Jing Gao bought a villa and luxury car when he brought Xiao Qiao and Wu Jingshu to Hong Kong Island in May. The villa I bought at that time was located in Shek O. Xiao Ma Ge and Li Xiao Hua Gua live here. After the establishment of Jiuge Capital, it successively purchased properties across Hong Kong Island.
The seaside villa that Jing Gao and Guo Lingyu were talking about was not the one in Shek O, but the villa in the luxury area of Stanley.
Stanley is located in the southeast of Hong Kong Island and is full of exotic customs. It is most famous for its beaches and beautiful sea views. Among them, Stanley East Bay is known as the "Eight Scenic Spots of Hong Kong". Chung Hom Bay is also a popular place for barbecues and tourism.
And among this beautiful beach and green woods are low-density luxury villas.
Under the golden sunset, planes took off and landed, and there was a huge flow of passengers. Wu Jingshu, the president of Jiuge Capital, had not seen Jing Gao for a while. He met Jing Gao and his four friends outside the busy Hong Kong Island International Airport and said, "Mr. Jing, thank you for your hard work."
Jing Gao smiled and shook hands with Wu Jingshu, and got into the extended version of the Maybach that came to pick him up. The landing price is about 13 million, and it has bulletproof function. Bodyguard Chen Aiyang sat in the passenger seat. Jiang Zi and Wu Jingshu sat in the back with Jing Gao.
The rest of the people got on the bus. A convoy of four vehicles slowly left the airport.
It takes about an hour and a half from the airport to Jinggao's villa in Stanley. Wu Jingshu took out the wine from the wine cabinet in the car, poured half a glass of champagne for Jing Gao and Jiang Zi respectively, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing, there must be a few degrees below zero in Qinhuangdao, right?"
"It can't be compared with Hong Kong Island! I heard that Sanya is warmer in winter. I'll fly to Sanya tomorrow night." Jing Gao took a sip of champagne and put it on the small table at hand, just in time to see Jiang Zi's quiet smile. . He shook his head helplessly.
Wu Jingshu said in surprise: "Mr. Jing, your schedule is a bit tight."
Jing Gao said: "I should have gone back to the capital directly. Don't you want to come over and meet Miss Guo? Our Phoenix Fund will use Hong Kong Island as a base to develop in Southeast Asia."
Wu Jingshu nodded thoughtfully and said: "Mr. Jing, let me report to you the recent work of Jiuge Capital. Jiuge Capital has been collecting and analyzing listed companies on Hong Kong Island recently..."
Jing Gao's businesses on Hong Kong Island include Jiuge Capital, Bank of East Asia, and Dayou Bank. There is also cooperation with Wei Chenjun of "Chenxi Investment".
Before the merger of Uber and Didi, the equity was stored in her company's private equity fund "Satellite 4". The amount of funds exceeds 10 billion US dollars.
His business is huge. Hong Kong Island is a free port and financial center. His unlimited card is almost unrestricted here!
Time passed little by little during the report. Occasionally, Jing Gao would ask Jiang Zi to write down his thoughts on casual instructions. At the end, Wu Jing wrote: "Mr. Jing, the Kadoorie family, a wealthy family in Hong Kong, has sent an invitation and wants to invite you to Hong Kong Island to attend his granddaughter's birthday party in January."
"Granddaughter?" Jiang Zi asked strangely: "Mr. Wu, what does this invitation mean? Do you want to introduce me to Mr. Jing?"
Wu Jingshu pulled down her hair and explained: "No. It's just normal communication. Mr. Jing asked Uber to merge with Didi. This is a US$30 billion commercial merger. The rich people on Hong Kong Island have noticed and intend to Make friends with Jingzong."
The richest people on Hong Kong Island are now all real estate developers. The Kwok brothers of Sun Hung Kai, whose net worth is relatively transparent among real estate developers, is about US$17.5 billion. Henderson's Lee Shau Kee is worth about $30 billion.
Seeing the big from the small, the net worth of these people is not as good as Mr. Jing. It is perfectly normal to want to make friends. Moreover, there is a rumor here in Hong Kong that Jing is always a "white glove" for overseas funds. That requires more closeness.
Jinggao didn't really want to go. He doesn't think highly of the group of businessmen in Hong Kong represented by Li Huanggua. Moreover, apart from real estate and finance, what else is there on Hong Kong Island? Of course, the reputation of the Kadoorie family is still good.
He should be in charge in Shanghai in January. Uber is now the dominant player in the online ride-hailing field, and its internal conflicts are becoming increasingly prominent. He needs to kill some people!
"Jingshu, what do you suggest? Can I not go? Let you go on my behalf."
Wu Jingshu advised: "Mr. Jing, this is your first contact with the rich circle here. Although it is just a birthday party for a junior, the symbolic meaning is still very obvious. I personally recommend that you go."
"We'll see then." Jing Gao gave a vague answer.
…
…
After the motorcade arrived at the villa area in Stanley, it continued to drive for nearly two kilometers before slowly stopping in front of a luxurious villa with a private beach.
Butlers, bodyguards, and chefs are all fully equipped here.
Guo Lingyu arrived early. Jing Gao got out of the car and walked into the villa amidst greetings from the villa staff on both sides. He saw Guo Lingyu standing pretty in a maple leaf turtleneck sweater and a brown long skirt. The combination of clothes has a strong autumn fashion style. I'm very good at matching clothes.
Guo Lingyu smiled and said, "Mr. Jing, it's very grand." She saw the service staff of the villa saying hello to Jing Gao in the living room. Of course, she was born in the Malaysian Kuok family, which has long been commonplace.
Jing Gao came over, smiled and shook hands with Guo Lingyu, "This is my first time here. Jingshu probably wants me to get to know everyone. Miss Guo, I've been waiting for a long time."
Guo Lingyu smiled sweetly and said: "Then why don't you invite me to try the skills of your chef here? I'm almost starving."
Jing Gao laughed, "That's right. Please!"
There are several restaurants in this villa. With the help of the housekeeper, Jing Gao chose the restaurant with a view on the second floor.
Although the winter here on Hong Kong Island is warm, that is relative. The wind is very strong at night on the beach. But by closing the huge windows in the retractable square second-floor balcony restaurant, you can enjoy the beautiful sea view in a suitable environment.
Looking at the tide on the sea, Jing Gao couldn't help but think of "watching the sea" with Liu Sumei in the bedroom. Then he sent a WeChat message. Put down the phone and chat with Guo Lingyu again.
Taking care of Guo Lingyu's taste, the chefs cook French and Western food.
"Is the food to your liking?"
"It's pretty good." Guo Lingyu raised the red wine glass and motioned to Jing Gao across the rectangular table covered with tablecloth, "Mr. Jing, I'm very interested in your Southeast Asia expansion plan. Can you tell me in detail? Tell me. Why is it yes and no?"
Jing Gao held a tall glass. Under the soft light, the red wine liquid exuded the light of money. The bottle of red wine consumed during today's meal is worth 350,000. For one cup, it’s almost 70,000. Said: "
After Uber has won the domestic ride-hailing market, it really needs to expand the market in ASEAN countries and even South Asian countries. But that’s not my real purpose. I hope to master all Internet-related high-tech companies! "
Jing Gao had an enlightenment when he came to Hong Kong Island in May. He is constrained by using unlimited cards in China because domestic capital is controlled. Moreover, he must have a "protective shell" to avoid scrutiny and suspicion. When a person suddenly becomes rich, he will always be noticed.
However, there is no need to worry about these problems in Hong Kong Island. Hong Kong Island is a financial center in Asia where capital can flow in and out freely and regulations are relaxed. He came here with the infinite card in his hand and felt the power of capital, just like holding the Heavenly Sword!
Bank of East Asia is a Hong Kong-listed company and has mainland bank qualifications, which is related to the financial layout of Phoenix Fund. His operations are still compliant. Many of them are illegal in lending to affiliated companies.
However, Jiuge Capital and Dayou Bank are both his personal businesses. Moreover, it holds all financial licenses in Hong Kong Island.
He wants to unleash the power of capital.
Guo Lingyu sipped the mushroom soup gracefully and said with a slight thought: "Mr. Jing, I roughly understand what you mean. You are trying to use the name of Uber to acquire high-tech companies in Nanyang with the capital of Phoenix Fund. ,Right?"
Jing Gao smiled and nodded, "Yeah."
Guo Lingyu said: "Mr. Jing, with all due respect. It is difficult to fully grasp it. We will face competition from global companies such as Tencent, Alibaba, Uber, Apple, etc. It also includes capital that is optimistic about Southeast Asia. For example, Japan's SoftBank, etc. . Therefore, leaving this matter to me can only expand the influence of Phoenix Fund in Southeast Asia, but it is very difficult to fully grasp it."
Jing Gao smiled and raised a finger, "I will give you 20 billion U.S. dollars."
How many? Guo Lingyu felt as if her heart had stopped for a moment. Her bright eyes stared blankly at Jing Gao, as if she were looking at her first love! Because Jing Gao is now a golden mountain in her eyes!
She works at Goldman Sachs herself. Very sensitive to numbers. You know, as a major international investment bank, Goldman Sachs cannot invest so much money in Southeast Asia and South Asia. Crazy numbers!
Jing Gao smiled again and raised his second finger, "If it's not enough, I'll give you another 30 billion U.S. dollars."
Guo Lingyu touched her forehead with her hand and shouted, "Oh my God. Mr. Jing, how can this not be enough?"
Jing Gao smiled and sipped his wine and said: "If we throw in 50 billion US dollars, I have an additional request. I want to destroy all Galaxy Group's business in Southeast Asia."
See you in the picture!
His affairs with the Galaxy Group were never over.
Guo Lingyu finally understood. She has heard about the grievances between Jing Gao and the Galaxy Group. Someone from the Guo family works in Galaxy Group. Responsible for some business in Southeast Asia. Such as mining, chemical plants, papermaking, ocean transportation, etc.
Guo Lingyu made her statement quickly, stood up, and stretched out her hand to Jing Gao across the dining table, "Mr. Jing, I will work under your command from now on. Happy cooperation!"
Jing Gao held Guo Lingyu's soft little hand, feeling very happy.
