Chapter 168: Negotiation 4

Shen Bi and Bao Zixuan were both in deep thought at this time, Shen Bi didn't know how much Bao Zixuan knew. Bao Zixuan wanted to let Shen Bi bid first, so that the initiative would be in his hands. Anyway, it's not him who is anxious now, and HSBC's external expansion can't be delayed, let alone delayed.

If this matter is not perfectly resolved, HSBC will not be able to develop in the European and American markets if it does not give up.

In the end, Shen Bi was more anxious, although he didn't know how much Bao Zixuan knew. However, no matter how HSBC sells, it makes money, so it is better to be a favor, so at least the sincerity is enough.

Shen Bi: "Although Senior Brother Bao is not in Xiangjiang, he is really clear about the affairs of Xiangjiang. Then we don't have to bargain, 7 Hong Kong dollars per share. Students can choose to take out a loan with HSBC by paying a 20% deposit upfront. The remaining 80% can be paid with an HSBC loan. ”

Bao Zixuan knew that Shen Bi was really sincere this time, and this price was 0.1 Hong Kong dollars cheaper than the price Li Chaoren bought in his previous life. All other things are equal, the most important thing is that HSBC did not retain a single stake this time. In the future, it will be difficult to restrict Hutchison Whampoa, although there are loans, but with the strength of the Black Cloud Group, the loans are not worth mentioning at all.

Bao Zixuan stretched out his hand and said, "Then the faster we cooperate, thank you, senior." We'll go to HSBC and we'll have a press conference there. ”

Shen Bi also stretched out his hand and shook it with Bao Zixuan and said, "Then do what Senior Brother Bao said." But you don't have to go back to HSBC, we can arrange for a lawyer to do it here, and we will hold a press conference here when the transaction is completed. ”

In fact, Bao Zixuan has a bit of a villain's heart to win the belly of a gentleman, as long as a big guy like Shen Bi agrees, then he will not change, and the commercial credit of a tycoon at this level is very important.

Seeing the moment Shen Bi and Bao Zixuan shook hands, the group in the restaurant who was concerned about the negotiation between the two knew that the two bigwigs must have reached an agreement. It is estimated that there will be a good show to watch in a while, and this time there will definitely be news that shocks the entire Xiangjiang.

Bao Zixuan: "Okay, I'll arrange for a lawyer to come over immediately." I had an idea that we were going to give Sing Tao Daily a little color. Otherwise, if we are really bullied, we will use the Sing Tao Daily to sacrifice the flag. ”

Shen Bi: "What good ideas does the junior brother have, I also saw that Hu Xian's woman was unhappy for a long time, and HSBC will definitely support it this time." However, Hu Xian did not have a loan at HSBC, otherwise I would have made a move a long time ago. ”

Bao Zixuan: "Sing Tao Daily has no loans from HSBC, and it has no business dealings with Heiyun. Seeing that we can't do anything about him, but the newspaper wants subscriptions, advertisements, and housing for their employees!"

"We ask all the companies we work with not to subscribe to Sing Tao Daily, not to place any advertisements on Sing Tao Daily, and not to take out loans for HSBC to buy houses for Sing Tao Daily employees. We're just so unreasonable this time, let's see how everyone reacts. Otherwise, no one really takes us seriously. ”

Shen Bi listened to the words of this young man and found that it was really terrible for this kid to be ruthless. However, these are all paid by HSBC, and there are not many cooperative enterprises of Heiyun Group in Xiangjiang. This kid is using HSBC as a gunman, but this is also a way, knowing that it is a pit and jumping into it.

Shen Bi: "But Senior Brother Bao, if you really do this." I am afraid that the Hong Kong government will convict us of interfering with press freedom. This is a bit of a hassle, and we have to think about it. ”

Bao Zixuan: "If the Hong Kong government says that we interfere with press freedom, Hu Xian will first have to fight a lawsuit against us." The worst result is to fine the two of us a sum of money, but so what! Our two enterprises are the largest in Xiangjiang, are they short of money! If we don't attack with thunderous means this time, I believe that many clowns will come out and make people think that HSBC and Heiyun are not as powerful as they imagined. Everyone came to step on us, and it was even more troublesome at that time. ”

Shen Bi thought for a while and said, "I'll accompany my junior brothers to play with them and let them know the consequences of offending HSBC." ”

Bao Zixuan: "In a moment, we will inform all the reporters to come to The Peninsula and ask Michael Kadoorie to prepare the banquet hall as the main venue for the press conference. ”

Once everything was settled, lawyers from both sides arrived at the Peninsula Hotel. After receiving the notice, He Mingcheng put down all his work and rushed over as soon as possible, and now Heiyun is his largest customer, and has won a lot of big orders through Heiyun. At present, his firm has more than 30 employees, and it is the No. 1 law firm in Xiangjiang.

Bao Zixuan explained what happened to He Mingcheng, and after hearing that Shen Bi actually sold all the shares of Hutchison Whampoa held by HSBC to Bao Zixuan. He Mingcheng's expression was very exciting, and he could put down an egg with his mouth open.

This is a family in Whampoa, one of the four major foreign companies in Hong Kong. The company, which has been established for more than 100 years, was sold to Bao Zixuan. It seems that Shen Bi really made a bloody effort to calm down this matter.

Everyone is a professional lawyer, and the contract was quickly drafted according to the requirements of both parties. HSBC came here with a lawyer, and he always wanted to ask Shen Bi why, but he didn't dare to say it after seeing Shen Daban's firm eyes. During this period, Shen Bi existed like a god in Xiangjiang HSBC, and no one dared to question him, even the general manager of Pu Weishi.

The main content of the contract is that Heiyun Group will purchase 136 million shares of Hutchison Whampoa held by HSBC at a price of HK$7 per share. The total price is HK$952 million, with a down payment of 20%, totaling HK$200 million. The remainder is secured by existing shares of HK$752 million at an interest rate of 7% per annum, to be repaid in a lump sum after five years.

When explaining that He Mingcheng came over, Bao Zixuan also arranged for the company's personnel to acquire 0.4% of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa. At present, Heiyun Group has held a 49% stake in Hutchison Whampoa, and the acquisition has been completed. If the acquisition continues, then according to the regulations of the listed company in Hong Kong, Heiyun will trigger the compulsory acquisition clause. Bao Zixuan could only buy all the shares of Hutchison Whampoa and privatize it. With the current cash flow, it is still a bit difficult, and it is not necessary.

The acquisition of 49% of the shares has achieved the purpose of the holding company, and now it can be said that Hutchison Whampoa has the final say in everything. If you dare not do what Bao Zixuan asks, then it is impossible for Wei Li to stay in Hutchison Whampoa anymore. Now Bao Zixuan has achieved complete control over Hutchison Whampoa. In fact, in the future, as long as the listed company in Hong Kong holds 35%, it will be able to fully manage the company, which is also to protect the interests of major shareholders.

The moment Bao Zixuan and Shen Bi signed their names, he knew that he couldn't just develop technology according to his own ideas now. Although there is a bit of a conflict with his business philosophy, when he thinks of the prosperity of Heung Kong Real Estate and the dock industry in the future, no matter how he operates, he will not lose money.

Now they have to enter the real estate industry to get a piece of the pie, and the world is unpredictable. Originally, I just wanted to make some money by speculating in stocks, but I didn't expect to make myself a shareholder. Who would have thought that they would get hurt!

After the contract was signed, Heiyun and HSBC staff met at the Peninsula Hotel to discuss the contents and precautions of the afternoon press conference. During this period, we had another meal here, which can be regarded as deepening the impression of each other. Learn more about it now, and you will be more familiar with it when you work together in the future.

Since Shen Bi gives face like this, many of Bao Zixuan's businesses should also be tilted towards HSBC. In the future, all the capital transactions of Hutchison Whampoa will be handled by HSBC, and Heiyun Group will also tilt towards HSBC in terms of loans.

Although this is the first successful acquisition of a British-funded foreign firm by Chinese Capital, it can be said to be very meaningful in Hong Kong. But who would have thought that Shen Bi and Bao Zixuan talked for less than an hour during the whole process!

This acquisition, which was regarded as a classic by countless business schools in later generations, Bao Zixuan knew that he was just borrowing the vision of Li Chaoren's previous life. This time, he intercepted Hu Li Superman in advance, whether he could cooperate well on the Tin Shui Wai project, and it could also be regarded as compensation. However, Bao Zixuan was also worried that Li Chaoren would not buy it, after all, he would buy the company he had been planning for so long. This section is difficult to unravel, you can only take it one step at a time. Let's prepare for the press conference!
