Chapter 42: The Deviation between Reality and Memory
The storm in Wharf is still going on, and even the Spring Festival cannot dilute the enthusiasm of investors and securities investment institutions for it.
In just a few days, the unit price of Wharf has exceeded 20 Hong Kong dollars, a surge of nearly 80% since January.
Within Xinjian Investment Company, there are also differences of opinion. Deputy General Manager Li Zaiwei, who insists on continuing to hold the stocks in his hands, while Investment Department Manager Zhou Pengfei believes that it is better to take advantage of Wharf's rising trend and slow down.
Slowly ship on the stock market to ensure that the company will not be trapped in it.
Although Li Zaiwei has greater power as deputy general manager, he cannot act arbitrarily in the face of opposition from many senior executives.
Finally, he and Zhou Pengfei came to Li Jianhui's office and reported the two opinions to Li Jianhui, who made a decision.
If it were a company he had never heard of in his previous life, Li Jianhui would definitely support Zhou Pengfei's opinion and settle down.
But Wharf's battle to become the king of chartered ships was another victory for the Chinese-owned family in Hong Kong against the Yingzi Consortium after Li Chaoren's victory over Hutchison Whampoa, which changed the status of the Chinese-owned business community in Hong Kong.
Moreover, Wharf's assets are indeed good. Even if they are trapped in the stock market, they will not suffer losses if they hold these shares.
Even if the charter king doesn't take action, he will take action after his gold futures plan is completed and seize the company from Jardine Matheson.
In the future, it would be better for Xiangjiang to have fewer heroic enterprises. This will be more conducive to the stability of Xiangjiang. Especially for enterprises like Jardine, leaving Xiangjiang will be the best for the development of Xiangjiang.
He spoke out: "Pengfei, you have many wrong suggestions. Our Xinjian Investment Company mainly focuses on stable income investments and will never engage in stud-style gambling.
But I have other plans for this Wharf, and it is not the time to release it yet. Please pay attention to the situation in front of the stock market, and report any news to me immediately, especially to see if that force will jump out and confront Jardine."
Until now, Li Jianhui does not know that Wharf has nothing to do with Charter King this time. He holds shares costing HK$50 million and is waiting for the battle between Charter King and Jardine.
I thought that if I sell it to the charter king at a higher price, I can not only make a lot of profits, but also sell it to the charter king as a favor.
Also because of the memory of his previous life, reality slapped him hard. In the second week, Wharf was still rising at a high speed in the first two days, and countless investors cheered.
On Wednesday, short selling suddenly appeared in the market, and the unit price had exceeded the 25 Hong Kong dollar Wharf upward trend. Then it turned sharply downward.
At the close of trading on Friday, the price had fallen below 20 Hong Kong dollars, and there was still a lot of short selling in the market, with no sign of picking up again.
In the investment department office, Li Jianhui also knew that he had been tricked by that force. The other party just wanted to make a profit. He actually naively thought that the charter king was preparing to enter the game.
As a result, he himself was trapped in it, and that force had already made money and left the market, but it only cheated him and a large number of retail investors and even securities investment companies.
Fortunately, Xinjian Investment Company entered the market early, with an average purchase price of 15.2 Hong Kong dollars. Even if it has fallen below 20 Hong Kong dollars, he still has no losses, it is just that the stock has been locked up.
Moreover, the Wharf shares currently acquired by Xinjian Investment Company are only 3.56% and do not need to be reported to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Now he can only regard this stock as a long-term investment and has no plans to perform it for the time being.
This incident can be said to have woken him up. Because of his arrival, many things in this world have already deviated. Some things that happened in the previous life may not appear in this life.
Especially in the future in the stock market, you need to be extra careful and pay attention to market changes at all times. When it is time to leave the market, you cannot think about what happened in your previous life and you must withdraw without hesitation.
You must know that on this Monday, not only Zhou Pengfei, but also Li Zaiwei, who had insisted on holding Wharf stocks before, reminded him to clear his stocks.
But he insisted that the charter king would come out and did not follow the advice of these two men. As a result, he lost the shares in his own hands.
Li Jianhui said in a deep voice: "Deputy General Manager Li, Manager Zhou, leave the Wharf shares for the time being and ignore them for the time being, and do not touch other long-term investment shares.
I will transfer 15 million Hong Kong dollars to you from my personal account in the afternoon. You can continue to disconnect this part of the funds. I will not interfere with how to invest."
Although the available funds were somewhat small, the two men happily agreed.
You must know that Wharf + other long-term shares have locked up more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars in the company. Now Li Jianhui can still inject 15 million into them, which is already quite difficult.
You must know that Xinjian Investment Company is different from many investment companies in Xiangjiang. This company only serves Li Jianhui and will not absorb external funds. In other words, all the assets of Xinjian Investment Company belong to Li Jianhui alone.
If the liabilities of Huihong Gaming Company are not included, the assets of Xinjian Investment Company are enough to propel the Li Jianhui family into the ranks of Hong Kong's wealthy families.
We must know that their previous long-term investment of 80 million Hong Kong dollars in shares has benefited from the rise in housing prices in Hong Kong. In one and a half months, the assets have increased by 6.8%. The current market value of these shares is 85.44 million Hong Kong dollars.
In addition, in Kowloon, even though the price per share has dropped below 20 Hong Kong dollars, the 50 million Hong Kong dollars invested, the shares have now reached more than 63.4 million Hong Kong dollars, and the profit is more than 13.4 million Hong Kong dollars, far exceeding the long-term investment.
This is because it has dropped to 19.8 Hong Kong dollars. If Li Jianhui had not persisted, at least more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars in profits would have been pocketed.
While Li Jianhui was regretting not clearing his position in advance, the man behind the scenes who had made nearly 40 million Hong Kong dollars listened to the reports from his subordinates, and there was no trace of joy in his heart.
His goal was to capture Wharf and attack his biggest competitor. However, after all the hard work, Chen Yaojin made him plan to go bankrupt.
Although I made a lot of money this time, I still alerted the enemy. It will be much more difficult to take action against Jardine in the future.
As for why he wants to release the shares, firstly, Jardine is already repurchasing the company's shares, secondly, the shares in his hand are still far from being able to compete with Jardine, and thirdly, he does not want the guy who ruins his plan.
Profit.
He hated Chen Yaojin who came out halfway. If it weren't for this guy, it would only take him three months to compete head-on with Yihe and take over the Wharf.
Bao Yugang, chairman of the board of directors of Global Shipping, is also concerned about the changes in Wharf in the past half month, but he has been watching from the sidelines and has no intention of intervening.
As time progressed, the chartering king had anticipated that a severe winter for shipping might be coming, and he also had the idea of abandoning the sea and logging in.
In a place like Xiangjiang, only real estate and finance have the best prospects on land, so the chartering king turned his attention to the real estate industry.
He has no plan to establish a real estate company by himself, as that would be too slow. He has huge funds, and acquisition is his first choice. Among them, Wharf, Wheelock and other heroic consortium companies have become his targets.
Now that the Wharf stock market price is still falling, he is considering when to enter the market.
