1408 [Revenge]

"Mr. Xia, now that we have acquired Lai Sun Group, we have also acquired 25% of UOB's shares, and we can now start the acquisition of UOB. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Liang Botao said to Xia with a smile.

Summer nodded vigorously, his eyes lit up, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"Okay, let's buy it, this time I'm going to let the Li family finish it completely!" he said through gritted teeth.

Leong nodded with a smile and then launched the acquisition of UOB.

The grievances between the summer and the Li family don't need to be repeated, in short, the Li family is a thorn in his heart, he has always wanted to get rid of it, but unfortunately it has not been successful.

Last year, he came close to achieving that dream. He indirectly suppressed UOB by bringing down the Wen family, the in-laws of the Li family, causing it to suffer heavy losses and face a run on the bank.

Seeing that UOB was about to fall into collapse and was about to take revenge, it was a pity that the Lam family of Lai Sun Group lent a helping hand and supported UOB with HK$1 billion in cash, helping it to relieve the run on the crisis and save UOB from the catastrophe.

In the summer, his dream for many years was stirred up by the Lin family, which made him hate the Lin family and hate. This is one of the reasons why he acquired Lai Sun Group this time.

The second reason is to take revenge on Lin Jianyue in his previous life for his chaotic abandonment of Xiaoxian. If it weren't for this Wang Badan, why would Xiao Xian have been ruined, forced to quit the film industry during the popular period, and went to Canada alone to live in seclusion and die alone?!

After the attempt to uproot the Li family last year, Xia did not give up, he wanted to move the Li family many times, but he never found the opportunity. The reason is that the shares of UOB are tightly controlled by the Li family and the Lin family.

The Lee family owns 40% of UOB. Because the Lin family had borrowed money before, they later converted their debts into equity and obtained 25 percent of the shares of UOB. Together, the two have a 65 percent stake and can keep UOB firmly in check, preventing the summer from sniping at the takeover.

In order to avoid the failure of the acquisition and startling the snake, he has not taken action in the summer, but his mind to deal with the Li family has not been extinguished. Now that Lai Sun Group has been taken, its 25 percent stake in Huahua Bank is now in the hands of the summer. As long as it acquires another 25 per cent of the shares, UOB will no longer be surnamed Xia instead of Li.

Revenge is expected, and of course the summer mood is very excited, but then there are some apprehensions, I don't know if I can succeed this time.

"God forbid!" he prayed quietly with his hands folded.

Liang Botao couldn't help but be stunned when he saw him like this. When he acquired Hang Lung Properties, Amoy Land, Nan Fung Group and other companies with assets of more than HK$6 billion and profits of more than $3 billion, he did not pray in the summer.

But now, when it came to buying UOB, a small company with assets of less than HK$800 million, the summer was praying to heaven. Clearly, UOB is much more important to him than those companies.

"This is an obsession!" Liang Botao couldn't help but sigh, "The Li family provoked Mr. Xia, they really deserve to die!"

And seeing that Xia was so serious, he didn't dare to slack off, and carefully made acquisitions, no longer as extensive as before. Under his meticulous operation, the shares of UOB were absorbed by him little by little.

In the summer, when I saw the United Overseas Bank in my hands growing on the screen, I couldn't help but be happy and nervous at the same time.

……

After a long two hours, when he saw that the stock in his hand had reached 295 million shares, Xia and Liang Botao cheered together.

"Yay, Made, this time you have finally avenged your revenge!" shouted Summer happily.

"Congratulations to Mr. Xia, congratulations on your revenge!" Liang Botao also said with a smile.

"Thank you, Botao. Summer smiled and nodded, and then encouraged, "I can succeed this time, and thanks to your help, I will not treat you badly." ”

"Mr. Xia, don't say that, you can help me more. Liang Botao said with a smile, he can go from a small investment consultant to have his own investment company in less than three years, and he can't do without the weight of summer.

"Don't be modest, I will keep your merits firmly in mind, and after this stock market crash, I will definitely reward you for your merits. Summer laughed.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia. Ah, by the way, I care about the shares of UOB, and I don't know what happened to other companies. Liang Botao said suddenly.

At the same time as acquiring UOB, Leong was also buying other companies, but he didn't put much effort into it.

Now looking at his gains, he immediately clapped his hands happily, "Mr. Xia, Bank of East Asia, Sino Land, and Park Lane Hotel Group have also been bought by us, and our acquisition goals have been achieved." ”

"Great. When Summer heard this, she clapped her hands and laughed.

The Bank of East Asia was established as a joint venture between Feng Pingshan, Kan Dongpu and Li Guanchun, whose son Li Fuzhao is the chairman of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, as mentioned above.

The Bank of East Asia was founded in 1919, although there were already foreign banks such as HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, and Citibank in Hong Kong at that time, they had always been high above the top and unwilling to deal with Chinese businessmen, which made it difficult for Chinese businessmen to borrow money, so they had to resort to Chinese banks.

Over the years, BEA has become a major global bank with outlets in Hong Kong, the United States, Canada, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia.

And its main customers are still Chinese all over the world. "Serving the Chinese" is also the biggest feature of BEA.

The reason why Summer bought the Bank of East Asia was not only profitable, but also because of the money in the bank. Although I opened a bank at home, I couldn't just take out the money to spend it, but it was always less difficult to get a loan.

He has a lot of investment plans in the future, and he may not be able to meet the requirements by relying solely on rights issues to raise funds and issue new shares. So having a bank is imperative.

……

Sino Land is the family property of Singaporean businessman Wong Teng Fong. The Wong family is one of the five major Chinese families in Singapore and owns the largest private real estate company in Singapore, the Far East Organization.

Ng Teng Fong went to Singapore in the 30s and set up the Far East Organization in the 50s to get involved in the real estate industry. Because he saw the business opportunities at the beginning, he bought many plots of land in Orchard Road, Singapore very early, so he was called the king of Orchard. Later, because Singapore vigorously developed tourism, Wong Teng Fong earned his first pot of gold by building a hotel on Orchard Road.

In the 70s, Ng Teng Fong came to Hong Kong to develop his career and founded Sino Land here. Because of his abundant funds and active pioneering spirit, although he is an outsider, he is not weaker than Hong Kong's local real estate developers in terms of development.

In '82, an article pointed out that "in the eastern part of Tsim Sha Tsui, there are 18 commercial buildings, of which 10 have the equity of Xinhe, and some are even wholly-owned. This asset alone was worth HK$4 billion at the time. ”

Before the crash, Sino Land's market capitalisation was HK$6.3 billion, but after the crash, Sino Land's market capitalisation fell to HK$3.5 billion. In the summer, it only cost 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars to get Sino Land into its hands, making a profit of 3.8 billion Hong Kong dollars.

……

Park Lane Hotel Group was founded by Mr. Tan Chak Fu.

He is a native of Taishan, eastern Guangdong, and is a fellow villager of Mr. Chan Tsang Hei of Hang Lung Properties.

In the early years, the Chen family was engaged in the operation of "Jinshanzhuang". The so-called Golden Villa is the name of a kind of warehouse in the old days. In the middle of the 19th century, gold mines were discovered in the United States, Australia and other places, so Chinese were recruited to open mines, and a large-scale Chinatown was gradually formed.

Although these Chinese have settled overseas, they are still connected to their hometown, and their eating habits are still difficult to change. Therefore, some merchants found business opportunities and started trading to cater to the needs of overseas Chinese for their homeland. Because these firms specialize in the business of overseas Chinese gold diggers, they are called "Golden Villas".

In addition to dealing in goods, one of the most important businesses of Kanzanso is to undertake foreign exchange business. The money earned by Chinese workers overseas is exchanged and transferred to their relatives in China.

In addition, they also work as a post office, which can help relatives at home and abroad deliver letters and messages. He also works part-time as a travel agency, and the Chinese go overseas to develop, without relatives, and Jinshanzhuang is responsible for reception, helping to find relatives and finding jobs.

Because it caters to the needs of overseas Chinese, it has developed very rapidly, and in the twenties of the last century, there were more than 280 Golden Villas in Hong Kong.

Chen Zefu inherited his father's business in his early days, ran Jinshanzhuang, and then set foot in the textile industry and earned his first pot of gold. In the 60s, with the development of Hong Kong, Chan Zek Fu found that the hotel industry was profitable, so he began to enter the hotel industry in a big way.

The state-guest hotel he invested in was once the most luxurious hotel in Hong Kong, and even US President Richard Nixon stayed here when he passed through Hong Kong, which also made Chen Zefu famous in one fell swoop.

Today, Park Lane Hotel Group has 13 hotels, 5 commercial buildings, and is also involved in tourism.

Before the crash, the market value was HK$7 billion, and after the crash, the market value fell to HK$4 billion. The summer acquisition cost only 2.6 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the profit was as high as 4.4 billion Hong Kong dollars.

……

"Mr. Xia, we still have 15.4 billion Hong Kong dollars in our hands. Liang Botao smiled again, "What else do you want to buy?"

In the summer, it acquired 13 listed companies, using a total of HK$21.6 billion, with an average cost of HK$1.7 billion per company.

"Leave 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in liquidity, and leave 5.4 billion Hong Kong dollars left, just buy it. Summer waved her hand and smiled.

After buying these thirteen listed companies, he was already satisfied, and the rest was not forced.

Liang Botao smiled and nodded.
