Fortunately, Chu Huan rents enough warehouses around New York, otherwise the volume of these two companies alone would be enough to cause a major congestion in one place.
With the compromise between Mobil Oil and Chevron Oil, the so-called alliance between the five major oil companies has collapsed.
Exxon Oil Lyles was the third one to find Chu Huan, so he bought 2.8 million barrels of oil at a price of 11.7 US dollars.
Davion of Gulf Oil was the fourth to find Chu Huan, so he bought 1.75 million barrels of oil at a price of 11.8 US dollars.
The last person who came to Chu Huan was Clark from Texaco Oil.
"Why? Gulf Oil, which had the highest unit price before, only bought the oil in your hands at a unit price of 11.8 US dollars. Now why does it give us Texaco Oil a unit price of 12 US dollars, and there are still 1.72 million barrels left!
"
Clark was a little broken at this time and told Kelly.
Kelly spread her hands and said nonchalantly: "If Mr. Clark is not satisfied with the price, then please take it back. It just so happens that the other four companies are still waiting for news from us!"
Nowadays, Clark is just the fish that Kelly put on the pallet. If he obeys you, he will cooperate with you. If he disobeys, he will be sold to others.
Clark no longer has any say in this matter!
Seeing this situation, Clark extremely regretted his behavior in this incident.
"Miss Kelly, you and I are the first to cooperate. Please consider lowering the price if our previous cooperation was quite smooth!"
Clark begged.
Kelly looked at Clark with some dissatisfaction and said: "Mr. Clark, you also know that we were the first to cooperate, but why are you the last to come to us now?"
Kelly's question left Clark speechless!
"Okay, let's talk about oil this time. Mr. Clark's price of 12 US dollars per barrel, do you want it or not?"
What can Clark say?
"want!"
Kelly happily handed over the contract that she had already prepared.
Clark signed his name with some humiliation!
After Clark signed his name, Chu Huan's trip to New York was completely over.
At this time, before returning to Xiangjiang, Chu Huan also had to calculate his gains this time!
The oil was originally purchased in two installments for a total of US$51.9 million and 18.2 million barrels of oil.
The sale to Cao Wenjin was to sell 1.4 million barrels of oil at a price of US$6 per barrel, with a total income of US$8.4 million and a profit of US$4.41 million.
The sale to Mobil Oil was 7.02 million barrels of oil at a price of US$11.5 per barrel, with a total income of US$80.73 million and a profit of US$60.723 million!
The oil sold to Chevron was 3.51 million barrels of oil sold at a price of US$11.6 per barrel, with a total income of US$40.716 million and a profit of US$30.7125 million!
The sale to Exxon Oil was 2.8 million barrels of oil at a price of US$11.7 per barrel, with a total income of US$32.76 million and a profit of US$24.78 million!
It sold 1.75 million barrels of oil to Gulf Oil at a price of US$11.8 per barrel, with a total income of US$20.65 million and a profit of US$15.6625 million!
The sale to Texaco Oil was 1.72 million barrels of oil at a price of US$12 per barrel, with a total income of US$20.64 million and a profit of US$15.738 million!
Cao Wenjin’s $8.4 million was not settled in one go, but divided into ten times, each settling at $840,000!
So this time Chu Huan planned for the oil crisis and threw away the principal, making a total profit of 152.026 million US dollars. Of course, there are other expenses such as storage rental fees, security personnel's labor, Kelly's share, taxes, etc.
After deducting a series of expenses, Chu Huan made a profit of US$148 million, equivalent to HK$832 million!
If coupled with Chu Huan's principal, US$51.9 million is equivalent to HK$2.92, then Chu Huan's available funds at this time have reached HK$1.124 billion!
Although 180 million Hong Kong dollars of the principal comes from bank loans, there are still nearly ten months until the repayment date of this loan, so Chu Huan is not in a hurry to pay back the money!
Of course, from this cash, the 43 million Hong Kong dollars owed by Cao Wenjin will also be deducted!
This time, the cash in Chu Huan's hand now has a specific amount, 1.081 billion Hong Kong dollars!
call!
After calculating this number, Chu Huan breathed a long sigh of relief. He could finally return to Xiangjiang and continue to stir up trouble!
Kelly naturally also knew about Chu Huan's current income. Seeing that Chu Huan had earned more than 100 million U.S. dollars this time, she enviously performed various difficult poses!
"This time I will leave you 8 million US dollars in cash for you to be responsible for the operation of five investment companies in North America, mainly to establish Apex Pictures, contact Spielberg, and observe Bill Gates, and find
Steve Jobs on these three things!”
Chu Huan preached to Kelly.
Kelly understood that when Chu Huan said this, it actually meant that Chu Huan was preparing to leave New York!
"Okay, I will definitely complete these three things!"
Chu Huan also frowned slightly.
Chu Huan didn't stay too long in New York. After a night's rest, he flew directly back to Xiangjiang.
After returning to Xiangjiang, Chu Huan took the lead in making appointments with Guo Desheng, Zheng Yutong, and Hu Yingxiang.
"Three of you, this is the cash that you were promised to deliver to purchase the stocks of your company!"
As he spoke, Chu Huan took out three checks and handed them into the hands of three people.
When Chu Huan agreed to these three companies to invest in the Huaye City project, he put forward conditions to acquire 5% of their company's stocks, but the agreement was that he would only give them the cash in October!
However, Hutchison International Chuanhuan was traded in the form of stock-for-share exchange, so it was not included in this category.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sun Hung Kai’s HK$30 million, New World’s HK$33 million, and Hopewell Properties’ HK$27 million spent exactly HK$90 million on Chu Huan!
If you add in the 5% of Sun Hung Kai shares that Chu Huan bought from Guo Desheng before, Chu Huan is now the largest shareholder of Sun Hung Kai besides Guo Desheng, more than Feng Jingxi and Li Zhaoji!
Guo Desheng looked at the stocks in his hand and said with a smile: "Ah Huan, if you use the money now, Sun Hung Kai can get the money later!"
Zheng Yutong and Hu Yingxiang also said the same thing.
Now all three of them know about the situation of Hang Lung Real Estate, and the reason for this situation is Zhang Mingyi's defection. Therefore, many people in their circle speculate that Chu Huan may take action against Hang Lung Real Estate.
But now that such a long time has passed, Chu Huan has not made any move. In the opinion of many people, it should be that Chu Huan's cash at this time is not as abundant as imagined.
Now Chu Huan once again took out 90 million Hong Kong dollars and gave it to the three of them.
Is Chu Huan really not interested in Hang Lung Properties, or does Chu Huan have more funds available for deployment?
Chu Huan didn't say anything, and the three of them didn't ask, but they all knew one thing, that is, if Chu Huan really wanted to acquire Hang Lung Real Estate, then Chu Huan would definitely need more cash, and the ninety-nine dollars they had in hand
Ten million, that can play a considerable role!
Chu Huan smiled and said: "No, thank you three!"
Guo Desheng and the other three smiled at each other and did not dwell too much on this matter. After all, the Hong Kong stock market was hit by the oil crisis again and the stock price fell again. The three of them also needed more cash on hand.
After seeing these three people away, Chu Huan came to Fengwu Securities.
The reason why he didn't take action against Hang Lung Properties before was because Chu Huan had no cash in his hands, but it's different now. The trip to New York brought Chu Huan 1.081 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash, even after deducting it for Guo Desheng and the others.
Of the 90 million in cash, Chu Huan still had 991 million in cash, which was more than enough to purchase the now-precarious Hang Lung Real Estate!
When Chu Huan came to Fengwu Securities, the most excited person was not Cao Yunshang, but Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao.
Ever since the Hang Lung Real Estate scandal, they had been wanting to see Chu Huan and ask Chu Huan whether he wanted to acquire Hang Lung Real Estate.
But Chu Huan seemed to have disappeared in Xiangjiang, so they could not find Chu Huan at all. Now that Chu Huan is here, they should have a conclusion on whether to acquire Hang Lung Real Estate!
Chu Huan looked at the excited expressions on the faces of the two people and said with a smile: "Start a comprehensive sweep of goods. I want you to buy back all the stocks that Hang Lung Properties has listed for sale in the stock market before the market closes today. Do you have the ability?"
Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao immediately cheered up and said directly: "No problem!"
Then the two of them returned to their positions and called the stock traders of Fengwu Securities in the Far East Club to start working!
Although Cao Yunshang was not as excited as the two of them, he still sat next to Chu Huan with excitement and said with a smile: "Daddy asked me to tell you, thank you for this incident!"
Wanbang Shipping bought so much oil from Chu Huan, at least in a short period of time, it will not purchase oil at the current oil price. This not only greatly increases Wanbang Shipping's competitiveness in the shipping industry, but also
Increased their profits!
Chu Huan waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "The family does not speak the same language. Besides, it was my uncle's help that I was able to contact the warehouse in New York. This thing of mine is nothing!"
Cao Yunshang smiled happily and nodded.
However, Chu Huan still reminded: "But no matter what, the price of oil will definitely not drop anymore, and my uncle should also consider accelerating his abandonment of ship and landing!"
Cao Yunshang said: "Daddy has indeed had such an idea, but this always requires a process."
Chu Huan nodded, it was indeed true. In fact, the oil crisis this time only started the cold winter period of the shipping industry, and did not directly enter it. The real cold winter of the shipping industry would not completely break out until the late 1970s.
However, the longer the time goes, the more ample time Cao Wenjin will have to abandon the ship and land.
"You are purchasing the shares of Hang Lung Properties with such a big fanfare. I believe that Chen Zengxi, Chen Qizong and his son will definitely receive the news soon!"
Cao Yunshang reminded Chu Huandao.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. At this time, Chen Zengxi and his son have nothing to worry about!"
Although Chu Huan acquired Hang Lung Real Estate later than Chen Zengxi and his son expected, it is undeniable that it was precisely because of this period that Hang Lung Real Estate's share price fell even more under the influence of this war.
Now that Chu Huan has taken action to acquire Hang Lung Real Estate, the result is already foreseeable, it’s just a matter of time!
As Cao Yunshang said, following Chu Huan's move, it didn't take long for Hang Lung Real Estate to get the news.
Chen Qizong, who had been relaxed for a few days, hurriedly ran to Chen Zengxi's office.
"Daddy, something happened, something big happened!"
Seeing Chen Qizong's expression, Chen Zengxi's heart sank. He stood up and asked, "What happened?"
Chen Qizong said in horror: "I just got the news, and suddenly someone started to buy our Hang Lung Properties' stocks. Those stocks that were previously listed for sale were all bought by people in less than half an hour. Now the company's stock price
It’s increased by 15%, but the other party still hasn’t stopped!”
What an ironic scene. Previously, Chen Zengxi and his son tried their best to increase the share price of Hang Lung Properties, but now that the share price of Hang Lung Properties has risen, they feel as if they have been struck by lightning!
Bang!
Chen Zengxi sat back in his chair dejectedly. At this time, his face was already pale, and he murmured to himself: "Take action, Chu Huan takes action!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, besides Chu Huan, Chen Zengxi can’t think of anyone else who can spend so much cash to acquire Hang Lung Properties shares!
Chen Qizong reminded frantically: "Daddy, we have to find a way quickly. If we don't think of a way, all the stocks of our Hang Lung Properties on the market will definitely be bought by Chu Huan soon. If we want to take them again by then,
It’s impossible to come back!”
"How?" Chen Zengxi murmured like a bereaved dog at this time: "What else can be done?"
Seeing that Chu Huan did not take action immediately, Chen Zengxi thought that Henglong Real Estate had escaped this disaster, so he used the family's last reserve fund to pay part of the project fee. Now they have no cash in their hands.
!
This is almost a devastating blow to the acquisition war started by Chu Huan!
Chen Qizong was sweating profusely and looked at his father in pain: "Is there really no other way?"
Chen Zengxi's brain was running rapidly, and then he suddenly said: "Immediately contact the major newspapers in Hong Kong. We, Hang Lung Properties, will issue a statement!"
Just when Chen Qizong turned around to do this, he was suddenly stopped by Chen Zengxi.
"At the same time, contact the wireless station and Li's TV. I want to speak live!"
News from newspapers was delivered too slowly, and Chen Zengxi couldn't wait any longer.
He needs his statement to reach the ears of the people of Hong Kong as quickly as possible.
Chen Qizong did not dare to delay and immediately complied!
Just an hour later, Chen Qizong appeared on TV and issued his statement.
"Today someone launched a hostile takeover of Hang Lung Properties. I would like to remind all friends who hold Hang Lung Properties shares!"
"Under the leadership of the company, Hang Lung Real Estate has always been a real estate company with very good operating conditions. Although the company's stock price has been affected by some external factors and has declined, the asset value of Hang Lung Real Estate itself has not been affected in any way.
Influenced.
Not only that, Hang Lung Properties also acquired Land’s Golden Gate Tower during this period, and the rental income this year will definitely hit a new high.
Nowadays, the share price of Hang Lung Properties is seriously inconsistent with the asset value of Hang Lung Properties. If all of you sell your shares of Hang Lung Properties at this time, you will definitely bring immeasurable losses to yourself.
In addition, Hang Lung Properties has decided to pay a dividend of HK$0.25 per share at the end of this year..."
Fengwu Securities!
Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang were sitting on the sofa, watching the gray-haired Chen Zengxi making his statement on TV.
"I didn't expect that Chen Zengxi turned gray overnight?" Cao Yunshang said with some sigh. She had not seen Chen Zengxi during this period, so she didn't know the specific day and night when Chen Zengxi turned gray, but she could foresee that it must be after the war.
matter.
Chu Huan did not have the slightest pity for Chen Zengxi's current situation, and said calmly: "Successful kings and defeated bandits are just like this. The outcome will not change just because Chen Zengxi turned gray overnight."
Chen Zengxi on the TV is still loudly calling on all shareholders of Hang Lung Properties not to just focus on immediate interests and sell their shares of Hang Lung Properties. He lists the properties held by Hang Lung Properties, the properties under development, and the direction of future development.
Waiting for a series of good things.
The purpose is to prevent those shareholders from selling their Hang Lung Properties shares!
Just after Chen Zengxi made his statement, it was time to close in the afternoon.
Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao came to Cao Yunshang's office somewhat disappointed.
"Master Huan, I'm sorry, we couldn't complete the task you gave us!"
Chu Huan had previously promised that they would capture all the shares of Hang Lung Properties circulating in the market before the market closes today.
However, as Chen Zengxi's speech appeared on TV, some people were still affected and no longer sold their Hang Lung Properties stocks, choosing a wait-and-see attitude.
Chu Huan also understood that this was not their reason, so he just asked aloud: "How many shares of Hang Lung Real Estate have you received now?"
Liu Zhiyuan said: "I almost received 10% of the shares!"
Chu Huan took a look at Cao Yunshang, and with the previous acquisitions and the shares of Hang Lung Real Estate purchased from Zhang Mingyi, Chu Huan already held 18% of the shares of Hang Lung Real Estate!
"It's ready. Go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow is the time for the decisive battle!"
Chu Huan comforted the two of them.
Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao nodded and left.
"It seems that Chen Zengxi will definitely take action tonight!" Cao Yunshang said after waiting for Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao to leave.
Chu Huan said nonchalantly: "If there is an action, then there will be action. No matter what he does at this time, he is destined to be unable to recover!"
This time, Chu Huan is determined to acquire Hang Lung Properties!
...
"Brother Li, you must help me this time. I promise that after this matter is over, I will thank you deeply, Brother Li!"
Chen Zengxi has returned to the Hang Lung Center on the TV station. As Cao Yunshang said, Chen Zengxi will be very busy tonight.
Statements on television can only delay the issue for a while, but cannot fundamentally solve the problem.
The only thing that can help Chen Zengxi now is to suddenly raise a large sum of cash and then start a battle with Chu Huan in the stock market!
Only in this way can he avoid the possibility of Hang Lung Real Estate being taken away by Chu Huan!
So at this time, when Chen Zengxi couldn't get it from the bank, he could only call his business friends to borrow money!
Chen Qizong was standing next to Chen Zengxi. He already knew one thing, that is, when the war just broke out, Chen Zengxi said that he had raised a sum of funds. It was just to stabilize the morale of the military. In fact, Chen Zengxi did not raise it at all.
arrive.
"Brother Chen, I'm really sorry. You know the market situation in Xiangjiang now, and we don't have any more cash. There's really nothing we can do to help with this matter!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After finishing speaking, the other party hung up the phone.
Chen Zengxi had no time to blame the other party at this time, but immediately dialed another number.
"Brother Liu, I hope I can get a loan from your bank. I can use all of our Hang Lung Real Estate projects as collateral, and I can also add all my personal properties!"
"Brother Chen, there is no way. Our bank has also suffered heavy losses in this incident. There is no way to provide you with any more funds. I think you should discuss it with Chu Huan. I have heard of this person.
, I have always been soft-spoken and not soft-spoken. Maybe if you admit your mistake and give in, this matter will be over!"
After saying that, the other party also hung up the phone!
Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Chen Zengxi reluctantly hung up the phone and dialed a number again.
Until around nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Zengxi made countless calls, but without exception, they all refused to provide help to Hang Lung Properties.
At this time, Chen Zengxi sat there blankly, without saying a word. If it weren't for the heaving of his chest, this man would be a dead person!
"Damn it, these people are so abominable. Have they forgotten how they fawned over our Chen family before? Now our Chen family is just in trouble temporarily, why do they look down on us so much!"
Chen Qizong was as angry as a bull that opened its chrysanthemums!
Chen Zengxi was unable to explain anything at this time, because the current situation had actually been anticipated before he called.
Shopping malls have always been such a reality and it has never changed!
"Prepare the car and go to Deep Water Bay!"
Chen Zengxi stood up slowly. Now there is only one way left to keep Hang Lung Real Estate!
Chen Qizong looked at Chen Zengxi in confusion, wondering what his father meant!
But when he followed Chen Zengxi to Cao Wenjin's villa in Deep Water Bay, he knew that his father was going to make it clear to Chu Huan face to face.
They don't know Chu Huan's specific residence, so they can only find Chu Huan here!
"Brother Cao, this time we, father and son, have given up. As long as Chu Huan can let us go and let Hang Lung Real Estate go, we, father and son, are willing to pay any price!"
In Cao Wenjin's study, Chen Zengxi and his son stood there. Chen Zengxi kept his attitude very low, while Chen Qizong stood there without saying a word, with his hands clenched tightly, and the veins were already popping out!
But in order to keep everything he had now, he had to do this and seek Chu Huan's forgiveness.
Otherwise, losing control of Hang Lung Properties would mean losing everything for them. When they do not have sufficient cash, even if they retain the shares of Hang Lung Properties, they will only be the second largest shareholder of Hang Lung Properties.
It's just a title.
Chu Huan has 10,000 ways to dilute their shares, leaving them with nothing left in the end!
And this also means that I will lose everything I have in Xiangjiang!
So today we must lower our heads, only in this way can we keep Qingshan!
Cao Wenjin sat there and said helplessly: "Brother Chen, it's not that I don't want to help you with this matter, but that I can't do anything about it. Although A Huan and Yun Shang are already engaged, the business between our two families
They have always been separate, even the business between Yun Shang and A Huan is separate."
Having said this, Cao Wenjin sighed heavily and said: "If I had known today, why would I have done it in the first place!"
Chen Zengxi naturally couldn't give up just like that. He didn't come to Cao Wenjin to persuade Cao Wenjin, but he hoped to meet Chu Huan through Cao Wenjin.
"Brother Cao, can you call Chu Huan? I want to talk to him in person about this matter. This time we, father and son, are here with great sincerity!"
"This, isn't that good?" Cao Wenjin said.
Chen Zengxi bowed to Cao Wenjin and said: "Brother Cao, for the sake of us knowing each other for such a long time, please help me this time!"
We have known each other for a long time, but we really have no friendship at all!
Although Cao Wenjin thought so, he finally picked up the phone in front of Chen Zengxi and dialed the number of Chu Huan's villa.
The person who answered the phone was Cao Yunshang. After understanding what Cao Wenjin meant, Chu Huan took the call.
"Uncle Cao, please tell them and their son that the meeting will be forgotten. There is only one way before them now, and that is to sell their shares of Hang Lung Properties to me at the closing price of the stock market last Friday. If not, then
Just wait until the market opens tomorrow to continue the acquisition!"
Chu Huan spoke calmly.
Cao Wenjin hung up the phone and relayed Chu Huan's meaning to Chen Zengxi and his son.
After Chen Zengxi listened, the veins on his forehead beat crazily.
What a cruel heart!
At its peak, Hang Lung Properties had a market capitalization of HK$3.5 billion, with a share price of HK$29.2. What is it now?
Hang Lung Properties' share price has already fallen below the issue price. If calculated based on last Friday's stock market closing price, Hang Lung Properties' market value at this time is only HK$680 million, and each share is only HK$5.6.
The total shares in his hands are only 258.4 million Hong Kong dollars!
Chen Zengxi said that there was no way he could accept this price.
"Brother Cao, you know the asset value of Hang Lung Real Estate, this price!"
Cao Wenjin waved his hand and said: "Brother Chen, I have brought it to you. To put it bluntly, after Ah Huan gets control of Hang Lung Real Estate, do you think the stocks in your hand can still bring you money?"
Want this cash?"
"That's it for now, it's up to you, Brother Chen, to make your own decision!"
At this point, Cao Wenjin has already issued an eviction order!
Chen Zengxi and his son left the Cao family helplessly.
