Reborn Tycoon Rise

Hong Kong, Hong Le Building, Goldman Sachs Hong Kong Branch:

Gao Yada came out happily and said with a smile: "Welcome Xu Sheng and Yao Dazhuang!"

Xu Zhi is now the largest client of the Xiangjiang branch. More than 10 million US dollars of liquidity are controlled by Goldman Sachs. Although he can only buy stocks designated by Xu Zhi, for him, it is also a beautiful addition to his resume. of a sum.

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Manager Gao is too polite."

"Please come inside!" Gao Yada said politely.

Walking into the inner office, everyone sat down, and the secretary quickly prepared coffee.

Gao Yada said: "I wonder why Xu Sheng came here today?"

Xu Zhidao: "Two things. First: I want to know about the acquisition of stocks of Changjiang and Huang."

Gao Yada nodded and smiled: "Okay, wait a moment."

After saying that, he took out a folder from the bookshelf at the back of the office and handed it to Xu Zhidao: "This is the form of all your account records at Goldman Sachs, Xu Sheng, in the past few months. It contains detailed daily records." The purchase price and amount are tabulated at the end of each day, along with the analysis of our professional traders.”

Xu Zhi took it and opened it and took a few glances at it. There were all kinds of complicated data analysis on the table. After a while, it became unclear. However, fortunately, there was a simple summary at the end of each day's report: Cash spent and average acquisition price.

After making a profit at Wharf, Xu Zhi made an after-tax profit of almost 120 million Hong Kong dollars, of which almost 50 million Hong Kong dollars were converted into 10 million U.S. dollars and went to the United States, and another 10 million Hong Kong dollars were transferred for his own use. At that time, Goldman Sachs Xu Zhi holds almost HK$60 million.

Xu Zhi's commission is also very simple. Just like the original Wharf stock, as long as it does not affect the market share price and does not attract attention, he will make every effort to acquire the stocks of Cheung Kong Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa.

However, at that time, the stock market had already revealed that Yangtze River Industries intended to annex Wharf. Facing Jardine Matheson’s counterattack, Yangtze River’s stock fluctuated greatly. This was no longer a fluctuation that normal analysts could measure, so Goldman Sachs did not invest too much. A large amount of money was invested in the acquisition of Yangtze River stocks, and the main force was placed on another big elephant in the stock market - Hutchison Whampoa.

Hutchison Whampoa was formed from the merger of Hutchison Matheson and Whampoa Dockyard Company last year, referred to as Hutchison Whampoa. After the merger, it owns 8 blue-chip companies in the Hong Kong stock market, and its assets are extremely rich: it owns a large stake in the only Hung Hom Undersea Tunnel in Hong Kong, the first The two major supermarket chain groups, Hong Kong's largest container terminal company, multiple properties and hotels in Central Kowloon, etc.

However, before 1974, Hutchison's investment front was too large, and it suffered serious losses on overseas investments. And now that the Federal Reserve is raising interest rates, even with abundant capital, it is difficult to get out of the huge debt.

When Hutchison went bankrupt in 1975, the total value of the stock market was only HK$350 million. Now, under the management of Hong Kong's most famous "corporate doctor" Wei Li, the market value has begun to rebound. When it merged with Whampoa Dockyard last year, the market value exceeded 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Xu Zhi read some of the final summaries for a while. Goldman Sachs had spent more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars in the past two months and successfully acquired almost 3% of Hutchison Whampoa's shares. The reason why it was so slow was because there was too much movement in Wharf and major British banks. Capital banks began to check their shareholdings and shareholder information to prevent a recurrence of the Wharf incident.

Xu Zhi asked: "According to the current situation, the remaining funds are estimated to be spent in one or two months. So Gaosheng, if I still have funds to enter the market in the future, then Gaosheng thinks the maximum number of stocks we can acquire without attracting attention."

Gao Yada gave Xu Zhi a deep look and said: "It seems that Xu Sheng really has some shocking plan, but it is really difficult to target Hutchison Whampoa. I advise Xu Sheng to give up!"

Xu Zhixiao asked: "How to say?"

Gao Yada said: "Currently, the four major foreign banks in Xiangjiang, Jardine Matheson, Wheelock, and Swire are all family businesses. The only one, Hutchison Whampoa, has experienced bankruptcy and the family power has been eliminated. Moreover, it has been involved in multiple financings. , the equity has been extremely dispersed. In theory, with sufficient funds, it is easiest to acquire Hutchison Whampoa.

But the trouble lies with HSBC, because it is currently Hutchison Whampoa's largest shareholder, holding 33.65% of the shares, and it is also Hutchison Whampoa's largest creditor. It has almost achieved control. Xu Sheng just wants to invest. This is no problem, but he wants to An acquisition is really unlikely.

If Xu Sheng wants to acquire a listed company, just tell us the type or target you want, and we at Goldman Sachs can fully cooperate and provide a suitable acquisition plan! "

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "I just want to acquire Hutchison Whampoa's stocks. Gao Sheng's imagination is really rich. How did the Gao Sheng know that I wanted to acquire a company or even Hutchison Whampoa?"

Gao Yada smiled and replied: "Xu Sheng is currently an important customer of our Goldman Sachs. The reason why our Goldman Sachs can become the world's top financial company is that in addition to its huge financial resources and resources, providing customers with the best business solutions is also an important task. one.

Xu Sheng's current net worth is actually not low in Xiangjiang, and according to the feedback from our US headquarters, Xu Sheng's arcade games are also very popular in the United States, but sometimes having money may not necessarily lead to the corresponding social status. Xu Sheng is currently What is lacking is influential industries, and acquiring a listed company is the best choice. "

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "It is indeed a good method, but Hutchison Whampoa's capital is as high as one billion, and even selling my kidneys is not enough for me!"

Gao Yada smiled and said: "Xu Sheng, there is a famous saying in Xiangjiang: It is better to borrow money if you have money.

In the city of Xiangjiang, those who do business do not look at how much money they have, but how much money they can borrow.

It is the last word to make a fortune using other people's funds. Only the poor will save their hard-earned funds and then be loaned out by the bank! "

Xu Zhi nodded and smiled: "I understand this, but I currently have no intention of acquiring a listed company, let alone Hutchison Whampoa. Even if Goldman Sachs dares to lend me money, I don't dare to ask for it. It's not interest." The problem with funds is that Hutchison Whampoa is still suffering serious losses. I don’t know how to run it. It would be a suicide to take it back. Not to mention that there is a large consortium like HSBC behind Hutchison Whampoa. The reason why Hutchison Whampoa has turned losses into profits in recent years is HSBC’s low-interest loans and resource assistance are the most important reasons.”

Gao Yada nodded and said: "Yes, Hutchison Whampoa is indeed not a good target, but if Xu Sheng is interested in any company, we at Goldman Sachs are willing to provide financial assistance."

Xu Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Then if I want to buy land and build a building, can Goldman Sachs help?"

Gao Yada was stunned for a moment, nodded and smiled: "Of course. I wonder which piece of land Xu Sheng has chosen?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "This is just an idea. Since Goldman Sachs is willing to help, I will pay attention to some land policies in the next period of time, and then we will cooperate again."

Gao Yada said: "Okay, that's no problem. Then what is Xu Sheng's second thing?"

Xu Zhidao: "Actually, it's nothing. I'm planning to set up my own securities company. The shares in Goldman Sachs will need to be transferred by then, but in the future, we will have new cooperation!"

Gao Yada also understood that this is actually very common in Xiangjiang. Larger companies have their own securities companies. After all, only their own people can be trusted.

After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I believe we will have more cooperation in the future!"
