I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

  Chapter 476 [End of taking the Wharf lightly! 】

  Wu Xianshuo heard the words, took out a kit with him, and opened it;

  I saw it said: Follow the uncles to watch more, listen more, learn more! Also, no matter what price Jardine offers, we must be 3 Hong Kong dollars higher per share than him, and all of it must be in cash.

  Wu Xianshuo passed the note to everyone. After reading it, everyone was confident!

   Jardine quoted 50 Hong Kong dollars per share, but all of them were not cash, but stocks and bonds;

  Even if Wu Guangyao’s side puts out 45 Hong Kong dollars a share of cash, there is a high probability that he will win!

  This is also where Wu Guangyao worries about this team, that is, he is not willing to spend money;

  Only Wu Guangyao knows, it doesn’t matter if you spend hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, the value of Wharf is immeasurable!

  As for calling Wu Xianshuo, who is still studying, to replace him, Wu Guangyao also wants him to have some contact with these senior leaders;

  After all, accidents can happen at any time!

  March 1st, Saturday afternoon.

  Wu Xianshuo held a press conference on behalf of the Wu family and announced that in the name of the family, 900 million Hong Kong dollars in cash would be used to acquire 17 million Wharf stocks at 53 Hong Kong dollars per share, raising the family’s holdings to 49%;

  The acquisition period is only Monday and Tuesday. In addition, no purchase of Wharf shares in the hands of Jardine Matheson and Land Land.

   "Master Wu, are you still studying?" At the end of the press conference, Wu Xianshuo has obviously become the focus of reporters.

  Wu Guangyao's industry is big and light, everyone knows, who can succeed this huge consortium?

  This is something that everyone on Hong Kong Island is curious about. This acquisition war can be regarded as the largest and most influential acquisition since the opening of the port on Hong Kong Island;

  But Wu Guangyao let his son replace him. Isn’t this the answer?

Wu Xianshuo said mildly: "Just call me Mr. Wu Xianshuo, you can also call me Xiao Wu; I am indeed studying, I am a senior at Harvard, and I am about to graduate! This time I returned to Hong Kong because the acquisition was a family acquisition, and my father hoped that Family representatives and uncles participated together."

   "Then set the purchase price at 53 Hong Kong dollars per share this time. Whose idea was it?" a reporter asked quickly, for fear of being preempted.

  "It is the result of the negotiation of the acquisition team. My father is not on Hong Kong Island, and I just came to learn!"

  Then, reporters took turns taking turns, and some even asked sharp questions: “Mr. Xiao Wu, this acquisition is the first time a Chinese has acquired a large British company. It has greatly increased our Chinese personality. What do you think of this?”

  This reporter is obviously not particular about it, and deliberately provokes a confrontation between Chinese and British capital.

Wu Xianshuo finally did not disappoint Wu Guangyao in the United States, and continued to gently say: "We do not have as many as you think. Over the years, my father has acquired too many companies from various countries, including Japan, the United Kingdom, France, the United States and other countries; To be honest, I personally think that these are just a manifestation of commercial behavior. Our original intention was to expand the company's operations. We have never thought of anything else."

  A group of reporters did not expect that the young Wu Xianshuo was so polite and courteous, and they all sighed that Wu Guangyao had a successor!

  A group of Wu Guangyao's staff members also gave a sigh of relief. Rong Bensheng, who was sitting next to Wu Xianshuo, wanted to take this question over. He didn't expect Wu Xianshuo to give him a look, indicating that he would not mess around.

  Jihe Foreign Bank Meeting Room

   "Damn it!" Henry Keswick did not expect that there would be no hope of success in the end.

  A group of executives are silent. In the face of absolute strength, it is really difficult to make a difference!

  For a long time, Henry Keswick seemed to have made a lot of determination, and he also relaxed a lot.

  "Manager Niubijian, you immediately arrange for the staff to work overtime overnight, divide the stocks into small amounts, and then temporarily store them in the brokerage house and agency company we have handed over, and cash out immediately! The more you sell, the more you make an appointment!"

   "Yes, Taipan! But the Wu family only bought 17 million shares in total, I'm afraid they will be collected soon."

  Henry Keswick nodded, there is still some self-knowledge;

  Most of the wharf holdings are Chinese, which is not good for Jardine!

  So, once the Wu family initiates the same conditions, these shareholders will also choose the Wu family instead of Yihe.

"It's okay! The stock market is hot, we can definitely find opportunities to sell high prices; if we do not choose to throw away, then once the market is cold, Wu Guangyao may have to privatize the Wharf, and the stock in our hands will not depreciate by then. I know how much. So, while some investors are still dreaming of getting rich, we have to empty the Wharf stocks in our hands, and then use the money to rebuild several buildings in the Central District. "Henry has calmed down, now that we have lost the game. Set, then it's time for Jardine to retreat.

  At this time, the senior staff of Jardines could say that not only did they not look down upon Henry Keswick, but they felt that Henry Keswick did a good job!

  Whoever you are, it may not be as good as Henry!

  But the enemy is really powerful!

  On Monday, the stock market opened in the morning, but since the Wharf Group’s stock was suspended last Friday, it could not be listed on the exchange;

  So, the Wu family team decided to take charge of the transaction through a stockbroker.

  Actually, Jardine Matheson issued a notice one day earlier than the Wu family. If the positions are exchanged, the Wu family will issue the announcement first. I am afraid that the acquisition can be completed through a stockbroker early the next morning and announced success;

  However, as soon as Jardine Matheson announced the acquisition news, securities experts issued advice: Before the Wu family did not respond, it is best to hold stocks and sit still;

  Moreover, most of the holdings are Chinese. They have long been dissatisfied with the way Jardines manages the Wharf. They naturally hope that the Wu family can win this contest.

  This is the fact, at 8 am, the Wu family began to announce the acquisition;

  At 9 o'clock in the morning, the Wu family announced the end of the largest acquisition war on Hong Kong Island. The Wu family won the victory and held 49% of the shares of Wharf Group.

  At the same time, Jardine Matheson announced that it had conceded defeat.

  The battle of Wharf, the Wu family can be said to be a stable win from the beginning, and the win can even be said to be easy!

  Unlike Bao Yugang in his previous life, he has also experienced some twists and turns:

  For example, when borrowing money from HSBC, HSBC lent 2 billion Hong Kong dollars to Bao Yugang;

  For example, several days after Landland announced the acquisition, the Bao Yugang family has not yet come up with an acquisition plan. They are all waiting for Bao Yugang to return to Hong Kong.

  At this time, Wu Guangyao's deposits in China Everbright Bank amounted to more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, so the HSBC relationship was not used at all!

  HSBC even took the initiative to approach Wu Xianshuo, with definite rhetoric, and could mobilize 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars to lend to the Wu family at any time;

  HSBC did so, naturally, it was worried about the unfamiliar relationship with Wu Guangyao!

  The battle itself was not very exciting. The whole process of Yihe Yangxing was crushed and beaten by the Wu family;

  But the media disagrees with the view of ‘not wonderful’, so they have expanded the effect of this acquisition!

  Of course, it’s not all praises to the Wu family, there are also ‘negative’s:

  Some media just said that Jardine Matheson took advantage of Wu Guangyao’s visit and launched a surprise attack. Although the young Wu Xianshuo was quite capable, he was still fooled;

  Why do you say that?

  It turned out that the media pointed out that Jardine Matheson secretly sold 10 million Wharf Wharf shares at a high price of 53 Hong Kong dollars, with a profit of at least 300 million Hong Kong dollars;

  While the Wu family did not need to spend 53 Hong Kong dollars in cash to buy, even if it was 45 Hong Kong dollars in cash, Hong Kong Islanders were willing to sell it to the Wu family. However, Wu Xianshuo was so young that the Wu family lost 130 million Hong Kong dollars in vain.

  So, this media used the title of “The Ship King’s Family Lost Creation and Winning, and the Jardine International Company Smiles and Breaks His Arms”!

   "It's sensational! Xianshuo, these are reporters' tricks, don't care!" Rong Ben was afraid that Wu Xianshuo would become a backer at a young age, so he comforted.

Wu Xianshuo smiled and said: "Uncle Rong filtered! I was originally a student. No matter how much the media said, I will only accept it seriously. Besides, there are media saying that Jardine Matheson lost to a'child'. !"

   "Haha! Don't bother about it. This media needs readers, so naturally you can talk nonsense by the way! Go, I will take you to the Wharf Group to meet you today."
