MTL - Reborn Capital Tycoon-Chapter 160 crazy decision

  Chapter 160 Crazy decision

  The most important point is the attitude of HSBC.

  Jardine Matheson, as the head of the four major foreign firms, its business involves all aspects of the industry, and its influence is the absolute leader among British-funded enterprises.

  If it weren't for HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank to hold the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars, then Jardine Matheson would probably be the master of Hong Kong's financial sector.

   Such a giant consortium is far from being comparable to the other three foreign firms with the same reputation. Take Hutchison as an example, the current market value of Hutchison is not even comparable to that of Jardine Land.

  Jardines Hongkong Land Company is the leader in the Hong Kong real estate industry. Most of the golden land on Xiangjiang Island, especially in Central, is in the hands of Hongkong Land Company.

   It is no exaggeration to say that the gold content of Hongkong Land is equal to the sum of the four major Chinese-funded real estate developers (Sun Hung Kai Properties, Henderson Land, Cheung Kong, and New World) that have just emerged

  The reason why HSBC in the previous life supported the charter king to compete for Jardine's Wharf was because the charter king wanted to abandon the ship and go ashore.

   As the director of HSBC Bank, the Chartered Ship King is also the world's shipping king single-handedly supported by HSBC Bank. The relationship between the two can be regarded as both prosperity and loss.

  In addition, at the end of the 1970s, after the internal conflicts in the interior subsided, the reform and opening up began, and the return of Xiangjiang was officially placed on the table of China and Britain.

  Inland’s firm attitude towards the return of Xiangjiang in the previous life made many British-funded enterprises, including Jardine Matheson, plan to withdraw from the Xiangjiang market or reduce investment in the Xiangjiang market.

  In that case, for its own benefit, HSBC finally chose to fully support the charter king and give it a go with Jardine Matheson.

   There are still several years before the inland reform and opening up. In the next few years, in the last glorious period of British capital, can the arrogance and pride of the British tolerate his existence?

  You must know that the rise of Li Chaoren and others in the previous life largely followed the development of the trend of the times.

   Half a step ahead is a genius, one step ahead is a madman.

  ‘Should I give it a go? ’ Chen Yi has a headache now.

  Honestly speaking, this opportunity is very rare, and he really didn’t want to miss it. Affected by the stock market crash and the oil crisis, the stock prices of Wharf and other listed companies fell very sharply.

   After the new year, there will be another big downtrend. The stock market crash in 1973 lasted until 2074, and the Hang Seng Index fell by 90%.

   At this time, buying stocks of listed companies is equivalent to spending one dollar in exchange for ten dollars worth of stocks.

  In the previous life, the charter king spent two billion Hong Kong dollars to **** Wharf from Jardine. Now, according to the market value of Wharf, he can take Wharf into his pocket for a maximum of 200 million.

  As for Jardine Matheson, before the Wharf incident, the shareholding ratio of British-funded Matheson in its subsidiaries was not as much as imagined.

  Before the 1970s, the British had always been eyeing Chinese-funded enterprises, and there had never been a Chinese businessman who took the initiative to provoke a British-funded foreign firm.

  The former Jardine Matheson Co., Ltd. only started to pay attention to the holding of its subsidiaries after the Wharf incident.

  If Chen Yi can catch people by surprise and buy some stocks of Wharf and Golden Gate Construction first under the chaotic stock market, it will be easy to succeed.

  Of course, the biggest problem facing Chen Yi now is not whether he can acquire the two companies, but whether he can withstand the pressure from Jardine Matheson or even other foreign firms once he acquires the two companies.

  In any case, the present Xiangjiang is still dominated by the British. Once other British forces become hostile to him, then he may become the second Huo Daheng.

   No, it should be said that he can't even be the second Daheng Huo.

   Daheng Huo has the backing of the mainland, even though he is suppressed by the British, his life is still prosperous.

  He is different, he doesn't have such a strong backer, compared with the inland, the Li family that supports him now, once he becomes the target of public criticism, then he can guarantee that Boss Li will never come forward to support him.

As one of the four old big families, the Ricci family had the support of the British in its rise. Unless it was in the 1980s, Xiangjiang's return was a certainty, otherwise the Ricci family would never offend the British for Chen Yi. .

  With the development of the times, new Chinese-funded forces continue to rise, and established families like the Lee family have begun to decline. No family would put itself in crisis for an outsider.

  The Li family will not, and neither will the other families in Xiangjiang.

  As for the relationship between him and Li Wenhui, that personal relationship is nothing compared to the interests of the family.

  In the office, Chen Yi's uncertain face suddenly revealed a look of cruelty, "Made, you dare to drag the emperor off the horse..."

   "I don't believe it anymore, I can't even hold on for a few years."

  A crazy decision, finalized in Chen Yi's mind.

  Opportunity is rare and should not be missed.

  If he gives up the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity this time, then it will not be a matter of money when he competes for Wharf or Golden Gate in a few years.

If the history remains unchanged, a few years later, just a Wharf warehouse will attract the two Chinese bigwigs, Li Chaoren and Chartered Ship King, into the game. one, or even more.

In contrast, if he makes a move now, the only enemy he faces is the Jardine family. Once he fires the first shot to counterattack the British capital, then Chinese capital forces such as Chartered Ship King and Li Chaoren, who may become competitors, will would be his natural ally.

  Although in real life, there are many people who fall into the wrong place, but in the face of some big right and wrong, ordinary people dare not risk the big bad things of the world.

Wharf and Golden Gate Construction are the most important steps for him to enter Xiangjiang real estate. As long as he wins the two companies and transforms Wharf into a future shopping center, he will be able to live a life of lying down and collecting money even if he does not work in the future. .

   In his previous life, Li Chaoren said very well, a successful businessman will always have a business that will make money even if the sky falls.

  As a descendant, Chen Yi naturally knows that in the next few decades, Xiangjiang Real Estate will be a business that will make money even if the sky falls.

  For Chen Yi, he disdains to earn the hard-earned money of ordinary people, and he will not do things such as speculation in housing prices. However, he is still very interested in the Wanda model of the richest man in the future, which collects money from merchants on the ground.

   Coincidentally, Xiangjiang in the 1970s and 1980s was very suitable for the Wanda model to survive. Taking advantage of this opportunity to get involved in the real estate industry in one fell swoop will be of great benefit to his career development.

  The prerequisite for building the Wanda model requires him to win the land of Wharf and the experienced construction company Golden Gate Construction.

  Compared with his own career development, offending Jardine Matheson seems insignificant. At most, he will keep a low profile in the next few years.

  Originally, his earliest plan was to keep a low profile for a few years after buying the bottom, and then come out after the limelight passed and the inland reform and opening up.

   In this way, there seems to be no difference between actively hiding and passively hiding, but I don’t know if HSBC will let him buy shares after he offended Jardine...
