Chapter 202 202 [35% Equity Trigger]
"I understand a little bit." Weili nodded.
After all, Luo Xurui has had in-depth cooperation with Wei Li and knows how to communicate with Wei Li, while Luo Qihong still needs to explore and need some time to figure out Wei Li's communication method.
The three of them chatted for a while. Luo Qihong knew that this was not the place for a detailed discussion, so he said, "I have some cooperation projects. I wonder if you two are interested?"
Luo Xurui As expected, he did not answer immediately, but looked at Wei Li, as if asking for Wei Li's opinion.
Wei Li had heard about Luo Qihong's many deeds, and subconsciously thought that the project proposed by Luo Qihong would not be a small project. However, Luo Qihong also owned a securities company and had strong financial resources, so there was no need to go to them.
"I'm interested, but I also want to know why Luo Sheng asked us to cooperate?"
"It's a banquet hosted by the Hong Kong government, so it's not appropriate to talk about this." Luo Qihong said, "Why don't we Find a time to have a chat? "
Luo Xurui nodded and agreed, "Okay, let Luo Sheng decide the time. Just call me when the time comes."
Wei Li met Luo Xurui. They all agreed, so it didn't matter to him. He could refuse anyway.
Luo Qihong did not stay with the two of them for long, and in a flash he walked to the circle where Zheng Yutong and his son were, ready to make more friends with them.
"This Luo Sheng is a bit interesting. Although I don't know what the project is, my intuition tells me that the project will not be small." Wei Li said looking at Luo Qihong's back.
"I guess it's an acquisition case, otherwise Luo Qihong wouldn't come to us." Luo Xurui was vaguely uneasy, feeling that Luo Qihong was eyeing his things.
"Maybe, as long as you can make money. This Luo Sheng is not a small person. Even people like Zheng Yutong seem to be familiar with him." Wei Li was still staring at Luo Qihong.
Soon, Governor MacLehose came out to speak, and his voice echoed in the banquet hall.
MacLehose was about to be laid off, and the new Governor of Hong Kong, Youde, was about to take office, so many people clapped perfunctorily.
MacLehose is very dedicated. Even if he is about to step down as the Governor of Hong Kong, he will continue to contribute his strength to the negotiations. So after finishing his speech, he began to talk to some influential Chinese people, even in words. There is an intention to force the Chinese to take a stand.
At the reminder of his secretary, MacLehose began to focus on Luo Qihong.
There is no way, Luo Qihong is the "advantage" among the people present who has greater influence, is young and has little experience.
Seeing that he could not defeat those old fried dough tycoons, MacLehose turned to Luo Qihong.
"Mr. Luo, you are a distinguished guest of our Governor's Mansion!" MacLehose shook hands with Luo Qihong enthusiastically and smiled.
Now that he is here, Luo Qihong naturally thought of how to deal with MacLehose or other officials' attempts to win over him. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Governor, for hosting the banquet. I am honored to receive your invitation."
"Mr. Luo, you are being humble. There are only a handful of you who have achieved such business success at such a young age." MacLehose was complimenting Luo Qihong on a daily basis.
"You're grateful." Luo Qihong replied lightly.
“Many Chinese in Hong Kong have achieved important positions in the business world. This is the honor of all Chinese, the honor of Hong Kong, and the glory of the British Empire. We should maintain this honor together, right? Mr. Luo !" MacLehose pressed forward step by step.
"This honor is the result of everyone's hard work, and the Governor's contribution is the greatest." Luo Qihong did not dare to answer MacLehose's question, which was a trap.
The answer is yes, Luo Qihong has taken sides. The answer is no, he will definitely be on the Hong Kong government's blacklist, so this question cannot be answered.
"Mr. Luo, thank you. I just performed my duties." MacLehose said modestly, but his eyes were full of pride.
"The policies you introduced have played a great role in the development of business." Luo Qihong continued to praise MacLehose, trying to make him forget the topic just now, and at the same time blew away MacLehose's "continue to be embarrassed."
In fact, MacLehose's contribution to Hong Kong is not small, such as improving public administration, establishing the Independent Commission Against Corruption, cleaning up corruption in the police force, and promulgating many policies that are beneficial to the development of the Chinese.
However, Youde is about to replace MacLehose, and the policy will definitely change. As for what the change will look like, Luo Qihong can no longer remember the records of his previous life.
After dealing with MacLehose, Luo Qihong's back was soaked. Fortunately, MacLehose was kind enough and did not continue to force Luo Qihong to take sides, otherwise it would be difficult to get along.
“Ah Hong, I didn’t expect you to be so eloquent.” Zheng Yutong laughed at the side.
What this man likes most is to support young people and build a thick wall of relationship network for the Zheng family, so that the family can last longer.
When Luo Qihong saw MacLehose and his party walking away, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "If you are stupid, you may fall into the trap of the British, and you may be in doom in the future."
Zheng Yutong stopped smiling and became serious, "Yes, it seems that the British will not be able to show off their power in Hong Kong for too long. In recent years, these people have been treating us better and better. It should be because the mainland is putting a lot of pressure on them. "
"Huh! They are just a group of bandits who are shouting about civilization, but they are burning, killing and looting all over the world." Luo Qihong's face was solemn, but his eyes were looking around, and his voice was getting lower and lower, worried about outsiders. heard.
“Don’t say these words here, no matter what, this is the territory of the British.” Zheng Yutong reminded.
Luo Qihong nodded and said no more.
Half an hour later, the charity auction began.
"What did Uncle Tong donate to charity?" Luo Qihong asked with a faint smile. Zheng Yutong smiled and said, "Ah Chun is doing these things, I have no involvement."
So, Zheng Jiachun on the side replied, "I donated some new gold samples from the jewelry company, no. "What's it worth?"
Luo Qihong understood what Zheng Jiachun meant. The Zhengs and his son did not want to send anything too expensive to the auction, and they were even a little reluctant to deal with the British.
"Well, my background is not good, so I plan to auction two cheaper things." Luo Qihong also expressed his unwillingness to please the British.
"What kind of background? You might as well say that I am richer than you." Zheng Yutong joked with a smile.
"Let us welcome the first Persian carpet donated by HSBC Bank, with a starting price of 200,000 yuan" came the voice of the auctioneer.
"Haha!! You are indeed richer than me. Chow Tai Fook Jewelry is better than Towngas Company. New World Development is one of the top ten real estate companies in Heung Kong. Siu On Real Estate cannot compare with it at all. Luo Qihong said with a laugh, slowly raising the sign in his hand to bid on the lot.
"Mr. No. 67 bids 230,000 yuan! Is there anything higher than this price?"
"It's just temporary. The quality of Towngas Company is far higher than that of jewelry companies. Zheng Yutong shook his head, his face changed slightly, and he brought up another topic, "Actually, I have heard about what Aji did on the Star Ferry Company project, and it was indeed not authentic."
"Uncle Tong, it's not that I don't want to give you face. There is really no way to make peace this time." Luo Qihong said expressionlessly.
Every Buddha has fire and a temper.
Li Zhaoji did not take Luo Qihong seriously, thinking that losing 30 million was a big loss. What about the face Luo Qihong lost? What about the $300 million lost from Towngas Company?
"Oh! I know!" Zheng Yutong stopped talking.
In the end, Luo Qihong bought 1 piece of porcelain and 1 piece of jade from the charity auction, which cost 520,000 yuan.
In early March
The Financial Services Bureau of the Hong Kong Government and the Securities Regulatory Office jointly issued a new company acquisition agreement, which changed the original 50% equity triggering comprehensive acquisition condition to a 35% equity triggering comprehensive acquisition clause.
Of course, previous shareholders holding more than 35% of the equity are not included in the calculation. From March 15, all companies listed in Hong Kong must abide by this rule, and the Securities Regulatory Office is ordered to monitor this rule. implement.
However, this agreement is not included in the legal scope. It is still a recommended clause. However, if you do not comply with it, it will be particularly uncomfortable. For example, if a fund-raising and rights issue is required, the Securities Regulatory Commission will not let it go, making the listed company unable to Normal fundraising.
If it is forceful fundraising, it is illegal fundraising and can be dealt with in court.
Therefore, it may not seem to be legal, but it has legal seriousness.
In fact, this amount of money was made by the British. The reason is that in recent years, Chinese capital has purchased high-quality British companies on a large scale, causing the British to suffer heavy losses and their power has begun to weaken compared to the Chinese.
Therefore, use this trick to protect the interests of the British.
Looking at this report, Luo Qihong could not help but sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Humph! He is not as good as others. He doesn't look for the reasons from himself, and even changes the rules to restrict his opponents. Don't you know that the rules can only restrict the dead, not the dead? Alive? "
Luo Qihong received the news very early that the bottom line clause for triggering a comprehensive acquisition of 35% of the shares was submitted for discussion. With the unanimous approval of the British, how could it be stopped by the Chinese.
Zhaoan Real Estate Company Office
Li Yude and his daughter Li Bingjun visited Luo Qihong, with obviously impure intentions.
Beep! !
The tea poured down from the spout, making a pleasant sound.
"Li Sheng, Miss Li, you have so much free time today to come visit me." Luo Qihong said jokingly.
Li Yude smiled slightly awkwardly and said, "I came here today to discuss something with Luo Sheng."
"Li Sheng, please tell me!" Luo Qihong put away his joking words and became serious.
Li Yude hesitated, so Li Bingjun helped his father and said, "Luo Sheng still remembers what he said about forming a new company to control Hongpu Real Estate Company?"
Luo Qihong was stunned, this Didn’t we just stop mentioning it? All the shares of Hongpu Real Estate Company in your hands have been acquired by you. How to form a new company?
"Remember! But I don't understand what Miss Li means." Luo Qihong glanced at Li Bingjun and said, "I don't have any shares of Hongpu Real Estate Company in my hands. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to form a company."
The establishment of a new company to control Hongpu Real Estate Company could raise the stock price, which would be of great benefit to Luo Qihong when he sold the stocks. Now that he has no shares in his hands, setting up the company is obviously a thankless task.
Li Bingjun had already made plans, saying, "We can return Luo Sheng's shares according to the remaining balance. The new company will hold 34.9% of the equity of Hongpu Real Estate Company and become the largest shareholder, and Luo Sheng's shares can be used to take advantage of the stock price." Sell high and make a profit."
"What do I need to do?" Luo Qihong felt that there was some profit, so he wanted to ask clearly.
Li Bingjun replied, "We need to borrow Luo Sheng's reputation and the strength of Zhao'an Real Estate Company to raise the stock price of Hongpu Real Estate Company."
"I need to see the specific plan before proceeding. Miss Li can't explain it in a few words," Luo Qihong said with a heavy face. He couldn't even get 60% of the 21% equity of Hongpu Real Estate Company, that is, 12.6%.
Li Bingjun saw that Luo Qihong was not easy to fool, so he could only show Luo Qihong the plan document prepared in advance, "This is the preliminary plan. If there are any inappropriate terms, we can modify it."
Luo Qihong nodded, Open the file and browse.
