Chapter 017 [Paramount Company]
On Friday, taking advantage of the fact that he could be a little lazy, Lin Zuhui came to the foreign exchange department of HSBC and deposited 700,000 Hong Kong dollars into his foreign exchange account.
Account manager Li Hongming received him in the office, Li Hongming felt that Lin Zuhui was quite mysterious, and he was very calm at a young age, could it be that he was the young master of which family?
Lin Zuhui didn't care about Li Hongming's thoughts, he found that he was about to seize that opportunity by hand-drawing the USD/JPY curve.
It turned out that USD/JPY rose to a maximum of 249 points during the week, and then began to fall again, and is now 247 points; According to his forecast, in two weeks it will be the buying point, which means that it may fall to 241 points in two weeks.
Calculating the time, it should be the beginning of November, so it will be completely smooth.
Starting at around 241 in early November, it climbed towards the yen's highest value in the next four decades before reaching 262.
"Lin Sheng, do you need me to help you pay attention to the location so that I can notify you at any time?"
Lin Zuhui shook his head and said, "I'll look at it for a while, after all, I haven't done foreign exchange before!" ”
"Makes sense! In fact, Lin Sheng can consider that the leverage is smaller, and the risk will be smaller. ”
"It doesn't have to be! I'm a person who likes to be clean and clean, and I don't usually do it often. Because I believe that not every time you get lucky, not every time you invest. ”
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Zuhui got up to say goodbye, leaving Li Hongming with an incomprehensible expression.
"Could it be a master?"
.......
Back in the office building, Fang Jin found Lin Zuhui and said, "Big guy, is this really no problem?" According to the general process, we have to hire at least a professional team of lawyers, appraisal agents, and financial teams to join our team. What's wrong with this Wanyi Lemen company, we can't offend people and don't say it, I'm afraid there will be trouble! ”
Of course Lin Zuhui knew this, but he wanted to empty the gloves of the white wolf.
In other words, before receiving the buyer's deposit, he will not take the risk of hiring a fourth-party agency (a third party with great wisdom). He was worried that this business was not suitable for him and Fang Jin, but the lawyers, appraisals, and finances had already incurred expenses, so wouldn't it be a loss of hundreds of thousands in vain.
Of course, he was not taking a risk, because he knew that Paramount was no problem, and there was absolutely no problem with backdoor listing. Historically, after Zheng Jinghan introduced Playboy in 1986 and founded his own weekly "Sunday Series", he went public through Paramount that year, and later became Paramount Group. Before this, Zhan Peizhong should have cultivated the shell of Paramount as a listed company, and then sold it to Zheng Jinghan at a high price, changing hands for tens of millions of profits.
Based on this answer, he can first find the buyer, and after the buyer pays the deposit, the company will hire a lawyer, an audit team, and a financial team.
In short, without the great wisdom of capital, you can only rely on flickering!
But even if he didn't have the foresight, it was still an operation. At most, after the buyer pays the deposit, he will hire a fourth-party agency, and if he finds that Paramount has a problem, he can re-search the shell or remedy it.
"Don't worry! Paramount has no problem, those will wait until we get the deposit. Besides, we don't have a team, so let's make do with it! ”
Fang Jin nodded, he actually felt that the hope of success was very great, especially the confidence of the big guy was also passed on to him.
Since Fang Jin was so worried, Lin Zuhui planned not to delay, and said: "You go and make an appointment with the major shareholder of Paramount, and when the time comes, the two of us will persuade him to sell his shares and introduce a new owner!" ”
Fang Jin was surprised, saw Lin Zuhui's confident expression, and said, "The big guy taught me how to convince others!" ”
Lin Zuhui nodded, after all, the main force of the negotiation was Fang Jin, he was very good-mouthed, and what he lacked was creativity and ideas.
And Lin Zuhui himself doesn't want to be too strong, he is still 2 months short of being 19 years old.
And it is conceivable that after this business is completed, the fame of Great Wisdom will definitely play a loud slogan in Xiangjiang; Many business tycoons will pay attention, it turns out that the securities market can still be played like this?
After talking to Fang Jin for a while, the more he listened, the brighter his eyes became, and finally he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Big guy, you're such a genius! With this kind of persuasion, there is no possibility that the major shareholders of Paramount will not agree! ”
Lin Zuhui nodded confidently!
Of course, this move can not only make the current major shareholders profitable, but also allow the new shareholders to buy at the lowest price, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
In this kind of transaction, the difficulties are manifold, as long as one party does not do a good job, there is a high possibility of waiting for a few years or not succeeding.
For example, if an ordinary person goes up directly to the major shareholder of Paramount and says: I want to buy the Paramount stock in your hand.
Paramount's major shareholder will say, "Okay, take 40% of the premium!" ”
Or someone else says, "I have feelings for this company, and I want to take some of the stocks!" ”
The first answer is that the buyer will pay more for nothing, so what is the difference between that and the acquisition? Moreover, that kind of acquisition method is inconvenient to reorganize assets and inject assets, to put it bluntly, there is no shell.
In the second answer, the seller also wants to keep some shares, or even become a second shareholder; If you sell less, the new shareholder will not be able to become a major shareholder; If you sell too much, the seller is not happy.
Therefore, the preciousness of Lin Zuhui's experience in his previous life came out, because he had a strategy for both.
.....
Paramount is a company that went public in 1972, at that time it was called Paramount Restaurant, at that time the listing conditions were relaxed, as long as there were 20 million assets, and then give some shares to the directors of the exchange, you can easily go public.
Because of this, Xiangjiang was listed with 93 companies that year, while the entire market expanded by nearly doubling the size of the previous 100 listed companies.
The next step was the 'big stock market crash', and the Hong Kong government also strengthened the difficulty of listing and strengthened the management of the securities market.
Xu Youzhi, the chairman of Paramount, is a little old man in his 50s, how high-spirited he was back then, and after the listing, he used the 20 million funds raised to continue to invest in catering, so he escaped the stock market crash and the real estate crash, laying the foundation for the later development of the company.
However, in 1976, after the real estate market became hot again, Xu Youzhi could no longer control it; After all, every company is investing in real estate, and he is no exception, and the investment is still crazy; Paramount thus became an investment company, and in the past few years, it was also powerful, and the company's net assets were as high as 300 million Hong Kong dollars, with a market value of 500 million Hong Kong dollars.
As a result, how high you climb, how badly you fall.
In 1982, when the Sino-British negotiations began, real estate plummeted, and then Paramount was forced by the bank to sell the property it bought back at a high price at a low price. I thought that the real estate slump was a year, but I didn't expect that it has not recovered in two years, and Paramount is naturally on the verge of liquidation.
The beautiful little secretary walked into the chairman's office with a coquettish model step, and said in a coquettish voice: "Chairman, the two bosses of Great Wisdom Investment Company have come!" ”
Xu Youzhi wanted to flirt with the little secretary, but when he heard the 'Great Wisdom Investment Company', he was in no mood at once.
"Take them to the conference room, me and the general manager will be here soon!"
It is naturally a good thing that there are fools who buy at a high price!
Today's Paramount catering business is sluggish, and there are still some valuable properties, but now the real estate is sluggish, and the bank is still forced to repay the money; So for a long time, Paramount stock has been running for a few millimeters, and now it has been lying still at six millimeters.
If the premium is higher, I will sell it, and I will be able to retire for the elderly, and I can travel abroad with my secretary, and I can relax.
