Tang Wan walked around the room for five or six minutes before returning to the sand in the living room and sitting down.
Looking at Liang Yuan's smile and grinning, he didn't realize it, and said: "You little bastard said weird and scary things on the phone, it doesn't seem to be a big deal, tell Aunt Ning what the hell you are doing in Hong Kong." ”
"Listening to Aunt Ning's words, I thought I was going to go overseas in the future, just saw that Aunt Ning actually had the heart to visit the room, I knew that the newspaper was not a big deal, since I could go back, of course I was relieved. Liang Yuan said with a smile.
Seeing Tang Wan making a gesture to throw the sand cushion next to him, Liang Yuan quickly pulled the topic into the topic and said, "Aunt Ning thinks this hotel is not bad, right?"
"Well, although Aunt Ning has little knowledge, whether it is the Federal Republic of Germany or China, this hotel is the most pleasing to Aunt Ning's eyes. ”
Liang Yuanxin said that whether it was the Hamburg Hotel where Tang Wan lived with her two girls in the Federal Republic of Germany last year, or the Great Wall Hotel in Beiping, where Tang Wan often went to in the Republic, they were all top hotels in their respective countries.
"Aunt Ning, I'm going to buy this hotel. Liang Yuan said.
"Xiaoyuan plans to enter the hotel industry? Could it be that Xiaoyuan wants to develop the Shangri-La Hotel in Shengjing into a chain group?"
"Aunt Ning told you that you have to think about it, if Xiaoyuan develops Shangri-La into a chain hotel group, it needs to change its name, Shangri-La is a famous consortium run by overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, and there is already a hotel with the name of Shangri-La in Beiping in China. ”
Liang Yuan listened to Tang Wan say a lot of words very quickly, and couldn't help but feel grateful, when the hotel was built, Liang Yuan just casually named Shangri-La, and when the main body of the hotel was completed, Liang Yuan remembered that the Malaysian Genting Group, to which the Shangri-La Hotel belonged, had entered the Republic as early as 87 years.
At the beginning, Yuanjia built a lot of construction in Shengjing, claiming to build the tallest building in Northeast China, and the media in Liaoning Province had already hyped it countless times, as long as Shangri-La in Beiping was not a fool. I'm sure I've heard of this high-rise building built in the capital of the next province.
In the face of this kind of "chiluo" naked infringement, the reason why no one has come to the door is that it must have a close relationship with Tang Wan, Liang Yuan listened to the meaning of Tang Wan's words, if Liang Yuan insisted on going his own way, he would have the intention of throwing out the genuine cards.
How could Liang Yuan have thought that as Genting International's partner in the Republic, the Republic Minmetals Group had already approached Tang Wan because of the name of the hotel. As a result, Tang Wan directly pushed back.
In Tang Wan's words, everyone was approved in 87 years, why can't we call it Shangri-La, and the one in Beiping is called Shangri-La International Hotel, and the Shangri-La Hotel in Shengjing is two different things, since the Liaoning Provincial Government has approved the Shangri-La Hotel project. It means that we are reasonable and legal, and if Minmetals is not satisfied with the provincial decision, it is better to complain to the State Council.
Not to mention that in the 80s, even the metallurgical department of the Republic of China in the new century was not a strong yamen, otherwise the famous metallurgical department would not have become a metallurgical association, and Minmetals was not a fool, how could this kind of lawsuit be won, fortunately, the Shangri-La Hotel in China belongs to the Minmetals Group Holdings, and in the end, this matter did not even set off a wave. Directly and silently became a thing of the past.
"Aunt Ning, last year, I also criticized real estate and other industries with the senior management of Yuanjia, how can I focus on the hotel industry. Liang Yuan smiled.
"This hotel called Mandarin Oriental is the best hotel in Hong Kong, and it belongs to the property of Jardine Matheson Matheson in Hong Kong. Liang Yuan simply stated his purpose.
"What!" Tang Wan's voice involuntarily rose three degrees higher.
Just last year, Jia Xiaosheng, the helmsman of Hong Kong's CITIC, who is regarded as a business wizard by countless people in the Republic, united several first-class Chinese-funded consortia in Hong Kong. A takeover war was launched against Jardine Matheson's Hongkong Land.
The two sides fought around the stock market for more than half a year, and finally the Chinese-funded consortium gained nothing, and was forced to sign an alliance with Jardine Matheson, and the two sides agreed that within seven years, the Chinese-funded consortium would no longer acquire the equity of any company owned by Jardine Matheson, and in return Jardine Matheson would acquire the shares in the hands of the Chinese-funded consortium at market price.
The failure of the acquisition of Hongkong Land was the first time that Hong Kong's CITIC failed on Hong Kong Island, and Jardine Matheson brought countless troubles to the diplomacy of the Republic at that time.
As the largest and oldest foreign firm in Hong Kong. Jardine Matheson not only encouraged British businessmen to leave Hong Kong, but also made a big talk about the end of the 97th century, which caused a great adverse impact on Hong Kong society, just after the New Year this year. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic, Qian Qichen, also officially named Jardine Matheson and warned him not to undermine Hong Kong's prosperity and stability.
"Aunt Ning, after signing the cooperation agreement with mBB, I had a meeting with Zhou Yuanhang and Sun Zhuolin in Europe, in order to avoid being controlled by others in the future, the meeting decided that COMAC would independently set up human resources in aviation, and then work in the joint venture company in the form of dispatch. ”
"After the formation of the resolution, COMAC's finance made a budget, before the CM75 passenger aircraft entered service and was sold, COMAC's annual labor cost expenditure was about 200 million US dollars, such a big hole even if the entire group could not make up for it, I pondered and pondered that I am still familiar with Hong Kong, and I plan to find some extra money here. ”
"Then Xiaoyuan is planning to buy Jardine?" the surprise in Tang Wan's eyes did not diminish at all.
Liang Yuan nodded honestly and said, "The root of this matter is still on Aunt Ning. ”
"On me?" the puzzle in Tang Wan's eyes became more and more intense.
"Aunt Ning once warned me not to get involved in some messy things in Shengjing, and I have always admired Aunt Ning's judgment in this regard. ”
"If, I mean, if Aunt Ning's judgment is not wrong, then what will be the situation for Hong Kong? Last year, during Uncle Ning's war preparation for Nansha, the Hong Kong stock market was shocked three times a day, basically like a roller coaster, the amplitude of the Hang Seng Index exceeded 8oo points, and the market value of Hongkong Land once fell to 7 billion Hong Kong dollars, what can Aunt Ning see from here?"
Although Tang Wan is not successful in business, she is extremely old and spicy in the way of politics, and after listening to Liang Yuan, Tang Wan stared and thought silently.
After a long time, Tang Wan spoke: "What if Aunt Ning makes a mistake in her judgment?"
"It's good to only acquire Hong Kong Land, the current market value of Hongkong Land is about 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, Yuanjia's account has 600 million US dollars in cash can be called at any time, Deutsche Bank headquarters has promised that as long as Yuanjia uses the shares of Shangri-La Electric in North America and Europe as collateral, it can get 600 million US dollars in medium and long-term loans at any time. ”
"At present, Uncle Xiao is negotiating with Deutsche Bank Hong Kong Branch, intending to persuade Deutsche Hong Kong Branch to allow us to acquire Hongkong Land by way of bond acquisition. ”
Listening to Liang Yuan's words, Tang Wan couldn't help but have mixed feelings, the young man in front of him was seen growing up with his own eyes, but what he never expected was that it only took three years for Liang Yuan to achieve such a scale, and the ability to mobilize funds of 1.2 billion US dollars was converted into Hong Kong dollars according to Hong Kong's linked exchange rate system, which is 9.36 billion Hong Kong dollars.
The consortium that can come up with so much cash in a short period of time from Hong Kong Island should only be a handful, and the acquisition war against Hongkong Land started by Chinese businessmen a year ago, if Liang Yuan participates at this time, even if it is hard-hitting, Hongkong Land can be snatched from the hands of Jardine Matheson.
"What do you mean by the bond acquisition method that Xiaoyuan is talking about?" asked Tang Wan.
"To put it simply, Deutsche Bank allows us to take a loan from Deutsche Bank that is equal to or two-thirds of the market value of Hongkong Land, taking as collateral an equity interest in Hongkong Land, which is not yet ours. Liang Yuan's words were extremely tongue-twisting.
Tang Wan thought for a while before she figured out what Liang Yuan meant was to use the equity of the land that was not her own as a mortgage, and then use the cash from the mortgage to acquire the target company, which was equivalent to getting on the bus first and then making up the ticket.
"What good is this for Deutsche Bank?" Tang Wan asked suspiciously.
"Aunt Ning, Hong Kong has always been the territory of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, whether British or Chinese, almost all the large corporate consortia on Hong Kong Island have close financial exchanges with HSBC, even if other banks want to enter Hong Kong to do business, how can banks survive and make profits without enterprises to lend?"
"For excellent enterprises with outstanding profitability, banks are eager to lend as much as possible, and the reputation of Yuanjia's operating ability and profitability in the eyes of Deutsche Bank is still first-class, once Deutsche Bank and we form a close partnership, then Yuanjia's expansion in Hong Kong is equivalent to Deutsche Bank's expansion in Hong Kong." ”
"In extreme terms, if we can afford to buy the whole of Hong Kong and keep it profitable, while maintaining a close financial relationship with Deutsche Bank, then Deutsche Bank will be able to kick HSBC out of Hong Kong without blood. Liang Yuan said with a smile.
Tang Wan listened to Liang Yuan say a lot, rubbed her forehead with her fingers and said, "I really can't imagine where Xiaoyuan learned these things, and Aunt Ning can't think of how business can still operate like this." ”
"Hearing Xiaoyuan say that the prospects are so good, did Deutsche Bank agree?" Tang Wan asked.
"Because Hongkong Land's responsibility rate has exceeded 70%, Deutsche Bank's Hong Kong branch has only agreed to give us a loan at half of Hongkong Land's current market value, and my uncle has been bargaining with them these days. ”
"Xiaoyuan has considered taking a loan from a domestic bank?" asked Tang Wan.
Liang Yuan shook his head and asked with a smile: "Aunt Ning, Jia Xiaosheng has just signed a seven-year contract with Jardine on behalf of the country, even if I want to take out a loan, can the country save face?"
