The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 245 Inquiry
When Mitsui and Mitsubishi were calculating the Xinjian Department, on the morning of June 6, the principals of Wheelock Holdings, Tesco Group, Defeng Bank, and Lisa Investment Company held a joint press conference.

Defeng Bank and Lisa Investment Company respectively purchased 15% of the shares of E-buy Group held by Wheelock Holdings for 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, which means that the two companies valued E-buy Group as high as 75 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Affected by this benefit, the share price of Wheelock Holdings rose rapidly. As of the close of the morning, the increase was as high as 12%, and the total market value also reached a new high of 107 billion Hong Kong dollars.

However, the stock prices of Lane Crawford and Watsons fluctuated because of this. Even though stockholders have long been accustomed to the Xinjian Department of reducing their holdings and issuing additional shares at every turn, the stock prices still fell every time it happened.

The stock price of listed companies in the Xinjian Department is much higher than that of similar companies, which is due to the trust these institutions and shareholders have placed in Li Jianhui, a legend, in the past two years.

The company controlled by Li Jianhui began to reduce its holdings significantly, which naturally reduced their confidence in the company, and shocks and even declines were inevitable.

In particular, the e-buy group announced at noon that day that Wei Li would no longer serve as the chairman and president of the e-buy group. As soon as the market opened in the afternoon, the stock prices of Lane Crawford and Watsons plummeted.

Wei Li is more famous than many family helmsmen in Xiangjiang. He used to be one of the top four executives of foreign firms. In less than a year as the top class of Hutchison Whampoa, he turned Hutchison Whampoa into profit and brought Hutchison Whampoa back from the brink of bankruptcy. .

After joining the Xinjian Department, through the reorganization of Lane Crawford and Watsons, and the establishment of IKEA convenience store and e-buy electrical appliance chain, in just over a year, the largest retail department store group in Hong Kong has been established.

It can be said that without Wei Li, there would be no Tesco Group today.

The sudden resignation of Wei Li made many people feel confused. They didn't understand why the senior officials of the Xinjian Department made such a decision.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wheelock Holdings issued an announcement that the group will reduce its holdings of Wheelock Land shares from the current 38.7% to 25% in three days.

The chain reaction of this announcement is even greater than before. Before that, the real estate stocks of the Xinjian Department had collectively plummeted, and it was hard to recover these days. Unexpectedly, the Xinjian Department has significantly reduced its holdings in the largest listed company.

Affected by this, the shares of a large number of real estate companies such as Wheelock Land, Hutchison Land, and Chinese Land have dived again. If the curse is useful, I am afraid that Li Jianhui and the senior executives of the Xinjian Department will have gone to see the king of hell.

It’s just that Tian Qijiro and Hamasaki Hiroshi who heard the news felt bad. Currently, the Xinjian Department is developing normally, and they haven’t heard of any new industries. Raising such a huge sum of money at this time, I’m afraid it’s not what they see. Small.

Especially with regard to Wei Li, who have been in Xiangjiang for many years, they are aware of his superiority. Li Jianhui transferred him from the e-buy group at this time, and there must be extremely important things for him to be responsible for.

Moreover, the two forces that come in from Tesco also know that Defeng Bank is a joint venture between Lanfeng Holdings and the Cavendish family, and Lisa Investment Company is a joint venture between Lanfeng Holdings and the Grosvenor family.

Now that several big families in England have joined in, it will undoubtedly become more difficult for them to expel Tesco Group from Lane Crawford.

In order to learn more about the situation, Tian Qijiro made a special call to Liu Dongyang, manager of Xiangjiang Office of Yuanquan Investment Company, who had been chatting well these days.

This person is not only a director of Lane Crawford's board of directors, but also a director of Xinjian Group's board of directors. He is quite familiar with the news of Xinjian Department.

"Liu Jun, I'm Tian Qi, I hope I didn't disturb your work."

"I don't know what's the matter with Mr. Tian Qi?"

Tian Qijiro did not go around with Liu Dongyang, and directly asked about the recent situation of the Xinjian Department, especially about Wei Li.

"You should know that E-buy Group is controlled by Wheelock Holdings Group. Regarding the issue of changing the person in charge of E-buy group, a board meeting was held yesterday afternoon. Wei Li resigned from all positions in E-buy group for personal reasons. They decided that the vice president of the group, President Lane Crawford, would take over Wei Li's post.

As for what Wheelock Holdings, which holds a lot of money, will do next, because I have no relationship with Wheelock Holdings, so I don’t know what plans Wheelock Holdings has. "

There was not much valuable news, and Tian Qijiro was a little disappointed, but he knew that maintaining a good relationship with Liu Dongyang would be very beneficial for him to understand the trend of Xinjian Department in the future, so he thanked Liu Dongyang very politely on the phone.

"No need to thank you. Our source company is very optimistic about Japanese real estate, finance, entertainment and media related industries. I also hope that you will not forget the previous agreement and help us gain a firm foothold in the Japanese market."

Quanyuan Investment Company and Mitsui can be said to have what they need. The Japanese market is so big, and they don't mind adding a real estate, financial, film and television entertainment company.

With the information channel of Quanyuan Company, they can know the trend of the Xinjian Department in advance, and they can also make arrangements in advance, and they can get the upper hand in the contest with the Xinjian Department.

Yuanquan Investment Company is directly managed by Zhou Pengfei. Whether it is the general manager of Yuanquan Investment Company, Omar Breton, or Liu Dongyang, they don't know their relationship with the Xin Jian Department.

They just accepted Zhou Pengfei's order, and took advantage of this opportunity to obtain Mitsui Mitsubishi's support for them, so that they could speed up their industrial layout in Japan.

It is true that Liu Dongyang did not lie to Tian Qijiro, and he only knew this. He did not know what industry Wei Li would be in charge of, and the board meeting of Xinjian Group had never discussed these things.

Li Jianhui will also properly disclose some information to Liu Dongyang to make it more valuable, and Mitsui Mitsubishi will spend even more money in wooing him.

In order for Quanyuan Investment Company to use the opportunity of Mitsui Mitsubishi to suppress the Xinjian Department, it can enter banking, securities, real estate, film companies, theaters, music, games, comics, retail and other industries in Japan, and establish a comprehensive group .

He plans to hold a board meeting tomorrow to discuss the follow-up development of Defeng Holding Group, so that Liu Dongyang can get more valuable news.

On the phone, Li Jianhui specifically told Zhou Pengfei to make specific plans there.

The general principle is not to transfer the shares held by Xinjian Group, and to stand with the chairman of the board of directors at the board meeting.

Some things about the meeting of the board of directors can be disclosed to Mitsui Mitsubishi in exchange for the support of the two companies for the development of Fountain Investment Company in the Japanese market.

At the same time, Zhou Pengfei was asked to tell Omar Brayton to keep the relationship between Fountain Investment Company and Lanfeng Investment as secret as possible.

Li Jianhui plans to ask Zhou Pengfei to transfer Brayton to Australia in two years. Quanyuan Investment Company will be presided over by one of the senior management of the company. At that time, it will not be Zhou Pengfei who will come here directly, but the general manager of Novi Fund. .

As long as the Cayman Islands and even the British government don't cheat him, as long as Zhou Pengfei, Li Zaiwei and other high-level officials don't disclose, the game can continue.

One advantage of this place is that the company's shareholder registration book does not need to be consulted by the public, nor does it need to be submitted to the registry office, or even kept at the registered address, which greatly enhances the concealment.

As for whether it can be kept secret, it is difficult for Li Jianhui to guarantee. He only hopes that when his current strength is still relatively weak, he can not be discovered by these consortiums, which will make it easier for him.

It really doesn't matter if it is discovered, he doesn't believe that with such a strong foundation and past life memory, he still can't gain a foothold.
