Text: Chapter 406, Hutchison Whampoa

What is the matter with Shen Bi, the big boss of HSBC, looking for himself, in fact, Lei Weidong can also guess one or two, probably because of the matter of Hutchison Whampoa.

Some time ago, Lei Weidong told Chen Jie that they had acquired part of Hutchison Whampoa's shares, and so far they have acquired almost 5% of the shares from the stock market.

This means that Lei Weidong is already a shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, and he can enter the board of directors to make his voice heard!

It's just that Lei Weidong's acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa shares interrupted a person's wishful thinking, and that person was Li Chaoren.

In 1978, Li Chaoren attacked another old British-funded real estate group Wharf, because the news was leaked, the Jardine Matheson Company behind Wharf fought back with all its might, resulting in the failure of the acquisition and the loss of a piece of big fat, which is a great pity

Therefore, the secrecy measures for the purchase of Hutchison Whampoa are extremely strict, and there is no news leakage in the market, and the acquisition negotiations are about to be completed.

Lei Weidong, the new richest man in Hong Kong, suddenly acquired a large number of Hutchison Whampoa shares, which naturally made Li Chao and HSBC extremely nervous......

Now that the deal between Li Chaoren and HSBC on Hutchison Whampoa has reached the final stage, if Lei Weidong buys a large number of Hutchison Whampoa shares, it will definitely push up the share price of Hutchison Whampoa, which will adversely affect the transaction

After all, Li Chaoren's acquisition of HSBC's Hutchison Whampoa equity is based on the performance of the outstanding shares to set a premium, even if the stock price only rises by one dollar, he will pay hundreds of millions of additional acquisition costs.

What's more troublesome is that the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa has risen sharply, which is likely to trigger all kinds of speculation, thus revealing Li Chaoren's acquisition intentions, and causing a backlash from those shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa.

Because although Hutchison Whampoa's stock price is sluggish, its market value is still much higher than Li Chaoren's assets, which exceed 6 billion Hong Kong dollars, while Li Chaoren's Cheung Kong is only 700 million Hong Kong dollars.

Li Chaoren wants to use 700 million Cheung Kong to acquire 6 billion Hutchison Whampoa.

It's simply greedy enough to swallow an elephant, and if it causes a backlash from Hutchison Whampoa, maybe he will die before he swallows it.

What scared Li Chaoren and Shen Bi the most was that if Lei Weidong's intention to acquire Hutchison Whampoa's shares this time was just to make money, then why not, if Lei Weidong still wanted to invest in Hutchison Whampoa, it would be troublesome.

You must know that Lei Weidong is now the richest man in Hong Kong, not to mention the billions of dollars behind his back, even on the surface, he is worth two billion US dollars, and the total market value of the entire Hutchison Whampoa is only a few billion Hong Kong dollars, about one billion US dollars.

With Lei Weidong's strength, he can enter Hutchison Whampoa Company strongly, and he does not need the help of HSBC.

This is a situation that Shen Bi of HSBC does not want to see.

Because the reason why HSBC sold the shares of Hutchison Whampoa was not to make money.

HSBC's purpose is to find a person who can develop and grow Hutchison Whampoa, which is more in the interest of HSBC.

Through long-term observation, HSBC has selected Li Ka-shing as the successor of Hutchison Whampoa, and the negotiations have already touched on the core issues.

At this time, if there is any accident, it will be troublesome, and it will affect the layout of HSBC!

In this way, in the face of Lei Weidong's halfway kill, Shen Bi and Li Chaoren decided to talk to Lei Weidong face-to-face in person to see what Lei Weidong meant.

The golf club in Deep Water Bay is a gathering place for the noble Chinese in Hong Kong.

Because the higher royal golf courses are basically the private territory of the British, outsiders can't enter!

Therefore, the slightly inferior Deep Water Bay Golf Course has become a gathering place for Chinese tycoons.

The blue sky here is cloudy, the green lawn is like a soft carpet that makes people relax, coupled with the beautiful waiter chirping on the side, the sexy miniskirt, and the skin that is blown and broken, it looks really pleasing to the eye.

The grass has probably just been carefully trimmed, and standing on the intoxicating lawn with the smell of green grass, I can't help but feel relaxed and happy, and I feel like a prancing horse swing.

The well-textured costumes, the standard and elegant movements, everything seemed so harmonious, and after the ball was hit, it should have provoked a round of applause, but unfortunately, none of the people standing around applauded at this time.

If it is a stranger, he will definitely think that the character of the person who plays is too bad, so no one wants to cheer him up, but in fact, it is not that the character of the person who plays is too bad, but that their playing accuracy is not too good.

The small white ball flew up in the air, and then fell down regularly under the gaze of everyone.

It's missed, and it's far away!

The waitress who was standing on the side and was in charge of picking up the ball couldn't help but sigh at this time, and she was also puzzled in her heart.

She knew that the two VIPs playing in front of her were not ordinarily good.

But I don't know what's going on today, and none of the balls that have played so many strokes have made it hole-in-one, which has embarrassed countless powerful people who have attracted them to compete for each other.

It is estimated that these two guests are really in a bad state today, which makes many people who come to be afraid of the horse's fart shoot the horse's hooves.

She clearly remembered that early this morning, when these two people came to play, their bosses came in person, and at the moment when the foreigner swung gracefully, the boss was the first to take the lead in applauding.

Of course, the boss's applause was too warm, and a little ahead, because at that time, although this foreigner had an elegant posture, the result was embarrassing, and the posture was full of strength and accuracy, the only regret was that the small ball passed by the edge of the hole, and it did not enter the hole at all.

At that time, this man looked calm, but his boss looked nervous, just like a dead father, and the beads of sweat were down!

You say that the boss has done a good deed, and you applaud and applaud, and it is normal to express your worship of the master; But what if it's the boss's unintentional act that makes a failed act? You're still applauding? That's a bit of schadenfreude!

For the next hour or so, as the two guests continued to play, no one dared to cheer anymore!

Because the accuracy of these two today is really poor, even if the blind cat encounters a dead mouse, there is almost no chance, so that his big boss finally has to find an excuse to leave.

It is estimated that the boss may laugh if you look at it again, that foreigner is the big boss of HSBC, and if you offend HSBC in this area of Hong Kong, it will be troublesome.

"Hasn't Lei Weidong come over yet?"

After Shen Bi and the service lady laughed a few words, he walked towards a rest place not far away with a hint of anger, and the middle-aged man who was playing ball with him also followed Shen Bi all the way to the resting sun umbrella.

"It should be almost there, according to the doorman, Lei Weidong has just entered the stadium!" The middle-aged man took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"You say, what does that little guy Lei Weidong mean! Why the sudden acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa's shares! ”

Li Chaoren's gaze seemed to be looking at the waitress in a miniskirt walking around in front of him, but his expression was a little heavy.

Whether or not Hutchison Whampoa can be annexed this time is a big test for Li Chaoren, and whether he can become a person who resists the Ding Ding in Hong Kong's economic circles from an ordinary Hong Kong tycoon depends on this opportunity.

"I don't understand this, he's always so mysterious." Shen Bi shook his head and said:

"It's been a few years since I met Lei Weidong, but I haven't seen through him, although he is now the richest man in Hong Kong, but ......."

"Lei Weidong's success is incredible!"

Shen Bi shook his head and said: "To be honest, I still can't believe that Lei Weidong can make so much money just drawing comics and making toys that he can easily become the richest man in Hong Kong, and he is not the richest man on the surface!" ”

"I don't understand this either! Maybe the ability of those industries to create wealth is not what we can imagine! Li Chaoren smiled bitterly.

Although Li Chaoren is known as the superman of the business world, and he has made his first pot of gold on plastic flowers, the industries that really make him rise are still traditional industries such as construction and retail.

Li Chaoren has no in-depth contact with the two industries of comics and toys, and he can't understand the mystery!

This was also in the late seventies, and if it were twenty or thirty years later, Li Chaoren would not have said that.

After all, the technological boom of the late twentieth century gave birth to a large number of tech tycoons.

These tycoons have subverted the situation that the traditional industry has to be accumulated through several generations, and often a person has earned unimaginable wealth after more than ten years or even a few years of hard work.

Among them, Apple's Steve Jobs, Microsoft's Uncle Bill, Google's Page and Brin, and Facebook's Zuckerberg are all representatives.

The achievements of these young people in their twenties and thirties can be said to make the older generation of entrepreneurs ashamed.

"Shen Dong, Mr. Li!" Lei Weidong wore a caddie uniform and walked over with a golf club, knowing that the richest man in Hong Kong was coming, but he didn't know that he thought it was the rich man's little follower picking up the ball!

"Lei Shao! What a rarity! It's not easy to meet you! Li Chaoren said with a smile:

"I haven't congratulated you on becoming the richest man in Hong Kong, I'm still working for others when you're so old!"

"What's the point of that ranking!" Lei Weidong pursed his lips and responded:

"Not to mention those invisible rich people in Hong Kong, they are the top ten riches in Hong Kong, which one's assets do not exceed mine, the so-called ranking is to coax the people, it can't be taken seriously!"

"You can't say that, Lei Shao, the top ten giants have a lot of hidden wealth, but they don't have billions of dollars!" Li Chaoren smiled and said:

"What's more, you are not yet 16 years old, and it is only a matter of time before you become the number one wealthy family in Hong Kong, but Lei Shao, I must remind you that you can't be unrestrained in terms of women because you are young, so as not to regret it when you are old!"
