Naturally, it was impossible to talk about serious business at such a wine table. Several people were chatting casually, but the most aggrieved person was Chen Le. After experiencing the excitement after seeing his idol for the first time, he found that he did not listen at all.
I don’t understand Cantonese, so I don’t know what they are talking about.
When the dinner was over, he secretly told Wu Jianye again that he would study Cantonese in Xiangjiang during this period. Wu Jianye just smiled at this and said that he would talk about it if he could persist.
In the following days, when Wu Jianye still didn't calm down, first Li Chaoren, Li Zhaoji and others also knew about Wu Jianye's arrival, and invited them one after another, and Wu Jianye couldn't refuse.
However, one of the gatherings was initiated by Wu Jianye, and there were only three people meeting, Wu Jianye and Yan Wen, and the last one was Gao Jinbao, the chairman of the Bank of China in Hong Kong.
The meeting between the three people was naturally about the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank. Wu Jianye had already met Gao Jinbao once before because of the Standard Chartered Bank matter. This time it was just to discuss the specific steps.
However, since the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank has always been handled by Yan Wen, Wu Jianye will also leave all matters of the comprehensive acquisition and privatization of Standard Chartered Bank to Yan Wen.
After the meeting between the three of them, Wu Jianye held a small meeting at home. Not many people attended the meeting, only Zhou Tao, Yan Wen, and Zhao Lei!
The three of them can be regarded as Wu Jianye's most basic team in business.
For example, Zhou Tao is now in charge of Yaoguang Group, and Yan Wen is in charge of Yiwang Group. As for Zhao Lei, he is purely a soybean and only holds 10% of the shares in Yaoguang Group, but now he has assets worth billions.
.
After a series of reorganizations and equity allocation transactions, the equity allocation of Yaoguang Group is now 75% held by Shanhai Investment established by Wu Jianye in the Cayman Islands, 15% held by Zhou Tao, and 10% held by Zhao Lei.
Nowadays, the main companies under Yaoguang Group are Xiangjiang Land, Tunan Technology, Taiwei Electric, Hanshui Beverage, Jinxiu Garment, Fengge Entertainment, Xiangjiang ATV, Maple Security, and Yaoguang Investment.
Yaoguang Group's previous real estate projects in China and Heung Kong Land were all merged into Heung Kong Land after the successful privatization of Heung Kong Land.
At the same time, Yaoguang Group has also become the largest unlisted consortium in Hong Kong. Not to mention the overall size of Yaoguang Group, even one of its subsidiaries is enough to become one of the largest consortiums in Hong Kong.
The situation of Yiwang Group is a bit complicated. When Yiwang Group was first established, Yanwen chose to withdraw from Yaoguang Group. Now he holds 15% of the shares of Yiwang Group, while Shanhai Investment holds 85%.
% equity.
The main companies under the Yiwang Group include Yuzhi Investment, Standard Chartered Bank, Life Insurance, Qingyao Toys, Yumin Travel, Sanmiao Comics, Dalue Construction, Yisu Heavy Industry, and Xiangjiang Shipbuilding, which is being negotiated for acquisition with New World
Serve nine major companies!
In fact, when the 1987 stock market crash ended, Yiwang Group had more listed companies. However, after Yanwen split these listed companies, reorganized, sold, and delisted them, only the above-mentioned companies were retained.
However, unlike the companies under Yaoguang Group, which are all privatized and unlisted companies, Yiwang Group currently has four listed companies: Standard Chartered Bank, Qingyao Toys, Dalue Construction, and Yisu Heavy Industry!
The most important task of Yiwang Group now is to completely privatize Standard Chartered Bank, and the biggest enemy it faces is Ryan Henderson, the current CEO of Standard Chartered Bank.
This meeting of four people was actually to discuss the future development strategies of the two major groups.
"Talent reserve will be one of the most important projects of the two major groups in the next few years. In the next five years, the talent reserve of the two major groups must reach more than 1,000 people!" Wu Jianye said.
The development of the two major groups is really too fast. The talent reserve has always been a shortcoming of the two major groups. Nowadays, although a lot of talents have been recruited through headhunting companies and publicly, their own talent reserves are still a big shortcoming.
Board, especially after the incident involving Han Shui Drink Qin Ye.
Zhou Tao and Yan Wen also have a deep understanding. Both of them have an overloaded workload now.
The easiest person to say here is actually Zhao Lei. After Yanghua Shoe Factory was acquired by Yaoguang Group, the only projects in his hands were investment in the Guomao Building in Yanjing and Dongting, which is not affiliated with Yaoguang Group and Yiwang Group in China.
.
The main project under Dongting Investment is the Twin Towers in Zhongguancun. Dongting Investment is a domestic investment company. The equity distribution is that Shanhai Investment holds 85% of the shares, and Zhou Tao, Yan Wen, and Zhao Lei each hold 5%.
Zhou Tao was the first to say: "Yaoguang Group has started recruiting talents at various universities in Hong Kong and domestic universities. Now Yaoguang Group's talent reserve center already has 108 reserve talents as planned. In May of this year,
These people will be assigned to various companies to start training, and the next batch of candidates will be added during the graduation season!"
Yan Wen replied: "Yiwang Group is similar, but because Yiwang Group's business is more complicated, especially in financial investment, it has always been the top priority of Yiwang Group, so more job opportunities will be in
Recruiting from major universities around the world!”
One of the most important subsidiaries of Yiwang Group today is Yu Zhi Investment. The projects Yu Zhi Investment is responsible for are also the most complex. For example, Yu Zhi Investment owns shares of four major real estate companies in Hong Kong and Chinese Real Estate and other high-quality companies.
, at the same time, rb’s projects are also handled by Yu Zhi Investment.
Today, Yuzhi Investment is the largest investment company in Hong Kong.
Wu Jianye then listened to their opinions on the development of each subsidiary, and also gave his own ideas.
For example, Tunan Technology, a subsidiary of Yaoguang Group, is no longer just producing mobile phones, computers and other products as its main development direction. It is also involved in the construction of communication infrastructure with China and even the entire Southeast Asia.
After listening to Zhou Tao's description, Wu Jianye gave his opinion: Communication infrastructure can be built, but at the same time it is best to form its own industrial closed-loop chain, such as computer screens, CPU processors, semiconductor research and development, etc.
Research and development of a series of products such as mobile phone parts and components.
The research and development of these projects is a great test for Tunan Technology's financial status and first-level technology reserves. Last year, Tunan Technology's annual profit reached a terrifying HK$5.7 billion, and the result agreed by Wu Jianye and Zhou Tao at that time was to take
70% of Tunan Technology’s profits will be used as Tunan Technology’s research and development expenses.
At this time, Tunan Technology not only has its own scientific research laboratories in Hong Kong and China, but also has invested in its own scientific research laboratories all over the world, especially in well-known universities.
Among them, the research and development of CPU processors and semiconductors, if really launched, will be a huge money-burning operation and will not be profitable in the short term. Zhou Tao also raised his own questions about this.
"Are we moving a little too fast? All Tunan Technology's funds are used as scientific research funds, which also puts huge cash pressure on ourselves!"
Wu Jianye said: "Don't worry, after the investment in rb is completed in the first half of this year, we will be able to withdraw a large amount of funds. At the same time, there will also be a sum of funds in the account next year. By then, you can let Yaoguang Investment, a subsidiary of Yaoguang Group, advance
Just prepare the funds, you can discuss this matter with Yan Wen!"
Naturally, next year will be the unification event of East and West Germany, and at the same time, there will be the disintegration of the Soviet Union the year after. These are all opportunities to make quick money. This is the golden finger of the reborn. What Wu Jianye has to do now is to use the money to create one.
The seemingly impossible thing happened, that is, for Tunan Technology to develop in the field of science and technology, even if you spend money, you have to find a way to overtake it.
As for how the funds will be allocated at that time, it is Zhou Tao's business.
In fact, the stock market in Xiangjiang this year can also take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. Due to some unspeakable reasons, the stock market in Xiangjiang will also experience a huge decline this year. The degree of decline is second only to the situation during the 87 stock market crash. When the time comes, Wu will see
Night will also let them prepare in advance.
At the same time, Tunan Technology will develop comprehensively in other fields this year, but these are projects to make quick money, such as the learning machine project that will soon become popular across the country. This investment alone can at least bring benefits to Tunan Technology.
A profit of several billion yuan.
In the 1990s, Tunan Technology will cooperate with Taiwei Electric to launch VCD machines. Of course, Wu Jianye will not tell Zhou Tao and others these things now. Wu Jianye will not come up with these until the technology matures.
Plan it out.
The four-person meeting lasted for more than ten hours and basically decided on the development plans of Yaoguang Group and Yiwang Group for the next five years. As for the specific implementation, it will be operated by Zhou Tao and Yan Wen.
After the meeting, Yanwen found Wu Jianye alone.
"Brother, Ma Yicheng proposed to acquire Yulang International!"
Ma Yicheng is the editor-in-chief of Sanmiao Comics, a subsidiary of Yiwang Group, and is also one of the most famous comic writers in Hong Kong. "Wind and Cloud" and "Chinese Heroes" were both written by Ma Yicheng.
The two earliest giants in the comic industry in Xiangjiang were Huang Yulang and Shangguan Xiaobao.
And Ma Yicheng is Shangguan Xiaobao's apprentice. Shangguan Xiaobao is like Luo Wei in the Hong Kong film industry. He can discover talents, but cannot retain them. During the 1987 stock market crash, Shangguan Xiaobao failed to invest and needed to sell his business.
The comic company covered its position when Yiwang Group acquired Shangguan Xiaobao's comic company and later changed its name to Sanmiao Comics. After Sanmiao Comics was established, Ma Yicheng and Niu Lao were retained by Yan Wen in the company.
At the same time, Ma Yicheng became the editor-in-chief of Sanmiao Comics.
As for Niu Lao, he is also a famous cartoonist in Hong Kong. Everyone is probably most familiar with his works in the "Young and Dangerous" series.
Ma Yicheng not only worked under Shangguan Xiaobao, but also worked under Huang Yulang. However, later Ma Yicheng was dissatisfied with Huang Yulang's share, so he offered to resign. As a result, he was fired and almost injured.
Tetsuji cannot draw.
Although there is no evidence to prove that Huang Yulang did this, Ma Yicheng has always pinned the matter on Huang Yulang.
So the two have always been at odds!
"What's the current situation of Yulang International?" Wu Jianye asked.
"Huang Yulang can't hold it anymore." Then Yanwen began to introduce the situation of Yulang International.
In August 1986, the shares of Yuk Lang Institution Co., Ltd. were listed. Huang Yulang owned 75% of the shares, and the rest were scattered shares issued to the public in accordance with regulations. Huang Yulang claimed to be worth 240 million Hong Kong dollars.
At that time, the American "Wall Street Journal" published an article introducing Huang Yulang, calling him a billionaire prodigy who "draws rainbows."
Huang was so surprised when he heard about it that he didn't know where he was for a while, so he called himself the "Yulang Emperor" to his employees. The entire group was the "Yulang Empire", and even the printing factory was called the Imperial Printing Factory.
Emperor Yulang attained enlightenment, and all the painters also pulled up the tail of their shirts and ascended to heaven. Huang Yulang implemented a dividend system in the group, and each of the 20 chief painters earned no less than 2 million Hong Kong dollars per year.
Of course, Emperor Yulang's "gift" must be rewarded. All the masters worked hard to make the Yulang Empire reach a higher level, with as many silver papers as flying clouds in the sky.
In the year of its listing, Yulang Group published 14 comic books and periodicals and a weekly magazine "Yulang TV", both of which dominated the comics market, with annual profits of HK$45.7 million.
A reporter from the English-language South China Morning Post went to the Yulang Group for an interview and was shocked to see a row of Porsche luxury cars parked in the courtyard. He exclaimed in the article: "This is proof of the success of the Yulang Group's painting staff."
Yulang's stock was hot in the stock market. Huang Yulang struck while the iron was hot and took advantage of the bull market the following year to issue three rights issues, raising more than 450 million Hong Kong dollars.
Emperor Yulang's waist has become thicker, and every investment is a big deal. After the listing, he spent 13 million Hong Kong dollars to purchase the Chai Wan Hongmin Industrial Center to build the Imperial Printing Factory.
In February 1987, it spent HK$70 million to buy the 10-storey King's Road News Building from the chairman of Sing Tao Newspaper Group, Hu Yuan, as the administrative and production headquarters of Yulang Group.
In March, he spent HK$77 million to acquire 70% of the equity of Tiantian Newspaper and the entire equity of Tiantian Color Printing, taking over the entertainment comprehensive newspaper "Tiantian Daily".
In July, he purchased "Fresh Weekly" for HK$25.2 million and "Youth" magazine for HK$9.3 million, vowing to become a media king as powerful as Hu Yuan.
Huang Yulang is not afraid of spending money. There is a lot of money in the stock market. Huang Yulang obtained the wisdom of making money from his friend Liu Luanxiong, who is from the same hometown. He only needs to put a thick pump head into the stock market and there will be a steady stream of "water"
Pump it into your pocket. "Rights issue, raise funds, spend, rights issue again, raise funds, spend..." This is the "new pump philosophy" summarized by Huang.
With this theory as the foundation, Huang Yulang carried out larger-scale expansion.
In September 1987, Huang founded the Financial Times and hired the former editor-in-chief of Wenhui Po as president and the former editor-in-chief of Financial Daily Huang Yanglie as chief editor.
In October, he traveled across the ocean and spent HK$70 million to acquire the Hu family's second largest newspaper in Malaysia, Sin Chew Daily.
Huang Yulang was born like a superstar in the media industry, and Huang's dream of becoming a media king finally came true. He himself was even more elated: "Hu Ran's newspaper group is under the shadow of her 'father', Hu Wenhu's
The descendants are mediocre. Hong Kong lost a news building and Malaysia lost a newspaper. Did Jin Daxia build a newspaper group after decades of miserable operation? It only took less than a year for the Yulang Empire to be established.
You can be on an equal footing with them.”
Acquisition is a shortcut to starting a business, just as picking fruit is a recipe for hard work. Huang Yulang, Liu Luanxiong, Luo Xurui and other new generations of the trendy business community all hold this concept. However, Huang's acquisition art is inferior to his two compatriots after all.
One chip.
Liu Luanxiong can also make profits by acquiring sniper games. Luo Xurui is equally proficient in acquiring sniper games, but he is better at digesting the acquisition and reorganizing his prey into a cornucopia.
Huang Yulang is so happy with his success, but he does not know that this series of acquisitions will become a burden for him. Once the market situation is unfavorable, there will be dangers. Critics said: Huang Yulang is only a primary school student, how can he compare with university talents Liu Luanxiong and Luo Xurui? The newspaper industry cannot compare.
Other industries require professionals.
Huang Yulang also thought that the speed of "acquiring Jianye" was too slow, and found that the fastest way to make money in the world was stocks. In 1987, the stock market was so bullish that investors were all dizzy with fever, dreaming of getting rich overnight. Huang Yulang first started speculating,
After getting its first taste of the benefits, it struck hard and purchased 34.1 million shares of China Entertainment from the Liu Luanxiong family.
He raised funds through a rights issue, and then spent HK$260 million speculating in the stock market, speculating on stocks and futures.
The market is booming, and Huang is even more aggressive in acquiring promising stocks, hoarding them, and waiting to sell them at a reasonable price.
All big investors are either veterans of stock trading or have hired think tanks as their consultants. Huang Yulang committed the taboo of "doing nothing if you are not familiar with it". At that time, Yulang Group's stock soared to 4.2 yuan per share, and Huang's net worth was over 1 billion.
Huge. He counted on his fingers, and becoming a billionaire is just around the corner!
The billionaires didn't wait, but they waited for the stock market crash that only happened once in ten years...
