Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Under the circumstances that Jardine felt that Wharf would not be able to keep it sooner or later, for the long-term interests of the Jardine Group, Niu Bijian, the chairman of Jardine, and Bao Fu, the executive director of Hongkong Land, came to escape the shell, forcing the charter king to buy Wharf at a high price.

The initial price of Wharf stock held by Hongkong Land was about ten Hong Kong dollars. As the two parties continued to buy more, the price of Wharf immediately reached forty to fifty Hong Kong dollars.

In the end, Hongkong Land raised the repurchase price to HK$[-], and the stock price doubled. In order to force the charter king to follow suit, Hongkong Land specially chose the time when the charter king went abroad.

Unprepared, it seems that the charter king was caught off guard, but in fact, there was a hidden plan to lure the charter king to speed up the acquisition of Wharf stocks.

Sure enough, when the charter king Pao Yukang, who was eager to go ashore, received the news of Landmark’s additional purchase, he immediately returned to Xiangjiang and bought 2000 million Wharf shares at a price of HK$49 per share in cash, so as to let himself hold Wharf shares reached [-]%.

As an old Jianghu, the charter king still kept one thing in mind, that is, Jardine Land was excluded from all the stocks he bought.

It is a pity that Hongkong Land has already made all preparations and deposited its Wharf shares in a major brokerage firm and agency company in advance. When the chartered shipping king announced the purchase, he called through his agent and brokerage firm day and night.

No matter how powerful the charter king is, he never thought that these Wharf stocks held in the name of brokerage firms and agents were actually owned by his deadly rival Landmark.

According to the data, Hongkong Land held more than 300 million Wharf shares, and finally successfully sold 1000 million shares, cashing out about one billion Hong Kong dollars.

The average purchase price of this batch of stocks was about HK$37, and the sale price was HK$[-], which means a profit of nearly HK$[-] million.

When the charter king held 49% of the shares in Wharf and Wharf resumed trading, the stock price once fell to around HK$[-].

In other words, although the charter king won the takeover battle, it lost hundreds of millions of dollars on book value.

Chapter 286

Of course, this amount of money is insignificant compared to helping the charter king successfully land.

As a world ship king, Wharf has great significance to the charter king, and this is another turning point in the life of the charter king.

If there is no Wharf warehouse, it will be difficult for the charter king to abandon the ship and dock, or in other words, he will have to wait for a long time.

After all, there are not many companies in Heung Kong that can compete with Wharf. The famous world shipping tycoon wants to dock, so naturally he can't choose one or two cats or dogs.

Moreover, Wharf and Universal can complement each other very well. For the charter king, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and even a little bloodshed is worth it.

Hearing Yang Chen's self-effacement, the charter king shook his head, expressing his disapproval.

A transaction of several hundred million is also called a small fight?

If this is said, I don't know how many people will be slapped in the face.

Bao Yugang was half-serious, half-joking: "Ah Chen, you can just talk about it with me, but don't say it outside, otherwise, I don't know how many old guys will be ashamed."

When he acquired Wharf, he mobilized about 20 billion funds, which caused a sensation in the whole Xiangjiang.

Although Kowloon Bus is far more than ten times worse than Wharf, but according to the current listed companies in Hong Kong, Kowloon Bus is not too small.

He controlled the Nine Dragons warehouse, just a simple holding, but Yang Chen was going to swallow the Nine Dragons Bus in one gulp.

Based on this alone, it is not something that ordinary people can do.

Hearing this, Yang Chen rubbed his nose, saying that there was nothing wrong with what he said. Compared to the Chartered Ship King and Li's richest man, he really can only be regarded as a trivial matter.

As for the others, to be honest, Yang Chen didn't take it to heart at all.

Seeing that Yang Chen was humble on the surface, but there was a bit of indifference in his eyes, the charter king liked it more and more. This kind of strong self-confidence emanating from inside and outside made the charter king appreciate it very much.

In Charter King's view, young people should have the self-confidence that they can give up.

"Ah Chen, do you have any plans for the future?"

Hearing this, Yang Chen shook his head and said, "Uncle Bao, I'm so busy every day that I don't touch the ground, so I don't have any plans."

Now the most important thing for his company is stable development. Even if he wants to continue to expand, he has to wait for him to make enough money in the stock market.

He did not have the accumulation of decades of chartering king and others. In the capitalist society of Xiangjiang, without money, it is really difficult to move an inch.

Therefore, until the end of the year, he will not make any big disturbances.

Taking a sip of tea, Yang Chen looked up and saw that the charter king seemed to have something to say, and his brain was working fast.

After a while, Yang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he caught something instantly.

Immediately, he joked, "Uncle Bao, you know that I have been doing a lot during this time.

No matter how good the appetite is, it still takes time to digest it, otherwise, if you eat it in one bite, you will become a big fat man, and you will have to eat it to death. "

"However, my nephew still has a lot of spare money. If Uncle Bao has any good suggestions, you might as well recommend them to my nephew, so that I can earn some money to spend with Uncle Bao."

He borrowed 20 billion from HSBC, and now there are hundreds of millions left unspent. The money is kept in his hands every day, and the monthly interest alone is not a small amount.

Right now, he has no big investment direction for the time being. It is not a solution to keep the money in his hands all the time. Naturally, he has to find a place to spend it.

Of course, this is not the main reason. It is absolutely false to say that the money in his hand really has no place to spend.

Whether it's the next Zhao family, or the Donghua Group he let Han Wenguang and the three of them set up, either side can swallow up the remaining funds in his hands.

Hearing Yang Chen's words, the Chartered Ship King, who had no intention of continuing to talk, took a careful look at Yang Chen in front of him.

"That's right, neither arrogance nor impetuosity, it's rare that you can still calm down at this moment, and not be dazzled by the momentary victory."

"I have to say that Tai Pan Wang's vision is as accurate as ever. I am not as good as him in terms of judging people."

Regarding this, Yang Chen smiled dryly, but did not respond.

The reason why he said this was entirely because of the fat and oily piece of fat in the charter king's hand.

Since Wharf World War I, after more than a year, the charter king has completely controlled Wharf, the largest freight warehouse in Xiangjiang.

Yang Chen clearly remembered why Wu Zhengguang, the second son-in-law of the charter king, was given the title of charterer for later generations.

As the most valued person of the charter king, Wu Zhengguang inherited his father-in-law's land kingdom, the most important of which are the two companies of Wharf and Wheelock.

Wharf is an established company that mainly operates warehouses and terminals.

However, in the 80s, the modern container terminal industry began to develop, and Wharf's old-style terminals were facing the fate of being eliminated by the market.

At the end of the 80s, Wharf's position in freight had been completely overtaken by Lee's richest man, Hutchison Whampoa.

At that time, Wu Zhengguang took another approach and decided to renovate some old warehouses and old docks.

At that time, some people suggested that these projects be used to develop real estate, but Wu Zhengguang finally transformed them into shopping malls.

Don't sell but rent, sit back and enjoy the rent.

Most real estate projects are for sale. After the house is sold, it is gone.

The title deeds of the two pieces of land totaled 999 years, and they were used as shopping malls to collect rents. It was a huge profit and allowed the Wu family to have a stable income.
