Rise up Hong Kong!Build a super wealthy Zhuang family

Chapter 111 Zhuang Rongxu unleashes another big move
three days later.

In the lobby of the Hutchison Whampoa headquarters building.

Dozens of reporters and some people who received the news gathered here.

One day ago, Hutchison Whampoa issued a news that it would hold an acquisition press conference here. Although the content was not announced, Hutchison is relatively mysterious now, which of course attracted many reporters and others.

Among the people at the scene were the spies of Li Chaoren and HSBC, as well as the spies of Bao Yugang and other big guys who came to the scene, just wanting to know what tricks Hutchison was up to.

So far, no one in Xiangjiang knows who Hutchison Whampoa was acquired, and where the big boss behind the scenes comes from.

Hutchison Whampoa has not announced it.

It is still in the process of consolidation, and some of Hutchison's properties have also been sold in large quantities. In short, Hutchison's recent actions are not small, and people have always been paying attention. Now holding a press conference is certainly attractive.

The person who paid the most attention was Li Chaoren.

Hutchison Whampoa has become his inner demon, and he also agrees with the saying that things or love or people that cannot be obtained are always the best.

Li Chaoren is no exception to Hutchison.

The time soon came to 9 o'clock in the morning.

Que Qi led the others onto the podium with great momentum.

"Thank you to all the media and everyone present for attending the press conference held by Hutchison Whampoa."

"I am the general manager of Hutchison Whampoa, and my name is Meng Lina. Today I will release three contents on behalf of the board of directors of Hutchison Whampoa, followed by a question and answer session."

"First: Hutchison Whampoa purchased Tai Pak Seafood Restaurant in Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong with a one-time payment of HK$2 million. The transaction has been successful."

"In the next three months, Hutchison Whampoa will invest tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars to renovate the seafood restaurant and build the first unique maritime seafood restaurant in Hong Kong with Chinese and European style designs. We hope that the citizens of Hong Kong can support us in the future."

"Second: At present, Hutchison Whampoa has almost integrated. It is now announced that Hutchison Whampoa has applied for the group to change the company's registered name, and it will be changed to (Shengshi International Group Co., Ltd.)."

"Third: Hutchison Whampoa will apply for resumption of listing in the short term. After the application, we will notify you separately of when we can publicly recruit shareholders, advance subscription of shares, listing shares, and listing price."

"Thank you everyone, that's all what Hutchison announced today, let's get into the questions and answers session." Que Qiqi announced a series of things very calmly.

Everyone present, except reporters, heard that Hutchison Whampoa was going to be relisted and would openly recruit new shareholders. This news immediately aroused excitement among everyone present.

Many people immediately left the scene and looked for phone numbers to report the matter to their bosses.

In the office of Li Chaoren of the Yangtze River Industrial Group.

"Ring Ling Ling!!!"

"Hello, I'm Li Chaoren."

"Hello, Chairman, I am Huo Jianning. The person in charge of Hutchison Whampoa said at the press conference that it will resume listing in the near future and will also openly recruit new shareholders." The person who contacted Li Chaoren was none other than Huo Jianning, the future famous working emperor.

He is not very famous now.

He had just returned from further studies abroad, and he was not yet Li Chaoren's absolute confidant, just an admirer.

"Are you sure that's what the person in charge of Hutchison Whampoa said?" Li Chaoren on the other end of the phone also confirmed excitedly.

"Yes, I'm sure."

"OK, keep listening. If you have any news, let me know immediately." Li Chaoren ordered.

At the same time, on the side of Shen Bi, the senior manager of HSBC Bank.

"Ring ring ring!!!" His phone also arrived.

"Hello, I'm Shen Bi."

"Boss, this is Bitley. Meng Lina, the person in charge of Hutchison Whampoa, announced that Hutchison will resume listing in the short term and will publicly recruit new shareholders at that time."

"OMG, are you sure she meant a public recruitment of new shareholders, rather than a public pledge of funds?" Shen Bi on the other side of the phone was as surprised as Li Chaoren.

After all, large groups, especially those like Hutchison Whampoa, which was formerly one of the foreign banks, will attract a large number of people's attention even if they are delisted and relisted. Under normal circumstances, they will privately find trustworthy people to raise funds and become shareholders.

I will definitely not choose open recruitment.

Now that Hutchison has announced it, many people will definitely compete for these spots.

This also makes Shen Bi, the senior manager of HSBC Bank, seem to see hope that he can have a chance to get Hutchison back again. His idea is almost the same as that of Li Chaoren.

"OK, I get it. Keep asking. If there's anything important, contact me right away."

"Yes. Boss."

In addition, the same situation happened to Jardine Matheson, Swire & Co., and Wheelock & Co. almost at the same time, and their people immediately passed back the news of the Hutchison Whampoa press conference.

In the office of the general manager of Jardine Group.

"What the hell is Hutchison doing? It chooses to openly recruit new shareholders. It seems that they are outsiders." General Manager Niubijian smiled.

On the Swire Group side.

"Boss, now I can be sure that the boss behind Hutchison Whampoa is definitely not from Xiangjiang, otherwise they would not take this approach."

"Yes, prepare and make arrangements. If possible, win over all the shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa. Then through acquisition in the market, maybe Hutchison Whampoa will belong to us."

Same here at Wheelock.Almost everyone who heard the news had the same idea. Public recruitment of new shareholders was generally only done by outsiders.

Because they have no trustworthy partners here, they can only recruit new shareholders to go public in this way.But this method can easily make the group change hands.

After the group is listed, the majority shareholder's equity must not exceed 49%. This is stipulated in the Hong Kong Listing Law, otherwise it will be impossible to list.

Therefore, 51% of the shares are owned by outsiders. If there is a deliberate plan, the company will probably change ownership as soon as it is listed. So now Hutchison Whampoa has announced the public recruitment of new shareholders.

Many people are already ready to move.

At this time in Hutchison Hall, Que Qi was still responding to reporters’ questions.

Reporter: "Ms. Meng Lina, who is the boss behind you and where are you from?"

"Everyone will know about this issue soon. It is not the time to announce it yet."

Reporter: "Ms. Meng Lina, I would like to know why you choose to publicly recruit new shareholders to join?"

"This issue was authorized by the chairman himself. As for the real reason, I don't know."

Reporter: "Ms. Meng Lina, can you tell us the future development direction of Hutchison Whampoa?"

"Of course, in the future, Hutchison Whampoa's first step in its development direction will be to expand throughout Asia, and then it will develop in the direction of Western Europe and North America."

Reporter: "Ms. Meng Lina, which industries will Hutchison Whampoa's future development focus on?"

"Real estate construction, financial investment, department store retail, hotels and restaurants, petroleum agency and production, entertainment media, and aviation services are the main areas."

Reporter: "Ms. Meng Lina, when will Hutchison Whampoa start preparing to develop industries in other districts?"

"Currently, Hutchison Whampoa has invested in branches in Tokyo, Singapore, and mainland China. Next, it will expand its layout in Seoul, Taiwan, Taiwan, Buddhism, Malaysia and other places. A press conference will be held at that time."

..............................

The reporters asked questions one by one, and Que Qi answered them all. The press conference lasted for a full hour before it ended, and the reporters and those who were seeking information left with satisfied news.

The reason why Zhuang Rongxu held this press conference was just to build momentum for Hutchison's resumption of listing. He did not expect that Hutchison's stock price would be low at that time.

This is detrimental to his control of this commercial aircraft carrier.

He also doesn’t want other shareholders to spend some money to rely on his aircraft carrier. Hutchison Whampoa will definitely do well in the future under his management.

For those who want low investment and high returns, Zhuang Rongxu will definitely not get what they want.

As for the news of the public recruitment of new shareholders, Zhuang Rongxu is just a cover. It is absolutely impossible for him to let others take advantage of Hutchison Whampoa. He must let himself control more than 51% of the shares.

Therefore, whoever outside thought they had found a loophole in Hutchison Whampoa was actually done by Zhuang Rongxu deliberately, asking them to help him drive up the stock price before Hutchison Whampoa was listed.

This is Zhuang Rongxu's ultimate goal.

a week later.

Zhuang Rongxu met the Rong brothers again on the boat at Taibai Seafood Restaurant in Hong Kong Chai.

Now the Taibai Seafood Restaurant is packed with people, and the entire Seafood Restaurant is full of people.

A week ago, after Taibai Seafood Restaurant was taken over by Hutchison Whampoa, it launched a clearance promotion. Anyone who came to eat would receive a 7% discount for the purpose of clearance and decoration.Today will be the last day of operation, and then we will enter a few months of major renovations.

A week ago, Zhuang Rongxu Hutchison Whampoa had reached a consensus with Wong Lo Kat Group and successfully completed the transaction with a one-time payment of close to HK$2000 million.

From then on, Heung Kong Tsai also began to restore its tripartite status. Jumbo Seafood Restaurant was owned by Zheng Yutong and Mr. He, Cape Palace was owned by the foreign-owned Melco Company, and Taibai Seafood Restaurant was owned by Hutchison Whampoa.

In the box.

"Master Zhuang, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you. I think your products will definitely be very popular in the Beimi region in the future. I can guarantee this."

"I hope so. As for the publicity plan, I will send someone to cooperate with Mr. Rong."

"Okay, I'm sorry to bother Mr. Zhuang."

"Mr. Rong, you are very polite. I wish us a happy cooperation again." Zhuang Rongxu stretched out his hand and shook it with the Rong brothers again.

After several discussions, they finally signed a contract and reached a cooperation to establish a new company in North America through a joint venture.

The North American region is different. Many policies do not allow people with non-local household registration to establish companies, especially in core industries. Products like Zhuang Rongxu's are considered one of the semiconductor products.

Therefore, it is relatively strict, so the Rong family holds 51% of the equity. At the same time, the Rong family is also a legal person, and the position of chairman of the company also belongs to the Rong family. Zhuang Rongxu can only control some high-level positions in the company, but he is not worried if the product patent is in his hands. Something will go wrong.

But being able to use the Rong family to open channels there is what Zhuang Rongxu wants most.

After a few years, when his branch develops and stabilizes there, even if he and the Rong family part ways, Zhuang Rongxu will not worry about being unable to survive.

So no matter whether he holds 49% of the equity in the current cooperation with the Rong family, or whether the legal person and chairman positions are occupied by them, Zhuang Rongxu does not feel disadvantaged. It is just a Walkman product. He doesn't care. What he cares about is the future there. market.

His company will definitely not have many products in the future, such as electronic products such as computers, pagers, and mobile phones. These are the main good things.

There are also many electrical products, such as VCDs, various future office products, etc.

He didn't care at all about licensing a Walkman patent to the Rong family, as long as he could cooperate with his company to open up the market there.
