Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Recently, Xiangjiang's capital market, to use the most appropriate word to describe it, is hot, but at the same time it is a bit weird. [For more exciting novels, please visit www.wuruo.com]

The most popular thing is that Hong Kong Land Company, controlled by the old British foreign firm Jardine Matheson, has become a new super real estate friend, and won the last large area in Central at a price close to HK$5 billion—covering an area of ​​144,000 square meters ft. of commercial land.

As for the intensity of the entire bidding process, according to the media's description, it can be summed up as the participants fighting with their heads broken and the onlookers watching with blood racing.

Before the price reached HK$4.7 billion, several consortiums participated in the competition, but after passing this watershed, it was the decisive battle between Handing and Landmark.

The tit-for-tat confrontation between the two sides even caused several people with a history of hypertension to leave early because they couldn't bear the tense and dignified atmosphere at the scene.

When the price broke through HK$4.9 billion, there was already a lot of grievances before. Handing and Hongkong Land, which can be said to be old rivals, even if they wished to kick each other away, they were obviously cautious and harmonious every time they made an offer. Be conservative.

The dramatic turning point happened after the assistant handed Zhou Mi a document, Handing gave up on following up, and Landmark won.

The chairman of Jardine Niu Bijian and the general manager of Hong Kong Landmark, Bao Fuda, clapped their hands together on the spot. In stark contrast, Zhou Mi walked away with a sullen face.

After being chased by the reporters until he was only one step away from the car door, Zhou Mi finally spoke out, It's too much, if you repeat it again and again, if you don't repeat it again and again, I don't care about my face, but Mr. Tang's dignity cannot be offended.

It can be said that after Zhou Mi gained a foothold in Xiangjiang, his image has always been known for his dull and expressionless face, but this time the reporter caught the vivid side.

The next day, Zhou Mining's glaring photos with beard and hair appeared prominently in major newspapers, and some people regretted his repeated defeats by Jardine. Some people despise it for its lack of grace, but more people are curious, Although you are not convinced and dissatisfied, the matter is over. What else can you do?

Soon, the outside world became aware of Zhou Mi's movements, and he transferred all his deposits in HSBC and Standard Chartered to other banks.

It is said that

Handing has several funds remitted from Europe. It was delayed by the margin of HSBC's rules before, and the failure of the land bidding was related to this.

It is obvious that Zhou Mi no longer has any trust in the two most important British banks in Hong Kong.

This is not over yet. With a large amount of international capital flow, Zheru Xiangjiang Company, relying on its strong industry monopoly position, has no scruples to exclude HSBC and Standard Chartered from the accounting business.

When people exclaimed that the careful revenge came so quickly, he made another weird move and registered a new company. The name is Qinhe, and at the same time, he began to have frequent contacts with various securities firms in Xiangjiang.

Qinhe, wouldn't it be Qinhe——Qinhe's Mandarin homonym, isn't this a company established specifically for the acquisition of Jardine?

Although there have been many rumors before, after Hutchison Whampoa and Wharf have fallen into the hands of Chinese businessmen, the eyes of the Chinese consortium began to focus on Hongkong Land, and even Jardine, but no matter whether it is true or not, there is no such thing as careful action. So obvious.

Just when Zhou Mi didn't make a positive response for a long time, the outside world was guessing lively. Niu Bijian, chairman of Jardine Matheson, could not sit still, and proudly declared in an informal occasion, The so-called acquisition is simply a joke. I made a preventive arrangement as early as the year before last, and Jardine and Hongkong Land cross-shareholding Forty percent, Wharf's careless loss to Jingzhou is impossible to repeat. And everyone will not fail to notice how the market is reacting, the stock prices of Jardine Matheson and Landmark are rising. In other words, they Solid as gold.

Speaking of which. Niu Bijian continued to break the news, Landmark plans to invest a total of 8 billion Hong Kong dollars to build the new land king in Central.

To Niu Bijian's self-satisfaction, Zhou Mi just responded coldly, We'll see!

With such a sharp point of view, the entire Xiangjiang River began to boil. Gein Zhoumi was not talking empty words. He received the Morgan Stanley team from the United States with a very high standard, obviously recruiting world-class professional fighters.

Founded in 1973, it is a very authoritative Chinese newspaper of financial news in Hong Kong, Xin Bao. The analysis of this has attracted the attention of a large number of non-professional and lively people, making them ponder over the newspaper. to understand the entanglement between the two consortiums.

Obviously, Tang Huan, who made his fortune in the United States, is trying to establish a closer relationship with the local economic circles in Xiangjiang through active industrial investment.

This is naturally a good thing for Xiangjiang. But unfortunately, Jardine is also interested in the target he takes a fancy to every time.

In fact, this is not surprising. After all, resources are limited, and the probability that the two capital tycoons have the same idea is very high.

But the problem is, as Zhou Mi said, the occasional competition can be explained by coincidence, but such intensive fighting is not so simple.

The most probable reason is that Jardine is eager to restore its leading position in Xiangjiang through heavyweight investment, so it is naturally eager to find a Chinese businessman to stage a show of killing chickens for monkeys to watch.

Unfortunately, Tang Huan's Handing Company ran into him head-on, and rounds of fierce fighting began.

It can be said that up to now, Jardine has always got what it wanted, and it has always stepped on Han Ding, which can be described as majestic.

But don't forget that Handing is not an ordinary company with a Chinese background. Its boss, Tang Huanneng, is not trivial. At the end of last year, he spent a huge amount of US$10 billion to acquire the California subsidiary of AT\u0026T.

According to this inference, under ordinary circumstances, it is not difficult for Tang Huan to mobilize billions of dollars of funds at one time. The more than 4 billion Hong Kong dollars gradually accumulated under the name of Han Ding is a clear proof.

In addition, this point also shows in disguise that Tang Huan has the financial support of a Middle Eastern funder and a large family in Europe, and his credibility is very high.

As Zhou Mi mentioned, My face doesn't matter, but Mr. Tang's dignity cannot be offended. I'm afraid Jardine really made Tang Huan angry this time.

In the wrath of a common man, two corpses are laid down, and the blood splatters five steps; in the anger of the emperor, a million corpses are laid down, bleeding and drifting across the oars.

And Zhou Mi's current actions showed that Tang Huan, the richest Chinese man. It's officially at war with Jardine.

Looking back, the other side of the war, the chairman of Jardine Niu Bijian, declared that it is impregnable. Is it really easy to sit back and relax.

As early as September 5, 1980, Jardine exchanged assets worth HK$1.195 billion in exchange for about 64 million new shares issued by Hongkong Land. The assets transferred include 50% interest in Causeway Bay World Trade Center and 33 million Wheelock A shares.

After the transaction is completed. Jardine's stake in Hongkong Land increased to 27.8%, becoming a major shareholder of Hongkong Land.

On October 29 of the same year, Jardine announced the issuance of 25 million new shares to Hongkong Land, and received approximately HK$760 million in cash from Hongkong Land. Prior to this, Hongkong Land has purchased 5% of Jardine's issued share capital from the stock market.

Later on November 3, Jardine used cash to purchase 78 million shares of Hongkong Land in the stock market, increasing its shareholding in Hongkong Land to about 40%.

By the end of 1980, Jardine announced that Jardine and its subsidiary, Jardine Securities, had held 40% of Hongkong Land; and Hongkong also held about 38% of Jardine. Formed a serial boat structure.

It can be said that this strategy is the most eye-catching and controversial big move since the chairman of Jardine Niubijian took office.

By occupying a large amount of funds, Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land hold about 40% of each other's shares. The control rights of the two companies can indeed be said to be solid.

During the same period of time, gossip that once circulated in private that the Chinese-funded consortium acquired Jardine and Landmark, and the smoke disappeared, is enough to show that this serial boat structure is indeed very powerful.

If Tang Huan with strong financial resources is the sharpest spear. Then the scheming Jardine is the strongest shield.

Theoretically, if Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land are left alone, Tang Huan can indeed acquire 51% of the shares of either of the two companies from the market. Seize the control, and buy one get one free, no matter which one of Jardine and Landmark is won, the other will also be in the pocket at the same time.

But theories are just theories after all, and Jardine and Landmark are now in debt. It may not be cost-effective to buy it at an exorbitant price.

Therefore, although the battle between Tang Huan and Yihe has escalated into an all-out war, the bosses will always sit down to make peace when they are calm.

For example, Jardine, who has learned how powerful the richest Chinese man is, handed over the control of Heung Kong Telephone or Heung Kong Electric that he had previously fought for, and gave Tang Huan a step down, thus ending this capital war.

Of course, before that, the stock prices of Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land will definitely fluctuate drastically, and this may be an operational opportunity for those who are willing to work hard in the stock market.

Most of the new readers of Letter are newspapers bought for this conclusion.

Hong Kong is a small place where speculation prevails, the officially licensed horse races, and various private financial companies...all of them to some extent testify to such a universal social psychology, and even the reflections in film and television works are more direct. Some.

The analysis of this report by Eastern Economic Daily is a bit grandiose, and it guides everyone in the direction of investment and financial management, but in fact it still inevitably has a hint of speculation.

The reaction in the stock market is that the stock prices of Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land continued to rise, and the trading volume also increased.

These two companies have a large plate, and they can naturally meet the needs of many participants in the stock market. Even Jardine affiliated companies like Dairy Milk International are among the stocks that have risen.

Of course, on the surface, it seemed that Jardine was as stable as Mount Tai, while Tang Huan was destined to face a very difficult test of operating skills.

...

When Tang Huan was inspecting work in Japan, he noticed that the movie Shaolin Temple came here, and the posters and other promotions could be easily seen.

This reminded Tang Huan that in the original time and space, the box office performance of Shaolin Temple was not only a blockbuster in Xiangjiang, but also performed well in Japan. to 20 million.

In Tang Huan's view, the reason why it is so popular is naturally determined by the quality of the movie itself. Many exciting fighting scenes are almost completely expressed in one go through long shots.

This kind of simple but sincere style really gives people a bright feeling, but it also caters to the taste adjustment needs of everyone watching movies nowadays.

Another big boost is that the release of Shaolin Temple in Japan was completely handed over to Toho. This Japanese landowner, for his own money bag, naturally has to spare no effort to operate.

The same is true in the United States. Huamei Entertainment obtained the authorization of Shaolin Temple almost for free, and when it was distributed through United Artists' channels, the subordinates were full of enthusiasm.

Street Fighter on Gein Xiaobawang's arcade platform is sweeping across the United States. Needless to say, the monks among them are popular, and Shaolin Temple just borrows the wind.

According to United Artists estimates, it shouldn't be a big problem to get a box office of 10 million US dollars.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this business was a waste of money.

In fact, according to European and American movie viewing standards, Shaolin Temple is a so-called cult movie, that is, a movie that is only loved and respected by supporters in a small circle, and it can also be called a non-mainstream movie or an alternative movie. Movie.

It's the kind of film that typically struggles to find massive box office success outside of small circles. It's not strictly a genre of film, nor is it a style of film.

Because of the different regions, the definition of cult is very difficult to draw conclusions.

For example, martial arts films in Chinese-speaking cultural areas are listed as mainstream films in the local area, and have widely and successfully obtained commercial interests, but they are regarded as cult in European and American areas.

Although there have been many rumors before, after Hutchison Whampoa and Wharf have fallen into the hands of Chinese businessmen, the eyes of the Chinese consortium began to focus on Hongkong Land, and even Jardine, but no matter whether it is true or not, there is no such thing as careful action. So obvious.

Just when Zhou Mi did not give a positive response and the outside world was full of speculation, Niu Bijian, the chairman of Jardine Hebei, couldn't sit still, and declared triumphantly in an informal setting, The so-called acquisition is simply a joke. A preventive arrangement was made the year before last, with Jardine and Landmark cross-holding 40% of the shares. Wharf’s careless loss to Jingzhou is impossible to repeat. And everyone will not fail to notice how the current market reacts , the stock prices of Jardine Matheson and Landmark are rising. (To be continued.)
