The Industrial Giant Reborn

"Then let's announce it, and end this matter as soon as possible." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

Compared with Wharf and Hutchison, Qizhou Yingni is just a small company. The main purpose of acquiring it is to use Qizhou Yingni's piece of land on the seaside of Hung Hom. In addition, Qizhou Yingni monopolizes half of the cement market in Hong Kong. It cannot be said that the business is useless, and it is still possible to give it to Hehuang. If Hehuang has the ability in the future, he may also be able to develop a lot of achievements in this area.

Although the cement business looks very low-level, the total market is still very large, especially the northern mainland will become a super infrastructure maniac in the future, and there may be certain opportunities in this regard. The only disadvantage is that this industry has certain pollution. Yingni's situation in Hong Kong is getting worse and worse. In fact, it has a lot to do with the Hong Kong government's gradual control of factory emissions.

"Okay, then I will discuss with Huodoli again." Zhou Jiayang said.

Central, inside the old HSBC headquarters:

Vice President Diss was just about to enter the office of Taiban Shen Bi, but before he knocked on the door, the door suddenly opened, and a white-haired white man came out, glanced at Diss, nodded in a friendly manner, and then left.

"Nubijian?" Diess looked at the back of Niubijian leaving, and became a little pensive. Hong Kong is such a big place. Everyone knows these celebrities, and Niubijian is naturally the most famous among them.

After walking into Shen Bi's office, Diss said, "Mr. Shen Bi, here are the financial statements of Huodoli for the last three months. Please have a look at them."

"Okay, isn't Huodoli's business developing well recently?" Shen Bi asked casually after finishing the report.

"It's not bad. The real estate market in Hong Kong has recovered recently, and the stock market has also recovered a lot. The demand for various investments has also begun to increase." Diess replied.

"Is there any big acquisition plan?" Shen Bi asked.

As Hong Kong's "quasi-central bank", although HSBC has a lot of power and funds, it is not without price. Rights also represent obligations. When Hong Kong's economy goes wrong, HSBC also needs to bear corresponding responsibilities, especially It was the real estate crisis in the past few years, and there were many bankrupt banks. In order to prevent a run on and cause the financial crisis to expand, HSBC also promptly assumed the responsibility of the corresponding "central bank", which naturally seriously affected HSBC's net profit.

Therefore, the profitability of Huodoli, an investment bank company, is very important. The main business of Huodoli is to invest in the financial market for investors, and it can also provide corresponding financial leverage services to earn handling fees. It is always the acquisitions between big companies that make money. For example, before Landmark Drinking Milk, Dolly made a huge profit of 30 million Hong Kong dollars. One transaction was equivalent to 10% of the net profit of HSBC at that time.

"There are no major acquisitions, but there may be some exceptions. The market value of this company is less than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not very big, but the one who plans to acquire it is Hutchison." Diess replied road.

Hutchison Huang had long entrusted Huodoli to acquire Qizhou Yingni, but because the transaction amount was not large, Diss had not reported it separately before.

"Oh, Hehuang is going to acquire Qizhou Yingni? This is Chen Zhiwen's first acquisition after taking over Hehuang." Shen Bi said.

"Yes, I guess, the main purpose of their acquisition of Qizhou Yingni is for the original factory land of Qizhou Yingni in Hung Hom." Diess analyzed.

"Ninety-nine are inseparable. With Chen Zhiwen's management style over the years, it is impossible for him to be interested in that bit of cement business. It must be for the land." Shen Bi nodded and said.

"The shares of Qizhou Yingni are also relatively scattered. I have bought 25% of the shares for Hutchison, and they are also preparing to make a public acquisition. The Kane family of Qizhou Yingni only holds about 20% of the shares. The capital difference between the two sides is very small. It’s so big, it’s basically a sure win,” Diess said again.

"Win is a matter of course. I don't care about a Qizhou Yingni. What I care about is how big Chen Zhiwen's ambitions are. He Huang has now got rid of the debt crisis. Although he is still in debt, there are no banks that can do anything to him. HSBC can't do it either, and Midea has a new product that is popular in Europe and the United States. It is said that the profit is very high, and it can easily reach several hundred million Hong Kong dollars a year. Under such circumstances, there are so many high-quality assets in the Hong Kong market. What do you think? What else would he look at?" Shen Bi put down the documents in his hand and said.

With the recovery of Hong Kong's real estate market and the improvement of Hutchison's capital, especially Whampoa Garden, the largest community project in Hong Kong's history, has been targeted by many scalpers who speculate on houses, and they are waiting for the pre-sale. Once the pre-sale starts, and Huang's funding problem can be said to have been completely resolved.

It is true that the debt is still there, but because of the increase in asset value, the debt ratio is no longer high. Even if HSBC is forced to pay the debt, Hutchison can obtain enough loans from other banks to repay HSBC. In this case, the bank has already lost Once you have the qualifications to control Hutchison's operations, you can just wait for the money to be paid back.

As for the development of Chen Zhiwen's several businesses, although it is kept secret, the product output and terminal price cannot be kept a secret. Professionals can roughly analyze the profit inside and know the approximate profit. It may not be accurate, but the difference of 20 to 30% will not affect Shen Bi. The judgment analysis of such people.

"There may be many. As far as I know, with the change of attitude in the north, many British capitals in Hong Kong are preparing to divest, and the most radical one may be Wheelock." Diess said.

"Wheelock?" Shen Bi frowned. He also knew that Wheelock had been selling properties in Hong Kong for the past two years, and then bought freighters or oil tankers to convert them into assets of its shipping company. However, its asset business in Hong Kong There are so many of them, and they won’t be able to go away in the short term.

"Mr. Shen Bi, if there is no problem, I am going to help Hehuang fully acquire Yingni in Qizhou in a few days?" Diss asked.

"Okay, without us, He Huang is sure to win, and we have no reason to give up this kind of profit." Shen Bi nodded and agreed, and said, "One more thing, just now you also saw Niu Bijian from Jardine , He came to me, hoping that I could lend a sum of money to Wellcome Supermarket under Hongkong Land to purchase new stores or open leased stores. The request was urgent, and he asked us to give them HK$100 million a month. "

"100 million Hong Kong dollars? Supermarkets need so much money?" Diess didn't realize it. The current 100 million Hong Kong dollars is also a very large amount of data. In the whole of Hong Kong, it is estimated that a listed company that can make a net profit of 100 million Hong Kong dollars a year No more than 20.

"Because they need to acquire related properties, Hutchison is also trying its best to expand its ParknShop supermarket. If Hutchison takes the lead, then Jardine will have little chance in the future." Shen Bi said.

"So that's how it is." Diess frowned and said, "It seems that Chen Zhiwen has only acquired Hutchison for a year, and now he is going to enter the supermarket field and at the same time acquire Qizhou Yingni. It seems that he is preparing to expand."

"Yes, so this is what I pay more attention to." Shen Bi nodded and said again.

"Then you are going to help Yihe?" Diss asked.

"Why choose one of the two? I can help both, can't I?" Shen Bi smiled and said: "The harder they fight, the more profits our bank will make."
