Life 1984

Li Yunhai's acquisition of shares in the Kadoorie Hotel was actually planned for a long time.

Not many people know the name Kadoorie, but when it comes to their Peninsula Hotel, I believe many people know it.Peninsula Winery in Hong Kong has always been a leader in the hotel industry and has always been the institution with the most Rolls-Royces in Hong Kong. In 76, 8 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadows were ordered, in 80, 9 Silver Shadow IIs were ordered, and in 87, 8 Silver Shadows were ordered.

The British guy knew that Li Yunhai owned a large number of shares in the hotel and wanted to negotiate a buyback with Li Yunhai.But his arrogant attitude annoyed Li Yunhai.

Even if the other party is British, Li Yunhai does not pretend to be polite.

After Li Yunhai finished speaking, he waved his hands and left.

After completing the relevant procedures for the land auction, Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua returned to the office in Sihai Building.

Guo Wanhua said: "Yunhai, that piece of land is only 3 square meters. We spent 9 million to buy it. The average price is as high as 3 Hong Kong dollars. You have created a new height for land auctions in Hong Kong."

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "I believe that Xiangjiang's economy will be better in the future and the land use value will be higher. It is worth spending the money. Li Jiacheng can only contribute 8 million, but we only have [-] million more. Build two more floors and you’ll make it back.”

He believes that in the next ten years, housing prices in Xiangjiang will increase 10 to 20 times.

Guo Wanhua said: "That being said, do you still have money to build a building now? Or do you plan to develop it together with Li Jiacheng?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "I made a lot of money in the United States. But it hasn't arrived yet."

Guo Wanhua asked curiously: "How do you make money in the United States?"

Li Yunhai said: "I guessed that the U.S. stock market might collapse. The Tudor Fund in the U.S. has long been badmouthing U.S. stocks, and I'm just following their guidance."

"and then?"

"I'm short U.S. stocks."

“How to go short?”

"I predict that a certain stock may fall, so I first find a broker to borrow these stocks, and then sell them to investors on the market at the current price. In this process, I make no money and I have no stocks in my hands. I will wait for the stock price When the stock falls, buy it back at a low price and return it to the brokerage. By selling high and buying low, you can earn profits when the stock falls. The U.S. stock market adopts a T+0 trading method and allows margin trading, so it is easy Go short. As long as you have an account.”

"So how much did you earn?"

"I want to leave part of the money to make acquisitions in Xiangjiang, and I have invested US$3 million in US stocks."

"How much can you earn?"

"Because there are restrictions on the U.S. stock market, when a stock falls by more than 10% that day, short selling is automatically prohibited for three days to avoid irrational acceleration of the decline. During this period, although the U.S. stock market experienced a stock market crash, the time was too short and I was too late. Doing too many operations. After my operations, my return was only 3% at most.”

Guo Wanhua did a quick mental calculation and said, "That can earn almost [-] million US dollars?"

Li Yunhai smiled slightly: "Yes. When the money comes in, I will have money to build a building in Causeway Bay. I made 2 million U.S. dollars in the U.S. stock market, and adding the original 3 million U.S. dollars, I have another 5 million U.S. dollars. The principal of US dollars. Unfortunately, my principal is still too small. If I have 30 billion US dollars, then I can earn 20 billion US dollars."

Guo Wanhua clicked her tongue in admiration: "Yunhai, you have earned enough. American people's money is not that easy to earn."

Li Yunhai said: "The stock market in the United States is more mature, and they have a complete set of loss prevention mechanisms. This stock market crash was because they believed too much in computer algorithms and left everything to computers to control. For example, when the Dow Jones index fell , the computer will automatically sell the stock. If no one buys it, the computer will automatically lower the price and continue selling. This is programmed. In a short period of time, they cannot change the entire program and can only watch the stock market crash."

Guo Wanhua smiled and said: "I heard that Soros lost US$8 million due to misjudgment. You are even more powerful than Soros!"

Li Yunhai said: "I'm really lucky."

Of course, his luck was not bullshit, but he used the wisdom of rebirth.

There will be many more opportunities like this in the future.

For example, the Toyo stock market crash in 92, the major stock market crash in 97, and the financial crisis in 98.

After a few more years of development, Li Yunhai will have more and more funds in his hands.

In the war ten years later, Li Yunhai will have more chips!You can also make more dollars from it.

Li Yunhai used US$3 million to earn US$2 million from the US stock market in less than a month, which can be considered a successful operation.

Most people are losing money, but he can make so much money, which is enough to make the world proud.

With this US$5 million, Li Yunhai can invest in building a building in Xiangjiang.

He bought the Navy Building for just over HK$2 million.

5 million US dollars is enough for him to build high-rise buildings.

If we cooperate with Li Jiacheng, it would be enough to build a 100-story skyscraper.

Li Yunhai was chatting with Guo Wanhua when a staff member came in and reported: "Mr. Li, Mr. Guo, someone from the Kadoorie Hotel is here to see you."

Guo Wanhua said: "Yunhai, they must be here to negotiate again. Do you want to see them?"

Li Yunhai thought for a while and said, "Let's meet! I do have their stocks in my hands."

After a while, a British guy came in with a Chinese female secretary.

This British guy's attitude was much better than the previous one. He smiled and shook hands with Li Yunhai as soon as he walked in.

Li Yunhai knew their purpose of coming, but he asked knowingly: "Excuse me, what do you want?"

The British guy called himself Jack and came to negotiate with Li Yunhai on behalf of the big hotel group.

"Mr. Li, the stock market has been turbulent recently. We were too careless and let you acquire 35% of the shares. We are now willing to buy it back at the original price."

"Hahaha!" Li Yunhai let out a sarcastic laugh, "Original price? Which original price is it? Is it the price before the stock market turmoil?"

Jack raised his right index finger and shook it gently: "No, no, no, it's the price when you bought the stock."

Li Yunhai's face darkened and he said: "How can there be such a truth in the world? Why should I sell the things I bought to you at the original price? You are also a businessman, do you think this is reasonable?"

Jack saw that Li Yunhai was not someone who was easy to fool, so he said: "Mr. Li, this is a hostile takeover. We can appeal to the takeover committee! Get back the stocks belonging to our company!"

Li Yunhai made a casual gesture: "I won't give it away!"

Jack froze.

Don't eat soft and hard!
Jack couldn't help but give in again and said: "Mr. Li, we will buy it back at the original price and give you another 1000 million as a reward."

Li Yunhai asked in a deep voice: "1000 million, what currency is it in? US dollars or Hong Kong dollars?"

Jack said: "Of course it's Hong Kong dollars."

Li Yunhai waved his hand: "Whether it is US dollars or Hong Kong dollars, I cannot agree to such a repurchase."

Jack said: "Mr. Li, you hold so many shares, what do you want to use them for?"

Li Yunhai said: "I am now the second shareholder of your hotel, and I have the right to join your board of directors. At least I have to be the vice chairman of the board of directors, right?"

A flash of anger flashed across Jack's face and he said: "Mr. Li, you should know that this is impossible. Our group will never allow outsiders to enter the board of directors."

Li Yunhai said: "I own 35% of your shares. Even if I am your major shareholder, it is only a little more than me! Why don't you let me join the board of directors?"

Jack said: "The Kadoorie family is a British-owned conglomerate, and they will never allow outsiders to interfere with the issue of management rights."

Li Yunhai said: "Then I will ask Xiangjiang's Acquisition and Merger Committee to come out and administer justice!"

Jack said: "Mr. Li, this is a British territory. Do you think the acquisition committee is helping you or the British capital?"

Li Yunhai said: "I think they will definitely help the right side! The right side travels all over the world, but the unjust side can't move even an inch! You and I are both in the business world, and we should all act in accordance with the rules of the business world. Why didn't you hold 51% of the shares in the first place? ? If this is the case, your management rights will not fall into the hands of others! When you go public and raise funds, you are eating a bowl of finance, so you must abide by the economic order!"

Jack said: "Mr. Li, your request is too unreasonable and we will not agree to it. We will give you a maximum compensation of 3000 million Hong Kong dollars."

Li Yunhai waved his hand calmly: "Then there's no need to discuss! I'm not short of this money, so it doesn't matter if I keep the stock in my hands. When the stock price rises one day, I'll sell it to you!"

Jack came on a mission and had to reclaim these shares.

Li Yunhai is now the second largest shareholder.

If he joins forces with other small shareholders, he can completely control the big hotel group!
The British conglomerates will never allow such a thing to happen.

Li Yunhai bought it when the stock price was the cheapest and didn't spend much money.

The big hotel group owns the best assets in the world!
Li Yunhai got a big bargain.

Jack suppressed his anger and continued to negotiate with Li Yunhai.

He increased his remuneration to HK$4000 million.

Li Yunhai was unmoved.

Jack finally said: "Up to 5000 million Hong Kong dollars, Mr. Li, you can make so much money just by changing hands!"

Li Yunhai said: "I don't want to earn these 5000 million! Just do whatever you want!"

This negotiation has touched Jack's bottom line. He stood up suddenly and said, "Mr. Li, how much do you want to pay before you are willing to return these stocks to us?"

Li Yunhai didn't really want to join a big hotel group. Firstly, he didn't have the leisure to manage this hotel. Secondly, he didn't want to deal with these unreasonable British investors.

If he has money, he can invest it domestically and make money from future development.

Of course, Li Yunhai's purchase of stocks this time was just to make a windfall.

Instead of harvesting Hong Kong stocks, he chose to acquire British stocks, and he also made money from British conglomerates.

Li Yunhai said in a deep voice: "I don't want more. If you give me an additional remuneration of [-] million US dollars, I will return the original price of these shares to you."

"Impossible!" Jack said angrily, "One hundred million dollars? You are crazy!"

Li Yunhai pointed to the door and said calmly: "Get out!"

Jack felt like he was hit hard, but he couldn't think about it, so he turned around and walked out.

Li Yunhai sneered: "You want to send me away with 5 million Hong Kong dollars? You think I'm a beggar!"

Guo Wanhua said: "Yunhai, calm down. Do you really want to join their management?"

Li Yunhai said: "If they can't afford the price, then I will have no choice but to join their management."

Guo Wanhua said: "These British guys are not easy to deal with. As a Chinese, even if you join the management, it will be difficult for you to have a big say. Why not make some money and sell it to them?"

Li Yunhai said: "I have just made an offer. I will sell it to them at the original price of US$1 million, otherwise there is no need to negotiate. If I keep these stocks in my hands and keep them for a few years, I should make more than US$1 million." ."

Guo Wanhua asked with a smile: "How did you come up with the idea of ​​buying their shares?"

Li Yunhai said: "Because they are British investors! If the British people don't make money, they won't make it in vain."

He acquired not only shares in major hotel groups, but also shares in other companies.Li Yunhai doesn't want to hold it for a long time, because he wants to withdraw the funds as soon as possible and use them for other purposes.

As a result, Li Yunhai sold more than 800 million shares of China Gas to Xiangjiang's fund, making a profit of more than 3500 million Hong Kong dollars. At the same time, he sold other stocks in his hand one after another, making a total profit of [-] million US dollars.

In the end, he only retained the shares of the Grand Hotel Group and did not sell them.

In this global stock market crash, Li Yunhai cleverly used his limited funds and has made 3 million US dollars from it.

If the Grand Hotel Group's shares can be sold for US$1 million, he will make a total profit of US$4 million.

Li Yunhai set the price.

But the big hotel groups obviously don't want to spend so much money.

The two parties eventually took the lawsuit to Xiangjiang's Mergers and Acquisitions Committee.

The Mergers and Acquisitions Committee stepped in to coordinate.

Li Yunhai took control, so he had to deal with it and not let anyone else do it.

This lawsuit eventually became known to the whole of Hong Kong.

Major media outlets in Xiangjiang reported this incident one after another.

The media sided with Li Yunhai and supported Li Yunhai's entry into the Grand Hotel Group.

Hong Kong people's views are still very fair. They all believe that since the hotel group is a listed company, it must bear corresponding risks.

The big hotel group is so arrogant and rude, they are simply ignoring the rules.

Li Yunhai simply refused to compensate or sell shares, and decided to join the management of the hotel group.

With the shares he holds, he can jointly acquire other small shareholders in the future, which will completely allow the big hotel group to change ownership.

Li Yunhai's tough attitude, coupled with the support of Hong Kong people, the hotel group instantly lost public opinion.

By this time, Xiangjiang’s stock market had picked up.

Thanks to the Hong Kong government's efforts to rescue the market, the Hong Kong stock market has gradually returned to normal.

The Hang Seng Index rebounded to more than 2500 points, and the stock price also rose accordingly.

Thanks to Li Yunhai's initiative of winning 9 million land kings, the share price of Xiangjiang Sihai Group once again bucked the market trend and soared to HK$58.6, which was slightly higher than the price before the stock market crash.

This lawsuit has brought the Xiangjiang Sihai Group a lot of eyeballs and attention. Xiangjiang shareholders have sincerely supported it. The stock price of the Xiangjiang Sihai Group has risen again, exceeding 60 Hong Kong dollars for the first time, reaching 61.5 Hong Kong dollars!

The big hotel group couldn't win the lawsuit, and forcing Li Yunhai didn't work, so he was in a dilemma.

Affected by the lawsuit, the Peninsula Hotel's business plummeted.

If the lawsuit continues, it will be beneficial to Li Yunhai but not beneficial to the hotel group.

In the end, the hotel group compromised and was willing to pay Li Yunhai US$[-] million in compensation and buy back all of his shares in the hotel.

Li Yunhai, with his adult beauty, accepted the US$[-] million lightly and happily.

After this battle, Li Yunhai earned US$4 million!
This is also his largest income since selling the CCA global license.

The Grand Hotel Group has learned its lesson and will control 51% of the shares no matter what in the future to prevent such an accident from happening again.

The flower blooms on two branches, and the words represent both ends.

When Li Yunhai was making a big splash in the Xiangjiang stock market, Lin Zhi, Shen Xiulan and others were also attending the Canton Fair in Huacheng. Through their efforts, they obtained an order of US$2.7 million.

The two of them had originally agreed to come to Xiangjiang to meet Li Yunhai after Linzhi completed the Canton Fair.

But because the company received so many orders, Lin Zhi, Shen Xiulan and others could not leave for a while, so they did not go to Xiangjiang to meet Li Yunhai.

After the Canton Fair in Huacheng, Linzhi led the team back to Xizhou to take charge of the overall situation.

For such a large number of orders, buyers only place deposits in advance.

Linzhi and the others had to return visits one by one to urge them to pay for the goods.

Because Sihai Group has regulations that require payment first and delivery later, this tradition cannot be lost.

After receiving the payment, we have to arrange the production of various products.

Sihai Group not only has its own production factory, but also has many foundries outside.

What products are produced in Xizhou?Which goods need to be produced by the foundries in Beijin and Shanghai?

Whose payment will arrive first?It is necessary to arrange whose order will be shipped first.

Production is on the one hand, customs declaration, tax declaration, contacting shipping, and so on.

Due to the time difference between various countries, the company has to work overtime until late at night to facilitate contact with overseas customers.

Lin Zhi and the others didn't get off work until twelve o'clock in the evening every day, but they were still busy with things.

Under such circumstances, Lin Zhi thought of going outside to see the world, but she repeatedly postponed it.

On this day, Lin Zhi came home after working overtime. She always felt weak and couldn't muster any strength.

She thought she had a cold and quickly took a thermometer to measure her temperature.

After taking my temperature, I found that I didn't have a cold, so I rested peacefully.

The next morning, she lay in bed, unable to cheer up.

These days, Shen Xiulan commutes to and from get off work with her.

In the morning, Shen Xiulan came to call Lin Zhi to go to work, and then called Lin Zhi out of bed.

Shen Xiulan saw that Lin Zhi was in poor spirits and asked, "Ling Zhi, are you okay?"

Lin Zhi said: "I'm fine, I'm just sleepy! I just want to sleep."

Shen Xiulan said: "Then you have a good rest and don't go to work."

Lin Zhi shook his head and said: "No, today is the busiest day. There are still so many foreign businessmen who have not paid, and we still have to rush! A minor injury can't get out of the line of fire! None of you said to take a rest. I am the boss's wife, how can I say to take a rest? ?”

Shen Xiulan said: "You are stupid! It is precisely because you are the boss's wife that you can rest. We are all your employees, so of course we cannot rest."

Lin Zhi smiled: "I suddenly want to eat spicy food. If it's spicy and I sweat, I might have some strength."

Shen Xiulan said: "Then let me accompany you outside to eat hot and sour noodles?"

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "Okay! Just wait for me while I change clothes."

Ten minutes later, they came to a noodle shop, ordered two bowls of hot and sour noodles, and asked the boss to add more chili.

Lard was being fried in the restaurant, and the strong smell of oil hit my nose.

Shen Xiulan shrugged her nose and said with a smile: "The smell of lard is so fragrant! I haven't smelled this kind of smell in a long time."

Lin Zhi was about to speak when she suddenly covered her mouth, retched a few times, and said, "It smells so bad, I feel sick when I smell it."

Shen Xiulan patted her back and said, "Are you catching a cold? The weather is getting colder now, please keep warm."

Lin Zhi shook her head and said, "I don't have a cold. I don't have any symptoms of a cold. I just can't smell it."

Shen Xiulan said: "I think it smells very good."

When the hot and sour noodles arrived, the two of them had breakfast together.

Lin Zhi ate a bowl of spicy rice noodles, which was so spicy that she sweated all over her forehead.

A thin trickle of sweat fell on her delicate and smooth forehead.

Shen Xiulan took out her handkerchief, gently wiped away her sweat, and said, "Did Yun Hai talk to you on the phone? What on earth is he doing in Xiangjiang for so long?"

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "I don't even miss him, but you miss him? If you miss him, just call him!"

Shen Xiulan blushed and said, "Hey! Who missed him! I was just asking! If he had nothing important to do, he would have come back to take care of you earlier. I think you are lovesick, right?"

Lin Zhi said: "He did several big things in Xiangjiang and bought a 3-square-meter piece of land. The stock market in Xiangjiang collapsed, and he had to maintain the stock price of Xiangjiang Company. It was not easy for him. He was even busier than us!"

Shen Xiulan said: "Yunhai is really a model worker!"

Lin Zhi smiled and said: "Speaking of model workers, he really deserves it. I heard from my dad that Yunhai has won the National Outstanding Young Model Representative and the National New Long March Commando. He has to go to Beijin to receive the award!"

Shen Xiulan asked: "When will you go?"

Lin Zhi said: "In December. When he comes back from Xiangjiang, he will almost receive this award. This is a very good honor for him!"

The two had breakfast and came out together.

A tractor drove over, spewing thick oil vapor and smoke.

Lin Zhi smelled the smell and couldn't bear it any longer. She ran to the side and became nauseated again.

Although Shen Xiulan was also a little girl, when she saw Lin Zhi's reaction, she thought of something and asked, "Ling Zhi, are you pregnant?"

Lin Zhi was startled, caressing her heart, and asked, "Am I pregnant?"

Shen Xiulan smiled and said, "How would I know? But judging from your reaction, I'm probably pregnant!"

Lin Zhi also reacted and showed a bright smile: "If you say so, it is really possible that I am pregnant! Yunhai and I have not taken any measures in the past few months! I just want to get pregnant! How long does it usually take to get pregnant? reaction?"

Shen Xiulan said: "I'm not sure. You should have morning sickness after two or three months, right? Lin Zhi, go to the hospital for a checkup! I'll go with you. I'm busy with work anyway. This is top priority." event."

Of course Lin Zhi also knew the importance of this matter. She was also eager to know whether she was pregnant, so she said: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiulan, you are so kind!"

Shen Xiulan smiled slightly: "It should be."

There was unspeakable pain in her heart!
Lin Zhi is pregnant with Li Yunhai's child!

Does she still have a chance? (End of chapter)
