Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "I know, I am also going to talk to Shen Bi, I have been busy with beautiful things during this time, I haven't looked for him for a long time, we still need to have a good relationship with HSBC, and the project of Huangpu Garden still has to be given to Shen Bi." ”

After Hehuang got it, Shen Bi wouldn't lend him any more money, so naturally he didn't have much contact, but recently, Hehuang's business has improved a little, and with such a big new project, he naturally has to pay a visit.

Although it has made good progress in various businesses in the past six months, it has not yet reached the point of ignoring HSBC, and it is not a problem to develop in Hong Kong, borrowing money from other banks, but in terms of scale, it is still necessary to rely on HSBC to absorb real estate wealth.

"That's fine, HSBC has plenty of funds, just to provide us with protection, but I don't know, Shen Bi dares to lend us a few hundred million more." Zhou Jiayang said with a smile.

"What would he not dare." Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said, dare to build a $1 billion headquarters building, what is this money?

"There is one more thing, Chen Sheng, you arranged for me to acquire 2.2 million TVB shares from HSBC before, and the negotiation is about to be completed, and now there is still the question of price." Zhou Jiayang continued.

"Oh, that's good, how much does it cost now?" Chen Zhiwen asked, Hutchison had already acquired 2.3 million shares of TVB shares from the declining British-funded Times Life Bank, plus the number held by Hutchison before, he already had 61% of TVB's shares, and he had actually obtained a controlling stake, but at that time, Hutchison had a lot of things to do, and Chen Zhiwen's main focus was still on the sales of Midea's arcades, Nike's shares, etc., so he didn't run to fight for control of TVB, anyway, it wasn't bad for a few months.

However, it did not completely put it aside, but continued to acquire another 30% of the shares from HSBC, once it was in hand, Hutchison had 90% of TVB's shares, and the rest was the Li family, who now nominally controls TVB, and Shao Yifu, who actually controls TVB.

This is indeed a big bargain, when TVB was first built, the Hong Kong government did not recognize Chinese, so the Li family could only give most of the equity to the three large foreign companies at that time, and now it is all cheap Chen Zhiwen.

"HSBC's asking price is 21 million, and my side insists on 20 million, which is already 20% more expensive than what we bought from Times Life before." Zhou Jiayang said.

"Oh, let's talk about it again, almost take a step back, go to the median value of 2050, how to say that we and Huang are also long-term partners of HSBC." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said: "The assets in the hands of HSBC, if you want to buy them, you have to pay a premium, normal things, the decline of the life of the times is not comparable." ”

Zhou Jiayang is actually here to explore the way, obviously because he can't talk about it, 500,000 or 1 million is actually nothing to Chen Zhiwen, it's not worth wasting too much time, and it's not worth it for him to go to Shen Bi, but the favor is more valuable.

"Okay, then I'll talk to Victory again, this group of people is really hard." Zhou Jiayang said helplessly.

"Dolly is a department of HSBC that specializes in debt investment and mergers and acquisitions, of course, I have rich experience and can speak well, when I acquired Hutchison, if I wasn't afraid that HSBC would not agree, I would have wanted to find Dolly." Chen Zhiwen said.

"What about Wharf?" Zhou Jiayang said suddenly.

"No, Shen Bi will never agree to my acquisition of Wharf again." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said.

Shen Bi does not care whether the other party is Chinese or British in order to make money, but he definitely does not want to cultivate a giant that he cannot control, in the original history, Jardine Matheson once intended to acquire Wheelock, but was intervened by HSBC, because after the acquisition of Wheelock, Jardine Matheson will surpass HSBC in scale, which Shen Bi cannot tolerate.

Chen Zhiwen has already controlled Hutchison, and if he controls Wharf again, Shen Bi will not tolerate this scale. Relatively speaking, although Midea and Red Bull are making money overseas, their scale in Hong Kong is still much worse than that of Ocean Bank.

"It's a pity that we now have 18% of Wharf shares, and if we have the support of HSBC, we can buy it with full certainty." Zhou Jiayang said.

"We haven't touched Wharf's stock for a year, and there are also two big real estate projects in the galaxy that are being launched, so don't recover for the time being, wait a few more months, and then I will transfer money back from overseas." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said.

The funds on the Hong Kong side, mainly to start the Whampoa Garden project, plus the investment in the industrial park of the United States, these are more consuming funds, as for the Wharf, although it is also important, but not in a hurry, if according to the original history, at the beginning of 1978, Li Ka-shing began to acquire Wharf, resulting in the Wharf stock price soared more than 3 times, opening the prelude to the Sino-British War, and it is also the first shot in Hong Kong history where Chinese capital replaced British capital.

However, in this life, because Hutchison was forcibly acquired by him, Jardine Matheson also began to pay attention to the controlling stake in its own companies, whether it was Hongkong Land or Wharf, Jardine Matheson has increased its holdings, but the share is not much, in fact, it is also because Jardine Matheson began to work outside the strong.

There are still about 2 years to go, and it doesn't matter if it's a few months late, besides, even if it drags on until 1978, Li Jiacheng can't buy Wharf.

"Okay." Zhou Jiayang nodded, he also probably knew the situation of several main businesses under the boss, and now it seems that the arcade machine can make a lot of money, and there are several new arcade machines waiting to be listed, if they are all exceeded, the profit of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars is estimated to be not a problem.

"Reach an agreement with HSBC as soon as possible, and then you will go out and take control of TVB." Chen Zhiwen said.

"We have 90% of TVB's equity, so we can naturally take over TVB, but for the TV station, we can only count on the original team to manage it, but now TVB is controlled by Shao Yifu, his identity is special, if he doesn't cooperate, it's really troublesome." Zhou Jiayang obviously also thought about this issue.

"I know this, now TVB nominally Li Xiaohe is the chairman, Shao Yifu is the general manager, you are responsible for solving the Li family, Shao Yifu's words, or I will talk to him." Chen Zhiwen said.

There are many types of management of various companies, but they are all wage earners, and they are called working emperors to make a good name, but Shao Yifu is not, ten years ago, when Shaw Brothers movies were at their peak, he was one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong, much higher than Li Jiacheng and others.

In recent years, the exponential growth and rise of the real estate industry, coupled with the fact that Shaw Brothers Films in the film field has been beaten by new players Golden Harvest, and TVB's chairman Li Xiaohe gave the management of the company to Shao Yifu due to physical reasons, which also gave Shao Yifu the idea of abandoning the screen since childhood.

If you want such a person to work for yourself, it is impossible, but if you drive it away, TVB will also suffer heavy losses, over the years, Shao Yifu has controlled TVB and Shaw Brothers Films at the same time, and the two sides have cooperated in many aspects, if it is suddenly disconnected, it is very likely to fall into chaos.

That's the biggest problem.

"Lee Hyo-wa? I heard that he has been lying at home for a few years, and his wife Li Lu Yanqun is in charge of the Li family's business, and it is said that he is in charge of it well, so I have to find her. Zhou Jiayang thought for a while and said.

"I haven't seen it either, Red Bull originally bought the Lijia United Soda Factory, but it was bought by Dolly." Chen Zhiwen said: "You have to pinch her, otherwise it will be troublesome enough to chew us everywhere and bully people who are dying in the future." ”

Obtaining TVB is the first step in the development of the media, and it is also a necessary step, when its own business is thriving, controlling the media has become a necessary requirement, but when TVB was just established, Li Xiaohe signed an escrow agreement with the three major foreign banks, although the shareholders' meeting can force it to be overturned, but Li Xiaohe has cancer, if you really do this, there will definitely be people in the Hong Kong media to talk about this.

The injury can't hurt Chen Zhiwen, but there is no need to carry this matter.

"Don't worry, Chen Sheng, I will take it easily." Zhou Jiayang said with a smile.
