The rise of Hong Kong's wealthy families

Chapter 122 Box Office Acquisition

Early March

The box office share of "Home Alone" was received, and its film company received US$250 million in revenue, which shocked the entire American film industry. The film company also became a major movie company.

He Jiahao asked the film company to keep 50 million US dollars, and Huo Jianning asked Huo Jianning to go to the United States to handle the remaining 200 million dollars. He used the money to invest in gold. By the way, he learned about the current situation of the film company and also brushed up on the presence of the head office.

In the trading room of Standard Chartered Bank, He Jiahao has been here for several days, staring closely at the stock purchase of Hepu International. He now holds 18%, which is still 4.4% short of the voting rights of HSBC Bank. Given the difference in equity, I'm afraid it will take more than half a month to acquire it.

The current share price of Hepu International has soared to 14.3 yuan, which is still about 600 million yuan away from the real asset value.

"He Sheng, there are now 20 million scattered shares on the market, accounting for 5% of the total share capital. Do we want to win them all? If we win them all, we will be exposed, but the target value will be achieved." Qian Jun turned around and looked at He Jiahao said seriously.

A look of struggle appeared on He Jiahao's face, the pros and cons were so clear, "If you eat these 20 million shares, how much money will you have left?"

"There should be another 400-450 million." Qian Jun responded.

"Okay, eat them all." He Jiahao gritted his teeth and said, just expose it. Sooner or later, people will know it. It is not easy to own 0.6% more equity than HSBC. If you continue to buy secretly, you may not be able to acquire it. 23%, it may be discovered.

Two hours later, Qian Jun was sweating profusely and said to He Jiahao, "All 20 million shares have been acquired. The stock price has risen to 15.6 yuan. The stock price is still rising. There is still 440 million yuan in your special account."

"Well, the hard-earned money has been paid off." He Jiahao said with a smile. He used 1.3 billion to purchase 23% of the equity of Hepu International. It was a good deal. He was already one of the major shareholders of Hepu International.

"He Sheng, we have been exposed. The stock price will not fall for the time being. Do you still need me to continue buying?" Qian Jun slumped in his chair and asked He Jiahao.

He Jiahao shook his head, "No need for the moment, wait for my instructions."

440 million yuan seems like a lot of funds, but in fact, the ensuing acquisition war will only be able to buy 3%-5% of the shares of Hepu International. Continuing the acquisition will only make those shareholders cheaper.

After walking out of the Standard Chartered Bank Building, He Jiahao looked at the scenery outside and exhaled, "Acquiring a large company is really stressful. It all depends on the subsequent negotiations."

He has already taken action, now it depends on the reaction of Li Jiacheng and HSBC.

You said this is an investment, not an acquisition?

Not to mention that Li Jiacheng didn't believe it, even the small investors who were not well-informed didn't believe it.

If Li Jiacheng wants to get Hepu International at a small price, he must come and negotiate with He Jiahao, otherwise the Hepu International he gets will be a mess, and he may not even get Hepu International.

Although HSBC has great power, only Huamei Real Estate Company, a company owned by He Jiahao, has some stock investments there. If HSBC wants to embarrass Huamei Real Estate, it will inevitably have a certain impact on the reputation of the bank. Shen Bi is a smart man and should know How to choose.

The only thing he worries about is whether Standard Chartered Bank can withstand the pressure from HSBC.

So He Jiahao came to Wanguo Baotong Bank in search of a way out.

The person in charge, Gauss, received He Jiahao, "Mr. He, long time no see."

Since cashing out in November last year, He Jiahao has not been to Wanguo Baotong Bank for four months.

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for a while." He responded with a smile.

"I heard that Mr. He's head office in the United States has a large investment. I wonder if it is the same investment this time?" Gauss asked with some hope. He knew that He Jiahao invested heavily, so he naturally hoped to increase his business volume in Hong Kong. .

"Investment is investment, but it is not gold investment, but intention investment." He Jiahao smiled meaningfully.

"Intentional investment? I don't quite understand. Please explain it to Mr. He." Gauss thought for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.

"It's very simple. I am carrying out an acquisition case, and the bank for the loan is Standard Chartered Bank. However, I am worried that Standard Chartered Bank will not be able to handle it, so I may need the help of Wan Guo Baotong Bank in the later stage."

"Excuse me, how large-scale the acquisition is?" Goss asked with some worry and excitement.

He Jiahao smiled evilly, "Mr. Gauss should have heard of Hepu International Company. Now I hold 23% of the company's shares and have borrowed 1.75 billion yuan from Standard Chartered Bank."

"Such a large acquisition requires the deployment of a large amount of funds, and it takes a long time. If it is only possible, this will be very detrimental to the bank's business." Goss looked embarrassed.

He Jiahao understood what Gauss meant and said with a smile, "Mr. Gauss, please rest assured that I will definitely use this money, and your bank will not lose its profits in vain. I can invest this money in the stock market. Next year I will have a The single acquisition case is no smaller than the Hepu International acquisition case, and can be carried out by Wanguo Baotong Bank. What does Mr. Gauss think of such a plan?"

Gauss did not doubt He Jiahao's strength. He had investigated He Jiahao's background information before, and he also knew how much investment funds He Jiahao had in the head office.

"We believe in Mr. He's strength, and we are very satisfied with this plan." Gauss said with a bright smile, "Standard Chartered Bank is in financial difficulty, can't Mr. He provide funds for the acquisition?"

He Jiahao thought for a while and felt that this kind of thing couldn't be hidden, so it was better to say it now and let Gauss be mentally prepared. "Mr. Gauss knows that the major shareholder of Hepu International Company is HSBC Bank."

Seeing Gauss nodded, he continued, "Actually, according to the information I learned, Mr. Shen Bi, the chief executive of HSBC Bank, has planned to sell 22.4% of Hepu International's shares to Li Jiacheng of Huanghe Industrial Company, and plans to sell every The shares were sold at a price of 7.1 yuan and paid off in two years. With such strong support, does Mr. Gauss think Mr. Shen Bi will give up easily?"

They are all senior executives in the banking industry. Gauss should easily understand Shen Bi's thoughts. This is a deal that is much bigger than it appears.

"I see. No wonder Mr. He had to make a second plan in advance."

Seeing Gauss's expression of sudden realization, He Jiahao smiled and asked, "Mr. Gauss, your bank is my last choice. If your bank cannot withstand the blow from HSBC, I'm afraid I will have to bear it alone."

"Mr. He is overly worried. Based on Mr. He's investment in the head office and his career in the American film industry, IBC has no reason to abandon Mr. He and choose HSBC as its rival." Goss said seriously.

They are all banks. Whether it is investment or savings, HSBC is a giant in Hong Kong. However, China Bank is a giant in the world's banking industry. It must also want to snatch some business from HSBC, otherwise it will not develop.

He Jiahao also valued this and came to seek help.

After discussing with Gauss, He Jiahao returned home and took contingency measures, especially for companies that he did not control or potential threats.

Because HSBC is so strong that He Jiahao is a little scared, so it must make strategic arrangements.
