I want to be a giant of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 458 [Milk Company and Wharf]

When the Jardine Department was discussing the development of Wharf, Wu Guangyao was not idle;

Because Wu Guangyao knew that his series of actions would definitely cause a chain reaction;
Compared with history, I acquired Blue Chimney (Lee Shau Kee) two years in advance, and started the reconstruction boom of commercial buildings in the Central District (Landmark) four years in advance;

These actions undoubtedly stimulated the Jardine Department, so the Jardine Department will never sit still!

Wu Guangyao carefully searched the memories in his mind, and soon thought of the possible actions of the Jardine Department in the future;
First of all, the Harbor City commercial complex of the Wharf Group will definitely be put on the agenda in advance; however, given the urgency of the Jardines, such a large project as the Harbor City will definitely be divided into several phases, and then the entire project will be completed from project approval to completion. , I am afraid it will take ten years.

Secondly, the land price in the Central District is becoming more and more expensive, and the second commercial district of the island will be transferred to Causeway Bay; if Hongkong Land does not demolish the old commercial buildings, it will definitely consider expanding outward. Causeway Bay is their goal, and the milk company will soon Become the target of setting hands.

Finally, regarding the reconstruction of commercial buildings in the Central District, Landmark’s old commercial buildings were basically built in the 30s, with a height of nine to twelve floors, so the Jardine Department will definitely complete the first two things before considering the reconstruction of the Central District The problem.

With the three moves, Wu Guangyao knows himself and the enemy, so there is no problem in winning every battle!
The first action of the Jardine Department - the construction of the Harbor City, had little impact on Wu Guangyao, because Wu Guangyao still admired the architectural style and quality of the Harbor City in his previous life; in this case, why not let the Jardine Department Continue to make wedding dresses for yourself?

Even Wharf, which owns Harbor City, has always been a seriously undervalued stock; when Li Chaoren quietly acquired Wharf in his previous life, the market value of Wharf was only 14 billion Hong Kong dollars; you must know that at that time, the development cost of the entire Harbor City was just About 12 billion Hong Kong dollars has been invested, and the construction has not yet been fully completed; when the real Wharf war started, many "professionals" jumped out and pointed out that Wharf's fixed assets alone were worth 50 billion Hong Kong dollars. It was only after 100 billion Hong Kong dollars was fired that Bao Yugang completed the acquisition.

Wu Guangyao can let go of the matter of Wharf, but the matter of the milk company has to be tense;

Therefore, Wu Guangyao came to Everbright Securities and called Liu Yu into his office.

Liu Yu walked into Wu Guangyao's office and sat down on the sofa. Liu Yu's eyes were filled with admiration for Wu Guangyao;
Why?

It turns out that in June this year, the U.S. stock market began to fall slowly, and then turned into a stock market crash this month;
Before the stock market crash, Wu Guangyao had already withdrawn all the funds invested in US stocks, and he was unscathed;
Liu Yu thought to himself, if it were him, even if the danger was foreseen, the funds would not all be withdrawn.

Wu Guangyao looked at Liu Yu with admiration and respect in his eyes, and he was used to it;

Which of my executives is not like this. In terms of analyzing the general trend, these executives have always regarded themselves as gods.

Wu Guangyao asked: "How many shares of Milk Company have we bought?"

"108 million shares, accounting for 21% of the total share capital, the stock price has risen to 55.5 Hong Kong dollars per share."

Liu Yu said without thinking, because the boss is very concerned about these stocks, so Liu Yu always keeps the latest situation in his mind.

Wu Guangyao nodded, and began to think for himself;

Liu Yu didn't want to disturb the boss's train of thought, so he didn't even pick up the tea that was placed next to him, so as not to affect the boss.

The total share capital of Milk Company is only 510 million shares, but the stock price is very high;

Based on the current calculation of HK$55.5 per share, the market value is HK$2.83 million.

According to Wu Guangyao's knowledge, the major shareholder Zhou Xinian holds less than 20% of the shares, or even only 15%;

Because, in the previous life, Landmark bought the Milk Company through a share exchange. When announcing the victory, it claimed that it already held 80% of the shares of the Milk Company;
In this way, it can be calculated that Zhou Xinian and his allies hold a total of 20% of the shares. After all, all public shares in the market have been acquired by Landmark.

Thinking of this, Wu Guangyao said to Liu Yu: "Like an old listed company like Milk Company, its shares must be very scattered, and we are definitely already a major shareholder; therefore, you need to be more courageous and use more retail investors. Account number, speed up; within three months, our shareholding will be 28%!"

When Liu Yu heard Wu Guangyao's decisive analysis, he immediately thought of the key point;
The Milk Company is a British-funded company that was established as early as the 19th century. Over time, the shares have been diluted and dispersed among the citizens of Hong Kong Island.

Otherwise, how could Zhou Xinian, an outsider, easily become the major shareholder and chairman of the board of directors.

"After listening to the boss' analysis, I'm really ashamed!" Liu Yu felt extremely ashamed when he thought that it took him two years to acquire 21%!

Wu Guangyao waved his hand and said comfortingly: "It's not your fault. I know you are afraid of being discovered and affecting what I want to do, so you dare not make too much of a move. But now we have the chance to win, assuming If you accidentally expose it, it won't affect anything!"

Liu Yu nodded and said, "Well, I will try to hide it as much as possible."

The reason why Wu Guangyao fired the gun quietly was because he didn't want to bear the reputation of hostilely buying Chinese companies;

But the milk company is a key step in becoming the leader of Causeway Bay, and it has to fight for it;

Therefore, I can only use Landmark as my shield!

Then Wu Guangyao asked about the situation of Wharf, and Liu Yu told himself that Wharf's shareholding had reached 22%;

For this progress, Wu Guangyao expressed his approval and let Liu Yu continue to maintain this rhythm.

Just when Wu Guangyao was building construction projects, what were the four major families in his previous life doing?

In September 1969, Li Ka-shing formed Huanghe Real Estate Co., Ltd. to concentrate material resources, financial resources and energy to develop the real estate industry;
At this time, the properties owned by Huanghe Real Estate Co., Ltd. are as follows:
Two industrial buildings with an area of ​​16 square feet;

There are 5 commercial buildings with an area of ​​12 square feet.

Gone!

The strength can be described as pitiful!
At the company's high-level meeting, Li Chaoren proposed with great ambition: "To take Hongkong Land as the goal, we must not only learn from Hongkong Land's successful experience, but also exceed the scale of Hongkong Land!"

As soon as Li Ka-shing finished speaking, the shareholders booed!
Even the department leaders under Li Ka-shing also showed doubts on their faces.

One of the shareholders even questioned: "If the chairman has great perseverance, he must aim at Cheung Kong; Cheung Kong surpasses Hongkong Land in terms of market value and development prospects. And even if it is compared with Hongkong and other companies , our Yellow River Real Estate can only be regarded as a small company, how can we compete with the giants?"

Li Chaoren was embarrassed, the reason why he didn't compare Cheung Kong was because Wu Guangyao sabotaged his good deeds several times;
For example, on the name of the registered company, I finally thought of a good name, but it was registered by him first;

For another example, when developing plastic flowers, someone was ahead of me, and this person was Wu Guangyao's uncle;
It is precisely because of various "coincidences" that Li Ka-shing has a certain amount of resentment!

Naturally, Li Ka-shing would not say these things directly, but explained: "Hong Kong Land has been able to stand on Hong Kong Island for more than half a century. Their policy is to collect properties (rent collection) first, and develop properties second; Short-term profits, focusing on long-term investment; therefore, our Yellow River will also focus on rent-collecting properties, supplemented by property development. The development of Cheung Kong Industrial is very risky. Although it succeeds for a while, as long as it encounters a risk, it will be in vain.”

Li Chaoren was really eloquent, and soon all the shareholders were persuaded by him;

Cheung Kong was just established in Singapore, surrounded by dangers, so it went to invest;

The real estate on Hong Kong Island is still plummeting, and everyone is panicking, so Cheung Kong dares to invest heavily;
On the surface, Cheung Kong is an adventurous company!

If it's everyone, are you willing to take risks?
Obviously no.
