I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Chapter 466 [Landland drinking milk II]

The eldest son Wu Xianshuo called back from the United States to ask Wu Guangyao for his opinion;

It turned out that Wu Xianshuo was already a senior student, and he wanted to find an internship job to practice.

"Waiter, do you want to do it?" Wu Guangyao said directly.

"What? Dad, did you say something wrong? I'm a student of Harvard Business School. You asked me to be a waiter?" Wu Xianshuo became anxious, and his tone became louder.

According to the assumption, Wu Xianshuo wanted to be an administrative trainee in a five-star hotel;

If the conditions are even better, I want to learn from the general manager of the hotel;

Unexpectedly, Lao Dou directly asked himself to be a waiter, how could he accept this!

"Do you think waiters are easy to do? You know, these waiters are in contact with all kinds of people and things every day, and they communicate directly with customers; many sudden emergencies, they are the first-hand people to deal with things. Think about it , if it were you, can you do well?"

"But."

Hearing that his son was still hesitating, Wu Guangyao continued: "If you want to be a waiter, there are two conditions that others don't have:

First, you know that this is just a temporary job, and you know that you will get a higher position soon, unlike others who don't know if there is a possibility of promotion in the future;

Second, you are a great talent, and now I want to use you in a small way; if you can't do well in this way, then doesn't "overkill and small use" have another meaning?

Think about it carefully, and give me a call when you figure it out! "

Just when Wu Guangyao was about to hang up the phone, Wu Xianshuo hurriedly said, "Don't, don't hang up! Dad, I'm going to practice as a waiter, and I promise to be a good waiter; if I can't do well, I will be a waiter for the rest of my life."

Wu Guangyao said happily: "Good job! I'll have someone notify you to go to work later, and you are not allowed to reveal your identity, do you understand?"

After hanging up the phone, Wu Guangyao directly contacted Charles in the United States.

"Remember, don't disclose this matter except you and the general manager of the hotel. I will inspect the hotel later."

"Don't worry, boss, I'll arrange it!"

Landmark, Taipan Office.

"Henry Taipan, the milk company's public stock is difficult to buy!" New Bijian said to his immediate boss Henry Keswick.

"What? It's hard to buy?" Henry Keswick asked in disbelief.

No wonder Henry Keswick made a fuss. It was only five days after he decided to buy the shares of the Milk Company in the public market, and he was told that the shares of a cattle raising company were difficult to buy.

This reality is hard to accept!

"Is it because you are afraid that people will learn that we are quietly buying the shares of the Milk Company, so you dare not make too much of a move?" Henry Keswick quickly thought of the reason and said.

"There are some! But I always feel that the milk company's shares are very concentrated, and the public shares are very few!" Niu Bijian expressed his worry!

"Impossible! If it is very concentrated, Zhou Xinian will not easily become the chairman, and easily turn a British-funded company into a Chinese-funded company." Henry said firmly.

Niu Bijian hesitated for a moment, but still said: "It's really not possible, let's act more aggressively, and don't worry about being discovered and affecting the stock price."

Henry Keswick nodded, that's really all he could do.

On November 11, 1970, the Hong Kong stock market.

The milk company's stock inexplicably rose by 9 Hong Kong dollars to close at 78 Hong Kong dollars;

The stock of Hongkong Land also climbed to a new record of 54 Hong Kong dollars.

After the stock market closed, Liu Yu hurriedly found Wu Guangyao and reported the situation!

"You mean, someone is making a large-scale acquisition of the milk company's stock?" Wu Guangyao asked knowingly.

Liu Yu nodded, and said firmly: "The milk company has not made any big moves recently, but the stock has risen by 13% in a single day. It is obvious that someone is making a large-scale acquisition!"

Wu Guangyao asked again: "How much did Landmark's stock appreciate today?"

Liu Yu immediately replied: "The premium is 4 Hong Kong dollars, and the market closes at 54 Hong Kong dollars! Hey, what does the boss mean?"

Wu Guangyao smiled and said, "What I mean is what you think! Don't think too much, don't do too much, just watch the show first!"

After listening to Wu Guangyao's words, Liu Yu reminded: "But we only have 28% of the shares in our hands. Will it be unsafe? If Sir Zhou Xinian owns less than 15% of the shares, then we are not safe!"

Wu Guangyao waved his hand and said, "It's exciting like this, what do you think!"

Liu Yu was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized, no wonder some time ago, the boss suddenly stopped the acquisition of many stocks;

Liu Yu once thought that the boss was afraid of being criticized, so he ordered all stocks to only guarantee the red line of 28%.

Of course, Wu Guangyao was afraid that the impact would be bad, so the stocks he bought were not concentrated, but were dispersed using multiple accounts of Everbright Securities;

Generally speaking, to quietly acquire 20% of a company's shares, you need to disclose your intention;

At this time, the Hong Kong Island Securities Law is still incomplete, and only 30% must be disclosed. This kind of law naturally favors British capital;

If Wu Guangyao hadn't appeared, in this era, only British capitals would acquire Chinese capitals, and Chinese capitals would take over 70 years to acquire British capitals!

In his previous life, when Wu Guangyao read the records about Hong Kong Island, he described that in the 1960s and 1970s, British capital acquired Chinese companies with a 100% winning rate and never missed;

It is conceivable how small the capital strength of the Chinese at that time was!

November 12, morning.

Wu Guangyao deliberately asked his staff to buy most of the newspapers in Hong Kong for him. After a quick browse, he discovered an interesting thing;

That is, so many media have not reported any abnormalities in the stock of the milk company;

The media in this era is too slow to respond;

If this happened after the 1980s, it would be absolutely unbelievable!

Since March 1969, Hong Kong Island has added another stock exchange, the Gold and Silver Society, and the stock market on Hong Kong Island has been "riding a bull" and getting better;

In August 1967, the Hang Seng Index was 58 points;

In December 1968, the Hang Seng Index was 115.55 points, and the annual transaction volume was 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars;

In December 1969, the Hang Seng Index was 175.60 points, and the annual transaction volume was 3 billion Hong Kong dollars;

In October 1970, the Hang Seng Index was 205.50 points. In May of this year, affected by the United States’ invasion of Cambodia, profit-taking was once taken, and it began to rise in September.

These data show that Hong Kong Island's stock market has been in full swing in the past two years, with active trading;

Therefore, the media and stockholders all thought that the sharp rise of the milk company's stock was the general trend, and they naturally ignored the abnormal fluctuations in the small market (individual stocks).

The reason why Liu Yu discovered it was because this stock was part of Wu Guangyao's plan, so he naturally wanted to keep an eye on it, and would tell Wu Guangyao if there was any abnormality.

Wu Guangyao fell into deep thought after reading the newspaper. Today is Thursday, and there is another trading day tomorrow;

If this week, Hongda's attempt is still not discovered, it is obvious that Landland has gone too smoothly!

So Wu Guangyao called Shen Baoxing and asked him to come over.

After more than 30 minutes, Shen Baoxing hurried to Wu Guangyao's office.

"Sit down and drink some water!"

"thank you boss!"

After a while, Wu Guangyao said: "Look for a securities reporter to report. The stock of the Milk Company was abnormal yesterday! The Milk Company rose by 9 Hong Kong dollars for no reason. Let me ask the company's securities reporter to analyze it carefully, and then report it through the radio and evening papers. Spread the word, and tomorrow's morning paper will also report it."

Shen Baoxing took the lead. He didn't know much about securities, but since the boss told him, he just recruited.
