I became the richest man in the world after losing my life in a vegetative state - Chapter 1498
#1498: 1996
Two very important things happened in Hong Kong at the end of 1995.
One was the Hong Kong Central Park proposed by Sir Young. After two years of construction, it was officially opened to the public on Christmas Day.
This is the world’s largest Hong Kong Central Park, which was built on the basis of New York’s Central Park.
It can be said that it is very rare in the city center of Hong Kong, where every inch of land is valuable.
Once the Hong Kong Central Park was opened, it immediately attracted praise from Hong Kong citizens and tourists from all over the world, and greatly promoted the development of Hong Kong’s tourism industry.
Another thing is that the Empire Group has been secretly acquiring the Fortune 500 company, the Inchcape Group, which is also known as the last British-owned foreign company in Hong Kong, since last year. In the end, the Empire Group swallowed up this large group company for 120 billion Hong Kong dollars.
This acquisition news not only shocked all walks of life in Hong Kong, but also shocked many people around the world when they heard the news.
This further shows that the Empire Group is really rich enough to rival a country and is not comparable to ordinary companies.
Yingzhijie Group was swallowed up by Empire Group, and Zheng Mingxun was still the boss. However, Zheng Mingxun also joined the Empire Group cabinet and became a member of the new cabinet.
The day after Yingzhijie Group was announced to be acquired by Empire Group.
That is, the day after Christmas.
Yang Ming, Mai Lisi, Ma Shimin, Wei Li, Huo Jianning, Tang Shilian, Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoshan, Yingla and others came to Yingzhijie Pacific Building for inspection.
At this time, downstairs of Yingzhijie Pacific Group Building.
In addition to Zheng Mingxun, who continued to serve as the boss of Yingzhijie Pacific Group, that is, the general manager, there were other major executives of Yingzhijie Group.
Including Chinese and white executives, they were waiting for the new boss to arrive here early.
When Yang Ming’s Rolls-Royce car came not far away.
The secretary next to Zheng Mingxun had already seen: “General Manager, Sir Yang is coming soon.”
“Everyone get ready.”
Although there was no red carpet on the ground.
However, now Sir Yang is visiting the headquarters of Yingzhijie Pacific Group Building for the first time, Zheng Mingxun attaches great importance to it.
When Yang Ming’s Rolls-Royce stopped.
The bodyguard went to open the door.
Yang Ming got out of the car and saw this high-rise building in the central district of Hong Kong. It is also the headquarters and office center of the Inchcape Group in Hong Kong and even in the Asia-Pacific region.
Although Yang Ming can see this building from his Empire Group headquarters building.
However, this is his first time here.
“Boss, welcome to inspect the Inchcape Pacific Group headquarters center.” Zheng Mingxun came over and said respectfully.
Yesterday morning, the two met for the first time.
For this Sir Yang, who has long been famous, the first meeting yesterday left a deep impression on Zheng Mingxun.
In other words, in Zheng Mingxun’s view, Sir Yang is a very powerful person, not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Yang Ming and Zheng Mingxun nodded and shook hands, and then Zheng Mingxun introduced him to other executives.
At first glance, they are all white or Chinese executives.
In fact, white executives are still the majority.
In this regard, the British foreign companies in Hong Kong are basically like that, that is, after the Empire Group acquired other British foreign companies, there are more Chinese executives.
The Inchcape Pacific Group was just swallowed up now, so naturally it still has mainly white executives.
After Zheng Mingxun introduced these main executives, Yang Ming went inside.
This is a Fortune 500 company, so its own strength is naturally not simple.
In addition, it has been developing domestically in recent years, and its business is increasing. In fact, compared with the traditional four major foreign companies, Taikoo Foreign Trade, its strength is not much different.
Zheng Mingxun introduced the situation of the Inchcape Group to him.
In fact, Yang Ming knew all these.
Before acquiring the Inchcape Group, Yang Ming knew a lot about Inchcape.
However, the person in charge of the Inchcape Group’s Y Country Headquarters, that is, the London Headquarters, has not come to report to him yet.
Yang Ming also knew that the person in charge there would soon fly to Hong Kong.
For Yang Ming, if the Empire Group swallowed up this company, he would basically not interfere unless there was a big problem. Of course, some businesses are occasional with other businesses of the Empire Group, and some changes may be made.
The inspection started in the morning.
At lunch time.
Yang Ming accompanied the executives of the Yingzhijie Group to have a simple lunch here. In the afternoon, Yang Ming also left the Yingzhijie Group Building.
. . .
Yang Ming inspected the Yingzhijie Pacific Group.
Five days later.
It was December 31, 1995.
In other words, today is the last day of the new calendar in 1995. After twelve o’clock tonight, tomorrow will be 1996.
I have to say that time flies very fast.
Because today is Sunday.
Yang Ming stayed in the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa and did not return to the Empire Group Building.
However, when the evening came, he thought that he had not been to Deng Liyun for some time, and he wanted to see Deng Liyun.
It was more than seven o’clock in the evening.
After dinner, Yang Ming took Ah Zhu and some bodyguards and drove to the Mid-Levels Villa where Deng Liyun lived.
Arrived there.
Soon the door of the villa opened.
Yang Ming and Ah Zhu got out of the car and went upstairs.
It was Deng Liyun who came out to greet him.
Now Deng Lijun has completely withdrawn from the entertainment industry, but she spends most of her time indulging in music, including traditional music and Western music.
In addition, because Nakamori Mingcai stayed here and Lin Qingxia was here to accompany her, she didn’t feel bored.
If she really missed her daughter Yang Baozhu, she would quietly fly to Country Y to see her daughter.
“Sir, why are you here suddenly?”
Seeing Yang Ming suddenly come over, Deng Lijun still felt a little strange.
“It’s just that I haven’t seen you for some time, so I came.”
Deng Lijun pulled Yang Ming to the room.
For Deng Lijun, there is nothing to ask for now.
There is no shortage of money. In addition to the money given by Yang Ming, there are also houses. As for her mother’s family, that is, her parents and her eldest brother and younger brother, they are also living better and better.
With Yang Ming’s support, the Deng family’s property assets in Taiwan are also increasing.
In addition, although Deng Lijun has completely withdrawn from the entertainment industry, the albums she released before are still valuable.
The most important thing is that now there is Yang Ming and her daughter Yang Baozhu.
For Deng Liyun, there is really nothing to ask for.
Now that Yang Ming has arrived, Deng Liyun also talks about some ordinary things.
“Sir, why don’t you let Qingxia accompany you?” Deng Liyun said on the side.
She had mentioned it to Yang Ming a long time ago.
However, Yang Ming seemed to disagree.
. . .
It was almost dawn.
Yang Ming and Azhu took a car to leave Deng Liyun’s villa on the hillside.
When he went up to the study on the third floor.
Not long after he sat down, the sound of the wall clock rang directly.
Yang Ming looked up and it was exactly midnight.
This means.
The new year has arrived.
1996 has come. (End of this chapter)
