"Why? If it's because of the shares, we can discuss it again!" Bao Yugang asked.

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Bao Sheng thinks that I bought Hutchison Whampoa just for that fixed dividend every year?"

Bao Yugang frowned after hearing this and did not speak.

Xu Zhi asked again: "Bao Sheng, you are still competing with Jardine Matheson for Wharf, why?

Bao Yugang said: "This is different, Jardine has been operating Wharf for so many years, and Wharf has been losing money seriously, while Li Jiacheng's Cheung Kong has been moving forward rapidly!"

Xu Zhi asked: "Then if the Wharf is given to Li Jiacheng to operate, and you only get dividends, are you willing?"

"This ......" Bao Yugang frowned tightly and did not answer.

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Each of us has our own way of doing business, Li Jiacheng may have a strong management ability, but Hutchison is in his hands, that is his industry, no matter how high my investment share, it is just an investment, and it has nothing to do with me!"

Bao Yugang sighed and said, "It seems that I can't convince Xu Sheng today?"

"Bao Sheng, when you come in from this door, you should know that it is impossible to convince me!" Xu Zhi shook his head and said, the acquisition of Hutchison is not just for profit, if from the perspective of investment, it is enough to invest in Changjiang and Hutchison, with Li Jiacheng's management ability, coupled with the future he knows, the United will be invincible.

But the key is that he holds fewer shares, he must be unhappy, more shares, Li Jiacheng is unhappy, you know, Comrade Li's various stock market operations are enough to be compiled into a textbook for the world's top colleges to study.

Cheung Kong Industrial, Hutchison Whampoa and the future HK Electric Group were allotted shares at a high price and repurchased at a low price by him, and they went back and forth countless times, Li Jiacheng has more and more money in his hands, and more and more shares, if he joins a joint venture, he will be diluted if he doesn't pay attention, and it is the kind you can't deny.

Not to mention that Xu Zhi's purpose in acquiring Hutchison from the beginning was to increase his influence in the economic field, and it was impossible for him to give it to anyone!

Bao Yugang said with a smile: "I'm just coming here to try it, but Xu Sheng, you're still playing too much, it's just a matter of competing for Hutchison Whampoa, you still want to buy Cheung Kong Industrial, and you are targeting HSBC, which is adding fuel to the fire." ”

"What about HSBC, you ask for a loan, I don't need it. Xu Zhi sneered: "It is in a small place like Xiangjiang that HSBC can be arrogant." ”

At this time, HSBC was still only a regional bank, and its internationalization had just begun, and it was still far from one of the top ten banks in the world in later generations.

Bao Yugang said: "I know that Xu Sheng's main business market is overseas, but HSBC is the quasi-central bank of Xiangjiang, as long as your headquarters is still in Xiangjiang, it is best not to get too stiff with HSBC, I can tell you a news, Shen Bi is ready to lend Li Jiacheng another sum of money, so that he can use it to stabilize his company, you and Li Jiacheng with HSBC behind you continue to fight like this, it will only be a lose-lose situation!"

"Alas, there is no way, this money is still not as much as the bank's. Xu Zhi said jokingly.

Bao Yugang nodded and said, "Since Xu Sheng, you have your own ideas, then I won't force it too much, and I'll leave if there's nothing to do!"

"Wait. Xu Zhidao: "Bao Sheng, how is the acquisition of Wharf now?"

"Why does Xu Sheng care about this?" Bao Yugang smiled and said: "At present, I have acquired 30% of the shares, 10% more than Jardine, but it is useless to have more shares, Wharf is still controlled by Jardine, and I can only quarrel with them on the board of directors!"

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, the only way is for Bao Sheng to increase your stake to 49%, otherwise you will never get the Wharf." ”

Bao Yugang nodded and said: "Of course I know, but at present, because I and Jardine Matheson are both acquiring, the stock price is close to 70 Hong Kong dollars, and it is a bit unbearable to continue to acquire!"

Xu Zhi said: "Bao Sheng, as far as I know, Jardine Matheson has found a buyer for the Golden Gate Building, and the transaction value may be around HK$1 billion, so you have to be prepared in advance." ”

Bao Yugang nodded and said: "I know, Chen Songqing of Jianing, I heard about this at the HSBC board of directors, Chen Songqing is going to take a loan from HSBC to buy this building, and Shen Bi is checking the transaction." ”

"I see!" Xu Zhi couldn't help snickering in his heart, Chen Songqing finally stretched out his claws to HSBC.

Xu Zhi continued: "Bao Sheng, I want to make a deal with you. ”

Bao Yugang said with some confusion: "What deal?"

Xu Zhidao: "Bao Sheng, you should know that I was buying shares of Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa a long time ago, but in fact, I also bought some of the Wharf!"

Bao Yugang's eyes lit up and asked, "How many do you have?"

Xu Zhi smiled: "Almost 10%!"

"10%!" Bao Yugang was suddenly excited, and calmed down for a while before saying, "How did you acquire so many shares?"

Xu Zhi smiled: "Of course not recently, in fact, when Bao Sheng just obtained the shares of Wharf, I was already slowly acquiring them!"

When Bao Yugang just got the Wharf shares, in order to show that he was just an investment and paralyzed the people of Jardine, he did not make any acquisitions at all in the first half a year, you must know that in the original history, Wharf has been in a state of slow decline after Li Bao changed hands, and in this life, because Xu Zhi is secretly acquiring, the shares of Wharf have not fallen much.

Until recent months, after a number of board conflicts, Jardine Matheson and Bao Yugang have realized that it is impossible for the two sides to live in peace, so they have begun to secretly buy shares, causing the stock price to rise sharply.

Bao Yugang nodded and said: "I can't imagine that in addition to Hutchison Whampoa, Xu Sheng will not even let go of Wharf!"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Bao Sheng, you have wronged me, I was indeed very optimistic about Wharf at the beginning, but you and Jardine Matheson are competing for hegemony, there is no point in me getting involved again, this is just a pure investment, otherwise I would not be able to tell you about it now!"

Bao Yugang said: "Okay, then I am willing to buy all the shares in Xu Sheng's hands at a premium of 20% at the current market price, I don't know what I think?"

At this moment, the shares of Wharf have reached 66 Hong Kong dollars, a premium of 20%, almost 80 Hong Kong dollars per share, 10% of the shares are almost 10 million shares, with a total value of 800 million Hong Kong dollars, and Xu Zhi because of the early acquisition, the average purchase price is less than 40 Hong Kong dollars.

Xu Zhi smiled: "Bao Sheng is really refreshing, but I won't agree for the time being!"

It seems that Xu Zhi is very profitable at a premium of 20%, but you must know that if Bao Yugang acquires even 1% more in the stock market at the moment, the news comes out, it is estimated that the stock price will skyrocket immediately, maybe it can exceed 20%, which is why Jardine Matheson and Bao Yugang have stopped acquiring recently, the stock market is too sensitive.

Bao Yugang said: "Xu Sheng wants to wait until the last minute? In terms of possibility, this can indeed obtain higher benefits, but if I reach an agreement with Jardine Matheson, then Xu Sheng's good plan will be a chicken and a chicken!"
