The Industrial Giant Reborn

Hong Kong, Galaxy Tower.

"Guo Sheng, it's really early." When Chen Zhiwen arrived at the company, he saw that Guo Henian was already waiting for him, which was earlier than their agreed time.

"I can't help it. The reporters in Hong Kong are staring at me now. I can only leave the hotel early. Fortunately, the Hilton Hotel cooperated with the cover. Otherwise, I might be discovered by some reporters when I come here." Guo Henian laughed said with a smile.

"So that's how it is." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, Hilton Hotel is best at keeping secrets for hotel customers. The management of journalists in the hotel is particularly strict.

"Chen Sheng, I know that you, like Bao Sheng, have bought many big hotel stocks. How about I buy them at 20% of the current market price?" Guo Henian said.

"Have you bought the stocks in Bao Yugang's hands?" Chen Zhiwen asked, "Yes, I also bought the stocks in his hands at the same price." Guo Henian said.

"Then you really want to buy the big hotel?" Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, "Okay, I can sell it to you at this price."

The strategy he and Bao Yugang set up at the beginning was to carry out a feint attack on the big hotel and actually attack the China Power Group. With the doubling of the land price, the stock price of the big hotel group has also risen considerably. Even if it is only used as an investment, you can still make a lot of money. In addition, because of the acquisition, the stock price of the big hotel has already risen sharply. 20%, then your own investment can really be regarded as a high return.

"Thank you very much. With the stocks in the hands of the two of you, I am much more confident." Guo Henian said with a smile: "The Kadoorie family only owns 12% of the stocks of big hotels. In this way, I will become a bigger hotel owner than them." To be a big shareholder."

"The only problem is the stocks in the Liang family's hands. Whoever can buy the stocks in their hands now will win." Chen Zhiwen continued.

Those who have a little understanding of the history of Hong Kong's commercial wars may know that in 1985, when Bao Yugang was about to acquire Wheelock, the world knew that the real major shareholder of Wheelock was the Zhang Yuliang family.

The hotel group is actually the same. The Kadoorie family is actually the second largest shareholder, and the first is a family surnamed Liang.

"I have already made an appointment with this client, Mr. Liang Zhonghao. He has 20% of the shares in the hotel. As long as he is dealt with, the hotel will be fine." Guo Henian said with a smile.

"The relationship between the Liang family and the Kadoorie family is pretty good. How do you plan to convince him?" Chen Zhiwen asked with a smile. They had never contacted the Liang family because they were only preparing to attack the Grand Hotel before. However, since the Liang family will The management of the Grand Hotel has been given to the Kadoorie family, and they still trust them very much.

"The core of the Kadoorie family has been placed in CLP Power in recent years. Actually, the Liang family has already had opinions, but it's not easy for them to fall out. As long as my price is high enough, I think it should not be a problem." Guo Henian laughed Said.

"Indeed, then I hope that Guo Sheng can achieve his wish as soon as possible." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, Guo Henian has developed in Southeast Asia all his life, and he can win the title of "World Sugar King". The Kadoorie family, whose power has been greatly weakened by the oil crisis, is not necessarily his opponent.

"If it succeeds this time, if Chen Sheng is interested, Chen Sheng can also invest in me as a shareholder after I take over the hotel. Anyway, according to Hong Kong law, I only have a maximum of 34.9% of the shares." Guo Henian said with a smile .

"Okay, no problem." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "However, because of Baosheng's purpose, this time the acquisition of the big hotel can only be done by Guo Sheng himself. As far as I know, Kadoorie went to HSBC yesterday. Got a loan."

"Don't worry, Chen Sheng, I've made preparations, you just have to wait and watch the show." Guo Henian said confidently.

"Well, I'll just wait and watch the show." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

Although Guo Henian is not very powerful in Hong Kong, his ability to rise in Southeast Asia and become a local down payment is undoubtedly unquestionable, and there must be no shortage of relevant talents. In addition to sufficient funds, there must be a large bank consortium in Southeast Asia behind him. Hotel, shouldn't be a problem.

Moreover, this is also a process for him to prove his ability. With Chen Zhiwen and Bao Yugang buying about 14% of the big hotel stocks before, if he still can't figure it out, how can he invest in Hong Kong?

Because of the current high stock price, Kadoorie and Guo Henian did not continue to buy in the stock market, but used their own relationships to try to persuade other shareholders to either sell their shares to themselves, or promise other benefits to support themselves.

Chen Zhiwen didn't know the details, and there was no need to ask. He had already obtained some benefits, so he just waited.

The time is fast approaching mid-July.

It has been half a month since Guo Henian officially publicly acquired the Grand Hotel. During this time, the stock of the Grand Hotel Group has been very strange. Sometimes it soars to the sky, and sometimes it falls like a waterfall. When the news came out, one party gave up, and various rumors continued to spread everywhere in the stock market, and it was hard to distinguish between true and false for a while.

One day at noon, Bao Yugang came to the Hilton Hotel again. Because there was no harassment from reporters, Guo Henian had been living here all this time. It goes without saying that Chen Zhiwen is the owner of the property here, so it is normal to come here. Besides, Hilton has long had a suite in store for him, too.

"Both of you, I want to tell you some good news. Liang Zhonghao is willing to sell half of his shares to me. In this way, the shares in my hands will exceed 25%." Hu Yingxiang, who went to the mainland to deal with investment matters, Several members of the Taishan Society are also all, and Guo Henian shared the good news.

"He still has 10% in his hand, so is he willing to vote for you at the shareholders' meeting?" Bao Yugang asked.

Guo Henian shook his head and said: "He is not willing, because the relationship between the Liang family and the Kadoorie family is very good. At the beginning, he didn't even want to see me. It was because I gave him certain benefits in Southeast Asia that he agreed to the transaction.

But no matter what conditions I offer, he is only willing to sell half of the shares, otherwise, the acquisition will basically win. "

"He probably doesn't want to put all his eggs in one basket, whether it's Hong Kong or Southeast Asia." Chen Zhiwen analyzed.

As time moves towards the 1980s, many people in Hong Kong are considering whether to immigrate. For some middle-class families in Hong Kong, this is an alternative choice, but for the super rich, it is a question of distribution. This is also the 1980s It belongs to the golden age of investing in Hong Kong.

"No matter what, your shareholding has far surpassed that of the big hotel group. Next, as long as you get another 34.9% of the shares, you need to find a way to hold a general meeting of shareholders and let all shareholders vote for you. Only in this way can the acquisition be considered a real success." Bao Yugang thought for a while and said.

This is also a very unfriendly policy towards "hostile takeover" nowadays. When it reaches 34.9%, the takeover cannot be done, and then it must rely on the general meeting of shareholders to obtain the company's management rights. Management is more difficult.

"I have been preparing for this for a long time. My people are already contacting some shareholders and giving them enough benefits to let them vote for me at that time." Guo Henian said.

"What is the Kadoorie family doing recently? Apart from buying in the stock market?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"It's the same, trying to convince all shareholders, but there are so many shareholders, he can't convince everyone. As long as I can get an additional 15%, that's enough. As long as the money is in place, there will be no difficulties." Guo Henian laughed.

"That means another 10% needs to be acquired. How do you plan to acquire it?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"To cut the mess quickly, I'm going to buy it directly in the stock market tomorrow at a high price in cash, 70 Hong Kong dollars per share, and only 500 million Hong Kong dollars is enough." Guo Henian said.

"500 million? Isn't this price too high?" Bao Yugang said with a frown.

"Actually, it's acceptable. The location of the Peninsula Hotel itself is very good. In addition, there are also a large number of properties under the big hotel. If you really get it developed, you can still make money." Guo Henian thought for a while, and then asked: "What does Chen Sheng think?" ? '
