Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

The richest man's disdain for his self-confidence and enemies stems from the fact that he is the ancestor of the speculative field these years, and there are many factors that can threaten the Tang family, but it will definitely not be this kind of thieves' tricks.

It is true that Liu Luanxiong succeeded in cutting flesh from two big fish - Lee Shau Kee's China Gas Company and the Kadoorie Family's Grand Hotel Group. Blackmail needs to look like it really is, with the threat of a successful takeover capable of hitting a human weakness.

Take China Gas, the first and only gas production, transportation and supplier in Xiangjiang as an example. Like Xiangjiang Telecom, Xiangjiang Electric, and Zhonghua Power, it is an important part of Xiangjiang’s public utilities and has the nature of monopoly operation. , as long as the structure is set up, the income will be long-lasting and stable, so it has been dominated by British capital for a long time.

In July 1983—when the economic situation of Xiangjiang was restless because of the future of Xiangjiang, Li Zhaoji made a sudden move and took the control of China Gas, making it a subsidiary of Henderson Land.

Lee Shau Kee has a low-key style and is a man who makes a lot of money in silence, so the acquisition of China Gas did not make much noise. It is far inferior to that of Li Bancheng's acquisition of Hutchison, Pao Yugang's acquisition of Wharf, and Tang Huan and Jardine The battle was so violent. Naturally, few media commented on how Lee Shau Kee has grown the ambition of the Chinese people.

After obtaining China Gas, Lee Shau-kee used it as a tool for blood transfusion to the entire group, and successively sold shares to cash out for the recovery of the Xiangjiang real estate industry, which caused the stock price of China Gas to fall. By 1986, it was only 13 Hong Kong dollars per share.

The Huaren Real Estate acquired by Liu Luanxiong holds about 5% of the shares of China Gas. This sharp-eyed stock market sniper naturally thought about it, and quickly transferred this interest to China Entertainment, which he absolutely controlled, through capital operations.

In fact, although Liu Luanxiong took advantage of the infighting between Li Fushu and Feng Bingfen to win Chinese Real Estate and China Entertainment, and started to be regarded as the No. 1 figure, but he still does not have the strength to acquire China Gas. Because if you want to acquire more than 50% of the shares of this target, you can't do it without at least 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash.

Still the same sentence, Liu Luanxiong sold his essence and blood, but he couldn't make up such a large amount of money.

However, Liu Luanxiong, who has not been defeated, has been deified by good people at this stage. With his famous reputation, he is sought after by stock investors as an overturning and omnipotent expert.

Therefore, Li Zhaoji, who got the news, did not dare to take it lightly. After all, Feng Bingfen's lesson from the past is not long in the past. While calmly telling the media that he was not afraid of someone buying China Gas, he secretly used 1 billion in cash to absorb the shares of China Gas that he had given up before, and its stock price soared to 20 Hong Kong dollars soon.

Under such circumstances, Liu Luanxiong's acquisition of China Gas is even more idiotic.

However, Liu Luanxiong doesn't care about the loss of face in acquisition failure. What he really wants is the benefits after the stock price is driven up.

The stock market sniper decisively sold his China Gas shares at a price of 20.2 Hong Kong dollars per share, and left the market in a smart way, once again achieving an undefeated reputation.

As for the other major sufferer, the Grand Hotel Group, it is a common problem of established companies in Xiangjiang that they give people a handle, that is, the owners hold too few shares.

Although the hotel group has long been regarded by the outside world as the assets of the Kadoorie family, the Kadoorie family, which has devoted its energy and resources to CLP Power, is not the largest shareholder of the hotel group.

Since 1977, Liang Zhonghao, the second generation of the Liang Chang family, has become the largest shareholder of the Grand Hotel Group, holding 31 million shares, accounting for 31% of the equity; The situation of the Keswick family, a large British family with only 10% of the shares in Jardine, is very similar.

The Kadoorie family has a gentleman's agreement with Liang Zhonghao. The former operates hotels and related businesses, while the latter operates real estate. The two chairmen of the board of directors take turns.

Although the Kadoorie family's holding of the big hotel group is obviously unstable, and the market value of the big hotel group is lower than the net asset value, it is a coveted prey, but as we all know, the Kadoorie family, one of the few Jewish super-rich in Hong Kong, is not easy to mess with. The so-called acquisition can only be talked about.

In short, those who really have enough strength have many opportunities to make a fortune. There is no need to fight to the death for the big hotel group and the Kadoorie family, and those who are about to make a move lack strength, especially the right time to start.

Liu Luanxiong was one of the latter, and soon had an excellent opportunity to make a move.

It turned out that Liang Zhonghao, the largest shareholder of the hotel group, wanted to fade out.

Liu Luanxiong, who got the news, made a decisive move and took 20 million shares; as for the remaining 11 million shares held by Liang Zhonghao, they were bought by Lin Jianyue, the son of Lai Sun Group founder Lin Baixin, who returned to Hong Kong after graduation and started to participate in the family business.

In this way, the battle for big hotel groups began immediately. The third generation of the Kadoorie family——Michael Kadoorie, was ordered by his father to go to war on horseback.

In fact, the passiveness of the Kadoorie family in this crisis is far more serious than the outside world thinks. The main resources of the Gein Kadoorie family have been invested in the power business, and the control of CLP Power is absolutely reliable, which is far beyond what the big hotel groups can compare. But also because of this, his money is a bit tight, and he lacks the cash that is urgently needed to cope with this sudden change.

Of course, the well-established Kadoorie family also has its own advantages, that is, the excellent goodwill accumulated over the years. This intangible thing is really a priceless treasure.

Because Liu Luanxiong's reputation is so bad, many shareholders of the Grand Hotel Group are worried that this bone dismantling expert will dismantle the high-quality assets of the Grand Hotel Group after joining the board of directors, so they don't like him very much.

As a result, the two alliances of Liu Luanxiong and Lin Jianyue, who own more than 30 million shares, actually support Liu Luanxiong with less than 6 million shares.

In particular, this goodwill further made Michael Kadoorie quickly transfer 100 million US dollars from Tang Huan's foundation in Xiangjiang.

The next thing is simple. The Kadoorie family, who got a respite, desperately sucked in the shares of the big hotel group.

Liu Luanxiong certainly doesn't care about the result of another acquisition failure, and he doesn't want to really pick girls into husbands, speculate in stocks and become shareholders, the ultimate goal of stock market snipers is to successfully extort and cash out talents.

Liu Luanxiong earned more this time, and it is said that he made a profit of 134 million Hong Kong dollars from the Kadoorie family who cut meat to protect the country.

On the other hand, Lin Jianyue, another participant, was a little disappointed. Young and energetic, he originally planned to be a husband and a shareholder so as to show his ability in front of his father, but he clearly had the chance to win, but he couldn't do so in the end.

Li Shau Kee's China Gas Company and the Kadoorie Family's Grand Hotel Group have successively cut flesh from the two big men, and they have become fatter each time. At this stage, Liu Luanxiong, who has deliberately kept a low profile and mysterious to the media, has become more and more mysterious. And God didn't seem to have the intention of letting him accept it as soon as he was good, and gave him another opportunity.

When the task force of the Hong Kong Legislative Bureau held a meeting with the investor of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, it was discovered that 316 steel bars had been leaked from the foundation of the No. 1 reactor of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant.

Although the investors of the Daya Bay nuclear power plant agreed to remedy the situation immediately, some members of the parliament believe that the authorities must strengthen supervision in the future to ensure safety.

You must know that the Daya Bay nuclear power plant project during this period was very topical in Xiangjiang, so it was impossible to stop this matter simply. The Xiangjiang media then began to hype and stir up troubles, so that the two investment companies on the Xiangjiang side ——The stock prices of CLP Power and Heung Kong Electric fluctuated.

It is impossible for CLP Power to have any room for manipulation. Not to mention that the Kadoorie family has become a frightened bird, all kinds of strict defenses, and its control of CLP Power has always been very stable.

Xiangjiang Electric has a little room for possible manipulation, but Qinhe behind it is even more difficult to mess with.

Just as Liu Luanxiong was judging the situation and hesitating, news came from the consortium that supported him, Da Liu, I support you...

As the stock price of Xiangjiang Electric began to fluctuate strangely, the rumors in the market also began to rage.

Therefore, when he saw the big boss's attitude towards this matter was very contemptuous, Ma Shimin reminded: Liu Luanxiong, a bone dismantling expert, is very evil, especially, investors in the stock market support him very much, he is like a head After the wolf howls, other wolves will rush forward. In other words, when a company is attacked by Liu Luanxiong, the speculators it needs to face are often not Liu Luanxiong alone.

You mean, does Liu Luanxiong have the right time, location, and people? Tang Huan raised his hand and clicked on the document that he had thrown on the table just now, On August 8, 1986, Liu Luanxiong's birth The company, Amergo, raised 123 million Hong Kong dollars in cash for its first rights issue; on October 7, China Entertainment raised 527 million Hong Kong dollars in rights issues; before attacking the hotel group, Liu Luanxiong conducted another A round of rights issues with ambiguous results.

To put it bluntly, Liu Luanxiong has lost all moral integrity after such intensive fund-raising operations in a short period of time, and it is difficult to draw blood from the stock market.

In the past two years of stock market speculation, no matter how talented Liu Luanxiong is, 250 million Hong Kong dollars is enough for him to make a lot of money.

Judging from the process of Liu Luanxiong's attack on the hotel group, with his own capital and the support of the consortium behind him, the scale of funds he can use will not exceed HK$3 billion.

This figure is still not up to the first threshold for the acquisition of Xiangjiang Electric - the 35% shareholding required for a comprehensive acquisition. Even with the implicit support of HSBC, we will let the stock price of Xiangjiang Electric stay where it is or even Regress?

Speaking of this, Tang Huan smiled slightly, If I were Liu Luanxiong, I should stop now and concentrate on digesting Chinese real estate and Chinese entertainment internally, instead of continuing to attack everywhere and offending more and more people.

The reason why Liu Luanxiong succeeded many times before was mainly because his vision was accurate, and the target had the problem of unstable holdings. Driven by human weakness, he succumbed to the blackmail of this stock market sniper.

Actually, the key point of this investment model is that instead of deploying troops on the Great Plains and grandiosely confronting each other like Pao Yu-Kang's acquisition of Wharf, it has to be like an assassin, paying attention to a quick formula, a If you get the shot, get out and go. Otherwise, the risk will be uncontrollable.”

Isn't Liu Luanxiong going to buy Heung Kong Electric this time? Then we shouldn't be afraid that the other party will reach 35% of the total shareholding ratio, and rush to spend money on buybacks. We just need to drive up the stock price as much as possible.

Delay for three months in this state to see if Liu Luanxiong can live it? I believe that, except for HSBC, no one should lend him money for nothing. The interest alone is enough for that small body to carry.

Seeing the big boss's eyes flickering coldly, Ma Shimin swallowed his saliva, and said hesitantly: We still have a lot of serious business to do, if we don't solve the battle quickly and continue to stalemate with this little bug, I’m afraid the gain outweighs the loss.”

Tang Huan smiled coldly, If Liu Luanxiong was the only one who came to fight the autumn wind this time, I might be like the bosses of the companies who were attacked before, and fulfill his wish for a quick battle, and then send a sentence of 'wait and see , arrogance is not going to end well', just spend money to buy quiet. But the problem is, now there is a shadow of HSBC behind Liu Luanxiong.

For an existence like HSBC, if it has been conservatively shrunk in its shell, seeking no merit but no faults, then Tang Huan really can only stare blankly. But if HSBC moves, it doesn't matter how much it does or makes mistakes, but the gap is definitely easy to find.

Therefore, when he heard that Liu Luanxiong was going to blackmail Xiangjiang Electric, the richest man acted lazy; but when he heard that there was something about HSBC involved, Tang Huan suddenly became refreshed.

Of course, it is difficult for other people to understand this kind of fighting spirit. Everyone only thinks that the big boss is as intelligent as the sea and unpredictable.

Ma Shimin, who also reacted in the same way, realized after a while that the real target of the big boss was not Liu Luanxiong, who was jumping up and down at the front desk, but HSBC, who was fanning the flames in the background.

Thinking about it, Ma Shimin was taken aback and asked tentatively, Boss, don't you use Xiangjiang Electric as a bait to lure HSBC into a war of attrition for a full-scale acquisition after the 35% shareholding ratio.

Tang Huan waved his hand, Don't worry, even if Xiangjiang Electric is gone, there will be a better position to compensate you.

Seeing that he had guessed right, Ma Shimin couldn't help but feel sad for Liu Luanxiong who got involved. If it really went on like this, this arrogant stock market sniper would definitely end badly. The family property that has been saved with great difficulty will not only be locked up, but will also be sucked dry.
