Chapter 187 The name has to be changed!

"Your previous plan is not bad, but the last point, I think it is impossible."

"You probably only know Zhou Xinian, but you don't know much about him."

Bao Yugang said to Li Changhe with a smile at this moment.

"Well, it's true. I only knew this person during the Milk War. I don't know any detailed information about him."

Bao Yugang then gave Li Changhe some popular science information.

"Zhou Xinian is from the Zhou family of Hong Kong Island, that is, the Zhou Yongtai family. Do you know this family?"

Li Changhe shook his head.

Bao Yugang didn't take it seriously, but continued, "In Hong Kong Island, there are four families that have extremely close ties with the British Hong Kong government. They are the Ho Kai Tung family, the Chow Wing Tai family, the Lee Hysan family, and the Lee Shek Peng family."

"Some newspapers jokingly called them the four major families of Hong Kong Island, just like the families in the Republic of China."

"But it is undeniable that many aspects of Hong Kong's early business were founded by people from these four major families."

Bao Yugang spoke seriously to Li Changhe.

Li Changhe nodded thoughtfully.

He knew some of this. For example, Ho Kai Tung is actually Ho Tung, and the gambling king Stanley Ho is from this family, but not the direct line, but a branch.

Another example is the famous Hong Kong TVB, Wireless Television, which has three founders: Li Ka-shing, Run Run Shaw and Johnnie To.

Among them, Qi Dezun is the former major shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, not to mention Run Run Shaw.

However, the major shareholder of TVB is actually Li Ho-wo. After his death, his wife sold TVB's shares to Run Run Shaw, thus making Run Run Shaw the real owner of TVB.

Li Ho-wo is the third son of Li Hiu-shin. In addition, the Li family is also known as the landlord of Causeway Bay.

Nearly half of the land in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island is owned by the Li family!

Li Changhe knew these in his previous life, but he knew less about the Li Shipeng family and the Zhou Yongtai family.

He only remembered that the Chinese Estates Holdings Company that Liu Luanxiong later seized belonged to Li Shipeng's family.

There is another story here. Liu Luanxiong snatched Chinese Estates from the Li family with the cooperation of one person, that is, the British ghost William.

This Wee Li is now the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa, the person invited by HSBC to control Hutchison Whampoa.

After Li Ka-shing acquired Hutchison Whampoa, he retained Weedle for several more years to continue serving as the head of Hutchison.

After Wei Li left Hutchison Whampoa, he got involved in the internal turmoil of Chinese Estates Holdings. Then, he joined forces with Liu Luanxiong, who was a fan at the time, to seize Chinese Estates Holdings.

Li Changhe didn't know whether there was any inside story or not, but he knew that Li Jiacheng and Liu Luanxiong were both from Chaoshan, and when Liu Luanxiong's mother died, Li Jiacheng went to send off the coffin.

In the future, Liu Luanxiong was also involved in another real estate company that went bankrupt and assisted in transferring a large amount of funds. The water was very deep.

Far away.

While Li Changhe was thinking, Bao Yugang continued, "In fact, if Sir Zhou Xinian is still healthy, it's not impossible for you to ask him for this plan. I think he will most likely agree."

"Unfortunately, he suffered a stroke two years ago. Although he is in better condition now, he is still in a wheelchair and rarely appears in public."

"And unfortunately, his eldest son died suddenly of a heart attack a few months ago."

"In this case, do you think he will still cooperate with you in acquiring the land?"

Li Changhe shook his head upon hearing this, and then said self-deprecatingly: "It's still just talk after all."

"Not really. At least your previous line of reasoning makes me think that there is a possibility of acquiring the land."

"But Hong Kong Land is different from Wharf Holdings after all. Hong Kong Land is the face company of Britain in Hong Kong Island. Acquiring it would have a huge impact."

"So, if you really want to invest in Landmark, you must use a fake identity."

"Fake identity?"

Upon hearing this, Li Changhe looked at Bao Yugang in surprise.

Bao Yugang continued, "Actually, I have thought about this matter before, and I wanted to tell you about it when you came here this time."

"It will be very difficult for you to transfer the money back to the mainland in an honest way, including the money you will get next time."

"Of course, when I say difficult, I don't mean operationally difficult. You can transfer the money back to the mainland openly, but there is no doubt that you will be on the Hong Kong government's monitoring list next."

"After all, a business worth several hundred million US dollars is rare even in Hong Kong Island."

"Except for banks and wealthy individuals, there are very few who can afford this amount of money."

"Once you are on their internal monitoring list, it will be difficult for you to do business here again."

"There are some things that you can't just look at from a commercial perspective."

"Including Zhou Xinian. If you use your real identity to contact him, he may not agree to it."

"What these people are afraid of is the mainland. They are afraid that the mainland will confiscate their wealth."

"Don't think that all Chinese people hate the British. That's not the case. In fact, many of them, including me, have a good impression of the British."

"Of course, that's because we are a vested interest group. The British gave us rights and status, and some people are grateful for that."

Bao Yugang was really speaking to Li Changhe from the heart at this moment.

This is what many wealthy people in Hong Kong think in this era.

From the perspective of future generations, the country has done its utmost to be kind to Hong Kong Island and has provided it with various preferential and convenient policies, which is naturally excellent. It was so good that netizens in the mainland were very dissatisfied for a while.

But in this era, Hong Kong people appear to be superior to the mainland on the surface, but secretly they are afraid of it like a tiger.

Why did Li Changhe dare to take action at this time? In addition to the fact that Jardine Matheson had no money, there were also considerations of integrity, that is, Jardine Matheson had been hesitating whether to retreat.

In fact, it is not just Jardine Matheson. Many wealthy people in Hong Kong are considering running away or transferring their assets in this era.

This is also the reason why the entire real estate market in Hong Kong Island will be in recession in the next few years. Everyone wants to sell their properties and run away.

Starting from 1982, there will be a large-scale sell-off in the real estate market and land prices will plummet.

For Li Changhe, the advantage of this trend is that even if Jardine Matheson wants to sell the properties under Swire Properties to save itself, it will be difficult because they cannot sell them for money.

So even if Li Changhe cannot take over Hutchison Whampoa in one go, as long as he continues to buy Hutchison Whampoa shares at high prices, he will force Hutchison Whampoa to engage in a price war with him.

In the real estate frenzy, even the landed mop will be dragged down!
All Li Changhe needed to do was to take over the Swire Properties before 84, and the company would no longer be protected by government power, after all, the owner had changed.

Of course, this is the general trend of the future, and Li Changhe certainly cannot say it now.

"I was actually thinking about making a fake identity for you. Your real identity is in the mainland anyway. As long as you don't reveal it openly, few people will know it."

"I can help you get an identity as a Singaporean Chinese American, and then register a company there. You will be a Singaporean Chinese financial genius in the United States!"

"It is actually feasible to leverage Hong Kong's shares through an agency with this identity."

"The premise is that you are willing to trust me."

Bao Yugang said to Li Changhe seriously.

Using a fake identity can solve a lot of problems, but for Li Changhe, there is a huge risk.

That is, at that time, his assets, including the US dollars he earned, will be transferred to the name of this fake identity. This is equivalent to creating a new account abroad. The right to use the account belongs to him, but the creator of the account is Bao Yugang.

Can Li Changhe have enough trust to give Bao Yugang the creation authority without worrying that he will take away Li Changhe's assets?

Is Li Changhe worried about this?

Absolutely not!
The life experience of this rich man in his previous life has proved his character. He left hundreds of billions of assets to several sons-in-law. This man has a really big vision.

After all, to put it bluntly, with his status and position, is it difficult for him to have a son?
Even if he doesn't have a son, Bao Yugang is not an only child. He has an older brother, a younger brother, and several nephews.

But in the end, he decisively gave it to his daughter and son-in-law, and specified that each son-in-law would be the operator of the company, and his daughter would only have nominal ownership.

Even after his youngest daughter got divorced, this decision never changed.

So Li Changhe was not worried at all about his account assets being plundered.

"If I don't even trust you, then there's no one I can trust in Hong Kong Island."

"To be honest, I have actually considered the method you mentioned. If I can expand this identity, there will be many benefits."

Li Changhe said seriously.

If he could have an external identity, it would be much more convenient for Li Changhe whether in Europe, America, Japan or South Korea.

Seeing that Li Changhe agreed without hesitation, Bao Yugang smiled and nodded: "In this case, I will help you get an identity."

"If you don't mind, how about being my nephew?"

"My eldest brother and his family have lived in Singapore for many years, and he has been in charge of the Global Shipping business."

"Let him give you the identity of a distant younger brother of our Bao family. From now on, you will be a distant nephew of our Bao family."

"This way, you won't attract attention when you come in and out of our house in the future."

"Wait a few years, if the situation becomes clear, we will make it public."

Bao Yugang said happily at this moment.

He now really admires Li Changhe. This little guy has such a great vision.

If Li Changhe had not been married, he would have wanted to recruit Li Changhe as his son-in-law.

But since I can't be a son-in-law now, it's also good to be given the status of a distant nephew.

After hearing this, Li Changhe was a little surprised.

He originally thought that Bao Yugang had just created an ordinary fake identity for him, but he didn't expect that he would give him such a close identity.

And this identity did not mean that Bao Yugang took advantage of him, but it actually brought him benefits.

To put it bluntly, Bao Yugang's recognition of this identity means that Li Changhe can openly use Bao Yugang's influence in the future.

How big is Bao Yugang's influence?
Let's put it this way, leaving aside the Iron Lady and President Reagan, he has a close relationship with the American Jewish elite Kissinger, and the old man from the Rockefeller family also personally invited him to join the Chase Bank International Advisory Committee.

Li Changhe actually privately had some doubts as to whether Mr. Bao was a member of the so-called Freemasonry or the Illuminati.

Otherwise, this network is really too extensive.

Therefore, if Li Changhe really used this fake identity, many things would become possible for him.

For example, the upcoming privatization wave in Britain.

If Li Changhe were to buy it as an ordinary businessman, there would probably be no hope.

However, if you use the influence of the Bao family to participate, you may not be able to eat meat, but there is still hope of drinking some soup.

Given Britain's industrial and technological background at that time, even just a sip of soup would be extremely important to the country.

This is actually Bao Yugang using his influence in disguise to help Li Changhe, or more precisely, to help the country that Li Changhe represents.

"In that case, thank you very much, Mr. Bao."

Li Changhe said to Bao Yugang with gratitude at this moment.

Bao Yugang smiled and said, "You can't call me Mr. Bao anymore. You have to be careful and change your address in the future."

"I am older than your father, so how about you just call me uncle from now on?"

"I was negligent. Thank you, uncle."

Li Changhe changed his words decisively!

"Well, next, you have to give yourself an English name so that I can help you with your identity."

"By the way, I remember your spoken English is pretty good!"

"not bad!"

Li Changhe said thoughtfully.

Bao Yugang shook his head: "What you have now may not be enough."

"When you get back, I suggest you practice English seriously. I don't mean that you should be able to speak it, but your accent should be more European and American."

"Another thing is, if your identity is confirmed, you have to change your Beijing dialect and learn some Ningbo dialect or Shanghai dialect."

"Let me tell you, in Hong Kong Island, the most widely spoken language among ordinary people is Cantonese, but not among the upper class."

"Among the wealthy Chinese here, Shanghainese is the most widely spoken language. Do you know why?"

Li Changhe actually knows this.

"That's because most of the wealthy Chinese who came to Hong Kong back then came from Shanghai, right?"

For example, Du Yuesheng, the Green Gang boss who was famous in Shanghai back then, later came to Hong Kong Island.

For example, Bao Yugang and his friends all came to Hong Kong with hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It can be said that a large number of the elites in Shanghai at that time fled to Hong Kong Island. These people quickly gained a foothold in Hong Kong Island and became bigwigs in various industries.

Then, they who could speak the dialect of Shanghai naturally formed a specific language circle to distinguish themselves from the ordinary local people here.

In this way, this circle gradually expanded and became what it is today.

Most ordinary people speak Cantonese, but the upper-class Hong Kong elites often speak Shanghainese.

"Yes, there is a reason for this. So if you can speak some Modu dialect, it will be a strong proof of your identity."

"After you return to the capital, you can find a chance to learn it."

Bao Yugang spoke seriously to Li Changhe.

Li Changhe nodded thoughtfully.

You know what, he actually has someone to learn from.

Isn’t this girl Gong Xue a pure Shanghai native?
But then, Li Changhe thought of another point, that is, his identity and the loopholes.

　I would like to thank Mr. Bin, who is both literary and martial, for his reward of 20210301106484930376 yuan. I would also like to thank my book friend who stretches his legs to trip the elephant and Tang Shibu Waving his Hands for his rewards. I bow to White Shoes!
