Rise up Hong Kong! Build a super wealthy Zhuang family

Chapter 46 Negotiating with the Charter King and Closing the Deal

Another week has passed.

During this period, with Zhuang Rongxu's secret fueling, the Wharf War had entered the war of the century ahead of schedule, and both sides were stunned.

A few days ago, Mr. Bao was attending a shipping industry conference abroad. According to his schedule, he was going to meet with Mexican fitters next Monday.

But a piece of news came from Xiangjiang, which forced him to immediately refuse the meeting with Menango's fitters and hurried back to Xiangjiang by plane.

It turned out that Landmark wanted to take advantage of Mr. Bao's absence in Xiangjiang to take advantage of Wharf's bargain hunting.

Land reported on that day that Land's shares were quoted at approximately HK$100 in exchange for Wharf shares, which had a market price of HK$90 per share at that time.

Threatening not to let Wharf be robbed by others, Land Company announced at the time that the total equity it wanted to acquire would account for approximately 49% of the total shares of Wharf.

This news reached Mr. Bao, who was still in the mood to participate in any activities.

Chartered a flight overnight to return to Xiangjiang.

As soon as he came back, he made a big move and directly announced the acquisition of 20 million shares of Wharf at 105 Hong Kong dollars per share. The acquisition was only available when the quota was reached. At that time, Shen Bi, the senior manager of HSBC Bank, was used to speak for him and help him complete the acquisition.

The general manager of Land Land, Mr. Bao Fuda, and the general manager of Jardine, Mr. Niubijian, were so angry that they gnashed their teeth. Even Henry Keswick, executive chairman of Jardine Matheson Group, showed up and held an emergency meeting at Jardine Matheson that day.

After Mr. Bao released the news, he was asked to acquire 12% of the equity for two consecutive days. At this time, Bao Yugang took advantage of the victory and immediately held a press conference to spread the news.

The people at Jardine Group are so anxious.

Mr. Bao, who owned more than 40% of the shares, had no intention of stopping, so he went to Huaqi Bank in person to find Brett, the investment manager. He wanted to make an appointment with Zhuang Rongxu, who owned Wharf stocks.

Discuss trading Wharf shares.

Mr. Bao had already approached Brett before and wanted to make a deal at HK$100 per share, but Zhuang Rongxu deliberately offered a price of HK$110, so there was no agreement.

But now Master Bao has been made jealous, and he no longer cares about money.

Being able to talk to Brett means that he has accepted the transaction price of 110 Hong Kong dollars per share.

Wednesday, February 10, 1980.

On this day, Zhuang Rongxu came to Huaqi Bank early in the morning and sat in the VIP room waiting.

Sitting next to the VIP room where he was sitting were Mr. Bao from Global Shipping Group, Wu Guangzheng, and their legal and financial staff.

At Huaqi Bank, only the investment manager Brett and the legal affairs department were present.

"Sheng Bao, we have already asked our client for you. He is willing to trade all 8.2 million Wharf stocks he owns to you."

"You said he owns 8.2 million shares of Wharf?" Bao Yugang asked excitedly.

Before, he only knew that the other party owned a lot of Wharf stocks, and he thought it was only 2-3 million shares at most, but even 2-3 million shares were very important to his current situation.

Therefore, he would not hesitate to ask the other party to make a deal at 110 Hong Kong dollars per share.

Now that he knows that the other party owns 8.2 million shares, Mr. Bao is indeed very excited, because he already owns 42 million shares of Wharf, accounting for 42% of the equity. If he can capture the current 8.2 million shares, he will have full control of Wharf.

If you have more than 51% of the shares, you can also make an offer to other shareholders of Wharf, and the Wharf will completely become his Bao Yugang industry.

How not to make him excited.

"That's great. Manager Brett is really grateful to you. These 8.2 million shares are really important to me. I'm willing to close the deal immediately at a price of HK$110." Bao Yugang originally wanted to kill the price, but now he doesn't want to pay more. I just want to get the deal as soon as possible.

These 8.2 million shares are indeed very important to him. At present, almost all the stocks on the market have been wiped out by him and Land. Even if there are still some, they may be held by people who are not in Xiangjiang.

Therefore, if he wants to fully control Wharf, the 8.2 million shares in front of him are the best choice.

According to Hong Kong's listed company equity law, an individual's control of 49%-51% of any listed company's equity triggers absolute control and can make an offer to other shareholders of the company.

With a shareholding of more than 51%, it can be said that this company is already regarded as a private industry. As long as no major incident occurs in the company, no one can take away the company. This is absolute control.

"Of course, but Mr. Bao, my client said that the reason why he acquired Wharf is because his group plans to enter Hong Kong for development, so it needs land to build a building. Before trading stocks, my client needs you to agree to the transaction. A piece of land was given to him, and he was willing to lower the price and trade it at the market price of HK$105."

"He only needs a piece of land?" Bao Yugang asked questioningly.

"Yes, but the land price will be calculated based on the cost price of Wharf." Brett added again.

"Then what piece of land does he want?"

“The first choice is the land at No. 1 Matheson Street, Causeway Bay.”

"The second choice is the warehouse land at No. 3-27 Canton Road, Star Ferry Pier, Tsim Sha Tsui."

Bao Yugang was stunned when he heard about these two pieces of land. He couldn't help but look at Wu Guangzheng next to him. It seems that the two pieces of land that Brett mentioned made him very embarrassed.

Indeed.

The reason why Zhuang Rongxu chose these two pieces of land was because of his great background. One piece of land is the future center of Causeway Bay, where Times Square will be located in the future.

In addition, the Star Ferry Terminal is even more remarkable. It will become a world-famous super mall (Harbor City) in the future because it is close to Victoria Harbour, with beautiful scenery and a very advantageous geographical location.

I believe everyone knows the value of Harbor City in the future. The other two pieces of land are not just as simple as their strategic location. I believe many people know that under the previous operation of the British and Hong Kong governments, more than a dozen pieces of land with thousand-year land leases were left out in Xiangjiang.

The Harbor City and Times Square land parcels have millennium leases, and the contracts are for 999 years. This means that if one of the two pieces of land is obtained by Zhuang Rongxu, it will be extremely valuable in the future.

Faced with such a huge temptation, and now that he is in the initiative, he will definitely regret it if he does not take advantage of such good conditions to get a piece.

"Manager Brett, can you let me communicate with your client? I can give him other land at any time, but..."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bao. My client has already said that if Mr. Bao doesn't agree, he will go to Land to negotiate terms. I believe that the equity owned by my client is enough for Land to successfully control Wharf." Brett said very calmly. Say this.

The reason why Zhuang Rongxu was able to eat Master Bao to death was because the 8.2 million shares of Wharf in his hands were very important. No matter whether it is obtained by Mr. Bao or Land, the other party will lose the qualification to control the Wharf.

That's why he negotiated this condition.

Of course, if Zhuang Rongxu opens his mouth, Mr. Bao and Land are not fools, let alone the meat on the chopping board for you to slaughter.

It's good to see things well, and the conditions are not too good.

Seeing Brett being so determined, the conference room fell into silence.

Bao Yugang frowned and thought: "Mr. Brett, do you mind if I smoke a cigarette?"

"Of course, it's up to you."

Wu Guangzheng next to him immediately took out a cigarette and handed it to him, then lit it for him.

Originally, given Bao Yugang's physical condition, his personal doctor would not allow him to smoke. But in this situation, even his son-in-law Wu Guangzheng did not dare to stop him. He knew that Bao Yugang did not want to smoke, but relied on the essential oil of cigarettes to think.

Finished one cigarette.

"Prepare the contract and seal the deal."

As Bao Yugang finished speaking, Zhuang Rongxu, who was sitting in the VIP room next door, also heard it, and a victorious smile suddenly appeared on his face.
