Longfeng International.

An extremely low-key listed company owned by the Bao family.

Wu Guangzheng works here now, and he is plotting to acquire the 28.5 million Wharf shares held by the Bao family through this company.

This is the order of the shipping king, because it can reduce the personal financial burden and retain the strength to deal with Niubijian.

Wu Guangzheng was working in the office when his secretary suddenly knocked on the door.

"Come in." Wu Guangzheng shouted.

The secretary stepped in and said, "Sheng Wu, there is a young man outside who claims to be your junior student who graduated from Columbia University Business School. He wants to visit you. This is his business card."

Wu Guangzheng was a little surprised, but he still took the business card and checked it.

The background color of this business card is black, but the logo is white, and it also has a unicorn head.

The name of the company is Unicorn Investment Company. Below is the name and contact number, but there is no title.

"Xu Luo?" Wu Guangzheng looked at the name on the business card and thought about it carefully for a while, but he never thought that he had such a junior student.

But since everyone is here, let’s take a look to see what the other party is up to.

Lest word get out and someone says that he doesn’t miss his old relationship.

"Invite him in and prepare him a cup of coffee."

"Yes."

The secretary responded.

A few minutes later, a young man who looked to be in his early twenties came in.

"Wu Sheng, this is Xu Luo and Xu Sheng." The secretary introduced first, then handed the coffee to Xu Luo, "Xu Sheng, please drink coffee."

"Thank you."

After the secretary left, Wu Guangzheng asked: "Have you just graduated from Columbia University?"

"Yes." Xu Luo admitted without blushing, and then said: "I came to visit Wu Sheng this time mainly to act as a trader for Wu Sheng."

He didn't beat around the bush.

If you beat around the bush, it's a waste of time.

Wu Guangzheng looked confused, "Do you want to come to work in our company?"

"No, I am here to provide consulting services for your acquisition of Wharf and to protect your acquisition." Xu Luo smiled slightly, "My service has always been guaranteed."

Upon hearing this, Wu Guangzheng burst into laughter, feeling that he might have met a young man who knew nothing about the world.

He was not surprised at all that Xu Luo knew that Bao wanted to acquire Wharf. Anyone with a little bit of thinking ability could see this kind of thing.

It's just that he doesn't know why this guy came here and said he would escort him.

But instead of driving Xu Luo away directly, he smiled and said: "Tell me what you think. If possible, I am willing to let you stay here to work."

Xu Luo's advantage is that he already knows Bao's method of acquiring Wharf, and he also knows Jardine Newbridge's method of dealing with it.

Look at all the trump cards of both companies.

Coming here to interfere now is completely green extortion.

Xu Luo took a sip of coffee and then said: "According to the information I collected in the market, as of now, you hold 30% of the shares of Wharf and are the largest shareholder of Wharf."

"But Niubijian is not a fool. He is selling his shares in the British Yiren Real Estate Company and selling the Golden Gate Building to Chen Songqing's Jiani Group."

"This series of measures is obviously to raise funds, strengthen the control of Wharf, and compete with you."

After listening to his analysis, Wu Guangzheng felt calm in his heart. Anyone with a discerning eye can see this.

"Keep talking."

"If I'm not wrong, your next plan is to acquire all the Wharf equity interests of the Bao family through Longfeng and raise funds through Longfeng rights issue."

Xu Luo smiled slightly, "Yihe will definitely respond, but now that Wharf has risen to 67 yuan due to the rush of both of you, it will be difficult for him to increase his holdings."

"If we want to increase the shareholding to the same level as yours, we need to exceed 700 million yuan, because with the additional purchases, Wharf will inevitably rise above the 70 yuan mark."

"However, the current interest rates are high, and the best interest rate has reached 14%. It is extremely uneconomical to finance the purchase of Wharf from banks. After all, the interest rate of Wharf is only about 1.8%. This move will have adverse effects on the financial structure of the group.

Impact."

"However, trying to raise funds to purchase more Wharf by increasing the issuance of share capital is a fool's errand. It will most likely lead to large circulation and low stock prices, and it is very likely that large Chinese investors will change their minds to Jardine Matheson and Land.

It becomes a situation where the car is saved and the commander is abandoned.”

Wu Guangzheng couldn't help but sit up straight. Being able to tell this information proved that this young man was indeed well prepared.

It’s not a bad thing to listen more.

So he asked: "Then what do you think they will do?"

"They only have one tactic now to force you to buy Wharf at a high price," Xu Luo said, "so their strategy must be to strike preemptively."

"Then you will be the first to increase the shareholding of Wharf to 49%."

"Are you sure?" Wu Guangzheng asked, "What if they don't take this step?"

Xu Luo shook his head, "They can only take this step. Only in this way can they stabilize their position."

"And there are two reasons for increasing the purchase to this amount: first, to avoid the stipulated acquisition cooperation rules, because once you own 51% or more of the equity, you need to make a comprehensive acquisition; second, because Wharf is a listed company, owning 49%

It’s pretty stable.”

"If the opponent wants to overwhelm Land, it must be able to buy out the remaining shares and force the opponent to take the path of full acquisition."

"In this way, you can only take the same action to purchase more Wharf, and they will sell the Wharf they hold to you at a high price, thus severing the relationship with Wharf, and use the large amount of cash received for other beneficial purposes.

investment."

Wu Guangzheng thought to himself that he had already mentioned with his father-in-law the possible path that Niubijian could take.

The analysis is similar to what Xu Luo said.

But they felt that Newbijian must have other tricks, but they didn't see through them for a while.

He simply lowered his attitude and said, "These methods are the same as what I analyzed, but Newbijian must have other ways to go besides this road."

"This is the service I will provide next." Xu Luo raised a finger, "Service fee of 100 million Hong Kong dollars."

He doesn't think the asking price of HK$100 million is very expensive.

You must know that Huo Jianning's commission for helping Li Ka-shing acquire Hutchison Whampoa was tens of millions, and he also held equity in Hutchison.

He only wants money now, because his old boss will definitely not give it to him, so he might as well take the money and leave.

But if Wu Guangzheng is willing to take out the money, this is the method he will use next.

If you ask someone to pay 100 million Hong Kong dollars just by saying a few words, it would never be so exaggerated in your wildest dreams.

Wu Guangzheng laughed instantly, "Why should I believe that you can earn 100 million Hong Kong dollars with just a few words? Do you know how much 100 million Hong Kong dollars is?"

"Of course I know." Xu Luo also smiled, "And I also know that without my services, your book would have suffered a loss of at least nearly 600 million Hong Kong dollars and a debt of more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars."

He picked up the coffee and took another sip, then said slowly, "Because you don't know what Newbikin's strategy is now."

"Once you lose the opportunity, you can only adopt the method of cash acquisition. If Newbikin's opening price is 100 yuan, you must pay more than this value."

"This means that when Newbikin takes the lead, if you want to increase your purchase to 49%, you need to purchase 20 million Wharf shares in the shortest possible time."

"If we want to come up with a plan that is more attractive than Jardine Matheson in a short period of time and can be implemented immediately, the only way is to purchase additional cash. Only HSBC can provide such huge funds, so we can only use loans."

Having said this, Xu Luo stood up and said, "If I can't earn this service fee from you, I can only go to Newbikin."

"Perhaps Newbijian may accept my suggestion. Although it is unethical to help the British crack down on Chinese capital, it is not shabby in order to make money."

Seeing him getting up, Wu Guangzheng also got up, "Why don't I treat you to a cup of coffee and something to eat by the way? Since we are from the same school, we can chat together and, if appropriate, we can sign a contract."

Wu Guangzheng was a little moved. Although it didn't mean that he would take out the money immediately, the two parties could still sit down and continue talking.

As for the contract, it's just words.

"Okay, then I'll help Wu Sheng." Xu Luo didn't refuse.

He wanted Wu Guangzheng to see his methods and willingly take out the money.

You have to show your own trump card to make him pay.

Otherwise, why should people believe you, a person they have never met?

Do you still need to spend a large amount of money?

Any verbal guarantees are meaningless.

Wu Guangzheng is not a fool. He foolishly gave away so much real money.

But without enough confidence and plan, Xu Luo would not come to your door to engage in green extortion.
