Start from 1980

Chapter 779 Pixiu
Because Su Chen's attitude made it clear that he was not short of money, he wanted the shares of those companies held by HSBC.

Right now, there are only two ways to deal with it, either take out some shares and replace the shares held by Haifeng, or take control of Haifeng together with Shengshi.

But HSBC doesn't like the latter, because they originally planned to turn Haifeng into a wholly-owned subsidiary.

If you still partner with others, what is it?

There is absolutely no third way to go.

As far as Shengshi is concerned, once the Cathay Pacific shares held by HSBC can be exchanged, and then join hands with CITIC, plus the shares absorbed in the stock market during this period, as long as the stock market crash is over, they can completely set the table with Swire.

Swire is not a chain ship strategy like Jardine's, because Jardine's mutual control involves a relationship of interest. When a takeover battle breaks out, the consortium that proposes the takeover can apply to the court for an injunction.

Prohibit Hongkong Land from exercising its voting rights in Jardine shares, which will easily break the chain structure defense line of Jardine Mutual Control.
Shengshi used this method to directly rub Yihe on the ground, but when facing Taikoo, this method will not work.

Therefore, it is best if HSBC is willing to exchange the shares of Cathay Pacific in exchange for the shares of Haifeng Bank.

The four major departments of the Hong Kong government are still conducting investigations in Shengshi.

However, because Su Chen handed over the finances to a special accounting company from the very beginning, nothing was found out, and even the operations in the stock market can only be regarded as 'green extortion' at best, without any illegal activities at all.

And the process of privatizing Landmark did not have any illegal operations. After all, Shengshi was acquired at a premium, and there were many small shareholders who sold their shares one after another.

Everything happens naturally.

The investigation, which lasted for more than a month, came to an end.

Pu Weishi understands that Shengshi is a hungry wolf now, and it is impossible for them to accept the plan of investing and buying casually.

With the conclusion of the investigations of several major departments, Shengshi returned to calm, and the shock caused by this investigation was not small.

However, after digging out one thing after another, many people discovered that the company is actually so big and its business covers so many countries.

Everyone seems to be getting more enthusiastic.

Su Chen didn't know whether to say it was a good thing or a bad thing.

……

Boss He and Boss Huo came hand in hand.

"I didn't expect you to acquire Haifeng Bank and Midland without making any noise. No wonder you didn't panic about the investigation by the Hong Kong government."

Boss Huo smiled and said, "Young people are awesome. I thought that Hong Kong's industry is all your business, but I didn't expect that it will develop in European and American countries. The waves of the Yangtze River push forward the waves of the past."

"Thank you Mr. Huo for your compliment. I'm just developing some business casually, and the semiconductor industry, for example, is a money-burning business." Su Chen said, "I don't know when I will be able to make a profit."

Boss Huo said: "I can see that you never do unsure business, so the semiconductor industry should be profitable, as long as you get through the period of burning money."

He turned his head and said to Boss He: "You have found a good son-in-law, but it's a pity that my family doesn't have a daughter, otherwise it might not be your turn."

"Speaking of which, I should thank the people in the Information Bureau, otherwise I might miss such a son-in-law." Boss He felt that his face was bright.

Although there are many second generations of big families in Hong Kong, none of them can match this kid.

Relying on the extortion of several million Hong Kong dollars, it has developed into such a huge enterprise. In addition to ability, vision is also very important.

"I don't know what the two of you are here today?" Su Chen asked.

Boss Huo pondered for a while: "Have you paid attention to Hong Kong Dragon Airlines?"

"Pay attention, what's the matter?"

"Ganglong is in some difficulties now. I came today to ask if you would like to take a share." Boss Huo said, "If you don't want to, it's fine, don't worry about me."

The current Dragonair is not a little difficult, but extremely difficult, but Boss Huo didn't make it clear.

From 1986, Dragonair applied to launch flights from Hong Kong to London, which was strongly opposed by Cathay Pacific.

Cathay Pacific said that British Airways, British Lion and Cathay Pacific have served three airlines on the Hong Kong-London route, and the passenger growth of this route has been close to zero in recent years.

Therefore, there is no need for a new airline to join, otherwise the market will be chaotic, ticket prices will drop, and the income of existing airlines will decrease. Moreover, it will not stimulate the market and increase the number of passengers.

As a result, the Hong Kong government rejected Dragonair's application on the grounds that Dragonair did not provide enough long-haul and new service facilities.

Cao Guangbiao, Chartered Ship King and others expressed their dissatisfaction with the Hong Kong government many times, but to no avail.

The aviation policy of the Hong Kong government has not changed because of this, and the plight of Dragonair has not improved.

Every January, each shareholder must inject capital into Dragonair to maintain the situation.

By this year, Dragonair's capital has increased to 4 million Hong Kong dollars, and it has lost at least 500 million Hong Kong dollars every month, absolutely burning money.

The speed of burning money is almost catching up with the semiconductor industry.

Of course, this burning of money is only because Cathay Pacific is riding on top of its head. Once Cathay Pacific is overthrown, Dragonair will definitely be able to make a profit.

"If I invest [-] million Hong Kong dollars in shares, how much equity can I get?" Su Chen said, "What's more, now they are all controlled by British charter kings and others, so it's not good for me to join alone."

"Your wife can." Boss Huo said, "Because she is British, it just depends on whether you want it or not."

No wonder Boss He didn't say anything, it turned out that Miss He wanted to join Dragonair, and Su Chen would pay for it.

Of course, when they got married, Boss He claimed that he gave a one billion dowry, and he was not short of money.

Su Chen thought for a while, "I'll go back and ask her what she means. If she agrees, let her join and study with the seniors."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

……

Originally, several tycoons had already sharpened their knives, and they also regarded the prosperous age as the meat on the chopping board, aiming at the place they wanted, waiting for the opportunity to strike.

But I didn't expect that Shengshi didn't make any move to go public.

Once Shengshi is not listed, they will have no way to bite this piece of meat, and the equity is concentrated in the hands of Tang Wanru and Su Chen.

Although the company also issued equity shares, they were only virtual shares and would be of no real use unless they all joined Shengshi to work.

Facing the prosperity, everyone felt like a dog biting a hedgehog, and they didn't know where to start.

No company has ever been so annoying to them as Saatchi & Saatchi.

It is completely a Pixiu, it can only enter and exit.

First a strong acquisition and then a lightning-fast take private.

Really makes people extremely speechless.

Originally, HSBC also promised to provide them with loans once Shengshi relisted its Jardine Department.

But this guy just didn't go public, which made everyone's plans come to nothing.

As for HSBC, in the face of the prosperity of the prosperous age, they expected to discuss the countermeasures for a month, but they have not yet come up with an idea.

The main reason is to use a "drag" tactic to drag the company under the name to the prosperous age.

Because most people want to exchange money for the shares of Haifeng Bank, because they think that Shengshi must be short of money.

But at this time, Yongan Group, the parent company of Yongan Bank, publicly stated that it had sold the remaining 49% of the shares held by the parent company to Shengshi. Since then, Yongan Bank has completely become Minsheng Bank.

This news instantly polarized the opinions of HSBC Bank. A group of people thought that Shengshi was not short of money, and it was impossible to exchange money for SITC shares.

While another group of people think that the prosperity of the world is short of money, and it is impossible to buy everywhere without being short of money.

As long as you wait for a while, Shengshi will definitely have no money, so there is no need to be too anxious to exchange shares of equivalent value now.

At this time, the Hong Kong banking industry has formed three giants, namely HSBC, Minsheng, and Bank of China.

The rest are small banks.

However, what Su Chen coveted was not Wing On Bank, but the huge and valuable property under the name of Wing On Company.

Now Wing On Company owns Wing On Center in Sheung Wan, Wing On Building in Central District, the current site of Wing On Department Store in Yau Ma Tei and the adjacent Pudu Hotel.

It also holds a 7-square-foot shopping mall in Tsim Sha Tsui East Wing On Plaza and a 7-square-foot shopping mall in Nanyang Center.

Among them, the building area of ​​Wing On Center in Sheung Wan alone reaches 60 square feet.

This is a piece of fat.

But now is not the right time to hostilely acquire Wing On.

Therefore, it is still necessary to quietly pump water in the stock market and wait until the right time to lift the stage.

The time has come to the end of August.

Su Chen didn't wait for HSBC's reply, but Xu Xiaoming called to tell him something.

Ask him if he can go to this year's Miss Asia preliminaries.

This matter was mentioned a long time ago, because Wireless said that the foundation of Phoenix TV was weak, so Xu Xiaoming and others asked Su Chen to participate. Considering this situation, Su Chen also invited many famous people to participate in the jury in his own name.

Because the boss is always too busy, so Xu Xiaoming had to ask first, lest the boss be busy all over the world.

"It just so happens that I have nothing to do right now, so I'll go and have a look together." Su Chen said, "I will be there on time."

"Good boss." Xu Xiaoming took a reassurance.

But just as Mr. Su was preparing to participate in the preliminaries on July 7st...
