Hong Kong Island's wealthy era

Chapter 33
In the past half month, the old man Lei Liquan had interacted with the most was Li Mingze.When he wasn't studying stock market countermeasures during working hours, he would always meet with Lei Liquan in his spare time, either to drink tea or play golf.

Lei Liquan didn't like such intensive socializing with the old gentleman. Although he was about the same age as him mentally, he was younger physically.

After a long period of preparation, the China Gas matter should be settled soon, otherwise it would be really unbearable.

Only by settling this matter can Lei Liquan resume his normal work and life schedule. Otherwise, the old gentleman would invite him to tea or other activities every day.

In fact, Li Mingze was urging Lei Liquan.

Xu Wen reported to Lei Liquan in the office about the acquisition of Hong Kong Electric in the past half month.

After chatting with Xu Wen last time, Lei Liquan immediately entrusted Wanguo Baotong Bank as the acquisition consultant to handle this acquisition. Xu Wen kept an eye on this matter throughout the process.

Xu Wen replied: "So far, we have acquired 18.00% of Hong Kong Electric's shares."

Hearing this number, Lei Liquan was a little surprised and asked: "So fast? I don't think Hong Kong Electric's stock price fluctuates very much!"

It only took half a month in total for Lei Liquan to entrust Wanguo Baotong Bank to operate it.

Xu Wen smiled and said: "Wanguo Baotong did not buy goods on the open market, but directly contacted several shareholders to acquire their shares at a premium of 20.00%."

It turned out to be a black disk, no wonder.

"And they have all signed a confidentiality agreement and are not allowed to disclose the information. They have an obligation to keep it confidential before we announce the information."

"The efficiency is just different!"

Xu Wen explained: "One of the main reasons for this operation is the status of Wanguo Baotong. He went to shareholders to acquire it and it was a premium acquisition. Most people would not refuse. In addition, Hong Kong Electric's stock price has been average in recent years. It can have a If the price is good, I will naturally give it a try.”

"If we come to acquire it ourselves, let alone whether we can negotiate it, HK Electric will probably know our actions as soon as we turn around."

"It seems that we have made the right decision in going to Wanguo Baotong Bank to operate it."

Of course, the influence of Wan Guo Baotong Bank also costs money, such as handling fees and interest.But as long as you get things done, it's all small money.

"But it's still too slow. Li Sheng can't wait any longer. They are asking me for morning tea again today. You can go to Wanbaobaotong in person later and raise your sign."

"At what price will the placard be raised?"

"You discuss it first and then notify me."

……

The next morning, Lei Liquan was invited to meet with Li Mingze.

After breakfast, the two went to the Towngas headquarters on Java Road in North Point to discuss their anti-takeover plan.

But something unexpected happened. As soon as he arrived at the Towngas headquarters, assistant Tian Yun reported an unexpected situation to him, and all plans had to be suspended.

……

Hong Kong Electric's chief executive Connor made an appointment with Lei Liquan.

What is this for?You have to see it to find out.

In its original history, Hong Kong Electric was acquired by Land & Land in 82. Then in 85, Land & Land faced financial difficulties and was sold to Li Chaoren.

Before Hongkong Land acquired HK Electric, HK Electric had actually established a joint venture with Li Chaoru on November 1980, 11, International City Company, to jointly develop many of the lands owned by HK Electric. Li Chaoru also made considerable profits from it.Hong Kong Electric Group is the second largest power company in Hong Kong. It monopolizes the power supply on Hong Kong Island and owns a large amount of high-quality land.

Although it is not as large as Hutchison Whampoa and other four major foreign companies, due to its stable profits, as long as Hong Kong's economy improves and real estate booms in a few years, the total market value of Hong Kong Electric will reach several billion Hong Kong dollars, making it one of the top ten companies in Hong Kong. One of the companies.

Hong Kong Electric is the only company among listed companies that does not have family control. A few British-owned managers have always controlled the board of directors. Except for the annual shareholders' meeting, there is basically no force to check and balance the management.As long as serious losses are not incurred, Hong Kong Electric's Taipan can be said to be doing the right thing.

It's a really fat piece of meat, and it's easy to chew.

In the private room of the Peninsula Hotel, Lei Liquan and Connor sat opposite each other, complimenting each other and saying some useless words.

"I heard that Lei Sheng invested in Hong Kong Electric in the open market?" Connor suddenly changed his tone and said.

When he heard that someone was trying to raise HK Electric shares in the open market, Taipan Connor felt a little uncomfortable.

But they are just part-time workers.Although his annual salary is millions, he can be said to be a proper working emperor in Hong Kong.

But faced with this kind of acquisition worth hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, it is a bit powerless. Of course, you can also take the initiative to invite British capital to take over.

Although Wan Guo Baotong's security guards were strict, Connor still found out after many inquiries that it was Lei Liquan of the Lei family.After weighing many factors, they decided to meet Lei Liquan.

Lei Liquan smiled and said nothing, thinking that there were still holes in the confidentiality work.In fact, it is normal. During the acquisition process of Wanguo Baotong, I came into contact with countless small and medium-sized shareholders.The more people you come into contact with, the more likely you will be exposed.

Seeing that Lei Liquan did not deny it, Connor continued: "Lei Sheng, HK Electric has been operating independently over the years, and its profits have been increasing every year. If Lei Sheng just wants to invest, I am very welcome, but if Lei Sheng wants to personally When it comes to business operations, I’m worried that the company’s interests may be damaged because I’m not familiar with the business.”

Lei Liquan smiled and said: "I acquired HK Electric naturally because I am optimistic about the current management. If you want to ask this question, I can say it directly. I am not interested in managing HK Electric. I am only interested in the large amount of land owned by HK Electric. I am interested in the property, and I hope we can have more beneficial cooperation!”

Connor nodded and agreed: "As long as the price is right, there will be no problem."

Connor also understood that Lei Liquan could not just want the land, and he would certainly not let go of control of Hong Kong Electric.

"Don't worry, the price is absolutely fair, and I can guarantee that as long as Mr. Connor is in good health and does not make any major mistakes in his work, I will support Mr. Connor in sitting in the top class position in the next five years." Lei Liquan, in order to stabilize Hong Kong Deng’s current management has also made a commitment.

Hong Kong Electric is a large-scale people's livelihood enterprise in Hong Kong. If the loss of management leads to trouble in Hong Kong Electric, the Hong Kong government will definitely intervene.

Connor nodded, quite satisfied with Lei Liquan's promise. As long as the other party did not forcibly interfere with the company's operations, they could accept appropriate suggestions.

In fact, Lei Liquan is now the major shareholder of HK Electric and has taken the initiative. He simply opened the skylight and talked about the store, saying: "Mr. Connor, so far, I have acquired 18.00% of HK Electric's shares. Since I want to invest in shares, wouldn’t it be better to give this money to the company and use it for the future development of HK Electric?”

It is also an acquisition. No matter how much money is spent on acquiring stocks in the market, it will only make the shareholders cheaper and will not do any good to the company.But if the company increases shares to a certain person, the money will go into the company's account and be used for company development. Isn't that great?

If the company has a major shareholder, it is very easy to be rejected, because this will dilute his equity and harm his interests.

Connor also smiled and said nothing, as if he was making conditions, waiting for Lei Liquan to give more practical conditions.

But Lei Liquan ignored it and continued: "I also need Hong Kong Electric to transfer 13.6% of the shares of Towngas to me at a fair price, or promise not to transfer it to any third party before I join the board of directors of Hong Kong Electric."

Hearing this, Connor was a little shocked, but he seemed to understand something?
"If Mr. Connor can do this, I will propose to the board of directors that Mr. Connor be given a raise."

There was nothing Lei Liquan could do, it seemed like he was trying to bribe Connor.If Connor does not agree to the private equity increase plan, Lei Liquan will have to spend more money in the public market to control HK Electric.
