Hong Kong's new giants

The newcomers fight, and there are a lot of people watching.

……

Fang Jin proudly reported his achievements, but Lin Zuhui's heart did not fluctuate.

"It's all small things. He can't affect us, and we can't affect him. Let's call it a day!"

He just wanted to prove to those people that he was not a vegetarian, so don't take the initiative to mess with him in the future.

"By the way, have you contacted the masterminds of Yiren Real Estate and New Era Real Estate recently?"

"No! The stock market is so hot recently, they must not be willing to sell at a low price."

Of course Lin Zuhui knows this truth, and this kind of shell business is not just a few months, you can immediately do another one, everything depends on the chance.

"Then have their stock prices gone up?"

"If it rises a little, they are all junk stocks; if it rises a little, those stockholders will sell and buy stocks of other companies. Those two chairman's still have illusions!"

Because Great Wisdom Investment is unwilling to buy at a premium, it is difficult to reach an agreement in a booming market like this.

Lin Zuhui pondered for a while, and said: "Although they are unwilling to sell, we still have to take the initiative to treat them to a meal or something. Of course, even if they are willing to sell, we should not rush to buy. The stock market has risen so sharply, sooner or later It’s going to fall once. The blue chip stocks are fine, but those small and medium stocks will definitely suffer. We will wait for the opportunity slowly, and there is no rush for this.”

"Okay, I'll make an appointment, we'll have dinner with them that day!"

Both companies are relatively good shells, but Lin Zuhui intends to adopt different methods of operation.

Yiren bought real estate, he didn't need it himself, after the separation, Fang Jin was willing to do the shelling, so let him do it;

For New Era Real Estate, he plans to buy himself as his first listed company. If he wants to compete with Da Liu for Chinese real estate, he must have his own listed company, otherwise he will not be a rival at all if he only relies on his own funds.

If you own a listed company, you can raise funds for a rights issue, and then use the funds obtained to acquire Chinese properties. This is the best way.

These two companies will wait for the mid-to-small-cap stock market crash in June to negotiate an acquisition, and then the frightened two chairman will be able to talk more.In fact, they had no choice, because the two stocks were in danger of being liquidated.

Of course, Lin Zuhui also faces challenges:

First: funds may be insufficient;

Second: the emergence of competitors.

That's why he asked Fang Jin to meet the major shareholders of the two listed companies separately, and let's have a meal together.At that time, they have figured it out, and they can immediately think of great wisdom investment.

As for the funding issue, I only hope that the new magazine "GOOD" will be successful and bring me considerable profits; then, I will ask the bank for a loan, or ask Wang Qilin for help.

Lin Zuhui felt that he was almost the same as Wang Dehui and Chen Zengxi, one was stingy and the other was lonely.

Wang Dehui (Chinachem Real Estate) is notoriously stingy. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, moon cakes are distributed to employees. The moon cakes are divided into sixteen equal parts, and each employee gets two pieces; I bought an AB type, and said: If you want to be thick, blunt the nib; if you want to be thin, sharpen the nib; He never forgets to pack leftovers and feed the dog when he goes out to eat; he also wears breeches cut from old jeans.

Chen Zengxi (Hang Lung Properties) built a residential building on Bowen Road in the early 70s. The units on the ground were all leased to tenants, and his family lived in the cellar garage.

Lin Zuhui has more or less the same things as them. Every money he earns is basically invested in the stock market; all the money he spends is cheated from Guan Jiahui, and his car is also given by Wang Qilin. The house is also rented.

The only difference is that Lin Zuhui is not that kind of stingy character, but that he really needs to raise a sum of money as soon as possible; this money can allow him to own a listed company, so that he can compete with those tycoons on the same stage.

Who wouldn't want luxury cars piled up in the garage, a villa covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square feet, surrounded by beauties like clouds who are grooms every night.

Chapter 48 【Wheelock War 1】

Thursday, May 2.

You have to go to work on Valentine's Day, this is what Lin Zuhui said to Guan Jiahui in the morning.

Of course, it might be possible to leave work early.

When I came to Wanhui Publishing House in the morning, the staff greeted me enthusiastically. Everyone was in a good spirit. There are probably two reasons:

First, the news that the company will distribute a total of 20 year-end bonuses to all employees this year has already been released, and it will be distributed together with salaries tomorrow; this is undoubtedly good news for everyone who has only joined the company for two months.

Second, the sales volume of "FHM" has climbed again, and it has reached nearly 7 copies. It grew up in the "adversity", of course, there is another reason why it spent another 50 yuan on advertising.

The sales of "FHM" determine the income of everyone in the company, so every employee of Wanhui Publishing House has a sense of responsibility and contributes their own efforts.

When I came to my office, there was a copy of the eighth issue of "FHM" to be released tomorrow on my desk, and the "Bang Girl" was the newly promoted girl-Wang Zuxian.

Joey Wong became the eighth "Gang Girl" of "FHM" because Shaw Films took the initiative to promote it, because Joey Wong has a movie released on the 19th of this month and wants to promote it in "FHM".

At this time, "Men's Gang" was very famous, with millions of advertising fees every month, and the invitation of actresses in Hong Kong would naturally not be rejected or asked for compensation; not only that, many actresses began to contact "Men's Gang", hoping to become a 'gang girl'.

It's a pity that none of them took the initiative to ask him out for dinner. Lin Zuhui secretly scolded these actresses for being "ignorant of flattery".

Just as Lin Zuhui fell into the good 'memories' with the stars, the phone on the table rang.

"Hey"

"Boss, big brother, something big happened!"

"You were bitten?"

"It's not a boss, it's a group called the 'Khoo Teck Puat Consortium', which advertised in the newspaper: It states that it has purchased 14% of Wheelock's shares from the Madden family, and is now starting to fully purchase Wheelock's shares from other shareholders; The bid price is 6.2 Hong Kong dollars for A shares and 6.2 cents for B shares.”

Wheelock is the only listed company in Heung Kong that owns AB shares. The price difference between A shares and B shares is ten times, but the votes are the same.

Back then, the Madden family of Wheelock thought of this move, and the bigwigs of Xiangjiang listed companies were shocked and immediately wanted to follow the example of Wheelock and establish the AB share system. Among them was Li Chaoren's Cheung Kong Industrial.

How can this work, everyone is doing this, the Hong Kong stock market is in chaos; the result is that the Hong Kong government called an emergency stop, and everyone failed.However, Wheelock, which has implemented AB shares, has slipped through the net.

"Calm down, isn't it just 6.2 Hong Kong dollars per share, can you be a little bit promising!" Lin Zuhui said calmly.

"Well, I listen to the boss."

Hearing Lin Zuhui's calm tone, Fang Jin felt relieved.

You know, Great Wisdom Investment Company invested 1900 million yuan to buy Wheelock, and the cost price was only 4.3 Hong Kong dollars; according to the current purchase price, they have already obtained [-]% of the profit.

The boss is worthy of being a boss, and his investment awareness is like beating up all the stockholders in Hong Kong.

Lin Zuhui said on the phone: "Don't worry about it so much, Qiu Deba can't make Huilock. It's just a dragon crossing the river. Xiangjiang doesn't know how many local snakes. It's the Nanyang consortium's turn to challenge."

Qiu Deba ranked second among the rich Chinese in Sing Tao, second only to the Huang Tingfang family, with family assets close to tens of billions.

"kindness"

Putting down the phone, Lin Zuhui showed a smug smile. He could finally witness a takeover battle.

Not only can you witness it, but you can also participate in it.

……

The Wheelock war is about to break out. Some smart stockholders will not hand over chips to Qiu Deba immediately, but there are also some fools who hand over their chips, but it will not affect the overall situation.

original.

If it wasn't for the Wheelock battle, most Xiangjiang people would not know that the largest shareholder of Wheelock is actually the Zhang Yuliang family.

Zhang Yuliang's father, Zhang Zhushan, started his business by relying on western medicine (he made money from the Korean War, so all his money was invested in Australia later), and he got involved in real estate in the late 50s. In 1962, Zhang Yuliang, the fourth son of Zhang Zhushan, built two buildings with family funds - Federal Building and International Building (the two buildings were priced at 1981 billion in 23), which shows how rich this family is.At that time, none of the four major families could compare with the Zhang family.

At that time, there was only one British-owned stock exchange in Hong Kong—the Hong Kong Association, and it was difficult for Chinese companies to go public. Zhang Yuliang decided to go public through a backdoor. He exchanged the Federal Building and the International Building for 77% of the shares of the Madden family’s Federal Real Estate.

From 1970 to 1972, Zhang Yuliang used part of the shares of Federal Real Estate and a large number of properties in exchange for the shares of the Madden family Wheelock; at the highest point, Zhang Yuliang accounted for 40% of the shares of Wheelock, while the Marden family was less than 20% of the shares. %.

But Zhang Yuliang has always been low-key, only serving as a director of Wheelock, and the Madden family as the chairman of the board of directors and president.

The Zhang family went public through a backdoor, as long as the flesh (real) and not the shell (name).

Because of this, the Madden family never felt that Zhang Yuliang was a threat.

Xiao Ma Deng is well-known in Hong Kong for his great success. He built Wheelock Building in 1980. His real estate trust had enough funds to build it alone; but he invited major real estate developers to participate, and the largest shareholder was Zhang family.

In other words, the funds in Xiao Ma Deng's hands could have built one building, but he wanted to build ten buildings; as for the shareholding ratio, he didn't care at all, what he cared about was that the ten buildings belonged to Ma in name. Deng family.

……

This time, the Madden family quietly transferred the shares to Qiu Deba, without greeting the board of directors, Zhang Yuliang was probably going to be furious: I am the major shareholder of Wheelock, with a large shareholding power, how could you do such a thing behind my back? What about the big things?

At this time, Zhang Yuliang held 34% of Wheelock's equity, which is logically very stable;

However, Qiu Deba launched a comprehensive acquisition, which means that the acquisition can be declared successful when the shares reach 51%.

A full acquisition is not a privatization, as long as it exceeds 50%, you can declare victory and become the chairman of the board of directors.

Then again, Zhang Yuliang holds 34% of the shares. If he wants to repel the Khoo Teck Puat Consortium, he only needs to acquire 17% of the shares of Wheelock, which is relatively easy.

After all, Qiu Teck Puat only has 14% of the shares.

But unfortunately, like the Madden family, the Zhang family also wants to fade out of Xiangjiang and invest overseas.

So, how could they come up with funds to fully acquire Wheelock.

As for selling to Qiu Deba, that's even more impossible. There is no such way of playing in the takeover battle.

Zhang Yuliang had no choice but to find foreign aid to take over his shares, and emphasized that the foreign aid must defeat Qiu Deba.

Chapter 49 【Wheelock War 2】

The Wheelock battle was about to break out, but Lin Zuhui was very calm. Although he held 720 million shares (440 million shares of great wisdom + 280 million personal shares), he knew the context of the matter.

Today is only Thursday, and there are still two trading days in this week. It is destined that no opponent will join in the battle with the Qiu Deba consortium.

Because of this, the Qiu Tak Puat consortium can probably acquire less than 10% of the shares, which is already very powerful. After all, many smart people know that Hong Kong's local snakes have not yet exerted their strength, so why sell their bargaining chips? .

And those who sell stocks can actually understand it, because Wheelock stock is the famous "blue lantern", and investors regard it as tasteless.

The so-called "blue lantern" is a Chinese saying. In ancient times, when someone's house had something to say, blue lanterns were usually hung on it; It is lifeless, far inferior to other blue-chip stocks, and the rise has been poor, and it is still slow.

Therefore, the Qiu Deba consortium bought it at a premium of 20%, and some shareholders were naturally overjoyed, and they handed over their chips prematurely.

……

In the afternoon, Lin Zuhui came to Wang Qilin's office, and the two made an appointment to meet.

Wang Qilin was working, and Lin Zuhui was not polite, sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper.

"What can you do with me?" Wang Qilin asked with a smile.

Lin Zuhui put down the newspaper, came to Wang Qilin's desk, and said, "Uncle Wang, do you want to make a small fortune?"

Wang Qilin said indifferently: "It's not your stock investment again, is it? Actually, I also invest in stocks, but I prefer to focus on real estate developers."

"This time it's a short-term, you can get [-]% to [-]% profit, probably only half a month!"

Wang Qilin said with a smile: "You won't tell me to buy Wheelock's stock?"

He also read the news this morning. After all, Wheelock is a blue-chip stock in Xiangjiang, and Qiu Deba is a rich man in Southeast Asia, but he wants to buy an old foreign firm in Xiangjiang. This is a big deal.

Lin Zuhui shook his head and said, "Of course not!"

After finishing speaking, he borrowed Wang Qilin's pen and paper to write some words, and said, "Uncle Wang, let me analyze it for you! Qiu Deba is a large Nanyang consortium, and now it is absolutely impossible to succeed in acquiring the four major foreign companies in Xiangjiang. Zhang Yuliang Annoyed that Madden sold shares quietly, and also angry that Qiu Deba wanted to take over Wheelock, but Zhang Yuliang would not launch an anti-acquisition because he, like the Madden family, was wary of the mainland.

As a result, Zhang Yuliang had to find a strong person to defeat Qiu Deba.He has always kept a low profile, and only cooperated with Li Chaoren many times in the late 70s and early 80s, so the first helper he sought must be Li Chaoren. "

Wang Qilin nodded cooperatively and said, "But Li Chaoren just spent 29 billion in cash to buy Hongkong Electric, and there is strength to compete with the Qiu Tak Puat consortium."

Lin Zuhui continued: "Yes, Superman Li is definitely not worried about going to Wheelock now, but he once won Hutchison Whampoa and owed a favor to someone, and this time he just repaid it."

"Charter King?"

"Yes, so the weekend charter king will definitely join the Wheelock battle. In fact, according to the relationship between the charter king and the old Ma Deng, the little Ma Deng should inform the charter king about the sale of Wheelock shares this time. After all, Over the years, if it weren’t for the charter king looking at the old relationship, he would have the strength to join Wheelock.”

Wang Qilin admired Lin Zuhui's way of pointing out Jiangshan. After all, he was able to analyze this step at a young age, and he was already ahead of most businessmen in Xiangjiang.

"Then what is the opportunity to make money you speak of?"

He knew that the stock that Lin Zuhui might invest in was Wheelock. This kid is really good, and he can earn at least [-]% of the profit!

Lin Zuhui continued to demonstrate on paper, saying: "When all eyes are on Wheelock's stock, they forget that there is a big cake, and this big cake is the 'joint enterprise'"

Wang Qilin also looked confused, and asked: "Consolidated enterprise? Whose company is it, and what does it have to do with Wheelock?"

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: “[Consolidated Enterprise] is a listed company under the Wheelock Group (unlisted), and a considerable part of the company’s assets are ships. The Great Depression in shipping has depreciated the value of ships, so its stocks have also been reduced to ‘bean dregs stocks’. .But this company has a great thing, that is, it holds a lot of Wheelock shares."

Wang Qilin suddenly realized that it was so!

The victory or defeat of the Wheelock battle depends on who gets 51% of the shares first, so the Wheelock shares in the hands of this conglomerate are not a sweet potato!

"You mean to tell me to buy the shares of the joint venture, but if the joint venture sells the shares of Defeng to any party, wouldn't the investment be a failure!"

"Why did the conglomerate do this? He waited for the charter king to buy it at a premium, and he didn't get more! You also know that the ship king is not short of money. If the charter king joins this war, he will It is possible to find out the shares of Wheelock in the hands of the joint venture soon, because he is a shareholder of this company. Therefore, the most likely thing to happen is to buy the joint venture at a premium of [-] to [-]% based on the consistent acquisition of the charter king.”

To be honest, the move of acquiring a conglomerate is really clever.It not only increased the shares in his own hands, but also prevented the joint venture from selling Defeng shares to Qiu Deba.

Once the charter king joins in, the stockholders will cherish their bargaining chips very much.

The conglomerate owns 6.8% of Wheelock’s shares, plus the Zhang Yuliang family’s 34%, and Charter King owns 40.8% of Wheelock’s shares; but due to the AB share system implemented by Wheelock, B shares have the same voting rights, Therefore, Bao Yugang's shares can only be counted as 38% at most.
