"Shen Bi, this old man, is a peacemaker again." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, in the past two days, he has been waiting for news from Shen Bi, and now that he has received this invitation, it is expected.

Zhou Jiayang said: "From HSBC's point of view, Shen Bi definitely doesn't want us to buy Wharf. ”

"I've already bought 40% of the shares, and he wants to persuade me to let go, but I'm curious what kind of conditions they can put forward." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.

"It seems to be the Hongmen Banquet." Zhou Jiayang said with a smile.

Chen Zhiwen nodded and said to the assistant: "You call back and reply, saying that I have something to do in the past few days, and after ten days and half a month, I will make an appointment with them when I have time." ”

"Okay." The assistant agreed to come down and immediately returned to the top.

Chen Zhiwen asked again: "How many shares of Land Acquisition do we have now?" ”

"Almost 8.8%, Hongkong Land's shares, not like Wharf to expand the financing, not like Hutchison has been falling, once we acquire quickly, it is easy to cause alarm, if it is not for the original Hongkong Land milk when a large number of Hongkong shares in the secondary market, we want to acquire I am afraid it will be more difficult." Zhou Jiayang explained.

Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said: "Today is just Jardine Matheson and HSBC released the news, I suspect that they are doing the bureau, want to use this time to pull up the stock price, let me sit at the negotiating table, in this case, we will also calculate, you arrange someone to release the news, saying that the reason why HSBC agreed to help Jardine Matheson is because Hongkong Land has re-mortgaged a large number of its stocks and assets, and the interest rate is very high, and it will be spread to the whole Hong Kong people." ”

Although there is no specific financial situation of the Jardine Matheson, they are not willing to fight Li Jiacheng's acquisition, so it is even more impossible to face themselves, even if HSBC really lends money to Jardine Matheson, Jardine Matheson may not really want to use this money to burn with Chen Zhiwen, even Chen Zhiwen is reluctant.

Then, the possibility of this is a bureau is very high, and after the news is released, I immediately invite myself to a meeting, just to take advantage of this gap to have a negotiation, whether it succeeds or fails, and things are done.

But as long as they drag it, then the news of the high-priced acquisition of Wharf shares released by Jardine Matheson will be confirmed to be true or false, once it is fake, the Wharf stock will plummet immediately, and its side may get enough shares within a few days, which is absolutely a complete failure for Jardine Matheson, and if you want to maintain the credibility of the information, then you can only really spend real money to acquire, and now the stock price is 60 Hong Kong dollars.

"Chen Sheng is so powerful, we can also take the opportunity to deliberately release news to suppress Hongkong Land's stock price, so as to acquire more Hongkong Land shares." Zhou Jiayang suddenly understood the boss's thoughts.

60 Hong Kong dollars a share, that is, Jardine Matheson's financial situation is no problem, and it can't bear such an acquisition, Wharf's stock price has increased several times, and now Jardine has 20% of the shares in his hands, and he has 40% of it, at this price, Jardine Matheson acquires 10%, it will cost 600 million Hong Kong dollars, almost only a little smaller than the total market value of the previous Wharf, and the combined market value of Jardine Land is less than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it is impossible to bear it if it costs 600 million on it.

As for what Jardine Matheson does, it doesn't matter, now that HSBC has expressed its full support for Jardine Matheson, as long as the news is released that Hongkong Land has taken on a large number of high-interest liabilities, Hongkong Land shares will inevitably fall sharply, and it is easiest to fish in troubled waters during this kind of sharp fall.

"In the past few days, once the stock price of Hongkong Land falls, I will go all out to buy it, and when it is right, I will sell a lot of money to cause panic, and strive to acquire 16% as soon as possible, so that I will have the right to vote on the board of directors." Chen Zhiwen said.

According to Hong Kong law, once a shareholder or a group of shareholders of a listed company holds 16% of the company's shares, they can automatically get a seat on the board of directors with 20% voting rights.

"Okay, this is also a sleepy pillow, and I've been worrying about how to quickly acquire Hongkong shares." Zhou Jiayang said with a smile.

"Don't worry about the funds, but don't waste it, just take the most shares with the least amount of money, maybe in half a year, I will have to sell these shares, or mortgage." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said.

Nowadays, his main industries are two that can generate a lot of profits, one is the Wal-Mart stock that he invested in in the early stage, Sam Walton is rapidly expanding the Wal-Mart supermarket, and the value of Wal-Mart stock in Chen Zhiwen's hands is also rising rapidly, but these stocks are basically mortgaged to fund Costco's expansion, and Costco's profits are repaid with interest, forming a balance, and the other is Midea's arcade.

As for other industries, Red Bull still implements the non-profit target to ensure the absolute monopoly of the future market, unless it is a last resort, Chen Zhiwen does not want to break Red Bull's plan, Midea's home appliances are also mainly dependent on Costco, and they can make money, but very little, and the scale of Hutchison and Galaxy's real estate business is not small, but it has not yet come to the end, and the funds have not yet fully returned.

The funds for the acquisition of Wharf and Hongkong Land shares are basically from Midea's overseas arcade profits, because they cannot be known to outsiders, so they cannot take out loans, and in the past few years, the three games have obtained almost $300 million in net profits after tax, that is, 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars.

It seems like a lot, but when it comes to the forcible acquisition of Wharf and the planning of a certain share of Land, if you don't use it carelessly, it may be a little stretched, it is true that you can use the loan now that the acquisition war is announced, but you can reduce the cost to reduce the cost, after all, by the end of this year, but there is a feast of the financial market, the more cash in your hand, the better.

At that time, if you still have Hongkong Land shares in your hands, you also need to find a way to convert them into cash, but you don't necessarily need to sell them, and you can also mortgage them like Walmart shares.

"Understood." Zhou Jiayang nodded and said, his eyes were also full of joy, once he became a shareholder of Hongkong Land, he could contain the Jardine Matheson system, and the success rate of Wharf's acquisition would be basically stable.

"It's just like that, it's a bit of a shame for HSBC." Xu Jinhong on the side said.

"If you don't give it, what can they do with me?" Chen Zhiwen said disdainfully.

"What? Chen Zhiwen refuses to meet, and he has to wait for half a month? When Niu Bijian heard the news, his eyeballs almost bulged out with anger.

"I didn't expect Chen Zhiwen to give HSBC this face." Diess said with some annoyance, he originally thought that if Shen Bi personally sent out the invitation, it would be impossible for Chen Zhiwen not to give face, after all, no matter how big Chen Zhiwen is now, he is still in Hong Kong, and HSBC is Hong Kong's "quasi-central bank".

"So what now? I really used the funds to buy Wharf shares, and now it is more than 60 yuan a share, and once we buy it, the stock price may rise. Niu Bijian's hands were trembling slightly.

Shen Bi sat there, seemed to be in a daze, and said after a while: "This is indeed beyond my expectations, I have a good relationship with Chen Zhiwen in recent years, and HSBC often cooperates with Galaxy or Hutchison, and even when he acquired Hutchison, I agreed to it first, otherwise he would not have succeeded in the acquisition, and I would not have thought of it." ”

"It seems that you still think of him too well, this group of Chinese, you are God when you need you, once you are not needed, you are a stranger on the side of the road, Chen Zhiwen has now become bigger, and he also has deep relationships with many banks overseas, and he doesn't need HSBC at all." Newbijian sneered that he had intended to call strangers dogs, but such words were too harsh to say in line with their English gentlemanly demeanor.

"I also thought that you would definitely succeed, even if the negotiation failed, at least you could get closer to Chen Zhiwen's plan, but no one has seen it now, but our promise has been issued, what should we do?" Niu Bijian said with a frown.

"Then we have to buy it." Shen Bi thought for a while and said: "Once Jardine does not abide by Cigna, then Chen Zhiwen's side will soon acquire enough shares, and this battle will be over, and it may also affect the credibility of Jardine Matheson in the stock market in the future." ”

"This matter can't be borne by my Yihe family, right?" Niu Bijian almost vomited blood in anger, but now he put himself in a dilemma.

In fact, he didn't expect that Chen Zhiwen would really risk turning his face with HSBC to refuse to meet him. After all, it's one thing to forcibly buy Wharf without listening to HSBC's advice, in the face of Chen Zhiwen's absolute strength, Shen Bi won't say anything even if he's unhappy, but now he doesn't even come out, that is, he really doesn't give face, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to cooperate in the future.

"I can give you the lowest interest, the same as a bank deposit, this time HSBC will not make your money, and even the service fee will be waived." Shen Bi also said with an ugly face.

HSBC's Taipan, even if he asks the governor of Hong Kong to come out, he will not be refused, and before Shen Bi did the Taipan, when he was still the general manager of HSBC, he had never heard of anyone, even if it was Henry Keswick, who was in full swing at the time, he would give a face to come out for a meal, after all, it was not a trouble to come out to meet in itself.

This time, Chen Zhiwen did not give face, which made him embarrassed in front of his subordinates and Yihe.

"What's the interest, I'm now forced to buy a stock that was originally worth only HK$10 a share for HK$60?" Niu Bijian said even more difficultly.

"Then we can only buy a small amount first and see the market feedback." Shen Bi thought for a while and said: "Besides, even if there is no such thing, Chen Zhiwen has been acquired at 40 Hong Kong dollars, you can either give up, or you can only increase the weight, right?" Now it's just a one-step increase, and the price has increased a little more. ”

"Ugh." After thinking about it carefully, it is true, the capital prepared by the other party is stronger, and at the same time, it has been laid out for a long time, Jardine Matheson really has no choice, and Niu Bijian has no choice but to give up, and it is also very good to be able to get the lowest interest loan from HSBC.

Shen Bi continued: "Chen Zhiwen is obviously ready to use the procrastination technique, so you should think clearly about what you should do, otherwise too much money will be consumed, and you will be dragged into the water." ”

Shen Bi doesn't like Jardine Matheson, nor does he like Jardine, but he is now more worried about Chen Zhiwen, and he can only cooperate with Neobijian, and now ordinary people in Hong Kong think that this is Jardine + HSBC to fight against Chen Zhiwen, the new rising Chinese, once lost, not only Jardine Matheson will lose Wharf, but HSBC will also lose face.

But it doesn't work if you don't interfere, it's just that you haven't lost face today, but in the future, Chen Zhiwen will be bigger on a larger scale, and I'm afraid the ending will be the same.

This year's HSBC Taipan originally thought that he would take HSBC to the top, but he didn't expect to meet a monster like Chen Zhiwen.

Far sea, inside a large cruise ship.

The three members of the Chen family are leisurely blowing the sea breeze, at this moment the northern hemisphere belongs to winter, the temperature of the sea outside Hong Kong is not very high, and the sun intensity is not strong.

"Son, you're overseas, aren't you afraid of anything unexpected in Hong Kong?" Chen Tianfu asked.

"There is a satellite phone on the ship, and the Hong Kong side can be contacted at any time, and again, the Hong Kong side knows my location, and if I can't get in touch, a helicopter will come over immediately." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"Satellite phones, I've heard of them, but I haven't used them." Chen Tianfu thought for a while and said.

"This thing is used at sea or in the desert Gobi area, even if you leave Hong Kong, you will go to major cities around the world, of course you don't need this thing." Chen Zhiwen said: "However, the United States has invented a wireless communication telephone, which can make calls without a telephone cord, but the cost is too high, and a large number of telecommunications equipment needs to be installed, which has not yet been popularized." ”

"Cordless phone? Like the telegram? Chen Tianfu became interested.

"Yes, the phone weighs about one or two pounds, put it on us, we can contact others at any time, it is much more convenient, it is estimated that in a few years, the Hong Kong telephone company will also do this business." Chen Zhiwen said.

"That's a lot more convenient." Chen Tianfu nodded and said, "No matter what this call is, if you don't give Shen Bi face this time, will it have an impact in the future?" ”

"There must be, but as long as you can get it to Wharf, it's still worth it." Chen Zhiwen said: "Hengyi's future projects, don't go to HSBC, it's the same on my side, wait a few years, time will smooth everything, as long as there are interests, no one will hold grudges so much." ”

Developed to his current scale, HSBC is no longer a must rely on the existence, although if the relationship is much more convenient, but it is still not worth giving up the Wharf, as early as a few years ago, he set a strategy that would rather offend HSBC and get the Wharf.

And once he got the Wharf and became an established fact, Shen Bi was helpless.

"This is also, again, Shen Bi is also older, and he will always retire from HSBC." Chen Tianfu said with a smile: "Being young is your biggest capital." ”

"That's right." Chen Zhiwen smiled.

"Then should we transfer our current loan with HSBC as well?" Chen Tianfu asked again.

"No need, if Shen Bi really uses these to embarrass me, then I overestimate him, and if he doesn't have any energy, he is not worthy of being a senior at HSBC." Chen Zhiwen said. This has nothing to do with his prophetic golden finger, but the basic rules that he has learned in the mall over the years. A normal businessman would not hurt his enemies for the sake of face.

"Okay, then it's a rare opportunity for us to take this vacation." Chen Tianfu said with a smile.
