The guy started serving tea.

A few people were eating and chatting about current affairs.

Xu Ruoqi talked about some of her experiences during her European trip, while Guan Zhengfei added a few words of complaint from time to time.

Miss Lu has also been to many places in Europe last time, and she can chime in from time to time, sharing common topics.

Although Ms. Guan has never been there or played there, they talked about it with great interest and yearned for it in their hearts.

She tilted her head slightly, looking at him frequently with her big, sparkling eyes.

She revealed every hint of meaning, and the meaning she wanted to imply was very clear: When will you take me there?

Lu Dongjie smiled calmly and gently pressed his hand on hers under the stage.

Have morning tea until half past eleven.

Lu Xiaomei still believed in sisterly loyalty, so she wisely got into her cousin's car and drove away, leaving the two of them to slowly date.

Miss Guan tied her hands behind her back and raised her face slightly to look at him, "Where are we going now?"

Lu Dongjie thought for a while, then a smile appeared on his lips, "Jiahui, how much personal money do you have now?"

Miss Guan was slightly startled, "Why do you ask this?"

Lu Dongjie turned his head and showed a vicious look, "I will take you to the big world, do you want to go?"

Miss Guan was not afraid and winked at him playfully, "Okay, I'll help you look out for the wind at the door. You do it."

She rolled her big eyes, bit her lip and thought for a moment, then stretched out a small palm towards him.

Lu Dongjie took her hand and walked to the parking spot, "Hey, let's go, Miss Qianjin."

Ms. Guan went back to get her bank book and went to HSBC Bank to withdraw all her personal money.

Minors in Hong Kong can open their own bank accounts, but they cannot use checking accounts.

The two then went to a small Hualong Securities Company in Central, with less than ten people in total.

After all, you can now get a stock brokerage license with 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the license holder can set up a securities company.

Zhu Zijie, director of the securities company's sales department, received him personally. After all, Lu Dongjie was considered their big customer.

He handed over a document and said, "Sheng Lu, we have completed the transfer procedures for you at Computershare Hong Kong Limited, and the stocks are registered in your name."

Lu Dongjie took it and praised with satisfaction: "Thank you, Director Zhu. Your company's work efficiency is really impressive."

Miss Guan sat quietly in a corner, her shrewd eyes quietly looking at the two people talking.

She didn't understand these stock investments at all, but she did not hesitate to use her savings to buy stocks with him.

She believed that Lu Dongjie would not lie to her, and the gifts he gave her were far more than this.

Now that the two of them are investing in stocks together, it will give her a sense of accomplishment. She is no longer a little girl.

Zhu Zijie hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "With all due respect, Wharf-type real estate development and Wharf stocks don't seem to be making any progress."

In line with his professional ethics, he shouldn't ask more questions.

But Lu Dongjie is a quite legendary figure in Hong Kong. How could he be interested in Wharf stocks for no reason?

Lu Dongjie simply said: "I have confidence in Hong Kong's real estate, and I hold these stocks just to preserve value."

He paused and smiled half-seriously: "I think there is always a bottom, and maybe it will rebound this year."

Zhu Zijie was dubious about what he said.

According to the market situation in recent years, the prospects for warehouse companies are indeed bleak, and several large companies have sought to transform and develop onshore.

First, in June this year, the boards of directors of Hutchison Enterprises and Whampoa Dockyard jointly issued a statement agreeing in principle to merge the two companies and suspending trading of listed stocks immediately.

Huangpu Dockyard's business has now shifted to focus on real estate, and its dock and warehouse operations have long been transferred to a holding company for operation.

Once the two companies merge, their total net assets will reach 2 billion and 30 million yuan, most of which are real estate-related assets.

This is undoubtedly a real estate giant.

This month, the merger plan of Hutchison Enterprises and Whampoa Dockyard was finally heard and approved by the Supreme Court.

The new holding company will resubmit its application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under the name Hutchison Whampoa and is expected to resume trading in December.

Secondly, it is Hong Kong Kowloon Warehouse Co., Ltd.

Chairman of the Board of Directors of Wharf, Mr. Nius Pikin, stated in the annual shareholder report that it will continue to shift its Tsim Sha Tsui shipping, freight and warehousing business to the development of real estate business and participate in the Kwai Chung freight industry.

However, since the economic crisis, Wharf's operating conditions have been less than ideal and somewhat tepid. There is no prospect of this old British-owned company reviving its success.

And compared with the relatively stable stock prices of several other companies, although Wharf's stock price has not fluctuated much, it has been falling silently.

From 17 yuan at the beginning of the year, it has dropped to 13 yuan now, and there is no good news to lift the stock price.

Whampoa Dockyard caught up with Hutchison Enterprises and successfully washed its feet ashore. Although Wharf had setbacks, it was still working hard to swim ashore.

The two companies are so eager to transform and develop that they are willing to abandon the business they started. Of course, it is related to the current world economic situation.

Now in the 1970s, we are in the midst of a world economic crisis. Currency depreciation caused by inflation is directly reflected in the decline of trade.

The decline of world trade and the oil crisis caused by the Middle East war caused the world shipping industry to be in a bleak state in the 1970s.

This economic crisis has also triggered a series of related consequences. Hong Kong's related shipbuilding, terminals, warehousing and other industries are also in recession.

However, while the entire international shipping industry is at a standstill, Chinese companies are aggressively acquiring second-hand ocean-going freighters from foreign shipping companies.

After their current political environment has stabilized, they have clearly put forward economic construction as the first priority.

At the same time, the new situation in U.S.-China relations has improved, and the United States intends to coordinate with Batum members to relax the conditions for embargoes and trade restrictions.

All these signs indicate that the mainland will usher in a major expansion of foreign trade.

As a transit point for mainland China's foreign trade, Hong Kong has an irreplaceable and superior location.

If the mainland wants to develop foreign trade, it would be best if it can acquire a company that operates terminals and warehouses in Hong Kong.

Or find a firm partner to facilitate their future trade layout.

Among potential partners, Charter King is undoubtedly the most suitable one.

He has the will, vision and ability.

With the shrinking world trade and the great recession in the shipping business, businesses related to Hong Kong's cargo docks and storage terminals will inevitably be affected.

The charter king has no shortage of ships. Now that the world's shipping prospects are sluggish, he must find a foothold if he wants to go ashore.

There are not many places to start with in Hong Kong, including Wharf, Whampoa Dockyard, Kwan Yick Warehouse, Safety Warehouse, Chung Hwa Shipyard, etc.

Safety warehouse, Zhonghua Shipyard is an enterprise founded by Chinese, and the industrial scale is limited and cannot meet the requirements.

The company is not short of money at all. Even if it acquires all the shares circulating in the market, it will not be enough to gain a controlling stake.

Unfortunately, Whampoa Dockyard is currently merging with Hutchison Enterprises, and there is no chance to get involved.

Junyicang is the holding company of Huangpu Dockyard, and it has taken over the original freight business of Huangpu Dockyard.

Then there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, that is, the remaining Hong Kong Kowloon Warehouse Co., Ltd., the leading company in Hong Kong's warehouses.

With the charter king's current worth and status, he can indeed take advantage of an old British-owned company by taking it by surprise.

Lu Dongjie is very sure that before long, there will be capital secretly playing a fighting game around the control of Wharf.

He began to raise funds half a year ago and secretly acquired Wharf's circulating shares from different securities companies.

Lu Dongjie didn't want to attract too much attention, so the two of them left quickly after completing the stock transfer procedures at the securities company.

After Miss Guan went out, she pretended to look at him pitifully, "What if I lose money? That's all my savings."

Lu Dongjie smiled slightly, reached out and pinched her pretty face gently, "I'll support you."

Miss Guan giggled, happily took his arm and rested her head on his arm.
