Chapter 957 Strategy

……

Liu Dong once again felt the convenience of owning a private jet, he was still in the capital in the morning, and by the afternoon he had already arrived in Hong Kong!

Wherever you go, you can save at least two hours of time!

Therefore, Liu Dong can sit in the top western restaurant in Hong Kong and enjoy a wonderful dinner with peace of mind.

After forking the cut steak and putting it in his mouth, chewing, feeling the aroma of the beef texture, Liu Dong exclaimed: "The steak in this Western restaurant is really good! Jianhui, how did you find here?"

"I didn't know it at first, but it was all recommended by a friend...... If Dong Liu likes it, he can come often in the future!" Feng Jianhui said with a smile.

"It's okay to come often, once you eat too much good things, you will lose your feeling and become ordinary, so let's talk about it when you come to Hong Kong in the future!"

As he spoke, Liu Dong ate all the steaks on his plate.

Feng Jianhui, who had long known that his boss was an out-and-out foodie, did not express surprise when he saw Liu Dong order 5 steaks and still eat them faster than himself, he had known Liu Dong for nearly two years, and this kind of thing had become commonplace for Feng Jianhui.

After wiping his mouth, Liu Dong looked at Feng Jianhui, who had already eaten the last steak and put down the knife, and said, "How is it?"

"Eat it!" Feng Jianhui wiped his mouth and said.

"I'm asking you how you feel after becoming the president of the Hanhua Bank Group?" Liu Dong said with a smile and a smile.

"Tell me the truth?"

"Of course, there is nothing to hide from me!" Liu Dong nodded.

I've known each other for almost two years, although the two belong to a superior-subordinate relationship. But in private, it's more like a friend. So talking to each other also seems very casual.

"To say feelings. In addition to managing more money, it's one word - 'tired'!"

"Tired?" This answer was somewhat unexpected by Liu Dong.

"That's right!" After nodding, Feng Jianhui continued: "Compared with the Huayang Group, which has already become formal, the current Hanhua Bank Group, except for the Hanhua Bank because it inherited the foundation of Chong Hing Bank and Jiangsu and Zhejiang First Bank, although the remaining five branches of Hanhua Securities, Hanhua Insurance and Hanhua Holdings inherited the respective departments related to the two banks, as well as the relatively mature Qingyang Venture Capital, but this is only a shelf. It's still a long way from maturity, how can you not be tired!"

"Hehe, can you work hard?" Liu Dong patted Feng Jianhui on the shoulder and said.

"Who told me to get on your thief ship in the first place, and now I have to do it!" Feng Jianhui half-jokingly.

Liu Dong didn't care about Feng Jianhui's words.

"By the way, how much loan can Hanhua Bank take out now without affecting its normal operation?"

After looking at Liu Dong with questioning eyes, Feng Jianhui pondered for a while and said, "If it doesn't exceed 4 billion US dollars, it shouldn't affect Hanhua's operations!"

"4 billion, so much?"

"Thanks to the exposure of Time Magazine, it is known that Hanhua Bank is the main controlling shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank. And after the equity value exceeded $30 billion, the number of people who kept their money in Hanhua Bank gradually increased during this time. In just one month, the total amount of deposits has exceeded 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars. Thanks to the improvement of the strength of the Hanhua Bank, this trend of rising deposits is still expanding, so the next six months, or even a year, will be a period of rapid growth for the bank's business! Therefore, it will no longer be difficult for the current Hanhua Bank to take a loan of $4 billion! If the Hanhua Bank continues to develop at the current trend for another five years, the number of loans it can provide will increase several times, or even more! Feng Jianhui said confidently.

"Then I'm relieved!" Liu Dong said in his heart.

Originally, more than $3 billion in cash in his hand had to be reserved for the expansion of Dongchao Group, Huayang Group and K. Wah Group, as well as the acquisition of Quancheng No. 2 Steel Mill, Yang Ming Group and Shangyuan Group, plus the construction of Emperor Entertainment City, so the funds for the acquisition of Swire Hong Kong Holdings could only rely on banks!

Originally, Liu Dong planned to take out the more than 200 tons of gold he had just obtained from Sun Dianying's treasure, but now it seems that he will not need it for the time being, and a loan of 4 billion US dollars is enough. What's more, Liu Dong didn't directly let Hanhua Bank buy it!

"How much stake do you have in Swire Hong Kong Holdings now?" said Liu.

"It's already 9.7%!"

"6.7%! Together with my 13.3% share, Standard Chartered Bank's 10.9% acquisition, and America's 7.5% acquisition, I now control Swire Hong Kong's stake to 38.4%, and with another 11.6% of the shares, I can completely control this large company with a market capitalization of $8 billion (the global crisis caused by the Nadash crisis and 9/11 has gradually passed, and the stock price has recovered)!" Liu said.

Seeing Liu Dong's silence, Feng Jianhui said: "Now Swire should have noticed that the shares of its branch are being acquired, so they have begun to raise funds to increase their stake in Swire Hong Kong, which is very bad for us!"

The disadvantage of Feng Jianhui's mouth is that the competition between the two will make the stock price of Swire Hong Kong soar in the market, and the acquisition price will be even greater.

However, Liu Dong considered that he should eat all the shares before Swire started to join the competition, so it didn't matter if he spent a little more money, as long as he could get a controlling stake, it would be a victory!

"Jianhui, this way! Since Swire Group has detected the signs of our acquisition, there is no need to hide it, immediately mobilize funds and go all out to acquire the outstanding shares of Swire Hong Kong in the current market, as long as we acquire another 11.6% of the shares, it doesn't matter if we spend a little more money!" Liu Dong said categorically.

glanced at the other party in surprise, although Feng Jianhui had long known that Liu Dong would not be able to directly let Hanhua Bank buy the shares of Hong Kong Swire Pacific, because the goal was too big, but he never imagined that his small boss had controlled 38.4% of Swire Hong Kong's shares without making a sound, which had surpassed Swire Hong Kong's parent company, Swire Group!

"I understand Liu Dong!"

Feng Jianhui nodded.

"After our acquisition of Swire Hong Kong Limited is successful, the group will be part of GCA Holdings!"

Feng Jianhui was not surprised by Liu Dong's decision, as it can be seen from a series of adjustments at Liu Dong's annual meeting that Hanhua Bank Group will be the capital core and business core of Liu Dong's business group in the future. What's more, having studied and worked in the West, he has vaguely guessed Liu Dong's plans.

Consortium!

Although the scale of Liu Dong's enterprises is still small, but after the Hanhua Bank joined, the formation of a conjoined Liu Dong's more than a dozen enterprises have undoubtedly become the prototype of the consortium, as long as the development continues, after each company reaches a certain scale, a span of finance, jewelry, real estate, hotels, tourism, media, aviation, IT Internet, and even steel, chemicals, and Hanhua Bank as the center of the Hanhua consortium, or Liu's consortium will gradually take shape!

Although this consortium has only just emerged, Feng Jianhui has already seen its future, and at the same time, he is also amazed by Liu Dong's ambition!

Liu Dong didn't know what Feng Jianhui was thinking, and after dealing with the acquisition of Hong Kong Swire Pacific Limited, Liu Dong's attention quickly shifted to another matter!

"Jianhui, do you think there is still room for the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank to rise now?"

"Yes, but space is limited!"

"Why?" Liu Dong said next.

"After the acquisition or merger and reorganization of large listed companies, it is inevitable that the stock price will soar in the case of placing excellent assets, but this kind of stock price surge is generally difficult to exceed 50% of its own stock price! Standard Chartered Bank, South Africa's Standard Bank and seven high-quality small and medium-sized banks in the United States After the merger and reorganization, the actual shareholders' equity is between 30 billion US dollars ~ 40 billion US dollars!"

“…… And now in the stock markets of Hong Kong, London, and the United States, the equity of Standard Chartered Bank has exceeded 72 US dollars, and it is conceivable that in the next few months, the equity of Standard Chartered Bank will fall! As for whether it falls to 30 billion, or 40 billion, or even higher, it depends on the leadership of Standard Chartered, if they can use the good news of acquiring high-quality companies to inspire shareholders and investment institutions, then the share price of Standard Chartered Bank will continue to rise, and continue to run at a high level for a longer time, with time, it will give the leadership of Standard Chartered Bank room to adjust calmly, and even if the stock price falls, there will be no sudden decline, and I believe that Standard Chartered's shares will remain at a higher position than $40 billion！”

After nodding thoughtfully, Liu Dong continued: "Then should we take advantage of the fact that the shares of Standard Chartered Bank in our hands are still at a high level?"

"The standard Standard Chartered shares in the hands of Chairman Liu can be sold all in exchange for funds, but Hanhua Bank cannot, and now the Standard Chartered shares in the hands of Hanhua have become the basis for maintaining the status of Hanhua's large bank, and a small amount of money can be sold, but it must not be sold in large sums, otherwise not only can the good situation of Hanhua Bank not be maintained, but even the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank will have an avalanche, which is detrimental to our interests!"

"I understand, today's meal is good!" Liu Dong nodded after pondering for a while.

"As long as Liu Dong likes it!"

"Well, have you eaten well?" Liu Dong said.

"Eat!"

"Then let's go!"

……

After saying goodbye to Feng Jianhui, Liu Dong returned to his mansion in Repulse Bay, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the study, looking at the starry sea under the cover of night in the distance, Liu Dong's deep pupils flashed with the light of wisdom!

The conversation with Feng Jianhui gave him a lot of inspiration, and after synthesizing everyone's opinions, he also had a bottom in his heart about what to do next. (To be continued......)
