Start from 1980

Chapter 652 The real goal

"Pu Weishi is not a fool, but he just didn't understand our intention for the time being." Su Chen said, "When he understands our intention, he probably won't be able to react."

Hang Seng Bank Su Chen doesn't want it. Although Hang Seng Bank has indeed obtained a license to enter the mainland for business, don't forget that he also holds a financial license.

Just to put a smoke bomb, and he himself let the investment banks in New York bypass the eyes of Hong Kong people, and are frantically buying these banks that are facing bankruptcy.

……

Some people in the market are aggressively acquiring these banking industries, making many Hong Kong people think that the banking crisis is about to pass.

I also thought it would be possible to transition smoothly to 97.

Many Hong Kong rich men are desperately accumulating wealth and fame.

Their voracious collection and display of medals, honorary titles, doctorate titles, etc. would put Western billionaires to shame.

For example, old Boss He insisted that his subordinates address him as "Dr. He" at all times.

Boss Huo must also be called "Dr. Huo".

Not for a tycoon working in the gaming industry.

At the same time, they often convert to certain religions, such as Guo Bingjiang and Guo Binglian of Sun Hung Kai Properties who believe in Christianity, Chen Qizong of Hong Kong Hang Lung Group, and countless others.

Similarly, most of these people are not engaged in the "most prosperous" export industry, because doing export business has to face international competition, which means that even if orders come in and the business is promising, the profit is "ordinary".

From the perspective of profit-making, doing export trade, especially concurrently operating factories, earns "hard money", and it is a small profit in comparison, so it is the best policy to avoid it.

The businesses they are more interested in are port terminals, telecommunication services, public utilities, gambling entertainment and property development. The common feature of these projects is that they have patents or only a few competitors.

So it is easier to form a monopoly alliance, and then form a "core cash flow". make it difficult to collapse.

Therefore, Hong Kong is the Hong Kong of the four major families and several foreign firms.

Su Chen is sharpening his sword on the Hong Kong Hotel, and he also threatened to acquire Hang Seng, which made many people wait and see, and at the same time, he also wanted to participate and get a share of the pie.

This news made the Kadoorie family, the major shareholders of the Hong Kong Hotel, sleepless, and at the same time cursed the Liang family for treachery.

But no one knows who his real target is.

The bigwigs who hold listed companies are covering their pockets tightly, for fear that this barbarian will come to give him warmth.

In less than half a month, the banks that declared bankruptcy have changed owners.

Su Chen's real goal is not Hong Kong Hotel or Hang Seng, but Hong Kong Land.

He is not the only one who cares about this company. Li Cucumber has always been eyeing this company, always wanting to get a few catties of meat from this elephant.

However, Hongkong Land, as the largest real estate group in Hong Kong, has many conflicts of interest with HSBC. A large amount of credit of Hongkong Land comes from HSBC.

"If we want to acquire a 51% stake in Hongkong Land, it is estimated that we will need to spend around 90 billion to 100 billion Hong Kong dollars." Tang Wanru brought a report, "Do we have that much money?"

"51% of the equity will cost 100 billion, so if we want to privatize it all, will it cost about 300 billion." Although Su Chen has an idea, it doesn't mean he has to work hard.

And he doesn't have that much money either.

After reading the report in his hand, Su Chen said with a smile: "Even if we don't have that much money, we still have to create the appearance that we want to deal with them. You also arrange qualified traders to secretly accumulate a large amount of money, and then release all the money. This rhythm of bad news caused Hongkong Land’s share price to fluctuate violently.”

"Okay." Tang Wanru never asked so many questions, as long as it was ordered by Su Chen, she would strictly follow it, and only when she needed to make up her mind would she show her wisdom.

Under the operation of more than a dozen traders, despite a large amount of stock absorption, Hongkong Land's stock price is still rising steadily and slowly, while several waves of sharp falls deliberately created in the middle confuse the market and the top management of Jardine Matheson Group.

Simon Keswick, who is in charge of Jardine, can vaguely feel that there is a black hand going against him.

But he has not been able to lock his enemy, he does not know whether it is Li Cucumber or the Chartered Ship King.

Because these two have teamed up to deal with Jardine.

And the name of the acquired company seemed to have been formed hastily, and now Simon Keswick really wanted to slam the coffee in his hand at the other party's face.

There are not only a few smart people in the world.

The big guys can also see from the continuous ups and downs that someone is absorbing Hongkong shares.

Many people also joined in. For example, Liu Luanxiong, who was repeatedly attacked by others, planned to fish in troubled waters and eat as much as he could.

Li Cucumber, who has always been thinking about Landmark, did not make a move. In fact, he actually did Jardine twice. When he acquired Hutchison, he fought against British capital as a Chinese capital and won the victory. That battle laid the foundation for Li Cucumber. position in Hong Kong.

Now a company popped up suddenly and was frantically absorbing shares in Hongkong Land, but he was not very optimistic because this company was all tradable shares absorbed in the secondary market.

Based on his understanding of Jardine, Jardine will never sit still.

Because bid acquisition is a costly job, unless several people join forces, it is difficult for individuals to come up with tens of billions of funds.

And he asked seriously, and none of the big families participated in this matter.

Li Cucumber's head suddenly had a flash of inspiration: Could it be those two lunatics from Shengshi again?

At the same time, various articles attacking Jardine appeared on the market.

Metropolis Morning Post wrote in the economic section:

"As we all know, in January 1986, Jardine Group announced a major restructuring. Jardine Holdings, Jardine Securities, and Hongkong Land invested to form Hong Kong Investors Co., Ltd., and Hongkong Land injected all the remaining 1% ​​of Jardine's equity into the new company……

It can be seen that the Jardine Group has begun to plan to fade out of Hong Kong. In addition to moving the registered place of the holding company to Bermuda, the group also secretly transferred assets overseas under the guise of "accelerating the internationalization of enterprises" in order to reduce the proportion of investment in Hong Kong. .

It shows that the Keswick family has been desperately selling assets and cashing out funds to transfer overseas, which seriously damages the interests of minority shareholders of listed companies..."

As soon as this newspaper came out, some financial experts also came out and said in various newspapers: There are indeed signs of asset transfer in Jardine.

Because in March of this year, Jardine Securities purchased 3% ​​of Jardine's shares from Hongkong Land, which further reduced Hongkong's shareholding in Jardine to 12.5%.

And before the major shareholder Hongkong Land Company reduced its holdings, Jardine Holdings released a series of good news, which made the stock price rise all the way.

After Hongkong Land Company completed the reduction, the share price of Jardine Holdings began to fall all the way.

This shows that there is illegal profit among the affiliated listed companies of the Jardine Matheson Group, and the Hong Kong government's Securities Commissioner is required to intervene in the investigation.

Simon Keswick's face became extremely ugly...
