Chapter 205 The Battle for Hutchison Whampoa (14) - More updates from the Master of the Clouds for t

"Li Sheng, you're welcome." Xu Zhi greeted Li Jiacheng with a smile in the HSBC conference room.

Li Jiacheng smiled and said: "Xu Sheng, this is because you are being unkind. You have become the major shareholder of our Yangtze River Industrial Co., Ltd., and you don't come to visit the company. I would like to ask for advice on the company's future development."

Xu Zhidao: "I prefer to spend time in my own company. Maybe one day, I will also like to stay at Cheung Kong Holdings."

Xu and Li were communicating politely, and they didn't look like they were in the midst of a takeover war.

Shen Bi and Pu Weishi walked in and said, "Boy, no matter what happened before, we are here today to solve all the problems. I hope that after we get out of here, we can put aside the past grudges and develop together." .”

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "No problem. What do you think of Li Sheng?"

"Okay." Li Jiacheng agreed.

Seeing that the two people in front of him were very cold, Shen Bi nodded and said: "You two already know that there are problems with the stock prices of Yangtze River and Hutchison Whampoa. At the same time, both of you have invested huge sums of money in it. For the sake of fairness, I suggest The two of you exchanged stocks according to market value. Xu Sheng exchanged Yangtze River shares for Li Sheng's Hutchison shares. I wonder what you two want?"

Li Jiacheng said: "Okay."

"I don't agree." Xu Zhi sneered: "After Li Sheng acquired enough Yangtze River stocks, the stock price has plummeted. Now it is only 7 Hong Kong dollars, which is only half of the peak period. And Hutchison Whampoa has not yet completed the acquisition. , the stock price is high, and this exchange is not fair."

Li Jiacheng said: "Xu Sheng, the market value of Cheung Kong Industries should be like this. It was you who forced the price increase in the stock market first, which led to today's situation. And if Xu Sheng's share price of Hutchison Whampoa is too high, it can be transferred to I, I will buy them all according to the current market price."

"Sheng Li has such a big tone." Xu Zhi said with a smile: "The total value of the Hutchison Whampoa shares in my hands is more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. Can Cheung Kong Holdings still afford it now?"

Li Jiacheng said: "Cheung Kong Industries can't afford it, but I can. Xu Sheng doesn't think that after leaving HSBC, Li Jiacheng and I can't find funds, right?"

Shen Bi interrupted: "Well, there is no point in saying that these things will not happen. The problem now is to find a suitable way so that you can exit each other's company without losing money!"

Xu Zhi frowned. This was indeed a difficult problem. Yangtze River stock fell by half after Li Jiacheng's successful acquisition. Once the news of the negotiations between the two leaked, Hutchison Whampoa would probably suffer the same fate. He was unwilling to acquire it at the current high price. Li Jiacheng holds Hutchison Whampoa shares, and if the stock price plummets, Li Jiacheng will naturally not sell it, and the two parties have fallen into this vicious cycle again.

Li Jiacheng said: "I have a way for the two of us to exit successfully!"

"What method?" Xu Zhi asked. Although he had won the acquisition battle, he had killed one thousand enemies and lost eight hundred. It was a good thing to be able to stop the loss now.

Li Jiacheng said: "I can guarantee that my method is effective, but Xu Sheng must promise me one thing!"

Xu Zhi asked: "What's the matter?"

Li Jiacheng said: "Xu Sheng currently holds 28% of the shares of Cheung Kong Holdings. I require you to reduce your shares to 16%."

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Why, Li Sheng still wants to buy my shares?"

Li Jiacheng said: "Of course not. I already own 49% of the shares. If I want to acquire more, I will have to launch a comprehensive takeover offer. I just hope that we will not have any conflicts in the future!"

"It's not possible to reduce my shares, but I can make a promise that as long as Yangtze River does not suffer a big loss, I will not increase my shares!" Xu Zhi thought for a while and said.

Li Jiacheng shook his head and said: "This kind of promise is not safe enough for me. If Xu Sheng is really optimistic about my company, why not convert the ordinary shares in your hands into preferred shares, but without voting rights, but the dividend income will be exactly the same, I don't know Xu Sheng How's business going?"

"Preferred shares?" Xu Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Well, I can convert 12% of the shares and keep the remaining 16% unchanged. And I asked for the directorship of Cheung Kong Holdings, but Li Sheng had to promise me another thing. "

Li Jiacheng asked: "What's the matter?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Don't worry, this is a good thing. I hope Li Sheng can transfer 25% of Weicheng Company shares in the hands of Yangtze River Industrial and the Hung Hom land in Yingni, Qingzhou to me."

"Weicheng Company?" Li Jiacheng understood and said with a smile, "It seems that Xu Sheng is ready to show off his skills in Tianshuiwei?"

Xu Zhi said: "Whether it is also my business, what does Li Sheng think?"

Li Ka-shing thought for a while and said, "Okay, the Hung Hom land is not a problem, but with the shares in Tin Shui Wai, the price will be HK$180 million."

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "150 million, as long as this transaction can be successful, I promise to convert 12% of the stocks into preferred shares."

Li Jiacheng's personal capital turnover will definitely have problems, so he will definitely find a way to sell his stocks in the future. However, the second shareholder has malicious intentions and owns 28% of the equity, which naturally makes him uneasy.

The reason why I agreed to him is also for long-term considerations. If Li Jiacheng spends too much time protecting his controlling rights, I am afraid that he may not be wholehearted in business operations. Cheung Kong Holdings' stocks will not be able to obtain the best returns, and Tianshuiwei's side will not be able to obtain the best returns. It is extremely important for Evergrande.

"Okay, let's do it." Li Jiacheng thought for a while and agreed, "Speaking of Hutchison Whampoa, our current problem is that Xu Sheng is unwilling to buy my stock at a high price, and I am not willing to sell it at a low price, so We can get a third party or even more people to foot the bill.”

Xu Zhi asked: "What do you mean?"

Li Jiacheng said with a smile: "At present, no one knows about this meeting except the four of us. As long as we go back and release the news to prepare for another big fight, Hutchison Whampoa's stock price will inevitably skyrocket. In this way, as long as we control the process, I You can sell stocks smoothly.”

Xu Zhi sneered: "This way you can get rid of it, Li Sheng, but it's the ordinary investors who have been cheated. I will be scolded in the future."

Li Jiacheng shook his head and said: "Xu Sheng, you are wrong. Shareholders refer to people who hold stocks for a long time. The real returns of shareholders only depend on the performance of the company, and those who follow the trend in the market now are speculators or other consortiums. They I have no sympathy for people who want to take advantage of the fight between you and me to make huge profits. You have to take advantage of it."

Xu Zhidao: "It makes some sense, but what's the benefit to me from doing this?"

Li Jiacheng said: "Xu Sheng, you don't need 49% of the shares to control a company. As long as I withdraw from Hutchison Whampoa, you will be the major shareholder. Even only 30% of the shares are enough to control the board of directors.

This proposal of mine is not made by me alone. We work together to raise the stock price. You and I secretly take action and slowly sell off the Hutchison Whampoa shares in our hands, which is enough to cash out a large amount of cash for you and me. Although you and I have some in this acquisition war, There are wins and losses, but a lot of money has been consumed and many speculators have been made cheaper. Now it is time to get back what we deserve.

When the funds are cashed out and the stock price plummets, Xu Sheng, you can buy my shares at a low price, or use the cashed out money to increase shares in Hutchison Capital. Both you and I will benefit. Isn't this the best of both worlds? "

Xu Zhi smiled, nodded and said, "Awesome, this method is indeed very good."

What Li Jiacheng said was correct. Li Jiacheng became extremely indebted during this acquisition war, but Xu Zhi was not much better. He had invested a lot of money earned from oil futures. If nothing was done, the acquisition war would be over. , the stock price plummeted, and Xu Zhi also suffered heavy losses on his books.

This was actually the case in the battle for Wharf in later generations. Bao Yugang spent HK$2.1 billion to acquire 20% of Wharf stock. The next day, the stock price immediately fell from 105 to 74. Coupled with the huge interest, Bao Yugang immediately suffered losses on his books. HK$700 million.

Shen Bi couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, that's it for today, Xu Sheng, you can make a high-profile announcement about mobilizing funds from overseas, and our HSBC will also announce another low-interest loan to Li Sheng, just to add fuel to the fire." Bar!"

Don’t come back with thousands of rewards. This will seriously threaten my Buddhist system update...
