1In the autumn of 993, Zhou Kaixuan met Li Ka-shing for the first time at Wang Fu Hotel. She prepared a thick stack of materials in advance and carefully organized various reasons to convince Mr. Li.
When they sat down face to face, Li Ka-shing asked, Is it because you have rich real estate experience that you are in charge of this project? Zhou Kaixuan, tell me the truth. Mr. Li didn't ask her about her experience, only how the demolition and land leveling were completed.
Five minutes later, when the dust settled, Li Ka-shing agreed to the percentage of commission proposed by Zhou Kaixuan, and she was responsible for all the demolition and completion of the full set of procedures. Sure enough, after more than half a year, all the land requisitioned by Oriental Plaza was vacated and the ground buildings were razed to the ground.
1996 65438+ 10, Zhou Kaixuan handed over 65438+ square meters of "cultivated land" with complete formalities to the project company of Oriental Plaza, and she got a commission of HK$ 400 million according to 2.5% of the total investment of US$ 2 billion in Oriental Plaza. She will only take out half of the cash, and the other half will be converted into equity in Oriental Plaza as a long-term investment.
Second, strange girls in social circles
The love affair between Li Ka-shing and Zhou Kaixuan began on 1992. In the early 1990s, Zhou Kaixuan was the director of a company invested by Dongshi Group, responsible for investment projects in China. With the support of Shi Nansheng, Zhou Kaixuan gradually entered the upper class.
In addition to meeting businessmen from Hong Kong and Macao, Zhou Kaixuan also has a good relationship with the stars in the entertainment circle. However, Zhou Kaixuan wants to get on well with his boss, Dongshi Group.
Later, she met another friend, Zhang, who was Tung Chee-hwa's cousin and had a great influence on the Chairman. After establishing a good interpersonal network, Zhou Kaixuan's business career became smooth sailing.
Zhou Kaixuan Middle School, known as the bosom friend of Li Ka-shing, studied in Diocesan Girls' College. At that time, Zhou followed the Hong Kong company founded by Tung Chee-hwa's cousin Zhang, and served as a consultant for Dong Jia and Changshi to cooperate in the Beijing Oriental Plaza project, which became a bridge between the Li family and Dong Jia and won Li's appreciation.
1At the end of 1998, Zhou Kaixuan attended the awarding ceremony of honorary doctorate degree of City University in Li Ka-shing as a relative, and personally took photos of him.
Moreover, she often tells others that she is a director of the Li Ka-shing Foundation, emphasizing that most of the people who can hold this position are the Li family. 1999, accompanied Li to establish a university in the UK and obtained an honorary doctorate in law, and personally held an umbrella for Li.
Zhou Kaixuan, 32 years younger than Li Ka-shing, often deliberately matures her hairstyle and makeup, wearing a dark CHANEL suit and holding a HEMES handbag. Zhou moved to thousands of feet House, No.2 Xiangdao Road, which is only five minutes' drive from the Lee House in Deep Water Bay. And the two often appear together for breakfast in the Deep Water Bay High Court.
Third, command Tom to sprint Nasdaq.
Because of the Oriental Plaza project, Zhou Kaixuan is gradually approaching the Changjiang Industrial Group where Li Ka-shing is located. Her business strategy planning ability also makes "Old Superman" sit up and take notice.
1999 The rise of the Internet craze has followed Zhou Kaixuan's idea. In March, 2000, Li Ka-shing promoted Tom's online Growth Enterprise Market in Hong Kong, which made Zhou Kaixuan very popular in the Hong Kong market. According to the report at that time, when Zhou Li and Tom co-founded, the latter only invested HK$ 300,000. As a result, after listing, his worth soared to the highest of HK$ 65.438+0.27 billion, making him a billionaire.
Zhou Kaixuan firmly controls Tom, and an insider of Tom once said, "Tom has all the details, and almost all the decision-making power is in Zhou Kaixuan, including the earliest proposal and establishment of the company, as well as the appointment and removal of high-level important people."
Every step of Tom's development is closely related to Zhou Kaixuan. After completing the Oriental Plaza project, Zhou Kaixuan has always regarded Tom as his career.
With the revival of Internet format in overseas stock markets, Tom entered the preparatory stage of listing on NASDAQ. Because Zhou Kaixuan's Thunder Wuji has a competitive relationship with Tom's business, and Zhou Kaixuan is also the major shareholder of Thunder Wuji, how to deal with the composite brand once made Tom feel a headache.
On September 15, TOM's board of directors began to issue an announcement, clarifying matters related to Tom's plan to acquire Thunder's unlimited rights and interests wholly owned by Zhou Kaixuan, the major shareholder, which cleared the way for Tom's overseas listing.
Wang Xianxian, CEO of Capital M&A expert, Tang Meijuan, CFO of financial expert, Wang Leilei, a young Internet player, and Zhou Kaixuan, a strong woman, are building TOM's strength lineup with complementary advantages and pushing Tom to make a fortune again.
Extended data:
Zhou Kaixuan's story is not a traditional Hong Kong wealth story. The most talked about by the outside world is the relationship between Zhou Kaixuan, Tung Chee-hwa and Li Ka-shing. The original accumulation of her huge wealth really benefited from two people: one is the most powerful person in Hong Kong-Tung Chee-hwa, the former chief executive of Hong Kong; One is Li Ka-shing, the richest man in Hong Kong.
Zhou Kaixuan has a legendary experience from an ordinary company employee to a billionaire, and the achievement of this leap lies in her outstanding ability and distinctive personality.
She started with her own mind and gained recognition by her own ability. With these resources, she paved a broad platform. She has the ability of independent thinking, at the same time, she has super communication and cooperation ability, and she has a positive and indifferent attitude. If you use one word to describe her, you can only say: charm.
