Recently, Yang Guoqiang has made a lot of moves, and when other real estate companies are conservative, he has decisively attacked. Of course, at this time, he can attack because Yang Guoqiang has strength.
Yang Guoqiang's Country Garden holds more than 180 billion in cash, while short-term liabilities are only tens of billions, they can easily cope, Country Garden's overall debt situation is very good, so Yang Guoqiang does not need to worry at all, at this time, whether it is to buy land or other people's assets, they have enough funds.
At this time, many real estate giants have to reduce the sale of assets because of liquidity problems. Big guys like Country Garden and Vanke are picking up leaks. Yang Guoqiang spent 20 billion yuan in a week, first 10 billion yuan into Wanda Commercial Management, and then 10 billion yuan to acquire the property company of R&F Real Estate.
Wanda Light Assets is now playing very slippery, and it is about to be listed in Hong Kong, and its assets are doubled after listing, even if it is a dividend, it is a very good asset. Wanda's rental income this year is definitely more than 40 billion, and now that its liabilities have been reduced to 100 billion, Wanda's profits will be very impressive in the future.
Speaking of Yang Guoqiang, I have to talk about the Hong Kong big guy behind him, in fact, many real estate companies in the mainland have Hong Kong big guys behind him. Xu Shoufu naturally needless to say, behind it is a group of Hong Kong bigwigs, Zheng Yutong, Liu Luanxiong, Zhang Songqiao and others. In fact, there are also Hong Kong tycoon Wu Guangzheng behind real estate companies such as Longhu and Greentown.
There is also a Hong Kong big man behind Yang Guoqiang, and this person is Lee Shau Kee. In 2008, Yang Guoqiang led Country Garden to Hong Kong for listing, when Yang Guoqiang's good friend and predecessor Lee Shau Kee invested 1 billion yuan to subscribe to Country Garden, which made Country Garden a sensation in Hong Kong that year. After Country Garden's listing that year, its market value soared, making Yang Guoqiang's daughter Yang Huiyan the richest man in China.
Yang Huiyan was only 25 years old that year, and Yang Guoqiang transferred all the shares he held to his daughter before the company went public, and he gave up becoming the richest man in China to complete his daughter.
Lee Shau Kee and Yang Guoqiang are almost two eras of people, how did they become good friends? Yang Guoqiang did not go to Hong Kong to play cards, and Lee Shau Kee is not Cheng Yu Tong, and he does not like to organize cards at home. Li Shaoji and Yang Guoqiang are actually Shunde fellows.
Lee Shau Kee has always been very interested in mainland companies, and in the early 1990s he invested heavily in mainland blue chips that went public in Hong Kong, and in Ping An of China alone, Lee Shau Kee made a profit of 30 billion yuan.
Country Garden went public in Hong Kong, and Lee Shau Kee naturally wanted to support fellow Yang Guoqiang. In fact, Lee Shau Kee's help to Yang Guoqiang is really quite a lot. At that time, Shaw was preparing to retire, and he was interested in selling his SHARE of TVB. At that time, it attracted the attention of many real estate developers. Many people may wonder why TV stations are sold, and what do so many real estate developers want to buy?
In fact, TVB's main business at that time was not very good, but their land in Hong Kong's Clear Water Bay was extremely valuable, which was TVB's most valuable asset at that time.
Yang Guoqiang borrowed 3 billion yuan from Lee Shau Kee in order to acquire. Li Shaoji also lent it to Yang Guoqiang without saying a word. At this point, Lee Shau Kee, the richest man in Hong Kong, is still very righteous.
In fact, Lee Shau Kee really has nothing to say to his friends. Lee Shau Kee has a listed company called Miramar Hotel. The hotel was actually founded by Lee Shau Kee's good friend Yang Zhiyun. After Yang Zhiyun's death that year, his son planned to sell the company. At that time, it attracted the attention of Giant Crocodiles such as Li Ka-shing. Li Ka-shing wanted to buy the Miramar Hotel and then tear down its property to rebuild it, so it made a profit.
Yang Zhiyun's wife found Lee Shau Kee, hoping that Lee Shau Kee could buy the Mira Hotel, and hoping that Lee Shau Kee could always maintain the sign of Mira. Lee Shau Kee later did what he said, he acquired The Miramar Hotel, and has always maintained the Sign of the Miramar Hotel to operate alone, which is also an account of an old friend.
For Lee Shau Kee, it is actually not cost-effective for him to do so, because the hotel business is actually not very profitable, it is better to tear down the property and rebuild it into a real estate or commercial center, which is at least several times the profit. With the size of the Miramar Hotel, Lee Shau Kee can easily earn tens of billions. However, Lee Shau Kee promised the widow of the deceased, so more than 30 years later, he still kept his promise.
Lee Shau Kee also did not say anything to his own brother Li Zhaonan. Lee Shau Kee is known as the fourth uncle, because he is the fourth oldest in the family. Lee Shau Kee also has a younger brother below. Lee Shau Kee's father was originally a businessman in Shunde, running a gold shop and a silver trumpet in Shunde, and the family wealth was very rich.
Lee Shau Kee has been very smart since he was a child, he will mentally calculate at the age of 6, he will master a full set of alchemy techniques at the age of 14, and he will become a big treasurer at the age of 16. Lee Shau Kee was later sent by his father to Hong Kong to start a business, while Lee Shau Kee's younger brother Lee Siu Nam stayed behind in his hometown. This also caused the two brothers to have completely different fates.
After Lee Shau Kee arrived in Hong Kong, he earned a net worth of 100 billion. Lee Shau Kee also has an older brother, Lee Shau Kee, who is also a billionaire in Hong Kong. Li Zhaoqi also once developed real estate in Hong Kong, his Zhaoan real estate has also been successfully listed, in the 80s Zhaoan real estate delisted, after which Li Zhaoqi purchased a large number of shops in Hong Kong to collect rent, and his net worth also exceeded 10 billion.
Both Lee Siu-chiu-kee and Lee Shau-kee can succeed, indicating that if Lee Siu-nam goes to Hong Kong, the concept of success should also be very high. Li Zhaonan later gave up the opportunity to his brothers and stayed in his hometown by himself, and as a result, Li Zhaonan was just an ordinary migrant worker in Shunde for a lifetime.
Lee Shau Kee has always felt that he owes his brother something because of this matter. In order to make up for Li Zhaonan's, Li Zhaoji established a company in Guangzhou in the name of Li Zhaonan, and then used the name of this company to invest heavily in Ping An of China. In 2008, Li Zhaonan successfully appeared on the wealth list, and the market value of the shares that Li Zhaonan gave to Li Zhaonan that year was as high as 30 billion.
In fact, Lee Shau Kee is not only like this to Lee Siu Nam, he also wanted to take his brother to Hong Kong to enjoy happiness, but Lee Siu Nam has been poor all his life and is unwilling to do so. He was more accustomed to living in the old house of his hometown in Shunde. Lee Shau Kee sent All of Lee's children to study abroad, and now they all stay in foreign countries to develop.
Li Zhaonan also returned all the shares that his brother Li Zhaoji gave him to himself, because he had been poor all his life and did not know what to do with so much money.
Lee Shau Kee is actually a big man with feelings and righteousness.
