Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 238 Jardine's Move
After Huo Yaohua left, Lin Baicheng picked up the phone and called Bao Yugang.

It's working time now, Lin Baicheng called directly to Global Shipping, and Bao Yugang was indeed there.

"Lin Sheng!"

"Bao Sheng, just now the two executives from Standard Chartered and HSBC asked me if I bought Wharf shares to buy the company. They asked on behalf of Jardine Matheson. Jardine Matheson already knew about my purchase of stocks. gone."

Lin Baicheng told Bao Yugang about the matter, after all, he helped Bao Yugang buy stocks.

"Is that so? It seems that Yihe's reaction is really fast."

Bao Yugang said with regret, if Lin Baicheng could buy in secret for a few more days, then he could buy more stocks without spending too much money.

Lin Baicheng asked aloud: "Bao Sheng, what do you think should be done next?"

"Jardine's reaction was a bit quick, but I have taken all these into consideration."

Bao Yugang said something, and then said: "Lin Sheng, the stock price of Wharf is less than 23 Hong Kong dollars now, I hope you can buy a large amount of Wharf's stock, and don't worry about Jardine. Jardine lost hundreds of millions this time It is not so easy to raise hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.”

"I have prepared 3 million Hong Kong dollars in funds. If I buy a large number of stocks, the stock price will inevitably rise sharply. I am afraid that the Wharf stocks that can be bought at that time will only account for about 10% of the total shares." Lin Baicheng listened and said.

"Lin Sheng, can't you raise some more funds?"

Bao Yugang immediately asked, he thought that Lin Baicheng could come up with more funds.

"At most, we can get another 1 million Hong Kong dollars, but this 1 million Hong Kong dollars is not worth it at all."

Lin Baicheng said that in fact, he still has 2 million U.S. dollars of principal in the United States to do long gold futures through Goldman Sachs channels, and the financing can be canceled at any time, but it is impossible for him to bring the funds back for the acquisition of Bao Yugang. It is his interest.

"I can go to the bank for a short-term loan. I believe the interest rate will not be too high, but this matter must not be hidden from others, and Jardine will know about it. I don't think Jardine can remain indifferent."

Bao Yugang thought for a while when he heard the words, and then said: "Lin Sheng, tomorrow I will ask you to borrow 2 million Hong Kong dollars from a Chinese-owned bank, plus Lin Sheng's 4 million Hong Kong dollars, the 6 million Hong Kong dollars should be About 20% of the shares can be acquired. When I buy these shares from you, Lin Sheng, I believe that if Jardine is smart enough, it will give up the control of Wharf.”

Lin Baicheng responded aloud: "Okay, Bao Sheng, you can do whatever you say."

"Lin Sheng, don't worry, I won't let you suffer. At that time, all the interest of the 2 million Hong Kong dollar loan will be counted on me."

That little interest is just a small amount of money, so Bao Yugang won't let Lin Baicheng pay it, that would be too dishonest.

"Then I'm welcome."

Lin Baicheng didn't push back and forth with Bao Yugang, anyway, the short-term loan interest of 2 million Hong Kong dollars would definitely not be high, and it was nothing to the two of them.

After finishing the call with Bao Yugang, Lin Baicheng called Anyuan and asked him to buy a large amount without raising the stock price of Wharf too high, even if he spent all the funds of 3 million Hong Kong dollars, it would be fine.

After Anyuan received the order, he immediately arranged for a large number of people to buy the stock price of Wharf, and at the same time arranged for a group of people to hold the stock and wait on the exchange, waiting for orders to suppress the stock price at any time.Only by suppressing and accumulating money can one be able to buy a large number of stocks without greatly increasing the stock price.

After the stock price of Wharf changed, Jardine Matheson, who had been paying attention, immediately knew about it. Henry Kessack immediately knew that it was Lin Baicheng who was buying the stock of Wharf.

Henry Cassack has learned from Standard Chartered and HSBC that Lin Baicheng bought stocks for financial investment, but he is not completely convinced. Now that Lin Baicheng has increased his buying after being exposed, he is more sure that there is a problem, at least Lin Baicheng will not be as simple as pure financial investment.

For the control of Wharf, Jardine will not give up easily, but even if Jardine wants to do something now, it must have funds in hand.And Jardine doesn't have a lot of funds in hand now, so for the time being, it can only watch and let the stock price of Wharf fluctuate.

In the afternoon, Lin Baicheng transferred another 1 million Hong Kong dollars from Galaxy Games to Yum Securities, adding up to 4 million Hong Kong dollars he invested.If all the money is spent, he can earn 8000 million Hong Kong dollars from Bao Yugang, and there will be more than 7000 million Hong Kong dollars after deducting taxes, which is not too small.

The next afternoon, Lin Baicheng went to a teahouse at the invitation of Bao Yugang, and met another person in a private room.

Under Bao Yugang's introduction, Lin Baicheng knew that this person was Li Fushu, the chairman of the Bank of East Asia.Bank of East Asia, as the largest Chinese bank in Xiangjiang, is controlled by the Li Fushu family. Although the Li Fushu family does not hold a lot of shares in Bank of East Asia, they have a wide network of contacts, so they have always controlled the largest Chinese bank in Xiangjiang. .

Of course, when talking about Chinese-funded banks, you must mention Hang Seng Bank, but Hang Seng Bank's current Chinese-funded attributes are no longer so pure, and the controlling stake is in the hands of HSBC, so it can no longer be called a Chinese-funded bank.

The total market value of Bank of East Asia is as high as about 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it controls more funds. Therefore, it is easy for Bank of East Asia to take out a loan of 2 million Hong Kong dollars from Bank of East Asia.

Although the loan of 2 million Hong Kong dollars from the Bank of East Asia was in the name of Lin Baicheng this time, the person who really wanted the loan was Bao Yugang, so Bao Yugang and Li Fushu had already negotiated the loan.

Lin Baicheng came here not to discuss the loan with Li Fushu, but to make sure that this matter has been discussed, and to meet with Li Fushu. The follow-up funds need to be connected with the Bank of East Asia.

After talking about the loan, Lin Baicheng said goodbye and left.

The next morning, Lin Baicheng saw news reports about his acquisition of Wharf from several newspapers, and he said it carefully, as if the newspaper that reported the matter knew it all.

Seeing the relevant news, Lin Baicheng immediately contacted Bao Yugang. The two guessed that Jardine Mathematics might have done this in order to raise the stock price so that Lin Baicheng could not buy too many shares of Wharf.

Jardine used this trick, Lin Baicheng immediately asked Bao Yugang what to do, this time Bao Yugang did not make a decision right away, saying that he had to think about it.

Lin Baicheng didn't care about this. After all, it was Bao Yugang who wanted to buy Wharf, not himself.Even if this kind of thing happened, he didn't need to worry about it. What he needed to worry about was Bao Yu's treatment just now.

Even if Bao Yugang changed his mind and stopped asking him to help buy Wharf, Lin Baicheng didn't have much loss, it was nothing more than a sum of less money.
