Chapter 425 Brothers, let’s have a big meal together
Lao Mo perked up and immediately replied, "Eat, the meat of the foreigners, it's a waste if you don't eat it, but it comes from Taikoo, Jardine Matheson, and Ocean Bank."
"Brothers, do you think the melons and dates in your pockets are enough?"
Gao Laosen slapped himself and said with a flattering smile: "Atang, do you have a solution?"
If you only know how to fight but not eat brains, you will become poorer and poorer. Only by fighting and robbing at the same time, and using war to support war, can you become more powerful and stronger.
There have been many people in the underworld who have become famous through fighting, but Lao Zhong’s rise is unique. The reason for this is that after each battle, Shenxiantang has a way to get some meat.
In other words, Shenxiantang will not fight a battle without profit!
Seeing everyone looking forward to it, Yin Zhaotang stopped hiding and said slowly, "The battle in the New Territories emptied my treasury. If I want to take over the foreign company, I must set up a sovereign fund."
“Use sovereign funds to buy the properties sold by foreign companies, and then return the dividends to the community.”
"It is far from enough to rely on the money from a few gangs and big bosses."
Guangzi frowned and asked in confusion: "Atang, I have heard of bond funds and stock funds, but what is a sovereign fund?"
Gao Laosen's expression was serious. He answered, "It is an investment fund held by the state, created with people's pensions, or oil and gas revenues, and foreign exchange reserves."
“It is affiliated with a sovereign government, backed by violence, and its revenue is often used in areas such as people’s livelihood welfare, national construction, and government spending.”
"It has three characteristics: a huge capital pool, a wide range of investment coverage, and close ties with the regime. Investors often call it the 'main force'."
"The counterpart is international hot money made up of consortiums and financial institutions, and the rest are called retail investors."
Fat Cat played with the teapot, and then he realized something. He raised his head and said, "Ah Tang, do you mean to use all the money in the family to set up a fund like the national government?"
Yin Zhaotang nodded slowly and said slowly: "Yes, Grandpa."
"I have a tip that Jardine Matheson has suffered heavy losses and is on the verge of bankruptcy. On the one hand, it is seeking capital injection from the headquarters, and on the other hand, it is planning to sell the shares of its subsidiaries, including Hong Kong Land, Dairy Farm, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Hong Kong Electric, and Hong Kong Media."
"Swire Properties and Hysan Properties are interested in selling multiple plots of land in Admiralty and Causeway Bay. The shares of HSBC, Citigroup, HK Electric and other foreign companies have plummeted and have fallen below their true prices."
"Chinese businessmen from all walks of life have already made plans to take action. Some are buying land, some are buying buildings, and some are buying stocks in the stock market and conducting business mergers and acquisitions. They are all taking multiple actions."
"In a few years, all Chinese merchants in Hong Kong will usher in great development. Lao Zhong rushed to the front, shed blood and risked his life. When the meat is divided, you can't take the smallest piece, right?"
"It is our great responsibility to take the brothers to eat tea and meals and share pork."
Lao Mo, Jie Shiyong and Chukou Qiang all nodded.
Guangzai tapped the table with his finger, pondered for a while, and said, "Atang, your reasoning is accepted by the brothers. The brothers usually buy stocks at most, and have never heard of sovereign funds."
"Besides, you are still taking the society's money. You should make it clear what to do next. Brothers, take the money clearly, and make a fortune together!"
Yin Zhaotang took a deep puff of his cigar and said firmly: "I plan to use the fund to take over the Hong Kong Land Company and actively acquire the land held by the foreign companies!" A foreign company has a minimum size of tens of billions of US dollars. Since the Qing Dynasty, it has been sucking blood from China, and its blood bar is actually very thick. The modernization of European and American countries is due to the blood tax of the Chinese.
Portugal, Britain, and France became rich by selling opium to their own countries. The United States and Canada hired Chinese workers to build railways, reclaim farmland, and participate in gold mining.
It is extremely difficult to bring down a British company. During the Ding Rights Storm, British companies lost as much as HK$50 billion, but the big companies such as Swire and HSBC have not sold their core assets. Such as the Swire Sugar Refinery, Cathay Pacific, container terminals, automobile trading companies, Coca-Cola franchise, etc.
Only Jardine Matheson, which has been in a very bad state in recent years, had its capital pool penetrated and had to sell off its core assets. This opportunity must be seized to acquire Hong Kong Land and stage a "snake swallowing a whale"!
Zhongyitang can undergo a major transformation and become a well-known financial group.
It has completely distanced itself from ordinary triads and is now firmly ahead of the Sun Kee and Number Gang. In about ten years, it is expected to develop into the largest triad in Hong Kong.
But the only tycoons in Hong Kong who had the money to acquire the Hong Kong property company were Fok Kwun-tai, Li Ka-shing, Kwok Tak-sing, Cheng Yu-tong and Fung King-hei.
Big bosses like Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, and Hu Yingxiang are all short of strength. The reason why capital is called capital is that it uses a huge pool of funds to erect transaction barriers and drive poor guys out!
In order to realize the ambition of swallowing a whale, the only way is to concentrate all efforts on big things, gather all Lao Zhong's money, establish a sovereign fund, and launch a major counterattack in the capital market.
The sovereign fund is actually the "treasury" of a regime, which is often divided into one to three parts: one is diversified investment with a conservative strategy, one focuses on stocks and foreign exchange and pursues returns, and one buys bonds and energy to hedge risks.
If a sovereign fund incurs losses, it will directly affect the national economy and even overthrow the regime. If a group of people set up a sovereign fund, it is equivalent to putting all their capital on the line. If the income is good, they will prosper. If the income is not good, no matter how great their reputation is, it will be ruined and they will be hunted down by their brothers.
Before doing anything, one must think about the worst consequences, but Yin Zhaotang still wants to give it a try.
"I believe that the land price in Hong Kong Island will increase in the future. If I buy Hong Kong Land now, I will be able to make money by renting out Hong Kong Land properties in the future."
"The land sold by the foreigners is all good land, located in the core areas. Within three years, it will definitely increase in value. Therefore, after the establishment of the sovereign fund, there is a three-year lock-up period and redemption is not allowed."
"Dividends will be paid as usual, and after three years, trading will be free. The fund's operating expenses and investment projects will be disclosed on time, and monthly reports will be issued for the brothers to review."
Fat Cat said bluntly: "I understand, you are bullish on rising land prices, betting that peace will return and the economy will continue to rise!"
Yin Zhaotang's face was calm as he explained, "It's not a gamble. It's my hair and skin. They only give me one choice. There is only one way for the future of Hong Kong Island."
Fat Cat held the dragon-headed cane, stood up and said loudly: "Atang led the brothers to fight for at least ten years of peace. We Lao Zhong will not fight outsiders in the future, and outsiders should be thankful."
"To set up a sovereign fund, we must first be in charge! Today, we Lao Zhong can be in charge of Hong Kong Island, so we have the ability to run a sovereign fund. All the money in the society's public account will be added to the fund, and the monthly contributions of each hall will be uniformly included in the fund in the future."
"If you want to use your personal account to subscribe, please talk to Atang privately. In the future, the Zhongyitang sovereign fund will be handed over to Atang to manage. Do you all have any objections?"
Lao Mo opened his right palm, stood up and shouted: "Brother Tang is willing to take the brothers to a big tea and dinner, the brothers are so happy that they can't wait. I will personally pledge 5 million!"
Guang Zai clapped his hands on his thighs and shouted excitedly, "No problem, we brothers know how much money Brother Tang can make!"
"I'll buy three million first."
Gao Laosen spread his hands and laughed: "Good fortune is coming, let's get rich, pool our capital and get rich together"
