She is the strongest rent collector in Hong Kong, and she earns 1.6 billion a year just by collecting rent.
She doesn't remember how many houses she has, only that most of Causeway Bay belongs to hersThe number of houses above is so large that even if you don't eat or drink for a month, you still can't finish shopping.
She is Li Yunlian, the *** head of the Li familyShe is also the helmsman of Hong Kong Hysan Development Group, beating Li Jiacheng with an annual salary of 26.1 million yuan and becoming the highest-paid female president.
Many people may be confused, having heard of Li Ka-shing and Zheng YutongSo who is this Li Yunlian? Why does she qualify for the richest list?
Hysan Development is a major landowner nicknamed Causeway Bay, and has been developing Causeway Bay for over a century.
In more than 100 years of business, Hysan Development has become synonymous with Causeway Bay.
And the CEO of Hysan Development Group, Li Yunlian, although she is very low-keyBut a statistical report still exposes her strength.
According to the statistics of Hong Kong media in 2022, Lee Shau-kee's son Li Jiacheng's annual salary is 23.3 millionIt is 2.8 million less than Li Yunlian's 26.1 million.
The reason why such a high salary can be given is naturally that Hysan Development is rich.
According to the financial report, in 2022, the company's light shop revenue will be 164.3 billion yuan,Therefore, Li Yunlian is the strongest charter woman worthy of the name.
Not only that, she is also a member of the board of directors of HSBCThe status alone is very prominent.
After all, in this part of Hong Kong, if the rich want to do business, it is impossible to bypass the behemoth of HSBC.
As the largest commercial bank in Hong Kong, it is inextricably linked to the richest of the world.
Li Yunlian has a very good resume, she went to study abroad when she was 13 years old, grew up to study law in the United States, and waited until she graduatedShe was accepted into Citibank and began to move into the financial world.
After that, he fought in major financial markets, such as New York in the United States, London in the United Kingdom, etc., and achieved good results.
In 2012, she returned to Hong Kong to take the helm of the family business, Hysan Development Company.
To have such an achievement, Li Yunlian's personal ability is naturally one thingThe family behind it should not be underestimated.
This is a wealthy family that is several times older than the Li Ka-shing familyThat is, the Lee Hysan family, which was once known as one of the four great families.
In Hong Kong, where every inch of land is valuable, the Lee family's industry is spread over most of Causeway BayIf you convert them all into assets, they are worth about 80 billion.
Just kidding here, if Li Yunlian wants to ruin her home, it will take some time.
Unlike other rich people, Li Yunlian does not rely on her own step by stepFrom the bottom of her life, she has been a rich lady with a golden spoon since she was born.
As the old saying goes, you can't be rich for three generations, but this sentence has not been fulfilled in the Li family.
At that time, Li Yunlian's great-grandfather Li Liangyi started quickly by selling cigarettes and accumulated a lot of wealthThen Lee Leung-yi's son, Lee Hysan, Lee Yun-lian's grandfather, took over the family business.
Combined with the background of that era, everyone knows that this cigarette is not a good thingThis led to the notorious Lee family in Hong KongSo Lee Hysan, having made enough money, decided to turn back to the right path.
He first spent 3.85 million yuan to buy a large piece of land in Causeway Bay, and then built a large project on it, and since then he has entered the real estate industry.
You know, at this time, in 1923, 3.85 million can be said to be an astronomical numberBeing able to pull out this amount is enough to see the tip of the iceberg of the wealth of the Li family.
Soon after, the construction of Lee Garden Playground was completed, which became popular in Hong Kong at that time and brought a lot of income to the Lee family.
But that's not all, Lee Hysan also spent a lot of moneyA French architect was specially hired to build a theater in Causeway Bay, which was called "Lee Stage Theater".
The whole theater was built in a magnificent manner, and it is one of the famous high-end entertainment venues in Hong Kong, and even invited the future movie queen "Butterfly" to cut the ribbon herself.
Unfortunately, Lee Hysan's good times were short-lived, only 5 years laterLee Hysan, 49, was in an accident on his way to a restaurantAssassinated by the enemy at gunpoint.
The huge family business finally came to his son, Li Yunlian's great Boli Mingze.
Li Mingze received a higher business education at an early agePlus it's a lot of business acumen in itselfThe assets left by his father are well managed.
And Li Yunlian's father, Li Xiaohe, also took this opportunity to use the family's fundsTogether with Run Shaw and others, he founded TV broadcasting***, which is also known as TVB.
How brilliant TVB's later development was, I believe everyone has already heard of it, in that era, it can be said that everyone knows it, and the benefits brought to Li Xiaohe by its great influence can no longer be measured by money.
Therefore, he gradually became the second generation head of the Li family.
But it is also a pity that Lee Hyo-ho died of a heart attack in 1980 at the age of 71This can be said to have died untimely among the rich.
And only three years after Li Xiaohe left, his eldest brother Li Mingze also left the world, and the death of these two people was undoubtedly a major blow to the Li family.
At that time, the outside world speculated whether the Li family, which had lost two backbones one after another, was going downhill, but a woman bravely stood up at this moment and carried the burden of the family on herself.
This woman is not Li Yunlian, but her motherThat is, Li Xiaohe's wife Lu Yanqun, known to outsiders as Mrs. Li.
Lu Yanqun herself is also from a famous family, her grandfather founded the Hong Kong Canton Bank, and later founded the Pacific Mail Shipping CompanyThe family background is very solid.
It can be said that compared with the family background, Lu Yanqun and Li Xiaohe are on par, so when the two got married at that time, it was rumored to be a good story.
Like Li Xiaohe, Lu Yanqun received a higher business education from an early ageAlthough after getting married, Lu Yanqun rarely cares about business matters, but living in such a family environment for a long time, her vision is still very tricky.
At that time, she was not optimistic about the soda industry, so she sold all the soda factories and businesses at handAfter exchanging hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, he used all the money to buy US dollars.
As a result, in less than two years, the US dollar began to **, so Lu Yanqun sold the US dollar and exchanged it for Hong Kong dollars, just a simple one in and one outLu Yanqun made hundreds of millions more.
But this is a speculative market after all, and it cannot be the main business of a big family at all.
Lu Yanqun himself also understands in his heart that although he has an eye for investment, he is not good at businessSo she thought of a way, which was to invest in the company, instead of participating in the operation herself.
She knew that TVB was making money, but she didn't understand it, so she acted as a shopkeeper, did not interfere in the company's operation, and gave Run Run Shaw financial support behind her back.
As long as Lu Yanqun thinks it is feasible, she will give the other party financial helpWait until the other party's results and give yourself dividends.
In this way, not only do professionals "work" for themselves, but as long as these enterprises do not go bankrupt, then they will make money every year.
With a vicious vision, Lu Yanqun stubbornly kept this huge family businessIt wasn't until the juniors in the family grew up that they gradually unloaded the burden on their bodies and were taken over by their daughter Li Yunlian.
Now Li Yunlian is the head of a new generation of the familyThe main task is to lead the family to break through the current bottleneck.
As a result, Hysan Development began to develop into the mainland, buying the land parcel that Li Ka-shing had sold at the beginningPreparing to build a Lee Gardens in Shanghai as well.
It's just that the construction of this park will take a lot of timeAs for their performance in the future, let's wait and see.
