Hong Kong Movies: The Boss's Global Empire

Qi Dezun was forced to step down.

Then it was taken over by HSBC. Wealley was ordered to restructure Hutchison.

After more than a year, Hutchison stopped losses.

In 1977, it merged with Whampoa Dockyard to form Hutchison Whampoa.

HSBC then sold Hutchison Whampoa to Li Huanggua, and Wei Li resigned.

Start your own business.

This person has close ties with all the wealthy families in Hong Kong.

The reason why Huang Shitong advised Lu Wendong to acquire more shares was because of Wei Li.

"Yes."

Huang Shitong said, "So Lu Sheng also knew this." "In that case..."

Lu Wendong waved his hand and said, "Uncle Tong, thank you for chairing the board meeting. We will attend together later." "As soon as possible!"

He has his own ideas.

Huang Shitong was a little puzzled. Since Lu Sheng knew Wei Li,

Why is there such a loophole? However, after such a long time of contact,

Huang Shitong thought Lu Wendong was a man of great wisdom and decision-making, and he was truly extraordinary.

Maybe he has other ideas.

He nodded in agreement.

soon.

An announcement set off a storm in the Hong Kong Island business district! Hutchison Whampoa issued a public notice.

Announced that Lu Wendong has become the largest shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa!

As soon as the news came out,

Suddenly people were on their backs.

Chen Taotao, who was watching business news, suddenly sat up straight, staring at the TV screen with his eyes wide open.

Lu Wendong became a major shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa so quickly? Last time,

Chen Taotao has decided to support Lu Wendong's acquisition of Henderson Land Development.

Who knew that there was no news from Lu Wendong afterwards, which made Chen Taotao think that Lu Wendong had changed his mind.

More than just changing your mind,

This Lu Wendong was completely unexpected!

Why did they go and acquire Hutchison Whampoa for no reason?

Chen Taotao heard that Wheelock was undergoing internal restructuring, seemingly with the introduction of a major shareholder.

He pondered for a moment.

I always feel like there seems to be something wrong here.

The secretary announced, "President, Line 1, headquarters calling." Chen Taotao immediately answered the phone: "This is Chen Taotao." "Hello, Mr. Chen."

"The company received a report saying that you recently approved a massive loan of HK$60 billion?" Chen Taotao frowned. "Yes, Sir."

I had already reported this to the board of directors before approving the loan. Why are they checking this again now?

Is someone behind this?

"I've reviewed this loan. The other party's qualifications are excellent, and the collateral is sufficient." "It's a very good deal."

"NO."

The person on the other end of the phone said, "We think this loan is problematic and needs to be renegotiated." Chen Taotao immediately said, "That's impossible."

"First, the loan has been issued and the money has already been deposited into someone else's account." He paused and said, "The money is not held in this bank."

The person on the other end of the phone was speechless. The money is not in this bank?

That guy is the boss! "Second."

"This lender just acquired Chinese Estates Holdings, which is worth $15 billion," Chen Taotao said. "It's already well-known in Hong Kong Island."

"If word gets out that we're withdrawing loans at this point, firstly, we might not be able to withdraw them smoothly. Secondly, if things get out of hand, who would dare to borrow from this bank in the future?"

Banks are in the business of borrowing money from the left and lending it out with the right. The most important thing in this business is credit!

before,

Wantong Bank had already dealt with Lu Wendong once. At that time,

Mr. Lu was unknown and had no reputation, and the amount of the loan was not that large, so it was naturally no big deal.

It’s different now.

Lu Wendong is no longer the same as before.

And this loan is as high as 60 billion! This is not a question of whether to withdraw the loan or not.

Instead, banks should pray that borrowers do not have any problems!

Chen Taotao continued, "Of course, if you are willing to take this risk and issue me a written document." "Then I will carry out your orders unconditionally."

Vantone Bank is a listed company. If there is no sufficient reason,

Chen Taotao will not help take the blame.

The other party quickly said: "NO, NO, I just called to find out the situation."

"You are the actual person in charge of the Hong Kong Island business. As long as you are sure, we have no objection." "Sir."

Chen Taotao suddenly asked, "Excuse me, is there someone behind this?" "No, no, this is just a routine question."

The other side followed up with a voice: "Mr. Chen, you did a great job. You opened such a large order right after arriving in Hong Kong Island. I hope you can keep up the good work." Chen Taotao felt that there must be someone playing tricks here.

His eyes turned: "Sir, I actually have something to report to you." "Our lender recently has a new loan demand..."

"oh….

The person on the other end of the phone said, "Mr. Chen, as long as it's within the company's scope, you can make your own decision." "Good luck."

Chen Taotao shook his head, damn ghost,

Speak hesitantly.

After thinking for a while, he called Lu Wendong and said, "Mr. Lu, congratulations on your successful acquisition of Chinese Estates." "It's too early to tell."

Lu Wendong smiled and said, "Maybe we can say that after the reorganization is completed." He was on his way to the entertainment industry.

"Mr. Lu is always so humble."

Chen Taotao said, "Mr. Lu, it's from Wheelock."

Lu Wendong pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Chen is a trustworthy person. I won't hide it from you. Wheelock has been acquired by me."

Chen Taotao was shocked.

He had thought about it before, but quickly rejected it.

To know,

Wheelock was one of the four largest trading companies in Hong Kong.

Even the wealthy and powerful Hutchison Whampoa failed to successfully acquire Wheelock.

Even if Lu Wendong had 60 billion in cash, there was no reason for him to be able to take it. Now,

Chen Taotao's mind was buzzing, and he suddenly thought of a question.

In addition to this Chinese Estates,

Wasn't Lu Wendong already one of the top ten chaebols in Hong Kong? He had actually witnessed the birth of a chaebol with his own eyes?

"Mr. Lu.

Chen Taotao couldn't help but sigh,

He came from Wall Street and had seen too many miracles.

The favorite game in that place is gambling.

If you win, you get 68 yuan; if you lose, you lose 32 yuan.

The win-loss ratio is 9:1.

There's no conspiracy behind it.

The chips are exchanged for real money.

If someone doesn't dare to bet, or bet heavily,

Then he is a fool.

This is what Wall Street is playing! Just like in recent years,

Barbarian tactics are becoming popular on Wall Street.

The way is to raise funds from the market by issuing junk bonds.

Then, the raised funds are used to acquire high-quality assets in the market. The method is very simple.

But it always works! So,

In recent years, many investment myths have appeared on Wall Street.

Chen Taotao dares to swear,

Of all the people he had ever met,

There is absolutely no one as outstanding as Lu Wendong!

"I wonder if our bank can offer you any other services?" Lu Wendong had already acquired Wheelock and Chinese Estates.

Chen Taotao felt like he was about to lose a big client.

"Mr. Chen is a top student on Wall Street. I believe he must know Wesray?" "Yes!"

Chen Taotao was surprised: "Mr. Lu, you want to enter the junk bond market? It seems that Hong Kong does not have the conditions for this yet."

A wealth myth has emerged in the American capital market.

A company called Wesray,

Acquired Gibson for $8100 million.

Wesray only paid $100 million from his own pocket.

The remaining $8000 million was raised entirely from various debt instruments.

Wesray's equity investment represented less than 1.24% of the total purchase price.

1982 years,

Gibson went public,

Wesray's initial investment of $1 million was rewarded with a return of $330 million in just 18 months.

A fabulous 330 times return on investment!

Junk bonds and leveraged buyouts played a key role in this.

Lawrence Lu laughed: “No, I want to ask Mr. Chen to come and help me.”

"I'm planning to spin off Wheelock's two companies, Scotiabank Investments and Real Estate Trust, to focus solely on investment." "I admire Mr. Chen's skills and vision, so I'd like to ask for his help."

Gold trading in Hong Kong Island is very active.

Futures, spot,

All kinds of transactions can be completed immediately in the trading market. Due to the strong demand for gold,

In order to safeguard the interests of Hong Kong Island,

The Hong Kong government specifically stipulated that only three companies were allowed to specialize in gold purchasing. Fengye Investment was one of them.

It was stipulated that gold could be purchased from London and then shipped to Hong Kong Island for sale.

As for property trusts,

Jointly established by the Maden family and the Zhang Yuliang family, it is mainly responsible for property investment.

This company has 10 billion in cash in its account! So,

Chen Taotao's intuition is not wrong. For now,

Lu Wendong really doesn't need to borrow money from the bank.

With Lu Wendong's personality,

He will not let go of the bank, the best financing institution.

Lu Wendong is planning to acquire the bank himself this time! Chen Taotao was stunned.

He didn't expect that Lu Wendong would actually set his sights on him.

He smiled bitterly: "Mr. Lu, I hope you can take out a loan, who knows..." Lu Wendong laughed: "Mr. Chen, the world is unpredictable."

"Hong Kong Island is a fast lane, so we have to speed up and keep up." "Let's do this."

Lu Wendong looked at the time: "After you get off work, I'll have someone pick you up."

"Let's have a quick meal together. Let's not discuss cooperation for now. As friends, I'll give you a problem." Chen Taotao suddenly felt competitive: "Solve a problem? I'm great at that."

Lu Wendong smiled and said, "My question is, if I plan to acquire a bank, which one is the most suitable within 10 billion?" "See you tonight!"

Lu Wendong got out of the car.

Huang Shitong, who had arrived earlier, trotted over and said, "Lu Sheng, everyone is here." "It's a big deal, Wei Li is here too."

Chinese Estates Holdings said it was a listed company.

In fact, it is the private property of the Feng and Li families.

Now all the shares of Feng family have been transferred to Lu Wendong,

That would confront him.

It was the Li family who caused the trouble.

“How many do they have?”

Huang Shitong paused and said, "If they're united enough, they could pool together 35% of the shares." "However, I believe it won't exceed 30% at most."

Huang Shitong lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Li introduced me to his good friend Mr. Kong Xianshao, who owns 5% of the shares." "Uncle Tong is really a veteran, so take it."

With this 5%,

Lu Wendong's shares jumped to 48%!

Unless this Wei Li is so powerful that he can unite all other shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa,
