Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 517 8 million dividends! (two in one)

It is related to Hutchison Whampoa's transaction of up to one billion Hong Kong dollars. He holds a lot of shares in Hutchison Whampoa. As a director of Hutchison Whampoa, Guo Henian also came to Hutchison Whampoa during the transaction.

Therefore, after the press conference, while Lin Baicheng called Wei Li to his office, he asked Guo Henian to speak in his office.

Lin Baicheng first had a few polite words with Guo Henian, and then got down to business.

"Guo Sheng, I invited you here to discuss with you about Hutchison's dividend this year."

"You can decide this matter, Lin Sheng."

After hearing this, Guo Henian said that he is still very self-aware. The control of Hutchison Whampoa is in the hands of Lin Baicheng. Even if he disagrees with some of Lin Baicheng's opinions, it is useless. At most, he will cause Lin Baicheng some troubles, but it is right He's not doing any good.

"Guo Sheng is also a director of Hutchison. He still needs to inform Guo Sheng about major decisions about Hutchison."

Lin Baicheng smiled, Guo Henian is self-aware, and of course Lin Baicheng will treat Guo Henian a little bit less. Except for important secrets like gold futures investment, there is no need to hide other decisions about the company's development from Guo Henian.

Taking the matter of dividends as an example, Lin Baicheng did not make a decision in a single word, but discussed with Guo Henian. Although his own opinion is the most important, he did this to respect Guo Henian, a director, and everyone gave each other face.

"I don't have any opinion on the matter of dividends."

Of course, Guo Henian would not have any objections, and he even wished that the more funds he received as dividends, the better.Take the 8.1% shares of Hutchison Whampoa he currently holds as an example. If the dividend is 6 million Hong Kong dollars, it will be nearly 5000 million Hong Kong dollars, which is a lot.

Speaking of which, Guo Henian bought the shares of Hutchison Whampoa at the beginning because he valued the channels of Watsons and opened up new channels for his sugar, cooking oil and other commodities, but now the changes in the market value of the shares alone have made him a huge profit.

Guo Henian spent nearly 8 million Hong Kong dollars to buy 8.1% of Hutchison Whampoa shares. Today, the market value of these shares exceeds 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the book profit exceeds 12 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Lin Baicheng said to the two of them: "The reason why I called Guo Sheng and Wei Li is to discuss with you the appropriate amount of funds for dividends with Huang this year."

Guo Henian smiled and said, "I'm sure I don't know as much about He Huang as Lin Sheng and Wei Li do, so it's good for the two of you to discuss and decide on this matter, and I'll just listen in."

Wei Li glanced at Guo Henian, and then said: "Let me just talk about my point of view. Last year, the company's dividend fund was 6 million Hong Kong dollars. This year's company's development can be said to be better than last year, so I personally think that this year's dividend fund Try not to be less than 6 million Hong Kong dollars. Once the dividend is less than 6 million Hong Kong dollars, the outside world may have bad associations and suspect that the company is short of funds or something.”

Lin Baicheng nodded after listening, and asked Wei Li: "Wei Li, if the company spends 8 million Hong Kong dollars now, will it affect the company's development?"

"Will not."

Wei Li shook his head: "The Golden Gate Building sold by the company is about to receive 6 million Hong Kong dollars in the account. If the company's dividend is 8 million Hong Kong dollars, the company only needs to take out an additional 2 million Hong Kong dollars. With the funds in the company's current account, take out 2 million Hong Kong dollars. One hundred million Hong Kong dollars is nothing."

Lin Baicheng looked at Guo Henian: "Guo Sheng, what do you think of the dividend of 8 million Hong Kong dollars?"

"As long as Lin Sheng and Wei Li think it will not affect the development of Hutchison, I have no problem."

Guo Henian smiled, and did some calculations in his mind, and found that out of the 8 million Hong Kong dollars in dividends, he could get 6480 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not a small amount.

"Since both of you have no objections, then it's decided. This year's dividend fund is 8 million Hong Kong dollars."

Seeing that Guo Henian had no objection, Lin Baicheng made a final decision.He calculated, 8 million Hong Kong dollars can be divided into 3.992 million Hong Kong dollars, and the difference of 80 Hong Kong dollars is 4 million Hong Kong dollars. Adding the 2.994 million Hong Kong dollars in dividends last year, the total dividends will be nearly 7 million Hong Kong dollars.

Lin Baicheng spent a little over HK$15 billion to buy 49.9% of Hutchison Whampoa's shares, and now he has received nearly HK$7 million in dividends alone, which is nearly half of his return.

With the current market value of Hutchison Whampoa, Lin Baicheng's rate of return in this company has reached 15 times, but this is the book rate of return. If the shares are sold now, the price will definitely not be as high as 120 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Hutchison Whampoa has decided on a dividend of 8 million Hong Kong dollars this year, and Guo Henian and Wei Li have no objections.

Seeing that both of them agreed, Lin Baicheng said to Wei Li: "Wei Li, the matter of dividends will be discussed in the board meeting next week. Please mention it. After the board of directors approves it, it will be implemented immediately." Now that the amount of dividends has been decided, there is no money It is necessary to put it on the account of Hutchison Whampoa, it is better to keep it safe.

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Wei Li responded.

Guo Henian asked Lin Baicheng at this time: "Lin Sheng, does He Huang get dividends every year?"

"As long as Hutchison is still under my control, and as long as Hutchison's performance in that year is not bad, then Hutchison will definitely pay dividends in that year. As for the specific amount of dividends, it depends on Hutchison's performance in that year and whether there is any A lot of money is needed.”

There is no need to pay taxes on dividends, because the company’s dividend funds have already paid taxes, so unless Hutchison Whampoa is in trouble in a certain year, Lin Baicheng will insist on dividends every year, so that he can get a sum of money that does not need to pay taxes every year up.

Guo Henian couldn't help but said: "If Hehuang has dividends every year, and the dividends are not low, then Hehuang's stock will definitely be more favored by some funds in the future."

"I pay more attention to the long-term development of Hutchison. As long as shareholders hold Hutchison shares for a long time, they will naturally enjoy the dividends brought by Hutchison's development."

Lin Baicheng nodded with a smile, but even though he said so, when necessary, he would still appropriately reduce some stocks in his hand, and buy them back after the stock price fell to a certain level, as a short-term trade.

Guo Henian suddenly said: "Lin Sheng, I want to ask you something."

"Please say."

Lin Baicheng reached out his hand to signal.

Guo Henian: "The company's Hutchison Hotel will be completed and opened in a few months. I want to ask, is Hutchison going to enter the hotel industry?"

"Guo Sheng asked this because he was worried that the Hehuang Hotel would affect the Shangri-La Hotel, right? The Hehuang Hotel has not yet been built, but the Shangri-La Hotel has already gained a good reputation. Even if there is competition, the Hehuang Hotel cannot compete with Shangri-La. hotel."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help laughing when he heard the words. Knowing that Guo Henian had the Shangri-La Hotel Group under his name, he subconsciously thought of this.

"It's pretty much the same."

Guo Henian said with a smile: "This is what I think. If the Hehuang Hotel will continue to expand, I hope that the two hotels will not be built together. Let alone Asia, Xiangjiang alone is not small. There is no need for two hotels." When building together, which party wants to build a hotel, say where and avoid each other, which is beneficial to everyone.”

"That's true."

Lin Baicheng nodded in agreement: "Hutchison Hotel will definitely expand in the future, but Hutchison's main business is real estate, retail and medicine, so the expansion of the hotel will not be so fast."

"However, what Guo Sheng said is not bad. If there is any expansion intention with Huangda Hotel in the future, we will discuss it with Shangri-La Hotel, and we will avoid direct competition."

This is beneficial to both parties, so Lin Baicheng has no objection.

"Hearing what Lin Sheng said, I'm relieved."

Shangri-La Hotel Group is an extremely important industry under Guo Henian's name. He attaches great importance to it. Although he is not afraid of competing with Hehuang Hotel, if he can avoid direct competition, it is better to avoid it.

After a while, Guo Henian and Wei Li left Lin Baicheng's office.

…………

"Cheers!" "Cheers!"

In the chairman's office of Carrian Group, Chen Songqing and Zhong Zhengwen were drinking red wine to celebrate.

After the press conference at Hutchison Whampoa, Chen Songqing returned to Carrian Group, and Zhong Zhengwen was already waiting for him in his office, waiting for him to come back to celebrate.

After drinking, Zhong Zhengwen said excitedly, "This time we can buy the Golden Gate Building from Hutchison Whampoa, and the company is about to take off."

"Yes!"

Chen Songqing was also very excited: "Bought the Golden Gate Building, the two roads we originally planned have been completed halfway, and the other backdoor listing can also be started."

"Funding?"

Zhong Zhengwen was slightly worried.

Chen Songqing waved his hand: "Don't worry about the funds, I have already thought of how to raise them. Now that the company bought the Golden Gate Building from Hutchison Whampoa, it will inevitably cause a huge shock in Hong Kong. The company can only get more funds from loans, so don't worry Funding issues."

"I know these are not problems with your abilities."

Hearing what Chen Songqing said, Zhong Zhengwen immediately felt relieved.Of course he knew that Chen Songqing was making false accounts, and he was not the only one in the company who knew about it, but everyone was a collection of interests, and there were too many interests involved, which made it difficult for him to let go.

Chen Songqing said: "We still need your cooperation in the future."

"You tell me how to do it, and I will cooperate with you."

Zhong Zhengwen nodded in response, this was what he was supposed to do.

"Ok!"

Chen Songqing nodded, and then said: "This time we bought the Golden Gate Building not only achieved the goal of becoming famous in Xiangjiang, but also connected with HSBC. Not only did HSBC give the company hundreds of millions of loans, but also let HSBC invest [-] million Hong Kong dollars. In the future, we must hold on to HSBC, as long as we have the support of HSBC, we can develop Carrian Group into one of the giants of Xiangjiang without even making fake accounts.”

Zhong Zhengwen agreed: "False accounts cannot last long. It would be the best if we can develop the company through HSBC. Then we will have no risk."

Taking a sip of his wine, Chen Songqing said: "Not only HSBC, but also Lin Baicheng, the richest man in Hong Kong. Whether it's his own fame or the Galaxy Bank under his name, we can borrow our strength."

"The richest man in Xiangjiang? Isn't he being tricked by us!"

Zhong Zhengwen snorted coldly when he heard the words. It is impossible to say that he is not jealous of Lin Baicheng, the richest man in Xiangjiang. It only took Lin Baicheng two years to have his current wealth.

"Don't be careless."

Seeing this, Chen Songqing said solemnly: "Although Lin Baicheng is young, he can own the wealth he has today, and Hutchison Whampoa is also managed by him in an orderly manner, which shows that he is not as simple as a lucky one, and has his own advantages. We What you are doing is very risky, so you must be cautious and not be careless, you should know what will happen to us if something happens."

"You said yes, I will be careful."

Although he was a little disapproving, Zhong Zhengwen still solemnly expressed his understanding. He knew very well that what he and Chen Songqing did must not cause any accidents, otherwise those who waited for him would not end well, and even the Zhong family would not be able to keep him.

"Well, let's talk about something happy."

Seeing this, Chen Songqing said with a smile: "I have already calculated that once our plan goes well, after Carrian Group goes public, the company's market value will definitely exceed 20 billion Hong Kong dollars. At that time, you and I can easily own hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. net worth."

"Hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars!"

Zhong Zhengwen couldn't help his eyes light up when he heard this. His current net worth is not as high as hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and Carrian Group can easily allow him to own so much net worth. It was indeed right to choose to cooperate with Chen Songqing .

Chen Songqing: "After the company goes public, we still need to improve our performance and try our best to trap Hutchison Whampoa and HSBC. Otherwise, if these two companies continue to reduce their shareholdings in the company, it will be bad for us."

"Hutchison Whampoa holds more than 30% of the company's shares. It may not be easy to prevent Hutchison Whampoa from reducing its shareholding."

"I also know this. It is best to keep Hutchison Whampoa from reducing its shareholding. If not, there is no other way. It is also good for Hutchison Whampoa to reduce its holdings."

"What you said is, anyway, you can arrange it, and I will listen to you."

"Okay, let's wish our cooperation success!"

Chen Songqing and Zhong Zhengwen clinked glasses again. Zhong Zhengwen was able to understand his own position, which made Chen Songqing feel relieved. He was afraid that Zhong Zhengwen's eyes would be fascinated, he could not see his own position clearly, and he would compete with him for control. That would be troublesome.

In the next few days, the news that Carrian Group acquired the Golden Gate Building from Hutchison Whampoa at a price of more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars can be said to have shocked the entire Hong Kong. Many people were discussing it, and the reputation of Carrian Group also spread. .

Chen Songqing has been very high-profile in the past few days, appearing in newspapers frequently, promoting himself and Carrian Group.

In the past few days, Chen Songqing asked Lin Baicheng to meet several times, but Lin Baicheng declined all of them, because Lin Baicheng didn't want to have too much entanglement with Chen Songqing, which made Chen Songqing very disappointed.

Fortunately, Chen Songqing was not without gains, that is, he and Shen Congee met several times, and the relationship between the two sides was getting closer.The main reason is that in Shen Cong's view, Carrian Group is a high-quality customer on the rise, so of course he doesn't mind making friends with Chen Songqing.
