Speaking of HK Electric, as of last year, Hongkong Land's financial situation has deteriorated more and more, although Hongkong Land's debt has decreased by 800 million Hong Kong dollars to 14.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, but it is still under pressure Jardine Matheson breathless, market analysis, Hongkong Land wants to ease its debt is nothing more than two ways, one is for shareholders to raise funds, and the other is to sell assets.

The first method was denied by Hongkong Land's executive director Davis, on the grounds that the current share price of Hongkong Land is only 40% of its net asset value, and if the rights issue is unfair to the original shareholders, as for the sale of assets, the real estate world in Hong Kong is sluggish, and it is difficult to buy a reasonable price.

Industry insiders estimate that if Hongkong Land does not sell its stake in HK Electric as soon as possible, Hongkong Land's total liabilities will reach HK$20 billion by 1986, and there may be a crisis of too much debt and poor capital turnover.

Li Chaoren, who has been cooperating with HK Electric for a long time and has always been obsessed with HK Electric, naturally thinks that the time has come for him to acquire HK Electric.

In fact, not only Li Chaoren is interested in HK Electric, but Rong Le also has a lot of interest in HK Electric, but Rong Le has limited cash in his hand at this time, and some important assets have been mortgaged, so he proposed to pay in installments.

Rong Le originally didn't understand this.

At the same time, Li Chaoren's negotiations with Simon Keswick were also opened, in order to raise the price of HK Electric, Rongle's offer was taken out by Simon Keswick, but it was not proposed that Rongle would pay in installments.

This made Li Chaoren naturally very surprised, Li Chaoren did not know the specific amount of Rong Le's investment in Dongying, and always thought that Rong Le had a large amount of cash flow in his hands at this time.

In Li Chaoren's view, at this time, Heung Kong was able to come up with billions of Hong Kong dollars and was willing to buy all the shares of Hongkong Electric Group, except for himself, only Rongle was left.

At the same time, the news of Rong Le's decision to list Dynasty Hotel Group has been released by Li Fuzhao at this time, and Li Chaoren is naturally worried that Rong Le's appearance will bring uncertainties to the negotiations.

"Li Sheng, I do have some interest in HK Electric, and I have also formally proposed the idea of acquisition to Hongkong Land, Hongkong Land has not replied to us positively before, I thought they were considering, but I didn't expect them to be planning to bid between you and me!"

In Wing Lok's office, Li Chaoren personally visited in order to consult the news between Wing Lok and Hongkong Land about the Hong Kong Electric. This shows how much Li Chaoren values HK Electric, because since Rong Le is also interested in HK Electric, they can already be called enemies between them, if Rong Le is really bound to HK Electric, then he will definitely take care of Li Chaoren.

"I want to know how interested Rong Sheng is in acquiring HK Electric Group?" Li Chaoren asked straight to the point, if Rong Le was really interested in HK Electric, Li Chaoren did not have much confidence that he would be able to compete for Rong Le.

"Then how much interest does Li Chaoren have in HK Electric?" Rong Le asked rhetorically, the acquisition of HK Electric is dispensable for Rong Le, but it is impossible for him to directly tell Li Chaoren his own thoughts, because he has some other ideas.

At the same time, Rong Le is not worried that Hongkong Land will tell Li Chaoren about his payment method, after all, if that is the case, Li Chaoren is such a smart person can guess Rong Le's attitude towards HK Electric. Hongkong Land has no way to borrow Hongkong Land to let Li Chaoren and Rongle bid against each other.

Li Chaoren smiled bitterly: "Rongsheng, don't forget, you are the second largest shareholder of Cheung Kong, our Cheung Kong acquisition of HK Electric, isn't it equivalent to Rongsheng you acquired HK Electric?"

"I can't say that, although I am a shareholder of Cheung Kong, but in the final analysis, Cheung Kong is still Li Sheng's, and HK Electric Group is also a very important strategic investment for me!" Rong Le said in a good time.

Hongkong wants to let itself and Li Chaoren bid against each other, and they benefit from the fisherman, although Rong Le doesn't want to be the gun in Hongkong Land's hand, but it is impossible to give Li Superman without any benefits.

Li Chaoren has been on the battlefield for a long time and is a veteran, and in Rong Le's attitude, it can be seen that Rong Le is not so eager for HK Electric, but more because he wants to get some benefits in his own hands.

"Rongsheng, we have cooperated many times, and we have always been very tacit, why don't we talk about your conditions?" Li Chaoren knew that if he didn't have some blood this time, he might not be able to get benefits from Rongle, but he didn't expect that his plan for many years would still suffer from Rongle after all.

Rong Le smiled: "Actually, in my opinion, whether Li Sheng you get HK Electric, or I get HK Electric, we should not be the guns in Hongkong Land's hands to raise the price of HK Electric." ”

"This is natural, and I think so too, so I deliberately found Rongsheng today to discuss a proper solution. Li Chaoren saw that Rong Le was already a little loose, and hurriedly agreed with Rong Le's point of view.

"I don't know what Li Sheng thinks about the banking industry in Xiangjiang?" Rong Le suddenly changed the subject.

Li Chaoren looked at Rong Le with a serious expression, "Rong Sheng wants to get involved in the banking industry?"

Sure enough, he is the richest man in Xiangjiang for decades, and Li Chaoren, who controls most of Xiangjiang, guessed Rongle's thoughts just from Rong Le's words.

Yes, getting involved in the banking industry in Hong Kong is the most important plan of Rongle this year, which is the idea that Rongle had when preparing for the Han and Tang Meetings.

"Since Li Sheng has already guessed, I have nothing to hide, and I do have plans to get involved in the financial industry in Hong Kong. Rong Le smiled.

However, Rong Le did not tell Li Chaoren all the plans at this time, in his plan, Rong Le was ready to bring in all the members of the Han and Tang Associations, of course, this also involved several people who already had banking business in Xiangjiang, and it would need to be discussed in detail at that time.

However, even so, when the bank is established, it will become one of the largest Chinese-funded banks in Hong Kong, and because of the joining of the Chinese-funded consortium, the established bank will inevitably have a certain impact on HSBC.

At the same time, there are many people in the Han and Tang Dynasty who have a large or small business with HSBC, and Rong Le can only slowly figure it out, one by one, and among them, Li Chaoren, the charter king and HSBC's business is the closest, and they are the two most difficult bones.

"Rong Sheng's courage is really admirable!" Li Chaoren sighed, although Li Chaoren didn't know all of Rong Le's plans, he couldn't have thought that Rong Le would actually think of competing with HSBC.

But Rong Le's identity is here after all, if he really gets involved in the banking industry, then it will definitely not be small, and it is impossible to be satisfied with those small family banks in Xiangjiang, so that the difficulties that Rong Le will face will also increase exponentially.

And now that Rong Le has talked to himself about the idea of getting involved in the banking industry, he must be interested in HK Electric's future business!

"Li Shengbai praised, since this is the point, then I will get straight to the point, if you want me to withdraw from the acquisition of HK Electric Group, there is no problem, but in the future, the business of HK Electric and international cities in Xiangjiang will be handed over to me!" Rong Le said with a smile.

"Rongsheng, you also know that the relationship between our Changshi and HSBC is all handed over to Rongsheng's bank, it is impossible, I can only promise you 30% of the business!"

HSBC, as Li Chaoren's strongest backing, it is impossible for him to hand over all the business to Rongle. Being able to come up with 30% is already a very good data!

"30% is not enough!" Rong Le shook his head and continued: "At least 50%, otherwise I will have to buy HK Electric myself!"

"40%, Rongsheng, this is already the limit, Cheung Kong's cooperative bank is not only HSBC, I also have to explain to other banks, if you don't agree, we can only see the real chapter under our hands!" Li Chaoren smiled bitterly, if he could, he really didn't want to be an enemy of Rongle.

Rong Le pondered for a moment and said, "Okay!"

Later, Li Chaoren talked about some conditions, and Rong Le also saw Li Chaoren's negotiation skills, and he didn't want to suffer at all.

Li Chaoren shook hands with Rong Le and said, "Happy cooperation!"

Rong Le smiled: "Happy cooperation!"

The relationship between Li Chaoren and HSBC cannot be overcome overnight, but at least it is a good start, and Rong Le is very satisfied with this achievement!

Then Rong Le announced that he had withdrawn from the plan to compete for Hong Kong Electric, and when Simon Keswick heard the news, he was furious, Rong Le had become his nightmare, and every time he was about to succeed, Rong Le would come out to make trouble, and his hatred for Rong Le had gone deep into the bone marrow.

Li Chaoren, who has no competitors, is more stable in the negotiation with Hongkong Land, and is now interested in HK Electric in Xiangjiang, and is the only one who can come up with such a large amount of money, and Hongkong Land has no choice.

The two sides decided to reach an agreement based on the principle of Li Chaoren's acquisition of Hong Kong half a year ago, but due to the recovery of the Hong Kong stock market and the rise of HK Electric's share price, the transaction was traded at a price 13% lower than the market price, and the final dividend of HK Electric should be included.

Following.

After consulting his legal advisers on whether the acquisition of HK Electric would necessitate a full takeover of the International City, Mr Lee, accompanied by Hutchison Chief Executive Officer Ma Shimin, went to the Jardine Matheson headquarters and signed the acquisition agreement by 11am.

On January 22, at 12:15 p.m., the trading of three stocks of Hutchison, Hongkong Land and HK Electric was suspended at the same time on four stock exchanges. In the evening, Hutchison Chairman Li Chaoren held a press conference with great joy to announce Hutchison's acquisition of HK Electric's equity from Land.

Li Chaoren said that Hutchison will acquire about 454 million shares of HK Electric from Hongkong Land at a price of HK$6.4 per share, accounting for about 34.6% of the issued shares of HK Electric, involving an amount of HK$2.905 billion, and the entire acquisition will be completed on February 23, 1985.

Later, when Rongle set up a bank, Li Chaoren also had an excuse for HSBC, for which Rongle paid a loan of 500 million Hong Kong dollars, almost half of Rongle's liquidity in Xiangjiang.

Hutchison's acquisition of HK Electric shares also became the most sensational event in Hong Kong before the Spring Festival in 1985!

Time flies, and the New Year of 1985 arrives as scheduled!

This year, the Rong manor has become more and more lively, there are many children, and there are many old people, Rong Ren and Mi Xue are back in the United States, Wu Weihao, and the monkey are also rushing back in Dongying.

Ah Mi's sister and brother also rushed back, and almost no one except Rong Le knew that Ah Mi was in the Guo family now.

On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Rong Manor was full of people, so lively.

However, there are still some people who are unhappy, such as Rong Zhiwei's wife, who is unhappy because Rong Lei did not come back, but chose to spend the Spring Festival in China.

"Tell me, you too, Lei Lei didn't have a boyfriend before, you talked about her every day, and now Lei Lei finally has a boyfriend, and you're unhappy again!" Rong Ma laughed beside her.

"I asked her to find a boyfriend, and I didn't let her find a boyfriend in the mainland, she was still a soldier, and now it's okay, she won't even come back for the New Year! Brother and sister, you don't know, that dead girl called me some time ago, and she actually wanted to give up Xiangjiang's passport and take a domestic passport instead, which is just angry to me. Zhang Baihui said indignantly.

After getting along for a long time, Rong Lei finally confirmed the relationship with the other party, and because of the man's identity, Rong Lei had no choice but to get a domestic passport.

"As long as the other party treats our family Lei Lei well, that's fine, now that our family's conditions have come up, there is actually no big problem with getting the passport there!" Rong Ma comforted.

"Alas, that stinky girl, I can't control it, Ah Le, you are familiar with the situation in China, can you tell me how the other party is doing?" Zhang Baihui still asked uneasily.

"I've inquired with someone, the other party's identity is not simple, he is a promising young officer, Lei Lei will have no problem with the other party!" Rong Le said with a smile.

The 26-year-old lieutenant colonel's future in the army is absolutely limitless!

"Alas, I can't control it anyway, Ah Le, Lei Lei is your sister, you have to take good care of her, you can't let her be wronged over there. Although Zhang Baihui didn't know about the situation of the domestic army, she now knew that she couldn't control Rong Lei, so she had to ask Rong Le to take care of her.

"Don't worry, Lei Lei's character, don't you know yet? only she bullies people, how can there be the possibility of others bullying her!" Rong Le said with a smile.

Now although Rong Lei presides over several charitable funds, she is also very generous and decent in front of outsiders, but she is still a rude little princess in her bones, Rong Le has also inquired about the other party, and knows that the other party is a humble and polite, elegant faction in the army, the two get along, obviously the other party has to take care of it more!

"I hope so!" Zhang Baihui said with a sad face.

The other one has some worries, naturally Rong Zhihu's wife, his nephew was sent to prison, and the old mother came to the house to make trouble every three days, which made them tired of it, and now they choose to live in Haojiang, out of sight and out of mind.
