491,What exactly is Chu Huan going to do?

When the Wheelock acquisition case was still pending, the news that Chu Huan was planning to acquire CK Asset Holdings' shares was placed on the desks of the four executives at Jardine Matheson, Swire, Wheelock, and Hehe International.

Jardine headquarters!

Jardine Taipan New Bikin urgently called Real Estate General Manager Bao Fuda into his office!

"Chu Huan wants to acquire the shares of Changshi Hefu. What do you think of this matter?"

At this time, Niubijian realized that he could not guess Chu Huan's thoughts at all.

Today, Hopewell and Jardine Matheson are cross-controlled with each other. Jardine Matheson holds 34.07% of Hopewell's shares and is now the largest shareholder of Hopewell. At the same time, Hopewell holds 5% of Land and Wharf's 3% shares.

And now Chu Huan actually bought the shares of Hefu from Changshi, which is 22.15% of Hefu's shares.

What exactly is this going to do?

"It's no secret that Chu Huan is interested in Jardine, but it doesn't make sense for him to want Hefu's shares now. Although everyone is a competitor in acquiring Wheelock, I think Swire,

Hehe International, Wheelock, and HSBC will not agree that Chu Huan has a say in Hehe!"

Bao Fuda also couldn't understand what Chu Huan was doing now. No matter how he looked at it, Chu Huan's acquisition of Hefu could only be a failure.

But it was Chu Huan who did this.

At this time, in the whole of Xiangjiang, I am afraid no one would think that Chu Huan would do something meaningless.

"Could it be that what Chu Huan wants is absolute control over Qingzhou Yingni, just like other companies under his name, to delist Qingzhou Yingni and privatize it?"

Newbijian thought of a possibility.

Bao Fuda shook his head and said: "This is impossible. Just relying on Chu Huan's shares in Hefu, since he cannot get the absolute right to speak, it is impossible for Hefu to sell Qingzhou Yingni's shares to him!"

"Then what exactly is Chu Huan going to do?"

Niubijian was in a crazy state at this time, and Chu Huan's unconventional playing style made him completely unable to understand Chu Huan's thoughts.

Bao Fuda looked at Newbikin's slightly crazy look and said: "Then what should we do? Should we take back the shares of Land and Wharf controlled by Hopeful?"

No matter what, since Cheung Kong has told everyone the news, Cheung Kong must be selling its shares in Hefu.

In the future, Chu Huan will be one of the shareholders of Hefu, so as long as both parties are in the same company, they will inevitably interact with Chu Huan. Before knowing what Chu Huan is thinking, such behavior is very dangerous.

.

Niubijian naturally understood this, but he also had his own difficulties.

"First of all, if we withdraw our shares, we will lose our right to speak in Qingzhou Yingni. If Chu Huan takes over, he may really delist Qingzhou Yingni and privatize it. By then, Hesha will be controlled by Huo

The Czar controls the cement, and Chu Huan controls the cement. Our lifeline is really in their hands.

Secondly, if the shares of Land and Wharf are redeemed, who will bear the loss?"

Faced with Newbijian's question, Bao Fuda also fell into Chen's thoughts, especially now that Yihe has already focused its business on real estate. If river sand and cement all rely on Huo Tsarhuang and Chu Huan, then they will

You can do whatever you want in these two places.

Both of them can make the two major wings of Jardine Matheson Land and Wharf, unable to eat and walk around!

Moreover, it is not that easy to recover the shares of Land and Wharf.

Exchange cash for Land and Wharf shares?

Now Qingzhou Yingni's stock price has dropped a lot compared to when they acquired it before. If it were to be recovered now, it would be a real loss.

Newbigan and Bao Fuda, although one is the chief executive of Jardine and the other is the general manager of Land, to put it bluntly, they are just two wage earners.

Can the Keswick family accept such a loss?

What's more, other companies may not necessarily agree with Hefu's sale of Land and Wharf shares.

"Should we do nothing?" Bao Fuda couldn't help but ask.

Niubijian said helplessly: "Now I think that before we understand Chu Huan's true intention, we can do nothing but watch!"

Bao Fuda suddenly felt a little crazy, "What on earth is Chu Huan going to do?"

.

"Yes, what exactly is Chu Huan going to do?"

At the Swire headquarters, Shi Huaiya and his son were also analyzing the purpose of Chu Huan's action.

Shi Yadi couldn't help but ask: "Could Chu Huan want Hefu's shares in Taikoo and Yihe?"

Shiyok Shihuaiya shook his head and said: "Impossible. If this is the case, we and Yihe will definitely not agree. As long as our two families disagree, Chu Huan will not be able to succeed!"

Swire and Jardine hold 55.86% of Hefu's shares. No matter how Chu Huan operates, as long as they stand firmly together, Chu Huan will not be able to get the shares of their company.

"And not just us, HSBC, Wheelock, and Hehe International will not agree!"

John Shi also analyzed.

"So what exactly is Chu Huan going to do?"

Shi Yadi scratched his head and couldn't help asking.

Shi York and Shi John, father and son, looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes!

.

"No matter what he does, as long as it doesn't delay our sale of Wheelock!"

At the Wheelock headquarters, John Madden was also writing about this matter to his son, Little Madden.

But compared with the Newbijian and Bowford families of Jardine and the Schweizer family of Swire, the Maddens seemed not to care so much about this matter.

Chu Huan has announced his withdrawal from the Wheelock acquisition war, which means that whatever Chu Huan does in acquiring Hefu has nothing to do with him.

John Madden and his son have only one thing on their mind right now, and that is to sell Wheelock at a high price.

"Since it has nothing to do with us, father, who should we meet next?" Madden directly changed the topic to his own sale of Wheelock.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "That old guy Qi Dezun was so active in acquiring Wheelock before, but now after hearing our offer, he is just like Changshi Lijiacheng.

I also chose to retreat and wait until others are willing to accept this price. Let’s see how they cry!”

When it came to selling Wheelock, John Madden became angry.

He has successively met with Li Jiacheng from Changshi and Qi Dezun from Hehe International, but both parties expressed that they could not accept the price they proposed.

This made John Madden very unhappy.

"Hehe International itself doesn't have much cash. In fact, from the beginning, I didn't think they had the ability to take over Wheelock. Now they are just more certain about it!"

Little Madden preached disdainfully.

John Madden nodded and said: "Call Newbigan in Jardine, it's time for them to show their presence!"

Little Madden nodded excitedly. In his heart, Yihe was the one who had the strength to take over Wheelock.

.

Jardine, Swire, and Wheelock all showed incomprehensible attitudes toward Chu Huan's acquisition of CK Capital's shares. The only difference was that Jardine and Swire regarded this matter as very important, and Wheelock did not

Didn't take this matter to heart.

But unlike Hehe International, Qi Dezun immediately called Chu Huan after learning about the incident.

Chu Huan asked Qi Dezun to meet him at his manor to discuss the matter.

Qi Dezun didn't waste any time. After putting down the phone, he took a bus to No. 12 Mount Galley Road.

In the reception room, Qi Dezun met Chu Huan.

"Director Chu, your joke is too big. After receiving the cash from the sale of Hefu shares, and with the support of HSBC, Cheung Kong really has the strength to compete with us at Wheelock, even if we end up paying a high price.

Buying the Marden family’s shares in Wheelock is not worth the gain for us!”

Qi Dezun couldn't figure out why Chu Huan would acquire the shares of Changshi Hefu. At the same time, even if you, Chu Huan, really wanted the shares of Hefu, it shouldn't be at this time!

"Mr. Taipan, please don't be angry. Have a cup of tea and calm down!" Chu Huan said with a smile.

Wu Shuhan on the side has already brought Qi Dezun a cup of tea. As for Chu Huan, naturally his favorite is iced Coke.

Qi Dezun did not drink tea, but couldn't help but ask: "Dr. Chu, you'd better tell me your thoughts, otherwise I really won't be able to drink your cup of tea!"

Chu Huan chuckled and said: "How many shares of Wheelock does Hehe International hold now?"

Qi Dezun said: "Through the equity transactions over the past six months, Hehe International now holds 27.03% of Wheelock's shares."

Chu Huan continued to ask: "So, is Hehe International now considered the second largest shareholder of Wheelock?"

Qi Dezun was stunned for a moment and said: "Of course it is!"

Chu Huan smiled and said: "That's right. Before this, everyone had a misunderstanding in their minds. Only after getting the shares of Wheelock in the hands of the Madden family can they truly control Wheelock.

rich?"

Qi Dezun nodded uncertainly again: "That's right!"

The reality is this. Although John Madden is still the chairman of Wheelock's board of directors, the real situation is that the Madden family is no longer the majority shareholder of Wheelock.

They are only third shareholders.

It lags behind Zhang Yuliang and also behind Hehe International.

Why does everyone still think Wheelock belongs to the Madden family?

First of all, Wheelock was founded by John Madden's father, George Madden. The identity of its founder made many people think that Wheelock should belong to the Madden family.

Secondly, Wheelock implements the strategy of AB shares. Although Wheelock's AB shares are not as exaggerated as the Ford family's Ford Motor Company, with 40% of the decision-making power and no non-tradable regulations, they have more say.

The B shares of the company are still in the hands of Wheelock’s board of directors.

The John Madden family actually controls Wheelock's board of directors at this stage.

Finally, the Madden family, Zhang Yuliang and Hehe International are actually at odds with each other. Although the Zhang Yuliang family is the major shareholder of Hehe International, because they hold more A shares, they do not have as much say as the Madden family.

Although Hehe International has more B shares, it still lags behind the Madden family.

This is why everyone believes that the Madden family is the real controller of Wheelock.

Just because he wanted to understand all this, after answering Chu Huan's question, Qi Dezun continued: "What I just said is right. Only when we get the Marden family's shares in Wheelock can we truly

took control of Wheelock."

Chu Huan nodded and said: "The misunderstanding I am talking about is not here. In other words, for you, this is a misunderstanding, but for others, this is not a misunderstanding."

Qi Dezun shook his head and said, "I don't understand what you mean!"

Chu Huan could only explain: "Others who want to get Wheelock have only one choice. In the hands of the Madden family, they can buy all Wheelock's AB shares.

But for Hehe International, besides this road, there is another way to go.

That’s the Wheelock stock in Zhang Yuliang’s hands!”

Qi Dezun felt that his thoughts suddenly became enlightened, and he couldn't help but said: "Yes, how could I forget this? If we can buy the shares of Wheelock in Zhang Yuliang's hands, it will naturally be in the words

It surpasses the Madden family in terms of power.”

But then Qi Dezun said: "No, there is still a problem here!"

Chu Huanxiao asked: "What's the problem?"

Qi Dezun said: "First of all, Zhang Yuliang's Wheelock stock exceeds that of John Madden, which means that the price we need to pay during the acquisition is higher. Secondly, Zhang Yuliang does not have to sell himself.

What a reason to hold Wheelock shares!”

John Madden decided to sell Wheelock because Wheelock's profits were deteriorating and they were not optimistic about Hong Kong's prospects.

But Zhang Yuliang has never heard of such concerns.

Therefore, Qi Dezun believes that the possibility of acquiring the Wheelock shares held by Zhang Yuliang is not very high.

Chu Huan smiled and said, "You always have to give it a try. What if you succeed?"

Qi Dezun didn't understand the problems Zhang Yuliang needed to face at this time, but Chu Huan did.

First of all, Zhang Yuliang is actually the same as John Madden. He is also not optimistic about the prospects of Hong Kong.

In another time and space, when Zhang Yuliang completed full control of the Zhang family's assets, due to some circumstances in his hometown, there was a large wave of capital migration in Xiangjiang. Many companies in Xiangjiang all moved their registration places to other places.

.

Among them, the most far-reaching ones are HSBC and Jardine Matheson!

Before the wave of capital migration began, HSBC had repeatedly stated that it was the HSBC of Hong Kong and would not embezzle capital. However, in fact, after completing its triangle stool tactics, HSBC had changed its registered place from

Xiangjiang moved back to England.

Jardine Matheson, on the other hand, was delisted directly in Xiangjiang.

Also involved in this wave of capital migration are Dickson Group, Chow Sang Sang Group, Tse Suilin Jewelry, Yulang International, Kowloon Bus and a series of other companies.

However, Zhang Yuliang went even more simply. He sold the Zhang Yuliang family's shares in Wheelock to Bao Yugang, sold all the properties, and immigrated to Australia with his family.

Therefore, Chu Huan was sure that as long as the price was right, Zhang Yuliang would definitely be willing to sell his Wheelock shares.

Of course, even if Zhang Yuliang doesn't want to sell, Chu Huan can still find a way to make him sell.

It's just that you can't tell Qi Dezun about this kind of thing.

Qi Dezun thought for a moment and said: "I understand, I will handle this matter!"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble Mr. Taipan!"

Qi Dezun said helplessly: "But even so, Ah Huan, I don't think you can acquire the shares of Hefu from Changshi at this time."

Chu Huan smiled and said: "Of course I have my own reasons!"

The matter was a foregone conclusion, and Qi Dezun had nothing to say. After chatting with Chu Huan for a few words about the previous conversation with John Madden, he left Chu Huan's manor.

After Qi Dezun left, Chu Huan said to Wu Shuhan: "Call those two people in!"

Wu Shuhan nodded.

After a while, Wu Shuhan led two people into Chu Huan's reception room. The two people who were cramped respectfully called: "Young Master Huan."

Chu Huan smiled and said: "Yutoubiao, Snake Ming, you two haven't seen each other for a while, so you are a lot more reserved then!"

.

Zhang Xingye Tang!

Zhang Yuliang was currently processing the documents on hand.

Of course, Zhang Yuliang knew about the Wheelock acquisition case that was making a lot of noise outside.

Zhang Yuliang also has his own thoughts on this matter.

If possible, Zhang Yuliang would naturally also want to acquire Wheelock.

After all, Wheelock is one of the four major foreign banks in Hong Kong, and its heritage is still there.

Not to mention, he himself is one of Wheelock's major shareholders.

But after weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Yuliang gave up the idea.

First, if I join the Wheelock takeover battle, it will definitely cause a huge sensation in Hong Kong. By then, I, a little-known person in Hong Kong, will definitely be known to the whole city because of this acquisition.

.

He is not worried about the whole city knowing that he is really worried about being known by his family. If that is the case, all his previous efforts will be in vain.

If a company is established by an old lady, it will definitely be impossible to conceal the loss of money.

Second, Zhang Yuliang carefully evaluated his assets and influence. In terms of assets, it should not be a big problem to get the stocks from the Madden family. The premise is that the Madden family will not sit on the ground and raise the price... Yes

Zhang Yuliang has no confidence in this matter.

Secondly, in terms of influence, I am not qualified. Although I had some connections in England because of my business in Western medicine, those connections were of no use in this matter.

After having these two concerns, Zhang Yuliang gave up the idea of ​​acquiring Wheelock.

But giving up this idea does not mean that Zhang Yuliang has no plans of his own for this matter.

"No matter who acquires Wheelock, they will never let the real estate company take care of it like the Madden family did!"

Zhang Yuliang couldn't help but get a headache when he thought about this.

But fortunately, Zhang Yuliang is a major shareholder in Federal Real Estate, which is what he can rely on.

But this reliance is obviously insufficient.

"Fanny, ask Manager Cheng to come to my office!" Zhang Yuliang pressed the phone and said.

His secretary Fanny's voice came over the phone: "Okay."

After a while, Cheng Zhitao, the general manager of Zhang Xingyetang, came to Zhang Yuliang's office.

"How did you go about what I asked you to do?"

After Zhang Yuliang came to his office, Zhang Yuliang preached directly without any nonsense.

Cheng Zhitao is the general manager of Zhang Xingyetang and Zhang Yuliang's confidant. With the help of Cheng Zhitao, Zhang Yuliang managed Zhang Xingyetang like a piece of iron, so that outsiders could not get a glimpse of the company.

Cheng Zhitao knew Zhang Yuliang well. He never talked nonsense at work, and there was even less nonsense in private.

"We already understand it. It can be said that everyone on the federal property belongs to us. Anyone who comes in will not do anything!"

This is one of the countermeasures that Zhang Yuliang thought of. Don't worry about the situation outside. The most important thing is to manage your own one-third of an acre.

As long as you own the iron bucket of Federal Real Estate, anyone who gets Wheelock will need to cooperate with you to continue to develop this company.

“What about REIT and Sullivan Development?”

Real Estate Trust, Commonwealth Real Estate, and Harliman Development are the three major real estate companies under Wheelock. The ones that Zhang Yuliang controls the most are Commonwealth Real Estate, Real Estate Trust, and Harlivan Development!

Sure enough, Cheng Zhitao's answer was the same, "One-third of the Real Estate Trust is ours, and half of the development of Xialiwen!"

This result is actually pretty good, but Zhang Yuliang is still not very satisfied.

"Accelerate our pace. According to my judgment, the Wheelock acquisition will be completed within a month or two at most. We don't have much time left!"

"yes!"

"Okay, go and do your work!"

After Cheng Zhitao left his office, Zhang Yuliang took out a piece of A4 paper from his drawer with several names written on it.

Jardine, Swire, Hehe International, Cheung Kong, Sihai, Global, Jiaku!

But at this time, Zhang Yuliang had already put an x ​​on the word ‘Jiaku’!

This x was drawn by Zhang Yuliang when Jiaku announced its withdrawal from the Wheelock acquisition.

At that time, Zhang Yuliang breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, in Xiangjiang, only Chu Huan knows what he thinks.

If Chu Huan is still in the process of acquiring Wheelock, Zhang Yuliang is not sure whether Chu Huan will use his weakness against him.

Until now, Zhang Yuliang still can't understand why the Zhang family is so low-key in Xiangjiang, and even the people inside the Zhang family don't understand the situation of the Zhang family.

How did Chu Huan know his situation so clearly.

"How did he know about my plan?"

Even now, after seeing Jiaku, Zhang Yuliang still couldn't help but think like this.

In fact, when Chu Huan's Jiaku did not announce its withdrawal from the Wheelock acquisition, Zhang Yuliang once thought about what he would do if Chu Huan found him at that time.

Did he honestly sell his shares in Wheelock to Chu Huan?

Or take some drastic measures?

As for the extreme method, Zhang Yuliang has not disclosed it to anyone, but Zhang Yuliang once made a phone call, and the other party on the phone was someone who specialized in assassination activities in Hong Kong.

Unfortunately, with Chu Huan's withdrawal, Zhang Yuliang never made that call again.

Soon, Zhang Yuliang abandoned these thoughts. After all, now that Chu Huan had withdrawn, what he needed to focus on most was how to obtain the maximum rights for himself in this Wheelock acquisition.

What he just told Cheng Zhitao to do was to ensure that there would be no internal problems within him. No matter who takes over Wheelock in the future, he would have the greatest say!

And what he has to do now is to find an alliance!

It would be even better if you can find your own alliance in advance and reach cooperation with the other party.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuliang began to check the boxes of people he wanted to cooperate with and who had the ability to cooperate with him.

First of all, Zhang Yuliang's pen fell on Sihai.

"This is a consortium formed by Sun Hung Kai, New World, Nanhai, and Huaguang. It has sufficient funds, but not enough influence!"

Zhang Yuliang spent an x ​​on Sihai.

But I only drew this one, because Zhang Yuliang found that any of the remaining five companies was likely to get the stocks from the Madden family.

"Since you're not sure which one you can get, then find the one that needs me the most!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuliang put a √ under the name of Hehe International!

After tapping the table, Zhang Yuliang was about to pick up the phone, but at this moment, the phone rang.

Zhang Yuliang frowned slightly, a little annoyed that his actions were interrupted, but he still answered the call immediately.

"Which one?"

"Zhang Sheng, I am Qi Dezun from Hehe International. Do you have time to come out and sit down for a while?"

Qi Dezun's voice came from the other side of the phone.

Zhang Yuliang's disgusted mood disappeared in an instant, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, "I have time, I wonder when Mr. Taipan is going to meet?"

"Of course the sooner the better!" Qi Dezun said with a smile.

Zhang Yuliang looked at the time and it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and said: "How about we meet in Xiangjiang at seven o'clock in the evening?"

"No problem!" Qi Dezun smiled and hung up the phone!

"It seems that Qi Dezun and I have come together!" Zhang Yuliang is in a really good mood now. After all, the party he wants to join forces with has taken the initiative to contact him.

However, this good mood lasted less than a minute before Zhang Yuliang's thoughts began to wander!

Why did Qi Dezun contact him at this time!

Do you want to join forces with yourself?

Or...does he want his Wheelock shares?

It’s no wonder that Zhang Yuliang has such an idea. Now the Wheelock acquisition case is spreading in Hong Kong, and everyone’s attention is on John Madden and his son.

Qi Dezun was the first acquirer to contact him, and Hehe International still had shares in Wheelock.

"If Qi Dezun's acquisition of Wheelock's shares from the Madden family is blocked, it is very likely that he will take a roundabout route and get the Wheelock's shares in his own hands. In this case, Hehe International will have absolute say in Wheelock!"

Zhang Yuliang thought of Qi Dezun's plan.

It can also be seen that Zhang Yuliang is a very smart person.

"Not everyone belongs to Chu Huan!"

Zhang Yuliang preached in a deep voice.

Chu Huan understood his own weaknesses, but Qi Dezun did not. Even though Qi Dezun was the chief executive of Hehe International, Zhang Yuliang was not afraid of Qi Dezun.

"Now it depends on what you want to do!"

After muttering to himself, Zhang Yuliang dialed the phone at home. When the servant heard that it was Zhang Yuliang, he quickly took the phone to Guo Geng's Buddhist hall.

Zhang Yuliang obediently told Guo Geng that he had some business matters and would not go back to have dinner with Guo Geng that evening.

Guo Geng told Zhang Yuliang to pay attention to safety.

The mother and son hung up the phone.
