Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon Chapter 541

Although Li Zhiwen knew that Bao Yugang was right, he spread his hands and said, "Old Bao, I know what you mean, but I also have my difficulties."

"I'll tell you the truth, I have about 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash flow in my hands. If I borrow another 500 million Hong Kong dollars from the bank, there is absolutely no problem in winning Wheelock."

"But the 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars I have other uses, and I earn more than winning Wheelock, if you have the funds, you can give it to me, not to mention too much, turn it over two or three in three or five months. It's not a big problem!" Li Zhiwen said.

In fact, Li Zhiwen collected it in his hands, and he has a cash flow of about two billion yuan. There is absolutely no problem in winning Wheelock.

But the 2 billion Hong Kong dollars Li Zhiwen intends to use to short the Hong Kong dollar.

If it was used to acquire Wheelock, Li Zhiwen would not be able to make up his mind, and he would not be able to give up such a large profit.

Bao Yugang was shocked when he heard Li Zhiwen's words. In three to five months, it has doubled or tripled, such a high-quality project.

But after calming down, Bao Yugang began to think about what good projects could make so much money today.

On the other hand, Bao Yugang was not worried that Li Zhiwen would lie to him. Bao Yugang still had this confidence.

After thinking about it, Bao Yugang really couldn't think of any project, so he could only ask: "Awen, what you said makes me scratch my heart like a cat's claws. It's so uncomfortable. What kind of project is your project?"

"I can't say more about the specifics, but the success rate is more than 90%, and it has something to do with the exchange rate. If you are interested in the old bag, you can give me some of the funds. If you are not interested, just think I didn't say it!"

"But don't even think about mortgaging the company to the bank. This project doesn't require such a large amount of capital. You can invest the spare money in your hand." Li Zhiwen smiled without saying a word.

Li Zhiwen is not worried that Bao Yugang earns too much, because Bao Yugang earns more, and Li Zhiwen himself must earn more.

After all, according to Li Zhiwen's estimation, it is not a big problem to make a profit five times this time.

And Li Zhiwen gave Bao Yugang three times the profit, and almost doubled the profit for Bao Yugang.

But the reason why Li Zhiwen said this is because the Hong Kong River is too small. If Li Zhiwen invests too much, it will arouse suspicion from the Hong Kong government, so there will not be too many.

And Li Zhiwen and Bao Yugang said this, on the one hand, to repay Bao Yugang for thinking of himself, on the other hand, because Li Zhiwen was tempted by what Bao Yugang said.

Yes, Li Zhiwen is tempted. Wheelock is one of the four major foreign firms in Xiangjiang, which is of great significance to Li Zhiwen.

Li Zhiwen also had an idea to fight Wheelock before, but not now, but in 1985.

Because at that time, Marden would have the idea of ​​selling the shares of Wheelock.

But who knew that things didn't play out as Li Zhiwen thought, Little Madden couldn't hold it anymore, and sold the shares of Wheelock to Qiu Depu.

This made Li Zhiwen a Muggle, and everything was crowded together.

In fact, according to Li Zhiwen's situation at this time, Li Zhiwen has never completely won one of the four major foreign firms.

The Hutchison Whampoa that was obtained was taken from Li Jiacheng. At that time, Hutchison Whampoa was no longer controlled by the ghosts, and naturally it could not be regarded as the four major foreign companies.

As for Jardine Matheson, although Li Zhiwen had many conflicts with Jardine Matheson, and bit a lot of meat from Jardine Matheson, that was all, and he did not completely win the Jardine Matheson.

Therefore, the acquisition of Jardine Matheson's companies has not shaken the status of Jardine Matheson, and Jardine Matheson is still the first of the four foreign companies.

Then there is Swire Pacific, which is mainly engaged in real estate and aviation.

Cathay Pacific is the cartel of Hong Kong Airlines, the only one.

So the huge profits were taken away by Swire Pacific.

As for real estate, Swire Pacific is regarded as the foreign firm with the best asset-liability ratio among the four major foreign firms, so for this crisis, there is not much crisis in Swire Pacific, and Li Zhiwen has no way to start.

In fact, Li Zhiwen coveted Cathay Pacific Airways. You must know that Hong Kong is made up of islands, and it is necessary to deal with Cathay Pacific Airways when going around the world. Therefore, Li Zhiwen really wanted to take Cathay Pacific Airways under his command, but there was no chance.

Li Zhiwen also admires Swire Pacific's senior class, Shiyoke Shihuai.

Because in the previous life, Swire Pacific was the only one of the four major foreign firms that was not acquired by Chinese capital, whether it was the entire foreign firm or its properties.

Even Jardine Matheson, the leader of the four major foreign firms, was the first to take over the large group of Wharf, which was held by Bao Yugang.

And Bao Yugang relied on Wharf, and only then did he have the strength to compete with Qiu Depu to win Wheelock.

Not to mention Hutchison Whampoa, which was directly acquired by Li Cucumber.

So from this point, Li Zhiwen admires Shiyoke Shihuai.

Of course, it was Wheelock, so at this moment, Li Zhiwen wanted to bring in Bao Yugang, and then used some of the funds to fight with Qiu Deba and win Wheelock.

And Bao Yugang was overjoyed when he heard Li Zhiwen's words.

Bao Yugang admired Li Zhiwen very much at this time, and the two had cooperated before, so he did not doubt Li Zhiwen's words at all.

But after Bao Yugang's surprise, a trace of sadness appeared on his face.

There is no other reason. When Li Zhiwen, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong and Jardine Matheson were in the ring before, Bao Yugang had already pumped out a large part of the funds.

Now Li Zhiwen asked him to withdraw funds again, not because he did not trust Li Zhiwen, but because Bao Yugang felt that he could take out too little.

This is a business that can double or triple in three or five months, and there is no risk.

That's right, although Li Zhiwen didn't say he was dead, he just said that he was 90% sure, but in Bao Yugang's view, he was already 100% sure, and the remaining achievement was Bao Yugang's trust in Li Zhiwen.

Besides, no one dares to say that they are 90% sure of doing business, so Li Zhiwen said it is already very high, and Bao Yugang dared to gamble.

After being silent for a while, Bao Yugang said: "Awen, you know, I have bet all my fortune since I was in the Wharf. Although it has slowed down in recent years, I have dealt with Jardine Matheson together with you before. So I don't have much to take out."

"A maximum of 120 million Hong Kong dollars, this can be said to be my family's wealth. I will mortgage my house in Los Angeles first, and collect 150 million Hong Kong dollars to give you. Do you think it is okay?" Bao Yugang said.

Mortgage of the house in Los Angeles has no impact on Bao Yugang's company, so this is why Bao Yugang said this.

Of course, this also depends on Li Zhiwen. If Li Zhiwen said that he could not use so much, then Bao Yugang would not mortgage the house in Los Angeles.

Hearing Bao Yugang's words, Li Zhiwen nodded, 150 million Hong Kong dollars was not much.

And it has no impact on Bao Yugang's company, so Li Zhiwen agreed.

"Okay, that's it, 150 million Hong Kong dollars is fine!" Li Zhiwen said.

Hearing Li Zhiwen's words, Bao Yugang was pleasantly surprised: "Then, Awen, you give me three days, and I will send the funds, but old Huona."

Bao Yugang mentioned Huo Yingdong because the three of them can be said to be on the same boat from the current point of view.

Li Zhiwen pulled Bao Yugang in. It would not be appropriate to not pull Huo Yingdong, so Bao Yugang reminded Li Zhiwen.

"Don't worry, Lao Huo, let me tell you!" Li Zhiwen said.

"That's good!" Bao Yugang said.

Bao Yugang can provide 150 million Hong Kong dollars, and Li Zhiwen thinks Huo Yingdong can at least provide 200 to 300 million Hong Kong dollars.

Li Zhiwen is still very confident about this, and Li Zhiwen is going to invest 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars into the foreign exchange market. In this case, Li Zhiwen can invest about 400 million Hong Kong dollars less.

In this way, Li Zhiwen can spend 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire Wheelock.

But it still seems not enough, because according to the current share price of Wheelock & Co., it will take one billion Hong Kong dollars to win 34% of Zhang Yuliang's shares.

And how can the remaining 200 million Hong Kong dollars hold more than 50% of the shares.

Li Zhiwen either doesn't do it, and if he wants to do it, he must do it in one step.

Moreover, Qiu Depu, as a wealthy Singaporean businessman, is a dragon, and his purchase of Wheelock & Co.'s shares in Marden's hands is definitely not for investment.

He wanted to oppose him in order to control Wheelock, so Qiu Depu would win Wheelock at all costs.

So if Li Zhiwen wants to win more than 15% of the shares in the stock market, the price he has to pay is much higher.

Therefore, Li Zhiwen needs to prepare at least 800 million Hong Kong dollars in funds, because that is to meet Qiu De's bayonet.

Therefore, Li Zhiwen's current funding gap is very large, but the group under his opponent collects a part of the funds, but Li Zhiwen estimates that it is only 300 million Hong Kong dollars at most, and the gap is still 300 million Hong Kong dollars, which makes Li Zhiwen sad.

Perhaps seeing Li Zhiwen's concerns, Bao Yugang said, "Awen, do you want to win Wheelock?"

"Yes, if you don't tell me, I don't want that, but now that I know it, I have this idea. To win 34% of the shares in Zhang Yuliang's hands, it will cost at least one billion Hong Kong dollars. 50% of the shares, in an invincible position, according to my estimation, it will cost 800 million Hong Kong dollars."

"I figured it out myself, and the gap also looks like 300 million Hong Kong dollars. If it is to be done, it must be won, or else it will be acquired."

"And Qiu Deba should not be underestimated. He originally meant to land in Xiangjiang, but now Xiaoma Deng gave him a chance, how could he give up, so this is a fierce battle!" Li Zhiwen spread his hands and said.

Bao Yugang thought about it and said, "Why don't you try it with HSBC?"

Bao Yugang is a director of HSBC, so naturally he went to HSBC when he was short of money.

And because Li Zhiwen owns Yulong Bank, which naturally conflicts with HSBC's business, Li Zhiwen is not a director of HSBC.

If there is no Yulong Bank, Li Zhiwen will be sure to enter the board of directors of HSBC.

After all, Li Cucumber became a director of HSBC by relying on Hutchison Whampoa.

Of course, Li Zhiwen can also borrow from banks such as HSBC, but Li Zhiwen is not willing to do that.

Because Li Zhiwen already owed HSBC a large amount of money at this time, and if he borrows money now, he may cross the dangerous line.

In addition, Li Zhiwen is also ready to pit HSBC when the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate declines.

Going to borrow now will make HSBC feel that Li Zhiwen is doing it on purpose.

On a deeper level, Li Zhiwen guarantees that HSBC will not allow Wheelock to sell.

Because if Li Zhiwen wins Wheelock, then Li Zhiwen from the four oceans will win, plus the meat bitten off from Jardine Matheson.

Then Li Zhiwen will surpass Jardine Matheson and become a group company comparable to HSBC.

Presumably HSBC is reluctant to see this scene, so it is very likely that it will not support Li Zhiwen.

As for Li Zhiwen's own Yulong Bank, he had already borrowed a sum of money from Li Zhiwen himself. If he borrowed more, it might cause the Yulong Bank's loan-to-deposit ratio to be out of balance.

At such a sensitive time, bank runs can happen at any time, so Li Zhiwen did not dare to gamble.

After thinking about it, Li Zhiwen really has no choice. With 300 million Hong Kong dollars, this is not something that can be solved casually.

"Old Bao, as you know, HSBC and I seem to be friendly on the surface, but in fact HSBC is very jealous of me."

"Now if I go to HSBC for a loan, I don't know if I can borrow money, but if the news will leak, it's unknown."

"And now while Qiu Depu still doesn't know that we are secretly fighting Wheelock's idea, it's best not to talk about it now!" Li Zhiwen said.

When Bao Yugang heard Li Zhiwen's words, he also felt that what he said made sense, which made Bao Yugang frown.

"Awen, why don't you try Zhang Yuliang?" Bao Yugang said.

"Zhang Yuliang?" Li Zhiwen repeated his name, then wondered.

It's not that Li Zhiwen doesn't know who Zhang Yuliang is, but Zhang Yuliang himself is a major shareholder of Wheelock, and now he is looking for Bao Yugang to sell the shares of Wheelock and ask Zhang Yuliang to borrow money. This is not a joke.

"Awen, listen to me, why did Zhang Yuliang ask me to sell his shares instead of selling them directly to Qiu Depu? Why do you think this is?" Bao Yugang asked.

"Of course I want to make more money. After all, if there is only Qiu Deba alone, how can the stock price rise, Zhang Yuliang doesn't want to sell it cheaply!" Li Zhiwen said.

"You're right, but what's important is that Zhang Yuliang was dissatisfied with the fact that Marden had sold his shares without telling him, so he wanted to find someone to fight with Qiu Deba in the ring."

"And if he is looking for us to fight in the arena, and he wants to make more money, then it is okay to lend us a sum of money, of course, or it can be said to pay a deposit for the acquisition of shares of course, and wait until the acquisition battle is completed, and then pay the remaining funds, I think Zhang Yuliang is also acceptable." Bao Yugang said.

Li Zhiwen was stunned by Bao Yugang's unpretentiousness, but after thinking about it, he thought it was feasible, so he agreed to Bao Yugang and asked Bao Yugang to help him learn from Zhang Yuliang.
