Chapter 565 Hutchison Rights Issue Scheme

Weidong has been waiting in the office for the final result, and finally received a call from Ah Zhen:

"Awei, although we rejected Hutchison's rights issue plan, HSBC has now proposed a solution. It wants to inject 1.5 million cash into the company, but the company will hand over 33.7% of the shares to HSBC."

Wei Dong asked urgently: "Did Qi Dezun agree?"

Ah Zhen said: "I'm thinking about it, I really can't think of any other way for Hutchison to solve the problem in front of me."

Wei Dong said anxiously: "You go to contact Qi Dezun, I want to see him, we will meet and decide if there is anything else."

Wei Donggang and HSBC jointly vetoed Qi Dezun's shareholder meeting, and now they are going to part ways to compete. Things are really changing.

I didn't expect HSBC to move so quickly, and directly proposed HSBC's plan to get Qi Dezun to agree.

"Then move faster, I'll explain it to Qi Dezun first."

Wei Dong put down the phone and rushed to Hutchison Building, and arrived in the Central area soon. As the director of Heji, a celebrity in Xiangjiang, Wei Dong went all the way to the outside of Qi Dezun's office.

Ah Zhen was waiting here to meet Wei Dong and said, "You can go in directly, I'll wait for you to discuss."

Qi Dezun didn't give Ah Zhen a good face just now. If he didn't see that Ah Zhen is a girl, he couldn't help but yell at him. He said bluntly that if he stood on his side, he would have enough shares to agree to the rights issue plan.

Ah Zhen didn't want to go in to see Qi Dezun anymore. Sure enough, Wei Dong's calculation was not bad at all. He became a villain himself. straw bar.

The pretty female secretary stood up and waited a long time ago, opened the door for Wei Dong, but didn't go in.

Some folders fell on the wooden floor, and many documents were scattered, it seems that Qi Dezun lost it in anger, so it seems that Qi Dezun was quite angry just now.

Wei Dong never saw the documents scattered on the ground, and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"What's the matter? Isn't it a good thing you did? If you agree, then Shen Porridge's objection will be useless. It's useless for me to support that brat surnamed Shen on the board of HSBC."

Qi Dezun spoke unhappily, suppressed his anger and asked Weidong to sit down on the sofa, poured coffee before remembering and said: "I even forgot that you only drink tea."

"Forget it, once in a while is fine."

In fact, Weidong can drink coffee occasionally. It was just a kind of Chinese stubbornness before. He would never drink this coffee when he could drink tea.

Right now, business is still important, so I won't pay attention to the details.

Qi Dezun directly attacked: "Yi Sheng, you are too mean. You have money to buy Wharf Land, and my company is in trouble. You just let go and voted against it."

"This is not my company."

Seeing that Qi Dezun's face was livid, Wei Dong continued: "You see, this sum is 1.75 million in cash. The long-term debts I know are all 15 billion. What will we do then? How can we guarantee the interests of our shareholders?"

Qi Dezun also knows that the company's prospects are bleak, but Heji is his life's painstaking effort, he must fight for it, and he can't just let Heji go bankrupt and liquidate.

...

Although HSBC has given a way out, Hutchison will no longer be its own. HSBC will become the major shareholder of Hutchison.

"Then why are you here? Do you want to see my joke?" Qi Dezun said angrily.

This is already suppressing his temper. The representative of HSBC was scolded by Qi Dezun before, and ran away in embarrassment.

Wei Dong smiled and asked: "Don't worry, maybe I can give you a plan. What are the conditions of HSBC?"

How could Weidong be in the mood to read Qi Dezun's jokes? Right now is the best time for him to buy Hutchison. His relationship with HSBC is not good. Now Qiuyu Bank is well developed by Weidong and has robbed many HSBC customers. It's embarrassing, but the relationship has dropped to freezing point.

Wei Dong believed that he had no chance to snatch Hutchison's shares from HSBC. If he didn't cut it now, most of them would still fall into Li Chaoren's hands.

Only then did Qi Dezun relax, and asked first, "Yi Sheng, are you still optimistic about He Ji?"

"I am optimistic about Heji." Seeing the smile on Qi Dezun's face, he quickly said: "But I am not optimistic about Heji under your leadership."

Qi Dezun's face turned frosty again in an instant, which is too irritating. He has worked hard for decades to develop a small foreign firm into one of the four major foreign firms in Xiangjiang.

Unfortunately, under the influence of the stock market crash, Hutchison, which has a market value of more than 70 billion, is now on the verge of bankruptcy, and its stock price has dropped from 44 Hong Kong dollars to more than one yuan now.

Thinking about it this way, Qi Dezun feels that he is indeed a failure. Hutchison's crazy expansion and investment have caused it to be on the verge of bankruptcy.

"I really have to bear unshirkable responsibility for Hutchison's current situation. If I resign, can you save Hutchison?"

Wei Dong didn't answer Qi Dezun's question, but only asked: "What are the conditions of HSBC?"

"It's nothing, just that I want to leave Hutchison, HSBC will take out 1.5 million cash in exchange for 33.7% of the equity, and of course there are some other conditions."

The main thing is that Qi Dezun will leave Hutchison and hand over control, and HSBC will use cash to invest in shares and carry out reforms on Hutchison, in order to save Hutchison, an old foreign firm.

This is similar to what Weidong knew just now. It is mainly about some detailed terms and conditions. These are all trivial details. Cooperate with HSBC.

Wei Dong first said angrily: "This HSBC is still too bullying. It's too outrageous to want to exchange 1.5 million for 33.7% of the equity."

"Yeah, it's too bullying. I didn't expect that decades of friendship would take the lead in rejecting my rights issue plan." Niu Bijian said bitterly.

Wei Dong was very happy, now Hutchison is indeed a bottomless pit, belonging to the darkness before the dawn, as long as it lasts for another half a year, after the global economy improves, it can be slowed down, but Qi Dezun is so small, God did not give this half a year Time, the current 1.75 million debt is the last straw that crushes Heji.

Wei Dong also accompanied Qi Dezun to scold HSBC, and then said: "We are old friends, or if I pay 1.75 million in cash for shares, it will only account for 33.7% of the shares. I can still let you continue to do business with us." Remember the big class."

...

"Really? Are you so kind?" Niu Bijian said in disbelief.

Wei Dong pretended to be very sad: "What you said, we are old friends, but you have no real power as a big class, and He Ji will set up a position of executive general manager, and you will lose all decision-making power."

Wei Dong just wants to keep Qi Dezun as the titular head class, so as not to make the Xiangjiang authorities feel uncomfortable when the old foreign firm changes owners. Wei Dong just needs to be able to control Hutchison Company. Qi Dezun can't stop Wei Dong from reorganizing Hutchison .

Qi Dezun also understood what Weidong meant now, he was just a marionette in the position of the big class, it sounds nice to say it, the actual rights are handed over to the executive general manager, and he became the company's mascot.

However, this condition is more generous than that of HSBC. The 500 million more money invested in the shares has saved face for myself. Make sure that your family can still be a rich man with peace of mind.

Weidong puts out cash to buy shares, and other shareholders will dilute a part of the shares in proportion. However, the company can also overcome the current difficulty.

Perhaps only HSBC would disagree with the whole matter. Qi Dezun now feels that as long as he can make HSBC unhappy, he can be happy.

Weidong added: "We made an appointment last time, but I have the priority to enter the equity. Even if the conditions are the same, I will get this qualification than HSBC, not to mention that I have 500 million more cash. .”

In fact, Qi Dezun had already been moved by Weidong, and after pondering for a while, he made up his mind. The only thing he could do was to go bankrupt and liquidate Hutchison Company. He was old and didn't have the energy to make any further troubles. He said cheerfully:
"Okay, just follow your plan. Don't worry, I won't hold you back. I will hold a shareholders' meeting tomorrow to discuss your shareholding. After the handover, I will return to London to retire."

This means that it will not cause trouble to Weidong. In fact, Hutchison was established by himself. He called out to himself.

"That's a happy cooperation. I will definitely bring Hutchison to the normal path."

"Hutchison is my life's painstaking effort, you must treat it kindly."

"Don't worry, I want to make this the flagship of my company."

After the two were polite, they agreed to hold a board meeting at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and Wei Dong left.

Seeing Qi Dezun smiling and sending Weidong and herself to the elevator, Ah Zhen directly asked after entering the elevator:

"Have you negotiated?"

"Well, 1.75 million cash is exchanged for 33.7% of the equity, and a board meeting will be held tomorrow." Wei Dong said with a smile.

Ah Zhen was relieved, afraid that Qi Dezun would ignore Weidong's proposal and wanted to hand over the Hutchison Bank to HSBC Bank. No matter how much money was spent, it would be useless. Fortunately, Weidong and Qi Dezun had a good personal relationship, so they finally chose to let Weidong become a shareholder Hutchison.

"Great, this Hutchison is also ours."

"Yes, Heji will be ours from now on."

Wei Dong hugged Ah Zhen happily and kissed him, but was pushed away by Ah Zhen: "This is inside the elevator."

...

Wei Dong chuckled, and went down to the bottom floor at this time, Ah Zhen gave Wei Dong a white look, and got out of the elevator first.

Returning to his own company, Wei Dong couldn't help being happy. After years of planning, he can finally reap the fruits of victory. Although he bought Landmark and Wharf before, it was only a subsidiary company of Yihe, not Yihe Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. Right now, Hutchison is one of the four major foreign firms. Before the stock market crashed last year, it was second only to Yihe. It will become its own after tomorrow, and it will be a long time to be silly when it comes back.

In the blink of an eye, the next day, Weidong came to Hutchison Building again, entered the lounge and just sat down, the representative of HSBC, Fraude Witt, came in and said to Weidong: "Mr. Yi, our HSBC will soon become Hutchison's The major shareholder, I wonder if you have any idea to transfer the shares?"

"Oh! Hutchison is going to become HSBC?" Wei Dong asked with a smile.

I made an agreement with Qi Dezun yesterday, let's not say anything about the agreement between the two, just said that the board of directors will be held to discuss and remember the way out. I didn't expect that people from HSBC would come to me to discuss the issue of shares before the meeting.

Flower was surprised and said: "Mr. Yi hasn't heard yet? HSBC invested 1.5 million in exchange for 33.7% of Hutchison's equity, plus the original shares, HSBC will become Hutchison's major shareholder in no time."

The complacent look on his face seemed to confirm that the matter had been settled. Besides, Flower was just a senior white-collar worker who held the shares of HSBC on his behalf, as if HSBC was his own.

Wei Dong never argues too much with this kind of person, he just said with a smile: "Then wait until the board meeting is over."

After Weidong finished speaking, he saw Yihe's representative walk in, got up and said, "Mr. Thomas, I have something to talk to you about."

Leaving HSBC's Flower behind, Wei Dong went up to greet Thomas, and Thomas was flattered. When did Yihe's people get so close to Yi Wei?

Only Flower from HSBC was left on the spot, fluttering in the wind, but facing Yi Wei from Qiuyu Group, Flower had nothing to do. I will definitely kick you all off the board."

It was ten o'clock soon, and Weidong bought Flynn's shares before, so now Weidong got two seats in Jillian on the board of directors, and Flynn didn't come here today, only 8 people came to the meeting .

Qi Dezun looked around for a week. After today, Heji is no longer in charge of his own business. He sighed and said: "As you all know, our Heji company has been relatively difficult recently. Right now, there is a debt of 1.75 million yuan due. If it cannot be returned on time, the bank will apply for bankruptcy and liquidation against us.”

This is already a well-known matter, and no one said a word. It was repeatedly emphasized at the general shareholders' meeting just held, and everyone present knows it clearly.

The representative of HSBC, Flower, couldn't help but said: "HSBC will provide 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars to help and remember to overcome this difficulty, but in exchange for 33.7% of the equity."

As he spoke, he glanced at Weidong proudly and said, "Hutchison's internal and external troubles have caused shareholders to be indifferent to the company, and they don't know the sacrifices we HSBC made to the company."

The others were very surprised. Why did the people from HSBC treat Weidong like this? It wasn't rumored before that there was something dirty between the two parties. Now it's a good show.

Wei Dong just chuckled, and then said: "HSBC's plan is good, but today's meeting of the board of directors is not for discussing HSBC's plan."

"What? Yi Wei, what do you mean? If we don't discuss our HSBC plan, are we going to go bankrupt and liquidate?" Flower called Weidong's name angrily.

Wei Dong shook his head and smiled, "Even Sir Bao never called me by my name, so what kind of onion are you?"
