Shen Bi often reads some of China's histories, and one of the idioms he likes very much is that strange goods can live.

So what he invests in is to see if this person is worth investing, if this person is not good, then he will not invest no matter how good this person is doing now, on the contrary, if this person values himself, even if he can't do it now, he will help him and invest in advance.

Shen Bi judged that Zhang Heng had the necessary conditions to do great things through the conversation just now, and he would definitely achieve something in the future, so he decided to invest in Zhang Heng.

And just now Shen Bi read the report given by Zhang Heng, but he didn't expect that the profits of Oriental Animation far exceeded his guesses, so Shen Bi was even more interested in Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng saw Shen Bi and said after reading it, "I don't know how much Mr. Shen thinks Oriental Animation can borrow with its comic copyright."

Shen Bi smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang uses Oriental Animation, including its comic copyright, as collateral, to be honest, we haven't encountered this matter in HSBC. ”

Isn't it, can't you get a penny loan, so your plan may have to be delayed, and it may be complicated, Zhang Heng thought secretly

Shen Bi saw that after he finished speaking, Zhang Heng's face did not change, and he couldn't help nodding secretly, he didn't panic when he encountered something, and he was really a person who did big things.

"Under normal circumstances, you can't take out a loan, but I appreciate and admire Mr. Zhang's personality, I can personally call the shots and can give a limit of 6 billion, but this matter still has to be discussed in the board of directors" After speaking, Shen Bi gave Zhang Heng a meaningful look.

Zhang Heng was also taken aback by his generosity, Zhang Heng originally expected to be able to borrow 3 billion, although Oriental Animation is very profitable, but after all, this copyright matter is not as reassuring as immovable assets now.

Unexpectedly, in order to win himself over, Shen Bi suddenly increased the loan amount to 6 billion.

"Thank you so much for Mr. Shen's help, Zhang Heng must remember it" Zhang Heng gave a proper promise.

Shen Bi took a sip of tea, and then asked with a relaxed and uncaring look

"I don't know what Mr. Zhang is doing with the loan, I don't mean anything else, I just want to see if there is anything I can help, if it's inconvenient, forget it"

"Mr. Shen's willingness to help is something that cannot be sought, how can it be inconvenient!"

Of course, Zhang Heng didn't believe that he was not interested in the use of his loan, but Zhang Heng's plan itself was to borrow Shen Bi's power, even if he didn't mention it, Zhang Heng would provoke this topic.

"Mr. Shen should know that the real estate business in Heung Kong is the most profitable now," Zhang Heng said

"It's true that the real estate industry in Xiangjiang is becoming more and more developed now, and it is a good project, Mr. Zhang has a lot of vision! I don't know which piece of land Zhang Sheng has taken a fancy to," Shen Bi asked

"No, I'm interested in a company, and I found that it has a lot of real estate that can be developed, and of course it needs Mr. Shen's help," Zhang Heng said

"What kind of company, you still need my help, you can't buy it directly," Shen Bi said with a smile

If I can use the money to smash me, what will I do with you Zhang Heng thought in his heart, but said on his lips

"This matter really can't be done without Mr. Shen's help"

"Oh, which company," Shen Bi asked

"Hutchison Whampoa" Zhang Heng spit out four words

Shen Bi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words Hutchison Whampoa, Zhang Heng, a Chinese, actually wanted to buy Hutchison Whampoa and peeked at Hutchison & Co., which was one of the four major British-funded foreign companies.

The history of Hutchison Whampoa can be traced back to the founding of Hutchison & Co. in 1860 and the Whampoa Dockyard in 1863.

In the late 70s of the 20th century, the world's shipping industry declined, and the British-funded Whampoa Dockyard Company, founded in 1880, was in trouble, and because of the rapid expansion, it caused a debt crisis.

At a general meeting of shareholders, the board of directors requested shareholders to issue shares of HK$175 million to resolve the company's financial crisis, but the shareholders represented by HSBC rejected it

There is no way for Hutchison Whampoa's creditors to follow the law to demand the liquidation of Hutchison Whampoa. With no choice but to accept HSBC's proposal for HSBC to inject HK$150 million into the acquisition of a 33.65% controlling stake in Hutchison International, HSBC became the majority shareholder of Hutchison International.

However, Shen Bi calmed down and thought about it, this transaction is not a loss, although HSBC has a large number of Hutchison Whampoa shares, but Hutchison Whampoa has never been able to develop, the deficit is huge, these shares are useless in hand, it is better to sell them and make a profit.

Moreover, because Heungjiang has regulations that banking institutions are not allowed to operate non-financial institutions, HSBC has also been looking for a buyer to transfer its shares in Hutchison many times in the past two years.

Although Hutchison Whampoa is not doing well and its profitability is not ideal, it has a deep foundation and has a large number of fixed assets with a market value of about 7 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Shen Bi didn't think that Zhang Heng could easily acquire this company.

"Okay, I can try to find a way to pass this resolution on the board of directors and transfer the shares held by our HSBC bank to you, as for the other shares of Hutchison Whampoa, you need to figure out your own way," Shen Bi said

"Of course, I will find a way for other shares, HSBC is really grateful to Mr. Shen for his help," Zhang Heng said excitedly

"Okay, your loan can be given to you first, but this deal is estimated to take a while, and now is not the right time," Shen Bi said

"Okay, everything is arranged by Mr. Shen," Zhang Heng said

And Shen Bi was thinking about how to complete the deal after Zhang Heng left.

Because Shen Bi knew very well that the two directors of the British-funded foreign bank, Jardine Matheson and Swire & Co., in HSBC, would never easily agree to hand over Hutchison Whampoa to a Chinese businessman.

In this way, Zhang Heng will have the capital to be on an equal footing with them, and let a Chinese be on an equal footing with them, when there are still many British people who feel that they are still superior, they will feel very faceless.

That would make it difficult to close the deal.

So it needs to be timed right.

…………

After Zhang Heng came back, he immediately summoned Yuan Tianfan, who was still on vacation, to discuss this matter.

Now that the first step of the plan has been completed, Yuan Tianfan believes that the top priority is to immediately and quietly buy the shares of Hutchison Whampoa with multiple accounts opened in advance, and Zhang Heng also thinks so, and immediately takes action.

Zhang Heng secretly opened a number of secret accounts in advance to buy a large number of stocks in the hands of retail investors in Hutchison Whampoa and Wharf without alarming the market.

During this period, Zhang Heng recruited a group of professional operators, because Zhang Heng knew that there was a big battle waiting for him in the future!

All that remains is to wait for Shen Bi's call, and this wait is two months.
