Although Bryan has not explicitly suppressed companies that invest in the mainland, some actions are enough to show his attitude.
In the government's first land auction after the Spring Festival, the main land parcels were all in Shatin. The purpose was very clear, which was to follow MacLehose's approach and focus on supporting Cheung Kong, Hang Lung, Shun Tak, Jardine and Swire.
Don’t underestimate this impact. Currently, Hang Lung’s market value has surpassed that of Sun Hung Kai. If you don’t count Wharf, Wheelock Land and Hutchison Land, Hang Lung has ranked first among listed Chinese real estate companies, with a market value of more than HK$2.8 billion.
The market value of Cheung Kong has also soared, and is close to Sun Hung Kai Properties, with a market value of more than 2.1 billion Hong Kong dollars. You must know that the market value of Cheung Kong was only more than 500 million Hong Kong dollars.
Li Jianhui, who could not rely on the government, had no choice but to boost the popularity of Tseung Kwan O and Tin Shui Wai. On the day he received the approval from the Film, Television and Communication University, he asked Guan Jiahui to hold a press conference on behalf of the Yanjian Department.
With many headquarters of the Xinjian Group in Tseung Kwan O, and with the addition of Guanghua Jianye, the Xinhui Group will also come to establish their headquarters. Li Jianhui is not worried about the development here.
Tin Shui Wai is far away from the city, and the supporting facilities are not enough. In addition, the Tian Shui City project is too large, so he is currently placing the project in Tin Shui Wai as much as possible.
As the first privately founded university in Hong Kong that can award degrees, the University of Film, Television and Communication will be built in Tin Shui Wai, which immediately attracted the attention of many interested people.
At the same time, Li Jianhui's eldest brother Li Jianyang also completed the company registration, under the name Minglin, and mainly made clothing for mid-to-high-end consumer groups, especially women.
Li Jianhui himself also established a sports and leisure clothing company, Hongyu Clothing, which is why he wanted to add a sports channel, mainly to promote his brand.
The design and trial production bases of these two companies are also located in Tin Shui Wai, and were announced by Guan Jiahui and Xiangjiang Film and Television Communication University.
The current situation in Xiangjiang has caused a lot of discussion among the melon-eating people. As long as there is no problem with IQ, it can be seen that the Xiangjiang government is not very interested in the Xinjian clique.
Both Tseung Kwan O and Tin Shui Wai have a pretty good foundation. The two major industrial parks are here, providing many local jobs.
It stands to reason that the government should give priority to the development of these two areas, but neither the late MacLehose government nor the Bryan government had any intention of paying attention to these two areas, and instead focused on the development of Sha Tin.
It seems that the government is not suppressing the Xin Jian Department, otherwise it would not be possible for the Xin Jian Department to establish the first private university in Hong Kong.
And it is still a university that can issue degrees. You must know that this degree is recognized by Hong Kong and even many countries in the Commonwealth. It is no different from other universities. This is not something that ordinary forces can do.
This has also led to the differentiation of financial institutions and investors. Most people have chosen to invest heavily in the stocks of Hang Lung, Cheung Kong, Jardine Matheson, Swire and other companies, while only a small number of institutions and investors have chosen to invest heavily in the shares of Xinjian and its allies.
From here we can also see the gap between those with government support and those without. Even if the Yan Kin Department provides a large number of jobs to the Tseung Kwan O and Tin Shui Wai areas, it still cannot compare with government support.
In the eyes of most investors, Shatin, with full government support, is the new center of Xiangjiang. With the improvement of primary and secondary schools, hospitals and other supporting facilities there, a large number of urban residents will be attracted to settle there.
Although there is the Tin Shui Industrial Park in Tin Shui Wai, and the Xin Jian Group and its allies continue to increase investment in building factories and adding jobs, the transportation connection to the urban area is not very good. Even if the Tai Lam Tunnel is opened to traffic, the transportation convenience will not be very good.
Far from comparable to Shatin.
Although they admire Xin Jianxi's approach of doing it without government support, building it by themselves if transportation is not convenient, building it by themselves if education is not good, and investing by themselves if medical care is not good, they don't think this can last long.
The funds needed for the Tin Shui Wai Tseung Kwan O project, and the rapid expansion of the Xinjian Department outside, continue to increase basic investment in the two places, many investors are worried that if there is a problem in the capital chain of the Xinjian Department, it may collapse.
Li Jianhui doesn't care at all about the market's reaction. Instead, he is thinking about how to spend his huge funds.
At present, several major groups have already conducted one round of additional financing. He has no plans to conduct a second round in the short term. Too frequent financing will only arouse suspicion from the outside world.
After leaving 5 billion U.S. dollars to Blue Feng Investment Company and another 2 billion U.S. dollars each to eight investment companies including Yuntao and Xingsha, Li Jianhui still has more than 18 billion U.S. dollars in hand.
Zhou Jiayi, who was standing next to her, smiled and said, "Other people wish they had more money, but you are actually worried about having too much money and not knowing how to spend it."
As an elite who has studied abroad, Zhou Jiayi is definitely qualified for a high position. Unlike Chen Yulian and Guan Jiahui, these two can only go to university for further studies and are still far from being truly qualified for their positions.
She suggested: “At present, it is mainly because our company on the surface cannot continue to raise funds, but we can control it through funds in the dark.
Aren’t you obsessed with the automobile industry? I think we can add another fund in Bermuda to acquire the British automobile industry, and this fund specializes in investing in the upstream and downstream automobile industries.
In addition, a fund will be established to mainly invest in the sports industry, such as the four major football teams in the United States, Serie A, English League One, etc., including extended fitness equipment, sporting goods, etc.
There are also electronic semiconductors, especially chip technologies, which our Huihong Group has put on the table. Everyone knows that it is our company, so there are some difficulties in technology acquisition.
But we can completely use a Cayman Islands fund to establish an investment company in the UK and use this investment company to enter the semiconductor industry, so that it will be much easier for us to enter this industry."
And Zhou Jiayi hopes that Li Jianhui can leave at least 10 billion US dollars as working capital to ensure that the Xin Jian Department's capital chain will not be broken and to resist possible risks.
In a few decades, 10 billion U.S. dollars of liquidity will be nothing at all. According to some news that Li Jianhui saw in his previous life, when companies such as Apple and Google were at their peak, the company's liquidity reached hundreds of billions of dollars. Li Chaoren's liquidity
It’s also hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars.
But in this era, 10 billion U.S. dollars of liquidity is absolutely terrifying. You must know that many countries currently have less than 10 billion U.S. dollars in foreign exchange reserves. Regardless of Hong Kong or the Mainland, the current foreign exchange reserves are only tens of billions of U.S. dollars.
Li Jianhui did not make an immediate decision. Firstly, he did not have many people he could safely use, and secondly, he also wanted to take another look at the attitude of the British government.
Zhou Jiayi was right in thinking about business. Xin Jian was openly focusing on Hong Kong, but secretly building another center in London.
In this way, no matter how the situation changes, the Xin Jian Department will be able to deal with it calmly without being completely wiped out.
But there is another premise, that is, the British government does not specifically target the Xin Jian faction, which Li Jianhui cannot yet judge.
However, Li Jianhui already has some ideas deep in his heart, which may give him greater room for manipulation.
It's just that he still needs to think about it, and that will have a lot of consequences. He doesn't want his descendants to be hostile to the market in the future.
