Losing Yulang Books meant that Huang Yulang had lost everything. During this period, he had been living a life of intoxication and dreams, and everything seemed to have lost its meaning to him.
After all, he was not an emotionless zombie after a night's hangover. The thunderous sound in his abdomen forced him to get up and go out to eat.
Without washing or brushing his teeth, Huang Yulang walked out of his apartment in a daze.
I randomly found a noodle shop.
"A bowl of beef brisket noodles!" Huang Yulang sat down with a clang, not caring about the strange looks coming from around him.
Seeing him in such a mess, the store owner felt disgusted in his heart, but it was hard to say anything.
Huang Yulang was sitting there, waiting for his beef brisket noodles, and then he heard the comments from other diners around him.
"Tell me, who launched the hostile takeover of Hang Lung Real Estate yesterday?"
"I heard it seems to be Chu Huan!"
"Chu Huan again? Didn't he already acquire Yulang Books before? And now he acquires Hang Lung Real Estate?"
"Can Yulang Books compare with Hang Lung Real Estate? A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. According to Hang Lung Real Estate's closing share price yesterday, its market value has reached at least 700 million. Chu Huan's acquisition of Yulang Books is only a matter of a few million!"
"That's true, but Chu Huan doesn't need to pay so much cash at all, as long as it reaches 51% of the holding!"
"Who knows? Look at Chu Huan's previous behavior. When he acquired Jiahu Textile, he immediately delisted Jiahu Textile!"
"That's true, but now it depends on whether the person doing the acquisition is Chu Huan!"
The discussion among these people attracted Huang Yulang's attention, and Huang Yulang snorted coldly: "Fart, why did Chu Huan acquire Hang Lung Real Estate? Even if Hang Lung Real Estate's stock price drops, Hang Lung Real Estate is not comparable to Jiahu Textile!"
When everyone heard Huang Yulang's voice, they looked at him dissatisfied. Seeing the unkempt appearance of this man, they did not want to have any contact with such a person. They shook their heads and did not intend to talk to this lunatic.
Suddenly, a diner walked in with a copy of "True Report". He came to a table of guests with an excited look and preached loudly.
"It's confirmed, it's confirmed. The one who made the offer to Hang Lung Properties is Chu Huan. Chu Huan has already announced it in the newspaper!"
"What!"
Huang Yulang, who had been doubtful just now, stood up suddenly and snatched the "True Report" from the opponent's hand without any explanation.
Sure enough, on the front page of "True News", Chu Huan's statement on the acquisition of Hang Lung Real Estate was published.
Chu Huan said in the statement that at this time he has obtained 18% of the shares of Hang Lung Properties and will start purchasing Hang Lung Properties shares at a price of HK$6.5 per share starting today!
At the same time, Chu Huan's statement also responded to Chen Zengxi's statement on TV yesterday and the statements in some evening newspapers that evening.
First of all, the asset value of Hang Lung Properties is indeed much higher than the current market value, but Chu Huan also reminded all Hang Lung Properties stock holders.
Although the asset value of Hang Lung Properties is high, the loans of Hang Lung Properties itself are also very high. The known loan is Hang Lung Properties’ loan of HK$180 million from overseas trust banks. According to the current rental and property sales of Xiangjiang Commercial Building,
The situation is that Hang Lung Properties’ income this year and next will not be enough to pay for this loan.
Not to mention those unknown loans.
Secondly, Chen Zengxi promised to pay a dividend of HK$0.25 per share at the end of this year. According to the current number of shares of Hang Lung Properties, that means a dividend of 30 million is required. This amount of money may not be considered much for Hang Lung Properties before the stock market crash.
But for Hang Lung Real Estate at this time, they have no way to come up with the funds.
In other words, Chen Zengxi is just talking big words.
Secondly, Chu Huan said that Hang Lung Real Estate still has a part of the project payment that has not been settled, and it also needs to pay cash. This is undoubtedly making things worse for Hang Lung Real Estate, which is already in a dilemma at this time, and may even cause a chain reaction, causing Hang Lung Real Estate to lose money.
Possibility of entering bankruptcy liquidation!
Finally, Chu Huan said that he was only seeking to control Hang Lung Real Estate this time and was not sure whether to delist Hang Lung Real Estate and privatize it. Therefore, after acquiring 51% of Hang Lung Real Estate's shares, he would temporarily stop acquiring Hang Lung Real Estate's outstanding shares.
So if you want to exchange Hang Lung Properties shares for cash, you should do so as early as possible!
Huang Yulang, who had just been saying that it was impossible for Chu Huan to acquire Hang Lung Properties, suddenly burst into laughter after reading this report.
At this time, Huang Yulang suddenly felt that everything was so ironic!
Before, they were thinking about how to target Chu Huan and how to get Chu Huan's property.
What's the result now?
Luo Wei has been banned and is now hiding in Taiwan, licking her wounds alone.
As for me, Yulang Books has changed owners, and I have lost all my personal wealth.
Zhang Chengzhong...that kid, when they formed the Avengers, he had already betrayed them.
Some time ago, Chen Qizong was so famous that he was called by the Hong Kong media to be on the same level as Chu Huan, but what about now?
Even he might not be able to keep Hang Lung Real Estate, and the result can be imagined, and it will be no different from his own!
Thinking of this, Huang Yulang suddenly wanted to laugh and drink!
People in the noodle shop looked at Huang Yulang's crazy appearance and were at a loss. However, someone still carefully took the "True Report" from Huang Yulang's hands and carefully read the contents inside.
After reading it, he turned around and ran out of the noodle shop. Someone behind him couldn't help but asked loudly: "What are you doing?"
"Hurry up and sell your Hang Lung Properties shares!"
Previously, no one took over the shares of Hang Lung Properties. Yesterday, Chu Huan launched a takeover war. Because of Chen Zengxi’s statement on TV, some people wanted to wait for the price to sell.
As a result, Chu Huan has now given the final purchase price and stated that he has obtained 18% of the shares of Hang Lung Real Estate. Who knows when Chu Huan will acquire all the remaining shares. If he takes action later, what may happen next?
All gone.
Didn’t you see what was said in the newspaper? According to the current financial situation of Hang Lung Properties, there will definitely be no way to pay dividends in the next two years!
In other words, these stocks are just a pile of waste paper in your own hands!
The current situation is that if you have a quick hand, you will have a slow hand!
...
On the other side, Chen Zengxi, who was in the Jiahu Building parking lot, also saw this statement. He had not given up. He wanted to talk to Chu Huan in person today, and he had decided to agree to whatever conditions Chu Huan put forward.
The opponent's.
But now when he saw this statement, he knew that it was too late, and it was useless to say anything at this time.
"Go back to the company, go back to the company immediately!"
Chen Zengxi simply remained silent for a moment, and then immediately lectured his driver.
The driver didn't dare to delay at all and hurriedly started the car and returned to Hang Lung Center.
Chen Zengxi, who had just arrived at Hang Lung Center, immediately called the decadent Chen Qizong: "Sell, sell, sell our shares in Hang Lung Properties immediately!"
The situation is over and there is no possibility of recovery.
But Chen Zengxi found more ways to do this, that is, to sell his shares. Chu Huan told himself through Cao Wenjin that he would buy his shares in Hang Lung Properties at the closing price of Hang Lung Properties last Friday, and now
Hang Lung Properties’ share price has risen to HK$6.5, exceeding last Friday’s closing price!
Since Hang Lung Real Estate can no longer be saved, he must maximize the remaining value in his hands in the shortest possible time!
At this time, Chen Zengxi had already made the decision of a strong man to cut off his wrist.
But Chen Qizong couldn't understand what Chen Zengxi was doing, and frantically persuaded him: "Daddy, think of other ways, we can't lose Hang Lung Real Estate!"
Chen Zengxi said angrily: "Hurry up and do what I say, otherwise it will be too late!"
Upon seeing this, Chen Qizong could only quickly pick up the phone in Chen Zengxi's office and dial the number of the securities firm!
...
Fengwu Securities is here!
The phones in front of Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao never stopped. Basically, they just started ringing as soon as they put them down.
But even so, Liu Zhiyuan came to Cao Yunshang's office immediately and saw Chu Huan sitting here.
"Master Huan, all retail investors in the market are selling. In addition, we suddenly found that someone was selling Hang Lung Properties shares in large amounts!"
Chu Huan adjusted his sitting posture slightly and said playfully: "So, Chen Zengxi and his son also took action?"
Liu Zhiyuan nodded and said: "It should be like this."
"Collect retail investors first, then replenish large investors. As soon as 51% of the shares are acquired, stop operations immediately!"
Liu Zhiyuan nodded quickly: "Understood!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Cao Yunshang sighed: "Chen Zengxi is indeed a tycoon, and he can think of such a method."
Chu Huan said nonchalantly: "If you want to achieve 51% of the controlling stake in Hang Lung Properties, you must acquire some of Chen Zengxi's stocks. But he still made the wrong move. After his troubles, other retail investors
There will definitely be more crazy selling.
The stocks we bought from him were also limited, and the remaining stocks could only be thrown into his hands. If he had chosen to compromise last night, he would have been able to get at least more than 200 million in cash.
With this money, according to the abilities of Chen Zengxi and his son, it is still possible for them to make a comeback!"
Hearing what Chu Huan said, Cao Yunshang was stunned for a moment and said: "I didn't expect you to be optimistic about the abilities of Chen Zengxi, Chen Qizong and his son!"
Chu Huan chuckled lightly and said: "If Chen Zengxi had not been capable, he would not have been able to make Hang Lung Real Estate the second largest market value of Xiangjiang Chinese Real Estate before the stock market crash. It's just that this person was too greedy and blinded his own wisdom.
That’s why he ended up like this.”
Cao Yunshang nodded, "The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant!"
With the entry of Chen Zengxi, there is no longer any suspense in this acquisition battle.
When the time comes to noon, the stock market takes a temporary break.
Chu Huan already holds 52.3% of Hang Lung Properties’ shares!
The extra 1.3% in the end was because Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao were too excited to stop, but Chu Huan no longer cared about it.
To acquire Zhang Mingyi's 5% stake in Hang Lung Real Estate, Chu Huan used 30 million of "Fantasy Comics" funds. When Chu Huan came back, he had already returned the 30 million to "Fantasy Comics".
Previously, Chu Huan acquired 3% of Hang Lung Properties' shares for about 15 million Hong Kong dollars. At that time, Hang Lung Properties' stock price was even lower.
Yesterday, Chu Huan acquired 10% of Hang Lung Properties' shares for HK$70 million.
This morning’s acquisition of 34.3% of Hang Lung Properties’ shares cost HK$267.54 million!
In other words, Chu Huan only spent HKD 382.54 million on the acquisition of Hang Lung Properties this time. If the 15 million spent on the 3% stake acquired previously were subtracted, the cash Chu Huan brought back from North America would still be HKD 713.46 million.
Hong Kong dollars!
As for Chu Huan, he only used a price of nearly 400 million to control Hang Lung Real Estate with an asset value of more than 2.5 billion!
Once again, the snake swallows the whale!
“Let’s hold a press conference!”
After Chu Huan got the specific data, he preached to Cao Yunshang.
Cao Yunshang smiled and nodded: "Journalists in Xiangjiang are really busy during this period!"
It is indeed quite busy, because there are press conferences to be held from time to time, and they are all big events.
Soon, major newspapers in Xiangjiang received notification from Chu Huan, knowing that Chu Huan was going to hold a press conference again!
"Isn't this too exaggerated?"
Inside the "True News" newspaper office, a reporter preached exaggeratedly.
"How long has it been since Chu Huan established the Huaye City project? He unexpectedly won Hang Lung Real Estate once again?"
Although Chu Huan did not say what the specific matter was on the phone, reporters all over Xiangjiang were paying attention to this matter today. Everyone knew that Chu Huan would not hold a press conference if it had not been for the brilliant results.
of.
Lin Ting sat in the hall outside and said with admiration: "It is indeed exaggerated. I thought that Chen Zengxi and his son would have to resist for a while. Unexpectedly, in one morning, they surrendered.
?!"
"What can Chen Zengxi and his son do to resist? When they acquired the Golden Gate Tower, they had already established a cooperative relationship with a bank that was bigger than Overseas Trust.
As a result, there was no such thing as a statement later, and the cooperation must have been compromised. Now that Chu Huan is attacking with thunder, there is nothing they can do!"
The reporter from before said with a smile.
At this time, other reporters asked: "But this time Chu Huan's behavior was different from before. He did not take this opportunity to delist Hang Lung Real Estate and privatize it, but actually kept his status as a listed company."
"Do you think Chu Huan wants to use Hang Lung Properties to do a backdoor listing?"
Lin Ting shook her head and said, "It's impossible. If Chu Huan really wanted to do this, he had already done so when he acquired Jiahu Textile. The timing at that time was much better than now, and Chu Huan's previous statement was also
As I said, it is only a temporary acquisition of 51%, and delisting and privatization are not certain."
After listening, the rest of the people nodded repeatedly, but at the same time they expressed some incomprehension about Chu Huan's behavior.
But no matter how they don't understand, everyone has already started to take action, because they know that because of Chu Huan's acquisition, the Xiangjiang newspaper will have the headlines on the front page of tonight's evening paper and the front page of tomorrow's morning paper!
Even the war that is still going on has to give way!
Chen Zengxi, Chen Qizong and his son also learned about Chu Huan's press conference at this time.
Even though the two of them are still in the office, they can already guess the way the employees outside are looking at them.
What should we do now?
This became the only question lingering in the minds of the father and son.
Throughout the whole morning, the two of them did not sell many shares of Hang Lung Properties. It was because of their entry that other shareholders and small shareholders who held Hang Lung Properties stocks knew that Hang Lung Properties could not keep its shares.
Already.
So they all rushed to take action.
"How much did you sell?" Chen Zengxi asked Chen Qizong with a dejected face.
At this time, Chen Qizong was like an eggplant beaten by frost, saying: "Only 6 million shares were sold!"
After hearing this, Chen Zengxi was stunned.
No matter how smart a person is, once he loses his reason, he will become stupider than ordinary people. The same is true for Chen Zengxi.
After Chu Huan issued a statement this morning, Chen Zengxi has lost his mind.
So he thought he could sell more of his shares in this sell-off, and the current results have obviously proven that this is a very stupid behavior.
6 million shares is only 5% of Hang Lung Properties' shares, and he still owns more than 30% of Hang Lung Properties' shares at this time.
As Cao Wenjin said yesterday, now that Chu Huan has taken control of Hang Lung Real Estate, are these shares still useful in his own hands?
At this time, Chen Zengxi faced two problems.
Should you continue to hold these shares or sell them?
If he holds it, he has lost his controlling position in Hang Lung Real Estate. It is conceivable that what Chu Huan will do next is to take over Hang Lung Real Estate. No matter whether he reorganizes or not, and what kind of management model he adopts, one thing is for sure.
Chu Huan will definitely target himself.
The 6 million shares bought him 39 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, but what role would this cash play in Chu Huan's next plan to target him?
According to Chen Zengxi's understanding of Chu Huan, it is very likely that he will not even be able to survive under Chu Huan's control.
Then the second way is to sell your shares in Hang Lung Properties.
But to whom?
With the current market conditions in Xiangjiang, who can spend so much cash at one time to acquire the shares of Hang Lung Properties in their hands?
After much deliberation, Chu Huan is the only one left!
But selling it to Chu Huan?
Will Chu Huan still want these shares now? In addition, even if Chu Huan wants it, the price will definitely be suppressed to death!?
After thinking about this, Chen Zengxi picked up the phone. Although he had just thought that there were many people who did not have the strength to acquire the shares of Hang Lung Properties in his hands, he still had to give it a try!
Although Chen Zengxi doesn't want to admit it, he must admit that after the acquisition of Hang Lung Real Estate, Chu Huan's reputation in Xiangjiang will inevitably rise to a higher level, reaching a height that others can hardly imagine.
And under the leadership of people like Chu Huan, Hang Lung Real Estate's future prospects are bound to be very promising.
Therefore, Chen Zengxi believes that someone will be interested in his shares in Hang Lung Properties.
However, this scope must be reduced. There are not many people in Xiangjiang who are interested and have such power at this time!
So Chen Zengxi's first call was to Sanderson of Standard Chartered Bank.
"Chen, let's forget about this matter. It is true that in the hands of Chu Huan, Hang Lung Real Estate's future development prospects are considerable, but the pit you dug before is too big, and Hang Lung Real Estate's current loan is too high.
In addition, your company has no working capital now. After Chu Huan moves in, funds will definitely be injected into it. Then we, Standard Chartered Bank, will have to follow suit, and the gain outweighs the loss!"
Sanderson rejected Chen Zengxi's request.
Chen Zengxi raised his eyebrows slightly, but there was nothing he could do.
Chen Zengxi then made more than a dozen calls, but received the same reply.
No one is willing to accept their shares in Hang Lung Properties at this time.
Finally, Chen Zengxi even called HSBC Bank.
Naturally, Chen Zengxi, who was in charge of Sha Ya's office, did not get through, but she got through the phone of HSBC General Manager Shen Bi.
After Shen Bi learned about Chen Zengxi's purpose, he was moved.
Others in Xiangjiang do not have this strength, but HSBC has no concerns at all, and HSBC is also very optimistic about Chu Huan's development.
Especially after Chu Huan made a sudden attack and took over Hang Lung Real Estate, HSBC became even more optimistic about Chu Huan's development.
If you can invest in Hang Lung now, you can deepen the cooperative relationship between HSBC and Chu Huan!
Not only that, HSBC can also use its shares in Hang Lung Properties to contain Chu Huan to a certain extent.
Chu Huan's development was so fast that Shen Bi felt a sense of fear in his heart. Therefore, in Shen Bi's view, HSBC should not only form a cooperative relationship with Chu Huan, but also guard against this man who is good at creating miracles. man.
In the past, Chu Huan was very strict about his own industry, and there was no way for outsiders to penetrate into it. Even for a project as big as Huaye City, he only found four partners, but even so, Chu Huan still The absolute holding method was chosen.
It’s different now. With Hang Lung Properties, a company that Chu Huan has no intention of delisting and privatizing, HSBC can use this opportunity to enter Chu Huan’s business field!
Thinking of this, Shen Bi told Chen Zengxi that he needed to think about it, then hung up the phone and went directly to Sha Ya!
I originally thought that my suggestion would definitely be supported by Sha Ya, but it turned out to be rejected by Sha Ya.
"Shen, your idea is too exaggerated!" After listening to Shen Bi's words, Sha Ya smiled nonchalantly: "Although Chu Huan's development speed is faster, as you said, it threatens our HSBC's Status, that's impossible.
The status of HSBC in Xiangjiang and the status of Chu Huan in Xiangjiang are completely different things.
As for Hang Lung Properties, the reason why Chu Huan didn’t acquire more shares is that he was waiting for Chen Zengxi to find him and submit to him. If HSBC gets involved at this time, it will only affect our relationship with Chu Huan. cooperation between.
Although this person will not threaten our position at HSBC, judging from his current achievements, he will definitely become the second Bao Yugang in Hong Kong.
At that time, HSBC will be able to leverage on our relationship with Chu Huan to continue to increase HSBC’s influence in Hong Kong.
There are some things that we don’t need to do personally. Only by maintaining a detached status can we continue to maintain HSBC’s position in Hong Kong.”
Shen Bi was the next executive of HSBC whom she and Sang Da Shi trained together. Sha Ya patiently told Shen Bi what she was thinking.
After hearing this, Shen Bi felt that this was not the case, "Daban, Chu Huan is developing too fast, and his desire to control is very strong. If we just blindly support him, he may become Bi Bao in the future." Yu Gang is a more terrifying person, but for us, the gains outweigh the losses!"
"Haha!" Sha Ya laughed loudly and said: "Shen, you are too unfounded. As long as Xiangjiang is still in our hands, this Chu Huan will not be able to change the world and can only grow under the wings of our HSBC. Do not worry!"
After saying that, he asked Shen Bi to leave!
Shen Bi had no choice but to leave Sha Ya's office. After returning to his own office, he called Chen Zengxi back and said that HSBC was not interested in Hang Lung Properties' shares either.
After receiving HSBC's reply, Chen Zengxi understood that he had no way out.
The only thing I can do is to trade with Chu Huan!
"Daddy, are we really going to sell our shares in Hang Lung to Chu Huan? If that's the case, then we really have no way to get back Hang Lung!"
Chen Qizong didn't want to give up and let Hang Lung Real Estate become Chu Huan's property.
Chen Zengxi shook his head helplessly and said: "There is no other way. What Sanderson said just now is correct. Although we now have 39 million Hong Kong dollars in hand from selling 5% of Hang Lung's shares, this money is not enough for us."
For Chu Huan, it's not a problem at all.
As long as Chu Huan proposes to inject capital into the company, we will need to come up with the same proportion of funds. If this cycle is repeated several times, the cash in our hands will be empty, and then we will be at Chu Huan's mercy!
Selling our shares in Hang Lung Properties to Chu Huan is now the only option. At least this way we can still obtain sufficient cash.
With this cash, depending on the abilities of you, my father, my son, and your uncle, we can build a second Hang Lung Real Estate.
Now it's just that we just finished the first half with Chu Huan, and the second half hasn't started yet!"
Chen Zengxi is obviously a heroic figure. After these two days of chaos, when everything has settled, he has finally understood everything.
Now Hang Lung Real Estate is definitely unsustainable. If this is the case, then simply let it go. With cash in hand, he can completely build another Hang Lung Empire.
Hearing what Chen Zengxi said, Chen Qizong could only nod helplessly, and that was all he could do now!
"Damn Chu Huan, he must be waiting for us to find him, and he will definitely lower the price!" Chen Qizong said angrily.
Chen Zengxi didn't care so much at this time and said: "Okay, you go home first. I haven't had a good rest during this period. Go back and have a good sleep. I can go to Chu Huan's place by myself!"
After all, he is his biological son. He can face such embarrassing things by himself!
