Chapter 0387 - ET Aliens in Gear
After a round of collision of forces, the next thing is naturally a clash of intelligences. Stop-and-go is exactly the old-fashioned way of playing that has been followed by the conflict of interests for a long time.
The result of the capital war launched by Tang Huan so far is that Qinhe has overtaken Jardine Matheson and has mastered more than 40% of Hongkong Land's shares.
The concentration of shares has reached such a point that the issue of privatization and delisting can indeed be considered.
In fact, as early as after the successful speculation in the battle for Wharf and the self-buying and self-selling of Jianing Group's stock price, Tang Huan quietly began the layout of Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land, and secretly placed about 10% of the shares obtained under the name of another unaffiliated company as a killer feature.
Therefore, at present, Qinhe has actually obtained a full controlling stake in Hongkong Land, but this public announcement is still being studied.
At this time, HSBC, a major creditor, intervened and took 20% of Hongkong Land's shares in Jardine Matheson, temporarily preventing it from falling with Hongkong Land's name change.
With such a change, the killer feature must be revealed, and this meeting is for a showdown.
"You have to give up the position of chairman of the board of directors and managing director of Hongkong Land, and you should understand the reasons yourself." After a few routine quarrels, Zhou Mi coldly gave an ultimatum.
"Is it because HSBC took the 20 percent of the Jardine Matheson shares?" He smirked, "I wanted to make a surprise, but I didn't expect you to be so surprised. ”
"Did you take the initiative to retreat, or did I drive you away?" Zhou Mi frowned and asked.
"It's almost the same as Tang Huanlai told me, why are you?" Nubijian pouted. Provocatively thoughtful. "Now everybody is a major shareholder. So much for. ”
"No, it's up to me now." Zhou Mi shook off the two documents, "That's what I rely on." ”
Luo Bijian flipped through a few pages with disdain, and his face immediately turned pale, how could the other party suddenly have ten percent more shares in his hand, and his most direct reaction was that another party abandoned Jardine.
"Let me introduce you." Zhou Mi raised his hand and motioned to a white man in his forties, "This is Simon Murray?" Murray. His Chinese name is Ma Shimin, who has worked for Jardine Matheson for 14 years since 1965, and I don't know if you remember this former colleague, but it doesn't matter anymore, he will take over as managing director. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Mi glanced at Bao Fuda, who was sitting next to Lei Bijian with an uncertain expression, "Of course, if you are still willing to continue working at Hongkong Land, I welcome you on behalf of Mr. Tang." ”
With no way out, Woobi slapped the table, "It's not a big deal. Give up the chairman's seat and you'll find out soon. What is called high debt? ”
"Mr. Tang has already predicted what kind of mess you left behind, but fortunately, he has never been short of money, and it is easy to continue to be a savior." Zhou Mi leaned over to get the documents back, and then made a gesture that was so angry that he couldn't pay for his life.
He walked away, and Bofforda moved his ass a few times, but finally didn't leave his seat.
You know, after all, New Bijian is a big man, and he lost the position of chairman of the board of directors and managing director of Hongkong Land, as well as the position of chairman of the board of directors and managing director of Jardine Matheson, but once he Bao Fuda leaves Hongkong Land, the only position and the best position will follow, and he is really reluctant.
Seeing that Newwall was in a hurry and walked away, Zhou Mi praised it in his heart, the effect of this killer feature was really immediate, but I don't know what role the remaining Jardine Matheson will play when the time comes.
"It was immediately announced that Qinhe had successfully acquired Hongkong Land and obtained a controlling stake, and the acquisition of Hongkong Land shares circulating in the market had come to an end for the time being, and Jardine Matheson shares were not included in this list." Carefully commanded in a deep voice.
When Xiangjiang Land, which controls a large number of prime real estate including Central, really changed owners, the entire Xiangjiang immediately exploded.
Gain's incident clearly tells everyone that the strength of technology stocks is really no worse than that of traditional Haoqiang, and it crushed Hongkong Land, an old company, purely by relying on head-to-head competition.
This has opened the eyes of Xiangjiang people and made a fortune, it turns out that there are many ways, and Tang Huan's Cyberport built in the Hershey East Tsim Sha Tsui Center has a popularity index that is obviously several times more prosperous.
However, people are also wondering why Qinhe has already controlled Hongkong Land, so isn't that equivalent to controlling Jardine Matheson, and why is it still sucking in its shares circulating in the market at a high price.
Enthusiastic volunteer science popularizers, there has never been a few, they quickly sent the answer, it turned out that HSBC suddenly took 20% of the shares of Jardine from Hongkong Land, and the side effects of the chain ship structure were not fully exerted.
However, the non-performing asset structure caused by the close relationship between the two companies still exists, and they have already controlled Hongkong Land's Qinhe and got a mess, so all the contradictions must be resolved by taking Jardine Matheson.
In other words, this battle is not over, everyone still has a chance to make a fortune, but they can't miss the market anymore, and the group of people who choose to exchange shares in Japanese game companies have already made a lot of money.
I have to say that this capital war has taught Xiangjiang a lesson, allowing it to see the wealth myth more than ten years earlier than the 2000 Internet technology bubble in the original time and space.
……
"You're ridiculous." Deng Lijun squinted her eyes and muttered, while patting Tang Huan's back for a while.
"Do you like it?" Tang Huan, who was moving in an orderly manner, pointed to the clouds outside the window.
"I won't tell you." Deng Lijun smiled shyly and scratched the man's thigh a few times.
"If you don't say it, I can guess it, and your body's reaction is the best answer." Tang Huan smiled evilly and sped up the frequency and increased his strength.
……
The experience at an altitude of 10,000 meters is really extraordinary, adding a lot of fun.
If it weren't for the fact that Deng Lijun would face a lot of work after arriving in the United States this time, Tang Huan might have to go all the way.
After determining that the overall situation in Xiangjiang had been decided, Tang Huan got up and rushed to the United States with confidence, just as Deng Lijun was on the way.
In fact. Tang Huan can't leave anymore. When you really eat the land with your strength alone. A new round of peacemakers has emerged, for the sake of the ears and roots. It's better to go back to the U.S. for a while.
And it is said that the outgoing Governor MacLehose of Hong Kong, because of overwork in this matter, some minor strokes, is really a sin.
After arriving in San Francisco, Tang Huan felt the enthusiastic news effect brought by Fisher's salvage company's search for the Titanic, and the Texas oil tycoon Jack Grim, who lost the bet, was not willing to be lonely. While saying that he had lost to the eccentric goddess of luck, he sent $1 million over.
The media waited for Tang Huan to appear, accept this huge amount of money, and then express their thoughts on this matter positively.
"Losing money is so in the limelight, this rich man is really not an ordinary brain." After listening to Tang Wenmao's report, Tang Huan, who had to cooperate, shook his head unhappily.
Since the media is so interested, let's go to the CD-ROM new product launch.
Slightly different from the new product launch in Japan, the San Francisco new product launch event added a new content, which was to show sample drivers and platters with CD-RW technology.
A major technical core of the CD drive. It is the laser head, and the low reflectivity of the laser during the implementation of CD-RW is present. In order to allow a normal CD-ROM to read its burned discs, it has to adopt a MultiRead technology to be compatible.
Fortunately, Tang Huan pointed out the correct direction of research and development, and at present, engineers have made the two-in-one CD-ROM and CD-RW seamlessly connected to the use of discs, especially the latter, which is equivalent to a large floppy disk that supports double speed, that is, 150KB access speed per second, the application prospect is very bright, and the only constraint is the price.
Tang Huan likes to make money in the field of enterprise applications, and CD-RW will undoubtedly be favored by these willing funders.
Woz, who temporarily got rid of work and finished the rest of his studies at the University of California, Berkeley, became interested in 2-in-1 CD-ROM and CD-RW, and personally came to the release site to join in the fun, and said that he and Tang Huan must use this product for the music festival that he is preparing this year.
One of the biggest hobbies of hackers is music, and having their PCs supported by digital music content is a natural favorite, as is Woz.
It's just that the digital content of the CD is not rich now, and the music CD only has Deng Lijun's "Faint Love", the blessing music "MyHeartWillGoOn" launched for Fisher's salvage company to search for the Titanic, and three orchestral songs, as well as the battle song "HeSAPirate" for Qinhe's acquisition of Jardine and Land.
Obviously, Deng Lijun's music occupies an absolute share, and it has become the first song heard by the vast majority of digital music adopters and lovers to enjoy this technological achievement, which can be called an enlightenment teacher.
Watts, who was afraid that his music festival would be deserted, also invited Deng Lijun to be there at that time.
The new product launch in San Francisco, through the discovery of the Titanic's news heat, attracted great attention, but in terms of promoting the product, it has been extremely successful.
What makes Tang Huan happiest is that with "MyHeartWillGoOn", which has steadily risen on the Billboard Top 100 Singles Chart in the United States, Deng Lijun has officially entered the field of vision of ordinary Americans, and many media are asking when her English album will be released.
The subordinates sent by Texas oil tycoon Jack Grim to deliver money were not happy with Tang Huan, and said in his heart that you promised to prepare a grand occasion and accept the bet that my boss lost, but as a result, you only introduced your new products, and even the Chinese female singer was sought after by the media, but I was the only one.
So, this dutiful old man, who couldn't bear it any longer, took the check for $1 million, stepped forward, and said proudly to Tang Huan across the table: "My boss Jack Grim values credit the most, and he specially asked me to send the lost $100 million to you." ”
"I almost forgot about it." After Tang Huan muttered in his heart, he took the check with a smile, glanced at it, and displayed it, "It's really $1 million." ”
The reporters, who also almost forgot about this stubble, quickly raised their cameras, and the instant clicking sound was endless.
"Do I want to ask my lawyer, this kind of behavior is not against the law?" Tang Huan flicked the check and made a joke, which attracted everyone's laughter.
"Perhaps, we can make this more meaningful." When Tang Huan said this, he asked his assistant to bring over the checkbook, and also filled out a check for $1 million, and handed it to Deng Lijun along with Jack Grim's.
"Ms. Tang is a UNICEF-appointed Goodwill Ambassador, and since she happens to be there today, I will entrust Jack Grim's US$1 million and the US$1 million I am following to be donated on her behalf." Tang Huan smiled and put the two checks in Deng Lijun's hands.
Seeing this scene, Jack Grim's subordinates were a little surprised, but as long as he met the boss's request for a certain amount of scenery, he didn't want to make a lot of trouble out of nothing.
After this new product launch conference with a lot of news, Tang Huan ushered in Spielberg, the big director came to show him a special movie, and the movie "E.T. Alien" is basically ready to go.
"How's the catch?" Tang Huan casually asked Lin Qingfang, who had been following the project team.
"It's hard to put into words." Lin Qingfang, who was a little emaciated, was quite emotional.
Tang Huan smiled slightly, and turned his attention to the movie, Gaine was worth millions of dollars per minute according to the box office in his previous life, which was completely worth his attention.
With the support of Tang Huan's D2 and Lucas's Industrial Light & Magic, "E.T. Alien" is more perfect in terms of special effects.
"Losing money is so in the limelight, this rich man is really not an ordinary brain." After listening to Tang Wenmao's report, Tang Huan, who had to cooperate, shook his head unhappily.
Since the media is so interested, let's go to the CD-ROM new product launch.
