I lost my vegetative state, and I became the richest man in the world

Chapter 783 Yang Ming officially swallowed Xiangjiang's third largest foreign guild, Defeng!

Wheelock & Co. headquarters.

Office of the Chairman.

John Stable has been looking out of the window sadly.

The annual profit of Wheelock & Co. fell from a peak of 1981 billion Hong Kong dollars in 15 to 1982 million Hong Kong dollars in 1, a difference of 14 billion Hong Kong dollars. Now, there are tens of millions of dollars in debt due to the shipping industry.

most important.

Now the Zhang family, the largest shareholder of Wheelock & Co., is no longer willing to cooperate with him.

At this moment, the 64-year-old John Ma Deng suddenly felt very tired, and suddenly had a feeling of retreat.

In 1976, he once wanted to sell all the shares of Wheelock, but at that time, Xiangjiang's real estate suddenly improved again, and he was reluctant to sell it until now.

If the Zhang family still supported him as before, he might want to keep doing it. Now that he is old, he mainly develops the shipping industry and has lost so much money. The shipping industry has not developed at all, and Xiangjiang's real estate is in crisis again.

Now Wheelock's main business is the real estate industry and the shipping industry, but it has been completely dragged to death by these two industries.

Now Wheelock's stock has fallen to more than three yuan, which he never imagined.

"Dong dong!"

There was a knock on the door.

When John Maseng went to open the door, he found that it was his female secretary who came to see him with someone he could never imagine.

"Chairman, Mr. Merris wants to see you."

Merris?
Of course, John Ma Ben knew that the current No. [-] figure in the Imperial Group was a really powerful person.

"Mr. Merris, are you coming?"

"Mr. Ma Ben, I have something very important to tell you."

Come in at Meris.

The female secretary went out and closed the door.

Merris knew that John Maseng and his father, George Maseng, were not true Anglo-Saxons. He, like the Kadoorie father and son of the Kadoorie family, belonged to British Jews.

In other words, after all, the other party is actually a Jew.

Because it is a British nationality, Wheelock & Co. is counted as one of the four major foreign firms in Xiangjiang.

"Mr. Merris, I don't know what you want to say?"

"Mr. Ma Ben, I'm here for Wheelock shares this time. Now the Zhang family has agreed to sell all Wheelock shares to the Imperial Group."

For Wheelock?

John Maseng was a little shocked.

It quickly felt normal again.

It was under his witness that Sir Yang of the Empire Group started a series of acquisitions, successively acquiring Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, and even Jardine Land.

Especially when the Imperial Group acquired Hutchison Whampoa from Huifeng Bank and Shen Yan, he still saw Sir Yang with his own eyes.

At that time, he felt that Sir Yang was not an easy person.

Especially when looking into his eyes.

Now it's time to take action against Wheelock.

If it was before 1981, it would be impossible for John Maseng to sell Wheelock to anyone, including Sir Yang and the Imperial Group.

Now he did not expect that Wheelock, in his hands, had fallen to this level.

"The Zhang family has already sold the shares to you?" John Ma Ben asked.

"Yes, Sir Yang has personally gone to see Mr. Zhang Yuliang."

"Then why didn't Sir Yang come to see me?"

John Horse Stool laughed.

Back then, Yang Ming still greeted him with respect.However, when Yang Ming swallowed Hutchison Whampoa, he began to make John Maseng wary.

"Mr. Ma Ben, it's like this. My boss said that it would be easier for him to meet Mr. Zhang Yuliang if he is Chinese. We are all white, so let me come to see you."

John Maseng nodded.

For Sir Yang's series of acquisitions over the years, John Matou also praised Sir Yang very much. He felt that Sir Yang was better at doing business than Jews.

"Mr. Merris, I don't know how much money you want to pay for my shares?"

Now that the Zhang family has agreed to sell the shares of Wheelock to the Imperial Group, it means that the Imperial Group must have swallowed Wheelock.

This is something no one can do at all!
In that case, why did he deliberately make things difficult for Sir Yang and the Imperial Group, and cause unnecessary trouble for himself.

"Mr. Ma Seng, regarding the stock price of Wheelock & Co., we are willing to offer 5.5 Hong Kong dollars per share for A shares and 0.55 Hong Kong dollars per share for B shares. If you think it is not high, I can make the decision to raise the stock price to 6.0 Hong Kong dollars per share for A shares and 0.6 Hong Kong dollars for B shares. [-] Hong Kong dollars per share."

5.5 Hong Kong dollars per share?

Judging from the fact that Wheelock shares have fallen to 3.3 Hong Kong dollars per share, the purchase price offered by the Empire Group is already not low.

If Imperial Group buys in the secondary market, there will definitely be a large number of investors who will sell Wheelock's shares to Imperial Group.

"Mr. Merris, then sell it to the Imperial Group at 5.5 Hong Kong dollars per share of Wheelock's A shares."

Merris was not surprised.

This time is indeed the best opportunity to acquire Wheelock & Co.

Now not only the Zhang family is going to sell, but John Horse Stool is also going to be sold.

When John Maseng agreed to sell the shares of Wheelock to the Imperial Group and Sir Yang, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, Wheelock & Co., unlike Chen Songqing's Carrian Group, is now in a mess. In addition to debts, there are many series of problems.

John Maseng sold Wheelock to the Imperial Group, so he doesn't have to worry about those things anymore, but can get a higher stock price than the current one, and he is already very satisfied.

"Mr. Merris, I wish Sir Yang good luck."

John Stable said.

"Thank you."

. . .

Meris returned to the Imperial Group, and he found that the boss had returned.

Over there in the chairman's office.

"Boss, I didn't expect that John Maseng would sell us the shares of Wheelock so easily." Meris asked in disbelief.

This is the third largest company in Xiangjiang, Wheelock & Co., not any other ordinary company!

But, that's how it is now.

"Mai Lisi, Zhang Yuliang also agreed to sell us the shares."

Yang Ming felt that it might have a lot to do with Xiangjiang's real estate crisis, stock market crisis, and even Xiangjiang's economic environment.

"Boss, congratulations, you once again swallowed a large Xiangjiang Group."

Meris was also very excited.

Lin Xiuzhi on the side was stunned.

She didn't expect that the boss swallowed up the third largest foreign company in Xiangjiang, Defeng foreign company, so quickly.

. . .

1983 2 Month 9 Day.

The 27th of the twelfth lunar month.

Wednesday.

On behalf of the Imperial Group and the Zhang family, John Maseng and John Maseng respectively signed contracts to acquire all of their shares in Wheelock.

The A shares of Wheelock & Co. were purchased at HK$5.5 per share, and the B shares were purchased at HK$0.55 per share.

Among them, the John Maseng family has 2103.5 million Wheelock A shares, accounting for 6.7%, and 5354.9 million Wheelock B shares, accounting for 22.7%.

All add up to an effective control of 13.5%.

The Zhang family has 1385.5 million Wheelock A shares, accounting for 4.4%, and 1.15 million Wheelock B shares, accounting for 48.9%.

All add up to an effective controlling stake of 23.5%.

Now Zhangjia and John Maseng have a combined effective controlling stake of 37%.However, before that, Yang Ming had asked people to buy the stocks, and the effective controlling stake was about 8%.

Calculated, the effective controlling stake of Empire Group and Yang Ming in Wheelock & Co. is already 45%.

Less than 49%.

In fact, no one can compare with the Imperial Group.

Now, as long as the Empire Group buys some stocks from the secondary market, and the effective controlling stake reaches more than 49%, it has completely controlled Wheelock & Co. Ltd.
