Rebirth of the Tech Madman

"As the saying goes, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended. Jardine's Chairman Niu Bijian and Land's Managing Director Bao Fuda, these two are clever, no matter how to deal with such a scheming, it is very tricky. """ Tang Huan Also issued a compliment.

"What do you think is their ultimate goal?" Zhou Mi's tone was uncertain.

"The recent period of time should have shown that it only holds 20% of Wharf’s shares. In addition to quarreling with each other on the board of directors, they can’t do anything on business. This part of the assets has become a big deal for Jardine. Chicken ribs." Tang Huan was quite sure, "They should be trying to get away with Jin Chan and throw out the high price of the shares in their hands. Of course, if they can keep the Wharf, it is acceptable."

"The Supervision Office of Heung Kong Securities is holding a meeting to study the acquisition of Land Company. I don't know what to discuss." Zhou Mi smiled sarcastically and asked after looking at the time: "I'm going to contact Baojia. Wu Guangzheng, your second aunt?"

"Jihe chose Saturday and Sunday to launch the offensive when it is inconvenient to arrange funds. It is very well-intentioned. We have to appreciate it. Let the situation ferment for a while, so that we can reflect the value of our helping hands. When I arrive. Let's talk about Paris." Tang Huan picked up the briefcase and prepared to go to the airport.

Christina also attended the International Tanker Owners Conference, so she knew the whereabouts of the charter king better. Tang Huan, a stranger, quickly met the target person of the trip.

The sixty-year-old charter king has a slightly exhausted look on his face. The sudden attack by Yihe in Xiangjiang, thousands of miles away, made him very annoyed at the Wharf board meeting not long ago. Jardine’s chairman Niu Bijian was still chatting and laughing with him. Presumably the other party had already concealed evil intentions and paralyzed himself by acting.

Every businessman has his own set of business experience. The charter king’s strategy is to use the “three contracts” to obtain a bank loan contract with a charter party, and then sign a shipbuilding contract with a bank loan contract.

Specifically, the use of bank loans to expand financial leverage, assets and liabilities, while using long-term charter contracts to ensure stable income and repay principal and interest.

Such a business model is more aggressive than counterpart shipowners in Northern Europe and Greece. In this way, although the net assets of the charter ship king are not much, the total assets have expanded rapidly, and they have grown into the world ship king today.

The long-term chartering contract created by Charter King mainly comes from Japan. Its two major customers are "Nippon Steamship" and "Nippon Yamaguchi". The former almost closed down in June 1978, and the latter developed in accordance with the historical trajectory. It closed in August 1985, and the current situation can be imagined.

Although the charter king has not been dragged down by these two major customers. However, the performance risk of the "long-term chartering contract" has obviously increased, and the credit of the "bank loan contract" has been shaken implicitly. The almost bankruptcy of the "Japanese ship" caused HSBC to reduce its investment in the shipping industry.

The charter king’s business sense is naturally very keen, otherwise he would not seize a series of opportunities such as Egypt’s resumption of the Suez Canal in the 1950s, which caused the rise of world shipping costs, and the closure of the Suez Canal in the 1960s in the Middle East crisis. Won the reputation of "World Ship King".

Now, the charter king has clearly felt the chill of the world's shipping industry depression. Transformation and diversification are the only way out. Wharf is bound to win, but Yihe is repeatedly provoking.

Before Hong Kong, there was Jardine. The strength of this veteran British-owned foreign company is too strong.

And HSBC, which is closely related to the charter king, will end up on which side in this battle?

As its financial advisor, the HSBC subsidiary Victory Co., Ltd., is the response plan it provides feasible?

The charter king is changing his existing itinerary, such as canceling the meeting with the President of Mexico next Monday in order to return to Xiangjiang as soon as possible, sit on the scene, and fight for Jardine. The busyness brought about by this temporary change can be imagined. Had it not been for Christina of the Greek ship king family to personally lead the needle, he really didn't want to waste time seeing guests who did not make an appointment.

Tang Huan naturally knew that the charter king was short of time, so after a brief greeting, he directly took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to the other party.

The charter king took it over with a look of doubt, looked at it casually, and immediately became serious.

"My source of funds is a bank in Malaysia, and the United States, which can definitely stand up to it. It has nothing to do with Jardine. Don't worry, Mr. Bao." Tang Huan explained slowly.

"Why do you have so many Wharf stocks in your hand? Are you also interested in Wharf?" The charter king asked slowly.

"A gentleman is not in favor of others. I was only optimistic about this business opportunity at the beginning of the year." Tang Huan smiled slyly, "Yihe offered two stocks of land and a bond, totaling 100 Hong Kong dollars. I expect Mr. Bao to be sure. It’s more bold, complete cash acquisition, and the bid will not be less than 90 Hong Kong dollars, Xiao Tang, I like to put it in the pocket."

"This is really terrifying." The charter king shook his head with a wry smile. "If you plan to do this, you can stay in Xiangjiang and talk to my second son-in-law Wu Guangzheng. Why go all the way to Europe?"

"For a good customer like Mr. Bao, I am naturally obliged to provide after-sales service." Tang Huan's face was straightened. "Mr. Bao thinks that Jardine is desperately competing with you for the Wharf, in the final fight to the death?"

"Isn't that the case?" The charter king looked at the young man in front of him with interest.

"Jihe is so aggressive, it may not have used this to provoke Mr. Bao to cover up their true intentions of getting out of the shell." Tang Huan smiled playfully. Big brokerage houses and agency companies, after Mr. Bao issued a response announcement, these guys called Mr. Bao day and night, expressing their strong support, so that Mr. Bao could unknowingly purchase the property that was originally owned by rival Land. stock."

Upon hearing this, the charter king, who had experienced countless strong winds and waves in the business sea, almost invisible to his emotions, couldn't help but change his face. Xiangjiang did have such a seemingly positive reaction. At first, he thought that he was very popular. The strategy worked.

"Under the urgency of Jardine's step by step, Mr. Bao will also increase Wharf's shareholding ratio to 49%. Based on the price of 100 Hong Kong dollars, it is necessary to raise at least 2 billion Hong Kong dollars. It is estimated that only HSBC can provide support. I believe HSBC is also willing to do this transaction. I don’t know what kind of cash purchase price advice HSBC’s subsidiary Victory Co., Ltd. has given, HKD 103?" Tang Huan’s face is intriguing. The look becomes more and more obvious.

The charter king picked up the cup, was silent for a long time, and finally laughed loudly, "Xiao Tang, you came to me so hard, you must have some thoughts in your heart, you might as well speak out frankly."

"I have always admired a highly respected Chinese business leader like Mr. Bao, and I naturally look forward to working together sincerely." After a few compliments, Tang Huan expressed his plan, "Adding up the shares of our two families, It should be more than 45%. I believe that with Mr. Bao’s energy, it’s no problem to purchase a portion of 51% quietly. In order not to touch the 51% shareholding ratio, it is necessary. Initiating the compulsory comprehensive acquisition process and increasing the financial pressure, Mr. Bao can leave me a small percentage of shares, and then drag it as far as possible. As long as the Heung Kong Securities Supervision Office does not question, we will leisurely regard it as a cocoon of Yihe and continue to perform one-man shows. "

Speaking of this, Tang Huan stretched out three fingers, "After doing this, Mr. Bao got what he wanted, and I also got great benefits. One is that I made a price difference from Mr. Bao, and the other is Mr. Bao had a familiar face in front of him. As for the three, after the land under the name of Jardines was tossed in this way, there was a time to go."

"It's really heartbreaking for young people to do things so frankly and openly." After listening to Tang Huan's advice, the charter king kept admiring him.

According to this train of thought, after the two had an in-depth conversation, Tang Huan got up and said goodbye.

He knew in his heart that although the two sides said that they were very affectionate on the surface, they must not be harmful or defensive. The charter king must have a feel for himself, at least that is nearly 15% of Kowloon. For Cangzhou shares, it is necessary to carefully check whether it really has nothing to do with Jardine Matheson.

In any case, compared to the original time and space, the charter king relied on his own powerful strength to crush the past ten guilds with a single force. Let the other party recognize the situation and save at least a few hundred million Hong Kong dollars. Such a gap is enough to make him completely tore his face with Yihe~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Tang Huan came to Europe this time, and naturally wanted to see a pregnant woman. Christina, the queen of ships, was moved after seeing him, and she gradually calmed down after being soothed for a while.

"How about the acquisition of Milan?" Tang Huan stroked Christina's hair and asked with a smile.

"It's not very smooth, as you have analyzed before, many people still have great expectations for Milan, and what else they say, there is no tradition of accepting foreign capital." Christina replied a little annoyed.

Tang Huan smiled, he was not surprised at this situation. In the original time and space, the Premier League, which received a large amount of foreign investment, was operating in full swing, but in the declining Serie A, only Inter Milan and Rome have changed their doors, and the overall trend is still conservative.

After all, football is a money-burning game. The economic situation in Italy is much stronger now than decades later. The rich are rich in their pockets, and they also have the tradition of family-run football clubs. There really is no room for foreign investment activities. (To be continued...)
