Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Lawrence Kadoorie looked at Ji Wei sternly, and said with a sneer: "If you want my equity, you are just dreaming. Even if you take away the company's management rights, don't try to take my equity."

After speaking, Lawrence Kadoorie looked at Liang Zhonghao. Instead of looking at each other for a moment, he said inexplicably, "Mr. Liang, I deeply regret your family's choice, and I hope you will not regret your choice!"

Liang Zhonghao smiled bluntly and said, "Mr. Kadoorie, it is difficult to explain business matters. Since we have made a decision, of course we will not regret it."

"However, Mr. Kadoorie, I suggest you transfer your equity to Mr. Ji. It's better than having other struggles."

Ji Wei smiled and persuaded: "Mr. Kadoorie, Mr. Liang's words are very pertinent. Those who do great things will never act on their own volition and will only choose the most favorable direction."

Lawrence Kadoorie couldn't help laughing, and his heart was burning with anger.

It was ridiculous for two young people to tell him big truths in front of him!

It was obvious that he was the victim, and the profiteer in front of him was hypocritically showing a good face for him, which was really disgusting to him.

He snorted coldly, got up and prepared to leave, and said firmly: "Even if my equity is sold to anyone, it will not be sold to you, you will never get it!"

After speaking, Lawrence Kadoorie walked away.

Just as Lawrence Kadoorie was about to walk out of the door of the conference room, Ji Wei whispered behind him: "Mr. Kadoorie, why bother, even if you don't agree, the board of directors can still approve the private placement of shares, you can't resist it! "

Hearing this, Lawrence Kadoorie's blood rushed to his head, and blue veins burst out on his face.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and left without looking back, disappearing from the sight of Ji Wei and Liang Zhonghaolai.

"It seems that Lawrence Kadoorie chose to fight hard. Ji Sheng, our Liang family has done our best." Liang Zhonghao sighed regretfully, as if he was blaming himself for not being able to help Ji Wei.

Ji Wei smiled and said, "Liang Sheng, don't mind, you have helped us a lot. We will remember this favor, and I will report to the chairman."

Hearing this, Liang Zhonghao's eyes flashed with joy.

This is all in Ji Wei's eyes,

He smiled secretly, proud of his background, and then continued: "Liang Sheng, I still need your help next, to complete the privatization of the company, and to issue additional shares privately. You also need your help."

Liang Zhonghao hurriedly said with a smile: "This is what I should do. It's not too late. Let's come up with a plan today and hold another board meeting tomorrow?"

"That's the best way!" Ji Wei laughed.

Regardless of whether the equity held by Lawrence Kadoorie is sold or not, after taking control of the board of directors, there are ways to deal with him. The easiest way is to issue private placements, which can be implemented as long as half of the board of directors votes.

At that time, it only needs to be privately issued to Jiuding Hotel Management Group, and he can buy it at a low price.

With the issuance of additional shares, Lawrence Kadoorie's shareholding ratio will naturally be diluted and reduced.

Of course others will be diluted as well.

However, the Liang family has signed a secret agreement with Xia Yu, and it doesn't matter how much equity is there. Anyway, after the final privatization, the company will be split according to assets. Judging from the current situation, after the split, Jiuding Hotel Management Group still needs to make up for it.

It’s the same after making up first and then making up. Anyway, the Liang family won’t have any losses, and they can help Xia Yu and reduce the accidental risk of Roland Kadoorie’s counterattack. Why not do it!

...

What happened in the Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group in the morning was inevitably spread, and everyone who heard the news was dumbfounded, as if they couldn't believe what they heard.

The Peninsula Hotel is the pearl of Heung Kong Shanghu Hotel Group and one of the top ten hotels in the world. It has a huge influence and has been run by the Kadoorie family since 1890.

Even though the shareholding ratio of the Kadoorie family is not high, the outside world has always regarded it as the diamond on the crown of the Kadoorie family, symbolizing the honor of the Kadoorie family.

However, it was such a company that completely changed in one morning. Without the outside world's knowledge, the management rights were taken away by the emerging Jiuding Hotel Management Group. Lawrence Kadoorie from the chairman of the board of directors. The position was easily driven down, this is simply the biggest joke today!

How not to surprise the outside world?

Whether it's bigwigs or people who eat melons, they all feel dreamy about it.

The one who responded the most, apart from the Kadoorie family, was Norman Shi Yahuai.

After hearing this news, he could not calm down for a long time, and when he felt sad for Lawrence Kadoorie, his inner vigilance also reached its peak.

Then, he immediately called the Kadoorie family and made an appointment with Lawrence Kadoorie to find out the specific situation.

Lawrence Kadoorie just wanted to ask for help, and after receiving a call from Norman Shi Yahuai, he left without saying a word.

It is unknown what the two talked about.

Xia Yu was not interested either.

After all, in the face of absolute strength, any trick is useless!

After listening to Ji Wei's report, Xia Yu immediately instructed Ji Wei to hold his order and let the companies under the consortium help to acquire the equity of those minority shareholders, and at the same time assist the privatization of Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group.

If it was said before, those small shareholders were reluctant to sell their shares.

However, after experiencing a change of scenery today, these small shareholders already know that the situation is difficult to defy, and choosing to take the money and leave to escape the whirlpool is the best way.

Therefore, when several companies entrusted by Ji Wei found the minority shareholders, they easily won the equity.

By the end of the afternoon, four minority shareholders had been taken over, and a total of 9.7% of the shares had been acquired.

Jiuding Hotel Management Group's shareholding soared to 29.9 percent.

If you count the 5.7% stake held by Standard Chartered Bank, which has not yet revealed its position, the position of the largest shareholder has actually changed.

Moreover, the joint shareholding ratio of the Jiuding Consortium and the two companies has reached 66.6%, and only 0.1% of the equity can reach two-thirds. No one can stop the will of the Jiuding Consortium. Well, not even at all!

In the early morning of the next day, the media gathered at the entrance of Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group, and a new board of directors was being held inside.

It is a pity that this time Lawrence Kadoorie directly refused to participate.

But it doesn't matter, as long as more than two-thirds of the audience is present, it's OK.

At the meeting, the new chairman Ji Wei came up with an agreement to issue additional shares, which was passed without any suspense.

The original share capital of the group was 100 million shares, and 20 million additional shares were privately issued again. The designated target for the additional issuance was Jiuding Bank, which was issued at a price of 12 yuan per share, which was lower than the stock price of 14 yuan, and raised 240 million Hong Kong dollars at one time. for the company's expansion.

So far, the total share capital of the group has expanded to 120 million shares, and Jiuding Hotel Management Group holds 29.9 million shares, reducing the shareholding ratio to 24.9%.

The Liang family holds 31 million shares, accounting for 25.83% of the company's equity, and is still the largest shareholder.

The third largest shareholder is Jiuding Bank, with a shareholding ratio of 16.67%.

The original third largest shareholder, the Kadoorie family with a shareholding ratio of 16.7%, was reduced to 13.9% and became the fourth largest shareholder.

The shareholding ratio of other small shareholders is also diluted, and they have no resistance and can only passively accept it.

As a result, even if Standard Chartered Bank is not counted, just Jiuding Hotel Management Group, Jiuding Bank and the Liang Family, the three parties' combined shareholding ratio is 67.4%, accounting for two-thirds of the company's stock. above.

At this point, Ji Wei took advantage of the victory to pursue, and held another board meeting in the afternoon, proposing that the company should be delisted and split, and the proposal should be approved again.

Then, in the name of the company, it applied to the exchange for suspension and delisting, and to prepare for the next spin-off, a standard accounting firm settled in and began to calculate assets.

This set of salacious operations was carried out coherently, and the people who were eating melons outside were stunned.

What followed was a pity for the Kadoorie family.

The Kadoorie family is completely powerless to fight back, and they are left to be kneaded. After all, they are the largest British-owned family in Hong Kong, and they have been cleaned up so easily after so long?

The discerning person can already see that the Kadoorie family has no way out. Although the current shareholding ratio is 13.9%, who knows if it will drop again tomorrow?

The board of directors is controlled by the Jiuding Consortium, and when it goes public, it will issue additional shares to dilute the equity. After privatization, it will be worth it. The big wealthy Jiuding Bank can dilute the equity time and time again. Anyway, the money is transferred from one account to another. As long as the Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group does not use it, the money is kept in Jiuding Bank.

Over and over again, as long as the shareholding ratio of the Kadoorie family falls below ten percent, then the Jiuding Consortium can launch compulsory acquisition measures, and the equity held by the Kadoorie family must be sold even if it is not sold! The only difference is who the Kadoorie family finds to take over to attract hatred.

But it is conceivable that at that time, no one should dare to take the risk of offending the Jiuding Consortium, even the Taikoo Consortium would not do so, because it is just a little more struggle after taking over.

Although Lawrence Kadoorie did not participate in the board of directors, he has been in the Shi Yahuai family, but he has been paying close attention. When he heard the news, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, his face flushed, and he cursed Ji Wei, Liang Zhonghao and others for being shameless.

After scolding, he slumped on the stool and had to accept this cruel reality.

"Laurence, things have reached this level, it seems that you can only compromise."

Norman Shi Yahuai, who was sitting beside him, sighed and said comfortingly.

Lawrence Kadoorie slowly raised his head to look at Norman Shi Yahuai, and said in a hoarse voice: "Norman, the reason why this happened is because of the equity of Hong Kong Telephone Company, because of this, I have suffered a huge amount of money. Loss, what do you say?"

After speaking, Lawrence Kadoorie stared at Norman Shi Yahuai.
