the volume of global shipping is too large and needs to be reduced. To maintain the company's ability to resist risks."

Feeling that this reminder was not enough, Wu Guangyao said directly to Dong Yunhao: "Old Dong, I know you are a good friend of the shipping company, but I remind you that you must control the borrowing. The same principle as real estate, a small amount of borrowing can help the company survive. Bitter winter; borrow too much, and it falls only at dawn."

Dong Yunhao may not be able to listen to other people's words, but he can always listen to Wu Guangyao's words;

Therefore, Dong Yunhao nodded and said: "I will seriously consider it! To be honest, last time you told us to buy gold, although I agree with your analysis, I only bought 20 million Hong Kong dollars in gold. It has appreciated to $100 per ounce, which has more than tripled, and I regret buying less when I think about it!"

Wu Guangyao said: "I predict that gold will be ready for sale next year, and $140 per ounce should be almost a high point. Afterwards, it should adjust back and then counterattack."

In fact, the highest price of gold was US$200 per ounce in 1974, but this US$200 was only a flash in the pan, and the real stable price was US$180 per ounce, which lasted for more than three months.

As the saying goes, the grace of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring;

Wu Guangyao was practicing this, and of course he didn't tell the truth, and deliberately lowered the price estimate.

For Dong Yunhao, Wu Guangyao still tried his best to help, and Wu Guangyao also planned to support Dong's eldest son to ascend the throne of Hong Kong Governor.

As for the ships sold by Global Shipping, Bao Yugang and Dong Yunhao are not necessarily interested;

Because the load capacity of these ships is too small, the operating cost is high;

And the two people now are not the same as before. Both of them like to build new ships and big ships.

However, Cao Yunjin was very interested. After all, the Cao family has joint venture shipping companies in Southeast Asia, Thailand, and Malaysia;

And Southeast Asia is not rich, so it would be nice to have oil tankers!
