Chapter 162: The Dust Settles

In mid-August, Sun Hung Kai's real estate company complained about Jardine Matheson's failure to raise its license in violation of regulations, and Hui Ziming's Kowloon Bus Company, which holds 20% of Sun Hung Kai Properties' shares, has become particularly important.

These news are more or less good news for Xu Ziming. It's just that Guan Zhilin's condition is still the same, even if her old bean Guan Shan went to see it, she couldn't help frowning and shaking her head.

Xu Ziming and Pan Disheng are both legal representatives of Kowloon Motor Bus, and Sun Hung Kai Properties has recently sent people to talk, but Xu Ziming has repeatedly refused with his busy time, the reason is very simple, how much Sun Hung Kai still has now, both sides know. But this time, Xu Ziming couldn't refuse anymore, because Sun Hung Kai found a middleman, the king of charter boats.

When it comes to the wealth in Hong Kong, the most prominent among the Chinese is not Li Jiacheng, nor Lee Shau-kee, nor Cheng Yu-tung, but the charter king.

Xu Ziming has a deep relationship with the charter king, the Wharf business war, Xu Ziming not only earned the favor of the charter king, but also made huge profits, and then although the charter king did not recognize the direction in the real estate market last year, the loss was huge, but his family property is also very strong, the key point is that Xu Ziming has a good relationship with the charter king.

Since the charter king acted as an intermediary and invited Xu Ziming, Pan Disheng and Sun Hung Kai's Guo Desheng to talk at his home, Xu Ziming was of course not easy to refuse, and he could not miss the appointment.

Pan Disheng and Hui Ziming came out of the Kowloon Bus Bus and squeezed into a black Mercedes-Benz car, which Pan Disheng bought not long ago.

Pan Disheng glanced out the car window at the branch of Jardine Matheson that he was passing by just now, and said in a muffled voice: "How could Bao Yugang suddenly intervene in this matter." Did you know that Jardine Matheson has offered three dollars above the current stock price to buy 20% of our shares? ”

Xu Ziming shrugged his shoulders very calmly and said, "Have you already decided to talk to Yihe?" ”

After a long while, Pan Disheng swallowed his saliva and said: "Mr. Xu, we will sell them all now, and our income will be hundreds of millions, hundreds of millions!" Pan Disheng's eyes were already full of golden light, and in just a few months, he could make a profit of hundreds of millions, which was unimaginable.

"It's really tempting, but the charter king is involved in this matter, I don't think it's that simple. Xu Ziming pondered for a moment and said calmly.

"Then let's see what medicine is sold in this charter boat king pot. Pan Dee was annoyed, if it weren't for Xu Ziming's insistence on going to Bao Yugang's to talk, he would be at the negotiation table with Jardine Matheson today, not in this car.

No. 77 Deep Water Bay is the mansion of the world's ship king Bao Yugang, Bao Yugang is the richest Chinese at the moment.

After driving directly through the open iron gate and parking the car neatly, Xu Ziming and Pan Disheng got out of the car and found that several cars had been parked in front of the gate of Pao Yugang's home, and Xu Ziming knew that these cars must be several shareholders of Sun Hung Kai.

Xu Ziming tidied up his clothes, took a deep breath, raised his feet and went to the door with Pan Desheng on the side.

There were several people sitting in the hall, but Xu Ziming recognized Bao Yugang at a glance.

"The King of Charters. Xu Ziming shouted directly, the face of the ship king is bigger than himself, and there has never been a reason for the elders to greet the younger generations first.

Bao Yugang held a cigar in his mouth, looked around leisurely, smiled at everyone, and then said to Xu Ziming who came to him, "Xu Xiaoyou, I really admire it more and more, under both Sun Hung Kai and Jardine Matheson, they can make profits, become the ultimate winner, and have the right to speak, so we have to be embarrassed by those of us here." ”

The charter king laughed. ”

Xu Ziming and Pan Disheng just smiled and nodded, and sat down on the sofa like everyone else, Xu Ziming has no problem with his sitting posture, but Pan Disheng likes to set up Erlang's legs like many people.

The position of the group is a little strange, Xu Ziming's position is adjacent to Guo Desheng and Lee Shau-kee's position, but it is facing the charter boat king, and the charter boat king sees that everyone is seated, and said: "Xu Xiaoyou, I invite you to come today, I really hope that you Kowloon Bus and Sun Hung Kai can have a good talk." ”

Pan Desheng asked anxiously: "I take the liberty of asking, how much does Sun Hung Kai want to give per share?" He smiled, and while the maid helped him add tea, he said: "The price given by Jardine Matheson is already higher than the three yuan in the market." ”

He deliberately stretched out three fingers in front of Sun Hung Kai shareholders.

"This, this ......" Guo Desheng, Li Shauji and others were shocked by Pan Disheng's sudden words, and immediately choked and couldn't speak.

The charter king just smiled and raised his teacup to drink, and said in an approachable tone: "Pan Xiaoyou, the conditions of Jardine Matheson are indeed attractive, but in the final analysis, Jardine Matheson is a British-funded group, and Sun Hung Kai and Kowloon Bus are both Chinese enterprises. The two are fighting each other, and in the end they hurt each other, why should they cheapen the British-funded group to reduce the achievements of our Chinese in Hong Kong. ”

Xu Ziming was a little surprised by the words of the charter king, could it be that he was going to play the emotional card this time.

Pan Disheng drank a cup of hot tea, spat out hot air, and said unhurriedly: "What the charter king said is indeed reasonable, but we businessmen are also profitable, if Sun Hung Kai can get a higher share price than Jardine Matheson now, I think Mr. Xu and I will definitely hand over 20% of the shares in our hands." ”

Bao Yugang didn't react much, but looked at Xu Ziming very meaningfully, and said slowly: "Today's scene reminds me of the battle in Wharf at the beginning, although two years have passed, but it is particularly fresh in my memory. The British-funded group always wanted to ban the rights and interests of our Chinese in Hong Kong, but Shen Bi of HSBC helped me and won the battle of Wharf. At the beginning, we Chinese also relied on the help of HSBC, and now we are the same Chinese, as long as the Chinese cooperate with each other, we do not need to trouble HSBC, and we can drive the British-funded group out of the Chinese group. ”

After saying so much, Bao Yugang directly snuffed out the cigar in his mouth, threw it into the ashtray, and said frankly: "The current situation is favorable to us, and there is no need to ask for a British-funded group." If they want to be shareholders, they can, but if they want to take control, this is absolutely not possible. ”

Seeing that Bao Yugang had already said so clearly, Guo Desheng hurriedly said: "Two little friends, businessmen are indeed careful not to lose money as much as possible, but if we Chinese can get a controlling stake and manage the company's business, Sun Hung Kai is better than a British-funded group in whose hands." If the two little friends can sell me this time, Sun Hung Kai can have the opportunity to rise in the future, and even become bigger and stronger, and I will remember the help of the two little friends. ”

Xu Ziming was no longer silent, and said cautiously: "I'm just a fledgling, so naturally I will be a little free." Since the charter king is a lobbyist, I just want Sun Hung Kai to tell the truth, how much money are you going to spend to take over 20% of our equity. ”

Guo Desheng's confidence seemed to be a little lacking here, and he paused and said: "700 million Hong Kong dollars." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people sitting were silent, and Pan Desheng wanted to scold, but fortunately, Xu Ziming curbed it in time, and the situation inevitably happened.

700 million is ridiculous for the two of them, and they can't even get back to their old capital, but this money is already a rare capital for the stretched Sun Hung Kai.

Xu Ziming smiled bitterly, in fact, he was in the middle and embarrassed, on one side was the charter king, on the other hand was his partner Pan Disheng, it didn't matter if he lost or not, the key was that Pan Disheng was working with him, if he was allowed to lose, he would not be happy.

He now understands whether Sun Hung Kai's controlling rights can be clarified from tomorrow, perhaps tonight's negotiations.

Xu Ziming said quite sincerely: "It doesn't matter if I lose something, but Mr. Pan can't lose money, it is better to buy 15% of the shares with 700 million yuan." ”

The charter king's speech really touched Xu Ziming very much, because he is a patriotic entrepreneur in his bones, and he would rather cheap Chinese enterprises than cheap British-funded groups.

Guo Desheng shook his head helplessly and said: "We need to recover the full amount, even if we continue to issue additional shares, the British-funded Group will forever lose the right to vote on Sun Hung Kai." But we only have 700 million on our hands."

When the conversation talks about this, it has involved the interests of both sides, Sun Hung Kai refuses to retreat, Xu Ziming and both sides are unwilling, no one wants to work hard, it was originally a big profit, but in the end it was a loss.

"Xu Xiaoyou, how about I invest 200 million to help Sun Hung Kai subscribe for the remaining five percent of your shares. Bao Yugang deliberately broke the embarrassing atmosphere, Sun Hung Kai's price was really harsh, and Rao was a lobbyist who couldn't stand it.

Xu Ziming deliberately glanced at Pan Disheng, Pan Disheng nodded by default, and agreed schematically, so that a series of expenses were withdrawn, just to return to the cost, although there was no big profit expected by Pan Disheng, but he did not reject the face of the charter king.

The words of the charter king made the two shareholders of Sun Hung Kai suddenly happy, but for Xu Ziming, he had already expected the ending.

His turnaround battle was defeated, and he originally wanted to borrow this equity to raise his value, but this time he had to give up because of the form.

This abandonment means that it is about to lose a lot of things.

But in the future, with the help of charter kings and Sun Hung Kai, these seem to be worth mentioning.

After that, a group of people reached an agreement, and at the same time asked the representative of Shuangfa to bring the equity certificate and sign the transfer. The whole process was held in the room of the charter king, and did not attract the attention and tracking of the Hong Kong media. The news of the equity transfer was not reported until noon the next day.

The battle for Sun Hung Kai shares, which lasted nearly two months, came to an end tonight, and Sun Hung Kai's Kwok Desheng finally increased the number of shares in his hands and had absolute control.

Kowloon Motor Coach and Sun Hung Kai, Jardine Matheson, and many of them involved more than 5 billion yuan in funds, and this equity battle was another interesting story after Hong Kong Wharf in the 80s.

Also in Hong Kong later, the turmoil about Sun Hung Kai's equity competition has widely become a textbook case of listed companies in the future, and this incident has also been adapted into a TV series many times, and the protagonist is "The Dispute of the Times" based on Xu Ziming and Pan Disheng.
