The butterfly effect can affect many things, but some things happen later, but there are many causes, and some may have been conceived a long time ago.

In fact, the Wharf was acquired, the assets are extremely good, the management is conservative, the management is chaotic, this kind of company encounters the era of the rise of Chinese capital, it will inevitably be targeted by some predators, even if there is no Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang, there will be other people involved.

From Li Jiacheng's point of view, he wants to expand, he set a goal to exceed the land ten years ago, he is always looking for opportunities, 77 years, he annexed the American Yonggao company, setting a precedent for Chinese acquisition of foreign capital, but Yonggao is just a small piece of meat, his ambition is a fat pig's trotters, and the fat Wharf will naturally be discovered, but because of the butterfly effect caused by Xu Zhi, the acquisition seems to have happened a month earlier than history.

Cheung Kong Headquarters:

Li Jiacheng looked at the red sunset in the distance, thinking about some of the company's tedious things, and couldn't help but be a little fascinated.

This year is the most important year in the history of Cheung Kong Asset, and the redevelopment of the China Bank from HSBC last year has gone very smoothly, and according to the estimates of its architects, it will be completed by April next year.

This year, he acquired Yonggao Company and became a Chinese-funded hero in the hearts of the people.

This year, he defeated Hongkong Land, Swire and many other conglomerates to win the property rights of Admiralty and Chater stations.

Just the month before, he had stumbled upon a newspaper about Wharf and was interested in investigating the company. And the latter result is also very satisfactory to him, this is a company with total assets of more than 5 billion, but a market value of only 1 billion.

Why is this happening?

First, the stock market crash in 74 has just passed, and many people have suffered heavy losses, especially many shareholders know that some predators will reverse manipulate shares, so they don't play.

Second, house prices began to skyrocket, and a lot of money went into the housing market.

As a result, a company has a large amount of land, but even if the liabilities are deducted, these lands far exceed the market value.

This is the case with Wharf, the British of Jardine Matheson are stubborn and self-serving, and they also know that land is valuable, so they refuse to sell even a piece of land, and the houses built on these land are not willing to sell, but rent out to slowly recoup the money.

This model is an excellent effect for enterprises with low debts, but at this time, the global banks are tightening, interest rates are high, Wharf is extremely heavily indebted, and a large amount of money has to be invested in the construction of Harbour City, the largest real estate project in Hong Kong, all of which has led to the company's successive losses.

Of course, to some extent, this approach is not wrong, as long as you survive this period, you can earn a lot of money every year in the future, and in later generations, the annual rent of Harbour City will exceed 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

In his opinion, it is very foolish to insist on developing and holding heavy assets, because this is too high a capital requirement, which will seriously drag down the company's cash flow, and once the economy falls, the company is likely to collapse.

According to the conclusion of his stock market experts, there should be a mysterious fund in the secret acquisition, and it may be earlier than himself, so he sent someone to investigate all the Wharf stocks some time ago, and finally found some clues, Goldman Sachs' financial company in Xiangjiang has been secretly buying two months ago, but it is difficult to find out how much it has acquired, and the other party has also discovered him, and both parties have tacitly stopped the acquisition.

"Li Sheng, the securities company replied to the news, the stock price began to fall after we sold the stock, and the other party did not buy it. Secretary Hong Xiaolian walked in and said behind him.

After waiting for a while, Li Jiacheng sighed and said, "I don't know if this is good news." ”

The other party did not follow up, indicating that not only did the other party discover him, but also recognized that his sell-off was just a test.

Hong Xiaolian asked: "If the other party didn't buy it, will it have given up?"

Li Jiacheng shook his head and said: "If it were me, I would never give up, who would be willing to give up such a big piece of fat, but if everyone fights, it will only attract more hyenas, and maybe it will wake up the elephant of Jardine and Jardine. ”

Hong Xiaolian asked again: "Then what should we do? The securities department has stopped, now do we sell at a high price, or continue to buy?"

Li Jiacheng thought for a long time and said: "Continue to acquire, but first slowly, slowly acquire, first slowly hit the stock price down, don't let the people in the Jardine family find out." ”

Hong Xiaolian nodded and said, "Okay, understood." ”

…………

On the way back to the United States, Yao Mingcheng said with a smile: "Congratulations to Xu Sheng, all the plans are finally completed." ”

Xu Zhidao: "That's also Lao Yao, your main credit, if you hadn't gone to those companies to buy those people, Wharf today may not have attracted the attention of these Chinese-funded predators!"

Yao Mingcheng was naturally happy and said, "Yes, I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to set up this game, and now it's finally time to harvest." ”

Xu Zhi nodded and asked, "How much money did you invest, Lao Yao?"

Yao Mingcheng said: "It's only 300,000, but I didn't take leverage, now that I think about it, I still regret it, I should have invested a little more!"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "This is not an investment, this is a gamble, but this time we have made a small village, and we may not necessarily win, but fortunately, we are basically seven points sure now." ”

Yao Mingcheng asked, "Xu Sheng, who do you guess this time?"

Xu Zhi smiled: "I'm not sure, but it's very likely to be Li Jiacheng of Changjiang Industrial, he has the ability, courage and ambition." ”

Yao Mingcheng said: "Xu Sheng seems to be very optimistic about Changjiang Industrial, when we decided to infiltrate several major Chinese-funded companies, you were most optimistic about Changjiang Industrial, in order to buy some clerks around Li Jiacheng, we paid a lot of price. ”

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "This little money is nothing, but these people really dare to ask for money, just let them send more newspapers we designated to the president's office, and dare to offer a price of tens of thousands of yuan." ”

Yao Mingcheng said: "Yes, but there is no way to do it, few people can do this, even some company executives can't send newspapers." ”

"Yes, as long as we achieve our goal, everything else is a small detail. Xu Zhi drove his arm to the window, put his face on his face, looked out the window and smiled.

In order to set up this bureau, Xu Zhi and Yao Mingcheng racked their brains.

Investing in Wharf is a huge gamble that cannot be tolerated. If Xu Zhi had just crossed over and had a certain amount of money on him, he wouldn't have the slightest worry, as long as he was long the stock and then closed his eyes to collect the money.

However, because the influence of Kunlun and Drunken Fist is too great, Xu Zhi is worried that it will affect Li Jiacheng's investment plan, or time, you must know that Xu Zhi is now long on leverage, if the time is different from history, the huge interest can ruin everything.

In order to replicate history as much as possible, Xu Zhi decided to invite several financial experts to introduce the information of Wharf in the newspaper and assess the value of Wharf as extremely high.

Now and different from the Internet era in later generations, the public's understanding of the world or information comes from newspapers and television stations, although TV stations have a greater influence, but because of business relations, most of their time is various programs and advertisements, and there is not much time for real news.

In this case, the newspaper is even more important, because there is no limit to what can be covered in it.

As a wealthy person, most people have to read various newspapers every day, but there are too many types of newspapers, and the rich themselves are relatively busy, so generally speaking, there will be a special secretary who goes through the newspaper first and then turns in the information he thinks is useful.

Yao Mingcheng contacted these people, and lured them to send these newspapers with a lot of money. Although these people themselves have a lot of income, let them do the act of betraying the company, maybe a little money is simply impossible. But what Yao Mingcheng asked to do was not a betrayal of the company, so an agreement was reached on a certain price.

Of course, Xu Zhi is most optimistic about Li Jiacheng, but in order to avoid Yao Mingcheng having too many problems, he still agreed to spend a little more money to do the same with other rich people.

Although it cost hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, after all the hard work, someone finally took the bait and fell in love with Wharf, and the stock price is about to soar from then on.
