Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Since ancient times, we Chinese have had a village party saying that people in the same region are always easier to get close to than other people.

Chapter 805 The Deep Background of China Power Company

He couldn't find a way to cheat Li Chaoren for a while, and Yang Chen didn't care. There will be plenty of time in the future, so don't be too anxious about this kind of thing.

Furthermore, now he holds a large amount of stocks in two companies owned by Li Chaoren. Thinking about it differently, Li Chaoren will have to work hard for him to make money in the future, which is actually quite cool.

Of course, one thing to pay attention to when riding on the same boat as Li Chaoren is to be careful not to be tricked by the other party.

Yang Chen remembered reading a report about Li Chaoren in his previous life. It mainly talked about Li Chaoren's escape from the stock market crash of the century in [-] by raising funds through rights issue in advance.

In the month before the stock market crash, Li Chaoren announced the largest rights issue plan in history. The four companies under his umbrella raised a total of more than [-] billion Hong Kong dollars, which became the largest market transaction at that time.

Before the stock market crash, all the people who got the rights issue thought they had made a lot of money, but when they looked back, they found out who was the fool.

Black monday

Presumably many people are familiar with this.

On October [-], [-], an unprecedented "stock market crash" hit major stock markets around the world.

This day was later known as Black Monday.

From New York to Hong Kong and then to London, the world's major stock markets experienced a cliff-like crash on the same day, and investors all over the world suddenly felt mournful.

The reason why Black Monday makes people talk about it is that in addition to its subsequent impact, another reason is the suddenness of its outbreak, which was unexpected by many people.

Before the stock market crash, countless investors maintained maximum optimism about the economies of countries around the world.

In 50, the global population exceeded [-] billion. The huge demographic dividend has brought massive cheap labor to the world economy.

Also in that year, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher led the Conservative Party, won the general election again and was re-elected as British Prime Minister for three terms, making Margaret Thatcher the longest serving Prime Minister in British history.

Mrs. Thatcher's privatization reform restored the British economy and entered a period of rapid growth. As a member of Europe, the economic development of the United Kingdom directly affects the economic development of European countries.

The re-election of Mrs. Thatcher is a matter of great celebration for the whole of Europe, which is conducive to the development of the entire European economy.

In addition to the above two events, it was also in that year that US President Ronald Reagan stood under the Berlin Wall and shouted to the supreme leader of the Soviet Union to "tear down this wall".

The supreme leader of one of the world's two superpowers took the initiative to release a signal of goodwill. During the Cold War, this is definitely a major event worthy of rejoicing for the people of the world.

Everything is proclaiming to the world that this will be another year of prosperity and development.

However, like all "disasters", their appearance is often unexpected.

Some people say that in the financial circle, no matter how much money you have on the books, it is only wealth on paper. As long as there is no liquidation, you cannot be called a winner.

When the stock market crash comes and the bubble bursts, it is often the best test for a person and a company.

Disasters can often overwhelm countless people, and at the same time can also achieve many people, and Li Chaoren belongs to the latter. As a man who seems to be able to predict the occurrence of disasters every time and has always been at the forefront, Li Chaoren is in the face of disasters. , and made various divine operations, which were ridiculed by many people in later generations as "travelers".

Li Chaoren's life, everyone gave him a summary of six words, 'buy right, sell right'.

Such a person faced countless disasters, but was able to calmly pass the test again and again. The most important point was that he would not suffer any losses, but instead repeatedly took advantage of disasters to further expand his career.

For such a person, once you despise him, there is absolutely no question of being cheated.

In order to avoid his first world fame, and end up in the other party's hands, Yang Chen will not deliberately target the other party, nor will he deliberately stare at the other party's every move, waiting for an opportunity to find trouble for the other party.

Sometimes it is inadvertently and silently that the effect of surprise can be achieved. Any major event cannot be easily shot. With the other party's outstanding vision, it can be seen through at a glance. In the end, don't get caught, but put yourself in it .

Therefore, the acquisition of the shares of Li Chaoren's company this time is similar to an aboveboard conspiracy. Yang Chen thinks it is quite appropriate, and making the other party feel miserable is the best way to deal with people like Li Chaoren.

"Hey, what are you thinking?"

A soft voice sounded in his ears, and Yang Chen came back to his senses in time, seeing Xue Yufei and He Chaoqiong staring at him, he couldn't help asking: "Why are you here?"

Before Xue Yufei could speak, He Chaoqiong who was on the side spoke first, "I also said that Uncle Li has been down for so long, but you are here in a daze. Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing, I was thinking about something just now." Yang Chen shook his head, and walked to the side of the two girls, "Okay, let's go quickly, it's getting late, we'll go to Ap Lei Chau in a while, and we have to go to Lamma I heard that the power plant on Lamma Island will be completed in two years..."

Heung Kong Electric was established in [-] and was one of the largest power plants in the early days of Heung Kong. As the earliest city in Asia with electricity supply, electricity has made an indelible contribution to the economic development of Heung Kong.

Today, Xiangjiang Electric has developed into one of the two largest power supply companies in Xiangjiang. In Xiangjiang, except for CLP Power, almost all of the electricity supply in Xiangjiang Island is delivered by Xiangjiang Electric.

In [-], Heung Kong Electric built a fully computerized power plant in Ap Lei Chau, which used fuel oil to generate electricity. After it was completed last year, the total power generation capacity reached [-] megawatts.

With the construction of the power plant on Lamma Island, the power generation capacity of Xiangjiang Electric will quadruple in the future, enough to meet the needs of the increasingly prosperous Xiangjiang Island.

In fact, compared to Xiangjiang Electric Lighting, Yang Chen wanted to get China Power Company more, but because the background of the boss behind China Power was too big, he didn't dare to touch it, yes, he just didn't dare to touch it, so he had no choice but to retreat Secondly, choose Xiangjiang Electric Lighting in the hands of Jardine.

Compared with the background of Jardine Matheson Group and CLP Power, it is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

There are only two major shareholders behind CLP Power, one is the well-known Kadoorie family, and the other is Mobil Corporation of the United States.

That's right, it's the Mobil Oil Company, does it sound familiar to you? In fact, it also has a name, Exxon Mobil Oil Company.

In [-], Exxon Mobil Petroleum Corporation and Exxon Petroleum Corporation merged to form ExxonMobil Petroleum Corporation.

Chapter 806 The Low-key Kadoorie Family

Whether it is Mobil Oil Company or Exxon Oil Company, they all come from the once famous American Standard Oil Company.

American Standard Oil Company was once the largest crude oil producer in the United States. At the end of the 90.00th century and the beginning of the 90.00th century, American Standard Oil Company monopolized 20.00% of the oil refining industry, [-]% of the oil transportation industry in the United States, and [-]% of the oil industry. of crude oil production.

Its founder, Rockefeller, is known as the "World Oil King".

However, it is a pity that in 30, the U.S. Supreme Court defined Standard Oil Company of the United States as a monopoly based on the "Sherman Antitrust Act". More than [-] regional oil companies.

(As for the fact that the U.S. government always likes to split up large enterprises in its own country, Yang Chen has to express his most sincere admiration.

Among the companies in all countries in the world, only American companies will consider that they are too large and will be split up by the government, while other countries do not have such concerns about happiness.

This is also one of the strengths of the United States. The governments of other countries are always thinking about expanding the influence of their own countries' enterprises to the outside world.

Only in the United States, the U.S. government holds a magnifying glass in its left hand and carefully watches every move of all companies, and holds a big stick in its right hand to threaten and warn everyone not to go too far, and leave some soup for others, otherwise I will tear you down. of. )

The original New York Standard Oil was later renamed Mobil Oil Company, and the original New Jersey Standard Oil was renamed Exxon Oil Company. In this way, more than 30 regional oil companies, two of which will be merged into one company in the future, will be Exxon Mobil Oil Company has achieved the status of the world's largest oil company.

This shows how huge the former Standard Oil Company was, and how rich the Rockefeller family of its founder was.

Although Mobil Oil Company has not yet merged with Exxon Petroleum Company, its strength is still underestimated. No matter at any time, there are three industries in American companies that you can only think big and must not be underestimated.

Three industries, the boss, the banking industry, the second, the arms industry, the third, is none other than oil.

These three industries are the most important cornerstones for the United States to become a superpower. Anyone who masters one of these industries, or has the right to speak in the three industries, needless to say the influence.

After the future merger of Mobil Oil Company and Exxon Petroleum Company, they will immediately become the world's largest oil company. From this point, it is not difficult to see the strength of the two oil companies.
