Chapter 190 The Battle of the Bulls (7K chapters, please subscribe~)

  1972, Monday, October 30th!

  All newspaper headlines in Xiangjiang today published a statement issued by Landmark, and it was this statement that shocked the entire Hong Kong stock market!

   Hong Kong Land will entrust Jardine Fu and Huo Duoli as financial advisors to exchange two Hong Kong Land shares with a par value of HK$5 for one Dairy Milk Company stock with a par value of HK$7.5, that is, to acquire Milk Ice Factory Co., Ltd. in a stock-for-share manner.

In addition, Hongkong Land stated that based on the closing price of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on October 27, 1972, Hongkong Land was 94 Hong Kong dollars per share, and Milk Company was 135 Hong Kong dollars per share. The capital value of the company's shareholders will increase by 40%.

  Landmark’s statement was like pouring a pot of cold water into a pan of oil, and instantly blew up the entire Xiangjiang stock market.

  Cao Yunshang drove the car at a fast speed all the way to Chu Huan's apartment.

   Chu Huan, who was eating breakfast, saw Cao Yunshang who was out of breath, and Chu Huan asked, "Have you eaten?"

  Cao Yunshang was in the mood to eat right now. He took a picture of the newspaper in his hand on Chu Huan's table, and said anxiously, "Landmark really bought the milk company."

  There is endless ecstasy in the voice.

  Chu Huan's guess turned out to be true. Now Landmark is really planning to acquire the milk company. The interests represented behind this cannot but make Cao Yunshang feel happy for Chu Huan.

   "I'll cook a bowl of egg noodles for you. How about less noodles and more meat?"

  Chu Huan remained calm.

   "Aren't you excited? This means that the market value of the stocks of the two companies you bought before will at least double!" Cao Yunshang couldn't understand why Chu Huan was still so calm at this time.

  Chu Huan really didn't do this to pretend to be aggressive, it's just that something that he knew would happen happened, so there is really no need to be so excited.

  Pressing Cao Yunshang on the chair, Chu Huan went to the kitchen, turned on the stove, and started cooking noodles for Cao Yunshang.

   "What's so exciting about this? Didn't I already tell you at the beginning that Hongkong Land's acquisition of the milk company is already doomed. Since I have already guessed this matter, why are I still excited now!"

   "As for money, it's nothing more than a string of numbers!". This sentence is purely for pretense!

Seeing Chu Huan's performance like this, Cao Yunshang could only ask the heavens speechlessly, but he still took the newspaper and said seriously: "But this time the land acquisition is a thief, and you don't plan to use cash to buy it, but use it to exchange shares for shares. To control the milk company in such a way, this is obviously playing the empty glove white wolf routine!"

"It must be a white wolf with empty gloves." Chu Huan put the noodles into the pot, then turned on another stove, poured oil in the pot, fried eggs, and continued: "Henry Keswick has great ambitions. Now The global economy is growing rapidly, and Henry Keswick naturally wants to seize this opportunity to continue expanding their power.

  Since this is the case, they naturally hope to exchange the smallest price for the greatest benefit! "

  Cao Yunshang finally put down the newspaper in his hand, came to Chu Huan's side, hugged Chu Huan from behind, and asked, "Then do you think they will succeed this time?"

Chu Huan shook himself, told Cao Yunshang not to get in the way, took the fried eggs out of the pan, poured the noodles into a bowl, and finally took out luncheon meat from the refrigerator, cut two pieces, and a bowl of eggs The noodles are done.

   Served to Cao Yunshang after serving it on the table.

   "Of course it will succeed. Hongkong Land's position in Xiangjiang is too special. No one will doubt the future development prospects of Hongkong Land. On the contrary, there are too many problems on the milk company's side!"

  Cao Yunshang asked while eating noodles, "What's the problem?"

  Chu Huan glanced at Cao Yunshang, "Are you asking the question knowingly!"

  Cao Yunshang smiled and said, "I just want to hear from you!"

Chu Huan can only say: "Although the milk company has Zhou Xinian as the chairman of the board of directors and shareholders such as Hutchison International and Wheelock, their biggest problem is that they do not have a largest controlling shareholder. It's too fragmented and it's hard to get buy-in from their shareholders.

  Unless some of these shareholders want to take full control of the milk company, but in the current situation, if they do so, they will not only have to face the eager foreign enemy of land acquisition, but also find a way to deal with the company's internal competition.

  In addition, the development strategy of the milk company in the past few years is basically relying on the old capital of the past. With so many high-quality land in hand, there is no decent real estate development at all. It is nothing more than buying land to make a profit.

   Such an operation will only make those small shareholders pin their hopes on Hongkong Land, and after the share exchange, they will become shareholders of Hongkong Land.

  Landmark's status in the real estate industry in Hong Kong, needless to say? "

  Cao Yunshang nodded and said, "So, this battle won't last too long?"

  Chu Huan drank the last sip of noodle soup in his bowl, then took another sip of Coke, and burped comfortably before continuing to preach.

   "No, Zhou Xinian is not the kind of person who will be arrested without a fight, he will resist anyway, and the land of the milk company is still very attractive, so this big battle is just beginning, we just need to continue to look down."

  Cao Yunshang still preached enviously: "It seems that Landmark is really going to grow again this time!"

  "A misfortune is a blessing, a blessing is a blessing, and a disaster is a disaster. Looking at it now, after completing the acquisition of the milk company, Hongkong Land will definitely benefit a lot, but in fact this has also planted a hidden danger for this company!"

  Chu Huan preached easily.

  Cao Yunshang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "You mean there is also a problem with the land?"

  Chu Huan smiled and looked at Cao Yunshang who wanted to know the answer, and said, "If you want to know, you have to pay a price."

  Cao Yunshang gave Chu Huan a coquettish look, then got up, leaned over again, and kissed Chu Huan fiercely.

  Well, what I just ate was luncheon meat

"If Hongkong Land really succeeds in acquiring Dairy Company this time, it is destined to be recorded in the history of Xiangjiang's business wars. Without spending a single penny, it can gobble up a large-scale company such as Dairy Company. It is intended to shock everyone, but the way of exchanging shares for shares is not without hidden dangers.

Such a result will cause Hongkong Land's stock to be scattered in the hands of many small shareholders, and the result will naturally be that Jardine Land's control over Landmark has been weakened. In the midst of a hard fight! "

  Chu Huan got paid, so he naturally paid back.

After Cao Yunshang listened to it, it suddenly dawned on her that this was actually not a difficult thing to think about, but at this time, Cao Yunshang and those other melon-eaters were all focusing on the acquisition of the milk company by Hongkong Land, so Other things are ignored.

   After the dust settles on this matter, someone will naturally think of this.

"But it is not so easy to acquire Hong Kong Land. As the most influential real estate company in Hong Kong, behind him is a top consortium like Jardine. Even if someone wants to acquire it, it is estimated that even the Hong Kong government will It's going to be a shock!"

  Cao Yunshang also has her own ideas.

  Chu Huan smiled, "That will be a few years later, it's too early to think about it now."

   Cao Yunshang thought about it for a while, and this is indeed the truth.

   After the two had breakfast, they went to Fengwu Securities together. When the two arrived at Fengwu Securities, Liu Zhiyuan immediately ran over excitedly.

   "Young Master Huan, this time we made a lot of money!"

  Obviously, he already knew about Hongkong Land's acquisition of the milk company.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "How, how much have the stock prices of the two companies increased now?"

Liu Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "The stock prices of the two companies have risen a lot now. As soon as the news came out, the stock price of Milk Company opened at 188 Hong Kong dollars as soon as the stock market opened, which was a full 48 Hong Kong dollars higher than the closing price on Friday. Although the stock price is not as high as that of Milk Company, it is still good!"

   At this time, Liu Zhiyuan's admiration for Chu Huan had reached an unbelievable level. Chu Huan was able to predict the occurrence of this incident a few months ago and made arrangements in advance.

   How far-sighted is this?

   "Young Master Huan, shall we become Hongkong Land's shareholders by exchanging shares for shares, or shall we sell all these shares?"

  Because of the admiration for Chu Huan, Liu Zhiyuan can no longer make up his own mind, and listens to Chu Huan.

  Although Hong Kong Land acquired the milk company through a stock-for-share exchange, he himself was not prepared to spend real money.

  However, there are many people in Xiangjiang who want to become shareholders of Hongkong Land. Chu Huan can become a minority shareholder in Hongkong Land if the shares in the milk company with a market value of 20 million Hong Kong dollars are exchanged for Hongkong Land shares.

   It's tempting.

  So Chu Huan didn't have to worry about the stocks in his hands being unaccepted.

   "Of course they were all sold. Now the stock prices of the two companies are inflated because of this acquisition. We naturally sold them at the peak."

  Chu Huan understood that at this time, he had no way to covet such a giant as Landmark. As Chu Huan said just now, even if Chu Huan had enough funds in his hands, the Hong Kong government would not allow it.

  Jardines, Landmark, is Guilao's front in Xiangjiang, it is impossible for a Chinese to take control so easily.

  Buying and selling stocks is nothing more than buying low and selling high, but how to control this speed is not something everyone can master.

   Unless you are the one who makes the rules, no one can avoid the fate of being a leek.

  Although Chu Huan can't formulate rules yet, Chu Huan can use his prophetic ability to dissociate from the rules.

   "Then what is the right time for us to sell the stock price?" Liu Zhiyuan continued to ask.

   "Wait, I need to look again." Chu Huan didn't give an accurate answer, because in Chu Huan's memory, the battle was full of ups and downs, and there were some things that he could use.

   And this will bring even greater benefits to Chu Huan!

   "I will notify you when it is time to sell!"

  Although he didn't get an accurate answer, Liu Zhiyuan left happily.

  After Liu Zhiyuan left Cao Yunshang's office, Chu Huan said to Cao Yunshang: "I have something to find my uncle, do you want to go there together?"

  The uncle Chu Huan mentioned was naturally Cao Yunshang's father.

   "Let's go together, I also want to see what kind of plans you have!" Cao Yunshang immediately picked up her bag and spoke excitedly.

Outsiders say that Chu Huan was able to make a good turnaround at the beginning of his business, thanks to the help of Cao Wenjin, but Cao Yunshang understands how Chu Huan made it all the way, and he has never found himself in business. father to help.

  Now that Chu Huan is actually going to find his father, it is clear that Chu Huan has other plans in mind.

   Chu Huan smiled, and the two left Fengwu Securities again and came to Wanbang Aviation.

   "A Huan, is this your first time visiting our company?"

  In Cao Wenjin's office, the most eye-catching thing is the rudder placed in the middle.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Isn't this worried about affecting your uncle's plan to run Wanbang Aviation Industry!"

  Cao Wenjin finally made a decision to list Wanbang Aviation this month.

   "The two of you came here together today, so you're here to show off?" Cao Wenjin joked, "Ah Huan, you have accurately predicted the acquisition of the milk company by Landmark."

  Chu Huan said: "It's just luck."

  Looking at Chu Huan's young appearance, Cao Wenjin was quite moved. Thinking back to when he was at this age, he was still studying in school. How could Chu Huan's current achievements be achieved.

The acquisition of the milk company by Hong Kong Land will greatly increase Chu Huan's wealth again. It turns out that Cao Wenjin estimated that according to Chu Huan's ability, it would take a few years to catch up with the Cao family. Looking at it now, I am afraid that when Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang get married, it will be hard to say who will win and who will lose in terms of financial resources.

   "Okay, let's get down to business. You came here at this time, I know you're definitely not here to show off." Cao Wenjin smiled.

  Cao Yunshang gave his father a blank look, and just now said he was here to show off!

   "Uncle was joking, there is nothing to show off about this matter, but this time I came to see Uncle, I really want to discuss something with Uncle!"

   Chu Huan preached.

  Cao Wenjin nodded and said, "Tell me!"

"That's it!" Chu Huan considered his vocabulary, and then said: "Now that Hongkong Land has started the acquisition of the milk company, I want to know a few things. battle."

"If Zhou Xinian really wants to fight this battle, then he needs the shares of the milk company in your hand, and you can also sell these shares at a higher price!" Cao Wenjin guessed Chu Huan's thoughts .

  In this takeover battle in another time and space, Zhou Xinian did fight Henry Keswick a few times, but when Chu Huan was watching this case, he always felt that Zhou Xinian did not do his best to resist this takeover.

   Is Zhou Xinian feeling powerless with this acquisition, or is he already disappointed with Xiangjiang's business community?

  Chu Huan didn't know, so Chu Huan wanted to see if Zhou Xinian would have some ideas if he had the 20 million Hong Kong dollars worth of milk company stock in his hands?

   "If there is the first one, there will be the second one. Let's talk about your second one!" Cao Wenjin continued to speak.

It was obviously you who interrupted him just now. Chu Huan continued to laugh and said, "The second thing is naturally to trouble Uncle to chat with Qi Dezun. Hutchison International is a shareholder of the Milk Company, and Qi Dezun should also have some interest in the Milk Company. "

   Hutchison International and Jardine Matheson are both the four major British-funded consortiums, but they are certainly not harmonious with each other, and there are many open and secret fights.

   What's more, Qi Dezun, like Henry Keswick, is an enterprising person. If he can get the milk company, for Qi Dezun, it is the best time to expand his strength.

   "The last thing is that I want my uncle to ask if there is any real estate company in Xiangjiang that is interested in the milk company. As long as the price is right, I can also sell my shares to them!"

  However, whether it is Zhou Xinian or Qi Dezun, Chu Huan has no contact with them, so Chu Huan found Cao Wenjin this time, and hoped that Cao Wenjin would come forward and help him find out these two things.

   Cao Wenjin laughed loudly after hearing what Chu Huan said, and said: "You are planning to make these companies in Xiangjiang a mess!"

  Chu Huan shrugged his shoulders, and said relaxedly: "The more lively the fight, the better, so that the stocks in my hand will be more valuable!"

The shares of Milk Company are really attractive at this time. In fact, even those companies that do not want to control Milk Company can also use this to become shareholders of Hongkong Land. Although the proportion is not large, it is better than nothing. The most important thing is that they can have a Great start.

   "Okay, I will help you with this matter, but it will take a while. Are you sure that the bull war can last for such a long time?"

  Cao Wenjin didn't think much about it, so he directly agreed to Chu Huan's request.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Now it's just that Zhi has just made a move. The milk company hasn't fought back yet. I believe they will fight for a while, but uncle had better hurry up, and it's best not to exceed a week!"

  Cao Wenjin nodded slightly, and said, "No problem!"

"Thank you, Uncle!" Chu Huan thanked sincerely, and then added: "There is one more thing, and that is, I hope more people will not know about this matter. Know that I am doing this behind the scenes!"

  Cao Wenjin immediately understood what Chu Huan meant. Now Chu Huan has been working hard to create a character whose cash flow will soon be cut off, in order to paralyze Chu Tianxiao.

  If it is reported that Chu Huan still holds 20 million shares of the Milk Company with a market value of 20 million, it will ruin all of Chu Huan's previous plans.

After thinking for a while, Cao Wenjin said: "If this is the case, then it is not appropriate for me to come forward. Everyone knows our relationship. Although no one will guess that it is you, it is still inevitable that people will be suspicious. "

  Glancing at Chu Huan, Cao Wenjin suddenly smiled and said, "But you don't have to worry, I've already thought of this candidate. If he comes forward, no one will guess it's you!"

   "Yes?" Chu Huan asked suspiciously.

"Guo Henian from Malaysia!" Cao Wenjin slowly spit out a name, and said with a smile: "I have an inseparable relationship with this person, and he has nothing to do with you. If he comes forward, no one will think of you." on my body!"

   Facing Cao Wenjin who is so considerate, Chu Huan can only express his gratitude again.

  Guo Henian is an outrageously low-key person who almost never shows up in public. Chu Huan is also very curious about this person.

  However, at this time, Guo Henian had not yet entered the Xiangjiang market, and his reputation in Xiangjiang was not obvious. It really marked that Guo Henian entered the Xiangjiang market in 1974. At that time, Guo Henian established Kerry Trading Co., Ltd. in Xiangjiang.

   In 1976, Guo Henian even moved the headquarters of the Guo family in Kuala Lumpur to Xiangjiang.

  The following year, Guo Henian built a five-star hotel Shangri-La with 720 rooms in Xiangjiang!

   After chatting with Cao Wenjin and getting the answer he wanted, Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang left Wanbang Aviation.

  Hong Kong's acquisition of a milk company has attracted the attention of the whole of Hong Kong, and Chu Tianxiao is no exception.

  Especially now that Chu Tianxiao has also slowly shifted his career focus to the real estate industry.

   Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Chu Tianxiao sighed.

   "Daddy, what's the matter?" Chu Ran asked curiously upon seeing this.

  Chu Tianxiao sighed: "The world is impermanent. I never thought that such a behemoth as the Milk Company would have the fate of being acquired one day!"

  Chu Ran chuckled, and said, "What did I think it was? It turned out to be this matter, but now Landmark has just announced the launch of the acquisition, so it's not certain whether it will succeed in the end!"

  Chu Tianxiao glanced at Chu Ran with dissatisfaction, and reprimanded: "What do you know, is this what I sigh?"

  Just now you clearly said that, Chu Ran shrank her neck, and said obediently: "Then what are you thinking, Daddy?"

Chu Tianxiao said with regret: "What I regret is that I didn't know about this matter earlier. If we could know about this matter earlier, we can definitely spend a sum of money to buy the milk company's stock in advance. If If so, we can now become shareholders of Hongkong Land.

  If you can become a shareholder of Hongkong Land, it will be very beneficial to the development of Huhua Real Estate. "

Chu Ran tentatively said: "This is indeed correct, but the acquisition of the Milk Company must have been kept very secret before Landmark. I think that apart from those few core figures, even the other high-level executives of Landmark did not. probably know.

  So I think this kind of thing happened, it happened, it has nothing to do with us, and it has nothing to do with other people, after all, it is the matter of these two companies. "

  Chu Tianxiao raised his forehead slightly, and still agreed with what Chu Ran said.

   "That's true, but this incident also taught us a lesson!"

   "What lesson?" Chu Ran didn't understand the matter between Hongkong Land and Milk Company, so what to do with them.

   "The reason why the milk company is listed in the land is because they don't have their own controlling shareholders, and the equity distribution is too scattered. When the company develops in the future, we must avoid such things from happening."

  Chu Tianxiao preached firmly.

  According to Chu Tianxiao's plan, Jiahu Textile has at least two or three plans to issue new shares from this year to the middle of next year, which will inevitably dilute the proportion of everyone's shareholding in Jiahu Textile.

  Even in this era, issuing new shares is a very complicated process.

  Take Chu Huan as an example.

  Chu Tianxiao issued new shares, what Chu Huan asked was as long as he could maintain the same proportion of existing shares in Jiahu Textile as all major shareholders.

  So in this process, Chu Huan needs to acquire some of the shares of the private placement.

  This type of stock will not appear in the trading market.

   That is to say, ordinary people have no way to buy it.

  But at the same time, some stocks will flow into the trading market. This part is actually a redistribution of a shareholding ratio of the original shareholders.

   To put it simply, for Chu Huan, there are both sacrifices and gains.

But for Chu Huan at this time, the pay is always more than the gain, but with the return of funds, Jiahu Textile's business expansion will also increase the stock price of Jiahu Textile again, and Chu Huan's contribution will also be in the market. This part of the fixed assets above has been supplemented.

   Lost cash and gained assets in invisible stock appreciation.

   Of course, there are more detailed rules, but there is no need to mention them one by one.

   "By the way, do you know why Zhang Chengzhong left Xiangjiang suddenly?" Chu Tianxiao suddenly thought of Zhang Chengzhong and asked Chu Ran.

  Chu Ran shook his head and said: "I didn't find out, but what is certain is that Zhang Chengzhong must have suffered a loss, and he was depressed when he left."

Chu Tianxiao thought for a while, and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter if he leaves Xiangjiang or not, but we must pay close attention to our cooperation with Zhang Mingyi. It's almost the end of the year, and there will definitely be a large amount of land acquired by then." It came out for auction, and now the real estate market in Xiangjiang is booming.

  Many real estate companies choose to go public at this time, all in order to gather more funds. There will be a big battle at the end of the year! "

  The reason why Chu Tianxiao chose to cooperate with Zhang Mingyi at the beginning was the overseas trust bank founded by Zhang Mingyi. A real estate company cannot do without the support of the bank if it wants to become bigger and stronger.

  So even if he knew that the cooperation with Zhang Mingyi was to seek skin from a tiger, Chu Tianxiao had to cooperate with him.

  Chu Ran asked: "Then why don't I go to Malaysia to care about Zhang Chengzhong?"

  The connection with Zhang Mingyi naturally has Chu Tianxiao to do this, what Chu Ran has to do is to continue to maintain a good relationship with Zhang Chengzhong.

Chu Tianxiao glanced at Chu Ran helplessly, "You just said that he left Xiangjiang in despair, so he must have encountered something embarrassing in Xiangjiang. Do you think it is appropriate for you to go there at this time? ?”

  Chu Ran smiled awkwardly.

  Chu Tianxiao really hates Shang Keru at this time. If she doesn't make trouble, he might be able to have a son with the Miss Wu he likes if he works hard.

  I am now in my prime, and I can properly raise my second son, so I don’t have to face Chu Ran every day.

   "Forget it, don't worry about the Zhang family's affairs, you can go to Zhang Chengzhong after a while!"

  Chu Ran immediately nodded to show that there is no problem.

  Chu Tianxiao's gaze once again fell on the statement in the newspaper that Landmark acquired the milk company.

   I regret it. If I could know this news in advance, even if I don’t become a shareholder of Hongkong Land, I can still sell my stocks at a high price at this time, so I won’t need to use overseas trust loans!

   Not today, the next chapter is 12 am~
