284. Hostile Takeovers
There is a popular saying among the people, called "If there is a road in heaven, you will not go, and if there is no door to hell, you will want to break through".
Guo Yongkun has encountered such a thing now.
New Century Land, a second-rate real estate company in Gangcheng, is mainly engaged in the area of 9 Dragons and the New Territories, and its development is all new-level real estate. The boss's name is Zou Hongyue.
Guo Yongkun has no grievances with him, and he has never even known him.
However, this person has a cousin in Yangcheng, in the mainland, and a cousin named Xu Haiping.
So why did the other party look for himself everywhere, Guo Yongkun had a rough guess.
Obviously, Xu Haiping already knew about his coming to Hong Kong City. And when I came to Hong Kong City at this juncture, I can figure out the meaning of a person, just to make money.
So, Xu Haiping was a little worried, so he talked to his cousin Zou Hongyue, asked him to find himself, and then tried his best to get in the way and sabotage his money-making plan.
Even if it's more serious, it's possible to trap yourself in Port City.
Aside from this speculation, Guo Yongkun couldn't think of a reasonable explanation.
Jianlibao is now the No. 1 beverage brand in the mainland, backed by a huge market of nearly one billion people, with unlimited potential in the future.
It can be described as wolf ambition!
If they really succeeded, Guo Yongkun would really live this life in vain!
However, they obviously didn't know anything about Guo Yongkun's strength.
He is angry now, and with his character, there is no reason to be calculated, and he is still indifferent.
"Brother Guo, are you okay?"
He sat on the couch with an angry expression, the tape had finished, and he was still staring intently at the TV. As long as Lan Lingyun is not stupid, she can see that something is wrong, and she can't help but be concerned.
"Oh, it's fine. Guo Yongkun squeezed out a smile and said, "I just want to do something." ”
Lan Lingyun nodded, "Then I'll go to sleep first." ”
"Hmm. ”
It was already late at night, and the clock had passed past 11 o'clock.
In all fairness, Guo Yongkun really didn't have the idea of taking advantage of the collapse of Hong Kong stocks to rob while the situation was hot, but now, he has changed his mind.
When Xu Haiping met last time, the reason why he looked like he was holding the chance to win was not his cousin Zou Hongyue?
And Zou Hongyue's hole card is nothing more than Kaiyuan Land.
Well, he wants to let Kaiyuan Land change its name!
Let you two bastards jump, and a fly swatter will be swatted to death!
In addition, on a case-by-case basis, real estate is actually very fragrant in recent years, and the average price of real estate in Hong Kong City is only a few thousand Hong Kong dollars.
He decided to make this acquisition plan the first project of Ronghui Venture Capital in Hong Kong City.
The doorbell rang, and Guo Yongkun and the others arrived.
Chen Dashao walked in with a tired face with the boss's bag, and without saying a word, he first went to the refrigerator to take out a can of beer and poured most of it in one go.
"Good work. ”
"Okay, let's talk about that. ”
Chen Dashao opened the zipper of the boss's bag, took out a document from it, put down the beer can, and said as if reporting work, "It's all clear." New Century Land is a typical template for listed companies, with many shareholders.
Zou Hongyue is the largest shareholder, accounting for 31.3 shares. Then the other 11 members of the board of directors, together with 40.6 shares. The rest is the market outstanding, 28.1. ”
Guo Yongkun frowned slightly, "The equity distribution is very strict." ”
In this way, even if he absorbs all the outstanding shares in the market, it is impossible to surpass Zou Hongyue and become the largest shareholder.
"That's right. Chen Dashao nodded and said: "So if you want to control Kaiyuan Land, the circulating shares in the market alone are definitely not enough, and you have to start from the other shareholders of the board of directors." ”
"What about Kaiyuan Land's financial performance?" asked Guo Yongkun.
"See for yourself. Major General Chen handed over the information in his hand.
The financial reports of listed companies need to be disclosed to the market in a timely manner, so it is not difficult to get them.
Guo Yongkun studied carefully, and what is more troublesome is that the development of Kaiyuan Land is quite good, and its performance has been steadily rising.
As a result, major shareholders usually see their shares as potential stocks and will not sell them easily.
Fortunately, there is a stock market crash right now.
This is Guo Yongkun's opportunity.
"There's one person on the board that I can handle. Chen Dashao said suddenly.
"Oh, who?" asked Guo Yongkun.
"Pang Shenghua. ”
Guo Yongkun hurriedly checked the information and quickly found the details of Pang Shenghua, who accounted for 8.7 shares and was the third largest shareholder of Kaiyuan Land.
If you can win this 8.7, plus the 28.1 outstanding shares in the market, it will really surpass Zou Hongyue.
Guo Yongkun is still very confident in the circulating shares in the market, on October 25, the Hang Seng Index plummeted by more than 800 points, what is this concept?
The Hang Seng Index is only more than 3,000 points in total, and it has fallen by a quarter, and few ordinary shareholders can resist the pressure, and the herd mentality has always been the most terrible crisis in the stock market crash.
Even if he can't win them all, he is sure to get more than 9 percent, and there should be no second buyer in the market besides him at that time.
After all, Kaiyuan Land is not a hot blue chip stock, and there are really masters to buy the bottom, and there is no reason to fall in love with it.
Of course, the equity exceeds Zou Hongyue, which is not his goal. He wants a controlling stake.
Because only in this way can he have the ability to carry out some commotion operations, such as dilution of shares or something, and kick Zou Hongyue out.
With his current financial strength, playing Zou Hongyue is simply effortless.
"Friendship?"
"A little. Chen Dashao explained: "This Pang Shenghua also has a company, which fell miserably on Monday, and if it falls further, it is estimated that it will not be far from forced delisting, which is his lifeline, so he should know how to make trade-offs." ”
"Very good!" Guo Yongkun curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "In this case, you should be able to get about 35 of the equity." However, it is not enough, I have to get at least 51 shares. ”
He looked at the information in his hand and continued, "Can this second largest shareholder handle it?"
The second largest shareholder of Kaiyuan Land, named Li Maoming, accounts for exactly 18 shares. If you can get him done, you'll be fine.
"Li Maoming......" Chen Dashao sighed and said: "The surname is Li, this guy is not bad for money." ”
"Why, could it be that you can still have a relationship with Li Chaoren or the fourth uncle?" asked Guo Yongkun.
"A relative of the fourth uncle's family. ”
That's really not a bad guy.
"I can pay a little more, wait until the stock market opens on the 25th, and Kaiyuan Land will definitely plummet, and I will buy his shares at the price before the market opens. Guo Yongkun groaned.
"If that's the case, I'll go over and talk to a lawyer. ”
Chen Dashao feels that this is quite reliable.
Think about it, if your stock was $10 per share before the market opened, and it suddenly plummeted on the 25th, falling to $5 per share. At this time, someone suddenly found you and said that you could buy your stock at a price of 10 yuan.
So generally speaking, the average person will be excited. This is equivalent to indirectly compensating for your losses.
After all, you are an investor, not a business founder or anything, of course, you have to put your interests first. As for the market in the future, do you know what will happen?
It is often said that "a crisis is an opportunity", and the stock market crash is undoubtedly the best opportunity for corporate acquisitions.
This is also the reason why when he suggested that the old Chen family sell the stocks, Guo Yongkun deliberately let them retain the equity of 51, even if they would lose a large part of their interests.
I'm afraid that someone will take the opportunity to buy it.
Obviously, Zou Hongyue's control over Kaiyuan Land is not as stable as the old Chen family's control over Bole Group.
......
On Thursday morning, Guo Yongkun came to Goldman Sachs.
This time, it was no longer Wen Caini or David who received him. Both of them have been disqualified.
Lu Xiwen personally led him to the president's office in the awe-inspiring eyes of Goldman Sachs employees.
"Oh, my dear Guo, what a pleasure to see you. ”
Although Lu Xiwen still translated it again, Guo Yongkun can still understand such a simple English.
Smith smiled, stepped forward and held Guo Yongkun's hand tightly, shaking it for a long time.
Wednesday's U.S. stock market closed at five o'clock this morning, and the result is obvious.
"How many points has the Dow Jones risen?" Guo Yongkun smiled and asked knowingly.
"160 points!" Lu Xiwen replied directly, his eyes were shining, "Mr. Guo, you are so godly!"
Everything is in line with the speculation of the other side, US time, on Tuesday morning, Greenspan preempted the opening of Wall Street and announced the Federal Reserve's decision to guarantee sufficient funding to commercial banks across the country.
This move is the opposite of the Fed's tightening of credit in 1929 at a critical juncture.
Subsequently, Baker, the treasurer who caused the "monstrous disaster", ordered his assistants to make phone calls to the business giants one by one, lest one of them miss the news.
The "reassuring pill" worked immediately. The two major commercial banks in the United States immediately announced a reduction in preferential interest rates.
The government's commitment, coupled with the swift response of mainstream banks, rebuilt the confidence of companies listed on Wall Street and began a massive bailout by buying back shares.
As a direct result of this move, the Dow Jones index quickly recovered 160 points on Wednesday.
Goldman Sachs, on the other hand, bought a portion of the blue-chip stocks on Tuesday that used to be very sought-after in the market. Once the stock market stabilizes, these will be rare resources and worth a lot of money.
"So, our agreement?" Guo Yongkun came to collect the account today.
50 million US dollars, more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars, he just doesn't love money, and he can't be indifferent.
"Don't worry, Mr. Guo, I'll arrange it immediately. Smith immediately made a phone call to arrange for the Finance Department to allocate funds, and said with a smile, "I am very much looking forward to the next cooperation with Mr. Guo, if you have any layout for the stock market, Goldman Sachs is your most sincere partner." ”
Through Guo Yongkun's news this time, Smith is the one who has gained the most, not only turning the tide and making up for the huge losses for the company, but also being highly praised by the leaders of the headquarters, which can be described as fame and fortune.
He understood more and more the importance of the young man in front of him.
It is definitely a great blessing in life to be a partner, or even a friend, with such a person.
"If you want to cooperate, let's see the opportunity. However, this time there is really a business to entrust to you. Immediately, Guo Yongkun told about the absorption of Kaiyuan Land's outstanding shares.
"Kaiyuan Land?" Lu Xiwen was surprised, "How could Mr. Guo be interested in this company?"
Because in his opinion, as a real estate company, this company can only be regarded as second-rate, with the strength and capital of the young man in front of him, even if he really wants to invest in the real estate industry, Li Chaoren's Hutchison Whampoa, Liu Luanxiong's Chinese real estate, isn't it fragrant?
"I entrusted you to buy the stocks, do you have to explain a reason?" Guo Yongkun glanced at him angrily.
"Not really. Lu Xiwen smiled awkwardly.
"Lu, you are really, Mr. Guo will do what he says. "Smith played the round at the right time. Then warmly invited Guo Yongkun to lunch.
Guo Yongkun did not refuse.
To have a good relationship with Goldman Sachs, now that I think about it, it is actually quite necessary, especially for "hostile" takeovers like this, Goldman Sachs is definitely the best gunner.
There is no mistake
