Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Jianing Group.

In the conference room.

Qin Lan and Wei Li each brought people here, and they came here today to transfer shares.

The other party to the transfer is naturally HSBC and the British capital that HSBC helped to connect.

Chen Songqing said aloud: "Guys, if you think there is no problem with this transfer contract, just sign it yourself."

Qin Lan responded: "We have no problem."

They had read the contract just now and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the contract. Then Wei Li signed and sealed it, and Qin Lan also sealed it with the chairman's seal he brought. This kind of transaction or business involving hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars does not have the direct decision-making power of Wei Li, and it still needs the approval of Chairman Lin Baicheng.

"Me too."

The British capital side also signed their respective signatures.

In addition to HSBC, the British investors who took over the shares this time include Jardine Matheson, Swire Group and the Kadoorie family. Among them, HSBC led the investment and bought the largest number of shares. Of course, whether it was HSBC or the other three companies, Shen Cong and the chairmen of the other three companies did not come in person, but sent their men over to conduct transactions.

Chen Songqing then read the contracts on both sides, and after confirming that they were both signed and sealed, he said: "There is no problem with the contract. I welcome several of you to become shareholders of Jia Ning in the future. Jia Ning will definitely live up to their expectations and turn Jia Ning Group into a good company." Develop and grow." The following words were naturally addressed to several British representatives.

Wei Li reminded aloud: "Guys, the funds for transferring the shares must be transferred to the account given to you by Hutchison Whampoa within a week."

"Don't worry Taipan, the funds will arrive on time."

Someone immediately responded that this was agreed in advance, and there were relevant clauses in the contract. If the transaction price was not paid on time, they would have to pay liquidated damages.

"It better be so!"

Qin Lan and others did not stay long. After confirming that the transaction was completed, they got up and left.

"Director Qin, I'm going back to Hutchison. You should be preparing to report to Mr. Lin, right?"

After leaving Jianing Group, Wei Li and Qin Lan were about to separate.

"right."

Qin Lan nodded: "Wei Li, supervisor, do you have anything you need me to report to Mr. Lin on your behalf?"

"I just want to ask, how does Mr. Lin plan to deal with Jianing's Chen Songqing?"

Wei Li sounded out to test. He didn't think Lin Baicheng would do nothing after selling his shares. After all, his boss didn't seem to be the kind of weak person who could be bullied.

"It seems that Taipan has also guessed it."

Qin Lan was not surprised when he heard this. He thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Lin hasn't told me how to deal with Chen Songqing yet. He just said that he already has a way. He will tell me after the share transaction is completed. I will report it later, Lin Maybe you can tell me what to do."

"So this is ah."

Wei Li nodded and said immediately: "If Mr. Lin has any use for me, please just ask Mr. Lin and I will definitely do it."

"I will convey it to Mr. Lin."

Qin Lan glanced at Wei Li and knew that Wei Li was showing his loyalty.

In the current career of big boss Lin Baicheng, as far as Xiangjiang is concerned, most of the company's senior executives are Chinese, especially their secretariats, which are all Chinese. In this way, the few white executives such as Wei Li are very conspicuous. At the same time, it is difficult to integrate into the circle of Chinese senior executives like them, and for their own status, they must perform more in front of the big boss.

If possible, Chinese executives do not want white executives such as Wei Li to be reused, because there are only so many positions, and the reuse of Wei Li and others will definitely affect their interests.

Furthermore, one is white and the other is yellow in terms of skin color. In addition, Hong Kong has always been dominated by the British. Many white people have always looked down on Chinese people. As a result, it is difficult for Chinese executives to have a favorable impression of white executives.

Qin Lan is also reluctant to see senior executives such as Wei Li being reused, but she knows that she is just the director of the secretariat who assists the big boss in handling various corporate affairs. Her influence is somewhat limited, but at least it cannot affect someone like Wei Li. She is a 'Frontier Official', so she will not get into trouble with Wei Li.

"Thank you, Director Qin."

Wei Li thanked him with a smile on his face.

"You're welcome, Taipan."

Qin Lan smiled and left with the people.

Qin Lan left and went directly to Changsheng Pharmaceutical and Biological Company.

After reading the annual report, Lin Baicheng came to work in this company and continued last year's research and development. Because of the US election, he went to the United States for a while, and he didn't do any research and development work for almost two months.

As soon as he finished what he was doing, Lin Baicheng returned to the laboratory to continue his research and development.

After Qin Lan arrived at Changsheng Pharmaceutical and Biological Company, she waited for a while and went to see Lin Baicheng during his break.

"Mr. Lin."

"Director Qin is here."

Lin Baicheng motioned to Qin Lan to sit down by himself.

Qin Lan sat down and reported: "Mr. Lin, Hutchison Whampoa has signed a share transfer contract with the Jianing Group. If nothing unexpected happens, the funds should be received within a week."

"Okay, no matter what, Hutchison still made a lot of money from Jia Ning."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. He was very clear about the specific transaction price of the shares this time.

After the last financing of the Carining Group, because HSBC became a shareholder of the Carining Group, Hutchison Whampoa's shares were diluted, leaving only 25.62% of the shares. This time they were all sold at once.

The specific transaction price refers to the closing price of Jiani Group on the day the transfer was confirmed a year ago, which is a market value of HK$28.5.

After negotiations, under Lin Baicheng's signal, Hutchison Whampoa did not take any time to bargain, but took a step back and closed the deal at a price of HK$692 million, which was almost a 95% discount.

The transaction price of nearly 700 million Hong Kong dollars is not low, at least Hutchison Whampoa can accept it.

In August 1979, Hutchison Whampoa sold the Golden Gate Building to the Carnegie Group for HK$1.03 billion, receiving HK$600 million in cash and 31.27% of the shares of the Carnegie Group. After listing and financing, the remaining 25.62% of the shares were retained.

In other words, shares worth HK$430 million in August 1979 were sold for HK$692 million in February 1981. In almost a year and a half, Hutchison Whampoa made a profit of HK$262 million, a profit of more than 60%.

"This is all thanks to Mr. Lin's outstanding vision."

Qin Lan was half sincere and half flattering.

"Then it will only be possible with excellent executors like you."

Lin Baicheng said something, and then changed the subject: "Now that the share transfer has been completed, although the transfer funds have not yet arrived, there are some things you can do first."

"Mr. Lin, please tell me."

Qin Lan knew that the big boss was going to deal with the Jianing Group.

Lin Baicheng looked at Qin Lan and said, "Please make arrangements and find someone to secretly investigate the finances of Jianing Group. There must be problems with Jianing Group's finances, and the problems are huge. I need you to arrange for people to get the evidence."

"Mr. Lin, Jianing Group has financial problems. How is this possible?"

Qin Lan exclaimed, then reacted and immediately explained: "Mr. Lin, I don't doubt you, but I really can't believe that Chen Songqing would be so bold and dare to make financial fraud. You know, Jianing Group has been so bold in the past two years. But one of the most high-profile bull stocks in Hong Kong has a market value of nearly HK$3 billion, and I don’t know how many investors have bought its shares.”

"Nothing is impossible in this world, as long as the benefits are sufficient."

Lin Baicheng waved his hands indifferently and said: "Although I know about this, I have no evidence. Now that Hutchison Whampoa has sold shares of Jiani Group, even if I say that Jiani Group has financial problems, Chen Songqing will also He will not admit it. At the same time, HSBC and the British capital, which have just taken over the shares, will definitely support him. Therefore, I need to get conclusive evidence and expose it directly through the media. Even if the British capital wants to suppress it, it will not be possible."

Qin Lan calmed down the shock a little and replied: "Mr. Lin, I will arrange for someone to do this."

Lin Baicheng looked at her and said: "This time Chen Songqing is siding with the British capital. I know that many people in the outside world must be watching my joke, so I want to teach Chen Songqing an unforgettable lesson. Therefore, I don't want this matter to drag on for too long. .”

This is the main reason why Lin Baicheng decided to detonate the Jianing Group's thunder in advance. He believes that the historical changes brought about by this should not be too big, not only in Hong Kong, not to mention the entire world.

"I understand, Mr. Lin." Qin Lan responded to express her understanding.

Lin Baicheng reminded: "Chen Songqing must not be the only person who is aware of Jianing Group's financial fraud. There must be people inside the company cooperating with Chen Songqing, especially the financial department. Therefore, when you ask someone to investigate, be careful, lest the evidence is not found, but instead It's a warning to the enemy."

"No, Mr. Lin, please feel free to worry about this."

Qin Lan immediately promised that she was not stupid and would definitely discuss the specific plan with everyone in the secretariat. And even without consulting other people, she could guess that Chen Songqing had an accomplice.

"correct."

Nodding, Lin Baicheng suddenly remembered: "As for Yum Securities, please remember to contact us in advance and let Yum Securities quietly make a short-selling arrangement on the Jiali Group first to see how much money is appropriate for short-selling. Remember, Don’t use too much funds, don’t make it known to everyone, do you understand?”

"I understand what you mean, and I will inform Manager An." Qin Lan nodded in response.

Lin Baicheng said calmly: "Then I will wait for your good news. I hope you can present the true financial report of Jianing Group to me as soon as possible."

"I will definitely not disappoint Mr. Lin."

Qin Lan responded solemnly, sitting in her current position, she must successfully complete every task assigned by the big boss. It's okay if she fails once, and there is still a chance if she fails twice, but if she fails three times, even if her previous feelings are there, it will be difficult for her to sit in this position again.

Therefore, every time Lin Baicheng assigned a task, Qin Lan would go all out and urge the secretariat to complete it together, so as not to disappoint Lin Baicheng, the big boss.

"If there's nothing else, go ahead and do your work."

After waving his hand, Lin Baicheng ended his rest and continued his research and development work after Qin Lan left.

If there are major changes in the company's shareholders, as a listed company, it must be announced to the public.

Therefore, on the afternoon of the day when the share transfer was completed, Jianing Group announced the news.

Because it is a transfer between major shareholders, rather than a reduction of holdings through the secondary market, the share transfer has no impact on the share price of Jianning Group.

However, Chen Songqing is a man who knows how to get things done. He used this to create hype, saying that HSBC and major British capitals were very optimistic about the Carining Group, so they took over the company's shares from Hutchison Whampoa. In order to prove what he said, he even stated that Jiani Group had received a large loan from HSBC, and this loan would continue to be invested in Jiani Group's main real estate business.

Taking advantage of this good news, Chen Songqing and British investors drove up the company's stock price, causing the total market value of Jiani Group to exceed 3 billion Hong Kong dollars.

In this case, the British capital took over the shares held by Hutchison Whampoa and achieved a profit on the books, and the profit was 10%, which is already a lot.

At the same time, during the period before and during the Chinese New Year, Chen Songqing and others bought some shares of Jiani Group at a low price in the process of suppressing the stock price. Now that the stock price has been driven up, they are naturally ready to cash out and leave.

It can be said that raising the share price of Jianing Group now will have many benefits for Chen Songqing and British capital.

Lin Baicheng knew about the rise in Jianing Group's stock price that night, but he didn't say anything about it. The more the stock price rises now, the harder it will fall when evidence of Chen Songqing's financial fraud is found.

"I just don't know if the HSBC and British-owned families will still be able to laugh at that time."

Lin Baicheng is looking forward to this very much. Counting the shares taken over this time, HSBC can be said to be the second largest shareholder of Jiani Group, and now holds 20% of Jiani Group's shares.

Among the shares transferred by Hutchison Whampoa this time, HSBC took over 10% of the shares, and the other three companies each took over 5% of the shares.

During the last financing, 10% of HSBC's shares cost 250 million Hong Kong dollars. This time, 10% of the shares cost about 270 million Hong Kong dollars, which adds up to more than 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

"I almost forgot that Jianing Group borrowed a lot of money from HSBC. I don't know how many hundred million it is now."

Including the actual funds invested and loans, HSBC's investment in Jiani Group is definitely more than HK$500 million, and at least HK$700 million. As for whether there will be more, it depends on Chen Songqing's deception ability and how many loans he can get from HSBC.

“I just don’t know how much net worth the Jianing Group has.”

One thing Lin Baicheng knows very well is that even if the financial fraud of Jiani Group is exposed and the company goes bankrupt, with the strength of HSBC, it will definitely be able to get more money from Jiani Group to pay off HSBC's debts and compensate for HSBC's losses.

Those who really lost money should be the investors who bought the shares of the Jianing Group. These shareholders knew nothing and had no strength. If the Jianing Group went bankrupt and liquidated, they would not receive much compensation at all.

"Maybe I can use this to build up my reputation."

Lin Baicheng suddenly had an idea, which was to express his disapproval of Jiani Group and persuade investors to leave the market. No matter whether anyone listened or not, when the financial fraud was exposed, he would definitely gain a wave of reputation.

Lin Baicheng decided to let the secretariat discuss whether this was feasible and how it should be done.
