Start from 1980

Chapter 782
Although the Shi Yahuai family has developed in Hong Kong for many years and has huge funds, the speed of this family is too slow.

Although the shares are already being attacked by others, one must think too carefully before making a certain decision. If new shares are issued immediately, Shengshi may not have a chance.

It's just that Shi Yadi adheres to the concept of his parents. He thinks about how many new shares he needs to issue and how much he needs to get in order to control the equity.

Before Shi Yadi could figure it out, the bad news came one after another.

Shengshi once again issued an announcement:

At present, through the large-value trading platform of the Stock Exchange, it has been transferred five times of Cathay Pacific shares, and the cumulative total of Cathay Pacific shares held exceeds 30%, ranking the second largest shareholder of Cathay Pacific.

Shi Yahuai panicked and hurriedly called CITIC, hoping that they could maintain their strategic alliance.

Unexpectedly, CITIC has issued an announcement first:

CITIC and Golden Age reached a strategic cooperation agreement. CITIC agreed to exchange 12.5% ​​of the shares of Cathay Pacific Airways for an appropriate price. As a strategic ally, it will develop multiple business sectors with Golden Age.

At present, Shengshi holds more than 45% of Cathay Pacific shares.

The news has not yet been digested, Shengshi issued another announcement:
Shengshi Holdings has successively acquired the shares of HAECO four times through the large-value trading platform of the Stock Exchange, and the total shares held by HAECO reached 33%, ranking the largest shareholder of HAECO.

Facing the heavy blow from Shengshi, the decision-makers of Swire Group fell into distress. Although they still hold 51.8% of Cathay Pacific shares, Shengshi's acquisition offer will definitely come in the next second.

Compared with the battle of Wharf in 1978, Shengshi's shots were more ruthless, and his actions were more extreme.

In just one day, they swept away the two listed companies of the Swire group with absolutely strong financial strength, and hardly met the stubborn resistance of the Swire Group.

This savage power and tyrannical pressure caused a huge shock in the business circles in Hong Kong and East Asia and South Asia, and re-examined this big water pipe.

Those listed companies trembled under the thunderous blow of Shengshi, and no one knew who his next target would be.

Originally, there were still people who wanted to fish in troubled waters, but they failed to resist Shengshi's attack and were strangled one after another.

Shi Yadi said to everyone present: "The next thing we may face is Shengshi's acquisition offer. I have already communicated with the government. Even if Shengshi wants to acquire it, it will not be so easy."

The reason why he has this certainty is because of a series of actions taken by the fellow British to support Cathay Pacific against Dragonair.

With the full support of fellow British folks, Cathay Pacific has become the airline representing Hong Kong. Naturally, his fellow British folks will not ignore this matter.

Indeed, the British are also paying close attention to this matter, and even have to issue announcements to Shengshi several times.

They can allow Shengshi and Swire to take charge of Cathay Pacific together, but they absolutely cannot tolerate Cathay Pacific being privatized again.

Sheng Shi did not issue any announcement until the market closed.

The Shi Yahuai family breathed a sigh of relief.

The thrilling day just passed.

After work, many people who have been in the stock market for many years still have lingering fears.

The coming situation of Shengshi is really terrible.

Liu Luanxiong felt that he had realized something again.

Even though he was off work, he still shut himself in the office, revisiting the series of measures in today's prosperity.

Today's news in Hong Kong is no longer about those romances, but speculation about whether Cathay Pacific will be privatized, and speculation about how much money Shengshi has.

This time, Sheng Shi launched a heavy-handed attack, and a series of attacks came to the city in just one day, forcing the Shi Huaiya family of the Swire Group, which has been in business for a hundred years, to be helpless.

But it is still very difficult to fully acquire Cathay Pacific, and the biggest obstacle is the British fellow of the Shi Yahuai family.

Moreover, Shengshi has always been developed as a company registered and headquartered in Hong Kong, and its main operating organization also assumes the function of a holding company.

This situation is not good for Shengshi's acquisition of Rolls-Royce, or for Shengshi's future development.

Therefore, before the acquisition of Rolls-Royce, Golden Age had already announced the restructuring of the group, upgrading a subsidiary company based in London to the group's holding company, namely Golden Age Holdings Limited.

In this way, Shengshi has achieved a low-key and subtly disguised change of name, that is, at least in name, Shengshi is already a company with its headquarters and registered place in London, England.

This structural change can create favorable conditions for the future development of Shengshi and reduce the resistance of the British side to some extent.

……

As night fell, Mr. Su was still flipping through documents in his office.

Before launching the charge against Taikoo, Shengshi had already invested a total of 3 million US dollars in the market, but the results were remarkable.

A total of 13.9% of Cathay Pacific, 16% of HAECO and 6.2% of Swire Pacific.

Through the share swap agreement with HSBC, Shengshi has acquired a cumulative 45% equity of Cathay Pacific, 33% equity of HAECO, and 19.2% equity of Swire Pacific.

Successfully became Cathay Pacific's second largest shareholder and also acquired a controlling stake in HAECO.

At this time, Cathay Pacific's fragmented shareholding in the market is less than 5%. As long as it has more than 30% of the shareholding, it can initiate a takeover offer, not to mention that Shengshi still holds 45% of the shares.

In the two battlefields of HAECO and Swire, the results are equally impressive.

Through over-the-counter large-scale transactions and market sweeps, Shengshi has surpassed Swire Group in its holdings of HAECO and consolidated its position as the largest shareholder.

At the same time, it also holds a 38.5% stake in Swire Pacific, surpassing Swire Group's 34% and rising to the largest shareholder.

Such a large-scale attack cost more than 23 billion Hong Kong dollars.

But he didn't attack after the stock market crash, so he spent a lot more money than expected.

The next step is to focus on Swire Pacific, and strive to increase the shareholding ratio to a high level of 42%, and stabilize the position of the largest shareholder.

If it goes well, a takeover offer can be launched for Swire and the board of directors of Swire and HAECO can be restructured.

In the structure of the entire Swire Group, what Su Chen values ​​most is Swire shares.

Because it is the core asset of Swire Pacific, its five business segments are second only to Jardine Land Corporation.

Because Swire Properties is the second largest real estate developer in Hong Kong after Hongkong Land, not only has a huge land reserve, but also holds an astonishing amount of undeveloped land.

The business of Swire Beverages is even more profitable, and it is a high-quality asset just like Milk Company.

There is also Swire Shipping, whose business can bring Shengshi Logistics to a higher level.

Secondly, if Swire Resources and Swire Agriculture can be merged into Milk Company, it will definitely be even more powerful for the development of Shengshi.

As a multinational service company with strong production capacity, every business in Swire Pacific is highly compatible with Shengshi.

As long as it is fully integrated, Shengshi Wanjia will form a giant multinational enterprise with a full industrial chain from agricultural production, product deep processing, transportation to sales, and its market competitiveness will be unparalleled.

From any point of view, this is a perfect merger in which one plus one is greater than two.

The seamless connection between the two companies can reduce costs to the greatest extent, simultaneously improve brand reputation, and greatly enhance market competitiveness.

While Mr. Su put the entire business segment of Shengshiwanjia into the plate of Swire, it can also dilute the equity of the British Swire Group and achieve the goal of completely controlling the entire Swire.

Throughout history, Hong Kong Chinese-funded acquisitions of British capital cases.

No matter whether it is Li Cucumber or the ship king, they can only pick the most dazzling pearl due to lack of strength, and the remaining many industries have no chance to get involved, leaving Jardine and Hutchison a breathing space.

But as soon as Su Chen made a move, he used the ultimate move to cut off his children and grandchildren. Not only did he eat the rice, but he also took off his shoes, slapped the cook in the face, and didn't leave any soup for Yingzi, which can be said to kill them all.

If it goes well, Swire will bid farewell to the century-old Hong Kong market in the next period of time and leave with money.

But the British may not give him this opportunity.

Su Chen put down his pen, stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, watched the lights of Wanjia in Hong Kong for a while, and then got off work.

His sharp attack not only stunned Shi Yahuai's family, but also dumbfounded those Huazi who wanted to secretly tear off the fat from Sheng Shi's body.

It's not that they didn't want to make a fortune in the stock market, but the huge amount of money is like a mud cow falling into the sea.

Li Cucumber once again raised funds through the four major companies, and the two fundraisings totaled more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars...
