Hong Kong Comprehensive Report: Dragon is in Hong Kong, he just wants to be a plutocrat

Chapter 199 Secretly absorbing shares

Lee Shau Kee didn't say a word about this matter. The first head-to-head confrontation between Lee Shau-kee and Li Ban-cheng caused a sensation in Hong Kong. The media in Hong Kong wanted to see a real battle of the century to see who would win in the end.

Lee Shau Kee acquired 34.7% of the shares. Since it did not exceed 35%, it did not involve a full acquisition. Li Bancheng also has the opportunity to acquire shares from other shareholders and compete with Lee Shau-kee for the controlling stake in Miramar. At that time, Li Bancheng and Li Shauji were not only the two richest people in Hong Kong, but also very good friends in the eyes of outsiders.

The two people collaborated a lot in those years. Together they invested 200 billion in Canada, established Pacific Concordia, and developed the Vancouver Expo Park project. At the same time, while they were competing for the Miramar Hotel, the third phase of the Jiazhaotai real estate project co-operated by Lee Shau-kee and Li Bancheng had just been launched.

The average price of this project was as high as 7000 yuan per square foot at that time, making it the most expensive real estate residential project in Hong Kong at that time. Li Bancheng's acquisition of the Miramar Hotel was aggressive, but Li Shauji had already been secretly plotting against him. When Li Bancheng was planning the acquisition, Yang Bingzheng and her mother found Li Shauji together.

Because Yang Bingzheng's father, Yang Zhiyun, and Li Shauji were old friends. The two opened a gold shop in Central together and were very good friends. Later, Yang Zhiyun served as a director of Henderson Land for many years.

Yang Bingzheng and his mother told Lee Shau-kee about their intention to sell shares in Miramar Hotel, and hoped that Lee Shau-kee would take over. Lee Shau Kee also knew the reconstruction value of the Miramar Hotel, so he remained calm and waited for the other party to finish.

In fact, the key to Yang Bingzheng and his mother finding Lee Shau Kee was not only because of the good relationship between Yang Zhiyun and Lee Shau Kee, but also because Lee Shau Kee never split up the acquired companies. This is completely different from Li Bancheng. Li Bancheng's goal is to acquire the Miramar Hotel and then split the assets.

Yang Bingzheng and his mother also hope to keep the company developing independently. In the face of interests, Lee Shau Kee could not care less about his relationship with Li Bancheng. Of course, in terms of love, Lee Shau Kee's relationship with Yang Zhiyun might be better.

So in the end, Lee Shau Kee decided to invest 17 yuan per share to acquire the shares of Miramar Hotel. After Li Bancheng learned the news, he also raised the purchase price to 17 yuan per share. However, Yang Bingzheng's mother said that even if the price was the same, she would sell the shares to her fourth brother Li Shauji.

In the end, Li Bancheng came back defeated and made tens of billions less. Lee Shau Kee successfully acquired the Miramar Hotel and fulfilled his promise, allowing Yang Bingzheng to continue to manage the company.

Unfortunately, a few years later, Yang Bingzheng died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 59. However, although Yang Bingzheng passed away, Lee Shau Kee still retains the Miramar Hotel signature to this day.

Li Bancheng and Li Zhaoji also had a rift because of this incident, and now the relationship between the two is also very delicate.

The above is the beginning and end of the battle for the Miramar Hotel!

The 90s was the development cycle of local hotels, and at this stage only the Shangri-La brand entered Hong Kong. After the return of Hong Kong, it was a watershed in the development of Hong Kong. Since 2000, the mainland's economy has developed rapidly. Mainland tourists visiting Hong Kong have gradually exploded. Mainland tourists have become the main force in the tourism and hotel industry in Hong Kong. The hotel industry in Hong Kong has taken off again, which has also promoted the hotel industry in Hong Kong. Earnings hit new highs.

In the first decade of 2000, dozens of high-end international brands such as Hyatt, Four Seasons, W Hotels, Le Méridien, Marriott, Mandarin Oriental, and Crowne Plaza opened their doors, making Xiangjiang a small place that has become a world-class destination. One of the most crowded cities for high-end luxury hotels.

The hotel industry will usher in an explosive development after the return of Hong Kong.

It would be no exaggeration to call it a cash cow at that time.

Of course Jiang Tianen would not let go of such an opportunity to make money, but the acquisition of a listed company cannot be accomplished overnight and must be planned in advance.

Yazhoulong Investment Company now has a lot of idle funds on its books.

On the Miracle Day in June, the short book fund surplus was 43 billion, of which 30 billion was transferred to invest in the U.S. stock market and short U.S. bonds through Morgan Bank in Hong Kong.

Fang Zhanbo and Luo Minsheng have established Asia Dragon US Investment Branch in an office building near Wall Street in New York.

Among them, a full 9 billion Hong Kong dollars were invested in U.S. technology stocks. Under Fang Zhanbo’s sweeping of goods at any cost, they owned a large number of Dell computers (computer manufacturers), CCU (radio stations), best buy (retail industry), Microsoft ( Nasdaq technology stocks), Charles Schwab (brokerage), NBTV (vitamin and food supplier), WCOM (communication technology), AMGN (biotechnology), prepaid (law firm), Intel (semiconductor -), Home Depot (construction Material supplier), PAYX (payroll reporting software service), DG (retailer), Harley-Davidson (motorcycle manufacturer), Gap (clothing retailer), Staples (office supplies), Bank of the West/Puerto Rico (banking), MDT (drug supplier), ZION Bank), LOW (building materials supplier).

Two tens of billions may seem like a lot, but it won’t amount to much if you diversify your investments.

The issuance volume of U.S. stock companies is generally very large. When these dispersed funds are invested, even the top ten shareholders of GAP Clothing, which is the smallest, are not included.

Therefore, it cannot attract the attention of interested people.

Moreover, the United States also welcomes companies like the Chiang Group with huge amounts of money to invest in U.S. stocks.

It is this open financial attitude that has allowed the U.S. stock market to grow for thirty years since the 1990s.

At this time, just hold on to the above stocks firmly, don’t worry about temporary fluctuations, and cover if they fall! The annual rate of return can basically be stable at above 30%.

Colombian flour merchants would be jealous if they saw this profit margin.

Ten years later, this amount of money, including principal and interest, will be rolled over to HK$80 billion.

The remaining 10 billion are three times short of the US 30-year Treasury Bond!

At this time, the Asia Dragon Xiangjiang headquarters still has more than 10 billion bullets left.

Of course the money won't be idle.

Among them, the HKD 5 billion short-selling Hang Seng Index comes from Huaye Bank's financial management fund-raising. This money can bring Asia Dragon 200 million in fixed management fee income every year, and can also distribute an additional 300 million in excess profits.

This profit is borrowing someone else's chicken to lay your own eggs.

In addition to some continuing to short the Hang Seng Index real estate stocks and financial stocks.

They even secretly invested in some leading local companies, such as Da Liu’s Chinese Real Estate and Lin Jianyue’s TVB, but none of them passed the sign-off line.

But Miramar Hotel is different. In addition to Asia Dragon acquiring 4% of Miramar's shareholding for HK$ million, it also used tactics to deal with Wu Crab and used a large number of shell secrets to attract Miramar from retail investors in the market. China's stocks are part of the reason for buying stocks regardless of cost.

Excluding these Asian Dragon accounts, there are still idle funds of up to HK$8 billion.

It's more than enough for the Miramar Hotel acquisition. If it's not enough, he can also issue a bond financing through Huaye Bank, which will give him an endless supply of ammunition.

Of course, Li Bancheng is not bad either. As a white-glove British investor in Hong Kong, he can also get a steady stream of low-interest loans from HSBC.

As Chen Taotao's information was disclosed, everyone present felt a sense of pride.

Hong Kong tycoons are everywhere, but how many people are there with a cash flow of tens of billions like my own boss?

After understanding the current financial status of Asia Dragon, Jiang Tianen continued to ask. “What’s going on with Chen Taotao in Miramar now? Apart from us, can other players start to intervene?”

"Boss, I occasionally had funds to buy Miramar Hotel shares. After observation, we found that the purchases were scattered, so we didn't pay attention. But something was wrong starting the week before. I wasn't sure, so I sent someone to carefully record every purchase. A moment of stock trading data."

"But this morning, it was still like this, and it was very regular. I realized that other institutions had really entered the market, and the method they chose was the same secret shopping as us."

"If we hadn't sent people to keep an eye on them, we really wouldn't have been able to detect their entry. Because we didn't dare to inquire on a large scale for fear of arousing their alertness, we didn't know who was entering, and I probably wouldn't be able to find out."

Chen Taotao hurriedly reported the report very carefully, for fear of missing something and affecting the boss's thinking.

Jiang Tianen nodded after hearing this, pondered for a moment, and then continued to ask: "Have we been discovered?"

Chen Taotao thought carefully for a while, and then said firmly: "I think, no!"

After speaking, he continued to explain.

“Because we entered the market before, and in order not to alert others, we operated carefully. From the perspective of institutions that came in later, our operations were actually within the normal fluctuation range, so we should not have been discovered. !”

"It looks like Li Chaoren took action!" According to the current time point, Li Bancheng should have formed a joint consortium with the Rong family.

"Chen Taotao, except that we currently own 4% of Miramar's shares, what is the situation with other accounts?"

"Boss, wait a moment, I have a record and I will report to you in detail!"

Account No. 13000 holds 1.2 Miramar Hotel shares, accounting for 15% of the total share capital. Each share is currently worth HK$1.34, and the acquisition cost HK$ million.

Account No. 2...

Account No. 3...

Account No. 4

Account No. 5

In order not to expose Asia Dragon's ambitions, Jiang Tianen instructed Chen Taotao to secretly use other accounts to absorb the other party's shares.

A total of five accounts spent a total of 6 million Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 6% of the total shares of Miramar Hotel, plus the previous acquisition, a total of 10%.

In other words, if Asia Dragon discloses its shareholding information, it will be the sixth largest shareholder of Miramar Hotel, and it can enter the shareholders meeting of Miramar Hotel.

After listening to the data reported by Chen Taotao, Jiang Tianen was very satisfied. He was able to acquire so many stocks in a short period of time without being discovered. He did a good job indeed, and he did have a brush. As expected, he almost fucked Ding Xie once. Bankrupt old trader!

Although the initial acquisition is less likely to be discovered by others because there are more shares circulating outside, and the difficulty of acquisition is also lower, but being able to achieve this level in a short period of time is considered very capable, at least in terms of execution ability. On one point, Chen Taotao did not disappoint.

"In this case, Chen Taotao, you ask them to be more careful and continue to secretly purchase shares of Miramar Company. Try not to alert Li Bancheng and the Yang family."

"Because there are institutions that are also acquiring, the difficulty of acquisition will increase. If you feel that you are about to be discovered, start a comprehensive acquisition immediately! As long as the price is not higher than 20 yuan per share, you can acquire stocks from other institutions unlimitedly." Jiang Tianen pondered for a moment, ordered.

"Understood!" Chen Taotao replied seriously with a serious expression.

"The acquisition plan will continue as usual. Each account will receive another 100 million Hong Kong dollars. We must ensure that there are no problems with Miramar's acquisition plan. Once it is confirmed that other institutions will enter the market, just like today, notify me as soon as possible!" Jiang Tianen's eyes narrowed. , looked at Chen Taotao with burning eyes, he was competing with Li Bancheng for time!

Seeing Chen Taotao nodding solemnly, Jiang Tianen smiled with satisfaction, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Well done, I'm very satisfied, keep working hard! Not only will you get a generous cash reward for completing this order, but the entire team will also Everyone has a big holiday!"

"Thank you for the compliment, boss!" Chen Taotao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It would be a lie to say there was no pressure in front of the boss, especially since he knew in his heart that the big boss was also knocking him recently. Luo Minsheng, who was given such a good opportunity in the United States, Being a newcomer is the best proof, but this time he was very happy to be recognized by his boss, so he smiled relaxedly: "Boss, I will continue to work hard."

But this alone is not enough.

The total outstanding shares of Miramar on the market are 40%.

Among them, Jiang Tianen currently holds 10%.

Among the five Yang brothers, Yang Bingzheng and Mrs. Yang alone own 40%, and the remaining 10% of the shares are scattered among the remaining four Yang brothers and sisters.

The one who can really decide the final ownership of Miramar is in the hands of Yang Bingzheng.

At this moment, Li Bancheng has not made a comprehensive invitation, and the Yang family should not have contacted Li Shauji. In other words, as long as he settles Yang Bingzheng and secretly continues to absorb shares in the market, he can become a major shareholder accounting for more than 50%, and eventually be able to hold it alone. The plump fruit of Miramar.

It's just that he has no contact with the Yang family and has no business contacts.

How can one get in touch with this tycoon?

Maybe he figured out what the boss was thinking.

Gan Guoqing, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said: "Boss, there is a charity jewelry exhibition in the city next week! It is jointly organized by Ms. Yang Ying, the former general manager of Miramar Hotel, Yang Bingzheng's sister and brother-in-law, and Guan Yaoji. Not only Yang Bingzheng will attend, but also famous tycoons in the city and officials from overseas consulates will be invited."

The Yang Ying mentioned by Gan Guoqing is Yang Bingzheng's third sister. The two not only have a good relationship but are also allies in the Yang family.

As for Guan Yaoji's father, he is an old minister of the Yang family. Yang Ying and him are in a relationship between a loyal servant and a rich lady. Their marriage history is like a real-life TV drama about a wealthy family.

When Yang Zhiyun was still alive, he took good care of the Guan family and his son. Even if his daughter committed to marrying, she had no objection. However, with the death of Yang Zhiyun, the family management rights faced a major reshuffle. Guan Yaoji was just a son-in-law. The five eldest sons of the Yang family were worried that he was trying to seize the family property, so they directly took Guan Yaoji away. After being kicked out of the company, he resented his wife's family for this, but he was unable to do anything about it.

Yang Ying never took care of things in the family and could not help her husband. She once wanted to find some brothers to intercede and let her husband return to work, but her husband was already frustrated, so the couple decided to move to Japan and no longer participate in the family affairs. Fight for property.
