#46 - Money, suddenly not enough to spend
Su Cheng calculated that the three people's shares added up to 16.5%.
And the shares he controlled, plus the shares that Tianyuan Company had been secretly absorbing during this period, were now at least 22.5% or more.
In this way, he could own 39% of Hutchison Whampoa's equity.
Adding HSBC's 22.4% stake, the final stake that Tianyuan Investment Management Company could control would reach more than 61.4%.
This proportion is not far from the 75% required to initiate delisting and privatization.
Even if the transaction with HSBC Bank is not finally reached, he can rely on this 39% of the shares to become the largest shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa.
Of course, this does not guarantee that he can really control Hutchison Whampoa.
Because no one knows how many of Hutchison Whampoa's shareholders support HSBC Bank. If their shares add up to more than this number, then Su Cheng will not be able to truly control Hutchison Whampoa.
HSBC Bank's power will only be far greater than he imagined.
Therefore, other shareholders will definitely choose to support HSBC Bank instead of him, Su Cheng.
There are fewer and fewer retail investors in the market, so the shares of HSBC Bank should be obtained if possible.
Otherwise, you can only secretly look for other shareholders and buy their shares.
"Mr. Brown, in this case, I am interested. If you can convince them, I will agree to acquire at the price you said, and I want all the shares of your three people," Su Cheng said with a smile.
"That's no problem. If you are in a hurry, I can even call them now to come over. In fact, you have met two of them, they were two of the people who were here yesterday," Brown Ogden said directly, his work style decisive and efficient.
"That would be great, but I have a small request. No matter what the final result is, I hope that the transaction between us will not be spread out for the time being, because I don't want HSBC Bank to get any relevant news," Su Cheng said seriously.
If people from HSBC Bank find out, they might make some trouble.
Therefore, before getting the equity controlled by HSBC Bank, it is better not to spread these news.
"Don't worry, we all have professional ethics. This is a trivial matter. Without any interest relationship, we don't need to tell it, and we can sign a confidentiality agreement," Brown Ogden said with a smile.
"Then I'm relieved," Su Cheng nodded.
It's best not to say it.
"Then I'll go make two calls first, Mr. Su, please sit here for a while," Brown Ogden stood up and said.
"Okay, I'll wait for Mr. Brown's good news."
Watching Brown Ogden walk out of the reception room, Su Cheng pondered for a moment.
This time, it was really unexpected. Of course, the unexpected thing was a surprise, not bad news.
About five minutes later, Brown Ogden returned to the reception room again.
"I have already contacted them. One will be here in about ten minutes, because he lives nearby; the other is currently in his company, which is a bit far from here, so it will take about half an hour to come over," Brown Ogden said as soon as he entered the door.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Brown," Su Cheng nodded and said.
Next, the two chatted with each other.
Hearing Su Cheng say that he wanted to develop business in Europe, Brown Ogden enthusiastically introduced the situation here, and also said that if there were places for cooperation, everyone could make money together.
More than half an hour later, the two London business tycoons finally arrived.
The matter of price negotiation was left to Brown Ogden.
After all, the price of HK$7.5 per share had been agreed upon, and he had also promised to convince the two.
Therefore, after the two arrived, the three began to discuss.
Su Cheng was on the sidelines, listening to them chatting back and forth.
Obviously, these two tycoons had also wanted to sell their shares for a long time, but there were really not many people who could buy so many shares at one time. If they were to slowly cash out little by little on the stock market, the price would be too low.
This time, it was indeed a very good opportunity.
Not only could they sell the Hutchison Whampoa shares they had held for many years in one go, but they could also sell them at a relatively suitable price, killing two birds with one stone.
"Mr. Su, we have reached an agreement. If possible, we can sign the share transfer contract immediately. Before coming, I have already asked them to bring their share certificates," Brown Ogden turned around and said directly to Su Cheng after the negotiation.
Brown Ogden's subordinates acted very quickly. Soon, three transfer contracts, each with two copies, were printed out.
Su Cheng, who had signed several transfer agreements, was not unfamiliar with equity transfer contracts at all, so he was not afraid of being cheated by them.
The most important thing, however, was the last clause of the agreement, that the transaction funds need to be transferred within two days, otherwise, not only will the transaction not be successful, but also 10% of the transaction amount will need to be compensated as compensation.
Su Cheng naturally didn't care about this. Not to mention within two days, he could go to the bank to transfer the money immediately.
After everyone carefully read the contract and made sure that there were no errors, the four people signed their names in the places where they needed to sign, pressed their fingerprints, stamped their personal private accounts, and finally confirmed that there were no errors, the three tycoons then transferred the share certificates to Su Cheng.
And the transaction was only one step away from the end, which was to transfer the money.
"Everyone, let's go to the bank now and transfer the money to you. Our transaction will be officially completed. Any Barclays Bank will do," Su Cheng said to them with a smile, holding the transfer contract and share certificates in his hand.
The transaction was completed, and Su Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since Mr. Su is so straightforward, let's set off now. Five kilometers away is the location of a large branch of Barclays Bank," Brown Ogden nodded and said.
With money to collect, everyone is active, even if they are all super-rich from London.
This transaction involved a total of 55 million pounds, and Su Cheng only had more than 63 million pounds in his hand.
He still had to take out 10 million pounds to buy the building later, so the money suddenly became insufficient.
This was mainly because Su Cheng didn't expect Brown Ogden to be able to bring in two other shareholders to sell their shares to him.
However, with such a good opportunity, Su Cheng would not miss it even if he didn't have enough money.
Today is June 4th, and there are still two days until the next World Cup match in the plan.
Fortunately, the matter of buying the building was delayed until tomorrow by the other party because they couldn't make it in time, otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to get so much money today.
There are no games on the 4th and 5th, so Su Cheng can't buy a game in advance to make money.
But for him, it doesn't have much impact.
The matter of buying the building will be discussed as usual tomorrow, as for the purchase price, it's okay to negotiate to pay it within three days. It's not a problem at all.
After this transaction is completed today, there will be more than 8 million pounds left in hand.
This money is actually enough for Su Cheng to buy lottery tickets. For the remaining five games, he needs to control the funds well, and he can't let the winning funds exceed the budget, so that it is easy to be spotted by the relevant departments.
The score of the next game will be a big score, and the odds should be higher than the first game.
No one would have thought that Mexico, as the only representative of North America, would be kicked so badly by West Germany.
