Chapter 1375 Announced to the Public!
January 25, 1993.
Monday.
The third day of the Chinese New Year.
At this time, it is still the peak tourist season in Hong Kong. Victoria Harbour, Lan Kwai Fong, Victoria Peak, Causeway Bay, etc. in Hong Kong are still the peak season for overseas and domestic tourism consumption.
Victoria Harbour will hold grand fireworks shows on New Year's Eve, the first day of the new year, the eighth day of the new year, and the Lantern Festival, attracting many tourists to watch.
Hong Kong's two major racecourses, Happy Valley and Sha Tin Racecourse, have horse racing during the day and night during the Spring Festival.
At this time.
The headquarters of the Bank of Hong Kong Building.
A personnel change was announced to the public.
Among them, it was announced that Miss Kayla would serve as the deputy general manager of the Bank of Hong Kong, and she would take over the management of the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund investment fund.
The announcement of this matter still attracted a lot of attention in Hong Kong.
Now the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Fund involves 300 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the funds in it mainly come from the pension insurance and pension insurance of Hong Kong citizens. This involves the pensions of millions of Hong Kong citizens after retirement. How can we not pay attention to it?
Before this, the investment of this Hong Kong MPF fund was in charge of another white person. Now it has been replaced by another white person, and it is obvious that there are some differences.
Because this white person is Kayla, who is nearly 40 years old. Before this, the other party was in charge of the investment fund of Huifeng Bank & Empire Group. Until the Empire Group acquired Huifeng Bank, this joint investment fund disappeared, and Kayla also disappeared from Huifeng Bank for a period of time.
That afternoon.
The main media newspapers in Hong Kong, including Oriental Daily, Sing Tao Daily, Ming Pao, Hong Kong Commercial Daily, etc., announced this news.
Originally, Huifeng Bank announced this news in the morning, and not many people knew about it.
Now that it has been published in major newspapers, it still attracts the attention of many people.
Deep Water Bay Mid-Levels Villa.
The Li family.
Li Jiacheng and Li Zeju, the father and son, returned to this villa after get off work and prepared to have dinner.
During this period, in addition to the great sensation caused by the opening of Northeast China, many people paid attention to it, hoping to gain wealth from it. Li Jiacheng and his son still focused on Hong Kong.
Among them, the Governor's Office announced last year that the Hong Kong Central Park would be expanded on the basis of Hong Kong's Kai Tak International Airport and become a world-class park with an area similar to that of New York's Central Park.
At the beginning, it attracted opposition from many real estate consortiums.
This was mainly because they believed that Hong Kong had little land and a large population. Now that Hong Kong had taken such a large piece of land as a central park, it was a waste for Hong Kong citizens to rest and play for free.
However, Li Jiacheng quickly guessed that although this was proposed by Zhong Yijie as the Governor again, he knew that it must have been Sir Yang who was behind it.
Hong Kong's Kai Tak International Airport was a piece of fat meat. Although many people were staring at it, in Li Jiacheng's view, Sir Yang was willing to give it up, and the biggest sacrifice was made by the Empire Group and Sir Yang.
If it were him, he would definitely not do that.
Now, the father and son like to read the evening paper before dinner.
"Dad, it's the news from Huifeng Bank." Li Zeju came to Li Jiacheng and said.
Li Jiacheng was already reading it.
In fact, it was after the retirement of Shen Yi, the head of Huifeng Bank, last year that Pu Weishi took over.
Unexpectedly, the person in charge of the investment of the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund has now been replaced by Miss Kayla.
Li Jiacheng knew about Kayla, who was the key person that Yang Ming used to contact Huifeng Bank and even Shen Yi.
At that time, Li Jiacheng and his wife thought that they lost to Yang Ming, but actually lost to Kayla.
It is conceivable that Kayla's ability is also very strong.
Now, Kayla, who has disappeared for a long time, has reappeared and returned to an important position in Huifeng Bank. In addition to serving as the deputy general manager of Huifeng Bank, he is also responsible for the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund.
Of course, the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund was proposed by the Hong Kong Governor's Office on the surface. In fact, he also knew that it was proposed by Sir Yang to the Governor's Office at the beginning, with the purpose of solving the worries of ordinary citizens in Hong Kong.
Including pension insurance and medical insurance.
In fact, there are many commercial insurances in Hong Kong, including pension insurance and medical insurance. Many Hong Kong financial groups are involved. In addition, there are also M-country capital and Japanese capital, which are all involved in these pension insurances and medical insurances. What Li Jiacheng did not expect was that many banks of Sir Yang had these insurance licenses, but the other party actually proposed to the Governor's Office to establish compulsory insurance, which is now the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund.
Of course, what makes Li Jiacheng feel amazing is that Sir Yang and the Empire Group did concentrate part of the funds after proposing to the Governor's Office to establish compulsory insurance.
From the initial several billion Hong Kong dollars of the Mandatory Provident Fund, it has developed into the current 300 billion Hong Kong dollars of the Mandatory Provident Fund.
Even if the annual return is about 4% as before, it will continue to grow gradually.
Now it is not only handed over to Huifeng Bank to manage this huge pension fund, but if it is handed over to Kaila to manage it, it is equivalent to handing it over to the Empire Group to manage it.
According to the investment income of the Empire Group, it may double every year.
For Li Jiacheng, Changgang Industrial Group also needs to purchase MPF according to his monthly salary, but this MPF is of no use to him, because with his current wealth, he does not need to worry about retirement like ordinary people.
However, it is different for most ordinary people.
Of course, according to Li Jiacheng's idea, in fact, the role of MPF now is equivalent to taking out part of your salary when you are young. When you retire and no longer need to work, you will have a stable income every month to protect yourself. Life.
At this point, Li Jiacheng feels very good.
However, the vast majority of such pension funds around the world invest in the form of funds, but investment involves risks.
What Li Jiacheng couldn't understand was why the Imperial Group and Sir Yang were involved in this kind of thing.
After all, according to the current perspective of the Empire Group, the 300 billion Hong Kong dollars is not a large sum of money. If the investment of Kaila or Huifeng Bank fails and the MPF investment fund shrinks, then there will be big trouble. When it comes to the pensions of millions of people, I am afraid that they will all find trouble with Yang Ming and the Imperial Group.
"Dad, these 300 billion Hong Kong dollars are really a lot of money. If we have this money and invest it according to the current development of Northeast China, buy some land and hoard it, and then develop it, we can make a lot of money. earn."
Land hoarding was Li Jiacheng's favorite investment method in Yang Ming's previous life. It can be said that he has hoarded a large amount of land in major cities in the country, whether in urban areas or suburbs. He does not need to develop it. After 20 or 30 years, The house price has soared more than ten times or even dozens of times. If you sell it again, you will have made a lot of money.
During this period, apart from paying a certain amount of interest, there was no risk at all for him.
Therefore, in history, Li Jiacheng made huge profits by hoarding land alone in China. Not only did he successfully transfer trillions of wealth to Country Y and overseas, but Li Jiacheng's investment method, which is equivalent to an asset-light investment, is much better than those in domestic real estate. The company makes too much money.
At the same time, those domestic real estate companies really wanted to build houses. However, they might make a lot of money in the early days. But in the later period, because the land auction price had risen a lot, they might actually make only a small amount of money. If funds appeared Insufficient liquidity, or a sharp decline in real estate, will cause these real estates to be seriously in debt.
Over the years, Li Zeju has been with Li Jiacheng, and he has learned more about minimizing risks as much as possible. Therefore, Li Jiacheng still invests in real estate, both in Hong Kong and in China. However, they will not be like those in China. Businessmen blindly acquire land, then start building real estate, and then continue to acquire land.
The other party will first enclose and hoard land at the lowest price, and then develop it when they feel it is suitable.
It can be said to be very stable.
Now, when Li Zeju saw the news, it was HK$300 billion in Mandatory Provident Fund funds. He felt that if he could invest it himself, and follow his father's investment methods, it might become a trillion dollars in a few years.
Li Jiacheng shook his head.
"This money is the future pension money of ordinary citizens in Xiangjiang and cannot be tampered with. Although I still don't know how the Imperial Group invested this money, but it is normally deposited in the bank and the interest is not high."
"Daddy, isn't that very risky?"
"For other people, it's certainly big, but it's different for the Imperial Group and Sir Yang. I've been studying Sir Yang for more than ten years, but I still can't understand what kind of person he is, but , every investment made by the other party has been very successful, and there has been no investment failure so far.”
Li Jiacheng really envied Yang Ming.
In addition to the acquisition of the four major foreign banks in Hong Kong, including Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, Wheelock, Jardine Matheson Land, etc., the acquisitions from those years have doubled by now.
Not to mention the Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company, Xiangjiang Water Pipe Company, Qingzhou Yingni, and even Huifeng Bank Zada Bank.
These are all high-quality assets.
The Empire Games invested by the Empire Group itself is like a money printing machine.
As for the two-dimensional company, he couldn't understand it at first, but later he gradually discovered that these were the best assets of the Imperial Group. In addition to the benefits brought by the core intellectual property rights, it was difficult for Li Jiacheng to imagine What else is more profitable than here.
As for the Empire Group's investment in technology companies, including semiconductor companies, Li Jiacheng doesn't know how to describe them. Nowadays, these companies, including overseas investment companies in Silicon Valley, are very valuable as long as they are listed.
Li Jiacheng feels that if the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Investment Fund that Keira is responsible for invests like Sir Yang did before, the annual income of the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund will really be doubled based on the current basis, which means that in the future, the citizens of Hong Kong will After retirement, the pension will also increase several times.
This is certainly good for the citizens of Xiangjiang.
However, Li Jiacheng couldn't understand why Sir Yang did these things.
"Daddy, doesn't that mean that the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Investment Fund not only has stable investment income, but also has income that has increased several times?"
"It's natural."
Li Jiacheng didn't talk anymore.
However, he already knew that the Imperial Group and Sir Yang had penetrated into all aspects of Xiangjiang in Xiangjiang.
Just like an invisible big hand controlling everything in Xiangjiang.
. . .
January 26, 1993.
The fourth day of the new year.
morning.
The Governor of Hong Kong, Zhong Yijie, and his wife, as well as the Chief Secretary of the Governor's Office of Hong Kong, Bai Teng, the Financial Secretary, Bi Liezhi and others, took a boat to the opposite Haojiang River.
At this time, Luo Che, the last governor in the history of Haojiang, and people from other departments of the Governor's Mansion were already waiting at the deep-water port terminal.
In addition to Luo Qie, there are four major Haojiang families.
Including Liang Botao of the Stanley Ho family.
The fifth son of the He family.
Ma family and Cui family, etc.
This time, the governor of Hong Kong suddenly came to visit, which surprised the Governor's Office of Macao.
However, this morning, they introduced the Governor of Hong Kong, Zhong Yijie and others at the deep-water port.
The deep-water port of Macao is now a deep-water port formed by the reclamation of Macao to the south. It has a deep draft and can accommodate large ships of 10,000 tons. It is completely different from the shallow-water docks of the Macao Peninsula before.
When Governor Zhong Yijie and others came.
This was the first time for Zhong Yijie and others to visit Macao on the opposite side.
This time they came here and found that Macao was developing rapidly.
When Macao Governor Luo Che and his wife welcomed the Governor of Hong Kong, Zhong Yijie and his wife, the two sides had a friendly talk for more than ten minutes at the deep-water port, and then both sides got on the car and left here.
Along the way, Zhong Yijie, Bai Teng, Bi Lizhi and others looked outside. They knew that the current Macao had expanded many times through land reclamation.
Moreover, many building materials for the reclamation of Macao came from Lantau Island.
They also knew that the Empire Group had invested a lot in Haojiang, and Sir Yang had a great influence in Haojiang.
"It seems that Sir Yang has invested a lot in Haojiang!" Bai Teng was also very surprised.
Before Bai Teng came to Hong Kong, he saw Sir Yang more in the news, but when he went deep into Hong Kong, he realized that it was really not simple. It can be said that Sir Yang and the Empire Group can be seen in many places, but some places are more vague.
And Haojiang has always given the outside world the impression that it has developed by gambling.
And now, they found that it is not the case.
Just as they just heard that the deep-water port can dock large ships of 100,000 tons or even larger, this is also the most surprising to Bai Teng and others.
And along the way, when they saw the steel companies and oil refineries here, they were even more surprised.
When they arrived at the Governor's Mansion in Haojiang.
Zhong Yijie and others got off the car, and the Governor of Haojiang, Luo Che, and the Governor of Hong Kong, Zhong Yijie, just gave a speech in front of the reporters.
Of course, Zhong Yijie came here to propose the construction of the Lingdingyang Bridge.
Last night, Roche already knew about it, and knew that it was proposed by Sir Yang, the chairman of the Empire Group.
The construction of the Lingdingyang Bridge plays a very important role in the development of Hong Kong, Haojiang, and even Zhucheng and Pengcheng. In addition, it was proposed by Sir Yang, the chairman of the Empire Group, so Roche attached more importance to it.
Last night, Roche discussed with the Chief Secretary and others and felt that it was very feasible.
After all, this will also promote the development of Haojiang.
Moreover, Haojiang has long been controlled by the four major families of Haojiang and the Empire Group. Now the four major families of Haojiang and the Empire Group have a close relationship. It is useless for him to oppose it, but it will only make the four major families and Sir Yang unhappy.
Since Sir Yang now hopes that the official will propose it, Roche will have no problem.
