Chapter 34 Acquisition Plan
Zhang Feilu spoke standard Yanjing Mandarin, which was particularly harsh in the Cantonese-filled hall, but Zhong Shi knew in his heart that this was Zhang Feilu's courtship to him.
It is important to know that Huayin Hong Kong is a financial institution affiliated to Huaxia Bank, and most of its senior executives in Hong Kong were dispatched by Yanjing, even after the merger of Huayin Hong Kong and several other branches of mainland banks in Hong Kong to form Huayin International and become a legally independent institution, the transfer of its personnel department still needs the approval of Huaxia Bank on Yanjing's side.
Counting the previous HSBC, the heads of the three note-issuing banks in Hong Kong have all visited Jong Shek, and even a fool should understand that Jong Rock must be a great big man.
Zhao Jiajie was completely dumbfounded at this moment, and he was also shocked along with the few sons and brothers who had been following him, if there was a gap in front of them at this time, I am afraid they would not hesitate to get in.
"Mr. Zhong, I wonder if you are interested in taking care of our business in Huayin Hong Kong?" Zhang Feilu respectfully handed Zhong Shi a business card with both hands and said solemnly.
He and Zeng Yuanshuang didn't know that the real person in charge of the Zhong family was right in front of them. They all agreed that the person who had amassed such a large fortune in just a few years was the favorite of the United States, not the young man in front of him. However, for such an opportunity to win over the relationship, the bankers will definitely not miss it, after all, according to their analysis, Zhong Shi will be the second person in the Zhong family.
"There is a business at the moment, so I wonder if Huayin Hong Kong is interested?" Zhong Shi's mind moved slightly. I couldn't help but blurt out.
Like his current net worth, if he doesn't invest in the real economy, he basically can't deal with the banks, except for using their brokerage department, and he has to store the money with them. But now that he is determined to support his uncle, he needs to have a name to invest in the mainland, although he can use the name of an offshore company, but he has an extreme lack of management talent, which will be a major factor in balancing his development.
The quickest way to solve this problem is to acquire a fully structured company. Experienced management is then dispatched to the joint venture company in the mainland. In this way, a complete company can be built in the shortest possible time.
Zhong Shi's idea has not appeared for a day or two, and it is only with the opportunity of today that he said it. In the eyes of Liao Xiaohua and Zeng Yuanshuang, this kind of blurting out that they want to acquire a listed company is tantamount to child's play, but Zhong Shi knows it. This is just the first step in his investment in the mainland.
"Oh? I don't know what a big move is. We at Bank of China (Hong Kong) will definitely give full financial support. The expression on Zhang Feilu's face was stunned. Then he smiled happily, he didn't expect to say it so casually and take over a business.
By virtue of his identity. It is not too much to say that "full financial support will be given", in fact, Chinese-funded banks have this bad problem, that is, they are not afraid of bankruptcy at all, because these people know very well in their hearts that even if there are many bad debts, there will be state finances to pay for them.
During the real estate crisis on Nanhai Island in 93 years, a large number of banks and enterprises came to Nanhai Island to speculate on the land of one acre and three points, but the bubble burst later, and the banks left Nanhai Island with a large number of bad debts and chicken feathers, and finally all the bad debts of these banks were paid by the state. The funniest thing is that those bank executives with a lot of bad debts were later promoted to varying degrees, while the management of the banks that withdrew from the South China Sea Island in time were not as good as them in terms of promotion.
Zeng Yuanshuang, who was standing on the sidelines and silently watching, did not speak, she did not dare to make such a guarantee, because if Standard Bank suffered huge losses, the British government would definitely let it "die a natural death", because most of its business was concentrated in Africa and Asia, and even if it went bankrupt, it would not have much impact on the British financial system.
However, Zhong Shi does not intend to leave Standard Bank behind, he knows very well that Standard Bank has been doing business in the South American market much earlier than the other two, and he will soon make a big move in the capital market of South America, and may have to borrow the brokerage channel of Standard Bank at that time.
"I plan to acquire the property of this childe family, and I would like to ask the investment banking department of Standard Bank as my financial advisor, and Huayin Hong Kong will provide financial support, what do you think?" Zhong Shi looked at Zeng Yuanshuang and Zhang Feilu, and said word by word.
Zeng Yuanshuang and Zhang Feilu glanced at each other and looked at each other. Zhang Feilu wanted to slap himself at the moment, but he just said casually, which actually attracted so many follow-ups, which made him feel a little cryless without tears.
Standard Chartered Bank is okay, but their investment banking department provides financial advisory business, and once the takeover offer is issued, Huayin Hong Kong will provide relevant financial support, not to mention how much money the Zhong family has now, let's just say that there are three listed companies controlled by the Zhao family, with a total market value of nearly 10 billion, and the funds required for such a large acquisition activity are absolutely sky-high.
Hong Kong's law stipulates that the threshold for disclosure of large shareholdings in the acquisition of listed companies is 10%, which means that once you hold more than 10% of the shares in the stock market, you must explain the purpose to the public, otherwise it is a violation. After the purpose is disclosed, a takeover offer should be made to the party to be acquired, commonly known as "raising a card", and the acquisition should be completed within the validity period of the offer, and the withdrawal of the offer is generally not allowed. Prior to the announcement of the tender offer, the Exchange may be required to approve the suspension of the listing of the Shares.
Zhang Feilu secretly complained in his heart, but how could he take back what he had just said, he was in a dilemma for a while.
Zhong Shi, who was on the side, observed coldly, this was an opportunity he gave to Huayin Hong Kong, if Zhang Feilu repented on the spot, Huayin Hong Kong would not want to receive any business from him in the future, and even the investment banking department of Huayin International would not want to get any business from him.
After weighing it in his heart for a long time, Zhang Feilu finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Mr. Zhong is really good at laughing, we at Huayin Hong Kong don't want to destroy the current good situation of stability and prosperity, so we won't get involved in this matter, right?" ”
In fact, it was not until 02 that Bank of China Hong Kong launched investment banking business and actively expanded other businesses off the balance sheet.
In fact, it was not until 95 that the first real investment bank was born in the mainland, and before that, most of the M&A business was carried out by foreign investment banks as financial advisers.
"Really?" Zhong Shi said with a smile, with no dissatisfaction on his face, "Since this is the case, I will not force it." Then I'll leave the business to Standard Chartered, and in addition to that, I'll be depositing the main funds into Standard Chartered Bank and investing through your global network, which is expected to be the amount of money. As he spoke, he held up his two index fingers and made a cross.
Zeng Yuanshuang, who had been silent for a long time, was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Xiexie's love, we at Standard Chartered will fully support your acquisition." ”
She also thought that Zhong Shi's funds were calculated in Hong Kong dollars, and one billion Hong Kong dollars was enough to acquire 20% of the shares of the flagship company of the Zhao consortium, plus leverage and other factors, it was enough to acquire shares that could control the management rights.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that what Zhong Shi was talking about was one billion US dollars, which would be more than seven billion dollars in Hong Kong dollars, and she could even completely privatize the company and withdraw from the stock market.
"In addition, there are two more things. The first is that I don't think I can use this business card, so Mr. Zhang should take it back! Zhong Shi took out the business card that had not been hot for a long time, and handed it to Zhang Feilu, who had an ugly face.
"......" Zhang Feilu took back the business card with great embarrassment, glanced around at the people around him, and found that all those looking at him were a playful expression, which made his face even more difficult to see. He snorted, then walked away with a blank face.
"There is a second thing, that is, what does the business under the name of this Zhao Gongzi family do?" Zhong Shi looked at Zhang Feilu's departure coldly, sneered disdainfully, then turned his head and asked Zeng Yuanshuang with some confusion.
"......" This time it was Zeng Yuanshuang's turn to be speechless. She never expected that after discussing for a long time, the Mr. Zhong in front of her didn't even figure out what others were doing, and actually talked about the acquisition with his mouth shut.
In a trance, she actually had a feeling that she was going to faint. Who the hell is this, is it extremely nervous or confident? If she hadn't known that the Zhong family had at least a billion dollars in funds, I'm afraid that now she would have wanted to be like the one from Huayin Hong Kong just now, and immediately withdraw.
"The flagship business of the Zhao family is mainly engaged in real estate, and there are two other companies in shipping and transportation, both of which are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and the total market value is expected to be no more than 10 billion, whether Mr. Zhong intends to acquire them all, or ......" After experiencing the initial shock, Zeng Yuanshuang quickly came back to her senses, and after taking a deep look at Zhao Jiajie, who had stood next to him for a long time without a chance to speak, she said to Zhong Shi in detail.
"Ten billion......" Zhong Shi thought for a moment, and then nodded thoughtfully, "Haode, I know, you have planned the specific acquisition of Jihua, go to Repulse Bay to find me, I believe you also know where I live." ”
Zhong Shi's reaction was seen by Zeng Yuanshuang, and she was a little sure. People who can calmly hear that they have tens of billions of assets and have not changed the original intention of the acquisition will definitely not be a neurotic.
Zeng Yuanshuang nodded, smiled apologetically at the group of sons and buddies standing beside Zhong Shi, and then left with a smile on his face. From beginning to end, she didn't have anything with these sons! Let's say a polite word. (To be continued......)
