Chapter 569 Hidden worries
The King of Sparrows Club.

In a private room, Lao Mo threw out two poker cards and cursed in an indignant tone, "Two hundred dollars, I'll pay more than two hundred when I'm on the bus!"

"Shenxiantang looks down on people!"

Guangzai sat opposite and sighed, "It's good to be rich, but forget what grandpa said, if I don't give it to you, you have no right to ask for it!"

"You two bastards are the ones who caused me to be scolded so badly."

Jie Shiyong flicked the ash off his cigarette and said calmly, "I heard that the nuclear power plant investment is several billion US dollars. China provides the people, land, and capital, and China Power is responsible for introducing technology and lobbying the foreigners. The mainland is willing to give Chunghwa Telephone 25 points. What do you think, how many points will Shenxiantang get?"

Guangzai lowered his head to look at the cards and said nothing more. He was hit with a stick during a meeting at Tuodi at noon and didn't want to get involved anymore.

Lao Mo said: "In my opinion, at least half!"

Jie Shiyong shook his head: "I think it's 25 points for China Power, 25 points for Shenxiantang, and about 50 points for Taiwan."

"Have you ever seen Atang do a business that made a loss?"

Morgan swallowed again, his mind wavering, and he sighed, "An investment of several billion dollars will earn tens of billions in the future."

"Such a huge fortune, no wonder it can't be shared with us."

Jie Shiyong complained: "We don't want a single point of shares, we just want more money. But Grandpa is right, the society has long been named Yin."

“There’s no place for us.”

Guangzai sighed: "Alas."

The three of them stopped talking and continued to dig up Big D.

However, there are some worries that are hard to forget. I wonder how many more years Grandpa can last. If Grandpa is gone, how will Shenxiantang deal with them?

Unfortunately, the situation has not yet reached a dead end. Although the three of them advance and retreat in unison and have a tacit understanding, they have not yet reached the point of trusting each other with life and death. Playing cards is one thing, and there are some ideas that they dare not speak out loud.

As for Yin Zhaotang not taking a single cent, they didn't believe it at all. How could Shenxiantang not make money?

What a liar!
If you tell this to others, no one in Hong Kong will believe it.

But this time, what Shenxiantang earned was not money, but the future of Hong Kong Island and the capital for his political survival. Of course, Yin Zhaotang had inside information and would not work for nothing, so he instructed the sovereign fund to buy China Light and Power shares early on.

They would have received a large sum of money at the end of the year, but due to stock fluctuations, it was difficult to give advance notice.

Therefore, Yin Zhaotang did not warn them in advance that if this happened, the dividends shared by the three of them would definitely be wasted.

As the blue chip stock of energy, China Light and Power's stock code is 2. It is the second listed stock in Hong Kong, has an electricity license and is specifically responsible for supplying electricity to Hong Kong Island.

The company's performance has been very good, and its stock price has been rising steadily. The big boss is Michael Kadoorie, the head of one of the two largest Jewish families in Hong Kong Island.

Together with The Peninsula Hotel, Hong Kong Hotel, St. George's Building, Peak Tram, Hong Kong Helicopter Services.
They are all the property of the Kadoorie family.

If Jardine Matheson Group and HSBC are the pillars of the British Commonwealth, then the Kadoorie family is the backbone of British capital in Hong Kong Island.

Otherwise, the mainland would not have agreed to sell 25% of its shares to facilitate the nuclear power plant project. On normal days, the share price of China Power would not fall, but when a stock market crash came, the panic effect would cause the share price to plummet regardless of whether the company was good or bad.

Yin Zhaotang had already instructed the traders to keep a close eye on China Light and Power.

After China Power publicly entered the Daya Bay project, its stock price rose for three consecutive days, pushing its total market value up to HK$50 billion. This shows that the concerns of the grassroots citizens do not exist in the eyes of investors.

In mid-September, the first shipload of equipment sent to Iran successfully arrived at the port. At the end of the month, the Haojiang branch was officially established with a total of 1,530 members.

After completing the mission of thanking the gods, the second ship of arms set out to sea.

It seemed that changing the route to Burma would help them avoid the crisis, and worshipping the gods once again did not attract the attention of Guandi. However, it was Yin Zhaotang's custom to worship the gods every time he went out to sea.

In short, whether there is any problem or not, it is good to pray for your brothers for peace of mind.

On October 1st, National Day, the Zhi Gong Hui held its first celebration event in Hong Kong Island at the Regent Hotel.

Gangsters such as Yin Zhaotang, Ge Zhixiong, Lai Dongsheng were present, and Deputy Commissioner of Chung Lin Police Force Yu Shaoze, Chief Superintendent Qi Liwei, and Senior Superintendent Yam Kuirong were all in attendance.

There were also business and political figures such as Liao Runchen, Liang Chaoying, Dong Jianhua, Huo Zhengting, Hu Bochao, Liao Zhihong, etc. Although the National Day activities were not reported in the newspapers, the luxurious lineup and strong team also aroused widespread discussion among social elites.

You know, the Chinese in Hong Kong have always had the habit of holding "National Day" activities, and the British Hong Kong authorities have long publicly acknowledged and respected Chinese traditions.

If there is no large-scale gathering and no chaos, no one will stop it. However, in previous years, the National Day activities were all on October 10, based on the date of the Wuchang Uprising, also known as the "Double Tenth Celebration", which was the rule of the previous dynasty.

Sometimes Taiwan would send foreign affairs personnel to Hong Kong Island to participate.

It was the first time that celebrities came together to celebrate the National Day. Liang Manping smiled from ear to ear, as if he was basking in the spring breeze.

At the end of the month, Jardine Land's "Exchange Square" twin towers AB were officially completed.

The newly established "Hong Kong Stock Exchange" moved into the Trading Building, and then HSBC, Citibank, many foreign companies, law firms, trading companies, and embassies and consulates came to sign contracts and become tenants of the building.

In an era when land is scarce, Exchange Square is the newest, tallest and most luxurious building in Central. No matter who holds it, it is destined to be sought after.

Each floor of a single building has an area of ​​49 square feet. Both buildings have 1000 floors. The rent varies according to the different floors, orientations, and contract terms, but the average rent per square foot for the first lease is as high as HK$.

Although it is located on a bad floor and has a certain vacancy rate due to its orientation, and the maintenance costs are expensive, but after deducting various factors, the first year's rent has already reached 89 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is as high as billion US dollars after converting at the exchange rate.

Although it is still four times the price that Jardine Matheson paid for the land that year, for Yin Zhaotang, the purchase price has already paid back, and he will make money every year from now on.

All the rent earned will be remitted to Zhongyi Sovereign Fund. The 8th floor of the Trading Building will be used as the owner's floor and will be handed over to the Sovereign Fund for office use after renovation.

According to the agreement, the trading hall on the first floor must be permanently leased to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and the five-story office building must be leased to trading companies for use as office space on a priority basis.

These agreements were signed by Jardine Matheson and the Hong Kong government before the acquisition of the project. Zhongyi Group cannot change them, and the Hong Kong government cannot breach them.

After the arms business, Yin Zhaotang had sufficient cash flow and quickly settled the account of Huamao's advance payment. At that time, Huamao was willing to advance the funds, which was a huge loss to repay the favor. If Lao Zhong continued to delay the payment and dragged Huamao to bankruptcy, who would do the second phase of the project?
In November, Yin Zhaotang decided on the first target of attack and selected the Zhuang family's "Nengda Technology" as the first prey in the stock market. He joined hands with Ho Hung-shing to snipe Nengda and made a net profit of 80 million Hong Kong dollars.
