Rise up Hong Kong! Build a super wealthy Zhuang family

The charter king's successful acquisition of Wharf was burning like the wind throughout Hong Kong.

The next morning all the newspapers and various discussions were about Charter King, Wharf, Land and so on, which shows how great the impact of this incident was.

This matter does have a great impact.

The chartering king has also become a hero in the Chinese-funded business community, breaking the false reputation of British-funded companies as being unparalleled. I think Bao Yugang's action is to win glory for the Chinese.

While there was a lot of gossip about the Wharf incident outside, another beneficiary, Zhuang Rongxu, was also secretly rejoicing.

This time the Wharf incident also benefited him a lot. 8.2 million shares were traded for HK$105, and the total amount reached HK$860 million.

After paying off all the debts owed to Huaqi and HSBC, he still had more than 500 million in his personal account, all of which he earned through two uses of the stock market.

During this period, in addition to earning this cash, Zhuang Rongxu also had companies that changed the entire landscape. In addition, he now holds more than 34% of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa Group. These shares are worth 400 million even based on the market price.

But even if someone offers 1 billion or 2 billion for the Hutchison shares in his hand, he will not sell them.

Zhuang Rongxu regards Hutchison Whampoa as the foundation for future development. How could he transfer his equity to others?

Even if Li Chaoren found out now and brought the charter king or Shen Bi, the chief executive of HSBC Bank, to find him, he would not give in even an inch.

At worst, fight with them.

Although HSBC has money, if it fully supports Li Chaoren, Zhuang Rongxu will definitely fail. Zhuang Rongxu himself has no doubt about this. After all, HSBC is indeed the leading brother in Hong Kong.

But things are not hopeless. Now that Zhuang Rongxu has established a certain credibility relationship with Huaqi Bank, it is only a small problem for him to get a loan.

If Huaqi is willing to help him with all its strength, even if the matter develops into a fight with HSBC, Zhuang Rongxu believes that there will be a glimmer of hope and he can win Hutchison.

But he would not be angry, and it was impossible for Li Chaoren to have another chance to slowly prepare to win Hutchison.

Therefore, Zhuang Rongxu is now buying Hutchison Whampoa's shares in advance regardless of the cost. Through Huaqi Bank, he obtained 27% of the equity from the investment banking institution, and his people acquired nearly 7% of the equity in the market. Now he personally owns more than 34% of Hutchison shares.

As long as the last person gets the equity of Hutchison \u0026 Co., Hutchison will become his property.

It is not difficult to get this person's equity, but Zhuang Rongxu still needs something in the early stage, which is to provoke hatred between Li Chaoren and him, and then he will intervene.

The time soon came to around 10 o'clock in the morning.

At this time, it is at the Hong Kong Island Trading Center, Far East Exchange, Kowloon Exchange, and Gold and Silver Exchange. The four major exchanges in Hong Kong did not know when a piece of news broke out, and the news exploded instantly.

"Did you hear the news that HSBC traded shares in Hutchison Whampoa to Li Chaoren? Is this true?"

"Received. The news came out early this morning. I think it's true. Think about it. Even the charter king was able to take over Wharf. Hutchison Whampoa was once close to bankruptcy. It's normal for it to be acquired by Li Chaoren. .”

"That's not right. When HSBC took over Hutchison, including when Hutchison was listed and renamed (Hutchison Whampoa), didn't the God of Wealth (Shen Bi) say that Hutchison would be handed over to the current general manager Wei Li in the future? , how do you say it just changed?"

"I don't know, but there is no smoke without fire."

"If this news is true, should we buy some Hutchison stocks? Maybe it will make Li Chaoren and Wei Li fight like Wharf. By then, the stock price will really rise to more than 100 Hong Kong dollars?"

"What the skinny guy said makes sense. Come on, let's go to the Hong Kong Island Trading Center to buy some Hutchison stocks."

This kind of thing is being discussed no matter which exchange it is on, and the scope of the discussion is gradually covering the charter king's acquisition of Wharf.

All this was done by Zhuang Rongxu.

His purpose is obvious, which is to secretly tell Wei Li that this guy knows that he is determined to give Hutchison to him by an HSBC executive. Doesn't he know that the Hutchison shares owned by HSBC are already in the hands of Li Chaoren.

What he wants is for Wei Li to stand against HSBC and Li Chaoren in advance, so that he can have a chance to get the 15% stake in Hutchison Whampoa from Wei Li.

As long as he gets 15% of the equity, Zhuang Rongxu can reach 49% of the equity, trigger the offer, and he can take over Hutchison. Unless Li Chaoren gets 51% of the equity instantly, he is doomed to fail.

The reason why Zhuang Rongxu did this was to follow the Wharf incident and confuse investors, thinking that Hutchison Matheson would also experience a sharp rise in stock prices like Wharf, and they rushed to buy Hutchison shares.

He did this to prevent Li Chaoren from secretly obtaining more Hutchison Whampoa shares. Even if Wei Li didn't make a deal with him in the end, he wouldn't let Li Chaoren hold more Hutchison stocks than him.

He also has a chance to take over Hutchison.

As long as he takes up the position of chairman of Hutchison, he will naturally find a way to prohibit shareholders from privately trading equity and allow him to increase his own shares to more than 50% as soon as possible.

As long as he takes the position of chairman, he has many ways to increase shares. Whether it is financing, capital increase or dilution of other equity interests, these methods can allow him to quickly achieve corresponding control rights.

If he is the chairman, he can find people to control the equity through financing, and the capital increase can also reduce their equity. Dilution is easier. On average, each shareholder does not need to dilute too much equity, which is enough for him to achieve absolute control.

But everything must be ensured until he can successfully become the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa.

News that HSBC secretly traded Hutchison Whampoa's stocks with Li Chaoren also spread quickly.

Other Chinese-owned people in Xiangjiang are even more ready to take action.

And the person who should be angry is out of control.

Office of Li Chaoren, Chairman of Cheung Kong Holdings.

"What's going on? Who spread this news?" It's very rare for Li Chaoren to lose his composure like this again.

It’s no wonder that Zhuang Rongxu is not the only one who sees Hutchison Whampoa as a base camp in the future. Even Li Chaoren wants to use these foreign banks as a springboard for development. After all, these foreign banks have been developing in Hong Kong for more than a hundred years and their industries involve many industries.

When such a group takes over, it only needs to be handled a little better and get rid of some bad industries. It is not difficult to develop into a high-quality group.

What's more, Hutchison Whampoa invested so much money in development in the 1970s, and the industrial value of its companies is huge, completely exceeding the stock price.

The current share price of Hutchison Whampoa has risen from HK$1 per share at the end of 1974 to nearly HK$14 per share. The original share price is 1 share, and the total market value is only 1.4 billion.

But in the 1970s, when Qi Dezun was the chairman of Hutchison Matheson, he invested far more than 1.4 billion Hong Kong dollars in development. Therefore, the real total industrial value of Hutchison Whampoa now definitely exceeds 4 billion.

Seriously underrated.

Faced with such an industry, who wouldn’t be tempted?

"Li Sheng, I went to investigate this matter, but I only found that the news came from the Hong Kong Island Trading Center."

"Only a few management members of the group and a few people at HSBC know about this matter. Why did it get spread like this?" Li Chaoren was still very puzzled. Although he didn't believe that it was him who was exposed, he still couldn't believe it. He had to be suspicious.

"Jia Cheng, whoever said this should be put aside for now and solve the problem first." Zhuang Yueming said calmly on the side.

"Yes, Chairman, now that the news about our ownership of Hutchison Whampoa has been spread, it will definitely be difficult to secretly acquire Hutchison shares in the market. We need to get the shares of those investment banks as soon as possible."

"Yes, I think so too, otherwise Wei Li would definitely have taken precautions."

"You seem to have forgotten that besides Wei Li, there is another person in the dark. I have a vague feeling that this person is our biggest enemy." Zhuang Yueming said this wisely again.

I have to say that what she said hit the point. If Zhuang Rongxu were here, he would definitely lament that Li Chaoren's success was not unreasonable. Anyone who has such a wife to help him can succeed.

"Mingyue, what do you mean...?" Li Chaoren was not a fool, and he understood instantly.

"The only thing we can do now is increase our stake in Hutchison as soon as possible. This time we have to trade even if we have to pay a higher price." Zhuang Yueming continued.

"Go, immediately contact all investment banks that own Hutchison shares to discuss." Li Chaoren immediately issued the order after hearing what his wife Zhuang Yueming said.

at the same time.

In the general manager's office of Hutchison Whampoa, Wei Li looked very calm.

Since he heard the news, he locked himself in the office without seeing anyone.
