Rebirth of Hong Kong's tycoons, shorting Eagle Sauce

Donald was born in a relatively wealthy family.

He had a leadership temperament since childhood and was more ambitious than his father. In 1974, he officially entered the New York real estate industry.

He first bought a run-down hotel near the New York station for 10 million.

It took five years to transform it into the Hyatt Hotel, and the business is still very prosperous today, becoming an important milestone in his career.

He was only 34 years old at the time and was already well-known in New York City.

Then he spent another 200 million US dollars to build a building named after his surname. The 68-story building is located in the commercial center of Manhattan.

The building attracted countless tenants, making him rich and famous.

So far, his business investment has begun to spread to other industries:

Opening casinos, operating shipping, running professional football teams, and sponsoring professional boxing matches.

What made Li Qilin look strange was Donald's bad taste. Whether he was building a building or even printing his surname on the toilet seat of a casino.

Although this is shameful, it did make Donald a famous rich man in the United States.

Moreover, he was ostentatious and often shocked the world with his special remarks.

The key is that bankers really believed in him and thought he would not joke about his reputation.

This made bankers willing to provide him with tens of millions of dollars in loans at any time.

With the loan, Donald frantically expanded his business territory, and real estate was naturally the top priority.

In the early 1990s, the real estate market in the United States was depressed, and Donald's wealth was rapidly depreciating and his income was also rapidly decreasing.

Personal assets depreciated rapidly from 1.8 billion US dollars to 500 million US dollars.

At that time, he was heavily in debt, and the annual interest burden alone was as high as more than 200 million US dollars.

When you owe banks more than one billion US dollars, you are their uncle, and this is truly reflected in Donald.

Many banks were afraid that they would not even get back their capital after he went bankrupt, so they reduced his loan interest.

This did give Donald, who was heavily in debt, a chance to breathe.

After this turmoil, his thinking became more meticulous, and he gradually dealt with his debts and recovered the real estate that was supervised by the bank.

In 1999, with the recovery of the real estate industry in the United States, Donald's net worth once again reached about 2 billion US dollars.

Although he didn't know why Donald wanted to see him, Wang Lei was still very happy to meet him and even made some investments.

Donald's building is not far from Rockefeller Center.

This future big man was very happy to see Wang Lei.

Because the status of the two at this time was very different, Wang Group was a Fortune 500 company, and the net worth of Wang's father and son was rumored to be hundreds of billions of US dollars!

And he was ranked hundreds of places outside the Forbes list, a well-known real estate developer in New York.

The gap between the two's status is not ordinary.

"Mr. Wang, thank you very much for meeting me."

Wang Lei nodded with a smile and said:

"Donald, don't be polite with me. I asked someone to prepare breakfast. Please eat with me."

Donald nodded in surprise. He didn't expect Wang Lei to be so easy to talk to. There was a kind of familiarity in his words.

Just as he pulled out the chair, a huge crash suddenly came from the direction of the World Trade Center.

Even the Rockefeller Building, which was far away, could feel the ground shaking.

Donald was frightened and quickly shrank his head and crawled under the table.

"Mr. Wang, hide in here quickly."

Wang Lei declined his kindness.

At this time, Liu Hu and Li Qilin rushed in.

Wang Lei asked in a serious tone: "What happened?"

"Boss, the plane crashed. Should we hide somewhere else?"

Just as Li Qilin asked, another crash came.

The ground was shattered, and the sound of a building collapsing came from afar.

The people downstairs cried out in panic.

"Donald, let's go to another place to talk."

...

Looking at the countless vehicles driving out, Donald finally came to his senses.

What surprised him was that Wang Lei remained calm.

It is said that the richer the people, the more afraid they are of death, but Wang Lei did not seem afraid at all.

"Donald, have you bought airline stocks?"

Donald shook his head. Wang Lei's words reminded him that if something like this happened, the stock market in the United States would definitely look very bad tomorrow, and he had to take action as soon as possible.

"But I recently bought the bottom of Internet stocks, about 38 million US dollars."

"Then you should ask the entrusted institution to sell as soon as possible. If you are slower, it will probably shrink a lot."

Donald took out his mobile phone in a slightly embarrassed manner and orderedAfter finishing off his men, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your reminder."

"It's okay, we are friends."

The word "friend" actually made Donald alert. Wang Lei might have some improper thoughts about him.

Soon he laughed at himself again. I'm afraid his little property is not enough to fill the gaps in the other party's teeth.

The car stopped at a luxurious manor in the suburbs of New York.

"Mr. Wang, is this your manor?"

"Yes, I'm sorry to embarrass you. This is my first time here since I bought this place. I asked the security guard to help us open the door."

Because the manor has been vacant, there are only two security guards and a cleaner who is responsible for cleaning.

It would be embarrassing for the rich to buy luxury houses and manors if they don't live there all the time. Once they are not managed well, they will become a paradise for security guards and cleaners.

Fortunately, the management of Wang's Real Estate has always been very strict. The rotation system and the spot check system must have avoided this situation.

After coming to the living room, Wang Lei turned on the LCD TV.

The TV was reporting the plane crash, and the two buildings of the World Trade Center had become a ruin!

Donald was in a trance, wondering what he would feel after experiencing this.

Wang Lei was not interested in this, but asked Donald about the business.

"It's like this, I have always held a small share of the Rockefeller Building, and now I have decided to transfer the shares to you."

Wang Lei suddenly realized that after he bought 80% of the shares of the Rockefeller Building from Mitsubishi Estate, he had been buying the remaining shares in the market. Now he holds nearly 98% of the shares, and he can ask someone to contact the holder of the last bit of shares.

However, the other party repeatedly refused to buy, and it turned out that the holder behind the scenes was Donald.

Donald was a very shrewd person. He knew that the real estate industry in the United States would definitely recover, and he would rather repay the loan slowly than sell the real estate in his hands.

"You have always refused to sell, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"I want to do a business with you."

Wang Lei became interested:

"Tell me."

"I want to be a member of Wang Group!"

Wang Lei understood his little thoughts instantly and said with a smile:

"Do you want to be a contractor of Wang Group?"

Donald nodded. He knew very well that if he could get close to Wang Lei, his real estate business would be further developed.

His business encountered a bottleneck. After thinking hard for several years, he saw the speed of Wang Group's expansion and felt that he could solve the dilemma by leveraging the momentum.
