After learning more about what happened to Boss Li and his son, Gu Kun still felt a bit of magical realism.
Boss Li can be regarded as someone who has been the richest man in Asia for many years - not now, but in 1996, and he will be the richest man in Asia for several years after 2003, until he is surpassed by Ma Feng and others.
The main reason why it is not the case right now is the general decline in housing prices in Xiangjiang. The asset size of the four major real estate families is closely tied to the housing prices in Xiangjiang. When housing prices are cut in half, their family assets are not also cut in half, but it is appropriate to cut them off by 20 to 30%.
There are still some.
As a result, because Gu Kun made a profit in advance and ran away, bringing Yingke Digital and Xiangjiang Telecom into the trap, Boss Li actually cut off his wrist in desperation and severed the father-son relationship with one of his sons to avoid having to pay too much.
At least 9 billion US dollars in real money will be used to pay off the debt.
One thing to say, based on Gu Kun's understanding of the tycoons in the Hong Kong business community, if the two conditions of "compensating for an additional 9 billion U.S. dollars" and "completely destroying Boss Li's lifelong goodwill" are used to weigh it, it is estimated that Boss Li's
His face and personality are not enough to cause him to commit such destructive behavior as to ruin his credit.
The value of the words Li JC is far more than 9 billion US dollars, so there is no need to ruin his reputation.
But if it's just the added value of one of his sons' names, it's really worth weighing.
Who asked him to have more than one son? The younger sons, other than the eldest son, were originally allowed to work on their own. It would be best if they could make a lot of money. If they can't work out, don't expect the eldest son to work hard.
The decisive resource to save blood transfusion.
At worst, just pretend that you never gave birth to this extra son. It’s such a big deal, how new it is. (Please don’t read these sentences in Deyunshe’s tone)
In addition, except that Boss Li has been the "richest man in Asia" for many years.
Recently, Ding Sanshi, another man who was accidentally tricked by Gu Kun, strictly speaking, has a high status in later generations. He should have had the title of "richest man" originally.
Many netizens born in the 2000s have never experienced Ding Sanshi's glory days, that's just because the post-00s generation was not born yet when Ding Sanshi was at his strongest.
Even though Huang Yi later seemed to have re-emerged by representing World of Warcraft and even a bunch of netizens who made money, in terms of status in the world, Ding Sanshi's biggest highlight moment in his life was still in 2000.
Because when Ding Sanshi became rich again in later generations, others were already richer. If there was an old horse and a small horse stuck in front, comparison would be harmful. Who is Ding Sanshi?
However, at this juncture in history in 2000, there was a moment, which lasted for several months, when Ding Sanshi really occupied the title of "the richest man in mainland China".
During this period, Huang Yi was listed on Nasdaq and the Internet bubble was at its peak. It was not until two or three months later that the bubble completely burst and Huang Yi's stock price plunged. (The reason why Ding Sanshi's nominal personal assets are high is mainly because of Huang Yi's stock price.
When the company was founded, his personal shareholding was very high. It was 50% at the beginning. Later, it was financed several times. Until the IPO, it still held 20 to 30%. So even if Huang Yi’s total market value is not higher than Sohu’s
Xin Lang is too much higher, but Ding Sanshi’s personal nominal assets are still more than those of the other two bosses)
It's just that this period of time was too short, so many people who don't study history didn't pay much attention to it.
In any case, a young man with not very good academic qualifications, only 29 years old, is the kind of person who worked part-time for three years after graduating from college, started a business for another three years, and then suddenly became the richest man in mainland China.
.Such a life experience is almost the same as that of a reborn person or a child of a plane. It is not surprising that anyone dares to offend anyone who thinks he is destined.
According to this calculation, Gu Kun can be regarded as indirectly causing Boss Li, who could have regained the position of Asia's richest man, with a high probability to lose the opportunity to occupy the position of the richest man for several years again. (Boss Li will not be completely damaged by this business.
Bone. But the complete elimination of his second son’s property will cause his family to lose at least 20% of its family assets. After losing 20%, the rich man is still a rich man, but he is still a little behind the richest man.)
Gu Kun also indirectly caused a 29-year-old young entrepreneur who had the opportunity to become the richest man in mainland China in just a few months to completely and forever lose the possibility of temporarily enjoying the pleasure. Because Ding Sanshi only had to lower the Huang Yi by a few percent.
At the IPO underwriting price, Huang Yi's peak market value is destined to not be enough for Ding Sanshi to aspire to the mainland's richest list, even for a moment.
Invisibly, they killed the richest man twice.
If someone could know the original trajectory of history, I am afraid that the achievements of this building alone would be enough for future generations of historians to write about.
What's so awesome about the richest man? I'm the terminator of the richest man. If you don't kill him, you'll be fine. If you want to kill him, you have to kill him in pairs.
The wild richest man appeared alone and didn't even bother to take the knife.
…
After thoroughly understanding with Liang Jinsong the recent bloody turmoil in the Hong Kong Internet stock sector, Gu Kun's special plane almost landed at Kai Tak Airport.
As soon as the plane stopped, Gu Kun and Liang Jinsong got off the plane chatting and laughing. When they got off the plane, the ground pick-up staff had rented a luxury elevator ramp and temporarily painted it with a layer of gold paint. Gu Kun stepped on this new elevator
Getting off the plane——
The main reason is that in a poor place like Xiangjiang, gold-covered electric ramps for airplanes are not usually stocked. Those things are generally only available in Saudi Arabia all year round.
During the two hours the plane was in the air, the only way to prepare was to make a gold-free elevator and temporarily coat it with gold paint.
After Gu Kun got off the plane, the staff at Kai Tak Airport saw a shocking scene. A secretary, a hairy girl with the most stunning beauty in the world, commanded a group of black-suited bodyguards in a loud voice, and immediately took off the plane who had just been on the plane for a day.
All kinds of marble furniture are pushed down directly from the gangway.
The exquisite marble countertops painted by top Italian designers don't matter if they are smashed to pieces on the tarmac. They even pay ground crews to clean them up. If you are willing to pick them up, just pick them up.
"I heard that Mr. Gu came here this time to participate in the collateral auction with others invited by HSBC. Judging from this attitude, he must be generous." Several ground handling officials at Kai Tak Airport couldn't help but whisper when they saw this.
Such a arrogant gesture is obviously coming from a bad person.
"Who knows, every time Gu Kun comes in this capacity, nothing good seems to happen. When Soros was first defeated, didn't Boss Kong Shangzhong follow Soros into a pair of pants? He made a wrong bet and was destroyed by Gu Kun.
In the end, Boss Kong settled the matter on his own, and Gu Kun also attended the compulsory auction of his inheritance, but Gu Kun didn't take much action that time, and most of the chips were ignored."
"It's really amazing. Is Gu Kun the deadbeat star of HSBC? Every time, people from HSBC violated regulations and made the other party make repeated pledges and mortgages to make more loans. Then something happened to the aggressive lender, and the property
They were forced to auction the collateral. In the end, the auction was definitely not enough for the original loan amount, and the shortfall became dead debts for HSBC.
Not to mention Boss Kong, I heard that as early as five years ago, when Gu Kun first debuted, he had never been to Xiangjiang at that time. He was just a nouveau riche from Nanyang. But with that little energy, he went bankrupt.
A Shell agent from Lanfang and Brunei, apparently named Chen Mingcheng, was killed, along with senior executives of the HSBC Brunei branch and several related persons of Petronas."
"I heard that Boss Gu's parents died at the hands of the colonists. He has really been in trouble with the Bretons in his life. HSBC is a capital bank, and he has been tricked three times. It's really a knife-edge.
Damn it."
…
After arriving in Xiangjiang, Gu Kun stayed in the presidential suite at the Peninsula Hotel as usual.
There was no conversation all night, and no one gave him a female star to sleep with.
The next day, there was a forced auction by HSBC. However, because there were many subjects and the shares were more complicated, it was not in the form of a traditional auction, but more like a commercial bidding.
The auction methods for different subject matter are also different. One batch has an explicit bid, which means that each can increase the price at the auction, while the other batch has a hidden bid. You can't go back on your bid after you have made up your mind.
In short, which ones are explicitly marked and which ones are hidden, it all depends on what the people at HSBC think is more conducive to recovering more money.
In the first round, all bids were clearly marked, meaning you could raise the price at any time if you were not satisfied. However, the contents of the auction were fixed assets that could be split, and there were no securities assets such as company equity, so the scene was not very big.
Gu Kun didn't hold up the sign most of the time because he always felt that the current real estate prices in Xiangjiang were still too expensive.
So during this day's auction, he spent more time getting to know his peers and seeing which other buyers were attracted by HSBC.
After all, HSBC only had more than a week to prepare, so the number of potential buyers attracted in such a hurry should not be too many. But HSBC did not dare to wait any longer, because in the process of the ebb of Internet concept stocks that continue to lose blood,
If you wait one more week, the value of Yingke Digital and other stocks may drop further. Now it’s time to sell out as quickly as you can.
While secretly observing, Gu Kun accidentally discovered a difficult opponent.
"Why is the South African MIH also here? Or should I say, 'really' here?"
When he saw the appearance of a South African multinational company, Gu Kun was slightly alert.
MIH was a company that later bought many of Yingke's early venture capital projects during the ebb of Young Master Li's Yingke Digital.
The most famous one is the purchase of about 25% of Tengyun shares from Yingke. That incident should have happened in 2001, and Mr. Li sold it for US$26 million.
However, originally this matter should have appeared in the form of "Mr. Li realized that there was no hope for the end of the cold winter and took the initiative to sell." Now it turned out that Mr. Li died of premature liquidation and was forced to auction by HSBC Bank.
"Let's take a look at the situation. What's the purpose of those South African guys?" Gu Kun didn't want to overreact and decided to continue to observe and summarize in secret.
