Chapter 452: During the Acquisition
Nan Yi shook his head and hung up the phone. After receiving the news that Zhao Shixian had successfully swept 110,000 shares, he and Masami Ueto went to the guest room in the castle to rest.
At this time, Catherine was sleeping comfortably, so Nanyi stopped disturbing her.
Changsheng Fund, a fund that has just been established, is not well-known among the citizens of Hong Kong. It can be said that it is still unknown.
But it cannot be ignored because of its behind-the-scenes boss Li Tongban.
In 1977, Hutchison and Whampoa merged to become Hutchison Whampoa. Although Hutchison Whampoa controlled more than 300 companies, the newly formed Hutchison Whampoa still maintained losses.
While losing money, it has many high-quality assets at the same time. Such a company will naturally arouse the covetousness of Hong Kong Huazi, and Li Tongban, who had already risen at that time, was naturally among them.
Since then, Li Tongban has been thinking about it. He never fights uncertain battles. If he wants to make an acquisition, he must first have a very capable acquisition team. To buy the bottom, so he set up a fund management company - Copper Plate Fund.
The gap between Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa is too large, with assets only one-tenth of Hutchison Whampoa's. It would be too blatant to buy Hutchison Whampoa directly, and it would easily cause Hutchison Whampoa's hostility, and it would also have other negative effects.
With the skin of the copper plate fund, it is much easier to handle.
After Hutchison Whampoa was settled, the copper plate fund was naturally exposed, so it went into hibernation, and rumors of this fund were rarely heard.
After Li Tongban launched several funds, Changsheng Fund is one of them.
This operation of adding layers of shells is similar to Nanyi's method, except that Nanyi does it more thoroughly and hides himself deeper.
It's not that Li Tongban can't hide it, but that he can't hide it, because he needs to grasp some invisible things, and he needs to hold the pipa to half-hide his face, so that those who need to know know that these funds belong to him, and he doesn't need to know. He is ambiguous in front of many people, neither admitting nor denying.
For example, Kangcheng Yingni, it is impossible that only Li Tongban knows its value. It holds hundreds of thousands of square meters of land in Hung Hom. This is publicly disclosed news.
Not to mention the rich, even the ordinary citizens of Hong Kong can find out.
But why in Xiangtang only Li Tongban is playing with it, while other rich people turn a blind eye to him?
This is because most of the wealth of the rich in Xiangxi comes from real estate. It can be said that the rich in the top position are commercial competitors, but they do not fight to the death. Instead, they sit down and discuss things.
Compromise with each other, limit the struggle within a certain range, do not magnify it, and share the real estate cakes of Xiangxi together peacefully, with millions of leeks.
I didn't kill your father, and you didn't seduce my wife. We are all farmers who cut leeks. There is no fundamental conflict of interest. We meet at the beginning of each year to discuss who will cut which land and when.
It is stipulated that as long as everyone does not cross the line, everyone will be able to overflow at the end of the year.
If you observe carefully, you can find that the land auctions in the Mansion have never seen sky-high prices, and the prices will be controlled within a certain range, which will neither embarrass the mansion nor make the bidders sell their iron.
If there is a sky-high price at any time, it means that a shit-stirring stick appears, and other real estate developers have a tacit understanding to join forces to deal with this shit-stirring stick.
The same is true for the opening of real estate. Several big real estate developers will not get together to open, and there will be a time difference. Especially for real estate with serious homogeneity, the time will be even more staggered.
In this way, it is clear that Kangcheng Yingni belongs to Li Tongban's target, and other rich people in Hong Kong will not jump out to disrupt the situation.
It is also because of this that Li Tongban's fund can only be half-hidden, which is why it is easy for people in Nanyi to find out that Li Tongban is the boss behind the Changsheng Fund.
As for the secret, as long as the second person knows it, the third and fourth will soon follow.
Li Tongban has a long-term vision, and because he is a watch repairer, there are many spare parts in a watch. To disassemble a watch and put it back together, because the spare parts are very small, the whole process needs to be operated with tweezers. I don’t have enough patience. Can't do this job.
Therefore, Li Tongban's patience is very good, and the way he treats Kangcheng Yingni is like installing a clock, slowly install it, take it little by little, and take it down with the smallest price.
When Qilin Company jumped out, he didn't pay attention to it, he just thought it was an autumn wind, but when PY Securities jumped out and made such a big move, he knew that things were not so simple.
One morning, Zhao Shixian received 110,000 shares and pushed the stock price up to 5.6 yuan, which disrupted Li Tongban's position. He wanted to talk to the people behind the scenes to see what the other party was up to.
...
Nanyi slept until eleven o'clock and got up at 11 o'clock, ran a few kilometers on Catherine's treadmill, and immediately became energetic.
After eating the breakfast made by the maid, Nan Yi sat in the study and read a book.
Today and tomorrow, Nanyi will not go to Longmenzhen, leaving a little room for the people in the store to make mistakes. He wants to see whether the store can operate normally without him, and also wants to see if there is anyone he has missed.
Catherine arrived in Hong Kong at midnight on June 7, Hong Kong time, and the staff of the Intelligence Policy Committee picked her up at the airport and arranged her in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
After resting and getting up at nine o'clock, Catherine went to Chawick Bout's appointment. Before Feixiang, she had already contacted Chawick and made an appointment to meet.
There is no swordsmanship, open and secret fighting between Catherine and Chavik.
Fortunately, although the issue of Xiangfang is still under negotiation, but the Prophet of the Spring River Plumbing Duck, the Bute family has connections in Downing Street, and Chadwick has already heard about the attitude of the Eagle State Cabinet towards Xiangfang. He plans to sell his property in Hong Kong and return to London, but everything has not yet started.
The arrival of Catherine is good news for Chadwick. For Chadwick, who is still bathed in the "empire on which the sun never sets" and is unwilling to wake up, it is a good idea to sell his Hong Kong assets to Chinese businessmen at a "fair price". It's hard for him to accept.
Catherine, an aristocrat from the Eagle Kingdom, Chavek met a tearful fellow, and was willing to "premium", which is easier to talk about.
As soon as the two parties met, Catherine explained her intentions, and Chavek had already made up her mind to sell. The two parties spent more time bargaining there, and finally settled on a 25% premium over yesterday's closing price of HK$5.6.
This is just a private agreement. If you want to transfer the shares, you need the consent of other shareholders, especially the consent of Swire Pacific. If Swire Pacific does not nod, this transaction will not be completed at all.
"The Bute family is easy to deal with, but Taikoo Foreign Firm is difficult." Nan Yi sighed after receiving the news that Catherine had taken care of the Bute family.
Among the four major foreign firms in Hong Kong, Taikoo, Jardine, Hutchison, and Wheelock, Hutchison and Whampoa have become sisters, and they have long gone to serve Li Tongban together.
Wheelock had already been attacked by the Bao family in the 1960s and took away two pieces of fat. When the Bao family came ashore, he even bit Wheelock in his mouth and waited to swallow it slowly. It will not be long. will eat clean.
As for Jardine, in the early years, it was looking for a way out, attacking everywhere, investing and setting up branch companies in many countries, but luck was not good, most of these companies were losing money, and Jardine's vitality was seriously damaged.
This also made Jardine a target. Anyone who needs good news can yell "Leeks, I'm going to do Jardine, cheer me up." As long as you do Jardine and achieve a small result, the company's stock price will rise It's been tried and tested repeatedly.
Only Taikoo is doing things steadily and carefully. The foreign bank has sufficient cash flow and has always been operating with low debt. The debt ratio does not exceed 20%. The valuation of others is the theoretical value. , but at least 40% of its valuation can be cashed out in Swire's accounts.
It has no sign of quitting Hong Kong at all, and is developing in a low-key manner. Such a big foreign company usually does not hear much news about it, whether it is positive or negative.
"President, it shouldn't be too difficult. It's nothing more than increasing the premium. I believe that raising the purchase price to 150% will make the Sweiyar family very tempted."
"A 50% premium may not satisfy them, so prepare for a 100% premium."
For Taikoo, Nanyi has no good solution, and some low-level methods cannot be used. Enterprises with high cash flow are not so easy to mess with. If you really want to fight against it, Nanyi is more likely to suffer.
Fortunately, Nan Yi analyzed Taikoo's information, and Taikoo did not hoard land on a large scale. Perhaps the high premium would allow the Shihuaiya family to sell the shares of Kangcheng Yingni.
It doesn't matter if you don't make a move, as long as you don't get in the way, so that Catherine can get the shares of the Bout family smoothly.
"100%, we will have to pay more than 15 million Hong Kong dollars. This amount may not be considered by the Shi Huaiya family."
"I know, let's wait and see, everything is limited to the scope of commercial operations. Today is almost the same, go to bed early, there is no need to wait for news." Nan Yi said, sorting out the documents on the table, and The desk lamp is turned off.
