Chapter 10 Planning
After leaving Wang Hai's office, Su Cheng went directly to the top floor of Tianyuan Building and came to Zhang Qizheng's office.
The news that Tianyuan Investment Management Company intends to control the Wharf Group has been released for two days. In these two days, all the business media have gone crazy. They are frantically looking for clues to see if they can get big news. .
However, Zhang Qizheng's confidentiality work is very good, and the security measures of Tianyuan Building are very strict. Under normal circumstances, outsiders cannot enter the building without permission.
This also resulted in the major media being unable to come up with any useful news.
"Boss, you're here." Seeing Su Cheng, Zhang Qizheng stood up hurriedly.
"How's the situation at Wharf?" Su Cheng asked after finding a chair and sitting down.
"Yihe Chairman Ni Bijian has been contacting me in the past two days, hoping that I can meet with him as soon as possible. I promised him to meet tonight." Zhang Qizheng replied.
"Well, it would be a good idea to meet in person. It would be helpful for Huifeng Bank to contact us as soon as possible and win over Hutchison Whampoa as soon as possible, which would also be beneficial to my next development plan." Su Cheng said with a smile.
Jardine Matheson is destined to be unable to continue to control Wharf. As for the 10% equity they currently control, Sioux City estimates that even Li Ka-shing has more than them. In addition, there are not many equity shares circulating in the market today. , it is even more difficult for them to increase their holdings in Wharf.
Of course, there's nothing you can't do if you're willing to spend money, it just depends on whether it's worth it.
“Because of the news we released, some speculators frantically bought up the small number of Wharf shares on the market. As a result, Wharf’s stock price has more than tripled, and the price has exceeded HK$50 per share. The share price of Wharf is now at its highest level in history," Zhang Qizheng continued.
The price of HK$50 per share was indeed very high. According to the original history, because the news of Li Ka-shing's crazy acquisition of Wharf stocks was spread, Wharf's equity was in March 1978. It soared to HK$46 per share.
In this parallel world, because the emergence of Su City completely changed the original history, it did not rise too high in March, but today in May, the same news was released. And soaring like crazy.
Currently, Tianyuan Investment Management Company controls 23% of Wharf's stocks, almost 20 million shares of Wharf, and the average purchase price is only about 15 yuan.
The reason why it is so low is because Sioux City's layout was too early. As early as the stock market crash in 1973, it began to quietly absorb Wharf stocks from various channels in a "secret way".
Five years have passed, and almost all low-priced stocks in circulation have been acquired by Tianyuan Investment Management Company controlled by Su City.
In other words, Sioux City only spent about HK$300 million to buy 23% of Wharf stocks. However, if calculated according to the current market value, the Wharf stocks it controls alone are Worth 1 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Of course, 50 Hong Kong dollars per share is definitely artificially high. No one would spend so much money to buy a large number of stocks.
"How is the situation here at Hutchison Whampoa?" Su Cheng asked.
"Because the Wharf incident was so big, no one paid much attention to Hutchison Whampoa, and the stock price was very stable. We continued to secretly absorb their stocks." Zhang Qizheng said with a smile.
Before, Tianyuan Investment Management Company itself had little liquidity, but after Su City received the 200 million transferred from Ye Tianrui, Su City directly transferred the money to Tianyuan Investment Management Company through a European bank. on the account.
So, Tianyuan Company has money to continue to absorb Hutchison Whampoa shares.
“Okay, let’s hold as much Hutchison Whampoa stock as possible. Of course, the news must not be revealed. My goal is to control more than 50% of Hutchison Whampoa stock, so that no one can Stop us from holding Hutchison Whampoa," Su Cheng said seriously. In fact, Huifeng Bank currently controls 22.4% of Hutchison Whampoa's stocks. If the stocks controlled by Huifeng Bank can be bought, plus the 18% of stocks controlled by Tianyuan Investment Management Company, the two combined will already occupy more than 10% of the shares. 40% of the stock.
If Tianyuan Investment Management Company can be allowed to acquire 10% more stocks before buying the stocks owned by Huifeng Bank, then once the stocks in the hands of Huifeng Bank are bought, Hutchison Whampoa controlled by Tianyuan Investment Management Company will Stocks will directly exceed 50%.
The more, the merrier!
"Don't worry, boss, I will definitely complete the tasks assigned by you perfectly." Zhang Qizheng said confidently.
"Two hundred million Hong Kong dollars should be enough for you for the time being. If you don't have enough money, come to me." Seeing that his subordinates are so confident, Su Cheng is naturally very satisfied. What boss doesn't want to have the most capable employees? !
As for money, with the intelligent AI in his brain, he has plenty of ways to make it.
In addition, the Su Group, which has returned to his hands again, can also contribute some funds. Although it is unlikely to be a lot, it is still possible for temporary relief.
“By the way, boss, the charter king is also inquiring about our news. I received a call from him personally this morning. He also wanted to meet and chat with us, just because he agreed to He Yi at that time. I met with Chairman Nian Bijian, so I told him that I haven’t seen it for the past few days and need to find another time to arrange it." Zhang Qizheng suddenly thought of this and quickly told Su Cheng.
Su Cheng was not surprised at all when the Charter King targeted the Wharf. In the original world, it was he who took over the Wharf.
In this era, the Charter King is definitely the business leader in the Chinese community in Hong Kong. Even the Huo family cannot compare with him.
In 1985, the chartered king’s assets were worth 40 billion. Now in 1978, although not as much as at that time, he still has half of it.
This year, the maritime kingdom of the chartered ship king has reached its peak, firmly occupying the top spot among the seven major shipping kings in the world, and one of the top ten financial groups in Hong Kong.
Of course, at this time, he has silently begun to implement the second step of his "abandoning the boat and landing" strategy: "landing".
To put it simply, he is not optimistic about the future shipping industry, so he plans to sell some ships and find a target to acquire.
The Wharf owned by Jardine Matheson is exactly his goal.
"You call the charter king and I'll go meet him." Su Cheng said suddenly.
Compared to Shen Bi, Su Cheng was more willing to meet the charter king.
The Charter King is a businessman that Su City admires quite a lot. We are all Chinese and have been hanging out in Xiangjiang. It would be good to have a good relationship with him.
Besides, they want to control Hutchison Whampoa, and the chartering king is a good right-hand man.
With the support of the chartering king, Su City will be able to persuade Shen Bi, chairman of Huifeng Bank, to willingly sell Hutchison Whampoa shares to Tianyuan Investment Management when negotiating with Huifeng Bank in the future. company.
