Rebirth of the great hero of Hong Kong

The charter king's counterattack is very simple and clear. Didn't you Jardine increase the price to buy back?
it is good!
Then I also engage in price increase repurchases for global shipping!

Isn't your Jardine the total price of 100 yuan?Then I will travel around the world for only [-] yuan, and I don't want your Jardine shares.

Business competition has directly turned into a battle of spirits among children.

The two sides struggled for nearly two weeks, and the stock price of Wharf reached an auspicious figure of 88 yuan.

The spectators who were waiting for the price did not miss the opportunity and released all the stocks in their hands.

Lin Huaile alone made a profit of more than 3 million yuan, and even repaid the loan from HSBC this year.

What an unexpected surprise!
Jardine wanted to acquire a 40.00% stake in Wharf, but the market's response was very lukewarm. After all, the price offered by the charter king was four yuan higher.

Ximen has always been a person who is good at thinking. Since the first goal cannot be achieved, then the second goal should be completed.

So Jardine sold the stocks in his hands little by little through various channels.

The charter king was determined to take over Wharf. He was not frightened by the huge amount of stocks. Instead, he chose to raise funds from various parties and planned to take all the stocks released by Jardine.

In just one day, the charter king and his two sons-in-law raised nearly 30 billion Hong Kong dollars and bought a large amount of stocks without hesitation.

This is a contest of willpower.

Whether it is Jardine or the charter king, they have all come up with staggering cash reserves.

Jardine is going to the shameless to the end, announced to the public that it will increase the purchase price to [-] yuan, and is going to see the reaction of the charter king.

The pressure came to the charter king, but the old man had seen many such tricks after traveling in the sea for many years, so he raised the purchase price of Wharf to [-] yuan.

Jardine couldn't hold it anymore, and Ximen met with the charter king on the night when Global Shipping raised the purchase price.

Because the chances of winning were not high, the negotiations between the two parties proceeded quickly. Five days later, Global Shipping publicly stated that it had fully controlled Wharf.

In this contest, the charter king can only be regarded as a miserable victory. On the day the successful acquisition was announced, the book shrinkage reached more than 6 million, and the annual loan interest paid was as high as 5000 million.

Jardine Harmony is the beneficiary this time, with a cash profit of 2000 million. They also divided some ports and containers in advance.

As well as Xiangjiang, Singapore's air containers, as well as two pieces of land in Causeway Bay, and three wharf yards.

The most important thing is to transfer all the shares of Heung Kong Land in the hands of Wharf to the members of the board of directors of Jardine.

Even so, there are many industries in Wharf, including Wharf Transportation Co., Ltd., Star Ferry Co., Ltd., and Kowloon Communications Co., Ltd.

Hong Kong Limited Television Co., Ltd., Hong Kong Tramway Co., Ltd., Hong Kong Limited Satellite Television Co., Ltd., Sunshine Films Co., Ltd.

Lane Crawford Department Store, Times Square, Marco Polo Hotel Group (the seven largest hotel chain brands in the world), Pacific Place, containers at the terminal in Mindanao, Philippines.

The charter king also relied on these industries to become the top tycoon in Xiangjiang.

After Wharf, it was Superman who began to attack Hutchison Whampoa. With Lin Huaile and Zhuyu, the charter king, in front, Superman finally showed his butcher knife.

Hutchison Whampoa is the second largest foreign company with British capital, with an asset valuation of 65 billion Hong Kong dollars. In fact, it is the second, which is a bit worthy of the name.

After all, Swire Pacific, just like a greedy beast, has been lying in Xiangjiang, ready to swallow the enemy and colleagues.

Furthermore, Hutchison Whampoa is mainly composed of two parts, one is Hutchison & Co., and the other is Whampoa Dockyard.

Hutchison has always been in the cotton and linen business, import and export trade of Indian cotton, British cotton and wool fabrics, Chinese tea, etc., and retail business in Hong Kong.

This is the business scope of the East India Company, or in other words, Hutchison is the cotton, linen and tea department of the East India Company.

Captain Lin Meng established the Huangpu Dockyard, which together with the Taigu Dockyard and the Navy Dockyard is known as the three major dockyards in Xiangjiang, and has the ability to repair and build [-]-ton ships.

In addition, Huangpu Shipyard also operates terminal storage business.

Later, Hutchison & Co., which was reorganized several times, fell into the hands of the Qi Dezun family.

The family, together with the Jardines Keswick family, the Swire Swire family, and the Wheelock and Marden family, are listed as the four British-invested families in Hong Kong.

Qi Dezun is full of ambitions and wants to become the second in Yihe.Taking advantage of the booming stock market, he launched a series of dazzling acquisitions.

Putting large companies such as Huangpu Dockyard, Junyi Warehouse, and Watsons under its banner, as well as many small unlisted companies, the limelight is the same for a while.

Qi Dezun had a good appetite, but his digestion ability was too poor. These well-known companies were in poor operating conditions at the time, so they were forced to accept loans from HSBC in desperation.

Hutchison Whampoa has been separated several times. Even Wade, who has the nickname of a business doctor, served as the top class, but Hutchison Whampoa's loss situation has not been reversed.

In fact, this is the shrewdness of Superman. Wharf is a piece of meat and bones, while Hutchison Whampoa is a piece of fat.

Because Wharf belongs to the Jardine family of family companies, the Keswick family and their agents will definitely fight back with an eye for an eye, and make a desperate fight against the acquisition. The Pao's acquisition of Wharf will cost a lot.

The fact is also the same. After the charter king took over Wharf, his vitality was seriously injured, and he delayed for five or six years before starting new development.

And Hutchison Whampoa is a public company, and no one will desperately protect it.

Little Superman finally couldn't bear it any longer. In the conference room of Changshi Company, he announced his acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa.

His bid was fairly fair. At a price of 20.00 yuan, he bought 9000% of [-] shares held by HSBC Bank, a total of [-] million common shares.

One day after the press conference, Hutchison stock became a hot topic for a while.

The small market drove the big market. The Hang Seng Index soared by about 26 points that day, with a turnover of more than 4 million yuan, which shows the trust of stockholders in Superman.

Of course, Lin Huaile would not let go of this opportunity. Haiwan Financial also issued an announcement announcing that it would acquire Hutchison Whampoa shares at a price of [-] yuan per share.

Little Superman knew that Young Master Le was not just for fun, so he flew to Singapore to meet Young Master Le, and the two parties reached a consensus to buy Hutchison Whampoa together.

With the addition of Haiwan Group, Little Superman continued to absorb Hutchison Whampoa shares in the market. By November of the end of the year, the shareholding in Hutchison Whampoa owned by the two parties had increased to 39, and the controlling stake was already very solid.

During this period, Huang Daban and Wei Li did not take any action, not even the desire to organize an anti-acquisition.

On January [-] of the following year, Hutchison Whampoa officially announced that Little Superman became the chairman of the board of Hutchison Whampoa, and became the first Chinese executive in Hong Kong to join a British foreign company.

(Lin Huaile is in charge of electric lamps, and Chartered Ship King is in charge of Wharf. The two companies are not independent foreign firms, but subsidiaries.)
The British "Times" published its views on the Hong Kong business community because of Superman's entry into Hutchison Whampoa.

The article stated that in the past two years, there have been Chinese consortiums represented by semiconductor tycoon Lin Huaile, shipping tycoon charter king and real estate tycoon Little Superman.

In the major mergers and reorganizations of Xiangjiang's business community, they scored repeatedly, which made Xiangjiang's British-funded companies feel nervous.

As we all know, Xiangjiang is a British colony. However, the vast majority of Xiangjiang's population is still Chinese, and the British who control the political power and the lifeline of the economy are ethnic minorities.

Since World War II, especially in the 70s and [-]s, the economic power of the Chinese has grown rapidly.

With the backing of a powerful China, these upstart Chinese businessmen are even more powerful, so they dare to openly compete with British businessmen in the mall.

This made the British businessmen in Hong Kong extremely uneasy.

Even the major shareholder of the world-renowned Jardine Consortium, Taipan, feels like stepping into a minefield.

British businessmen are all lamenting the changes in the world. At the same time, they have to admit that Chinese businessmen such as Lin Huaile, Chartered Ship King, and Little Superman can be compared with outstanding members of the British business community.

In February [-], the Electric Lamp Company, China Power Corporation, and the Ministry of Inland Electricity formally signed a contract to jointly build the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant.

In March of the same year, the electric light company formally signed a contract with China Power Corporation, and the two companies merged into Asia Power Company.

The merger of the two listed energy companies ushered in a dominance in the Xiangjiang power market, but because there were several small power companies, it did not violate the Trust Act.

After the merger of the two companies, they announced that they would start to renovate the entire Xiangjiang circuit system. This is considered a great thing, and the stock price of Asia Power continued to rise.

In May, Lin Huaile finally ushered in his big wedding. Shangri-La, Singapore let him take it all down, and all the celebrities and tycoons from Xiangjiang were present.

In fact, the two had completed the legal procedures before they got engaged, and they were legal couples, but there is no woman who does not like dreamy weddings.

This century-old wedding, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars, was broadcast by multiple media around the world. The New York Times even rated it as the first private wedding in Asia.

In January [-], Lin Huaile's eldest son was born and named Lin An. In the same year, Polaris split its two major departments into two companies, Polaris Communications and Polaris Technology.

The two companies will ring the bell on Nasdaq together, and the market maker is HSBC, which has successfully entered the North American market.

Lin Huaile became the first Chinese to ring the bell on NASDAQ. As soon as Polaris Communications and Polaris Technology went public, they became the number one technology semiconductor company in Asia and the third in the world.

Polaris Communications released three portable phones in the same year, one for high, one for high, one for low and one for low, covering all consumers.

At the same time, the latest invention of SMS was announced, which made the single telephone communication more diversified.

On January 2023, 63, [-]-year-old Lin Huaile took Xie Lan's hand and came to the Xingheque Hall.

The richest man in Asia, a world tycoon, and a Spanish baron, these symbols have hung on him for many years.

The sparrow house was still lively, he sat on the chair at the door, recalling the days when he and Chang Mao ate roast goose rice, Situ Haonan cleaned with a broom, and Liu Jian delivered soft drinks to the guests
Looking back in 40 years, the old country is full of new sorrows. If you want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and carry wine with you, it will not be the same in the end. You are young.
