The Industrial Giant Reborn

After Lei Shengli and Xu Weishan left, Zhou Jiayang, who was in charge of financial affairs, was called in, but the difference was that An Qi, who had been recording before, was also invited out.

"How's Hutchison's preparations going?" Chen Zhiwen asked, this is the thing he pays most attention to recently, second only to retail and Midea.

"I have registered 600 new accounts overseas. In Indonesia, I have spread the news a long time ago. At the same time, I have paid the local newspapers to report and record the one-year breach of contract. The newspapers have already come out, but Hong Kong There is no news yet, but it is estimated that it will be soon." Zhou Jiayang said.

"Do you have that newspaper?" Chen Zhiwen asked. In the non-Internet era, if the headlines in this country do not affect other countries, then people in other countries may never know about them for a lifetime, and it is difficult to find them. It may also take a long time for the message to get through.

"Yes, I asked the newspaper to send me some money before." Zhou Jiayang had already prepared it.

"Well, then arrange someone to contact the Hong Kong newspapers to expose this matter. The current media are eager to sensationalize and gain new customers. They will not let go of this kind of breaking news." Chen Zhiwen said lightly.

"No problem, I know the editor-in-chief of Hong Kong Economic Journal. As long as this news is given to him, it will probably be on the financial headlines the next day." Zhou Jiayang said with a smile.

"Okay, you control your time well. When the news breaks out and Hutchison's stock is under pressure, you need to take over the stock immediately. Try to buy more Hutchison shares without attracting attention." Chen Zhiwen said.

"Okay, as long as the control is good, it shouldn't be a problem to buy another 5-10%, but I'm worried about whether Hutchison's financial situation can handle it." Zhou Jiayang said worriedly.

"One of the four foreign firms, how could it be so easy to close down? The Hong Kong government won't let it close down." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

Big but not down, these four words are "idioms" born in modern society, and to a certain extent, they are correct.

The bankruptcy of any company will cause losses far exceeding its own size. Its partners, its suppliers, its customers, its creditors, its investors, etc. will be seriously affected. Among the parties, some who rely too much on this company may also go bankrupt because of this, which will trigger a similar domino effect.

The larger the size of the bankrupt company, the greater the damage it will cause. To put it simply, take Hutchison as an example. If Hutchison goes bankrupt, employees will lose their jobs and suppliers will go bankrupt. The most deadly thing is the bank. With the scale of Hutchison, there are also quite a few small banks in Hong Kong. Once these banks have funding problems due to Hutchison, it is very likely to cause a run on depositors, and the consequences will far exceed those of the 1960s.

Even HSBC, Hong Kong's quasi-central bank, has lent hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to Hutchison. Of course, HSBC will not go bankrupt due to its scale, but it will also be seriously affected.

In the modern business history of mankind, there have been many large insolvent enterprises in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, but the government and the central bank can only grit their teeth and carry out rescues, such as the United States' strong support for the automobile industry, South Korea's rescue for Daewoo Group, etc. Wait, it is really because such a large company is allowed to go bankrupt, and the economic harm caused is too great for the society to accept.

Of course, there are some exceptions. For example, during the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis, the U.S. government did not rescue Lehman Bank and let it go bankrupt, but this shows an unrecoverable consequence. The damage caused to the global economy after the collapse of Lehman Bank is Far more than the funds needed to rescue it at the beginning, but not saving Lehman is also because of ZZ reasons. It is a warning from the White House to Wall Street. bottom line.

The impact of the real estate industry is not as good as that of such a big bank, but the harm caused is not small. Besides, Hutchison does not belong to the real industry, and the company that focuses on real estate should actually be a financial company.

"Then I will let the media release the news tomorrow, and the market will probably respond soon." Zhou Jiayang said.

Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "Okay, once Hutchison's stock price falls, you will start to buy immediately. You don't need to think about buying at the lowest point. What I want is to increase the shares to a proportion close to the controlling share. The more you buy, the better." .”

Now the entire market value of Hutchison is only 500 million Hong Kong dollars, and it will not fall much if it falls again. The most stable is the stock acquisition.

"Okay, no problem, I know what to do." Zhou Jiayang nodded and said.

In an office building on Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong, the headquarters of Hong Kong Economic Journal is here.

"Director Li." In the office, Director Li, who was looking at the documents, suddenly heard a voice from the door outside, looked up, and said with a smile, "Xiao Wang, come and sit, what can I do for you?"

Speaking of Xiao Wang, Director Li is very satisfied recently. It has been more than two years since Xiao Wang joined the letter, and his behavior has always been normal before, but in the past six months, I don’t know what’s going on, and I can always collect a lot in the first place. The information surprised him as a director. After a while, if he still performed well, he was going to give Xiao Wang a promotion.

"Thank you, Director Li." Xiao Wang sat down politely, handed over an A4 paper in his hand, and said, "Director Li, a friend of mine in Indonesia sent it to me, please take a look."

"Indonesia?" Director Li was a little puzzled. What does the Indonesian matter have to do with us? Did any major international incident happen?

After receiving the document from Xiao Wang, the document was written in both Indonesian and English. Director Li glanced at the content, his face immediately changed, and then looked at the signature and seal in the lower right corner, and asked, "Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. This is a photocopy of a document issued by the Indonesian government to the Indonesian branch of Hutchison Group. I wouldn't dare to falsify this kind of document even if you gave me ten guts?" Xiao Wang explained.

"Since it is a document issued by the Indonesian government to Hutchison Group, why do you have it?" Director Li looked at Xiao Wang with deep eyes and asked, it's okay to have some more accurate news before, after all, it's all about Hong Kong. Maybe the other party has something to do with it, but this kind of document is definitely not something that can be obtained by ordinary relationships. It is probably a planned plan.

"I have a friend who works at Hutchison, and he gave it to me." Xiao Wang said pretending to be calm.

At this moment, he is also very helpless. Half a year ago, someone suddenly found him and said that he wanted to cooperate. He didn't believe it at first, but later the other party gave him cash and told him some valuable news, which made him gain a lot. benefit.

Although he also doubted the other party's purpose, the benefits he got were really delicious, and last night, when the other party gave him the news, he knew that he must be involved in something, but he couldn't refuse it.

"Okay, keep in touch with your friend, and let me know if you have any new news." Director Li saw something wrong at a glance, but he didn't expose it. Based on his intuition, there must be some conspiracy behind this news. It doesn't have to be illegal, but it definitely involves great interests. I have too many things to do, so there are definitely no benefits, and not necessarily disadvantages.

"Then, should this matter be on the news?" Xiao Wang asked.

"Come on, it will be on the homepage of the financial section tomorrow." Director Li said calmly. This is a big news in itself, and there is obviously someone pushing it behind it. If you don't post it yourself, others will post it. If this is the case, it is better to post the hot news yourself.
