Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Not even two days have passed since Lin Baicheng acquired Hutchison Whampoa and became the largest shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, another big news shocked Hong Kong.

Shipping king Bao Yugang is already acquiring shares in Wharf, and Jardine Matheson Land is also increasing its holdings in Wharf. The two are competing for control of Wharf.

This is the shipping king Bao Yugang. He is the world's shipping king and the current richest man in Hong Kong. In terms of influence, he is definitely not comparable to the current Lin Baicheng. Therefore, after seeing media reports that Bao Yugang acquired Wharf, people's attention to Wharf We are very confident in the development and believe that Bao Yugang's entry into Wharf will bring better development to Wharf.

Therefore, after seeing the news, investors immediately joined in buying Wharf stocks.

Bao Yugang and Land are also buying. One wants to hold more shares, and the other wants to increase his holdings to maintain control. The result is that the stock price skyrockets, exceeding 20 Hong Kong dollars per share in half an hour.

This price is already higher than the price at which Lin Baicheng sold it to Bao Yugang at 20 Hong Kong dollars per share, and it is conceivable that this is definitely not the highest price for Wharf. It will be a matter of time before it breaks through 30 Hong Kong dollars per share and 40 Hong Kong dollars per share.

From this point of view, it is certain that Lin Baicheng made a loss.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. If Lin Baicheng doesn't want to take over Hutchison Whampoa or Wharf and keeps holding Wharf's shares, then he can make quick money. But the problem is, with Hutchison Whampoa here and a lot of land, he can make more money in the long run, rather than short-term profits of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

Seeing the soaring stock price of Wharf, Lin Baicheng not only had no regrets, but was very happy. Fortunately, he had played a trick and 'swindled' a large number of stocks out of the hands of retail investors before the Qi Dezun family could react, and paid 20% A sufficient number of shares were purchased at a premium.

Looking at the current Wharf, Bao Yugang now needs more than a 20% premium to buy stocks. It is hard to say whether a 200% premium can acquire enough shares.

It seems that the sudden appearance of this news is related to Lin Baicheng, because Lin Baicheng suddenly bought all the shares of Hutchison Whampoa from HSBC, and then increased his shareholding to about 40% in a short period of time, becoming the largest shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa. This led to Hutchison Whampoa changing hands.

This matter spread all over Hong Kong, and everyone, whether British or Chinese, knew about it, including Jardine Matheson and Matheson. New Bijian immediately asked Jardine Matheson to take stock of the holdings of its subsidiaries, among which Wharf and Land were the left and right arms. This is the focus of Jardine Matheson.

Jardine Matheson holds about 33% of the shares of Land, so there is no need to worry about the control of Land. If someone really wants to acquire Land, Jardine Matheson can increase its holdings in Land in a large amount in a short period of time, and it will soon be The shareholding ratio increased to more than 40%.

As for Wharf, it is controlled by Jardine Matheson through Land. Land only holds 18% of Wharf's shares, less than 20%. This investigation made New Bijian a little worried. You must know that the Qi Dezun family also almost held these shares in Hutchison Whampoa, and then Hutchison Whampoa was acquired by Lin Baicheng. Therefore, Nuo Bijian checked through his connections and found that Bao Yugang had recently acquired shares in Wharf.

Niu Bijian did not know how many Wharf shares Bao Yugang held, but since Bao Yugang was already acquiring Wharf shares, he was obviously preparing to acquire Wharf, and he probably already held a lot of shares. Therefore, Niu Bijian Bijian immediately chose to mobilize funds to increase his stake.

Bao Yugang was buying Wharf stocks, and Niu Bijian was also buying Wharf stocks. How could such news be kept hidden? Although neither of them publicized it, the news still spread, and then the news spread. Then it became a battle between Bao Yugang and Land for control of Wharf.

However, this news is indeed true. Bao Yugang really wants to acquire Wharf, and Land really wants to retain control of Wharf. The two are indeed competing for control of Wharf.

No matter how Bao Yugang dealt with Lin Baicheng, he was not prepared to participate in this Wharf takeover battle. Instead of transferring some funds to make some money, it is better to increase Hutchison Whampoa's holdings to 49.9%. This is truly foolproof.

Lin Baicheng took his sisters Lin Shufang and Lin Qin to Central for shopping.

Central is the political and economic center and high-end shopping and business district of Hong Kong. There are countless financial and banking institutions, various restaurants and brand fashion stores in Central. It is the favorite shopping place for tourists and locals in Hong Kong.

Especially since it is still the 1970s, the heyday of Central, before some institutions and people were forced to move to Sheung Wan, Admiralty, Wan Chai and other places because of its small area, so it is even more lively.

Lin Baicheng brought Lin Shufang and Lin Qin here for shopping. Although the Lin family is now rich, and Lin Baicheng also gave them one million Hong Kong dollars each to spend, they didn't spend much money. They didn't have the same mentality as before. Transformed.

At the same time, Lin Baicheng was also planning to choose a gift for the whole family. He had never bought good things for his family since he became rich, so this time he chose it together.

For his elder brother, Lin Baicheng, he bought two jade Buddha amulets, the kind that hang around his neck. Originally, he wanted to buy a better one, but Lin Shufang said that if the ones he bought were too good, his parents would not dare to wear them for fear of damage, so he chose The price is tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

In fact, jade Buddha amulets worth tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars in this era are already quite expensive, but compared with Lin Baicheng's net worth, they seem very cheap.

For his sister Lin Shufang and sister Lin Qin, Lin Baicheng gave each of them a ladies' watch, rings and necklaces, etc. It would be better for them to buy them themselves or for their future boyfriends to give them to them.

In fact, the price of famous watches is not cheap. Lin Baicheng bought one for himself, and then bought a ladies' watch and asked the store to package it.

"Brother, who are you giving this watch to?"

Lin Qin couldn't help but ask when she saw it. She knew it was definitely not for her mother.

"You will know this when the time comes."

Lin Baicheng smiled and did not answer.

"It must be for the girl you like, right?"

Lin Qin snorted lightly, feeling that her guess was definitely not wrong.

Lin Shufang immediately said after hearing this: "Brother, do you have a girl you like? Who is it? Remember to bring her home so that my parents and I can meet her."

"Sister, don't listen to my nonsense. If I really give a gift to the girl I like, it will be a ring and a necklace, not a watch."

Lin Baicheng was a little dumbfounded. He really didn't buy it for the girl he liked, but for a friend whose birthday was coming soon. This was a birthday gift he bought for each other, and the price was not expensive, not as good as the watches the three of them were wearing now.
