Chapter 481: Equity Split
Chapter 481 Equity Split
……
"Look, this is the information on the resumption of trading of East West Bank!"
"Nationals Westminster? I thought that the entire East West Bank was just me and my father-in-law, the two major shareholders! Wang Zheng opened the information and looked at it with a smile. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The Bank of Westminster was set up by me in partnership with the British bank, and both parties have a 50% stake. Defond National Westminster Bank is now merged into East West Bank. In terms of market capitalization, NatWest will have an 8% stake in East West Bank. ”
"This Huang Zuyao, who holds 7.8% of the shares, should be the chairman of Singapore's United Overseas Bank!"
"You know?"
Wang Zheng shook his head, "Know something!" After a pause, "If your father-in-law needs to find some weighty shareholders to boost the stock price for the listing of East West Bank, why not bring in a few of your brothers-in-law." Not to mention anything else, Mr. Su Haiwen's Global Shipping Group is one of the world's most famous ships! If he joins, it is believed that the market value of East West Bank will inevitably rise sharply after the listing. ”
Zhao Defang glanced at him and said indifferently: "I have already asked, he has no interest in East West Bank!" ”
"That's a shame!" Wang Zheng shrugged.
"There's no regret, East West Bank has enough of our four shareholders!" After a pause, "Now the equity of the entire East West Bank, my Defeng Group, holds 59.8%, which is the largest shareholder. Your Times Group holds 25% and is the second largest shareholder. The UK's National Westminster Bank holds 8% of the shares and is the third largest shareholder. With a stake of 7.8 per cent, Mr Wong is the fourth largest shareholder. In this resumption of trading, East West Bank will issue 100 million new shares, accounting for 20% of the total share capital, at a price of $22 per share, raising $2.2 billion! ”
He nodded clearly, "In this case, my stake will decay to 20%!" ”
"After the issuance of new shares, our shareholding will all go down, and I am no exception!"
“47.36%! It is written on the material! Wang Zheng picked up the information in his hand and gestured, "Father-in-law, I am more concerned about the $2.2 billion fund than the change in equity, how do you plan to use it?" ”
"This is the company's money, how to spend it, we still need to hold a general meeting of shareholders, and everyone will decide together!"
"That's fine, my father-in-law will remember to let me know when the time comes. I'm very interested in spending money. ”
"As long as you are the majority shareholder of the company, of course I will not forget you!"
After nodding, Wang Zheng stood up, "Then let's go, didn't you say that you want to hold a shareholder meeting?" Now, should you introduce the representatives of the other two companies to me? ”
"They're in another conference room!" After speaking, Zhao Defang also stood up. Then the two of them walked out of the room together.
The meeting was uneventful, and the plan for the resumption of trading was obviously agreed on a long time ago, and there was no objection to each other. Just agreed on the details. East West Bank, which was originally only listed in the United States, was changed to be listed in New York and Hong Kong. The respective shareholding ratios are 60% and 40% respectively! The company's headquarters remains the same, and it is still in San Francisco, USA!
After agreeing on the details of the resumption of trading, everyone finished lunch together before they dispersed.
"Jingle bell ......!"
Hearing the ringtone of the mobile phone, Wang Zheng took it out and looked at the caller ID, and a clear smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Fourth uncle, is there something wrong?"
"Wang Zheng, the fourth uncle wants to thank you this time!"
Compared with the first time they met, Li Zhaoji's voice was obviously more cordial.
Listening to the old man's excited tone, Wang Zheng didn't have to guess to know why.
"How? The old Taoist doctor I found for you is good, right? ”
"It's not just good, it's a miracle doctor! This time, I just got an injection, and I feel a lot more relaxed, and many old problems have been alleviated! Haha, I haven't been as energetic in years. ”
"That's good! If I can satisfy the fourth uncle, I will rest assured! ”
"Satisfied, so satisfied! It wasn't until I got old that I realized that nothing is as important as my body! ”
"Fourth Uncle is right!"
Then, Wang Zheng obviously felt a pause on the phone.
"Wang Zheng, you have done the fourth uncle such a big favor this time, how can the fourth uncle thank you?" Li Zhaoji asked with a smile.
has been in the business world all his life, and Li Zhaoji has never seen any kind of person. 'There is no free lunch in the world', he understands it more thoroughly than Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng visited him so actively, and also introduced him to famous doctors! If there is no plan, it is completely out of good intentions, and anyone in the city government does not believe it.
Hearing this, Wang Zheng didn't play those vain things to fool the shrewd Li Zhaoji, and after thinking about it briefly, he was ready to spread out the matter directly. But to spread it out, it also needs some embellishment. The art of speaking in China is that it can't be too straightforward.
"I am willing to do something for the fourth uncle. Moreover, that old Taoist is my master, not an outsider! ”
"Taiyi Chang is your master?"
Wang Zheng smiled slightly, "Yes, there is a Taiqingguan in my hometown, and I often went there when I was a child. As soon as he came and went, he was accepted by the master. It's a pity that I'm really unbearable, I have followed the master for more than ten years, except for some self-defense crops, I haven't learned a little bit of his old man's superb medical skills, which is really insulting to the master! ”
With his words, he instantly tied himself to Taiyi Lao Dao. It is also tantamount to telling Li Zhaoji that he is very important. If there is any unpleasantness between the two sides, he is fully capable of persuading Taiyi Lao Dao to leave. And Li Zhaoji's medical treatment was also in vain.
Although Wang Zheng's words are not very straightforward, he is as shrewd as Li Zhaoji, but he can also guess the stakes.
"I didn't expect you to have such a powerful master!" Li Zhaoji plays with taste.
"Yes, if we didn't know each other, I wouldn't have just found someone to introduce you to Fourth Uncle!"
"Then I want to thank you!"
"Fourth Uncle is polite!"
"That's right, Wang Zheng! Recently, Henderson Land plans to sell Haizhu Plaza in Yangcheng, the International Financial Center in Fengtian, and the International Trade Plaza in Shudu. ”
Wang Zheng understood as soon as he heard that this was Li Zhaoji's reward for himself, but he wanted to go to great lengths to draw Li Zhaoji to his side, and this was not what he wanted.
"Fourth uncle, the company has just spent more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire the Golden Eagle Trading Group, and it really can't spare funds to participate in Henderson's business!"
"That's it! If your company's funds are tight, I still have some old acquaintances in HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, who can help you discuss the loan. ”
"Then I'm here to thank Uncle Si! But when it comes to helping, I really need your help here, Fourth Uncle! ”
"Oh, is it? Let's talk about it! ”
"I've always been interested in the real estate industry, but I don't look down on ordinary real estate companies. It just so happened that when I came to Hong Kong this time, I met a family that I liked! ”
"You're not talking about Henderson, are you?"
"How is this possible, I don't dare to fight your idea, Fourth Uncle!"
"So which one do you have your eye on? Xinhe? Remote antiquity? It can't be Wharf, right? ”
"The fourth uncle is really powerful, it's the Wharf Group!"
The other side of the phone was silent, obviously Li Zhaoji was also surprised by Wang Zheng's choice. In terms of pure real estate, Wharf is stronger than Henderson. After all, half of Henderson's market value is supported by Hong Kong China Gas and Towngas China!
"You've got a good appetite, but the Wharf doesn't have much of a chance for you. Zhao Defang's Defeng Group has an absolute controlling stake in it. ”
After a brief consideration, Wang Zheng did not hide it: "Now I have 15% of the equity of Wharf Group, and Defeng Group's stake in Wharf has dropped to 45%!" ”
"Sure enough, it's terrifying. But I'm curious, how did you convince Zhao Defang? He's not an easy guy to deal with. Li Zhaoji said with a hint of surprise in his tone.
"Hehe, I paid a lot of money for this 15% of the shares." Of course, Wang Zheng will not disclose the details of the cooperation.
Li Zhaoji was not stupid, and when he saw that Wang Zheng didn't say anything, he didn't ask again.
"You want me to buy the shares of the Wharf Group in the market for you?"
"That's right! Fourth uncle, you are highly respected in the Hong Kong business community. Therefore, I have to ask the fourth uncle for more help in this matter! You don't need to buy too much, though, 20% is enough! Wang Zheng's eyes flashed with a gleam.
"20%? That's no problem, how long do you want to? ”
"Half a month!"
"Got it! You can rest assured about this matter, after half a month, I promise to hand over 20% of the shares of Wharf Group to you! Li Zhaoji said confidently.
"Then thank you Fourth Uncle! Also, I hope you will keep this matter a secret for me. Wang Zheng hurriedly instructed.
"Hehe, don't worry! By the way, when this matter is over, remember to come to the fourth uncle's house as a guest. I still have a few bottles of 30-year-old iron-capped Moutai here, and the fourth uncle will invite you to try them when the time comes. ”
"Good! I'll be sure to visit you in person! ”
Then Wang Zheng hung up the phone, with a relieved sigh of relief. With the help of Lee Chiu-kee, who is well-connected in Hong Kong's business community, the acquisition of the Wharf Group is half the success.
However, in order to dig up the Wharf Group, he prepared three hoes for Zhao Defang, and now two have been waved, it depends on whether the next third one can be waved smoothly!
Back at the villa, Taiyi Lao Dao has returned. Wang Zheng asked some details of the treatment, and then told him the content of the phone call with Li Zhaoji just now, so as to avoid being asked by the cunning old fox when he came to the next time for treatment.
Then, Wang Zheng beckoned and called Wang Kai to the study.
