I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Wu Guangyao thought that he could buy 16% of the shares from the minority shareholders of Hong Kong Island Airlines without anyone noticing. After all, this company is now an airline on the verge of bankruptcy, and no one wants to continue to hold it.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong when negotiating with the fourth minority shareholder.

This minority shareholder does not seem to be short of money, but also seems to be very short of money;

Because he not only politely rejected Wu Guangyao on the spot, but also betrayed Wu Guangyao after turning his head around and spread the news to Jardine Matheson.

At this time, Wu Guangyao already had 11% of the shares in his hands, plus 35% of the shares in the hands of HSBC, and he had 46% of the shares of Hong Kong Island Airlines. Although it exceeded the 40% shares of Jardine Matheson, it was absolutely Holdings are still 5% short.

Because Hong Kong Island Airlines is not listed, Jardine Matheson definitely still occupies a favorable position.

When Wu Guangyao and Sandas heard the news, they immediately felt that this small shareholder was really difficult;

Because the two planned to continue to sign the share transfer agreement with other small shareholders immediately before Jardine had reacted, but the small shareholder not only notified Jardine Matheson, but also notified all other small shareholders to let others wait for the shares in their hands. Raise the price, don't sell yet.

"What's his purpose?" Wu Guangyao suppressed his anger at this moment and asked Sandas.

Sandas pondered for a moment, then he was shocked, and then said: "He wants to raise the price. If he just makes friends with Jardine He, he doesn't need to notify other small shareholders at all. Therefore, he wants to raise the price to sell the shares in his hand. It is best Jardines also joined the acquisition, making Island Airlines even more valuable."

After Wu Guangyao heard this, he finally couldn't help cursing: "What the fuck, it's just such a crappy airline, he's not greedy enough!"

Just when the two were conspiring, Jardine Matheson also began to call out to all shareholders, telling them not to sell their shares first, but to find out the cause of the matter first.

 …

There is a saying in Hong Kong Island that "there is Jardine first, and then there is Hong Kong Island", which means that Jardine Matheson had already existed on Hong Kong Island before it opened a port.

Some people also say that Hong Kong Island is ruled by the Jockey Club, Jardine, HSBC, and the Governor. Leaving aside the Jockey Club, it is a loose organization after all, but Jardine Matheson ranks ahead of HSBC and the Governor. influence and power.

Of course, this may be what he said, in terms of status, he is naturally the governor!

Jardine Matheson has suffered huge losses in the Mainland in the past few years, because of the Korean War, the Shanghai authorities confiscated all of Jardine's Mainland assets;

According to statistics, there are about 10 million to 30 million pounds, which can be described as a heavy loss.

Therefore, Jardine at this time is considered to be in a weak state; of course, it refers to the financial situation.

John Keswick is the current boss of Jardine Matheson. When he heard that Wu Guangyao led Sandas to quietly acquire the shares of Hong Kong Island Airlines, his first thought was that HSBC wanted to dominate Hong Kong Island Airlines.

But after thinking about it, it's not right!

HSBC wants to dominate Hong Kong Island Airlines, and it would have proposed it three years ago, and it will never wait until now.

Three years ago, when the British Airways Overseas Development Company withdrew from Hong Kong Island Airlines, it had 45% of the shares in its hands, while HSBC only acquired 35% of the shares.

At that time, they didn't want to dominate Hong Kong Island Airlines, and naturally they don't want to do so now!

Could it be that Chinese businessman Wu Guangyao wants to acquire Hong Kong Island Airlines?

After all, the relationship between Wu Guangyao and Sanders is well known in Hong Kong.

John Keswick figured it out!

Soon, John Keswick decided to go to HSBC Taipan first, and decided to stabilize HSBC first;

John Keswick did not believe that HSBC would help Wu Guangyao, but chose to give a knife to Jardine Matheson, which is also a British capital.

Sure enough, in Taipan's office at HSBC's headquarters, Taipan Guy agreed on the spot that he would not sell shares to Wu Guangyao, and said he would warn Sanders not to get involved.

Now John Keswick, the tycoon of Jardine Matheson, is relieved!

As long as the shares held by HSBC are not transferred, how can Wu Guangyao dominate Hong Kong Island Airlines?

Although Jardine Matheson has had a difficult time in recent years,

The operating conditions of Hong Kong Island Airlines are also very bad, but Jardine Matheson does not want Chinese businessmen to dominate Hong Kong Island Airlines.

Even if you want to sell it, you have to buy it to Taikoo Matheson. This is the best choice.

The Chinese are Chinese after all, so how can they be of one mind with the English? Keswick thought to himself.

.....

HSBC bank executive Guy called Sanders and asked what happened.

"Sandas, although HSBC supports Wu Guangyao, a Chinese businessman, it must not do anything that hurts British capital. Therefore, please stop participating in Hong Kong Island Airlines immediately. The shares of Hong Kong Island Airlines held by HSBC Bank are also It will not be sold to a Chinese businessman." Guy said seriously, after all, if the shares are really sold to Wu Guangyao, HSBC will inevitably face various pressures.

When Sandas heard this, he naturally knew that Keswick had already approached his boss.

But Sanders was not in a hurry, because Taipan didn't know what kind of good thing he was waiting for HSBC.

"Taipan, Jardine Matheson has been operating Hong Kong Island Airlines for three years, and it has made a mess of the company. If it continues like this, it will close down sooner or later or be acquired by Swire."

"I know this too, but have you ever thought that if we evil Jardine Matheson because of Wu Guangyao, we will face all kinds of accusations?"

"Dapan, this is business, and business is only about profit. Do you know what conditions Wu Guangyao offered for our shares?"

"Tell me?"

Gay saw that Sanders hadn't repented until now, and he immediately became curious. After all, he has worked with him for many years, so he naturally knows that Sanders is definitely not the kind of person who disregards the interests of HSBC.

"That is the shares of Global Shipping. We can convert 35% of Hong Kong Island Airlines' shares into 2% of Global Shipping's shares. At the same time, HSBC can choose to invest in Global Shipping in cash, with a maximum of 20% of the shares."

When Guy heard this, he stood up excitedly.

HSBC clearly understands the value of global shipping, and it is impossible to be jealous.

Now you can choose to invest in shares, which is simply a great thing!

Guy calmed down after being excited, and then asked Sanders about the specific operation of the acquisition.

.........

Wu Guangyao was thinking about how high the price should be to raise the remaining 5% of the shares.

At this time, the remaining 5 small shareholders still have 14% of the shares in their hands, so the opportunity is very great.

As long as the two shareholders sell to themselves, they will get together 16% of the shares, plus HSBC's 35% of the shares, and they will have the absolute power of Hong Kong Island Airlines.

While Wu Guangyao was thinking in the global shipping office, an unexpected visitor came, that is Jardine Taipan Keswick.

The two exchanged hypocritical politeness, and Keswick said, "Mr. Wu, do you want to develop the aviation industry?"

This is a temptation, it goes without saying!

How much own shares, but also the development of the aviation industry!

"Mr. Keswick misunderstood, I just think the prospect of Hong Kong Island Airlines is not bad, so I want to invest a little!"

"Oh...really! Mr. Wu, if you want to become the owner of Hong Kong Island Airlines, I'm afraid there is no chance at all, because Jardine Matheson already holds 51% of the shares. Of course, if you just want to become a shareholder, then we Welcome, everyone can discuss together how to develop Hong Kong Island Airlines.”

After hearing Keswick's words, Wu Guangyao felt chills. Could it be that Jardine Matheson has already acquired the shares of other minority shareholders?

After thinking about it carefully, I found it impossible. These small shareholders could not surrender their shares so quickly, after all, they needed to pay the price!

"Mr. Keswick, I have no intention of leading Hong Kong Island Airlines. After all, you Jardine Matheson and HSBC hold the vast majority of the shares. I have no chance. Of course, I don't understand the business, I am just pure I want to be a shareholder." Wu Guangyao said without blushing.

When Keswick heard this, he let go of the big rock in his heart a little bit. Thinking about it, as long as HSBC Bank does not transfer shares to this Chinese businessman, then he will not be able to dominate Hong Kong Island Airlines at all.

The two chatted for a while, and Keswick left, and the scene was quite harmonious for a while!

After Keswick left, Wu Guangyao fell into deep thought, thinking about what to do next.

 …

In the morning of the next day, Wu Guangyao sent people to contact the remaining five small shareholders (except the whistleblower shareholders), and told them that he only needed 5% of the shares of Hong Kong Island Airlines, and he didn't want any more; Doubling more, the price of every 1% of the shares is 80,000 US dollars, and I only have to wait for 24 hours, and I will give up the acquisition when it is too late.

Wu Guangyao was not threatening, but really planned to give up.

To put it bluntly, Hong Kong Island Airlines may not be able to develop, even if it is in its own hands;

I want to buy Hong Kong Island Airlines purely because I want to gamble, and I can afford to lose anyway.

[In 1954, British Overseas Airways entered Hong Kong Airlines again, and purchased two brand-new Vickers Viscount airliners (), determined to innovate. Hong Kong Airlines opened additional routes to Seoul and Tokyo and reopened routes to Manila, but it still failed to get rid of losses. In 1958, Cathay Pacific Airways, a subsidiary of Swire Pacific, fully acquired Hong Kong Airlines and merged into it. In 1959, the original license was handed over. 】

Wu Guangyao believes that the failure of Hong Kong Island Airlines in history must be because it cannot compete with these routes opened by European and American airlines (non-local airlines).

So, as a time traveler, can I have more experience in operation and service?

Wu Guangyao remembers that Cathay Pacific was also at a disadvantage under the competition of European and American airlines at the beginning; then, in order to attract Asian customers, Cathay Pacific replaced the company’s Hong Kong Island features with GF’s Asian style; Customs cater to the preferences of tourists from all over the world.

In the afternoon of that day, Wu Guangyao received two small shareholders in his office, signed a share transfer agreement on the spot, and obtained 6% of the shares of Hong Kong Island Airlines.

"Please keep it a secret, both of you!" Wu Guangyao urged before leaving.

"certainly!"

Holding 17% of the shares of Hong Kong Island Airlines, Wu Guangyao breathed a sigh of relief, and it was time to meet the HSBC Taipan next.

 …

HSBC Building, Taipan Office.

"Mr. Wu, we at HSBC have different opinions on the valuation of global shipping! The value of global shipping is only 65 million US dollars. After all, some ships should only have five to ten years of life." Guy said first. Talking about the matter of Hong Kong Island Airlines, but first talking about the global shipping, it is obviously to put pressure on Wu Guangyao.

This old man is really ruthless for cutting off the valuation of Global Shipping by 5 million US dollars!

"The Taipan joked. Although the service life of the ship has been reduced, the business model, talent pool, and company reputation of Global Shipping are all invisible assets. I believe that you HSBC, investing in Global Shipping is not purely based on profit, but also very important. Pay attention to the soft power of global shipping!" Wu Guangyao said gently.

HSBC has earned almost US$18 million in interest from Wu Guangyao in the past few years;

To put it bluntly, buying a 20% stake in Global Shipping is equivalent to giving them away for nothing.

Of course, I can't say that. Without HSBC, my development would never be so fast, and I wouldn't even have a troublemaker.

HSBC not only provided funds for its own development, but also used its influence to keep those foreigners who were eyeing Wu Guangyao from acting rashly.

After all, Wu Guangyao fell, and their money was wasted!

No wonder later generations said that those creditors who owed a lot of money to the bank would be visited by people from the bank every year and festival.

In the end, both parties took a step back and set the valuation of Global Shipping at 68 million US dollars.

The next thing about Hong Kong Island Airlines will naturally be much smoother;

Wu Guangyao's global holding company took over HSBC's 35% stake in Hong Kong Island Airlines for US$1.4 million.

The two parties also decided to invite media from Hong Kong Island to witness the cooperation between the two parties!
