Global Tycoon: You Call This A Small Achievement?

Is it possible that Cheung Kong Holdings is now in contact with Hutchison Whampoa?

He Zhou couldn't help but ignore the news brought by Li Bowen. It was impossible for a large transaction like this to be without any signs.

However, the two parties should not have reached an agreement at present, otherwise they would not have such a tacit understanding to restrain the rise in stock prices and avoid unnecessary speculation in the market.

"In this case, Hutchison Whampoa will let it go first and focus on buying the shares of Cheung Kong Holdings!" He Zhou was worried that things had changed and quickly ordered.

He remembered that Li Chaoren had completely completed the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa within this year, and before that, he had been quietly absorbing Hutchison Whampoa's stocks in preparation for taking over Hutchison Whampoa.

It can be said that Cheung Kong has been secretly preparing for this merger for three years. Once the merger is completed, the stock prices of both Hutchison Whampoa and Cheung Kong will surely skyrocket!

It has to be said that Li Chaoren is really cunning and extremely ambitious.

He was eyeing not only Hutchison Whampoa, but also Wharf. With the recovery of the real estate industry, the future of Xiangjiang Real Estate became increasingly clear.

As a Wharf with a large amount of land, its true value and future potential are far more than what you can see in front of you.

Wharf is the most prosperous and prime location on the Kowloon Peninsula. Although many of its infrastructures have gradually aged, as long as it is slightly renovated, it will immediately have a bright future, and the money will come to you as if it has grown legs.

Why did the chartering king turn to HSBC in the acquisition of Wharf? To be precise, he turned to his old friend Shen Bi to obtain a loan of more than one billion yuan?

The fundamental reason is that it is not just the chartering king who is eyeing the fat piece of Wharf. Li Chaoren, who took the first step in the merger and acquisition of British capital, also covets this piece of fat.

But in the end, he was intimidated by the billion-dollar loan the charter king obtained from HSBC, and he didn't want to lose both sides in a fight with the other party, so he chose to withdraw.

"Boss, are you going to use up all the remaining bullets and bet on Yangtze River Industries?" Li Bowen wiped the hot sweat from his forehead. He didn't expect that his boss would play such a big game, watching more than 200 million yuan of funds continue to flow. He felt a little uneasy when he spent all his money and turned it into a bargaining chip.

"No, set aside 30 million and bet on Wharf." He Zhou shook his head and said solemnly.

Of course he wouldn't hang from a tree.

Cheung Kong Holdings' acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa is a tug-of-war. If the other party announces some mixed news, causing the stock price to plummet, then there is a very high chance that it will liquidate its position.

After all, a large part of his funds come from HSBC's capital allocation. It is impossible for HSBC to follow him crazy. Once the stock price drops to a certain level, it will activate the regulations in financial leverage capital allocation and forcefully close the position.

Compared with this thrilling acquisition, the change of hands of Wharf is less risky and safer.

The current share price of Wharf is only HK$50, which has set a record low in the past ten years. It has been trading sideways for more than half a year and cannot fall at all.

Wharf's assets are all real, just like another "Dakang Animal Husbandry". The total assets are more than the total market value, and the market is obviously undervalued.

From He Zhou's perspective, let alone HK$14 per share, it would be reasonable for Wharf's stock price to rise three to five times.

More than ten years ago, Wharf's market value once exceeded 3.5 billion. Now, more than ten years later, it only has a market value of less than 1.4 billion. Is this ridiculous?

The land in Hong Kong will not depreciate in value. Even if the Hong Kong government has proposed the idea of ​​reclamation and land reclamation in recent years, it cannot shake this general trend.

In later generations, Singapore increased its land area by nearly one-third through land reclamation. While Xiangjiang, also an international financial metropolis and one of the Four Little Dragons, started land reclamation earlier than Singapore, but the new additions The area is nothing compared to Singapore.

This is not because Hong Kong’s basic economic conditions and financial strength are not as good as Singapore’s, and it cannot afford the vast land reclamation. The main reason is that Hong Kong real estate interest groups are unwilling to suffer losses and continue to put pressure on the Hong Kong government!

The real estate tycoons don't care about the life and death of the people at the bottom, nor do they care whether they can afford a house. Anyway, no matter how high the house price is, there will always be people who can afford it.

As long as the scarcity attribute of real estate in Xiangjiang is maintained, housing prices will continue to rise, real estate stocks will continue to rise, and leeks can be harvested effortlessly.

On the contrary, once large-scale land reclamation occurs, it will inevitably shake the land and housing prices in Xiangjiang.

...Please give me flowers...

Originally, a monopoly could easily make money, but now you let them make hard-earned money? Who would really want to!

It is precisely for this reason that the Hong Kong government has been hesitant and procrastinated on the issue of land reclamation. From project establishment to construction to completion, it has been impossible to complete a project in less than ten years. Singapore's efficiency is at least five Times that of Xiangjiang.

The reason why He Zhou pays more attention to Wharf is that there is not much room for the decline of Wharf's stock price, and there is a basis for a sharp rise. Even if the charter king cannot complete the acquisition of Wharf, he still has many ways to reduce the stock price of Wharf. Speculate and make huge profits.

Again, the market value of Wharf exceeded 3.5 billion more than ten years ago, and now it is less than 1.4 billion. Will the land value in Xiangjiang depreciate?

Once this layer of window paper is pierced, it is completely reasonable for Jiulongpo's stock price to rise again.

The main reason why the market does not notice this now is that they have become accustomed to the decline in Wharf's stock price.

A stock has not risen back after falling for ten consecutive years. Even if smart people know that it has fallen below the bottom line of value, they dare not easily buy it.

Who knows how many years it will continue to fall? Who knows whether you will be trapped when you enter the market?

Only those with great wisdom and courage dare to brave lightning and storms and sail towards the center of the whirlpool with thousands of sails.

Now, there are three wise and courageous people, one is the chartering king who has been planning for a long time, and the other is Li Chaoren, who is preparing to take the first shot of acquiring British capital.

And the last one is He Zhou, who has the vision and perspective of future generations. He is willing to take risks and plans to steal a piece of fat in two transactions that are enough to be recorded in the annals of Hong Kong's financial history.

"However, if we spend another 30 million, the outstanding shares of Wharf in our hands will exceed 9%!" Li Wenbo is really worried that his boss might be crazy and plan to acquire Wharf. ?

"The more Wharf stocks the better, otherwise why would I ask you to prepare so many anonymous accounts!"

He Zhou didn't know what he was thinking. He was already imagining Li Chaoren and the chartered boat king eating meat, and he was addicted to the wonderful taste of the soup. .
