Hong Kong Island Old Events

Chapter 237 Famous in Xiangjiang

Xuansha was hungover all night. When he arrived at HSBC Bank, he was in a daze. When he saw Qi Yaolin standing inside, he quickly stepped forward to shake hands: "Sir!"

"Xuan sir."

Qi Yaolin stood in front of his desk and spoke loudly: "HSBC Bank has decided to merge Swire Properties into Lixin Real Estate. What do you think?"

"no comment!"

Xuansha looked happy and said eagerly: "Thank you, sir!"

"Swire will definitely develop actively and take good care of Lixin's industry."

Qi Yaolin looked angry and reiterated: "I want to merge Taikoo into Lixin!"

Xuansha came back to his senses and said in surprise: "Ah? Pray sir!"

He immediately panicked.

Although the Legislative Yuan has officially passed the Anti-Corruption Act, which has made it difficult for the two major foreign banks to take action against Lixin Real Estate, it is two different things from acquiring Swire Properties. HSBC is obviously the second largest shareholder of Swire Properties and has invested tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, so what? Maybe sit back and watch the money go down the drain?

Once Swire Properties is absorbed by Lixin Real Estate, both Xuansha and Qi Yaolin will be reprimanded by the board of directors of the foreign firm, and neither one of them will be able to escape!

Xuansha actually asked: "Sir, have you lost your head?"

Qi Yaolin laughed angrily and turned around: "Let Mr. Huo talk to you."

At this time, Huo Guantai, who had been sitting in the corner drinking coffee, stood up, came into Xuansha's sight, and slowly walked closer: "Sorry, Sir Xuan, from now on I will be responsible for the development of Taikoo Real Estate."

"I will develop it for you."

Xuansha looked at Huo Guantai, suddenly sober, and glared at him: "Boss Huo, Lixin seems not qualified to acquire Swire Properties, right?"

"Sir, what conditions did Mr. Huo offer?"

"Swire can join forces with Lixin, but it is impossible to acquire Swire!" So far, Swire Taipan has not understood why HSBC changed its position.

How can river sand, a cheap and common thing, affect two major foreign companies and the entire Hong Kong business community? Without it, sand is too important for real estate, and Hong Kong Island is an island city surrounded by sea and does not produce river sand at all.

There is a lot of sand in Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States, but why not go to Africa to fish for sand? Because the higher the cost of river sand, the higher the floor price, to a point where real estate developers no longer need to develop it.

The money I earned was not enough to buy sand, so I was so embarrassed! Other industries dare not talk about it. Without the river sand supplied from the mainland, Hong Kong real estate will be in a mess, and the construction and infrastructure will be in a mess. High-rise buildings will be luxury goods without even infrastructure. It will be even more difficult for other industries to develop.

Huo Guantai's acquisition of the mainland's river sand franchise means two things. One is to become a businessman crowned by mainland bosses, and the other is that he has the resources that Hong Kong Island urgently needs. Adding the two together, he will have a leading position among Chinese capital in Hong Kong Island. An important position.

Regardless of whether it is directed at the former or the latter, everyone needs to pay three points of respect.

The unequal affiliation between him and foreign companies will also become equal cooperation, and no one can bully him!

HSBC is not only afraid of river sand, but also what is behind the franchise. Therefore, even if HSBC breaks up with Lixin, it still dares not to kill Lixin.

Beating a dog also depends on the owner.

As for domestic resources and talents, although it has never been the best in the world, it is definitely suppressed by the mainland's radiation to the surrounding areas. Therefore, whenever the mainland develops, there will definitely be a period of rapid growth.

"Sir Xuan, I'll give you five minutes to go to the bathroom and wash your face, get to know the world again, and get to know me." Huo Guantai was polite, straightened his collar, and said to him: "Think about it carefully before telling me whether it's okay or not."

"FUCK!" Xuansha was very angry at Huo Guantai's confident look. In his opinion, it was sarcasm. After scolding, he rushed forward and raised his hand to push Huo Guantai to the ground.

Huo Guantai turned slightly to avoid Xuansha's surprise attack, and hit his calf with a diagonal kick.

Xuansha was caught off guard, lost his balance on his right calf, and fell to the ground in his suit.

"Bah bang bang."

"Wonderful!" At this time, He Dingxian was wearing a suit, applauding with both hands, walked into the conference room, and shouted loudly: "What a bastard!"

"He Sheng."

Huo Guantai withdrew the stern look in his eyes, looked at the young man at the door, and smiled.

Xuansha was holding on to the floor and was about to get up, but He Dingxian rushed over and kicked him in the chest several times. While kicking, he cursed: "You bastard, you dare to steal our food? We will make you have no food to eat!"

"Hold!"

"I really want to kill you!"

He Dingxian kicked people mercilessly, and the sound of leather soles hitting bones echoed throughout the office with every kick.

Xuansha also wailed.

After He Dingxian kicked the person, he still wasn't relieved. He turned towards the HSBC executive, grinned, and put his arm around the executive's shoulders: "Qi, executive, do you think the bad guy on the ground looks like he's dead?"

"How about we throw him downstairs together and make sure you're fine!"

Qi Yaolin unexpectedly followed He Dingxian step by step to Xuansha. Listening to He Dingxian's words, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no."

He and Xuansha were both senior managers of a foreign trade company. Just because they lost a business war didn't mean they could be ruthless.

He Dingxian didn't bother, let go of his shoulders, and said: "Then let's step on him together!"

"Fuck you!"

He Dingxian kicked Xuansha directly on the head. Xuansha's head hit the ground. Qi Yaolin took a deep breath. Seeing how useless Taikoo Taipan was, he actually stepped forward and stepped on it twice. Huo Guantai smiled and stepped forward to join in the crowd. .

Any one of the three who stepped on Xuansha alone would suffer violent retaliation from Taikoo, but the three of them stepping together could keep Taikoo in check.

Half an hour later.

Xuansha was already lying in the hospital and summoned the subordinates of the foreign bank to investigate the market. This revenge must be avenged!

A week later, Huo Guantai used the river sand franchise to successfully acquire 14% of Swire Properties' shares. When the shareholders heard that Lixin had obtained the river sand franchise, they knew that Swire Properties had no chance, and they all paid the purchase price. warehouse.

After Lixin Real Estate obtained 14% of the shares, it announced in the newspaper that it would launch an acquisition. The Hong Kong business community was in an uproar for a while. No one expected that a Chinese-owned real estate company would dare to acquire a subsidiary of a foreign company.

Although the total scale of this acquisition war did not reach the scale of the "Yangtze River to Whampoa" in history, it was the first Chinese-owned acquisition of a foreign bank in more than 20 years ago, and Huo Guantai became the first Chinese to publish in the newspaper that he wanted to join a foreign bank. boss.

Lixin Real Estate became famous in Hong Kong for a while, and Huo Guantai won the reputation of being a fierce man. All businessmen in Hong Kong were paying attention to the progress of the acquisition war. They thought that Huo Guantai was going to fight a vigorous war. Unexpectedly, the day after it was published in the newspaper, HSBC and Bank of China gave full support. Entrust Lixin Real Estate to manage 34% of its equity.

Huo Guantai held 51% of the equity and held a board of directors meeting in Swire. Through mergers and acquisitions, Swire Properties was sold to Lixin Real Estate at a price lower than the market price.

Lixin has become the most well-known real estate company with the highest asset value in Hong Kong.

Xuansha already knew that Huo Guantai held the river sand franchise and became the key to reversing the situation, but so what if he knew? This is a waste of resources! Since river sand cannot be dug out of Hong Kong Island, even HSBC has to accept its fate. Is there anything Swire can do?

Transporting sand from the UK? funny! It can be said that whoever Mr. Huo wants to deal with will no longer be able to engage in real estate. Of course, Mr. Fok has to sell sand if he wants to make money. It is impossible to offend all real estate developers on Hong Kong Island, but if there are one or two troublemakers, especially foreign banks, the business community is still happy to see the results.

It is useless for the foreign banks to be unhappy, because Chinese capital can completely support the real estate business. If the foreign banks do not bow to Mr. Huo, it will be equivalent to giving up the real estate industry completely. In less than twenty years, Chinese capital will take advantage of the real estate industry to achieve overtaking and take over in Hong Kong Island!

At the same time, the Commissioner of Police approved the document on the restructuring of the Anti-Corruption Office. The Anti-Corruption Office was upgraded to a second-level department, with jurisdiction over the Commercial Crime Investigation Division and the Internal Investigation Division. The Anti-Corruption Office of each police station was filled to 20 people, a group of ten, headed by a senior inspector.

In addition to the head of the Anti-Corruption Office, Tai Kwun also has two positions: Superintendent of Commercial Crime Investigation Bureau and Superintendent of Internal Investigation Bureau.

Internal investigations involving the Constitutional Committee level need to be reported to the Chief of Police, who is specifically responsible for Tai Kwun. Cases involving foreign-funded banks must be reported to the Commercial Crime Investigation Division of Tai Kwun.

"The director is indeed not a fool. While expanding the power of the anti-corruption office, he mainly concentrated the power in Tai Kwun. In fact, he still holds it in his hands." After reading the issued documents, He Dingxian was not surprised. The person in charge, In everything, power must be considered first. Sir Mai didn't do anything at all, but it would look strange.

Of course this restriction has no effect on him.

He is already the fee chief of the anti-corruption office. In the era of money empires, whoever can collect fees will have greater power.

His current position is Wan Chai Police Station, leader of the Commercial Crime Investigation Team, but in fact, the entire Wan Chai Anti-Corruption Office listens to his words, and can call Hao Sir at any time to mobilize the entire Anti-Corruption Office.

"Da da da."

Outside the office door.

There was a knock on the door.

"Sir."

William shouted.

He Dingxian put down the documents and shouted loudly: "Please come in."

William pushed open the door and looked at the majestic subordinates sitting on the chairs. He raised his hands and gave a simple salute.

"Hao Sir has accepted your suggestion and has recruited a group of Chinese police officers as additional personnel in the Anti-Corruption Office."

"Some of them are recruited from the military uniform groups and criminal groups of each district, and a small number are current graduates of training schools."

He Dingxian nodded and asked: "How many people are there in total?"

"Twenty-seven people."

The number is small, but it is a beginning for the Chinese police to enter a new department...

"Give me a list of these people."

Sir He said.

William solemnly agreed: "Yes, sir!"

night.

He Dingxian stood at home, brought a fruit plate to the table, handed it to Jiang Tiansheng and said with a smile: "Tsang Tiansheng, how is Xiao Jiang's overseas arms business going?"

Jiang Tiansheng ate the fruit and hurriedly said: "Business is good. I talked with a few arms dealers and took advantage of the price advantage and packaged shipping and delivery for wholesale, which saved the brothers from bleeding."

"That's a good idea."

He Dingxian sat next to the sofa with an appreciative tone.
