After lunch, Chen Chong quickly said goodbye and left. When he returned to the office, he immediately ordered Qiu Siyu to answer Zhu Jiading's phone number.

"Nh, I want you to help me with a crisis PR plan."

“What’s the matter?”

Shen Chong took off his coat, loosened his tie, and said, "My private life, you know."

"Someone wants to report Mr. Chen's private affairs?" Zhu Jiading said in surprise and asked, "Which media is it? I'll communicate with them."

"No, not yet." Chen Chong sat down and said, "But today someone reminded me that the Hong Kong media is becoming more and more developed. Sooner or later, someone will be shameless to report my private affairs. You have made a plan for me first, just in case."

"Okay." After Zhu Jiading responded, he paused for a while, and asked again: "Which side is the guide? The two people are in love, but the love is necessary?"

"I'm afraid this won't fool people." Chen Chong smiled and said, "Concentrate all the focus on me, be scheming, stepping on two boats, being too lewd, and doing whatever you want. Anyway, I'm neither a star nor a politician. It doesn't matter if I'm a little romantic, so try not to let the media harass them."

"no problem."

After putting down the phone, Chen Chong sat in the office chair, crossed his hands and frowned and thought deeply.

If Shen Bi and Bao Yu appeared together at lunch, Chen Chong would not be surprised at all. Bao Yugang and Land Group fought for the controlling stake in Hutchison Whampoa. The shares in his hands were very important. But Bao Yugang did not appear, but Chen Songqing appeared.

Although Chen Songqing's acquisition of Kinmen Building for nearly HK$1 billion was shocking the whole of Hong Kong, most of the money was financing loans, and his personal assets were only 100 million or 200 million. Without Chen Bi's recommendation, he would not have the capital to be on par with Shen Chong.

During the reign of HSBC, Chen Bi spent HK$100 million to build the HSBC Headquarters Building, which was the world's first building with a cost of more than US$1 billion and spent tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars to redecorate the HSBC Grand House in Pule Road, which is extravagant, but these measures have not been criticized because the bank building lets the whole world know HSBC's strength. The large house resale at a sky-high price during the peak of real estate, which also made a big profit.

His only failure was that he strongly supported Chen Songqing. HSBC not only provided him with a loan of about US$100 million, but its investment company Hudoli also deeply participated in the stock manipulation of Jianing Group. As a result, in 1984, Jianing Group went bankrupt, with debts of up to HK$100 million, and suffered heavy losses.

According to the analysis of reports that Chen Chong had read in his previous life, Chen Songqing was bold and greedy. In early 1979, he was just a small real estate developer worth about 100,000 yuan. Later, after receiving a huge loan from Malaysia, he expanded rapidly and did everything. In addition to real estate, he also involved in tourism, shipping, insurance, film and other fields. He not only worked in Hong Kong, but also invested on a large scale in Japan, Thailand, and the United States...

But this is not the key. The key point is that this man is cruel and ruthless. In early 1984, when the Jianing Group Building collapsed, he bought a murderer and strangled the key figure in the case, resulting in insufficient evidence from the prosecution and eventually escaped the prison.

Although there is no relationship between Chen Chong and Chen Songqing, even if the gossip is exposed, Chen Songqing will not get any benefits from it. However, it is not a bad thing to prepare for a crisis plan in advance and make a plan for handling the crisis in advance.

Chen Bi probably trained Chen Songqing as the next Li Ka-shing, but unfortunately Li Ka-shing only has one, but this is HSBC's business, not Chen Chong's business...

"A month ago, Longfeng International raised a large amount of social funds by issuing new shares, and then acquired the P500,000 shares of Hutchison Whampoa shares held by the Bao Yugang family at a price of HK$55 per share. Please note that Longfeng International is a subsidiary of Bao Yugang. This operation is equivalent to turning left and right, and did not lose the position of Hutchison Whampoa as a major shareholder. However, in this way, he successfully divested his personal financial liabilities to ensure that he has sufficient cash in his hand, and can attack and defend when he advances." Yuan Tianfan pointed to the slide and said: "In general, Bao Yugang holds about 30 Hutchison Whampoa shares, and Land Group is above % here. Now the Hutchison Whampoa stock price has been pushed up to more than HK$70 per share. Land Group wants to regain its position as the largest shareholder, at least 800 million yuan, but neither Land Group nor Jardinet Company can afford so much money now."

In the late 1970s, Jardine Wong's expansion overseas was in trouble, with the major shareholder holding low shares. Land Group was hit by Chinese real estate developers because of its conservative business techniques, and its profits dropped sharply, and its market value was not as large as its net assets. Both companies were coveted by capital tycoons. Faced with the unfavorable situation, Jardine Wong's chairman of the board of directors, Nübijian, adopted the "serial ship" self-protection measures, and held shares with Land Group and helped each other to avoid being sniped from the capital market and lost its business dominance. Therefore, Land Group and Pao Yugang competed for Hutchison Whampoa, and Jardine Wong naturally had to participate in the war.

After several rushes in the financial market, Shen Chong is no longer a financial idiot at the beginning of time travel. He immediately discovered the problem and asked: "The scale of new stock issuance of Longfeng International is so huge that ordinary retail investors can't buy much. What big merchants are behind it?"

"There is news in the market that HSBC has subscribed to many new shares of Longfeng International, while Changjiang Industrial has underwritten all new shares."

"With these two strong aids, Hutchison Whampoa is basically the fat meat in Bao Yugang's mouth." Chen Chong nodded slightly and said, "How many shares do we have in Hutchison Whampoa?"

"The US$100 million was basically used up. I bought more than 0,000 shares of RU and occupied all the shares of Hutchison Whampoa. Because I started early, the cost per share was around Hong Kong dollars."

"It's enough to influence the situation." Chen Chong pondered for a while and asked, "What's the news about Land Group?

"According to the news I received, just a few days ago, Bao Fuda, the general manager of Jardine Wong's large group, met with Bao Yugang and his son-in-law Wu Guangzheng." Yuan Tianfan pressed the remote control, switched the photos of the three buildings, and said: "The condition for Vadine Wong is that as long as Vadine Wong transfers the shares of Hutchison Wong to Jardine Wong, he will choose all properties of the Land Group in Hong Kong Island, and then he will choose these three, Kinmen Building, Prince Building, and Taikoo Building."

"Bao Yugang is a lion's mouth." Chen Chong exclaimed and said, "Based on the market value, the stocks in his hands are worth 100 million yuan, but the Golden Gate Building alone is worth 1 billion yuan. The Prince Building and the Taikoo Building are the two best buildings in the Central Ring Road, which are more expensive than the Golden Gate Building. Jardinet will never agree to this condition."

"Yes, the conditions for the opening of Newbie are Kinmen Building, Kowloon's Starlight Tour and some luxury houses in the Mid-mountain."

"If it were Ho Ying-Tong, he might agree to this condition. After all, Xingguangxing is his eternal pain." Chen Chong laughed and said, "But this condition is too petty for Bao Yugang. He has mansions all over the world and doesn't care whether it is half a mountain or not."

"Mr. Chen is very good at speaking and he doesn't make any speculation. The two sides eventually parted in disagreement." Yuan Tianfan picked up another remote control on the table, pressed it, opened the electric curtains in the conference room, and said: "Waterland Whampoa has docks and warehouses in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, New Territories and Hong Kong Island. It can be said that whoever controls the Whampoa will master Hong Kong's cargo loading and unloading and warehousing business. Bao Yugang started with shipping, and naturally he will win. Those docks and warehouses are all in the golden treasure land. If Jardine Hwa Land gets it and develops it into a residential area, it will immediately appreciate a hundred times. Therefore, the two sides will definitely fight to the death and sit down to negotiate, just to have a good deal."

"That's right." Chen Chong nodded. He held a pen and moved unconsciously. After a while, he asked: "The current law in Hong Kong stipulates that if the holdings do not exceed 49, there will be no forced comprehensive acquisition. Hutchison Whampoa is too big and no one can swallow it at once. They must be aiming at the absolute major shareholder of 49. Therefore, the shares in my hand are very important. When they came to me to negotiate, what conditions do you think I will open?"

"Pao Yugang only has a fleet, but I think Mr. Chen has no interest in shipping, so he can just collect money. If it is Land Land Group, I suggest to increase capital to purchase the Prince's Building." Yuan Tianfan picked up a piece of paper, drew a picture, and said: "The stocks of Hutchison Whampoa have been rising, and now they are more than 70 Hong Kong dollars. If Land Land Group is sincerely acquiring, it will have to be at least 30% premium, which means that it starts at HK$90 per share. In this way, the stocks we have in hand are worth about UU million. Land Land Group is now in a hurry to face Bao Yugang. If the capital increase is another 100 million US dollars, I think they will give up the Prince's Building. This building has a lot of room for appreciation in the future.

The Prince's Building was built in 2019. It has a high-rise building. The 5th floor of the ground is a shopping mall. It is famous for its luxury goods. The other multiple floors are office buildings. Tenants include world-class companies such as KPMG and Puhua Accounting Firm. The Hong Kong Legislative Council Secretariat is also among them. It is also the headquarters of Pao Yugang Global Shipping Group. It has a very advantageous geographical location and is full of buildings around it. You don't have to go downstairs and cross the street. You can go to Mandarin Oriental Hotel and the headquarters of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank from the overpass. It is one of the most valuable buildings in Central.

The 19RU dollar to Hong Kong dollars is 4. According to Yuan Tianfan's plan, the price of Prince Building is around 100 million yuan, but the real estate market in Hong Kong is very popular now, and 100 million yuan is definitely underestimated. The 1.5 billion yuan Land Group may not be able to sell it.

But the situation is better than that of people. Compared with Hutchison Whampoa, Prince Building is like sesame seeds and watermelons. As long as the time is right, Land Group must sell it if it doesn’t sell it. Otherwise, Shen Chong will transfer the stock to Bao Yugang, and Hutchison Whampoa, worth tens of billions, will have no chance with Land Group...

If Land Land Group makes up its mind and agrees to this condition, then Chen Chong can take over the Prince's Building at a cost of 100 million US dollars. This money is equivalent to only 100 million Hong Kong dollars, which is lower than the cost of Chen Songqing buying the Kinmen Building. It can be said that he ate Land Land Group hard and avenged the revenge that he was blackmailed when filming "Die Hard".
