Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 613 The Bayonet Sees Red!

Li Family Manor. Study!

On the sofa, Li Yi and Li Futao sat face to face. There was a purple sand teapot and two small teacups on the small coffee table between them.

At this time, the tea cup was steaming, and the whole room was filled with the strong fragrance of tea.

Li Yi took a sip of the top-quality Fuding white tea, and then asked: "Old Li, I've almost finished walking those ghost guys over there. How is the progress over there?"

"I'm making good progress here. While those ghost guys focused their attention on you, my people have successfully purchased 820 million shares of the New Territories Warehouse Center. The current shareholding rate has reached 8%! Li Futiao replied.

"The other party didn't notice it, right?"

"Probably not. I purchased it in small batches by dividing my accounts. They shouldn't notice it!" Li Fujian said.

"That's good, but the 8% of the shares is still a bit small. If we want to control the New Territories Warehouse Center, we need to get at least 51% of the shares!" Li Yi said.

"Well, because we operate more frequently here, the stock price of the New Territories Warehousing Center has risen a bit fast in the past two days. Before we entered the market, it was only 65 Hong Kong dollars per share, and now it has risen to 72, an increase of more than 10%! "

Then Li Futiao said again: "If we continue to buy large quantities of circulating stocks, not only will it be difficult to hide the target, but it may also cause the stock price of the New Territories Warehousing Center to rise sharply."

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter. The stock price of New Territories Rush Center is seriously undervalued now, and it doesn't matter if it goes up."

Li Yi knows the value of the New Territories Warehousing Center. This company, with a history of more than 70 years, has been the core industry of the Jardine Group for a long time. It was once known as the "Wings of Jardine" together with Wharf.

In the entire Jardine Matheson consortium, its head also serves as the board of directors of New Territories Warehouse, which shows the status of New Territories Warehousing Center in the Jardine Matheson family.

Under the leadership of the Jardine Matheson Group, although the New Territories has successively built famous properties such as the New Territories Pier and the Dadi Center Building, their management methods are not commendable.

They adhere to the concept of building and renting out properties as their main profit model, only renting and not selling.This has also resulted in slower return of funds, and the growth rate of rent is slower than the increase in land prices. Therefore, the company's profit performance is average, the stock price has been low, and the assets are seriously undervalued.

In addition, the British-owned Jardine faction has a grudge against the mainland and has always had a pessimistic attitude towards the future of Hong Kong Island, so that its sphere of influence on Hong Kong Island has gradually declined.

"Then what should we do next, launch an attack on them with great fanfare, or start slowly?" Li Futiao asked in a deep voice.

"I don't have that much time to fight with them. The current market value of the New Territories Warehousing Center is only about HK$70 billion. The funds in our hands, plus the funds of the He family and the Luo family, are close to HK$50 billion. This money is enough to win the New Territories. 51% of the shares in the warehouse!" Li Yi said.

"So you plan to attack by force?"

"No, it's a general attack!"

As soon as the words changed, Li Yi said again: "But before launching a general attack, I think we can contact those small shareholders, and it is best to acquire the scattered shares of the New Territories Warehousing Center from them!"

According to an early equity investigation, Li Yi discovered that the New Territories Warehousing Center chose to sell a large number of bonds to obtain cash in order to alleviate the company's financial crisis.

The result of this is that the group's debts are high, its credibility is reduced, and its stock value is devalued.

So far, Jardine Matheson only holds about 9% of New Territories shares, and 91% of the remaining 30% is in the stock market as tradable shares. The majority 61% is scattered in the hands of hundreds of shareholders, large and small.

Seriously undervalued stocks, huge room for revaluation, and relatively dispersed shareholdings all provide a good environment for Li Yi's acquisitions.

Li Futiao nodded immediately and said, "Leave this matter to me, and there will be news in three days at most!"

"can!"

"Old Li, don't go out alone. Let the He family and Luo family do their part. There is no such thing as sitting back and enjoying the gains!" Li Yi said.

"it is good!"

At this time, Li Futiao changed his voice and said again: "By the way, brother Li Yi, Xinghua sent back the latest news from New York this morning. He said that the international gold price has dropped to 545 US dollars, and we have made 8.5 million US dollars. ”

"However, the decline in gold prices has slowed down a lot in the past few days, especially in the past few days. It has only dropped one or two dollars a day. Does he want to ask for instructions to clear the position and close the net?"

Li Yi immediately said: "It's not yet time, just let them calm down and continue to stare!" "Brother Li Yi, what is the price in your mind, so that I can prepare them mentally!" Li Futiao road.

"Until the international gold price falls below 300 US dollars, we must not close the network!" Li Yi said firmly.

You must know that this is the only opportunity to operate gold in the next 20 years. If you miss this village, you will not have this store.

"hiss!"

After taking a breath of cold air, Li Futiao asked again: "Can the international gold price really fall below 300 US dollars?"

"Possible!"

"Okay, I know what to do!" Li Futiao said, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

He knew that the price of gold when Li Yi was shorting was around US$596.

Under five times financial leverage, for every dollar the price of gold fell, their profit was $1700 million.

If the international gold price really falls below US$300, then their profits will reach a terrifying US$50 billion, equivalent to nearly 400 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Even a big family like theirs, the Li family, does not have so much assets combined, and this is the wealth that several generations of the Li family have worked hard to accumulate over several lifetimes.

And Li Yi was able to transfer so much money with just one investment. Such amazing investment vision is indeed admirable.

This also made Li Futiao more determined to cooperate in depth with Li Yi!
In the next few days, in order to stabilize those in the British-owned group, Li Yi still took people to the stock market every day, and then waited for opportunities to attack various listed companies in the British-owned group.

Smith and others also concentrated on guarding Li Yi to the death, and the two sides set off rounds of fierce battles in the stock market.

Since both sides were well prepared, after several battles, the British group suffered little losses.

Although the attack by Li Yi and others did not cause too much damage to the British-owned group, it greatly restricted their attention.

Li Futiao's elite team took advantage of the situation and bought a large number of New Territories stocks from retail investors in the form of diversified accounts.

At the same time, Li Futiao, He Dongying, Luo Jindong and others came forward one after another, frequently met with Chinese shareholders in the New Territories Warehousing Center, and purchased the shares from some shareholders at high prices.

In just three days, they acquired nearly 2800 million shares from other shareholders.

At this point, Li Yi and others have controlled 36% of the shares of New Territory Warehouse, which is more than double the number of shares held by the largest shareholder Jardine Matheson.

Although 36% of the shares are already the major shareholders of the New Territories Warehousing Center, they have not yet completed the control. Therefore, Li Yi can only continue to ask Li Futiao and others to come forward to acquire the shares of the New Territories Warehousing Center.

But it is a pity that the people in the British Group have noticed the abnormality at this time.

Although Li Futiao tried his best to keep a low profile on the acquisition, the rapid rise in stock prices attracted the attention of retail investors and senior executives of the Jardine Matheson Group.

They quickly analyzed that someone was secretly snapping up shares in New Territories Warehouse.

After learning about the situation, Jardine Matheson was extremely nervous and immediately asked the British Group for help.

The senior management of the British-owned group did not dare to neglect. After the loss of the Wharf, the status of the New Territories warehousing center became particularly important.

If they are also acquired, they are likely to lose their shipping, warehousing and part of their real estate business.

In view of this, the gang of ghosts from the British Group immediately held a meeting again at the Castle Manor to discuss the matter.

After some discussion, they decided to fight back immediately. While stabilizing those large and small shareholders, they immediately raised the price and repurchased New Territories shares from the stock market to increase Jardine Matheson's shareholding ratio.

With the end of the British-owned group, the two sides, who had been fighting fiercely for nearly 10 days, finally saw their bayonets see red.
