Things are exactly as Feng Yifeng said. After Liu Luanxiong made a high-profile announcement about the "hostile acquisition" of the hotel, there has been no movement for more than a week. During this time, Kadoorie frequently contacted some of the company's shareholders and even went to
Several other British business families with good family relationships visited. Although there was no news, they were ready to gear up and fight with Da Liu. It was inevitable.
The stock price of Grand Hotel rises and falls. When Liu Luanxiong first announced his intention to acquire the hotel, the stock price rose surprisingly. It rose by nearly 20% in three days, and there is still room for continued growth, leaving many hands holding
The stock investors in some big hotels were all laughing.
As a week passed, there was no news from Liu Luanxiong, nor did he issue any follow-up statement. Although he still had dinner and chatted with the managers of several major banks at different places, it seemed that he was raising funds, but he did not buy or sell major hotels.
stock action.
Here in the United States, the atmosphere in the independent room of "God-given Certificate?" is so leisurely and calm. Feng Yifeng once again got rid of the entanglement of the old professor and squatted in the company all day. Aina, the assistant, had to do her job as a nanny.
After that, I bought him food and brought a change of clothes to the company every day. The level of care he took was almost as good as that of a wife to her husband. There were also many rumors in the company, but this was not the first time that these rumors had appeared.
Even Aina just laughed it off when she said Feng Yifeng didn't take it seriously.
"Boss, news just came back from Hong Kong. HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank have promised to lend to Kadoorie when necessary, thus maintaining the Kadoorie family's control of the hotel. Liu Luanxiong also received nearly HK$500 million from Bank of East Asia and Overseas Trust Bank
The loan, plus the funds in his hands, are enough for a war with Kadoorie, does it mean that a war is about to begin?" Faith brought the latest news to the room immediately.
Feng Yifeng read the news from Hong Kong very carefully, and his expression did not change. "You ask the people in Hong Kong to keep an eye on all Liu's actions. It must be clear who he has met and who he has been in contact with.
There are also several right-hand men under him who need to be watched closely. I think Liu will take some action within the next half month, but I don’t know what cards he will play.”
"I see."
Faith quickly went out to make arrangements. At this time, it was about seeing who got more information, so that he could seize the opportunity and better plan for the next step.
"Boss, although the current stock price has not returned to its original level, it is already at a reasonable price. Should we buy a little first?" An idle trader asked Feng Yifeng, who was standing behind him, holding a cup of coffee.
"There is no rush now. We still don't know what means Liu will use to lower the stock price. Taking action now may have an impact on his plan. We are going to fish in troubled waters behind him this time, and we will try again at the right time.
Get rid of them all. If we buy the hotel's stocks now, it is very likely to raise the stock price, which is something we cannot do now." Feng Yifeng had studied with Liu Luanxiong in his previous life, and also knew about his performance in the stock market.
He has some understanding of the means. If he takes action now, it will definitely have an impact on his original plan, and he may change it or even give up directly. This is the situation Feng Yifeng least wants to see, so he feels that it is better to maintain
The current situation is the most appropriate.
"You just need to keep an eye on the changes and don't take any action for the time being. Also pay attention to whether anyone is buying or selling small stocks, and trace which company or individual these people come from."
"Don't worry! We have fought this kind of takeover war many times. We won't let anyone do anything under our noses." The traders assured them, patting their chests. Feng Yifeng was also reassured by their guarantees.
, they are all the elites of the company, and they are all talents who have grown up after a long period of hard work in the stock market.
I divide you
In the villa study room of Liu Luanxiong's home in Hong Kong, in addition to Liu Luanxiong, there are also several of his most capable assistants and department managers. "The funds have basically been in place, and all the preliminary preparations have been made. Should we proceed?
A step forward? Now there are many rumors outside that cast doubt on our acquisition, and the stock price has returned to its original level. If we suddenly make a move now, Grand Hotel and Kadoorie will definitely not think of it." A
The man in a suit, who didn't look very old, suggested to Liu Luanxiong who was sitting in the executive chair with excitement.
Liu Luanxiong did not express any opinions and asked the others: "Does everyone think so? If you have any opinions, please tell me. Everyone here is an old man who has been with me for a long time. Tommy is one of you."
He is the youngest and most aggressive among them, but he has been with me since he graduated from college. I have never treated you as outsiders, so don’t worry too much when speaking, just say whatever comes to mind."
These people have been with him for a long time or a short time, but they all work hard for him. Liu Luanxiong is not the kind of person who is arbitrary. He knows how important this acquisition is to him. Although it cannot be said that he will become a benevolent person if he does not succeed, but as long as he is successful,
After success, it will be like paving a highway for his future development.
"Then let me say it first. Although there has been no other movement in Kadoorie recently, they have not relaxed their guard. If we act rashly now, it will be difficult to have a fatal impact on them. I think we should wait for a while. Anyway, we
It’s not like we are short of time.” A man about the same age as Liu Luanxiong spoke first. He is also the development manager of Liu Luanxiong’s company.
Tommy, the one who spoke first, immediately stood up and objected: "It's wrong for Manager Zhang to say that. What does it mean to have no shortage of time? Time is money. Old British-owned families like Kadoorie don't think highly of us Chinese businessmen."
.I’m afraid you haven’t read the recent newspapers. Some young people of the Kadoorie family said in the newspapers that we overestimate our capabilities and that an ant wants to move an elephant. What does this mean? It means that although Kadoorie has
Although we are prepared, we still look down upon our strength. This mentality of underestimating the enemy is our best opportunity to defeat them. So I still insist on taking action now and cannot let them stabilize all shareholders."
"Tommy is right, now is actually a very good opportunity, we must not let it go. The opportunity will never come again, it will never come again!" Tommy's words still received support, but Liu Luanxiong still did not
Express your stance and listen quietly to the opinions of your subordinates.
"You can't say that. Although this is an opportunity, what does it represent? Although the speaker of the Kadoorie family is still Lawrence Kadoorie, the person who really controls the China Electric Power Company and the Grand Hotel is Michael Kadoorie.
I once conducted a detailed investigation on this Michael Kadoorie. He is the leader of the Kadoorie family who is most determined to reform. His ability and wisdom cannot be ignored. In addition, the Kadoorie family has always been based on brotherhood and harmony.
They are famous, why would such words come from their mouths? Don't you think it's strange? I'm afraid this may be a conspiracy arranged by Michael Kadoorie, who wants us to take action as soon as possible. Then they may have something to deal with
Plans are waiting for us, this is what we have to be prepared for." Another person also opposed making plans now and listed all the possible accidents.
As everyone talked more and more, many things that they had ignored were slowly clarified. Finally, Liu Luanxiong made the final arrangements, "These are the problems we have to face for the time being. The first is Kadoorie's plan for us."
How much do we know? If our entire plan is known to them, how will they respond? Does Kadoorie have as much money as we know now? Are there others that we don't know about?
Will there be other people involved in this acquisition? If they want to fish in troubled waters, how should we deal with these people? The last thing is whether there are any hidden dangers in the capital chain we have arranged that we are not aware of. These are all
This is what we need to find out most urgently now, so everyone should work harder and investigate the matter I mentioned as clearly as possible. I don’t want to fail in the end.”
I'll divide it again
Hong Kong Mid-Levels Villa, the luxurious villa of the Kadoorie family, is also a study room, but there are many fewer people in it. Except for an old man who looks to be over eighty years old, there is only one middle-aged man sitting opposite.
.
The villa is very luxurious, but the study decoration is very ordinary. Apart from the basic bookshelves and a leather sofa, there are no other decorations. There are no precious oil paintings or precious antiques.
Even the tea sets used by the two people in the study were only relatively fine white porcelain, which made it look nothing like the study of a luxurious villa.
After taking a sip of hot tea, the old man said to the person sitting opposite him with a pleasant look: "Mi Gao, you are the most outstanding person in this generation of the family, and the family will rely on you to maintain it in the future. Although I am in good health, but
After all, I am already eighty and my energy has begun to decline. Many of the family's affairs will still depend on you in the future."
"Don't worry, I will never let the Kadoorie family decline in my hands."
"Haha, that's good." The old man took another sip of tea and looked at the pure red tea in the cup absently. "Please tell me your opinion about Liu Luanxiong's intention to acquire the hotel."
"Ahem", Michael Kadoorie sorted it out and said: "Liu Luanxiong came prepared this time. I think he has been planning this plan for a long time. He can really endure it and didn't launch it until now. But don't worry, I
Everything has been prepared and all the funds are in place. HSBC and Standard Chartered have promised to lend us loans when necessary. Most of the company's directors are on our side. The shares we hold, even if they lose the stock market
If you get all the shares that are circulating on the Internet, you will be the second largest shareholder at most, and you won’t be able to threaten us.”
"Alas!" The old man stood up, and Michael Kadoorie stood up immediately and walked over to hold his arm. "Don't be too confident. Liu's development to this point is not due to luck, as the Chinese often say
'Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger'. Do you know what his plan is? Do you know that those directors are really on our side? Do you know how much money he can control in his hands? Can you guarantee that HSBC and Standard Chartered will not be in the end?
Regret all the time? Don’t trust others too much, and don’t be too confident.”
The old man's words really shocked Michael Kadoorie, but he had never thought about this issue. Liu Luanxiong's plan and funds have not yet been found out. The directors' true intentions and the bank's guarantee are not correct.
It can be realized, but those people gave him a non-binding verbal promise. "Don't worry, I will try my best to implement all these."
Seeing Michael Kadoorie leaving, the old man sat back down with a smile, picked up the tea cup and drank the tea in it, as if nothing had happened.
