When Cathay City announced the acquisition of 31% of the shares of Grand Hotel, it immediately caused a whirlwind in the stock market.
Although Lin Zuhui is not a full-time ‘sniper’, he has had this experience;
In addition, in the eyes of investors, every stock that Lin Zuhui has touched has gone up.
Therefore, stock investors began to rush to buy the hotel's shares. For a while, the hotel's stock price was like a kite that had taken off its string, flying out of the sky.
Kadoorie family.
Although Mi Gao is forty-six years old, he is actually still just a rich second generation in Xiangjiang. When encountering difficulties, his first reaction is still to find his father.
"Father, the shares of the hotel have risen too fast. Lin Zuhui must be sweeping up the market!" Mi Gao said worriedly.
Now it's as if the enemy is approaching fiercely, but the Kadoorie family is not yet prepared.
Rowlands suddenly exclaimed: "Oops! It's Lin Zuhui's plan. He created public opinion in the market and swept away goods. His purpose is very simple, that is to increase the hotel's stock price. He calculated that we lacked financial resources, so he did not give us any money.
We have the opportunity to increase our holdings.”
Mi Gao nodded and said, "What should we do now?"
Rowlands said: "For the current plan, there are only two ways to stop Lin Zuhui: first, insist not to let Lin Zuhui join the board of directors; second, I will lobby various shareholders to support us on the board of directors. Our family has been running a large hotel for half a year.
In the minds of shareholders, he must be the most suitable candidate to take charge of the hotel! In addition to these two points, you can also refute Lin Zuhui in the newspaper. If he is a long-term investment, why is he shopping in the market?"
Mi Gao nodded and said, "Okay, I will do it!"
Lawrence was still uneasy and continued: "If you tell the media again that Lin Zuhui intends to strip off the skin and bones of the hotel and split it up. In this way, they will naturally not get the support of shareholders. Not only that, but also
After a period of time, you go to the securities market to file a complaint, saying that Cathay City's shareholding exceeds 35%, but it does not initiate a comprehensive acquisition."
"They shouldn't make this mistake, right?"
"Hu Tu, these are just discrediting Lin Zuhui and causing trouble. It doesn't matter whether they committed the crime or not. What is important is that the China Securities Regulatory Commission is going to find trouble for them. Also, we have to expose it in the media and expose Cathay City's finances.
Under the media, let those people see that their company is just a big debtor, and swallowing the whale like this will have serious consequences. And the loan syndicates will also be very nervous."
As expected, the old Kadoorie changed one link after another and found the weaknesses of Cathay City and Lin Zuhui one by one.
.......
Wednesday, February 18th.
In a building on Queen's Road, Lin Zuhui sat in the office of his new company and met Liang Botao, who was invited.
This company is also a newly established investment company by Lin Zuhui, named Hengjin Securities. He did not set up an investment company for no reason, but was preparing to lay out the global financial market, or in other words, develop the financial field.
A recent investment plan is: shorting US stocks, Hong Kong stocks, Nikkei, London index, etc. before the '87 global stock market crash'.
Of course, he didn't plan to invest too much, he would be satisfied with a small profit of 2 billion.
In order to avoid being caught by others and put on the "unwelcome" list.
"You have to help me introduce some talents, otherwise I really don't know anything about this industry!"
Liang Botao smiled and said: "With your reputation, why are you worried that there will be no financial talents to invest?"
Lin Zuhui shook his head and said: "I just want this company to keep a low profile, because in the future it will mainly help me invest in overseas financial products."
Only then did Liang Botao understand Lin Zuhui's purpose. He was a little surprised, but he soon felt relieved. He was helping Lin Zuhui manage his personal securities investment business, mainly investing in blue chip stocks, so he knew that Lin Zuhui had made more than one billion in profits from blue chip stocks at this time.
.Furthermore, there are rumors that Lin Zuhui invested in many futures contracts. Based on Liang Botao's guess, Lin Zuhui may have earned hundreds of millions of dollars from that.
With such a huge personal wealth, it is understandable that the global finance is deployed!
"Okay, anyway, you are a generous boss, I believe someone will be willing to invest!"
Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "You only need to introduce him, and I will do the rest to talk to him face to face. It is best if we can work together!"
He not only asked Liang Botao to help introduce financial talents, but he was also looking for talents in this field;
Because the requirements are high, he is not in a hurry to establish and perfect Hengjin Securities.
Lin Zuhui trusted Liang Botao very much. After all, as long as you show distrust for such a talent, others will not be willing to help you.
Therefore, Lin Zuhui revealed an investment plan that he had buried in his heart.
“What do you think of crocodile shirts?”
Liang Botao was surprised again. He knew that Lin Zuhui would not mention a brand like "crocodile shirt" for no reason.
"A very high-quality brand. It is the first first-class clothing brand for us Chinese to truly go global! Almost every Hong Kong person has started wearing crocodile shirt series products since they were born, and until they grow up, many people have become
Entrepreneurs or successful people have always chosen crocodile shirts to accompany their growth and success. In Hong Kong, whether they are billionaires or ordinary citizens, white-collar beauties or blue-collar workers, they are all loyal to crocodile shirts.
customer."
Changing the topic, Liang Botao said: "Is the Chen Jun family interested in selling?"
Lin Zuhui said: "I'm not sure, but I want to try it!"
Historically, Lin Baixin's family acquired the crocodile shirt in September, purchasing 73.5% of Chen Jun's family's shares for a total of 1.3 billion.
Crocodile shirts were launched in 1973 and have a complete design center, industrial plants, global sales network, global procurement center and other complete structures; in terms of material selection, most of them are European fabrics; in terms of design, all are made by international
Designed by famous designers, hundreds of clothing varieties are launched every year.
The important thing is that Lin Zuhui knows that at its peak, the annual sales of crocodile shirts were 10 billion, and the net profit was also 2 billion.
He could acquire such a high-quality asset even if he borrowed money. What's more, before the August 7th stock market crash, he could have a cash flow of 6 billion; plus the short-selling funds, he had a cash flow of 8 billion.
Why worry about spending money in advance without having the funds to repay it?
Liang Botao knew Lin Zuhui's strength and hidden wealth in the billions.
Therefore, he said: "The current market value of crocodile shirts is around 1 billion, and the Chen Jun family holds more than 70% of the shares; even if their family wants to sell, they may wait until the market is booming."
Lin Zuhui said without hesitation: "So I plan to take over their shares at a premium!"
For Lin Zuhui, since he has a heart value of 1.3 billion, he is willing to spend 1.3 billion to acquire it in advance.
Otherwise, his competitors will emerge in August or September, and there will be too many variables.
Liang Botao said: "Well, let me help you investigate the net worth of Crocodile Shirt first, and then we will discuss the specific acquisition!"
He knew that since Lin Zuhui told him about this, he must have entrusted him to help with the acquisition.
Lin Zuhui nodded. Although the highest price in his mind was 1.3 billion, he had high hopes of completing the acquisition at 1 billion to 1.2 billion; even so, it was considered a high premium.
Liang Botao asked again: "How do you raise funds?"
For a moment, Lin Zuhui had to think.
"The market value of my Wanhui Media is already 900 million, and the shares and certified shares I hold are at least 600 million. If all are mortgaged, I should be able to receive a 400 million loan! The shares I hold in New Era Real Estate are worth 2.5 billion, but
I pledged almost one-third of the shares, and I can still pledge a loan of 1 billion. In this way, I should be able to borrow more than 1 billion."
Liang Botao frowned and said, "The risk is too great for you to make such a desperate move!"
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "How can there be a risk? The asset value of crocodile shirts is obvious to all! Secondly, even if the situation in 1982 really happens, I believe I will not go bankrupt! At least I will not owe money or be in debt."
He basically gambled all his assets to complete this round of expansion!
There is no way, the opportunity is rare and he doesn't want to miss it!
As for the loan issue, he has no worries at all. The banker will not miss it.
First, he has collateral; second, what is the value of the crocodile shirt?
Liang Botao liked Lin Zuhui's adventurous spirit, so he was also infected and said: "Well, I can still help you introduce the loan again, but you have to find a few syndicates yourself."
Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Don't worry, my reputation is still trustworthy in the eyes of bankers."
