Today, all the newspaper headlines in Hong Kong carried a statement issued by Landmark. It was this statement that shocked the entire Hong Kong stock market!
Landmark will entrust JFH as a financial consultant to exchange two shares of Landmark shares with a face value of HK$5 for one share of Dairy Milk Company with a face value of HK$7.5, that is, a full acquisition of Milk and Ice Factory Co., Ltd. in the form of a share-for-share exchange.
In addition, Landmark said that based on the closing price of Hong Kong Stock Exchange on October 27, 1972, Landmark's share price was 94 Hong Kong dollars and Dairy Farm's share price was 135 Hong Kong dollars. The share exchange proposal actually raised Dairy Farm's share price to 188 Hong Kong dollars per share, that is, Dairy Farm's
The capital value of the company's shareholders will increase by 40%.
Land's statement was like pouring cold water into a frying pan, instantly causing the entire Hong Kong stock market to explode.
Cao Yunshang drove the car at a fast speed and arrived at Chu Huan's apartment.
Chu Huan was having breakfast. When he saw Cao Yunshang who was panting, Chu Huan said, "Have you eaten?"
How could Cao Yunshang still be in the mood to eat at this time? He slapped the newspaper in his hand on Chu Huan's table and said urgently: "Landmark has really acquired the milk company."
There was endless ecstasy in the voice.
Chu Huan's guess turned out to be true. Now Real Estate really plans to acquire the milk company. The interests behind this cannot but make Cao Yunshang feel happy for Chu Huan.
"How about I cook you a bowl of egg noodles with less noodles and more meat?"
Chu Huan still behaved calmly.
"Aren't you excited? This means that the market value of the stocks of the two companies you bought before will at least double!" Cao Yunshang couldn't understand why Chu Huan was still so calm at this time.
Chu Huan really didn't do this just to show off, but something happened that he knew would happen, so there was really no need to show such excitement.
After pushing Cao Yunshang onto the chair, Chu Huan walked to the kitchen, turned on the stove, and started cooking noodles for Cao Yunshang.
"What's so exciting about this? Didn't I tell you before? Land's acquisition of the milk company was already destined. Since I've already guessed it, why am I still excited now!"
"As for money, it's nothing more than a bunch of numbers!"...This sentence is purely for show-off!
Seeing Chu Huan's performance, Cao Yunshang could only ask the sky in silence, but he still took the newspaper and said seriously: "But this time the real estate is a thief, they don't plan to buy it with cash but exchange it for shares."
To control the milk company, this is obviously a white wolf trick!"
"It must be a waste of money." Chu Huan put the noodles into the pot, then turned on another stove, poured oil into the pot, fried eggs, and then continued: "Henry Keswick has great ambitions. Now
The global economy is growing rapidly, and Henry Keswick naturally wants to seize this opportunity to continue to expand their power.
In this case, they naturally hope to obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum price!"
Cao Yunshang finally put down the newspaper in his hand, came to Chu Huan's side, hugged Chu Huan from behind, and then asked: "Then do you think they will succeed this time?"
Chu Huan shook his body and asked Cao Yunshang to stay out of the way. He took the fried eggs out of the pot, poured the noodles into a bowl, and finally took out the luncheon meat from the refrigerator, cut two slices, and had a bowl of dinner eggs.
The noodles are almost done.
After putting it on the table, he preached to Cao Yunshang.
"Of course it will succeed. Land's position in Xiangjiang is too special. No one will doubt Land's future development prospects. On the contrary, the dairy company has too many problems!"
Cao Yunshang asked while eating noodles, "What's the problem?"
Chu Huan glanced at Cao Yunshang, "Are you asking questions knowingly?"
Cao Yunshang chuckled and said, "I just want to hear what you have to say!"
Chu Huan could only say: "Although the dairy company has Zhou Xinian as the chairman of the board of directors, and there are shareholders like Hutchison International and Wheelock, their biggest problem is that they don't have a single largest controlling shareholder. The company's equity distribution
It is too fragmented and it is difficult for their shareholders to have a sense of identity.
Unless some of these shareholders want to fully control the milk company, but in the current situation, if they do this, they will not only have to face the eager external enemy of Land, but also find ways to deal with the internal competition within the company.
In addition, the development strategy of the Milk Company in recent years has been to rest on its past laurels. It has so much high-quality land in its hands, but there is no decent real estate development at all. It is nothing more than buying land to make a profit.
Such an operation will only make those small shareholders place their hopes on Land, and after the share exchange, they will become Land's shareholders.
There’s no need to say more about Land’s position in the Hong Kong real estate industry, right?”
Cao Yunshang nodded and said, "So, this battle won't last too long?"
Chu Huan drank the last mouthful of noodle soup in his bowl, then took another sip of Coke, and then burped comfortably before continuing to preach.
"No, Zhou Xinian is not the kind of person who is easy to take advantage of. Why would he resist? Moreover, the milk company's land is still very attractive, so this war has just begun. Let's just keep watching."
Cao Yunshang still said with some envy: "It seems that Real Estate is really going to grow again this time!"
"Misfortune brings good fortune and misfortune lurks. Looking at it now, Real Estate will definitely benefit a lot after completing the acquisition of the milk company, but in fact this has also laid hidden dangers for the company!"
Chu Huan preached relaxedly.
However, Cao Yunshang's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "You mean there is also a problem with Land Land?"
Chu Huanxiao looked at Cao Yunshang who wanted to know the answer, and said: "You always have to pay some price if you want to know."
Cao Yunshang gave Chu Huan a charming look, then stood up, leaned over again, and kissed Chu Huan fiercely.
Well, I just ate luncheon meat...
"If Land really succeeds in acquiring the Milk Company this time, it will definitely go down in the history of Hong Kong business wars. It will be able to swallow up this large-scale company without spending a penny of cash. It will definitely be
It will shock everyone, but the method of exchanging shares for shares is not without its hidden dangers.
Such a result will cause Land's shares to be dispersed in the hands of many small shareholders, and the result will naturally be that Jardine's control over Land is weakened. If a consortium launches a takeover war against Land, this will inevitably plunge Jardine and Land into
In the midst of a hard fight!”
Chu Huan was rewarded and naturally reciprocated.
After Cao Yunshang heard this, he immediately realized that in fact, this was not a difficult thing to think of. However, at this time, Cao Yunshang and other melon-eating people had set their sights on Land's acquisition of the milk company, so
Ignored other things.
After the dust settles on this matter, someone will naturally think of this.
"But it is not that easy to acquire land. As the most influential real estate company in Hong Kong, behind it is a top consortium like Jardine Matheson. Even if someone wants to acquire it, it is estimated that even the Hong Kong government will
It’s going to be alarming!”
Cao Yunshang also has his own ideas.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "That will happen in a few years. It's too early to think about it now."
Cao Yunshang thought about it for a moment and it was indeed true.
After the two had breakfast, they went to Fengwu Securities together. When they arrived at Fengwu Securities, Liu Zhiyuan immediately ran over excitedly.
"Young Master Huan, we will make a lot of money this time!"
Obviously he also already knew about Land's acquisition of the milk company.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "How is it? How much have the stock prices of the two companies increased now?"
Liu Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "The stock prices of both companies have risen a lot now. As soon as the news came out, the stock price of the milk company opened at 188 Hong Kong dollars, which was a full 48 Hong Kong dollars higher than the closing price on Friday. Land's
Although the stock price is not as high as that of the dairy company, it is still okay!”
At this time, Liu Zhiyuan's admiration for Chu Huan had reached an extremely high level. Chu Huan was actually able to predict the occurrence of this matter a few months ago and make arrangements in advance.
How far-sighted is this?
"Master Huan, should we exchange shares for shares and become Land's shareholders, or should we sell all these shares?"
It is precisely because of his admiration for Chu Huan that Liu Zhiyuan can no longer make decisions on his own, and he all listens to Chu Huan.
Although Land acquired the milk company through stock-for-share exchange, he himself was not prepared to spend any real money.
But there are many people in Xiangjiang who want to become shareholders of Land and Land. If Chu Huan holds the shares of the dairy company with a market value of 20 million Hong Kong dollars and exchanges them for Land Land shares, he can become a small shareholder in Land and Land.
This is very tempting.
So Chu Huan doesn't have to worry about no one taking over the stocks he holds.
"Of course we sold them all. Now the stock prices of the two companies are inflated due to this acquisition. Naturally, we sold them at the peak."
Chu Huan understood that at this time, he had no way of coveting a behemoth like Land Land. As Chu Huan just said, even if Chu Huan had enough funds, the Hong Kong government would not allow it.
Jardine and Land are the faces of Gui Lao in Xiangjiang. It is impossible for a Chinese to gain control so easily.
Buying and selling stocks is nothing more than buying low and selling high, but not everyone can master how to control this degree.
Unless you are the one who makes the rules, no one can avoid the fate of being a leek.
Although Chu Huan cannot make rules yet, Chu Huan can use his prophetic ability to stay outside the rules.
"Then at what price is it appropriate for us to sell?" Liu Zhiyuan continued to ask.
"Wait a minute, I need to take another look." Chu Huan did not give an accurate answer, because in Chu Huan's memory, the battle was full of ups and downs, and some of the things he might be able to use.
And this will also bring greater benefits to Chu Huan!
"I will notify you when it is time to sell!"
Although he did not get an accurate answer, Liu Zhiyuan left very happily.
After Liu Zhiyuan left Cao Yunshang's office, Chu Huan said to Cao Yunshang: "I have something to see my uncle. Do you want to come with me?"
The uncle Chu Huan mentioned was naturally Cao Yunshang's father.
"Let's go together, I also want to see what other plans you have!" Cao Yunshang immediately picked up his bag and said excitedly.
Outsiders say that Chu Huan was able to make a great turnaround at the beginning of his business with the help of Cao Wenjin, but Cao Yunshang understands how Chu Huan got through this journey, and he has never looked for him in business.
The father helped.
Now Chu Huan is actually going to find his father. Apparently Chu Huan has other plans in mind.
Chu Huan smiled, and the two left Fengwu Securities again and came to Wanbang Aviation.
"Ah Huan, is this your first time coming to our company?"
The most eye-catching thing in Cao Wenjin's office is the rudder placed in the middle.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "Aren't you worried about affecting your uncle's plan to go public with Wanbang Aviation?"
Cao Wenjin finally made the decision to list Wanbang Aviation this month.
"You two came together today, are you here to show off to me?" Cao Wenjin joked: "Land's acquisition of the milk company, Ah Huan, you predicted it accurately this time."
Chu Huan said: "It's just luck."
Looking at Chu Huan's young appearance, Cao Wenjin felt a little emotional. Thinking back to when he was this age, he was still studying in school. How could he have achieved Chu Huan's current achievements?
Land's acquisition of the milk company will once again greatly increase Chu Huan's wealth. It turned out that Cao Wenjin estimated that based on Chu Huan's ability, it would probably take several years to catch up with the Cao family.
Looking at it now, I am afraid that when Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang get married, it will be difficult to say who will win and who will lose financially.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay, let's get down to business. If you come here at this time, I know you are not here to show off." Cao Wenjin said with a smile.
Cao Yunshang rolled his eyes at his father, and just now he said he was here to show off!
"Uncle was joking, there is nothing to show off about this, but this time I came to my uncle because I really want to discuss something with him!"
Chu Huan preached.
Cao Wenjin nodded and said, "Tell me about it!"
"That's it!" Chu Huan considered the words for a moment, and then said: "Now that Landmark has begun the acquisition of the milk company, I want to know a few things. The first one is whether Zhou Xinian has any idea of fighting this with Landmark.
battle......"
"If Zhou Xinian really wants to fight this war, then he needs the shares of the dairy company in your hands, and you can sell these shares at a higher price!" Cao Wenjin guessed what Chu Huan was thinking.
.
In this acquisition war in another time and space, Zhou Xinian did have a few moves with Henry Keswick, but when Chu Huan was looking at this case, he always felt that Zhou Xinian did not try his best to resist this acquisition.
Did Zhou Xinian feel inadequate for this acquisition, or was he already disappointed with the business community in Xiangjiang?
Chu Huan didn't know, so Chu Huan wanted to see if Zhou Xinian would have some ideas if he had the milk company stock worth 20 million Hong Kong dollars in his hands.
"If there's a first thing, there's a second thing. Let's talk about your second thing!" Cao Wenjin continued.
It was clearly you who interrupted me just now... Chu Huan continued to smile and said: "The second thing is to trouble my uncle to talk to Qi Dezun. Hutchison International is a shareholder of the milk company. Qi Dezun should also be interested in the milk company."
It’s just some interest.”
Hutchison International and Jardine Matheson are both the four major British-owned conglomerates, but they are certainly not harmonious with each other. There are also many overt and covert conflicts.
What's more, Qi Dezun, like Henry Keswick, is an enterprising person. If he can get the milk company, it will be the best time for Qi Dezun to expand his strength.
"The last thing is that I want my uncle to ask if any real estate company in Xiangjiang is interested in the milk company. As long as the price is right, I can sell my shares to them!"
However, whether it was Zhou Xinian or Qi Dezun, Chu Huan had no contact with them, so Chu Huan found Cao Wenjin this time, hoping that Cao Wenjin would come forward to help him inquire about these two matters.
After hearing what Chu Huan said, Cao Wenjin burst out laughing and said, "You are planning to turn these companies in Xiangjiang into a mess!"
Chu Huan shrugged his shoulders and said relaxedly: "The more lively the fight, the better, so the stocks in my hand will be more valuable!"
The shares of the Dairy Company are really too tempting at this time. In fact, even those companies that don’t want to control the Dairy Company can still become Land’s shareholders. Although the proportion is not large, it is better than nothing. The most important thing is that they can have a shareholder.
A good start.
"Okay, I will help you with this matter, but it will take some time. Are you sure that the Battle of Niu can last for such a long time?"
Cao Wenjin directly agreed to Chu Huan's request without any consideration.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "We have just taken action now. The milk company has not counterattacked yet. I believe they will fight for a while, but uncle's best to hurry up, it is best not to take more than a week!"
Cao Wenjin raised his forehead slightly and said, "No problem!"
"Thank you uncle!" Chu Huan thanked her sincerely, and then added: "There is one more thing, that is, I hope not to let more people know about this matter. I don't want to let anyone know about it before I am sure whether the other party will buy it.
Know that I am doing this behind the scenes!”
Cao Wenjin immediately understood what Chu Huan meant. Now Chu Huan has been working hard to create a character whose cash flow is about to be cut off, in order to paralyze Chu Tianxiao.
If word now spreads that Chu Huan still holds 20 million worth of shares of the Dairy Milk Company, all Chu Huan's previous plans will come to naught.
After thinking for a while, Cao Wenjin said: "If this is the case, then it is not appropriate for me to come forward. Everyone knows our relationship. Although no one will guess that it is you, it is still inevitable that people will be suspicious.
"
Glancing at Chu Huan, Cao Wenjin suddenly smiled and said: "But don't worry, I have already thought of this candidate. If he comes forward, no one will guess that it is you!"
"Yes?" Chu Huan asked suspiciously.
"Guo Henian from Malaysia!" Cao Wenjin slowly spit out a name and said with a smile: "I have an irreconcilable relationship with this person, and he has no relationship with you. If he comes forward, no one will think of you.
On my body!"
Facing such considerate Cao Wenjin, Chu Huan could only express his gratitude again.
Guo Henian was extremely low-key and almost never appeared in public. Chu Huan was also very curious about this person.
However, at this time, Kwok Ho-nien had not yet entered the Xiangjiang market, and his reputation in Hong Kong was not prominent. The real sign of Kwok Ho-nien's entry into the Xiangjiang market was in 1974. At that time, Kwok Ho-nien established Kerry Trading Co., Ltd. in Hong Kong.
In 1976, Kuok He-nien even moved the Kuok family's headquarters in Kuala Lumpur to Xiangjiang.
The following year, Guo Henian built the 720-room five-star hotel Shangri-La in Xiangjiang!
After chatting with Cao Wenjin and getting the answer they wanted, Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang left Wanbang Aviation.
...
Land's acquisition of the milk company has attracted the attention of the whole Hong Kong, and Chu Tianxiao is no exception.
Especially now that Chu Tianxiao has begun to slowly move his career focus closer to the real estate industry.
Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Chu Tianxiao sighed.
"Daddy, what's wrong?" Chu Ran asked curiously upon seeing this.
Chu Tianxiao sighed: "Things in the world are unpredictable. I didn't expect that a behemoth like the Milk Company would one day be acquired by others!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Ran chuckled and said: "What did I think it was? It turned out to be this matter, but now Land has just announced the acquisition, and it remains to be seen whether it will succeed in the end.
Definitely!"
Chu Tianxiao glanced at Chu Ran dissatisfied and scolded: "What do you know, is this what I lament?"
You clearly said that just now... Chu Ran shrank his neck and said obediently: "What do you think, daddy?"
Chu Tianxiao said regretfully: "What I regret is that I couldn't know about this matter earlier. If we could have known about this matter earlier, we could have used a sum of funds to acquire the shares of the milk company in advance. If
If this is the case, we can now become shareholders of Land.
If you can become a shareholder of Hua Land, it will be a very beneficial thing for the development of Huhua Real Estate."
Chu Ran tentatively said: "That's true, but for such a big thing as the acquisition of a milk company, Land must have kept it very confidential before. I think other than those core figures, even Land's other senior executives did not
May know.
So I feel that this kind of thing just happens when it happens. It has nothing to do with us or other people. After all, it is the matter of these two companies."
Chu Tianxiao nodded slightly, still very much in agreement with what Chu Ran said.
"That's true, but this incident also taught us a lesson!"
"What lesson?" Chu Ran didn't understand what happened to Land and Dairy Company, so what did he care about them?
"The reason why milk companies are on the map is because they do not have their own controlling shareholders and the equity distribution is too dispersed. When the company develops in the future, we will definitely avoid this happening."
Chu Tianxiao preached with determination.
According to Chu Tianxiao's plan, Jiahu Textile will have at least two or three plans to issue new shares from this year to the middle of next year, which will inevitably dilute everyone's shareholding ratio in Jiahu Textile.
Even in this day and age, issuing new shares is a complicated process.
Take Chu Huan for example.
When Chu Tianxiao issued new shares, what Chu Huan asked for was as long as he could maintain the same proportion of his current shareholding in Jiahu Textile as all major shareholders.
Therefore, in this process, Chu Huan needs to acquire some shares of private placement shares.
This type of stocks will not appear on the trading market.
In other words, ordinary people have no way to buy it.
But at the same time, some stocks will flow into the trading market. This part is actually a matter of redistribution of the shareholding ratio of the original shareholders...
To put it simply, for Chu Huan, there is both sacrifice and gain.
But for Chu Huan at this time, the effort is always more than the gain. However, with the return of funds, Jiahu Textile's business expansion will also increase the stock price of Jiahu Textile again, and Chu Huan's contribution will also be
This part of fixed assets will be supplemented.
Lost the cash and gained the asset of invisible stock appreciation.
Of course, there are more detailed rules here, but there is no need to explain them one by one.
"By the way, do you know why Zhang Chengzhong left Xiangjiang suddenly?" Chu Tianxiao suddenly thought of Zhang Chengzhong and asked Chu Ran.
Chu Ran shook his head and said: "I didn't find out, but what is certain is that Zhang Chengzhong must have suffered a loss and was dejected when he left."
Chu Tianxiao thought for a while and said: "Forget it, it doesn't matter whether he can leave Xiangjiang or not, but our cooperation with Zhang Mingyi must be stepped up. It is almost the end of the year, and there will definitely be a large amount of land acquired by then."
For auctions, the real estate market in Xiangjiang is booming now.
Many real estate companies have chosen to go public at this time, all in order to gather more funds, and there will be a big battle at the end of the year!"
The reason why Chu Tianxiao chose to cooperate with Zhang Mingyi was because of the Overseas Trust Bank founded by Zhang Mingyi. If a real estate company wants to become bigger and stronger, it cannot do without the support of the bank.
Therefore, even though he knew that cooperating with Zhang Mingyi was seeking the skin of a tiger, Chu Tianxiao had no choice but to cooperate with him.
Chu Ran asked: "How about I go to Malaysia to care about Zhang Chengzhong?"
Chu Tianxiao naturally has to do this to connect with Zhang Mingyi. What Chu Ran has to do is to continue to maintain a good relationship with Zhang Chengzhong.
Chu Tianxiao glanced at Chu Ran helplessly, "You just said that he left Xiangjiang in despair, so he must have encountered something embarrassing in Xiangjiang. Do you think it is appropriate for you to go there at this time?
?”
Chu Ran smiled awkwardly.
Chu Tianxiao really hates Shang Keru at this time. If she doesn't make trouble, he may be able to have another son with the dancing lady he likes if he works hard.
Now that he is in his prime, he can properly raise his second son, so he doesn't have to face Chu Ran, who is careless, every day.
"Forget it, don't worry about the Zhang family's affairs for now. You can go find Zhang Chengzhong after a while!"
Chu Ran immediately nodded and said there was no problem.
Chu Tianxiao's eyes once again fell on the newspaper's statement on Land's acquisition of the milk company.
I regret so much. If I could have known this news in advance, even if I did not become a shareholder of Land, I could have taken advantage of this moment to sell my stocks at a high price, and then I would not have needed the overseas trust loan!
