Chapter 859 [ The Key to the Battle of Wheelock ]
According to Mo Xuan's knowledge.
At that time, the seventy-year-old Khoo Teck Puat did not choose to act rashly, he was prepared to negotiate terms with John Madden, or Pony, through an intermediary, to buy 14% of Wheelock owned by the Madden family.
For a long time, Wheelock stock has been in a state of active market activity, which is the kind of "hibernation stock".
At the beginning, Wheelock's share price was at HK$4.1, and then suddenly Wheelock's share price moved to HK$4.5 like a long snake in its mouth, and at the same time, there were rumors that Lee would swallow Wheelock in one fell swoop after buying HK Electric.
After the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa and Xiangjiang Electric Light, Li Jiacheng has occupied a very high position in the hearts of ordinary people.
As a result, in the next two days, Wheelock's stock price rose in response, and Li Jia's effect should have begun to rise, rising to HK$4.9, and then rising to HK$5.4 two days later, and then rising all the way, and the market legend of Wheelock's acquisition war is about to start.
It's true that the equity has changed hands, but I haven't guessed it on Jiang Longtou.
Finally, after the suspension of trading in Wheelock shares, there was conclusive news of the acquisition of FALYN, which was registered in Hong Kong only a few days ago by Singaporean billionaire Khoo Teck Put.
FALYN put forward a conditional general acquisition proposal, and FALYN will acquire A shares of Wheelock at HK$6 per share in cash and B shares at HK$0.6 per share, with a total capital of HK$1.9 billion.
The proposal also claimed that FALYN had purchased 6.7% of its shares and 22.7% of its B shares of approximately 54 million shares from the Madden family, both of which together accounted for 13.5% of Wheelock's voting rights.
Suddenly, the entire Xiangjiang River was in an uproar, and the whole city was instantly sensational.
It wasn't until that moment that Zhang Yuliang, the largest shareholder of Wheelock, woke up from a dream when he saw the acquisition proposal.
The minimum principle of a joint-stock company is that major changes in shareholding must be approved by the majority shareholders, let alone all directors. Xiao Ma Deng made a secret deal with the Qiu family in private, and he didn't treat his long-time partner as a human being.
With the temperament of the Zhang family, how can they stand it.
What's more, Khoo Teck Puat is the owner of Willtak Fung, which is likely to damage the interests of the original shareholders.
Under the interweaving of new hatred and old hatred, Zhang Yuliang vowed to thwart the attempts of the Ma and Qiu clans, and in a hurry, he went to move reinforcements.
Legend has it that Li Ka-shing was found first, but in the end, it was Master Bao who came forward to fight. Before Zhang Yuliang transferred the shares, he had a requirement for Bao's, that is, if he wanted to join the acquisition, he must fully control Wheelock and not let the other party have any space for the anti-takeover.
Bao said that there was absolutely no problem, and the insider was negotiating.
The intervention of the landing ship king pushed the acquisition war to a climax. Wheelock's two original shareholders, Chang's Ma Clan, sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, but they both put their chips on their respective fighters.
Tsk, that scene really shocked the attention of a group of people who eat melons.
At this juncture, Qiu Depu's representative Luo Fuqi came out to shout: the company bought Wheelock shares at a high price, 7 Hong Kong dollars for A shares, 0.7 Hong Kong dollars for B shares, and 2.43 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash!
The takeover war has set off a climax!
The day after Qiu Depu's hole cards were revealed, Bao Yugang immediately made a lightning move, announcing the acquisition of Wheelock's joint venture at a price of HK$11, a premium of 26%, and HK$322 million in cash.
Most of the conglomerate's assets are vessels, but it owns a 6.8% stake in Wheelock.
On this day, Wheelock's share price soared, reaching HK$7.5, and the market price was once again higher than the purchase price. At this time, the two sides have killed each other, and the acquisition war has entered a white heat.
Subsequently, Bao Yugang, who seized the opportunity, was full of firepower: its financial representative Dorly raised the price again on behalf of the Wharf Company under the Lord, with a share of 7.4 Hong Kong dollars and B shares of 0.74 Hong Kong dollars, and will use 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash to acquire Wheelock shares!
It has broken the record of the acquisition war since the opening of the port of Xiangjiang! As soon as the news came out, the whole Xiangjiang exploded! The people who eat melons are boiling!
"Wait!"
"Wait!"
Just now, when Mo Xuan recalled the details of the entire "Battle of Wheelock", he finally thought of a key place between the lightning and flint, which was also the key point that led Qiu Depuat to launch an offensive first, and finally ended in a fiasco!
Joint Venture!
That's right, the conglomerate!
In the case that Qiu Debai and Bao Yugang were evenly matched, and both sides were red-eyed, the reason why Bao Yugang was able to obtain it was because he got the 6.8% stake first!
Otherwise, this will be Defeng, who is the master of ups and downs, it is really not necessarily!
That being the case, hehe.....
"Tianfan!"
"Yes, boss. On the other end of the phone, Yuan Tianfan suddenly heard his boss calling his name so excitedly, and hurriedly answered loudly.
"When you're looking at Wheelock, you need to investigate one of its shareholders, the joint venture, its background, its decision-makers, its shareholder composition. ”
"I must be fast! I want to complete the acquisition of the joint enterprise within a week!"
As long as he can grasp the most critical 6.8% of Wheelock shares, whether it is Qiu Deba or Bao Yugang, he will have to find his own head.
At that time, the sandpiper and clam competed for the fisherman's profit, which was the key moment for him to raise the price to his heart's content.
"Yes, Mr. Mo. ”
Anyway, the money is not your own.
Since Mo Xuandu has already made a decision with such an oath, what else can Yuan Tianfan say, the only thing he can do is obedience, obedience, 100% obedience.
However, "Mr. Mo, I'm afraid this will be the funds needed by Defeng and the United Industry...."
Although, what Jardine Matheson, Wheelock, and the influence of these four oceanic companies in Xiangjiang is not as great as it used to be, but this rotten ship still has three catties of nails, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.
This will Defeng, still a behemoth.
"Funds, you don't need to worry. ”
"When the time comes, I will mobilize funds from other industries and remit all of them to the name of Evergrande Investment. ”
Whether it is for Qiu Debai or Bao Yugang, this battle for Defeng is a battle that cannot afford to lose, and it is completely out of Mo Xuan's consideration.
Otherwise, a wave of speculation will make Qiu Deba, or Bao Yugang.
No matter how bad it is, it is not a problem for him to directly invest in the shares and become the majority shareholder of Wheelock, and the economy of Hong Kong in the next few decades will still be at the forefront of the world.
In the previous life, a small shop cost millions of Hong Kong dollars.
...
"Ka, Ka, Ka!"
"Let's take a break, let's take a break. After finishing the filming of a clip, after estimating the time, Lin Lingliang called the card again, and the crew of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" began to rest again.
"Hey, this Miss Lizhi, if only I were here every day. ”
"Yes, it's not only pleasing to the eye, but also delicious from time to time. ”
