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

"What, you acquired another 12% of the shares of Wharf Company?"

"Yes, boss. According to our preliminary investigation results, Mr. Yang should only hold 3% of the shares, but he did not expect that his shareholding ratio was as high as 12%, and the other party was also willing to transfer all the shares to It’s really an unexpected surprise for us.”

Just when his subordinates were proudly reporting their achievements to Sangchai, they didn't notice that Sangchai's face was getting more and more ugly.

This team was sent out in the morning with the purpose of contacting the small shareholders of Wharf Company and acquiring all the small number of shares in their hands.

After all, before the market opened, they did not expect that Li Yi and those from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce would unexpectedly give up their resistance. In order to ensure that they could successfully gain control of the core companies, they sent out a total of 12 acquisition teams like this.

If they had been able to acquire so many shares of Wharf Company a few days ago, Sangchai and others would have been very happy.

But Sangchai was not happy at all at this time. The reason was that today they acquired 18% of Wharf's shares at one time just by relying on the stock market. Together with the previous acquisitions, they had exceeded the holding ratio.

If these 12% of shares are included, their shareholding ratio is already as high as 72%, far exceeding the 51% required for control.

On the other hand, excluding the shares held by retail investors and securities firms, the shareholding ratio of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is pitifully small, perhaps less than 10%.

This gave Sangchai a vague premonition in his heart.
Suddenly, Sang guessed that there were more than ten other groups. If they all successfully obtained large shares like the group in front of him, things would be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Sanchai hurriedly said loudly: "Sanchez, contact Basang and Udan immediately and stop acquiring shares in any Chinese companies, quickly!"

Although Sanchez didn't understand why his brother and immediate boss suddenly issued such an order, he still hurried out and contacted those groups.

Watching Sanchez's leaving back, Sanchai secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that it would be enough time.
Others in the room who were still celebrating "victory" fell silent when they saw the solemn expression on Sangchai's face, and everyone looked at Sangchai.

"Mr. Sanchai, what happened? Why do you look so ugly?" Monroe asked with a puzzled look.

After a moment of silence, Sangchai said in a low tone: "Something is wrong. Maybe we have been fooled!"

Fooled?

Hearing this, Monroe, Michiko and others were stunned. Weren't they fine just now? How could they be suddenly fooled?
"Mr. Sangchai, what do you mean by this? What have we been fooled by?" Michiko asked hurriedly.

"Our current shareholding ratio is too high. This is not normal!" Sang guessed.

"Isn't it good to have a high shareholding ratio? Wouldn't it be easier for us to control those companies?" Michiko said.

"No, our main purpose of acquiring the shares of these companies is not for those companies, but to use these companies to force the Chinese business elites behind them to withdraw from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and sever ties with Li Yi!"

Then Sangchai continued: "But if those people sell all their shares, we will lose the capital to control them. As a result, these companies will not only be meaningless to us, but even Become our burden and weakness!"

Monroe and others are not fools. The one who can be sent to perform such a task is not a human being.

After thinking about it carefully, they came to their senses.

Yes, they invested a huge amount of more than 460 billion Hong Kong dollars just to achieve the political goal of dismantling the Chinese Chamber of Commerce by controlling these Chinese companies.

However, now that these Chinese businessmen have sold all their shares to them, the weakness of the Chinese businessmen has disappeared.

On the contrary, after they became the major shareholders of these companies, the rise and fall of the stock prices of those companies were directly related to their own interests. The capital that originally controlled the Chinese businessmen instantly became their weakness.

At the same time, there is a more serious problem. If those Chinese businessmen, as the founders or chairman of the company, expose some bad things at this time, the stock price will inevitably plummet. Judging from the current bubble-like stock price, once this happens, the consequences will be catastrophic.

"Mr. Sangchai, are you worried that those Chinese businessmen will smash the market?" Monroe said with a trembling tone.

"It's not a worry. If this is set up by Li Yi, they will definitely do this. And only by doing this can they regain control of the company!" Sangchai said in a low tone.

"This is troublesome. Once the other party crashes the market, our losses may be beyond imagination."

Before Munro could finish, he heard Sangchai say hurriedly: "Let the trader sell some of the shares immediately. We have to get rid of it as soon as possible before the stock price plummets."

However, before he finished speaking, they saw the door of the VIP room being pushed open, and then everyone saw Sanchez running in with an embarrassed expression.

"It's over. It's over. The stock price has plummeted!"

When Sanchez saw this, he immediately said angrily: "Sanchez, what happened? Why did the stock price suddenly drop?"

Sanchez trembled all over when Sanchai yelled at him.

He stood there for a moment and then immediately replied: "Just now, Li Yi brought the He family, Bao family, Li family and other Chinese businessmen to the trading floor, publicly bowed and apologized to all investors, and announced that because of our In a hostile takeover, they have already liquidated their shares in the company. From now on, they will withdraw from Wharf, Hongniao Real Estate, Longheng Bank, Hang Seng Bank and other companies. At the same time, they will also withdraw from the shares of major families in these companies. Managers, once the news came out, the stock prices of these companies suddenly plummeted and they couldn't stop it."

After hearing Sanchez's answer, everyone who had cheered just now turned pale, whiter than the dead people who had been parked in the morgue for three years.

Although they may not necessarily know that one of Hua's thirty-six strategies is to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron, they know the purpose of Li Yi and others' doing so, which is to destroy the market.

Moreover, they also know how serious the consequences of doing so are. A stock price crash is sometimes more terrifying than an avalanche.
"Mr. Sanchai, what should we do now? Can you think of a solution quickly?" Monroe said in a panic.

This time, in order to encircle and suppress Li Yi and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, their company not only took out all their cash flow, but also borrowed US$30 billion from the bank. If this investment fails, their company will surely fall into an unprecedented financial crisis.

Michiko is also as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Although their company is stronger than Monroe's company, the investment this time is also more funds, a full 80 billion US dollars.

Once this capital suffers a huge loss, the blow to their company will be fatal.

Sangchai was also at a loss at this time. He had realized that he had fallen into the trap carefully woven by Li Yi, and he was filled with regret.

He hated himself for being too arrogant, and also hated that the man named Li was too cunning.

He thought that Li Yi would not easily give up the controlling rights of those companies even for political considerations, but he did not expect that not only did they give up the controlling rights, but they even sold the company to them.

Now that the other party is aggressively smashing the market, and they don't have enough funds to protect the market, losses are inevitable.

After the stock price plummets, if the other party takes the opportunity to buy at a low price, the company's controlling rights may return to the other party's hands.

Between this in and out, the other party will not only lose nothing, but will make a lot of money.

On the contrary, not only did they fail to complete the political tasks assigned by London, but they also lost their pants.

Sangchai suddenly felt thunder rolling from the sky, he was doomed. No, it was all these major consortiums that were doomed.
