Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

"This is the situation. Now I want to hear your opinions. You can think about it and digest it first."

After leaving the Peninsula Hotel, Lin Baicheng came over to the Galaxy Financial Building and called all the assistants working here to the conference room.

Then, Lin Baicheng told his assistants about his conversation with Shi Yadi Shihuaiya.

Of course, Lin Baicheng gave his assistants some time to think.

"Mr. Lin, congratulations. The British capital represented by Mr. Shi Huaiya took the initiative to talk to you about this matter. That means they are unwilling to carry on anymore. This is a disguised form of bowing to you."

After a moment, Qin Lan congratulated and flattered her without leaving any trace.

"It's not that simple to ask British capital to bow its head."

Lin Baicheng waved his hand. Although he said so, the raised corners of his mouth showed that he liked Qin Lan's words.

After a moment, Lan Meifang said: "Mr. Lin, this is a good thing. In any case, British capital has withdrawn from the Hong Kong Electric Group, so it will not be so easy to target the Hong Kong Electric Group in the future. The Hong Kong Electric Group will start to do something." I won’t be as timid as I am now, and everyone in the company can do things boldly with confidence, which is conducive to the development of the company.”

"yes."

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly, and everyone could see this.

Qin Lan followed: "I think the British capital's proposal can be accepted, whether it is to acquire shares or acquiesce to them to increase the stock price, as long as they can leave the Hong Kong Electric Group. As for the British capital's attack on the Hong Kong Electric Group a few days ago, You can find opportunities to retaliate in the future, don’t rush it.”

"Mr. Lin, I also think Yingzi's proposal can be adopted, but we can also make demands. After all, Yingzi took the initiative to talk to you. They should be more eager."

After the two superiors talked, Yi Tianren expressed his views aloud and showed his presence.

Lin Baicheng nodded and looked at the only female assistant in the conference room who had not yet spoken, Zhao Ju.

Of course there are more than just them in the secretariat, but Chen Zhixiong took an assistant and several secretaries to South Korea, and assistants went to other companies that were connected to him. Lin Baicheng came here temporarily, so he didn't let the assistants who were not here go there specially. came back.

"Mr. Lin, I think you can refuse Yingzi's proposal."

Zhao Ju said: "The British capital and you are in a hostile relationship after all. The reason why they are now shareholders of Hong Kong Electric Group is because they wanted to compete with you for the control of Hong Kong Electric Group. Although they have to bow their heads now I mean, I want to sell my shares and leave HK Electric Group, but this does not mean that British capital will cease after leaving."

"That's a no-brainer."

Qin Lan said aloud.

Zhao Ju looked at the boss Lin Baicheng and said solemnly: "So I think that instead of letting the British capital sell the shares and collect funds, continue to make trouble elsewhere, and cause trouble for other companies under your name, it is better to let The British capital is trapped in Hong Kong Electric Group, so we should use Hong Kong Electric Group as a target to avoid affecting the development of other companies."

"British capital owns a lot of shares in HK Electric. I believe that if they want to cause trouble, their first target will be HK Electric and they will not look for other companies, unless something happens to another company and the British capital sees an opportunity. "

Zhao Ju's words surprised Lin Baicheng, but if you think about it carefully, it is not unreasonable.

Again, the relationship between Lin Baicheng and Ying Zi will not stop intersecting after Ying Zi leaves HK Electric Group. Unsurprisingly, Ying Zi will continue to cause trouble for Lin Baicheng in the future.

If the British capital can successfully leave Hong Kong Electric Group and recover nearly 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, the British capital will have more capital to cause trouble. At the same time, Lin Baicheng has many companies under his name, and it will be troublesome to defend. After all, as the defender, he cannot be sure Which company will British capital attack?

Unlike now, a large amount of British capital is trapped in HK Electric. Once British capital causes trouble, the target will undoubtedly choose HK Electric.

"Assistant Zhao's words are not unreasonable, what do you think?"

Lin Baicheng looked at the others, wanting to hear their opinions again.

Qin Lan and others did not answer immediately, but began to ponder, and Lin Baicheng did not rush.

After the small meeting, Qin Lan said: "Mr. Lin, I still think that British capital should be allowed to leave HK Electric Group. What Xiao Zhao said does make some sense, but British capital obviously wants to withdraw from HK Electric Group. If we don't agree , British capital will definitely continue to cause trouble, and it will get worse."

"Qin Chu, we can't accept the British capital's proposal just because of this. No matter what, the British capital is our enemy."

Zhao Ju couldn't help but retort after hearing this.

Qin Lan was not angry after being rebutted, but said: "Yes, British capital is our enemy. I do not deny this, nor do I think that letting British capital leave HK Electric Group will change the relationship between the two parties. However, we One thing needs to be clear, that is, who is the master of the city of Xiangjiang? Lin is always very strong, but no matter how strong he is, he cannot be stronger than British capital."

"The most important point is that it is better to make money by being friendly in the shopping mall. Fighting against British capital at any cost will not do Mr. Lin any good."

"It's not a bad thing to be able to maintain peace with the British capital, even if it's just a temporary peace."

After saying that, seeing Lin Baicheng thoughtful, Qin Lan continued: "Furthermore, since this year, the outside world has been clamoring about the future ownership of Xiangjiang. The mainland and Britain will definitely start negotiations on the ownership of Xiangjiang, and the time will not go wrong. It’s just in these few years, it won’t take too long.”

"Once the two countries negotiate and decide that Xiangjiang will return, it will be completely different."

"Even if Xiangjiang does not return immediately, because the return has been confirmed, British capital will definitely withdraw from Xiangjiang, and the power of British capital will inevitably be weakened. Then it will be much easier for you to choose to deal with British capital than it is now."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this. Others didn't know it, but he knew very well that China and Britain started formal negotiations on the ownership of Hong Kong in 1982. After more than two years and dozens of rounds of negotiations, it was finally decided at the end of 1984. .

Needless to say, the final result is that the return of Xiangjiang is an integral part of China.

It is now September 1980, which means that in four years at most, Lin Baicheng will no longer be as afraid of British capital as he is now.

And it is very likely that it will not take four years. Negotiations started in 1982. If the negotiations do not go smoothly, British capital will flee from Hong Kong, and the stock and real estate markets will plummet. By then, British capital will be too busy to take care of themselves and have no time to care about others.

"What you said makes sense. I have decided to accept Yingzi's proposal and temporarily reconcile with Yingzi."

From Lin Baicheng's point of view, time is on his side. There is no need for him to fight Yingzi out of anger. After a few years, when he no longer has to worry about Yingzi, it will not be too late to find a way to retaliate.

Seeing Lin Baicheng make a decision, even Zhao Ju, who had different opinions, didn't say anything. They were just assistants and could provide opinions to the big boss, but after the big boss made a decision, what they had to do was follow the order instead of trying to Convince big bosses to listen to them.

Lan Meifang asked: "Mr. Lin, the British investment proposal is to acquire shares and cooperate with them to increase the stock price. What do you decide to do?"

"What do you think?"

Lin Baicheng asked back.

"Mr. Lin, with your current shareholding ratio, if you acquire 20% of the shares held by British investors, you can launch a comprehensive acquisition of HK Electric Group and delist HK Electric Group."

"However, Hong Kong Electric Group currently has more than 7 billion Hong Kong dollars. You have to spend at least 4 billion Hong Kong dollars to fully acquire Hong Kong Electric Group."

"This is still a case where the British capital is willing to sell the shares to you at a low price. If the British capital is unwilling to sell the shares at the current stock price, you will only have to spend more money. In the end, even 5 billion Hong Kong dollars will not be enough." impossible."

"Although you have a lot of funds on hand, using more than one billion US dollars to delist and privatize Hong Kong Electric Group is not a good choice from the perspective of maximizing investment."

Lan Meifang expressed her opinion.

Lin Baicheng said: "Then do you think it would be better to let the British capital raise the stock price and sell the shares?"

"Yes."

Lan Meifang nodded: "If nothing else, after the stock price of HK Electric Group is raised, it will not only be good for the goodwill of HK Electric Group itself, but also be beneficial to the issuance of bonds by HK Electric Group when necessary. You If you need funds, you can pledge the shares of Hong Kong Electric Group to get more funds."

"And there is another advantage. When the stock price rises, most investors can make money. This is also good for your reputation, Mr. Lin."

Qin Lan added that she obviously did not agree with the delisting and privatization of Hong Kong Electric Group after acquiring the British capital's shares. She was more in favor of raising the stock price and allowing the British capital to sell its shares.

"Are you sure investors can make money after the stock price rises?"

Looking at Qin Lan, Lin Baicheng couldn't help but sneered.

"Mr. Lin, did I say anything wrong?"

Qin Lan felt uneasy, and she knew that Lin Baicheng's attitude was not a sign of approval for her.

"British capital raises the stock price in order to ship goods, to sell the stocks in its hands, and to find a taker. When the British capital sells the stock and investors take over the stock price at a high level, the stock price will definitely fall, and they will lose money at that time. There will only be more investors.”

When Lin Baicheng said this, he thought of himself before rebirth. Before his rebirth, he was just an ordinary office worker, and he was also a small leek in the big A-share market. His dream of getting rich when he entered the stock market turned into a helpless sigh after a few years.

Lin Baicheng has done this kind of thing at high positions before. If he hadn't decisively chosen to leave the market several times, his funds would have been locked up in a certain stock.

"I am the controlling shareholder of Hong Kong Electric Group. If there are too many investors who lose money on Hong Kong Electric Group's stock, and all of them suffer heavy losses, then I will be the only one who gets scolded, not those who have sold all their shares. of British capital.”

"Mr. Lin, I didn't think carefully."

Qin Lan admitted her mistake and did not defend herself.

"If I want to buy the shares of HK Electric Group held by British capital, what price do you think is more appropriate? The price must be acceptable to British capital, but it cannot be too high, at least it cannot exceed what HK Electric Group should actually have. price."

Lin Baicheng already had a general idea, that is, to find someone to buy the shares of Hong Kong Electric Group held by British investors. This would not only solve the problem, but also prevent these shares from flowing into the stock market and causing large fluctuations in the stock price.

Qin Lan heard this and said: "Mr. Lin, we need to ask the team to check this."

Lin Baicheng looked at his watch after hearing this: "Can you give me the results before six o'clock?"

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Qin Lan looked at her watch. There was still more than an hour until six o'clock, which was enough.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to report to me."

Lin Baicheng said, stood up and left the conference room.

After Lin Baicheng left, Qin Lan said to several people in the conference room: "You have also heard what Mr. Lin just said. First, estimate the current actual value of Hong Kong Electric Group. Combined with the company's actual situation and the Hang Seng Index market, at six o'clock There must be results beforehand, so keep me busy."

"yes!"

The big boss ordered that no one dared to neglect.

The secretariat has the information of each enterprise under Lin Baicheng's name, and it will be updated every once in a while, thus saving time in collecting information.

Under the busyness of the assistants and more secretaries, in less than an hour, the secretariat compiled a report, which was then reported to Lin Baicheng by the director Qin Lan.

"Sit down first."

Lin Baicheng motioned Qin Lan to sit down opposite, and then read the report.

In the statistical calculation of the Secretariat, the value of HK Electric Group is not calculated when British capital holds shares in HK Electric Group.

In terms of the stock market, the Hang Seng Index is generally upward this year, and the market conditions are good.

Under such circumstances, the stock price of Hong Kong Electric Group has adjusted downwards, not only because of the excessive early increase, but also because of the battle between Lin Baicheng, the controlling shareholder, and British capital, and the large investment of Hong Kong Electric Group in building a factory in Shekou.

Eliminate the biggest negative factor of the fight between British capital and Lin Baicheng.

Hong Kong Electric Group, which had a net profit of HK$415 million last year, will have higher profits this year than last year due to line upgrades and rising electricity costs. This can be seen from the semi-annual report for the first half of this year.

The key point is that the income from electricity bills is very stable, and residents and units that use electricity must pay monthly.

Stable income and large cash flow give Hong Kong Electric Group a higher premium valuation.

Furthermore, Hong Kong Electric Group's capital increase and share expansion happened this year. Although the capital increase and share expansion caused the stock price to fall, it made the company's assets larger and the company itself became richer.

Therefore, the actual value of HK Electric Group should be around HK$8.5 billion.

Since HK Electric Group is a listed company, it is normal for the stock price of listed companies to fluctuate, so the actual value is between HK$8 billion and HK$9 billion, which is very reasonable within this range.

The current share price of HK Electric Group is less than HK$5, and the total market value is less than HK$7.5 billion, which is slightly undervalued.

The lower the stock price goes, the lower the price-to-earnings ratio, and the greater the premium space.

This market value is already quite good. You must know that when Lin Baicheng first acquired the Hong Kong Electric Group, the market value of the Hong Kong Electric Group was almost HK$5 billion. Now it is more than 1.5 times that of the original.

Lin Baicheng had read the relevant information of HK Electric Group a few days ago, so Lin Baicheng did not read the relevant data of HK Electric Group attached to the report. He mainly looked at the secretariat's calculation of the actual value of HK Electric Group and the acquisition of British Electric Group. A budget for the funds required for investors to hold shares.
