Rebirth of Xiangjiang: Across the World

Chapter 268 The Targeted Telecom
"of course can."

Zheng Yaoyang smiled, watching Wells get up in a hurry and go outside to make a call.

Today is different from the past. It is not as difficult for him to acquire a listed company now as it was last year.

He also believes that Wells, and HSBC, will make the right choice.

Zheng Yaoyang stroked his chin, and suddenly realized that he seemed more and more like those bullies who bullied the market.

But then again, he wasn't a good person in the first place, and wealth and status are the passports of bad people, so there's no reason not to use it.

Not long after, Wells came back from the call, wiped the sweat off his forehead, picked up the cold drink on the table, and took a big sip: "It's really hot outside."

He re-sat on the opposite side of Zheng Yaoyang, and said a little more wording: "Mr. Zheng, our chairman agrees to sell the telecom shares, but it will take a while, when will it end, and when will it be sold at a 50% premium?"

"No problem at all."

Zheng Yaoyang showed a smile on his face, put his hands together, and said gratefully: "Wells, thank you for your efforts for our friendship."

Wells said sincerely, "Zheng, I have always cherished our friendship."

"I firmly believe in this." Zheng Yaoyang looked like he had met a confidant.

The two shook hands and patted shoulders. People who didn't know it thought they were very good friends.

In fact, we are very clear to each other, the mountains and rivers meet each other, enough is enough, don't make the relationship too rigid.

HSBC raised the price appropriately, and Zheng Yaoyang readily agreed, so that everyone's face would be saved.

At 53:[-], when the Hong Kong stock market closed.

Xiangjiang Telecom, which has been trading sideways for nearly an hour, suddenly jumped 18 points in an instant, and the increase was 32 points on the day.

The closing price of the day stopped at 4.62 yuan, an increase of 1.12 yuan, and the latest market value was 18.53 billion.

At 10:[-] p.m., [-] minutes after the market closed, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange suddenly issued a corporate announcement, and Heung Kong Telecom was raised again. The institution that raised the nameplate: Bahrain Securities.

As soon as the news came out, stockholders in Hong Kong were in an uproar.

The listed company was raised twice in one day. Sima Zhaozhi's heart is known to everyone. Someone is definitely planning to snatch the control of Heung Kong Telecom.

The management of Heung Kong Telecom responded quickly, submitting a [-]-page long document, applying to the China Securities Regulatory Commission for an anti-hostile takeover business plan, and initiating protective measures to suspend trading.

The sudden acquisition made them fall into a passive situation. They needed time to find out the situation and understand the other party's information before they could make corresponding countermeasures.

Applying for a suspension of trading is to delay the acquisition process of the other party, and it is also convenient for oneself to prepare funds and increase shares.

Because they are also very clear that Heung Kong Telecom has been listed for too long and the proportion of floating shares is too high. As long as they contact some shareholders and buy stocks from the secondary market, it is very easy to seize control if they are willing to invest funds.

It's just that once the report was applied for, it aroused the abuse of countless stockholders. They didn't care whether Telecom would change owners.

If Hongkong Telecom suspends trading tomorrow, how can they eat leftovers between the two tigers.

Looking at the listed companies that have been acquired in the past, as long as the stockholders are courageous enough, they can easily earn dozens of points of profit.

Just like the original Wharf battle, Bao Yugang spent 30 billion Hong Kong dollars and lasted for more than two weeks. Many people made a lot of money in that carnival.

That night, Lin Defu, chairman of Heungkong Telecom, quickly contacted friends from all walks of life and asked them who the boss behind the Shuguang Fund was.

Although it is not yet clear whether the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will agree to their application for a suspension of trading.

However, even if it is agreed to suspend trading, it can only be delayed for a few days, and it cannot be closed for a lifetime.

Lin Defu had to find out who the visitor was and talk to him directly in order to solve the problem once and for all.

It just made him wonder that Neon's Shuguang Fund seemed to have popped up overnight, without historical data or business cases.

As for Japan, Lin Defu is not familiar with it, so even if he asks someone to investigate, it will take time.

Lin Defu temporarily put his doubts aside, and instead contacted the top ten major shareholders who hold telecommunications stocks.

Although the tradable shares account for as high as 58%, as long as the shareholders stand with him, even if Suguang Fund succeeds in the acquisition, it will take off a layer of skin.

The more calls I made, the more flustered I became. Most of the people who answered the phone were assistants or deputies of the shareholders.

Shareholders found various reasons to shirk and refused to talk to him, and the assistant's attitude was also ambiguous.

"Pujie, who the hell is it?"

Lin Defu finished the last phone call, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he threw his landline angrily with his big hand.

The landline hit the ground and was instantly torn apart, with parts and batteries scattered all over the place.

No matter how unresponsive he was, he now knew that someone had contacted the shareholders in advance.

That man was rich and powerful, so that the shareholders did not dare to become enemies with him, nor did they dare to disclose his name.

Suddenly, Lin Defu's assistant hurried into the office without knocking on the door.

Lin Defu's red eyes widened, and he yelled angrily: "There are no rules, don't you know to knock on the door first when you come in?"

The assistant was taken aback, hurriedly apologized, and said: "Director Lin, just now the front desk received a letter, saying that there is something you want to know."

"Bring it."

Lin Defu wanted to open the envelope immediately to clear up his doubts, but was hurriedly stopped by his assistant.

The assistant put on white gloves vigilantly, covered his cheeks with an umbrella, and opened the envelope after making all preparations.

There was only one letter in it.

Lin Defu glared at him, and said angrily, "Your third uncle's life is not worth other people's effort."

The assistant rubbed the back of his head and laughed: "I see this all over the TV, there is nothing wrong with being careful."

Lin Defu opened the envelope, his face gradually became serious.

[Zheng Yaoyang established Jingfangli in Tokyo, distributed the proceeds from dividends, and established a Shuguang Fund. 】

There is only this sentence on the paper.

Lin Defu asked: "The letter, who sent it?"

The assistant shook his head: "A bad boy was sent downstairs, saying that someone gave him 500 yuan to help deliver a letter."

After a while, Lin Defu's face was cloudy, and the assistant couldn't help being curious: "Director Lin, what was written in the letter?"

Lin Defu glanced at him, didn't intend to hide it, handed him a note, and slumped in a chair weakly.

The assistant was taken aback when he saw Zheng Yaoyang's name, and asked in confusion, "Kingfangli in Tokyo? Where have I heard the name of this company?"

"Read more newspapers on weekdays and less pick up girls."

Lin Defu glared at him, and said angrily: "Shorting the main companies in the Japanese real estate market, they were published in the Tokyo Daily for a few months ago, but they just disappeared recently."

The assistant asked: "Short the Japanese property market? Then Zheng Yaoyang should have made a lot of money?"

Japan's property market crash was a big event for the whole of Asia. He remembered very clearly that on the day of the property market crash, housing prices in various parts of Hong Kong were still affected.

However, the contagion dissipated quickly. After all, compared with Tokyo, Xiangjiang is still too small, and it is still developing, not so frothy.

Lin Defu smiled wryly: "Some say 20 billion, some say 50 billion, and some say 100 billion."

"Hong Kong dollars? It doesn't look like a lot."

"It's dollars!"

The assistant's eyes widened, and he couldn't help being speechless: "Zheng Yaoyang really made so much money again?"

Even the minimum of 20 billion US dollars is 156 billion Hong Kong dollars, almost the second richest person in Hong Kong.

How old is Zheng Yaoyang this year?

Have a net worth of 400 billion Hong Kong dollars? !
Lin Defu shook his head and said, "I don't know, anyway, it's not groundless, and I should have made a lot of money."

"How did he follow our telegram?"

"I don't know."

"Third uncle, what should we do then? Should we contact HSBC for help, borrow some money, and buy back stocks."

"Don't be too naive. HSBC is a bunch of wolves and tigers. If they help, they will be sold out."

Lin Defu smiled wryly, he was very self-aware, compared with Zheng Yaoyang, they had no advantage at all.

If he were HSBC, if he was allowed to choose, he would only choose to help Zheng Yaoyang.

The assistant frowned: "Why don't you let this news out? Give Zheng Yaoyang some trouble."

Lin Defu said coldly: "This is the worst policy, and the person who delivered the letter just now thought so too."

"Then what should we do?" asked the assistant.

"Be courteous before fighting, first contact Zheng Yaoyang to find out what his real intentions are."

Lin Defu looked solemn: "If there is really no room for maneuver, this bad strategy is better than nothing."

He knew very well that the person who sent the envelope wanted to kill someone with a knife.

This is a conspiracy, and when he has nowhere to go, he can't refuse it.

Not long after, Lin Defu got Zheng Yaoyang's contact information through Zhou Xiaolin.

Zheng Yaoyang seemed surprised that the Suguang Fund was exposed to the sun so early.

But he didn't hide it either, bluntly saying that he is the owner of Suguang Fund, and he is also planning to acquire Heung Kong Telecom.

The two had a brief conversation. After all, the phone was inconvenient. They agreed on a time and place and planned to meet up.
