Chapter 379: Qiu Degen wants to intervene
On July 1, Wang Zifan served as the vice chairman of the hotel!
On July 3, Michael Gadari asked for help from the white knight in the morning, and announced that he would increase his stake in the afternoon, and strongly declared his unwillingness to give up his ancestral business in public!
On July 5, Wang Zifan invited Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang, and Zheng Yutong to have afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel, and the three families withdrew from the resistance war. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On July 8, the authoritative newspaper "The Times" announced that the hotel group had changed hands, and the whole city was shaken!
On July 10, McGoley, the former general manager of Grand Hotel Group, resigned!
On July 11, the board of directors was convened, and Wang Zifan replaced Jiadaoli as the chairman of Hong Kong Hotel Group!
After replacing Jiadaoli, Wang Zifan transferred 130 million funds from DreamWorks to increase the equity to 51.7%, forming an absolute controlling stake, so that the Jiadaoli family has no room for resistance, and the next thing is to take advantage of the victory to pursue, Wang Zifan does not want to have a major shareholder holding more than 30% of the shares, several rounds of negotiations, one round is more severe than one round, and finally after Wang Zifan promised not to acquire any property of the Jiadaoli family within 30 years, Michael was willing to sell all the shares to Wanda Group at a price of 35 yuan per share.
On July 15, the two parties formally signed a contract, and Wang Zifan's shareholding increased to 82.1%, exceeding the maximum individual shareholding limit set by the exchange, and Wang Zifan officially submitted a privatization application to the exchange.
So far, after a month and a half, Wang Zifan's merger and acquisition of Hong Kong Hotel Group has come to an end!
On this day, Hong Kong newspapers and periodicals were occupied by Wang Zifan's topic, which was very shocking for many people, because two months ago Wang Zifan did not have a big hotel stock in his hands, and there was no foundation to break through a strong holding and smooth operation of a British-funded group, and many financial experts analyzed the success rate of close to zero, so no one was optimistic about Wang Zifan before the war, and now that the acquisition is successful, no one questions the strength of the 'Hand of God'!

"It's amazing!" Qiu Degen read the front page headline of "Apple Daily" twice in a row, which detailed the process of Wang Zifan's acquisition of Hong Kong Hotel Group, the more he looked at it, the more he admired Wang Zifan, if it was him, when Michael Jiadaoli encouraged the British directors to refuse Chinese to join the board of directors, he might give up, maybe for the sake of face, he would fight a few lawsuits, but he would never be like Wang Zifan who was endless, like maggots attached to the bones, and finally the original major shareholders of the Jiadaoli family and Liang Zhonghao family fought out.
Qiu Dacheng smiled: "Dad, you are impressed with Ah Fan this time!"
Qiu Degen noticed the change in his son's title, and said quietly: "How have you been dating Wang Zifan recently?"
Qiu Dacheng said without thinking: "Afan, he is too busy, but we will have afternoon tea at the Intercontinental Hotel on weekends and talk about Hong Kong's economic development!"
Qiu Degen raised his eyebrows, as if he was very interested in this, and asked, "Did he talk to you about the next acquisition target?"
"Acquisition target?" Qiu Dacheng was stunned and laughed at himself: "How could Ah Fan tell me such a sensitive topic!"
"Oh!" Qiu Degen was slightly disappointed, he followed the wrong direction in the acquisition of the hotel group, and bought China Power shares in advance, but the real target of the people was not it, and when he reacted, the war situation was already white-hot, Wang Zifan controlled the stock price trend throughout the process, making many small and medium-sized shareholders miserable, Wang Zifan in addition to eating the shares of major shareholders, even they did not let go, and in the end not only could not make money, but also lost money.
Qiu Degen lost more than 5 million yuan in this acquisition boom, although it is not much for him, but on ATV, it is enough to break his muscles and bones!
Chatting about Wang Zifan's acquisition of the hotel, Qiu Dacheng suddenly thought of something, pondered for a moment, and hesitated: "Dad, I remember that Ah Fan seems to have mentioned some goals!"
"Some?" Qiu Degen looked skeptical, can the resistance war still be played?
I have to say that after knowing Wang Zifan, Qiu Degen once seriously analyzed his way to make a fortune, first of all, the battle of "Jianing Myth" made Wang Zifan famous Xiangjiang, and he really tasted the sweetness of playing mergers and acquisitions, playing equity, and playing listed companies, and after that, the name "Wang Zifan" began to be closely associated with the blocker of listed companies, or the so-called barbarians. He moved the leveraged buyout routine used in Europe and the United States to the Hong Kong capital market, and constantly launched a blockade against some high-quality old listed companies, and almost every battle was sure to be won.
To sum up, Wang Zifan's path is: when he encounters Peugeot's prey, he attacks quickly like a shark predator, and then wins through one of two inevitable endings: either force the major shareholder of the listed company to buy back the shares that he speculated at a high price in order to defend control and profit from it, or replace the major shareholder to become the new owner of the listed company, because his attacks are all excellent targets, so speculating in stocks and becoming shareholders is also a great victory.
These are also not technical, so Qiu Degen asked his son Qiu Dacheng to study with Wang Zifan, wanting to train him to become the second Wang Zifan!
Qiu Dacheng didn't understand his father's painstaking efforts, and said, "Afan, he gave a few examples!"
Qiu Degen leaned forward and couldn't wait to say, "What are they?"
Qiu Dacheng said: "There is Wheelock, there is Kowloon Bus, and there are Chinese real estate!"
"Kowloon Bus?" Qiu Degen frowned, because he was also a shareholder of Kowloon Bus, and at that time, Wang Zifan invited him to join the board of directors, why did he want to block it in a blink of an eye, did Wang Zifan want to privatize Kowloon Bus like the big hotel group blockade, but will the Hong Kong government allow such a big move, Kowloon Bus belongs to the public service industry, and the government will definitely intervene!
"Yes!!"
"He wants to privatize?"
"I don't know very well, compared to the Kowloon Bus, I think Wheelock and Chinese Estates are more worthy of attention!"
"Hmm!",
Qiu Degen nodded in agreement, Wheelock belongs to the British asset industry, as for Chinese real estate, you can hear the ownership from the name, the important shareholders are all Chinese, but the former has a market value of billions, and the latter only has more than 300 million!
Qiu Dacheng groaned: "I think Ah Fan attaches more importance to Chinese real estate!"
"Ah Cheng, do you think that if he acquires Hongkong Group, he will also look at the Chinese real estate with a market value of only 300 million?" Qiu Degen smiled, as if he saw Wang Zifan's real goal, according to Wang Zifan's usual generosity, the goal is 100% Wheelock, because Wheelock is not only a veteran British asset industry, but also has a lot of high-quality land in the future, and the potential is not inferior to Wanda Group.
Qiu Dacheng said tentatively: "Then Dad, what do you mean?"
Wheelock?
Qiu Degen smiled bitterly and sighed: "We can't do anything that the prince dares to do, instead of fighting with a few big giants in the acquisition of Wheeloku, it is better to block the Chinese real estate! I'm afraid that we will also be named snipers in the stock market at that time!"
Qiu Dacheng said disapprenously: "Some people like to make a fuss, block the company from having problems, and want to blame others, just like the Hong Kong Electric Group in the hands of the Jardine Matheson Group has business difficulties, like the twilight years, and after the acquisition of Afan, a series of restructuring and mergers and acquisitions, the result is that the market value has doubled in just one year, not only to get rid of the predicament, but also to make shareholders rich, such a good thing is something that some people are singing the opposite!"
Qiu Degen said helplessly: "I see that you are about to be brainwashed by him, Ah Cheng, you have to remember that I asked you to follow him, I am learning from him, not diehard, you will take over the family business in the future!"
"I know, Dad!" Qiu Dacheng couldn't help but be excited, he was the youngest son of the Qiu family, and there were five older brothers on it, and he chose him to inherit the family property, which was too unexpected!
In fact, Qiu Dacheng thinks highly of Qiu Degen, he chooses Qiu Dacheng as his successor, and will not divide all the family property to the other party, after all, he has seven children, especially for the eldest son, he left one-third of the property to the eldest son, one-third of the property to the younger son, and the remaining one-third is equally divided by the other sons.
