We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

The Hong Kong government conversation between MacLehose and Luo Nianzhong soon spread to the British. His secret threats and the use of the British flag to pretend to be a tiger caused great dissatisfaction among the British upper class.

If Luo Nianzhong and the Far East Group can be won over because of these conditions, the British side feels that they will definitely get a big advantage.

As for HSBC? It was supported by the Hong Kong Island family and what does it have to do with them?

The upper echelons of England have a very clear view. If they take Hong Kong Island, it doesn't matter whether the Far East Bank becomes a settlement bank.

After all, it does not involve the local area, and the legislative and regulatory agencies are also in their hands. At that time, there will be many ways to restrict the Far East Bank.

If sovereignty returns, will this thing have any value?

Why not use something worthless in the future in exchange for the current stability of Hong Kong Island? Why not increase your bargaining chip?

It is true that this thing will be of little value to British capital once it returns. Historically, HSBC lost its status as a settlement bank after the return.

What Ying Lun meant was to promise Luo Nianzhong that even if he couldn't win over him, he would still make Rabbit suspicious and sow discord with him.

So after London learned about this, Thatcher personally called MacLehose and told him, "You are the Governor of London, not the Governor of those big families.

Don’t be stressed because of them, their hands can’t reach this far.”

It was because of their self-righteousness that the Far East Bank acquired the Royal Bank of Scotland. London did not want to facilitate this matter but could not directly refuse it.

Barclays Bank is already in the possession of the Luo family, and this is no secret among the upper echelons of England.

There are too many big nobles involved, and the royal family is also involved. No one dares to risk offending these people and obstructing it. This is not good for themselves.

But coupled with the Royal Bank of Scotland, those two banks accounted for too much in the UK, and they became the top two or even the first big bank in the UK.

No one can guarantee whether Luo Nianzhong will make subsequent moves. Keeping Royal Bank of Scotland is equivalent to adding an extra buffer zone between the two parties, so London does not want Far East Bank to complete the acquisition.

Unless Luo Nianzhong can offer a bargaining chip that London cannot refuse, such as relocation, no one will have any hope for this.

But we can't refuse easily, as that is obviously aimed at Far East Bank.

Thatcher is currently undergoing privatization reforms and needs a large amount of foreign capital to invest in Britain. If the Far East Bank is directly rejected, it will cause trouble in attracting foreign investment.

You say that privatization reform attracts foreign capital, but you refuse it when they come. Who knows what troubles may arise in the future, which inadvertently brings doubts and suspicions to foreign capital.

Because of this, London was very dissatisfied with MacLehose's unauthorized decision-making and felt that he did not distinguish priorities.

MacLehose was also feeling bitter. As the big boss of Hong Kong Island, he still needed the help of these British talents sometimes, but he was stabbed unexpectedly. It seems that there are also quite a few problems within the Hong Kong government.

One RBS and that's it? not at all.

On July 7, Asia Harbor Airlines was established.

This airline, which is no secret to Hong Kong Islanders, did a lot of work when it first came out.

AirAsia announced that it has signed a huge order with Boeing. AirAsia will purchase 100 aircraft of various models from Boeing, with a total order of more than US$20 billion.

These 100 aircraft are mainly medium and large aircraft. It is expected that 3% will be delivered within three years and all of them will be delivered within five years.

The new airport project in Lantau Island will take more than two years to be put into use, and this wave is coming for Cathay Pacific Airways of the Silvayer family.

This was not over yet. Just two days later, Southeast Finance reported the news that Jardine Matheson’s overseas investments had caused huge losses. The losses were expected to reach nearly 200 million US dollars, causing Jardine Matheson’s stock to plummet.

Also because of Jardine Matheson, the entire market was affected again, with the Hang Seng Index falling below the 900-point mark and closing at 881 points.

Since the 50s, Jardine Matheson has adopted the strategy of "earn money in Hong Kong Island and spend it overseas" because of worries about the rabbit problem.

Also because Luo Nianzhong snatched Hong Kong Electric and Hong Kong dialect, Jardine invested more overseas, lasted longer, and suffered more losses.

Without HK Electric, I just don’t know what assets Jardine will use to sell off this time to plug the hole.

A week later, a land auction was being held in a large conference hall of the Peninsula Hotel.

This time, the Hong Kong government allocated a total of four pieces of land, the most eye-catching of which was the land reclamation site in Central. This was also the last large piece of land in Central. A famous building called Exchange Square was later built on this land.

Originally, this land was put up for tender in November last year, but at that time, the British revoked the original appointment of Hong Kong Governor Youde, and did not give MacLehose a second term.

Faced with the complicated situation of the Hong Kong government, the results announcement originally scheduled for February was also postponed.

Then the Hong Kong stock market took a hit and land prices dropped. Companies bidding for the land asked to scrap the original tender documents and start a new tender. The Hong Kong government simply replaced the tender with an auction.

Today's local auction can be said to be a gathering of big names, including Li Bancheng from Changshi, the Charter King from Abandoned Ship, the Kwok family and his son from Sun Hung Kai, Keswick from Land and other prominent figures in the real estate industry on Hong Kong Island are all here.

When Far East Properties President Niu Bijian came in, the good seats in the middle of the first two rows were occupied by these big guys.

There were more people in the back, but most of them were real estate bosses who came to see the world and increase their conversation.

When the auction started, only a few people actually bid.

After looking around, Newbijian finally walked to where the Charter King was sitting on the left side of the second row.

His appearance naturally attracted the attention of others present, thinking that another predator had joined the competition.

Seeing Niubijian sitting next to him, the chartered boat king smiled, "That little guy has been very restless and active recently. Looking at it like this, I don't expect to be the King of Earth today."

Newbijian and the chartering king were old acquaintances. They used to be in hostile camps. Since Newbijian joined the Far East, the two of them had frequent contacts due to some business cooperation between the two companies and became friends again.

"Hey, you and Huo Daheng are the only people in Hong Kong who dare to call our boss that in public." Newbijian smiled and joked, but did not say that he came here for that piece of land today.

The relationship between Luo Yinghua and the Charter King is really good, and the Charter King has always treated Luo Nianzhong like his own nephew.

After Luo Nianzhong became famous, even the old people who interacted with Luo Yinghua began to call him Luo Sheng and Luo Dong to show their respect.

That is, the Charter King and Huo Daheng, no matter what occasion they call Luo Nianzhong, they are little guy, brat and the like.

The Charter King said nothing, but he smiled very proudly and proudly.

The auction started with two pieces of land in Tsuen Wan and one piece of land in Kwai Chung.

One of these three pieces of land in Tsuen Wan is for industrial use, and the remaining two are for residential use.

The land area of ​​the two residential sites is not small, and the competition is fierce.

Interestingly, when the residential land was auctioned, after Land announced a price of HK$2.8 million, Newbigan immediately increased the price by HK$ million.

His price increase caused everyone present to be stunned. Everyone in Hong Kong knew that Far East Real Estate did not involve residential projects because the God of Wealth didn't like it. This is almost a mystery about Luo Nianzhong.

Newbijian's bid made all real estate developers nervous, thinking that this Tyrannosaurus Rex from the Far East was going to rush into the housing market, right?

Later, after observing several bids, they were relieved and funny at the same time.

Newbigan was obviously targeting Land. As long as Land made a bid, he would keep up. When Land made no bid, Newbigan showed a lack of interest no matter how low the price was.

It is not known whether Niubijian's behavior was revenge or revenge for Luo Nianzhong, or whether he was taking revenge on Luo Nianzhong for personal revenge.

The exact reason is unknown, but Keswick was furious.

In the end, the three pieces of land, Cheung Kong and Charter King, won the residential land, and the Sun Hung Kai Kwok family and his son won the industrial land.

The price is not too high, only about 70% of last year's peak. This is because Far East Real Estate has raised the price.

Since the development of the Lantau Island project, Far East Properties has reduced its land acquisitions, and Newbikin, a commercial and industrial land of general size, is now not even participating.

Since Niubijian came this time, he must have come for the King of Earth. Luo Nianzhong, as well as the recent situation of Jardine and HSBC, these people have some understanding of the recent situation.

Which rich man does not have some information channels in the Hong Kong government? Coupled with the recent series of actions of the Far East Group, one can guess roughly.

The current piece of land is like being inserted into the heart of Landmark Central layout. Niu Bijian came here to win this piece of land.

As for the price? Do people lack this thing?
