Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 181 After the Event
Tsim Sha Tsui, Miramar Hotel.

Zhao Wenmu and his party moved out of Rong's villa and moved into this first high-end hotel run by Xiangjiang people.

At the moment, it is owned by the Lee Shau Kee family.

The Rong family's struggle for control of Wharf, and Li Chaoren's smuggling of Hutchison Whampoa are not things that can be resolved in ten days and a half months.

These two battles are still in the brewing stage at the moment.

And Zhao Wenmu is enjoying the gentle sea breeze of Hong Kong Island and the company of his wife and daughter.

The time for this trip is not short. Considering that they still need to sort out materials and write papers, the two students, Zhao Wenqiu and Zheng Xiaowen, plan to return to the mainland in a few days.

Because Zhao Wenmu and Zhao Jing were attacked in the middle of the night, they stayed in Rong's villa most of the time these days, and there were not many opportunities to go out to play.

So for the past few days, Zhao Wenmu accompanied a group of little beauties wandering the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang and the wide ocean.

A group of people saw the modern city of Victoria Harbour, the beautiful scenery of Victoria Peak and Repulse Bay, experienced the Ding Ding car, the Star Ferry, stopped and lingered at the already famous Avenue of Stars, Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok, Happy Valley, Bo Lan street
They stayed in almost every famous place in Xiangjiang.

Even a place with such a reputation as the Kowloon Walled City has once stood on a high ground and watched it from afar.

In fact, Zhao Wenqiu had the intention to investigate on the spot, but was met with a merciless double attack from Zhao Wenmu and Zhao Jing.

Ever since the little girl tentatively uttered this idea, Zhao Jing took her seriously and kept her in sight at all times.

"Third brother, where are we going tomorrow?"

In comparison, the little girl Rong Xinyi is much more honest.

She only cares about eating, drinking and having fun, and doesn't want to sketch and investigate in places full of crimes.

The Rong family arranged a strong enough security force to protect them, but the Rong brothers and sisters did not accompany them to play.

Rong Zhenbang wants to help his father deal with the matter of Wharf.

Rong Zhenyi has to prepare for her prize sales and honey citron tea.

By the way, she signed an agreement with Zhao Jing that 1% of the honey grapefruit tea's turnover will be paid to Zhao Jing as a patent fee, valid for ten years.

She has submitted the patent application for this tea to the Intellectual Property Office.

"Go to Macau tomorrow."

"It's all here, of course I have to take a look."

Zhao Wenmu said with a smile.

From Xiangjiang to Macau, no special procedures are required, just buy a ferry ticket for money.

While everyone here was enjoying the Xiangjiang River, the Rong family and his son were making intensive arrangements for the acquisition of Wharf.

Li Chaoren simply and neatly sold nearly 2000 million Wharf shares to the Rong family at a price of 40 Hong Kong dollars per share.

At present, the share price of Wharf is about 50 Hong Kong dollars.

Even so, Li Chaoren's profit from this transaction exceeded 4 million Hong Kong dollars.

And he wasn't worried that the Rong family would go back on their word, and wouldn't help him win Hutchison after getting the benefits.

Rong Renyi is not such a person. No one in the business world knows that this boss believes that no one can stand without trust.

What's more, the Rong family not only needs the 2000 million shares, but also Li Chaoren's verbal support.

After getting the equity, Rong Renyi immediately had a showdown with Niu Bijian.

Seeing that the general situation was over, the other party did not struggle too much, but directly offered 75 yuan, asking Rong Renyi to buy the shares of Wharf held by Hongkong Land.

Otherwise, it will be a dead end. Hongkong Land will exchange the shares of the company for the shares of Wharf in the hands of retail investors at a price of 75 yuan per share.

As soon as Rong Ren wanted to grab Wharf, he had to buy Wharf shares at a price higher than 75 Hong Kong dollars.

This is how it developed in previous lives.

As soon as Rongren got 20% of the shares, he immediately had a showdown with Hongkong Land and demanded a seat on the board of Wharf.

According to the Hong Kong Company Law, a company with a shareholding ratio of more than 16% can obtain a seat on the board of directors.

As soon as Rong Ren entered the board of directors, Niu Bijian immediately launched a counterattack.

When Rong Ren went to Europe for a meeting, he suddenly announced that he would replace the stocks in the hands of retail investors at a price of 75 Hong Kong dollars per share.

But he didn't expect that Rong Ren was prepared early in the morning.

At the same time that Hongkong Land proposed a stock replacement plan, Rong Zhenbang immediately proposed a plan to buy stocks at 105 yuan per share in cash.

This scheme is obviously more attractive to retail investors.

As a result, the Rong family bought the most stocks in less than an hour after the market opened on Monday.

Afterwards, the Rong family bought the shares held by Hongkong Land and Li Chaoren at a price of 105 Hong Kong dollars, and finally increased their shareholding ratio to 80%.

Realized the absolute holding of Wharf and successfully privatized it.

The Rong family achieved their goal of winning Wharf, but at an extremely heavy price.

Almost all available funds were invested in it.

So people said at that time that "the ship king loses and wins, and lands with a smile and cuts his wrists."

For a long time after that, the ship king had to be careful and walk on thin ice to prevent someone from taking advantage of the fire.

But this time, the situation is completely different.

The average cost of the Rong family eating Wharf is only about 50 Hong Kong dollars, which is a full half lower than before!
This time, Rong Renyi retained enough liquidity to meet any challenge.

When you are strong enough, you can shock all Xiaoxiao, and all enemies will disappear at this time.

"Ah Mu is really a nobleman of the Rong family!"

On the day when the acquisition was completed, Rong Renyi sighed with a cigar in the most private study room of the Rong family after the banquet where the big bosses gathered.

Zhao Wenmu has made great contributions to winning Wharf so quickly and at a low cost!
Of course, Rong Renyi conveyed these words to Zhao Wenmu who was already in the mainland at that time.

Li Chaoren's side is also progressing smoothly.

Rong Renyi successfully persuaded Shen Bi to sell Hehuang to Li Chaoren.

In fact, regardless of Rong Renyi's face, Shen Bi himself was very willing to separate Hutchison from HSBC.

Shen Bi is cautious about the future economic prospects, and is more inclined to deepen the main business of HSBC's business strategy, that is, the financial business.

Therefore, he has always wanted to sell Huangpu's port and real estate business.

Over the years, Hutchison and HSBC have never been able to form a joint force in the financial business. Not only did it not have the effect of 1+1>2, but it produced a lot of invalid competition and internal friction.

It is not a small waste of the overall resources of the group.

Therefore, separating Hutchison from the group is an idea he has already begun to consider.

When you doze off, someone comes to deliver a pillow.

And it happened to be the Rong family with whom he wanted to ease the relationship.

Naturally, Shen Bi stepped down the donkey, pretending to sell Rongren's favor, and agreed to sell Hehuang to Li Chaoren.

Not only that, he also gave very generous conditions.

Quite a bit of Pittman supported Rong Ren's desperate gamble back then.

Of course, HSBC under the leadership of Pittman has unconditionally supported the career development of the Rong family, and it can be said that it is a good story to go to each other and achieve mutual success.

Now, Shen Bi seems to regard Li Chaoren as his Rong Renyi.
