With the summer reinjection, the Cyberport project immediately came back to life.

In fact, in the investment world, the most important thing is the word "confidence".

When investors have confidence in the project, a project that is not very good can easily attract large investments.

For example, the priceline website is engaged in online ticket booking and booking business. It claims to users that they can buy discounted tickets from airlines. However, because it has just started its business, it has no close relationship with the airlines, so it is not easy to buy discounted tickets, and it often needs to be purchased at the original price.

Therefore, the ticket payment it charges to users is not enough to spend, and the company also needs to pay its own money. In addition, in order to get closer to the airline, it also has to give tens of millions of dollars of options to the airline.

Therefore, it can be said that this website is a website that loses money and gains publicity. However, because the public has confidence in it, the market value of this website after it is listed is higher than the total market value of Southwest Airlines, Delta Airlines, etc.

Therefore, inspiring confidence is very important in attracting investors.

The $2 billion in summer is actually not much. At its peak, the market value of the $220 billion is less than a fraction of it.

But the timing of it is really great.

While everyone was sneering at the Cyberport project, Xia Tian stepped forward and founded the Hong Kong branch of Watermelon Investment Company, spending $2 billion to encourage entrepreneurship.

This is a timely help, which warms people's hearts in an instant, restores entrepreneurs to vitality and allows investors to regain confidence.

Two billion US dollars is a small matter, and encouraging the people is a big matter.

Watermelon Investment Company settled in Hong Kong, bringing the Cyberport project back to life and becoming more enthusiastic.

Within one month, Xigua Investment Company approved 16 investment projects and injected funds into more than a dozen companies on the verge of bankruptcy.

Although these more than 30 companies account for only one-twentieth of Cyberport, they have played a very good leading role.

Half a year later, the number of Cyberport companies returned to their peak period.

After experiencing these twists and turns, startups that have previously blindly started businesses, lack planning, and lack potential have been eliminated. The remaining companies are not afraid to say that every family has good projects, at least they are no longer as exaggerated as before.

Therefore, in terms of quality, Cyberport is better today than before.

...

Compared with the revived Cyberport, the British consortium has had a hard time recently.

The reason is that they used to compete with the summer to promote broadband with their landline services. Because it was the Internet hot at that time, the industries related to the Internet were favored by investors, so their acquisitions benefited greatly and their stock prices soared.

But since the collapse of the Nasdaq index in the United States, the Internet has subsided, and their Hong Kong Telecom stock prices have naturally fallen. From 28 yuan and 50 cents at its peak, they once fell to 5 yuan and 40 cents, and their market value has dropped by more than 80%.

The British consortium acquired Hong Kong Telecom at that time, using stock exchanges and cash. The actual cash spent was only 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the rest were all for stock exchanges.

Even so, the stock price plummeted now, which is not a good thing for them.

First, the reason why they acquired Hong Kong Telecom is because they are interested in the development prospects of the Internet and want to make a fortune in this industry. Now that the Internet is hot, they have lost very good money-making projects.

Second, they had previously acquired Enron, acquired Hong Kong Telecom, and invested in the Internet, owing huge debts of hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars. They were preparing to repay this money with Hong Kong Telecom, such as selling assets, transferring profits, etc. Now that Hong Kong Telecom's stock price has plummeted, and its asset valuation has also shrunk significantly. It is naturally difficult to sell assets and cash out to repay debts.

In his previous life, Little Superman Li Zekai won Hong Kong Telecom through leverage acquisition. It was the peak period of Internet development, so Yingke Telecom's highest market value at that time was 580 billion Hong Kong dollars.

But the Internet bubble collapsed later, and the small Superman sold assets to cash out and repay debts, causing Yingke Telecom to shrink its value. Two years later, it only had a market value of less than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Although Hong Kong Telecom is not as miserable as in previous lives, its valuation has shrunk significantly. British consortiums have also lost nearly 400 billion Hong Kong dollars due to two consecutive acquisitions, and have been teased by the media as the "subordinate" of the "century".

Such a nickname makes the once-powerful British consortium lose face.

The huge losses caused by the two acquisitions have caused several wealthy British consortiums to bear heavy debts. In order to repay the loan, they had to sell their assets and misappropriate the company's profits to repay the loan, which led to huge losses in the company.

For example, Hutchison Whampoa's profit last year was 8.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, but this year it has suffered losses for three consecutive quarters. During the annual audit, the loss amount reached 15 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Since such a huge loss occurs, the year-end dividend will not be expected, which naturally makes small and medium-sized investors very dissatisfied. They are not the company's senior management and cannot enjoy any benefits of the company.

For example, major shareholders of listed companies usually hold positions in the company or occupy a seat on the board of directors. Compared with small and medium shareholders, they enjoy many privileges. For example, they can receive a lot of money, occupy the company's property, enjoy the benefits provided by the company, etc.

Taking summer as an example, he can buy famous cars, famous paintings, luxury houses, jewelry, red wine, airplanes, golf course membership cards, etc. He can reimburse all expenses in his life in the name of the company.

Because he is the chairman of the company, everything he does can be done under the company's banner. Even if he goes to a nightclub, he can be considered as
