460 Land in hand

24% voted in favor, which is naturally not approved at the general shareholders' meeting.

However, it is different here, the 35% voting rights of Yizhi Mutual Control were abolished, and the rest was 65%, and the 21% in Chen Zhiwen's hands naturally agreed, adding up to 45%, accounting for 69% of the 65% ratio, exceeding the normal requirement of 66.7%.

The rest of the others, no matter how much they oppose it, is useless, there is not only the credit of the persuasion of the precise positioning of the new wall, but also the role of Chen Zhiwen's capital in Hong Kong, for a normal shareholder investor, he must still hope that the company he invests in can operate normally, instead of being forced into debt, the project is stagnant, and the stock price has fallen to the price of cabbage. It's just that most of the people in this world are mortals, and everyone only looks at short-term interests.

"It's over." Niu Bijian also knew that his mission was over, although the Jardine Group had not been acquired by Chen Zhiwen, but if Chen Zhiwen wanted to, it was a matter of time, and even if he did not acquire it, the Keswick family would definitely not be able to keep him.

"It seems that the benefits that Chen Zhiwen has given you must not be low." Simon Keswick said coldly.

"It's none of your business, he is also the majority shareholder of Hongkong Land, and he has more shares than yours, what qualifications do you have to comment." Niu Bijian was too lazy to pay attention to the person in front of him, and the lowest amount of control over Jardine Land was less than 10 points, and he was embarrassed to talk about Jardine Land every day It belonged to their family, which had nothing to do with today's affairs, as early as many years ago, the two sides had many conflicts because of this.

If the Keswick family really has a large number of shares, then he, a professional manager, can naturally only work for others under others, but just a few points, and he still stands on his head every day and commands, who can stand it? The contradiction has been there for a long time.

"Which family Jardine belongs to, the whole of Hong Kong knows." Simon Keswick said.

"Wharf also belonged to Jardine Matheson before? Did it work? Niu Bijian said lazily: "Soon, I will ask Jardine Matheson Group again to carry out a share expansion financing, do you guess Chen Zhiwen is not interested?" ”

"I'm against it." Simon Keswick was really anxious.

"Yes, you have 10% of the voting rights, and you can vote against it later." After Niu Bijian finished speaking, he said to the shareholders below: "Everyone, because of the economic crisis, Jardine's investment in Hong Kong and overseas has also suffered certain losses, so this conference, there will also be a share expansion financing for Jardine Matheson, with a capital demand of about 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the shareholder is Hong Kong's Hutchison Group, so you can vote on this issue."

Or is it the same rule, if you can get enough votes today, then it will pass, or if you have enough votes again, then you will not pass, and if you are in the middle, then you need to wait a few more days before voting again? How is it? ”

"Okay." Someone in the group below suddenly replied loudly, and they didn't know if they really agreed or if they had prepared it a long time ago.

Simon Keswick's face was pale, and he did only have 10% of the voting rights.

"It seems that we are nine out of ten this time, and Jardine Matheson will also be taken." Chen Zhiwen looked at many people downstairs voting in favor and said with a smile.

"Newbijian has come to us, and this help has really saved us at least one billion Hong Kong dollars." Zhou Jiayang on the side sighed.

"It's a good undercover agent, it's too useful." Chen Zhiwen nodded, if Niu Bijian does not take refuge, it will be impossible to vote on whether to introduce Chen Zhiwen's capital at today's shareholders' meeting, which is the difference between 0 and 1, otherwise it can only be forcibly acquired in the stock market.

It is even more important that Nexus knows the majority of the shareholders of Jardine Land, which saves a lot of cost and time. It is equivalent to the time when you fought in the past, and you know all the information about the previous battle methods, firepower, and numbers of the opposing generals, how can you be invincible.

"Then the next problem we need to face is the monstrous debt of Land, and now that it is in our own hands, it will be a bit of a headache." Zhou Jiayang smiled and said, when I watched the excitement of Hongkong Land before, I felt that the bigger the debt, the more refreshing, but now that it is in my own hands, it will be troublesome.

"Don't think too much, no matter what, Hongkong Land will not consider selling property to pay off debts, but some businesses can be considered for sale, such as the food business before the dairy company, which is good for Red Bull, I will let Red Bull sort out a reasonable price, and other non-real estate businesses can also be operated in this way, unless it is too much to sell now, otherwise Land, you only need to keep the real estate business." Chen Zhiwen said.

Although Red Bull Capital is definitely stronger than Milk International, but after all, the development time is short, in addition to Red Bull Beverage itself, the foundation in the field of dairy products and food is still too weak, the acquisition of a century-old food company, even if the company has a long-term business in Hong Kong and a small number of Southeast Asian countries, will also be greatly improved, the most important thing is that the culture is close and easy to integrate, and this is the acquisition of foreign food companies can not be compared.

In addition to the functional drink market, other beverage and food markets have long been monopolized by the old giants, Red Bull may have the opportunity to get a little bit of a small market, but it can't get a bigger cake, the only opportunity to do big in the future is the domestic market, and the tastes and eating habits of Hong Kong and some Southeast Asian countries are similar to the mainland.

Of course, Southeast Asia will also be a good market in the future.

Hongkong Land's main business is real estate, but over the years, it has also begun to expand in different directions, and Wellcome Supermarket a few years ago was one of them.

For the future positioning of Hongkong Land, Chen Zhiwen just hopes that it can do real estate with peace of mind, although the rent collection is low-level, but it is the most stable, especially Hong Kong's real estate, the future increase will be very terrifying, even if you do not consider how many investment opportunities in the mainland in the future, just look at Hong Kong, Hongkong Land will be much stronger in its own hands than in the original history, because in the late 1980s in the original history, Hongkong Land sold several buildings in Central, cashed out funds and left Hong Kong, which can be said to be the most smelly move in the history of Hongkong Land.

"The general manager of Land, who is the better arranger?" Zhou Jiayang asked again, although he was responsible for the acquisition of Hongkong Land, and a lot of funds were also acquired by Hutchison, Chen Zhiwen had already said at the beginning of the acquisition that Hongkong Land would operate independently like Wharf in the future.

"Let's pick it from our inside, Hongkong Land, this kind of company, the main business is the same as Wharf, it is relatively simple, and it does not need people with strong ability, just be stable." Chen Zhiwen said indifferently, the scale is large, but Hongkong Land and Wharf are indeed simple businesses, far from Hutchison, not to mention Midea and Red Bull, which need to compete in the global market.

For at least 10 years, Hongkong Land and Wharf will not have any major development opportunities in Hong Kong, because the scale of the two companies has basically reached the upper limit of the Hong Kong market, and it is impossible to increase the scale several times no matter how much they expand, which is similar to Hutchison's real estate business in Hong Kong.

Of course, if you invest a lot of capital is not impossible, but in doing so, the future reputation is not expected to be good, although the Hong Kong real estate market is highly profitable, but as a traverser, there are many other places that you know, in Hong Kong, the current scale is already very large, there is no need to continue to spend money desperately, just say that the real estate market, with Land, Wharf plus a large amount of land hoarded by Hutchison before, the area is definitely several times that of the second place in Hong Kong, and the average value is very high, if you desperately buy land, In the future, the charge of high housing prices in Hong Kong will hang on his head, and it is better to rely on capital to invest in a large number of other real estate companies, which can become bigger and have strong capabilities, so that these people can make money for themselves, which is more convenient.

As for the mainland market, it will certainly not be until at least the late 90s to accommodate the large investment of Hong Kong's big capital, and the real scale may not be until the 21st century, which is still early.

"Okay, then pick a suitable part with a few other people, and then hand it over to Chen Sheng." Zhou Jiayang nodded and said.

"Jardine Matheson's vote is out?" Chen Zhiwen looked at the movements of the people below and said.

"Didn't get enough tickets? It seems that Newbijian's guess is right, and the Keswick family has more influence over Jardine Matheson shareholders than Hongkong Land. Zhou Jiayang looked at the data below and said.

Jardine Matheson this financing vote, but including its own shares, only got 36% of the votes, that is to say, after deducting the 35% controlled by Hongkong Land, his side is equivalent to getting 55% in favor, although it exceeds 50%, but it cannot be said to be an absolute victory, because the remaining groups, once they make up 33.4% of the votes against, it is a veto.

"It's only temporary, let's just try a little more in the next few days and convince more people." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said: "Even if it doesn't work anymore, as long as we privatize Hongkong Land after the land is in hand, once the privatization is successful, Yizhi Mutual Control will no longer exist, then, 35% of the shares in Hongkong Land's hands will have the right to vote, and at that time, Yihe will be ours." ”

"Chen Sheng, you want to privatize Hongkong Land?" Zhou Jiayang was a little surprised, after the previous acquisition of Wharf, Chen Zhiwen was not privatized, to talk about value, Harbour City is actually not inferior to Hongkong Land's several Central buildings.

"Yes, that's the plan." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "Before the acquisition of Wharf, the stock price went up, and the cost of privatization will be very high later, and then it has been stable, and there are many opportunities in overseas markets, this matter is over, and now Wharf is also stable, and there is no need to privatize again."

Hongkong Land, thanks to Niu Bijian, so that we did not go through a forced acquisition, and the stock price has not risen, at this time, my direct privatization is the simplest and lowest cost, otherwise after a year, I am afraid it will be difficult. ”

The upper limit of the Wharf is still very low, the original history, the Wharf in the hands of the Bao family and the follow-up Bao Yugang son-in-law Wu family operated for decades, the core business is still Harbour City and Times Square, the other is a few buildings built in China, although in their own hands may not be the same, but since it is a listed company, more than half of the equity in the hands of outsiders, he naturally can not fully invest, at most appropriate to give some benefits, some small opportunities.

And the big opportunity, naturally is given to his own sole proprietorship, Hutchison is one of them, but it can't be completely given to Hutchison, Chen Zhiwen needs another wholly-owned company with relatively strong capital and strong foundation to diversify investment, which is equivalent to diversification, after all, even if he has a golden finger, he can only give a few opportunities, and the rest still has to rely on the company itself.

Hongkong Land is the most suitable target, and once privatized, he will not only have access to Hongkong Land's dozen buildings in Central, Hong Kong, but also the expansion of properties in various parts of Hong Kong. While these expansions were the root cause of the previous Land's debt crisis, it would only take a few years for them to be a source of windfall profits.
