Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

As soon as the news spread that Bao Yugang's purchase of additional Wharf warehouses was completed, those who were waiting to see the excitement were disappointed.

One of the two parties is Land, owned by Jardine Matheson, one of the four major British consortiums, and the other is Bao Yugang, who is the world's shipping king and one of the top ten richest people in the world. No matter which one of the two parties, they stomped on Hong Kong Island and shook the three. Lord.

I originally thought that the two sides would use Wharf as the battlefield, and there would be a big battle to watch, but I didn't expect that the war would end quietly just as it started.

It took less than half an hour to complete the purchase of 2000 million additional shares, with an average of 66 shares purchased per minute. This efficiency is jaw-dropping.

Many people marveled at Pao Yugang's thunderbolt methods. Let alone anything else, he was able to mobilize 22 billion Hong Kong dollars in just two days over the weekend. It was not something ordinary people could do. Pao Yugang's energy was unparalleled. fear.

In fact, after Yugang Bao announced the additional purchase plan, Yugang Bao received many calls from various parties, all of whom expressed support for his purchase of Wharf.

Of course, it was more of a secret arrangement by Jardine Matheson and Land. The big brokerage houses and agency companies called one after another to sell their Wharf stocks.

But what they didn't expect was that they originally promised to make a lot of profits, but when they were preparing to trade the next morning, they changed their words and said that they had completed the additional purchases and would no longer accept stocks from other people.

According to the original historical trajectory, Bao Yugang's purchase of additional Wharf warehouses was also completed in a short period of time, but most of them were secretly entrusted by Land to be sold to him by others.

Before Land announced its plan to purchase more Wharf, it held about 2300 million shares of Wharf, but after Pao completed the purchase, it only held 1300 million shares.

That is to say, Land sold a total of 1000 million shares and cashed out about HK$10.5 billion. Based on the cost of their shareholding, the profit was at least about HK$9 million.

Now that Chu Jianghe and Zhao Shizong have disrupted the situation, Real Estate's wishful thinking has come to nothing.

Land lost control of Wharf, and was unable to liquidate its stocks at a high level. Their careful calculation fell short at the last step, and the plan completely failed.

After all the hard work and planning, in the end it was all in vain.

After hearing the news that Pao Yugang completed the additional purchase plan, Jardine Matheson Chairman Niu Bikin and Land Managing Director Pau Fuda also looked incredulous, wondering where there was something wrong with their plan.

It is said that New Bijian and Bao Fuda had a big quarrel in the office because of this incident and broke up unhappy.

Bao Yugang was also very happy when he heard the news at the Hilton Hotel.

Isn't it nice to hear the enemy jump in haste because of you?

The more he thought about it, the more fortunate he became. Fortunately, this time it was Zhao Shizong who had Wharf's stocks, allowing him to control Wharf without any danger.

If he rashly starts to increase purchases, there is no guarantee that New Bijian and Bao Fuda will not take advantage of the loophole. At that time, the funds he raised will be given to his opponents in vain. He does not care about the money. The main thing is that if this matter is spread, his face will be There is no light.

Bao Yugang is now chatting with his son-in-law Wu Guangzheng in the hotel with a relaxed look.

"Guangzheng, didn't I ask you to find out why Zhao Shizong has so many Wharf stocks in his hands? Is there any news?"

Wu Guangzheng said: "Father, he was unwilling to tell me at first. After a long time of hard work, he told me the truth. He said that he had already laid out plans for Wharf half a year ago and used multiple accounts to secretly acquire Wharf. stock."

Bao Yugang asked curiously: "Have you made the plan half a year ago? Does he have so much funds?"

Six months ago, Wharf's stock price was more than 30 yuan, and later it rose to a high of about 50 yuan. 2000 million shares would require a capital of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Wu Guangzheng reminded: "Father, you have forgotten that he took advantage of the war in Afghanistan to make a huge fortune in oil futures. This time he also acted with a man named Chu. That man's name is Chu Jianghe, and he seems to be with Their families are still related.”

"Chu Jianghe? Are you still related to the Zhao family?" Bao Yugang is not a forgetful person. He remembered the young man he had met at the banquet organized by the Huo family before. Mr. Huo was also very fond of him at that time. I also gave a few compliments casually.

The young man was neither humble nor arrogant, and he spoke well. Even in front of people like them, he was not timid and looked confident, which left a very deep impression on him.

Bao Yugang murmured to himself: "So it's him."

Wu Guangzheng was also a little surprised: "Father, do you know him?"

Bao Yugang glanced at his son-in-law, saying that he still valued this son-in-law very much. He smiled and explained: "We met once at the Huo family's banquet. He is a good young man."

After saying that, he briefly told Wu Guangzheng about Chu Jianghe's deeds. Mr. Huo had solemnly introduced them to them at the beginning, focusing on Chu Jianghe's actions in the financial market. He was a capable young man.

"Then it seems that Chu Jianghe was behind Zhao Shizong's actions during this period."

Wu Guangzheng knew Zhao Shizong very well. Zhao Shizong was well-known and had some strength, but he had just set up the Wharf warehouse half a year in advance. He didn't believe that Zhao Shizong had the courage and courage to do so.

Bao Yugang nodded and said: "Yes, it seems that this young man Chu Jianghe is indeed not simple. No wonder Mr. Huo is so optimistic about him. Guangzheng, please contact Chu Jianghe and say that I want to meet him."

"You went to see him in person? Isn't this inappropriate?"

Bao Yugang thought for a while, and it was indeed a bit abrupt to meet him rashly.

At this time, Yihe was watching his every move. If he went to see Chu Jianghe at this time, he might cause trouble to the young man.

Bao Yugang said: "There is indeed something inappropriate. Let's do this. You contact him and tell him that I want to have a phone call with him."

Bao Yugang was very curious about Chu Jianghe and wanted to talk to him.

Wu Guangzheng said: "Okay, I will contact you right now."

Chu Jianghe spent the past few days in the hospital with his wife and children, and was indifferent to the news outside. After talking about the Wharf matters with Zhao Shizong, he handed them all over to him.

When he received Bao Yugang's call, he was a little surprised, but Chu Jianghe still respected this legendary figure very much.

"Hello, Mr. Bao, I am Chu Jianghe."

Bao Yugang laughed on the other end of the phone: "Mr. Chu, I would like to thank you for your help in the Wharf incident. I will remember this."

For this young man whom he had met once, Bao Yugang did not look down upon him, but instead gave him considerable respect.

Chu Jianghe was somewhat proud of having the Charter King personally promise to owe him a favor. Not everyone could make the Charter King owe him a favor.

"Mr. Bao's words are serious. I just happened to meet the opportunity. I believe that even without me, Landmark would not be Mr. Bao's opponent. Mr. Bao can defeat Landmark head-on. This move can be said to have greatly enhanced the prestige of our Chinese businessmen and can contribute to this matter." A force, I will certainly do my part.”

Chu Jianghe's words scratched Bao Yugang's itch, and he laughed heartily: "It seems that Mr. Chu is also an interesting person. Let's have tea together when we have time."
