Chapter 172 The Rong family plans Wharf (2)

Xiangjiang area, Rong family villa.

"New Bijian is already starting to fight back."

Rong Zhenbang frowned and said.

Newbie Kin, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Jardine Matheson & Co., is also Chairman of the Board of Directors of Land Corporation and Wharf.

"How many shares did Li Chaoren promise to sell to the Rong family?"

Zhao Wenmu asked.

Li Chaoren still holds 20% of the shares of Wharf.

It is impossible that Rong Renyi did not take this into consideration when he started this battle for equity.

Even if Zhao Wenmu thought about it with his toes, he knew that they must have reached some kind of agreement.

Moreover, this matter is just history to him. In his previous life, Li Chaoren sold 10% of Wharf shares to Ship King, and he still knows this.

However, this time he miscalculated.

After all, the history he knows is only a result after the fact, and it may not be the same thing at all during the event.

"Li Chaoren? He didn't sell the shares to the Rong family?"

Rong Zhenbang said in surprise.

Zhao Wenmu was even more shocked!

Didn't Ship King and Superman have a private agreement?

He looked at Rong Renyi.

Rong Ren looked at his surprised eyes, and after a moment of astonishment, he said with a smile:

"I only talked to him sideways, and Superman said that his shares would not be sold to Jardine."

Well, only then did Zhao Wenmu realize that this was what happened!

The two big guys just reached a little tacit understanding that Li Chaoren would not support Jardine, that's all.

"Amu, how do you know that Uncle Superman owns Wharf shares?"

There are not many actual insiders about the battle for control of Wharf between Li Chaoren and Yihe. Ordinary Xiangjiang citizens have only heard a little bit of news based on rumors.

This has a lot to do with Li Chaoren's low-key and cautious behavior.

The question Zhao Wenmu asked confidently and naturally, "How many shares did Li Chaoren promise to sell to the Rong family?" Although it was a question, it conveyed two pieces of information very firmly.

First, Li Chaoren holds a lot of Wharf stocks.

Second, Li Chaoren agreed to sell Rongjia Wharf shares.

All he asked was how much he sold.

This is because Rong Zhenbang is not curious. Zhao Wenmu probably knows too much about the inside story among the rich and powerful people in Hong Kong.

However, before Zhao Wenmu could answer, Rong Zhenbang immediately said:

"Do you think Uncle Superman will agree to sell the Rong family shares?"

Rong Zhenbang is not a newbie in the shopping mall. Everyone has their own secrets, even those who are close to him cannot tell them.

He rashly asked Zhao Wenmu why he knew such inside information, and Zhao Wenmu was probably inconvenient to answer him.

Regardless of whether they refuse to answer or just make up an excuse, it will hurt their relationship.

"Yes, Amu, do you have any reason to ask Superman to sell his shares to me?"

Rong Renyi also sat up straight, looked at Zhao Wenmu and asked seriously.

Li Chaoren holds 20% of the shares, and the total of the two companies is 40%. In this way, the difficulty of increasing the shareholding to 51% will be greatly reduced.

He couldn't help but not be moved.

In the past, because the personal relationship with Li Chaoren was not that close, after all, in business, everyone has to make money, so he gave up the acquisition of Wharf equity from Li Chaoren after consideration.

However, Zhao Wenmu always has clever ideas that make him feel fresh and new.

He was so sure that he had some insider trading with Li Chaoren just now. Maybe he really had some different opinions?

Thinking of this, Rong Renyi's eyes became even more eager.

Zhao Wenmu thought for a moment and then answered:

"Mr. Rong, Hutchison Whampoa."

"Hutchison has a great attraction for Superman Li, and only you have the ability to help him eat Hutchison."

These two simple sentences echoed lightly in the huge study room.

For a moment, there was silence.

It was as if the air movement had stopped.

Rong Zhenyi and Zhao Jing, who were chatting animatedly in the corner, suddenly stopped and suddenly realized that the study room was eerily quiet.

The two women turned to look at the three people sitting around talking on the other side.

I saw Zhao Wenmu gently sipping the coffee in his hand.

Rong Zhenbang opened his eyes wide and remained motionless as if he was petrified.

Rong Ren frowned and stared out the window, not moving at all.

The two girls were suddenly so angry that they didn't dare to speak out.

After a while.

"Hutchison Whampoa."

Rong Zhenbang murmured.

"Hutchison Whampoa."

"Yes! Hutchison Whampoa!"

He stood up suddenly and said loudly.

Rong Zhenyi and Zhao Jing were so frightened that they trembled violently.

Hutchison Whampoa is one of the oldest foreign companies in Hong Kong, once second only to Jardine Matheson.

It is composed of Hutchison & Co. and Whampoa Dockyard, and is controlled by the British Qi Dezun family.

The Qi Dezun family was very ambitious in the 1960s, and at one time controlled more than 360 companies. Afterwards, the Hong Kong stock market rose sharply, allowing them to make huge profits.

They also saw the opportunity in Hong Kong where there were many people but little land, and they carried out land acquisitions on a large scale. They also moved the shipyard to Tsing Yi Island in Hong Kong, freeing up a lot of land for real estate development.

Unfortunately, Hutchison Whampoa's front was stretched too far at this time, and many of the companies it acquired were in financial trouble one after another. Although they made a lot of money in the stock market, they still could not fill this bottomless hole.

In 1973, first the Hong Kong stock market crash, and then the world energy crisis, plunged Hutchison Whampoa into financial crisis.

At this time, HSBC injected HK$150 million to rescue Hutchison Whampoa, on the condition that it obtained 33.65% of Hutchison's shares. HSBC became Hutchison's major shareholder, and Whampoa Company separated from Hutchison.

In 1977, Hutchison and Whampoa merged again, but the newly formed Hutchison Whampoa still suffered losses.

Even so, Hutchison Whampoa still has many high-quality assets, especially rich reserves of land resources.

Such a company has naturally attracted the covetousness of many Xiangjiang businessmen, and Li Chaoren is no exception.

In other words, Li Chaoren, who is best at real estate, is particularly enthusiastic.

If Li Chaoren wants to win Hutchison Whampoa, he will naturally need the full support of HSBC.

Rong Renyi has worked closely with HSBC for many years and is a member of the board of directors of HSBC, giving him a decisive voice.

Zhao Wenmu only needs to say the words "Hutchison Whampoa" and many things will be solved easily.

The Rong family father and son don't need to mention what happens next.

"Hutchison Whampoa is indeed very attractive to Superman. If he can eat Hutchison Whampoa, his Cheung Kong Holdings will firmly secure the top spot in Hong Kong!"

Rong Renyi sighed.

He hadn't thought about Hutchison Whampoa before.

Maybe Li Chaoren didn't expect it either.

Or maybe Li Chaoren thought of it, but had no way out.

But this is not important anymore. Regardless of whether Li Chaoren has thought about Hutchison or not, he is confident in persuading the other party to win over Hutchison.

Because Li Chaoren had no choice.

If God does not take it, he will suffer the consequences.

No one can refuse such a big pie.

If Li Chaoren wants to win over Hutchison, Rong Renyi's help is indispensable.

The Wings won Wharf, and Superman won Hutchison Whampoa.

What a win-win cooperation!

"Okay! Okay!"

Rongren clapped his hands and laughed, then dialed a number.

"Hey, Superman, this is Eininichi. Do you have time to have tea with me tomorrow?"
