209 Battle for Hutchison Whampoa (18)

Evergrande Company:

"Xu Sheng, Richard is here!" Wang Liming took a white man and introduced him to Xu Zhidao.

"You may be seated. Xu Zhi said.

Richard sat on the sofa opposite Xu Zhi and said, "Thank you Xu Sheng!"

Xu Zhi asked, "Mr. Richard, what's going on with the Xinong Group?"

"Xu Sheng, just call me Richard. Richard said: "In fact, when Xu Sheng just announced the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, Wei Li began to prepare to contact overseas consortiums, but some of Hutchison's current problems are still difficult, at that time, if you want to get a share of shares that can compete with you or Li Jiacheng, the funds needed are as high as hundreds of millions of dollars, and Wei Li has not found any of them."

Later, he sought to obtain a loan from a foreign bank to buy Hutchison shares, but in the end he was unsuccessful. ”

Xu Zhi asked: "Then why is this Xinong Group willing to invest?"

Richard said: "I don't know, we once made a list of people who might be willing to invest in Hutchison, and there is no Xinong Group at all, I don't know how he got on this line?"

Xu Zhi frowned and thought for a while, and then asked, "Some time ago, did Wei Li meet anyone?"

Richard thought for a while and said: "It's basically a normal situation, if it's suspicious, HSBC Shen Bi once asked Wei Li to visit, I asked Wei Li later, and he didn't want to say too much." ”

"Shen Bi. Xu Zhimo fell in love twice and said, "When did they meet?"

Richard said: "It's almost October 6th. ”

"Sure enough, before proposing to make a high stock price. Xu Zhi also understood a little, so he said, "Okay, then thank you Richard!"

Richard nodded and said, "It's nothing, as long as Xu Sheng remembers what he promised me." ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "No problem!"

The deal between Richard and Xu Zhi is very simple, in the current period of time, he will do his best to help Xu Zhi get the information he needs to know, and after Xu Zhi takes control of Hutchison, Richard will be the new senior class.

Richard is currently the second-in-command of the entire Hutchison Group, second only to Wei Li, in later generations, after Lao Li obtained more than 40% of the shares, Wei Li resigned and left to start his own business, and Li Richard took over the next Taipan position.

The difference is that Wei Li is too arrogant, and even Shen Bi can't tolerate him, while Richard also has ambitions and wants to be in charge of Hutchison alone, and develop the company according to his own philosophy, but if you think about it carefully, this is also a normal phenomenon, how can you climb to such a high position without ambition.

Before there is not enough self-built team, Stable Hutchison must need the original team, originally Wei Li as long as it is not excessive, Xu Zhi is also willing to turn a blind eye, but now that he has fallen out, it is just right to arrange Richard to replace him, although this person should not be trusted, but as long as Hutchison can be maintained, it will be enough for the time being.

After Richard left, Wang Liming walked in and said: "Xu Sheng, I arranged for someone to investigate all the high-level executives of Xinong Group, and found that one of the directors and Shen Bi used to be college classmates, and the relationship between the two is not clear, I have arranged for someone to go to that university to investigate, but it is very old, and it is estimated that it will take a while to find out." ”

"No need. Xu Zhi smiled: "We are not a police investigation, we have to find out some evidence, it is enough to have this relationship." ”

"Yes. Wang Liming nodded and said: "In this way, when Li Jiacheng suggested that we cash out Gao Hehuang stocks with him, this bureau has been set up, and we have both cashed out a lot, resulting in even after we acquired Li Jiacheng's shares, it was less than 33.4%, and then waited until the nominal acquisition war was over, the stock price returned to normal, and then used a foreign capital to dilute our shares." ”

Xu Zhidao: "Where did the foreign capital come from, it is estimated that this Xinong Group is only nominal, the funds are likely to be Li Jiacheng's cash-out and Huang's money, or HSBC's money, as long as the new major shareholders become the owner, they and Wei Li join forces, you can slowly dilute my shares, as long as you wait a few years, you can sell the stock to Li Jiacheng again, turn around, Li Jiacheng can become the owner of Hutchison again, not only that, but he also made a lot of money by operating Hutchison stocks with us before!"

Wang Liming nodded and said: "It's possible, but this kind of layout must require Wei Li's cooperation, he is at odds with HSBC and Li Jiacheng, why would he suddenly agree to them, you know, we promised to let him continue to be the master of Hutchison?"

Xu Zhidao: "There is no reason, it just depends on whether the interests are enough, doesn't Richard also defect to us? Do you think he is sincere? Even if we take control of Hutchison in the future, he will find a way to get rid of us as a major shareholder like Wei Li."

And now, for Richard, it doesn't matter who can be in Hutchison, the important thing is that if he wants to achieve his goal, he must stand on the opposite side of Wayrie's choice, otherwise Wayri will succeed, and he will never have a chance. ”

Wang Liming said: "So what are we going to do now? Even if we don't buy Hutchison, we still have to make the necessary preparations. ”

Xu Zhidao: "Don't worry, this kind of thing must be approved by the board of directors first, in the turn of the shareholders' meeting, the stock price was speculated so high some time ago, and many receivers bought at a high price, they will not agree to this price, and my proposal for a comprehensive acquisition is just a delaying measure." ”

The value of Hutchison is high in the future, but it is good for this kind of traditional enterprise to control the controlling stake, there is no need to consume funds for privatization, and besides, listing is also a channel to unite all parties of consortiums and forces.

Wang Liming said: "I understand, Goldman Sachs Bank has already provided a loanable amount of 500 million US dollars, do you want to send it to Hutchison first?"

At present, it is almost the end of the year, the international price of gold has been as high as 650 US dollars an ounce, Xu Zhi at a price of almost 300 US dollars to make a total of 1.25 billion US dollars of gold, because the time is relatively long, the interest is also high, but even if you start to cash out now, the net profit is not less than 1 billion US dollars, in fact, even the acquisition of SITC Bank has some of the funds are Goldman Sachs loans, and then a 500 million US dollars loanable amount of proof, easily!

Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "No, you can make an appointment with Kadoorie and Wheelock for me, and I want to talk to them personally." ”

Wang Liming said: "Let's make an appointment together? These two people are British, and we should break them individually!"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "No, just make an appointment together, what about the British? Shen Bi sold Hutchison to Li Jiacheng, as long as the interests are enough, this group of people can immediately rebel. ”

Wang Liming smiled: "Okay, I'll go immediately." ”
