Cheung Kong and Jardine Whampoa's acquisition war is in full swing.

With Ye Jin's strong financial support, Li Chaoren quickly swept all the circulating shares of Hutchison Whampoa in the stock market, causing his holdings to soar to 30%.

Although Jardine also actively acquired stocks, but the funds were not as abundant as Li Chaoren, so he was at a disadvantage. He only bought about half of the stocks at a high price, making his holdings reach 25% and still lag behind Li Chaoren.

Li Chaoren immediately announced an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders as the largest shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa and requested to enter the board of directors of Hutchison Whampoa.

Once Li Chaoren enters the board of directors, with 30% of the stocks in his hands, he may take charge of the board of directors and thus control the company of Hutchison Whampoa.

Therefore, Jardines Group fought desperately. On the one hand, it contacted other shareholders to seek their support; on the other hand, it asked Chen Bi to take action to prevent Li Chaoren from swallowing the Whampoa.

Chen Bi is the senior member of Huifeng Bank, that is, the chairman. Huifeng Bank is actually also a foreign bank, mainly British capital. Moreover, Hutchison, one of the four foreign banks, is actually under its control.

However, in order to win the trust of citizens, Huifeng Bank does not usually regard itself as a foreign bank. Otherwise, it would be inevitable to be selected into the four foreign banks with its size, and even Jardine Ma Group is not as rich as it.

Chen Bi was commissioned by Jardine Mahjong Group and then invited Li Chaoren to have a talk.

It just so happened that at that time, Cheung Kong and Huifeng were jointly developing a Chinese travel in Central, so they still had a certain relationship with each other.

It seems that this time Li Chaoren hired Huifeng as a shareholder for the acquisition of Jiayi.

...

Ye Jin only learned about this after Li Chaoren and Shen Bi talked.

"Mr. Ye, Mr. Chen Bi hopes that we will withdraw our troops and give him face and not acquire Hutchison Whampoa again." Li Chaoren personally called Ye Jin and explained.

"Chen Bi takes action personally?! Yihe is really proud." Ye Jin said in surprise when he heard this.

Because Chen Bi served as the senior class of Huifeng Bank, he was called [Shen Caishen] and his status in the Xiangjiang business world can be said to be supreme.

He personally asked Li Chaoren to stop acquiring Hutchison Whampoa. Although it was just [hope] rather than [force], since he said so, it was absolutely impossible to consider it carefully and ignore it.

"Yes, I thought that Cheng Yaojin would be killed halfway, but I didn't expect that Mr. Chen Bi would take action in person." Li Chaoren couldn't believe it either.

"Then what do you decide to do? Do you really listen to him?" Ye Jin asked.

If you really give up the acquisition, Cheung Kong will not suffer any loss. Now the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa has risen to 50 yuan. Jardinet will have to pay more than 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire Hutchison Whampoa's stock at this price.

Changshi's actual assets are only 960 million Hong Kong dollars. With such a transfer, the profit of nearly 600 million Hong Kong dollars is quite good. However, compared with the entire Hutchison Whampoa, it seems to be too little.

"I can't be very sure, so I want to discuss with you. After all, you occupy half of the shares." Li Chaoren said in embarrassment.

To be honest, he really wants to continue to acquire it. Because it is only a step away from his entry into Hutchison Whampoa. He is really unwilling to give up now.

However, Chen Bi is not something he can offend. He has now had a direct conflict with Yihe. If he offended Chen Bi again, he would offend the two major consortiums in one breath and his life might not be better in the future.

"Let's do this. The reason why we acquired Hutchison Whampoa was because we were interested in its assets." Ye Jin thought for a while, "If we want us to terminate the acquisition, then let Jardineyah take out 30% of Hutchison Whampoa's assets to exchange for the stocks in our hands."

If you sell the stock directly to Jardinet, let alone whether it has 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash, even if you can get 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash, it is not a good deal.

Because money will depreciate, and assets will increase. Especially the properties, land, warehouses, ports, hotels, etc. under Hutchison Whampoa. With the prosperity of the real estate industry today, the value of these assets is rising rapidly, and they are basically unavailable to buy even if you have money.

Therefore, it is not a loss for Cheung Kong to exchange 30% of the stocks for 30% of the assets. For Jardine, although it is also painful to cut 30% of the meat, it is better than losing the entire Hutchison Whampoa.

After hearing this, Li Chaoren's eyes lit up.

"Mr. Ye, your suggestions are very good, I'm going to do this." He said happily, "Thank you for your suggestions, you are such a genius!"

Originally, he thought that he might as well sell the stocks he had to Yihe, which would make hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars anyway. But after hearing Ye Jin say this, he suddenly felt that this solution was better.

30% of the assets of Hutchison Whampoa have also been a lot. And since Jardinet Group wants it, he can also take the opportunity to choose more high-quality assets. For example, properties and land in prime locations are good things that cannot be bought by money.

"You're welcome, I'm very happy to help you." Ye Jin smiled.

...

Two days later, Li Chaoren called again.

"How is it, Mr. Li, have you reached a deal with Jardine?" Ye Jin asked with a smile.

"That's not. The ship king Bao Jinshui found me and hoped that I could transfer the stocks in my hand to him." Li Chaoren explained.

"Bao Jinshui is also interested in Hutchison Whampoa? Yes, he is in the shipping business and cannot do without ports and cargo warehouses." Ye Jin said suddenly.

Hutchison Whampoa is the largest port operator in Xiangjiang, with deep-water docks, open-air freight yards and freight warehouses. The ship king Bao Jinshui is also engaged in shipping business and cannot do without docks, ports and freight warehouses.

If the Whampoa Whampoa is taken into account, it will be beneficial to his shipping business on the one hand, and on the other hand, he can also use the property, land, hotel and other businesses of Whampoa Whampoa to abandon the ship and land to develop a variety of industries.

After all, in recent years, the global economy has not been good due to the impact of the oil crisis and economic stagflation, and the shipping industry is also in a recession, and the ship king's life is not easy.

"That's right." Li Chaoren echoed, "Bao Jinshui told me that he had actually been fighting for Hutchison Whampoa for a long time, and he also absorbed nearly 10% of the stocks. He didn't expect that we had started earlier than him and acquired more stocks than him, so his acquisition was abandoned halfway."

"Since that's the case, he should admit his failure and withdraw from the bidding. Why do we still have to give him the stock? Logically speaking, shouldn't he give us the stock?" Ye Jin said unhappily when he heard this.

They now hold 30% of the stocks, which is only one step away from the successful acquisition. Bao Jinshui only has 10% of the stocks, which is still far from the successful acquisition.

Moreover, Li Chaoren also acted earlier than him. According to the principle of first come first served, minority obeying the majority, it should be more reasonable to sell Hutchison Whampoa stocks to Li Chaoren. On the contrary, it would be too unreasonable to let Li Chaoren sell the stocks to him.

"Bao Jinshui means that if we give him the Hutchison Whampoa stock, then he is willing to mediate from it and let us get the Hutchison Whampoa stocks held by Huifeng." Li Chaoren explained.

Hutchison Whampoa is the abbreviation of Hutchison Whampoa. It was merged by Hutchison Whampoa and Huangpu Shipyard Company.

Huangpu Shipyard Company was founded in 1843, and was formerly a shipyard named Aberdeen Hong Kong. In 1880, several shipyards merged to form Huangpu Shipyard Company.
