"Li Sheng, why did you withdraw from the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, didn't you say that you and Huang Zhi will definitely win?"

"Excuse me, what is the transaction price of Li Sheng, Wang Sheng, and Hutchison?"

"Wang Sheng, may I ask whether the shares in the hands of Evergrande Group have exceeded 50% and meet the criteria for making a takeover offer. ”

……

Countless reporters rushed to ask all kinds of questions, Wang Liming smiled and signaled everyone to be quiet, and said: "Please be quiet, the agreement reached with Comrade Li Jiacheng this time is also a decision made for the development of Hutchison Whampoa Company, about the transaction price, because we Evergrande Company is a non-listed company, and the seller Mr. Li Jiacheng is also an individual, so according to the law, we can choose not to announce it." ”

A reporter from the Hong Kong Economic Journal immediately asked: "Wang Sheng, countless shareholders in Xiangjiang hold shares of Hutchison Whampoa, but the two major shareholders have reached a deal without making a sound, is it irresponsible to countless shareholders?"

Wang Liming said coldly: "The stock belongs to Mr. Li Jiacheng, and the cash we buy is our own company, so what does it have to do with the shareholders? Do we have to give an account to the shareholders when we sell the stocks? Why don't the shareholders need to notify us when they buy and sell the stocks?"

The Hong Kong Economic Journal reporter replied: "This is different, any behavior of shareholders will not have an impact on the major shareholders, but the actions of the major shareholders will affect the stock price, especially during the acquisition period, and according to the data previously released by Evergrande, the number of shares held by Evergrande Group has now reached the standard of making a takeover offer stipulated in the law." ”

Wang Liming didn't bother to explain, and said: "You can do it without violating the law, our actions are completely legal, as for whether the acquisition offer is reached, I can make it very clear that at present, our shares are less than 50%, and we have submitted all the information to the Securities Regulatory Commission, so there is no need to worry about this." ”

Another reporter asked: "I wonder if Evergrande Group intends to increase its holdings in Hutchison shares, or does it plan to privatize it?"

Wang Liming replied: "This is an internal secret of the company, and there is no comment!"

A reporter from Ming Pao asked: "Why did Li Sheng give up Hutchison Whampoa? You once said that acquiring Hutchison shares is a step towards your success in business!"

Li Jiacheng said: "Everything has a value, I am very satisfied with the price of Hutchison shares, and this money will be used for other investments, at the same time, I will also serve as a director of Hutchison Whampoa, Evergrande will also serve as a director of Cheung Kong Industrial, in the future, Cheung Kong and Hutchison will develop together, and obtain the greatest benefits for the shareholders of the two major companies!"

……

The press conference lasted for an hour, and the reporters were eager to figure out the price of the deal, but they never got a final answer.

"Li Jiacheng is really good at controlling his emotions. Xu Zhigang had been upstairs looking at the scene in the conference hall downstairs, and couldn't help but sigh.

Since Xu Zhi met Li Jiacheng, he has hardly changed his face, he will always be the standard smiling face, facing Xu Zhi, facing Shen Bi, facing the waiter, facing anyone, after losing Hutchison, he did not show any disappointment and anger, as if it had never happened.

Wang Liming said beside him: "If he couldn't even control his emotions, he wouldn't have achieved today's success." ”

"Indeed!" Xu Zhi nodded, it is said that when Zhang Ziqiang kidnapped his son in the later generations, Li Jiacheng faced the kidnappers with bombs tied to his body, without the slightest fear, nor did he show any worry about his son, but it was like talking about business, his mood was stable, even Zhang Ziqiang was impressed by him, and after losing all the money later, he also called Li Jiacheng to ask about the investment method.

Wang Liming asked: "Now that Hutchison's stock price has fallen, we have already bought Li Jiacheng's shares, and we currently hold almost 30% of Hutchison's shares.

Xu Zhidao: "Don't increase shares, there are already many people who suspect that we are deliberately speculating in the stock price to cash out, and now we are increasing our shares, not to tell them that we have insufficient shares in our hands, you know, in theory, Li Jiacheng and I have more than 50% of the stocks in our hands!"

Wang Liming said: "I understand, then I will continue to arrange for the stock market to slowly acquire." ”

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "The stock market is actually not in a hurry, you can't buy close to 20% of the shares in a short period of time without affecting the stock price, now we are the largest shareholder of Hutchison, as long as the board of directors and management are in control, the rest of the matter is much simpler." I heard that Wei Li's group is still jumping up and down?"

Wang Liming said: "Yes, although the people I sent have been assigned some positions, they are basically fictitious, and they can't control the company's rights at all." At the same time, many Chinese who took the initiative to make friends with us were suppressed in various ways, and some were even forced to resign. ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "Of course, he has already become the emperor, do you expect him to abdicate so willingly?"

Wang Liming said: "The entire management of Hutchison is currently controlled by Wei Li's people, and even if we control the board of directors, it will be difficult to move him in a short period of time. ”

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "At the beginning, I promised him to let him continue to manage and Huang, although I wanted to use him to directly obtain a controlling stake in Hutchison through a private placement, but it is undeniable that his ability is still very strong, but the biggest mistake he made was self-righteousness, let's go, go to Hutchison Building, and see if he wants to play any tricks when he convenes the board of directors." ”

……

"Xu Sheng, congratulations on getting your wish!" Wei Li said with a smile on the chair of the rostrum in the conference room of the Hutchison Building.

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "It's okay, I don't know what Wei Li is doing with your board meeting this time?"

It was not Xu Zhi and Wei Li who were present, many directors except HSBC had already arrived, and Li Jiacheng also rushed over.

Wei Li said: "Xu Sheng, you and Li Sheng have had an equity exchange, how can this kind of major event be understood by the company, the two of them have more shares, and now that they are together, we want to know how many Hutchison Whampoa shares Xu Sheng has in his hands?"

Xu Zhi said: "How many stocks I have in my hands, this should be my own business, right? I'm a lazy person, and I don't want to meddle in Hutchison Whampoa for the time being. ”

Wei Li smiled: "That is, Xu Sheng also has his own business, we understand, but Huang is currently in financial difficulties, recently an overseas consortium contacted me, they are optimistic about the future development of Heung Kong Hutchison, hoping to invest in our company through a private placement."

According to the company law, a single shareholder with more than 33.4% has a veto power over the capital increase and share expansion, so before going to the board of directors, I would like to confirm with Xu Sheng, if Xu Sheng you agree, it is naturally nothing, and this proposal will go directly to the board of directors to vote.

If Xu Sheng does not agree, as long as Xu Sheng takes out the official documents provided by the Securities Regulatory Commission to prove that you own 33.4% of Hutchison shares, and then exercise a veto power, then we will naturally stop this capital increase, and we will not waste the time of the directors, after all, everyone's time is precious, what does Xu Sheng think?"
