Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

"There is another reason. If Land Land makes additional purchases by raising funds or issuing additional shares, if things go wrong, the company's finances will also have problems, and Land Land will be in a dangerous situation like Wharf. In this way, If it comes, the chartering king will be able to pull the plug and change the idea of ​​Land Land, so I conclude that Land Land cannot take risks, so we will just wait and see."

Zhao Shizong thought about it for a while and found that it was really the case.

Now they hold about 2000 million shares of Wharf through multiple accounts, which is enough to influence the situation of this battle. Next, they will wait for the two sides to start a war.

On June 6, Land started a war on Friday. Land publicly announced that it would buy back its shares in Wharf and prepare to increase its shares from 20% to 20%.

The additional purchase conditions are based on the closing price on Monday, June 6, two shares of Landmark priced at 16 yuan, plus a three-year unsecured bond with a face value of 12.2 yuan, including the interest on the bond, for a total consideration of 75.6 yuan. in exchange for one Wharf stock.

As soon as Land's announcement came out, Wharf's shares ceased to be licensed on four exchanges.

As soon as the news was released, it caused an uproar and retail investors holding Wharf stocks were overjoyed.

In any case, Wharf's stock is only over 70 yuan now, and Land's additional purchases directly caused the value of the stock in his hands to soar by 20%.

Some who are impatient have already looked for real estate and started to exchange for stocks, while others who are prudent are holding shares and waiting to see how the situation will develop.

As soon as Zhao Shizong received the news, he was shocked at the accuracy of Chu Jianghe's prediction, and then immediately called Chu Jianghe.

As soon as the call was connected, Zhao Shizong said excitedly: "Hey, Brother Chu, Landmark has really taken action!"

Chu Jianghe said calmly on the other end of the phone: "Yes, I saw it."

"At this time, the charter king is attending a meeting in Europe. Even after receiving the news, it is not easy to deal with it calmly. Moreover, tomorrow is the weekend. I want to counterattack in a hurry. There will be certain problems in arranging funds on Saturday and Sunday. Land Land This move is truly cruel."

When Zhao Shizong mentioned Land Land's methods, he couldn't help but sigh. He just didn't know how the charter king would respond.

"Shopping malls are like battlefields, and it is understandable that Land should take a preemptive strike."

There is not so much morality in the market. As long as we can win, and on the premise of not breaking the law, no one can criticize Land's actions.

Zhao Shizong nodded. The Zhao family has been doing business for decades and has encountered such dangerous situations frequently.

It's just Landmark's high-profile attitude that makes Zhao Shizong still a little worried: "Brother Chu, I think Landmark seems to be serious. If he really succeeds, our layout for more than half a year will be ruined."

Chu Jianghe comforted him: "Don't worry, our layout for more than half a year has already taken most of the circulating shares. Now there are not many circulating shares on the market. Whoever wants to sell their shares in a short time It is almost impossible to increase it to 49%."

Wharf is a listed company. If you want to control it, you only need to increase your shareholding to 49% to be able to claim absolute control.

Because the acquisition cooperation rules at the time stipulated that if you owned 51% of the equity, you needed to propose a comprehensive acquisition.

If you want to win over 49%, then the other party must be able to completely buy out the remaining shares to have a chance of winning, but this will also involve the terms of a full acquisition.

"I know this. If the charter king doesn't fight and Land Land goes with the flow, won't he regain control of Wharf?" Zhao Shizong thought for a while and then asked the question.

Chu Jianghe smiled and said: "Well, Jardine Matheson Chairman Niu Bijian and Land Managing Director Bao Fuda made a good calculation, but this move is really beautiful. They actively provoked a war, but they can be almost invincible. The chartered king It’s going to be uncomfortable.”

"How?" Zhao Shizong asked.

"Land's initiative to increase purchases is precisely to force the charter king to accept the challenge. I guess the charter king will also see through this."

"They took the initiative and said they would buy it at a price of 100 yuan. You must know that the cost of the Wharf stocks held by Land Land will definitely not exceed 10 yuan. If the charter king challenges, it will inevitably make additional purchases at a price higher than 100 yuan. Ten times the profit means losing control of Wharf, and I’m afraid Land’s shareholders will readily agree.”

"If the charter king refuses to fight, Land retains control of Wharf. In fact, the price they pay is only Land's stock worth 12 yuan. As for the bonds, after maturity, Land can decide to use the high-quality land held by Wharf Then the funds will be transferred back to Land to repay the bonds in the form of cash dividends.”

"So Land's move is really beautiful. If you want to escape from the golden cicada's shell, you can still make a lot of money. It's amazing."

Chu Jianghe also had to be impressed by the methods of Yihe and Land. These foreigners really had a way with this method.

"Since the chartering king can see Land's intentions, how could Land Land be so happy with it?" Zhao Shizong asked rhetorically.

"What is the identity of the Charter King? To put it bluntly, he is a leader in Hong Kong Island's business community. He has been defeated one after another on the board of directors of Wharf. If Land and Land continues to do this, where will his face go?"

Chu Jianghe smiled and continued: "With the character of the Charter King, he will never swallow his anger like this. He will definitely fight with Land and Land to the end. There are some strange and upright methods in business, but at this level, in addition to accepting the challenge in an upright manner, , and other methods are useless. British capital has been dominating Hong Kong Island for too long in recent years. If the charter king can defeat Land and Land head-on, it will be a proud moment for the Chinese businessmen."

Europe, Brussels.

In a luxurious hotel conference room, Bao Yugang was meeting with major shipowners in the world to discuss matters.

During a break in the meeting, Bao Yugang's son-in-law Wu Guangzheng hurriedly found him and whispered a few words into his ear.

Bao Yugang's expression remained unchanged and he asked his assistant to inform the organizer. The group left in a hurry, which surprised the attendees.

Bao Yugang left the venue, got directly into the car, and ordered: "Go to London, and then prepare to return to Hong Kong Island."

Wu Guangzheng hesitated and said: "I will meet with the President of Mexico next Monday. What is the arrangement?"

Bao Yugang's expression remained unchanged and he waved his hand: "Push it away!"

Wu Guangzheng knew Bao Yugang's temper, and even the gods could not bring him back from his decision. Moreover, the incident happened suddenly and his father-in-law was very angry, so he had no choice but to follow Bao Yugang's instructions.

Bao Yugang and his party drove five cars and rushed directly to the airport.

London is the economic center of Europe, and Bao Yugang came to London first to arrange counterattacks.

After Bao Yugang got on the plane and discussed with his subordinates, he finally figured out that Real Estate's move seemed to be an unprepared move, but in fact it was just a scheming move.

One is to conceal the real purpose of Landmark's acquisition of Wharf, and the other is to anger himself and make him make wrong decisions in a state of anger.

After thinking about this clearly, Bao Yugang made up his mind, sat down on the plane and began to close his eyes and meditate.
