Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 570 "569" Auction! The shopping mall is in hand! Swire Group is humiliated for the second time!

at this time,

In a residential house in a community in Repulse Bay.

Yu Shuntian and Zou Wenfeng, a couple, were sitting on the sofa, watching TV.

A year ago, after obtaining the consent of Uncle Nan, Yu Shuntian paid homage to the incense hall and officially withdrew from Zhengxing Society.

The following year, Yu Shuntian entered the financial world and earned his first pot of gold in an honest and clean manner through his own efforts.

Then he married his teacher Zou Wenfeng and founded his own investment company.

Everything is going smoothly now.

At the same time, because I often went to the university to attend classes, I became very familiar with Gao Jin, Ahua, Chen Yongren, and Jimmy from the Five Star Tutorial School.

“Ring, ring, ring~~”

At this time,

The phone rang.

Yu Shuntian took a look and found that it was Ah Hua's. Because of their similar temperaments, Yu Shuntian and Ah Hua had the best and closest relationship.

"Brother Hua, what's wrong?"

"Ah Tian, ​​Brother Zu just called me and asked me to ask you if you are interested in working for the Five Star Group. The Five Star Group is expanding rapidly and needs a large number of senior talents. If you are willing to come, I am willing to take the position of senior management director or above. After working for one or two years, you will be in charge of a company."

Because they were so familiar with each other, Ahua skipped the stage of chatting about family matters.

Go to work at Five Star Group?
Senior management?

Yu Shuntian was immediately moved.

They are now a husband and wife team, and the wife, Zou Wenfeng, is also very capable.

You can let your wife manage your own company.

And you can join the Five Star Group.

Dual-line development, 1+1>2!

"Wait a moment. I'm next to my wife. I'll discuss it with her and give you an answer tomorrow."

"Okay. Tian, ​​I'm really looking forward to working with you."

After hanging up the phone,

Yu Shuntian looked at his wife Zou Wenfeng.

Zou Wenfeng: "What's wrong?"

Yu Shuntian: "Brother Hua called me and said that Brother Zu wanted to invite me to the Five Star Group. I will be the director first, and if my performance is good after a year, I will be the head of the company directly."

Zou Wenfeng: "Then do you want to go?"

Yu Shuntian nodded: "I want to."

Then I analyzed the reasons.
"No matter how hard we try, our careers will reach a bottleneck. Our assets will top out at around 10 billion."

"Human life is very short. I hope I can show my abilities on a bigger platform."

Zou Wenfeng looked at her husband's ambitions and felt that her husband was glowing at that moment.

Men with ideals and ambitions are always full of intoxicating charm!
"Okay, I support you!"

"I will take care of our company."

Yu Shuntian heard this and took Zou Wenfeng's hand:
"Marrying you is the greatest luck in my life."

I think I am just a gangster, and my current achievements are all due to Zou Wenfeng's continuous support.

What is even more rare is that Zou Wenfeng has a high level of personal accomplishment. She is a capable woman outside and a gentle and virtuous wife at home.

……

2 month 22 day,
For the first time, Swire Group publicly announced that it would sell its two shopping malls, Pacific Place and Cityplaza.

TVB and ATV reported the incident.

It immediately attracted the attention of citizens all over Hong Kong.

Taikoo Plaza and Taikoo City have been losing money due to the Five Star Group and are finally going to be sold.

This means that the Five Star Group has won again.

On the stock market that day,

Swire Group's shares turned directly from decline to rise, rising 3%.

However, the bank that benefited the most was Five Star Bank, whose stock price rose by 5% on the day.

Taikoo Master Byron: “…………”

Just keep silent!

This feeling is suffocating!

Then the next day,
The Five Star Group announced that it is very interested in the two Swire Malls and is willing to acquire them.

The whole of Hong Kong suddenly became lively.

Should Swire Group sell or not?
If you sell it, wouldn't it be an insult?

quickly,

The Hong Kong media, not afraid of trouble, rushed to the Swire Group for interviews.

On that day, Byron stayed behind closed doors and let Executive Director Peng Lizhi accept interviews from the public.

Peng Lizhi pretended to be sick and didn't come to work.

Subsequently, this important task was handed over to Chief Financial Officer Mike.

Mike sternly refused the interview.

"The grievances between the Five Star Group and the Swire Group are beyond description..."

“Therefore, the Swire Group will never let the two shopping malls fall into Guan Zu’s hands.”

The sound is sonorous, powerful and resounding.

This voice spread throughout Hong Kong Island through TVB and ATV that night.

The whole of Hong Kong is enjoying the melon.

A small number of banana people and foreigners cheered:

"Okay, this is the powerful Swire Group in my mind!"

"That's how tough it has to be!"

"When has the Swire Group ever been afraid of anyone?!"

……

……

2 month 25 day.

A cold wave hit from the north, bringing with it more dark clouds and causing the temperature on Hong Kong Island to drop by 7 or 8 degrees.

Sotheby's auction house, Landmark Central.

After 40 days of delay, Swire Group finally successfully held the auction.

"Welcome Mr. Fili..."

"Welcome President Li..."

"Welcome Mr. Lin, Mr. Huang..."

Swire Group's Byron was at the door, welcoming the Huang and Lin duo from Citi, Samsung, and Indonesia.

In my heart: “emmm~~~”

That's great.

Finally, no more losses.

Because during these 40 days, these two plazas caused Swire Group to lose another million yuan.

Why choose auction?

Because auction is the most efficient way to realize assets, it can also save a lot of time and energy costs incurred by negotiations, and reduce the risk of transaction failure due to breakdown of negotiations.

For Byron at the moment, this is the best option.

Soon, the time came to 9 o'clock.
The lights are bright inside the Sotheby's auction center.

The auctioneer stood on the stage and banged the gavel in his hand.

"Dear guests..."

Then there was a gust of wind.

"The first property we are auctioning today is Pacific Place, a property under the Swire Group in Admiralty. As a well-known high-end shopping mall in Hong Kong Island, it has unparalleled commercial value."

The auctioneer blew hard.
Samsung Group's Chairman Lee, Lee Jae-yong and Lee Boo-jin sat in one area, and the assistant beside them whispered in Chairman Lee's ear from time to time.

On the other side, the second young master Lin and the third young master Huang from Indonesia were whispering to each other with serious expressions.

The third party, the representative and assistant of Citibank, seemed a little nonchalant, occasionally glancing around the venue.

Auctioneer: "The Pacific Place shopping mall covers an area of ​​70 square feet and is valued at 76.5 billion. Considering the current market environment, the starting price of this auction is set at 50 billion! Each bid increment is 1000 million!" (Only limited to shopping malls, not including office buildings, hotels, etc.)

"Now, the bidding begins!"

Bang~~
The hammer struck.

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, Mr. Lin from Indonesia raised his bidding card, "50.3 billion!"

Lee Jae-yong slowly raised the sign, "50.5 billion!"

Citigroup continues to raise prices.

The three parties took their time to negotiate and the price gradually rose.

"53 million!"

"53.5 million!"

quickly,

Citibank gave up the pursuit.

As the price reached 59.5 billion.

Mr. Lin's face became solemn. He and Mr. Huang looked at each other, hesitating and weighing the pros and cons.

Hold up a sign.

"60."

Samsung's Lee Jae-yong still looked calm and composed: "60.5 billion!"

"60.5 billion, is there a higher bid?" There was a brief silence in the audience, and Mr. Lin put down the sign in his hand and did not continue to raise the price.

"60.5 billion at a time!" The auctioneer's voice echoed in the hall.

"60.5 million twice!"

"60.5 billion three times! Deal!"

The auction hammer fell heavily, and Samsung Group successfully won the bid for Pacific Place.

Lee Jae-yong showed a satisfied smile on his face and high-fived Lee Boo-jin beside him.

After a short rest,
The auctioneer spoke again:
"Next up is the Taikoo City Centre in Quarry Bay, North Point. The mall has an area of ​​111 million square feet and is valued at HK$53.5 billion. The starting price is HK$35 billion, and the increment is also HK$1000 million. The bidding begins!"

"35.2……"

"35.5……"

This time, the Citibank representatives still did not make much movement, only occasionally raising signs.

Mr. Lin and Mr. Huang bid actively.

Samsung Group's Lee Zairong had just acquired Pacific Place and did not participate strongly in this auction.

"38.3 million!"

"38.5 million!"

The three parties made their bids slowly, and finally Citigroup withdrew again.

The price rose little by little, and when it reached 40.3 billion, the heat of the competition seemed to subside, and the bidding speed of both sides also slowed down a lot.

In the end, after Mr. Lin shouted out "41 billion", Lee Zairong and Citi hesitated for a moment and chose to give up.

The auctioneer made three bids as usual.
Hammer.

Bang bang bang~~~
"41 billion three times! Deal! Congratulations, Mr. Lin and Mr. Huang!"

So far,

Taikoo City Centre was acquired by Mr. Lin and Mr. Huang.

After the auction, Byron had a smile on his face and shook hands with all parties.

Next,
It’s about signing a contract.

When the three parties put pen to paper, the contract was officially reached.

Pacific Place and Cityplaza have officially changed hands!
……

……

After half an hour,
Five Star Group Building, Guan Zu Office,

sofa,

Guan Zu and Chairman Li are drinking tea.

Chairman Li took a sip, his mouth full of tea leaves.

"Bah~~~"

Spit it out immediately.

Because the tea Guan Zu brewed this time was high quality,
喝茶体验-1-1-1-1-1……

He wondered if Guan Zu was deliberately torturing him.

At this time, the lawyers from both sides were in the conference room, finalizing the contract.

Chairman Li drank tea while looking around Guan Zu's office, and was finally shocked by the word "Virtue" on Guan Zu's wall.

Awesome Smita!

However, this office is too small. The Five Star Group is so big, but I didn’t expect the office to be so small.

He couldn't help but think of the saying: A mountain is famous not because of its height, but because of the immortals living there; a river is magical not because of its depth, but because of the dragons living there.

At this time, tap tap tap~~~
Secretary Wu Lianqian knocked on the door and came in.

"Boss, Mr. Lin and Mr. Huang are here..."

"Why are they here?" Guan Zu was surprised. "This is not the time we agreed to meet. They are here early."

Guan Zu looked at President Li.

Chairman Li realized that Lin and Huang were also Guan Zu's collaborators, just like himself.

Suddenly crying.

The Swire Group was badly cheated by the Five Star Group.

President Li said, "Mr. Guan, I am also very interested in Mr. Lin and Mr. Huang. How about having tea together?"

Guan Zu smiled: "Okay!"

To Wu Lianqian: "Go and invite them in..."

quickly,

Led by Wu Lianqian, the second son of Lin and the third son of Huang entered Guan Zu's office.

Then I saw Chairman Lee.

Second Master Lin: “???”

Mr. Huang: “???”

Wow, I didn’t expect that Samsung, like me, had also joined forces with the Five Star Group early on.

"Come on, sit down!"

Guan Zu invited the two to sit down, and then Wu Lianqian poured two cups of tea.

The Second Young Master Lin and the Third Young Master Huang took a sip.

Second Master Lin: “Pooh~~~”

Mr. Huang San: “Pah~~~”

High breaking, hard to top!
Guan Zu was very happy and asked Wu Lianqian to exchange the tea leaves: "Go get the can of tea leaves that I brought from Beijing."

quickly,

The tea was brewed again.

The aroma of tea rises and spreads.

"This tea was given to me privately by my leader when I went to Beijing to attend the state banquet on National Day last October 10st... Wuyishan Dahongpao..."

"Please~~~"

Chairman Li, Second Young Master Lin, and Third Young Master Huang became solemn upon hearing this.

He solemnly picked up the teacup.

I took a sip.

President Li's eyes lit up: "Good tea, mellow taste, long aftertaste, really extraordinary."

Mr. Lin also praised: "You can feel the unique rock flavor as soon as you take a sip, it's wonderful."

Mr. Huang: "It is such an honor to be able to drink such tea..."

……

……

the other side,
Within the Swire Group, the results of the auction have spread throughout the entire group.

"60.5 billion for Pacific Place?"

"41 billion for Cityplaza?"

"It's too little, isn't it? It's a huge loss."

"I think it's okay. Stop the loss in time, otherwise it will be more difficult to sell if you keep losing money."

First floor lobby,
A group of employees were waiting for the elevator and gossiping.
"You say, this Samsung and Indonesian consortium, is it possible that they are hired by the Five Star Group?"

"Isn't that possible? They are all foreign financial groups. The Five Star Group is just an enterprise within Hong Kong Island."

At this moment,
Boss Byron's usually dignified face showed a rare smile. He came quickly with his secretary and bodyguards and asked to take the elevator.

All the employees fell silent and stopped talking.

Byron got on the elevator and quickly arrived at the office. He called the headquarters in Britain and reported the situation.

“The auction process was very intense…”

“The three parties are very enthusiastic…”

"Based on the current situation, it has nothing to do with the Five Star Group!"

"Among them, the son of the chairman of Samsung Group had a conflict with Five Star Group and was hospitalized. It is unlikely that Samsung Group would cooperate with Five Star Group."

After he finished his report,
It's already twelve o'clock noon.

at this time,

ATV and TVB midday news began broadcasting.
Byron subconsciously turned on the ATV News International Channel.

This is a habit he has formed during this period.

"Good afternoon, fellow citizens..."

"Here is today's news..."

"Today, the Swire Group's Taikoo Place (Admiralty) and Cityplaza (North Point, Quarry Bay) in Hong Kong successfully held an auction..."

"The venue is Sotheby's auction center in Landmark Plaza..."

"The Swire Group was previously facing the pressure of continued losses in its two major plazas, and this auction is intended to stop the losses..."

"Before the auction, Swire Group publicly stated that it would never sell to Five Star Group due to conflicts with Five Star Group. So Five Star Group did not participate in this auction."

At this time, the secretary came in.

"Taipei...coffee..."

Byron took the coffee and drank it while watching the news.

"In the end, South Korea's Samsung Group successfully won the Pacific Place for HK$60.5 billion, while Indonesia's Lin and Huang joined forces and successfully won the Taikoo City Center for HK$41 billion..."

"Next, play another piece of news..."

"At 11 o'clock this morning..."

"Samsung Group, Indonesian consortium Lin and Huang also visited Five Star Group at the same time."

Byron's expression froze.

"Ok?"
