Chapter 1022 The Grand Hotel Acquisition Battle and the Selection of Sister Hong Kong (12,000 per day, please subscribe!~)
When Rong Gongzi held the inaugural ball, Chinese Estates also officially announced the acquisition of the Grand Hotel Group, and Liu Luanxiong's decision made the Xiangjiang stock market surge again.
No one expected that Liu Luanxiong's appetite would grow bigger and bigger, and after sniping at Henderson Land's China Gas, he once again set his sights on the top wealthy Kadoorie family in Xiangjiang, and the Kadoorie family was the fourth of the top ten consortia announced by the "Dynasty Daily" last year!
As a group operated by the Kadoorie family for nearly 80 years, Grand Hotel Group has long been regarded as part of the Kadoorie family, and Liu Luanxiong's behavior this time is nothing more than a tiger's mouth.
However, regardless of whether Liu Luanxiong can succeed or not, after China Entertainment and Lai Sun Group announced at the same time that they would appoint Kyushu Bank Group as the financial adviser to acquire 20 million shares and 110 million shares of Grand Hotel from the Leung Zhonghao family, respectively.
Hong Kong's stock market immediately responded, on the day that China Entertainment and Lai Sun Group announced the purchase of Grand Hotel shares, the closing price of Grand Hotel Group was HK$50 per share, and after the news was announced, the stock price immediately soared, reaching a peak of HK$80.5 per share, indicating that someone is buying up Grand Hotel Group shares in the market.
A month later, China Entertainment announced that its stake in Grand Hotel had increased to 25.9%, holding a total of 25.5 million shares, which means that in just one month, China Entertainment has added more than 5 million shares to the market.
At this time, financial experts commented that Liu Luanxiong purchased the shares of the Grand Hotel Group through China Entertainment for no more than two purposes: to join the board of directors of the Grand Hotel Group as the largest shareholder, control the decision-making power, and in the future, dismantle and rebuild the Peninsula Hotel, which the Kadoorie family regards as a treasure pearl, or sell the goodwill of the Peninsula Hotel to rebuild the land into a commercial building, and make a profit, and implement 'green blackmail' when he retreats, forcing the Kadoorie family to buy back the shares of the Grand Hotel Group at a high price and obtain huge profits from it, the so-called 'green blackmail'.
This method is the usual method used by American corporate snipers in the 80s of the 20th century, this method is to use their own assets to borrow money to acquire shares of a company, when the shares are acquired to a certain amount, they threaten the management of the acquired company, and the management of the acquired company in order to avoid new people from entering the ownership, only to buy back the shares of the company held by the sniper at a high price.
However, in public, Liu Luanxiong denied the speculation of financial experts, saying that when buying the shares of the hotel group, he was optimistic about the company's long-term prospects, and that the long-term investment would not be sold in the short term, and said that two people would be sent to the board of directors of the hotel, and Lai Sun Group also said that it would send people to the board of directors.
At this time, news came out of the market again that Liu Luanxiong and Cao Guangyu, director of Lai Sun Group, met with Michael Kadoorie and asked to appoint a representative to the board of directors, and Michael knew Liu Luanxiong's personality and knew that his style was far from Leung Zhonghao's conservative style, so he refused their request on the grounds that he did not know the true intentions of the two groups.
This caused Liu Luanxiong and Lai Sun Group to be extremely dissatisfied, and the market believes that a battle for the Grand Hotel Group is about to break out!
May 4th!
The hotel group held an annual general meeting, Michael Kadoorie resigned according to the convention, must re-elect the directors, Liu Luanxiong drove the royal enlistment, and Lai Sun Group director Lin Jianyue both attended the meeting, at the meeting, Liu Luanxiong launched a raid, voted against, Michael Kadoorie was re-elected as chairman of the hotel group, and received the support of the Lai Sun Group, the atmosphere was very tense, the result was that Michael Kadoorie re-election votes as high as 42.66 million shares, equivalent to 43.2% of the issued shares, against 40.53 million shares, equivalent to 41% With a difference of two percentage points, Liu Luanxiong could not overturn Michael Kadoorie's resolution to be re-elected as a director, and finally Michael was re-elected as chairman of the board of directors, while Liu Luanxiong and Lai Sun Group were excluded from the board of directors!
The first battle between Liu Luanxiong and the Kadoorie family ended in Liu Luanxiong's defeat.
A few days after the general meeting of shareholders of the Grand Hotel Group, the board of directors of the Grand Hotel suddenly announced that there was an error in the counting of votes, repeating the 1.3 million shares in support of the Kadoorie family, but after the correction, the votes in favor of the Kadoorie family were 41.3 million shares, that is, a narrow margin of 770,000 shares.
Although the Kadoorie family won the first battle, the form was not optimistic, because the vote showed that the Lai Sun Group and Liu Luanxiong were on the same side, and the two controlled more than 30% of the shares, while the Kadoorie family only held 10% of the shares, and the Kadoorie family had to obtain 60% of the votes of the other shareholders to retain control of the Grand Hotel Group, and on the contrary, Liu Luanxiong only needed 11% At this time, it is even rumored in the market that Liu Luanxiong is continuously absorbing the shares of the Grand Hotel Group through Aimeiko and China Entertainment.
Of course, the Kadoorie family also has favorable conditions for themselves, and the Kadoorie family can still be elected chairman with only about 10% of the shares of the Grand Hotel Group, which shows the prestige and weight of the Kadoorie family in the eyes of the majority of the shareholders of the Grand Hotel.
In an interview, Michael Kadoorie said to Liu Luanxiong's challenge to his position as a director of the Grand Hotel Group: "I don't think it's too much to say that they underestimate our strength, my family has a relationship with the Grand Hotel for 80 years!"
In his capacity as chairman of China Entertainment, Liu Luanxiong sent a letter to the shareholders of the Grand Hotel, pointing out that the board of directors controlled by the Kadoorie family had misled the documents issued to shareholders on May 9, stating that China Entertainment already held 25.92% The letter also pointed out that the hotel made a mistake in voting on Monday, and it was not announced until Saturday, and it lacked specific reasons for explanation, which was unfair.
Subsequently, KPMG, the responsible accounting firm, issued a statement stating that the error in counting the ballots was caused by a clerical error. Due to the request of the hotel consultant to analyze the ballot after the shareholders' meeting, it was found that there was a clerical error in the monitoring process, so that 1.3 million of the supporting shares were counted more than once, so they made corrections within two days on Thursday and Friday, and sent them to the board of directors of the hotel group on Friday night, and the relevant parties announced the situation as soon as possible on Saturday!
Everyone knows that this acquisition war has just begun, and there will definitely be a vicious fight in the future.
In order to keep the hotel group, the old Kadoorie personally went out, and Wei Li, as the second largest shareholder of Chinese Real Estate, suddenly contacted the old Kadoorie at this time, and after conspiring for a long time, the two sides were satisfied!
Just when Liu Luanxiong and the Kadoorie family were competing for the hotel group, another grand event in Hong Kong was also being held, that is, the Miss Hong Kong election held by TVB.
Now the election of Miss Xiangjiang is not the election of Miss Xiangjiang in later generations, the annual election of Miss Xiangjiang is a grand event in Xiangjiang, even if Dynasty TV has held similar programs, but in the end it still has not done TVB, which shows how sensational the election of Miss Xiangjiang is!
This year is the same, almost all the people are hotly discussed, everyone is talking about the candidate of Miss Xiangjiang in their minds, among which the big favorites are Yang Baoling, Li Meifeng, Lin Yingxian, Qiu Shuzhen and others.
The quality of this draft is also the highest in Miss Xiangjiang's past, especially Yang Baoling, Li Meifeng, and Qiu Shuzhen, who have countless supporters.
Rong Le is also paying attention to the election of this Miss Xiangjiang, the last Miss Xiangjiang is really not very good, only one Wu Wanfang is eye-catching, but this session is different, Qiu Shuzhen does not need to mention, the goddess in the hearts of countless Hong Kong fans in later generations.
Qiu Shuzhen's action of holding cards in "God of Gamblers 2" is even more regarded as a sexy classic.
But this year's champion Yang Baoling is also beautiful and moving, and later participated in Cheng Long's movie "Flying Dragon Warrior", in which the appearance is also very beautiful, and Yang Baoling also created a world in the business world after retiring from the entertainment industry, one of the founders of Lukfook Jewelry!
Li Meifeng was later known as the electric eye beauty, and the first movie "Courtship Death Squad" she participated in was co-starred with Zhang Manyu and Qiu Shuzhen, and she was a more famous beauty in this era.
Rong Le sat on the sofa, looking at the many beauties on TVB is also pleasing to the eye, and sitting next to him is Zhou Huimin, Zhou Huimin After becoming Rongle's woman, it is naturally impossible to have any difficulties in life, usually she does not live in the villa given to her by Rongle, but more with her mother in the unit she bought for her mother.
At this time, Zhou Huimin has signed a contract with Dynasty Records and officially released the film, she became famous earlier than in another time and space, and now Dynasty Media has created momentum for her, and she is regarded as the jade singer of Xiangjiang!
Zhou Huimin dialed an orange for Rongle, carefully removed the orange shreds, and put it in Rongle's mouth, in fact, when she became a Rongle woman, Zhou Huimin also had some hesitation, she admitted that when Rongle solved all the hardships in her life, she had a good impression of Rongle in her heart, but Rongle's romantic history made her a little nostalgic, not to mention that Rongle was still the man of her good friend Liu Yupu, which always made her feel a little guilty.
However, as time went by, and Liu Yupu would always come over to accompany her, under Liu Yupu's subtlety, she gradually became familiar with her current role.
"Brother Le, who do you like this time Sister Hong Kong?" Zhou Huimin asked as she sent the peeled oranges to Rong Le's mouth again.
Rong Le pulled Zhou Huimin into his arms and said with a smile: "Yang Baoling, Li Meifeng, Qiu Shuzhen are all possible!"
Although he had known the champion of this Hong Kong sister for a long time, Rong Le had no way to tell Zhou Huimin, so he had to tell Zhou Huimin about the three favorites.
Zhou Huimin found a comfortable position in Rong Le's arms, and said with a smile: "These three people are indeed very beautiful, and anyone who chooses them will be dissatisfied!"
When there are several favorites in a competition, it means that there are many dissatisfaction with the results, and Sister Hong Kong is no exception, but there is still a Miss Hong Kong that does not have this possibility, that is, next year's Miss Hong Kong election.
Next year's Sister Hong Kong, the Li goblin who brought disaster to the country and the people, will be born, no matter how many beauties there are in the election of Sister Hong Kong, but it is not enough to see in front of Li Goblin, and next year's session will also be the most suspenseful.
"That's because you didn't participate, if you did, how could there be anything about them!" Rong Le's hand had already begun to become dishonest.
Zhou Huimin's face was slightly red, and she moved her body a little unnaturally, but hearing Rong Le's praise for herself still made her heart sweet.
Looking at Zhou Huimin's slightly red face, Rong Le also slowly lowered his head and gently kissed Zhou Huimin's lips......
Originally, the citizens of Xiangjiang thought that the champion of Miss Hong Kong would be born among Yang Baoling, Li Meifeng, and Qiu Shuzhen, but Huang Ying, who was running for Miss Hong Kong, suddenly broke the news that Qiu Shuzhen's chin had undergone plastic surgery, and it instantly became a big news in Xiangjiang.
Before this, Huang Ying and Qiu Shuzhen were good friends, and Huang Ying's behavior fully explained to everyone what is called plastic sisterhood.
The plastic surgery turmoil instantly pushed Qiu Shuzhen to the forefront, and some newspapers and media also firmly grasped this point and smeared Qiu Shuzhen in various ways.
"Doudou, I really didn't mean to, I just said that your jaw was injured, who knew that it would become your plastic surgery in the mouth of those reporters!" In the Hong Kong sister training room of TVB, Huang Ying explained to Qiu Shuzhen aggrievedly.
"Please don't call me Doudou, Doudou only calls me that way with my friends, I used to be blind before I thought you were my friend!" Qiu Shuzhen looked at Huang Ying with a very ugly face.
Anyone who is stabbed in the back by his good friend will not be calm, Qiu Shuzhen can make such an attitude is already very good.
The rest of the beauties who were training looked at Huang Ying and Qiu Shuzhen silently, for Qiu Shuzhen to break out such a scandal, they naturally wanted to see it, after all, there was one less competitor.
But for Huang Ying's behavior, they are also ready to stay away in the future.
When Huang Ying was still trying to say something, Qiu Shuzhen had already left her side, and being with this kind of person made her feel terrified.
At this time, the teacher who was in charge of training them also walked in, walking with a bewitching step, and the teacher Tony in a fancy dress made people ignore the masculinity he should have.
"Doudou, this thing has happened, I hope it doesn't affect your mentality, and you have to cheer for the future!" After speaking, he didn't forget to hold his fist and make a cheering action.
Qiu Shuzhen looked at Tony and said a little resolutely: "Tony, I'm ready to quit!"
"WHY, BEANIE, DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID, THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE OUTSIDE WHO SUPPORT YOU!" SHOUTED TONY.
"I've already decided!" Qiu Shuzhen said through gritted teeth, she had had enough of the slander against her by the newspapers outside.
At this time, the other beauties in the training room looked at Qiu Shuzhen, and there was obviously a sigh of relief on their faces.
"Doudou, this is not a trivial matter, I hope you can think about it, now that class is about to end, I hope you don't tell those reporters first, can you go home and think about it?"
Looking at Tony's enchanting movements, Qiu Shuzhen didn't want to say anything more, but said that she would consider it.
At this time, Tony also announced the end of class, and many beauties changed their clothes and walked out of TVB one after another.
At this time, the outside of the TVB building was already full of reporters, and after seeing these beauties come out, they all surrounded them, and the target of their key interview was naturally Qiu Shuzhen, who made Qiu Shuzhen break out another big news today.
The rest of the beauties looked at the many reporters around Qiu Shuzhen, and they were a little envious in their hearts, and at the same time hoped that Qiu Shuzhen would be able to speak and quit!
What a lady, an iron man!
Qiu Shuzhen thought that these reporters were here to ask about the bad news, so without waiting for them to speak, she directly announced that she would withdraw from the election of Miss Hong Kong.
Many reporters were stunned, but they didn't expect Qiu Shuzhen to choose to withdraw from the election of Miss Hong Kong.
"Miss Qiu, why did you withdraw from the election of Miss Hong Kong, is it related to Rong Le's support?"
"That's right, Miss Qiu, Rong Le just publicly expressed his support for you, and you announced your withdrawal from Sister Hong Kong, is there any connection between this?"
......
Seeing that the reporters around him threw out the topic of Rongle one after another, Qiu Shuzhen was a little confused, how could Rongle appear? At this time, don't talk about Qiu Shuzhen, even the beauties around don't know what happened! I want to talk about "{?$article_title?} with more like-minded people"{?_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
