Chapter 203~204 [The snake swallows the whale, the curtain opens] (seeking the moon(1/2)
Liang Zhonghao, the third generation head of the Liang Chang family.
His father is Leung Chik-wai, one of the founders of Hang Seng Bank.
His grandfather was Liang Chang, a celebrity in Hong Kong and Macao. At that time, his power spread across Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Both the government and the underworld forces at that time had a relationship with Liang Chang. Naturally, Liang Chang was also a ruthless character. In addition to his apparent role as a banker,
No. 1 business, and it is said that he also engaged in gold smuggling.
It is said that the person who threatened the God of Gamblers to leave Macau may have been Liang Chang or Luo Bao.
There must be two reasons why Liang Zhonghao wants to leave the business world this time: first, his ancestors were engaged in side projects; second, after the Sino-British negotiations ended, he does not trust the mainland and wants to capitalize.
The so-called capital migration does not necessarily mean emigration, but buying property insurance to divide the assets into two parts. One part stays in Hong Kong, and the other part is invested in overseas family members. The same goes for part of the family members who immigrate, and the other part continues to stay in Hong Kong.

The rise of Zheng Yutong has a lot to do with Hang Seng Bank. When Zheng Yutong entered the real estate industry, he received a lot of funding from Hang Seng Bank. Ho Shanheng of Hang Seng Bank was the chairman of the board of directors of New World. Zheng Yutong only served as the general manager, while the Liang family
He is also one of the directors of New World Properties.
Zheng Yutong came to the Liang family and was naturally welcomed. Liang Zhiwei and Liang Zhonghao received Zheng Yutong.
After chatting for a while, Zheng Yutong mentioned: "Someone is willing to accept the Liang family's shares in the hotel and asks me to be a lobbyist! If the Liang family is interested in making an offer, you can consider him!"
Liang Zhiwei said nothing and looked at his son. He was old and had already handed over his career to his son. If Zheng Yutong was not an old friend, he would not have come out to meet him.
Liang Zhonghao said calmly: "I did say this in front of my brother Jiachun. I wanted to cash out my shares in the hotel. I didn't expect that someone would take notice of me so quickly! Uncle Tong, who is the person you are talking about? Could it be your new friend?"
My friend Lin Zuhui?"
Zheng Yutong nodded and said: "It seems that he is very famous, you will know it as soon as you guess it!"
Liang Zhonghao said with a smile: "He swallowed up Furama Hotel and Huazhi Center, which caused a wave of public opinion in Hong Kong. How could I not know! I do intend to sell my shares in the hotel and then focus on real estate development. However, if I will
If I transfer the shares to him, I am also worried about being scolded by the Kadoorie family for being treacherous. Therefore, I think I should have a good talk with Lin Zuhui about this matter. I may not necessarily sell all the shares to him, lest he threaten the dominant position of the Kadoorie family."
Zheng Yutong nodded and said naturally: "I just want to introduce you to each other. Whether you succeed or not has nothing to do with me!"
After talking about the matter, Liang Zhiwei invited Zheng Yutong to have lunch to reminisce about the past.
After Zheng Yutong left, Liang Zhiwei said: "Do you want to sell the shares to the two families separately?"
Liang Zhonghao nodded and said: "Well, father. The main reason is that I am worried that by selling 31 million shares to Lin Zuhui, he will have a head-on confrontation with the Kadoorie family. Then we will become an accomplice and bear the reputation of treachery in vain. If we only sell 20 shares
Give it to him, and he can only ask for two board seats at most, and he can only make long-term investments."
Tomato free reading
"Then others may not be willing! Moreover, even if he obtains 31 million hotel shares, with his strength, he will never be able to swallow up a hotel with a market value of more than 5 billion. Look, don't make a decision in a hurry, and be nice to others
Let’s talk, as long as the price is reasonable, we might as well sell them all to him. The Kadoorie family’s performance in managing large hotels in the past few years has not been very satisfactory to the shareholders!”
When Liang Zhonghao looked at Liang Zhiwei, he felt a little incredible!
Seeing this, Liang Zhiwei repeated: "The interests are great!"
Originally, the two parties had agreed that the Kadoorie family would take care of the hotel business of the hotel, and the Liang family would take care of the hotel's rent collection business.
But now that Mr. Liang wants to leave the business world, he naturally wants to gain more benefits first.
........
January 18, Sunday.
Lin Zuhui and Liang Zhonghao made an appointment in the box of the Regal Hotel. Lin Zuhui also specially invited Zheng Jiachun to accompany him and act as a middleman.
There was no friendship between the two parties. After simply complimenting each other, they started talking about business.
Lin Zuhui first said with a smile: "Liang Sheng, you are interested in placing the offer, and I am interested in taking over. I think the key point of this transaction is the price, right?"
The current share price of the hotel is only 45 yuan, which is a full 20% lower than the 53 yuan that Liu bought in his previous life.
Of course, Lin Zuhui does not expect to acquire the Liang family's shares at the original price, but the price difference of 8 yuan is equivalent to giving Lin Zuhui a lot of room for negotiation.
Seeing that Lin Zuhui was so direct, Liang Zhonghao was worried that he would be at a disadvantage, so he planned to change the topic first: "I heard that Lin Sheng bought the Furama Hotel at a premium of 80%, and also bought the Twin Towers at a high price that will only be completed in a year. It seems that you are interested in high-quality properties.
I really love the building!"
The implication is that Lin Zuhui was promoted to the role of a big business owner.
Lin Zuhui didn't care. He had a low price in mind. If it exceeded this price, he would not forcefully buy it.
"Everyone loves high-quality properties! Uncle Tong likes big projects. The New World Center and the Convention and Exhibition Center are his masterpieces. I am not yet capable of doing such big projects, but I am willing to invest in big projects." Lin Zuhui started the topic.
By going to the Zheng family, you can not only avoid leaving Zheng Jiachun in the cold, but also neutralize Liang Zhonghao's attack.
He wanted to be a good guy again, but unfortunately the market value of the hotel was already very high, and Lin Zuhui really had no money.
Zheng Jiachun saw that the topic was brought to him, so he said: "In this way, Zu Hui, you quote a price, and Zhong Hao tells you the conditions and answers. We don't necessarily have to agree at once, try to understand the other party's intentions first!"
Zheng Jiachun is 41 years old this year, and Liang Zhonghao is three years younger than him, but they are both directors of New World. The two families have good personal relations and Lin Zuhui and the Zheng family have become very close recently, so he is willing to be the middleman this time.
At this time, Zheng Jiachun very much recognized Lin Zuhui's leveraged buyout of properties and companies, and was thinking about how to be generous after taking office. He not only imitated his father's preference for big projects, but also imitated Lin Zuhui's preference for leveraged buyouts.
Liang Zhonghao nodded, and then said to Lin Zuhui: "I can only sell you 20 million shares!"
Lin Zuhui immediately said: "If you keep the 11 million shares for your own investment, I have nothing to say! If you find a buyer again, I hope to buy them all. I know what you are worried about, but I can guarantee that I am really not a stock market sniper.
Hand, this investment must be a long-term investment, and I will try my best not to cause a huge commotion with Kadoorie. Of course, I am willing to buy it at a premium!"
Liang Zhonghao's brows jumped when he heard about the premium acquisition.
Coupled with Lin Zuhui's assurance that it was a long-term investment and a good-faith acquisition, his last doubts were dispelled.
"what price?"
Lin Zuhui said without hesitation: "I need to prepare for a month! No matter how the stock market rises or falls during this period, I hope we can agree on a fixed price. I am willing to pay 50 yuan per share at this price!"
There is no malicious intention to lower the price, everyone is not a fool!
Liang Zhonghao was very excited, but he had more than 1.5 billion in cash!
"What's the price of 51 yuan? We, the Liang family, have become evil people, so naturally we have to consider the profits!"
Lin Zuhui said cheerfully: "No problem! I don't mind buying things that I like a little more expensive. My price is one per cent, and there is no possibility of raising the price, even if a month later, the hotel's stock price rises to 55 yuan
, I won’t pay a penny more.”
Liang Zhonghao looked at Zheng Jiachun, and then said with a smile: "We all have friends in common. If something goes back on our word, wouldn't it be looked down upon? Lin Sheng, don't you think so?"
"This is natural! Once the deal is completed, we will be friends!"
"Why wait for the deal to be completed? Lin Sheng is my friend now!"
"Haha, it was a slip of the tongue!"
The three of them soon enjoyed the food happily and started talking.
In fact, for such a large transaction, there is no possibility of haggling too much!
Just like Li Chaoren buying Hong Kong Electric, he only had to bargain for a few words, and everyone hit it off immediately.
On the contrary, it takes more time to review the information.
.......
.......
On Monday, Lin Zuhui invited Liang Botao to his office.
Liang Botao is from Chaoshan and is the capital strategist of Chaoshan businessmen. However, he is also Lin Zuhui's personal securities consultant, which is no longer a secret in Xiangjiang.
Some people made fun of Lin Zuhui for not overestimating his abilities and wanting to imitate Li Chaoren and To Huilian. However, Liang Botao did not deny this, which made people in the industry re-examine the relationship between the two.
Of course, that was a previous question!
Today, Lin Zuhui controls tens of billions of assets and a listed company with a market value of tens of billions. Who dares to say that Lin Zuhui will not be as good as Li Chaoren in the future! Even if he thinks so in his heart, no one dares to say it, unless he does better than Lin Zuhui at the same age.
!
Lin Zuhui and Liang Botao sat on the sofa, sipping tea leisurely at first.
Putting down the tea cup, Lin Zuhui said: "I have already negotiated with the Liang family, the major shareholder of the hotel, and plan to acquire their 31 hotel shares!"
A look of surprise flashed across Liang Botao's face, and he quickly returned to normal.
It turns out that he now also knows Lin Zuhui's true strength.
Not to mention Lin Zuhui's listed companies, two have net profits of one billion this year, which is a miracle in itself.
For example, the 2.5 billion blue-chip stocks invested by Lin Zuhui with a margin of 500 million have now made a profit of 1 billion. In addition, there are rumors that Lin Zuhui made a lot of money from the futures contract last year. Liang Botao guessed that Lin Zuhui made a profit of 500 million from the futures contract at least last year.
Yuan.
Regardless of the strength of the company or the strength of his personal funds, Liang Botao is no longer too surprised by Lin Zuhui's large investment.
"What do you think? The market value of Grand Hotel is 4.5 billion. If there is a takeover battle, it may be 7 billion. Although you own 31% of the shares, the Kadoorie family is deeply trusted by the shareholders of Grand Hotel!
"Liang Botao thought for a while and said.
The implication is that the price of a comprehensive acquisition is too high, and Lin Zuhui may not be able to bear it.
If he wants to defeat the Kadoorie family through the shareholders' meeting, Lin Zuhui does not have enough connections.
"For long-term investment, I hope to coexist peacefully with the Kadoorie family! But if Kadoorie won't even let me join the board of directors, I will extend the front line until I defeat the Kadoorie family in one fell swoop! When the chartering king acquired Wharf, he still tolerated it
