1404 [The next two cities]
At 9:30, as soon as the Hong Kong stock market opened, the summer was full of energy. Never hold back and mobilize all funds to absorb the shares of the target company.
37 billion Hong Kong dollars is one-sixth of the current total market value of the Hong Kong stock market. Such a large amount of money entering the stock market is like a great white shark rushing into an aquarium, which is enough to cause a bloody storm.
Tens of millions and hundreds of millions of stocks were sold instantly, and the amount was comparable to that of the universe's black hole. Seeing the stocks in their hands rising, Xia Tian couldn't help laughing.
The companies he and Liang Botao chose are large listed companies, with market value of around 50 billion Hong Kong dollars before the stock market crash, and are considered small giants in the Hong Kong business world.
Moreover, they all have high-quality assets, such as properties, hotels, land, factories, etc. As a result of the stock market crash, their stock prices plummeted, and their market value was far lower than the actual assets. Now the acquisition is good and cheap.
Furthermore, the holdings of these companies are unstable, and the major shareholders have no more than 50% of the shares, so after the acquisition, they can actually control the shares first and take down the assets of the entire listed company together.
Xia Tian estimated that if he and Liang Botao chose these companies to successfully win, his profit this time would be as high as HK$40 billion. In the long run, his profit this time would exceed HK$100 billion. No matter how he looked at it, he issued it this time.
"Mr. Xia, we have acquired Henglong Real Estate." He was just happy when he heard Liang Botao say with a smile.
"Really?! Good, good job!" Xia Tian said happily when he heard this.
Hang Lung Real Estate was founded by Mr. Chen Zengxi in 1960. Chen Zengxi is from Taishan, eastern Guangdong. He went to Japan to study and then worked at the Yonglong Bank of Hong Kong. In the early 1950s, Chen Zengxi resigned from the bank and jointly invested with his peers to establish Dalong Real Estate, and began to get involved in the real estate industry.
He started to establish his own business in 1960s and founded Henglong. In 1972, Henglong was listed. At the same time, Li Jiacheng's Changjiang Industry, Guo Desheng's Sun Hung Kai Properties, Zheng Yutong's New World and Hu Yingxiang's Hehe Industrial. Their five real estate companies are also known as the Five Tiger Generals of Chinese Real Estate.
Although Hang Lung Real Estate's subsequent development is not as good as Cheung Kong Industrial, Sun Hung Kai Properties and New World, it is also a small giant among Hong Kong real estate companies. Before the stock market crash, the market value is 6.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, it has many commercial buildings, and more than a dozen real estate projects under development, which can be said to have great potential.
However, it only took HK$3.5 billion to acquire it in the summer, which was a huge profit.
...
"Mr. Xia, we have taken over Taoda Real Estate again." Liang Botao cheered.
"Really?! Well done!" Xia Tian said in surprise when he heard this.
Taoda Real Estate is a well-known food company in Hong Kong. Yes, although its name says "Local Estate" is listed, it is indeed a food company.
The predecessor of Taoda was Taohua, founded in Xiamen in 1908. In addition to brewing soy sauce, it also engaged in milk business. In 1928, Taohua set up a factory in Hong Kong to brew soy sauce. In 1954, Taoda acquired a large area of land in Niutou Kok, Kowloon and established the "Taoda Industrial Village". In addition to setting up a factory, it also opened nurseries, employee dormitories, etc.
In the late 1950s, Taoda was involved in the soda business again, and the famous Emerald Orange Juice was the agent. In addition, Taoda once had the agency rights for seven brands of sodas including PepsiCola.
In 1980s, Hang Lung Real Estate acquired Taoda and turned it into its own subsidiary. However, Hang Lung Real Estate's purpose was not to attract Taoda's food industry, but to a large area of land owned by Taoda in Niutou Kok, Kowloon.
Those lands were not worth much in the 1950s, but in the 1980s, the price soared more than thirty times. Hang Lung Real Estate acquired Taoda and suddenly owned hundreds of thousands of square feet of land in Niutoujiao, Kowloon, which was like a big advantage.
In 1987, Taoda changed its name to Taoda Real Estate and began to engage in real estate investment and development.
Xia Tian has already acquired more than 40% of the shares of Taoda because of the acquisition of Henglong. Now he has acquired more than 10% and immediately more than half of the shares have been controlled.
...
"Botao, keep working hard and strive to take down all these companies today. Otherwise, tomorrow, everyone will be prepared and it will not be so easy." Xia Tian reminded.
Now he is using everyone to focus on stock market crashes, and when no one pays attention, he launches a sudden attack and takes down these companies in one fell swoop.
Otherwise, once the news leaks, it will not be so easy to acquire it. At that time, people can buy back the stocks and make a counter-acquisition. Even if they can acquire the controlling stake, they will have to spend a lot of money.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xia." Liang Botao nodded with a smile.
At this moment, Xia Tian’s elder brother suddenly rang.
He was stunned and hesitated whether to answer the call.
Because he and Liang Botao's acquisition behavior may not be hidden from others in many cases. If someone warns this time, what should I do? Should I stop taking action again?
If you stop, you will have no chance to make money. If you keep going, you may offend some ruling parties. No matter how rich a businessman is, it is certain that this is undoubtedly true. Even if it is the US government that represents the interests of capitalists, it is not difficult to deal with one or two capitalists.
"Botao, please help me answer this call and ask who it is." Xia Tian handed over the elder brother to Liang Botao.
Liang Botao nodded and answered the phone, "Hey, hello, I am Mr. Xia's assistant. Mr. Xia has just gone out. You are Mr. Li Fuzhao. What's the matter with Mr. Xia? Can I help you convey it? OK, OK, I understand."
"How is it, what did Mr. Li say?" Xia Tian asked hurriedly after Liang Botao hung up the phone.
"Mr. Li said, let's use the 5 billion Hong Kong dollars to focus on attracting the four stocks of HSBC Holdings, Hang Seng Bank, Telephone Company, and China Gas." Liang Botao said.
"Hmph, it's really a good thing that doesn't flow to outsiders." Xia Tian curled his lips when he heard this.
HSBC Holdings, Hang Seng Bank is a company because Hang Seng Bank is actually controlled by HSBC. The telephone company is also a British-owned company, which is also considered "state-owned".
Only China Gas is Xia Tian’s own company. It is probably because the Hong Kong government is really embarrassed to save the market and save the company only, so it added this company.
Xia Tian guessed that he probably only had Chinese gas, while Lee Ka-shing was mostly Hong Kong electric lights, Lee Zhaoji should be Henderson, and Guo Desheng should be Sun Hung Kai Properties...
