Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Wu Zhengguang explained: "They are buying up the stocks of various listed companies in the securities firms. The stock prices of Universal and Wharf have now been entrusted."

"Isn't this a good thing?" The Chartered Ship King said noncommittally: "What? Do you think that after Ah Chen took over the land, he still wanted to catch us all?"

Wu Zhengguang opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer this question. He naturally didn't believe that Yang Chen would do such a thing, but when he thought about what happened before, he still felt somewhat worried.

Seeing that his son-in-law was silent, the charter king waved his hands and said: "Okay, if you are worried, just call Hang Seng Bank and ask. I believe Ah Chen will not do such irrational things."

"Okay, Dad." Wu Zhengguang nodded, turned and left the study, not disturbing his father-in-law's work.

After Wu Zhengguang left, the charter king picked up the newspaper again and read it seriously.

To be honest, for Zheng Haiquan and his group to take advantage of this crisis to take down Hongkong Land, he also had to capitalize the word "convincing".

Don't look at Niu Bijian's method of mutual control of shares, which caused countless people to laugh at Jardine Harmony's timidity, but the charter king knew very well that that method was the best way to ensure that Jardine Harmony Group would not be peeped by the outside world.

At least, heavyweight Chinese-funded tycoons like his charter king have no interest in touching the Jardine Group with its head retracted into a tortoise shell.

What they can't do, others have done, should you be convinced or not?

Obviously, the Chartered Ship King himself was convinced, and he also admired Yang Chen's discerning vision.

When he was at HSBC, Zheng Haiquan was just a small supervisor of a part. Now that he is in Yang Chen's hands, the other party took down the land company for Boss Yang as soon as he made a move. His ability is nothing short of amazing.

Although there is a lot of luck in it, but as the saying goes, whoever wins and loses, who cares about those negligible processes in the middle at this time, everyone only understands one truth, that is, whoever wins is the king.

As for the process, no one will go into it.

At the same time, the Chartered Ship King also had a new understanding of Yang Chen, and he didn't know how to describe Yang Chen's character of revenge.

Young people, youthful vigor is not scary, talent is not scary, and ability to make money is not scary.

The frightening thing is that he is capable, rich, and forbearable. The most important thing is that he has the character of revenge.

Such people are terrible.

Even the charter king who has been in the business world for decades, when he thought of the other party's deliberate plans to set such a trap for Jardine, for this reason, he even did not hesitate to offend those who had supported him.

Thinking of this, the charter king couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He couldn't even believe that this was something done by a young man who was about twenty years old.

Originally, he thought that after Yang Chen came back from Thailand, he would teach him a lesson, talk about the other party, put on the identity of an elder, and vent his anger.

Now, the charter king has no such thoughts at all.

Who knows if the other party will hold grudges, and if he will leave that day, will he accuse his daughters and son-in-laws of grudges?

Furthermore, with Yang Chen's current status, it's not easy for him to say those words that teach people face to face.

After all, he is different from Father Xue and Huo Daheng, the relationship between the two is not so good that he can teach each other casually.

Chapter 794 Superman Li Worried

Hutchison Whampoa Building on the other side

When everyone left the company after get off work, Li Chaoren was still in his office looking at the report in hand.

After the land changed hands, Zheng Haiquan and others shifted their targets to major British-funded listed companies and Chinese-funded listed companies. Among them, Li Chaoren’s Hutchison Whampoa and Cheung Kong’s two listed companies became key acquisition targets.

In a short period of time, the downward trend of the stock prices of the two companies under Li Chaoren was immediately stopped by Zheng Haiquan and others.

It stands to reason that Li Chaoren, as the big boss of the two companies, should be happy when the stock price stopped falling. Live in fear.

He is not afraid of the Changshi Company he founded, because although the Changshi shares he holds have not reached full control, they are not much different.

Moreover, the shares he holds are personal holdings, not cross-holdings between two companies.

On this point, outsiders have no way to put pressure on him through a third party or other shareholders.

But Hutchison Whampoa is different. Earlier, HSBC sold 20.00% of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa to Li Chaoren at a low price, making him a major shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa in one fell swoop.

Taking advantage of this stock price drop, Li Chaoren is also secretly absorbing the shares of Hutchison Whampoa, but it has to be added up to reach [-]% of the shares.

If it were changed to before, 20.00% of the shares would be a relatively safe ratio. You must know that in the early years, the major shareholders of many listed companies in Xiangjiang basically had [-]% of the shares and could completely control a company.

It's no longer possible now, even if it holds [-]% of the shares, it may not be impossible to be replaced by others. The loss of Landmark not only rings a bell for others, but also makes Li Chaoren's back break out in cold sweat.

Among the four major foreign firms in Xiangjiang, Jardine, Swire, Wheelock and Hutchison, among the four major foreign firms, Wheelock and Hutchison rank at the bottom, and their strength is much smaller than that of the previous two.

Of course, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Anyone who sees such a fat piece of Hutchison Whampoa can't help feeling greedy.

Li Chaoren is now afraid, afraid that the Hutchison Whampoa he finally obtained will be taken away by others in an instant.

Looking at the right-hand man in front of him, Li Chaoren asked in a deep voice, "Did you find out? How many Hutchison shares did Hang Seng Bank buy?"

"Should be closer to ten percent"

"So many." Li Chaoren couldn't sit still when he heard this number, and jumped up from the boss chair.

"They didn't hide it at all this time. Under the banner of stabilizing the Xiangjiang stock market and helping various strong listed companies to stabilize the stock price, they frantically swept up the tradable shares in the market."

"Ten percent, ten percent..." Li Chaoren walked back and forth with his hands behind his back.

In one day, he bought [-]% of Hutchison's shares in the market, which made him not anxious.

No one knows whether the other party has secretly purchased Hutchison Whampoa's shares before. If it continues tomorrow, his position as the major shareholder will have to be replaced.

For a moment, Li Chaoren, who has always been calm and calm, couldn't help showing his rare nervousness.

Think about how Yang Chen dealt with the charter king this time. In order to win the Landmark Company, the other party first made a move to find trouble with the charter king, and forced the charter king to sell the Jardine shares he held.

You must know that the Chartered Ship King had supported Yang Chen in the past, and the businessman only had interests in his eyes. This point is not a lie. No matter how good the relationship is, once there is an interest dispute between the two parties, it is common for them to turn their faces.

His relationship with Yang Chen is average, and his relationship with Father Xue is also average. If the other party really focuses on Hutchison Whampoa, then things will be a big deal.

Rely on HSBC?

Let's not talk about anything else, the current cooperative relationship between HSBC and Yang Chen can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. Li Chaoren is just someone supported by HSBC to manage Hutchison Whampoa, and he is completely incomparable with Yang Chen.

The relationship between the two is clearly defined. Without the support of HSBC, it would be difficult for Li Chaoren, as a Chinese, to control a British foreign firm like Hutchison Whampoa.

Although he wasn't sure whether HSBC would help him, and whether Yang Chen had really set his sights on Hutchison Whampoa, Li Chaoren felt that he still had to meet Shen Congee first.

It is not Li Chaoren's character to sit and wait for something to happen before reacting.

In addition to his extraordinary business acumen, Li Chaoren was able to go from a plastic flower factory to where he is today. Another reason is that he has a particularly strong sense of urgency.

Whenever a major event occurs, he can get the result through various aspects of reaction, and then make full preparations to obtain opportunities behind the crisis.

Just do what you say, Li Chaoren is also a vigorous and resolute person, he can't sit still, so he can only go to Shen Congee for a cup of tea to make him feel at ease.
