Galaxy Tower, Hong Kong.

"Guo Sheng, it's really early." As soon as Chen Zhiwen arrived at the company, he saw that Guo Henian was already waiting for him, which was earlier than the time they had agreed.

"There's no way, now the reporters in Hong Kong are staring at me, I can only leave the hotel in advance, and fortunately, the Hilton Hotel cooperated to cover up, otherwise I might be discovered by some reporters when I came here." Guo Henian said with a smile.

"I see." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, what Hilton Hotels are best at is keeping secrets for hotel customers, which has nothing to do with him, but an operational strategy of Hilton hotels around the world, and because of this, many celebrities like to stay here, because the hotel is particularly strict with reporters.

"Chen Sheng, I know that you, like Bao Sheng, have bought a lot of shares in big hotels, and I can buy them at 20% of the current market price, how about it?" Guo Henian said.

"You have already acquired the shares in Bao Yugang's hands?" Chen Zhiwen asked, "Yes, I also bought his shares at the same price." Guo Henian said.

"So you really want to buy the big hotel?" Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, "Okay, I can sell it to you at this price." ”

At the beginning, he and Bao Yugang set a strategy, is to carry out a feint attack on the hotel, the actual attack on the China Power Group, but even if it is a feint, you also need to have a certain number of stocks in your hands, plus in the past two years, with the recovery of tourism and the doubling of land prices, the stock price of the hotel group has risen very considerably, even if it is only used as an investment, you can also make a lot of money, plus because of the acquisition, the share price of the hotel has risen sharply, and then increase by 20% on this basis, then your investment can really be regarded as a high return.

"Thank you, with the stocks in the hands of the two of you, I am much more sure." Guo Henian said with a smile: "The Kadoorie family only owns 12% of the shares of the big hotel, so I have become a bigger shareholder than them." ”

"The only problem is the shares in the hands of the Liang family, and whoever can buy the shares in their hands now will win." Chen Zhiwen continued.

Those who know a little about the history of Hong Kong's business war may know that in 1985, when Bao Yugang was preparing to acquire Wheelock, the world knew that the real major shareholder of Wheelock was the Zhang Yuliang family.

In fact, the same is true for the Grand Hotel Group, the Kadoorie family is actually only the second largest shareholder, and the first is a family surnamed Liang.

"I have made an appointment with this Mr. Liang Zhonghao, he has 20% of the shares of the hotel, as long as he is done, the hotel will be fine." Guo Henian said with a smile.

"The relationship between the Liang family and the Kadoorie family is not bad, how are you going to convince him?" Chen Zhiwen asked with a smile, because they were only preparing to feint against the hotel before, so they had never contacted the Liang family, but since the Liang family had given the management of the hotel to the Kadoorie family, they still trusted them very much.

"The core of the Kadoorie family in recent years has been placed in China Power, and the Liang family has actually had an opinion for a long time, but they are not easy to fall out, as long as my bid is high enough, I think it should not be a problem." Guo Henian said with a smile.

"Indeed, I hope Guo Sheng can achieve his wish as soon as possible." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile that Guo Henian has developed in Southeast Asia all his life, and his financial resources are actually no less than Bao Yugang's to obtain the title of "World Sugar King".

"If it succeeds this time, if Chen Sheng is interested, when I become the owner of the hotel, Chen Sheng can also reinvest as a shareholder, anyway, according to Hong Kong law, I only have a maximum of 34.9% equity." Guo Henian said with a smile.

"Okay, no problem." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "However, because of Bao Sheng's purpose, so the acquisition of this hotel, can only Guo Sheng himself, as far as I know, Kadoorie went to HSBC yesterday, and it is estimated that he borrowed a sum of money." ”

"Don't worry, Chen Sheng, I've been prepared, you just have to wait and watch the show." Guo Henian said confidently.

"Okay, I'll just wait to see the show." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

Although Guo Henian did not dominate much in Hong Kong, he was able to rise in Southeast Asia and become a local down payment, his ability is undoubtedly undoubted, and there is certainly no shortage of relevant talents.

Moreover, this is also a process for him to prove his ability, with Chen Zhiwen and Bao Yugang previously acquired about 14% of the hotel shares, if you can't do it, then how can you invest in Hong Kong?

Because of the current high stock price, neither Kadoorie nor Kwok Henian continued to buy in the stock market, but used their connections to try to convince other shareholders to either sell their shares to themselves or promise other benefits to support them.

What is the specific, Chen Zhiwen is not clear, and there is no need to ask, he has already gained some benefits, so he will wait.

It was fast to mid-July.

Half a month has passed since Guo Henian's official public acquisition of the hotel, during this time, the shares of the hotel group are very strange, sometimes rushing into the sky, sometimes falling like a waterfall, the two sides in the stock market large-scale acquisition, or suddenly the news of a party to give up, constantly all kinds of rumors spread everywhere in the stock market, for a while it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

One day at noon, Bao Yugang came to the Hilton Hotel again, because there was no harassment from reporters, Guo Henian has also been living here during this time, Chen Zhiwen naturally needless to say, he is the owner of the property here, and it is normal to come here, besides, Hilton has also been preparing a suite for him for a long time.

"Both, let me tell you a good news, Liang Zhonghao is already willing to sell half of his shares to me, so that the shares in my hands will exceed 25%." In addition to Hu Yingxiang, who went to the mainland to deal with investment matters, several people from the Taishan Club were also complete, and Guo Henian shared the good news.

"He still has 10% in his hands, so would he like to vote for you at the shareholder meeting?" Bao Yugang asked.

Guo Henian shook his head and said: "He is unwilling, because the relationship between the Liang family and the Kadoorie family is very good, at the beginning, he didn't even want to see me, and it was I who gave him certain benefits in Southeast Asia that he agreed to trade."

But no matter what I offered, he would only be willing to sell half of the shares, otherwise the acquisition would have basically won. ”

"He probably doesn't want to put his eggs in one basket, whether it's Hong Kong or Southeast Asia." Chen Zhiwen analyzed.

As the time moves towards the 80s, many people in Hong Kong are considering whether to immigrate, for some middle-class families in Hong Kong, this is a choice between the two, but for the super-rich, it is a matter of distribution, which is also the golden age of investing in Hong Kong in the 80s.

"In any case, your stake has far exceeded that of the Grand Hotel Group, and as long as you get another 34.9% of the shares, you need to find a way to hold a shareholders' meeting and let all shareholders vote for you, so that the real acquisition can be considered a success." Bao Yugang thought for a while and said.

This is also a very unfriendly policy towards "hostile takeovers" nowadays, which cannot be acquired at 34.9%, and then it is necessary to rely on the shareholders' meeting to obtain the management of the company, but it is more difficult for a company that has no big problems in operating to kick out the original management.

"I've been preparing for this for a long time, and my people are already reaching out to some shareholders to give them enough benefits to vote for me when the time comes." Guo Henian said.

"What have the Kadoorie family been doing lately? In addition to acquisitions on the stock market? Chen Zhiwen asked.

"It's the same, I'm trying to convince the shareholders, but there are so many shareholders, he can't convince everyone, as long as I can get the extra 15%, that's enough, as long as the money is in place, there will be no difficulty." Guo Henian said with a smile.

"That means you need to buy another 10%, how are you going to buy it?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"Cut through the mess quickly, I am ready to buy it directly in the stock market tomorrow at a high price in cash, 70 Hong Kong dollars a share, only 500 million Hong Kong dollars is enough." Guo Henian said.

"500 million? That's too high, isn't it? Bao Yugang frowned and said.

"In fact, it is acceptable, the location of the Peninsula Hotel itself is excellent, and there are also a large number of properties under the Waiga Hotel, and it can still be profitable to develop it." Guo Henian thought for a while, and then asked, 'What does Chen Sheng think?' ’
