galloping in the mall for decades, the vision of the "old fox" Li Chaoren has to be admired.
A while ago, Li Ka-shing's "confidant" Zhou Kaixuan revealed in an interviewAs early as January 2021, Li Ka-shing had been constantly warning her.
So Zhou Kaixuan did so, and 80% of his investment companies at that time followed Li Ka-shing's advice, kept enough funds, extended the life cycle to 24-36 months, and finally there was no danger.
Compared with those companies whose capital chains are broken, are dying, or have been thundered, the two are immediately superior.
Many people may know that Li Ka-shing does business with the philosophy of:"Sell at the best time and don't make the last copper plate"., the precision and viciousness of his vision are difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
In terms of making money alone, Li Ka-shing has reached the pinnacle, not ordinarily powerful.
In 1940, Li Ka-shing, whose ancestral home was Chaozhou, came to Hong Kong with his parents.
A few years later, his father died, and Li Ka-shing dropped out of school to work part-time, and started as an apprentice in his uncle's watch company.
Because of his hard work and intelligence, Li Ka-shing quickly rose to prominence, becoming a general manager at the age of 20.
However, Li Ka-shing obviously doesn't want to send someone to the fence for the rest of his life, even if this person is his uncle.
At the age of 22, Li Ka-shing used 50,000 Hong Kong dollars to establish the Yangtze River Plastic Factory, at the beginning of the business, the factory was riddled with problems, Li Ka-shing worked 16 hours a day, and basically earned hard-earned money.
Five years later, a turning point appeared, and Li Ka-shing happened to see a message from a magazine:
An Italian company uses plastic raw materials to make plastic flowers, and dumps them in the European and American markets.
Li Ka-shing, who has a keen sense of smell, realized that plastic flowers would also become popular in Hong Kong, so he immediately went to Italy for a field trip.
After that, Li Ka-shing vigorously developed plastic flowers and plastic toys, and became the world's largest manufacturer of plastic flowers in one fell swoop, so it was named "King of Plastic Flowers".
At this time, Li Ka-shing was able to succeed, in addition to his personal efforts and fierce vision, to a large extent, because he grasped the general trend of the times and provided him with a huge boost.
In the 50s of the last century, we were embargoed by Western countries, and Hong Kong became a key entrepot window.
In addition, Hong Kong can import a large number of cheap production raw materials from the mainland, and the rapid recovery of the Western economy after World War II, people gradually pursue the quality of life and decorate the room with plastic flowers, so at this time, Hong Kong's manufacturing industry, cheap raw materials, and markets are not lacking, and there is a foundation for development.
And Li Ka-shing also seized such an opportunity to earn the first pot of gold in his life, and accumulated the original capital for his dominance in the real estate industry since then.
Hong Kong's manufacturing industry is booming, land is in short supply, social unrest is intensifying, labor movements are rising one after another, and land prices are starting to rise.
At this time, Li Ka-shing was convinced that the current situation was only a temporary trough, and that Hong Kong's economy would definitely return to stability and continue to move forward in the future.
As a result, Li Ka-shing saw the opportunity and founded Changjiang Real Estate, operating against the trend and acquiring a large number of land and old buildings at low prices.
With the recovery of Hong Kong's economy and the recovery of land prices, Li Ka-shing soon made a fortune and changed the name of Cheung Kong Property to Cheung Kong in 1971 and successfully listed in Hong Kong.
At this time, Li Ka-shing's wealth grew rapidly, and in 1973, he once again found a new opportunity
At that time, it was the first oil crisis, the global economy was in a downturn, and Hutchison Whampoa, one of the four pillars of Hong Kong's economy, was on the verge of bankruptcy and was acquired by HSBC.
You must know that the port business in Hong Kong has always been the top priority, and Hutchison Whampoa started by relying on ports and ships, almost monopolizing the port business in Hong Kong.
After the successful acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa in 1979, Li Ka-shing's business empire had begun to take shape, and began to attack the retail, real estate, energy, communications, and pharmaceutical industries.
Two years later, the proud Li Ka-shing appeared on the cover of the "Far Eastern Economic Review", incarnated as a superman and became famous in one fell swoop, and the name of "Li Superman" also spread.
Since the 80s of the last century, Li Ka-shing has continued to increase his bargaining chips in the mainland, real estate buildings, docks, and universities.
However, remember the business purpose of this Li Superman?
Li Ka-shing, who adheres to the philosophy of "not earning the last copper plate", began a major retreat in 2013, continuing to sell off real estate projects in mainland China and Hong Kong in favor of the United Kingdom.
At that time, there was a saying that Li Ka-shing bought "half of Britain":
One-third of the UK's natural gas** market, one-quarter of the electricity distribution market, 7% of the water supply market, 40% of the telecommunications market, and one-third of the UK's terminals are all owned by the Li family.
However, Li Ka-shing's approach has aroused everyone's anger, and all walks of life have begun to criticize him, and some people even call Li Ka-shing a "thief", and after making a lot of money in China, he has rolled all his wealth abroad.
But despite Qianfu's pointing, Li Ka-shing did not change his choice, and it was not until a few years later that people discovered the long-term vision of this Li Superman.
The mainland real estate market began to be the most strictly regulated in history, and the once glorious real estate companies plummeted, and Evergrande's Boss Xu became a lesson from the past, and now these real estate companies have not eased up.
In the final analysis, Li Ka-shing is essentially a businessman, and in the face of various doubts from the outside world, he once responded euphemistically:
"Don't measure me by empty morals, I'm just a businessman. ”
For businessmen, how to maximize profits and increase their wealth is the first priority at any time.
Write at the end:
Li Ka-shing has been in the mall for decades, and his long-term precision has been proven countless times.
Although Li Ka-shing is no longer in the rivers and lakes, his legend is often circulated in the rivers and lakes, and his every move is still stirring the global business community. Kunpeng Project
