Chapter 407: Righteousness and wealth and robbery (4100+ chapters~)
7 The stock market crash affected not only the United States, but also the global market...
The lesson this time was too profound for Americans. In 2019, the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission approved the circuit breaker mechanism.
The "fuse mechanism" is like a fuse, which will blow when the current is excessive to protect electrical appliances. When applied to the stock market, when the price fluctuation reaches a certain limit, trading will be suspended, or trading can continue, but the quotation is limited to
Within a certain range.
Later, our country learned to integrate with international standards and gave everyone fifteen minutes to drink water, write a suicide note, tidy up their appearance, rationally choose the method of death, etc., and then die heroically and calmly!
Our country's self-developed circuit breaker mechanism leads the world. It broke four times in four days, evaporating 4.5 billion per second. Our country's stock market, which lost 7 trillion in market value in four days, became famous around the world, which is equivalent to evaporating the GDP of two Austrians in four days.
The "circuit breaker mechanism", which lasted only four days from its official implementation to its suspension, may become one of the shortest-lived and most embarrassing important measures in the history of my country's securities.
"What should we do next?" Zhou Tao asked.
With Wu Jianye withdrawing from the stock market, they now have exaggerated cash flow, so it is naturally impossible for them to keep this money in the bank.
"It's time to chat with Huang Tingfang!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Compared with Liu Luanxiong, Huang Tingfang wanted to acquire land more. However, this time the global stock market crash hit, Huang Tingfang could not escape the bad luck. His listed companies directly devalued by nearly one billion Hong Kong dollars. At this time, Huang Tingfang had no intention to acquire land.
Ah, it’s already good if you can maintain your current strength!
At this time, the nanny of the villa had already served breakfast.
"Sir, breakfast is ready!"
"Let's go and chat while we eat!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
The three of them came to the dining table, where they had xiaolongbao, rice porridge, and a few dishes of side dishes. It was completely different from the popular imagination of a billionaire's breakfast.
"After acquiring Land, I plan to separate the real estate department of Yaoguang Group and establish a new subsidiary!" Wu Jianye said.
Zhou Tao asked in surprise: "You want to go public through a backdoor scheme?"
Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "No, I want to completely privatize Land!"
Zhou Tao was surprised by Wu Jianye's ambition: "The market value of Land is worth tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars?"
Wu Jianye dipped a small steamed bun into some vinegar, put it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Are we short of money now?"
However, Zhou Tao still shook his head and said: "This is still inappropriate. If it is privatized, more funds will be involved. According to the current regulations of the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission, if we want to privatize Land, we must
Once our shareholding reaches 35%, we will then acquire Land shares from other shareholders based on Land’s highest share price within six months, which will cost us billions of Hong Kong dollars.”
Wu Jianye explained: "I know this, so after we became the largest shareholder of Land, we have to stay put. After the six months are over, we will privatize Land and at the same time privatize the real estate part of Yaoguang Group."
Get out!"
Zhou Tao then expressed that he understood what Wu Jianye meant, but he still had some questions.
"But there is another issue you haven't considered, and that is Jardine's attitude. Although Simon Keswick has always said that the door to Land is always open, if we want to acquire it, Jardine will definitely offer a sky-high price.
"
Wu Jianye smiled confidently: "If it was before the stock market crash, Jardine did have the capital, and we did have to spend some more money, but now? This is no longer up to him!"
"Since you already have a plan, okay!" Seeing Wu Jianye being so confident, Zhou Tao said nothing more.
When I arrived at Yanwen, I started asking about Standard Chartered Bank.
"Brother, where is Standard Chartered Bank?"
Wu Jianye thought for a moment and said, "Let's contact the chartering king first. I guess the chartering king should have made a decision by now."
But what Wu Jianye didn't expect was that he hadn't seen Huang Tingfang, the chartering king, but instead saw the panicked Liu Luanxiong first.
"Wu Sheng, I..." Liu Luanxiong's expression was very complicated.
At this time, he finally understood where Wu Jianye's confidence came from. Nowadays, the global stock market crashed and Hong Kong's market was suspended. Although Li Fuzhao said that this move was to save the market, Liu Luanxiong knew with his many years of experience that the consequences of doing so could only be
If the Hong Kong stock market falls into an abyss, there is no way to save Hong Kong's stock market.
And 70% of Liu Luanxiong's assets come from the stock market. The sharp decline in the Xiangjiang stock market means that Liu Luanxiong's net worth has shrunk. The chain reaction brought about by this is simply not something Liu Luanxiong can bear.
If he had not agreed to Wu Jianye's request, then if Wu Jianye came to talk to him about the acquisition now, not to mention 15 Hong Kong dollars per share, but even 11 Hong Kong dollars per share, Liu Luanxiong would have to hold his nose and agree.
"Liu Sheng, don't worry, I am a very honest person and will not change the result of our previous agreement because of this matter. The price of HK$15.5 per share will remain unchanged!"
Wu Jianye gave Liu Luanxiong a reassurance.
Liu Luanxiong showed a grateful expression. He was indeed worried that Wu Jianye would lower the stock price. After all, the two parties had not signed yet, and Liu Luanxiong also had some thoughts of his own in it. He wanted to see if he really wanted what Wu Jianye said.
Things really change after three days.
Now that the stock market crash is coming, is there anything bigger than this change?
"Wu Sheng, thank you so much, but this time..." Liu Luanxiong showed a troubled expression. Originally, Wu Jianye was very particular about being able to continue to purchase the shares of Land in his hands at a price of HK$15.5.
, but now he had to ask Wu Jianye to continue helping him.
"If you have anything to say, you can just say it. I promised you before that if you need anything, I will help you!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
"Then I'm not welcome." Liu Luanxiong said excitedly: "Wu Sheng, I want to borrow another 500 million Hong Kong dollars from Wu Sheng. I can pay Wu Sheng according to the bank's highest interest rate!"
Wu Jianye waved his hand and said: "It's only 500 million Hong Kong dollars. It's nothing. If you want interest, it's not much money. It's troublesome. Let's do it this way. Whenever Liu Sheng needs 500 million Hong Kong dollars, he can come whenever he needs it."
The remaining investment is for one year and no interest is charged!"
Liu Luanxiong excitedly held Wu Jianye's hand, "Wu Sheng, I really don't know how to thank Wu Sheng!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "If you want to thank me, don't say it. If Liu Sheng can trust me, I would like to acquire some of Liu Sheng's shares in Chinese Real Estate..."
"Wu Sheng..." Liu Luanxiong's expression changed.
Wu Jianye said: "Liu Sheng, don't worry, I am just optimistic about Liu Sheng's ability. Investing in Chinese Real Estate is just a long-term investment. I will never participate in Liu Sheng's management, and I guarantee that I will not surpass Liu Sheng."
At the same time, this acquisition can be announced directly after the Hong Kong stock market opens!"
Liu Luanxiong felt that his heart was about to jump out. The ups and downs were so exciting. Just now, he was really worried that Wu Jianye wanted to compete with him for Chinese real estate, but now he knew that Wu Jianye wanted to compete for Chinese people.
Buying real estate, but to help yourself raise the stock price of Chinese Real Estate.
As soon as the stock exchange announces the opening of the market, Xiangjiang's stock price will definitely drop like a flood. At this time, if Wu Jianye's Yaoguang Group announces the purchase of the stock price of Chinese Land, it will be a boost for investors.
Needless to say, the share price of Chinese Land will definitely be stronger than the share price of other companies.
"Wu Sheng, I really don't know what to say..."
"Haha, you don't need to tell me if you don't know." Wu Jianye smiled and said, "By the way, there is one more thing. I hope Liu Sheng can help me."
"Wu Sheng, please tell me, Mr. Liu will do his best."
"Haha, it's not that exaggerated. I just hope that Liu Sheng can first deal with the acquisition of Land shares between us and not publicize it to the outside world!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Liu Luan Xiong's thoughts suddenly changed, and he immediately understood that Wu Jianye was going to take action!
"Wu Sheng, please don't worry. I'm waiting for your news. When you say you will announce it, I will announce it when you want!"
"Thank you!"
"Wu Sheng, you are serious!"
.......
Liu Luanxiong walked out of Yuzhi Investment and got into his car. Liu Luanhong had been waiting in the car for a long time. He asked immediately after seeing Liu Luanxiong.
"Brother, what did Wu Jianye say?"
Liu Luanxiong sighed and said: "Wu Sheng did not lower the purchase price of Land shares, and agreed to lend us 500 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is interest-free for one year..." Then he added the other two people's shares.
The agreement was told to Liu Luanhong.
Liu Luanhong looked shocked: "Is this Wu Jianye so generous?"
Liu Luanxiong said: "Since I started building Aimei Gao from scratch, I have never had anyone help me like this. I feel so sorry!"
Liu Luanhong was silent for a long time. He got up with Liu Luanxiong, so he naturally understood the process of Liu Luanxiong's fortune, and he understood why his brother sighed like this.
However, he still didn't understand and said: "How much money does this Wu Jianye have? How did he get all this money? This is too exaggerated!"
Liu Luanxiong said in a deep voice: "I have guessed something."
"Brother..."
"Do you still remember when the Yaoguang Group first blew up the Yaoguang Hurricane in Xiangjiang?"
“October 5!”
"What year happened?"
Liu Luanhong looked shocked: "The Plaza Agreement..."
"Yes, Wu Sheng told me before that he would buy our Land shares for 16 Hong Kong dollars per share, and he said he would only give three days. Now it seems that Wu Sheng has anticipated the stock market crash." Even though he had guessed it, Liu Luanxiong said
When I came out, I was still in shock.
Liu Luanhong also said the same: "Hey, dear, if this is true, how much money does Wu Jianye earn?"
Liu Luanxiong did not answer his brother's words, but just said: "Xiangjiang is going to change, and the land is going to change owners!"
.......
Huang Tingfang was sitting in his office at this time, with a heavy expression on his face. A few days ago, he had ambitious plans to acquire Land, thus becoming the first step for his company to officially enter the Hong Kong market.
But in just a few days, this ambition was replaced by anxiety, and Huang Tingfang was caught off guard by the stock market crash.
Now what Huang Tingfang has to consider is no longer the acquisition of real estate, but how to preserve his inherent assets. Although he is the largest shareholder of Far East Organization, it does not mean that he has no opponents in the group. The following major shareholders are always keeping an eye on him.
This is the position of the major shareholder.
Jingle Bell!
The phone on the desk seemed to be able to sense Huang Tingfang's anxious mood, and it sounded particularly harsh when it rang.
"Who are you?" Huang Tingfang picked up the phone and looked very impatient.
"Huang Sheng, I'm Yan Wen from Yu Zhi Investment!" Yan Wen's calm voice came from the other end of the phone.
Huang Tingfang suddenly remembered that Wu Jianye had approached him and wanted to acquire his land shares.
"Is Wu Sheng there? I want to talk to Wu Sheng!" Huang Tingfang said loudly immediately.
Now that the stock market crash has come, it is no longer possible for him to acquire Land's shares, and Land's stock price will definitely drop significantly after the stock market crash. Originally, Huang Tingfang thought that it would be impossible for anyone to acquire Land's shares at this time, but he did not expect Wu.
Jianye actually sent someone to call him again.
"My eldest brother hopes to invite Huang Sheng to have lunch on the peninsula!" Yan Wen said.
"Please tell Wu Sheng that I will arrive on time!" Huang Tingfang replied immediately.
"good!"
After Huang Tingfang put down the phone, he immediately called his secretary: "Book me a plane to Xiangjiang immediately!"
At this time, Huang Tingfang was at his base camp in Singapore.
.......
Peninsula Hotel!
Huang Tingfang stirred his coffee to calm down, and reviewed his mentality when talking to Yan Wen on the phone in the morning. He was a little too anxious. Although the other party wanted to buy the shares in Land, he was also eager to sell them.
Cash out.
But the attitude he showed has already given the other party a certain psychological advantage.
This is not conducive to my own negotiations with Wu Jianye!
Soon, Wu Jianye arrived at the Peninsula Hotel, still wearing simple casual clothes.
"Huang Sheng, I'm sorry, I'm late!"
"No, it's because I arrived early!" Huang Tingfang has now calmed down.
"Sir, what would you like to drink?" the waiter came over and asked.
"Just tea!" Wu Jianye said with a smile as he handed over the tip.
Huang Tingfang waited for the waiter to leave, then asked with a smile: "I wonder what happened to Wu Sheng this time?"
"Huang Sheng, there's no need to beat around the bush between you and me. Let's open up the sky and speak frankly. I want Huang Sheng's 2.73% stake in Land!" Wu Jianye said straight to the point.
"Wu Sheng, I'm really happy, but I don't know what price Wu Sheng is going to pay for it?" Huang Tingfang did not refuse Wu Jianye this time!
"When the stock exchange was closed, Land's stock price was HK$11.69 per share. But when the stock exchange opens, you and I both know what direction Land's stock price will be. But we, Yaoguang Group, are not taking advantage of the situation.
11 Hong Kong dollars per share is enough!" Wu Jianye said!
