Chapter 368: Full Pressure
President Ji'er means that after the acquisition of Merck Biological Research Center, and then make adjustments, the biological company and the biochemical company are separated, and the research center worth more than one billion US dollars can fully meet such needs, and this biological research center also has the background of biochemical research. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ye Qian signaled that she would urge to speed up the acquisition.
"It's okay to adjust the internal distinction, and externally it's still called the Biological Research Center." Zheng Fan leaned back in his chair and seemed to be quite satisfied with the progress made by the acquisition team.
"Also, through the securities market, and over-the-counter equity transactions, we have been fully acquiring the equity of Lockheed Martin, the company's current total market capitalization, is only 17 billion US dollars, the total share capital is about 600 million shares, through on-site and off-market transactions, we have mastered 200 million shares, become the largest shareholder, even if there are some resolute chips difficult to complete the acquisition, we will also complete through delisting compensation, Lockheed Martin's privatization, it is estimated that there will be another month of operation, This arms company will be completely in our possession. Ye Qian said that after speaking, she glanced at Luo Hong.
"Delisting and privatization of Lockheed Martin is not our ultimate goal, accounting for one-third of the annual procurement budget of the US Department of Defense, controlling 40 percent of the world's defense market, and almost all the production and launch of military satellites in the United States, Lockheed Martin can be described as a world-class arms giant, and now we move this company in the capital market, which is estimated to attract a strong backlash from all sides." Zheng Fan pondered and smiled.
"The news media can control it, but the U.S. Department of Defense has warned that once we complete the privatization of Lockheed Martin, we will reconsider the amount of orders we place in the company, and we will not rule out the regulation of the company." Ye Qian is more concerned about the company's subsequent development.
"Privatization still needs to be done, and then we can spin off Lockheed Martin, the aerospace and electronics parts, or let the Ministry of Defense jointly operate in the form of shares, or sell them, and find a new owner, we just need to leave a piece of equity in the spin-off part, and the rest of the ground weapons and basic missile parts, we will completely privatize them and spin them off from Lockheed Martin." Zheng Fan's statement surprised everyone a little.
"Boss, the times are different, do you know that Lockheed Martin's current core business is aviation, electronics, information technology, and aerospace systems, if these core main businesses are lost, even if the spin-off can be sold at a good price, leaving the ground weapons and basic missile parts, it is difficult to shine!" Ye Qian looked at Zheng Fan's gaze, with a sense that he couldn't keep up with the situation.
"Is it just a base missile, and not a ballistic one? If that's the case, it's too late for Lockheed Martin to divest these two deteriorating businesses! Wang Fengqiu didn't understand Zheng Fan's thoughts.
"Tell Ji'er that if you can get the transfer of Lockheed Martin's ground weapons and basic missile business, it doesn't matter if you don't privatize the entire company, now that we have the initiative and the capital to negotiate, we must be flexible in our control, and the most important thing is to achieve the goal." Zheng Fan's willfulness made Ye Qian's face twitch slightly.
"According to what the boss said, those joint controllers of Lockheed Martin and the US Department of Defense are happy, it's too late to get rid of the outdated baggage, and now someone will take over!" Wang Fengqiu secretly sighed in his heart.
"If the boss determines the requirements for the acquisition team, then the situation in the major capital markets can be discussed." Ye Qian was helpless, as long as she handed over the report to Luo Hong and Liu Mingxuan.
If Ye Qian had known that Zheng Fan was for the ground weapons and basic missile parts, he would not have had to go to such great lengths to fight the acquisition war.
Ever since he knew that Zheng Fan wanted to fight Lockheed Martin, Wang Fengqiu thought that he might want to send aerospace and electronic information technology to the mainland, but he didn't expect that at the most critical moment, there would be such a peak.
However, hearing the two assets that Zheng Fan really wanted just now, Wang Fengqiu and Ye Qian were secretly relieved, at least this would make things much easier.
"I'll first introduce the situation of Hong Kong stocks in recent times, Minister Ye Qian's $10 billion fund, in the past three months of the Hang Seng futures index position, as early as three trading days ago, has ended, the average short position cost of 15,300 points, the use of 16 times leverage, opened 1.63 million futures index short positions." Luo Hong first glanced at Ye Qian, and then immediately reported to Zheng Fan.
"Is the current linked exchange rate between the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar still at the level of 7.8?" Zheng Fan asked with a faint smile.
"Although there is no problem with the linked exchange rate for the time being, in the process of gradually converting Hong Kong dollars into US dollars, international travel funds have taken advantage of this wave of Hong Kong dollar liquidity to continue to borrow Hong Kong dollars from local banks in Hong Kong, and have withdrawn a large amount of Hong Kong dollars from the financial system, and they have begun to short Hong Kong dollars!" Ye Qian revealed the excellent color road.
"I borrowed a huge amount of Hong Kong dollars from banks and shorted them through the foreign exchange market, so that once the linked exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar collapsed, not only did I not need to pay back much money, many banks in Hong Kong would collapse and spread to the entire financial market." Zheng Fan's eyes narrowed slightly.
"The central bank of the mainland and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, as early as a week ago, hoped that we would no longer exchange US dollars, resulting in a flood of liquidity in a short period of time in Hong Kong dollars, but because the boss did not go to the company, until now, we are still continuing, and almost all of them have been converted." Ye Qian meant that if there was a big problem in Hong Kong's financial market, Zheng Fan would also bear part of the responsibility.
"Hong Kong stocks have now begun to fall, today is another Black Monday, the Hang Seng Index fell more than 700 points, from the peak of about 16,820 points half a month ago, to now it is 14,345 points, and the successive declines have exceeded more than 2,000 points." Luo Hong continued to report.
"Seven or eight hundred points of decline is indeed not small, but this should be just the beginning, are there any other situations?" Zheng Fan yawned.
"In the case of our short Hang Seng Futures Index, the choice of international speculators is also very clear, they are short stock and index options on the one hand, on the other hand, they have invested heavily in the foreign exchange market, and I found through the disk that after we stop shorting and opening positions, international speculators have continued to follow the trend of shorting Hang Seng Index futures, and it seems that there is no goal, and they will still sell short." Luo Hong is not optimistic about Hong Kong's economy.
"The stock market has fallen in less than a week, it has been a river of blood, the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission said that when the stock market reached a relatively high point, most of the people who sold stocks were international speculators, while the investment institutions in the mainland and Hong Kong were still optimistic about the market, and they were taking over at a high level. Liu Mingxuan sighed with a smile.
"No matter who lives or dies, it doesn't matter much to us, isn't there a good saying? Investment is risky, you need to be cautious when entering the market, and it is better to be responsible for yourself than to meddle in other people's affairs. The corners of Zheng Fan's mouth turned up, and he didn't mean to take responsibility at all.
"Then Minister Ye Qian's short position in Hang Seng Index futures, what position should be held at the bottom in order to take profits?" Luo Hong couldn't make up her mind and confirmed to Zheng Fan.
"Let's wait until the Hang Seng Index breaks 8,000 points."
Zheng Fan's decision made Ye Qian and everyone gasp.
In Luo Hong's view, the Hang Seng Index is still above 14,000 points, and it is very reluctant to see through 10,000, let alone 8,000 points.
"No wonder those international speculators, desperately hit the Asian economy, the profits in it, enough to make people crazy, if the stock market is not good, Hong Kong's capital market, is really dangerous, these days because of the decline in the stock market, Hong Kong real estate reaction is more violent, a round of selling tide of investment real estate is coming, but no one below to take over, in order to get rid of investment real estate, even if the house price shows a step down, it is difficult to find buyers." Wang Fengqiu only reminded in passing.
"In addition, the current import and export situation is also very poor, because of the impact of the financial turmoil, Asia's import and export trade with Europe and the United States has shown a follow-up negative feedback, far from it, just Hong Kong Customs, the collateral for European and American import and export trade, has risen to twice the value of trade goods, and the tide of bankruptcy of trading companies has now begun!" Ye Qian's expression was already very solemn at this time.
"Currency instability will affect trade settlements, and once trade is blocked, risk exposure will shift to manufacturing, this economic chain reaction, almost a dead cycle, Hong Kong's manufacturing industry is relatively developed, and there is a huge trade volume, it is difficult to withstand such a comprehensive pressure!" Zheng Fan just shook his head.
"Although there are no statistics, if this trend continues to develop, I am worried that it will be difficult to support this situation by relying on the mainland's foreign exchange reserves alone." Ye Qian seems to want Zheng Fan to save the city.
"I think that the mainland has not yet used its foreign exchange reserves, but is relying on Hong Kong's own economic heritage to maintain, and international speculators are obviously powerful, if they simply take out foreign exchange reserves to fight, they will naturally not be able to bear it, but this is not something we should care about." Zheng Fan looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and he hung it high.
"According to what the boss said, isn't Hong Kong's economy going to be completely finished?" Ye Qian seemed very concerned.
"In the past, Hong Kong must not be able to hold on, but now that it has returned, it is not easy to say, the mainland's most ruthless capital market means, not to follow the principle of free trading of capital, but to combine policies, in such a policy market, there are too many uncertain factors, ordinary people simply can't play." When Zheng Fan said that, he didn't have the heart to laugh out loud.
