Chapter 486 Reactions and Responses from All Parties

“Their internal board of directors and management know it’s us, right?” Yang Wendong said with a smile.

“I don’t know yet, but I heard that they already suspected us because of the incident in Kinmen.” Fang Xianming replied.

Yang Wendong said: "Then tell them directly and tell them that I want a director seat and have a tougher attitude. I also want to see if people like the Hong Kong government and HSBC will intervene or do something. Little hands and feet.”

Historically, Chinese capital was constantly experimenting in the 1970s, starting with the strong acquisition of some medium-sized British capital, and then gradually expanding;

He is the same today, but it is just a few years ahead of schedule. This is true for both Kinmen and Whampoa. Relatively speaking, the importance of Kinmen is not that important to British capital. After all, it is just a construction company and a building in Central, while Whampoa Group His subordinates own a port, although this port is now gradually declining.

Of course, people from Kinmen Construction will accept the sale as soon as it is good, and sell it in a semi-good-faith manner. This is more likely to cause Hong Kong and British investors to have less opinions, but it is impossible for Yang Wendong to acquire it in good faith. There was a hostile takeover, so now it’s up to the Huangpu Group. They just want the director’s seat. In this way, they can retreat and defend or attack.

Fang Xianming said: "Okay, Yang Sheng, in addition, the Kinmen Group will announce this matter soon, and the same is probably true for Huangpu. I am afraid this will also have an impact on public opinion."
< br>"This is inevitable." Yang Wen Dong didn't care and said: "If the public opinion is big, you can help us."

In 1967, Hong Kong British were frightened. This would also facilitate them to achieve their own goals. Once Hong Kong British's bottom line was broken , then we can only maintain the new bottom line.

"Yang Wendong's acquisition of Kinmen Group kicks off the acquisition of British capital by Chinese capital?" 》

《Kinmen Group was acquired by Chinese capital, and Whampoa Group was asked to give up a board seat. Is British capital about to leave Hong Kong? "

"Yang Wendong targets British capital, what is his real purpose? 》

Many Chinese and English newspapers are reporting this matter crazily. Even on ordinary days, the acquisition of British-owned listed companies by Chinese capital is enough to become news, but now it is even more special. What exactly is this matter? Is it just business mergers and acquisitions, or other reasons?

One more thing, the big guy originally went public with the intention of making money from investors, but unexpectedly, he was acquired by someone else at this time?

In an office in Admiralty, Pao Yugang watched the news and laughed and said: "Yang Sheng, you really give me Chinese ambition. This is also the first time in Hong Kong's business history that someone has acquired a large British capital."

It is not surprising that Chinese capital acquires British capital. There are many small British capital companies that are not well managed and are favored by the Chinese. It is human nature to sell them. However, this is the first time that such a listed company has been acquired.

Another person said: "Yes, this matter is big news. It depends on what the Hong Kong government will do next."

"The Hong Kong government?" Bao Yugang said with a smile. : "In the current situation, they should not dare to be tough, but I guess they still want to protect British capital. Once this hole is opened, so many British capital in Hong Kong will be in danger in the future, especially A few years ago, in order to make money, many British capital companies were listed on the market. Now they can’t withdraw even if they want to.”

The person next to me said: “Yes, it’s not that easy to withdraw after going public. Now this is the case. At this time, many British investors want to run away. Yang Wendong was able to successfully acquire Kinmen Group. It is probably because their shareholders want to leave, and the same is true for Huangpu."

"Wait, I also want to know how the Hong Kong government will handle this matter. If Yang Wendong succeeds, then maybe we can give it a try later." There was also a hint of joy in Bao Yugang's eyes.

During this period, the maritime trade was so profitable that a large amount of money fell into his pocket like a waterfall, especially the several supertankers he purchased through HSBC funding in the early days. Now they are purchased by several companies in Europe, America and Japan. Rushing for it.

With enough funds, on the one hand, he is still investing in the purchase of ships. On the other hand, if there is an opportunity, he would not mind acquiring some ships or even the entire company from the British-owned shipping company in Hong Kong. Although over the years Chinese shipowners are on the rise, but British capital still accounts for a large share.

A bystander said: "I also hope that Yang Sheng can succeed, but I feel that he should pay more attention to Huangpu. Once he becomes a director, I do not rule out his next move."

" Yes, he has also invested in the terminal, and he indeed needs Huangpu more." Bao Yugang nodded and said: "But the port terminal is a British-owned company. If you really want to acquire it, it will be very difficult."

"It depends on how Yang Sheng responds. He now has enough confidence to compete with Hong Kong Ying." A person next to him also said.

Pao Yugang smiled and said: "That's right. This is the benefit of controlling employment. If he is dissatisfied and relocates some factories, tens of thousands of people will be unemployed, and the British Hong Kong government will have its head exploded."

North Point, Hong Kong Island:

Li Jiacheng looked at the newspaper in his hand and said with a smile: "My guess is good. When Yang Wendong's scale reaches a certain level, he will definitely find ways to annex British companies. These British companies have mastered too many high-quality assets, but their own management is poor, and they are not worthy of this wealth." "You really understand Yang Wendong." Zhuang Yueming said with a smile, holding out his 8-month-old belly.

Li Jiacheng shook his head and said: "It's not that I understand Yang Wendong, but I understand the mentality of capitalists. When the scale becomes large, they must expand. In fact, Yang Wendong is the least eager to annex British capital among the Chinese capital, because his capital can Overseas expansion, we other Chinese People don't have this condition;

It's just that Yang Wendong has grown rapidly because of his overseas success, and now he is the first to attack British capital."

"What are you thinking? What?" Zhuang Yueming asked again.

Li Jiacheng smiled and said: "I have also taken a fancy to some British companies, but they are not as big as Kinmen. These also have a lot of empty warehouses. The prices are very cheap now. As long as I buy If it succeeds, then when the real estate market recovers in the future, the profit will be more than ten times."

"Aren't you afraid? What do you think of failure?" Zhuang Yueming asked.

Li Jiacheng shook his head and said: "No, there is no essential difference between Hong Kong in 1949 and Hong Kong today. I believe it will be the same."

At this moment, many Chinese bosses are also staring at this Whether it's Kinmen or Huangpu, they are all medium-sized British companies and don't count, but the nature of what this thing represents is completely different.

Similarly, many senior managers in British-funded companies have also begun to take action. Things have not happened to them yet, but they also know that if they acquiesce, it is hard to say who will be next. Again, this Even if the incident cannot be stopped, everyone can still discuss a countermeasure.

The Hong Kong Governor's Office also secretly convened many gatherings of British capital;

In the conference room, more than twenty ghost guys crowded the conference table, and several people sat at the conference table. However, even if they control any British-funded enterprise, they still have tens of millions of capital.

After Hong Kong Governor Dai Linzhi came in, everyone stood up. Dai Linzhi waved and said: "Sit down."

After everyone sat down, Dai Linzhi looked directly at Coster of the Kinmen Group and Edward of the Huangpu Group, who were sitting in the middle, and asked Said: "Coster, Edward, can you two tell us what's going on first?"

Others He also looked at the two people. Normally, these two people would not sit in the middle, but today they are the protagonists, so it is naturally different;

Two days ago, they suddenly received news that they were also They were startled, and they began to discuss with each other, but it was just some internal discussions with good relations. It was not until the Hong Kong Governor came forward today that they all got together.

Coaster said: "Mr. Governor of Hong Kong, everyone, I also got the news less than a week ago. Someone is contacting many shareholders of Kinmen with the intention of purchasing stocks. They also offer foreign exchange dollars or pounds, and all are willing to sell. All shareholders were sold

Then Yang Wendong invited me and told me directly that he already owned 30% of the shares and wanted to acquire Kinmen Group. I originally refused, but later on when the board of directors was held, I found that many shareholders and even directors partially agreed to sell stocks or accept Changxing Group. to increase capital and buy shares, so I had no choice but to hold a vote and it passed. "

Edward followed: "My experience is similar to Coster's. It's simpler. People from Changxing Group came to me and said that they had 16% of the stock and wanted a director seat;

This is stipulated by law. It is impossible for me to resist the law and can only agree. However, I still delayed the board of directors on the grounds that not all directors were in Hong Kong, but it could only be ten days at most. This is also stipulated by law. "

After hearing this, HSBC Chief Executive Officer Sanders said: "It seems that Yang Wendong has been doing this for a long time, and his shares have been slowly acquired. Hong Kong stocks plummeted across the board some time ago, and many people panicked. to sell stocks, which gave him a good opportunity. "

"This is not important. Even on weekdays, he can gradually acquire shares. Once it is listed, it will be absolutely unsafe unless we have enough shares in our hands. "Another British ghost guy said.

"Yes." Many people started discussing again.

On the other hand, the British capitals such as Jardine Matheson, Wheelock, Swire, Hong Kong Electric, and the Kadoorie family don't care much. They are very large and have certain stock control. They are not worried at all, and the most important thing is What's more, they are the core of British capital. Even if Yang Wendong's financial resources reach the sky one day, will he be able to defeat the Hong Kong government?

Wealth and power can have an equal dialogue because power gives wealth this opportunity. In order to stabilize Hong Kong and stabilize the interests of British capital, the Hong Kong government gave Chinese capital certain rights and freedoms. If it really threatens British capital core rights and interests, that will definitely not work. Unless Hong Kong Ying is replaced by a greater power.
< br>Dai Linzhi also acquiesced to everyone's discussion, and then said: "Everyone, be quiet for a while, Sanders, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Sanders paused and said, "This matter The matter is settled and cannot be dealt with forcefully. It is better to negotiate with Yang Wendong.”
