I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island - Chapter 645

Chapter 645: 【Consortium】








Chapter 645 【Consortium】

After the New Year, two large investments occurred in the real estate industry on Hong Kong Island;

The first major investment came from Hongkong Land Company. The Land Company won the bid for the property development rights around Baibi Mountain, which is located on the west side of the island and near Shek O, at a price of 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. For high-end villas, it is estimated that the entire investment will cost more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The second big investment is a new consortium led by Hang Lung, including Xinhuanyu (Zheng Yutong), Kailian International, Liao Chuangxing, Yihua Yixin, Yangtze River Industrial and other companies. The new consortium won the second section of Admiralty (9 subway Station) property development rights.

Regarding the first big investment, Wu Guangyao chose not to participate in the bidding for three reasons:

First, Cheung Kong Holdings will bid for the land around Silverline Bay next month to build a villa complex and high-end residential buildings there; after completion, it will be the media center of Qingshuiwan (TVB headquarters, Oriental Studios, Oriental Pictures) Reflecting each other; after the entire Clearwater Bay + Silverline Bay is completed, it will become Hong Kong's "Media Capital".

Second, Wu Guangyao hopes that the greater the investment pace of Land, the better, so that after important negotiations, it will become the "debt king" of Hong Kong Island, and it will be convenient for Wu Guangyao to initiate goodwill acquisitions.

Third, for residential projects, Wu Guangyao is not very concerned and can be used as bait; but if it is related to the auction of the Central District Land King, Wu Guangyao is completely impossible to let others; for high-quality commercial land, it must be done. Full force.

As for the second big investment, the Admiralty Station inside the property development area is a commercial land of more than 90,000 square feet. According to logic, it is impossible for Wu Guangyao to give up; but now that he knows that the consortium led by Hang Lung has to be empty-handed Going back, Wu Guangyao decided to let it out first and then take it back.

In mid-February, Wu Guangyao brought Wu Xianying to the YKK Group headquarters and met with the Yoshida family.

The Yoshida family is the family of Tadao Yoshida. Toyo YKK Zipper has developed into a huge group company over the years;

Not only has established a dominant position in the high-end zipper field, but also has a very good development in the chemical field, overseas investment, and machinery manufacturing.

The biggest contribution of this is Tadao Yoshida’s personal ability;

At the beginning, Wu Guangyao paid some price in order to keep Tadao Yoshida and let him invest in various aspects with the YYK Zipper Group.

At this time, YKK Group is divided into four major businesses, namely zippers, chemical products, mineral investment, and machinery manufacturing;

In order to retain Tadao Yoshida, Wu Guangyao’s price was shares in chemical products, mineral investment, and machinery manufacturing;

In these subsidiaries, Tadao Yoshida owns shares comparable to Wu Guangyao.

Of course, it's all worth it!

If you don’t do this, Tadao Yoshida can use his dividends to start his own business;

In that case, how could YKK zipper develop into today’s YKK group!

In the office,

Wu Guangyao and Wu Xianying, Yoshida Tadao and his son Yoshida Tadao are in talks.

Tadahiro Yoshida is the eldest son of Tadao Yoshida, 35 years old this year, the vice chairman of YKK Group;

Tadao Yoshida wants to support his son as the chairman of YKK Zipper, and also intends to regain the leadership of YKK Zipper.

"Brother Yoshida, the YKK Group is at a dangerous moment at this time! If you and I don't agree, this group will fall apart." Wu Guangyao said with a smile.

73-year-old Yoshida Tadao said sincerely: “Mr. Wu, for so many years, I know that what you care about is profit, so why bother to fight for the dominance of the YKK Group with my family!”

YKK Group can have today’s results, which has a lot to do with Yoshida Tadao’s dedication;

But business is business, who told you to lose the company in the first place;

However, Wu Guangyao also changed his mind at this time, intending to handle this matter peacefully!

"Mr. Yoshida, if you promise me a few things; the YKK Group can be jointly operated by your family and my family in the future, and I can promise to let your son Tadahiro Yoshida become the new chairman!"

It is impossible to completely withdraw from the management;

After all, at this time, Wu Guangyao has an advantage in the value of the entire group.

Yoshida Tadao was ecstatic, and finally hoped to regain the dominance of YKK;

In order to achieve this, I have dedicated my life to YKK over the years;

If it’s not for YKK, you can start your own business a second time!

"You say!"

Wu Guangyao nodded and said, “First, listing YKK Group will benefit the company’s expansion and better management!”

Tadao Yoshida nodded quickly, and said, "I have always thought of listing YKK!"

Nonsense, you used to go public to weaken my controlling stake. Don’t I know, Wu Guangyao thought in his heart.

Wu Guangyao continued: “Secondly, YKK Group and Chiba Bank cross-shareholding and form an alliance.”

Yoshida Tadao’s old eyes were shrewd, and he smiled and said, "Mr. Wu has a good son!"

Wu Xianying said modestly: "Thank you for the compliment of seniors, I am far worse than Yoshida-san!"

After everyone talked about business, Tadao Yoshida said readily: “This is a good thing. It will be more beneficial to the development of YKK Group to form an alliance with Chiba Bank and Lenovo Group.”

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "Third, we need to continue to retain some management rights, after all, we have also paid a lot!"

Yoshida Tadao knows that this is already a very good result!

Information, these years I have worked hard to operate YKK, and PG Zipper Group is also part of the management.

"Yes, YKK Group is the result of our two families' efforts!"

Wu Guangyao stood up, stretched out his right hand, and said: "I hope the friendship between our two families will last and we will witness the future together!"

After more than 20 years, Yoshida Tadao, who has won the dominance, now stands up like a dead tree in the spring;

"The friendship will last forever, and we will jointly run the YKK Group."

Wu Guangyao likes to form a consortium of Chiba Bank, which is called the Chiba Consortium;

Because Japan has the Mitsubishi Foundation, the Mitsui Foundation, and the Sanhe Foundation, the Wu family, the Chiba Foundation, means that the ‘thousand’ is stronger than the ‘three’;

Of course, it's still far away at this time!

In the Wu family villa, Wu Guangyao is holding a Japanese Wu family meeting;

Participants include Wu Guangyao, Hisano Keka, Haruko, and three sons over 20 years old-Wu Xianying, Wu Xiandong, and Wu Xiansen.

"At present, the Chiba Consortium already has three companies, and these three companies are very large in scale. It can be said that they have made a good start! Next, you will join the Chiba Consortium with jewelry companies and electrical appliances chains."

Kusano Keika happily said, "Yes, husband!"

Wu Guangyao nodded, and said to Haruko: "I plan to spin off the cartoon business from Toyo and leave it to you to manage. Recently, you have to integrate these resources at a rapid pace, and raise a knife to the industry. Acquisition, the fastest establishment of a large publishing group, a publishing group that is a benchmark for the First Bridge Group."

Haruko happily said, "Yes! But if you do this, the eldest sister will not be upset!"

Wu Guangyao waved his hand and said, "No! Besides, you originally had half of the shares, but now it's just a divestiture of assets for better development! In the future, the animation industry on both sides can cooperate or compete. It is beneficial to the development of the family in this regard."

In these years, the business of Oriental Media Group’s comics industry in Japan has been mainly carried out through joint ventures;

Even in the shares, Kusano Keka and Haruko accounted for 51%, while Oriental Media Group only had 49%;

After all, Wu Guangyao is also worried about some people, so he makes a fuss about this!

As the person in charge of the consortium, Wu Xianying was very happy at this time. When his father came, he added a lot of strength to the consortium!

"After my father's operations, the Chiba Consortium has been in the electronics, chemical, mechanical, cultural, and jewellery fields. It can be said that it has taken an important step. Later, I will lobby those companies with potential. Join us and finally form the seventh largest consortium in Dongying." Wu Xianying said ambitiously.

Looking at his son's ambitious, Wu Guangyao was very happy!

"It is a good thing for these companies to join the Chiba Consortium, but if the Chiba Consortium wants to truly become the seventh largest consortium in Japan, we have to rely on ourselves! I will allocate $3 billion to you for your business activities in the 1980s! "

All wives and sons were excited, and the 3 billion US dollars was almost double the total assets of the Japanese family;

Furthermore, 10% of the shares of Lenovo Group and 28% of the shares of Chiba Bank were given by Wu Guangyao over the past two years, worth about US$2 billion.

In other words, before this, the total assets of Dongying's Wu family will not exceed one billion US dollars.

After the release of family love, everyone calm down!

Wu Guangyao continued: “You can choose to invest part of the investment project of 3 billion US dollars, and I will help you to advise part of it!”

Although they are both wives and children, Wu Guangyao still does not talk about the future development of Japan, and only advises everyone on how to proceed.

Wu Xianying said: "With my father's staff, we are just as powerful as a tiger! Chiba Bank recently earned a full US$400 million in gold futures, and I am very jealous. Bank, I will never let so much profit be shared with those shareholders."

This is the truth. When the Wu family took over Chiba Bank, Tian Shang Yu also lost a full 240 million US dollars;

In order to fill this hole, the Wu family earned 400 million US dollars back.

"Haruko, these are two manga outlines. The publisher of the new group will draw them out!" Wu Guangyao took out a bunch of materials and handed it to Haruko.

Haruko took it and looked at it seriously!

"Brother, this is not what you came up with!" Haruko asked curiously.

"No, someone gave an outline, I will show it to you!" Wu Guangyao denied.

In fact, the two manga outlines one is "Slam Dunk", and the previous life is collectively called "Captain Tsubasa" and "Baseball Hero" as the three pinnacles of Japanese sports manga.

But in this life, even "Football Boy" was published by Oriental Comics in advance, and "Baseball Hero" was left to the Shogakukan;

As for "Slam Dunk" is a comic published in the 90s in the previous life, this time it happens to be the flagship comic product for the newly integrated company.

As for the other outline, it is "One Piece" which is more popular than "Slam Dunk";

Wu Guangyao believes that as soon as these two comics are born, plus the classic comics from the Oriental Comics Club (copyright sharing), the new combination of publishers will pass Xiaoxueguan and Jingying Club.

After reading, Haruko doubted: "Are these two comics very creative?"

Wu Guangyao frowned, pulled Haruko into his arms, and said solemnly: "You dare to doubt my vision, you have gotten a lot of courage!"

Although Haruko knew that Wu Guangyao would not be angry, she still pretended to be scared and said, "Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't doubt your vision! Or, punish me severely!"

Wu Guangyao pretended to think, but in fact he only deliberately scared Haruko!

Haruko rolled her eyes and whispered: "Or I will dedicate Miko to you, you can play whatever you want!"

Wu Guangyao was quite heart-shaped in an instant, not because he couldn't play Miko, but ‘play as you want’ is the key!

Sony headquarters.

Wu Guangyao, Akio Morita, and Noriyoshi Oga were in the laboratory, discussing with a group of engineers.

It turns out that these engineers are all R&D personnel in the Sony notebook project team;

The Sony notebook R&D project team was established as early as 1979;

Of course, the research and development of such large-scale projects may not necessarily be developed in five years without precedent.

However, although Wu Guangyao does not understand technology, he understands the structure of the notebook. These are all decisive.

In the previous life, Toshiba developed the world’s first notebook T1100 in 1985. The T1100 has almost all the basic functions of a modern notebook computer: LCD display, built-in rechargeable battery, Microsoft-architecture BIOS, and equipped with Intel 80C88 processor and 256Kb memory, with a total weight of 4.1 Kg;

It is no exaggeration to say that the design ideas of later notebook computers are all inherited from the T1100, but the electronic components are becoming more powerful and smaller.

But when Wu Guangyao described the ideal structure of the notebook to everyone, a group of engineers suddenly felt a kind of clarity;

R&D according to this structure of the president can save more time!

Walking out of the laboratory, Wu Guangyao said to Akio Morita and Norio Oga: “Silicon Valley will also proceed simultaneously and increase capital investment. We must hurry up in the United States to develop notebooks and occupy the head of this market.”

The two nodded, and everyone liked the ambitious head of the president;

In the hearts of Japanese people, although they recognize the advanced technology of the United States, they also have great confidence in themselves. Japanese electronic technology is not weaker than that of the United States;

The same is true. Throughout the 1980s, Japan not only had an advantage over the United States in the cost of electronic products, but also had a tendency to catch up in the technology of its products.

This is why the United States wants to clean up this dog leg!

came to the office, Wu Guangyao invited the two to sit down;

"How is the progress of Discman (CDplayer)?" Wu Guangyao asked with concern.

Oga Norio hastily said: "The release will begin in June, and the final debugging is currently being done!"

Wu Guangyao nodded. In the field of CD, Sony is the leader in setting standards, and only Philips of the Netherlands can compete;

And Sony is the inventor of the Walkman (tape), currently occupying the world's largest market for Walkman;

So as the leader of the three digital walkman CDplayers, it is of course taken by Sony.

Wu Guangyao nodded and said: "In the field of video games, we have basically reached the ceiling; we can only make breakthroughs in game software and CD game consoles. Among them, CD game consoles. Let's talk about it in the late 1980s; in terms of game software, we have adopted our own R&D and outsourcing, and there is no need to worry about the leading nature of the product!"

The two listened and nodded proudly!

Indeed, in the field of video games, red and white machines are the ceiling;

In the field of game software, Wu Guangyao and Miyamoto Shigeru talked about the concept of "Pokémon", so classic games are basically enough for Sony to rule the field of video games.

Akio Morita said: "So, the most important thing for Sony's next products is mobile phones, personal computers and other fields!"

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "Well, Sony and Lenovo are two companies, one is in the field of personal consumer electronics, the other is in the field of household appliances, and the business is not repeated at all; and Lenovo Electronics is the backing of the two companies, and the three companies work together. , To make the greatest contribution to human science and technology!"

At this time, Wu Guangyao is full of confidence, because he has seen that Japan’s talents are superior, coupled with his own time perspective, in the field of electronic products, he must be able to achieve ‘greatness’.

As for the future sanctions of the United States, it is only a relative increase in export costs!

It should be noted that Japan’s electronics field has always been second only to the United States, even after South Korea rose up.
