208 Win-win HSBC

"Then let's announce it, and end this matter early." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

Compared with Wharf and Hutchison, Jingzhou Yingni is just a small company, and the main purpose of acquiring it is for a piece of land by the sea in Hung Hom, in addition, Jingzhou Yingni monopolizes half of the cement business in Hong Kong's market, and it cannot be said that it is useless, and it is still okay to give Hutchison, if Hutchison has the ability in the future, it may also be able to develop a lot of achievements in this area.

Although the cement business looks very low-level, but the total market is still very large, especially in the northern mainland will be a super infrastructure madness in the future, there may be certain opportunities in this regard, the only drawback is that this industry has a certain amount of pollution, Jingzhou Yingxiao in Hong Kong is getting worse and worse, in fact, with the Hong Kong government gradually control factory emissions, it also has a lot to do.

"Okay, then I'll discuss it with Victory." Zhou Jiayang said.

Central, inside the old HSBC headquarters:

Vice President Diess was just about to enter the office of Taipan Shen Bi, and before he could knock on the door, the door suddenly opened, and a white-haired white man walked out, glanced at Dies, nodded in friendliness and left.

"Newbijian?" Diese looked at the back of Niu Bijian leaving, and pondered a little, Hong Kong is so big, everyone knows these celebrities, and Niu Bijian is naturally the most famous among them.

After walking into Shen Bi's office, Diess said: "Mr. Shen Bi, this is the financial statements of the last three months, you can take a look." ”

"Okay, Victor's business has been doing well lately, right?" Shen Bi asked casually.

"It's not bad, the Hong Kong real estate market has recovered recently, the stock market has also recovered a lot, and the demand for various types of investment has also begun to increase." Dees replied.

"Are there any big acquisitions?" Shen Bi asked.

HSBC as Hong Kong's "quasi-central bank", although it has a lot of rights and funds, but this is not without a price, rights also represent obligations, HSBC in Hong Kong part of the economic problems, also need to bear the corresponding responsibility, especially in the past few years of the real estate crisis, the collapse of the bank is many, in order to prevent the emergence of a run and cause the expansion of the financial crisis, HSBC also timely assumed the responsibility of the corresponding "central bank", which naturally also seriously affected HSBC's net profit.

Therefore, the profitability of the investment banking company is very important, the main business of the company is to invest in the financial market for investors, and can also provide corresponding financial leverage services, so as to earn handling fees, but the more profitable is always the acquisition between large companies, such as the previous land to drink milk, and the company made a lot of 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and a transaction was equivalent to 10% of the net profit of the entire HSBC at that time.

"There is no big acquisition, but there may be some exceptions, Jingzhou Yingxiao Company, this company has a market value of less than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not very large, but it is Hutchison who is ready to acquire it." Dees replied.

Hutchison had already entrusted Dorry to acquire Jingzhou Yingxiao, but because the transaction amount was not large, Diess did not report it separately before.

"Oh, Hutchison wants to buy Jingzhou Yingxiao? This is the first time that Chen Zhiwen has acquired Hutchison since he took over Hutchison. Shen Bi said.

"Yes, I guess the main purpose of their acquisition of the company was for the land of the original factory in Hung Hom." Diess analyzed.

"Eight or nine are not far from ten, with Chen Zhiwen's business style over the years, it is impossible to look down on that cement business, it must be for the land." Shen Bi nodded and said.

"The shares of Jingzhou Yingxiao are also relatively scattered, I have acquired 25% of the shares for Hutchison, and they are also preparing for a public acquisition, the Kane family of Jingzhou Yingni holds about 20% of the shares, and the capital difference between the two sides is so big, it is basically a stable win." Dees said again.

"Of course, winning is of course, I don't care about a Jingzhou Yingxiao, what I care about is how big Chen Zhiwen's ambition is, Hutchison has now gotten rid of the debt crisis, although he still owes debts, but there are no banks that can help him, HSBC can't, plus he has another new product in Europe and the United States, it is said that the profits are very high, hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars a year easily, in this case, there are so many high-quality assets in the Hong Kong market, which ones do you think he will like?" Shen Bi put down the information in his hand and said.

With the recovery of Hong Kong's real estate market and the improvement of Hutchison's capital, especially Whampoa Garden, the largest community project in Hong Kong's history, has been targeted by many scalpers who speculate on houses, waiting for pre-sale, once the pre-sale begins, Hutchison's financial problem can be said to be completely solved.

It is true that the debt is still there, but because of the increase in the value of assets, the debt ratio is not high, even if HSBC forces the debt, Hutchison can get enough loans from other banks to repay HSBC, in this case, the bank has lost the qualification to control Hutchison's operation, and An An is waiting to repay the money.

The development of Chen Zhiwen's several businesses, although it is kept secret from the outside world, but the product output and terminal price can not be kept secret, and professionals will know the approximate profit in it after a general analysis, which may not be accurate, but the difference of two or three percent will not affect the judgment and analysis of people like Shen Bi.

"There may be many, as far as I know, with the change of attitude in the north, Hong Kong, a lot of British capital is ready to withdraw their investment, and the most radical may be Wheelock." Dees said.

"Wheelock?" Shen Bi frowned, he also knew that Wheelock had been selling properties in Hong Kong for the past two years, and then buying cargo ships or oil tankers and converting them into assets of its shipping company, but its asset business in Hong Kong was very large, and it still couldn't leave in the short term.

"Mr. Shen Bi, if there is no problem, I am going to help Hutchison go all out to acquire Jingzhou Yingxiao in a few days?" Dees asked.

"Yes, without us, Hutchison would have won, and we have no reason to give up this kind of profit." Shen Bi nodded and agreed, and said: "One more thing, just now you also saw Jardine's Niu Bijian, he came to me, hoping that I could lend a sum of money to Hongkong Land's Wellcome Supermarket to acquire new shops or lease shops to open, and he was very anxious, asking us to give them 100 million Hong Kong dollars a month." ”

"HK$100 million? Supermarkets need so much money? "Diess didn't react, the current 100 million Hong Kong dollars is also a very large amount of data, and the entire Hong Kong Territory, it is estimated that there are no more than 20 listed companies that can make a net profit of 100 million Hong Kong dollars a year.

"Because they need to acquire related properties, and Hutchison is also making every effort to expand his PARKnSHOP supermarket, if Hutchison takes the lead, then Jardine Matheson will have no chance in the future." Shen Bi said.

"I see." Dice frowned and said: "In this way, Chen Zhiwen has only been acquiring Hutchison for a year, and now he is going to enter the supermarket field on the one hand, and he is going to acquire Jingzhou Yingxiao on the other hand, it seems that he is ready to expand." ”

"yes, so that's what I'm more concerned about." Shen Bi nodded and said again.

"And you're going to help Jardine?" Dees asked.

"Why choose one over the other? I'll help both, can't I? Shen Bi smiled and said, "The harder they fight, the more our bank will profit." ”
