Chapter 211: [Public Opinion Battle]

The Kadoorie family spread a number of rumours in the market, and Lin Zuhui quickly responded to them in the "Daily Daily" and "Economic Daily" under Wanhui Media.

At this time, the "Economic Daily" has been published for nearly two months, with sales of about 40,000 copies, and Lin Zuhui's requirements have been preliminarily met.

is still the female reporter from last time, but this time the questions are all set by Lin Zuhui.

Q: "Is it because Cathay Pacific City has swept the market that the stock price of Grand Hotel has skyrocketed in the past week?" ”

A: "Cathay City does intend to increase its stake to 34 per cent, which makes sense, given that there is not much difference between 31 per cent and 34 per cent, and Cathay City is the majority shareholder of Grand Hotels. However, I believe that the reason why the stock price of Grand Hotel has skyrocketed is because investors are optimistic about us joining Grand Hotel. I believe many people should know that I have some titles, such as 'Wonderful Rejuvenation', 'Company Doctor', etc., and I believe that many investors have invested in big hotels precisely because of this. ”

He deliberately emphasized that Cathay Pacific City is a major shareholder, which is to plan for the later request to enter the board of directors, after all, it is a reasonable requirement of Cathay Pacific City to enter the board of directors.

Q: "Some people say that Cathay City intends to split the hotel, is it true?" ”

Answer: "How can it be true that we didn't even have access to the boardroom. The hotel has great potential for development, especially the hotel business, if it is operated carefully, it can become a world-class hotel brand, so that the golden sign of The Peninsula Hotel can appear in many parts of the world. ”

Q: "There are rumors in the market that Cathay Pacific City is too indebted, and the company has a big problem?" ”

Answer: "Haha, we have only been borrowing for less than a month, and with the shrewdness of a banker, how could we not have thought about it!" Cathay City's net worth is already as high as 1 billion, compared to less than 200 million half a year ago. As for the acquisition of a stake in the hotel, which resulted in the company's high debt, I would actually say that we bought a very high-quality asset, so the bank was willing to lend. ”

Lin Zuhui refuted the rumors one by one, which made public opinion once again biased towards Cathay Pacific City and frustrated the Kadoorie family's scheme.

......

Saturday, February 21.

Lin Zuhui and Michael Kadoorie met in a private room in a hotel, and it was clear that it was not a pleasant meeting.

"Lin Sheng, our Kadoorie family has been running the hotel for half a century, and we will not give up the management of the hotel!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, revealing a surging smile: "Michael, I have no intention of competing for the management of the hotel, but I just hope that according to our shareholdings, the three directors will be reasonably arranged to enter the board of directors." In the future, the two of us will cooperate to develop the hotel together. ”

Michael raised his eyebrows and said, "No! Your style of doing things has improved by leaps and bounds, which is very different from the style of our hotel. Moreover, you are strong, we are weak, and jointly managing the big hotel is just your one-sided statement, a temporary plan. ”

Lin Zuhui said surgingly: "Okay then! ”

Michael suddenly showed joy and said happily: "So, are you willing to withdraw from the competition for the big hotel?" ”

Lin Zuhui said calmly: "I mean, I hope that one day, we can work together, I won't mind your one-sided opinion of me today!" Our current request remains that we should have three directors on the board of directors of the hotel in accordance with the Companies Act. There is no legal backing in any country in the world, and major shareholders cannot even enter the board of directors. I hope you will think carefully about this, we are still very sincere! ”

In his words, he still showed sincerity, not only that he felt in his heart: no matter what, he was sure to win;

What's more, he doesn't need to be aggressive.

The meeting naturally ended unhappily, but tomorrow the newspaper will publish the news of the meeting between the two.

Next, Lin Zuhui doesn't need to worry too much about the affairs of the hotel, and Lu Dong will come and go in the war of words.

The only thing he has to do is to find time to convince some shareholders of big hotels to succeed in running for chairman of the board of directors. Or, take a back seat and get shareholders to vote for Cathay City to join the board.

At this time, Cathay Pacific City has 34% of the voting rights, which is 4% lower than the voting rights of Liu Luanxiong and Lin Jianmin in the previous life; Therefore, Lin Zuhui did not have much confidence and defeated the Kadoorie family at the board meeting in early May.

After all, the Kadoorie family has been in Hong Kong for so many years, and has never done anything harmful, and they have also been in charge of the hotel for half a century, and it is only natural for shareholders to support them.

However, Lin Zuhui also has an advantage, that is, he has built a 10 billion empire in two years, and his ability naturally does not need to be questioned. Moreover, his reputation is much better than that of Da Liu in his previous life, which is also a plus.

Anyway, Lin Zuhui will still get the big hotel in the end!

Because he is not Da Liu, after losing the election, it is impossible to turn around, and the bank also puts a lot of pressure on Da Liu, so that he must let go.

Lin Zuhui is different, after the election failed, the bank will definitely ask, but will never doubt the strength of the real estate department in the new era before the stock market crash. As long as the battle line is extended, it will definitely be very beneficial to Lin Zuhui, and there is no problem even in the full acquisition of the hotel.

Assuming that the maximum before the stock market crash is 80 yuan, and the maximum after the stock market crash is 50 yuan, the market value is 5 billion, and the privatization only needs to pay 4 billion yuan at most (premium acquisition). Lin Zuhui can use his personal funds to unite Thai cities and privatize them at the same time, and the pressure will be greatly reduced.

.......

The next day, Sunday.

Sure enough, both sides have started a war of public opinion, but Cathay Pacific City is more dominant, who is called Lin Zuhui is a media tycoon!

Cathay City's request is reasonable, just to send three directors to the board of directors of the hotel in accordance with the regulations; However, the Kadoorie family is too unreasonable and deceitful, and it makes no sense to refuse the majority shareholder of the hotel from the board of directors with only 12% of the shares.

In this life, Cathay Pacific City acquired the hotel alone, unlike in the previous life, Liu Luanxiong and Lin Jianmin gave the Kadoorie family a reason to complain about delaying time.

In his previous life, Liu Luanxiong held 26% of the shares of the hotel, and Lin Jianmin held 12% of the shares; Therefore, the Kadoorie family accused Liu Luanxiong and Lin Jianmin of being "persons acting in concert", and once the complaint was successful, Liu Luanxiong and Lin Jianmin had to launch a comprehensive acquisition at the highest price in the past six months, which Liu and Lin were a little afraid of (the highest price at that time was 80.5 yuan per share).

Fortunately, the complaint did not pass, but it also dragged on for a long time, causing the bank to put pressure on Liu.

......

No. 12 Repulse Bay, Zheng House.

This is Zheng Yutong's mansion, covering an area of 16,000 square feet, with a swimming pool and tennis court; From a distance, the fine house in the green bush is like the European royal holiday villa seen in the movie.

At this time, in the secret room of Zheng's house, there were Zheng Yutong, Li Shau-kee, Huang Tingfang, Guo Desheng, and Li Ka-shing, the five most wealthy elders in Xiangjiang.

What a big thing, it actually made the scheming Li Chaoren, the bold and courageous Zheng Yutong, the preemptive Li Shau-kee, the steady Guo Desheng, and the mighty Huang Tingfang across the river gather together, obviously with a big plan.

It turned out that it was Zheng Yutong who acted as the initiator and liaison, inviting several people to discuss the acquisition of Hongkong Land.

Several people unanimously recommended Li Chaoren as the head coach, because Li Chaoren has the greatest wealth and can be called a master of stock market acquisition, and he has confronted Jardine Land several times, but none of them have lost.

However, this is an acquisition of Hongkong Land, and it will only succeed if you have to gather the strength of everyone.

Why?

Hongkong Land's current market value seems to be only 17 billion, but its net asset value is too much higher than its market value. At that time, the stock price of Wharf was more than 14 yuan, and the result was 105 yuan at the peak!

Hongkong Land's property value in Central may be up to 20 billion, not to mention the conservative value of other properties is 10 billion, if the new consortium wants to beat Yice in the stock market, the price is very difficult.

The only possibility is to buy a 26% stake in Yice.

This is not just a simple strategy to buy, the means, timing, and complexity are very complex, and you have to prepare for several months!

This gathering is the first time that the five richest people have gathered for Hongkong Land, so everyone is just a simple exchange.

After simply forming a new consortium, Zheng Yutong said: "Lin Zuhui has been fighting with the Kadoorie family recently, I think he is also a good player, do you want to invite him to join us!" ”

Li Chaoren said with a smile: "If you bring your junior, you won't pull him into the fire pit." Although the real estate department of the new era is also a consortium with tens of billions of assets, it has high debts and a large market value, and he is now entangled in a big hotel, which is not enough to have the strength to join us. ”

Li Shaoji also remembered the feelings of his fellow villagers, and said: "It doesn't necessarily mean that he has a lot of shares, it's just that everyone is familiar with it, I don't think it's anything!" ”

Although Huang Tingfang had dealt with Lin Zuhui, he didn't want Lin Zuhui to join, and he also felt that Lin Zuhui was not qualified.

Guo Desheng was steady, and felt that Lin Zuhui was too brave and impulsive, so he did not agree to join.

Zheng Yutong finally smiled and said, "It's just a suggestion." I'm just optimistic about him, and it's right not to distract him! Are you optimistic about the success of his acquisition of the hotel? ”

Huang Tingfang said directly: "There is almost no chance of winning!" I saw his possible final outcome and cashed out, but in this way, it confirmed his essence as a sniper. ”

Zheng Yutong maintained: "I don't think so, he seems to be very confident, let's wait and see." ”

Li Chaoren didn't say a word, and many media praised Lin Zuhui as 'Lin Chaoren', which made Li Chaoren a little disapprove. He felt that Lin Zuhui was similar to Chen Songqing, relying on various tricks to raise the stock price, and then raising funds and borrowing from rights issues, taking advantage of the rising waves of real estate to expand the scale of the company.

But in fact, the debt ratio of the real estate system in the new era is very high, and the ability to resist risks is very poor. The ability is there, but it is definitely not called 'Lin Chaoren', Li Chaoren thought in his heart. But after all, he is a junior, and he is not easy to say.
