Zheng Yaoyang smiled and watched Wells hurriedly get up and go outside to make a call.
Today is different from the past. It is no longer as difficult for him to acquire a listed company as it was last year.
He also believes that Wells and HSBC will make the right choice.
Zheng Yaoyang touched his chin and suddenly realized that he seemed more and more like those bullies who bullied the market.
But then again, he is not a good person to begin with. Wealth and status are a passport for bad people, so there is no reason to use it.
Not long after, Wells came back from the phone call, wiped the sweat off his forehead, picked up the cold drink on the table, and took a big sip: "It's really hot outside."
He sat opposite Zheng Yaoyang again and said slightly: "Mr. Zheng, our chairman agreed to sell the telecommunications shares, but it will take a while, when will it end, and when will it be sold at a 50% premium?"
"Of course no problem."
Zheng Yaoyang showed a smile on his face, clasped his hands together, and said gratefully: "Wells, thank you for your efforts in our friendship."
Wells said in a sincere tone: "Zheng, I have always cherished our friendship."
"I am convinced of this." Zheng Yaoyang looked like he had met his confidant.
The two shook hands and patted shoulders. People who didn't know better thought they were close friends.
In fact, both of us know very well that there will be encounters in the mountains and rivers, so it is appropriate to stop and don't make the relationship too rigid.
HSBC raised the price appropriately, and Zheng Yaoyang readily agreed, so that everyone's face was saved.
At 2:53, the Hong Kong stock market closes.
Xiangjiang Telecom, which had been trading sideways for nearly an hour, suddenly jumped 18 points in an instant, with an increase of 32 points that day.
The closing price of the day stopped at 4.62 yuan, an increase of 1.12 yuan, and the latest market value was 1.853 billion.
At 3:10 p.m., ten minutes after the market close, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange suddenly issued a corporate announcement, and Xiangjiang Telecom was once again flagged. The placard was raised by Bahrain Securities.
As soon as the news came out, Hong Kong stockholders were in an uproar.
A listed company was held up twice in one day. Sima Zhao's intentions were known to everyone, and someone was definitely planning to seize control of Xiangjiang Telecom.
The management of Xiangjiang Telecom responded quickly, submitted a 16-page document, applied to the China Securities Regulatory Commission for an anti-hostile takeover corporate plan, and initiated suspension protection measures.
The sudden acquisition puts them in a passive situation. They need time to find out the situation and understand the other party's information before they can take corresponding countermeasures.
Applying for a trading suspension delays the other party's acquisition process, and also makes it easier for you to prepare funds and increase your shares.
Because they also know very well that Xiangjiang Telecom has been listed for too long and the proportion of liquid shares is too high. As long as they contact some shareholders and then purchase stocks from the secondary market, it is very easy to seize control without investing capital.
It's just that once the report was applied for, it aroused abuse from countless stock investors. They didn't care whether Telecom would change owners.
If Xiangjiang Telecom is suspended tomorrow, how can they eat scraps between the two tigers?
Looking at the listed companies that were acquired in the past, as long as investors were brave enough and exploited every opportunity, they could easily earn dozens of profits.
Just like the original Wharf War, Bao Yugang spent 3 billion Hong Kong dollars and lasted for more than two weeks. Many people made a lot of money in that carnival.
That night, Xiangjiang Telecom Chairman Lin Defu quickly contacted friends from all walks of life and asked them who was the boss behind Dawning Fund.
Although it is currently unclear whether the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will agree to their application for a trading suspension.
However, even if you agree to suspend trading, you can only delay it for a few days, and you can't keep it from opening for the rest of your life.
Lin Defu needs to figure out who the visitor is and talk to him directly so that he can solve the problem once and for all.
It just made him strange that Neon Dawn Fund seemed to appear suddenly overnight, with no historical data or business cases.
As for Japan, Lin Defu was not familiar with it. Even if he asked someone to investigate, it would take time.
Lin Defu put aside his doubts for the time being and contacted the top ten major shareholders holding telecommunications stocks.
Although the proportion of outstanding shares is as high as 58%, as long as shareholders stand with him, Sugon Fund will still have to shed a layer of skin even if it succeeds in the acquisition.
The more I called, the more panicked I became. Most of the people who answered the phone were assistants or deputies of stockholders.
The shareholders found various excuses and refused to talk to him on the phone, and the assistant's attitude was also ambiguous.
"Pushing to the street, who is it?"
Lin Defu ended the last call, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he threw the phone angrily with a big hand.
The phone hit the ground and immediately fell into pieces, with parts and batteries scattered on the ground.
No matter how slow his reaction was, he now knew that someone had contacted the shareholders in advance.
That man was rich and powerful, so shareholders did not dare to be enemies with him or reveal their names.
Suddenly, Lin Defu's assistant hurried into the office without knocking.
Lin Defu's eyes widened and he shouted angrily: "There are no rules. When you come in, don't you know you knock on the door first?"
The assistant was stunned and quickly apologized, then said: "Director Lin, I just received a letter from the front desk, saying that it contains something you want to know."
"Bring it here."
Lin Defu wanted to open the envelope immediately to resolve his doubts, but was hurriedly stopped by his assistant.
The assistant put on white gloves and used an umbrella to cover his face. He was ready before opening the envelope.
There was only one letter inside.
Lin Defu glared at him and said angrily: "Your third uncle's life is not worth the effort of others."
The assistant rubbed the back of his head and laughed sarcastically: "I've seen it all on TV, so be careful and you can never make a big mistake."
Lin Defu opened the envelope, his face gradually becoming serious.
[Zheng Yaoyang established Jingfangli in Tokyo, distributed the proceeds from dividends, and established a Dawn Fund.]
There is only this sentence on the paper.
Lin Defu asked: "Who sent the letter?"
The assistant shook his head: "A bad boy came downstairs, saying that someone gave him five hundred yuan to help deliver a letter."
After a while, Lin Defu's face looked uncertain, and his assistant couldn't help but wonder: "Director Lin, what is written in the letter?"
Lin Defu glanced at him and didn't intend to hide it. He handed over the note and slumped in the chair helplessly.
The assistant was stunned when he saw Zheng Yaoyang's name and asked doubtfully: "Kyoboli in Tokyo? I seem to have heard the name of this company somewhere?"
"Read more newspapers on weekdays and spend less time picking up girls."
Lin Defu glared and said angrily: "The main company that shorted the Japanese property market was on the Tokyo Daily News every day for a few months, but it has disappeared recently."
The assistant asked: "Short selling the Japanese property market? Then Zheng Yaoyang should have made a lot of money?"
Japan's property market crash was a big event for the whole of Asia. He remembered clearly that on the day of the property market crash, housing prices in various parts of Hong Kong were also affected.
However, the impact quickly dissipated. After all, compared with Tokyo, Xiangjiang is still too small and is currently in development, so it is not so frothy.
Lin Defu smiled bitterly: "Some people say 2 billion, some say 5 billion, and some say 10 billion."
"Hong Kong dollars? There aren't many."
"It's dollars!"
The assistant opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but gasped: "Zheng Yaoyang really made so much money again?"
Even the minimum of US$2 billion is still HK$15.6 billion, which is almost as much as the second richest person in Hong Kong.
How old is Zheng Yaoyang this year?
The net worth is already 40 billion Hong Kong dollars?!
Lin Defu shook his head and said: "I don't know. Anyway, it's not groundless, and I should make a lot of money."
"How could he target our telecommunications?"
"Not sure."
"Uncle Third, what should we do? Should we contact HSBC for help, borrow some money, and buy back shares?"
"Don't be too naive. HSBC is just a bunch of jackals and tigers. If you let them help, you will be sold out."
Lin Defu smiled bitterly. He was very self-aware. Compared with Zheng Yaoyang, they had no advantage at all.
If he were HSBC and given a choice, he would only choose to help Zheng Yaoyang.
The assistant frowned: "How about letting this news out? It will cause some trouble for Zheng Yaoyang."
Lin Defu said coldly: "This is a bad idea, and the person who just sent the letter also thought so."
The assistant asked: "What should we do?"
"Courtesy first, then attack. Contact Zheng Yaoyang first to find out what his true intentions are."
Lin Defu looked solemn: "If there is really no room for maneuver, this last resort is better than nothing."
He knew very well that the person who sent the envelope wanted to kill someone with a knife.
This was a conspiracy, and when he was desperate, he couldn't refuse.
Not long after, through Zhou Xiaolin, Lin Defu obtained Zheng Yaoyang's contact information.
Zheng Yaoyang seemed surprised that Shuguang Fund was exposed to the sun so early.
But he did not hide it. He bluntly stated that he was the holder of Shuguang Fund and that he planned to acquire Xiangjiang Telecom.
The two briefly chatted for a few words. After all, the phone was inconvenient. They agreed on a time and place and planned to meet in person.
