At nine o'clock, the Wharf takeover battle officially begins!
Bao Yugang also forced himself to forget about Chu Huan's temporary disappearance in Xiangjiang, and focused all his attention on this acquisition war.
It was Fengwu Securities that acquired Wharf shares for Bao.
It was HSBC's Duoli and Jardine's Jardine who acquired Wharf shares for Land!
Although in terms of quantity, 2 is greater than 1, in fact, in order to cooperate with Bao's acquisition, Feng Wu Securities was established in more than a dozen areas including Central, Sheung Wan, Western District, Causeway Bay, North Point, Mong Kok, Kowloon, and Tsim Sha Tsui East.
In terms of acquisition points, Fengwu Securities is more profitable than Shouduo Securities, and the two acquisition points of Yifu combined are more profitable.
Bao Yugang not only has to pay attention to the acquisition situation of Fengwu Securities at all times, but also the acquisition situation of Duoli and Yifu.
In other words, at every acquisition point, people from Bao Yugang are keeping an eye on it. In fact, it is not just Bao Yugang who is doing this, but Land Group is also doing this.
At this time, both parties have come up with their own conditions, and now it depends on the reaction of investors.
"How's the situation?"
Bao Yugang was sitting in his office, looking seriously at Wu Guangzheng, who had just come back to report the news, and asked.
Wu Guangzheng stood opposite Bao Yugang and said with a somewhat disappointed look, "Although Fengwu Securities has more acquisition points, according to our people's reports and the company's internal statistics, Wharf will be sold to the other party."
There are more people in stocks!”
Bao Yugang's face was a little gloomy. He had devoted all his property to this acquisition. If it failed, it would be a huge blow to the Bao family!
When Wu Guangzheng saw Bao Yugang's expression, he thought for a moment and comforted him, "Dad, actually you don't have to worry so much. Although the other party has more people than us, we have more shares than them. What we acquired before, plus the
The shares of Wharf owned by Li Jiacheng that we bought yesterday are already much higher than those of Land.
The lack of numbers now actually won’t have much of an impact.”
However, Bao Yugang did not seem to relax because of Wu Guangzheng's comfort. Instead, he said dissatisfiedly, "How can you be sure that Landmark won't meet people like Li Jiacheng? The number of stocks in each person's hands is different.
How do you judge that those who queue up to sell Wharf stocks have the same number of stocks in their hands?"
Wu Guangzheng lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
Su Haiwen on the other side reminded, "Daddy, the reason why there are so many people on Land's side is because their acquisition plan includes an extra 1 yuan dividend, which makes more Wharf shareholders have a negative attitude towards them."
If we want to win over Land, we still need to increase the acquisition price!”
In fact, Su Haiwen had already mentioned this discussion to Bao Yugang when Real Estate had just come up with their acquisition plan. However, with the disappearance of Chu Huan, they were temporarily unable to raise so much funds. If it exceeded
If you set a price that you can afford, it will be even more troublesome if Mr. Bao cannot come up with the money.
Bao Yugang muttered, "Wait a minute, we are now in the leading position. If it is still the same by this evening, we can only raise our own purchase price!"
Wu Guangzheng suddenly said at this time, "By the way, didn't Chu Huan say before he disappeared that the remaining 500 million Hong Kong dollars would be transferred to Hong Leong International's account this afternoon?"
Su Haiwen said with some dissatisfaction, "Do you still believe in Chu Huan at this time?"
When Wu Guang faced Su Haiwen's accusation, he replied with some fierce words, "In addition to trusting Chu Huan, do we have any other options at this time?"
The problems that Bao Yugang is facing now are actually similar to the problems that Henry Keswick is facing. Although it is difficult for them to raise hundreds of millions of cash, it is not impossible. But now there is a best solution.
The important issue is time!
Hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in cash, not hundreds of thousands or millions, can be raised casually. Whether it is lent to them or mortgaged by them for loans, this will take time!
As the other party that directly competed with Land, the atmosphere at this time was not as relaxed as yesterday. When work time came this morning, Henry Keswick received a phone call, and this phone call made them feel uncomfortable at this time.
Good cause.
"Li Jiacheng, a duplicitous villain, has been secretly acquiring our Wharf stock and selling the stock to Bao Yugang. It's simply abominable!"
Bao Fuda was extremely angry and preached at this time.
Once upon a time, Li Jiacheng had a partnership with them, and even co-founded Hefu Investment to compete with Chu Huan in Qingzhou Yingni. However, now Li Jiacheng has invested in Chinese businessmen without looking back, and directly sold his Wharf stocks.
For Bao Yugang, how could such a situation not make Bao Fuda angry!
"According to our people, Hong Leong International paid HK$2.5 billion to Li Jiacheng from its account. According to Hong Leong International's acquisition price of Wharf, the stock should be 2.38 million shares. If this share is added, this amount will be
At that time, Mr. Bao already held more than 34% of Wharf’s shares!”
Although Niubijian was also very angry, he was still able to maintain his rationality and calculate the gap between them.
However, judging from the data they obtained, it can also be known that although they can know some of Hong Leong International's situation, what they know is not very detailed.
Otherwise, they would not think that Li Jiacheng just sold Wharf shares for HK$2.5 billion.
Henry Keswick nodded and said, "We can still accept this number. Haven't our people already said that more people come to us to sell Wharf shares? Although there is a gap in shareholding between us,
We have more cash in hand and can acquire more Wharf stocks on this basis.
Without the support of Chu Huan, Bao Yugang will inevitably be short of funds in the final sprint. By then, those who want to sell Wharf stocks will no longer believe them and will definitely come to us.
Selling their stocks!"
"But" Bao Fuda said with some worry, "we will also face a shortage of funds in the later period. Chu Huan has not shown up yet. If he finally decides not to buy Wellcome and 7-11, then we will also be unable to
Raised more funds in a short period of time!”
Niubijian shook his head and said, "No, between us and the Bao family, Chu Huan can only choose one of two, either to support Bao Yugang or to make a deal with us. He hasn't shown up yet, so that's it."
There is a high probability that he is supporting us."
Although Henry Keswick agreed with Newbijian's statement, Bao Yugang's current situation had shown Henry Keswick that he could not place all his hopes on Chu Huan alone. He would definitely still have to
With more preparation, it is possible to deal with unexpected situations that may occur next.
"Prepare both ends. We will continue to borrow money now, as much as we can borrow. The most important thing is to delay these three days. As long as these three days pass, our funds in England can be credited, and then no one can
It is impossible to take the Wharf away from us!"
Newbijian and Bao Fuda could only nod their heads.
The battle for Wharf can be said to have attracted the attention of the whole of Hong Kong, and it is even more like HSBC, the super consortium that supports Land Group behind the scenes.
"How is the situation now?" Roy Bentley sat in his office and asked Shen Bi, who was specifically responsible for this matter.
Shen Bi said, "Judging from the current situation, Land is currently in the lead, but Bao's foundation is better. There is no clue as to who will win in the end!"
Roy Bentley looked at Shen Bi and asked, "You should know that not only they both can't afford to lose this battle, but we can't afford to lose either, right?"
As long as Chu Huan does not formally enter into a transaction with Yihe, the specific situation is that Bao and Land are fighting to the death, while Jiaku and HSBC are secretly competing.
Pu Weishi, who was sitting opposite Shen Bi, said at this time, "I think this acquisition war is actually over. Chu Huan has disappeared all night and all morning. This is obviously deliberately avoiding Bao Yugang."
, from the moment he disappeared, the sense of competition between us was actually not that strong.
We all know Chu Huan’s character. This person is very confident. If he really wants to support Bao Yugang, he will definitely not disappear. Even if Henry Keswick comes to him personally, if Chu Huan doesn’t
Yes, there is nothing Henry Keswick can do about it.
Moreover, Wellcome, 7-11 is so attractive. If Yunhai Group can acquire it, then Yunhai Group’s monopoly in the retail industry will exceed Jiaku’s monopoly in all other industries in Hong Kong. He will not
Maybe you won’t be moved!”
Pu Weishi's answer made Roy Bentley and Shen Bi breathe a sigh of relief.
"It seems that now we can only wait and see the competition between them. This time we have to see who can continue to dominate the world in Hong Kong!"
Roy Bentley's calm sermon.
Shen Bi and Pu Weishi looked at each other. At this time, they could only wait helplessly!
Since nine o'clock in the morning, people have been queuing up at Fengwu Securities, Duoli, and Yee Fu purchase points, and cash and checks have been flowing out of the accounts of Hong Leong International and Land.
Until noon, there were still people queuing up.
Bao Yu just left the Prince's Building and came to the acquisition point of Fengwu Securities in Central. Looking at the people queuing up, his anxious mood finally relaxed a little.
Behind the acquisition point of Fengwu Securities is the Chinese Bank, the headquarters of Jiaku.
Wu Guangzheng, who was sitting next to Bao Yugang, asked Bao Yugang, "Daddy, do you want to go up and have a look? Maybe Chu Huan has come back by this time?"
Bao Yugang shook his head and said, "No, it's useless to do these things at this time. We just need to wait until the afternoon to see if the money promised by Ah Huan has been credited to the company's account, and we'll know!"
After a pause, Bao Yugang seemed to be speaking to Wu Guang, and also seemed to be giving a sermon to comfort himself.
"Huo Tsar, since Li Jiacheng and others believe in Chu Huan so much, we have no reason not to believe in Chu Huan. Yes, we must believe in Chu Huan!"
Wu Guang was listening to Bao Yugang's soliloquy. He didn't know what to say for a moment. It felt really bad to leave his fate in the hands of others.
"Go back to the company!"
Bao Yugang preached in a deep voice, and then the driver started the car and returned to Prince's Building, the headquarters of Global Shipping!
"Daddy, let's eat something first. You haven't eaten anything for a day!" Su Haiwen said when he saw Bao Yu just coming back.
Bao Yugang shook his head and said, "No need, how much money is left in the company's account now?"
When launching the acquisition war for Wharf, Bao Yugang had 400 million Hong Kong dollars in cash in his own account, plus the 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash lent to them by Chu Huan, for a total of 1.4 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash.
Previously, 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars were used to trade Wharf stocks in Li Jiacheng's hands, leaving 11.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash.
Judging from the trading volume this morning, a lot of this money must have been spent.
Su Haiwen said, "A total of HK$300 million was spent this morning, and the company still has HK$8.5 billion in cash in its account."
"Three hundred million Hong Kong dollars, which means we have almost acquired 267% of Wharf's shares. In addition to what we acquired before and the shares held by Li Jiacheng, we now hold 3934% of Wharf's shares!"
Bao Yugang looked at Su Haiwen and asked.
Su Haiwen nodded and said, "That's right!"
"Do you know the situation over there?" Bao Yugang asked.
Su Haiwen was a little embarrassed and said, "I don't know the specific number, but I can be sure that the shares acquired by the other party will definitely exceed ours!"
Bao Yugang nodded slightly and said, "Fortunately, we had a lot more shares than them before, otherwise, it would be in danger now!"
Su Haiwen and Wu Guangzheng also looked a little lucky.
"You two are optimistic about the company's account. As soon as the funds promised by Chu Huan arrive, you will immediately increase the purchase price and purchase Wharf's shares at a price of 107 Hong Kong dollars per share, and announce it to the public. This is our final purchase price.
."
Bao Yu just spoke out.
The expressions of Su Haiwen and Wu Guangzheng suddenly changed. First, they were surprised that Bao Yugang still believed that the money Chu Huan promised to lend them would be received as promised.
"Daddy, is it too risky for us to place our treasure on Chu Huan at this time?" Su Haiwen couldn't help but ask.
Wu Guangzheng reacted quickly and said, "Daddy, what you mean is that if Chu Huan's funds arrive, we can do this, but if the funds promised by Chu Huan do not arrive, we will continue."
Are you spending this much money with Land and waiting for the funds to arrive later? Do you want to do this again?”
Bao Yugang nodded and said, "That's right!"
Bao Yugang later explained, "If we don't do this, it will be difficult to guarantee that people like Li Jiacheng will not appear in the acquisition of Land, and it is also difficult to guarantee that they will accumulate a small amount into a large amount and eventually counterattack us!"
After listening to Bao Yugang's analysis, Su Haiwen and Wu Guangzheng could only nod silently.
Then they raised their second question.
The second is surprise and if they announce a price increase at this time, it is likely to cause malicious competition with Land. When they increase the purchase price, Land will definitely also increase the purchase price. At that time, shareholders see such a situation
, it is very likely that they will subconsciously think that this price will rise. If this is the case, will they continue to sell their Wharf stocks? Should they continue to wait and see whether these two companies will continue to
Price increase?
More importantly, even if they have the support of Huo Tsarhuang, Li Jiacheng and others, the price of HK$107 per share is still not enough for the funds in their hands to meet this acquisition price?
In response to this question from the two of them, Bao Yugang sighed helplessly and said, "Now we are going to make a bet to see who will finish the bullets in his hands first, between us and Land.
Nowadays, it is impossible for Landmark to give up Wharf, so we can only fight a war of attrition, and you must understand the truth that Landmark can afford to lose, but we cannot afford to lose!"
The oil tankers are already being sold. If they are unable to take over Wharf, then the Wharf stocks in their hands will fall crazily after the Wharf acquisition war ends. By then, the entire Bao family will have lost 2 to 3 billion Hong Kong dollars. In this way
Even Bao Yugang cannot afford the loss!
It is no exaggeration to say that this battle is related to Bao's life and death!
While Su Haiwen and Wu Guangzheng were still digesting Bao Yugang's words, Bao Yugang's secretary suddenly rushed in and gave a nervous lecture.
"Chairman, I just received the news that Land announced an increase in the purchase price of Wharf shares, from the previous price of 105 Hong Kong dollars per share to 107 Hong Kong dollars per share, and stated that this is their final purchase price, regardless of the future.
No matter what happens, the price will not be raised again!"
In the office, Bao Yugang, Wu Guangzheng, and Su Haiwen were shocked. They were discussing the price increase just now, but now the other party has raised the price first!
"How is this possible?" Wu Guangzheng exclaimed, "How can they have so much money?"
Yes, Henry Keswick and others, who were still worried about raising funds in the future, why did they suddenly increase the purchase price at this time?
"Dad, I just saw the news in the newspaper. Through the afternoon newspaper, Land announced that it had increased the acquisition price of Wharf, from the previous 105 Hong Kong dollars per share to the current 107 Hong Kong dollars per share!"
Huo Zhenting took the newspaper and hurriedly found Emperor Huo.
When Emperor Huo heard the news, he was a little surprised and asked the same question as Wu Guangzheng, "Where did they get so much money?"
Huo Zhenting analyzed, "Could it be that they had already prepared this money just to launch a surprise attack on Bao Yugang at this time?"
Emperor Huo immediately said, "This is impossible. After A Huan disappeared, Hongkong Land announced the acquisition of Wharf stocks. I believe that Henry Keswick and others must have known that A Huan left Hong Kong at that time. That is to say
At that time, they should have understood that there were some problems in the cooperation between A Huan and Bao Yugang. If this was the case, they could have announced an increase in their purchase price from the beginning, which would be more beneficial to them.
But now they have temporarily increased the purchase price, which shows that this is the money they suddenly got."
Huo Zhenting was a little confused and said, "Then how did they get the money?"
“How did Land suddenly raise this capital?”
At the Changshi headquarters, Li Jiacheng, who had been paying attention to this matter, was also full of surprise after seeing the newspaper in his hand. He believed that Henry Keswick could raise the funds, but in such a short period of time
Li Jiacheng couldn't believe that so much money had been raised in such a short period of time!
"Chairman, if this is the case, Bao Yugang's side is likely to lose. If this is the case, our 27.5 billion Hong Kong dollars with them will be in danger!"
Sheng Songsheng couldn't help but preach.
Nowadays, everyone knows that Bao's funds are insufficient, and then Real Estate suddenly takes out more cash. In this situation, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Bao's is in danger this time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, Li Jiacheng only received less than half of Bao Yugang’s 5 million Wharf shares. If Bao cannot win Wharf, he will lose 2 to 3 billion.
Hong Kong dollars, it will be really dangerous if they want to recover the funds by then. Even if Bao Yugang is creditworthy, it will be a matter of years and months before the money can be returned.
Zhou Qianhe also said with some excitement at this time, "Chairman, we should call Bao Yugang immediately at this time and ask him to return the remaining 27.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, otherwise, we will bear the loss for Bao Yugang!
"
Li Jiacheng did not answer their questions immediately. Li Jiacheng naturally knew what the problem was, but
"If we seek funds from the Bao family at this time, although they can give us the money, the Bao family will completely lose. If we wait for the Xiangjiang Chinese-owned consortium to acquire the British-owned consortium, we don't know.
When is it up!"
What Li Jiacheng said was the same as what he said before about Zheng Jiachun's national integrity. Naturally, Li Jiacheng did not view this matter because of the issue of national integrity.
But he understands his identity. In the eyes of outsiders, he is a Chinese businessman, and the Chinese businessmen's acquisition of the British-funded consortium is an opportunity for the Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong to have more opportunities to expand themselves in the future.
Sheng Songsheng, Zhou Qianhe and both of them knew about Li Jiacheng's ambitions, but they had to persuade him at this time.
"Chairman, that will happen in the future. HK$27.5 billion is not a small amount. This money can be said to be our largest income this year. If we have this money, we can carry out many projects next year."
, as long as we can develop steadily, we may be the Chinese businessmen who acquire the British-funded consortium in Xiangjiang in the future, but without this money, we may continue to lag behind others!"
Li Jiacheng thought for a moment, then waved his hands and said, "We can't do this, at least not now. It's not yet time for Chu Huan to agree to lend money to Bao Yugang. If we find Bao Yugang and ask for money at this time,
When the time came for Chu Huan to agree to help Bao Yugang and transfer the money, Chu Huan actually lent money to Bao Yugang.
Then we will lose when the time comes. Not only will everything we have done before be in vain, but even those foreign-funded companies will think that we are two-faced villains and we must not do this!"
Sheng Songsheng couldn't help but said, "Chairman, how long has it been since this happened? You still have so many concerns. What's more, even Chu Huan has given up helping Bao Yugang now. We are just protecting ourselves now!"
Obviously, at this time, Sheng Songsheng no longer believed that Chu Huan would help Bao Yugang.
Li Jiacheng shook his head and said, "You always have to wait. I always think that Chu Huan's behavior this time is different from his style. Wait, wait, wait!"
The last two words ‘wait a little longer’ are like Li Jiacheng cheering himself up!
With a loud voice, Zhou Qian and the two looked at each other speechlessly!
Not only Bao Yugang, Huo Shahuang, Li Jiacheng and others were confused about this matter, but even HSBC, which supported Land, was confused by Land's sudden price increase.
"Have you contacted Henry?" Roy Bentley looked at Shen Bi and asked.
They have a better convenience than Bao Yugang, Huo Tsar, Li Jiacheng and others, that is, as a partnership, they can directly contact Henry Keswick to inquire about the truth of the problem.
Shen Bi nodded and said, "We have been contacted. Henry Keswick said that the funds were sent from England!"
"England?" Roy Bentley was stunned for a moment and said, "How could they raise this amount of funds so quickly in England?"
Shen Bi shook his head and said, "Henry Keswick did not answer, but from the other party's tone, we can also feel that he was also a little surprised at the arrival of the funds!"
Henry Keswick was indeed a little surprised, but at the same time he looked at the young man in front of him with some surprise.
Michael Keswick is a character who will be forgotten if he doesn't show up.
The one who formed the Avengers Alliance with Huang Yulang and others to target Chu Huan.
With the failure of that attack, Michael Keswick became less and less valued in the Keswick family. Later, Henry Keswick returned to London, and he followed him back.
But this time, he impressed Henry Keswick. Before coming to Hong Kong from London, Henry Keswick contacted his connections in England to borrow money. Although the other party agreed to borrow money, it took time to raise funds, and the The time is also Wednesday this week.
As a result, Michael Keswick made many rounds in London and actually got the other party to prepare the funds in advance.
Just when Henry Keswick was discussing today's acquisition with Newbikin, Bao Fuda and others, Michael Keswick came to the office with the funds.
"Haha, the whole of Xiangjiang is confused now, no one would have thought that we would have this extra amount of funds at this time!"
Bao Fuda was extremely happy to preach at this time.
Henry Keswick looked at Michael Keswick with admiration and praised, "Michael, you did a good job this time!"
"Then are we sure to win the Wharf this time?"
Michael Keswick also asked excitedly.
"With your funds, our hopes are even greater, but we still need to trade with Chu Huan as soon as possible!"
Although Michael Keswick brought back some funds, they still have a big hole and still need Chu Huan's funds!
Michael Keswick frowned slightly when he heard Chu Huan's name. He didn't know the conversation between Henry Keswick and Chu Huan.
"Why is there still Chu Huan's transaction?" At this time, Michael Keswick also had the courage to ask about this matter.
Bowfull received instructions from Henry Keswick and began to answer Michael Keswick's questions.
Bao Yugang sat on his chair, looking a little dazed, as if everything was over.
Is it really going to fail?
Bao Yugang clenched his fists tightly.
At this moment, the phone on his desk rang, and Bao Yugang subconsciously picked up the phone.
"That one?"
"Chu Huan!"
Also, typos should be corrected first and then corrected. Huangshan will continue to code~
