64 Stock market bumps
Unlike last time, this time Yao Mingcheng was no longer the driver, and after coming to Midea's company, the two took Xu Zhi's car together and rushed to the Recreation Building where Goldman Sachs was located.
Ah Bin drove the car in front without saying a word, Xu Zhiming got off a button next to the boss's seat, and a layer of soundproof panels slowly rose between the front and rear rows, and with the music playing, the driver in the front row couldn't hear what the people behind were saying at all.
Yao Mingcheng touched the surrounding decorations and said, "This car is indeed high-end, especially in terms of comfort and sound. ”
Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Then Lao Yao, you have to work harder and get a car like this as soon as possible." ”
Yao Mingcheng shook his head arrogantly and said: "No need, the car is just a tool, the general intermediate level is enough, you are in business, enter the pomp, and you need to buy this kind of money if you are not bad." ”
Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, my car is more than 100,000 yuan more expensive than yours, but it's really wrong, in fact, it's just a little bit different, it's just a little stronger in several aspects." ”
Yao Mingcheng said: "Almost! I heard that Wharf's stock has begun to rise, and Goldman Sachs probably came to us because of this." ”
Xu Zhidao: "It's possible, let's talk about it later." ”
Even if Xu Zhi values the arcade machine he is currently developing, after all, most of his net worth is invested in Wharf, and it is impossible not to care.
Goldman Sachs is indeed a master of operating stocks, and it has been slowly absorbing stocks, but the stock price of Wharf is still rising and falling, and it has been stopped there steadily, knowing that in recent days, the stock price has begun to rise by almost 20 percent.
Soon, the two were in Goldman Sachs' office.
Gao Yada was already waiting for them at the moment, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he said, "Xu Sheng, Yao Sheng, welcome." ”
Xu Zhi smiled: "Gao Sheng is polite. ”
After a few casual greetings, Xu Zhi asked, "I don't know what happened when Gao Sheng asked us to come?"
Gao Yada nodded and said: "Yes, the stock price of Wharf has suddenly started to rise sharply recently, and the number of purchases has suddenly increased a lot, according to our experience, there should be strong buyers entering the market?"
Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Can you find out who is buying behind the scenes?"
Gao Yada shook his head and said: "I can't find out, this person uses the same tricks as us, dozens or hundreds of accounts are slowly buying at the same time, and he often scraps some old accounts, and then uses some new accounts, and the purchase amount is not very large each time, so he is very cautious." ”
Xu Zhi asked: "Since you are so cautious, how did you find out, and the stock price has risen a lot?"
Gao Yada replied with a smile: "If only one person does this, it's no problem, the other party's purchase volume is actually larger than ours, although various means are used, but it should not be discovered in a short period of time, the reason why the stock price has risen so much is because the two are secretly buying at the same time, and as a result, the two secretly met together, which caused a large increase in the purchase volume, and the stock price also rose very quickly." ”
Xu Zhi asked, "Then are you still buying?"
Gao Yada shook his head and said: "No, if you continue to operate, I'm afraid that the market will soon find an abnormality, and Wharf Company is not a fool, you may not pay attention to the rise once or twice, and if it rises too much, it will definitely be found that the problem will be discovered." ”
Xu Zhidao: "Yes, how much have we already bought?"
Gao Yada replied: "A total of 75 million funds, so far it has cost almost 60 million, we already hold 5.3% of the equity of Wharf, and now the problem is that there are about 15 million funds, what to do with this money, do you want to continue, now because the stock price has risen too much, both of us have not dared to buy anymore." ”
Xu Zhi nodded and asked, "We have discovered each other here, do you think the other party will find out about our existence?" ”
Gao Yada said: "It's hard to say, we can find out the other party because we have been slowly buying Wharf stocks in the past two months, the other party's words are new entrants, it may have been discovered, it may not know, but if the other party sends someone to check the transaction records of the past few months, we can still find out some information, even if we hide it well, but so many capital flows, there are still some clues." ”
Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Then if you were the other party, what would you do?"
Gao Yada said: "If it were me, I would sell a stock according to it, suppress the market, first see if the stock price will fall, under normal circumstances, a large number of sales, the stock price will definitely fall, if not, it means that someone has been buying behind the scenes." ”
Xu Zhi nodded and asked, "What does Gao Sheng think we should do?"
Gao Yada said: "Then it depends on Xu Sheng's purpose, if you just want to increase your shares, then you can go next, it doesn't matter if the other party finds out, if not, you can't invest again." And more importantly, the purpose of the other party, whether it is a short-term hype or a desire to launch an acquisition, affects all decisions. ”
Xu Zhi shook his head and smiled: "I want to acquire, but how can I have this ability, even the shares I am acquiring now are leveraged financing." ”
Gao Yada said: "If Xu Sheng is really willing, we feel that we have room to operate, and we Goldman Sachs can provide more funds to help you." ”
Xu Zhileng said: "Goldman Sachs is too big, the market value of Wharf is more than 100 million, this is going to be acquired, the stock price will inevitably skyrocket, and it is impossible to succeed in the acquisition without a billion yuan, not to mention that we don't know who the other party is entering now, let alone Jardine and Land behind Wharf." ”
Gao Yada said with a smile: "We believe in Xu Sheng's potential, and the crane machine is a good example. ”
Even if it is attractive, but the risk is too great, Xu Zhi still shook his head and refused: "This is unrealistic, let's not talk about these meaningless things!"
Wharf is a very high-quality asset, but the snake can swallow the elephant, but the ant cannot, if it really ends, Goldman Sachs only needs to cut off the capital, not only all the hard work is in vain, I am afraid that the bankruptcy will not be enough to compensate the interest.
Taking a step back, even if Goldman Sachs helped wholeheartedly, Xu Zhi knew the fierceness of the battle for Wharf in later generations, and the two largest consortia in Xiangjiang fought a bloody battle in the stock market, confronting Jardine Matheson, even the richest Chinese man, although he won in the end, he was also burdened with heavy debts.
Of course, he is the richest man, not a fool, and in the long run, even if he spends a lot of unjust money, he still makes a lot of money in the end.
Hearing Xu Zhiming's refusal, Gao Yada couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, this is an opportunity for Goldman Sachs to enter the Xiangjiang capital market, no matter what the final result is, Goldman Sachs' name will inevitably be known by the wealthy people in Xiangjiang, and future cooperation will naturally be more convenient.
Gao Yada said: "Xu Sheng, we Goldman Sachs have another idea, that is, we will invest in buying the shares in Xu Sheng's hands, an increase of 20%. ”
"What do you want to do after you buy it?" Xu Zhi asked in surprise, "No, you also want to buy Wharf, do you?"
Gao Yada said with a smile: "We have been investigating the situation of Wharf in the past few months, and found that if we operate the operation, it will definitely be much better than the current situation, so ......"
"Fuck" Xu Zhi couldn't help but complain 10,000 times in his heart, he couldn't imagine that his behavior actually aroused Goldman Sachs' interest in Wharf, this butterfly effect can be played, Goldman Sachs is one of the top consortia in the United States, if the headquarters supports it, what bullshit Jardine Matheson is not an opponent.
But if this is the case, the entire business history of Xiangjiang will be completely changed, and even the war between the United States and Britain is estimated to become the after-dinner conversation of the entire Xiangjiang people, and this kind of operation will definitely attract the attention of the Hong Kong government, and maybe it will also lead to the Hong Kong government enacting some different laws, and then ..................
There are too many butterfly effects, Xu Zhi can't think about it, and directly refused: "No, I still hold the Wharf for the time being, and when I want to make a move one day, Goldman Sachs is the first choice." ”
Gao Yada was a little disappointed, after all, there is now another force entering the market, Goldman Sachs has missed the best opportunity, if it is really hard to hit Goldman Sachs, it is naturally not afraid, but there is no benefit to Goldman Sachs in investing without profits, after all, unlike Bao Yugang who wants to really operate, Goldman Sachs just wants to buy Wharf at a low price, and then sell it separately for a profit.
After thinking for a while, Gao Yada, who returned to business, said: "Xu Sheng, there are still more than 10 million funds in the account now, since Xu Sheng has decided not to enter the market again, is this money for other purposes, if not, you can return it first." ”
"More than 10 million. Xu Zhi thought for a while, if he could, Xu Zhi still wanted to get it himself, but unfortunately, this is the financing funds, which are all on Goldman Sachs' account, Xu Zhi can decide how to use it, but if he wants to get it, it is impossible.
Xu Zhi thought for a while and said, "Since the money can still be used, then don't pay it back first, and buy all the shares of Hutchison!"
"Hutchison?" Gao Yada nodded, having been in Xiangjiang for so many years, of course he knew about Hutchison Whampoa.
As early as 75 years, Hutchison was forced into debt by many creditors, and almost ended in bankruptcy and liquidation, HSBC, as a board member at the time, vetoed the management's proposal to inject capital into each shareholder on a pro-rata basis, and in the absence of a choice, Hutchison was forced to sell 33.65% of its shares to HSBC. HSBC also swallowed Hutchison without blood.
But Hutchison's problems are still there, the company suffered serious losses, HSBC later invited Wei Li, known as the "company doctor", to run Hutchison, just two years later, Hutchison turned a profit, and under the guidance of HSBC, annexed Whampoa Company and changed its name to Hutchison.
At this time, the market value of Hutchison exceeded one billion Hong Kong dollars, but many people were still optimistic about its future.
