Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 529 My goal is actually

On the way home, Gu Weijun closed his eyes to rest. Jiang Wanhua asked in confusion, "Weijun, why don't we hold the Wharf ourselves?"

"We should give it to the charter king instead?"

Gu Weijun still closed his eyes and replied slowly, "Wanhua, we need to have a broader vision."

“It’s not just Wharf Holdings, nor is it just Hutchison Whampoa.”

"Oh, Weijun, what do you mean?"

"Yes, we should focus on the four major foreign companies?"

"Yeah," Gu Weijun smiled, "Of course, we don't have the means to deal with HSBC and Standard Chartered banks right now."

"But among the four major foreign companies, we are the British devils' water pump, constantly pumping money from Hong Kong to the English mainland."

"Let's eat Hutchison first."

"Then there's Wheelock. Haha, the British are all stupid. Now that world shipping is clearly starting to decline, Wheelock is still investing money in it."

A month later, the HSBC board of directors was engaged in a heated debate over who to sell Hutchison Whampoa to.

The boss Shen Bi slammed the table and said, "Although Li Bancheng is currently underfunded, it is easier for us to control it!"

"Although we have had little dealings with Jiang Wanhua of the Taiping Collective, we know that this woman is extraordinary. She may have support from the mainland!"

“So, I will never sell Hutchison to Taiping Construction Group!”

But there are more people who oppose Shen Bi, "Shen Bi, are you combining business and politics together?"

“We’re here to make money!”

"It's not about politics. Political matters can be left to the angry second wife!"

"Are we just going to watch Hong Kong's business slip out of our control?"

"How could that be? As long as we have the right to print money and Jiang Wanhua gives us a guarantee, we will sell Hutchison to her!"

"What guarantee?"

"Let her pay at least 2 million US dollars to buy our HSBC shares! Haha, if she becomes one of us, we will sell Hutchison to her. Just like Director Pao, we will also give her a seat on the board of directors."

"This..." Shen Bi hesitated. Li Bancheng could only take out 6000 million US dollars now, and the rest of the money had to be mortgaged to HSBC by stocks. And Jiang Wanhua's Taiping Construction Group not only bought the stocks in full, but also had 4 million US dollars.

If we spend another 2 million dollars
"Okay, I have reservations about Hutchison's 33% stake."

"Boss Shen, we all know that you want to support a Chinese capitalist. This will make it easier to hide ourselves and gain the favor of New China."

"But have you ever thought about this? As long as HSBC still has the right to issue banknotes, no matter which Chinese capital it is, it will be under our control."

Shen Bi sighed deeply, "Okay then."

"However, Qingzhou Cement"

"Haha, Mr. Shen, don't worry, I won't treat Li Bancheng unfairly!"

"Okay, I'll inform Ms. Jiang Wanhua right away."

Jiang Wanhua was wearing sunglasses, followed by four spirited female bodyguards. The female bodyguards were looking around the whole time, with their right hands on their waists. They walked into the HSBC building with their heads held high.

"Ms. Jiang, your bodyguard, please wait here or put down your weapon first."

"No need, I'll go up with you, so I don't have to leave my weapon!" Jiang Wanhua sneered, "Of course, I must explain that I'm a special invite from the mainland, and I've just been on the battlefield!"

"What battlefield? You should know clearly!"

"Of course, of course!" The lobby manager who was welcoming guests kept wiping his sweat with a handkerchief. "Ms. Jiang, please come this way."

In the top floor office, Shen Bizheng and Li Bancheng were chatting, "Li Bancheng, there is really nothing we can do this time. The board members are only concerned about their immediate interests, just because Jiang Wanhua, a woman from the mainland, has more cash flow."

"Ugh"

"Boss Shen, don't feel guilty. It's normal for the board to come to this conclusion. After all, on the one hand, there are hundreds of millions of US dollars at your fingertips, and on the other hand, I still need your support for the loan." Li Bancheng casually took out a watch box and pushed it to Shen Bi's hand. "Boss Shen, this is a local specialty I brought back from my trip to Switzerland."

"Hey." Shen Bi squinted at the Vacheron Constantin logo and pinyin on the watch box, and said in a falsely polite tone, "There's no need to be so polite between us!"

"How is this polite?"

Li Bancheng said seriously, "I just brought some local specialties to my friend during his travels."

"Well, okay then, Li Bancheng, you can prepare to take over Qingzhou Cement!"

"Ah, thank you so much, Mr. Shen!"

"Hehe, we are friends."

"Knock, knock," the assistant knocked on the door and entered. "Boss Shen, Ms. Jiang Wanhua has arrived at your office door. This..."

"Please ask her to come in, Bancheng. I won't keep you here today. We still have a lot of things to do in the future."

"Please stay!" After watching Li Bancheng leave from another elevator, Shen Bicai informed his assistant, "Please invite Ms. Jiang Wanhua in."

"My dear, we have already got Hutchison. We have now acquired 51% of the shares and have reached the point of full acquisition. Do we need to continue? Or should we sell some?" Jiang Wanhua took a shower and found a comfortable position to lie on Gu Weijun's body.

"We have already acquired 13.5% of the shares held by the MacDeng family through several companies. The total has exceeded 20%. Now only the Zhang Yuliang family is left."

"But the Zhang Yuliang family didn't seem to want to make a move. I sent someone to contact them, but they wanted to buy out the shares we had."

Gu Weijun gently stroked Jiang Wanhua's smooth hair and sneered twice, "The Zhang Yuliang family won't cry until they see the coffin!"

“Push up the stock price outside by 2 times and see if they will sell it!”

"Otherwise, don't sell and keep pushing up the price!"

"Once we exceed 35%, we will directly announce the issuance of new shares to dilute the shares they hold!"

"You must be kidding. It's already this time, and you still can't see the situation clearly? If you don't teach these Hong Kong capitalists a lesson, they will know that Lord Ma has three eyes!"

"Okay! Honey, you're awesome!"

"Haha! Of course!"

"Oh dear, let me take it easy."

On the other side, at the ship charter king’s manor, Zhang Yuliang, the major shareholder of Wheelock at the time, complained bitterly: “Ship charter king!”

"This is too much!"

“Although our family is not the chairman of Wheelock’s board of directors, we are the major shareholder! We own 20.6% of the shares.”

"But Jiang Wanhua unreasonably acquired the shares of the Ma Deng family, and now he is buying up shares on the market at high prices."

"They are trying to drive our family out of Wheelock!"

"Mr. Bao, we are both Chinese businessmen, can you help us?"

After Captain Bao poured tea for Zhang Yuliang, he asked in confusion: "Why hasn't your family taken back the shares from the Ma Deng family in all these years?"

"And your family isn't even the chairman of the board?"

"This..." Zhang Yuliang's face was full of bitterness, "We also raised funds from Southeast Asia to get so many shares."

“We are no longer able to continue acquiring companies.”

"Mr. Bao, I heard that you are familiar with Ms. Jiang Wanhua. Can you be a middleman?"

“We don’t ask to be chairman of the board.”

“Just keep going!”
