"Chen Zhiwen? He's asking me out at this time? Li Jiacheng frowned and said.

"Probably for Wharf?" Zhuang Yueming said: "In the first two years, Chen Zhiwen's real estate company invested a lot of money into various real estate projects, especially in Hung Hom, but in the last six months, the speed of land acquisition seems to have slowed down a lot, no matter what the reason, but they must have a lot of cash in their hands." ”

"This is also true, if this is the case, it makes sense, but when the real estate market is rising, it is beginning to converge, I originally thought that Chen Zhiwen was worried that the land price would have another problem, and it seems that he is also ready to use British capital again." Li Jiacheng nodded and said, "It's just that now that the Wharf has been stirred up by us, I'm afraid it has affected his plan." ”

"Anyway, if he is also going to buy Wharf, then I can sell my favor." Li Jiacheng said with a smile.

"That's right, then I'll check it out in three days." Zhuang Yueming nodded and said.

Three days later, the Presidential Suite at the Hilton:

"Li Sheng, it's only been more than three months since we came back from the mainland, but you have set off a big tsunami in Hong Kong?" Seeing Li Jiacheng, Chen Zhiwen immediately smiled and said, everyone is also an old friend, not only has they cooperated a lot, but also stayed in the mainland together for a month.

"I'm ashamed, Chen Sheng, don't laugh, what kind of tsunami is it, compared to Chen Sheng's acquisition of Hutchison, it's too far behind." Li Jiacheng shook his head and said.

"It's still different, what I bought back then was just a British-funded company with serious debts and almost bankruptcy, no matter how big the scale is, it's also a mess, if I hadn't injected a lot of funds, I wouldn't know if Hutchison was there now?" Chen Zhiwen said: "The Hutchison of the year was completely unwanted, my acquisition is simple, but Li Sheng, you are tough this time, it is enough to go down in the history of our Hong Kong business." ”

"If you lose, you lose, and all the annals are fake." Li Jiacheng shook his head and said.

"HSBC just intervened, Li Sheng is a real estate company, and under the pressure of HSBC, it is normal to let go." Chen Zhiwen said.

"Then Chen Sheng, asked me to come today, could it be that it is also for the shares of Wharf in my hand?" Li Jiacheng asked very "sincerely", he is also a smart person, and asking him out at this time must be for Wharf stocks.

"Li Sheng is really a smart person, that's what I mean, I don't know how many Wharf stocks Li Sheng has in his hands?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"Almost 9.8 million shares." Li Jiacheng said. He previously acquired 12% of the shares, about 10.5 million shares, and then sold some cash out when the price was high, so much at present.

"Okay, I want to buy all the Wharf shares in your hands at a price of HK$30 per share, what does Li Sheng think?" Chen Zhiwen said again.

"HK$30 a share? Okay, no problem. Li Jiacheng agreed without much thought.

Before he came, he guessed that it was very likely that Chen Zhiwen would buy the shares of Wharf in his hands today, so he had already calculated the price in his heart, and based on his own investment and the current stock price of Wharf, as long as Chen Zhiwen's offer exceeded this number, it would be fine.

"Li Sheng is refreshing enough." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile that the stock price of Wharf has fluctuated at about 23-25 Hong Kong dollars in the past two days, and it is necessary to acquire about 10% of the shares at one time, and 30 Hong Kong dollars is actually not much.

Li Jiacheng said with a smile: "Chen Sheng wants to teach this group of British-funded enterprises who only know how to do power on our heads for our Chinese, I Li Jiacheng himself does not have this ability, but I am still happy to support Chen Sheng, if Chen Sheng really gets Wharf, then when the development of some projects in Wharf, if there is a chance, I Cheung Kong is still very willing to cooperate with Chen Sheng again." ”

"Okay, no problem." Chen Zhiwen nodded, whether what he said was true or false, what Li Jiacheng said was indeed very comfortable.

"Then I will send these stocks to your mansion tomorrow, and if I cut the transaction, when does Chen Sheng need to go?" Li Jiacheng asked.

"Li Sheng wait for me a little longer, I still need to buy a little more stocks in the stock market, so that I can grasp it a little bigger, so how about seven days?" Chen Zhiwen said.

"Seven days? Chen Sheng, you have been plotting against Wharf for a long time? Li Jiacheng suddenly understood in his heart, no wonder when he acquired, he felt that there were too few liquid stocks in the market, and when the stock price was high, there were many parties smashing the market, which was obviously controlled by other major shareholders.

"Yes, actually, long before I started with Hutchison, I was already absorbing Wharf stocks." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, it's nothing to tell Li Jiacheng now, after all, he is about to flapple the table with Yihe, and it doesn't matter if the secret is about to be revealed.

"So long? I don't know how many Wharf shares Chen Sheng has in his hands now? Li Jiacheng asked curiously.

"Almost 25%." Chen Zhiwen said.

“25%？” Li Jiacheng was taken aback, this proportion is more than Jardine Matheson's shareholdings, if you add 10% of the shares on his side, it is basically a win, but there is still a question, he also quickly thought of a possibility, and asked: "Chen Sheng, you used to make a large number of acquisitions every time Wharf issued additional shares?" ”

"Yes, otherwise, it would be impossible to hide from Jardine Matheson and so many financial experts who want to buy so many shares." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

Before the acquisition of Hutchison, Hutchison was in too bad a state at the time, so that it could be acquired to a sufficient ratio, but even so, the follow-up was still discovered, occasionally by releasing news or selling stocks to suppress the stock price is only suitable for the early stage of acquisition, and in the later stage, the decrease in liquid stocks on the market and the increasing volume of stock trading will definitely be discovered to a certain extent.

Although Wharf's Harbour City is a gold-swallowing beast, it is not rotten to the extent of Hutchison back then, even if it is acquired slowly, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be discovered, but when Wharf increases its shares in the stock market to raise funds for financing, it is different.

The additional shares will be bought by shareholders or investment institutions, and Chen Zhiwen also plays one of the roles, which is a normal transaction, and at other times, it is only a small amount of acquisition, so to this day, it still has not caused any abnormal fluctuations in the stock market.

"No wonder when I investigated Wharf stock last year, I found that it had expanded its shares many times to raise funds, but it did not cause the stock price to plummet, and it turned out that Chen Sheng was taking over on a large scale." Li Jiacheng said.

"In fact, there are only a few high-quality, large-scale and easy-to-start British-funded companies in Hong Kong, and it is normal for our goals to overlap." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"yes, it's the same thing, hahaha." Li Jiacheng nodded and said.

"In that case, Li Sheng will help me keep it secret for a while, and I will mobilize some more funds, close to 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and it will take a few days." Chen Zhiwen said.

"No problem, Chen Sheng, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this." Li Jiacheng said.

After returning home, as soon as Li Jiacheng sat down, Zhuang Yueming walked past Ali with a fruit platter and asked, "Chen Zhiwen is looking for you, is it because he wants to buy Wharf." ”

"I promised Chen Zhiwen not to tell anyone, including you." Li Jiacheng said with a light smile.

"Then I guess it won't be counted as you tell." Zhuang Yueming said with a smile: "It seems to be the same as I guessed, since he told you everything, it also means that you sold the shares to him, Chen Zhiwen was silent for more than two years after the acquisition of Hutchison, this is ready to do it again against British capital." ”

"Let's talk about it in a week, we'll have a lot of cash in our hands right away, and I'm thinking about what to do with it now." Li Jiacheng said with a smile.

Zhuang Yueming asked: "You don't want to buy a British-funded company, do you?" ”

"Forget it, this failure is also a lesson, now the whole market is very good, once the acquisition news is leaked, the stock price will inevitably rise several times, Changjiang Industrial, there is no ability to continue to follow." Li Jiacheng shook his head and said: "It's better to develop new projects normally, a large-scale project like Huangpu Garden is estimated to earn more than one billion yuan after doing it." ”

"Yes, it just so happens that Chen Zhiwen is about to prepare to make a move on Wharf, let's just take a look, what will Jardine do it, right?" Zhuang Yueming nodded and said.

Seven days later, Zhou Jiayang, who was in charge of the Wharf acquisition, and Xu Jinhong of Galaxy Group came to Chen Zhiwen's office together.

"Chen Sheng, in the last seven days, we have acquired another 1.5% of the shares in the stock market, and now we have almost 27% of the Wharf shares in our hands, plus the 10.2% that we are about to buy from Li Jiacheng, we will have 37% of the shares." Zhou Jiayang reported.

"We already have a veto, now let's see, how else is Newbijian going to play?" Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, Wharf's acquisition, since he crossed to Hong Kong, he has always wanted to do this, and then with a little capital, he began to operate slowly, and today, he can finally complete the final blow.

"Then we'll announce it after harvesting the stock with Li Jiacheng?" Zhou Jiayang asked.

"Let's announce it." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

When Wharf shares become very sensitive because of the acquisition, there is no longer a chance to slowly lurk for acquisition, as long as a little more funds enter the market, it will cause alarm, especially Chen Zhiwen's current status, many people are speculating whether he will do it to Wharf or other British-funded companies, which has led to all kinds of anti-common sense financial operations in the entire capital market.

In this case, it is natural to have a public acquisition, even if it costs a little more money, the most important thing is to acquire the company quickly, otherwise, the time cost will also be very large, the simplest example, Chen Zhiwen needs to prepare a lot of funds, if it is consumed, then these funds can not be used to invest, so the loss caused by this is greater than the early acquisition at a high price.

"Okay, then I'll go to Cheung Kong now and make a deal with Li Jia to cut stocks." Zhou Jiayang said.

Thursday, March 2.

A major news once again detonated Hong Kong's financial circle: Li Jiacheng officially announced that the Wharf shares in his hand had been transferred, and the other party was Chen Zhiwen.

"Chen Zhiwen wants to buy Wharf" immediately became the headline of Hong Kong's newspapers, and even the previous Hong Kong sister, who has recently made a big fuss in the entertainment industry, was thrown into a corner.

After two years, the Chinese capital in Hong Kong has once again sharpened its knives and is ready to face the British opponent.

In the afternoon of the same day, Galaxy Group came forward to officially announce that Galaxy Group already owned a total of 37% of Wharf's shares, including the previous holdings of Wharf shares, and the reason why there are so many is also because it is optimistic about the future of Wharf.

At the same time, Galaxy will continue to acquire Wharf shares in cash at a price of HK$40 per share until the share holding reaches 49.9%.

As soon as the news came out, Wharf's stock price almost doubled, from the early 20s to 50.

Hong Kong, Connaught Building:

"Damn, this Chen Zhiwen, we have already sold Wellcome Supermarket to him cheaply, and he still has the idea of Wharf." Bao Fuda's face was exposed, and he said angrily.

"Suddenly there is 37% of the shares, it seems that as early as a few years ago, he was slowly buying Wharf's shares, otherwise, such a large trading volume, it is impossible not to be discovered." Although he was also angry, he quickly calmed down, anger is useless, it will only affect the right decision.

"It's been acquired a long time ago." Bao Fuda pondered for a moment and said: "It seems that Wharf was attacked by Chen Zhiwen when he was expanding his shares for financing, and we were still wondering why the stock market was not optimistic about Wharf's Harbour City plan at all, but it was able to get funds quickly every time it was raised." ”

"It's really ruthless enough, it seems that since Henry Keswick was still in Jardine, he has already begun to prepare for this matter, and it took 4 years before he officially started." Niu Bijian said with some emotion.

"Chen Zhiwen is much more difficult to deal with than Li Jiacheng, what should we do? Are you still looking for Shen Bi? Bao Fuda asked.

"Shen Bi, that old fox, it's not so easy to help, and you also said that letting HSBC come forward with a bunch of Li Jiacheng and dealing with Chen Zhiwen are two different things." Niu Bijian said with a frown.

Although the Jardine Matheson Group still seems to be huge, they insiders also know that the loss of Jardine Matheson's overseas investment is too serious, and during this time, they have been spending a lot of effort to deal with this matter, maybe in another year or two, they can dispose of the overseas business.

And this period of time, it can be said that Jardine Matheson is the weakest period in Hong Kong, before Li Jiacheng made a move on Wharf, Jardine Matheson will not be unable to deal with a Cheung Kong industry, but it will inevitably affect overseas business, so I asked Shen Bi for help.

But this time, the scale of assets is no less than that of Jardine Chen Zhiwen. How sure can Shen Bi be, and what he is not sure of, how can Shen Bi come forward casually.

Bao Fuda said: "Shen Bi may not be willing to help, but he is even more reluctant to face a Chen Zhiwen who has acquired Wharf, with the current Midea, Red Bull, Hutchison, Galaxy plus Chen Zhiwen's overseas assets, if HSBC still wants to sit firmly on the throne of Hong Kong's No. 1, it must not sit back and watch Chen Zhiwen get Wharf." ”

"You're right to say that." Niu Bijian nodded and said.

Bao Fuda continued: "Even if Shen Bi no longer comes forward for us, he can still provide us with funds, or some methods, to get Dory's group, which is still a bit level." ”

"Okay, then I'll go to HSBC now." Niu Bijian said.
