Who knows which companies and entities Li Ka-shing has invested in the Mainland?

Li Ka-shing frequently attacks the mainland with tens of billions of dollars.

Last year's performance dropped by 60%

Although Li Ka-shing's Hong Kong-listed company Changjiang Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. and its joint venture Hutchison Whampoa Co., Ltd. won the first and second place in "200 1 500 International Chinese Businessmen" selected by Asia Weekly, the annual performance of 200/KLOC-0 was greatly affected by the global economic downturn and the economic and financial turmoil in Hong Kong, among which the net profit of Changjiang Industry was HK$ 7,296,543.8 million. Facing the influence of the deterioration of the external economic environment, at the annual report conference, Li Ka-shing promised to make use of the Group's abundant cash flow and stable borrowing level to build a strong financial strength and obtain a very high long-term credit rating, which is conducive to raising funds, grasping investment opportunities at any time and striving for the greatest interests of shareholders.

Changhe Department has business in 36 countries around the world, and its main business is real estate and telecommunications, the two pillar industries of Changhe Department. Global economic integration has brought scale effect to growth and development, but it has also affected enterprises by the economic storm. Changjiang Industrial Group, which is mainly engaged in real estate, earned HK$ 65.438+89.6 million from property last year, down by 654.38+0.63% compared with the same period of last year, while Hutchison Whampoa, which is mainly engaged in telecommunications business, earned HK$ 66.5438+46 billion last year. However, due to its investment in 3G services last year, HK$ 365.438+0.2 billion was used as the relevant investment reserve. Although Li Ka-shing has repeatedly stressed on various occasions that Hong Kong's economy will recover, Li Ka-shing also admitted in internal discussions that it is still unclear when the recovery will begin and what the prospects are, and many challenging problems may arise at any time. On the one hand, Li Ka-shing still continues to adopt its bargain-hunting strategy, absorbing a lot of land, building properties and promoting profitability; On the other hand, the focus of Li Ka-shing has shifted to markets with good environment-Europe, America and the Mainland, especially the Mainland market. Li Ka-shing said that it is generally believed that the European and American economies can grow by three percentage points, while the mainland will grow by 7%, which is the biggest increase. As far as economic growth is concerned, no country can compare with China at present.

China's rapid economic growth in the past 20 years has been favored by Li Ka-shing, and China's entry into WTO has strengthened Li Ka-shing's confidence. On a public occasion, Li Ka-shing made it clear that Cheung Kong has invested in the mainland of China for many years, and there will be more business opportunities after China's accession to the WTO. Some business areas have not been involved in the past and may be involved in the future. The most important thing is to recognize the direction and seize the opportunity.

Investment in mainland China this year10 billion USD.

If tom.com was playing a high-tech concept card in the Mainland, today's Changhe aircraft carrier is playing a more stable Li Ka-shing concept card. Years of business experience in the Mainland have given Li Ka-shing a deeper understanding of the investment environment in the Mainland. Unwilling to get involved in politics, Li Ka-shing has established a high social image and prominent social status through numerous charitable activities, won loyal partners, and made corporate government public relations more powerful. In this case, Changhe Department is ready for a big fight. At the annual report conference held in March this year, Li Ka-shing made it clear that Changhe Department's investment in the Mainland this year will be in the order of HK$10 billion.

In the real estate industry, in addition to the "CBD Back Garden" in Dongba, Chaoyang District, which was developed with 200 1 investment 1 100 million yuan, Changhe Department spent 390 million yuan to obtain the land use right of Shanghai Gubei New District 14 plot. It is reported that some development projects in Shenzhen and Chengdu are under negotiation.

In terms of port network construction, Li Ka-shing regards the mainland port business as the most important investment in the future, and the Pearl River Delta is the base camp of Hutchison Whampoa's mainland port business. Hutchison Whampoa, by expanding Haicang Port in Xiamen and taking a stake in Beilun Port in Ningbo, obviously moved its front line northward, forming a coastal port network in China. Recently, it planned to invest in Qingdao, which broke the original intention of its port investment strategy of "being a port south of Shanghai, not a port north of Shanghai".

In the communication industry, PCCW announced a joint venture with China Telecom, with a total investment of about 200 million yuan. The joint venture company will initially focus on developing information technology solutions for the mainland financial industry, but will not rule out entering other industries in the future.

In the media industry, tom.com currently has a number of media businesses in Greater China, including magazines, radio stations, websites and advertisements. Following the successful acquisition of ATV shares in early July, Li Ka-shing's media kingdom is even bigger.

In terms of biotechnology, when Li Ka-shing established Changjiang Life Science and Technology, he said that biochemical technology will be a new link in the future development of the Group. A few days ago, Changjiang Life Science and Technology was spun off from Changjiang Enterprise Market, which immediately set off a biochemical stock frenzy in the Hong Kong stock market. It is reported that Changjiang Industry has invested 420 million Hong Kong dollars in Changke, and there are currently 40 registered patent projects in Changke. By the end of the year, the investment in this project will reach nearly HK$ 654.38+0 billion, and it will increase to HK$ 654.38+0 billion or even HK$ 654.38+0 billion in the next few years, and it will be used as a platform for acquiring and investing in mainland banks in the later period.

With huge funds, Changhe Department, led by Li Ka-shing, is planning calmly in the Mainland, trying to occupy the commanding heights of many industries through acquisitions and joint ventures.

Aim at traditional industries

Forward-looking and strategic investment in emerging industries is one of Li Ka-shing's best skills. Entering the real estate industry, acquiring Hutchison Whampoa, entering the port transportation industry, and participating in infrastructure projects ... Changhe Department always takes the lead and achieves long-term development because it is one step ahead of others. Nowadays, Chinese mainland's information industry is booming, but Changhe's new attack on the mainland market is particularly steady. Generally speaking, the expansion direction has never deviated from the basic business of traditional industries, and the goals are mainly locked in five aspects: real estate, communication, port network, media and biotechnology. Compared with global business expansion, lack of energy. According to reports, the main reason for this difference is that Chinese mainland has not yet opened its energy management and operation to private enterprises.

To some extent, it is not that Li Ka-shing is conservative. One of the important reasons is that Changhe Department, as one of the protagonists, also suffered the disaster brought by the bursting of the global network bubble economy in 2000-200 1 year. Changhe Department began to invest in the mainland many years ago, and the accumulated investment in the mainland has exceeded 60 billion Hong Kong dollars, among which Cheung Kong Industrial Group has become one of the largest investors in Hong Kong. Although the huge investment has made Li Ka-shing famous in the Mainland, behind the overall goodwill, those investment failure projects that exceed 65,438+05% ~ 20% can not be ignored, which is unique for Changhe Department whose performance has always been stable. Changhe Department blamed the failure on imprudence. The early tom.com, PCCW and Cyberport once brought a mythical aura to enterprises, and created such legendary figures as Li Zekai, but they did not really bring practical commercial benefits to the group. After the upsurge, tom.com and PCCW are only left with a beautiful shell of Changhe Department led by Li Ka-shing. In view of this, Li Ka-shing repeatedly stressed in the enterprise that in a radical era, the most important thing is to keep a clear judgment.

In the face of the recent upsurge of foreign investment in the mainland, Changhe Department's actions seem conservative, but in fact they are full of domineering. The chosen investment industries either involve infrastructure construction in Chinese mainland, such as real estate and ports; Or involve important industries, such as communication, media, biological science, etc. No matter from the market influence or marketing income, we can get a stable high market return.

Covet the domestic securities market

As early as 200 1, when Li Ka-shing attended a conference in Beijing, he expressed his interest in capital market financing in the mainland.

Although the state has not yet issued a policy on the listing of overseas companies in the mainland securities market, enterprises like Changhe Department have been waiting and working hard. As an international enterprise, Changhe Department is bound to be affected by the global economic downturn, but if it can be listed in China, it can at least slow down the impact of foreign markets on enterprise management. On the other hand, financing through the capital market can also strengthen the economic integration between enterprises and the mainland.

At that meeting, Li Ka-shing also said that listing on the mainland stock market in China will not only benefit mainland investors, but also help attract more foreign investment to participate in China's economic development. Changhe Department has been preparing and waiting for this. Li Ka-shing recently announced that Changhe Department will hold a large number of shares in Bank of China (Hongkong), which has aroused widespread concern in the society. Some analysts believe that Li Ka-shing hopes Changhe Department can take mainland companies as its parent company, and integrate more capital, mainly corporate capital, so as to facilitate its listing in the Mainland as soon as possible in the future. According to the news from Changhe Department, in the future, subsidiaries will not be excluded from backdoor listing in the Mainland. Our reporter Lu Yinan

Li Ka-shing frequently.

China's accession to the WTO has brought new opportunities to industrialists at home and abroad. Li Ka-shing, who is good at dancing with long sleeves, strikes again with his keen sense of smell of market ups and downs. Recently, with her strong financial advantages, she has made frequent moves, which has aroused widespread concern in the industry.

Following the US$ 70 million investment in Qingdao tire manufacturing industry in May, on June 5438+00, Li Ka-shing, chairman of Hong Kong Changjiang Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. and Hutchison Whampoa Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Changhe Department"), said at the special shareholders' meeting that the two companies would hold more shares of BOC (Hong Kong) through public offering. Then, on July 12, PCCW announced that it would set up a joint venture with China Telecom to provide IT enterprise solutions for the mainland financial industry. It is reported that the total investment of the joint venture company is about 200 million yuan, PCCW has obtained the right to operate the company, and the income of the joint venture company can be included in the PCCW account. China Telecom will hold 565,438+0.5% equity of the joint venture company, and PCCW will hold 48.5% equity. In the second half of this year, similar news from Changhe Department will continue to spread.

Changhe's series of investments, involving a wide range of fields, regions and time periods, are unprecedented, laying the groundwork for Li Ka-shing's long-planned hegemony in the mainland. A few days ago, the reporter interviewed some employees of Changhe Department who participated in the business expansion in the Mainland, and learned the inside story of some Changhe Department's recent rapid "surge" in the Mainland.
