I became the richest man in the world after losing my life in a vegetative state.

1995 12 Month 24 Day.

Sunday.

Today is also Christmas Eve.

in the morning.

The Hong Kong Central Park was unveiled and opened by the Governor of Hong Kong, Chung Yi-kit, and others.

Although Yang Ming and others were invited to participate, Yang Ming remembered that he had gone a few days ago, so he did not go again, but sent Diana and others there.

This time, after the grand unveiling ceremony.

Xiangjiang Central Park is officially open to the public, and it is free and does not charge any tickets.

That day, because it was Sunday, it was Christmas Eve.

In addition to Hong Kong's diverse population of nearly one million people servicing from Hong Kong Central Park, there are also hundreds of thousands of other tourists from around the world who have poured in.

Even then, more than one million people poured into this 400-hectare park, and it still seemed very wide inside.

this day.

Yang Ming stayed at the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay.

Because a grand Christmas Eve banquet is also held here today.

In addition to inviting the Governor of Hong Kong, Mr. and Mrs. Zhong Yijie, the Chief Secretary, the Financial Secretary, the Department of Justice, etc., they were mainly white executives from the Imperial Group.

Including Mai Lisi, Ma Shiming, Wei Li, Mou Shili, Wei Peter, Xia Boyin, Shen Bi and so on.

There are still many people coming.

Although it was not as lively as the New Year’s Eve dinner, there were really many guests.

18:30 in the evening.

The Christmas Eve dinner officially begins.

The dinner was mainly attended by Diana, Sarah, etc. as Yang Ming's hostesses, as well as other white executives.

It can be said that it is still very lively.

In addition, Huo Jianning also attended the Christmas Eve dinner for the first time.

In fact, he attended this dinner because he had something important to do.

Also, Li Fuzhen, the eldest princess of the Sanxing Group, also came to participate.

The Christmas Eve dinner lasted until past nine o'clock in the evening.

Before the dinner ended, Yang Ming gave a golden apple to every guest attending tonight's Christmas Eve dinner.

And these golden apples are pure gold, each weighing at least one pound.

According to the current gold price, it is about 385 US dollars per ounce, and one pound of gold is about 17.6 ounces. After calculation, this golden apple is worth more than US dollars, which is more than Hong Kong dollars.

It doesn't seem like much.

In fact, money is still very valuable now, and the price of gold will continue to rise, and this golden apple is different from ordinary gold and has more collection value.

In other words, every guest who attended tonight got a very nice gift.

Many guests said goodbye to Yang Ming.

Soon, there were only a few people left here.

One is Meris, the general manager of the Imperial Group Cabinet.

One is Huo Jianning, deputy general manager of the Imperial Group Cabinet.

One is Ma Shimin, the fourth most powerful person in the Imperial Group and a member of the cabinet.

There is also Wei Li, the executive president of Hutchison Whampoa, a subsidiary of Empire Group, and the fifth-ranking figure in Empire Group.

These four people stayed.

In particular, Huo Jianning's arrival was naturally related to one thing.

That was last year, Yang Ming had already begun planning to acquire the last foreign bank in Hong Kong.

The hero of Yingzhijie.

During this year, Imperial Group has been secretly talking to Yingzhijie's shareholders.

Talked for a long time.

Finally, last week, Imperial Group acquired the Yingzhijie Group for HK$1200 billion, or US$153 billion.

In 1995, acquiring a group for more than billion Hong Kong dollars was very crazy and terrifying.

However, the acquisition is now closed.

Except for the core figures within the Imperial Group, no outsiders knew.

"Boss, we have successfully acquired Yingzhijie. I don't know when it will be officially announced."

In fact, the scale of Yingzhijie Group is very large, not even inferior to the previous four major foreign banks in Hong Kong, and larger than Wharf Bank.

However, Yingzhijie was relatively low-key before, and it was somewhat different from the four major foreign banks.

In the 1990s, Yingzhijie Pacific has become the largest trading house in Hong Kong. As a subsidiary of Yingzhijie Group, Yingzhijie Pacific is mainly responsible for the group's business in mainland China, Hong Kong, Haojiang, Bay, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Cambodia. business in China, Laowa and other regions.

Among them, Xiangjiang is the group's business focus, and all of the group's core businesses are very active in Xiangjiang.

In terms of automobile distribution, Yingzhijie Pacific, as the main automobile distributor in Hong Kong, represents Toyota, Masters, Aston Martin, Bentley, Junlang, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Lexus, Lotus, Peugeot, Rolls-Royce, Rover, and Cross Country Rover. , Hino trucks and other brands of automobiles are sold, and the cars distributed account for about 40% of the Xiangjiang automobile market.

In terms of market expansion, Yingzhijie Pacific distributes more than 200 brands of daily necessities, medical drugs, personal care products, sporting goods, brand-name leisure products and durable goods in Xiangjiang. It also represents various world-famous wines for 30 principals. . In addition, Yingzhijie Pacific is a major distributor of office equipment in Hong Kong - especially photocopiers and fax machines, as well as various industrial and engineering products and building materials.

In terms of commercial services, Yingzhijie Insurance is one of the largest insurance intermediaries in Hong Kong. It provides insurance consulting services across various industries in Hong Kong, including construction, shipping, manufacturing and jewelry firms. It also serves as an agent for many well-known insurance companies in the world. acting.

Yingzhijie Pacific also provides quality testing and safety verification services for various export products in Xiangjiang, from toys, electronic products, textiles to ready-made clothing, etc. Its inspection equipment in Xiangjiang is among the best in Asia.

In addition, Yingzhijie Shipping is one of the largest independent shipping service agencies in the world.

It can be said that the scale of Yingzhijie is very large.

This time, the acquisition price was HK$1200 billion, which Yang Ming thought was good.

Because this company itself belongs to the leading large group in country Y.

Yang Ming already knew about the successful acquisition of Yingzhijie Group for the first time.

But these days, he has been waiting for the right time to announce it to the public.

"Ying Zhijie's chief classmate is Zheng Mingxun, right?"

"Yes, boss."

"Then what's his attitude now?"

Zheng Mingxun replaces Mai Jiazhuo who returned to the UK to serve as the chairman of the board of directors of Yingzhijie Pacific. He is also the company's first Chinese executive.

However, compared with Shen Bi's senior classes, he is certainly far behind.

When the Imperial Group secretly acquired Yingzhijie Group and negotiated with Yingzhijie's shareholders, Zheng Mingxun didn't know that Yingzhijie Group was actually going to be sold.

When he learned that Yingzhijie Group was finally sold to the Imperial Group by its major shareholder for HK$1200 billion, the other party did not sleep well all night.

Then, he thought of meeting Sir Yang, chairman of the Imperial Group, as soon as possible.

However, until now, apart from continuing to work normally at the Yingzhijie Group Building in Xiangjiang, Sir Yang seemed to have no intention of seeing him.

However, he already knew that Yingzhijie Group, like other foreign companies, had changed owners.

This owner is none other than Sir Yang.
