Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 117 Walking the Way of Li Jiacheng
"Li Jiacheng Bao Yugang."

Looking at the silent Bao Yugang, Lin Baicheng suddenly had a thought, and he said, "Bao Sheng, I remember you are a director of HSBC, right?"

"Ok?"

Bao Yugang was a little puzzled why Lin Baicheng asked this suddenly, but he still nodded: "Yes, I was a director of HSBC a few years ago."

Lin Baicheng asked solemnly: "Then let me ask again, Bao Sheng, do you really want to buy Wharf and are you willing to pay a certain price for it?"

"Yes, as long as the price is not too high for me to accept!"

Seeing Lin Baicheng's serious inquiry, Bao Yugang also answered his question solemnly.

"Then listen to my suggestion and see if you can accept it, Baosheng."

This is what Lin Baicheng suddenly thought of when he thought of the incident before his rebirth. He said: "You should know about the company Hutchison Whampoa, right? It was formed by the merger of the old Hutchison and Whampoa Shipyard. Control. However, if the information I have heard is correct, the Kidezun family only owns about 20% of Hutchison Whampoa, and HSBC, as the major shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, also owns about 20% of the shares.”

"HSBC Bank holds 9000 million shares of Hutchison Whampoa, accounting for a total of 22.5%. I don't know how much the Qi Dezun family owns in Hutchison Whampoa. I can only confirm that it is around 20%, and it will not be higher than HSBC. There are many banks." Bao Yugang said.

"I hope that Bao Sheng can use his status as a director of HSBC to help persuade HSBC to sell all the shares in Hutchison Whampoa to me. You can get the best of both worlds, what do you think?"

This is what Lin Baicheng suddenly thought of. Li Jiacheng did this in his previous life, and Lin Baicheng can use it.Although he may not be able to get the strong support of HSBC like Li Jiacheng, not only sell the stock to Li Jiacheng at half price, but also only need to pay 20% of the funds first, but now Lin Baicheng is much richer than Li Jiacheng at that time, He could well afford all of HSBC's holdings.

Lin Baicheng doesn't need HSBC to give him as much support as he gave Li Jiacheng in his previous life, as long as HSBC is willing to sell the shares of Hutchison Whampoa to him.

For Wharf, Lin Baicheng doesn't have to buy it, he can also buy Hutchison Whampoa.In terms of the real estate industry alone, Hutchison Whampoa is actually better than Wharf, because Hutchison Whampoa can now be said to be the landlord of Xiangjiang, and the land area in its hands is larger than that of Wharf. The future development of the real estate industry will only make more money. .

Of course, Hutchison Whampoa held more than 300 companies at one time. Even if there are not so many now, there should be more than 100 or [-] companies, but it is a pity that they are not professional.

Moreover, Hutchison Whampoa, the predecessor of Hutchison Whampoa, also borrowed money to invest. It just happened to encounter the oil crisis a few years ago, the stock market plummeted, and then it went to the street. HSBC, which took advantage of the fire, took advantage of it.

The reason why HSBC is said to be taking advantage of the fire is because Hutchison International originally wanted to get a loan from HSBC for financing, but HSBC disagreed and wanted to inject capital into shares, otherwise the whole world would be in an economic crisis, and In addition to HSBC, Ji International couldn't find any other banks that could provide loans, so in the end, it could only cut the meat to HSBC.

"Is that so?"

Bao Yugang couldn't help thinking when he heard the words. Of course he knew about Hutchison Whampoa, and he had thought about it before. After all, as a director of HSBC, he knew that HSBC had a large number of shares in Hutchison Whampoa, and his identity was also important. It is easy to buy these shares from HSBC.

However, Bao Yugang finally gave up, mainly because Hutchison Whampoa's business was too complicated and the deficit was too large. The problem was that there were still a lot of debts, and he couldn't guarantee that he could run this giant company. After the acquisition, the development is not good, but it will be trapped in billions of Hong Kong dollars.

Wharf is different. It does not have as many businesses as Hutchison Whampoa, and it suits him very well. Therefore, Wharf is better for Bao Yugang.

"In principle, I have no problem."

This is a good thing for Bao Yugang, he does not need to spend more money to buy shares of Wharf from Lin Baicheng at a premium. "However, I'm just a director of HSBC. Whether this matter can be completed or not depends on the thoughts of HSBC boss Shen Congee. I can only say that I will try my best to help make a match, which will benefit everyone, but I can't guarantee whether it will be successful."

Lin Baicheng said: "This is the best solution I can think of that is beneficial to everyone. Otherwise, Bao Sheng, you want to buy Wharf, and I also want to buy Wharf. They compete with each other, and it is very likely that no one will get it in the end."

"What Lin Sheng said is that I will try my best to convince Shen Daban."

Bao Yugang also knows that Lin Baicheng's proposal is beneficial to everyone, so he will naturally try his best.It's just that even if he has a lot of confidence in his heart, he won't make a guarantee.

"However, Lin Sheng, when I was discussing with Daban Shen, I also hoped that you could temporarily stop buying shares in Cangjiang Industrial, and at the same time, how about not joining the board of directors of Cangjiang Industrial? Just take it as a slap in the face for Bao Yugang. .”

"Since you have said that, Baosheng, I will naturally give you face."

Lin Baicheng responded with a smile. Anyway, he now holds about 20% of the shares of Cangjiang Industrial. It's okay if he doesn't continue to buy, just take it as a face for Bao Yugang.

Bao Yugang was very happy that Lin Baicheng was able to save face, he smiled and said: "Well, I will find time to talk to Shen Daban about the Hutchison Whampoa shares, hope the negotiation can be successful, Lin Sheng, just wait for my news. "

"Then I'll just wait for Baosheng's good news."

Lin Baicheng raised his teacup as a gesture.

Although Lin Baicheng's acquisition of Wharf has changed again because of Li Jiacheng's troublesome misfortune, but it may be a blessing in disguise to get Hutchison Whampoa, which is a bigger company than Wharf.

Wharf is certainly good, but Hutchison Whampoa is definitely not bad, at least in Lin Baicheng's opinion.

Lin Baicheng and Bao Yugang chatted for a while, and then left the Peninsula Hotel respectively.

After returning to the company, Lin Baicheng immediately approached Cheng Yufeng and told Cheng Yufeng about the meeting with Bao Yugang in the afternoon. He wanted to hear Cheng Yufeng's opinion.

Although Lin Baicheng didn't think there was anything wrong with his proposal, it was still necessary to listen to other people's opinions. After all, when it came to academic qualifications and abilities, he was not as strong as Cheng Yufeng.

Of course, Lin Baicheng would not choose to listen to Cheng Yufeng and others, he is a reborn after all.Let’s take the example of going long on gold. Cheng Yufeng and the others didn’t recommend Lin Baicheng to do that. They thought it was too risky, but for the reborn Lin Baicheng, there was no risk at all and it was a profitable business. Can you listen to them?Obviously not, you have to make up your own mind.
