Reborn Tycoon Rise

"Then I wonder if Yongheng Bank can temporarily approve an emergency loan for me?" Lei Juekun also knew the other party's purpose, so he asked calmly.

Lin Haifeng smiled and said: "Of course this is not a problem, but I have no right to make the decision on this matter. Lei Sheng has to negotiate with our chairman."

Lei Juekun nodded and agreed, then asked: "I wonder if Lin Sheng has found out who is buying it?"

Lin Haifeng smiled with satisfaction: "We haven't found out who is secretly acquiring the shares of Kowloon Bus, but we estimate that we will find out soon!"

Lei Juekun was a little confused and asked: "Will you know soon? What do you mean?"

Lin Haifeng said: "Actually, our bank was able to detect the anomaly in Kowloon Bus stock because the trading volume of Kowloon Bus stock has been increasing in recent days, with two to three million funds entering the market every day. In this case It’s hard not to find out, and based on previous transaction records, it’s obvious that the other party has either lost patience or is ready for a public takeover.”

"Then prepare a car immediately and go to your bank headquarters." Lei Juekun reacted quickly and ordered to the secretary next to him. He was preparing to go to the headquarters of Wing Hang Bank.

Wing Hang Bank was founded in 1937 and has a history of more than 40 years. Thanks to the efforts of two generations of the founding family, the Feng family, Wing Hang Bank has become one of the leaders among Chinese-owned banks in Hong Kong. Its scale is second only to Bank of East Asia acquired by Xu Zhi.

In addition to the normal deposit and loan business, the bank has also developed a securities department that specializes in serving many listed companies in Hong Kong. In addition to guiding companies to make a fortune when they go public, the profits in normal times are actually not high.

However, this kind of cooperative relationship can shorten the relationship with these companies, which can bring a large amount of deposits and loan business. This is also the way for most banks in Hong Kong to survive. Even HSBC has a bank specifically for listed companies. Huduoli Securities, which serves, specializes in providing professional advice for company listings or mergers and acquisitions. When Bao Yugang acquired Wharf, it was Huduoli Securities that he entrusted.

Lei Juekun's Rolls-Royce quickly arrived at the door of Wing Hang Bank. Feng Songping, chairman of Wing Hang Bank, was already waiting at the door of the bank.

"Lei Sheng, welcome." After Lei Juekun got off the car, Feng Songping shook hands and said with a smile.

Lei Juekun shook his hand and said with a smile: "Feng Sheng, you are good enough this time to discover the crisis in our company!"

"Lei Sheng, it actually doesn't matter. This is what we should do." Feng Songping pushed up his thick glasses and said, "Please."

The two soon arrived at the president's office on the top floor of the bank building.

"I just got new news. The securities company that has been secretly acquiring Kowloon Bus shares is a securities company under Standard Chartered Bank." Feng Songping said after they both sat down.

"Standard Chartered Bank?" Lei Juekun was stunned for a moment, but without any panic, he asked, "Are you sure?"

"OK!" Feng Songping nodded and said: "People from Standard Chartered contacted a shareholder of Kowloon Bus with the intention of acquiring his shares at a high price. However, the price was not negotiated. I tried many inducements and got the answer from this shareholder. "

"Standard Chartered Bank is already contacting KMB's shareholders, which means that it is meaningless to just look at the trading volume of the stock market, right?" Lei Juekun asked calmly.

"Yes, the shareholder I tested does not hold many shares. According to common sense, if you want to acquire a company, you must first contact shareholders with relatively high shareholdings. In other words, Standard Chartered Bank has most likely contacted many We don’t know exactly how many shares were acquired by shareholders or even directors,” Feng Songping explained.

"Then can we know who is behind Standard Chartered?" Lei Juekun asked with a frown. It is impossible for Standard Chartered Bank to acquire his own company because it is not in compliance with Hong Kong's banking laws. The only explanation is that Standard Chartered is acting on behalf of outsiders.

Feng Songping shook his head and said: "The shareholder doesn't know that I have arranged for people to investigate, but it may not be possible to find out, but the other party must have a strong background."

Lei Juekun asked: "Why?"

"Because Standard Chartered's approach is very inconsistent with the purpose of secret acquisitions." Feng Songping explained: "Generally, secret acquisitions of a company's stocks are basically very low-key, with the intention of acquiring enough shares within a period of time without causing stock price fluctuations. shares.

Although Standard Chartered Bank also tried to control the stock price some time ago, it used too much funds within a month, which is why we discovered the traces.

Standard Chartered Bank has so many talented people that it is impossible for it to make such a low-level mistake. The only explanation is that the people behind it are eager to acquire Kowloon Bus in a short time. Even if they are exposed, they don't care if they spend more money. "

Lei Juekun did not speak after hearing this. Instead, he pondered for a moment and then asked: "If I mobilize funds now, I don't know how much help Yongheng can provide."

"One hundred million Hong Kong dollars." Feng Songping raised a finger and said, "This is the biggest right I have at the moment. If you need more funds, you have to go through certain procedures."

Although Wing Hang Bank is a family bank, it sold half of its shares to the Irving Trust Group in New York as early as 1973. Although the American side does not participate in the core management, all finances are monitored by the other party and can be transferred without collateral. Loaning Lei Juekun 100 million Hong Kong dollars is the highest authority of his chairman.

Lei Juekun nodded and said, "Okay, then mobilize 100 million Hong Kong dollars for me immediately. I will also mobilize funds from other channels."

"Lei Sheng, we don't know who your opponent is yet. Are you sure you want to spend such a high price to acquire your company's shares?" Feng Songping asked. Once Lei Juekun also mobilizes funds to acquire KMB shares, the two sides will engage in gunfire. , the news is bound to leak, and the share price of Kowloon Bus can instantly double or even more. Without knowing the other party's strong economic strength, blindly borrowing and investing too much money may cause problems in other industries.

Lei Juekun shook his head and said: "It's better to have the funds ready and not use them than not having them when you need the money. Prepare it first, how to operate it, and wait until you know who the other party is."

Feng Songping nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll get ready immediately."

"Okay, let me know as soon as you find out who is behind it." Lei Juekun nodded and said. Before he knew who his opponent was, he actually did not dare to use bank loans and other companies' liquidity at will. Xiangjiang and the like Many acquisition wars have broken out in the past few years. When a weak company confronts a strong company, if you insist on holding on, you will basically lose everything.

Feng Songping said: "I will try my best to investigate, but Standard Chartered Bank is one of the top banks in Hong Kong. It may not be possible to get the person behind it from them, so Lei Sheng had better make second-hand preparations. "

Lei Juekun frowned and said, "What does Feng Sheng mean?"

Feng Songping said: "The Lei family has controlled Kowloon Bus for so many years. There must be people who are good friends with the Lei family among the many directors of Kowloon Bus. Since someone wants to acquire KMB, it is very likely that the other party has already contacted these people. The directors have communicated, maybe one of them knows who is behind this?"

Lei Juekun frowned and said: "Before today, I didn't get any news. These people should have sold their stocks. It's probably meaningless to ask them again."

"I don't think so." Feng Songping said with a smile: "Leisheng, you only own 20% of the shares of Kowloon Bus. Although you are the largest shareholder, as far as I know, the shares of many directors on the board of directors add up to more than 35%. In addition, In stock market transactions, if these people had sold their shares, then the people behind Standard Chartered Bank would have successfully made a public acquisition long ago."

Lei Juekun thought about it and thought it made sense, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Feng Songping smiled and said: "These people have not taken action, they are just waiting for you."
