Chapter 170 One of the top 500 in the world

All well-known universities in Hong Kong jointly proposed a science and industrial park plan to the British Hong Kong government. This incident immediately caused a huge shock.

The incident was reported on the front pages of Hong Kong media and newspapers.

Hong Kong citizens are even talking about it, especially it has received widespread approval and support from Hong Kong university students.

Many students even spontaneously organized demonstrations on the streets, demanding that the British Hong Kong government establish a science and industrial park. They pulled long red banners and shouted: "Hong Kong's economy cannot rely on real estate and finance, manufacturing and high technology are the direction of future development!"

“Crack the wall to support the science and industrial park plan!”

"Taiwan has built the Hsinchu Science and Industrial Park, and its economic transformation has achieved remarkable results, but Hong Kong has yet to take action!"

"..."

It didn’t take long for many technology companies and manufacturing companies to join in. Even real estate companies were cheering for it. Because of the construction of the Science Industrial Park, real estate companies had something to do...

Since Hong Kong will return to China sooner or later, the British Hong Kong government originally did not intend to control Hong Kong and let it fend for itself. However, the current trend of public opinion forced the British Hong Kong government to make a decision. At this time, the Chinese side expressed support for the establishment of the Science and Industrial Park and Send professionals to communicate with the British Hong Kong government.

At the Hong Kong headquarters of HSBC Bank, Shen Bi, Wang Wang and others looked serious.

"I didn't expect that Chronos Li could be so tough. He even united all the universities in Hong Kong to ask the British Hong Kong government to establish a scientific industrial park, and proposed the advanced concept of 'industry-university-research'! It seems that he is preparing to enter Hong Kong in a big way and let Microsoft, Companies such as Intel and Flamingo came to the Science Industrial Park to establish branches in order to take advantage of Hong Kong's scientific and technological talents! Once the Science Industrial Park is completed, it is not difficult to imagine how much influence Li Zetian will have in Hong Kong!!!" Shen Bi Said in a deep voice.

The charter king nodded and said with emotion: "Yes! It can be said that a hero comes from a young man. The future of Hong Kong belongs to this young man. We are all old!"

Shen Bi said: "People from all walks of life support the establishment of a science industrial park in Hong Kong, and the British Hong Kong government has to seriously consider this matter. Based on the current situation, I am sure that the British Hong Kong government will eventually approve the plan to establish a science industrial park!"

After finishing speaking, the conference room fell into a brief silence.

After a while, someone suddenly broke the silence: "So, we should sell the shares of Hutchison Whampoa to Chronos Li, right?!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Yes, it must be like this!"

…

The Charter King stopped speaking for Li Jiacheng at this time, and he also knew that even speaking for Li Jiacheng was useless, as most people wanted to please Li Zetian.

Obviously, for HSBC, Li Zetian is more valuable than Li Jiacheng.

Shen Bi said at this time: "Well, then I will contact Chronos Li again."

After the meeting, Shen Bi immediately called Li Zetian and invited him to meet.

Li Zetian readily agreed.

They met at the five-star hotel last time. After the two sat down, Li Zetian smiled meaningfully and asked knowingly: "Mr. Shen, what do you want to see me for?"

"Mr. Li, it's the thing you mentioned last time..."

"Oh, it's about acquiring shares in Hutchison Whampoa. So I guess HSBC is sincere this time?"

Shen Bi nodded, "Yes."

Li Zetian took a sip of water and said calmly: "What kind of price is HSBC planning to offer this time?"

"7 Hong Kong dollars per share!" Shen Bi replied that the price had been decided at the HSBC board of directors. Shen Bi guessed that Li Zetian might know the price HSBC gave Li Jiacheng, so he did not dare to deceive him again.

Upon hearing this price, Li Zetian was very satisfied. It was less than half of Hutchison Whampoa's share price. He calculated in his mind that HSBC held 22.4% of the shares. He could buy it for only HK$620 million, which could be converted into US dollars. , which is more than 100 million US dollars, which is a huge bargain! ! !

Li Zetian asked: "I accept this price, when can I sign the agreement?"

Shen Bi smiled and said, "You can do it anytime."

"Let's do it today, I can raise the funds in three days!" Li Zetian said, signing the contract first to avoid long nights and dreams. Roche Pharmaceuticals and Netflix have a lot of cash flow, and Flamingo Company has made a lot of money. More than 100 million US dollars is not difficult for Li Zetian.

Shen Bi nodded and said, "Okay, then sign the contract today!"

So, Li Zetian went to HSBC Bank with Shen Bi, and then the two signed a share transfer agreement.

After Li Zetian signed the contract, he smiled and said favorably to Shen Bi: "Mr. Shen, after the Hong Kong Science and Industry Park is completed, I will establish multiple branches and multiple Asian experimental centers in Hong Kong. I hope HSBC can take care of it!"

"Of course, no problem. HSBC will be your strategic partner and is willing to serve you wholeheartedly!" Shen Bi smiled cordially, "Mr. Li, it's still early, are you interested in going to see Marseille? You know, Hong Kong people love horse racing the most. If you go, I can invite you to join the Hong Kong Jockey Club. I am one of the directors of the Hong Kong Jockey Club."

People of Li Zetian's level have naturally heard of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, a private club established in 1884 that has grown to become one of the largest and most exclusive membership clubs in Asia. Hong Kong's top richest people, high-ranking officials and presidents of well-known universities, etc. are all members of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. If you are not a member of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, it means that you are not doing well enough in Hong Kong and are not qualified to enter Hong Kong's upper class society. Members who apply for membership must be recommended by selected members. The Jockey Club has a total of 200 selected members, and there is a limit on the number of recommended members each year. In addition to owning competition horses, members can also enjoy horseback riding in the comfortable environment of the Beas River Country Club.

As a director of the Jockey Club, Shen Bi is naturally one of the selected members.

"Mr. Shen, I can't ride a horse?"

"Horse riding is very simple. The horses will have top riders and they will teach you carefully."

"Well, let's go!" Li Zetian agreed happily. To be honest, he really wanted to learn how to ride a horse. The thought of riding a horse on the grassland, you are like the wind and I am like the sand, is very exciting!

Then, Li Zetian and Shen Bi went to the Hong Kong Jockey Club, and Dongfang Yuqin, as Li Zetian's secretary, also went with them.

The staff of the Hong Kong Jockey Club seemed very surprised by Li Zetian's arrival, and they quickly applied for him as a member. If Li Zetian was not qualified to become a member of the Jockey Club, no one in the world would be able to become a member of the club.

Li Zetian couldn't even ride a horse, so he had no interest in Marseille at all. It's like playing LOL. People who don't understand LOL will naturally not understand the excitement and find it boring.

So Shen Bi accompanied Li Zetian to the horse training ground and found him a top rider to teach him riding skills.

With the master's step-by-step instruction, Li Zetian naturally learned quickly, and he was able to gallop on his horse in a short time. Of course, the word "gallop" may not be accurate because the riding speed is very slow. However, even so, Li Zetian was already very excited and felt that he was cool.

The air above is fresh and the view is wide, which really gives people a unique feeling.

At this time, Shen Bi rode a snow-white horse to Li Zetian's side. Li Zetian couldn't help but be attracted by his horse. It was a tall and strong purebred white horse with strong limbs and clear bones. It was better than the horse under him. Dark Horse is much better.

"Mr. Li, this is my BMW Harris. I bought it for HK$2.5 million. What do you think of it?" Shen Bi said with a smile.

"Very handsome and a good horse!"

"Mr. Li, if you want it, I can transfer it to you."

"No, a gentleman will not take away someone's love." Li Zetian shook his head and said.

"Well, if there are good horses for sale at the Jockey Club, I will notify you then!"

"Yeah." Li Zetian nodded. He really wanted to buy some good horses.

The two slowed down and walked for a while.

At this time, Li Zetian discovered that Li Jiacheng had also come to the Jockey Club.

Li Jiacheng knew that Li Zetian also wanted to acquire the shares of Hutchison Whampoa Company, but he did not know that Li Zetian had already signed an agreement with HSBC. At this time, when he saw that Li Zetian and Shen Bi were chatting happily, his face suddenly changed, and his heart gradually sank. .

Shen Bi looked slightly embarrassed. He had originally promised Li Jiacheng in private that he would sell Hutchison Whampoa's shares to him, but he changed his mind.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Mr. Li, Mr. Shen, hello!" Li Jiacheng said with a smile on his face.

Li Zetian was secretly happy and said with a smile: "I just signed a contract with Mr. Shen and I am in a happy mood, so I came to the Jockey Club to play for a while."

Signed the contract? !

Could it be the share sale contract of Hutchison Whampoa?

Li Jiacheng looked at Shen Bi with questioning eyes. Shen Bi looked away and turned his head to the side. When Li Jiacheng saw him like this, he knew what was going on. I tried so hard to acquire the shares of Hutchison Whampoa from HSBC, but in the end it all came to nothing. This feeling is simply difficult to describe in words!

However, Li Zetian still admired the self-control of Li Jiacheng's Ninja Turtles. They actually didn't get angry in front of him and just pretended to be nonchalant.

"Keep your breath in your stomach, don't hold it in and damage your body! This shopping mall is like a battlefield, but you can't blame me..." Li Zetian chuckled in his heart, and then told them that he was going to practice riding, and then drove The black horse runs in circles on the racecourse.

Half an hour later, Li Zetian finished his horse riding. He thought that the purpose of coming to Hong Kong this time was basically completed. He bought the shares of Hutchison Whampoa Company and became the largest shareholder. In the future, with the prosperity and development of Hong Kong's economy and the global economy , Hutchison Whampoa's value is rising steadily, ranking more than 300 among the world's top 500 companies. I have to say that this bargain is worth it!

What other companies are next?

Li Jiacheng later also controlled the Hong Kong Electric Light Company, which monopolized Hong Kong's electricity, and the Hong Kong Telecommunications Company, which monopolized Hong Kong's telecommunications business. Uh, okay, these two companies are also very valuable, so just wait for me to acquire them in the future!

Li Zetian gave Li Jiacheng a meaningful smile and left.

Early the next morning, Li Zetian reported to Hutchison Whampoa Company, and then held a board meeting, making himself the chairman of the board of directors of Hutchison Whampoa Company. He emphasized that the company's business should be vigorously developed in container terminals, retail chains, real estate development and infrastructure business. , actively explore the international market!

The Hong Kong Science and Industrial Park will not be built overnight. As long as it gets started, things will be easier to do. Li Zetian obviously did not have the time to stay here and talk to the Hong Kong government. He had his own professionals to deal with the government, but he would always pay attention to the situation here in the United States... So Li Zetian said goodbye to his parents and took a plane to fly back to the United States.

PS: I don’t have anything to do tomorrow, so try your best to code, don’t be lazy! ! ! Well, I say this to myself...
