Chapter 352 Find a middleman
"Boss, this is good news. Do you have any specific information about them?" Zhang Qizheng's eyes lit up after hearing Su Cheng's words.
After all, the Hong Kong Electric Group project is now a more important project in his hands. If the task is completed, he will also get a lot of bonuses.
"Wait a moment." After Su Cheng said this, he took out a piece of paper from his clutch bag.
The information on the paper is exactly the information of these four shareholders of Hong Kong Electric Group.
These British people who have a pessimistic view of Hong Kong are looking for ways to cash out and return to the UK with real money to retire.
This, of course, is an opportunity for the Chinese-funded consortium. Otherwise, Chinese-funded enterprises in Hong Kong would not have been able to overthrow the British-funded consortium so easily.
After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Of course, Su Cheng knows that now is not the time for the British-funded consortium to withdraw from Xiangjiang on a large scale.
In a few years, when the north negotiates with Britain, the flight of these British people will be even more intensified.
Their evacuation is naturally good news for the Chinese-funded consortium.
In this case, it will be easier for the Chinese-funded consortium to take over the assets from these foreigners at the minimum cost.
After Zhang Qizheng received the information, he read the information carefully.
These people are relatively easy to find. Foreigners like to live here on Hong Kong Island, especially those foreigners who can hold a large share of equity. Their family backgrounds are very good, so they basically live in The villa area from Sheung Wan to Wan Chai.
The stocks held by the four shareholders have reached 14.96%, which is nearly 15% of the stocks. If Su City can win it, plus the 27.85% originally held by Tianyuan Investment Company, then can reach 42.81%.
Holding this proportion of equity, Sioux City can already completely control the Hong Kong Electric Group.
In another world, if it were three or four years later, Hong Kong Electric Group would be targeted by Jardine He and Li Chaoren, and eventually there would be another battle for it.
In the end, the Hong Kong Electric Group was taken over by Hutchison Whampoa, which was controlled by Li Chaoren.
However, in this world, the situation has completely changed.
Land, now following Jardine Matheson and the Charter King to rob the Wharf, has left itself scarred and too busy to take care of itself, and has no time to compete for the Hong Kong Electric Group.
As for Li Chaoren, in this world, his path to rise has been completely cut off by Su City, and the owner of Hutchison Whampoa has also become Su City.
So, with Li Chaoren's current strength, even if he is interested in HK Electric Group, he does not have the strength to win over HK Electric Group.
After all, in another world, Li Chaoren was able to win Hutchison Whampoa not by his own strength, but by his connections. "If we can win over the equity of these four people, then we can win over all the pending orders on the stock market at lightning speed. In this way, we will be more stable in controlling the Hong Kong Electric Group." Su Cheng said with a smile.
Hong Kong Electric Group's current orders on the stock market, although the price is a bit high, but if they are all taken now, there are still many points, even if they do not buy the stocks of these four shareholders, The shares of Hong Kong Electric Group held by Tianyuan Investment Company can also easily exceed 33%.
Now, the reason why Tianyuan Investment Company does not win these stocks is mainly because the price of these pending orders is already relatively high compared with the current trading price. If they win all these stocks, it will definitely directly let people know that someone is now eyeing Hong Kong. Deng Group, this outcome will cause a series of chain reactions, which will be very detrimental to Tianyuan Investment Company's next actions.
As a cautious financial industry expert, Zhang Qizheng would naturally not allow such a thing to happen.
"Boss, your proposal is good. I suggest you call them directly to invite them to come over to discuss and solve this problem at once." Zhang Qizheng read the information, put it on his desk, and thought about it. Said directly.
"Oh? Why? Wouldn't it be better to attack them one by one?" Su Cheng asked in surprise.
“I think if we go to them one by one, if one of them fails to reach an agreement, they will immediately spread the news that we want to acquire their stocks, and then the stock market will immediately know about you, boss. We are targeting Hong Kong Electric Group. When the time comes, Hong Kong Electric Group's shares will definitely be speculated very high. On the contrary, if we invite the four of them over, negotiate on the spot and trade directly, the four of them will definitely be the same. After the transaction, we can sign a confidentiality agreement with them. After the transaction, they are not allowed to tell us about our purchase of their stocks privately, otherwise they will have to pay high compensation, so that we will have no worries." Zhang Qizheng explained.
The current market capitalization of Hong Kong Electric Group on the stock market is between 3.5 billion and 3.6 billion. The trading team of Tianyuan Investment Company has always been very gentle in absorbing the shares of Hong Kong Electric Group, so the price has not risen much.
In fact, the real asset valuation of HK Electric Group is more than HK$5 billion. The reason why HK Electric Group’s stock price is so low is mainly because the entire stock market has been in poor condition recently. It is not just HK Electric. The group is like this.
With the rapid development of Xiangjiang in recent years, the price of land in Xiangjiang has increased countless times.
British-funded enterprises have inherent advantages, especially those with a long history. They basically occupy a lot of land in Xiangjiang, and these land parcels are basically located in the core areas of Xiangjiang.
This is also the reason why the valuations of companies such as Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa Group, and Jardine Matheson are so high. After all, they already owned land in Xiangjiang decades ago, and these lands have changed with the times. As development continues, the value will naturally increase.
Hong Kong Electric Group, like companies such as Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa, has purchased a lot of land in Hong Kong a long time ago.
In the past, the city center of Xiangjiang was relatively small, and power plants were usually built in the suburbs.
However, with the expansion of Xiangjiang's urban area, the former suburbs have long since become the city center. This is why Hong Kong Electric Group is obviously a power supply company, but the land is so valuable.
"Uncle Zhang, what you said makes sense. They are all shareholders of Hong Kong Electric Group, and they are all British. They must be close friends in private. Come one by one, there is indeed no Necessary, even if you invite them one by one to discuss, they will definitely discuss it in private. It is better to just call the four of them over to negotiate at once. After the negotiation is completed, everything will not be a problem. Just do what you want. Do it!" Su Cheng nodded in agreement with Zhang Qizheng's idea.
“Okay, boss, since you also have this idea, I will invite them over later. However, I don’t know if they are busy with other things today. If the time happens to be late, it will disrupt our rhythm. Yes." Zhang Qizheng said.
"So, when inviting them over, it's best not to let them discover the purpose of inviting them." Su Cheng said with a smile.
"That's right, then I think we can't invite them in person, but need to find an intermediary." Zhang Qizheng thought for a while and replied.
