110 Hutchison Takeover(5)

The meeting with Qi Dezun broke up a little unhappily, Shen Bi thought about it for a while in the car back, and after returning to HSBC, he reported everything to Sanders.

"Qi Dezun, this idiot, still wants to threaten us now." Sanders said angrily.

"But what he said makes sense, if Hutchison really has a problem, we HSBC can't eat and walk around." Shen Bi frowned and said, Hutchison and its subsidiaries almost owe HSBC nearly 800 million Hong Kong dollars, such a large sum of money, enough to cover the profits of HSBC for two or three years, if the worst happens, then HSBC will have to break his bones, and if this incident happens during his tenure, it will definitely have a great impact on his reputation.

"Now whether it is Hong Kong or overseas banks, it is unlikely to lend him money, and it is estimated that Qi Dezun can only count on the shareholders' meeting now." Sanders shook his head.

"Speaking of the shareholders' meeting, Qi Dezun said that Hutchison's stock fell little yesterday, and I think there are some problems." Shen Bi suddenly said again.

"What do you mean?" Sanders asked.

"In such a big event as the Indonesian port, the confidence of Hutchison is a fatal blow, and in this case, Hutchison shares should at least plummet, but now there is no problem, which shows that either the news has not spread, or someone is buying Hutchison shares in large quantities." Shen Bi analyzed: "I think the latter is more likely, because the trading volume on the stock market is very large. ”

"You mean someone wants to buy Hutchison? How can anyone be so bold? Sanders was surprised, as Hutchison's biggest creditor, he naturally knew how big Hutchison's problems were now. It can be said that the 100 million loan asked for by Qi Dezun will not last long at all, and Hutchison, who has such a large debt, if it is really acquired, the acquisition may not cost much, but the follow-up maintenance of business will require a lot of funds.

"Not sure, I've asked people to investigate, maybe it's just my judgment error, or maybe someone just wants to take the opportunity to buy the bottom, if Hutchison really survives, the current stock price is still very low." Shen Bi thought for a while and said.

"If it's a bottom-buying deal, forget it, but if it's an acquisition, then this year's Hong Kong stock market will be lively, much more lively than Hongkong Land Milk three years ago." Sanders said with a frown.

"I don't know which one is behind it, Jardine? Remote antiquity? Wheelock? Or Kadoorie? Shen Bi subconsciously said a few suspects.

"It's unlikely, Hongkong Land's previous acquisition of Dairy International has lost all its credibility, Swire is now fully investing in the development of Taikoo Shing, Wheelock is now difficult to protect, Kadoorie's CLP Power is also busy with Mobil in the development of the Tsingshan Power Plant, and it is estimated that there is no spare funds." Sanders shook his head and said that he was very clear about the foundation of these large consortia in Hong Kong, as the head of HSBC.

"Then it could be an overseas consortium." Shen Bi thought for a while and said.

"If it's really a large overseas consortium, that's good news for us, as long as Hutchison's liabilities don't go wrong, we can be much more stable." Sanders said.

"That's just as well." Shen Bi nodded and said, "If it is a real acquisition, it is estimated that it will be announced in a while." ”

"Yes, then wait, in addition, you pay attention to the people who have a lot of shares in Hutchison." Sanders reminded.

"Well, understand, if it is an acquisition, then in the end these people will definitely be found by the other party, if it weren't for the fact that Hutchison shares are too scattered, the market may have found the abnormality a long time ago, in this way, the media exposure of the Indonesian port may also be deliberate." Shen Bi thought for a while and said.

Although Hutchison does not have a major shareholder, there are always some investors who hold more shares in their hands, some 1%, some 0.5%, etc., these add up, the number is not small, but I don't know if the stock price fluctuates during this time, whether it has been sold.

Prince Building:

Chen Zhiwen is playing an arcade machine in his office, which is the latest magic cube, although in later generations, he never disdained to play such low-level games, but after a few years in Hong Kong in the 70s, he can only bow to reality, and it is good to have this kind of game to play.

By the way, he can also find some of the previous feelings, and as the only player who plays Tetris in the afterlife, maybe he can find some shortcomings.

As a veteran, Chen Zhiwen is naturally experienced, and he easily defeated Anqi, who was still boasting just now.

"Boss, you're so good." Angel said with a smile.

"This kind of is too simple, and in the future, you will have to produce blocks with different colors, which is called difficulty." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

The current square does not have a color setting, and the display actually has this ability, but the chip can't reach it, or rather, the low-cost setting can't do it with color setting.

However, the difficulty of the different colors of the block belt is too high, which is not suitable for the business model of arcade to make money for customers, but it can coexist with the normal mode for players to choose.

Wait for a few years to come out of the home game console, put it will definitely become a hit, the challenge is high, the more suitable for the family game console or handheld, because the positioning of the two is to consume the player's boring time and a proper sense of achievement.

"Different colors?" Angel didn't quite understand.

There was a knock on the door, and An Qi said, "It should be Manager Zhou." ”

As she expected, the person who came was Zhou Jiayang, who was in charge of Galaxy Securities.

"Mr. Chen, good morning." Zhou Jiayang said politely after coming in.

"Morning, sit down." Chen Zhiwen waved his hand and motioned to sit down on the sofa, while An Qi prepared drinks for the two.

"How's Hutchison's stock acquisition going?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"This week, the smash was very big, we acquired about 7% of the shares, and today, we already have 30.1% of the Hutchison shares in our hands, and we already have two directorships in Hutchison by law." Zhou Jiayang said happily that being able to acquire Hutchison, one of the four major foreign companies, is also very rare in the entire Hong Kong and even global business history, and as the main operator, it can be regarded as a great honor in life.

"Okay, I'm halfway there." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "But it's still not enough, less than 40%, we still don't have absolute control." ”

"Chen Sheng, with a 34% controlling stake, we are basically in control." Zhou Jiayang reminded.

"Dealing with Qi Dezun, I naturally have the chance to win, but what I have to guard against this time is that there are so many creditors behind Hutchison, and a little more shares, so that they are helpless, is the first step for me to control Hutchison." Chen Zhiwen said.

Even if Qi Dezun controlled everything, he could not deal with HSBC, which had already obtained countless shareholder representations, and finally left the market in tears under the dual pressure of debt and voting.

Although Chen Zhiwen now has 30% of the shares, he will have a certain advantage at the shareholders' meeting, but he has no experience in managing and remembering such a large consortium, and may still be distrusted by other small shareholders.

Once HSBC obtains the right to operate Hutchison as it did in history, and when the real estate market picks up in a few years, Hutchison will come back to life, and it will depend on HSBC who Hutchison will give in the future.

Even if it is still given to him, the price must be very large, for HSBC, it is in the best interest of HSBC to find a talent who can fully control and listen to his own words, and it is obviously impossible for him.

Besides, in a few years, it is also the time to make a move on Wharf, and HSBC definitely does not want one to control these two giants.

Although his relationship with HSBC has been good on the surface over the years, but when it comes to such big interests, Chen Zhiwen still will not put the probability of this kind of thing on others, and all unstable factors must be controlled as much as possible, and the best way is to increase the equity again, as long as it reaches more than 40%, and then find a few shareholders at random, you can make decisions about the entire Hutchison, and the bank can only force debts at most, but cannot force debt-to-equity swaps.

"Chen Sheng, our trading data this week has been very large, and there are not many stocks in the market for short-term activities, which may have aroused the suspicion of relevant personnel, and if you buy it again, you can't hide it." Zhou Jiayang said with some worry.

Because the market is too large, the stock price has not fluctuated greatly due to the full acquisition of its own side, but the stock price does not move does not mean that there are no other abnormalities, and the huge trading volume will be discovered, and it is also because the early trading volume is too much, which has begun to affect the circulating number of Hutchison stocks.

"If you don't have outstanding shares, then go directly to those who have shares in your hands and ask them to buy them." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, although Hutchison did not have a major shareholder before, there are still a large number of small shareholders, and the shares in the hands of these shareholders may not be many by one person, but the sum of more than a dozen is not a small weight.

"If we do that, it's really an announcement of the acquisition." Zhou Jiayang said.

"Just take it as an announcement, at this point, it's time to stand up." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.
