Hong Kong Island's wealthy era

Chapter 97 Wharf ([-])
Due to the continuous accumulation of funds from all parties, Wharf's stock price was like a wild horse, soaring all the way.In just one and a half months, it reached 50 yuan, which is out of history.

Lei Liquan had to sigh that because of his joining, this era will be more exciting.

At this time, Wharf's shareholdings became: Jardine Matheson Land Company, holding 28.1%; Lei Liquan was already the second largest shareholder, holding 27%; Li Chaoren and Ma De followed closely Afterwards, the two held approximately 10.5% to 8% of their shares respectively.The four parties hold a total of 73.3%.

There were not many shares in the hands of the public anymore, so Lei Liquan instructed Xu Wen to stop collecting money.The current stock price is no longer in his interest, and it also prevents Jardine from overturning the table.

When Lei Liquan stopped collecting money, there seemed to be no movement from all directions.Lei Liquan thought to himself that he should keep making moves in private, and there would definitely be ways to combine vertical and horizontal forces.

……

February 2th, the beginning of spring.

There are only two days left before the Chinese New Year, and Lei Liquan is preparing to give himself a holiday to celebrate the New Year. He has worked hard for a year and spend time with his family.

But just before noon, he received a call and someone asked him to have tea at the Oriental Mandarin Hotel. Lei Liquan had to keep the appointment.

It seems that there will be no peace of mind again this year, and there will definitely be a storm in the "Four Meetings" market.Because Lei Liquan was waiting for the strong man in his mind.He is strong himself, and there is a strong man standing behind him.

At noon, Lei Liquan came to the Oriental Mandarin Hotel at the invitation of the charter king.

When they met the Charter Queen, the two parties went straight to the topic without too much politeness.

The charter king said directly: "Yesterday I had dinner with Shen Bi, the senior manager of HSBC, and he revealed to me that Mader seems to have reached an agreement with Wharf."

It’s definitely not a good sign for the charter king to be so direct.From the charter king's words, Lei Liquan had a hunch that the Wharf's equity had undergone major changes in the past few days, or that it was about to change.

But Lei Liquan didn't show any expression.In this Wharf blockade, Lei Liquan holds 27% of the Wharf shares. No matter how the situation changes, he can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. It just depends on how much profit he makes, or whether he can achieve his ultimate goal.

Lei Liquan asked slowly: "Have they reached an equity transfer agreement?"

"Yes."

After hearing this, Lei Liquan smiled and said: "This Mr. Mader is very smart and very cunning. He deserves to be an elite person on whom the sun never sets. This method is very clever. So why is Bao Sheng looking for me today?"

The Charter King said: "Made holds Wharf shares. Once transferred, Jardine's holdings in Wharf will reach one-third of the voting rights. It is impossible to force the palace. Aren't you anxious? "

Lei Liquan smiled and replied: "I think Bao Sheng asked me to have tea today, not just to chat. In fact, it doesn't matter whether Jardines controls Wharf or not, and it won't affect my investment. Wharf and the like It’s a high-quality company and it’s very cost-effective to hold the stock for the long term.”

The Charter King also smiled and said: "Shen Bi also revealed one thing. The Jardine Group will step up its actions and they will take the initiative to initiate a stock repurchase offer at any cost."

But the charter king had more to say: "This morning I had an appointment with Li Chaoren for morning tea and negotiated with him to acquire his shares in Wharf, but he rejected my price on the spot."

"Really? That Bao wanted to buy my equity first?" Lei Liquan didn't expect that Li Chaoren didn't become a rebel.

This should not be because he is loyal, but because he did not maximize his interests.

The net property assets of Wharf are enough to keep a real estate company prosperous for half a century. Li Chaoren should also be able to see this and would not agree casually.

The Charter King said slowly: "Mr. Shen Bi should be drinking tea with Li Chaoren at this time. I think they should be communicating happily."

When Lei Liquan heard the news, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, thinking that something was wrong, but since the shipping kings came to each other's door today, they must be seeking cooperation.

The charter king seemed to have noticed Lei Liquan's change in his heart and said, "So I want to talk about cooperation with Lei Sheng."

Lei Liquan had to agree, otherwise he would be abandoned because of his tough words, and he would not be able to enter the game or get on the table.

Lei Liquan smiled and nodded, indicating that they could talk.

The Charter King said: "Then let's go find Mr. Shen Bi and Li Sheng and sit down together to talk?"

----

February 2th.Lunar New Year's eve.

"What is the purpose of buying land in exchange for Wharf?" - "Tiantian Economic News"

The editor analyzed the past share exchange processes of Jardine Matheson, Land and Milk Company in a lengthy article.

This time, in order to prevent Lei Liquan and Li Chaoren from attacking Wharf, Jardine Matheson resorted to the same old trick and once again used the share swap method to buy back Wharf shares.

So, can Land Corporation finally win like it did with the Dairy Farm a few years ago?Will shareholders still agree?
The newspaper analyzed from an economic perspective that during the Land Milk Incident, Jardine purchased the milk company in exchange for shares. However, during the subsequent stock market crash, Land's share price plummeted, and Jardine bought back shares at this time.

Therefore, Jardine actually used shareholders' money to acquire the milk company, which ultimately caused heavy losses to the shareholders. Finally, they called on people to be wary of Jardine Group's behavior of cutting leeks.

All Hong Kong citizens were attracted by the blockbuster news of "land purchase for milk". All Hong Kong citizens were talking about it with gusto. The atmosphere was even more lively than the Chinese New Year, as if a Spring Festival drama was being staged for the citizens of Hong Kong.

The "Four Meetings" stock trading market in Xiangjiang ignited the flames of war at the same time. The hearts of investors holding Wharf stocks accelerated, while those who did not hold shares watched from the sidelines, as if today was not New Year's Eve.In fact, this long-simmering takeover war in the stock market has broken out since yesterday, but it will take some time for the news to spread.

As television and newspaper reports spread, the drama of the blockade began to enter the public eye, and in just one day it became known to everyone.

The media is also speculating on the acquisition methods of Lei Liquan and Li Chaoren.

"Will Lei Liquan and Li Chaoren use cash?"Or use the same share exchange method? 》

"Guess, is it possible that the Jardine Department will be drained from the bottom of the cauldron?" 》

The controlling shareholder of Land is the Jardine Matheson Group, but the Jardine Group’s holding ratio in Land is only [-]-[-]%.

If Lei Liquan sells out his Wharf stocks, exchanges them all for Land shares, and then turns his gun to target the weakened Land, wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone?
..............................

Time goes back to one day ago, at night.

The current share price of Land is not like it was in the past, which was a 'falsely high' price created by self-hyping.Due to the implementation of Land's Central redevelopment plan, the stock price is quite strong, and there are still quite a few shareholders willing to exchange.

In this case, Lei Liquan, Charter King and Li Chaoren sat down to study countermeasures.

"It seems that we have all underestimated the determination of Land Company." Said the chartering king.

"Bao Sheng, Li Sheng, do you have any good ideas?"

"Then we have to fight to the death. Then raise the purchase price to 80 yuan. If that doesn't work, raise it to 100 yuan. I don't believe that you can't get a controlling stake by throwing money at it."

The chartered boat king showed his domineering attitude, revealing his kingly aura and completely convincing people with his strength.But this is not what Lei Liquan wants to see.

Similarly, Li Chaoren was also shocked. Why not make a profit and go out?
How can Lei Liquan compete with the world's richest man?It certainly cannot be stopped directly, it can only be persuaded with benefits.

"Sheng Bao, what do you think about us going to stop the Land Company?"

"You mean exchanging shares?" the chartering king asked.

Li Chaoren thought for a while and said: "As the saying goes, don't chase the enemy when you are poor. I'm afraid that blocking Yihe in this way will cause a 'fish to the death' counterattack, which will outweigh the gain."

"What Li Sheng said is exactly what I'm worried about!"

Lei Liquan took a sip of tea and continued: "Actually, our ultimate goal is not to acquire the Land Company, but to force Jardine Matheson to be 'willing' to us acquiring Wharf. And the price is the minimum."

After hearing this, the charter king fell into deep thought. Should he consider the gains and losses, and whether the risks are controllable?
Lei Liquan and Li Chaoren are both looking at the Charter King and want to get his opinion.

After a long time, the chartering king slowly said: "I agree, you can proceed as planned. I will go to HSBC for support."

..........................................

Just after the morning, a shocking news came out of the "Sihui" market in the afternoon, leaving everyone confused.

In the morning, Lei Liquan exchanged all 27% of his Wharf shares for Land Company shares.But with this share exchange, the shareholding of Wharf held by Jardine Matheson reached 55.1% in one morning, completing the absolute controlling stake.

Citizens exclaimed: The drama has just begun, how come it is over?The citizens who had been talking about it all shook their heads.At this point, Jardine Matheson's holding of Wharf has been stabilized.

But the drama has just begun, how could it end so quickly?
Citizens were surprised to find that Land Corporation had fallen into a trap, waiting for hunters to harvest their prey.

Jardine Matheson's shareholding in Land Company has been reduced from the original 45.2% to 27.4%, and it has fallen into another danger.

For the last time, the citizens of Xiangjiang were talking a lot, and newspapers predicted the true god.

The Jardines Group were also horrified to discover that they were no longer the major shareholders of the Land Company. An associated company named "Bao Li Lei", accounting for 27.6% of the shares, successfully held the position of the major shareholder of the Land Company.

Although it exceeds the Jardine Matheson Group by only 0.2%, the major shareholder is the major shareholder and cannot be questioned.

Some people will definitely question why Li Chaoren's shares were not exchanged for shares. In fact, it was because Lei Liquan and the others did not want to smash the dining table and leave room for Jardine.

However, the 'Bao Li Lei' joint venture company did not give the Jardines Group any breathing space at all. It issued a tender offer for the Land Company in the Sihui Trading Market that afternoon.

Jardine, which has a history of more than 100 years in Xiangjiang, has encountered the biggest crisis in its history. This has eventually become the most discussed topic at the New Year's Eve reunion dinner among Xiangjiang residents.

That night, Lei Liquan had New Year's Eve dinner with his family at home, and then hurried to the "Bao Li Lei" company.Lei Liquan felt very sorry for his son because he couldn't spend the first New Year's Eve together.

Lei Juehua and Li Xianzhen expressed their understanding and support.
