1423 [Company Doctor Willis]

Liang Botao smiled and nodded, and also agreed with this proposal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Inviting Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang, Zheng Yutong, Guo Desheng, and Li Zhaoji to join the shares is equivalent to tying the top five Chinese tycoons in Hong Kong to their chariots. In the future, there will be a lot less fetters and a lot more convenience in doing business.

You must know that these five richest people are not only rich, but also have great influence in the business, politics, and media circles. With their blessings, Peregrine's development will definitely be rapid and fast.

Moreover, these five billionaires have a net worth of more than 10 billion, and their investments are all over the world. Peregrine can make a lot of money just by doing their business.

Not to mention how strong the demonstration effect of the five richest people is that investors in Hong Kong will trust and choose Peregrine and ask it to invest on their behalf. In this way, Peregrine is really going to become the best investment bank in Hong Kong and even East Asia.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Xia~" When Li Jiacheng and the others heard this, they all smiled and nodded. Yicheng shares, for them is also good.

"You're welcome. Summer smiled humbly.

With only one percent of the shares, he added five powerful allies to himself, and this deal was too worthwhile.

Although Xia has now become the richest man in Hong Kong, he has been criticized and controversial because the process of making a fortune is too rough, and I don't know how many people he has offended.

And his rise was so fast that his roots were too shallow. Therefore, his current situation is like a castle piled up on the beach, looking majestic and domineering, but a wave may destroy it completely. Therefore, it is imminent to be on the safe side, to find yourself a few allies, to strengthen your foundation, and to consolidate your power.

In the summer, he discussed the future economic trend of Hong Kong with Li Ka-shing and others, and after the chat, the party was almost over.

Although the summer did not achieve the goal of winning over the top management of the Lai Sun Group, it did attract the five richest people to be their partners, and it can be said that this result is even better.

"Mr. Xia, I have already made an appointment for you, tomorrow at noon at Mandarin Steakhouse, you and Mr. Willis will meet. When the party was about to disperse, Liang Botao secretly said to Xia again.

Summer nodded.

……

At noon the next day, Mandarin Steakhouse.

In the summer, I met the famous company doctor Willis.

Willis, an Australian national, was Chairman of the Board of Hutchison Whampoa in '77. But during his administration, Hutchison Whampoa was still in trouble, and showed no signs of turning a profit. Therefore, Shen Bi, the head of HSBC, who is also a major shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, proposed that Lee Ka-shing take over Hutchison.

At that time, the market value of Cheung Kong was only HK$700 million, while the market value of Hutchison Whampoa was HK$6.2 billion. Changshi wants to swallow and yellow, it is undoubtedly impossible for a mayfly to shake the tree.

But because of Shen Bi's matchmaking, this originally impossible thing became true. HSBC sold its shares of Hutchison to Mr. Lee at half price, and allowed him to pay within two years.

This is equivalent to saying that Li Jiacheng did not need to pay a penny, he got the shares of Hutchison and became its helmsman. That's higher than the rank of the white wolf with empty gloves.

At that time, Willis was very dissatisfied with this deal, declaring that "Li Jiacheng is completely blessed by Shen Bi, Shen Bi's move is really incomprehensible, Li Jiacheng can manage Chinese-funded enterprises well, but he may not be able to manage British-funded enterprises well." ”

But Hutchison Whampoa's subsequent performance was to slap him in the face.

Under the leadership of Lee Ka-shing, Hutchison Whampoa turned a profit of more than HK$300 million in the first year ('79), and more than HK$3 billion in the tenth year ('89). Net profit has increased tenfold in ten years, shareholders are smiling, and the media has praised the acquisition as "Shen Bi's insightful eye, Li Chaoren's deep expectations." ”

However, although Willis is not good at management, he is very good at restructuring and acquiring companies. Later, he founded Asia Securities Company, which was a full-time company for mergers and acquisitions, and was praised as a "company doctor".

The so-called wrong name, there is no wrong nickname. Wellis can be called a "company doctor", of course, he has two brushes. This has already been written in the previous article, so I will not repeat it.

Therefore, when he was looking for talents in the company's restructuring in the summer, Liang Botao recommended him as soon as possible.

……

"Hello, Mr. Willis, I've admired my name for a long time. Summer said with a smile.

"Mr. Xia, I have admired you for a long time. Willis said with a smile. Although he is a gringo, he has lived and worked in Hong Kong for nearly 30 years and speaks Cantonese quite fluently.

"Bo Tao should tell you everything I think, I wonder if you would like to help me?" said Summer with a smile.

"Mr. Xia, my help is not cheap. Willis smiled slightly.

"Well, but I don't know how much you want?" asked Natsu with a nod.

"I want one percent of my entire assets. Willis said with a finger.

Summer was stunned for a moment, blinked, and then smiled.

This time, he put Willis in charge of the restructuring of 38 listed companies, involving assets of more than HK$70 billion. One percent, that's 700 million Hong Kong dollars. Willis's appetite is not small.

"One percent?!, Mr. Willis, you're not cheap!" sighed Summer.

"I know, but I'm worth the price. Willis smiled, "And Mr. Xia, with my help, you can obtain tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in assets." is only a few hundred million, compared to the income, it is simply a drop in the bucket. ”

"Makes sense, okay, I promise you. Summer nodded, "But I won't pay until I see the effect." ”

"Don't worry, I'll get you to see the results soon. Willis smiled and nodded, "Before that, I would like to see all the information of the thirty-eight listed companies." ”

"Good. "Summer echoes happily.

Seeing that he didn't brag nonsense, saying that he could do it in a few days, but proposed to read the information first, and his confidence in him in the summer couldn't help but grow a lot.

"Having said that, Mr. Xia, I really admire your domineering. Thirty-eight listed companies, you really dare to do it!" Willis then laughed.

He used to help people with acquisitions, all of which were done by one company at a time. Like Summer, there are 38 listed companies as soon as he makes a move, which really scares him. It's so inspiring!

"Thanks for the compliment. But it's precisely because I bought too much at once that I have some indigestion now. Summer laughed.

Although the 38 listed companies were all bought cheaply, they also left only 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash in the summer. He will also acquire Columbia Pictures in the future, and he will have to repay the 20 billion loan from the Bank of China, which is not enough. Therefore, he must complete the asset restructuring as soon as possible to alleviate his economic crisis.

"Mr. Xia, that's why you need me. Willis smiled, "Don't worry, I will help you digest and absorb these companies, so that they will all become your private property, and you will never be afraid of being snatched back by others." ”

"Then I thank you in advance. Summer laughed.

……

A few days later, Peregrine Investment Bank, which was established by seven wealthy people, including Xia, Liang Botao, Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang, Li Zhaoji, Zheng Yutong and Guo Desheng, was established in a low-key manner.

The capital of the investment bank is 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, of which Xia Xia and Liang Botao contributed 500 million Hong Kong dollars each, while the other five billionaires contributed 200 million Hong Kong dollars each.

Peregrine was not established with much fanfare, because after its establishment, it began to acquire valuable stocks on the Hong Kong stock market. If it is hyped up and made known to everyone, won't everyone know that they are sucking the blood of the Hong Kong stock market, then they will not be hated to death!

You must know that although the Hong Kong stock market crash has passed, the impact is still ongoing. After a brief recovery, the Hang Seng Index began to decline all the way, although the magnitude is not large, but it has not yet rebounded, which also makes investors at a loss and pessimistic.

In order to boost the Hong Kong stock market and restore the confidence of investors, the Hong Kong government announced the establishment of the "Securities Industry Review Committee" to conduct a comprehensive review and rectification of Hong Kong's securities industry.

Li Fuzhao, who made the decision to suspend the market for four days during the stock market crash and abused reporters at the press conference, which caused strong public dissatisfaction, was also thrown out as a scapegoat by the Hong Kong government and was subjected to strict scrutiny, and was destined to bear the blame for the stock market crash.

At times like these, if you want to make money from the stock market, it's best to keep a low profile. Otherwise, once you are targeted by the committee, you will have to shed your skin if you don't die.
