I became the richest man in the world after losing my life in a vegetative state - Chapter 1497
#1497: The sigh of Mr. Li and his son! in business
15.3 billion US dollars?
120 billion Hong Kong dollars?
In Li Jiacheng’s opinion, the Empire Group and Sir Yang are unrivaled in the world with this amount of cash.
Conglomerates like those in Europe and the United States have a lot of money, but there are not many that can take out so much cash at once instead of trading through shares.
At this time, Li Jiacheng, who was in the car, heard the news interruption on the car radio, and Li Jiacheng was really shocked.
Even for Sir Yang and the Empire Group’s acquisitions over the years, almost every time he was shocked, he seemed a little numb.
However, every time he acquired, he was surprised for a long time.
When did the Empire Group and Sir Yang start to target the Inchcape Group?
Although Li Jiacheng was also very interested in this British-funded foreign company, he really didn’t believe that he could swallow it up.
If it was in the 1970s, he might still think there was a way.
However, it is difficult for the current Changgang Industrial Group to come up with so much money for trading.
After the Empire Group swallowed up the Inchcape Group this time, there is not much British capital left in Hong Kong.
Except for Stan Smith, who is still struggling to keep the Swire Group, that is, the Kadoorie family’s China Power, Hong Kong Peninsula Hotel and other industries, other large-scale and well-known ones have basically been swallowed up by the Empire Group and Sir Yang.
From the Wharf Group, Hutchison Whampoa, Hong Kong Electric, Qingzhou Cement, Jardine Land, Wheelock, Bank of Hong Kong, Bank of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Dadong Telecommunications, etc., basically all that can be swallowed up have been swallowed up.
In addition to the local British foreign companies in Hong Kong, even the large companies in Country Y seem to have been swallowed up by the Empire Group in the process of privatization.
At this time, Li Jiacheng could not imagine how much wealth Sir Yang had with these companies.
In addition to these companies, the Empire Group’s own game companies, real estate companies, and even other banks, as well as listed companies in Country M.
Li Jiacheng really couldn’t believe it.
. . .
Deep Water Bay Mid-Levels Villa.
Li family.
The bodyguard stopped the car smoothly.
When a bodyguard opened the door, Li Jiacheng got out of the car and walked in.
At this time, the maid was already waiting.
“Mr. Li.”
After the maid greeted, she took down Li Jiacheng’s suit and hung it on the hanger.
“Is Zeju not back yet?”
“Mr. Li, the eldest master is not back yet.”
Now it is the eldest son and daughter-in-law who come home to make more people here, and usually the eldest daughter-in-law goes to Canada, so the eldest son is at home.
As for the second son, it is rare to see him once. He either goes to Southeast Asia to speculate on junk stocks to make money or it is difficult to see where he is.
In the final analysis, in Li Jiacheng’s opinion, the Li family is still too unpopular now.
He still hopes that the eldest son and daughter-in-law can have more children as soon as possible. As for the second son, he can’t control it even if he wants to.
Almost half an hour later.
Li Jiacheng, who was still reading a newspaper on the sofa, saw the door open and it was the eldest son and daughter-in-law who came in.
“Daddy, big news.” Li Zeju came over in shock.
On the way just now, Li Zeju received a call from a friend, saying that the Empire Group held a major news conference in the Inch Pacific Group Building.
Later, the Empire Group and Inch Pacific Group jointly announced the news that the Empire Group acquired the Inch Pacific Group for 120 billion Hong Kong dollars.
In addition, the head of Inch Pacific Group served as the general manager and became a member of the Empire Group’s cabinet.
“Daddy, this Empire Group is really rich. It can acquire any company it wants.”
Li Zeju was really envious.
A Fortune 500 company like Inch Pacific was completely swallowed up by the Empire Group in just one year.
Such major news, if not announced by the Empire Group, others might not know.
In addition, the Empire Group’s strong funds really made Li Zeju envious.
“Dad, the Empire Group is very rich. This time, it swallowed up this Fortune 500 company. I’m afraid that most of the British companies will fall into the hands of the Empire Group.”
Li Jiacheng had thought a lot on the way back just now. Now he heard his eldest son say that, and he didn’t say anything.
He was envious, but it was useless.
The Li family had actually missed the best opportunity.
If they could get Hutchison Whampoa from Shen Bi back then.
Li Jiacheng knew that with the annual profit of Hutchison Whampoa, the Li family could continue to swallow up more companies.
However, after the Li family missed Hutchison Whampoa, it was actually difficult for them to have a chance to rise again.
As for the Bao family?
Originally, the Bao family was very strong. Although they did not swallow up Hutchison Whampoa or Wharf Holdings, they had always been the world’s shipping king.
If Bao Yugang had not died early due to cancer, the Bao family would not have been divided into four. In this case, the Bao family would have developed, although it might not be as good as Sir Yang’s Empire Group.
Globally speaking, the Bao family is still very strong.
Moreover, the second son-in-law of the Bao family is now investing in China, and relying solely on domestic real estate, he is gradually catching up with the Changgang Industrial Group of the Li family.
In other words, although the Bao family is divided into four, it is still very good in other aspects.
At this point, Li Jiacheng guessed that it was because Bao Yugang might have said something to Sir Yang before he died, so that Sir Yang supported Wu Guangzhen, the second son-in-law of the Bao family, so now Wu Guangzhen seems to be going smoothly.
Although Li Jiacheng wanted to cooperate with Sir Yang, it seemed difficult to get him to come to the door in person.
Because since the 1970s, the Li family and the Yang family have had no cooperation at all.
On the contrary, the Yang family took the opportunity to acquire a lot of Changchun Industrial Group shares and became the second largest shareholder now.
Although Li Jiacheng and Yang Ming met several times in Yanjing during the National Day, they nodded every time and had no communication.
Moreover, Li Jiacheng felt that when Sir Yang faced him, he seemed to be a little different from when he faced other Hong Kong rich people.
“If Mr. Bao is still here, I don’t know how Mr. Bao feels now.” Li Jiacheng said.
“Daddy, are you talking about Sir Bao? If Mr. Bao was still here, he would definitely not let the Bao family be divided into four. Of course, I heard that Mr. Bao said many times during his lifetime that it would be a pity to have a son like Sir Yang. There is no fifth daughter, otherwise, the daughter will definitely be married to Sir Yang.”
Li Jiacheng has also heard of these.
Of course, Li Jiacheng felt that Bao Yugang might have said that deliberately to draw closer to Sir Yang.
However, I have to say that what Bao Yugang said, “You should be like Sir Yang when you have children,” Li Jiacheng thinks the same way now.
Indeed, in terms of business, it seems that no Chinese, or even no white man, can surpass Sir Yang.
At least, he hasn’t seen it yet. (End of chapter)
