Chapter 1388 1994!

In Yang Ming's view, the importance of the stock market lies in providing financing to help companies grow and develop. For example, many companies in Hong Kong have grown step by step through listing financing.

Li Jiacheng's Changgang Industrial Group is like that, and so are other Hong Kong listed companies.

In other words, listed companies can develop their companies through financing, and for investors, in addition to dividends, there is also the rise in stock market value.

However, I don't know when a group of so-called penny stocks began to appear in Hong Kong.

As investors, many people hate the fact that they don't have dividends, and they become shareholders after speculation. In fact, these are junk stocks, and basically those companies deceive investors to raise funds through listing.

Now there are a large number of companies in China that want to be listed in Hong Kong.

That is, the so-called red chip stocks.

Yang Ming thinks that for companies with potential, he certainly hopes to be listed in Hong Kong, which can also bring a lot of benefits to Hong Kong investors.

However, if they just want to come to Hong Kong to deceive investors, Yang Ming thinks it's better to forget it.

Yang Ming talked with Xu Qingsheng for a long time.

He felt that for the health of Hong Kong securities companies, it was not only necessary to learn the stock market of the United States, but also to regularly remove junk stocks, stabilize the Hong Kong stock market, and gradually introduce companies with global potential.

Like in history, many domestic Internet companies with great potential went to the United States to go public, which brought a lot of benefits to investors in the United States.

Yang Ming felt that if these companies did not want to go public in China, they could go public in Hong Kong, and he was very supportive.

Xu Qingsheng left.

Yang Ming was still in the study.

. . .

Time flew to December 24, 1993.

Today is Friday.

It is also Christmas Eve.

Yang Ming did not go back to the Empire Group Building to work, because today the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa will hold a grand Christmas Eve banquet, mainly to entertain the white executives of the Empire Group and white upper-class people such as the Governor of Hong Kong.

Last year, Yang Ming had already proposed the construction of the Lingdingyang Bridge.

At the beginning of the year, Governor Zhong Yijie personally visited the opposite Haojiang, Zhucheng, Guangdong Province, Pengcheng and other places, and went to Yanjing to meet Mr. Jiang and others.

Regarding Yang Ming's proposal to build the Lingdingyang Bridge, the country is very supportive.

In other words, the Lingdingyang Bridge will definitely be built, and it will be built as soon as possible.

According to current technology, it is not impossible to build such a bridge.

Now it involves Xiangjiang, Haojiang, Zhucheng, Pengcheng, Empire Group, Guangdong Province, and the country, that is, seven parties jointly contribute funds to the construction.

According to the current situation, the construction of this Lingdingyang Bridge is about 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is about six or seven times the construction of the Humen Bridge, and it is also one-sixth of that bridge in history.

Of course, 20 billion Hong Kong dollars is still very valuable now.

The specific total investment, and according to different shares, among them, Empire Group holds 20% of the shares, that is, an investment of 4 billion Hong Kong dollars, Xiangjiang 5% of the shares, that is, 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, Haojiang 5%, an investment of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, Zhucheng 5%, an investment of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, Pengcheng 5%, an investment of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the rest is from Guangdong Province and the country, accounting for 60%, but this 60%, accounting for 12 billion Hong Kong dollars, also needs to be financed from Xiangjiang.

In other words, borrow money from Xiangjiang.

Now these have basically been negotiated.

This time, Yang Ming and Zhong Yijie discussed this matter in the study. The Empire Group invested 4 billion Hong Kong dollars, which seems to be a lot, but Xiangjiang and Haojiang did not invest much, and it did not affect tax revenue.

However, if the Lingdingyang Bridge is opened at that time, it can be like the Humen Bridge, which can be regarded as a golden channel.

Yang Ming thinks that this needs to be changed.

It is no longer like the bridge in history. Although it was opened, it did not connect Pengcheng, and lost a lot of passenger flow.

If Xiangjiang, Pengcheng, Zhucheng, and Haojiang are connected, it is actually equivalent to connecting both sides of the Pearl River Estuary, which will bring a large number of passengers.

However, cars in Xiangjiang are right-hand drive, while cars in China are left-hand drive, so it is also necessary to refer to the different driving methods on both sides.

However, in Yang Ming's view, these are not problems.

The most critical issue is the bridge construction technology.

Domestic infrastructure is developing rapidly now, and a lot of infrastructure technology has been accumulated, but compared with the history of the next thirty or forty years, it is still far behind.

Therefore, for the construction of the Lingdingyang Bridge this time, everyone unanimously decided to hire bridge designers from all over the world, including the company that built the bridge.

Of course, if there is no problem with the domestic company, it is also possible.

Like the Humen Bridge built by Yang Ming in the past, it was jointly built by domestic workers, engineers from Xiangjiang, and overseas engineers.

Although the construction of the Lingdingyang Bridge is more difficult, Yang Ming believes that the technology of domestic workers and overseas engineers should not be bad.

"We will try to complete it within five years."

It is now the end of 1993, and it will be 1994 in the blink of an eye.

Five years later, it will be 1999.

Everything will be different by then.

However, if the Lingdingyang Bridge can be completed by then, and the Hong Kong River and the Macao River can be connected more quickly, it will be more beneficial to promote the development of the Greater Bay Area.

In Yang Ming's view, the foundation of the Greater Bay Area is transportation.

If there is no change in transportation, it will be difficult to carry out division of labor and cooperation.

Finished talking with Zhong Yijie.

Zhong Yijie said: "Sir Yang, the rat exterminator you invited from China not long ago is really powerful. He also killed many rats in the Governor's Mansion."

Are there rats in the Governor's Palace of Hong Kong?

Of course there is.

And, quite a few.

It was just handed over to the rat extermination company before, but this time it was handed over to the rat exterminator king Qiu Mantun, and a batch of rats were really exterminated.

Zhong Yijie felt much more comfortable without those disgusting rats.

"Hasn't he gone back yet?"

During this period, Qiu Mantun made a lot of money in Xiangjiang and Haojiang. Yang Ming rarely heard from him and thought he had returned to his hometown.

Unexpectedly, I was still in Xiangjiang.

"He is a talented person. We need it in Xiangjiang, and we also need it in London. I also suggested that he go to London to eliminate rats. But there are more environmental protection organizations there, which may be a bit troublesome."

There are really many environmental protection organizations in Europe.

Like before, the land reclamation carried out by Yang Ming and the Imperial Group still aroused protests from some environmental groups. However, in the end, due to Yang Ming's influence and the intervention of the Governor's Office and London, the matter was settled.

Although rats are disgusting, some people in Europe really think that exterminating rats in large numbers will have a great impact on the environment. They feel that if other animals cannot catch rats to eat, such as snakes, then they will Systems affecting the biosphere.

Therefore, Qiu Mantun also knows the situation in Europe. Of course he will not go there, but he still wants to make more money and then return to China for development.

That night.

Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa held a grand Christmas Eve banquet.

The protagonist is Yang Ming, and the heroines are Diana, Sarah, Keira, Alina and others. These people all spend Christmas Eve and Christmas.

Now Keira has long served as the general manager of Xiangjiang Mandatory Provident Fund Investment Fund, and her influence is also very great.

One year after Keira took office, the annual return of Xiangjiang Mandatory Provident Fund Investment Fund is around 8%-10%, which is still very high, more than twice as high as before.

"Cheers!"

Yang Ming picked up the red wine and drank with the distinguished guests sitting there.

Look at these white elites in front of you.

Yang Ming thought that many of these white elites in history, those born in 1997, basically went to London or other countries in Europe and the United States.

In other words, Merliss has been staying in Xiangjiang because of Li Jiacheng's relationship.

However, now because of Yang Ming, these people should all stay in Xiangjiang.

There is no shortage of white people in Xiangjiang now. On the contrary, there are many more white people than in history.

Including a large number of talents and their families that Yang Ming poached from the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, as well as wealthy white people who immigrated from South Philippines and other places.

There are still a lot of white people in Xiangjiang now, at least millions of them.

Christmas Eve dinner ended.

Yang Ming personally escorted Zhong Yijie and his wife to the car and watched them leave in the car.

Now here in the villa, there are also Meris and others.

People like Mailisi, Ma Shimin, and Wei Li have been following Yang Ming for a long time.

That is to say, Li Caixin is still in Far East City.

"This is your reward."

In addition to luxury homes and cars, there are also shares in some listed companies.

All calculated, it is over hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

They are originally a group of professional managers with the highest income in Xiangjiang and even in the world. With the company's benefits and Yang Ming's rewards, it is even more.

After Meris and others got it, they all said, "Thank you, boss."

"As I said back then, if you follow me, you will enjoy this wealth together."

I don’t know when it started. Money is just a number to Yang Ming.

Moreover, there will be more and more in the future.

He is also very generous to the people around him.

At this point, Mai Lisi and others were very impressed, and they believed that they had not made the mistake of following the boss Sir Yang back then.

After they leave.

Diana, Sarah is still here.

Now Diana is 32 years old, becoming more mature, beautiful and temperamental. Usually Diana is mainly engaged in charity work.

Sarah is older, but she is thirty-four or five years old. Unlike Diana, Sarah is very low-key and rarely appears in public, so many people in Xiangjiang have heard of these two. Sisters, however, basically see Diana mainly.

Yang Ming now has two sons with Diana and a daughter with Sarah.

The two sisters did not talk about whether they wanted to have children. For Sarah, the birth of a boy or girl was the same. She was not as patriarchal as her father, Earl Spencer, nor was she as influenced by her father as Diana.

"Sir, after Christmas, I want to go back to London."

Sarah said.

In fact, she wanted to return to country Y to meet her parents.

Last year, when Yang Ming went to London, the two sisters passed by Xiangjiang later, stayed for a while and then returned to Xiangjiang.

Now the two sisters feel that their parents are getting old, so they want to go back and visit them again.

"Can."

They wanted to return to London, but Yang Ming did not stop them.

However, for the safety of the two women, London must be notified in advance.

Talk about it.

After tonight, tomorrow will be Christmas, which is also the most important holiday in the West.

Sarah and Diana did not stay here tonight, but went back to their villa on the mountainside.

Moreover, it has been arranged over there.

After the two women returned.

Yang Ming returned to the study.

Just two days after Christmas.

December 28, 1993.

November 16 of the lunar calendar.

Yang Jirong suddenly received bad news from his hometown. His uncle, Yang Shuhai, Yang Ming's great uncle, was found dead in his room by his grandson this morning.

Yang Shuhai is gone.

In 1992, Yang Ming and the old man went back to his hometown. When Yang Ming saw Yang Shuhai, he felt that he had aged a lot.

Unexpectedly, he lived for another year and died.

If it was in history, Yang Ming didn't know what the fate of Yang Shuhai would be.

Yang Jirong didn't even have breakfast when he heard that his uncle Yang Shuhai was gone.

Yang Jirong talked to Yang Ming and said that he wanted to go back to his hometown to see his uncle.

"Dad, you want to go back to deal with your uncle's affairs, I agree, but you have to keep a low profile."

Considering various circumstances.

Yang Ming didn't go back.

Yang Jirong also understood.

That morning, he, Li Yufang, and some bodyguards quietly left the Repulse Bay Hillside Villa by car, and then took a car back to his hometown, Yangjia Village, Longchuan.

Yang Ming sighed.

However, birth, aging, illness, and death are the laws of life.

He is afraid that he will not be able to avoid them in this life.

That afternoon.

Yang Ming received a call from his mother Li Yufang, saying that he had returned to his hometown.

Now they and the Yangjia Village clansmen are handling Yang Shuhai's funeral in a low-key manner. Although cremation has long been required in China, many traditional places still prefer burial.

Now Yang Shuhai's funeral is also the same, and he was quietly buried. In fact, he was buried not far from the back mountain.

Yang Jirong and his wife quietly handled Yang Shuhai's funeral in a low-key manner. They did not stay in Yangjia Village for a long time and returned to Hong Kong.

In the past, the two couples wanted to return to their hometown for the New Year because of Yang Shuhai.

However, now that Yang Shuhai is gone, other villagers in Yangjia Village are still very enthusiastic, but they always feel that something is missing. I am afraid that they will not go back in these years.

December 31, 1993.

That was the day when Yang Jirong and his wife came back from their hometown after handling Yang Shuhai's funeral. Yang Ming went to get off work as usual and saw them coming back.

"Daddy, Mommy, why are you back so soon? Why don't you stay in your hometown for a few more days?"

Yang Jirong shook his head and said, "Since your uncle passed away, we are afraid that we will go back less often in the future."

The couple had dreamed of Yang Shuhai in the villa in their hometown for the past two nights, so the couple decided to return to Hong Kong as soon as possible.

Yang Ming recalled that he had hurried back to his hometown with the old man last year. He still remembers the look of his uncle at that time, but it is obvious that his uncle has only enjoyed happiness from the 1980s to now, which is more than ten years.

That night.

Yang Ming finished dinner.

Back upstairs.

Maybe because of the news of his uncle's death, Yang Ming's mood has not been very good these days.

However, Yang Ming knows that after tonight, the new year is coming again.

Maybe people are like that.

The old people grow old and the new people come.

Generation after generation.

At eleven o'clock that night, Yang Ming was still in the study.

However, tonight, Zhong Chuhong and Guan Jiahui were here with Yang Ming, and the two women found that Yang Ming was in a bad mood.

Time passed by bit by bit.

When the wall clock rang twelve times.

Yang Ming knew that the new year had arrived. (End of this chapter)
