We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Liu Luanxiong's securities company was already brightly lit outside, but he and Ah Chao had not gotten off work yet and were waiting for news.

ATV's midday news broadcast footage of Li Bancheng and Huang Yanfang going to Land, and then Jardine and Land's chief executive Simon Keswick also arrived. Although it was not stated explicitly, all Hong Kong residents who knew the news knew that there must be something going on.

When contacted by Southeast Finance this morning about Jardine Matheson’s news, many experienced investors had roughly guessed something.

This caused Land's stock, which was still falling in the morning, to actually rise slightly in the afternoon, making those leeks who did not stabilize in the morning regret it.

"bump". The door was pushed open, and Ah Chao ran in and panted, "Look at ATV Comprehensive Channel."

ATV General Channel is the main channel of ATV. Generally popular TV series with huge investment are broadcast on this channel. For example, ATV's latest ace variety shows Asian Idol and Happy Saturday are broadcast on this channel.

In addition, the news that Hong Kong people watch every day is also on the comprehensive channel, so this channel has also become the most watched channel on ATV.

Liu Luanxiong hurriedly picked up the remote control and turned the TV he was watching in the office to the comprehensive station, and saw that it was reporting information about Land.

“Basically, our frontline reporters learned that United Real Estate Company, a company led by Cheung Kong, Hutchison Whampoa Chairman Li Bancheng and Temasek tycoon Huang Yanfang, officially announced in the evening that it would acquire Hong Kong Island Land at a price of HK$65 per share.

In addition to Li Bancheng and Huang Yanfang, United Real Estate acquired this time as well as Fok Tyheng and Malaysian tycoon Robert Kuok.

Those who are interested in selling Land shares can go to Hang Seng Securities to do so. Our station will continue to pay attention to the follow-up for you..."

Knowing the answer he wanted, Liu Luanxiong had no intention of listening to the rest and turned off the TV.

"How many Land shares do we have? How much did we buy them for?"

Without thinking, Ah Chao reported "more than 42.6 million shares, with an average price of around HK$."

Liu Luanxiong bought Land's shares early, so the average price is naturally much lower.

“Are we selling?”.

"No" Liu Luanxiong waved his hand to stop Ah Chao, "Don't move these stocks yet and let me think about how to deal with them."

The news that United Land, composed of several major consortiums, wanted to acquire Island Land became known throughout Hong Kong overnight. The next day, the front pages of all newspapers were about the acquisition.

As soon as Li Bancheng arrived downstairs at the company the next day, he was surrounded by a large number of reporters, who wanted to dig out some explosive information from him.

Who made this acquisition of Island Land seem to be led by him and Huang Yanfang? Hong Kong people obviously recognize Li Bancheng more than Huang Yanfang.

The two of them were willing to have such fame. Li Bancheng directly asked his employees to bring these reporters inside Changshi, and prepared to contact Huang Yanfang to hold a small press conference, which also prevented these reporters from blocking the door and affecting the employees' work.

"Hello Li Sheng, I am a reporter from Southeast Daily. Who initiated the establishment of United Real Estate Company this time, and why did they suddenly take action against the real estate giant Hong Kong Island Land?"

Everything is ready, and the first person to ask a question must be Southeast Daily, a representative print media in Asia.

If we had to do the math, the two families could still be considered relatives. After all, they were all related to Luo Nianzhong.

"The establishment of United Real Estate this time was initiated by Huang Sheng and I. As for why we acquired Hong Kong Island Land, it must be for the people and future of Hong Kong Island.

We all know that Jardine Matheson Group has completed its reregistration, and Land is planning to delist on Hong Kong Island. However, the money Land earned on Hong Kong Island has been invested overseas by Jardine Matheson.

As a Hong Kong Islander, I despise this behavior of Land and Jardine.

It was Hong Kong Island that allowed Land and Jardine to reach their current scale, and it was the people of Hong Kong Island who nurtured these two companies. But now they are not repaying Hong Kong Island, but hollowing out Hong Kong people.

As a Hong Kong Islander who loves Hong Kong, I absolutely cannot ignore such matters, so I contacted Huo Daheng, Huang Sheng, Guo Sheng and others to form United Real Estate, with the purpose of keeping the money for Hong Kong Island real estate in Hong Kong Island. Let Hong Kong Island real estate become Hong Kong Island real estate.”

The effect of Li Bancheng's impassioned speech was quite good, at least the Chinese people present responded with warm applause.

"Hello Li Sheng, I am from the English Tiger News. I heard you just used the words "etc" in the list of United Land. I wonder who the other shareholders are? Can you tell us?"

The Standard is one of the largest English-language newspapers published locally in Hong Kong. The Sing Tao News Group behind it can be said to be the second largest newspaper media in Hong Kong. It is the same company as Sing Tao Daily, which ranks among the top newspaper sales in Hong Kong Island. of.

"I can only say that the others are investment institutions and financial institutions. As for the specific information, it is not convenient for me to disclose it. After all, I don't know if they are willing."

"Is there any Far Eastern department involved in this?" Li Bancheng is about to catch up with Far East's godson. How could these reporters believe it without the involvement of the Far East department?

"Yes, Far East Bank agreed to lend us HK$30 billion to acquire Hong Kong Island Land."

Wow, this is big news, Far East actually participated in this acquisition.

As for who cares whether it's just loans providing funding, these reporters just need big news to attract attention.

"Then Southeast Finance's report yesterday morning on the huge losses of Jardine Overseas was a front for this matter? Is it just to lower the share price of Island Land?"

"Total nonsense." Li Bancheng directly denied such a statement.

"The acquisitions of several of our companies began in secret a few months ago. We were all very optimistic about the stock of Hong Kong Island Real Estate. Who knew that when we came into contact, we actually held so many shares in each other, and this led to the formation of this joint venture. An opportunity for the company to acquire land.

If it was premeditated to suppress the stock price, why would we have to wait until now if we had implemented it a few months ago?

Moreover, Southeast Finance reported early yesterday that we launched an acquisition invitation for Island Land in the morning and announced our acquisition plan for Island Land in the evening.

If it’s to suppress the stock price, we don’t have to be in such a hurry.”

In fact, the United Consortium has not thought about this method, but gave up considering that it would be caught violating the securities laws of Hong Kong Island.

After all, the Keswick family has some connections in England. If the other party uses this as an excuse to forcefully intervene to prevent the acquisition, it will be troublesome.

This matter has already been settled in the first place, so we can't give the other party more excuses to look like bullying. We have to live up to our reputation even if we spend a little more money.

Therefore, the news of Southeast Finance is only used as a trigger to write a beginning for the following story, bringing out the face of Yihe that sucks the blood of Hong Kong people.

Let Hong Kong people know that Jardine Land and the Keswick family behind it do not care about the life and death of Hong Kong investors on Hong Kong Island and pass on their hatred.

In this way, even if the Keswick family really pays a huge price to get through to the British, MacLehose can still block it in the name of the Hong Kong people rioting and the Keswick family causing public outrage, which can be regarded as a complete solution to the possible troubles that may arise with the government.

“We can think about why we were able to acquire so many shares in just a few months and now join forces to become the largest shareholder of Island Land.

This is because most of the land is real estate and cannot be taken away, so Jardine’s control over the land is very weak, and it has no intention of increasing its shareholding. It is clear what its purpose is.”

Needless to say, Li Bancheng said that the minds of these reporters are much stronger than his.

The impromptu press conference ended in just over half an hour, but the media industry on Hong Kong Island became increasingly lively, with many newspapers putting out impromptu editions for sale.

All of a sudden, all kinds of speculation and analysis were flying all over the place, whether it was true or false, how to attract attention.

Among them, there are those who support the Chinese capital and wave the flag, and there are also those who vigorously defend Yingzi.
