Chapter 290: 284 CK Hutchison's new shareholder Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu! Boss Li
The next day,
Early in the morning.
"Azu, something happened with the exchange and learning."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was making claypot rice with Ruan Mei in the kitchen when Mao Xiang Yang called.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was startled: "What's wrong?"
Mao Xiang Yang: "Because the flood situation is not very good, now a large number of medical staff need to be transferred to East China."
"Originally, most hospitals were fighting to go to Hong Kong for exchange and learning, but last night a red-headed document came down, requiring a large number of medical staff to be transferred from each province."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu stopped the soy sauce bottle in his hand: "It seems it's already very serious."
Mao Xiang Yang: "Yes... By the way, the medicine you bought has already been airlifted to Anhui Province, and the people over there said they want to thank you."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "As long as it doesn't add trouble."
Then Mao Xiang Yang changed the subject: "However, despite needing to support over there, Guangdong Province can still transfer a team of more than 300 people to Hong Kong for exchange and learning."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was happy: "Welcome, welcome, when will they come?"
Mao Xiang Yang: "4 days later, they will take a bus from Guangzhou and arrive in Hong Kong."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "Okay."
After eating claypot rice for breakfast, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu went downstairs, where Xiao Fu, Ah Xing, and others were waiting, eating breakfast.
"Brother Zu."
"Get me a copy of 'Ta Kung Pao' and 'Wen Wei Po'."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu came to the newsstand.
The boss picked up two newspapers and handed them to Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.
On the second page of "Ta Kung Pao," he saw the relevant news:
"Since May 15, our province has encountered continuous extraordinary heavy rainfall rare in a century, highly concentrated in the region, causing the Huaihe River to form extraordinary flood peaks three times in a row, and the water level of the main stream of the Yangtze River has exceeded the warning line..."
"As one of China's five major freshwater lakes, Chaohu Lake, its water level has also risen sharply, far exceeding the flood limit water level..."
"The water levels of all major inland rivers have generally risen sharply, and all major reservoirs are in a state of over-storage, having to urgently blow up embankments to discharge floods in 15 places..."
"Roads were washed away, houses collapsed with a bang, crops were swept away, and villages, fields, towns, and factories were submerged in the surging flood..."
And in "Wen Wei Po" there is a piece of data:
"The disaster area reached 37.68 million mu, accounting for 50% of the sown area, and grain production decreased by 7 billion kilograms. What is even more severe is that the affected population reached 22 million, accounting for 47% of our province's agricultural population, and a large number of families are facing difficulties."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked at this data...
It's not even July yet, the heavy rain in July will be even bigger...
Difficult!
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu sighed.
Forget it, he can be considered to have done his part.
"Brother Zu!"
At this time, Fang Zhanbo walked over from the other side, saw Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, and walked over quickly to say hello.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu nodded in response.
Fang Zhanbo has been busy with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's acquisition of CK Hutchison recently, because the market is relatively pessimistic and he is secretly acquiring, so the acquisition is going smoothly.
Currently, Boss Li mainly has three businesses: CK Hutchison (Real Estate + Infrastructure + Property), Watsons (Retail), Electric Lighting (Energy Power (half of Hong Kong)).
CK Hutchison is the strongest and has the largest capital.
Boss Li, aren't you very good at making money? In the future, you'll have to share a part of your money with me!
Hehehe~~~
……
……
In a flash, 4 days passed.
Boss Li was looking at the documents reported from above.
First report: "Report on the Business Status of ParknShop Supermarket in Causeway Bay"
Because it was boycotted by Causeway Bay residents, the foot traffic began to drop sharply, and now only about 40% remains.
And goods are unsalable, perishable goods (vegetables, fruits, etc.) are deteriorating, affecting product quality and customer experience, and finally causing a vicious cycle, more and more customers are leaving, turnover has dropped significantly, and business conditions are critical.
Unsalability and declining revenue brought a double blow, economic losses were huge, and employees who were once proactive started to slack off one by one.
Boss Li felt a headache when he saw this.
He didn't know how to save it, any discounts or the like were just drinking poison to quench thirst.
Vicious cycle.
Put it aside for now, look at the second report.
"Five-Star Supermarket Data · Feasibility Analysis Report"
This was the Five-Star Supermarket data sent by Tan Meili last time, and then Boss Li found a mole to verify it, it's true.
Then Boss Li gathered the backbone of Watsons Group and set up a team specifically to study this thing.
Now the analysis report is out.
"Overview: Five-Star Supermarket model emphasizes excellent customer service, high quality, high cost-performance products, achieving significant improvement in customer loyalty and repurchase rate..."
"Difficulties: 1: Self-operation and quality control of products, which puts extremely high demands on the supply chain and logistics system... 2:..."
"Conclusion: Although the Five-Star Supermarket model is feasible to a certain extent, it is difficult to achieve the expected effect..."
The report is very long and the analysis is very careful.
After reading it all, Boss Li felt that the Five-Star Supermarket model might not work.
Customer loyalty is no problem, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's support rate is particularly high.
But the problem is that quality control is difficult.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu wants to stock from China Resources, which is naturally a mainland channel, mainland factories have just developed, quality is uneven, very worrying, how to ensure quality?
(Guangdong Province, Tan Meili, who was inspecting the production workshop of the supplier factory, sneezed.)
"Knock knock knock~~~"
At this time, the secretary knocked on the door: "Chairman, Minister Zhang of the Investment Department has something to report."
Boss Li: "Come in."
After Minister Zhang came in: "Chairman..."
Boss Li: "What's the matter?"
Minister Zhang took out a document: "Boss, yesterday, the technical staff of our Investment Department's stock monitoring department discovered that there were unknown funds actively trading in our CK Hutchison stock, and the stock was also rising."
"Then after a day of searching, it was basically determined that someone was quietly absorbing CK Hutchison's stock."
Boss Li's expression tightened instantly.
Enemies are stealing the house!
During this period, Boss Li borrowed another 2 billion, taking advantage of CK Hutchison's low stock price to repurchase.
As a result, someone had the same idea as him.
His face was serious: "Did you find out who?"
Minister Zhang: "Currently haven't found out."
Boss Li: "Do you know what percentage the other party absorbed?"
Minister Zhang: "Through the comparison of transactions, it is estimated that 8% of the shares have been absorbed."
"8%? That's not right, is it?" Boss Li frowned, "According to the Stock Exchange's 'Listing Rules' and 'Securities and Futures Ordinance', investors holding 5% of a listed company's shares must disclose it to the Stock Exchange and the company..."
"Wait, could it be more than one person?"
Boss Li instantly smelled a familiar scene...
Tycoon Zheng, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, Boss Lin, three old foxes!
"It must be these three bastards!"
Last time they shorted CK Hutchison, made money, and this time they took advantage of CK Hutchison's low stock price, so they came to steal the house?
Boss Li became angrier the more he thought about it!
Too insidious!
Called the Finance Department.
Not long after, the Minister of Finance came.
Boss Li: "Our company, how much money can we use now?"
Minister of Finance: "Borrowed 2 billion from the bank for the kidnapper incident last time, and then borrowed 2 billion two days ago to repurchase stock and raise the stock price, now it's basically used up... only emergency funds are reserved."
Boss Li had a toothache.
Qu Qu Yin Zhi money money...
Lost too much during this period, 3 billion for kidnappers, 4 billion for market rescue, all lost.
Boss Li: "That is to say, now we don't have extra money to rescue the market?"
Minister of Finance: "Yes, many of our loans have risk warning lines, now they are almost at the warning line, borrowing more may be very risky."
Boss Li listened, feeling a splitting headache.
However, he quickly found a method.
Said to Minister Zhang of the Investment Department:
"Spread the news immediately... now CK Hutchison's stock is at a low point, several bank institutions, Tycoon Zheng, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, Boss Lin, etc., are all buying CK Hutchison stock in large quantities." Must announce it, attract retail investors to participate, and pull up the stock price.
In short, can't let Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and these three old foxes take advantage!
"Yes!"
Of course, the disadvantage of this is that the 2 billion he used to repurchase stock will eventually recover much fewer shares.
……
Soon, a piece of news began to spread among securities institutions, and then passed to investors through securities managers...
"What?"
"Large funds started buying CK Hutchison stock?"
"Banks, Tycoon Zheng, they all entered the market?"
"Even that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu entered the market? It'll be too late if we don't act now?"
"F***, CK Hutchison is going to rise!"
!.
"Charge charge charge!"
"CK Hutchison is a high-quality stock, not those junk stocks, charge!"
Many old-timer investors heard the news and realized this news should be true.
Moreover, even if the news isn't true, a high-quality stock like CK Hutchison, which is Real Estate + Property + Infrastructure, will definitely not lose money.
So, they bought CK Hutchison stock one after another.
And those investors who had just sold CK Hutchison stock were cursing.
"The dealer is harvesting leeks!"
"Too insidious!"
CK Hutchison's stock rose rapidly like this, and by the time the market closed in the afternoon, it had already risen by 11%.
Market value rose by 6 billion!
However, Boss Li couldn't laugh at all, because he lost more, losing both money and shares.
"However, being able to snipe those three bastards from acquiring CK Hutchison is not bad!"
Thinking of this, Boss Li smiled a little.
……
……
At night,
Peninsula Hotel, Spring Moon.
"Cheers!"
"Hahaha~~~"
"This time we squeezed 10% of the shares from old Li, not bad."
"The only pity is that old Li found out too early, making us have to spend more money."
In front of the dining table, roast goose, white cut chicken, honey-glazed barbecue pork, steamed star grouper, steamed pork ribs with black bean sauce, oyster sauce lettuce...
Tycoon Zheng, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, and Boss Lin raised their glasses,
Cheers!
The mood of the three was very good.
The acquisition action went very smoothly.
At this time, the three people's shareholding was 4.9%, 2.6%, and 2.5% respectively. The three added up to 10%, and it was also because the three people separated, so they didn't trigger that 5% disclosure requirement.
Originally they had enough funds to continue acquiring, but unfortunately, the stock rose now, so there was no need to continue.
There will be opportunities next time.
After three collaborations, the three had cultivated a good tacit understanding.
Up to this point!
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu finally became a shareholder of CK Hutchison!
In the future, he will take more shares!
"From now on, Boss Li is my ox and horse!"
"Hehehe~~~"
……
……
2 hours later,
The three parted ways, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu left the Peninsula Hotel by car and returned to Causeway Bay.
Just arrived downstairs, an unexpected person was standing downstairs.
Li Cangdong!
Li Cangdong saw Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's blue Bentley and walked over quickly.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu got out of the car and smiled: "Li sir, what wind blew you here."
Li Cangdong lowered his head: "Brother Zu, I resigned, want to find a bite to eat with you."
"Ah?"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was stunned: "Why resign?"
Li Cangdong was 30% angry, 30% bitter smile: "Last time I exposed Young Master Li, the Commissioner and my superiors were very dissatisfied and transferred me to the logistics department. I felt it was meaningless, and I knew I couldn't get promoted in the future, so I just resigned."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu realized after hearing this.
As for whether to accept...
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu thought about it, Li Cangdong is a person who can be a Chief Inspector and team leader in the Criminal Intelligence Bureau, which requires IQ, his ability is definitely high.
If you don't accept this kind of ox and horse, heaven will strike you!
"Okay, then follow me!" Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled and patted Li Cangdong's shoulder.
"Thank you, Brother Zu," Li Cangdong thanked, feeling relieved inwardly.
He was afraid Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu wouldn't accept.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu thought about it: "Recently I want to go to Kowloon to expand the property company and charity foundation, expand the area. When the time comes, you go to be the person in charge."
Person in charge?
Li Cangdong was startled.
Instantly felt flattered.
"Thank you, Brother Zu!"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked at Li Cangdong's head, skill · activate!
Loyalty 60%!
This loyalty is already very good for a newcomer.
"By the way..." Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu suddenly thought of one thing, "Tomorrow in Guangdong Province, a batch of medical staff will come to Mingxin Hospital for half a year of exchange and learning. Tomorrow at noon around 11 o'clock, they will enter Hong Kong, when the time comes, you follow Ah Wah and take people to welcome them, you be Ah Wah's deputy, exercise more."
Low EQ: Ox and horse!
High EQ: Exercise!
"Brother Zu... actually gave me such an important task so quickly!"
Li Cangdong was moved to tears!
……
……
130 kilometers away,
Guangzhou.
Near Sun Yat-sen First Hospital, in a house.
Internal medicine doctor Li Minghui was lying on the bed at this time, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
The moonlight outside the window sprinkled on his face through the gap in the curtains, his thoughts were chaotic, all surrounding the exchange and learning opportunity in Hong Kong coming tomorrow.
For Hong Kong, he was full of curiosity.
Heard that there are high-rise buildings, extremely prosperous, with a beautiful Victoria Harbour, brilliant night scenery, shopping paradise.
By the way, there are also those movie stars, big tycoons...
Heard the pace of life there is particularly fast.
Heard that people there discriminate against mainlanders.
Heard that many people there want to immigrate and leave.
Heard that there are mixed gangs and societies there, hooligans are everywhere, and public security is very chaotic.
He had heard all kinds of news.
Of course, he was also looking forward to Hong Kong hospitals that are in line with international standards, should have many new technologies, new therapies, he can learn many new things.
Unknowingly, it was past two in the morning, and he couldn't hold back his sleepiness and fell asleep.
"Tomorrow I can go to Hong Kong and see this big metropolis..."
"Heard there are mixed gangs and societies there, hooligans are everywhere, and public security is very chaotic..."
