Reborn Tycoon Rise

The butterfly effect can affect many things, but even if some things happen later, there are many reasons for them, and some of them may have been conceived long ago.

The same is true for Wharf being acquired. It has extremely good assets, conservative operations, and chaotic management. When this kind of company encounters the era of the rise of Chinese capital, it will inevitably be targeted by some predators. Even without Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang, there will be Others stepped in.

From Li Jiacheng's point of view, he wanted to expand. He had set a goal of exceeding the real estate market ten years ago and was always looking for opportunities. In 1977, he annexed the American-owned Yonggao Company, setting a precedent for Chinese-owned foreign capital to be acquired. , but Yonggao is just a small piece of meat, his ambition is a fat pig's trotter, and the fat Wharf will naturally be discovered by him, but because of the butterfly effect caused by Xu Zhi, the acquisition seems to have happened one month earlier than history moon.

Cheung Kong Industries Headquarters:

Li Jiacheng looked at the red sunset in the distance, thinking about some of the complicated things in the company, and couldn't help but be fascinated.

This year is the most important year in the development history of Cheung Kong Holdings. The reconstruction work of the Chinese Bank, which was taken over from HSBC last year, went extremely smoothly. According to the estimates of its architects, it will be completed by April next year.

This year, he acquired Yonggao Company and became a Chinese-owned hero in the hearts of the people.

This year, he defeated Land, Swire and many other consortiums to win the property construction rights of Admiralty Station and Chater Station of the MTR.

Just the previous month, he accidentally discovered a newspaper introducing the Wharf Company, and then he became interested in investigating the company. The latter result also satisfied him very much. This is a company with total assets of more than 5 billion, but a market value of only 1 billion.

Why does this happen?

First, the 1974 stock market crash has just passed, and many people suffered heavy losses. Especially many stock investors knew that some predators would manipulate stocks in reverse, so they stopped playing.

Second, housing prices began to skyrocket, and a lot of money entered the housing market.

This situation has resulted in a company that obviously has a large amount of land, but even if liabilities are deducted, the market value of these land far exceeds the market value.

This is the case in Wharf. The British guys in Yihe are stubborn and they know that land is valuable, so they are unwilling to sell even a piece of land, and they are not willing to sell the houses built on these lands. Instead, they slowly rent them out. retrieving capital.

This model is very effective for companies that do not have heavy debts. However, at this time, global bank money is tightening and interest rates are rising. Wharf is extremely indebted, and it also has to invest a lot of money to build Harbor City, the largest real estate project in Hong Kong. All of this led to the company's continuous losses.

Of course, to some extent, this approach is not wrong. As long as you survive this period, you can make a huge amount of money from rent every year in the future. In future generations, Harbor City’s annual rent will exceed 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. .

Li Jiacheng has always believed in the light-asset-assisted asset-heavy model. In his view, insisting on developing one's own and holding heavy assets is a foolish behavior, because it requires too high funds and will seriously drag down the company's cash flow. When the economy declines, the company is likely to fail.

After planning to secretly acquire Wharf stocks, he did not expect to encounter a serious rise in stock prices at the beginning. According to the conclusion of his stock market experts, there should be another mysterious fund that was secretly acquiring Wharf stocks, and it might be earlier than him, so he sent someone After investigating all the Wharf stocks some time ago, we finally found some clues. Goldman Sachs' financial company in Hong Kong had been secretly acquiring it two months ago. However, it is difficult to find out how much it acquired, and the other party also discovered him. Both parties They all stopped the acquisition in a tacit understanding.

"Li Sheng, the securities company responded with news that the stock price started to fall after we sold the stock, and the other party did not acquire it." Secretary Hong Xiaolian came in and said behind him.

After waiting for a while, Li Jiacheng sighed: "I don't know if this is good news or not."

The other party did not follow up, indicating that not only did the other party discover him, but he also recognized that his selling was just a test.

Hong Xiaolian asked: "Has the other party given up if they haven't acquired it yet?"

Li Jiacheng shook his head and said: "If it were me, I would never give up. Who would be willing to give up such a big piece of fat? But if everyone fights, it will only attract more hyenas, and maybe even wake up the elephant Yihe." , when the time comes, everyone will be in a hurry. Not only will they not make any money, but they will also make themselves look bad.”

Hong Xiaolian asked again: "Then what should we do? The securities department has stopped. Now should we sell at a high price or continue to acquire?"

Li Jiacheng thought for a long time and said: "Continue to make acquisitions, but slowly and slowly. First, slowly bring down the stock price. Don't let people from the Jardine family find out."

Hong Xiaolian nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

On the way back to the United States, Yao Mingcheng smiled and said: "Congratulations Xu Sheng, all the plans are finally completed."

Xu Zhidao: "That is also your main contribution, Lao Yao. If you hadn't gone to those companies to buy those people, Wharf would not have attracted the attention of these Chinese-funded predators today!"

Yao Mingcheng was naturally happy and said: "Yes! It cost hundreds of thousands to set up this game, and now it's finally time to reap the rewards."

Xu Zhi nodded and asked: "Lao Yao, how much money did you invest?"

Yao Mingcheng said: "It's only 300,000, but I didn't use leverage. Now that I think about it, I still regret it. I should have invested more!"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "This is not investment, this is gambling. It's just that this time we have made a small village. We may not necessarily win, but fortunately, we are basically 70% sure now."

Yao Mingcheng asked: "Xu Sheng, do you think who did it this time?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "I'm not sure, but it's very likely that it's Li Jiacheng of Cheung Kong Holdings. He has the ability, courage and ambition."

Yao Mingcheng said: "Xu Sheng seems to be very optimistic about Yangtze River Industries. When we decided to infiltrate several major Chinese companies, you were the most optimistic about Yangtze River Industries. In order to buy some of the clerks around Li Jiacheng, we paid a lot of money."

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "This small amount of money is nothing, but these people really dare to ask for money. Just asking them to deliver more newspapers designated by us to the president's office, they dare to offer tens of thousands of yuan."

Yao Mingcheng said: "Yes, but there is nothing we can do about it. Not many people can do this. Even some company executives cannot send newspapers up."

"Yes, as long as our goal is achieved, everything else is just a detail." Xu Zhi put his arm on the window, put his face on it, looked out the window and smiled.

In order to set up this situation, Xu Zhi and Yao Mingcheng racked their brains.

Investing in Wharf is a huge gamble and there is no room for failure. If Xu Zhi had just traveled through time and had a certain amount of money, there would be no need to worry at all. He could just go long on stocks and collect the money with his eyes closed.

However, because the influence of Kunlun and Drunken Master is too great, Xu Zhi is worried that it will affect Li Jiacheng's investment plan or time. You must know that Xu Zhi is doing long leverage. If the time is different from history, the huge interest can ruin it. Drop everything.

In order to replicate history as much as possible, Xu Zhi decided to ask several financial experts to introduce information about Wharf in newspapers and assessed the value of Wharf as extremely high.

Nowadays, it is different from the Internet era in later generations. The public’s understanding of the world or information comes from newspapers and TV stations. Although TV stations have a greater influence, due to operating relationships, most of their time is devoted to various programs and advertisements, and the time for real news is not many.

At this time, newspapers are even more important, because the content contained in them can be theoretically unlimited.

As rich people, most people have to read various newspapers every day, but there are too many types of newspapers, and the rich themselves are quite busy, so generally speaking, there will be a special secretary who goes through the newspapers first and then uploads the information he thinks is useful. submit.

Yao Mingcheng contacted these people and lured them with large sums of money to deliver these newspapers. Although these people's income is not low, it may be impossible for them to betray the company for a small amount of money. But what Yao Mingcheng asked to do was not considered a betrayal of the company, so an agreement was reached at a certain price.

Of course Xu Zhi was most optimistic about Li Jiacheng, but in order to increase other possibilities, he also agreed to spend a little more money to do the same with other rich people.

Although it cost hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, after all the hard work, someone finally took the bait and fell in love with Wharf, and the stock price was about to skyrocket from then on.
