Chapter 679 Chu Huan's Plan · Yihe (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  Nu Bijian, Bao Fuda, Bao Yugang are going crazy!

   "Who the hell? Who is it?"

  Bao Yugang sat at the headquarters of Global Shipping, on the top floor of the Prince's Building, and once again shouted out of anger.

  Samely Su Haiwen, Wu Guangzheng, the two sons-in-laws sat opposite him and didn't know how to answer his father-in-law's question.

  Just now they suddenly received news that foreign capital has entered Xiangjiang and is aggressively buying shares in Wharf in the stock market.

   "The stock price of Wharf has been suppressed just now. Now that people do this, the stock price of Wharf will definitely rise again!"

   This is what Bao Yugang is most worried about.

  The rise in Wharf stock price means that the price of Pao's acquisition of Wharf will be even higher!

  Wu Guangzheng was already a director of Wharf at this time. Although Bao Yugang was very angry at this time, he still bit the bullet and preached.

   "Daddy, it is impossible to find out the identity of the other party in a short time now. The most important thing we should do now is to decide whether to compete with the other party or not?"

  Bao Yugang felt helpless after his anger passed, and said, "Do we still have a way out?"

   This is Bao Yugang's most helpless situation now. He has used a large sum of money to become the largest shareholder of Wharf. If he cannot complete the absolute control of Wharf, then his previous acquisition will be meaningless!

  The acquisition of Wharf is the most important strategic plan for Pao in the future, because they chose Wharf to carry their global shipping abandoned ship landing plan.

  Now if they sit back and watch the other party continue to acquire Wharf stock, what is the use of their previous acquisitions?

  The Bao family didn't really just want to be a shareholder with peace of mind.

  The most important thing is that the international oil price is becoming more and more unstable and the shipping cost is decreasing. In Bao Yugang's view, there is no time for him to give up Wharf and look for a substitute!

  Simply speaking, Wharf cannot afford to lose!

"However, if we compete with the other party for the shares of Wharf, it will cost a huge amount of cash, but the company has not reserved this fund. If the company's reserve funds are used, then if something happens to the shipping side , we will be very passive.”

  Wu Guangzheng reminded helplessly.

Bao Yugang was once the richest man in Xiangjiang, but his money did not fall from the sky. He had already spent a lot of cash to buy the shares of Wharf in the hands of Chu Huan. After becoming the largest shareholder of Cang, there was no reason why Bao Yugang did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.

  He needs to raise more funds, and Bao Yugang has already thought of the source of this fund, which is to sell oil tankers for global shipping!

This year, Bao Yu was just named the world's ship king by the world's famous shipping magazine. It can be said that the scenery is infinite, but it was also this year that Bao Yu just started his decision to abandon the boat and land, and the tankers in his hand began to be sold in batches. , even willing to sell at a price below the market price.

In another time and space, Bao Yugang’s operation made everyone unable to understand. Even though everyone had already felt some feelings brought about by the oil crisis at that time, they still thought that this was just an industry cycle changes.

   But no matter what, when Bao Yugang completed the slimming of global shipping, everyone discovered the seriousness of the oil crisis, and everyone praised Bao Yugang for his foresight.

   It’s just that the sale of the oil tankers under Global Shipping is still at the stage of the written plan, so at this time, Bao Yugang can’t spend so much money to compete with the mysterious capital for the shares of Wharf.

  Su Haiwen naturally knew their current situation, and said, "Daddy, can we contact HSBC and borrow some money from them?"

   Bao Yugang is still a director of HSBC, and at the same time, these people in Bao Yugang's family have basically understood HSBC's attitude towards them.

   That is, if the Bao family wants to continue to develop in the shipping industry, they will no longer provide loans for this part of the business, but if it is for other aspects, especially real estate, they are still willing to provide loans to Bao Yugang.

  Bao Yu didn't have much thought just after hearing it, and immediately called Roy Bentley's office, and mentioned that Bao wanted to borrow part of the loan from HSBC.

   "Mr. Bao is one of our HSBC's most honored partners. Now that Mr. Bao has encountered a problem, we at HSBC are naturally duty-bound!"

  Received Roy Bentley's reply, Bao Yugang was very grateful in his heart, and said: "For HSBC's help, we, Bao, will never forget it!"

   "I wonder how much money Mr. Bao wants to borrow this time?"

   Roy Bentley asked aloud.

   "300 million Hong Kong dollars!" After thinking for a while, Bao Yugang replied directly: "But this is only the initial funds. If I need more in the future, I will call Mr. Roy again!"

   Now Bao Yugang has not figured out what the mysterious foreign capital is going to do, so he just put forward a minimum guarantee level of cash demand, but also left himself a way out.

  Roy Bentley said with a smile without hesitation: "No problem, Mr. Bao can send someone over to deal with some procedural problems!"

   "Thank you, Mr. Taiban!"

Then Bao Yugang hung up the phone, and said to Su Haiwen, Wu Guangzheng: "HSBC has promised to provide a loan of 300 million yuan, Ah Zheng, you should contact Sun Hung Kai Securities immediately, if that mysterious foreign capital continues to buy Wharf stock , we can only carry on with each other!"

  Su Haiwen and Wu Guangzheng were relieved to hear that HSBC was willing to provide loans. Wu Guangzheng even replied: "Okay, I will go to Sun Hung Kai Securities now!"

   Then Bao Yugang instructed Su Haiwen again: "Go to HSBC and go through the procedural matters!"

"clear!"

.

  HSBC!

  Roy Bentley, who had just hung up on Bao Yugang's phone call, was beaming at this moment. They had just agreed to grant a loan to Jardine before, and now it is Bao Yugang again.

  Although the two parties are competing for Wharf stocks, this does not involve the interests of HSBC. They are now sitting on the Diaoyutai, looking like a fisherman is profiting!

  Shen Bi sat opposite Roy Bentley, with a smile on his face.

   "It seems that everything is in our expectation now!"

  Roy Bentley nodded and said with a smile: "At this critical moment, Bao Yugang is still more willing to trust us HSBC than Chu Huan. It seems that what Chu Huan did before was for nothing!"

  Now it is no secret that it is Chu Huan who sold the shares of Wharf to Bao Yugang, helping him become the major shareholder of Wharf.

  That's why at the beginning, Bao Fuda was sure that HSBC would definitely help them.

Shen Bi nodded, and said somewhat reservedly: "After all, HSBC is still the largest bank in Xiangjiang. Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch entered Xiangjiang for the first time, and Chu Huan's failure to acquire a local bank made many people He doubts Chu Huan's ability in the financial industry, so Bao Yugang chose us at this time is his most correct choice!"

  Roy Bentley nodded slightly, and asked Shen Bi: "What do you think is the origin of that mysterious foreign capital? Why did it suddenly attack Wharf?"

Shen Bi analyzed: "The development momentum of Xiangjiang is very good now, and the situation in the north is gradually becoming clearer. Foreign investors are also willing to regard Xiangjiang as a springboard to look at the north, so it is very understandable for foreign capital to enter the Xiangjiang market. What is it, I really don’t know now!”

  The funds came so quickly and so mysteriously that even HSBC has not been able to figure out what the source of this foreign capital is.

  Roy Bentley thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of a reason, and finally gave up, and said: "Now we have to see how strong the opponent is!"

  Shen Bi nodded: "Yes, but although the opponent is not a raptor, it may not be so easy to overwhelm Yihe and Bao's couple, the local snakes of Xiangjiang!"

  Roy Bentley nodded: "I think so too!"

.

"Boss, I just got the news that Bao Yugang's eldest son-in-law Su Haiwen went to HSBC. He probably borrowed a sum of money from HSBC. Immediately after that, both Jardine Matheson and Bao's had funds to enter the stock market and began to sweep up the stocks of Wharf. Because of this incident, Wharf’s share price rose from 21 Hong Kong dollars per share at the opening of the morning to 35 Hong Kong dollars per share!”

  After Wu Shuhan hung up the phone, he reported the situation outside to Chu Huan who was sitting in the study and answering the letter, while Cao Yunshang was sitting on the sofa in the study and reading a book.

After hearing Wu Shuhan's report, Cao Yunshang put down the books in his hand, and then said worriedly: "Bao Yugang actually went to HSBC, didn't he say that he hoped to borrow a sum of money from you to buy shares in Wharf ?"

  Chu Huan sat there, looking at a reply letter he had just written, and then put it aside with the letter, before speaking with a smile.

   "It doesn't matter where Bao Yugang borrowed money, as long as they can continue to drive up the stock price of Wharf!"

  Wu Shuhan said: "But if Bao Yugang can borrow money from Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch this time, can the popularity and influence of Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch be improved?"

Chu Huan sat there, and said relaxedly: "Bao Yugang has cooperated with HSBC for many years, and it was thanks to HSBC's help that he became the world's shipping king. After a few times of cooperation, the other party will really take the initiative to give up the previous friendship with HSBC and form a complete alliance with us, right?"

   Chu Huan had no doubts about Bao Yugang's behavior.

   No matter how much competition between Chu Huan and HSBC, in the end HSBC is just a bank in Xiangjiang. Although it also undertakes investment business, simply speaking, the singleness of their business also ensures their own fairness.

   But Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch is different.

   This bank belongs to Chu Huan, and behind Chu Huan there is Jiaku, the No. 1 Xiangjiang consortium covering various industries. To put it bluntly, the Xiangjiang branch of Alder Commercial Bank lacks the fairness of HSBC.

  Who is Bao Yugang?

  Chu Huan was the richest man in Xiangjiang before Chu Huan made his debut in the business world of Xiangjiang. Bao Yugang was in the shipping industry before, so he didn’t have much overlap with Chu Huan’s own business, but it’s different now. Bao Yugang is about to enter the real estate industry in Xiangjiang.

  Jialu Real Estate in Jiaku is the No. 1 real estate company in Xiangjiang. Even if such a company has given up its own residential market, it will still have the most direct competition with Bao Yugang's Wharf in the future.

  After comprehensive consideration, it is more reasonable for Bao Yugang to seek help from HSBC at this time.

  After listening to Chu Huan's explanation, both Cao Yunshang and Wu Shuhan were a little puzzled, and it was Cao Yunshang who asked, "If this is the case, then why did Bao Yugang tell you about borrowing money before?"

"It's nothing more than buying an insurance. Bao Yugang has a relationship with HSBC, and Jardine also has a relationship with HSBC." Chu Huan got up, sat next to Cao Yunshang, gently stroked Cao Yunshang's belly, and continued: "If Without the existence of Jiaku, HSBC will definitely stand firmly on Bao Yugang's side this time, because Bao Yugang's situation is too complicated.

The current situation in Xiangjiang is still very unclear, but one thing is certain, that is, it is impossible for HSBC to give up its basic position in Xiangjiang, so they must also hope to have linkage with their hometown through Bao Yugang's relationship. It is double insurance.

But now because of the emergence of Jiaku, HSBC's dominance in the Xiangjiang business world is no longer so detached, so they need more supporters around them, that's why Shu Han received the news, the relationship between HSBC and Jardine Some kind of agreement was also reached during the period, and Jardine was able to take out cash to buy Wharf's stock in the first time! "

  Multi-line investment, each takes what it needs, this is the current plan of HSBC!

  Even though HSBC moved away from Xiangjiang with the curve to save the country, HSBC still did not give up their market in Xiangjiang, but because of the existence of Bank of China, they lost their dominant position in Xiangjiang.

  But there is one thing to say, even in the era when Chu Huan was reborn, Xiangjiang people still recognize HSBC, not Bank of China!

  Heung Kong is the basic market of HSBC. No matter how difficult the international situation becomes, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, HSBC will not give up the market of Heung Kong.

  The current situation is also the same. If you want to continue to improve the prestige of HSBC in Xiangjiang, then HSBC can no longer step by step according to another time and space, and can only choose to help all.

   "In that case, will it have any impact on our plan?"

  Wu Shuhan asked Chu Huan.

This foreign capital that made everyone in Xiangjiang suspicious was naturally the funds transferred by Chu Huan in Japan. Although in another time and space, Wharf's stock price soared to more than 100 Hong Kong dollars per share, but for Chu Huan, this stock price is still a bit low.

Chu Huan wants to use the battle of Wharf to completely drain all the liquidity of Jardine and Landmark. At the same time, he must ensure that Jardine and Landmark cannot find out that they are fighting for Wharf as soon as possible. Exit early.

   This doesn't fit Chu Huan's plan!

"It won't be affected. Our goal is to increase the stock price of Wharf, and to get Jardine Matheson, Pao, and HSBC to invest more money into this battle. As long as this goal can be achieved, the intermediate process It doesn't really matter how it is!"

  Cao Yunshang then asked: "Then what about the shares of Wharf we are buying now?"

Although Chu Huan has included Bao Yugang in this matter, Chu Huan has no intention of breaking the promise that Chu Huan had agreed with Bao Yugang before. After all, things like reputation, at Chu Huan's level, Still very important.

Wu Shuhan said with a smile: "Sister Yunshang, you don't have to worry too much about it. Although the funds from Japan seem to be aggressive, they actually didn't spend much in the stock market. This time we made a precise control! "

   "Precise control?" Cao Yunshang couldn't understand Wu Shuhan's meaning for a while.

"It means that the entry of this fund must ensure that several important points cannot be crossed. First, the money enters the Xiangjiang stock market to acquire shares in Wharf, but it cannot buy too much. It must be reserved for Jardine and Bao. Let them feel that they can still acquire more shares of Wharf through acquisitions in the stock market. Second, in terms of investment, they should not be too much, although we will still sell these stocks in the future , but this business is not used to make money, but to mobilize Jardine’s funds.”

  Chu Huan's purpose is to make this takeover battle, which has been recorded in the commercial history of Xiangjiang, longer than the front in another time and space, and at the same time, let the two companies, Baos and Jardine, invest more funds.

In another time and space, it was only at the beginning of next year that Jardine discovered that Pao had never given up its coveting of Wharf, so it began to sell Jardine's shares to raise funds, and then started a protracted acquisition battle with Bao. The entire Wharf acquisition battle lasted for nearly two years before it ended. It was not until June of 1980 that the acquisition war ended with Bao's tragic victory.

   But if Chu Huan’s plan is to be fulfilled, another space-time takeover battle will not be enough in terms of duration or the amount of money invested by both parties.

  That's why Chu Huan will let Japanese funds enter Xiangjiang's stock market now, completely muddying the water.

  When both of them have invested a lot of money into this battlefield, even if they want to withdraw at that time, it will be impossible.

.

  As arranged by Chu Huan, the share price of Wharf began to soar, from 21 Hong Kong dollars per share to 35 Hong Kong dollars per share, and from 35 US dollars per share to 57 Hong Kong dollars per share.

   Exceeded the previous highest stock price of Wharf!

  But at this time, the mysterious foreign capital suddenly withdrew from the acquisition war, coming in a hurry and leaving suddenly, except for the Wharf stock that was acquired by them, it seemed that this fund had never appeared in Xiangjiang.

Faced with such a result, both Jardine and Pao breathed a sigh of relief. After all, at this time, neither of them is sure enough to raise their shares in Wharf to an absolute controlling position. They need time, and at the same time More funding is also needed.

   Now that the other party suddenly withdraws, it means that both of them can take a break for a while.

  The slowdown came in October, but to their surprise, the share price of Wharf did not fall much, and it was still hovering at the price of HK$50 per share.

Such a discovery made neither of them understand why this happened at the first time, but this kind of doubt did not last long, and soon they figured it out, not only they figured it out, but these people in the Xiangjiang business community I also want to understand.

   "This time I really lost my wife and lost my army!"

At the Wuyuehui, Chu Huan, Huo Zhenting, Feng Yongfa, Zheng Jiachun, Zhao Shizeng, Michael Kadori, Guo Bingxiang, and Tang Yunian gathered together again, and this time they gathered together because they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so Sitting together and getting together, the conversation is naturally the most lively news in Xiangjiang now about the Wharf acquisition battle.

   "A Huan, your network in Japan is strong enough, do you know which company the mysterious Japanese funds belong to?" Guo Bingxiang looked at Chu Huan with some doubts, and asked Chu Huan.

  After more than a month of investigation, everyone finally knew that the funds came from Japan, but they only knew that they came from Japan, and they didn’t know which family was making the effort!

  Chu Huan shook his head and said with a smile: "The Chartered Ship King's relationship with Japan is also strong, he doesn't know, how could I know?"

Regarding Chu Huan's development in Japan, although everyone here knows that Chu Huan is very influential in Japan, they never imagined that Chu Huan's influence in Japan at this time is infinitely close to the status of the new generation of Japanese chaebols .

Just wait a few more years, and when the billion-dollar investment of Alder Commercial Bank Japan Branch in Japan begins to bear fruit, Chu Huan will be able to justifiably become a new generation of chaebols in Japan, and after the Plaza Accord, Then Chu Huan is confident that his influence in Japan will be at the same level as the four major chaebols of Mitsui, Sumitomo, Mitsubishi, and Fuji.

Everyone had no doubts about Chu Huan's answer. Zhao Shizeng said: "This time, the stock price of Wharf has more than doubled. The charter king and Jardine have both made a wrong calculation this time. It seems that they There must be more funds locked up in it!"

"The most important thing is that now everyone in Xiangjiang knows that both of them actually want to get the controlling stake in Wharf, and they also understand that the statements made by both of them before can't be trusted at all, so now Wharf's stock price can't be seen at all. The possibility of a fall is the same as when A Huan wanted to acquire the shares of Bank of East Asia before. Everyone is sure that Wharf's stock price will definitely rise.

  Now, whether it is an individual or a securities firm, they are holding on to the stocks in Wharf in their hands. There is no market outside! "

   Zheng Jiachun analyzed.

   Then Tang Yunian looked at Feng Yongfa, and asked curiously: "Ah Fa, your Sun Hung Kai Securities is the royal securities firm of Pao, what's the situation with Pao's now?"

  Feng Yongfa rolled his eyes at Tang Yunian directly, and said, "Why, do you want ICAC to investigate me, or are you going to make Sun Hung Kai Securities lose its reputation in Xiangjiang?"

   Tang Yunian realized that the question he just asked had involved commercial secrets, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm curious, I'll punish myself for a cup!"

   "You guys, instead of caring about other people's affairs, you should care about your own affairs. Don't you forget why we got together this time?"

  Michael Kadoorie is trying to smooth things over at this time.

  It was only then that the crowd came to their senses and expressed their thanks to Chu Huan.

   This is the second thing they got together.

   The dollar has devalued!

   And they previously jointly pooled 100 million US dollars for foreign exchange speculation. At the end of October, Chu Huan's operations in North America were completely over.

  As Chu Huan told them before, these people have gained more than double the benefits.

   Such a windfall made them very happy.

   Facing the compliments from everyone, Chu Huan said with a smile: "You don't plan to send me away after this drink, do you?"

Everyone laughed, and Huo Zhenting said: "Ah Huan, if it was someone else, we would definitely hold a big banquet to thank each other for three days and three nights, but now, this person is you, a drink is enough, after all Are you the one who makes the most money!"

   These people didn't know Chu Huan's investment in this matter, but they also knew that Chu Huan's investment must be beyond their imagination.

"That's right, that's right, that's right!" Zhao Shizeng immediately said, "Ah Huan, this time we all won't ask you how much you earned, but you have earned so much, please treat us brothers well. Should it be?"

  The rest of the people also echoed their voices.

  Looking at their proud faces, Chu Huan said helplessly: "I've never seen such brazen people!"

  Everyone didn't pay attention to Chu Huan's sarcasm.

  But people are always like this. After experiencing the refreshing feeling of making quick money, they will look down on the step-by-step money-making model, otherwise the casinos in Haojiang would not have such a prosperous business.

  The same is true for them. In just a few months, they have doubled their profits. Naturally, they want more businesses like this!

  So after laughing, Michael Kadoorie asked Chu Huan: "A Huan, is there any new project in the future, we can invest all the current funds into it?"

  The real estate speculation in Japan and the foreign exchange speculation in North America made them no longer have the slightest doubt about Chu Huan.

Yes, there are, but Chu Huan will not take them this time. It's not that Chu Huan is dissatisfied with them, but that Chu Huan has discovered what they are thinking now, so Chu Huan needs to cool down their mentality .

  What's more, this kind of business is really not suitable for bringing them every time, otherwise, it may give these people a sense of taking it for granted.

   Otherwise, when Chu Huan really doesn't have a suitable opportunity to make money like this in the future, not only will they not be grateful for Chu Huan's previous behavior, but they will even have negative emotions such as resentment.

   "Not for the time being, I will find you when I have a chance in the future!"

Everyone didn't think much about it. After all, there was a long time gap between Japan's real estate speculation and this foreign exchange speculation. Besides, Chu Huan is a business wizard, but it is impossible to predict the foresight. This kind of opportunity to make money should be rare. It is impossible to ask for it!

   Several people talked until late at night. When they parted, Feng Yongfa found Chu Huan and preached.

   "A Huan, my dad wants to invite you to my house for a chat!"

   Correct the typo first and then correct it, thank you everyone~
