Chapter 105 The meat eaters of the Xiangjiang British Capital Consortium!
These are the carnivores of Xiangjiang, the real rich people of Xiangjiang, not only now but also in the future.
However, among these rich people, apart from some who inherited their families, some of them were able to achieve this step, while some also developed through various means.
It is certainly not easy for these people to achieve this.
These people were not familiar with Yang Ming, but Yang Ming was relatively familiar with them.
In addition to these major Chinese real estate developers, there is also the emerging Jianing Group Chen Songqing.
Chen Songqing is also from Nanyang, but the relationship between other Chinese real estate developers and Chen Songqing is not good, and Chen Songqing's relationship with them is not good either.
Without Bao Yugang's introduction, Chen Songqing had already taken the initiative to greet Yang Ming.
"Mr. Yang, my name is Chen Songqing. I am the chairman of Jianing Group. It is a great honor to meet you."
From what Yang Ming knew, Chen Songqing was a financial liar who not only deceived Shen Bi of Huifeng Bank, but also many ordinary investors in Xiangjiang.
In addition, Chen Songqing was unscrupulous in doing things, and many of his confidants died inexplicably at his hands.
Such a business person can be considered quite vicious and cruel.
No wonder other wealthy people in Xiangjiang seem a little out of place with him.
"Hello, Mr. Chen."
Yang Ming simply shook hands with him and did not communicate further.
In addition to these, there are other Xiangjiang real estate developers who come to watch the auction and watch the excitement.
Some time ago, many people here sent him congratulations and invitations, which were all returned by Kayla and Lin Dezhong.
However, Yang Ming knew that he was still different from others.
"Mr. Yang, we are all British friends over there."
For example, Niu Bijian, the chief executive of Jardine Matheson, and Bao Fuda, general manager of Land, did not need to be introduced by Bao Yugang. Bao Yugang knew that Yang Ming also knew him very well.
After all, Yang Ming made a sneak attack on Wharf stocks and swallowed up Wharf before Niu Bijian and Bao Fuda could react.
This is Yang Ming's battle to become famous in Hong Kong.
Since then, Niu Bijian and Bao Fuda couldn't even get acquainted with him.
"Sir Niu Bijian, Mr. Bao Fuda, we are old friends."
Yang Ming smiled.
"The ghost is your friend."
Niu Bijian didn't say it out loud, but he thought so in his heart.
However, now that Yang Ming is the major shareholder of Huifeng Bank, and his relationship with Taipan Shen Bi is so close, Niu Bijian really doesn't want to offend Yang Ming.
The two parties just greeted each other ceremoniously.
Wheelock's chief executive, John Ma Shi, had already met Yang Ming in the conference room of Huifeng Bank's headquarters, because Ma Shi was also one of Huifeng Bank's shareholders and directors.
Yang Ming thinks John Horse Stool is quite funny.
When Bao Yugang was about to abandon his ship and land, and global shipping was in serious decline, John Horseman and Wheelock actually bet that the global shipping industry would continue to develop, so much so that they borrowed a lot of money to develop Wheelock Shipping.
Unexpectedly, the consequences would be to owe a large amount of loans, and Wheelock, one of the four major foreign banks in Hong Kong, would be swallowed up by Bao Yugang.
That hasn't happened yet, and John Stool is still in high spirits.
John Mashiro is a second generation rich man who inherited his father's property. However, John Horseman is not actually the largest shareholder of Wheelock, but the second largest shareholder. The largest shareholder is Zhang.
Historically, after Zhang sold Wheelock's shares to Bao Yugang, Bao Yugang naturally swallowed up Wheelock.
Yang Ming and John Ma Shi chatted a few more words there. Yang Ming smiled on the surface, but in his heart, only he knew.
"Mr. Yang, this is Mr. Kadoorie from China Power."
The China Power Kadoorie family is really not simple.
It currently monopolizes the electricity supply in Xiangjiang outside Xiangjiang Island. In addition, the five-star hotel in Xiangjiang, the Peninsula Hotel Group, is also an industry owned by the Kadoorie family.
Yang Ming knew that the Kadoorie family was Jewish.
When I think about the other party being a Jew, I know that the other party is naturally not simple in business.
Later, Yang Ming learned that the Kadoorie family had cooperated with China to develop a nuclear power plant in Pengcheng Bay, allowing China Electric Power to develop on a larger scale.
"Mr. Yang, this is Mr. Shi Huaiya of Taikoo & Co., Ltd."
Ancient?
The Schweizer family is very extraordinary.
Yang Ming knew that historically, there were four major foreign banks in Hong Kong.
Among them, Jardine Matheson & Co., the largest foreign bank, in addition to retaining its parent company, other foreign banks such as Wharf were swallowed up by Bao Yugang.
Later, they were afraid of Chinese capital and were forced to move their headquarters to Bermuda.
The second largest foreign bank, Hutchison Whampoa, was acquired by Li Jiacheng.
Wheelock, the third largest foreign trade company, was acquired by Bao Yugang.
The fourth largest foreign company, Taikoo, was preserved by Shi Huaiya, which is enough to show the power of the Shi Huaiya family.
In addition, Yang Ming knew that in addition to Swire Properties and being famous in the Swire business circle, Swire also controlled Xiangjiang and even the Coca-Cola market in the mainland.
There is also Hong Kong’s international airline, which is also monopolized by Swire.
In addition to these British capital.
There are really many British talents in Hong Kong, big and small, but some of them are not related to real estate, so they did not come to participate.
After Bao Yugang briefly introduced this to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming knows that whether it is Chinese or British capital, they are basically his business opponents.
After all, we are all meat eaters.
In Xiangjiang, the market is like that. If others eat, it means you have to eat less.
Nowadays, the market of Chinese and British capital in Xiangjiang is not limited to Xiangjiang.
There are also markets including Southeast Asia and even overseas.
Moreover, some of these British capitals have developed for hundreds of years and accumulated huge assets. However, if they are not careful, they will be eaten up by others.
Yang Ming, who was sitting in a wheelchair, chatted with these people.
Yang Ming speaks both English and Cantonese very fluently.
9:00am.
Ma Shimin, general manager of Wharf Group, is here.
He was bringing several Wharf executives over.
Except Ma Shimin.
There are also Wei Li, the current chief executive officer of Hutchison International, and Li Caixin, vice president.
Wei Li and Li Caixin did not expect that Yang Ming would also come.
They came quickly to greet Yang Ming.
No matter what happens now, Wei Li and Li Caixin know that they must respect their new boss Yang Ming outside.
Now Yang Ming is the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa, and Wei Li and Li Caixin are just his professional managers.
"Boss, it's time for the auction."
Yang Ming and others went inside.
Seeing Mai Lisi, Ma Shimin and others next to Yang Ming, Li Jiacheng and others were envious.
Although Yang Ming didn't mind that Mailisi and Li Jiacheng were chatting there just now, Li Jiacheng knew that Mailisi now was different from before.
Everyone entered the conference room inside the Public Works Department.
There are now hundreds of people inside, most of whom are participating in the auction of the Murray Building plot.
Because it is a secret bidding auction, it means that all parties need to submit the price they want to bid.
