Two days later, a private plane from New York landed at Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport.
The gloomy-looking Mr. Winthrop Rockefeller, wearing a tailored suit, led his entourage into the car that came to pick him up and quickly drove off the tarmac.
Taiping Peak mansion, Lingxiao Pavilion.
fourth floor
Genting platform
Wang Yaocheng sat leisurely in the traditional classical octagonal pavilion, enjoying the quiet and beautiful moments of the years.
Si Wanru was wearing light-colored casual clothes. She stretched out her fair hands and was peeling loquat fruits. This was a seasonal fruit that had just come off the market and tasted very good.
a moment later
Si Wanru cut the flesh of the fruit into small pieces and put it into the mouth of Wang Yaocheng, who was lying down like a gentleman;
"Hmm... Not bad. The flesh of this loquat is sweet and juicy. Try it yourself."
"I'll serve you first and then I'll talk."
"My dear, thank you for your hard work."
"Stupid virtue." Si Wanru gave him two big white eyes.
Wang Yaocheng smiled casually, with an expression as if I'd lose if I quarreled with you. Si Wanru's teeth itched with hatred, and she angrily stuffed a whole piece of loquat pulp into his mouth.
"oh……"
Wang Yaocheng ate a full mouthful in one go and chewed happily. The chewing juice flowed down the corners of his mouth. Si Wanru quickly wiped him clean with a small towel.
"Well, it's better to eat it with a big mouthful."
Si Wanru really had nothing to do with him; "Okay, I won't quarrel with you anymore. I will go back to Yanjing in the next two days. The site of the first batch of donated charity nursery schools in the central and western provinces has been determined, and the corresponding work has been completed.
To start, I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you in the past two months."
Wang Yaocheng; "It's okay. You don't have to worry about me here. You should rest after being busy these days. You must pay attention to your first pregnancy. You can't ignore the private doctor's instructions. I will ask the doctor to follow you back to Yanjing to take care of you."
.”
"I know."
Si Wanru's face was slightly red, and she touched her lower abdomen happily. There was a little life being gestated here, and her beautiful face shone with motherly love; "When I'm not around, you can... you can ask them to come and stay with you, but
Don’t go outside and mess around with women.”
"It's necessary. I'm not in the mood to provoke others anymore." Wang Yaocheng immediately became excited.
"Who believes you?"
"Really, I can swear."
"Don't! We, small-time people, can't stand it. The halo surrounding you is too scary!"
"hehe……"
The couple chatted for some time, and the topic gradually shifted to their current business.
"I heard from Secretary Wang that your negotiation with the representative of the Rockefeller Foundation collapsed. Will this affect you?" Si Wanru asked curiously.
Wang Yaocheng explained patiently to his wife;
"Oh, you're talking about that stinky woman Catherine, who looks like she doesn't know what the heavens and the earth are. Oh, it's funny to think about it. What kind of representative of the Rockefeller family is she? She's just an ignorant and stupid woman.
She thinks she is so smart that all the elites in the world have to surrender under her skirt, and they don't even know she is being used as a weapon.
Among the negotiators was Cluhan Frye of the Boston Group, a scheming libertine who acted as a white knight in our merger battle to acquire HSBC Bank, the same as the old Richard Tellier.
"
Wang Yaocheng said proudly: "They didn't expect that I would privatize HSBC Bank. In the end, I was forced to cut off my tail to survive, resulting in a loss of nearly 1 billion US dollars in investment in HSBC Bank.
Even if they slip away quickly, if they continue to stay on the shareholder list, I will make them want to die.
Because of this grudge, Crewe Humphrey encouraged that stupid woman Catherine to come forward along the way, oh, give me another piece of loquat fruit."
After listening to her husband's explanation, Si Wanru finally figured it out. She picked up a piece of fruit pulp and gently put it into Wang Yaocheng's big mouth. Watching him eat it deliciously, she felt happy!
"The Rockefeller Foundation is so powerful, will it be troublesome to offend them?"
Si Wanru still felt a little guilty. Although she didn't understand the ways of the business world, she always cared about her instinctively.
"Haha, there is an old saying in China that wealth cannot last more than three generations. The Rockefeller Foundation is now the sixth generation. How long can this wealth be passed down?
According to the laws of the United States;
Eighty percent of the wealth of the first generation is not passed on to the second generation, and less than 3% is passed on to the third generation. The key to the Rockefeller Foundation being able to enjoy wealth from generation to generation is to hide its wealth in charity, in family foundations, and in public welfare undertakings.
The University of Chicago, Rockefeller University, Rockefeller Foundation, the Metropolitan Museum of New York, the Museum of Modern Art, etc., which contain hundreds of billions of dollars in wealth, do not need to pay inheritance tax according to regulations.
The Rockefeller family has controlled school boards, foundations, and these museums for generations. Isn’t this wealth?
They don't really have much money at their disposal, and their influence isn't as great as they imagined. It's more of a mystery. In fact, the family's influence has long been reduced to what it used to be.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to cooperate with the Boston Consortium and the Mellon Consortium this time and eat the big cake of Samsung Electronics alone.
As for that stupid woman Catherine, you can understand her as an arrogant representative of an arrogant family, and her real role is insignificant.
Businessmen will not turn against each other because of grudges, but only because of interests."
These somewhat convoluted words made Si Wanru dizzy, and she gave up her interest in getting to the bottom of things in frustration; "Forget it, I don't understand either. I really don't understand why your head is so long and has so many twists.
Around?"
"So, I am responsible for making money, and you are responsible for doing charity and earning a good reputation."
"How could it be so unbearable as you said? Oh... right!"
Si Wanru suddenly remembered something; "Last time you said that you planned to use your charity fund to purchase the Harbor City project, saying it was a very cost-effective investment. I heard from President Huang's wife that it seems that the Wu family is not willing to
Sell, their family holds more than 60% of the shares in Wharf, and it is impossible to buy the Harbor City project."
"That's not up to him."
Si Wanru;
This matter was a bit dark. Wang Yaocheng revealed it a little bit and then shut up tightly.
Si Wanru was also a smart woman, so she immediately knew that the matter was too important to ask, so she gave him a little dissatisfaction with her fist, then picked up the rest of the fruit plate and went back.
Now that I am more than three months pregnant, I cannot be exposed to the mountain breeze for a long time.
Hong Kong City, hum!
Wang Yaocheng looked into the distance with unkind eyes. The huge and prosperous city of Hong Kong was in front of him, with row upon row of high-rise buildings spreading out in the distance. The flagpole of Harbor City standing tall beside the blue Victoria Bay was clearly visible.
Wharf is the core of wealth for the Wu family, and the Harbor City project is the core of the core. They would rather give up several other listed companies to keep their shares in Wharf.
But is this really possible?
The Royal Family Fund has not failed to achieve success in its successive moves. It has now made a comeback in CLP Power Company, driving away the Kadoorie family and regaining control of this important power industry that provides electricity to the whole of Hong Kong.
at the same time
Seize the controlling stake of Hong Kong and China Gas Company from the Li Zhaoji family. This company is worth HK$8.7 billion, has 1.17 million fixed users, has an annual turnover of HK$3.2 billion, and can provide a stable income of HK$600 million to 800 million.
Although utility companies invest heavily, they have a stable user base and stable income, making them a good stable anchor in the investment portfolio.
Since it wants to build Hong Kong into its own base, it is inevitable that the Royal Family Fund will reach out to all aspects of Hong Kong Island. This is also a potential factor of influence.
It is not visible at ordinary times, but it can play a fatal role in critical moments.
Next step;
Through a sharp stock market bargain hunting, Hong Kong Broadband and New World Communications have already been acquired. What is left is the Li Ka-shing family's Yingke Telecommunications Company in the communications industry, which can complete complete control of Hong Kong's communications industry.
Now it seems that it is not difficult to achieve the goal.
The shock of the privatization of HSBC was so powerful that the Li Zhaoji family, Li Jiacheng family and Wu Guangzhen family who were beaten all kept silent and put away the sharp thorns on their bodies.
The Li Zhaoji family gave up its shares in the Miramar Hotel and its controlling stake in the Hong Kong and China Gas Company, basically kneeling down.
The Li Ka-shing family gave up Hutchison Whampoa's interest in an 880,000-square-meter prime property in Tsim Sha Tsui, West Kowloon, in exchange for company shares, resulting in heavy losses.
This piece of land is not far from Hong Kong City. Wang Yaocheng is planning to use it to build several skyscrapers and serve as the headquarters of the Royal Family Fund.
Yingke Telecommunications Company is the second piece of bargaining chip to be handed over, and it is estimated that nothing will happen.
These two wealthy Li families are pure businessmen and cannot be said to be respectable. Wang Yaocheng has no psychological burden at all when beating them.
As a real estate businessman who invented the condominium area, Li Jiacheng made the general public pay for the condominium area. Among the most excessive projects;
For an ultra-small house in Hong Kong with an area of 16 square meters, the public area actually reaches 4.5 square meters, which shows how ruthless the exploitation is.
Similarly, this person has made hundreds of billions of wealth in mainland China, but he has not seen any charity. It is completely incomparable with his wealth, which is understandable.
Current period
The only thorny rich man left is the Wu Guangzhen family, which clings to its core industries of Harbor City and Mariner Building and fights tooth and nail.
Do you think that if you hold more than 60% of the shares of Wharf, you can enjoy peace of mind?
This is too naive.
Wang Yaocheng controls Hong Kong's public utilities and can cut off Harbor City's electricity, gas, communications and other services in a matter of minutes, and even prevents him from taking outbound flights. This will definitely make him want to die.
Without electricity, there is no lighting, let alone ventilation and air conditioning. Even the electric roller shutters cannot be opened. The entire Harbor City is a dead city, and no business can be done.
How could there be thousands of merchants willing?
There are hundreds of companies renting high-end office buildings, and customers of high-end apartment buildings should not rebel!
Naturally, the target of the attack is Wharf Holdings, which has become a street rat that everyone wants to beat. How long can it last?
As long as these thorns are cleared up and Hong Kong's fundamentals are stabilized, Wang Yaocheng will have a home base to flex his muscles around the world, and he can retreat to hide from wind and rain at any time.
You can fight when you go out, defend when you retreat, and stand firmly in an invincible position.
