Qiu Shuzhen immediately broke free and ran out, saying, "Bao Sheng, you're getting worse and worse."

As she was leaving, Qiu Shuzhen's voice came over: "By the way, Jardine Land is selling Prince's Building, Taikoo House, and Alexandra House."

After hearing this, Bao Junyi immediately became alert. Jardine Matheson Land was even planning to sell Prince's Building, Alexandra House and other properties. This meant that Jardine Matheson was in trouble overseas, and the trouble was not small.

Surprisingly, they even put their core assets up for sale.

Prince's Building and Swire House are office buildings located in the core business district of Central. They are also core industries of Hong Kong Holdings, and they play a role in commercial and retail industries in Central.

As for Alexandra House, it was just rebuilt in the 1970s. It is 36 stories high and is located in Central. It is connected to Prince's Building, Swire House, Mandarin Oriental Hotel and Connaught Building through an elevated walkway. It is also a core property of Hong Kong Holdings.

Now, Jardine Land is selling off its core assets in a package except for the Connaught Building (Jardine House) to cash in. It seems that it is really giving up Hong Kong and focusing on overseas businesses.

Bao Junyi picked up the landline phone and called Dong Haoyun.

A voice came over the phone: "Hello, who is this?"

"I'm Bao Junyi. Is Uncle Dong home?"

"Oh, it's Bao Sheng. The master is at home, in the study now. I'll transfer him there right away."

"Okay, thank you."

Two minutes later.

"Hey, Ayi, I heard from the housekeeper that you have something to talk to me about?"

"Uncle Dong, I need your help with something."

"Ayi, we are not outsiders, just tell me directly."

"Well, then, it's about Jardine Land."

Dong Haoyun smiled and said, "You mean Jardine Land is planning to sell three buildings? Do you want me to buy one for you?"

"Uncle Dong, if I buy a building, I won't ask you for help."

Dong Haoyun was shocked and said, "Ayi, do you want to buy all three buildings?"

"Uncle Dong, isn't it possible?"

"Isn't it rumored in Hong Kong that you have a funding problem? Where did you get so much money?"

"Uncle Dong, you said it was just a rumor. Rumors can't be trusted."

"Haha, you little brat, you're still trying to fool around with your Uncle Dong."

"Okay, I don't care where your money comes from. If you want me to bid for the three buildings, I will help you."

"But, you can come and sit with me when you have time. It's been a long time since you came to see me, an old man."

"Uncle Dong, it's my fault. I will definitely come to see you after I'm done with this."

"Well, give Dong Yu more guidance when you have time. He just separated from the family and went to the mainland and ran into a wall. He still needs your help."

Bao Junyi smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Dong Yu doesn't know much about the mainland. Next time I go there, I will take him with me."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Ayi."

"Uncle Dong, you're welcome."

"As for the funds for the auction of the three buildings, I will have the group allocate an account, and then the payment can be made directly through the account."

Bao Junyi and Dong Haoyun briefly discussed the details over the phone, including valuation and upper limit, and that Miracle Group would also be in attendance to serve as a cover.

The two chatted for more than an hour before they ended.

Bao Junyi fell into deep thought. Jardine Land is now only selling its three core buildings in exchange for working capital for overseas turnover, but it has not given up the Hong Kong market.

However, now that Miracle Group owns Wharf Holdings, its positioning is also real estate. Moreover, it owns a large amount of land and can completely lean towards a comprehensive model, such as the Wanda Group in later generations. Wanda Plaza is a one-stop shopping, entertainment and leisure experience place.

If you own office buildings and commercial complex properties in the core area of Central, you can become a "landlord" in Hong Kong.

Moreover, it is a stable cash flow, and the building is also a fixed asset, which can be mortgaged when funds are urgently needed. Moreover, the real estate in Hong Kong has soared in value later, and the money purchased in the early stage can be used as a basic living allowance.

In the end, Bao Junyi decided that Hong Kong's basic foundation must be further consolidated and improved before expanding outward, which would be safer.

After making the decision, Bao Junyi picked up the group's internal phone and called the Finance Department.

"Hello, I'm Bao Junyi. I'm asking your CEO Yuan, Yuan Tianfan, to come to my office."

"Okay, Baosheng."

Ten minutes later.

Yuan Tianfan hurried over and asked, "Mr. Bao, what's the urgent matter you want to talk to me about?"

"Old Yuan, I've decided on the basic framework for the group and want to expand into Hong Kong."

"Bao Sheng, what do you mean?"

"I decided to diversify the Miracle Group. Wharf Holdings had already established its position, but there was no suitable supporting company."

"So, we decided to take advantage of the market before Hutchison Whampoa reacted and take action against Qingzhou Cement and Kinmen Construction through the stock market."

"Sir Bao, now that the Governor's Office has been reformed, a hostile takeover won't be that easy."

"I know, isn't the controlling stake adjusted from 51% to 32% now, and the 5% shareholding mechanism publicized?"

"Baosheng, you know..."

Bao Junyi interrupted, "What I mean is, we should first buy some from the stock market, and then ask the major shareholders to buy it out at a high premium."

"If the secondary market doesn't work, we can go to the primary market."

"Mr. Bao, do you want to improve the Wharf ecosystem?"

"Yes, Wharf Holdings now owns a lot of land and steel materials, but it lacks good construction companies and cement factories."

Yuan Tianfan was speechless. Why did his boss like the ecological chain so much and was so afraid of being strangled by others? Was he so insecure?

Bao Junyi didn't know what Yuan Tianfan was complaining about in his heart. Even if he knew, he would be ignored. After all, he had experienced the US sanctions on China in the past, including chip sanctions, semiconductor sanctions, and high-end equipment sanctions.

Anyone who has experienced this will try to find ways to make up for their shortcomings and improve their company's ecosystem. Otherwise, they will be stuck everywhere, their market value will be halved in minutes, and they may even go bankrupt.

"Mr. Bao, if you take action against Qingzhou Yingmu and Kinmen Construction, the market will easily react."

"Because the market capitalization of the two companies is not high, and it is less than one-third of Jardine Matheson Land. If they make any big moves, they will be discovered by market institutions."

Bao Junyi pondered for a moment before saying, "The acquisition must be completed within six months, and the minimum required is 25% of the shares, which is higher than the largest shareholder of the two companies."

"Bao Sheng, that's no problem."

Bao Junyi discussed some details before Yuan Tianfan finished and left.

......

At this time, it is located at No. 79 Deep Water Bay, Hong Kong.

Li Jiacheng was in the garden pavilion, drinking freshly brewed tea and looking at the sea in the distance. I wonder what he was thinking about now?

Suddenly, Li Jiacheng said to the housekeeper, "Please contact Mr. Shenbi for me and arrange for morning tea at the Peninsula Hotel."

"Yes, sir."

Mrs. Li Jiacheng, Zhuang Yueming, had a good relationship with Mrs. Chen Bi. After two years of operation, she used this relationship to obtain the reconstruction project of Jardine House (Kangle Building) two years ago and made a fortune.

The appearance of Bao Junyi disrupted his layout in Hutchison Whampoa and Hutchison Whampoa, and his development was hindered everywhere.
