Chapter 242: Wharf, I Want It! (2-in-1 Chapter)

"Very good, you guys have achieved good results during this time, I am very satisfied!"

Xia Yu said with a smile, made a conclusion, and looked at Wang Qi and the three of them with appreciative eyes.

Wang Qi and the three of them all smiled, and then they were humble.

"In the next period of time, I will leave Xiangjiang, for as little as more than 20 days, as long as a month or two, so I will arrange some things. ”

Xia Yu's gaze swept over their faces and said slowly.

Wang Qi and the three of them were shocked, and they focused their attention even more, looking at Xia Yu with blazing eyes, waiting for his order.

"Jin Jiajun, Elewen, the funds you each manage are still developing according to your original route. ”

Xia Yu first said to Jin Jiajun and Ai Lewen, and the two nodded in understanding.

And Wang Qi's expression on the side became serious, and from the tone of the boss, he knew that the matter in his hands was about to change.

Sure enough, Xia Yu said it next.

"Wang Qi, your task is very heavy and critical!"

"Next, I will withdraw some of the funds, and the remaining funds, you will continue to buy Wharf's shares for me, buy while suppressing, you must not let the stock price of Wharf be too high, and before I come back, I must buy as many shares as possible under the premise of controlling the stock price!"

Xia Yu looked at Wang Qi with a very serious expression, and a firm gaze shot straight into his eyes showed that he was definitely serious.

Wang Qi nodded solemnly, but his heart was in chaos, he hesitated for a while, and was about to ask.

After all, the boss's decision was too sudden, which was obviously contrary to the positioning of the Wharf investment that the boss had told him before, and if he didn't figure it out now, he was worried that if he didn't grasp the degree of it, it would ruin the boss's business.

"Boss, do you have any thoughts about Wharf?"

Wang Qi said more tactfully, and after finishing speaking, he looked straight at Xia Yu.

Hearing Wang Qi say this, Jin Jiajun and Ai Lewen next to him were shocked, and looked at Xia Yu with their eyes.

In the past few months, Xia Yu has not hidden them, otherwise it is easy to make them have a pimple in their hearts, and the two of them also know that the funds in Wang Qi's hands are invested in Wharf.

It's just that the attitude of the boss now seems to have changed his mind, and it doesn't seem to mean simple investment.

It's just that Wharf's share price is more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and Jiuding Securities Company can't gnaw it down at all!

But it's absolutely impossible for the boss to lose his mind, so it means that he has a certain degree of certainty?!

Does the boss still have a family background that they don't know, so they dare to do this?

Thinking of this, the two of them looked at Xia Yu tightly, wanting to know the boss's true thoughts.

Xia Yu's expression was serious, his eyes swept over the faces of the three people, seeing that the three of them were very concerned, he nodded slowly, and said something that outsiders would definitely be shocked to hear: "Yes, I do want to buy Wharf!"

As soon as these words came out, although Wang Qi and the three of them had already guessed, they still shook their hearts and looked at Xia Yu in shock.

They were indeed shocked by the boss's sudden thoughts.

The acquisition of Wharf is easy to say, but it is too difficult to really do it!

At the beginning of this year, Wharf's share price bottomed out, but despite this, it still has a market value of more than 1.3 billion.

And now, even with Jiuding Securities Company secretly suppressing the stock price and cooperating with the acquisition, the stock price of Wharf has still risen by more than 100 million, reaching a market value of more than 1.4 billion.

The total share capital of Wharf is 98 million shares, and now in the hands of Jiuding Newspaper Company, there are 20.97 million shares, accounting for 21.4%.

Although most of Wharf's shares are scattered in the market, there are 20.97 million less outstanding shares, and with so many fewer shares, Wharf's stock price has become more sensitive, and the difficulty of Jiuding Securities Company to secretly suppress the stock price has also risen sharply.

It's also harder to hide the action!

So the further you go, the faster Wharf's share price will rise, until it reaches a reasonable point before it stagnates again.

"It's just the boss, it's very difficult. ”

After struggling for a while, Wang Qi said euphemistically.

In fact, the difficulty is not very great, but it is very special.

As far as Wharf's current stock price is concerned, even if the stock price does not change, it will take more than 1.4 billion yuan to fully acquire it, and even if it is absolutely controlled, it will require 700 million Hong Kong dollars.

However, the reality is that Wharf's share price may remain the same?

In this way, it costs even more money!

It's a matter of funding!

But sometimes, even if you have enough money, you don't just use it when you want to.

Wang Qi has long understood the background of Wharf, which is a constituent company of the Jardine Matheson consortium, and is also one of the main forces, and is also one of the largest British-funded conglomerates in Hong Kong.

If you know the idea of Jiuding Securities Company to fight Wharf, the Jardine Consortium will never sit idly by, and Jiuding Securities Company will definitely usher in the thunderous blow of the Jardine Consortium, and at that time, with the current strength of Jiuding Securities Company, it will be absolutely unbearable!

Therefore, Wang Qi is not worried.

"It's very difficult, but since I put it forward, I naturally have a certain degree of certainty!"

"I will solve the problem of funding, aside from the problem of funding, how difficult do you think?"

The corners of Xia Yu's mouth hooked up a smile, his eyes flashed, and he said lightly.

Wang Qi perked up, and suddenly looked at Xia Yu, when he saw the boss's confident and mysterious smile, he was sure in his heart, and his brain began to spin rapidly, thinking about the possibilities.

According to the information he has collected about Wharf, the shareholding structure of Wharf is somewhat special.

Wharf and Hongkong Land have always been referred to as Jardine Matheson Wings, which should be taken literally as equals.

But that's not the case!

Jardine Matheson holds a controlling stake in Hongkong Land, which in turn controls Wharf, and over the years, Heung Kong Land now owns no more than 20% of Wharf.

In this way, Jiuding Securities is now the largest shareholder of Wharf on paper, and has replaced the Hongkong Land Group as considered by outsiders.

Although Jardine Group controls Hongkong Group, the proportion of shares will not be very high, so even if Jiuding Securities Company wants to acquire Wharf, Jardine Group will fight back, and it will have to fight back through Heung Kong Land Group.

As long as Jiuding Securities Company can bear it, then with the passage of time, Jiuding Securities Company will still have a chance.

Of course, if Jiuding Securities' funds are strong enough to take away the victory in waves before Jardine Matheson Group and Hongkong Group react, it would be better!

Thinking about it this way, Jiuding Securities' acquisition of Wharf is still possible, not whimsical!

However, there is only one premise for all this, that is, Jiuding Securities Company must be able to get so much money!

Otherwise, if it was known to Jardine Matheson or Hongkong Land, Jiuding Securities would have a fatal weakness.

If they are determined to be damaged and to suppress the stock price, if Jiuding Securities Company does not have enough funds in their hands to support the bottom, in case of liquidation, then everything will be over!

And if Hongkong Land Group launches a bidding to grab funds like in its previous life and gives a price of more than 100 Hong Kong dollars per share, Wharf's stock price will be raised to a market value of 10 billion, so if you want to control, Xia Yu will have to be like Bao Yugang, at least 2 or 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, and can only be worthy of 50% of the holding line.

Therefore, sufficient funds are the foundation of everything! Without funds, it is delusional!

The question is, can the boss Xia Yu really get a billion Hong Kong dollars?

Thinking of this, Wang Qi looked inquiring, and said: "Boss, if the funds are sufficient, if the preparation is sufficient, it is still very possible, but this fund is ......."

Before Wang Qi could finish speaking, Xia Yu directly interrupted him and said: "I will solve the matter of funds, since it is possible, then you can make an acquisition plan from now on, it's no problem, right?"

Xia Yu naturally couldn't tell Wang Qi that he would go to Europe to gamble and definitely make money.

If he really said that, Wang Qi and Elewen would definitely think that he was crazy, after all, no one would ever think that he could win a bet, unless he was a gambling god!

Xia Yu is not a god, but he is a reborn person, so he can naturally do it.

It's just that this matter must not be told to them, so the source of funds can only be kept secret.

And Xia Yu also wants to hide the funds after winning the bet, and when the time comes, he will naturally use a good shell to get the funds, so as to hide people's eyes and ears, so that people can't see his reality clearly.

Wang Qi nodded heavily and said firmly: "No problem!"

Since the boss doesn't say it, it's inconvenient for him to ask more, just assume that the boss can solve the problem, if the boss can't get the funds in the end, it's a big deal to give up the plan, which is just a waste of his time and energy.

Thinking of this, Wang Qi's mentality calmed down a lot.

"By the way, boss, how much money do you need to take with you?"

Wang Qi asked.

Xia Yu listened and thought about it.

This time he went out to Europe to gamble, not that the more money he brought, the better, nor that he could take it away, gamble bigger, and make more money.

In Europe, there are still many thousand-year-old families, and there are countless old families that are hundreds of years old, and large and small consortia are also everywhere.

None of the large gaming companies in Europe are simple, they are all controlled by big families and big conglomerates, and gambling on this kind of thing is naturally close to black.

If Xia Yu really thinks that the bookmaker is a good house, and the gold mountain of the World Cup is also unattended, and he gambles hard, then there is only one result!

That is, there is a life to make money and no life to spend!

He was even killed halfway through the bet!

So how much should he earn, neither be discovered, or if he is discovered, he will not be annoyed and angry and kill him, but also make as much money as possible to add hope for him to acquire Wharf.

The degree of this will only be determined after he goes to Europe and learns about the situation of major bookmakers on the spot.

Now, with his eyes blackened, he couldn't be sure that he wouldn't come!

However, one thing is certain, that is, he does not need to bring too much money over, and it is better to leave more money for Wang Qi to buy Wharf's shares.

After careful consideration, Xia Yu said: "Prepare two million pounds for me, and go to HSBC to exchange it." ”

It's 1978.

Since 1972, the Hong Kong dollar has been pegged to the US dollar, so from 1974 to the present, the official exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar has maintained a stable level of 4.6 Hong Kong dollars to 1 US dollar.

And the pound is also very strong, 1 pound to 1.92 dollars, so now 1 pound is worth 8.832 Hong Kong dollars.

In this way, two million pounds will need 17.664 million Hong Kong dollars to exchange.

Xia Yu took 17.664 million Hong Kong dollars, and Jiuding Securities Company will have more than 130 million Hong Kong dollars left in its hands, which should be enough, enough for Jiuding Securities Company to increase its stake in Wharf to 30%.

If this fund also leverages ten times the financial leverage, it is more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, even if the secret purchase is accidentally discovered in the middle of the purchase, holding such a large amount of money, Jiuding Securities Company also has a strong ability to protect itself.

However, Xia Yu does not plan to let this fund also be allocated with leverage, first, because there are not too many stocks scattered outside, and there is no need to use leverage, this more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars is enough for the time being, and when Xia Yu comes back with a large amount of money, it will be the beginning of the main event.

Second, as long as the leveraged allocation is used, the account will be supervised by HSBC, Xia Yu's account has been supervised by HSBC, and Jiuding Securities Company is still barely able to pass through the investment.

But if you have more than 100 million funds with a principal of more than 100 million yuan, and leverage the leverage to secretly buy Wharf's stocks, it will be a lice on the monk's head, obviously!

Therefore, Xia Yu is not ready to use financial leverage anymore unless he has his own bank to provide leveraged capital.

The third is that there are too many funds, in case the acquisition is exposed, and Xia Yu does not come back to control it personally, Wang Qi is likely to be unable to control the situation. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, he Xia Yu is the god of stocks, Wang Qi is not, Jiuding Securities Company with him and without him, the deterrent effect of outsiders is completely different!

"By the way, open some accounts for each of my private banks in Switzerland and keep the two million pounds in separate accounts. ”

Suddenly, Xia Yu thought of something and spoke.

"Okay!"

Wang Qi nodded heavily.

Then, Xia Yu and Wang Qi talked in detail for a while, and then sent the three away.

After Wang Qi and the three left, Xia Yu got up and walked around the office, and then stood in front of the window, looking at the surging crowd outside, his thoughts began to diverge, and he thought of a lot of things.

Before, Xia Yu didn't think about acquiring Wharf, the value of Wharf is not big, isn't he still clear?

The Wharf Group, after continuous development, reached 445 billion Hong Kong dollars in assets in 2014.

So now the Wharf is definitely a pearl covered with dust, just waiting for someone who knows the goods to pick it up, and wipe it clean and shine again.

So for Wharf, Xia Yu is also very greedy.

But he didn't lose his mind.

Considering his strength, he couldn't eat the Wharf at all, and Li Chaoren was afraid of the prestige of the Jardine Matheson Consortium and didn't dare to touch the Wharf, so he could only throw this piece of hot gold to the ship king Bao Yugang.

Of course, in this life, Li Chaoren did not send someone to secretly buy Wharf's stocks, Xia Yu guessed that it was probably because of the emergence of Jiuding Newspaper Company, which affected the pattern of the newspaper, so that Li Chaoren did not accidentally see other people's analysis of Wharf from a newspaper as in his previous life, so as to further send people to understand Wharf, and finally move his mind.

Having said that, Xia Yu is the same, knowing that the Wharf is a treasure, but he has no ability to pick it up, and if he is unwilling, it is definitely fake.

That kind of aggrieved and unwilling mood is only the deepest experience in Xia Yu's heart.

But due to reality, he still had to bow his head, so after thinking about it again, Xia Yu had to give up this idea and instead make as much of a profit as possible to strengthen himself.

So now the acquisition of so many Wharf shares is to sell to Bao Yugang at the beginning, make a profit from Bao Yugang, and then develop itself.

But who knew that he suddenly discovered the peerless opportunity of the World Cup, Xia Yu's already calm heart became active again, and the more he pondered, the more he felt that it was possible.

Since it is possible for him to catch the pearl of Wharf into his hands, Xia Yu will not be polite, if he doesn't seize this opportunity and don't work hard, he will definitely not forgive himself.

As for if the Wharf is really acquired, what should be done with Bao Yugang, the ship king who should be acquired in the original history?

This question only appeared in Xia Yu's mind for a moment, and then it flashed away.

Even if Xia Yu admires the ship king Bao Yugang again, it is impossible for him to give up the Wharf.

Since he was reborn in a lifetime, what Xia Yu can do is to let himself live happily and crisscross the world.

If you think about this and that, if you think about whether it will affect others, or feel guilty for robbing something that should belong to someone else, then Xia Yu doesn't need to do business, just find a mountain forest to hide for a lifetime.

So if the Wharf is really acquired, Xia Yu will say sorry to Bao Yugang in his heart, and even help him in the future without affecting himself.

But Wharf, it is impossible for him to give up!

So, charter king, I'm sorry!

Wharf, I want it!

Xia Yu's eyes flashed, he clenched his fists tightly, and said secretly in his heart.

ps: There are two main bodies in the article, the Jardine Consortium and the Jardine Group, which is not a miswording, but a deliberate one. The Jardine Matheson Consortium refers to the consortium formed by the major groups with the Jardine Group as the core, while the Jardine Matheson Group refers to a single company of the Jardine Matheson Group, don't get me wrong.
