Chapter 330 The Uncrowned King (Finished!)
At night, luxurious houses are hidden on the top of Victoria Peak, with lights flickering and laughter mingling with the sounds.
No one would refuse Qi Sheng's invitation to a dinner party.
The four major families all sent people to participate, and they were the current heads of each family and even the future successors.
Although Qi Sheng was not familiar with them, he could not resist their enthusiastic self-introductions, and they did not underestimate Qi Sheng, the super rich man from the mainland.
Come to think of it, Hong Kong’s GDP is only 1/5 of Guangdong’s.
Even the former Superman Li had a net worth of only over 30 billion US dollars.
But how can this wealth be compared with Qi Sheng?
The market value of Lawang, which is about to go public, is expected to exceed 150 billion US dollars, and Qi Sheng, as the largest shareholder, holds 81.22% of the shares.
Even taking into account the dilution of shares after the listing, Qi Sheng's wealth still skyrocketed by 100 billion US dollars.
How exaggerated?
Not to mention Superman Li, even if the four major families of Hong Kong Island were combined, they might not be as wealthy as Qi Sheng.
"Mr. Qi, I am Li Jiacheng from the Henderson Group. I am honored to be invited to your dinner."
Li Jiacheng is none other than Li Zhaoji's youngest son and the current head of the Henderson Land Development.
"Mr. Li, you are very polite. I also want to thank you for your willingness to cede 35 Barker Road."
Qi Sheng looked at the well-mannered man in front of him, who was wearing a black suit, a slicked-back hair, and black-framed glasses, and immediately recognized him as a good match.
"You're too polite. My father is old and he misses the old house. It would be a waste to leave the villa on Barker Road empty. It's better to help them."
Li Jiacheng has maintained himself very well. Although he is 50 years old, he doesn't look old at all.
Qi Sheng had heard of the second son of the Li family.
With Zhou Fu, a professional local butler, Qi Sheng also more or less learned about some of the dirty tricks within the four major families in Hong Kong Island.
Just like the Henderson Land Development, on the surface, the two brothers Li Jiacheng and Li Jiajie are responsible for Hong Kong Island, one is responsible for the mainland.
The seemingly fair distribution actually hides a preference for Li Jiacheng.
Since Li Jiacheng and Li Jiajie took over smoothly, Henderson Land Group's investment in the mainland has gradually decreased.
On the contrary, Hong Kong Island has been frequently and generously acquiring land, and the amount of land reserves is the largest among the four major families.
In this situation, anyone with a discerning eye can see who will take over the Henderson Land Development in the future.
"No matter what, I still want to thank Mr. Li."
Qi Sheng could naturally sense Li Jiacheng's good intentions, and he smiled and clinked his champagne glass with the other party.
"Mr. Qi, if you don't mind, I can introduce these guests to you. Some of them have business cooperation with you."
Li Jiacheng acted as a middleman and introduced some guests with special identities to Qi Sheng.
For example, Zheng Zhigang, the heir of New World and Chow Tai Fook Group, is a short, bearded man who is the third-generation heir of the Zheng family, one of the four major families in Hong Kong Island.
Qi Sheng had an impression of Zheng Zhigang. This guy was still using a short video account in China and had millions of fans.
The K11 shopping mall, which is relatively famous in China, is a brand founded by Zheng Zhigang.
Unlike Li Jiacheng, Zheng Zhigang is very optimistic about the mainland, and New World has also been frequently acquiring land in the mainland.
"Mr. Qi, nice to meet you."
Zheng Zhigang had indeed heard of Qi Sheng for a long time, but he had never had the chance to meet him.
The K11 he founded is also a high-end shopping mall.
Since we are going for the high-end market, we cannot avoid luxury brands.
It just so happened that Misia, owned by Qi Sheng, is one of the top three giants in the luxury goods industry. Its many brands have very high traffic, which can better set off the style of the shopping mall.
Therefore, Zheng Zhigang was very enthusiastic towards Qi Sheng and even took the initiative to hand him his business card, hoping to have a chance to talk in detail alone.
Qi Sheng took the business card with a smile but didn't give a definite answer.
Mainly, Misia also wants to be a high-end shopping mall.
In Qi Sheng’s plan, in the future Misia will become a one-stop luxury shopping center, with all the brands under the group settled in.
As for whether this would be very expensive? The last thing Qi Sheng lacked was money.
Qi Sheng not only has money, but also has resources for luxury brands. He has all the conditions to run a high-end shopping mall.
In addition to Zheng Zhigang, there are several other heirs with unusual identities, such as Li Sedak, the granddaughter of Li Chaoren, and Guo Haoli, the heir of the Sun Hung Kai Group.
The older generation’s Li Chaoren, Li Zhaoji, are both over 90 years old and have long lost the energy to manage the company. They just want to live a few more years.
After a dinner party, I received a lot of business cards.
After seeing off the last guest, Qi Sheng decided not to hold such a difficult and inconvenient banquet again.
However, this dinner was not without benefits.
Not only Li Jiacheng of Henderson Land Development, but also Guo Haoli of Sun Hung Kai Properties, all expressed their willingness to purchase some shares of La Wang.
He wanted to both support La Wang and befriend Qi Sheng.
Who made Qi Sheng the fierce dragon crossing the river, bringing the spicy king with him a trillion-dollar market value potential and coming to Hong Kong Island with force?
As a local family, they didn't dare to offend them and could only find ways to make friends with them.
…
Half a month later, Lawang successfully landed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Qi Sheng did not show up at the gong-ringing ceremony.
The previous Pop Mart had already made him famous.
Fortunately, Qi Sheng bought Weibo later, which minimized his influence.
This time, Lawang’s launch is different from Pop Mart.
If the market value of Lawang exceeds one trillion, Qi Sheng will instantly be able to squeeze out Lao Ma and become the new richest man in China.
Just as Qi Sheng expected, Lawang's stock price saw a surge at the opening, and by the closing it had stabilized at HK$1.1 trillion.
Converted into RMB, it is just over one trillion! Compared with the IPO price of 700 billion, the stock price has increased by almost half.
Almost as the market closed, Qi Sheng's phone started to ring again, all with congratulations.
Especially a few shareholders, each of them was eager to announce it to the world.
Even He Jing from Temasek made a special call to congratulate Qi Sheng. They talked for almost an hour, which was a rare event. It can be seen how surprised the other party was.
Originally, Temasek invested in Lawang at a valuation of US$50 billion in the C round, which was considered by many to be too high.
Now the net profit is 2 times, which makes He Jing very proud! Even Temasek has made little profit, after all, they entered the market too late.
Black Ant and Sequoia, the earliest investors, received much higher returns on their investments than Temasek.
Their shareholdings after listing were 4.01% and 4.97% respectively.
The total investment was only US$230 million and US$420 million, but the stocks obtained were worth US$6.015 billion and US$7.455 billion respectively.
A return rate of nearly 30 times is not too scary.
Such amazing returns are enough to make them a classic case that is talked about in the investment circle.
Apart from anything else, Black Ant Capital's new round of fundraising went exceptionally smoothly.
This order alone is enough to make the investors behind them smile from ear to ear.
…
This time when Qi Sheng returned home, he could finally have some peace and quiet for a while.
Coincidentally, Tan Huan’s due date is approaching.
Qi Sheng acquired a local private obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Chengdu early on, and recruited an obstetrics and gynecology team composed of expert talents. The doctor who performed the operation was a master doctor.
Li Hua is the leader of this team.
Although Qi Sheng knew very well that there would be no problem for Tan Huan, who had a perfect physique, to give birth to a child.
But seeing his parents muttering to themselves and moving around anxiously made him a little nervous.
Fortunately, Li Hua did not let him down and completed the operation very smoothly. When Qi Sheng heard the baby crying from inside, the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
Not long after, the nurse came out holding an ugly baby and reported with a happy face: "Boss, your wife has given birth to a boy!"
"Okay, you guys go get the red envelope later."
Qi Sheng was very pleased and smiled as he took the child in his hands and hugged him.
Zhu Min next to him was even more excited. He kept muttering "God bless you" and carefully took his grandson who couldn't even open his eyes.
"Oh, this child is so pretty!"
"Yeah, that goes without saying!"
Seeing the old couple bragging about themselves, Qi Sheng held his forehead helplessly: "It's just been born, its eyes haven't even opened yet, and you two know how good it looks?"
"Nonsense, you and Huanhuan are so good-looking, how could the child you give birth to be ugly?"
Zhu Min glanced at Qi Sheng and reluctantly handed the little guy to the nurse.
When Tan Huan was pushed out by the nurse, although she looked a little tired, she could not hide the joy in her eyes.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After waiting for so long, this little guy finally came.
Now, she and Qi Sheng have had their wedding, obtained their marriage certificate, and have a child.
It can be said that Tan Huan has absolutely no regrets.
What's more, Qi Sheng has built an amazing fortune for their children.
It is no exaggeration to say that this little guy has absolutely maxed out his reincarnation skills.
When he grows up, all the principals like Wang will step aside and will not even be worthy of carrying his shoes.
How could a mere son of the former richest man have a status as noble as this little guy will have in the future?
"Hubby, you haven't named the child yet!"
Tan Huan thought of the important matter and looked at Qi Sheng with anticipation.
"Well...just call him Qi Jianchuan."
Qi Sheng already had an idea in mind and came up with a good name.
"See Chuan?"
Tan Huan repeated it, somewhat curiously: "Why is it called this name?"
"We officially established our relationship in Sichuan Province, which is also the birthplace of my career. Even if our family moves overseas in the future, I hope this little guy won't forget where his roots are."
Qi Sheng held Tan Hua's hand and said with a smile, "I hope he can learn from more outstanding people when he grows up and pass on our family in a stable and orderly manner."
"Yes, I will!"
Tan Huan couldn't help but smile sweetly when she thought about her son growing up and gradually becoming independent and able to share Qi Sheng's worries.
"Okay, go and rest first."
Qi Sheng patted Tan Huan's hand and could feel that she was very tired.
"Well, I have a nurse here to take care of me, so you don't have to stay with me."
Tan Huan was indeed a little tired, and subconsciously didn't want Qi Sheng to worry about her too much.
"How can that be possible? If he, as your father, doesn't accompany you, where else can he go?"
Without waiting for Qi Sheng to speak, Zhu Min made the decision.
When they arrived at the VIP ward, Tan Huan was the only one there.
After all, it is a private hospital, and it is a ward prepared for the boss's wife, so it must have the largest environment and area.
After a while, Tan Huan fell asleep exhausted.
When I woke up again, I saw a group of people with bulging bellies.
"Hwanwan, are you awake?"
"Wow, the little guy is so cute, but why is he a little ugly?"
"How stupid! All newborns are like this. They grow up quickly."
"I haven't given birth to a child."
“…”
A group of women chattered around Tan Huan, staring at her and the little guy as if they were giant pandas.
"Okay, don't disturb Huanhuan. When Huanhuan comes home in a while, you'll have plenty of time to watch it every day."
Zhu Min had no choice but to walk out, as he could do nothing about these pregnant daughters-in-law.
But in her heart, she still has a special feeling for Tan Huan.
After all, this is the first daughter-in-law Qi Sheng brought home.
What's more, Tan Huan was very proud of herself and gave birth to a son.
In Zhu Min's view, this eldest grandson will be the heir to his son's family business in the future.
Zhu Min had always been partial to Tan Huan, so naturally he doted on his first grandson out of his love for her.
…
Since Tan Huan gave birth to the child, Qi Sheng's other girlfriends also gave birth to children one after another.
For a moment, Qi Sheng became a super dad.
All over Fort St. Louis, all kinds of wailing could be heard.
Fortunately, other residents live far away, otherwise it would be easy to complain about their family for disturbing others.
Seeing that all the sisters had given birth to a group of children, Gu Pan, who had just won the Best Actress Award at the Magnolia Awards not long ago, joined forces with Reba and others to coerce and bribe Qi Sheng to treat them equally.
Qi Sheng, who has the ability to hit the target every time, did not disappoint Gu Pan and the others.
After confirming that they were pregnant, Gu Pan and the others began to make arrangements for the birth of their baby in an orderly manner.
Many TV dramas and movies that were originally planned to be filmed were generously given to other actresses.
They know clearly what is important and what is not.
Whether or not she is pregnant, she will be rewarded with a trust fund of 1 billion yuan.
Or maybe Qi Sheng's huge fortune, when divided into every corner, would amount to an astronomical figure that ordinary people could not imagine.
In addition to becoming a father again, the companies under Qi Sheng's name are also making very encouraging progress.
Zhuangyu Catering has opened restaurants overseas, and with the help of Banyan Tree and Four Seasons Hotel as springboards, many foreigners have truly felt the magic of Chinese cuisine.
Qi Sheng, who was not short of money, invested in acquiring Hilton and Marriott, adding more luxury hotel brands to the Banyan Tree Group.
In addition, with the help of Qi Sheng's funds, Misia completed the acquisition of Kering Group and even incorporated Chanel into its group.
With a number of luxury brands and a revenue growth buff, Misia's performance is so good that the LVMH Group is jealous.
The airport, roads, ports and docks on Lanai were all built very smoothly.
In just five years, Lanai has undergone tremendous changes.
Thanks to the talents recruited through the system, Lanai Island has become the most dazzling pearl in the Hawaiian Islands.
After the Qi family moved to Lanai, many Russian tycoons, led by Abramovich, also obtained immigration status and invested heavily on the island.
After Qi Sheng left the country, he led his family to settle down on Lanai Island.
He also sold shares in many domestic companies. Part of the cash was used on Lanai Island, but most of it was continued to be invested in the country.
After multiple investments, Jinshi Capital has become the world's top private equity capital, with funds under its control calculated in hundreds of billions of US dollars, and the Qi family has invested the largest amount.
With the dual support of Qisheng's funds and systematic talent, Jinshi Capital has become a sovereign fund that is no less powerful than Temasek.
To Qi Sheng, wealth is really just a string of numbers.
As Lanai's population grows, it's approaching 2 million.
Qi Sheng is not only rich, but also the uncrowned king of the Hawaiian Islands! (End of this chapter)
