Thursday, February 14.

I also have to go to work on Valentine's Day, this is what Lin Zuhui said to Guan Jiahui in the morning.

Of course, it might be possible to leave work early.

When I came to Wanhui Publishing House in the morning, the staff greeted them warmly, and everyone's spirit was very good, and it is estimated that there are two reasons:

First, the news that the company will issue a total of 200,000 year-end bonuses to all employees this year has been released, and it will be paid together with wages tomorrow; This is undoubtedly good news for everyone who has only been in the company for two months.

Second, the sales of "Gang of Men" have climbed again, and they have approached 70,000 copies, growing up in the 'adversity', and of course, there are reasons why another 500,000 advertising dollars were spent.

The sales of "Gang of Men" determine the income of everyone in the company, so every employee of Wanhui Publishing House has a sense of responsibility and pays his own efforts.

When I came to my office, I had a copy of the eighth issue of "Gang of Men" on my desk, and the "Gang Girl" was the new jade girl - Wang Zuxian.

Wang Zuxian can become the eighth 'gang girl' of "Gang of Men", or Shaw Brothers Films took the initiative to promote it, because Wang Zuxian has a movie released on the 19th of this month, and he wants to promote it in "Gang of Men".

At this time, "Gang of Men" was very famous, with millions of advertising fees every month, and inviting Hong Kong actresses would naturally not be rejected and asked for remuneration; Not only that, many actresses began to take the initiative to contact "Gang of Men", hoping to become "Gang Girls".

It's a pity that none of them took the initiative to ask themselves out for dinner, Lin Zuhui secretly scolded these actresses for 'not knowing how to lift'; after his youth campus magazine "GOOD" came out, he had to ask for a 'benefit fee' for his favorite actresses.

Just as Lin Zuhui fell into the beautiful 'memories' with the stars, the phone on the table rang.

"Hey"

"Big guy, big guy, something big is wrong!"

"You were bitten?"

"It's not a big guy, it's a 'Khoo Teck Puat Consortium', which advertises in the newspapers: it has purchased 14% of Wheelock shares from the Madden family, and now it is starting to fully acquire Wheelock shares from other shareholders; The bid price is HK$6.2 for A shares and 6.2 for B shares. ”

Wheelock shares are the only listed company in Heung Kong with AB shares, and the price difference between A shares and B shares is 10 times, but the votes are the same.

At that time, Wheelock's Madden family thought of this trick, and the bigwigs of listed companies in Hong Kong were shocked and immediately wanted to follow Wheelock to set up an AB-share system, including Li Chaoren's Cheung Kong Industrial.

How can this work, everyone is doing this, isn't the Xiangjiang stock market chaotic; As a result, the Hong Kong government urgently called a halt, and everyone did not succeed. However, Wheelock, which has already implemented AB shares, has become a fish that has slipped through the net.

"Calm down, isn't it 6.2 Hong Kong dollars per share, can you make a little profit!" Lin Zuhui said calmly.

"Eun, I listen to the big guy."

Hearing Lin Zuhui's calm tone, Fang Jin was also relieved.

You must know that Great Wisdom Investment Company invested 19 million yuan to buy Wheelock, and the cost price is only 4.3 Hong Kong dollars, and according to the current purchase price, they have obtained 40% of the profit.

The big guy deserves to be the big guy, and this investment consciousness is simply beating the shareholders of Hong Kong.

Lin Zuhui said on the phone: "Don't care so much, Qiu De can't get Huidefeng." It's just a dragon crossing the river, Xiangjiang doesn't know how many land snakes, and it's the turn of the Nanyang Consortium to challenge. ”

Khoo Teck Puat ranks second among the Chinese billionaires in Sing Tao, second only to the Ng Teng Fong family, with family assets of nearly 10 billion.

"Yes"

Putting down the phone, Lin Zuhui showed a smug smile, he could finally witness a acquisition war.

Not only can you witness, but you can also participate.

.......

The Wheelock war is about to break out, and some smart shareholders will not hand over their chips to Qiu Teck Puat at the first time, but there are also some fools who hand them over, but it will not affect the overall situation.

Originally.

If it weren't for the Wheelock War, most Xiangjiang people would not know that the largest shareholder of Wheelock is actually the Zhang Yuliang family.

Zhang Yuliang's father, Zhang Zhushan, started his business with Western medicine (the Korean War made war money, so he later invested all in Australia), and got involved in real estate in the late 50s. In 1962, Zhang Zhushan's fourth son, Zhang Yuliang, built two buildings with family funds - the Federal Building and the International Building (the two buildings were sold for 2.3 billion yuan in 1981), which shows how rich the family is. At that time, none of the four major families could compare to the Zhang family.

At that time, there was only one British-funded stock exchange in Hong Kong, and it was difficult for Chinese companies to be listed; Zhang Yuliang decided to go public through a backdoor listing, and he exchanged the Federal Building and the International Building for a 77% stake in the Madden family's Federal Real Estate.

From 1970 to 1972, Zhang Yuliang exchanged some shares and a large number of properties in Federal Real Estate for shares in Wheelock of the Madden family; At its peak, Zhang Yuliang owned 40% of Wheelock, while the Madden family had less than 20%.

But Cheung has always kept a low profile, serving only as a director of Wheelock, and the Madden family as chairman and president.

The Zhang family is listed on the backdoor, as long as its meat (real), regardless of its shell (name); This personality is diametrically opposed to the Madden family, where little Madden has been hollowed out as long as his shell, regardless of his flesh.

Because of this, the Madden family never felt that Zhang Yuliang was a threat.

In 1980, he built Wheelock House, and his property trust had enough funds to build it on his own. But he invited major real estate developers to participate, and the largest shareholder is the Zhang family.

In other words, the money in the hands of the little Madden could have built one building, but he preferred to build ten buildings; As for the proportion of equity, he doesn't care at all, what he cares about is that these ten buildings nominally belong to the Madden family.

......

This time, the Madden family quietly transferred their shares to Qiu Depu, without saying hello to the board of directors, Zhang Yuliang was afraid that he would be angry: I am a major shareholder of Wheelock, and I have a lot of power, how can you do such a big thing behind my back?

At this time, Zhang Yuliang held 34% of Wheelock's equity, which is logically very stable;

However, Khoo Teck Puat launched a full takeover, which means that when the stake reaches 51%, the acquisition can be declared successful.

A general takeover is not a privatization, and it only takes more than 50% to declare victory and become chairman of the board.

Then again, Zhang Yuliang holds a 34% stake, and if he wants to repel the Khoo Teck Puat consortium, he only needs to buy 17% of Wheelock's shares, which is relatively easy.

After all, Khoo Teck Puat has only a 14% stake.

But unfortunately, like the Madden family, the Zhang family also wants to fade out of Hong Kong and invest overseas.

So, how could they come up with the funds to fully acquire Wheelock.

As for selling to Qiu Depua, it is even more impossible, and there is no such way to play in the acquisition war.

Zhang Yuliang can only find foreign aid to take over his shares, and emphasizes that foreign aid must defeat Qiu Depu, this must be a strong player; He is not familiar with the charter boat king, but he is very familiar with Li Chaoren, so he must find Li Chaoren.
