105 Hutchison Takeover(1)

After Lei Shengli and Xu Weishan said goodbye and left, Zhou Jiayang, who was in charge of financial business, was called in, but the difference was that Anqi, who had been recording before, was also invited out.

"How's Hutchison's preparations?" Chen Zhiwen asked, this is the one thing he has been most concerned about lately, second only to retail and beauty.

"I have registered 600 new accounts overseas, and in Indonesia, I have long spread the news, and at the same time spent money to let the local newspaper report on Hutchison's default for a year, and the newspaper has come out, but there is no news in Hong Kong yet, but it is estimated that it will be soon." Zhou Jiayang said.

"Do you have that newspaper?" Chen Zhiwen asked, in the non-Internet era, if the country's headlines do not affect other countries, then people in other countries may not know about it for a lifetime, and it is difficult to find out, and even if it has an impact, it may take a long time for the news to spread.

"Yes, I asked the newspaper to send me a few points before." Zhou Jiayang had already prepared.

"Well, then arrange someone to contact the newspaper in Hong Kong to expose this matter, and the current media are eager to sensationalize and gain new customers, and they will not let go of this kind of hot news." Chen Zhiwen said lightly.

"No problem, I know the editor-in-chief of the Hong Kong Economic Daily, as long as this news is given to him, it is estimated that it will be in the financial headlines the next day." Zhou Jiayang said with a smile.

"Okay, you control the time, and when the news breaks and the Hutchison stock is pressed, you need to take over the stock immediately. Strive to acquire more shares of Hutchison without attracting attention. Chen Zhiwen said.

"Okay, as long as the control is good, it shouldn't be a problem to acquire another 5-10%, but I'm worried about whether Hutchison's financial situation can bear it." Zhou Jiayang said worriedly.

"How can one of the four major ocean banks go bankrupt so easily, and the Hong Kong government will not let it go bankrupt." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.

Too big to fail, these four words are the "idioms" born in modern society, and to a certain extent, they are correct.

The failure of any company will cause losses far beyond its size, and its partners, its suppliers, its customers, its creditors, its investors, etc., will be seriously affected, and some of these related parties who are overly dependent on the company may also collapse as a result, triggering a similar domino effect.

The larger the scale of the failed company, the damage will grow exponentially, in the simplest terms, taking Hutchison as an example, if Hutchison fails, employees lose their jobs and suppliers go bankrupt are small things, and the most lethal is the bank, with the scale of Hutchison, there are many small banks in Hong Kong, once these banks have financial problems because of Hutchison, it is very likely to cause a run on depositors, and the consequences will be far more than the run in the 60s.

Even HSBC, Hong Kong's quasi-central bank, has also lent hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to Hutchison, and with HSBC's size, of course, it will not go bankrupt, but it will also be seriously affected.

In the modern business history of mankind, there have been many insolvent large enterprises in Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, but the government and the central bank can only grit their teeth to rescue, such as the United States' strong support for the automobile industry, South Korea's rescue of Daewoo Group, etc., it is really because such large companies are allowed to go bankrupt, and the economic damage caused is so great that the society can not accept it.

Of course, there are some special cases, such as the subprime mortgage crisis in 08, the U.S. government did not bail out Lehman Bank, let it go bankrupt, but this shows a consequence of not saving, the damage to the global economy after the collapse of Lehman is far more than the funds that need to be bailed out at the beginning, but not to save Lehman, also because of ZZ, belongs to the White House's warning to Wall Street, after all, if you save every time, then the Wall Street group will play more high, and there is no bottom line.

The impact of the real industry is not as good as that of such large banks, but the harm caused is not small, and besides, Hutchison does not belong to the real industry, and the company focusing on real estate should actually be a kind of financial company.

"Then I will let the media release the news tomorrow, and it is estimated that the market will react soon." Zhou Jiayang said.

Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "Okay, once Hutchison's stock price falls, you will start buying it immediately, you don't need to think about it when you reach the lowest point, what I want is to increase the proportion of shares to close to the holding ratio, the more acquisitions, the better." ”

Now the market value of the entire Hutchison is only 500 million Hong Kong dollars, and it can't fall much, and the stock acquisition is the most stable.

"Okay, no problem, I know what to do." Zhou Jiayang nodded and said.

In an office building on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong, the headquarters of the Hong Kong Economic Journal is located.

"Director Li." In the office, Director Li, who was looking at the documents, suddenly heard the voice at the door outside, looked up, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang, come, sit, what's the matter with me?" ”

Speaking of this Xiao Wang, Director Li has been very satisfied recently, Xiao Wang has been in the letter for more than two years, and his performance has been very normal before, but in the past six months, he doesn't know what is going on, and he can always collect a lot of information in the first time, so that he is surprised by the director, and after a while, if he still performs well, he is ready to promote Xiao Wang.

"Thank you, Director Li." Xiao Wang sat down politely, handed over an A4 piece of paper in his hand, and said, "Director Li, this is what a friend of mine in Indonesia sent me, you can take a look." ”

"Indonesia?" Director Li is a little inexplicable, what does Indonesia's affairs have to do with our Hong Kong Economic Journal? Is there something major international going on?

Taking the document from Xiao Wang's hand, the document was written in Indonesian and English, Director Li glanced at the content, his face immediately changed, and then looked at the signature and seal in the lower right corner, and asked, "Is this true?" ”

"Of course it's true, this is a copy of the document issued by the Indonesian government to the Indonesian branch of Hutchison Group, this kind of document, if you give me ten guts, I don't dare to fake it?" Xiao Wang explained.

"Since it's a document sent by the Indonesian government to Hutchison, how can you have it?" Director Li looked at Xiao Wang with deep eyes and asked, if there was some more accurate news before, forget it, after all, it is all about Hong Kong, maybe the other party has something to do with it, but this kind of document is definitely not something that can only be obtained by ordinary relationships, it is likely to be a planned plan.

"I have a friend who works at Hutchison, and he gave it to me." Xiao Wang pretended to be calm and said.

At this moment, he is also very helpless, half a year ago, someone suddenly found him and said that he wanted to cooperate, he didn't believe it at first, but then the other party gave him cash and told him a few valuable news, so that he got a lot of benefits from it.

Although he also doubted the other party's purpose, the benefits obtained were too fragrant, and last night, when the other party gave him the news, he knew that he must have fallen into something, but he couldn't refuse.

"Okay, you keep in touch with this friend of yours, and tell me if you have any new news." Director Li saw at a glance that there was a problem, but he did not expose it, with his intuition, there must be some conspiracy behind this news, not necessarily illegal, but it must also involve great interests, too many things for themselves, there must be no benefits, and the disadvantages are not necessarily.

"Then do you want to be in the news?" Xiao Wang asked.

"Up, tomorrow on the homepage of the financial edition." Director Li said calmly, this is a big news in itself, and there is obviously someone behind it, and others will post it if they don't post it.
