The richest man

Chapter 166 The Stock Market War
Hearing this, Zhang Jun didn't immediately answer Bao Yugang's question.

The Bao Yugang family also began to take up the shares of Wharf within the next two years. By 1978, the shares had increased to 20%, which had seriously threatened the dominance of Jardine Matheson.Jardine Land Company hastened to increase its shareholding in Wharf to 20%, which is close to that of Pao Yukang.

I am currently buying Wharf. If Bao Yugang gets involved, it will be a bit troublesome, but it will be too late. This struggle is only between him and Jardine Matheson.

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of losing money. Hong Kong real estate will recover sooner or later. I can afford to wait."

Bao Yugang: "You really have a big heart!"

Zhang Jun said "haha" and laughed.

After a while, Zhang Jun hung up the phone.

Sitting on an office chair, he meditated, "The actions of Chinese Landmark should attract the attention of some interested people, and follow suit. It is best for me to speed up the acquisition."

……

……

Since October, Hong Kong's real estate industry seems to usher in a new life.

Chinese real estate developers such as Chinese Land, Cheung Kong Properties, and New World Properties have begun to compete for land.

Reflected in the stock market, the stock prices of many real estate companies also rose accordingly, especially the stock prices of Wharf and Hongkong Land.

Kirin Securities took the opportunity to aggressively absorb the shares of Wharf and Hongkong Land.

In Hong Kong in the 70s, Chinese capital and financial resources were weak. Jardine Land Company only held 5% of Wharf’s stock and controlled the company. Even after increasing its shareholding, Jardine Matheson’s shareholding was less than 10% , and the current shares of Wharf held by Zhang Jun have reached 28.5%.

However, these shares are not completely sure of victory.

Most of Wharf are British shareholders, and the British consortium will not sit back and watch Zhang Jun acquire Wharf, and will definitely support Jardine.

At this moment, no matter how negligent Jardine Matheson is, they understand that someone is quietly absorbing the shares of Wharf and Hongkong Land, but they don't know that it is Zhang Jun, the big crocodile, who is opening his bloody mouth to them.

Keswick family.

"Our people found that some people in the stock market seem to be secretly absorbing the stocks of Wharf and Hong Kong Land..."

"Right now, Hong Kong real estate is showing signs of recovery, and Wharf and Hongkong Land are the leading companies in Hong Kong's real estate industry. It is normal that the growth rate is greater than other real estate companies!" A member of the Keswick family said arrogantly.

As soon as the words fell, some people couldn't help but nodded to express their agreement.

"The Three-Body Problem" wrote: Weakness and ignorance have never been an obstacle to our survival, but arrogance is.

The British consortium is arrogant and has always looked down on Chinese businessmen.

When the danger broke out, they would react, but it was too late.

This time, although the soaring stock prices of Wharf and Hongkong Land aroused the vigilance of the Keswick family, but because of their arrogance, they only chose to increase their holdings by a small amount.In fact, Jardine's current capital chain is tight, and it cannot provide a large amount of liquidity to absorb shares.

Kirin Securities is very clever and patient, unless Jardine Co., Ltd. carefully studies the stock price movements of Wharf and Hong Kong Land in the past year, it is possible to find a clue.

……

Recently, Zhang Jun was idle and doing research with a copy of "Shan Hai Jing", and registered many companies and trademarks named after "Shan Hai Jing", such as "Hongmeng", "Qiankun", "Kunlun", "Ling Xiao", "Kirin", "Kunpeng", "Qinglong", "White Tiger", "Xuanwu", "Suzaku", "Honghu", "Teng Snake", "Green Ox", "Lingzhi", "Dangkang" , "sea blue beast" and so on...

The 6502 chip was renamed: "Kunpeng" chip.

The legendary game multi-core processor game substrate was renamed: "Lingxiao" game substrate.

The family game console is named: "Kunlun" game console.

The handheld is named: "Qiankun" handheld, Qiankun in the palm.

At the same time, four major investment companies were established: "Qinglong Capital", "White Tiger Capital", "Xuanwu Capital" and "Suzaku Capital".

Legendary Game Company changed its name to Legendary Technology Company, MOS Technology Company was directly merged into Legendary Technology Company, and the hardware department of Universal Music Company (developing the Walkman Walkman) was merged into Legendary Technology Company.

Legendary Technology Corporation established the computer department and began to develop personal computers.The computer brand is named "Hongmeng" and the operating system is "Hongmeng System".

The corporate changes this time were not major, and did not cause much sensation.

However, it has established a group status with Legend Technology as its core.

The reason why the Four Great Beasts Investment Company was established is that Zhang Jun intends to start a venture capital model. There are many potential start-up companies around the world, and Zhang Jun has no time to take care of them. It is better to invest in these companies.

After all this work, it will be December in a blink of an eye.

At this moment, Qilin Securities is sharpening its sword and preparing to attack Jardine.

In the outside world, major media are doing their best to promote the film "King Kong", attracting everyone's attention.

Universal Pictures and Legendary Films worked together, and the promotional expenses alone were no less than 3000 million US dollars!
You know, the production cost of "King Kong" is only 3000 million US dollars, but Universal Pictures and Legendary Films are very confident in this movie.Spielberg is very good at shooting monster movies, with strong narrative power, and he is extremely good at creating emotional points in emotions. Coupled with the amazing special effects of the film, the movie must be popular!
Therefore, the more publicity, the higher the box office results.

Zhang Jun also watched Spielberg's version of "King Kong", and he really admired it. Among all the versions of "King Kong", this one is the best shot. King Kong's incomparably pure love for the heroine is full of helplessness and compassion , Can't help but make the audience weep.

Excellent visual effects, deep themes and sincere emotions, as well as the common elements of Hollywood blockbusters, such as fantasy, adventure, disaster, action, true love, etc., are stewed in the furnace for up to three hours without cooling.

At this time, the outside world is looking forward to the release of the film.

The arcade machine "Donkey Kong" has ushered in another wave of sales. The Hong Kong pier has a steady stream of arcade machines shipped to the ship. It can't help but make people feel that the legendary technology company is making money as fast as a rocket.

At the same time, the players of "Donkey Kong" are also looking forward to the release of "King Kong".

Disney, [-]th Century Fox, Warner Bros. and other Hollywood film companies are also paying close attention to "King Kong". They cooperated with Legendary Film Company respectively on "Spider-Man", "Space Invaders" and "Star Wars".

If "King Kong" is a big hit at the box office, then maybe the film they collaborated with will also be a big hit!

……

"The most touching human-animal romance in history, I will definitely cry after watching it!!"

"King Kong, it was just to pursue its own love, but it was mercilessly killed by humans!"

"A hero is saddened by a beauty!!! It is several times fiercer than a Tyrannosaurus rex, but it fell on a woman..."

"..."

Hong Kong's major media are bombarding it every day, and almost everyone in Hong Kong knows that "King Kong" will be released on December 12th.

Soon, it will be Christmas day.

"King Kong" was released, it can be described as an empty alley!
The business of Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and Golden Princess theaters is sluggish, and there are no birds at the door.

But the Legend Cinemas, it is hard to find a ticket!
Almost every movie theater is full, even if the ticket price has risen to 40 Hong Kong dollars, it can't dampen people's enthusiasm.

"My God, "King Kong" is so good. It was shocking, but also extremely moving. I cried a lot! The level of the screenwriter and director is amazing!"

"My impression of this movie is that the fighting and special effects of the movie are shocking, the heroine is so beautiful, King Kong is so innocent, and everyone else is bad. The moment King Kong fell from the Empire State Building, a crystal tear flowed from his eyes. His eyes are full of nostalgia and reluctance for the heroine..."

"If King Kong didn't go to New York, it would be great, it can live on the island without any worries. Woohoo, I really want to cry!!"

After the first audience watched "King Kong", they all praised the movie.

The reputation of the movie is overwhelming!

The audience couldn't help promoting the movie wildly to their friends and relatives.

In the evening, there was a long queue at the entrance of the cinema to snap up tickets for "King Kong", which made the reporters who were standing by doing the investigation dumbfounded.

8 o'clock in the morning the next day.

People bought "Hong Kong Daily" one after another, and every time a blockbuster movie invested by Legendary Films, its box office on the first day would be announced on "Hong Kong Daily".

"Ah!!! How is that possible?! The box office of "King Kong" broke through 240 million Hong Kong dollars on the first day..." A reader who bought "Hong Kong Daily" was full of astonishment and cried out.

All the people around the newsstand looked at the person who had just spoken, and were all taken aback.

"Boss, get me a copy of Hong Kong Daily!"

"Boss, I also want a copy of Hong Kong Daily!"

"..."

After a while, people rushed to buy "Hong Kong Daily", found the report of "King Kong", and read the text carefully.

At this moment, the Hong Kong film and television industry and the major media are all shocked.

With such a high box office on the first day, wouldn't the box office of "King Kong" be against the sky?

However, due to the time difference, the United States is 12 hours behind Hong Kong.

In the morning in Hong Kong, it is evening in the United States.

Tickets for "King Kong" are hard to find in major movie theaters.

The blockbuster with special effects crafted by Industrial Light & Magic is even more irresistible to American audiences.

"King Kong" is even more popular than in Hong Kong.

Subsequently, "King Kong" also achieved an astonishing first-day box office in the United States: 1500 million US dollars! ! !
As soon as the box office results came out, Hollywood and the media were all stunned!
"Damn it, the box office on the first day was so high, could the box office of "King Kong" surpass that of "Jaws"?!"

"Oh my God! This stat is unbelievable!"

At this moment, Universal Pictures couldn't help being excited.

Universal is going to make a lot of money now!

If the box office of "King Kong" is higher than that of "Jaws", then Universal's investment plus distribution income, let alone a profit of [-] million US dollars!Global Group's annual profit is only a few hundred million dollars...

"Does Zhang Jun's Legendary Film Company have any major projects?"

"No? Forget it. Then find a good script from within the company, and then contact Spielberg and ask him to be the director!"

After two super-grossing films, Spielberg has proven his ability and has been recognized by everyone.

……

Right now, the world is obsessed with King Kong.

Jardine never expected that in the next few days, Zhang Junhui launched a thunderous momentum and launched a comprehensive acquisition of Wharf and Hongkong Land.

Kirin Securities Co.

Zhang Jun, Zhao Wen and others are ready to fight.

"Let's start!" Zhang Jun said in a deep voice.

"Okay!" Zhao Wen nodded, and immediately ordered the traders to attack Jardine Matheson's other three listed companies, Aviation Services Group, Jardine Automobile Group, and Jardine Insurance Consulting Group.

For a while, the stock prices of the three listed companies of Jardine Matheson rose sharply. No matter how arrogant Jardine Matheson was, they still felt that something was wrong. It was obvious that someone was attacking these listed companies.

These listed companies are quite important to Jardine Matheson, but Jardine Matheson does not hold many shares and may lose control of the company.This forced Jardine to mobilize funds to fight a defensive battle.

"Boss, the Jardine Group should already know that we are acquiring the shares of these three companies. Later, I will let someone announce the number of shares we hold. After Jardine sees it, I am afraid that it will be very frightened. I want to come to them It will end soon and compete with us." Zhao Wen smiled lightly, Kirin Securities was well prepared, and had secretly absorbed a lot of the stocks of these three companies before, making him the second largest shareholder of these three companies, although not as good as Jardine Harmony , but if Jardine let it go, they can fake it and buy these three companies.

And once Jardine spends a huge amount of money to snap up the shares of these three listed companies, Zhao Wen will secretly sell the stocks at a high price, which can not only make a lot of money from it, but also consume Jardine's funds. company, then the stock prices of these three companies must plummet. Under such circumstances, Jardine would not dare to cash out, otherwise the stock price would plummet, and Jardine would lose a lot.

At this time, the Jardine Group is holding an emergency meeting.

"The stocks of the three listed companies have been acquired aggressively, and the other party's intentions are unclear. We must take precautions!" an executive said solemnly.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

A female secretary hurried into the conference room with a flustered face.

"General Manager, Kirin Securities disclosed to the outside world that they hold a large number of shares in Aviation Services Group, Jardine Automobile Group and Jardine Insurance Consulting Group!!!"

Hearing this, the meeting room suddenly became noisy.

Keswick frowned, "How many shares do you hold?"

"Kirin Securities holds 15.5% of Aviation Services Group, 12.6% of Jardine Automobile Group, and 11.4% of Jardine Insurance Advisory Group!!"

As soon as the secretary finished speaking, everyone was so surprised that they couldn't even believe it.

Unknowingly, Kirin Securities holds so many shares that it is almost catching up with Jardine Matheson Group.Everyone immediately felt a strong sense of crisis.

"What is the origin of this Kirin Securities, and it has such a strong capital? If you want to buy so many shares, it will cost at least 3 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"The investigation has not been clear yet. This company has always been very low-key, and it is still held by an overseas offshore company..."

At this time, the general manager of Jardine said to Keswick: "The situation is a bit serious. If we continue to let them snap up stocks in the stock market, within two days, we will lose these three companies!!!"

Keswick pondered for a moment, then said: "Mobilize funds immediately, no matter what, we will keep these three companies!"

The situation was too severe for Keswick to think too much.

"Yes!" Everyone agreed.

At this time, the stockholders were stunned, completely unaware of what happened.

However, it didn't take long for Kirin Securities to send people to announce the relevant confidence on the exchange.

A senior stock investor was surprised and said: "Damn, Kirin Securities is awesome, this is to acquire three listed companies under Jardine Matheson!! I said that the rise in the stock prices of these three listed companies is a bit unusual, so it was an acquisition. Brothers, this opportunity is rare, everyone hurry up to buy it, and then sell it at a high price!"

Hearing this, the stockholders were all excited.

A rare opportunity to make a fortune appeared again. The previous opportunity was two years ago, when the Jardine Group took advantage of its strong financial resources to forcefully acquire the milk company, and the small shareholders made a lot of money.

"Fuck, the stock prices of these three listed companies have risen so rapidly, they have risen by 1 Hong Kong dollar in just ten minutes!!"

"Jardines has entered the market, and the two sides are robbing stocks at high prices!"

"..."

The stock market war between Kirin Securities and Jardine Matheson immediately attracted the attention of people from all walks of life in Hong Kong.

At this time, Jardine was still the Big Mac in Hong Kong, and many people couldn't help admiring that someone dared to stroke its beard.

An upscale golf course in Hong Kong.

Huo Yingdong, Bao Yugang, Li Jiacheng, Zheng Yutong and others gathered together to play and chat.

"You should all know the situation in the stock market. What do you think about this?" Huo Yingdong looked at everyone and asked.

Bao Yugang frowned and said: "The origin of this Qilin Securities Company is unknown, but there is no doubt that it is very strong. If Jardine does not take it seriously, I am afraid it will lose!"

Zheng Yutong took a swing, and then said: "Maybe Kirin Securities just wants to snipe Jardine Matheson, cash out at a high price, and make a lot of money."

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but nodded, not denying the possibility.

"Kirin Securities is a newly established company, and maybe they want to take this opportunity to make a name for themselves!"

Everyone expressed their views one after another.

Li Jiacheng didn't say a word, feeling something was wrong.

If he founded Kirin Securities, he would not take these three companies as a knife.

Wharf and Hongkong Land are the best choices. First, because the market value of these two companies is underestimated by the market. If you buy them, you will not lose money. Second, because these two companies are the real right-hand men of the Jardine Group. Jardine Group will pay more attention to it.

"Old Li, why didn't you say a word?" Bao Yugang walked up to Li Jiacheng and asked curiously.

Li Jiacheng smiled, shook his head and said, "You guys are all finished, I have nothing to say."

"Old Li, don't be modest, who doesn't know you yet, tell me quickly!"

"Row."

Li Jiacheng pondered for a while, and said: "I think it's a bit strange, maybe the purpose of Kirin Securities is not these three listed companies at all."

After a slight pause, Li Jiacheng pointed out something, and said, "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Peigong!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words.

After Li Jiacheng's reminder, everyone knew what this "Xiangzhuang danced the sword with the intention of Peigong" referred to.

"Kirin Securities actually wants to acquire Wharf and Hongkong Land!!!" Zheng Yutong couldn't help but said loudly.

Li Jiacheng nodded and said: "I think it should be, and I guess that the behind-the-scenes boss of Qilin Securities Company is none other than Zhang Jun. In the whole of Hong Kong, who else has more assets than him?"

"That's right, looking at it this way, there is a high possibility that Zhang Jun is the boss of Qilin Securities!" Everyone couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

But immediately, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Wharf and Hongkong Land are the two core assets of Jardine Matheson. It is very difficult to acquire these two companies.Among the people present, I am afraid that only Bao Yugang can determine the possibility, but he can only buy Wharf.

"If Zhang Jun succeeds, the British consortium will suffer a heavy blow, which also means the rise of Chinese businessmen!" Huo Yingdong said quite informatively.

Bao Yugang's face was a little unnatural.

In fact, he also took a fancy to Wharf, but he hadn't made any action yet, and he didn't expect that Zhang Junjie would be the first to board it.

With Zhang Jun's financial resources, even if he buys Wharf forcibly at a high price, there will be no problem. What's more, Kirin Securities Company may have been planning for a long time, and now it is only waiting to reap the final results.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, there were frequent sell orders from Aviation Services Group, Jardine Motors Group, and Jardine Insurance Consulting Group in the stock market. Jardine Group bought them all without checking for a while.

By the time Jardine Matheson reacted, it had already bought 1.8 million Hong Kong dollars in stocks.

Just 15 minutes before the stock market closed, a large number of sell orders appeared on the stock market.At the same time, Kirin Securities once again disclosed the shares in its hands. Everyone saw that the good guy is still missing...

Shareholders panicked. Kirin Securities is not planning to compete with Jardine Matheson for control of the company, so the stock price is so high now that it will definitely fall in the future!

It's too late to say, then soon!
A lot of sell orders appeared.

The share prices of Aviation Services Group, Jardine Motors Group and Jardine Insurance Consultants Group plummeted like an avalanche!
The Jardine Group was suddenly stunned.

The funds raised with great difficulty were all locked up at once~
What's more serious is that Kirin Securities is likely to initiate an acquisition of Wharf and Hongkong Land!

Keswick and the general manager of Jardine rushed to HSBC to seek loan support.

"Dapan, this time, you have to help us no matter what. I guess Zhang Jun is the behind-the-scenes boss of Qilin Securities Company. With his financial resources, he will definitely acquire Wharf and Hongkong Land! And these two companies are Yi Without them, Jardine will lose its dominant position in Hong Kong's economy!" Keswick was in a hurry, and he had already thought clearly on the way here.

Everything is obviously Zhang Jun's conspiracy, and he just fell into it.

Tomorrow, Kirin Securities will definitely buy shares of Wharf and Hong Kong Land on the stock market...

The situation is critical!

Shen Bi also heard about what happened in the stock market that day, so he couldn't help showing sympathy to Keswick, and said, "Keswick, it's not that I don't agree to give you a loan, even if I do, you may not be able to." You can win over Zhang Jun. You must know that Kirin Securities has been established for more than a year, and it does not know how many shares it has acquired secretly. I still advise you, it is better to negotiate with Zhang Jun and sell the shares in your hand at a high price... Otherwise, After he completes the holding, I am afraid that he will dismember the company and sell it to his own company at a low price like he did with Hutchison Whampoa. Maybe Wharf and Hong Kong Land will become empty shells in the future.”

Keswick's scalp tingled when he heard this.

However, he was still a little reconciled.

Shen Bi said: "Since you still want to insist, let's go, you can take the shares of Wharf and Hong Kong Land as collateral, and HSBC can give you a loan!"

Keswick hesitated for a moment, but finally insisted, "Okay, no problem!"

When Shen Bi heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and asked someone to take Keswick to handle the loan business.

Shen Bi had a good idea. Jardine Matheson could not repay the loan, so he sold the shares to Zhang Jun at a high price.

The next morning.

The stock market is turbulent, and many people know that this day is unusual.

A war without gunpowder is about to start.

Huo Yingdong, Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang and others gathered in a tea restaurant near the exchange, while sending people to inquire about the news and keep abreast of the stock market situation.

It's not that everyone has thought about taking advantage of the opportunity to make a profit, but when the battle has reached its peak, going in at this time may not be able to reap the benefits in the end. The most important point is that everyone does not know how many Wharf and Hongkong Land Zhang Jun has already mastered. If Zhang Jun buys enough shares to hold the company, then he will stop buying, and then the stock price will plummet, and he may buy the bottom and get to the top of the mountain.

"As soon as the stock market opened, Wharf and Hongkong Land saw a large number of buy orders, and Kirin Securities and Jardine Company began to enter the market!!!" A young man shouted excitedly while running into the tea restaurant.

"The great battle has begun, and who will win the battle may be decided today!"

It is very likely that Zhang Jun will directly fight for a quick decision, and will not wrestle with the Jardine Group there.

It takes three years to sharpen a sword, and once to test the edge.

Everyone is not optimistic about Jardine.

At this time, the atmosphere in Jardine Company was extremely depressed.

Keswick and others gathered in a large conference room to understand the real-time changes in the stock market through the phone.

"Boss, the stock prices of Wharf and Hongkong Land have risen by 1.5 Hong Kong dollars and 2 Hong Kong dollars respectively!" The operator said loudly with a startled expression.

Keswick said in a deep voice: "No matter how much it goes up, I will buy it!"

"Yes!"

Compared with Jardine Matheson, Kirin Securities is much more relaxed and comfortable.

Zhao Wen and Zhang Jun still had time to drink tea and chat in the office.

"Boss, I have already sent people to contact many small shareholders of Wharf and Hongkong Land, bought shares from them at a high price, and added sweet dates to the stick, which quickly made them realize the reality..."

If you don’t sell it now, after Zhang Jun takes control of the company, then you small shareholders will wait to be bullied to death by the big shareholders, and there are various means.

Zhao Wen sent someone to threaten him, but it was very effective.

Don't you see that the shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa have no right to speak at all now, Zhang Jun is not too cruel.If you are ruthless, directly sell Wharf and Hongkong Land as shell companies, and engage in profit transfer, just ask you if you are happy?

With great fanfare and high prices to absorb stocks, the acquisition speed was very fast. In less than an hour, Kirin Securities bought 1% of Wharf shares and 3.5% of Hong Kong Land shares from the stock market.

Minority shareholders also own a lot of shares, buying a total of 7.5% of Wharf shares and 8.8% of Hong Kong Land shares.

Kirin Securities originally held 33% of Wharf shares and 31% of Hong Kong Land shares.

That is, currently Kirin Securities holds
Wharf: 44%.

Hongkong Land: 43%
