Wang Zifan listened attentively, and suddenly frowned thoughtfully, Bao Yu was awarded the title of knight by the Queen of England a few years ago, and he took the upper-class route, and his influence was not small, Zheng Yutong was old and strong, wealthy, and Chow Tai Fook Qian Yuan Guangjin was in charge, and Li Jiacheng had just swallowed Hutchison Whampoa, and he was currently digesting, otherwise he would not sit idly by and watch him become the owner of Hong Kong Electric Light. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After several years of ups and downs in the business world, greatly broadening his horizons, Wang Zifan's values immediately changed unconsciously, such as his views on wealth, as well as his perception of wealthy families, he used to be quite convinced of Li Jiacheng, and even had a little admiration, but when he reached his current position, he suddenly found that Li Jiacheng was really fucked up, and he speculated Hong Kong housing prices so high, although he was not alone. credit', but also plays an important role in it, before the crossing, as a dick who can't get married without a house or a car, the most hated are those capitalists who make money by speculating in real estate!

Now Wang Zifan, on the contrary, admires people like Microsoft's Bill Gates, Apple's Jobs, and Google's founders, and thinks that this kind of talent is a great person who really contributes to the society, the country and the nation, of course, this may have something to do with the division of Hong Kong's real estate, and he can't monopolize real estate, and would rather spend money on research and development of high-tech, so that the Internet era will come in advance!

Huo Jianning saw that Wang Zifan frowned and smiled for a while, and thought that the other party couldn't understand, so he stopped and explained: "105 yuan is the price after a split of ten, that is, the shares are diluted ten times, and the acquisition code at that time allowed no more than 50% of the equity of the acquirer to do not need to propose a full acquisition, at the beginning of the acquisition, even Jardine Matheson Group did not fail to respond, and it was reached by telephone transaction, so the acquisition was completed in just one morning." ”

Wang Zifan couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "HSBC is a British-funded bank, and most of the directors are British, how could he help the Chinese to acquire a British-funded foreign bank?"

Huo Jianning smiled, helped his glasses, and said when the lenses flashed white: "Capital knows no borders, born for profit, this is also the most failed place of Jardine Matheson, the British are also people, the pursuit of interests, and more ruthless, they will not help the loser, the two sides cooperated, Mr. Bao acquired Wharf, Mr. Li acquired Hutchison Whampoa, and HSBC also got rid of some bad debts and obtained a lot of benefits." ”

Wang Zifan nodded secretly, this is indeed the truth, which is also similar to the Taoist 'potential', it turns out that HSBC can also be used, it seems that it is necessary to make one or two directors, and it will definitely come in handy in the future, his mind turned, and he asked with interest: "In your opinion, which is stronger or weaker between me and Li Jiacheng now?"

Smiling slightly, Huo Jianning was not surprised, as an insider, he knew more than ordinary people, thought about it for a while, and hinted: "I suggest that Mr. Wang not have conflicts with those old families, your current strength can't fight against them at all, the most important thing is that your industry is acquired except for Oriental Entertainment, and there is no team, just like the hanging garden of Babylon, if it encounters external forces, I am afraid it will collapse in an instant, and even spread to the entertainment industry, and eventually go bankrupt." ”

You're welcome!

Laughing at himself, Wang Zifan was not displeased, since Huo Jianning was not ashamed, he also took the teaching test, and asked: "At present, I hold about 31% of the equity of HK Electric through its fund, what do you think I should do?"

"What do you mean, Mr. Wang?"

"Privatization!" Wang Zifan popped out these three words in his mouth, without the slightest hesitation, his eyes staring at Huo Jianning!

What a big deal!

Huo Jianning's heart immediately relaxed, for him, the greater Wang Zifan's ambition, the more he could arouse his interest, and said with a smile: "This economic crisis has a great impact, I believe that there will be many British shareholders selling their shares, Mr. Wang might as well take advantage of this opportunity to buy it directly to avoid fighting in the market, compared to the attacker, you have already taken a big advantage." ”

"That's all?" the prince was noncommittal, he wanted a specific strategy, not a few casual words.

Huo Jianning further said: "Privatization is a complicated process, not to mention a super company with a market value of 10 billion, forgive me, Mr. Wang intends to continue to increase his shareholding in the name of the fund?"

"Not bad!"

"Then the funds will be a problem!" Huo Jianning frowned for the first time, individual privatization and group privatization are completely two concepts, just like Li Jiacheng's acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, which can only be operated by relying on Cheung Kong Industrial, and it is impossible to do it by himself.

Wang Zifan said quietly: "What do you think?"

Huo Jianning shook his head and explained: "Unless Hong Kong Electric is spun off and controls the core industry, but this will attract opposition from other shareholders, and the outcome is unpredictable!"

Wang Zifan nodded secretly, this is similar to what he thought, but if the working emperor only has this ability, it will be too wasteful!

"It seems that there is another way to do what you just meant!"

"The most common way to do this is through a holding company, such as Mr. Wang's...... Kowloon Construction!"

"Kowloon Jianye?" Wang Zifan was a little surprised, and couldn't help but say: "I'm more optimistic about the entertainment group!"

Huo Jianning said: "Although the entertainment group is good, it does not have this ability at present, and I believe Mr. Wang understands better than me how much money it will cost to acquire HK Electric!"

Ha ha!

It turns out that you also underestimate it!

The corners of Wang Zifan's mouth are slightly upturned, perhaps everyone thinks that he values Kowloon Construction Industry and Hong Kong Electric Lighting more, in fact, entertainment media is his hole card, and now his reputation is not obvious, and it will exert its power in a few years, entertainment controls movies and television, and the media enters the Internet and finance, and hesitating that the entertainment group is his private property, and it is natural that he will control it after expansion.

Huo Jianning began to break the news, the confident expression on his face was particularly obvious, and he approached and said in an aggravated tone: "I propose to invest in Hong Kong Electric in the name of Kowloon Construction, and even exchange shares with each other, because the business of the two sides has a certain degree of coordination, and you are the largest shareholder of Kowloon Development, so that you can not only increase the voice of the boards of directors of the two groups, but also eliminate potential challengers, and most importantly, there is no conflict with the privatization you promote, and even help to achieve this goal!"

"Huh!"

Wang Zifan was surprised, there was a feeling that his eyes lit up, a moment ago he was worried that his opponents were blocking Hong Kong Electric and Kowloon Construction at the same time, so that he had no time to deal with it, thinking about how to resolve the crisis, Huo Jianning's plan came too timely, and his defensive strength was more than doubled in just a few words, after the Lei family was out of the game, he was the undisputed largest shareholder of Kowloon Jianye, exchanging shares with each other, which was equivalent to conjuring up a lot of equity for no reason.

Huo Jianning saw that Wang Zifan was moved, and reminded: "This plan sounds beautiful, but the specific operation is a little difficult!"

Wang Zifan heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning, isn't this a disguised recommendation of himself, and said with a smile: "I'll introduce someone to you in a few days, you just need to do your best to assist her, by the way, her name is Diana, and she is currently serving as CEO!"

"Diana......" Huo Jianning had a flash of inspiration and lost his voice: "The British princess?"

Princess?

What a noble title, and what a pride to conquer her.

Wang Zifan thought about the content he didn't want to close, and his expression was strange, these two words sounded really exciting, and they were worth playing.

Huo Jianning frowned and hesitated: "Miss Diana, she ......"

"Are you worried that she doesn't have the ability?"

"This ...... It's good that Mr. Wang understands!"

"So I want to ask you to be the president of the Hongkong Electric Group!"

"Total ...... President?"

Huo Jianning was dizzy, what is a step to heaven, he is now, from the accounting director to the company's talker.

Wang Zifan is very satisfied with this decision, the chairman, CEO, and president, now the three carriages of Hong Kong Electric have been assembled, it sounds very strange, I don't understand who is big and who is small, in fact, the founder is the founding emperor, the founder of Hong Kong Electric Lighting, this person is not him, he is now the chairman, can be regarded as the current emperor, that is, the boss, the CEO is equivalent to the left prime minister, the company's second-in-command, Huo Jianning's president is equivalent to the right prime minister, all appointed by the emperor, under normal circumstances, the chairman? CEO? President, so Wang Zifan said to let Huo Jianning assist Diana.

Suddenly remembering something, Wang Zifan turned his head and asked, "I heard that the Qi Dezun family wants to transfer the equity of Hutchison Whampoa?"

Huo Jianning said: "There is such a saying!"

Li Jiacheng's Hutchison Huang was snatched from Qi Dezun, when the Queen of England visited Hong Kong, Wang Zifan also saw this person, a sick face, and he could braided his hair at any time, and sure enough, not long after, Qi Dezun passed away, and the equity in his hand was inherited by the family, and now the withdrawal of British capital from Hong Kong is the general trend, and the Qi Dezun family has no outstanding descendants, and Lao Tzu can't compete with Li Jiacheng, what can he do if he doesn't make a son, only to give up out.

Unlike Wang Zifan, Huo Jianning still admired Qi Dezun very much, and sighed: "Many people have a bumpy experience before success, and Mr. Qi is no exception, during the fall of Hong Kong, Mr. Qi became a prisoner of the Japanese army and was imprisoned in the Sham Shui Po concentration camp, not long after, rescued by the Dongjiang Column, he successfully escaped from the concentration camp with another artillery companion and a member of the Volunteer Regiment, and finally arrived safely at the Allied positions in Chinese mainland. ”

Perhaps Mr. Qi's escape from the concentration camp greatly encouraged the British army to be defeated repeatedly, he was awarded the Military Cross by the British Court in 1942, and the British army fought several victories with the assistance of China, and was rewarded for meritorious deeds, and Mr. Qi was awarded the OBE in 1943, and since then he has become a Hong Kong celebrity, taking advantage of the opportunity of Hong Kong's post-war reconstruction, he became the owner of Wheelock, of course, Wheelock owns half of the shares of Hutchison, and becomes the owner of Hutchison foreigners. ”

Huo Jianning took out another document from his purse, Wang Zifan took a cursory look, it was all Qi Dezun's fortune experience, and he still had to listen to Huo Jianning's nagging.

In 1963, Mr. Kee acquired the shares of Hutchison & Co., Inc., a listed company of Wheelock & Company, through IWC, and changed its name to Hutchison International in 1965, with him as chairman. ”

After 1960, Mr. Kei embarked on a series of acquisitions through the issuance of new shares, during which he acquired long-established foreign firms such as Watsons, De Hui Bao and Tai Ho & Co., which formed the core of Hutchison International's expansion of import, export trade, wholesale and retail. ”

In 1969, Mr. Qi raised HK$72 million through the issuance of preferred shares and acquired a 30% stake in Whampoa Dockyard and took control of the company. ”

In 1970, Hutchison International acquired the large warehouse group Kwon Yick Warehouse through Whampoa Dockyard, and the two companies owned large areas of land in Hung Hom, Kowloon, and North Point and West Wan on Hong Kong Island, respectively, and Hutchison International became the largest landowner in Hong Kong. During this period, the number of companies controlled by the Group grew from 30 to more than 200. ”

Mr. Kei has also been an investment in Hong Kong's future, having advocated for the construction of the Hung Hom Cross Harbour Tunnel, which he proposed to be funded by the Hong Kong government. However, the proposal was opposed by the Financial Secretary, Sir Pak Wai Kwok, and the construction of the Harbour Tunnel was eventually financed by Hutchison International. ”

In 1967, Mr. Kei and Sir Shaw and others co-founded Television Broadcasts Limited. Since then, he has served as vice chairman of the company's board of directors, which led to the famous TVB. ”

Mr. Kei has also served as Chairman of Hong Kong Oxygen Corporation, Vice Chairman of Cross Harbour Tunnel Limited, and a director of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC), The Dairy Farm Company, Hong Kong Textile Mills, Towngas, OOCL Container Group and Ocean Park. ”

"In 1975, Hutchison International borrowed goods for investment activities on a large scale due to excessive expansion, but the stock market boom cooled and the global oil crisis caused the stock prices of Hutchison's listed companies to depreciate sharply. The market capitalisation of the company fell to HK$340 million, equivalent to only 4.7% of its heyday in 1973. ”

In September 1975, Hutchison International convened a general meeting of shareholders to request a rights issue of HK$175 million, but the shareholders represented by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation were rejected, and the board of directors was finally forced to accept HSBC's proposal to inject HK$150 million to acquire a 33.65% controlling stake. ”

Wang Zifan was speechless, so awesome, in the end, it was not cheap Li Jiacheng!

Huo Jianning hesitated and said: "If you have enough funds, now is also the best time to invest in Hutchison Whampoa!"

Wang Zifan blinked, his heart puffed and jumped non-stop, Qi Dezun is so awesome, but Li Jiacheng did such a thing, humiliating people to death, people must have opinions, he has no funds now, but he can do things, as long as Li Jiacheng is not allowed to buy these shares, he still has a trace of the possibility of entering Hutchison Whampoa, if he doesn't do it, then there is no chance at all, let Li Jiacheng completely control Hutchison, he will definitely find a way to weaken him', the 'second master', this is human nature, and he will do it if he is replaced.

"Mr. Wang, I ......"

"You go back first!"

Wang Zifan waved his hand, and while the aura was still there, he hurriedly came up with a countermeasure.

Huo Jianning wanted to speak and stopped, such an important meeting ended like a child's play?
