Chapter 397【Are you scared? 】

Hong Kong Island recently said that Cheung Kong was shocked by the bank run at the beginning of this year, so no new real estate projects were developed in 1965;

Even the stock price fell to 22 Hong Kong dollars per share, and the current total market value of Cheung Kong Holdings is only 1.05 billion Hong Kong dollars;

A drop of 30% from the market value of 1.368 billion Hong Kong dollars at the beginning of the year.

The share price of Cheung Kong Holdings naturally has nothing to do with Wu Guangyao!

At present, Wu Guangyao holds a total of 20 million shares of Cheung Kong Holdings, accounting for 41.6% of the total share capital, which is quite safe;

The general majority shareholder’s shares are around 35%, which is within the scope of advancement, retreat and defense;

Furthermore, Lin Youde, He Xian, Zhong Ziguang and others still have about 5% of the shares in their hands, so there is no idea of ​​daring to play Cheung Kong Industrial without long-sightedness.

In November, Cheung Kong Holdings issued an announcement: Cheung Kong Holdings will invest in a Changjiang Center commercial complex in Singapore. After completion, it will have two 600,000 square feet office buildings, a 500,000 square feet convention and exhibition center, and a 1.2 million square feet commercial complex. Center, the estimated total investment amount is 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

Changjiang Industrial's stock fell in response, making Wu Guangyao shook his head when he heard it, a group of short-sighted people!

In the final analysis, these people are not optimistic about Singapore's development prospects!

Cheung Kong Holdings held a press conference. Shi Jun attended the press conference as a representative of Cheung Kong, and some reporters took the opportunity to make trouble.

Anyway, it’s not a shark daring, I am not afraid of offending it!

"Mr. Shi, is this an act of capital walking (fleeing capital)?" a reporter asked unceremoniously.

Shi Jun has dealt with foreigners all the year round, and this situation is naturally easy to deal with.

Shi Jun said: “If this is a capital run, then what a multinational company is; Cheung Kong is determined to become a world-class real estate company, so we will make some investments overseas.”

A reporter asked again: “Is Cheung Kong not optimistic about the real estate industry on Hong Kong Island at this time?”

Shi Jun immediately replied: “Changjiang Industrial is a firm supporter of the real estate industry on Hong Kong Island! At present, we are working hard to develop two commercial buildings in Central, which can provide 1 million square feet of office space leasing upon completion.”

A reporter asked again: “Since Cheung Kong is optimistic about the real estate industry on Hong Kong Island, why not develop residential projects?”

Shi Jun replied: "This is the company's operating policy. We focus on different directions at each stage; everyone is not a business person, so it is difficult for everyone to understand! I can only tell you that we will develop commercial buildings as our main business in the past few years. "

In fact, at this time, there is still more than 250 million cash in the accounts of Cheung Kong. However, apart from preparing a small part of the funds to invest in Singapore's commercial center, other funds will not be used, even if it is the dividend in 1965. Greatly reduced.

After the press conference, Shi Jun came to Wu Guangyao's office.

"Will the press conference go well?"

"Well, it went well. They were all reporters looking for news. I didn't encounter such difficult reporters!"

Wu Guangyao nodded, as expected!

After all, the Oriental Media Group is the overlord of Hong Kong Island, and these small newspapers will naturally be afraid.

Just one Oriental News Agency currently occupies half of the news material on Hong Kong Island. It is conceivable how terrifying the Oriental Media is.

Wu Guangyao said: "You have recently purchased the 200,000 commercial land of Cheung Kong Real Estate at the market price. At that time, Cheung Kong Holdings can develop 4 commercial buildings. After all, after the completion of our two commercial buildings, we cannot dismiss some of them. Staff!"

Shi Jun said, “Well, it’s a pity. If it is sold at the beginning of the year, it can be sold at least 320 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, and the current market price is only 280 Hong Kong dollars. This is the result of the recovery of the real estate for more than half a year."

Wu Guangyao naturally knew that Shi Jun was thinking about himself, so he smiled and said: “You can’t take advantage of the public house, let people gossip, just trade at HK$275 per square foot.”

Shi Jun wanted to persuade Wu Guangyao that there is no need to help the Yangtze River Industrial Province with 1 million Hong Kong dollars, but when he saw Wu Guangyao's determined eyes, he laughed at the idea.

Four commercial buildings will be built on this 200,000-square-foot commercial land in Central, and Cheung Kong will own 6 commercial buildings in Central by then;

While Cheung Kong Properties owns 7 commercial buildings in Central (5 old-fashioned commercial buildings, which can be demolished and rebuilt), then the Wu family owns 13 commercial buildings in Central.

It is said that there will be 333 commercial buildings in Hong Kong in future generations (higher than 100 meters, 33 floors.), so Wu Guangyao has to work hard!

Dongfang Pictures made two films in the second half of 1965, one "One Armed Sword" and one "Drunk Man"; not surprisingly, these two films should have belonged to Shaw Brothers movies.

However, because Oriental Pictures digs a lot of people on Shaw Brothers and purchases scripts at a high price on Hong Kong Island, these two films went to Oriental Pictures.

"One-Armed Knife" is a collaboration between new director Zhang Che and new actor Wang Yu and others. Both Zhang Che and Wang Yu were from the Shaw Brothers that Wu Guangyao named to dig.

"Drunk Man" is also a collaboration between the new director Hu Jinquan and the new actor Zheng Peipei. It can be said that this time, Oriental Pictures has launched a large number of new directors and new actors.

"One Armed Sword" was first released on December 25, 1965. For this film, Wu Guangyao placed great hopes on it. This was the first film with a box office of one million on Hong Kong Island in the past. Can this effect be achieved?

Wu Guangyao and Lin Yueru came to the cinema quietly, of course, there were four bodyguards behind them.

"Mrs. Boss, your Coke and popcorn!" The female bodyguard who went to buy the tickets handed over two glasses of Coke and two buckets of popcorn.

Wu Guangyao smiled and said, "I asked you to buy six tickets and five packages! You are now giving me two packages. Could it be that you still have a couple and can catch popcorn in a bucket together?"

The face of the female bodyguards immediately blushed. After all, these female bodyguards are unmarried women, and the relationship between men and women may be blank, which can withstand the ridicule of the boss.

"No, there is no lover between us!" The female bodyguard is no longer chivalrous, only red makeup.

Wu Guangyao smiled, took a glass of Coke and a bucket of popcorn, and then said to a bodyguard named Song Chao: "Xiao Song, I remember you are single!"

Song Chao nodded quickly and said, "Well, boss, I have no girlfriend!"

Wu Guangyao said to Song Chao: “In the future, if you invite your girlfriend to watch a movie, you must remember to buy only a bucket of popcorn, so that you can go with your hand. Seeing your girlfriend reach into the bucket, you pretend to reach forward inadvertently. Then you can pull it up logically."

Lin Yuerufu sang Fu Sui and said: "You have a thick skin when you chase a girl!"

Song Chao and the female bodyguard, two young men and women who have not been involved in the world, both laughed wistfully, obviously not knowing how to answer.

Lin Yueru took Wu Guangyao's arm, and the two walked into the cinema contentedly. Obviously, it was fun to tease young men and women.

"What are you doing in a daze! Just keep it in your heart, and get in now!" Huang Dazhong reminded him that Song Chao was still in a daze, and he quickly followed after he finished speaking.

Wu Guangyao and Lin Yueru are sitting together, waiting for the opening of "One Armed Sword".

Lin Yueru looked at Wu Guangyao and said, “When we were in love, didn’t you invite me to watch a movie?”

Wu Guangyao immediately said: "Aren’t we in love right now!"

Lin Yueru suddenly felt sweet in her heart when she heard it. This husband knew she was a lie!

Wu Guangyao picked up a popcorn, fed it into Lin Yueru’s mouth, and said again: "Sweet or not?"
