People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

Chapter 54: Do you want to take control of Hutchison Whampoa immediately?

That night, many media workers in Xiangjiang were called back to work overtime in a state of confusion. Many newspapers that had been printed overtime in the printing factory were all scrapped.

Because all newspaper owners know that if their newspapers do not include news about these two transactions, they will not be able to sell many copies even if they are printed.

Although no interviews were conducted, the announcements issued by Huifeng Bank, Tianyuan Investment Company or Global Shipping Group all contained specific transaction information relatively clearly.

None of this bothered them, and soon, various exaggerated headlines appeared in front of the editors-in-chief of various newspapers.

This night is destined to be a night that keeps all media people awake at night.

The news this time is much more popular than the previous news produced by Tianyuan Investment Company alone.

As before, the biggest protagonist this time is still Tianyuan Investment Company.

The next morning, all the citizens discovered that this morning seemed different from before.

Many people gathered together and talked about the news in the newspapers.

I had no idea what was going on, so I walked a few steps and bought a newspaper, and I quickly found out what was going on.

The news of Tian Yuan's acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa and Universal's acquisition of Wharf has caused the stock market in Hong Kong to boil.

Major media outlets have commented one after another, describing this move as "a snake swallowing an elephant", "groundbreaking", and "like dropping a big bomb."

The Oriental Daily article stated:

Tianyuan Company gave up Wharf and acquired Hutchison Whampoa, which shows the wisdom and profound insight of Tianyuan Company.

First of all, historically, Wharf has always been an associate company of Land and Land, and Land and Land are the two main players of the Jardine Matheson Group. The acquisition of Wharf will definitely be met with full counterattack by the major shareholder Jardine Matheson.

Since Qi Dezun sadly resigned, Hutchison Whampoa has lacked a major family shareholder. Its shares are scattered among many shareholders. The acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa will not encounter stubborn resistance from the major family shareholders, and the war situation will be much peaceful. , the price paid is also smaller.

Affected by the last exclusive report, "Oriental Daily" praised Tianyuan very hard.

However, if someone is careful and investigates carefully, what "Oriental Daily" said is very reasonable.

To build a Wharf warehouse, one must go head-to-head with the Jardine Matheson Group. However, among the current Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong, only the super-rich such as the chartering king can go head-to-head with the Jardines Group, and the chartering king is also backed by Huifeng Bank. , and there is no need to be afraid of Yihe.

However, all of Su Cheng's strength has not been exposed. No one knows his true strength. After careful investigation, he only found out that he controls Su Group and 23% of Wharf stocks, such as the secret acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa shares, which is completely untrue. Clearly, not to mention the media people, even Huifeng Bank has no idea about this.

More media are touting the rise of Chinese businessmen.

After all, after this time, the major shareholders of the two major foreign banks, Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa, have changed from British capital to Chinese capital. Although it does not mean that they can control Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa for the time being, it is also a A historic breakthrough.

A large number of reporters and media came to Tianyuan Building, and everyone wanted to interview the person in charge of the company.

However, Zhang Qizheng would not disclose any information to the media without Su City's authorization, so he chose not to be interviewed.

Under the restraints of the security personnel, we couldn't even take a step into Tianyuan Building, and finally gave up.

Of course, some reporters were lurking outside the building, hoping to interview Zhang Qizheng when he came out.More reporters, after finding no results, chose to go to Shen Bi, Charter King, Wei Li and others.

Wei Li, the current chairman of Hutchison Whampoa, after a night of irritation, as soon as he saw the news media people, he started to complain about Huifeng Bank's lack of ethics.

He said in an interview with dozens of media reporters: "Huifeng Bank sold to Tianyuan Company at a price of HK$7.5, which is very unreasonable. According to Hutchison Whampoa's asset revaluation, the net asset value reached HK$58 billion, that is, The market value of each share should be HK$14.4, which is nearly double the transfer price of Huifeng Bank!"

Chairman of Jardine Matheson, Twisted Pik-jian, even pointed out forcefully when facing reporters that they would not give up Wharf easily, and the next step would be a tough battle!
In short, the business community in Xiangjiang suddenly became chaotic, very chaotic.

Everyone is talking about Huifeng Bank, Hutchison Whampoa, Wharf, Tianyuan Company, and Global Shipping Company.

The stocks of Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa each rose by more than 20% that day.

In response to this, Zhang Qizheng naturally asked the trading team to stop continuing to absorb Hutchison Whampoa, because he knew that this increase was only temporary. When they discovered that Hutchison Whampoa seemed to have no large funds to enter the market, they would naturally rise again. drop down.

As for Wharf, it will automatically continue to rise, because everyone knows that as long as Jardine refuses to give up Wharf, they can only bite the bullet and continue to buy Wharf stocks. As for Charter King, their stocks will be surpassed as a result. ?Of course it's impossible!
When the business community in Xiangjiang was in a mess, Zhang Qizheng was making a transoceanic phone call to report to Suzhou City on the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa and the reaction of the people in Xiangjiang.

"It looks like we dropped a depth charge!" Su Cheng said with a smile while listening to Zhang Qizheng's report.

"Yes, this is like a big earthquake. It has shocked some British business people and awakened some Chinese people." Zhang Qizheng said with emotion.

"Let's not leak out Hutchison Whampoa's other stocks yet. After the stock falls, we will continue to acquire it. Also, we will see which shareholder is willing to sell the stock. If the price is right, we can take it." Su Cheng thought. After thinking about it, he said.

Hutchison Whampoa, currently the most valuable piece of land is actually the piece of land in Hung Hom. If calculated based on market value, the piece of land in Hung Hom is worth nearly 30 billion Hong Kong dollars.

In Sioux City's previous life, Li Ka-shing not only built a super-large building called Huangpu Garden on this land, but also developed many commercial buildings and shopping malls.

It is the development value generated by this land that has always supported the development of his other businesses, eventually making him the richest man in Asia.

"Boss, do you want Hutchison Whampoa to be privatized?" Zhang Qizheng asked curiously.

"That's right, let me tell you another news. I came to the right time for my trip to the UK. I have found three Hutchison Whampoa shareholders in the past few days and acquired all 16.5% of their shares." Su Cheng smiled.

"Ah, let me do the math first. During this period, we have been absorbing scattered stocks in the market. As of the closing of the stock market yesterday, we held 22.8%, plus the 22.4% acquired by Huifeng Bank, and Boss, you have 16.5%, so don’t we already control 61.7%? Then boss, do we need to directly intervene in the board of directors of Hutchison Whampoa and then control Hutchison Whampoa?”

The more Zhang Qizheng calculated, the more surprised he became. Unexpectedly, his boss already controlled more than 60% of the stock. If nothing unexpected happened, he would basically have absolute control over Hutchison Whampoa.

"No, you continue to let Hutchison Whampoa operate normally. Call Hutchison Whampoa Chairman Wei Li and tell him that Tianhe Company will not interfere in Hutchison Whampoa's affairs. Hutchison Whampoa's scale is too big. If it is done now, If we force him away, it will not be easy for us to control such a huge company, so take your time." Su Cheng said directly.

The top management of Hutchison Whampoa are basically foreigners. If Tianyuan Company suddenly takes over, it will easily lead to many people resigning together. In this case, Hutchison Whampoa will be in chaos in a short time. This is not what he wants to see.

Its container terminals, shipyards, pharmaceuticals, retail businesses, etc. are quite unfamiliar to Tianyuan Company, which is just a financial investment company.

Although the Su Group has similar industries, the scale of the Su Group is too small and cannot be compared with that there.

Just like you were just running an old shabby hotel, and suddenly you were asked to manage a five-star hotel, the end result will definitely be a mess.

Therefore, this matter cannot be rushed.
