Chapter 345: Push 4 People Equally

That night, Brother Ji and Boss Guo Taiguo sat together, and Brother Ji brought his whole family to visit the Guo family.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here to apologize today!" Brother Ji said politely when we met.

"Brother Ji is joking, please come in." Guo Tai said quickly.

After sitting down, the two started chatting, with family members from both families accompanying them.

"Brother Ji, the loss is not big this time, right?" Mrs. Guo said.

"Fortunately, we only lost more than 10 billion." Brother Ji nodded with a wry smile.

"It's better than our Guo family. We lost 50 to 60 billion. This time our Guo family has become a beacon. Brother Ji has to take care of it in the future!" Guo Tai said with a smile.

"Definitely, definitely." Brother Ji said quickly.

Neither of them mentioned their core real estate company. It would be useless and only distracting.

"Sister-in-law, did you gain anything from your inspection in the mainland?" After the greetings, Kidd got down to business.

Mrs. Guo said with a serious look: "We are mainly considering the cities in Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Zhuhai. The projects we inspect are also industrial..."

"Have you ever investigated the real estate industry? The mainland has a large population..." Brother Ji asked.

“Not with real estate.”

Mrs. Guo shook her head, interrupted Brother Ji, and said: "First of all, our Guo family's influence in the mainland is far less than that of Hong Kong. The real estate industry is entirely supported by bank loans, and the Guo family cannot do that business in the mainland.

Secondly, Mrs. Lindsay is targeting us through real estate companies. If we enter the mainland and invest in real estate, what will happen? "

Brother Ji's face was also condensed, and he said doubtfully: "Actually, I don't understand now, what is the purpose of Mrs. Lindsay's attack on our four real estate companies? She controls so much money, and has official background in the mainland, so casually Which first-tier city in the Mainland cannot do real estate, so why are they targeting us?"

Mrs. Guo smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard for me to ask this question, and I don't dare to ask it."

Brother Ji suddenly said: "Tianlong Investment Bank has recruited 500 billion U.S. dollars at one time. Such a huge amount of money has entered the mainland to invest in industry. I think we will follow Tianlong's footsteps. Whichever industry they invest in, we will follow suit and invest in upstream and downstream industries." Chain, sister-in-law, what do you think?"

Mrs. Guo felt her eyes light up.

He couldn't help but sigh: "Lao Guo is no longer here, and our Guo family has no one at the helm. Brother Ji needs to take more care of us in the future!"

Brother Ji nodded and said, "I'm getting older too. From now on, our two families will take care of each other."

"I don't think they can resist for long. Sooner or later they will end up like us, unless they choose to fight to the death."

Mrs. Guo suddenly said.

Brother Ji was startled, but said: "There is one difference. Mrs. Lindsay is playing with other people's money, but Brother Cheng and Brother Tong are playing with their own money. If they choose to fight to the death, I think the final outcome will be to fight to the death. Not broken.”

Mrs. Guo nodded in agreement and said, "Brother Ji, I plan to go to Beijing in a few days."

Brother Ji looked at Mrs. Guo, who explained: "I want to visit the Zhao family."

"Zhao family? Mrs. Lindsay's husband Zhao Dong?"

Brother Ji said in surprise: "Is this sports superstar important? He seems to have never been involved in the affairs of Storm and Tianlong Investment Bank. His identity should be very simple, right?"

Mrs. Guo said with a smile: "The Zhao family has a background. Regardless of whether Zhao Dongzhong is important or not, there is no harm in walking around. Moreover, Mrs. Lindsay is so optimistic about the development of the mainland. If she is said to be completely unaffected by the Zhao family and Zhao Dong, it must be true. impossible."

Brother Ji nodded quickly and said: "Indeed, my sister-in-law's words are prudent. When the time comes, you can make an appointment with me and we will go there together."

On the 24th, the storm receded, but it continued to hit listed companies such as Yangtze River and New World, and the strangulation of funds was very brutal.

At 2:40 p.m., before the market closed, Storm announced that it had simultaneously issued tender offer orders for the three major listed companies, Changjiang, New World and Hutchison.

These three tender offer orders shocked the whole of Hong Kong.

Are the four major real estate giants that have survived the Asian financial crisis going to be doomed? Countless Hong Kong people are shocked.

Lindsay's name and photo appeared on all the media headlines in Hong Kong, becoming a topic of discussion for countless people and an idol they worshiped.

After this day of competition, Brother Cheng and Brother Tong were exhausted.

Brother Tong was the first to give up resistance and showed up at the Hong Kong branch headquarters of Tianlong Investment Bank that night and asked to see Lindsay.

Brother Tong is actually the one with the least desire for power among the four. He had retired once a few years ago and handed over the company to his eldest son. However, his eldest son did not have his ability. In less than a year, New World The real estate company fell into a situation where the capital chain was broken. He had no choice but to come back and sell a number of assets of New World Real Estate Company, cut off a number of projects that consumed funds, and raised a large amount of funds to save the company. .

On the 24th, at Lindsay's request, the Zheng family began to prepare for the equity transfer overnight.

Lindsay only wanted the equity in New World Real Estate Company, and she returned all the equity in other companies to the Zheng family.

This point also makes Tong Ge very satisfied. Without real estate, the Zheng family still has the jewelry business as its core, which is much better than the Guo family and Ji Ge family. There is no need to change careers at all, so the transfer matter is very smooth.

On the morning of the 25th, at 8:30, New World Real Estate Company changed hands. The news shocked Hong Kong and made Brother Cheng feel despair.

Lindsay and Zhao Dong control three of the four major real estate companies and own three-quarters of Hong Kong's real estate reserve land.

In fact, Lindsay and Zhao Dong have taken control of the Hong Kong real estate market.

In the morning, Mr. Tung invited Lindsay to visit the Hong Kong Government. The two talked for three hours. Then Mr. Tung invited Lindsay to lunch and continued the conversation in the afternoon.

Lindsay expressed her willingness to cooperate with Mr. Dong's housing project, but also pointed out the shortcomings of the 85,000 plan.

With the strength she showed today, Mr. Dong had to pay attention and expressed his willingness to re-study and modify the plan.

At the same time, Lindsay proposed a development plan for the northern part of Hong Kong and proposed the concept of connecting with Shenzhen for the first time. Mr. Dong said that he would study this plan.

The content of the conversation between the two quickly spread to Beijing.

Mr. Zhu met Zhao Dong and his son again and praised Zhao Dong again.

"Madam, Mr. Li is waiting in Tianlong now. He wants to see you."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, while still meeting with Mr. Dong, Mei Lin reported a piece of news.

Lindsay didn't show any surprise. As long as she had enough chips and enough funds, sooner or later Mr. Li would come and ask to see her. Otherwise, what would be waiting for him would be banks pressing for debt and the real estate company going bankrupt.

On the 26th, Cheung Kong Holdings announced a change of ownership.

Cheung Kong Holdings owns 42% of Hutchison's equity, and Lindsay did not push too hard and gave Brother Cheng a way out.

Hutchison also has part of the real estate business. She asked Cheng Ge to cut off Hutchison's real estate business and transfer it to Changjiang. Then she transferred the Hutchison equity held by Changjiang to Hutchison.

Of course, Hutchison is larger than Yangtze River. This transfer also used up all of Hutchison’s cash and even sold off some assets to raise tens of billions to buy that part of Hutchison’s shares.

As a result, the Li family has withdrawn from the real estate industry in Hong Kong and will focus on Hutchison in the future.

The Li family, like the Zheng family, does not need to change careers. Hutchison has its own industrial core. If we focus on this core, our future development may be better.

As a result, Lindsay and Zhao Dong dominated the Hong Kong real estate market.

On the 27th, Lindsay invested HK$1.2 billion in his own name to purchase a 38-storey building owned by Cheung Kong Holdings in Central. It was renamed Dongwei Building. The soon-to-be-established Zhao's Real Estate and the Hong Kong branch of Tianlong Investment Bank will both move in. Dongwei Building.

On the 28th, Lindsay established Zhao's Real Estate Group Co., Ltd. in Hong Kong. Zhao controls four major real estate listed companies, with a scale of HK$600 billion.

On this day, the stock prices of the four major real estate companies also rose in response. On this trading day, the average increase was about 30%, causing the market value of Zhao Real Estate to skyrocket to nearly 800 billion Hong Kong dollars in one day.

Not to mention other assets, in Zhao's real estate alone, Lindsay and Zhao Dong control 51% of the shares in their personal capacity. The two have a net worth of nearly 400 billion Hong Kong dollars and a personal wealth of nearly 50 billion US dollars. They immediately Bringing them into the eyes of the world.

Lindsay has become the richest man in Hong Kong with a net worth of nearly US$30 billion from Zhao Real Estate.

With a net worth of nearly US$20 billion from Zhao Real Estate, Zhao Dong has also entered the top ten richest people in Hong Kong.

That night, Lindsay held a luxurious party at Dongwei Building, inviting celebrities from all walks of life in Hong Kong, as well as Mr. Dong and Mr. Huo. Of course, the top four real estate families were also among them.

In addition, some famous stars from Hong Kong's entertainment industry were invited to perform to add to the fun of the party.

More than ten top stars, such as Principal Tan, Leslie Cheung, Cheng Long, Jet Li, Andy Lau, Carina Lau, Princess Xian, Wang Fei, Lim Min, Zhang Xueyou, etc., are all performing.

When the party started, Lindsay said hello to the others, chatted a few words each, and walked over to the celebrities.

To be honest, Lindsay has too much aura. He has just wiped out four major real estate companies and became the richest man in Hong Kong. With such power, these celebrities are getting nervous before he even gets close.

"Mrs. Lindsay, I am Zhang Guorong. Brother Feilong has helped me a lot. It's such an honor to meet you!" Zhang Guorong quickly stepped forward and said.

He had not seen Lindsay since he had been in the United States for so long last time, and this was the first time he met her.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I heard your name mentioned by my husband, and he also said that he hopes you will go to Beijing to hold a concert."

Lindsay nodded and smiled.

"Absolutely." Zhang Guorong said quickly.

"Hello Mrs. Lindsay."

Chenglong also stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.

The two of them are friends of Zhao Dong. If other celebrities don't know Zhao Dong, it will be difficult for them to talk to him.

"Mrs. Lindsay is so beautiful and elegant!" Carina Lau exclaimed in surprise.

"I heard he is a European noble!" Wang Fei said.

"Shh, don't talk nonsense!"

As soon as Zhang Guorong retreated, he heard Wang Fei's words and quickly stopped him.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Wang Fei asked carefully.

"Mrs. Lindsay doesn't seem to like this topic." Leslie Cheung reminded in a low voice.

"Thanks for the advice, brother."

Wang Fei nodded, seeming to understand, and said thank you.

Lindsay chatted with Chenglong for a while and was about to leave when he happened to see a very handsome male star behind him, but he smiled and walked over.

"Are you Mr. Dawn?" Lindsay smiled.

"Oh, yes, hello Mrs. Lindsay, I am Dawn." Dawn said nervously.

Lindsay smiled and said, "I remember when I invited you yesterday, my husband specifically mentioned your name because I didn't know you. He said that the most handsome one must be you."

"Don't dare, don't dare. It would be such an honor for Mr. Zhao to know me." Liming said quickly.

Lindsay smiled and said, "He said you are also from Beijing?"

"Yes, I was born in Beijing and came to Hong Kong when I was 4 years old." Liming explained.

"My husband mentioned that in 1993 you raised polio vaccines for 80 million children in the mainland. This kindness is worthy of his respect." Lindsay smiled.

"That's right, it's all within my ability." Liming smiled modestly.

"I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

After shaking hands with Dawn and nodding to the other stars, Lindsay left.

"Ling Ming, when will you go to Beijing and let's have tea with Brother Feilong?" Chenglong came over and asked.

"Okay, I'm free anytime." Liming smiled.

Zhang Guorong came over and joked: "Red can be redder than dawn. Do you have free time?"

Li Ming smiled and shook her head and said, "Brother, I am old and almost out of breath now. I have a lot of free time."

Zhang Guorong punched Liming and said with a smile: "I didn't say old, you said old?"

"I didn't even say old, you said old?" Principal Tan joked.

"By the way, Ah Rong, Mrs. Lindsay just said that Brother Feilong wants you to hold a concert in Beijing. What do you think? Are you free recently? He is only available for the past two months and may return to the United States in October. Yes." Chenglong reminded.

"I'll make a plan right away. Will you support me then?" Zhang Guorong said.

"Definitely." Chenglong smiled.

He saw Li Lianjie next to him and suddenly asked curiously: "Ajie, you are also from Beijing. I heard that the Shichahai Martial Arts School where you practice martial arts is next to the alley where Brother Feilong lives. The alley where he lives is called Sanbulao. Do you know him? ?"

"Yes, Sanbu Lao Hutong is not far from the martial arts school."

Li Lianjie smiled and said: "But I left Shichahai in 1980 when I was filming Shaolin Temple. I had never met him before."

Chenglong nodded and said, "He was born in 1977, so he was only three years old when you left the martial arts school."

On August 1st, Lindsay held a press conference for Storm Investment Fund at the Dongwei Building, officially announcing that Storm would disband its funds and that all hundreds of billions of dollars in funds would be redeemed. His shares in Nike and nearly 200 other funds would be redeemed. The market value of 100 million will be transferred.

This news immediately dwarfed the capital war among real estate companies in Hong Kong these days, and shocked Wall Street and the financial community around the world.

The investment fund with the highest return on investment in the world, the best safe haven for funds in the bear market, the Storm Fund that led the short-seller army to defeat the bulls on Wall Street, was just disbanded?

In particular, the storm has recently stirred up a bloody storm in the Hong Kong real estate industry. Countless international hot money has been prepared. If Lindsay hadn't acted too fast, these capitals would have rushed in. At this time, the storm suddenly disbanded, leaving countless people were shocked.

"Mrs. Lindsay, is the storm completely disbanded?" a New York Times reporter asked.

"All its funds have been dissolved." Lindsay replied briefly.

"Can you tell me the reason for the dissolution? Is it because of the establishment of Tianlong Investment Bank? As far as I know, the thirty-six investment funds currently established by Tianlong are all closed-end funds that invest in industry. There are no open-end funds. They completely abandon finance. Have you invested?" the reporter asked.

"Yes." Lin Dao said.

Of course she will not tell the truth. She and Zhao Dong will re-establish a new private investment fund. This fund will take over the US stock market value of nearly 20 billion US dollars held by Feng. These are companies with full potential. Will hold for long term.

But this is just a transition. In the future, these stocks will be acquired by various group companies established by Tianlong Investment Bank and the state. Tianlong Investment Bank will conduct a series of mergers and acquisitions.

In addition, the Storm Fund will once again establish several quantum investment funds, specifically used to short U.S. stocks in the next few years, eat the long positions and take the short positions, dedicated to financial speculation rather than investment.

"Excuse me, madam, to whom will the Nike shares be transferred?" a reporter asked.

"Feilong Sports will spend huge sums of money for the acquisition." Lindsay said straightforwardly.

On August 15, Lindsay finished handling her affairs in Hong Kong and returned to Beijing on a special plane.

"Honey, thank you for your hard work!"

"Husband, I miss you so much!"

At noon, Zhao Dong took someone to pick him up at the airport. The two had not seen each other for a month. After picking up the person, they did not go home. Instead, they went directly to the hotel and did not return to the courtyard until dinner in the afternoon.

In the evening, the two discussed future matters, and Zhao Dong mentioned Brother Gu.

"Aiweier, this company can no longer sustain its funding. What I mean is to re-register the company, put it in China, then establish a branch in the United States, and then increase capital and expand shares."

"Husband, do you think so highly of it?"

"It doesn't cost much anyway, and it has certain technological content. Let's use the money to support it first. What if it succeeds? This is called venture capital."

"Okay, I'll let someone handle it."

Zhao Dong still thinks that it would be better to take the technology back, since it would not be troublesome anyway.

"By the way, Aiweier, the yacht design drawings from several shipyards have come out. Take a look and choose one."

Zhao Dong brought the notebook, because Lindsay was staying in Hong Kong, and this matter had been delayed for a while.

"OK!"

Lindsay picked up Zhao Dong enthusiastically.

In the end, the two chose the German Leshun Yacht Group.

In the following days, Lindsay seemed to be even busier, because part of the funds had been recruited, and now it was time to spend money.

Under the auspices of Mr. Zhu, multiple departments joined forces and began to integrate excellent resources while reducing burdens. A large number of group companies were established, involving a total scale of trillions of yuan, and then large amounts of funds from Tianlong Investment Bank entered them.

The controlling rights of these group companies are still in the hands of the state, but Tianlong holds a very heavy stake, and they all belong to the second largest shareholder. With the support of Mr. Zhu, he has decisive power over the development direction of the group companies. This is reflected in the investment. When there is an agreement, it is legally binding.

With a "forward-looking" perspective, Zhao Dong established multiple companies through Lindsay's hand, involving many high-tech industries such as core chips, new materials, new energy, and networks, and invested huge sums of money in them.

These companies all belong to the Dongwei Industrial Group established by the two and are controlled by the group.

According to the two's original plan, Dongwei Group was established with private investment by the two, with the two holding a controlling stake, supplemented by state funds and funds from Tianlong Investment Bank.

During this period, Lindsay, who invested hundreds of billions of dollars in China, also appeared on CCTV's seven o'clock news countless times and was frequently interviewed by national leaders, becoming China's most famous industrial investor. Of course, she has become the most popular person in the country. From the central ministries to the local governments, she is a god of wealth. Every day, at least a hundred domestic media reports about her.

Lindsay was tired of eating the state banquet, and Zhao Dong didn't catch it even once, but he was so greedy that he had to ask Lindsay to pack it for him.

At the same time, the news that Tianlong Investment Bank invested huge amounts of money in China was widely spread by the world's media, and countless eyes were turned to China.

The actions of Lindsay and Tianlong Investment Bank also attracted a large amount of international funds, and they followed suit and came to China for various inspections.
