Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

In early June, when news of the major earthquake arrived, and it seemed that there were very few casualties, He Yuzhu smiled.

They notified Malaysia to send them a million tons of various reconstruction materials, and also sent them 10 billion Malaysian Ringgit. They have so much money that they can't possibly spend it all.

The investment department in Hong Kong earned less than 50 billion US dollars in gold and oil in a year.

The most extravagant investment project in Malaysia generated over 10 billion Malaysian Ringgit in profits last year. The full-year forecast is 12.3 billion Malaysian Ringgit.

Many more factories will be built this year, and the profits will be even greater next year. Once all the target factories are completed and in production, the goal of generating 20 billion Eagle Dollars per year will be achieved.

Hong Kong City Company's projected profit is HK$13 billion, which is already incredibly strong here.

Its net profit is more than three times that of the second-ranked Asian Group, which is expected to have a profit of four billion.

He Yuzhu is currently dismantling the mining area in Australia. There are too many mineral resources there, and the 'Starry Sky' Group alone cannot handle them. Too many people will be eyeing them.

The only way to dismantle it is while everyone is still unclear about how much mineral resources there are.

Send two more group companies over, Niu Niu's 'Glorious' company plus his own Dongda company, the three of them will share the mining area equally.

The equity transfer was not difficult without anyone knowing, and it also allowed 'Glorious' Company to acquire BHP and BHP, which were not yet merged, and Rio Tinto as well.

Founded in 1885, BHP is one of Australia's oldest mining companies. Billiton originated in The Hague, Riverland in 1860.

Following the merger, the company simplified its name to BHP Group in 2021, but "必和必拓" remains the commonly used Chinese name.

Rio Tinto, which originated in Australia, is still a listed company on the Australian Securities Exchange and is one of the "Big Three" iron ore producers.

They are still too small, and this is a good opportunity to acquire them; they also have mineral resources.

The two conglomerates, Hutchison Whampoa and Wheelock, have finally been completely split up. On the surface, they've been traded, each going back to its own company, and they'll be profitable next year.

Some companies were restructured, and personnel were redistributed to various companies. Wheelock no longer had Cheung Ka-fai Shipping and Shipping Company, and its other industries were only so-so.

The investment holding company isn't good enough; it can be sold in a few years. Its real estate development and property investment are far inferior to Dongda Group's; they could be merged into it.

The trade business is far inferior to what our own group can sell, and the operating income is too low, so let Sun Dewang worry about it.

The hotel management is so-so. There's a hotel in the same location in the port city, so we don't need to keep it.

There are a few decent ones overseas, but unfortunately they are not five-star hotels. Whether they will be rebuilt or left as they are remains to be discussed.

Since the Zhang family's company has already been agreed to be given to them, they can hold shares but not manage it, so let's leave it as it is.

Hutchison Whampoa was the real golden goose, worth over four billion in the 80s. Haha, Wayne underestimated it back then, by more than half.

An assessment of 2.7 billion? Haha, what a joke!

Right now, He Yuzhu, Zhao Youcai, and others, after more than a year of valuation, believe that Hutchison is worth at least six billion, and that many companies should be making substantial profits, but are actually losing money.

Companies like this are basically making money off others, with some even paying them to join. Take Watsons, for example. It's relatively unknown in Hong Kong and is losing money on a small scale. ParknShop, on the other hand, makes less than four million Hong Kong dollars a year.

Light industries such as textiles and food processing are all losing money. Although real estate and hotels are not Hutchison's core businesses, they have already made some investments in these sectors, but they are still losing money.

The main port and related services, including terminal operations and shipping-related businesses.

Aside from the ports and docks still operating at a loss, if Hutchison Whampoa isn't losing money overall, who is?

Expansion that is too rapid, without sufficient funding, leads most companies into a vicious cycle: they lack the funds for normal production and business expansion.

Money is not a problem for Dongda Group. Two-thirds of the company has invested this year, and it will be able to get out of the quagmire and make a profit this year.

The Huangpu Wharf will retain one major expansion project, while the others can be closed to start real estate development projects.

Superman has good judgment; Hutchison Whampoa Port's wealth is no less than that of Wharf Holdings.

The two men used vastly different amounts of money to acquire the two companies, and perhaps they can use this as a basis to redefine their asset size for the next twenty years.

In late June, they arrived in Japan, not to smuggle supplies, but to find someone for the underlings to drink with.

You've seen "Blood Ties," right? Do you remember the female lead? It's her, it's her, it's her!

She's still just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old like Momoe Koyaguchi, and can be summed up in one word: 'pure'.

Although her character is remembered by later generations as clear-headed, independent, resilient, decisive, and loyal, she is still considered to be a person of great character.

At 17 years old, she recently spent a fortune to buy off her father's relationship with her in order to get rid of him profiting from her fame, and she remained unmoved even though she was accused of being "unfilial".

Unfortunately, that's only what outsiders see. Her underlings played a part in it. Don't think that she has a lot of money just because she's only been in the industry for four years. This is the 1970s, not the 1940s or 50s.

In 1977, top film actors such as Brigitte Lin earned approximately HK$20 per film, and Ti Lung earned approximately HK$12 per film; while Adam Cheng's income in television dramas far exceeded that in the film industry.

Yamaguchi is far inferior to Adam Cheng. In her younger brother's film company, she was still a 'newcomer' and was treated better. She only received 30% of the filming income and had to pay taxes.

At the peak of her career, she announced her retirement at the Budokan, and on November 19 of the same year, she married actor Tomokazu Miura, completely retiring from the entertainment industry.

Her early retirement left people with regrets, which is why even more people liked her.

Besides, this guy has the 'Right Hand of God,' so having a seventeen-year-old woman drink with him is a piece of cake.

Drinking with one person is not as lively as drinking with a group of people, so eventually it became a drinking party of four or five people.

Two weeks later, He Yuzhu felt he should go back. The Japanese woman was very good at serving drinks, and he couldn't keep drinking forever.

They caused minor damage to shipyards and some important manufacturing plants, and stole a billion US dollars.

There are still people who dare to call themselves "chosen locusts," and they've already built the "divine toilet" again. My hands are itching to do it again!

A huge family pig exhibition!

They burned down the shrine without holding back!

After a dizzying experience, I returned to the port city to rest!

"Daddy, you're back. I came back to check on the family and will be back in half a month." The eldest son, He Mingzhong, returned to the port city.

"How is your study in Malaysia? Are you settling in well with the lifestyle?" He Yuzhu asked with a smile.

"There is a lot to learn. I am learning how to handle things there from my two uncles, He Guang and Du Ming. They mainly have me take notes, since there are no internal or external disputes yet, so they don't talk much about it."

We're quite used to the lifestyle here; there are many of us, and it's basically the same as here in many ways.

"You'll get used to it. There's not much going on there right now, it's mostly internal. But in a few years, when outsiders come along and you're older, things will get busier."

You need to adjust gradually; you've been back for a few days now.

"Four days."

"Your mom isn't home with you; she went to work."

"Mommy said I'm all grown up and don't need her company anymore. She only spent Sunday with me, but I still don't need her company."

"You've grown up. Has Niu Niu's weaponry reached you yet?"

"I just arrived before coming back. I'll be staying in Malaysia until January next year, then reload the cargo onto a ship and ship it over. Why not just send it directly there and save on shipping costs?"

"If we send the agreement over now, the other party might not be prepared and could leak it. The agreement is about to expire, and if it leaks again, it won't be our problem; they need to be prepared too."

"I understand, it's according to the agreement."

"That's right. Son, let me tell you a saying you must remember and never forget: 'As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement; as earth's nature is receptive, a gentleman should cultivate virtue and bear all things with magnanimity!' Understand this saying."

"I will, Daddy."

He Yuzhu realized that his eldest son had really grown up. He seemed to treat his younger siblings the same way he treated himself, no longer treating him like a child.

He Yuzhu was very pleased!
