Reborn Tycoon Rise

"Xu Sheng, please!" In an office on the highest floor of Hutchison Building, the secretary led Xu Zhi into a luxurious office!

Wei Li came out from inside and said with a smile: "Xu Sheng, welcome!"

Xu Zhidao: "Mr. Wei Li's office is really luxurious!"

Wei Li said: "This is left by the former senior classmate Qi Dezun, but the decoration is really good. If Xu Sheng is interested, I can also prepare a similar office for you in Hutchison Building!"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "The office does not care about luxury, the key is whether it can function."

Wei Li smiled and said: "Xu Sheng, please sit down. I heard that Xu Sheng also purchased Hutchison Whampoa's shares at a premium in the stock market. It seems that he is very optimistic about our company?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Of course, not only the company, I also like Mr. Wei Li's management ability. It is really remarkable that a company as big as Hutchison Whampoa can achieve profitability in your hands within one year."

When Wei Li heard this, he smiled and said: "Xu Sheng, in Chinese terms, I will open the skylight and speak out. If you want to get more equity, I can help you, but you must agree to one condition!"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Let's not talk about the conditions first, what can you help me?"

Wei Li said: "The way to increase the shares is simply to buy stocks or the company's private equity increase. Xu Sheng once publicly stated that he would give 1 billion to Hutchison Whampoa Financing. As long as the board of directors approves this condition, then Xu Sheng, you hold Hutchison Whampoa’s shares will exceed 35%, and Li Jiacheng’s shares will be reduced to less than 20%. As long as this is the case, victory will be announced immediately!”

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "This method is theoretically possible, but this kind of financing requires the approval of 2/3 of the directors, and as long as 33.4% of the equity holders do not agree, it will fail, but Li Jiacheng has 22.65% % of stocks.

And if he was secretly acquiring Hutchison Whampoa shares before he acquired the shares from HSBC like me, then he alone might own close to 30% of the shares.

So if you want to follow your method, you have to convince all the other directors, which is not easy. Bringing in my capital will dilute their shares! "

Wei Li nodded and said: "It is indeed difficult, but this is an opportunity to try. Xu Sheng's current purchase price on the stock market is very attractive, but if you only buy some people's stocks, the money will be of no use to Hutchison Whampoa." , but if financing comes in, it will not only allow Xu Sheng to successfully enter Hutchison Whampoa, but also bring enough funds for Hutchison Whampoa’s development, wouldn’t this be the best of both worlds?”

Xu Zhidao: "Okay, let's try it! What are your conditions?"

Wei Li said: "The conditions are very simple. If Xu Sheng becomes Hutchison Whampoa's major shareholder, then all current management personnel will continue to perform their duties. At the same time, Xu Sheng must also be the same as HSBC and must not interfere with Hutchison Whampoa's operations. We and Whampoa every year Huang’s stock dividends will be credited to Xu Sheng’s account on time, and if there is an opportunity for cooperation in the future, we can all work together!”

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Then what's the point of me acquiring Hutchison Whampoa? You want to be Newbijian, but I don't want to be Keswick!"

Wei Li said: "Xu Sheng, I know that you have made a fortune from scratch in just a few years, and your net worth may be on the same level as Bao Yugang. However, Xu Sheng, you do not have enough experience in managing a large enterprise like Hutchison Whampoa, and you do not have so many talents under you." , leave it to me to manage, and Xu Sheng can just sit back and enjoy the results, isn't it great?"

"It makes some sense, but it's impossible for me to ignore it at all. You should know that my main business is completely different from Hutchison Whampoa. I promise you that as long as you help me obtain the controlling stake in Hutchison Whampoa, I can let you continue to be Hutchison Whampoa. Taipan, but I have to participate in some big investments and policy decisions of Hutchison Whampoa." Xu Zhi said forcefully.

This sentence is true. Xu Zhi himself has no one who can manage a large enterprise like Hutchison Whampoa, and Wei Li himself is very capable. In later generations, even if he left Hutchison, he would still be able to live happily in Xiangjiang Shopping Mall. Shui Qi, let him continue to manage Hutchison Whampoa, and Xu Zhi provided some investment information at key points in time. This is absolutely a perfect cooperation. However, what we need to be careful of is that this guy is too arrogant. During the HSBC era, he often did not put HSBC on the front line. In eyes.

Wei Li frowned, thought for a while and said, "How do I know Xu Sheng that you won't burn bridges after acquiring the shares?"

"There is no guarantee!" Xu Zhi sneered: "If Li Jiacheng takes over Hutchison Whampoa and he has countless elites under him, do you think he will let you continue to be the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa?

Follow me, you still have a chance, otherwise, I think Mr. Weili should know what the final outcome is? "

Wei Li pondered for a while and said: "Okay, I promise Xu Sheng that if we cooperate, we can theoretically suppress Li Jiacheng, but the most troublesome thing is HSBC behind him!"

"HSBC?" Xu Zhi asked with some confusion: "Don't they only have 10% of preferred shares? They don't have voting rights at all, right?"

Wei Li smiled bitterly and said, "Xu Sheng, HSBC is a bank and Hutchison Whampoa's largest creditor. Even without our shares, it can still determine the company's various decisions to a great extent!"

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "I understand, this matter will depend on the subsequent development. When will the next board of directors be?"

Weili said: "The board of directors can be held at any time, but I need time to convince some directors."

"No problem." Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

…

After Xu Zhi left, Richard walked in and asked Wei Li, "How was it? Did he agree?"

Wei Li said: "Of course, it is easiest for him to cooperate with us. As long as he is smarter, he will definitely cooperate with us!"

Richard asked: "But if Xu Zhi really gets the controlling stake, we have to guard against him burning bridges!"

Wei Li said: "I have already considered this. At present, Hutchison Whampoa's middle and senior management are all British. I have reached a consensus with them to advance and retreat together. Whether it is Li Jiacheng or Xu Zhi, no matter who controls the company, If we want to fight for management, we have to face the consequences of our collective resignation.”

Richard said: "It's better not to use this trick until the last minute, and this kind of thing can't be pointed out clearly. Even if both parties are clear about it, if you say it, it will really cause a complete falling out!"

"I know this." Wei Li said: "No matter what, it is already a reality for Chinese capital to take over Hutchison Whampoa. The difference is that Li Jiacheng has his own elite team. After he takes over Hutchison Whampoa, he will definitely arrange his own people slowly. Even if we prevent it from entering management, we can only delay it for a few years.

But Xu Zhi is different. He has only started his business for two years, and he probably doesn’t have enough talents to manage his own company. Moreover, he is worth a lot and has enough cash for us to develop, which is of no harm to us.

To take a step back, even Xu Zhi, like Li Jiacheng, wants to get rid of us and completely control Hutchison Whampoa. But as long as Xu Zhi cannot manage Hutchison Whampoa without us in the past few years, I will have a way to slowly open up to the outside world. There are many ways to raise funds and dilute his shares. All we need now is time! "

Richard nodded and said, "Then what else do we need to do now?"

Weili said: "Contact more foreign funds and see if you can borrow enough funds. Without your own shares, no matter how high your status is and how great your credit is, you are just making wedding clothes for others!"
