The Industrial Giant Reborn

Chapter 133 Li Jiacheng's Conspiracy
"Hutchison's general meeting of shareholders is held, and Chen Zhiwen is about to give in and delist Hutchison from the Hong Kong stock market."

"The Chinese business giant is about to annex Hutchison in an all-round way, creating a precedent for Hong Kong business"

"Huayang has changed hands, Hutchison is still heavily in debt, what to do, please see the analysis of this newspaper."

On the second day of Hutchison's shareholders' meeting, news spread that Chen Zhiwen was about to fully delist and privatize. After being blocked by reporters, Richard also affirmed this matter. For a while, the whole Hong Kong public opinion became hot again .

Some media supported Chen Zhiwen in the newspapers. The complete acquisition of such a large British bank is something that Hong Kong Chinese have never dreamed of for a hundred years. This generation has witnessed this business miracle and naturally supports it.

There are also those who oppose it. They think that although Chen Zhiwen is somewhat successful, the problem of Hutchison is the largest corporate-level debt crisis in Hong Kong history, far surpassing the Hang Seng Bank that year. Risk, privatization funds are not as good as used to save Hutchison's current funding problems.

There are also a lot of ridiculers, who think that some Chinese are overthinking their own capabilities, and take advantage of the debt crisis of British foreign companies to force acquisitions, and they don't see how much they can do?In less than a year, Hutchison will inevitably go bankrupt, and the person who bought it will also go bankrupt as a result.

In the next few days, various media and newspapers began to analyze and discuss in their own media, and finally quarreled, each with their own views, which made the entire Hong Kong melon-eating people join in the excitement.Of course, buying newspapers also cost a lot of money.

Cheung Kong Industrial Headquarters:

After reading a few newspapers, Li Jiacheng said with some incomprehension: "Old Hu, the purpose of Chen Zhiwen is obviously to privatize Heji. Unfortunately, if this money is given to Heji, Heji's current problems will be fine." There are many, and it is not necessary to release news that it will sell its assets, properties and some branches."

"Maybe he is too young to pursue sole proprietorship?" The middle-aged man sitting opposite Li Jiacheng guessed that this person is Hu Yingxiang, the founder of Hehe Industrial, one of the five real estate companies in Hong Kong.

Although they are both among the five real estate giants, this title is just a title given by the Hong Kong media to these five Chinese-funded giants, and it is only limited to the Chinese-owned companies. In today's Hong Kong, the real estate controlled by the Chinese-owned companies is actually just the tip of the iceberg. The five real estate giants combined cannot compare with traditional British giants such as Landmark, Hutchison, Wharf, and Swire.

Because of this, the relationship between the heads of the Five Tigers is still very good, and they have advanced and retreated together in the shopping malls. In the short term, there will be no conflicts among them, and many projects are also cooperating together. Develop, take risks together and profit together.

For a long time, their strategy has been to rely on their understanding of the real estate market and their excellent operational capabilities to acquire land from British-funded companies or cooperate with British-funded companies, and then make profits, but they dare not think about acquiring a large British-funded consortium. thing!

And Huazi is born with a gene that likes holding shares. If they acquired Hutchison, they would definitely find a way to do the same within their capabilities.

"It's not like that. I met Chen Zhiwen once. Although we didn't communicate much, I felt that he was very confident at that time, and he seemed to have absolute certainty in what he did. Looking at the time, he should have been planning and Remember, what you did today should have been prepared long ago." Li Jiacheng said.

"It's also possible that he thinks that Hutchison is too bloated, and wants to throw away all those small businesses, start light, and focus on other core businesses?" Hu Yingxiang said.

Li Jiacheng nodded and said: "It's possible. The privatization of Hutchison should also be because he believes very much in his ability to manage Hutchison well, and he is unwilling to share the results with other shareholders."

"I heard that Chen Zhiwen used high-risk leverage to speculate on industrial land in the past two years, but now in Hong Kong, industrial land is rising the fastest. If you look at it this way, he has been walking with his eyes closed. Betting on the market, or you are really confident." Hu Yingxiang said with emotion.

"The latter is obviously more likely, and he should be so confident." Li Jiacheng said with a smile: "The supply of a drink in the United States exceeds the demand, and the price is still so high. If Red Bull was mine, I would dare to buy Hutchison. .”

"He is capable, and it's too late for you to be envious." Hu Yingxiang shook his head and said, "It's only been a few years since Hutchison's debut, and if Hutchison's acquisition is really successful in the future, then he is our Huazi. It’s over, we don’t recognize the media!”

"It's okay not to admit it. Hutchison has too many high-quality assets. British capital didn't know how to develop land before, so they wasted so much time. I just don't know if Chen Zhiwen will?" Li Jiacheng said with a smile.

Hu Yingxiang paused, and said, "Old Li, that's why you called me here today, right? Let's go cooperate with Hutchison? Help him develop land?"

"I have this idea. No matter how powerful Chen Zhiwen is, he has no experience in real estate, let alone a team. It is impossible to develop it by himself. I guess, with his shrewdness, he is not too Maybe after waiting so long, we will definitely find a way to develop the land in our hands, and this is our opportunity." Li Jiacheng said with a light smile.

"You also said that he is so smart that he will cooperate with us?" Hu Yingxiang asked.

"So, we have to give Chen Zhiwen what he needs most now, capital." Li Jiacheng said with a smile: "No matter how profitable Red Bull is, while hoarding a large amount of land, and at the same time acquiring Hutchison, we still have to face how many With a debt of one billion yuan, he must be under great financial pressure, otherwise he would not have released the news to sell some land."

"Then you mean to buy the land directly?" Hu Yingxiang asked.

Li Jiacheng shook his head and said: "That's not true, direct purchase is also a method, but some of the positions released by Hutchison this time are still good. Not only us, but other Chinese capitals will also compete. This is similar to the Hong Kong government's auction. If we fight too hard internally, it will be cheaper for Hutchison and increase our pressure."

"The purpose of Hutchison's news release is to attract interested people to compete. What do you want? Let Chen Zhiwen choose to cooperate with you?" Hu Yingxiang asked a little puzzled.

"Yes, what do you think of our previous cooperation with Wheelock?" Li Jiacheng said. .

"That move is very interesting. Maybe he can really agree, but our risk is too high." Hu Yingxiang thought for a while after listening, nodded and said.

"As long as real estate prices rise, there will be no risk." Li Jiacheng said with a smile.

Hu Yingxiang asked: "Since you have such a good idea, why do you still come to me?"

"Because of the funds? No matter how I use the funds from the bank, I have to spend the money myself. Cheung Kong Industrial has many projects, and the funds available in a short period of time are limited, so I asked Brother Hu to help you." Li Jiacheng said with a smile.

"How much money do you need?" Hu Yingxiang asked.

"I don't know, it depends on how many projects Hutchison is willing to sell, and how many we can win, and how much, we have to talk to Chen Zhiwen, and I want to take care of you." Li Jiacheng said lightly. Said.

"Hahaha, as expected of you, Li Jiacheng." Hu Yingxiang gave a thumbs up and laughed.
