The Industrial Giant Reborn

"Yes, I am in an advantage to consume the Kadoorie family's funds now, and I am not the one who is in a hurry. This is better than the CLP Power in the future." Bao Yugang nodded and said.

Although they are all consuming funds, I don't care about the results of the acquisition, and I don't need to consider how much the stock price will be raised or whether it will trigger an acquisition offer. I just need to desperately consume the funds in the hands of the other party. You can deliberately raise the stock price, and then cash out, but you can make a small profit.

"That's good, I just took advantage of this time to win over other shareholders, so as to ensure greater confidence." Guo Henian said.

"Does Liang Zhonghao still choose to be neutral now? With the 10% shares in his hand, once the shareholders' meeting is held, the influence will still be considerable." Chen Zhiwen asked. At present, both parties have their own advantages. The influence of 10% shareholders is almost semi-determinative. Once they turn to their own side, it is almost a sure win. But if they still help the Kadoorie family, it will be more difficult for their own side.

"This guy regretted it again recently. He probably wanted to sell because he saw that the price I offered was too high, but I didn't reply to him, because I would directly launch an offer to buy his shares." Guo Henian said with a sigh.

"Yes, if the Hong Kong government hadn't changed the regulations and bought the 10% again, it would be a sure win." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, there is no way, when several British-funded giants are acquired by him, the Hong Kong government will definitely protect them British capital builds laws and regulations, no matter in the previous life or in the present.

"Acquisition is not possible, but Guo Sheng can consider other ways to exchange, let him support you, Bao Sheng, you are playing slowly with the Kadoorie family in the stock market, HK Electric is ready to invest in a large-scale investment in Eastern Guangdong Province The power plant will supply part of the electricity back to Hong Kong. Once this news is released, it will inevitably cause the stock price of CLP to plummet. When it happens, we will take action together and buy the bottom again." Chen Zhiwen said.

Hong Kong Electric is in the hands of the later generation Li Jiacheng. Although the interests are very good, but after decades of development, it is still in a third of Hong Kong. Chen Zhiwen is not like this. With such a large domestic market, the future No. No matter what you do, you can get a share, especially in the 1980s and 1990s, the income of power plants was still very good, and the cost can usually be recovered in ten years, and the rest is earned.

Therefore, the senior management of HK Electric has been discussing with Guangdong Province and Shenhai City for several months, and finally decided to build a large-scale thermal power plant in Shenhai City, which will supply part of the electricity to Shenhai City and partly to Hong Kong.

In fact, this project has little impact on CLP Power. Even if it does, it will take many years to be reflected. However, the capital market mainly looks at the future value and development trend. Such a news is enough to make Zhonghuan Power Shares plummeted.

"Well, it's time for me to act." Bao Yugang nodded and said, seeing that Chen Zhiwen and Guo Henian had eaten meat, he naturally wanted to succeed as soon as possible, and with the arrival of 80 years, he felt more and more The drastic changes in the maritime shipping market are about to take place, and huge amounts of funds must be transferred to Hong Kong to achieve real safety.

"Is Hu Sheng still in the country?" Guo Henian asked suddenly.

"Yes, he is still busy with the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway, and our investment plan, he has also traveled to some cities, and he probably has some goals. When he comes back, he will probably discuss it with us." Chen Zhiwen smiled Said.

Although the Hong Kong market has always attracted the envy of most capitalists, it is obviously not suitable for Hu Yingxiang. This infrastructure madman in the Mainland is more interested in investing in the Mainland. The idea of ​​planning to build a large number of power plants in the country made Hu Ying, on the contrary, not plan to invest in power plant projects in eastern Guangdong Province, but concentrated on inspecting various major rivers in the country and preparing to build bridges on these rivers.

Although he indirectly robbed the business of this infrastructure madman, the Taishan Club investment plan proposed by Chen Zhiwen is enough to compensate Hu's family. Besides, every province except eastern Guangdong is short of electricity. If Hu Yingxiang still wants to build power factory, you can go to other provinces.

"He is more comfortable and doesn't have too much ambition." Bao Yugang said with a smile. He had chatted with Hu Yingxiang many times. He already knew this old friend, and he probably didn't care much about "wealth" anymore.

"Just look at it, we can actually do this, but we don't want to." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, as ordinary people, many people imagine that once their wealth is free, they will completely lie flat, but in fact, especially People who earn a lot of wealth by their own efforts are unlikely to stop chasing wealth.

Those who are not very willing to struggle are generally rich second generations. Of course, such things are not necessarily bad things. Many big families are not afraid of the second generation eating, drinking and having fun, but are afraid of the second generation working hard.

Hu Yingxiang's situation is different. He has earned enough wealth in Hong Kong, but when he knows that Hong Kong has more wealth, he transfers a large amount of capital to the mainland. In fact, he doesn't care about making more money in Hong Kong.

"Everyone has his own aspirations, I still admire Hu Sheng." Guo Henian nodded and said.

"In fact, there are many high-yield projects in the country. After the Kadoorie family is cleaned up, we can also prepare to invest a few more in the mainland, so that we will not disappoint everyone." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile. Hotels or infrastructure in the 1980s had high yields, but the market was too big and required too much investment, and it was impossible for Chen Zhiwen to win all of them. Therefore, except for a few with the highest yields, others should be introduced from multiple sources. Money is the best deal.

"Okay, then I'll take my leave first." Bao Yugang nodded and said.

"Okay." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

After the three said goodbye, the next day, the stock purchase office of the "Sugar King" of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange suddenly withdrew. The Kadoorie family naturally discovered this at the first time, and they also withdrew after an hour. the place of acquisition.

The stockholders at the scene naturally knew about this, and both sides suddenly withdrew, which immediately caused panic, especially those stockholders who took over at high positions. The highest of 80 Hong Kong dollars fell to 55 Hong Kong dollars.

On the second day, the stock price rose slightly, and it seemed that large capital was buying in small quantities.

The third day continued to fall.

Day four fell.

Article 5 has a small increase.

Time soon entered August, and the hot summer could not warm the cold hearts of many Hong Kong stock exchange investors.

During this period of time, the stocks of the big hotels were choppy like sea waves. I don’t know how many people wanted to go in and buy the bottom to make a profit, but in the end, all the underpants that lost money came out.

CLP Building Headquarters:

"Brother, in the past two weeks, Guo Henian's funds have been acquired on a large scale in the stock market for a while, and a bunch of large-scale sell-offs have caused serious losses on our side, and some of the funds of CLP have lost money." Henry Jia said. .

"Buy low and sell high non-stop, consuming our funds. The other party's trader should be a top expert, and he can't even play with a lot of money." Michael said with some heartache, so much money Even though he got some stocks, this kind of high-priced purchase is really a loss, but now he has more than 25% of the stocks in his hands, he can neither sell nor give up, he is completely trapped , but there is no other better way.

"One more thing, Hong Kong Electric announced a cooperation plan with the mainland, planning to build a thermal power plant in the mainland, and then reversely transmit electricity to Hong Kong, which caused the stock price of CLP to plummet. Standard Chartered Bank just called to confirm , although I didn’t say it, but the meaning is obvious, let’s control the risk.” Henry Kadori said.

"Don't care about this matter, we are also discussing cooperation with China. Even if Hong Kong Electric cooperates with China in this way, it will not directly affect us in a short time." Mi Gaojia said.

Henry said with some hesitation: "It's better not to announce this matter for the time being. We are cooperating with a nuclear power plant. From the perspective of global history, no one likes to have a nuclear power plant nearby. If it really leaks out, it may cause certain problems."

"That's right, let's wait until the matter of the big hotel is over." Michael Kadoorie nodded and said, "Recently, Liang Zhonghao seems to be avoiding me, and suddenly traveled to Southeast Asia, which is Guo Henian's territory. I am worried that he will betray us. .”

"Liang Zhonghao? If he is bought by Guo Henian, what about us?" Henry Kadoorie was taken aback. As the major shareholder of the hotel, once he did not support the Kadoorie family, it would be troublesome.

"The most abominable thing is this surnamed Liang. He had promised to stand by us before, but he actually hid at the last moment." Michael Kadoorie said a little sadly. If the Liang family didn't support the Kadoorie family at first, then In the face of attacks from capital giants in Southeast Asia, even if they want to keep their family assets, if they really can't, they will voluntarily give up in order to obtain the maximum benefit, but at this point, the family has already lost a lot of money 100 million down, but there is a high probability of facing the end of failure.

"Now there is no possibility of getting out of the body." Henry Jiali said with a frown.

"I can only take one step at a time." Michael Kadoorie said with a sigh.

Star River Building:

"Bao Sheng, I have some good news for you. The Kadoorie family has spent a lot of existing funds recently, news from Standard Chartered Bank." Chen Zhiwen met with Bao Yugang and told him the good news.

Standard Chartered Bank lent hundreds of millions to the Kadoorie family, so it naturally has the right to supervise the flow of funds, but this is a commercial secret, and the bank cannot tell others, but as long as it does not involve too specific information, it is considered a very vague gray area Besides, Chen Zhiwen doesn't need such accurate data here, and the difference of tens of millions is not a problem, and in order to avoid legal risks, these things are done by his subordinates. Chen Zhiwen and Standard Chartered Daban Bill Winter will not talk about these Confidential ones are told by the subordinates, and then the boss.

"It's almost the same. I also spent 200 million Hong Kong dollars here. In this case, after I get rid of the stocks in my hand and cash them out, I will officially announce the acquisition plan for CLP." Bao Yugang nodded and said.

"Okay, everything is going according to plan." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

Ten days later, when the stock price of the hotel once again fell below 40 Hong Kong dollars, there were two more news that shocked the whole of Hong Kong.

Guo Henian officially announced that he has acquired 34.9% of the shares. According to the laws of the Hong Kong government, he can join the board of directors of the hotel and obtain two voting rights on the board of directors. He also publicly publicized that the Kadoorie family has devoted all their resources and energy to Invested in CLP Power, ignoring the needs of shareholders of big hotels.

Therefore, he officially announced the convening of the board of directors as a major shareholder, demanding the dismissal of the current board of directors, and re-establishing a new top management.

But this is actually within everyone's expectations. After all, they have been playing in the stock market for more than a month. I don't know how many people have benefited from it, but the other news is even more shocking.

Bao Yugang officially announced that he already owns 22.8% of CLP Power. Because he is optimistic about the future development of Hong Kong's power industry, he plans to make long-term acquisitions in the stock market in cash until the acquisition reaches 34.9%. However, Bao Yugang He also stated that he will not compete for the management rights of the company.

It's just that, who would believe it?

Anyone with a little brain knows that Bao Yugang is aiming to acquire CLP Power, and Guo Henian's previous acquisition of the big hotel is obviously just a foreplay, or the two of them have negotiated, otherwise, one world sugar king, one world sugar king Ship King, how could he attack the Kadoorie family all of a sudden?

As for the Kadoorie family, it was really unlucky to be preyed by two of the most powerful Chinese in the world.

Hong Kong, HSBC headquarters.

Shen Bi personally received a guest who hadn't come for a long time.

"Chen Sheng, I don't know what advice you can give me when you come to HSBC in person." Shen Bi said with a smile. Although he has been slapped in the face and cheated many times, he still has the most basic face of the upper class.

"Mr. Shen Bi, I came here today in the hope of avoiding another conflict." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.

"Conflict? In other words, the siege of the Kadoorie family was indeed caused by Chen Sheng." Shen Bi said calmly, "At the beginning, I wondered why Guo Henian would keep an eye on the big hotel, but then Bao Yugang took action. , I just realized, but if the two of them can cooperate like this, I guessed that there must be someone to guide them, and Chen Sheng is the only person in the world who can have this ability."

"Thank you for the compliment." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile: "Mr. Shen Bi, I actually don't want to be an enemy with HSBC, so I came here to communicate with HSBC before it gets involved.

Bao Sheng abandons his boat and lands, and no one can stop him. This actually depends on Mr. Shen Bi's change of ocean shipping strategy. "

"So Bao Yugang chose CLP Power, which is a very good choice." Shen Bi nodded and said, since he took office at HSBC, he has been acutely aware of the possible future crisis in the HNA market, so he began to cut off HSBC from many shipping companies. The company's cooperation also includes Bao Yugang, even if he is a director of HSBC, the taipan of HSBC has absolute control, but the relationship between the two is not bad.

"There are indeed many high-quality companies in Hong Kong, but there are not many that can meet Bao Yugang's financial requirements. This is an investment involving Bao Sheng's lifelong assets. He will never give up. Therefore, any help to the Kadoorie family The consortium or the bank needs to consider how much they can support, because if it fails, it will be a huge financial loss." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"Chen Sheng has a good strategy. From Guo Henian to Bao Yugang, everything is under your control. It seems that if the company of the Kadoorie family is acquired, Chen Sheng will benefit a lot." Bao Yugang said with a smile.

"It's just becoming a shareholder, and there may be some cooperation with others." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.

"Well, I won't help the Kadoorie family anymore." Shen Bi thought for a while, nodded and said, facing three top Chinese in the world, HSBC would not foolishly go head-to-head again.
