Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

"Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang."

Looking at the silent Bao Yugang, Lin Baicheng suddenly felt something in his heart and had an idea. He said, "Sheng Bao, I remember you are a director of HSBC, right?"

"Um?"

Bao Yugang was a little confused as to why Lin Baicheng suddenly asked this, but he still nodded: "Yes, I was a director of HSBC a few years ago."

Lin Baicheng asked solemnly: "Then let me ask again, Mr. Bao, do you really want to acquire Wharf and are you willing to pay a certain price for it?"

"Yes, as long as the price is not too high for me to accept!"

Seeing Lin Baicheng's solemn inquiry, Bao Yugang also answered his question solemnly.

"Then what do you think of my suggestion? It depends on whether you can accept it, Mr. Bao."

This is what Lin Baicheng suddenly thought of when he thought about the events before his rebirth. He said: "You should know about Hutchison Whampoa, Mr. Bao, right? It was formed by the merger of the old Hutchison Matheson and Whampoa Dockyard. It is currently owned by the Qi Dezun family. Control. But if the information I heard is correct, the Qi Dezun family only owns about 20% of the shares in Hutchison Whampoa, and HSBC, as the major shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, also owns about 20% of the shares."

“HSBC holds 90 million shares of Hutchison Whampoa, accounting for a total of 22.5%. I don’t know the specific number of shares owned by the Qi Dezun family in Hutchison Whampoa. I can only confirm that it is around 20%, and it is not more than HSBC. There are many banks." Bao Yugang said.

"I hope that Mr. Bao can use his status as a director of HSBC to help persuade HSBC to sell all its shares in Hutchison Whampoa to me, and I will sell my shares in Wharf and Cangjiang Industrial to you, Mr. Bao. This way You can get the best of both worlds, what do you think?"

This is what Lin Baicheng suddenly thought of. Li Jiacheng did this in his previous life, and Lin Baicheng can definitely use it. Although he may not be able to get the strong support of HSBC like Li Jiacheng. Not only did the stock be sold to Li Jiacheng at half price, but he only had to pay 20% of the capital first. But Lin Baicheng now is much richer than Li Jiacheng at that time. He could well afford all the shares held by HSBC.

Lin Baicheng does not need HSBC to give him as much support as it gave Li Jiacheng in his previous life, as long as HSBC is willing to sell Hutchison Whampoa's shares to him.

As for Wharf, Lin Baicheng does not have to acquire it. He can also acquire Hutchison Whampoa. In terms of local industry alone, Hutchison Whampoa is actually better than Wharf, because Hutchison Whampoa can now be said to be the landlord of Xiangjiang, with more land area than Wharf, and the development of the real estate industry in the future will only be more profitable. .

Of course, Hutchison Whampoa once controlled more than 300 companies. Even if there are not that many now, I think there should be more than 100 or 200 companies. It is a pity that the company is broad but not sophisticated.

Moreover, Hutchison Whampoa's predecessor, Hutchison International, also borrowed money to invest. It just happened to encounter the oil crisis a few years ago. The stock market plummeted, and then it went bankrupt. It could only get a capital injection of HK$150 million from HSBC at the selling price, allowing it to HSBC took advantage of the situation and took advantage of it.

The reason why HSBC is said to be taking advantage of the situation is because Hutchison International originally wanted to obtain loans and financing from HSBC. Unexpectedly, HSBC disagreed and had to inject capital into the company. Otherwise, it would not give the money, and the whole world would be in an economic crisis. Ji International could not find any other bank that could lend money except HSBC, so it had no choice but to give it to HSBC.

"Is that so?"

Bao Yugang couldn't help but think after hearing this. Of course he knew about Hutchison Whampoa, and he had thought about it before. After all, as a director of HSBC, he knew that HSBC had a large number of shares in Hutchison Whampoa, and his identity was also unknown. The shares are easily available from HSBC.

However, Bao Yugang finally gave up, mainly because Hutchison Whampoa's business was too complex and the losses were too big. The problem was that there was still a lot of debt, and he could not guarantee that he could run this giant company. If the company does not develop well after the acquisition, it will cost more than one billion Hong Kong dollars.

Wharf is different. It doesn't have as much business as Hutchison Whampoa, but it suits him very well. Therefore, for Bao Yugang, Wharf is actually better.

"In principle I have no problem."

This is a good thing for Bao Yugang. He does not have to spend more money to buy Wharf shares from Lin Baicheng at a premium. "But I'm only a director of HSBC. Whether this matter can be accomplished or not depends on the thoughts of HSBC Chief Executive Shen Chou. I can only say that I will try my best to help bring it together, which will be beneficial to everyone, but I can't guarantee whether it will succeed."

Lin Baicheng said: "This is the best way I can think of that is beneficial to everyone. Otherwise, Mr. Bao, you want to buy Wharf, and I also want to buy Wharf. If we compete with each other, no one will get it in the end."

"What Lin Sheng said is that I will try my best to persuade Mr. Shen."

Bao Yugang also knew that Lin Baicheng's proposal would be beneficial to everyone, so he would naturally do his best. It's just that even if he feels quite confident, he won't make a guarantee.

"But Lin Sheng, when I was discussing with Shen Daban, I also hoped that you could temporarily stop acquiring the shares of Cangjiang Industrial, and at the same time, how about not joining the board of directors of Cangjiang Industrial? Just think of it as giving me Bao Yugang a piece of cake. ."

"Since you said so, Mr. Bao, I will naturally give you face."

Lin Baicheng smiled and agreed. Anyway, he now holds about 20% of the shares of Cangjiang Industrial. It doesn't matter if he doesn't continue the acquisition, just to give Bao Yugang face.

Bao Yugang was very happy that Lin Baicheng could give him face. He smiled and said: "Okay, I will find time to talk to Shen Daban about Hutchison Whampoa shares. I hope the negotiation can be concluded. Lin Sheng, just wait for my news. "

"Then I will wait for the good news that Bao will give birth to you."

Lin Baicheng picked up the teacup and gestured.

Although Lin Baicheng's acquisition of Wharf has gone wrong again due to Li Jiacheng's chicken thief diverting trouble, he might be able to get Hutchison Whampoa as a blessing in disguise. This is a bigger company than Wharf.

Wharf is certainly good, but Hutchison Whampoa is definitely not bad either, at least in Lin Baicheng's opinion.

Lin Baicheng and Bao Yugang chatted for a while before leaving the Peninsula Hotel.

After returning to the company, Lin Baicheng immediately came to Cheng Yufeng and told Cheng Yufeng about the meeting with Bao Yugang in the afternoon. He wanted to hear Cheng Yufeng's opinion.

Although Lin Baicheng didn't think there was anything wrong with his proposal, it was still necessary to listen to other people's opinions. After all, in terms of academic qualifications and abilities, he was actually not as good as someone like Yu Feng.

Of course, Lin Baicheng would not choose to listen to Cheng Yufeng and others. After all, he was a reborn person. Let’s take buying long gold as an example. Cheng Yufeng and others did not recommend Lin Baicheng to do that because they thought the risk was too great. But for the reborn Lin Baicheng, there was no risk at all and it was a sure-profit business. Can you listen to them? Obviously you can't, you have to have your own ideas.
