Chapter 491 What exactly is Chu Huan going to do (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  When the acquisition of Wheelock was still pending, the news that Chu Huan was going to acquire the shares of Changshi Hefu was placed on the desks of the four executives of Jardine, Swire, Wheelock, and Hehe International.

  Jardines headquarters!

  Jardines Taipan Niu Bijian urgently called Bao Fuda, the general manager of Hongkong Land, to his office!

   "Chu Huan wants to buy Changshi Hefu's shares, what do you think about this matter?"

   At this moment, Niu Bijian realized that he couldn't figure out what Chu Huan was thinking.

  Hefu and Jardine currently hold mutual cross-holding. Jardine holds 34.07% of Hefu and is the largest shareholder of Hefu. At the same time, Hefu holds 5% of Landmark and 3% of Wharf.

   And now Chu Huan actually bought the shares of Hefu from Changshi, which is 22.15% of Hefu.

   Is this what to do?

"It's no secret that Chu Huan is interested in Jardine, but it doesn't make sense for him to want the shares of Hefu now. Although everyone is buying Wheelock and Fung, they are competitors, but I think Taikoo, Hehe International, Wheelock, and HSBC will not agree that Chu Huan has the right to speak in Hefu!"

  Bao Fuda also couldn't understand what Chu Huan was doing now. No matter how he looked at it, Chu Huan's acquisition of Hefu could only be a failure.

  But it was Chu Huan who did this.

   At this time in Xiangjiang, no one would think that Chu Huan would do something meaningless.

   "Could it be that what Chu Huan wants is absolute control of Qingzhou Yingni, just like other companies under his name, to delist Qingzhou Yingni as a privatization?"

  Niu Bijian thought of a possibility.

  Bao Fuda shook his head and said: "This is also impossible. With Chu Huan's shares in Hefu, since he can't get the absolute right to speak, it is impossible for Hefu to sell Qingzhou Yingni's shares to him!"

   "Then what exactly is Chu Huan going to do?"

  Niu Bijian was in a state of madness at this time, and Chu Huan's unreasonable way of playing cards made him completely unable to see through Chu Huan's thoughts.

   Bao Fuda looked at Niu Bijian's slightly crazy look, and said: "Then what should we do? Should we take back the shares of Landmark and Wharf controlled by Hefu?"

  No matter what, since Changshi has already told everyone the news, Changshi must be selling Hefu shares.

In the future, Chu Huan will be one of the shareholders of Hefu, so as long as the two parties are in the same company, they will inevitably have intersections with Chu Huan. Before knowing what Chu Huan is thinking, such behavior is very dangerous. .

   Niu Bijian naturally understood this, but he also had his own difficulties.

"First of all, if we withdraw the shares, we will lose the right to speak in Qingzhou Yingni. If Chu Huan takes over at that time, he may really delist Qingzhou Yingni and privatize it. At that time, Hesha will be controlled by Huo The tsar controls, the cement is controlled by Chu Huan, our lifeblood is really in their hands.

  Secondly, if the shares of Hongkong Land and Wharf are redeemed, who will bear the losses? "

Faced with Niu Bijian's question, Bao Fuda also fell into Chen Si, especially now that Jardine Heights has already put his business focus on real estate. If the river sand and cement all rely on Huo Tsar and Chu Huan, they will be in the same place by then. These two places casually do something.

   It can make the two major wings of Jardine Matheson, Wharf, go around without eating!

   Moreover, it is not so easy to recover the shares of Hongkong Land and Wharf.

  Exchanging cash for shares in Hongkong Land and Wharf?

   Now the stock price of Qingzhou Yingni has dropped a lot according to when they bought it before. If it is withdrawn now, it will be a living loss.

  Niu Bijian and Bao Fuda, although one is the taipan of Jardine and the other is the general manager of Hongkong Land, but to put it bluntly, they are two wage earners.

  Can the Keswick family accept such a loss?

   What's more, the other companies may not necessarily agree to the sale of the shares of Hongkong Land and Wharf by Hefu.

   "Don't we do anything?" Bao Fuda couldn't help asking.

  Niu Bijian said helplessly: "Now I think we can't do anything but watch when we don't understand Chu Huan's true intention!"

   Bao Fuda suddenly felt a little crazy, "What exactly is Chu Huan going to do?"

.

   "Yes, what exactly is Chu Huan going to do?"

  In the Swire headquarters, Shi Huaiya and his son were also analyzing the purpose of Chu Huan's action this time.

  Shi Yadi couldn't help asking: "Chu Huan probably wants the shares of Swire and Jardine in Hefu's hands?"

  Shi York Shi Huaiya shook his head and said: "Impossible, if this is the case, we and Yihe will definitely not agree. As long as our two families disagree, Chu Huan will not be able to succeed!"

   Swire and Jardine hold 55.86% of the shares in Hefu. No matter how Chu Huan operates, as long as the two of them stand firmly together, it is impossible for Chu Huan to get the shares of their company.

   "And it's not just us, HSBC, Wheelock, and Hehe International will not agree!"

  John Shi also analyzed.

   "So what exactly is Chu Huan going to do?"

  Shi Yadi scratched her head and couldn't help asking.

   Shi York, Shi Yuehan and his son looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes!

.

   "Whatever he does, as long as it doesn't delay our sale of Wheelock!"

  In the headquarters of Wheelock, John Madden is also talking about this matter with his son, little Marden.

  However, compared with Jardine's Niu Bijian, Bao Fuda, and Swire's Swire family, Madden and his son don't seem to care so much about this matter.

  Chu Huan has announced his withdrawal from the Wheelock acquisition battle, which means that no matter what Chu Huan does with the acquisition of Hefu, it has nothing to do with him.

  John Madden and his son only think about one thing now, and that is to sell Wheelock at a high price.

   "Since it has nothing to do with us, father, who should we meet next?" Little Madden directly changed the topic to the sale of Wheelock.

"Qi Dezun, that old guy, was so active in acquiring Wheelock before, but now after hearing our offer, he chose to hold back just like Changshi's Li Jiacheng. When other people are willing to accept this price, let's see them Why cry!"

   When it comes to the sale of Wheelock, John Madden is angry.

  He has met Li Jiacheng from Changshi and Qi Dezun from Hehe International one after another, but both parties expressed that they could not accept the price he proposed.

   This made John Madden very unhappy.

   "Hehe International itself doesn't have much cash. In fact, from the very beginning, I don't think they have the ability to take over Wheelock. Now it's just more certain about this matter!"

  Little Madden's disdainful preaching.

  John Madden nodded and said: "Call Jardine's Niubijian, it's time for them to show their presence!"

  Little Madden nodded excitedly. In his heart, Jardine is the one who has the strength to take over Wheelock.

.

Jardines, Swire, and Wheelock all showed incomprehensible attitudes towards Chu Huan's acquisition of Changshi Hefu's shares. The only difference is that Jardines and Swire take this matter very seriously, and Wheelock did not Did not take this matter to heart.

  But unlike Hehe International, Qi Dezun called Chu Huan as soon as he found out about it.

  Chu Huan asked Qi Dezun to meet at his manor to talk about it.

  Qi Dezun did not delay. After putting down the phone, he drove to No. 12 Mount Kellett Road.

  In the reception room, Qi Dezun met Chu Huan.

"Mr. Chu, you are making a big joke. Changshi got the cash from selling Hefu shares, and with the support of HSBC, he really has the strength to compete with us at Wheelock. Even if we pay a high price in the end Buying the shares of the Madden family in Wheelock is not worth the loss for us!"

  Qi Dezun couldn't figure out why Chu Huan bought the shares of Changshi Hefu, and even if you, Chu Huan, really wanted the shares of Hefu, it shouldn't be at this time!

   "Don't be angry, Mr. Taiban, drink a cup of tea and let the air flow!" Chu Huan said with a smile.

  Wu Shuhan on the side had already brought Qi Dezun a cup of tea, and as for Chu Huan, of course his favorite iced Coke.

   Qi Dezun didn't drink tea, but couldn't help but asked: "Chu Dong, you should tell me what you think, otherwise I really can't drink your cup of tea!"

  Chu Huan chuckled softly: "How many shares of Wheelock does Hehe International hold now?"

  Qi Dezun said: "Through the equity trading in the past six months, Hehe International now holds 27.03% of Wheelock's shares."

  Chu Huan continued to ask: "So is Hehe International now the second largest shareholder of Wheelock?"

  Qi Dezun was stunned for a moment, and said: "Of course it is!"

Chu Huan laughed, and said: "That's right. Before this, everyone had a misunderstanding in their hearts. Only after they got the shares of Wheelock in the hands of the Madden family, could they truly control Wheelock. rich?"

  Qi Dezun nodded uncertainly again: "That's right!"

   This is the reality. Although John Madden is still the chairman of the board of directors of Wheelock, the real situation is that the Madden family is no longer the major shareholder of Wheelock.

   They are just the third shareholder.

  Behind Zhang Yuliang, also behind Hehe International.

  Why does everyone still think that Wheelock belongs to the Madden family?

   First of all, Wheelock was founded by George Madden, the father of John Madden. As the founder, many people think that Wheelock should belong to the Madden family.

Secondly, Wheelock is using the strategy of AB shares. Although Wheelock’s AB shares are not as exaggerated as the Ford family in Ford Motor, they directly have 40% of the decision-making power, and there is no non-tradable regulation, but they have more words The rights to the B shares are still held in the hands of Wheelock's board of directors.

  The John Madden family actually controls Wheelock’s board of directors at this stage.

In the end, the Madden family, Zhang Yuliang, and Hehe International are actually fighting each other. Although the Zhang Yuliang family is the major shareholder of Hehe International, but because they have more A shares in their hands, they do not have as much voice as the Madden family. Although Hehe International has more B-shares, it still lags behind the Madden family.

  This is why everyone believes that the Madden family is the real controller of Wheelock.

It was precisely because he wanted to understand all this, so after answering Chu Huan's question, Qi Dezun continued to speak: "What I said just now is correct, only when we get the shares of the Madden family in Wheelock, we can be regarded as real. took control of Wheelock."

  Chu Huan nodded, and said: "The misunderstanding I mentioned is not here. In other words, it is a misunderstanding for you, but it is not a misunderstanding for others."

  Qi Dezun shook his head and said, "I didn't understand what you meant!"

  Chu Huan could only explain: "Others have only one choice if they want to get Wheelock, which is to buy all the AB shares of Wheelock in the hands of the Madden family.

  But for Hehe International, there is another way to go besides this one.

   That is the stock of Wheelock in the hands of Zhang Yuliang! "

Qi Dezun felt that his thoughts suddenly became clear, and couldn't help but said: "Yes, how could I forget this point, if we can buy the shares of Wheelock held by Zhang Yuliang, it will naturally be in the words In terms of power, it surpasses the Marden family."

  But then Qi Dezun said: "No, there are still problems here!"

  Chu Huan asked with a smile: "What's the problem?"

Qi Dezun said: "First of all, Zhang Yuliang's shares in Wheelock are more than that of John Madden, which means that we have to pay a higher price for the acquisition. Secondly, there is no need for Zhang Yuliang to sell himself. The reason for holding Wheelock shares!"

  John Madden decided to sell Wheelock because of the deteriorating profits of Wheelock and the lack of optimism about the prospects of Xiangjiang.

   But Zhang Yuliang has never heard of such concerns.

  So Qi Dezun thinks that it is not very likely that he wants to acquire the shares of Wheelock held by Zhang Yuliang.

  Chu Huan smiled, and said: "I always have to try, what if it succeeds?"

  Qi Dezun didn't understand the problem Zhang Yuliang had to face at this time, but Chu Huan did.

   First of all, Zhang Yuliang is actually the same as John Madden. He is also not optimistic about Xiangjiang's prospects.

In another time and space, when Zhang Yuliang completed the full control of the assets of the Zhang family, due to some circumstances in his hometown, there was a large wave of capital smuggling in Xiangjiang, and many companies in Xiangjiang moved their registered places to other places. .

   Among them, the most far-reaching influence is HSBC and Jardine!

Before the start of the capital wave, HSBC has repeatedly stated that it is HSBC of Xiangjiang and will not take capital. Xiangjiang moved back to England.

   Jardine delisted directly from Xiangjiang.

  Dickson Group, Chow Sang Sang Group, Xie Ruilin Jewelry, Yulang International, Kowloon Bus, etc. are also included in this capital wave.

  However, Zhang Yuliang went more simply, sold the Zhang Yuliang family's shares in Wheelock to Bao Yugang, sold all the properties, and immigrated to Australia with his family.

  So Chu Huan is sure that as long as the price is right, Zhang Yuliang will definitely be willing to sell the shares of Wheelock in his hand.

  Of course, even if Zhang Yuliang doesn't want to sell, Chu Huan has a way to make him sell.

   It's just that you can't tell Qi Dezun about this kind of thing.

  Qi Dezun thought for a while, and said: "I understand, I will handle this matter!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Then please trouble Mr. Daban!"

  Qi Dezun said helplessly: "But even so, A Huan, I don't think you are buying the shares of Hefu from Changshi at this time."

  Chu Huan smiled and said, "Of course I have my own reasons!"

  The matter was a foregone conclusion, and Qi Dezun had no way to say anything. After chatting with Chu Huan for a few words about the conversation with John Madden before, he left Chu Huan's manor.

  After Qi Dezun left, Chu Huan said to Wu Shuhan: "Call those two people in!"

  Wu Shuhan nodded.

   After a while, Wu Shuhan led two people into Chu Huan's reception room, and the cramped two respectfully called out, "Young Master Huan."

  Chu Huan laughed and said: "Yutoubiao, Shezai Ming, you two haven't seen each other for a while, so you were a lot more cautious then!"

.

  Zhang Xingyetang!

  Zhang Yuliang is currently processing the documents in hand.

   Zhang Yuliang naturally knew about the rumored acquisition of Wheelock.

   Regarding this matter, Zhang Yuliang also has his own thoughts in his heart.

  If possible, Zhang Yuliang would naturally also want to acquire Wheelock.

   After all, as one of the four major foreign firms in Hong Kong, Wheelock still has a strong foundation.

   Not to mention, he himself is one of the major shareholders of Wheelock.

  But after weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Yuliang gave up this idea.

First, if I join this Wheelock acquisition battle, it will definitely cause a huge sensation in Xiangjiang. At that time, I, a little-known person in Xiangjiang, will definitely be known by the whole city because of this acquisition. .

  The whole city knows that he is not worried. What he is really worried about is being known by his family. If that is the case, all his previous efforts will be in vain.

  If the old lady establishes the company and loses money, it will definitely not be hidden.

Second, Zhang Yuliang carefully evaluated his own assets and influence. In terms of assets, it should not be a big problem to get the stocks in the hands of the Madden family. Not the slightest bit of confidence.

  Secondly, in terms of influence, I am also not qualified. Although I had some connections with the British side because of the business of western medicine, those connections are not effective in this matter.

  After having these two concerns, Zhang Yuliang gave up the idea of ​​acquiring Wheelock.

  But giving up this idea does not mean that Zhang Yuliang has no plans for this matter.

   "No matter who buys Wheelock, they should never let the real estate company take care of themselves like the Madden family!"

  Zhang Yuliang couldn't help but get a headache when he thought of this.

   But fortunately, Zhang Yuliang is the major shareholder in Lianlian Real Estate, which is his reliance.

   But this reliance is obviously insufficient.

   "Fanny, ask Manager Cheng to come to my office!" Zhang Yuliang spoke on the phone.

   His secretary Fanny's voice came from the phone: "Okay."

   Not long after, Cheng Zhitao, the general manager of Zhang Xingyetang, came to Zhang Yuliang's office.

   "How is the thing I asked you to do?"

   After Cheng Zhitao came to his office, Zhang Yuliang preached without a word of nonsense.

  Cheng Zhitao is the general manager of Zhang Xingyetang, and also Zhang Yuliang's confidant. With Cheng Zhitao's help, Zhang Yuliang manages a piece of iron bucket under the management of Zhang Xingyetang, and outsiders can't get a glimpse of the company at all.

  Cheng Zhitao knew Zhang Yuliang well. He never talked nonsense about work matters, and he never talked nonsense in private.

   "I have already understood almost everything. It can be said that the top and bottom of the Federal Real Estate are our people. Anyone who comes in will not do anything!"

  This is one of the countermeasures that Zhang Yuliang thought of. Don't worry about what the outside world looks like. The most important thing is to manage one acre of land well.

  As long as I own a piece of the iron bucket operated by Federal Real Estate, anyone who gets Wheelock needs to cooperate with me to continue to develop this company.

   "What about Real Estate Trust and Harrivan Development?"

  Real Estate Trust, United Real Estate, and Harriman Development are the three major real estate companies under Wheelock, and Zhang Yuliang has the greatest control over United Real Estate, Real Estate Trust, and Xialiwen Development!

   Sure enough, Cheng Zhitao's answer was the same, "One-third of the real estate trust is our people, and half of Xialiwen's development!"

  This result is actually pretty good, but Zhang Yuliang is still not very satisfied.

   "Speed ​​up our pace. According to my judgment, the acquisition of Wheelock will be completed in at most one or two months. We don't have much time left!"

"yes!"

   "Okay, go get busy!"

  After Cheng Zhitao left his office, Zhang Yuliang took out a piece of A4 paper from his drawer with several names written on it.

  Jardines, Swire, Hehe International, Cheung Kong, Universal, Universal, Jiaku!

  But at this time, the word 'Jiaku' has already been marked with an X by Zhang Yuliang!

   This X was drawn by Zhang Yuliang when Jiaku announced its withdrawal from the acquisition of Wheelock.

  At that time, Zhang Yuliang was relieved.

   After all, in Xiangjiang, only Chu Huan knows what he thinks.

  If Chu Huan is still in the ranks of acquiring Wheelock, Zhang Yuliang is not sure whether Chu Huan will use his weakness to deal with him.

  Up to now, Zhang Yuliang still can't figure it out, his Zhang family is so low-key in Xiangjiang, even the people inside the Zhang family don't know the situation of the Zhang family.

  How did Chu Huan know his situation so clearly.

   "How did he know about my plan?"

  Even now, after seeing Jiaku, Zhang Yuliang still couldn't help thinking this way.

  Actually, when Chu Huan’s Jiaku did not announce its withdrawal from the acquisition of Wheelock, Zhang Yuliang also thought about what he would do if Chu Huan found him at that time?

   Is it to honestly sell the shares of Wheelock to Chu Huan?

   Or take some drastic measures?

   As for the extreme means, Zhang Yuliang did not disclose to others, but Zhang Yuliang once made a phone call, and the other party on the phone was someone who specialized in assassination activities in Xiangjiang.

   Not Enough With Chu Huan's withdrawal, Zhang Yuliang never made that call again.

   Soon, Zhang Yuliang put these thoughts behind him. After all, Chu Huan has withdrawn now, and what he needs to pay attention to the most is how to fight for the greatest rights and interests for himself in the acquisition of Wheelock.

  What he told Cheng Zhitao to do just now is to ensure that there will be no internal problems. No matter who takes over Wheelock in the future, he will have the greatest say!

   And what he has to do now is to find an alliance!

  If you can find your own alliance in advance and reach a cooperation with the other party, then it will be even better.

  Thinking of this, Zhang Yuliang began to check the people he wanted to cooperate with and who had the ability to cooperate with him.

   First, Zhang Yuliang's pen fell on Si Hai.

   "This is a consortium of Sun Hung Kai, New World, Nanhai, and Huaguang Group. It has sufficient funds, but not enough influence!"

  Zhang Yuliang spent an X on Four Seas.

   But only this one was drawn, because Zhang Yuliang discovered that no matter which one of the remaining five companies is, it is very likely to get the shares in the hands of the Madden family.

   "Since I'm not sure which one I can get, I'll find the one that needs me the most!"

  Thinking of this, Zhang Yuliang put a √ under the name of Hehe International!

  After ordering the table, Zhang Yuliang was about to pick up the phone, but at this moment, the phone rang.

  Zhang Yuliang frowned slightly, a little annoyed that his actions were interrupted, but he still answered the phone immediately.

   "Which one?"

   "Zhang Sheng, I'm Qi Dezun from Hehe International, do you have time to sit down for a while?"

  Qi Dezun's voice came from the phone.

  Zhang Yuliang's disgust disappeared in an instant, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "I have time, I don't know Mr. Taiban, when are you going to meet?"

   "Of course, the sooner the better!" Qi Dezun said with a smile.

  Zhang Yuliang looked at the time and it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and said, "Then how about we meet in Xiangjiang at seven o'clock in the evening?"

   "No problem!" Qi Dezun smiled and hung up the phone!

   "It seems that this Qi Dezun wants to go with me!" Zhang Yuliang is really in a good mood now, after all, the party he wants to join forces with has contacted him on his own initiative.

  However, this good mood only lasted for less than a minute, and Zhang Yuliang's thoughts began to diverge!

  Why did Qi Dezun contact himself at this time!

   Do you want to join forces with yourself?

   Or does he want the shares of Wheelock in his hands?

   It’s not surprising that Zhang Yuliang has such an idea. Now that the Wheelock acquisition case is spreading in Xiangjiang, everyone’s attention is on John Madden and his son.

  Qi Dezun was the first acquirer to contact him, and Hehe International still had shares in Wheelock.

   "If Qi Dezun's acquisition of the shares of Wheelock held by the Madden family is blocked, then it is very likely that he will take a roundabout route and get the shares of Wheelock held by himself. In this case, Hehe International will have an absolute right to speak in Wheelock!"

  Zhang Yuliang thought of Qi Dezun's plan.

   It can also be seen that Zhang Yuliang is a very smart person.

   "Not everyone belongs to Chu Huan!"

  Zhang Yuliang spoke in a deep voice.

  Chu Huan has mastered his weakness, but Qi Dezun has not. Even if Qi Dezun is the top class of Hehe International, Zhang Yuliang is not afraid of Qi Dezun.

   "Now it depends on what you want to do!"

  After talking to himself, Zhang Yuliang dialed the phone number at home. The servant heard that it was Zhang Yuliang's call, and quickly took the phone to Guo Geng's Buddhist hall.

  Zhang Yuliang told Guo Geng obediently that he had some business matters here, so he would not go back to have dinner with Guo Geng at night.

  Guo Geng told Zhang Yuliang to pay attention to safety.

  The two mother and son hung up the phone.

   Not today, thank you everyone~
