Chapter 53 The big news that shocked Xiangjiang
It was already night when I came back from Chu Xuanyu.
As soon as he returned, Zhong Chuhong said to him: "Boss, Mr. Zhang called in the afternoon and said there was news from Huifeng Bank."
Su Cheng listened, He nodded and was about to call back, but suddenly he remembered that the time difference here was different from that in Xiangjiang. Although it was after eight o'clock in the evening here, it was already after three in the morning in Xiangjiang.
So, I planned to wait until the next day to call him back.
As early as the day Su Cheng came to London, he told Zhang Qizheng, Wang Hai, Brother Wu and others the phone number here. If anything happened, they could contact him in time.
"By the way, we can move to the Binhe Building tomorrow." Looking at the well-behaved Zhong Chuhong, Su Cheng said to her with a smile.
“Really, that’s great.” After hearing this, Zhong Chuhong couldn’t help but cheer.
Compared with the monotony of the villa resort here, the scenery in the city center is much more beautiful and lively.
"Go to bed early. I'm going to bed after washing up. You can go out with me tomorrow instead of dazing at home." Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Boss, I'll wait for you." Zhong Chuhong said shyly.
Although they have been good friends for a while, she always blushes easily and looks cute and seductive.
"Well, just wait for me." Su Cheng said with a wicked smile.
After that, I took a shower and brushed my teeth in the shortest time, then jumped on the big bed and went to discuss life with the beauty~
At nine o'clock the next morning, After Su Cheng woke up, he called Zhang Qizheng back.
"Boss, Mr. Shen Bi called me last night and said that the Hutchison Whampoa matter is basically fine. The board of directors agreed to Shen Bi's proposal to sell Hutchison ordinary shares to Tianyuan Investment Management Company. We can sign the contract at any time. I'm just waiting for your words." Zhang Qizheng reported excitedly.
It turned out that at four o'clock in the afternoon that day, under the chairmanship of Chairman Shen Bi, the board of directors of Huifeng Bank held a confidential meeting to discuss the sale of Hutchison Whampoa to Tianyuan Company. Directors present at the meeting included Shen Bi, Bao Shipping Wang, John Bao, Peter Wei, Madden, Ross, Xu Shixun, Tong Maosheng and others, as well as representatives of the two British-owned enterprises Jardine Matheson and Swire were not present.
In the conference room, Shen Bi stated the pros and cons of selling Hutchison Whampoa shares to Tianyuan Investment Management Company. Wharf Stock and Global Shipping Company were the key and played a very big role.
The meeting ended at 6 o'clock, and the board of directors unanimously agreed to sell Hutchison Whampoa to Tianyuan Investment Management Company.
"You immediately contact Shen Bi on behalf of Tianyuan Investment Company and sign a contract with Huifeng Bank as quickly as possible to avoid other accidents. Wharf's shares can be sold to Global Shipping Company at the same time." Suzhou City did not have much Say anything else and give the order directly.
If this matter is delayed for a long time, accidents will inevitably happen, so the sooner it is signed, the better.
"Okay boss, I will contact Huifeng Bank immediately." Zhang Qizheng replied immediately.
After Zhang Qizheng hung up the phone, he immediately contacted Huifeng Bank.
Since the board of directors agreed, there was no reason to delay, so we started preparing for the signing ceremony.
When Zhang Qizheng arrived at Huifeng Bank with the company's lawyers, they had already prepared the signing ceremony. Witnessed by several Huifeng directors, Zhang Qizheng and Shen Bi signed their names on the acquisition contract on behalf of Tianyuan Investment Management Company and Huifeng Bank respectively.
Afterwards, under the witness of Huifeng Bank, Zhang Qizheng once again signed an equity acquisition contract on behalf of Tianyuan Investment Management Company and the charter king of Global Shipping Group.
At this time, Hutchison Whampoa Chairman Wei Li, who was located in the Hutchison Whampoa headquarters building, was still in the dark.
It was not until the signing was completed that Shen Bi, chairman of Huifeng Bank, called Wei Li to inform him of the equity transfer.
Wei Li was naturally very annoyed by this decision, but he was helpless.
Hutchison Whampoa's dependence on Huifeng Bank is not a bad thing. After all, it has a very thick thigh to hold it.
Ke Tianyuan Investment Company, what is it?
Even a month ago, he had never heard of this company at all. If the news that Tianyuan Company was going to acquire Wharf had not made a big fuss, he would not have known about it.
At that time, he even secretly laughed at Yi He, not even knowing that his house had been robbed.
But what’s going on now? I’m in trouble for no reason?
It's like an ant saying that this elephant will belong to it from now on. Is this possible?
But now the facts are before him. Tianyuan, an ant, swallowed up Hutchison Whampoa in one go and became the largest shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa?
In short, Wei Li is very annoyed!
He is a very ambitious and talented person, otherwise Huifeng Bank would not have invited him to manage Hutchison Whampoa.
Sure enough, under his management, in only two or three years, Hutchison Whampoa, which was originally heavily in debt, has completely regained its vitality and turned a profit.
He is confident that as long as he is given a few more years, Hutchison Whampoa will have the opportunity to become the largest company in Hong Kong, and it is not impossible to surpass its master Huifeng Bank.
But now, news suddenly came to him saying that the previous owner no longer wanted it and had sold it to another owner, which was still a company controlled by Chinese.
In this regard, he does not know what will happen to Hutchison Whampoa in the future, and whether it will seriously disrupt his control of Hutchison Whampoa.
After Tianyuan Investment Company signed the contract with Huifeng Bank and Global Shipping Group, the business situation in Xiangjiang officially changed drastically.
First, Tianyuan Investment Company acquired 22.4% of Hutchison Whampoa shares held by Huifeng Bank at a price of HK$7.5 per share, for a total of HK$675 million. According to the agreement, Tianyuan Management Company must within two days Pay all funds of Huifeng Bank;
Second, Global Shipping Group acquired 23% of the Wharf stocks held by Tianyuan Investment Company at a price of HK$50 per share, totaling HK$1 billion. According to the agreement, Global Shipping Group must pay Tianyuan Investment Company all funds within two days;
With this purchase and sale, Tianyuan Investment Company was not only equivalent to exchanging Wharf shares for Hutchison Whampoa. The shares of the two companies were almost the same, but Tianyuan Investment Company earned more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars.
This also announced to the world that on this day, Hutchison Whampoa, a long-established British bank, fell into the hands of emerging Chinese businessmen.
The Wharf side is similar.
That evening, Huifeng Bank, Global Shipping Group, and Tianhe Investment Management Company simultaneously announced the contents of the transfer agreement between the parties to various media in Hong Kong.
After the news came out, first of all, the entire Hong Kong media was excited. It was big news, it was simply super big news!
What does this mean? It represents the rise of Chinese-funded enterprises!
As for the ordinary people, they will have to wait until the news is released through the major media.
