Chapter 418: Subsidiaries are listed one after another
Governor Murray MacLehose attended the New Year's Eve party with his wife and two daughters.
Not to mention the strong instigation of his two daughters, just the feedback from within the authorities was that the New Year's Eve party was a tradition for Hong Kong citizens, and he did not want to go his own way as soon as he took office.
He also needs this party to announce to the citizens of Hong Kong that he has arrived and his era has also arrived.
The party will last for 4 hours, from 8pm to 12am, and then the New Year's Eve fireworks will be set off in Victoria Harbour at midnight.
The program content is rich and varied, with English programs accounting for about one-third. In particular, with the support of top Western bands, tickets are hard to come by.
There is a huge difference between watching live on TV and seeing the event in person.
Anyone who wants to show their face in front of all Hong Kong citizens will be controlled by the cameras.
As for who can come to the scene, it is controlled by Wang Yuanchao. It can be said that he, to a certain extent, holds the admission ticket to Hong Kong's upper class.
A number of politicians and celebrities gathered at the scene.
Many middle-level officials and wealthy people who are obsessed with breaking the circle and integrating into the upper circle are willing to spend money to buy scalper tickets just to show their faces.
Not to mention appearing on TV, at least when you see other leaders and colleagues at the scene, you can say hello: Hey, Student X is here to watch the party too!
Therefore, the original ticket price of a hundred yuan was sold to several thousand yuan by scalpers, and it was common to see the price increase several times.
Ordinary people lined up with their families to buy tickets, and then sold them.
For them, this is like buying a horse lottery ticket to change their destiny!
With one ticket, if you’re lucky, you can earn a year’s salary!
As usual, Wang Yuanchao and his wife did not attend the event, but watched TV at home.
The whole family is here.
Cousin Chen Xueru took Hou Kui to watch the show. My mistress Leti went on stage to perform, so Chen Mingming followed Chen Xueru and the others to watch the fun.
So now, we are a real family.
Lou Xiao'e and Wang Ling felt uncomfortable all over, but there was nothing they could do. The first wife's belly was still not getting better. What could they do?
Wang Xiao can sense his mother Lou Xiaoe's inner anxiety and has become very well-behaved. He is almost 4 years old and very sensible.
The fact that Liu Qijin could greet everyone with a pleasant face was a sign of her good upbringing and ladylike demeanor.
How much she envied the second and third wives’ bellies!
She has been preparing for pregnancy!
But it just doesn’t work.
This was not intentional on Wang Yuanchao's part. He felt that his wife might be under a lot of pressure, and he really tried his best. Even Xixi won, so could this be his fault?
In order not to upset his wife, he even told her in advance that he would watch the New Year's Gala with her on the 31st.
Then Liu Qijin himself called the wives of other families over.
This is a strong-willed woman.
Only Zheng Juan had no regrets, because Wang Yuanchao said that she would have to wait until she was 20 years old, as she was too young to have a baby.
He never lied to her anyway.
Wang Yuanchao felt that it was not a good idea to keep going like this, so when it was about 10 o'clock, he asked Lou Xiao'e and Wang Ling to go to bed, saying that pregnant women should not stay up late. Zheng Juan saw this and quickly said that she would take care of Wang Xiao, and she also ran away because she was afraid that Xiao'e would be too busy.
You see, even Zheng Juan has good eyesight.
So the couple were the only ones left sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Liu Qijin stared at the TV without saying a word.
Wang Yuanchao hugged her and said:
"How about coming back to the mainland with me during the New Year?"
Liu Qijin, who had always been dignified, suddenly lost his composure and said:
"Really?"
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"We've been married for so long, and my family hasn't even seen you."
Liu Qijin said carefully:
"It won't cause any trouble, will it?"
Wang Yuanchao said:
"You have to cut your hair, get a tan, and then squeeze on a train with me for two days and two nights. When you get back, you have to stay at home and not visit friends. You may have to come back after just a few days."
Liu Qijin said:
"That's nothing. I took a day and a night to get from Songjiang to the north to find you!"
After hearing what her husband said, she stopped watching TV and went back to her room to pack and prepare what to bring to the north and what gifts to bring home.
Wang Yuanchao saw this and said with a smile:
"We went there secretly, how could we bring so much? Don't worry, just follow me. I've been there many times, I have experience, and I'm ready."...
After New Year’s Day, I accompanied visitors from the United States several times and took them to experience Chinese cuisine. Then on the 5th, the Kowloon Stock Exchange was established!
In the small city of Hong Kong, four stock exchanges suddenly emerged.
The era of everyone's crazy stock trading is finally about to begin.
Pacific Industrial cannot be listed for the time being, and it has to wait a little longer because Pacific Building has entered the final stage of repair and commissioning. He did not even sell the property like other companies, he wanted to hold and rent it out, he needed this building to make Pacific Industrial's stock take off.
The money earned from stocks is much higher than the money earned from the building itself!
Wait until the stock market is booming and then sell the building. There will definitely be many people with expanded wealth who will not be able to resist buying it. And after the stock market crashes, he can buy it back at a low price. How great!
At this time, there are all kinds of companies going public, and the conditions are very loose. When the review becomes strict in the future, even the shell of a listed company can be sold for a lot of money.
The company's stocks are in his own hands. As long as he can hold them, he is not afraid of others' speculation.
He couldn't wait to enjoy such a feast of wealth.
And the reasons were ready. Several major stock exchanges vied with each other to invite him to show their support and offered various preferential conditions. He was a person who paid so much attention to interpersonal relationships, so how could he refuse abruptly?
Pacific Industrial is preparing for the listing in the Far East, just waiting for the completion of Pacific Building and the opening of leasing. It is expected to be listed after the Spring Festival!
Blizzard Toys is a cash flow giant under Wang Yuanchao, no less than Deep Blue Electronics. Wang Yuanchao intends to take Gold and Silver to market. It is also very important to have a good relationship with these guys who speculate in precious metals.
However, he separated Blizzard Animation and renamed it Ice Animation.
Blizzard Animation helps the United States to do OEM and earns about 2 million US dollars every year, which is more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. This income is not considered a small company in Hong Kong. It can be given to the Kowloon Club as a personal favor.
The Kowloon Club was founded by Kowloon District Councillor Chen Pufen and others. Many of Wang Yuanchao's industries are located here, so naturally he has to give them face.
But Kowloon Club is very small and is only suitable for small companies to go there, get a shell, and go public here. You don’t have to worry too much about the trading volume, the main thing is to get the listing shell.
The third largest revenue earner, Starlight Cinemas, is a money laundering company and cannot be listed.
As for Phoenix Daily and Hong Kong Business Radio, which also have tens of millions of yuan in revenue, it is better to list them on the Far East Club. They are closely connected with the daily life of Hong Kong people and have a huge impact. He himself is also one of the founders of the Far East Club.
In addition, he would also suggest that the major shareholder, Ho Sau-chi, take Hong Kong Communications, in which he holds a minority stake, go public; it was just a suggestion.
There is also a Bao An Tang. If the Kowloon Association is interested in it, they can list it on the stock market and make several million Hong Kong dollars a year, which is a considerable amount.
Anyway, Wang Yuanchao has only one principle: go public as much as possible. Don't worry about the handling fee or something like that. The shell behind it is very valuable. It is easily equivalent to the company's performance for ten or eight years.
It is not unheard of that all the companies under Wang Yuanchao are preparing for listing in a hurry.
No one understood and just thought that this young billionaire was a little too crazy.
Most people didn't dare to persuade, nor was it appropriate to do so. Only the father-in-law Liu Heqing, who was expected by everyone, was recommended to have tea with his son-in-law.
"Yuan Chao, you're getting everyone to go public, which is not bad, as all companies are full of enthusiasm. But if we want to raise enough funds, don't we have to work together to keep warm?"
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Dad, what do you think about Phoenix Daily and Hong Kong Business Radio? Who has more shares, and how much?"
Liu Heqing didn't expect his son-in-law to speak so directly, so he also said bluntly:
“We can finalize this in our internal meeting. Combining the newspaper and radio stations into a media group will definitely be more powerful than separate newspapers and radio stations, right?
1+1 can be much greater than 2.
Moreover, you can also bring in your Hong Kong Culture and International Film Magazines. They certainly cannot be listed on the market individually, but if they are brought into the media group, there will be no such problem.
All-round and multi-line, helping the media group's market value to soar. Don't you agree? "
Indeed, others were afraid of not being able to raise enough funds and tried to build a group and list it, but he was breaking the whole into parts.
If the corresponding funds cannot be raised, wouldn’t that directly lower the stock price and market value?
Wang Yuanchao felt that his father-in-law's words made sense, but what his father-in-law didn't know was that when the industry became standardized, it would not be as easy to go public as it is now! This kind of listing opportunity is rare!
Not to mention that it will soon be an era where everyone is eating shark fin rice. It is also an era of stock speculation. It is easier to speculate in stocks if you have a lot of stocks in your hands.
He won’t launch all of them at once!
He will go on the market step by step!
He clearly remembered that even an antenna company, which hadn't even started production yet, was able to go public. It was already very moral for him to let all the physical companies under his control go public.
But since my father-in-law came to persuade me, I still had to give him some face, so I said:
"Dad, what you said makes sense.
However, now that all industries in Hong Kong are reviving, everyone wants to achieve something.
You said that the media group and the weight of each company are all subject to internal discussion. You are one of us, so it is easy to say, but many people will definitely feel that the quota of their company is too low, right? They all have company shares and dividends!
Even if I create a giant like Yuanchao Group, among the companies under it, some will think that they have high profits, some will think that they have heavy assets, and some will think that they have superior technology, and none of them will be willing to submit to the other.
But I let everyone go public on their own and be responsible for their own performance. If you think your company's performance is good, you can buy your company's stock and work hard to increase the value of your stock.
If you think a sister company's performance is good, you can buy its stock. If you think an outside company's performance is good, you can buy its stock. It is entirely voluntary.
Wouldn't this make them more convinced than if we discussed the result together?
