Chapter 123: Acquisition of Wheelock, Morningstar Entertainment opens for business!
The Universal Group announced the acquisition of Wheelock Group. As soon as the news came out, Hong Kong Island was in an uproar.
And Universal Investment announced that it already held 56.7% of Wheelock's shares.
No one expected that the Universal Group would quietly acquire Wheelock.
After Whampoa and Swire, the third of the four major foreign companies fell into the hands of the Universal Group.
Although it was a bit shocking, it was still acceptable. After all, the Universal Group is now in its heyday.
Ye, the richest man, is so rich that it is very easy to acquire Wheelock.
Or maybe everyone has become accustomed to it and numb, but the Chinese in Hong Kong Island are very excited.
Now there is only one Jardine Matheson left among the four major foreign companies. It depends on how long Jardine Matheson can hold on.
But Jardine Matheson is trembling at this time because the senior management of Jardine Matheson has discovered it.
During this period, someone has absorbed their shares in the stock market.
Now it seems that if nothing unexpected happens, it should be the Universal Group.
Now the Universal Group is coming with great momentum, and it is obvious that its goal is to acquire Jardine Matheson.
Universal Group!
Looking at the report in his hand, Ye Haochen frowned. Wheelock's debt is so shocking? .
It actually owes 2.1 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it has to pay 600 million Hong Kong dollars to complete the ordered ship.
No wonder the acquisition went so smoothly. With such a shocking debt, it is estimated that many shareholders want to get rid of it.
The largest shareholder of Wheelock is actually the Zhang family of Hong Kong Island.
The Zhang family started with Western medicine and became prosperous by real estate.
The wealth of the Zhang family has reached the level of super-rich, but it is not well-known and is rarely known to outsiders.
Of course Ye Haochen knows the Zhang family of Hong Kong Island. The Zhang family holds a large number of shares in Wheelock.
Wheelock has suffered heavy losses in recent years, which has a lot to do with Wheelock's chairman Maden.
Besides, Zhang Yuliang had internal conflicts with his family and had long wanted to withdraw from Hong Kong Island.
The most important thing was that Madden still wanted to sell, and Zhang Yuliang agreed to the transfer because he did not want to offend Universal Group.
Universal Investment already held shares in Wheelock.
In addition to the market absorption, it also acquired shares of several other shareholders.
It was so easy to take over Wheelock.
It was a bad debt, with a debt of more than 2 billion. No wonder Wheelock's stock price kept falling.
Although it was losing money every year, Wheelock was still worth acquiring.
Now the total carrying capacity of Wheelock Shipping has reached 1.39 million tons.
He remembered that Wheelock was acquired by the charter king in his previous life.
And he staged a fierce battle with a Chinese businessman.
In addition to the 1.39 million tons of shipping capacity, Wheelock also has more than 100 affiliated companies.
Now that Wheelock has successfully acquired it, the next step is to take complete control and delist like Swire and Whampoa.
The main reason why Wheelock has suffered so much loss is its blind expansion.
AndBesides, the shipping business is not easy to do now. Haven't you seen that the charter kings are investing in other industries?
It's just that Madden and his son don't have the vision of the charter king.
However, what Universal Group lacks the least is shipping business.
Now Huangpu is too busy, and every day a batch of ships depart from Hong Kong, the mainland, and the Golden Triangle.
Especially now in the Magic City, every container is loaded with cars and shipped to Europe and the United States.
The Magic City is laughing, they didn't expect Universal Car to be so amazing.
The most important thing is that it earns foreign exchange, US dollars, euros.
Now will Chen Fuzhu and others go to the factory to take a look.
The factory in Pengcheng doesn't have as large a shipment volume as the factory in Magic City.
Now Magic City specializes in producing sedans, while Pengcheng specializes in producing sports cars.
"Now we just need one more Jardine..."
Ye Haochen slowly put down the report, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Of the four major foreign companies, only Jardine Matheson is left, but it is also the most difficult one to deal with.
After all, Jardine Matheson is not as loss-making as Wheelock.
Trample, tramp!
The office door was pushed open, and Ye Zhirong walked in with a happy look on her face in high heels.
"Haochen, there is news from the Ecological Park that the computer has been developed."
Ye Zhirong was excited, after all, it was a computer.
This year, the Universal Group has blossomed in all aspects, and several companies have made big moves.
As the leader of the Universal Group's companies, Universal Technology has become silent.
As the president of Universal Technology, she is of course very anxious.
Now that PHS is not selling well, only Universal Home Appliances is left.
Although Universal Home Appliances has good profits, it cannot be compared with Universal Auto.
Now that the computer has been developed, it is a real technological product.
The most important thing is that the computers developed by Universal Technology are different from those developed by major international companies.
"Okay, I just have nothing to do, let's go to Tseung Kwan O to have a look."
Ye Haochen also smiled and slowly stood up.
Originally, he wanted to go to Repulse Bay because Guan Meiren just called him.
Of course, the company's business is more important now.
As for whether Guan Meiren has any ideas, he doesn't care at all.
"When are you free now?"
Hearing his words, Ye Zhirong spoke unhappily.
Since the establishment of the think tank, Ye Haochen has become a hands-off boss again.
All matters, big and small, are left to the think tank and the secretarial team.
These few days, they basically come to the company to have a look, and then leave again.
But the think tank is really powerful, and she doesn't know where Ye Haochen found people from.
Ye Haochen smiled, then put his arm around his elder sister's shoulders and walked out of the office.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the rooftop and left directly in a helicopter.
"Hong Kong Island has changed so much..."
On the helicopter, looking at the scenery below, Ye Zhirong said with emotion.
There are high-rise buildings everywhere, and there are dozens of commercial buildings around the Universal Group.
It is worth mentioning that the land on both sides of the Universal Building has been acquired by Universal Real Estate.
Among them, those with houses built or buildings in the past have also been bought.
Universal Real Estate is very simple, just spending money.
Chen Bixuan plans to build a business circle on the left and a villa area on the right.
"Sister, I find that you are becoming more and more sentimental now."
Ye Haochen smiled and shook his head. By the way, he hasn't seen the boyfriend of the elder sister yet.
However, after he finished speaking, he soon found something wrong, because this was not the direction of Tseung Kwan O.
"He Yong..."
Ye Haochen glanced at the elder sister with a strange look, and then looked at He Yong who was driving the plane.
Something happened... He Yong certainly wouldn't betray him, after all, the recruits were 100% loyal.
In the Universal Theme Hotel, looking at the surrounding layout, Ye Haochen also came back to his senses.
He had forgotten that today was his birthday, and Edith pushed the cake over at this time.
Ni Yongxiao and others looked at Ye Haochen with a smile, urging him to blow the cake.
Ye Haochen took a deep breath, hugged Edith and blew out the cake.
"Is it your idea?"
After Ye Haochen blew out the cake, he smiled and looked at Edith.
"Just heard Mommy talk about it some time ago."
"Then I wanted to give you a surprise,"
Edith smiled and nodded.
Although the two were not married, they were engaged. The mommy she was talking about was of course Lin Shilian.
"Boss, this is my birthday gift for you."
"It's Cuban, just a small token of my appreciation, don't despise it."
Ni Yongxiao quickly took a bag from the sofa and said with a smile.
"Boss, this is what I prepared carefully..."
"Boss, this is the century-old ginseng I prepared..."
Others also took out their gifts and said quickly.
They all knew that Ye Haochen didn't lack these things, but they were all carefully prepared.
Precious medicinal materials, cigars, and gold-made items.
"Brother, this is the scarf I saved up."
Ye Zhixin also took out a gift bag and spoke crisply.
"Little sister, thank you."
Ye Haochen smiled and took the gift bag, then touched her head.
This girl is about to go to college, and her academic performance has always been good.
Originally, her family suggested that she study abroad, and any foreign brand university would be fine.
But this girl has her own ideas and wants to go to university in the mainland.
At this time in South Africa, Ye Haochen recruited a lot of veterans in the mall.
Three days ago, a group of people arrived at the gold mine,Thousands of people arrived again today.
Looking at the group of veterans in front of them, Abbott and others nodded involuntarily.
"With so many people, we can definitely defend this gold mine."
Abbott blew out a puff of smoke, and then spoke slowly.
The gold mine has not been attacked in the past few days, and they can hardly breathe a sigh of relief.
The most important thing is that the boss has transferred almost three thousand people.
Compared to defending this gold mine, they prefer to do tasks and go to the battlefield.
"The boss asked us to send a group of people to Malacca." (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"In addition to accepting two islands, we also have to deal with a group of pirates."
"Who will go among us?"
Thunder looked at the large trucks and the supplies transported down, and then looked at Abbott and Dark Dragon.
It's just to deal with a group of pirates, and they don't need to go out in full force.
Just let one of the teams take action.
It is worth mentioning that the Dark Dragon has already been replenished with personnel during this period.
I don’t know what this guy did with Chen Yu.
Let Chen Yu give dozens of soldier kings to Dark Dragon.
Lei Ting even said that Chen Yu discriminated against him and treated him differently.
After all, those were all soldier kings, and he had been pestering Chen Yu these days.
Finally, Chen Yu couldn’t stand it anymore, and then gave him ten soldier kings.
“Let me go...”
Abbot’s eyes flashed slightly, and then he smiled.
It’s just a group of pirates. Any of their teams going there would be like a cannon hitting a mosquito, and they would crush the situation.
Dark Dragon and Lei Ting looked at each other, and then they all smiled dumbly. []
They knew Abbot couldn’t sit still, and he had been complaining these days. Now that he had the opportunity to leave this place where no one was going to live, of course he would leave.
There is nothing but loess here, and even no buildings can be seen.
The nearest village is about 100 kilometers away.
The Morgan Consortium moved very quickly, and a large number of trucks and various machines have been transported here in the past few days.
In the past few days, there have been several teams of miners, with a total of thousands of people.
And these thousands of people are just the beginning. After all, the mine is too big, and the area alone is tens of kilometers.
Please give me flowers
It is definitely not possible for them to leave together now, after all, no one knows whether those consortiums have given up.
"Satan, Satan, let people gather and go to deal with the pirates."
Abbott threw away the cigar, took out the intercom from his waist, and shouted loudly.
He didn't want to stay in this damn place for a moment.
Soon, more than 40 people from Aurora gathered together, and everyone felt excited. They were finally leaving.
They have been in South Africa for about a month.
All of them were fully armed, and some of them even hadGauze.
"Board the plane, target Malacca."
Abt looked at the gathered team members, carrying the Raptor on his shoulder with one hand, and then spoke loudly.
Soon, the Aurora team members boarded the plane one by one, and all got on the large helicopter, but some also got on the armed helicopter.
Several helicopters took off and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Captain, when can we go on the mission?"
A member of Thunder looked at the direction where Abt and others left with envy, and then couldn't help looking at Thunder.
As soon as the voice fell, the members of the Thunder team looked at their captain, and the members of the Dark Dragon team were no exception.
No one wanted to stay here.
"Wait a while, wait until you have recuperated and reorganized."
"If nothing happens here in a while, I will ask the BOSS."
Thunder pondered for a while, and then spoke slowly.
Two days have passed since Ye Haochen's birthday. Today, the Number Gang opened the Macau Casino.
For the opening of the casino, the Number Gang invited many people, both black and white.
Morning Star, the name of the casino is Morning Star Entertainment. The entire casino is very luxuriously decorated, and even invited several famous Feng Shui masters from Hong Kong Island to look at it.
The richer and more prestigious people are, the more they believe in Feng Shui, especially in Hong Kong Island and Macau.
In addition to the casino, there is also a hotel next to Morning Star Entertainment, which is also very luxuriously decorated.
The opening is naturally a big opening, although the Number Gang has unified the underground forces of Hong Kong Island and Macau.
However, there are still many societies, but they are basically whitewashing, either making movies, or doing bar and nightclub business.
"Boss Chen, welcome, welcome..."
Ni Yongxiao stood at the door of the casino on the second floor, smiling and shaking hands with today's casino guests.
"Mr. Ni, your casino is quite amazing."
A wealthy man, listening to a big-bellied boss, looked at the decoration of the casino, and then smiled and complimented.
I heard that the Number Gang spent hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to build the Morning Star Entertainment Casino.
Of course, these hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars also include the five-star hotel next to it.
Ni Yongxiao also shook his head modestly. There were too many people coming today, and even many people who were not invited.
Not only people from Hong Kong Island and Macao, but also many people from Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand.
There are big men in the underworld, and there are also many wealthy people from all over the world.
But he also knew that many of these people came for Ye Haochen.
Since the news of the gold mine spread, Ye Haochen has been in his prime.
The Universal Group has become an international first-class consortium. After all, it controls hundreds of billions of US dollars in assets. Who can ignore it? .
Not only Ni Yongxiao, but also Han Bin and other leaders were welcoming guests.
The entire second-floor gambling hall was very lively, with at least 200 people at present.
These people basically didn't come alone, either with bodyguards or with women.
"When will the boss arrive?"
Han Bin waved to a boss he knew, and then couldn't help asking.
"I notified him this morning that the boss will arrive soon by helicopter."
Ni Yongxiao also wiped his sweat, and then slowly spoke.
Haojiang is so close to Hong Kong Island that it can be reached in more than ten minutes.
"Mr. Zhuang is here..."
Ni Yongxiao's eyes suddenly condensed, looking at the old man who walked in first, and then spoke in a deep voice.
Han Bin also looked in the direction of his gaze, and soon recognized that this was the head of the Haojiang Zhuang family.
After the two looked at each other, they hurriedly greeted him.
"Mr. Ni, Mr. Han..."
A middle-aged man next to Mr. Zhuang looked at the two people who came over, then smiled and spoke, and also told his father about the identities of the two people.
His father rarely went out, so naturally he didn't know Ni Yongxiao and the others.
And Mr. Zhuang nodded, then smiled at the two of them; "Hello, two young men."
"Hello, Mr. Zhuang, I didn't expect you to come."
Both of them spoke in unison, and then Ni Yongxiao spoke with a smile. He also knew that this person lived in seclusion.
"It just so happened that I had nothing to do, and it just happened that Old Huo told me about it."
"I have always heard of Mr. Ye's name, and today I just happened to get to know him."
Mr. Zhuang smiled at the two of them, and then spoke slowly, just like an ordinary kind old man.
He had no prejudice against the people in the society, and he also knew how powerful the Number Gang was.
He was able to come today because he had nothing to do with tea with Old Huo some time ago, and happened to hear him talk about it, so he came here.
He knew Ye Haochen, but he didn't know him.
