Evening.

in the house.

Li Zekai glared and said, "Wang Sheng, it's awesome!"

Wang Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, I have saved my reputation a little." ”

"How did you save your reputation?" Li Zekai looked at his phone, "The stock market shouldn't be mistaken, the market value of Western silver and jade fell so badly two days ago, why did the company's market value rise instead of falling after two days?"

Cai Lin interjected a sentence on the side, "Didn't Nan, the founder of the Southern Investment Department, provoke our chairman two days ago, and then the chairman did a few things." ”

Li Zekai was stunned for a moment and said, "Nan Li Chuan, I have also met this person a few times, and he is a little capable, why did you fight with him?"

Wang Chen spread his hands and said helplessly: "I don't know about this, I have to ask him why he provoked me for no reason." ”

"And then how many things did you do?" asked Li Zekai.

"Hmm. Wang Chen nodded slightly.

Li Zekai said: "It's incredible, you! I'll look for the news and see what you've done!"

Wang Chen stretched, "Oh." ”

Li Zekai still couldn't believe it, and immediately searched on the Internet, and after a general understanding of the situation, he was completely convinced, gave a thumbs up to Wang Chen, and admired: "Okay, you, you are worthy of Wang Sheng, who has great powers, and you have nothing to say about this ability!"

"It's done. Wang Chen took a sip of water.

Li Zekai teased: "Although it takes a lot of energy and money to fight a lawsuit, but in this way, the popularity of Western silver jade will remain for a long time, and you can use this business method." ”

Wang Chen waved his hand and said: "This means can keep the company a certain degree of heat, but it can't play a fundamental role, it won't last long, although I have solved the matter of the chicken head, but from this matter, I learned some news, it is said that Tiffany seems to have taken a fancy to our Western silver jade, after all, their business has been declining in recent years, and they urgently need to expand new channels, such as the acquisition of the main business we are engaged in, the jade industry to please Chinese consumers, everyone knows that Tiffany's second largest market is our China, right?" It just so happens that our company's jadeite business is among the best in the world, and even if we seem to be able to get through it for the time being, I believe that since Tiffany & Co. has this plan, it will definitely not stop there, and will definitely find ways to lower the value of Western silver jade, and then issue a tender offer. ”

In the eyes of ordinary people, after Wang Chen seems to have proved that he is not lying, the crisis of the Western silver jade has passed, and the market value has risen a lot, but Wang Chen knows very well in his heart that this is not the key to fundamentally solving the problem, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves? Since Tiffany has moved the idea of taking the Western silver jade, it is not a way to be in a defensive state all the time.

Li Zekai didn't eat anymore, "Oh, is the source reliable? If it's reliable, then we have to discuss it carefully." ”

"The source is absolutely reliable, so I said I would like to consult with you about something. Wang Chen saw Cai Lin put away the bowl, said that he had worked hard, and then continued, "You can't be passive defense." ”

Li Zekai smiled bitterly: "What do you want to do if you don't defend passively? Do you want to buy Tiffany? The total market value of people is almost 11.5 billion US dollars, which is almost equivalent to 80 billion RMB, and we have so much money in total assets, but many of them are fixed assets, besides, just have money, people are not willing to sell, what can we do?"

Wang Chen fell silent.

"Well, that's right. ”

"Cai Dong, thank you. ”

"Okay, right?"

"That's right, the dishes cooked by Cai Dong himself must be delicious!"

Cai Lin went to the kitchen with dirty dishes and dirty dishes.

The remaining two were chatting over there.

It's all about how to deal with Tiffany.

Wang Chen had the idea of acquiring Tiffany & Co. in his heart, but when he heard Li Zekai say this just now, he realized that his economic strength was still a little worse, this is not the most critical point, the most critical point is that Tiffany & Co. is running well now, why should he sell his equity?

It's past seven o'clock.

Cai Lin still had some company affairs to deal with, so she went inside to have a video conference with Vice President Ma alone.

Wang Chen was still chatting with Li Zekai, and the two discussed countermeasures for a while, but no one came up with any good solutions.

At one point, the atmosphere became more and more silent.

Suddenly, Wang Chen looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and thought of something.

Wang Chen sat on the sofa, very interested in the beginning and end of that incident, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, I ask you something." ”

Li Zekai was thinking about the problem and snorted.

Wang Chen looked at it very seriously and asked, "How did you do it when you bought Hong Kong Telecom?"

"This matter is more complicated, let me put it simply, I first bought a shell listed company with a market value of more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and then let Yingdong go public through the backdoor, the stock rose 23 times, and the market value exceeded 200 billion at the highest, so that I have tens of billions on my books, and then I made an agreement with the bank to use the equity of Hong Kong Telecom that I have not yet acquired as collateral to obtain a large amount of money, which is very troublesome to say, you may not understand, how can I take something that I don't have as collateral, right?"

Wang Chen nodded.

Li Zekai continued: "Actually, it is not difficult, what about me, I have made a guarantee, if the acquisition is not successful, these funds will be returned to the bank immediately, and also pay a high interest, if the acquisition is successful, then in the next few years, the money will be exchanged for clean, after all, it is not clean The bank has the equity mortgage of Hong Kong Telecom, which can be sold to others, plus my profit market value is also very high, and part of the equity mortgage is also taken out, and the bank will not lose 100% of the money, so naturally I borrowed a large amount of money." ”

Wang Chen suddenly realized, it turned out to be like this, I have to say that this trick is really bold, if Li Zekai really failed at that time, he might have to lose a lot of money.

"In the end, I gave two sets of plans to the largest shareholder of Hong Kong Telecom at that time, one is a pure stock plan, with 1.1 Yingdong shares for 1 Hong Kong Telecom shares, and the other is 1 Yingdong shares in exchange for 0.7116 shares of Hong Kong Telecom, plus 7.23 Hong Kong dollars in cash, and finally the major shareholder chose the second set of plans, it's as simple as that. ”

Well?

When Wang Chen heard this, his eyes suddenly blinked, and he shouted at Li Zekai, who was still frowning: "Brother Li!"

Li Zekai looked sideways, revealing a puzzled look.

"I have a way!" Wang Chen said excitedly.

Li Zekai was stunned for a moment, "What way?"

Wang Chen laughed, "With your acquisition of Hong Kong Telecom, you bought Tiffany & Co."

Li Zekai said speechlessly: "Don't be whimsical, okay, when I bought Hong Kong Telecom, it was because Dadong Group itself wanted to sell 54 percent of its shares, so that there was an opportunity to acquire, Tiffany didn't think at all, why should it be acquired? Unless it is a hostile takeover, then not to mention whether it is successful or not, the amount of money spent will increase exponentially, and it will be unbearable." ”

Wang Chen said: "Who said that Tiffany & Co. didn't want to be acquired at all? Maybe we use leveraged buyouts, it's really possible!"

Li Zekai said: "Yo, do you still know about leveraged buyouts? Where do people show their willingness to be acquired?"

Wang Chen smiled, "I have a trick called inviting you into the urn." ”

Li Zekai was puzzled: "Please enter the urn?

Wang Chen hurriedly said: "I'll talk about this later, you can tell me carefully about the details of your acquisition of Hong Kong Telecom at that time, I understand the bank loan, what about the rest?"

Li Zekai recalled carefully, " At the beginning, there was really nothing to say about the loan of 13 billion US dollars, the bank looked at my old bean's face in a large way, and my company's market value of more than 200 billion, I remember that I had a competitor at that time Singapore Telecom, according to the logic the other party is larger than my Yingdong own market, but the problem is that Singapore Telecom is regulated by the government, Yingdong is not, there is no problem of freedom of control, coupled with the negative impact of Hong Kong Telecom at that time, the stock price fell from 23 Hong Kong dollars to 16.6 Hong Kong dollars, so Yingdong has a chance. ”

Wang Chen did not confirm: "In other words, if the stock price of Hong Kong Telecom does not fall sharply, you are very likely to fail in the acquisition?"

"yes. Li Zekai understands these very well, and his financial knowledge is very solid, and he said: "But if I have more money, even if the other party does not agree, there is still a way to acquire, you know? If I have a lot of money to a certain point, I can also use a hostile takeover to complete the control of Hong Kong Telecom, but it will not be as easy as you know, and then Yingdong and Heung Kong Telecom merged, and the market value skyrocketed, and I actually only took out more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, but I sat on 54% of the shares of the company with a market value of 500 billion or 600 billion, of course, and then because of some unavoidable things, the stock price plummeted into junk stocks, which is not to be talked about for the time being. ”

"How much did you earn at that time?" Wang Chen asked.

Li Zekai said: "At that time, it was no less than 150 billion Hong Kong dollars. ”

Wang Chen was taken aback, "Damn, you earned 150 billion Xiangjiang coins?"

Li Zekai sighed: "It's a pity, too many things happened later, resulting in a lot less profit than my profits, if it weren't for the fact that I owe too much money, maybe I'm richer than my old beans now, the main reason is to repay the bank's money, every time I sell a part of the market value of the stock to cash out and pay back, let the stock price fall once, in fact, this is not the most critical, the key is that the Internet industry entered the glacial period at that time, if it wasn't for the Internet bubble, maybe the richest Chinese is still me." He said this a little lonely.

This is indeed the truth, Wang Chen studied finance in college, and has studied one of the most classic M&A cases in history many times, on the one hand, debt, on the other hand, the Internet bubble, which caused Yingdong's stock price to plummet by 96%!

But now there is no bubble in the jewelry industry!

At this time, Wang Chen had a crazy idea in his heart.

At the end, Li Zekai finished speaking, "It's almost like this, I'll think of a way this time." ”

Wang Chen grabbed him, "What can you do?"

Li Zekai said speechlessly: "Otherwise, waiting for Tiffany & Co. to acquire Western silver jade, let us invest in the bamboo basket for nothing!"

Wang Chen gradually had a complete and crazy plan in his head, he clenched his fists, stood up, and said with a confident face: "Grass! Let's start first, don't defend or not, just buy Tiffany!"
