Chapter 957 - Ascending to the throne of the king of British media (first more votes)
Because the market has been closed, the working atmosphere of Jiuding Securities Company is not particularly urgent, when Xia Yu returned to the company, Wang Qi was drinking tea and reading the report, so comfortable.
When he saw Xia Yu coming back, Wang Qi immediately put down the teacup and report, and got up to say hello:
"Chairman, you're back. ”
Xia Yu smiled and quipped: "Well, Wang Qi, looking at your state, today's results should be good, right?"
Wang Qi showed a modest smile and said, "Although the results are not particularly large, they have also completed the plan made this morning. ”
Xia Yu sat on the sofa, stretched his shoulders and said, "Let's talk about it." ”
After speaking, he picked up the grapes in the fruit bowl on the coffee table, peeled one and threw it into his mouth, the sweet and sour refreshing feeling with the fragrance of grapes burst his taste buds.
Wang Qi directly described today's results: "Today, 7.51 million shares were bought from the secondary market in one day, accounting for 8.16% of the total share capital of Kowloon Motor Corporation, and the cumulative cost was 22.83 million Hong Kong dollars. ”
Xia Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered: "Eight .16 percent, um......"
Before the start of the morning, Wang Qi reported to him that Jiuding Securities Company had acquired a total of 34.08 percent of the shares.
With the addition of the acquisition in the secondary market, Jiuding Securities now owns 42.24% of the equity.
Counting the 9.75% of the money he bought from Deng Zhaojian in his bag.
The final sum is - 52.98 percent!
The de facto holding of Kowloon Motor Bus has been completed!
This morning, Wang Qi also said that he planned to complete 50 percent of the holding within two days, and now it will be completed in one day.
Xia Yu couldn't help but smile.
Wang Qi, who had been watching Xia Yu, saw the smile on the chairman's face, and had a more certain guess in his heart, he asked: "Chairman, is Deng Zhaojian's equity also in hand?"
Xia Yu glanced at him, nodded with a smile and said, "I've already bought it, it's in the bag!"
Saying that, Xia Yu opened the briefcase, threw the equity contract and certificate to Wang Qi, and said: "You put these things up, and you need to use them when the equity is transferred to Jiuding Transportation Group." ”
Wang Qi immediately caught it, opened the transaction contract and the equity certificate, glanced at it, and took it with a smile: "Okay, I'll put it in the safe now." ”
Saying that, Wang Qi immediately got up, came to the closet behind the desk, opened it to reveal a safe embedded in the wall, opened the safe after some operation, put the file in and locked it again, and returned to Xia Yu to sit down.
"Chairman, so we now hold more than 50% of the shares, so do you directly find Lei Juekun to initiate an equity acquisition?"
Xia Yu thought for a while and asked: "Today, the trading volume of Kowloon Bus has skyrocketed, someone should start to enter the market, right?"
Wang Qi restrained his smile and nodded: "Yes, I have already asked people to inquire, and for the time being, I am not sure if Lei Juekun is behind the scenes." ”
Xia Yu continued: "It doesn't matter, I will buy one more day tomorrow, and now we are still about 15 percent away from the 67 percent line, and I will work harder!"
"The day after tomorrow, you go to Yo Lei Juekun again, there should be an equity in Kowloon Construction in the company, go and replace it with him, if he is willing to transfer the equity, it is best, if he is not willing, it doesn't matter, anyway, I don't plan to buy Kowloon Bus wholly owned by him, there is no need to make the relationship so stiff, but he also gave me face a few times." ”
"By the way, if he asks to see me, you can promise him, and if he doesn't mention it, that's the best. ”
Wang Qi nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Then, there was a moment of silence in the office.
Xia Yu took a sip of tea, thought about China Automobile again, and asked Wang Qi: "How is the stock acquisition place of China Motor?"
Wang Qi also kept this data in mind, and he directly stated: "Chairman, today day, we have acquired 7.68% of the equity from the secondary market, and the acquisition is not too large. ”
"And according to your instructions, we have not contacted those institutions for the time being, but the initial acquisition plan has been formulated and we are ready to launch a large-scale acquisition. ”
Xia Yu thought about it, considering that the progress of the Kowloon Bus is now smoother and faster than expected, then the plan has to be adjusted somewhat.
He instructed Wang Qi: "In this way, you can also speed up the progress of the acquisition of China Motor, and now you can go directly to the Yan family and the Huang family, and carry it out at the same time, find out their weaknesses, and strive for a success." ”
Wang Qi smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”
After thinking about it carefully, he found that there was nothing to do, Xia Yu looked at his watch, and found that it was not too early, he got up and said: "Let's go, it's not early, you can also get off work, go back to accompany your family early." ”
"Chairman, I'll clean up again, and I'll go back later. ”
"Well, then I'll go first!"
After speaking, Xia Yu got up and walked outside.
......
In the next few days, Xia Yu's main focus was on the side of Jiuding Building.
However, Wang Qi would call Xia Yu every day after the market was closed to report the progress.
Overall, it was quite smooth, and Lei Juekun, who was originally a little worried, actively resisted did not happen.
Perhaps because he knew that his arms couldn't twist his thighs and he couldn't return to the sky, Lei Juekun chose to sell his 20.38% stake directly to Jiuding Securities Company after talking to Xia Yu on the phone, but the asking price was higher.
Considering that Lei Juekun was very knowledgeable and vaguely heard Lei Juekun's complaints, Xia Yu did not squeeze Lei Juekun too much.
At the suggestion of Xia Yu, the result of the negotiations was that Kowloon Motor Bus was based on HK$330 million, and Lui Juekun exchanged 20.38% of the equity held by Lui Juekun for HK$67.2 million, replacing part of the equity of Kowloon Development, plus HK$31 million in cash.
After the compromise of the largest shareholder Lei Juekun, there will be no resistance in the secondary market.
In order to maximize profits, Wang Qi did not update the equity information as soon as possible, but allowed the share price of Kowloon Bus to continue to fall, and then absorbed shares at a low price.
It was not until the stock market closed on Friday afternoon that Jiuding Transport Group announced that it would become the largest shareholder of Kowloon Motor Bus with a 45% stake in Kowloon Motor Bus, and that Liu Sanquan, general manager of Jiuding Transport Group, would take over the company under the leadership of Tang Siu-kin, chairman of the board of directors of Kowloon Motor Bus.
As soon as the news was announced, it immediately attracted heated discussions, and reporters from all walks of life flocked to the Kowloon Bus headquarters.
After answering some questions, he seized the opportunity to announce that he would increase investment in Kowloon Motor Bus, purchase 500 new buses, and strengthen management and professional ethics and skills training for drivers.
In fact, in addition to the 45 percent equity held by Jiuding Transportation Group, there is also the remaining 36.55 percent equity.
According to the regulations of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the compulsory acquisition regulations will be triggered if the acquisition exceeds 35 percent, and Jiuding Transportation Group will have to apply to the exchange for exemption in the future.
As for the remaining equity, part of it was placed under Jiuding Securities Company, and part of it was transferred to Jiuding Bank.
On the new board of directors of Kowloon Bus, only the Wu family stayed, and Xia Yu didn't bother to move him, anyway, as far as the Wu family held the shares, he didn't have any right to speak at all, he was a puppet director.
The Wu family can stand it, and if they can't stand it, they will leave as they cash out, Xia Yu doesn't care.
The Kowloon Motor Company was done, and the Chunghwa Motor Company Limited made decisive progress.
The Yan family and the Huang family, who had no intention of running China Automobile Co., Ltd., raised the white flag very decisively in the face of Jiuding Securities' radish stick.
A total of 46.86 percent of the shares of the two companies were directly transferred to Jiuding Securities.
After the acquisition was completed, Wang Qi immediately disposed of the equity in accordance with Xia Yu's instructions.
Thirty-four percent of the shares were transferred to Xia Yu's newly established Heung Kong Tourism Investment Group.
The remaining 33.13 percent of the equity is also dispersed.
In fact, Xia Yu actually controls 68.12% of the equity of China Motor, more than two-thirds, and the board of directors is decided by Xiangjiang Tourism Investment Group.
Xia Yu does not plan to acquire the remaining more than 30% of the shares.
Anyway, with the current situation of China Motor Co., Ltd., there are too many old buses, and it is definitely necessary to carry out large-scale replacement of buses, and new routes need to be opened, which requires a lot of money.
As a listed company, Xia Yu's money is not suitable for casual play, and the only way is to raise funds by issuing new shares without borrowing from the bank, and the shareholding ratio of Xia Yu's side will continue to rise.
On Sunday, Xia Yu took Li Qian and He Chaoqiong out on a sea trip, and when he came back, he learned that Yan Wenhan, who had returned from England, was looking for him.
Thinking that the acquisition of Times Newspaper Holdings should have a result, Xia Yu directly asked Yan Wenhan to come to his home.
After listening to Yan Wenhan's story, Xia Yu also knew about the twists and turns encountered in the acquisition.
Although Rupert Murdoch is very difficult and has many tricks, Yan Wenhan made full use of his own advantages, especially Chairman Xia Yu's connections in the UK, to win the final victory.
The purchase of Times Press Holdings Limited for 13 million pounds did not hinder the British government.
Rupert Murdoch came to a gloomy end.
Jiuding Newspaper Company has become one of the giants of the British media industry.
In this way, in the British media industry, Xia Yu has the three pillars of the Mirror Group, the Financial Times Group and the Times Press Holdings Limited, and firmly sits on the throne of the king of British media.
However, these three companies have been hidden by circling around their shares, and Xia Yu does not want to be guided by the enemy and use public opinion to force the British government to impose anti-monopoly sanctions on him.
Between fame and real power, he chooses the latter......
