Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

In the evening, Lin Baicheng came to Yum Securities.

"Mr. Lin, today we only bought 800,000 shares of Hutchison Whampoa shares from the stock market, spending nearly 6 million Hong Kong dollars." Anyuan reported aloud.

Cheng Yufeng then said: "Mr. Lin, Manager An said that in the afternoon, many people started to buy Hutchison Whampoa stocks. The other party only bought but not sold, and the amount bought was not small. It was possible that there was a large amount of money. great."

Lin Baicheng nodded and asked: "How high has Hutchison Whampoa's stock price been pulled up today?"

Anyuan replied: "Today's closing price is HK$7.45, an increase of more than four points. The other party has not continued to raise the stock price. Obviously, it also wants to slowly buy the stock."

"Although I don't know who is buying this, but now that someone knows it, there will be a second one if there are more people. Once there are more people, the stock price will soon be raised. Buying the stock slowly will not do me any good." .”

Lin Baicheng shook his head. He could not be sure who was buying Hutchison Whampoa shares, but he was certain that others knew about his purchase of Hutchison Whampoa shares from HSBC. The news may have been leaked from his side, or it may have been from Bao Yugang's side, or it's not impossible from HSBC's side.

Knowing this kind of news in advance, and then buying in ambush before Lin Baicheng buys a large amount of Hutchison Whampoa shares, when the takeover war breaks out, he can naturally make a lot of money. Everyone wants to have this kind of good thing that can make a lot of money in a short period of time, so anyone involved in the transaction may be leaked, and Lin Baicheng cannot find out even if he wants to.

Therefore, Lin Baicheng didn't even think about checking who was buying Hutchison Whampoa shares. It was meaningless at all. The most important thing to do now was how to deal with it.

Cheng Yufeng said: "Mr. Lin, I think we can implement the plan."

"Well, go ahead and do it!"

Lin Baicheng just pondered for a moment and then said in a deep voice. Before trading with HSBC, I had already thought of this possibility, so I also made relevant plans.

"Yes, Mr. Lin!"

Cheng Yufeng responded and left to make arrangements.

That night, the broadcast time of ATV's prime time TV series was adjusted, and a piece of major news was inserted.

Lin Baicheng bought 90 million shares of Hutchison Whampoa from HSBC at a price of HK$7.15 per share, and also acquired some from the stock market. Now he holds 102 million shares, accounting for 25.5% of Hutchison Whampoa's shares, and has become Hutchison Whampoa's shareholder. The largest shareholder.

At the same time, Lin Baicheng said that starting from tomorrow, he will buy 60 million shares of Hutchison Whampoa shares at a price of 9 Hong Kong dollars per share. He will only buy 60 million shares and will not want any more.

This news was broadcast during ATV's prime time slot, so it was seen by many people and spread quickly.

Wei Li, who is Hutchison Whampoa's vice chairman and chief executive, only found out the news after several dozen people contacted him because he was not in the habit of watching TV programs.

When Wei Li learned the news about the change of the largest shareholder, he was surprised and looked very ugly at the same time. Unexpectedly, HSBC sold all its shares without saying anything, and without informing Hutchison Whampoa's management. They actually learned the news from the news broadcast on the TV station of the new largest shareholder.

Although he wanted to question HSBC's Shen Chow why he did this, Wei Li knew that it was meaningless to do so now because the transaction between the two parties had been completed, so he immediately contacted London as soon as possible.

What Weili contacted was the Qi Dezun family in London, who previously controlled Hutchison Whampoa. After Qi Dezun was forced to step down from Hutchison International in 1975, he moved back to London. Last year, his health suddenly began to deteriorate, so all his children took care of him in London. Now there is no one from the Qi Dezun family here in Xiangjiang.

Fortunately, because the time in Xiangjiang is 7 hours ahead of the time in London, it is night here in Xiangjiang but it is daytime over there in London, so there is no need to worry about not being able to contact anyone in a short period of time.

However, although the contact was made, the Qi Dezun family did not respond immediately and just asked Wei Li to wait for news.

"It seems that the Qi Dezun family is giving up control of Hutchison Whampoa."

Wei Li was not stupid. He could see the Qi Dezun family's plan at a glance, and he also knew why this was the case. Qi Dezun's health is getting worse and worse. His sons are currently preparing to fight for the inheritance, and they all want to get more inheritance. Therefore, they are not willing to let the family spend a lot of money to maintain control of Hutchison Whampoa.

"I also have to think about myself."

Wei Li was moved and immediately contacted the people below to inform all management of the meeting tomorrow.

Except for relevant personnel, neither the ordinary people in Hong Kong nor some wealthy families expected that Lin Baicheng had bought so many shares of Hutchison Whampoa. It was very likely that he would win a British-owned foreign company. This may be the first one in Hong Kong. A foreign company that changed ownership and was controlled by the Chinese.

The next morning, various newspapers reported news related to Lin Baicheng's acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa.

However, except for a few newspapers, most newspapers are very unfavorable about Lin Baicheng's settlement in Hutchison Whampoa. They believe that Lin Baicheng is too young. Although he is lucky and has made a lot of money, this does not mean that Lin Baicheng can control a company with a market value of 3 billion. A large company with around HKD.

With Lin Baicheng becoming the largest shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, the future development prospects of Hutchison Whampoa are really worrying. The price of HK$9 per share is very likely to be the peak price of Hutchison Whampoa in the future.

Although a few newspapers reported that this was the first acquisition of a British-owned bank by Chinese capital, which was exciting news, the vast majority of newspaper reports were not optimistic about the company's development after Lin Baicheng settled in Hutchison Whampoa. Hutchison Whampoa's development will only get worse in the future.

At the same time, the four major stock exchanges in Hong Kong were overcrowded this morning, and the stock that attracted the most attention today was the stock of Hutchison Whampoa.

In the trading floors of the four major exchanges, a large number of Yum Securities staff came early in the morning. They were responsible for buying Hutchison Whampoa shares at a price of HK$9 per share. There were also staff responsible for statistics. Responsible for counting the number of shares currently acquired every five minutes and announcing it.

Today's stock transactions are all between people, not computers. Therefore, in order to avoid the commotion and chaos caused by a large number of stock investors who want to sell stocks, the four major exchanges dedicated today to the staff of Yum Securities A place was prepared and several traders were arranged to be responsible for Hutchison Whampoa's stock trading today.

In this way, Hutchison Whampoa's stock delivery can be completed faster without causing chaos.
