"Xu Sheng, please!" In an office on the highest floor of the Hutchison Building, the secretary took Xu Zhi into a luxurious office!

Wei Li walked out from the inside and said with a smile: "Xu Sheng, welcome!"

Xu Zhidao: "Mr. Wei Li's office is really luxurious!"

Wei Li said: "This is left by the former Taipan Qi Dezun, but the decoration is really good, if Xu Sheng is interested, I can also prepare a similar office for you in this Hutchison Building!"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "The office doesn't care about luxury, the key is whether it can play a role." ”

Wei Li smiled and said, "Xu Sheng, please sit down, I heard that Xu Sheng also bought Hutchison Whampoa's shares at a premium on the stock market, it seems that he is very optimistic about our company?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Of course, not only the company, but also Mr. Wei Li's management ability, a company as big as Hutchison can achieve profitability within a year in your hands, which is indeed remarkable." ”

Wei Li smiled when he heard this: "Xu Sheng, in the words of the Chinese, I will open the skylight and say something bright, if you want to get more equity, I can help you, but you must promise me one condition!"

Xu Zhi smiled: "Let's not talk about the conditions, what can you help me?"

Wei Li said: "The way to increase shares is nothing more than to buy shares or the company's private placement of shares, Xu Sheng has publicly stated that he wants to take out 1 billion to Hutchison financing, as long as the board of directors passes this condition, then Xu Sheng's shares you hold will exceed 35%, and Li Jiacheng's shares will be reduced by less than 20%, as long as so, the victory will be announced immediately!"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "This method is theoretically possible, but this kind of financing requires the consent of two-thirds of the directors, and as long as 33.4% of the equity holders do not agree, then it will fail, but Li Jiacheng has 22.65% of the shares in his hands."

And before he bought the shares in HSBC, if he was secretly buying Hutchison shares like me, then he alone might be close to 3% of the shares.

So to follow your method, you have to convince all the other directors that it's not easy, and bringing in my capital will dilute their shares!"

Wei Li nodded and said: "It's really difficult, but this is an opportunity to try, Xu Sheng's current acquisition price on the stock market is very attractive, but if it is only to buy some people's shares, this money will not be of any use to Hutchison, but if financing comes in, it can not only allow Xu Sheng to successfully become the owner of Hutchison, but also bring enough funds for Hutchison's development, wouldn't this be the best of both worlds?"

Xu Zhidao: "Okay, then let's try it! What are your conditions?"

Wei Li said: "The conditions are very simple, if Xu Sheng becomes the majority shareholder of Hutchison, then now all the management continues to perform their duties, and at the same time, Xu Sheng must be the same as HSBC, not to interfere with the operation of Hutchison, our annual Hutchison stock dividends will be credited to Xu Sheng's account on time, and if there is an opportunity to cooperate in the future, we can also work together!"

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Then what's the point of me acquiring Hutchison Whampoa? You want to be a new wall, I don't want to be Keswick!"

Wei Li said: "Xu Sheng, I know that you have started from scratch in just a few years, and your worth may be on an equal footing with Bao Yugang, but regarding management and large enterprises like Huang, Xu Sheng, you don't have enough experience, and you don't have so many talents under you, so leave it to me to manage, Xu Sheng just needs to sit back and enjoy it, isn't it very good?"

"There is some truth, but it is impossible for me to ignore it completely, you should know that my main business is completely different from Hutchison, I promise you that as long as you help me obtain a controlling stake in Hutchison, I can let you continue to be the Hutchison Taipan, but I must participate in some of Hutchison's big investments and policy decisions. Xu Zhi said strongly.

This sentence is not false, Xu Zhi himself has no people who can manage and Huang such a large enterprise, and Wei Li himself is very capable, in the later life, even if he leaves Hutchison, he will also be in the Xiangjiang shopping mall, let him continue to manage and Huang, Xu Zhi provides some investment information at key points in time, which is definitely a perfect match, but beware of this guy is too arrogant, and often does not take HSBC in his eyes in the HSBC era.

Wei Li frowned, thought for a while and said, "How do I know that Xu Sheng you won't cross the river and tear down the bridge after getting the shares?"

"There are no guarantees!" Xu Zhi sneered: "If Li Jiacheng becomes the owner of Hutchison, he has countless elites under him, do you think he will let you continue to be the chairman of Hutchison?"

Follow me, you still have a chance, otherwise, I think Mr. Willy should know very well what the final outcome is?"

Wei Li pondered for a while and said, "Okay, I promise Xu Sheng, if we cooperate, we can theoretically suppress Li Jiacheng, but the most troublesome thing is the HSBC behind him!"

"HSBC?" Xu Zhi asked with some confusion: "Don't they only have 10% of the preferred shares?

Wei Li said with a wry smile: "Xu Sheng, HSBC is a bank, and it is also our biggest creditor of Hutchison, even if we don't have our stocks, it can also determine the company's various decisions to a large extent!"

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Understood, this matter depends on the follow-up development, when is the next board of directors?"

"The board can be convened at any time, but I need time to convince some of the directors. ”

"No problem. Xu Zhi smiled: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

......

After Xu Zhi left, Richard walked in and asked Wei Li, "How is it?"

Wei Li said: "Of course, it is easiest for him to cooperate with us, as long as he is smart, he will definitely cooperate with us!"

Richard asked: "But if Xu Zhi really gets a controlling stake, we can't help but prevent him from crossing the river and demolishing the bridge!"

Wei Li said: "I have already considered this, the current middle and senior management of Hutchison are all British, I have reached a consensus with them, advance and retreat together, whether it is Li Jiacheng or Xu Zhi, no matter who controls the company, if you want to fight for management rights, you have to face the consequences of our collective resignation." ”

Richard said: "It's better not to use this trick until the last moment, and this kind of thing can't be picked out, even if both sides are very clear, but if you say it, it's really a complete fallout!"

"I know that. Wei Li said: "No matter what, it is already a reality for Chinese capital to become the owner of Hutchison, the difference is that Li Jiacheng has his own elite team, and after he becomes the owner of Hutchison, he will inevitably slowly arrange his own people to enter the management, even if we stop it, we can only delay it for a few years."

But Xu Zhi is different, he has only been in business for two years, and the talents under him are estimated to be not enough to manage his own company, and he is worth enough to have enough cash for us to develop, which is also beneficial to us.

Taking a step back, even Xu Zhi is the same as Li Jiacheng, he wants to get rid of us and completely control Hutchison, but as long as Xu Zhi can't do without our management and Huang in the past few years, I have a way to slowly raise funds externally and dilute the shares in his hands, and there are many ways to do it, what we need at present is time!"

Richard nodded and said, "So what else do we need to do now?"

Wei Li said: "Contact more foreign funds to see if you can borrow enough funds, without your own shares, no matter how high the status is, no matter how great the credit, it is just to make a wedding dress for others!"
