Reborn Xiangjiang as a Tycoon

Chapter 56 Wharf (2)

The next morning, Lin Baicheng went to Standard Chartered Bank to visit Huo Yaohua.

Regarding Lin Baicheng's visit, Huo Yaohua put down his work and hosted it personally.

A while ago, many foreign companies transferred more than 60 million US dollars to Galaxy Games' accounts. Huo Yaohua didn't know how much money Lin Baicheng made, but he thought that 20% of the profits should still be there. In other words, these alone

Through remittances, Lin Baicheng's net worth has increased by tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

One thing Huo Yaohua knows very well is that the arcade machines sold by Galaxy Games are very profitable. Lin Baicheng, the boss, making money is not just a fluke. His career seems to be very stable at present, and he is making a lot of money. It is impossible to say that he will be among the wealthy families in Hong Kong in the future.

a place.

"Lin Sheng!" "Huo Daban!"

In Huo Yaohua's office, the two exchanged a few polite words before Lin Baicheng got down to business.

Lin Baicheng said: "Huo Daban, I would like to ask, what is your opinion of Standard Chartered Bank on the acquisition of British-owned enterprises by Chinese capital?"

If he wanted to acquire Wharf, Lin Baicheng simply didn't have enough money, so he needed a loan from a bank. But Xiangjiang was no different than other places, especially in this era when the handover was getting closer, he needed to know the attitude of Standard Chartered Bank.

"Lin Sheng, but you want to acquire a certain company?"

After hearing this, Huo Yaohua's heart moved, and he guessed that Lin Baicheng himself wanted to acquire a certain British-funded company, otherwise he would not have asked this suddenly.

Lin Baicheng nodded and did not deny it.

Upon seeing this, Huo Yaohua pondered, and after a moment he said: "Lin Sheng, Standard Chartered Bank is headquartered in London, and it mainly focuses on the international market, so Xiangjiang is not paid much attention to, otherwise Standard Chartered's business in Xiangjiang will not be

It’s so much worse than HSBC.” In fact, he didn’t say a word. If Standard Chartered hadn’t focused on the international market, even a British Chinese would not be able to sit in the position of Taipan.

Like Shen Chow of HSBC, even though he has a Chinese name, it is just like many Chinese people who study abroad who have English names. They are just for calling him. He is essentially a white British man.

"Although most of the British-funded consortium's industries in Xiangjiang are in Xiangjiang, they also have industries in Western countries such as the United Kingdom, and these companies cooperate with Standard Chartered, so Standard Chartered Bank is more likely to side with British capital.

"

"Speaking of which, Lin Sheng, you should have noticed that there are some things that I, the senior class, cannot make the decision at all and have to listen to the board of directors."

"I am very optimistic about you, Lin Sheng. I want to get closer to you, Lin Sheng. But if Lin Sheng, you acquire a British company, and the capital behind this company finds Standard Chartered Bank, Standard Chartered Bank will side with you."

It's more likely, and there's nothing I can do to stop it."

"No matter what, I still want to thank you, Huo Sheng."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed after hearing this, but he could still see Huo Yaohua's goodwill, and he was willing to make Huo Yaohua a friend and expand his network of contacts.

"Lin Sheng, you are too polite."

Huo Yaohua smiled and asked: "Lin Sheng, are you here to seek financial help this time, or do you want Standard Chartered to help you acquire shares of a certain company?"

"Actually, there are both, but now it seems that I have to find another way."

Lin Baicheng was not worried, because he could still find a way to find a foreign bank. If that didn't work, he would just buy Wharf and directly speculate the stock price to make a quick profit. No matter what, Lin Baicheng had no losses.

Since Lin Baicheng had no losses no matter what he did, why should Lin Baicheng be nervous? The reason why he sought bank funds was just to win the Wharf and make more money for himself.

"As for the loan, if the amount is not large, I can still make the decision."

Huo Yaohua said something, and then said: "As for helping with the acquisition, as long as it is not a listed company, it should be fine."

"If there is any need later, I will trouble Huo Sheng again."

Since Standard Chartered Bank can't get much loan support, there is no need for Lin Baicheng to ask how much he can borrow for the time being. Anyway, it can't be too much, and it will definitely not be enough for him to acquire Wharf.

Lin Baicheng did not stay at Standard Chartered Bank for long and left soon after.

When Lin Baicheng went to raise funds, the stock market would not close because he had insufficient funds, so it would be the same.

According to Lin Baicheng's instructions, Anyuan arranged for people to continue to acquire Wharf's shares. There was no need to worry about the third party secretly acquiring the shares, and there was no need to deliberately hide himself, as long as the stock price was not significantly increased.

Yum! Securities acquired a lot of Wharf shares on this day. The price was that the existence of Yum! Securities could not be hidden from the third party who secretly acquired it. The other party also knew that someone was acquiring Wharf stocks, but it was not possible to know who was acquiring it for the time being.

That’s all.

At the same time, due to the simultaneous acquisition by both parties, Wharf's trading volume on that day was significantly larger than before. It was obvious at a glance that funds were entering the market, which attracted the attention of many people.

However, it depends on each individual’s judgment whether funds are entering the market to buy the bottom and the stock price is about to rise; or whether the trapped funds want to escape and suddenly raise the stock price and find someone to take over.

Cangjiang Industrial.

Just as Lin Baicheng thought, the third party who suddenly appeared to acquire Wharf stocks was Li Jiacheng. He had actually been eyeing British-funded companies for a long time, because many profitable companies were in the hands of British companies.

Li Ka-shing was originally eyeing the Land Company because he was optimistic about the real estate development in Xiangjiang. However, a few days ago he discovered that Wharf was actually seriously undervalued. The land vacated after the relocation of its freight business could be used to develop commercial buildings.

Moreover, these lands are still located in Tsim Sha Tsui, the city center, and land prices are high. Wharf's current market value is seriously underestimated. Only a threefold increase would be its reasonable valuation.

Therefore, Li Jiaqi set up a horse transfer target and asked people to investigate Wharf. It was found that Wharf and Land, which have always been called the two wings of Jardine Matheson, are not equal in terms of holding structure. Jardine controls Land, and Land controls Wharf.

, Land actually owns less than 20% of the equity of Wharf.

Except for Land, no other shareholder holds more than 5% of the shares, and the vast majority of Wharf's shares are in the hands of retail investors.

As long as Li Jiacheng has enough funds, he can unknowingly acquire more shares than Land owns and become the largest shareholder, or even directly acquire the company.

After discovering this, Li Jiacheng was so excited that he immediately asked people to secretly and carefully buy Wharf's shares. However, he never expected that he just started buying Wharf's shares yesterday, and today he found out that the person who bought the stock was

It turned out that he was not the only one, but there was also a third party.
