Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 646 Lao Li's Sense of Crisis and Adventure (Two in One)

HSBC, Taipan Office.

Shen Porridge entertained Li Jiacheng who had arrived, and the two drank black tea.

Li Jiacheng said to Shen Congee: "Dapan, what do you think about Lin Baicheng's public acquisition of the telephone company?"

"It mainly depends on what you think, Li Sheng."

There is no need to go around in circles for the close cooperation between the two, Shen Porridge said directly: "If you don't want to give up, Li Sheng, HSBC can give you a certain amount of support, but I'm afraid this support can't be too strong. After all, our cooperation cannot be made public. I have to give an account to HSBC’s minority shareholders and not mess around.”

"What's more, Li Sheng, you have to think about whether it's worth it or not. Now Lin Sheng already holds nearly 32% of the shares. After the afternoon, the proportion of the shares he holds can reach 35%. Do you want to acquire more than this I’m afraid it’s very difficult to get a proportional share, and even if it can be done, it will cost a lot.”

Inside the words, Shen Porridge is still trying to persuade Li Jiacheng to give up the acquisition of the telephone company, because the possibility of the acquisition being successful is too small.

"Taipan, I also know what you said. If you want to prevent Lin Baicheng from acquiring the telephone company, unless the telephone company and Jardine Matheson can join hands in a very short period of time, and then buy a large number of shares at a premium at the same price, there is no hope at all."

Li Jiacheng nodded to express his understanding. There was no need to analyze the current situation, as he could see it clearly.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Shen Congee asked aloud, and said, "You should have acquired a lot of shares in telephone companies by now, right?"

Li Jiacheng nodded: "Well, including the purchases from the stock market, it is about 3.3% more, nearly 500 million shares."

Shen Congee said: "You'd better make a decision early. If you sell the shares at the price that Lin Sheng bought now, you can make a profit of more than 1000 million Hong Kong dollars this time. Your busy schedule is not in vain."

"It's not that much, it's only about 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, and I want to buy the phone company more, so that the profit will be greater."

Li Jiacheng couldn't help shaking his head. He knew very well that there is no way to acquire the telephone company now, so it is useless to keep the shares of the telephone company in his hand. Instead of occupying funds, it is better to hurry sell.

It's just that the profit of 1000 million Hong Kong dollars is not low, but compared to the benefits that can be brought in the future after the acquisition of the telephone company, Li Jiacheng thinks that the profit of 1000 million Hong Kong dollars is too little.

Li Jiacheng bought the shares of the telephone company from other minority shareholders at a premium, otherwise he would not have been able to buy as many shares of the telephone company as he had in a short period of time.

"More importantly, I have to look for another project. The 6 million Hong Kong dollars that Cangjiang Industrial loaned cannot be kept in the account all the time. The annual interest alone is an astronomical sum. I have to find Otherwise, other shareholders will definitely feel dissatisfied, and Lin Baicheng will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble."

Cangjiang Industrial borrowed 6 million Hong Kong dollars from HSBC. Based on the annual interest rate of 8%, the annual interest repayment is 4800 million Hong Kong dollars, and the monthly interest is 400 million Hong Kong dollars.

The 1000 million Hong Kong dollars profit from the telephone company this time is not enough to pay off the interest for three months, so once the loan funds are too long without deciding where to invest, the daily interest loss will be a huge figure.

"It's still the same sentence, if you need help, you can find me."

Shen Congee said aloud that he has no way to make Cangjiang Industry not have to repay the interest, and it is impossible to do so. All he can do is to help in terms of human resources.

"I won't be polite, Taipan, thank you."

Li Jiacheng thanked him and held up his teacup as a gesture.

"you are welcome."

Shen Conge drank the lipstick tea.

After putting down the teacup, Li Jiacheng said: "Dapan, do you think it is possible to contact the telephone company and Jardine Matheson and ask one of them to raise the stock price of the telephone company so that I can earn more and at the same time let Lin Baicheng pay more?" Bleeding?"

"I don't think it's very likely."

If possible, Shen Porridge would not mind letting Lin Baicheng bleed, but he still said truthfully: "Lin Sheng's current shareholding ratio has exceeded 30%, and after this afternoon, his shareholding ratio will reach at least 35%. Even if you join forces, the chances of winning are not great. And once the control falls to Lin Sheng, and you are hostile to him, he will probably choose to increase capital and share and let you continue to invest money, otherwise you will wait for the shares to be sold out. Dilute it, then your losses will be great."

"Although Lin Sheng will lose a lot if he does that, the stock price of the telephone company will fall to an outrageous price, and he will also have to invest a lot of money, but in terms of funds, with his net worth, you can't afford it."

"And the most important thing is that it is very difficult for you to decide to join forces this afternoon. Li Sheng, you can make your own decisions. The telephone company can't make a decision right away. Jardine Matheson also needs to hold a board meeting."

"Finally, it takes time to raise funds. Even if the telephone company and Jardine Matheson both seek loans from HSBC, it will take time to complete the loan procedures. It is impossible to complete everything this afternoon."

"And if there is no way to unite for the first time this afternoon and publicly purchase the shares of the telephone company, by tomorrow, Lin Sheng will only hold more shares in the telephone company. Maybe he will buy all the shares he needs in one afternoon."

In Shen Cong's view, the time is too short, and there is little possibility of raising the stock price of the telephone company. On the contrary, if it is deeply involved, there is a great risk.

"In fact, I understand these reasons, but I am somewhat unwilling. This is not the first time that I wanted to acquire a company, but it was acquired by Lin Baicheng in the end."

Li Jiacheng sighed. At first he wanted to acquire Qizhou Yingni Company, but in the end the company fell into the hands of Lin Baicheng.The acquisition of Qizhou Yingni Company was okay, at least Li Jiacheng got a lot of land, and the benefits he got were even greater, unlike this time, he could only get some premium income from the stock.

"This is something that can't be helped. Lin Sheng has strong capital, and there are only so many high-quality companies in Xiangjiang. It's normal for you to have the same goal. It's just that Li Sheng's capital is not strong enough, so you often can't compete with Lin Sheng."

"Lin Sheng has strong capital, he can acquire the target early on, slowly buy the target company's stock until he buys a certain amount, more than 30% of the shares like now, and then make a premium acquisition, no one can stop him at all , unless it can be discovered that he is buying stock in a company in the first place."

Shen Congee said very objectively that he knew very well that Lin Baicheng would not only be able to successfully acquire the company he wanted to acquire by doing so, but also without spending a lot of money.For example, Bao Yugang bought Wharf, because there was a lot of trouble at the beginning, Jardine Matheson also bought shares in order to keep the company, and then the company's stock price doubled immediately, and Bao Yugang spent several times more money to buy Wharf. Purchased.

But Lin Baicheng is different. Taking the current telephone company as an example, the current nearly 32% of the shares must not have much premium, and the remaining 1800 million shares have a lot of premium, but it is nothing more than spending more than 2000 million Hong Kong dollars. , this is just a small number in the acquisition of a billion-dollar company.

"He's really getting stronger now."

Li Jiacheng was very distressed. He knew that Lin Baicheng was not dealing with him, and that Cangjiang Industry was being suppressed to a certain extent. Fortunately, he still had some connections and HSBC helped him, so Cangjiang Industry would not have any problems.

But if it continues like this, Lin Baicheng continues to develop, but he stays where he is, then he will only become more and more dangerous.

"Let's not talk about him, tell me what you are going to do next. Instead of thinking about how to deal with him, it is better to think about how to develop yourself first. Only after your strength reaches a certain level can you break up with him. Qualifications of the wrist."

There is one more thing Shen Congee didn't say, that is, only the stronger Li Jiacheng is, can HSBC's investment in Li Jiacheng be rewarded, otherwise the investment in Li Jiacheng will be in vain.

"I'm going to speculate."

There is nothing to hide about Shen Congee, so Li Jiacheng said: "Actually, I have had this idea for a long time, but I haven't had much capital. The transaction of a building is at least hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Now that there is no way to buy the telephone company, Then these funds can be used to speculate in real estate, just in the past two years, the overall land price has risen."

"When it comes to real estate speculation, Lin Sheng is a pioneer."

Shen Congee listened and said: "Last year, Lin Sheng let Hutchison Whampoa borrow more than 26 billion Hong Kong dollars to buy the commercial properties of the building. Later, whether it was the sale of the Golden Gate Building or the Federal Building, he made a fortune, and other properties also appreciated. .”

"If those properties are sold now, Hutchison Whampoa can at least make a profit of one billion Hong Kong dollars, but judging by Lin Sheng's appearance, Hutchison Whampoa will not sell those properties for the time being, and they still have to hold their hands. I just don't know what to wait for." It's time to start selling."

For this reason, HSBC gave Hutchison Whampoa a large amount of loans, and it also made a lot of money.

Li Jiacheng said: "From this point, it can be seen that Lin Baicheng is optimistic about the land price at present and believes that it will continue to rise, so he is holding back and not selling it. This time, I hope his judgment is correct and the land price will continue to rise. , so that I can also make a fortune.”

Shen Porridge reminded: "One thing I want to remind you is that regarding the ownership of Xiangjiang's future, China and the country will definitely negotiate. At that time, the future of Xiangjiang is uncertain, and the land price will definitely be most directly affected. It's a pity that the specific time cannot be determined. Definitely, otherwise you can escape the top before the news ferments."

"In fact, people of insight know that negotiations will happen sooner or later, but as you said, you don't know when it will come. However, I think the negotiations will definitely not happen suddenly, there will be brewing, and we will have to wait and see Whose eyes are right."

Regarding Hong Kong's return negotiations, people from all walks of life in Xiangjiang actually have predictions. After all, the lease period of Xiangjiang is less than 20 years away, and Huaguo is suddenly opened to the outside world. The issue of Xiangjiang's return will naturally be discussed and action will be taken.

Once Huaguo and England start negotiations on the return of Xiangjiang, the future of Xiangjiang is uncertain. Coupled with Huaguo’s system problems, rich people will definitely worry about the prospects of Xiangjiang. At that time, many people will definitely choose to immigrate and leave Xiangjiang, and Xiangjiang’s economy will inevitably be affected. , among which real estate was the hardest hit.

The reason is very simple, rich people who are planning to immigrate to leave Xiangjiang will definitely exchange their assets in Xiangjiang for cash. Real estate must be one of them. A large number of real estate is for sale, and a large number of rich people who buy real estate are missing. , It's no wonder that house prices don't drop sharply.

Not everyone is Lin Baicheng. Lin Baicheng is a reborn person from the future, so he knows that Xiangjiang will definitely return, and the domestic economy will develop better and better in the future, so his position is very firm and he knows what to do.

But from the perspective of this era, England still has the name of the British Empire and is a world power. Although it is incomparable with the United States and the Soviet Union, it is much stronger than China.Huaguo has just reformed and opened up, and its economy is very poor. It can't be compared with Xiangjiang, let alone compared with England, the gap will only be bigger.

A country's economy is poor, and its military is naturally not much stronger. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, England is stronger and Huaguo is weaker. When it comes to negotiations on Xiangjiang's return, Huaguo may choose to compromise. It's still early.

It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that many people even think that the negotiations between Huaguo and Yinglun on the return of Xiangjiang will not cause too much trouble, and the high-level leaders of the two countries will directly reach an agreement, otherwise Xiangjiang’s current economy will not be upward, but in shock bingo.

Some wealthy people will not stay in Xiangjiang, but emigrate directly and run away.

"I believe in Li Sheng's ability."

Shen Congee said with a smile, this is not a test opportunity. If Li Jiacheng suffers heavy losses in this crisis, let alone the future. Make money on yourself.

As for the failure of Li Jiacheng's acquisition of the telephone company, it is a non-war crime, which is understandable.

"Thank you Taipan for your appreciation. I will not disappoint Taipan and HSBC."

Li Jiacheng smiled confidently. At this time, he could only be confident. No matter whether he had confidence in his heart or not, he had to show this attitude.

"Taipan, regarding the matter of real estate speculation, we will need the support of HSBC at that time. Since we are going to do it, we will make a big one. I plan to take the property I bought to HSBC for mortgage, and then continue to buy properties with a loan. "

"This kind of thing cannot be done many times, and there is a limit on the loan funds."

Shen Porridge understood Li Jiacheng's meaning as soon as he heard it. It was nothing more than buying a property and getting a bank loan for the property, and then using the funds obtained from the loan to continue buying the property, and then taking the property to the bank to obtain a loan to obtain funds to buy a new home. Property, and so on and on.

It's just that if this is the case, the risk is too great. Once the house price crashes, not only Li Jiacheng will suffer heavy losses, but even the bank will suffer huge losses.

"Thank you for your support!"

Li Jiacheng did not bargain, which did not surprise him.

This time, Li Jiacheng decided to take a little risk because he wanted to make more money.Lin Baicheng took the lead in several companies that he wanted to acquire, and he couldn't compete with Lin Baicheng. The fundamental reason was that Lin Baicheng was richer than him.

If this continues, the distance between Li Jiacheng and Lin Baicheng will only increase until he is crushed by Lin Baicheng. At that time, he may not even have the chance to resist.

Li Jiacheng didn't want to die like a frog boiled in warm water, so he had to take a risk and let his net worth grow explosively. Only in this way could he survive.
