Chapter 547 Please Help Me!
Li Chaoren became the richest man in Hong Kong, and even the richest Chinese in the world. Although it was a counterattack all the way like good luck, it was not static.
Just like Bill Gates is often surpassed by Buffett, Li Chaoren has not always been in the country.
For example, the three Guo family brothers of Sun Hung Kai surpassed him.
Li Zhaoji of Henderson Albert also surpassed him.
However, because Li Chaoren's globalization strategy, especially the mainland China strategy, is more radical than the other big families, and it happened to be a good time, he only started in 1998 and has been ranked as the richest man in Xiangjiang for 19 consecutive years.
But looking back, since Bao Yugang passed away, the Bao family has never been ranked among the top three, and they have not even had a chance to counterattack Li Chaoren. Speaking of it, it is still much weaker.
Not only his own abilities, but also his vision, heart, luck, etc., Wu Guangzhen can't compare with Li Chaoren.
Otherwise, according to the monstrous wealth that Bao Yugang left him, as well as the far-reaching relationship between the political and business circles, he should be among the top three richest people in Xiangjiang.
In terms of wealth, two of the six major foreign firms in Xiangjiang, Wheelock and Wharf, are both under the control of the Bao family, while Li Chaoren only has one Hutchison Whampoa in his hands.
In terms of personal connections, when Bao Yugang had a conversation with the bigwigs in the mainland, Li Chaoren, a middle-level businessman, was still thinking about whether he should immigrate to the UK to develop.
The same goes for the local relationship in Hong Kong. When Bao Yugang was a director of HSBC, Li Chaoren's Cheung Kong Industrial was not listed, and the relationship with Shen Bi was even worse than Bao Yugang.
The 1997 Xiangjiang Governor General Election was a very direct watershed.
Wu Guangzhen lost to Dong Jianhua supported by Mr. Huo and Li Chaoren without any suspense.
Since then, the Bao family has basically been reduced to a second-rate family, and the four Xiangjiang families have become the mainstream of society.
From the detailed analysis and understanding of these aspects, you will find that the real winners have their own hard work, but the losers must have their own very fatal flaws.
Yin Jun sighed in his heart when he heard Wu Guangzhen's words.
"Xiangjiang's economy is under our control"?
Even vaguely saying that the future of Xiangjiang is under our control is better than this sentence.
How unconfident does this seem to you?
Even if you don't have the spirit of Mr. Huo who is sure that Xiangjiang will return from the beginning to the end, you can still go to the mainland like your father-in-law, like Li Chaoren, to understand both sides, and then talk about it after a lot of thinking.
Or simply hedge your bets.
It is a pity that until the passing of the Chartered Ship King, Wu Guangzhen will basically not be seen on many trips to the mainland in the future.
That is to say, in the 1990s, Xiangjiang's return was set, and when Wu Guangzhen wanted to run for the post of governor, he had only been active for a few years.
After failing, he began to keep a low profile again.
Of course, the Bao consortium did not decline much, they just developed slower than others.
By 2016, Wu Guangzhen's family had a property of 17 billion US dollars, ranking seventh in Xiangjiang, which proves that its strength still exists.
From this point of view, Wu Guangzhen, as a conservative person, must be considered excellent, but if you think about his great achievements, I am afraid it will not be so easy.
He is actually the same as Li Dachao.
Li Dachao has been quietly developing under his father's wing for half his life, and has presided over a lot of pioneering work for Changshi Group, but those are basically strategies set by his father, and he is just implementing them.
It is conceivable that after the fall of Li Chaoren, Li Dachao would definitely not be prodigal. This inheritance, at least in the generation of Li Dachao's son, could change.
By the way, similar to them, there is also Zheng Yutong's eldest son, Zheng Daguan, who is also an honest man.
Although they will not be regarded by Yin Jun, they are much stronger than the second generations of the Huo family and the Guo family.
Honest and honest people may not be able to open up territories, and even the business will suffer certain losses, but under normal circumstances, they will maintain the healthy continuation of the family.
Those "capable people" who think they are smart but can't tolerate brothers and sisters will only make the whole family fall apart, and relatives will become enemies.
Such people, no matter how capable they are, Yin Jun can't cooperate with them.
Can you be sure that one day his knife will not be pointed at you for a person who can be so cruel to his closest relatives?
...
Thoughts back.
Over there, Wu Guangzhen, who met Yin Jun for the first time, was speaking sincerely, "Mr. Yin, although we met for the first time, I know you are a well-behaved and sensible person. The news this morning, Have you read it?"
"I knew it yesterday." Yin Jun smiled. Seeing Wu Guangzhen's surprised eyes, he reminded, ""Kirin Daily" is my property."
"oh!"
It was only then that Wu Guangzhen remembered that the boy sitting in front of him was not only the king of comics, but also a newspaper tycoon, the owner of the largest newspaper in Hong Kong, "Kirin Daily".
How could it be possible to keep him from knowing about the advertisement of Jardine Matheson that was published in the "Kirin Daily" this morning?
Bao Yugang asked Wu Guangzhen to find Yin Jun, and then called him immediately.
Wu Guangzhen didn't know what exactly Bao Yugang was looking for with Yin Jun, but he knew that it must be related to Wharf's stock acquisition.
Wu Guangzhen felt that this matter was too important, and the future of the Bao family was also related to several years of hard work, so it was necessary for him to review Yin Jun for his father-in-law.
In case this young man has no hair on his mouth and can't do things well, it will delay the important affairs of the Bao family instead.
So he continued, "I don't know what Mr. Yin thinks about the dispute in Wharf?"
Yin Jun is also wondering here.
I thought to myself that you, Wu Guangzhen, are not in charge of the Bao family now. Could it be that you can just discuss such a big matter with me? The charter king doesn't show up?
Anyway, the stocks of Wharf are all your dreams, aren't they?
So it's too disrespectful to the shares in my hand, right? It's too impolite, isn't it?
But the young man didn't know, Wu Guangzhen didn't even know what Bao Yugang wanted to talk about.
Of course, Yin Jun will not be dissatisfied because of this.
He said in a harmonious voice, "Business struggles depend on one's ability. But personally, I naturally hope that the charter king can use my prestige as a Chinese businessman to defeat Jardine Matheson."
Yin Jun said this resolutely, without the slightest hesitation.
Seeing this, Wu Guangzhen nodded and said, "Mr. Yin, our Bao family is a famous family in Xiangjiang. As long as you can help our Bao family, we will know how to treat our friends in the future!"
Then he said something serious to Yin Jun, "My father-in-law called me just now and asked me to invite Mr. Yin out. He has something important to talk to you about. Can I make a call here, please?" Give it to my father-in-law, let you talk about it?"
Yin Jun glanced at him without a trace.
I thought to myself that I thought you were the one who negotiated, but I didn't expect that you were the messenger. Fortunately, I don't care about the difference in status, otherwise I would have fallen out without waiting for the charter king to call.
Think about it too.
If the Chartered Ship King is such a frivolous person, how could he have achieved what he is today?
You must know that after so many years of hard work, the Chartered Ship King, in the shipping-related industries all over the world, his name means reputation and money.
Relying on his name, he can get hundreds of millions of bank loans. This is the achievement of the charter king for decades.
How could such a person despise Yin Jun because of his young age, and not come over to negotiate with Yin Jun in person?
"Okay, the phone is over there!"
Yin Jun remained calm and pointed to the phone next to him.
"Thanks!"
Wu Guangzhen walked over and made a call to Frankfurt.
After saying a few words, Wu Guangzhen turned his head, "Mr. Yin..."
Yin Jun nodded and answered the phone, "Hello, is this Mr. Bao? I'm Yin Jun."
"Hehe, Yin Sheng, hello!" Bao Yugang smiled heartily, with no anxiety in his voice, "I'm very sorry, I'm in Germany now, I can only call you to talk about things, otherwise I will come to your door I came to visit you to discuss things."
"It's okay, you are a senior in the business world, if you have anything to do, please don't be polite." Yin Jun said.
"Time is a bit tight, I'm going to the airport soon, and I won't be able to return to Xiangjiang in about twelve hours." Bao Yugang said, "So before I come back, I have something to confirm with you, Mr. Yin."
"Please say."
"I got a piece of news, Mr. Yin, you have a lot of shares in Wharf, right?" Bao Yugang said, "Please don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to offend you. But Mr. Yin, you also know that this matter It is very important to me, and I hope Mr. Yin can be honest with each other."
"Well, your news is correct." Yin Jun said in a harmonious voice.
"So, how many are there?" Bao Yugang's voice was slightly tense.
"14 million shares."
"What!?" Bao Yugang exclaimed, his voice even stuttered, "I...I seem to have misheard, Mr. Yin, how much did you say?"
"I have 14 million shares in my hand, which is 14% of Wharf shares." Yin Jun smiled.
"Good! Haha! Good!!"
Bao Yugang's laughter was so loud that Yin Jun's ears were a little stunned.
"Mr. Yin, you are really my savior!" After laughing, Bao Yugang immediately made a decision, "I ask you not to sell this part of the stock to Jardine Matheson, please help me, and must leave it to Me! I, Bao Yugang, will definitely repay you!"
He said three "sures" in one breath, showing how urgent the ship king is.
Yin Jun smiled again, "Mr. Bao, I am willing to come out on invitation and answer your call. Don't you understand my decision?"
Bao Yugang was slightly surprised.
When he reacted to Yin Jun's words, he was immediately overjoyed: "Mr. Yin, you are so refreshing! Interesting! I like it! Good! Thank you!! You are waiting for my return! In terms of price, you must be satisfied!!"
"You're welcome." Yin Jun said, "Everyone is from Huaguo, there is no reason for me to help outsiders."
"Hehe, don't say anything else, Mr. Yin's friendship, I will remember it in my heart, and I will never forget it. I will return to Xiangjiang around 12 o'clock. If we don't delay Mr. Yin's rest, we can discuss it in detail at night. You can see it." Is it?" Bao Yugang said impatiently, even if he couldn't wait for tomorrow morning, he must conclude the deal with Yin Jun as soon as possible.
"good."
Yin Jun nodded in agreement.
Bao Yugang said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Yin, please hand over the phone to my son-in-law, I have something to tell him."
Yin Jun waved to Wu Guangzhen, and when he picked up the phone again, what he heard was very serious words from his father-in-law.
"Guang Zhen, no matter what method you use, within three hours, you must raise 500 million Hong Kong dollars in cash and deposit it in Yin Jun's account at the Hong Kong Commercial Bank. After depositing the money, leave. Don't tell anyone! Hurry up! !!"
