Hong Kong movies: What era is this? Are you still playing the dwarf mule game?

In the stock exchange.

At the seat of Cheung Kong Investment.

"Boss, there is capital competing with us for Hutchison Whampoa." A stockbroker reported to Li Chaoren.

"What is the identity of the other party?" Li Chaoren asked.

"I don't know. The other party's method is very secretive. It uses multiple accounts to operate together. It should be a professional institutional staff."

Li Chaoren thought for a while, and then said decisively: "Stop the acquisition for the time being, sell some stocks to try the market. Continue to track down the other party's identity information."

"Yes, boss."

Li Chaoren was a little depressed. He originally planned to acquire Wharf Holdings, but he didn't expect that Bao Bu Tong and Lin Yi would appear halfway.

He turned to Hutchison Whampoa again, but he didn't expect to encounter obstacles again.

Who is the other party?

Is it deliberately targeting me, or is it just a coincidence?

Hutchison Whampoa is not like Wharf Holdings. The controlling party does not have too much equity and is easy to be stolen.

Hutchison Whampoa's major shareholder is HSBC. Unless it is crazy, who can have the strength to fight a price war with them?

...

Kowloon Stock Exchange.

At the seat of Longteng Investment.

"Boss, there are many more Hutchison Whampoa selling orders in the market. Should we follow the trend and dump the stocks, or continue to buy?

If we continue to buy, the other party may see our purpose." As a professional, Fang Zhanbo explained the reason to Lin Yi.

In the trading market, the first thing to do is to hide your purpose.

Otherwise, once your purpose is exposed, it will cause big funds to snipe.

Lin Yi frowned and said to Fang Zhanbo: "Zhanbo, you are good at these things, just do it.

You will operate the process, and my goal is to buy as many Hutchison Whampoa stocks as possible."

"Boss, is there an upper limit? How much funds are prepared?" Fang Zhanbo asked.

Lin Yi raised a finger.

"Within 100 million, buy as many Hutchison Whampoa stocks as possible, but the stock price must be kept below 5 yuan." Lin Yi issued a clear order.

"Got it, boss. Watch me." Fang Zhanbo rolled up his sleeves and prepared to make another big move.

The predecessor of Hutchison Whampoa was Hutchison and Whampoa Boathouse.

At the beginning, HSBC bought more than 30% of Hutchison's shares for 150 million and became the largest shareholder.

Later, professional manager Werley was invited to serve as vice chairman of the board and CEO.

Under Werley's vigorous reforms, Hutchison reorganized Whampoa Dock and established the famous Hutchison Whampoa.

But because of Werley's strong organizational ability, there was distrust between him and HSBC.

To use an old saying, a real man cannot live under someone else for a long time.

Looking at Hutchison Whampoa, whose business is booming under his reforms, how could Werley tolerate HSBC, the largest shareholder, pointing fingers behind him?

HSBC is not willing to suffer in silence. Since Werley is so disobedient, they have the intention to overturn the table.

But turning the table over does not mean that they hope to lose money. In fact, HSBC has already begun to secretly look for the next buyer to take over its shares in Hutchison Whampoa.

At that time, they will ensure their own profits. As for how Welch and the new owner will compete, that is not their concern.

This kind of thing was originally a secret of HSBC's senior management, and they would never reveal it to the outside world.

But who made the big boss Lin the cheater appear?

With the foresight of seeing through everything, his eyes are also on Hutchison Whampoa.

As we all know, the peak of Li Chaoren's career began with the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa.

But now that the cheater has appeared, can he still get what he wants?

Although the big boss Lin is secretly absorbing Hutchison Whampoa's shares, he does not want the stock price to soar too fast, so that when he takes control from HSBC in the future, the price he pays will be too high.

Hutchison Whampoa's business scope is very broad. At its peak, it had as many as 360 subsidiaries and joint ventures, and its business operations covered almost every inch of land on Hong Kong Island.

In terms of strength, it is only second to Jardine Matheson.

...

In the mansion of the Huo family.

"Happy New Year, Brother Huo!" He was too lazy to find an excuse. Boss Lin wished Mr. Huo a happy new year a few months in advance!

"What's the matter with you kid? Come on! It's still several months before the Chinese New Year." Mr. Huo rolled his eyes at Lin Yi.

He also gradually discovered that this young man was different from other young people in his place. The other party really didn't treat him as an outsider, as if this was his home.

Social people are indeed different from those who have received elite education in the family.The children of the family are different.

Sometimes Mr. Huo even wondered whether he should send a few mediocre children in the family to Lin Yi's club for reform?

For the people around Lin Yi, whether it was Song Zihao, Xiao Ma Ge, Gong Wei, Xu Zhengyang, or even that Jimmy, it seemed that everyone here had a unique temperament.

There were also the artists bought out by Lin Yi, such as Hua Zai, Fa Zai, Zhang Yu, Liu Ling, Liang Wei... These artists gradually began to flourish in the entertainment industry under Lin Yi's vigorous cultivation.

There was also the artist named Ren Hua, who looked ordinary, a little dark, and a little ruffian, but he actually became a newcomer promoted by Lin Yi's entertainment company. By the way, I seem to have heard that his brother is an inspector of the Hong Kong Island Police Department...

Alas, this kid, his path is not ordinary wild.

Moreover, he also heard gossip that this kid actually had connections with the Mao Xiong and the people on the Eagle Sauce side.

For a moment, Mr. Huo didn't know how to evaluate Boss Lin?

He is a gangster, but the business operations he plays in the business world are more slick than those of them.

He is a business elite, but he is still a famous gangster in Hong Kong.

In the capital market, although Bao Bu Tong was directly enshrined in the battle of Kowloon Wharf, the one who benefited the most was Lin Yi.

In just one month, not only did he make hundreds of millions of profits, but he also gained Bao Bu Tong's friendship.

I don't know what kind of ecstasy Lin Yi gave Bao Bu Tong. When playing golf, Bao Bu Tong praised Lin Yi more than once...

"The old man is wise and saw through my little trick at a glance." In terms of shamelessness, there are really few people who are thicker-skinned than Boss Lin.

"Speak, if you have something to say, speak quickly, if you have something to say, fart quickly. Don't delay the old man's dinner." Mr. Huo found that it was difficult for him to remain serious in front of this kid.

"Don't be like that, Brother Huo, we need to talk slowly. I'm still planning to stay here for a meal. Look, I've prepared the wine."

Under the gaze of Mr. Huo, Boss Lin took out two bottles of Red Star Erguotou from his pocket.

"Old man, it's brewed with pure grains, so delicious!" Boss Lin said proudly.

Looking at his expression, people who didn't know him would think he was taking out some kind of nectar.
