In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

In fact, Hong Kong Telephone Company is already a very outstanding and high-quality listed company, but investors are often keen on comparison.

Compared with those real estate companies, the performance of Hong Kong Telephone Company is indeed relatively ordinary. This is also one of the reasons why the stock price of Hong Kong Telephone Company has risen in the past two years, but the growth rate is not rapid.

"Who knows? We don't even know who the other party is. They are too secretive and we don't know their background at all. How can we guess? Maybe the other party has some long-term plans." The old stock investor shook his head again, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"But now the stock price has been falling, what should we do? We can't keep wasting money like this, right? If I had known earlier, I would have used this money to buy shares of Cheung Kong Group. This stock rose by 8% yesterday." The middle-aged stockholder asked anxiously again.

"I think we can wait and see what the other party will do next. If they are really interested in acquiring the company, the stock price will go back up sooner or later," suggested the young investor.

"But what if they don't acquire the company? Won't we lose a lot of money then?" the female shareholder said worriedly.

"This... no one can say for sure. The stock market is risky and one needs to be cautious when investing." The old stock investor sighed and said helplessly.

At this time, the entire stock market was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

Investors were discussing countermeasures in low voices, but none of them had a clear answer.

They are all waiting for the next move of the person behind the scenes, hoping to find a glimmer of hope.

However, the other party seemed to have disappeared, without any movement.

Ma Shimin, who is in charge of the Kangle Building, is well aware of the situation in the stock market and even the general discussions of investors.

Because there are many informants from the Jardine Matheson Group in the stock market.

Today's trading will be carried out by traders from the Hong Kong team of Huanyu Investment Company, and will be presided over by Dai Shi, the deputy general manager of Huanyu Investment Company.

At first, Ma Shimin, like other shareholders, felt that after the Hong Kong Land Development Group's thunder-like acquisition of Hong Kong Telephone Company's shares, the share price of Hong Kong Telephone Company would definitely rise sharply.

Because in the past, Jardine Matheson was also good at this kind of action, but the reputation of Jardine Matheson and even the Hong Kong Land Group was too loud. Generally speaking, after the thundering blow, they would announce their actions quickly, so the stock price would often continue to rise sharply.

However, the surge in stock prices has little to do with Jardine Matheson, as their goals are generally achieved.

Jardine Matheson's thundering blow was carried out with great financial strength and at a greater cost.

But the situation controlled by Huanyu Investment Company today is completely different.

Although the price also increased, it was not much, only increasing directly from more than 26 yuan to 30 Hong Kong dollars per share.

This will easily make investors increasingly suspicious as to whether the person behind the scenes is aiming to acquire the Hong Kong Telephone Company.

"Mr. Dai, your trading methods really opened my eyes. It seems that the stock market is being played in the palm of your hands, and the psychology of investors is also controlled by you!" Ma Shimin said with emotion.

"Mr. Ma, Huanyu Investment Company has been making frequent moves in the acquisition field in the past two years, so we have naturally accumulated a lot of experience. This strategy is not a great idea for us, and most people who know the business can guess it pretty close.

As the saying goes, people learn things in order and specialize in different fields. You have profound knowledge in corporate management, so it is understandable that you are not familiar with the stock market! " Dai Shi responded with a smile.

Being able to guess is one thing, but whether they dare to act is another.

Because they are not sure whether the manipulators behind the scenes intend to "rip off" the bankers.

If there really is a market maker involved and the other party chooses to sell, then wouldn't the market maker have to lose all the stocks he bought at a high price?
For this reason, faced with this situation, the bookmakers with huge amounts of capital would never dare to rashly wade into this muddy water.

"Mr. Dai, what are you going to do next? How long do you think it will take us to achieve a 34.9% shareholding ratio while controlling the cost of holding shares?" Ma Shimin asked curiously.

"One day is enough, we can complete this task today!" Dai Shi laughed.

"One day? How is that possible?" Ma Shimin said with some disbelief.

Because Ma Shimin had discussed with Dai Shi before and asked Dai Shi to lead the team to buy shares of Hong Kong Telephone Company at a relatively low price, and the final average cost should not exceed HK$28 per share.

The average price of the more than 28 million shares in the morning was around HK$.

Today, the stock price is still close to HK$30 per share. Ma Shimin really cannot imagine how he can complete this task at an average price of no more than HK$28 today.

Dai Shi's smile became even brighter when he heard Ma Shimin's surprised tone on the phone.

"Mr. Ma, don't forget that our Huanyu Investment Company is best at capital operation and market manipulation. Although the trading this morning did increase our costs a lot, this is only part of our plan." He paused and continued, "Next, we will take advantage of the volatility of the stock market and the psychological expectations of stockholders, and use a series of complex trading techniques, such as dispersed buying, concentrated selling to create selling pressure, and then buying back at a low level, to lower the stock price, while gradually increasing our shareholding ratio.

This way, we can acquire more stocks at a lower cost without causing the market to overreact, and allow hesitant investors to sell in panic, thereby further reducing our costs. "

Ma Shimin's eyes gradually brightened as he listened to Dai Shi's explanation.

"I see. President Dai is really good at coming up with some brilliant ideas. I admire you! In this case, we may be able to achieve our goal of holding 34.9% of the shares today, and the cost we absorb today can be controlled below HK$28 per share?"

"That's right." Dai Shi nodded confidently, "Of course, this still requires close cooperation from our team and timely cooperation from the market, but as long as we operate properly, this goal is by no means out of reach.

Moreover, judging from the current reaction of the stockholders, they have already become flustered after just over an hour, which undoubtedly makes our task easier. Mr. Ma, please wait and see, we will be able to see the results this afternoon!"

"Okay, I'll wait for the good news from President Dai. Once the task is successfully completed, I will definitely try my best to get due credit for you in front of the boss!" Ma Shimin said with a hearty smile.

As time goes by, the tension in the stock market grows.

Those stockholders who placed orders at high prices are becoming increasingly uneasy, fearing that no one will be interested in their stocks and that they will eventually be sold at prices lower than expected.

Some investors who were originally on the sidelines, or those who insisted on their own ideas, are now wavering.

After all, so many people want to sell, and if he doesn't sell, they will be the ones who suffer in the end.

The stock investors were simply unable to unite, and at this time, the domino effect appeared.

When an event or action triggers a series of similar chain reactions, just like dominoes, when one domino falls, it touches and knocks over the dominoes next to it, triggering a chain reaction.

The same goes for stock investors. Some of them originally believed that the person behind the Hong Kong Telephone Company must have other purposes, so they wanted to wait.

But as some timid investors began to sell, the selling trend spread rapidly like wildfire.

Every act of selling is like a domino falling, prompting more investors to join the selling.

"Look, someone is selling again!"

"Why is the stock price still falling? If it continues like this, I will lose a lot of money!"

"No, I have to sell it quickly. I can't wait any longer!"

Investors' panic spread rapidly in the stock market, and they placed orders to sell at low prices, hoping to minimize their losses before the stock price fell further.

However, this collective selling behavior has exacerbated the downward trend of stock prices.

HK$29 per share.

HK$28.5 per share.

HK$27 per share.

……

By the time the market closed at noon, the stock price had fallen to less than HK$27 per share.

However, Huanyu Investment Company remained as steady as a rock, without any panic. They knew that this was part of their plan, and the drop in stock prices would only allow them to acquire more stocks at a lower cost.

At noon, sunlight shone through the window of the general manager's office of Huanyu Investment Company onto the table. The phone on the desk rang at the right time. It was a call from Ma Shimin.

"Mr. Dai, looking at the current trend, the share price of Hong Kong Telephone Company may continue to fall this afternoon. It seems that more and more people are selling. Should we consider waiting and watching? Perhaps the share price can fall to HK$20 per share." Ma Shimin asked in a tentative tone on the other end of the phone.

Dai Shi smiled and said, “Mr. Ma, your idea is indeed tempting, and it seems that we can acquire the existing equity at a lower price, but the timing does not wait for anyone.

If we delay taking action, those market makers with a keen sense of smell may take advantage of the situation. They may hesitate at the high level of more than HK$30, but once the stock price drops to HK$20, they will definitely be ready to move and will never let go of this opportunity to buy at the bottom.

Therefore, we decided to start secretly buying in the afternoon, but the stock price should not be too low. It is best to keep it at a relatively stable level.

Considering the current value and potential of Hong Kong Telephone Company, I believe the share price should not be lower than HK$25 per share. This will not only ensure that our interests are maximized, but also prevent the banker from taking advantage of the situation. " (End of this chapter)
