This week, Li Jianhui was in a very happy mood. From the time Charter King entered the market on Monday, to the close of trading on Friday afternoon, the price per share of Wharf rose from 18.2 to the current 35 Hong Kong dollars, an increase of nearly 100%.
Neither Yihe nor the chartering kings have any intention of giving in, and they seem to be ready to fight to the end.
The shares held by the two companies are also rising. Currently, the shares held by Jardine Land have reached 43.6%, and the shares held by Chartering King have also reached 43.5%. The two companies are extremely close.
At present, some systems of the major exchanges in Hong Kong are not very perfect, and it seems that the Hong Kong Exchange has no intention of stopping the two from continuing like this.
As a result, the current situation is quite strange. The two companies jointly occupy 87.1% of Wharf's shares, and only 12.9% is left outside. There are almost no Wharf shares circulating in the stock market. Even if a few Wharf stocks pop up from time to time, they will be acquired by these two companies.
.
A situation like Wharf's is extremely rare among the major exchanges in Hong Kong. It has never happened before. Even the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has begun to pay attention.
Now it depends on which company gets 49.9% of the shares first, so that it can gain control of Wharf this time.
In Xiangjiang, there is a code of acquisition cooperation. Once the shares reach or exceed 50%, the remaining shares need to be compulsorily acquired at the highest price in the past six months.
And based on the current relationship between the two companies, neither Charter King nor Yihe are absolutely willing to send money to each other.
So this time they will only acquire 49.9% of the shares and will not touch the red line of compulsory acquisition.
In the current situation, Li Jianhui naturally cannot wait any longer. Otherwise, if these two companies acquire more, he may not be able to sell all his shares.
Over the weekend, the news that Xinjian Investment Company held more than four million shares of Wharf spread to the market through Dao Heng Bank. In an instant, this investment company, which had always attracted attention, spread throughout Hong Kong.
During the stalemate between Charter King and Jardine, nearly four million shares will determine the outcome of the two companies. Whoever gets the shares in the hands of this investment company will basically be able to get Wharf.
Regardless of whether it was Jardine Matheson or Charter King, the first time they received the news was to order their personnel to investigate the situation of Xinjian Investment Company, and contact the senior management of Daoheng Bank, hoping that Daoheng Bank could act as an intermediary to help them connect.
In addition, in the general manager's office of Changshi, Li Chaoren also asked his subordinates to investigate Xinjian Investment Company. He was 90% sure that this was the Cheng Yaojin who had escaped halfway.
Regardless of the Jardine Group or Charter King and Li Chaoren, the energy in their hands is extremely huge.
In less than half a day, the legal representative of Xinjian Investment Company, the company's senior management, and the company's address had already been investigated.
When they saw Li Jianhui, the general manager of Xinjian Investment Company, and Li Chunxue, the registered legal person, no matter Newbigian, the chartering king, or even Li Chaoren were quite surprised.
If they hadn't seen that the registered legal representative was Li Chunxue and the company address was next to Huihong Games Company, they would have thought that Li Jianhui was just a person with the same name.
Who would have thought that this young man who would rather invest huge sums of money in the stock market than buy a luxury home, and who still lives with his mother and sister in a community house of only 800 square feet, would decide between Jardine and Charter King.
The one who wins or loses.
Charter King and Newbigian didn't know when Li Jianhui would enter the market, but Li Chaoren knew very well that the guy who ruined his plan would reap huge profits this time.
According to his estimate, the average purchase price of Li Jianhui's nearly four million shares would not exceed 16 Hong Kong dollars, and even if they were sold at the current price, it would be enough for him to earn more than 50 million.
And regardless of Jardine Matheson or Charter King, in order to win the Wharf, they will definitely give Li Jianhui a higher price. Not to mention the current 35 Hong Kong dollars, even 50 Hong Kong dollars per share, these two companies will be willing to pay.
Just when Yihe and the charter king contacted Li Jianhui, the man who stirred up the storm was accompanying Chen Xinyi in Mong Kok to watch Golden Harvest's latest movie.
As a result, Nubigian and Bao Yugang could only wait anxiously. At this time, neither of them could guarantee that Li Jianhui would sell the shares to them.
The charter king even regretted why he didn’t invite this young man to the dinner, otherwise the Wharf would be his own now.
As the future successor trained by the Charter King, Wu Guangzhen felt an unknown fire in his heart at this time. He felt that Li Jianhui was clearly staged to make things difficult for them.
He believed that the news from Daoheng Bank was definitely authorized by Li Jianhui. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the news came out just when the Bao family and Yihe were about to decide the outcome.
As a result, no one was seen at this time. This was obviously not to give the Bao family face, and there was no bias at all because of the different identities of the Bao family and Yihe. It seemed that the Bao family was ready to sell at a price, and even prepared to open its mouth.
Wu Guangzhen said with some complaints: "Dad, Li Jianhui went too far. He didn't even mention selling his shares to us, but he actually disappeared without giving us any face."
Bao Yugang was also a little unhappy in his heart. He thought that as the helmsman of a world shipping giant, a guest of world leaders, and a knight in Buckingham Palace, how could he not be treated lightly?
As a result, in this place of Xiangjiang, the place of his foundation, a young man seemed not to take him seriously.
It's just that as a businessman, he understands very well that now he is asking for something from others. Don't say that the other party is just delaying the time and preparing to raise the price. Even if the other party is asking for a high price, he still needs to be polite.
This young man is different from many current families in Xiangjiang. His origin and the forces behind him are destined to belong to a different category.
And currently, this young man has no intention of drawing a clear line with that side, let alone getting closer to the north. Different stances make it impossible for the two sides to become allies. If the other side doesn't give him face, he doesn't have much to do about it.
Bao Yugang said: "Don't mention these words anymore. The other party doesn't owe us any favors and doesn't rely on us for food. Why should we invite others to give us face?"
Now that you have entered the business world, let's talk about business. With such a good opportunity, it is understandable that the other party wants to make a lot of money.
You go and prepare. We will go directly to Hung Hom and wait for Li Jianhui's return right outside his door. We must capture the Wharf."
Wu Guangzhen didn't have the courage to talk back to the charter king at this time. Even if he felt unhappy, he could only follow the charter king's arrangement.
At this time, Li Jianhui, who was happily watching a movie with Chen Xinyi, had no idea that he had created a very bad impression on the charter king and Wu Guangzhen.
It was probably impossible for him to sell the favor at the beginning, and he would not lose a lot of his own interests just for the sake of the favor. At that time, he would only sell it to the charter king at a price similar to the one offered by the charter king.
If the other party really thinks that he will sell it to him at a low price because he belongs to the same Xiangjiang Chinese-owned family, then he can only be embarrassed. He is not the one who has been taken advantage of.
And to put it bluntly, once the four major foreign companies fall, both the chartering king and Li Chaoren will become his competitors. Although it has dealt a blow to Yihe, it is also staking the enemy.
Xiangjiang is too small to accommodate too many financial groups. Since he wants to use Xiangjiang as his foundation, he will inevitably squeeze the development space of other families. There are not many favors in the business world, and only interests are permanent.
