In the back seat of the Cadillac Seville, Mo Zhexuan and Wang Pengfei smoked cigars and analyzed the foreseeable personnel turmoil in the Jardine Matheson Group in the future.
"Newwall's strategy of Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land each holding a 40% stake in the other is to ensure that control cannot be easily replaced."
"But now they have shot themselves in the foot. Jardine Matheson Group has been dragged down by Hong Kong Land Development, and its profit margins will surely plummet. Its resignation is a foregone conclusion..."
Mo Zhexuan flicked the ash into the chrome ashtray on the right car door. His face was slightly flushed, but his mind was exceptionally clear.
"Even if the Keswick family took over again, it would be very difficult for the Jardine Matheson Group to raise a huge amount of funds to repay the debt of Hong Kong Land Development in the short term. Sooner or later, they would have to sell assets to repay the debt."
Wang Pengfei has carefully analyzed Hong Kong's economic situation in the next few years, and the two countries are still in negotiations.
It may not be easy to reach an agreement in the short term, which will cause Hong Kong's economy to continue to deteriorate, and the real estate industry will definitely be the first to suffer a major decline.
Since ancient times, "danger" and "opportunity" have coexisted in economic crises. When some companies fall, other companies will naturally stand up again. The important thing is to seize the opportunity of reshuffle, become bigger and stronger, and create glory again.
After analyzing the various industries under the Jardine Matheson Group in his mind, he suddenly had an idea. After throwing the empty cigar into the chrome ashtray on the left door, he spoke solemnly:
"Mr. Mo! In order to avoid bankruptcy of Hong Kong Land Development, the Jardine Matheson Group will definitely sell other non-core assets and businesses to raise funds. I think this is our opportunity."
"Tell me your opinion in detail." Mo Zhexuan raised the corners of his mouth, a smile appeared on his face, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
“Among the non-core assets and businesses of the Jardine Matheson Group, I believe the value of Hong Kong Electric Company is the greatest.
Once we take it over, we will not only be able to complement the resources of the China Gas Company, but we will also be able to control Hong Kong's electricity and gas supply, and from then on we will have a steady stream of cash flow..."
Wang Pengfei thought for a while before expressing his idea, which was to take over the Hong Kong Electric Company from the Jardine Matheson Group.
"Hahaha..." Mo Zhexuan laughed loudly for a while, then slowly explained, "Great minds think alike!"
The huge gold mine of Hong Kong Electric Company could not be given up at any cost, and he was bound to fight with Li Ka-shing, who would later become the richest man in the country.
After acquiring the Hong Kong Electric Company, Li Ka-shing, the richest man in his former life, raised Hong Kong's electricity prices seven times within ten years. The increase in electricity prices alone brought him a profit of over 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. He really made money without doing anything.
There is a rumor that is very credible. Li Ka-shing's largest chain stores, Watsons and ParknShop, control nearly 70% of Hong Kong's retail market.
A famous foreign supermarket giant was determined to enter Hong Kong's retail market. After a market survey, it found that almost all office buildings and shopping malls in Hong Kong's core areas were owned by Li Ka-shing.
In the end, the supermarket gritted its teeth and rented Li Jiacheng's property. After opening, it became an instant hit with its low prices and high-quality services.
Just when we were about to continue expanding, we found that the water and electricity were often cut off for no reason. What was even more disgusting was that sometimes trucks could not enter the mall to unload goods, and the security guards always made things difficult for no reason. After persisting for a few months, we had no choice but to announce the closure.
The Hong Kong retail market has thus become a forbidden area for international retail giants, and Walmart, Carrefour and others dare not set foot there.
Li Ka-shing monopolized Hong Kong's natural gas, water, electricity, ports, retail and other industries through a series of means.
From then on, Hong Kong, an international metropolis, almost became the city of the Li family, and everyone had to pay for birth, old age, sickness and death.
