Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

After Bao Zixuan finished speaking, he was about to leave, since Shen Bi refused. Then there's nothing to talk about. If Heiyun couldn't take down Sing Tao Daily with his own strength, then he would be the richest man in Hong Kong for nothing, so he might as well just do nothing and go home.

Shen Bi didn't expect that Bao Zixuan would just leave without giving any face. When I saw this kid's face, I remembered that he was a young and outrageous corporate leader. We couldn't talk to him according to the excuses in the shopping mall. At this age, when he would just flip the table over if he didn't get along, it seemed like he had to change his strategy.

If Bao Zixuan is really allowed to leave, then HSBC really won’t have to expand overseas. No one will sell you face at all. Bao Zixuan's influence overseas is too great. Just say a few words and wait for customers to rush in!

Shen Bi: "Don't be angry, Junior Bao, I'm just afraid that you won't be able to manage it. I didn't say I won't sell it to you. Is there anything we can discuss?"

Bao Zixuan: "I know the senior has good intentions, but I have my own considerations in this regard, so there is no need for Senior Shen to worry. All you have to do is answer my question whether to sell or not. If I don't manage well, Senior Shen will take care of the rest for me!" "

Bao Zixuan knew that he couldn't just threaten, but also lift Shen Bi up. Shen Bi was also very angry when he heard some threatening words, but now he can only sacrifice Li Chaoren's interests. HSBC's reputation and expansion path are above all else. Although Li Chaoren has been preparing for a long time, he can't take care of so much now.

Hutchison Whampoa is composed of two parts, one is Hutchison Matheson and the other is Whampoa Dockyard. Hutchison \u0026 Co. was founded in the 18th century. It was reorganized and fell into the hands of the Qi Dezun family, one of the four major families in Hong Kong at that time. The history of Huangpu Dockyard can be traced back to 1843. By the beginning of the 20th century, it had reached a considerable scale, with the ability to repair and build giant ships of 10,000 tons. It was already one of the three major dockyards in Hong Kong. In the early 1970s in Hong Kong, Hutchison Matheson, controlled by the Chi Dezun family, controlled Whampoa and 300 other companies through a dazzling series of acquisitions and mergers, and planned to raise funds to develop real estate. However, excessive expansion caused it to be heavily in debt and losing money year by year. 1. In order to enrich capital, Hutchison received a capital injection of HK$150 million from HSBC for one-third of its equity. HSBC in 1 Hutchison Whampoa Limited.

The prelude to Li Chaoren's takeover campaign also kicked off. Although HSBC recruited Wei Li to manage this giant listed company, the group's losses were too large and it would be difficult to turn around in a short period of time. All this was seen by Li Chaoren. At this time, he already had an acquisition plan in his mind. The history of big fish eating small fish was about to be overturned in the hands of Li Chaoren. What is surprising is that Li did not immediately acquire Hutchison Whampoa, but started to acquire Wharf, the largest freight port in Hong Kong at the time. Jardine Matheson, which controlled Wharf, could not sit still at this time and immediately made a counter-acquisition reaction. However, Jardine Matheson's liquid capital may not be able to purchase enough stocks to ensure its absolute controlling position, so HSBC, the largest consortium in Hong Kong, was asked to help. Shen Bi, the chief executive of HSBC, was entrusted with the loyalties and personally advised Li Superman gave up the acquisition, hoping that he could look at the Buddha without looking at the monk, so as to save face. At this time, Li Chaoren secretly met with Hong Kong shipping king Bao Yugang. He knew well that a generation of shipping kings longed for a cargo port, and proposed a deal that killed three birds with one stone. Li Chaoren transferred Wharf stocks to Bao Yugang, and Bao Yugang Yugang gave 10 million shares of Hutchison Whampoa to Li Chaoren and helped Li Chaoren acquire Hutchison Whampoa. Only then did Li Chao reveal his true purpose, and at this time his acquisition was half successful.

Next, Li Chaoren gave up the acquisition of Wharf and gave HSBC face. HSBC would naturally repay the favor. At the same time, shipping king Bao Yugang was also mediating through his deep relationship with HSBC. Li Chaoren was Superman obtained the shares of HSBC Zhongpu for only 7.1 yuan per share, which was half of the market price at the time! Moreover, HSBC also agreed that Li Chaoren only needs to pay a 20% deposit first, which is equivalent to using US$24 million as a deposit to purchase assets worth more than one billion US dollars. In this way, together with the stocks purchased from shipping king Yu Gangang, Li Chaoren held a total of 3 Hutchison Whampoa and achieved the goal of successful holding. Li Chaoren's Cheung Kong Assets only reached Pu, becoming the first Chinese in Hong Kong to control a foreign bank. When the news came out, the whole of Hong Kong was shocked, and various media reported on it. Li Chaoren's career has developed rapidly since then.

Throughout the entire acquisition process, Li Chaoren showed extraordinary shrewdness. Wharf is a family business. If you want to acquire Wharf, you will inevitably encounter strong resistance from the family forces, and the price will be very high. As a public company, Hutchison Whampoa can win it without any blood as long as you take care of the interests of all parties. He left the bones for Bao Yugang to chew and the meat for himself to eat. It can be seen that mergers and reorganizations may destroy a company or make it develop rapidly. The key lies in the level of acquisition and the ability to integrate assets after acquisition.

But now Bao Zixuan cuts off Hu in advance, completely disrupting Shen Bi and Li Chaoren's plan. Xiangjiang was still too young, and he didn't expect that he would ruin Li Chaoren's plan again.

Bao Zixuan had thought about this problem before, if he hadn't been injured this time. So Shen Bi would never sell Hutchison Whampoa to him, but now he can't help it.

Shen Bi thought for a while and said: "Since you want it, junior, these are not problems. I will not embarrass junior in terms of price, and HSBC will even provide junior with a loan."

In fact, in Shen Bi's eyes, HSBC's interests are above all else, and the friendship and commitment are not important now. They can only compensate Li Chaoren and the Charter King later. It's better to be more relaxed when selling, and make good friends with Bao Zixuan, who will definitely not suffer losses in the future. Then satisfy the other party once and for all.

Bao Zixuan: "Then I would like to thank you, senior. I know that HSBC holds 33.4% of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa, totaling 1.3%. Senior, please give me a price! You should know that HSBC's securities department has acquired about 15.2% for me. Hutchison Whampoa shares, so I account for 484% of the entire Hutchison Whampoa Company, which is easily acquired. In fact, both Miyamoto and Yokoi have more than this share."

When Shen Bi heard that Bao Zixuan was so detailed about HSBC's shareholding in Hutchison Whampoa, it seemed that he had already planned it. In fact, Bao Zixuan only knew the information about his past life. He had never thought about it before, and he didn't even dare to think about it. But this time the injury at HSBC gave him this opportunity, so why should he be polite? There is no such store after passing this village.

Shen Bi: "It seems that my junior has been prepared for a long time, so I won't hide it anymore. 10% of the shares held by HSBC are preference shares. Are you interested in this too?"

Bao Zixuan: "Of course, I know that HSBC spent 150 million Hong Kong dollars to obtain these shares and also provided some bank loan facilities. So I hope the senior will give me a reasonable price."

Shen Bi: "According to the current market value of Hutchison Whampoa, HSBC's shares are worth HK$2 billion, or HK$14 per share. In order to show our sincerity, HSBC decided to buy it to my junior at HK$10 per share. How about it!"

Bao Zixuan knew that Superman Li only spent HK$7.1 per share in his previous life, but now he actually wanted to trick him. He smiled and said: "If Hutchison Whampoa sold it to Li Chaoren, would it be the same price?"

Shen Bi was shocked again. Could it be that this guy eavesdropped on the internal meeting of HSBC or there was an insider. How else would it be possible to know so much about this matter, and even know the price at which it is going to be sold to Li Chaoren.

The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible. Shen Bi thought that when he went back, he must find out the traitor. Keeping him by his side was not an option. Could it be that this guy arranged all of this? It's not impossible. Now it seems that we should resolve this matter first, otherwise something might happen!
