Chapter 546 Indirect plot against Milk International
We still have to wait for next year's auction to get an answer on the dock matter, so we just need to prepare funds now. In terms of funds, in Hong Kong, except for HSBC, no other institution is estimated to be able to match the Changxing Group.
Time soon arrived in early December. On this day, Changxing Group welcomed a guest, and Yang Wendong also received it personally;
"Hello, Li Sheng." Yang Wendong shook hands with the visitor and smiled;
There are many people with the surname Li in Hong Kong. In the past life, there were two surnamed Li from the four major families; however, it is not these two who are here today, but another important person in the financial field, Li Fushu, who is the founder of the Far East Fair. , will also be the head of the future merger of the four major exchanges in Hong Kong.
Li Fushu smiled and said: "Hello, Yang Sheng, I have admired your name for a long time, and my brother has mentioned you many times."
"Haha, you're welcome, please sit down." Yang Wendong greeted.
Of course, Li Fushu did not start from scratch. His father, Li Shipeng, was one of the founders of the Bank of East Asia. The Li family has three sons, each with his own strengths. Li Fushu did not inherit the family bank, but once worked in an overseas bank. After returning to Hong Kong, he discovered that China It was difficult for foreign-funded companies to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which was controlled by British capital, so they planned to establish a Chinese exchange.
After the two chatted for a while, Li Fushu said directly: "Yang Sheng, you also know that the Far East Exchange is about to be established, so I would like to invite Changxing Group or your subsidiaries to list at the Far East Exchange."
"In the short term, Changxing Group is not going public." Yang Wendong shook his head and said.
He also guessed Li Fushu's purpose for finding him. The only thing the two of them could discuss was this kind of financial cooperation;
If you don’t know the future and have to do everything the same as other normal businessmen, you may consider going public for financing, reducing risks, increasing the size of funds, etc. But going public even though you know the future is tantamount to doing charity.
Li Fushu asked in confusion: "Yang Sheng, I know that Changxing Group is not short of money, but after going public, it can use financial means to make more money. Otherwise, there are so many large companies in Europe, America and even Japan, and many of them are not short of money." It’s money, but everyone is basically listed.”
"I know, what I mean is that I will not go public for the time being. I will talk about it later when I need to go public." Yang Wendong did not say anything;
If one day some prophetic golden fingers are not very helpful and need the investment of other capital resources, then perhaps we can consider financing and listing;
Another advantage after being listed is that a lot of people are bound to it, so it may be more convenient when doing a lot of things;
But in general, it is definitely not needed at the moment.
"Isn't there any one?" Li Fushu still asked unwillingly: "Yang Sheng, the Far East will be a Chinese exchange. Any Chinese hopes that it can be an instant success, so I also hope that there will be a well-known company with full potential. companies to go public;
In the whole of Hong Kong, your company is actually very suitable for it, Yang Sheng. I guarantee that I will carry out enough publicity so that the market value of your company will increase significantly after it goes public and you will be able to raise enough funds. ”
"There is no need to persuade, I will not go public." After Yang Wendong finished speaking, he saw that Li Fushu was a little disappointed, so he added: "But if Li Sheng is thinking that Far East will become an instant success, I can help with this. ”
Li Fushu suddenly became interested: "Yang Sheng, how can I help?"
Yang Wendong said: "The requirements for this instant success are very simple. Either a large company goes public, similar to Jardine Matheson in 1961, and the stock price breaks the record and many people become rich;
If there are no such big companies, then as long as some of the listed companies have achieved good results, each company has raised a lot of funds, and the participating investors have also made a lot of money, then it will naturally become popular;
As long as the first day goes well, more companies will be listed later and more investors will participate. Isn't this a positive cycle? ”
The essence of financial games is actually confidence. Just like real estate, as long as everyone believes that they can make money, even Bitcoins with no value can be speculated into worth tens of thousands of dollars;
And if the market has no confidence, then even high-quality stocks will fall into decline. For example, in the past life of A-shares, the market value of a stock was less than the company's net profit for a year. It is outrageous, but it is reality.
Li Fushu was also a smart man and asked: "Yang Sheng means that you will buy stocks of listed companies on a large scale that day?"
"Yes, but not every one, I will also have a choice." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Li Fushu asked: "Which companies are Yang Sheng optimistic about? I will send the information over immediately."
Although Yang Wendong was not persuaded to list his company, if Yang Wendong was willing to invest enough funds to increase the stock price that day, it would be of great help to his career.
"No need, your company information has long been made public, I have it here." Yang Wendong added: "But your association should pay attention to one issue, review the correctness of some company information, otherwise false information will appear, then the investment The person will suffer heavy losses.”
Of course, Yang Wendong is very clear about the future giant companies in Hong Kong, but it is impossible to remember the mid-sized companies;
Therefore, he will not invest in traditional industries or even manufacturing unless it is helpful to his career. However, real estate companies are relatively less risky, especially companies with a lot of land;
These small companies are not worth sending people to talk to, but if these companies are listed, there is no problem in acquiring some by the way.
"Okay, I will also pay attention to this." Li Fushu said with a smile.
After the meeting, Li Fushu left, and Fang Xianming, who was in charge of Changxing Finance, rushed over. Yang Wendong informed him of the previous events. "Don't worry, Yang Sheng. I have also prepared funds. The target is also 6 real estate companies. They all have some good properties." Fang Xianming said.
Yang Wendong nodded and said: "Okay, let's keep an eye on the real estate company first. As long as the company has no major problems, it will be fine. Anyway, we won't hold it for a long time."
Before the next round of stock market crash, he will naturally sell off non-core stocks; but it is unclear when the next stock market crash will be. History may be deeply affected by it. It can only be said that it will wait until the Hang Seng Index rises to a very high level. You can sell it, as long as you don’t make the last penny.
"Yes, Yang Sheng." Fang Xianming agreed.
Yang Wendong asked again: "What happened to the stocks of the companies we acquired before?"
Fang Xianming replied: "Currently among the stocks of several companies we are interested in, the one we have acquired the most is Dairy Milk International, which holds a total of 10.1% of the shares, followed by Wharf with 7.9%, and Land and Jardine, both with more than 4%. A little.”
"Has Wharf raised funds recently?" Yang Wendong asked again: "I remember that Wharf's profits in the past two years have been very poor, right?"
Traditional British-owned companies operate very conservatively, mainly collecting rents to make money. Even if they see that real estate is very profitable, they do not dare to borrow excessively. Instead, they use the profits from rent collection to develop their own land
This kind of efficiency is simply unbelievable. In addition, I am not very good at real estate operations. Although I didn’t lose money in the end, I really don’t have the ability to make a lot of money;
Wharf is one of them. In order to develop the large amount of real estate in its hands, it has raised shares and raised funds many times in its history. This also paved the way for Li Jiacheng's sneak attack and the fight with Pao Yugang.
Fang Xianming replied: "Not yet. Wharf's terminals and warehouses are still very profitable, that is, the profit margin is low, but the scale is large and the base is large, the profit is still good."
"Okay, then wait, you continue to make low-key acquisitions." Yang Wendong nodded and said.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
If Wharf expands its shares and raises funds, it will give itself the opportunity to acquire a large number of stocks, and it can even launch an acquisition war in advance as long as the goal is achieved;
But now we don’t know what history will become due to his influence, so we can only wait and see one step at a time.
"Understood." Fang Xianming added: "Yang Sheng, what about Milk International? We acquired 10%. If we want to continue to make large-scale purchases, we have to try to contact their shareholders;
This process is difficult to control, and it is easy to alarm Sir Zhou. ”
"Sir Zhou has a very high status and is Chinese. We really can't forcefully acquire his company." Yang Wendong thought for a while and said, "I remember that Maxim's Food has also launched a refrigerated ice making business, right?"
Maxim's Group is a food service company that Yang Wendong personally decided to participate in in the early years. Its main business is bakeries, coffee shops, high-end restaurants, etc. However, the Hong Kong market is so big that it can easily reach the upper limit. At this time, if you want to develop further, you have to go Either overseas can enter the same type of business in Hong Kong, and obviously most companies will choose the latter.
The same goes for Maxim's Food, which has chosen to enter various other commodity businesses, which naturally includes beverage ice making. This is an eternal business in Hong Kong because of the high temperatures and long hours in summer.
"Yes, apart from not delivering milk, Maxim's other businesses are in great conflict with Dairy Milk International." Fang Xianming suddenly understood: "Yang Sheng, you want Maxim's to compete with Dairy Milk on a large scale, thereby lowering the Milk International Stock? ”
"Yes, this is feasible in theory." Yang Wendong nodded and said.
It is inconvenient for him to forcibly acquire Chinese companies while the British capital has not been dealt with. This will instead alienate the Chinese capital in Hong Kong and keep the British capital away from Germany. Anyway, it is not a company that is in a hurry and must be acquired in a hurry;
But the absence of hostile takeovers does not mean that there will be no competition. In the field of competition, everything is fair. It is impossible for other Chinese to stop doing a certain business just because one Chinese investor does it. How is this possible?
However, there is no need for the Changxing Group to do it in person. It can just arrange for its own investment company to do it. The two Wu brothers, who are themselves Meixin, are also professionals in this field.
Fang Xianming immediately said: "Then I will contact the Wu brothers right away."
