Facing the top two figures in the Hong Kong Island business district, Cao Kun is still talking and laughing.

His father Cao Wenbiao is an existence of the same grade as these people, and they have nothing to fear.

And he is also very aware of the shortcomings of these two top figures.

Bao Yugang's biggest problem is that he has no biological sons, so he can only rely on a few sons-in-law.

Shen Bi is greedy by nature and loves famous watches.

Cao Kun had already given him two rare watches before this, which made Shen Bi very happy and made him a confidant.

Pao Yuk Kong is one of the largest Chinese billionaires on Hong Kong Island and a director of HSBC.

He and Cao Kun's father, Cao Wenbiao, are known as the king of ships, but there is not much conflict between the two in business.

On the contrary, they are also good friends and good neighbors.

Cao Kun's home is at No. 78 Deep Water Bay, while Bao Yugang's home is at No. 77.

At the beginning, Bao Yugang was worried that Cao Wenbiao and Cao Kun wanted to grab the Wharf with him, and they also wanted to complete the transformation through the Wharf.

Unexpectedly, when Bao Yugang asked Cao Wenbiao and Cao Kun and his son to sell their current 20 million shares to him, Cao Wenbiao and Cao Kun readily agreed.

The price they negotiated was HK$50.

You must know that in the future, Bao Yugang and Wharf's original major shareholder Jardine Matheson will have a series of battles, and Wharf's stock price can rush to more than 100 Hong Kong dollars at most.

But that was a year later, and Cao Kun now desperately needed to collect the funds and use them to buy Hutchison Whampoa, so he sold 20 million shares of Wharf to Bao Yugang at a price of 50 Hong Kong dollars.

Although this price is only a few Hong Kong dollars lower than the current market price, Bao Yugang is already very grateful.

Because of the 20 million shares of Cao Kun and them, Bao Yugang defeated Jardine Matheson and obtained a controlling stake in Wharf, and he won the game.

Cao Kun and they originally bought 20 million shares at an average price of 20 Hong Kong dollars, but now it has risen to 50 yuan per share, and 20 million shares have become 1 billion, and they have made a net profit of 6 billion.

Of course, Cao Wenbiao and Cao Kun and his son also put forward their request that they sell 20 million shares to Bao Yugang at a price of 50 Hong Kong dollars, hoping that Bao Yugang, as a director of HSBC, can give them full support in the Hutchison Whampoa acquisition.

Bao Yugang gasped at that time, but he didn't expect Cao Wenbiao, Cao Kun and his son to have greater ambitions than themselves.

They abandoned Wharf and actually targeted the much larger Hutchison Whampoa.

Bao Yugang asked with some doubts: "Wen Biao, I remember that you never had the idea of transformation before, why did you first aim at Wharf and now at Hutchison Whampoa, how did you make this determination?"

Cao Wenbiao laughed and said, "I really didn't notice these two undervalued high-quality companies, but it was my son Cao Kun who reminded me of the ......."

Bao Yugang looked at Cao Kun with a shocked face at that time, but he didn't expect this 19-year-old young man to have such extraordinary vision and courage.

Bao Yugang couldn't help but give a thumbs up and exclaimed: "It's really a tiger father without a dog, Wen Biao, your son is really impressive!".

Bao Yugang has the impression that before Cao Wenbiao's son Cao Kun, he was very introverted and cowardly, and he wanted to read philosophy, think about those big and empty things, and even have misogyny, and he felt that he couldn't help Adou.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't seen him for a few days, but he suddenly realized that he had such extraordinary business vision and considerations, which made him extremely envious and envious that Cao Wenbiao had such a good son.

Bao Yugang only has 4 daughters and no sons, so his future family business is supported by his son-in-law, especially his second son-in-law Wu Wenzheng.

Originally, Bao Yugang thought it was nothing, and his son-in-law was half a son, but seeing that Cao Wenbiao, an old man with the same name as himself, actually had such an excellent son, Bao Yugang was inevitably a little envious and jealous.

Bao Yugang's fourth daughter Bao Beihui is the same age as Cao Kun, and Bao Yugang has the heart to match them.

Cao Kun was not very happy, because their Bao family had no sons, only 4 daughters, so these 4 sons-in-law of their family were all said to be sons-in-law.

Cao Kunming can inherit the assets of the Cao family, and there is no need to wade into this troubled water.

Of course, the more important reason is because Bao Peihui is not beautiful enough, if she can have the beauty of He Chaoqiong, Cao Kun will definitely accept this marriage without hesitation.

Relatively speaking, Cao Kun is still willing to be the son-in-law of the gambling king, the gambling king not only has He Chaoqiong a beautiful daughter, He Chaoying, He Chaoxin, He Chaoyi, and He Chaolian are all beautiful.

......

Shen Bi, chairman of the board of directors of HSBC, acted as an intermediary to facilitate the cooperation between Cao Wenbiao, Cao Kun and Bao Yugang.

He admired Cao Kun's talent, ability and vision, and considered him to be a leading figure in the future business community on Hong Kong Island, so he was willing to help him achieve his greater ambitions.

Before that, Shen Bi said to Cao Kun: "Kun Shao, I am optimistic about your future.

But you need to learn to be patient and wait for your opportunity now.

Wharf shares are important, but they're not your only goal!".

At that time, Shen Bi hinted that Cao Kun should aim at Hutchison Whampoa.

Now, with the help of Shen Bi, Cao Kun has successfully sold his shares in Wharf to Bao Yugang.

This move not only allowed him to obtain a huge return on funds, 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, of which 600 million were profitable, but also won him and his father Cao Wenbiao the friendship of the ship king Bao Yugang.

Cao Kun then began to secretly contact HSBC to prepare for the next acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa.

Hutchison Whampoa is a British-owned enterprise that changed hands several times and then fell into the hands of the Englishman Qi Dezun.

Qi Dezun has made Hutchison International's business very large, but he is not good at managing the company, which has led to serious problems in the company's capital chain.

Later, it was injected capital by HSBC and became the largest shareholder.

However, HSBC is a financial institution after all, and it is not suitable to hold industrial assets for a long time, so it is also looking for the next home to take over.

Cao Kun saw this opportunity and decided to buy Hutchison Whampoa.

He communicated with Shen Bi many times to express his thoughts and plans.

Shen Bi saw Cao Kun's talent, ability, and vision, and saw him as a trustworthy partner, so he decided to support his acquisition plan and told Bao Yugang about it.

Bao Yugang also expressed his support and was willing to provide necessary help.

Of course, the reason why Shen Bi was willing to support Cao Kun so vigorously was because he received Cao Kun's benefits.

Cao Kun knew that Shen Bi had a very big hobby and liked to collect famous watches.

Shen Bi bought a lot of good watches on Hong Kong Island, and later wrote the collection into a book "Shen Bi's Collected Watches", using the best paper, the most refined printing, and the layout design was modeled after the American consortium Morgan's monograph on Tibetan watches, and the limited edition was 100 copies.

So Cao Kun did not choose to send money directly, but did what he liked.

In these days, Cao Kun collected hundreds of famous watches from all over the world, worth forty or fifty million, and gave them to Shen Bi.

Shen Bi was very happy after seeing those famous watches, and fully supported Cao Kun in the acquisition plan.

With the support of Shen Bi and Bao Yugang, Cao Wenbiao and Cao Kun father and son began their own acquisition plan.

He raised capital through various channels, contacted investors, developed detailed acquisition proposals, and negotiated with the management of Hutchison Whampoa on a number of occasions.

In the end, in September 1979, Cao Kun's Kunlun Group successfully swallowed the British-owned giant Hutchison Whampoa, which had a market value of 6.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, for only 639 million Hong Kong dollars.

And the first batch only needs to pay 20%, that is, 128 million Hong Kong dollars.

This payment was approved by Shen Bi and had just been borrowed from HSBC.

This move shocked the entire Hong Kong Island business community, especially Li Bancheng, who was preparing to buy Hutchison Whampoa.

He never expected that Wharf was cut off by the Cao family's father and son, and now Hutchison Whampoa has also been cut off by the Cao family's father and son!
