"Then let's announce it and end this matter as soon as possible." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.
Compared with Wharf and Hutchison, Yingzhou Yingni is just a small company. The main purpose of acquiring it is to acquire a piece of land by Yingzhou Yingni on the Hung Hom seaside. In addition, Yingzhou Yingni monopolizes half of the cement market in Hong Kong. The business cannot be said to be useless. It is still okay to give it to Hutchison Whampoa. If Hutchison Whampoa has the ability in the future, it may be able to develop considerable achievements in this area.
Although the cement business seems very low-level, the total market is still very large, especially the northern mainland, which will be a super infrastructure maniac in the future. There may also be certain opportunities in this area. The only disadvantage is that this industry has a certain degree of pollution. Qingzhou Yingni's situation in Hong Kong is getting worse and worse. In fact, it has a lot to do with the Hong Kong government's gradual control of factory emissions.
"Okay, then I'll discuss it with Huo Duoli," Zhou Jiayang said.
Central, inside the old HSBC headquarters:
Vice President Dis was just about to enter Supervisor Shen Bi's office. Before he could knock on the door, the door suddenly opened and a white-haired white man came out. After taking a look at Dis, he nodded friendly and left.
"Newbijian?" Dis looked at Nubikin's leaving figure and began to think a little. Hong Kong is only so big. Everyone knows these celebrities, and Nubikin is naturally the most famous among them.
After walking into Shen Bi's office, Dis said: "Mr. Shen Bi, these are the financial statements of Huoduoli for the past three months. Please take a look."
"Okay, the recent profit-making business has been developing well, right?" Shen Bi asked casually after finishing the report.
"Not bad. Hong Kong's real estate market has recovered recently, the stock market has also recovered a lot, and the demand for various investments has begun to increase." Diess replied.
"Are there any big acquisition plans?" Shen Bi asked.
As the "quasi central bank" of Hong Kong, HSBC has great rights and funds, but this does not come without a price. Rights also represent obligations. HSBC also needs to bear corresponding responsibilities when there are problems in part of Hong Kong's economy, especially During the real estate crisis a few years ago, many banks failed. In order to prevent runs and the expansion of the financial crisis, HSBC also promptly assumed the corresponding "central bank" responsibilities. This naturally also seriously affected HSBC's net profit.
Therefore, the profitability of Huidoli, an investment bank company, is very important. The main business of Huidouli is to invest in the financial market for investors, and it can also provide corresponding financial leverage services to earn handling fees, but more What makes money is always acquisitions between large companies. For example, Land Drinking Milk previously made a huge profit of HK$30 million from Land Drinking Milk. One transaction was equivalent to 10% of the entire HSBC net profit at that time.
"There are no big acquisitions, but there may be some exceptions to one company, Jingzhou Yingni Company. This company has a market value of less than 100 million Hong Kong dollars. It is not very big, but the company that is planning to acquire it is Hutchison Whampoa." Dis replied road.
Hutchison Whampoa has long entrusted Duoli to acquire Qingzhou Yingni. However, because the transaction amount was not large, Diss had not reported it separately before.
"Oh, Hutchison Whampoa wants to acquire Yingni? This is Chen Zhiwen's first external acquisition after taking over Hutchison." Shen Bi said.
"Yes, I estimate that the main purpose of their acquisition of Yingzhou Yingni was for the land of Yingzhou Yingni's original factory in Hung Hom." Diess analyzed.
"It's close to ten. With Chen Zhiwen's business style over the years, it's impossible for him to focus on the cement business. It must be for the land." Shen Bi nodded and said.
"The stocks of Yingzhou Yingni are also relatively scattered. I have purchased 25% of the shares for Hutchison Whampoa. They are also preparing for a public acquisition. The Kane family of Yingzhou Yingni only holds about 20% of the shares. The capital gap between the two parties is It’s such a big deal, we’re basically guaranteed to win,” Dis added.
"Winning is a given. I don't care about a Jingzhou Yingni. What I care about is how ambitious Chen Zhiwen is. Hutchison Whampoa has now gotten rid of the debt crisis. Although he still owes money, no bank can do anything to him. Neither can HSBC. In addition, Midea, its subsidiary, has a new product that is very popular in Europe and the United States. It is said that the profit is very high, easily hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars a year. Under such circumstances, there are still so many high-quality assets in the Hong Kong market. What do you think? What else will he be interested in?" Shen Bi put down the information in his hand and said.
With the recovery of Hong Kong's real estate market and the improvement of Hutchison Whampoa's funds, especially Whampoa Garden, the largest residential project in Hong Kong's history, has been targeted by many scalpers who speculate on houses, waiting for pre-sales. Once pre-sales begin, and Huang's funding problem can be said to have been completely resolved.
It is true that the liabilities are still there, but due to the increase in asset values, the debt ratio is no longer high. Even if HSBC presses for debt, Hutchison Whampoa can obtain enough loans from other banks to repay HSBC. In this case, the bank has lost Now that I have the qualifications to control Hutchison Whampoa's operations, I can just sit back and wait for the money to be repaid.
Although the development of several businesses under Chen Zhiwen is kept secret, product output and terminal prices cannot be kept secret. Professionals can roughly analyze the approximate profits, which may not be accurate, but a difference of 20 to 30% will not affect Shen Bi. Analysis of the judgments of such people.
"There may be many. As far as I know, with the change of attitude in the north, many British capitals in Hong Kong are preparing to divest their investment, and the most radical one may be Wheelock." Diess said.
"Wheelock?" Shen Bi frowned. He also knew that Wheelock has been selling properties in Hong Kong in the past two years, and then buying freighters or oil tankers, converting them into assets of its shipping company, but its asset business in Hong Kong There are so many that we won’t be able to get rid of them in the short term.
"Mr. Shen Bi, if there is no problem, I will help Hutchison Whampoa acquire Yingnio in a few days?" Dis asked.
"Okay, without us, Hutchison Whampoa will definitely win. We have no reason to give up this kind of profit." Shen Bi nodded and agreed, and then said: "One more thing, you just saw Yihe's Niubijian , he came to me, hoping that I could lend a sum of funds to Wellcome Supermarket, a subsidiary of Landmark, to acquire new shops or lease shops to open. The need was urgent and he asked us to give them HK$100 million in funds in one month. "
"100 million Hong Kong dollars? Supermarkets need so much capital?" Diss didn't respond. The current 100 million Hong Kong dollars is also a very large amount of data. It is estimated that listed companies in Hong Kong can make a net profit of 100 million Hong Kong dollars a year. No more than 20.
"Because they need to acquire related properties, Hutchison Whampoa is also making every effort to expand its Parknshop supermarkets. If Hutchison takes the lead, Jardine will have no chance in the future." Shen Bi said.
"So that's it." Dis frowned and said, "It seems that Chen Zhiwen has only acquired Hutchison Whampoa for a year. Now he is going to enter the supermarket field and acquire Yingni at the same time. It seems that he is preparing to expand."
"Yes, so this is what I am more concerned about." Shen Bi nodded and said again.
"Then are you going to help Yihe?" Dis asked.
"Why do you have to choose one of the two? Can't I help both of them?" Shen Bi smiled and said, "The harder they fight, the more profit our bank will make."
