Because under Ni Yongjun's leadership, Hutchison Whampoa will surely achieve new heights.
If Hutchison's performance improves, HSBC can also make a lot of money from its investment in Hutchison.
The HSBC chairman, caught in a dilemma, turned his attention to the shipping magnate, hoping he could offer a solution to the Shambaugh problem.
"The most important thing in doing business is to be trustworthy."
The shipping magnate looked up at the stern-seat manager, Shen Bi, and said these words.
When Shen Bi heard Bao Shuaiwang say this, he thought it was in support of him, so he was overjoyed.
"But the HSBC board has not yet made a decision."
Upon seeing Shen Bi's smiling face, the shipping magnate made another mocking remark.
"Yes, the shipping magnate is right."
"The board of directors has not yet decided who to sell the 90 million shares of Hutchison Holdings to."
"But Shen Bi's suggestion is also very good. Li Jiacheng is also a good businessman, and his Cheung Kong Holdings is doing well."
Upon hearing this, the HSBC chairman spoke up immediately.
Let's set the tone for this dispute directly.
Therefore, Sir Michael Sandberg agreed to Li Ka-shing's request, but only agreed to propose "070" at the board meeting. Whether it would be approved or not depended on the agreement of the board members.
With the board members voting against it, Sim Bi had no choice but to reject Li Jiacheng.
Upon hearing this, Shen Bi could only lower his head with a grim expression.
"How about this, we'll sell to whoever offers the highest price."
When the HSBC chairman saw that Sir Michael Sandberg had lowered his head, he couldn't bear it, so he proposed a middle ground that would give Sandberg a reason to explain to Li Jiacheng.
"I agree."
When the shipping magnate heard what the HSBC chairman said, he immediately raised his hand in agreement.
He knew that after acquiring Wharf Holdings' shares, Ni Yongjun would still have enough money to acquire 90 million shares of Hutchison Holdings without any problem.
So he immediately raised his hand in agreement.
Other HSBC directors also raised their hands in agreement when they heard that the highest bidder would win.
Shen Bi lowered his head even further. He remembered the sarcastic words Ni Yongjun had said to him before, and now that they had become a reality, his face turned even uglier.
...
When the news reached Victoria Peak
Lee Ka-shing smashed everything in the living room.
His long-planned scheme has failed.
Ni Yongjun, who wanted to seize 90 million shares of Hutchison Whampoa, knew him all too well.
He had already found out who drove up the price when acquiring Wharf Holdings.
It was Ni Yongjun, that bum, who inflated the price.
When he bought Wharf Holdings, he made a series of mistakes.
This has happened once or twice, and now they're trying to take over his Hutchison Whampoa.
"If this is tolerable, then what is intolerable?"
Thinking of this, Li Ka-shing threw off his black-rimmed glasses, picked up his phone, and called Thailand.
"General Patton, I want to buy the hidden card."
"What kind of way?"
"Long-range shooting."
After completing the transaction with General Patton, Lee Ka-shing put down his phone with a cold laugh and sat on the sofa in deep thought.
He wasn't thinking about Ni Yongjun right now, because what was there to think about a dead man?
His current thought is how to beat Ni Yongjun with a price and get the HSBC board's approval.
After thinking for a while, Li Jiacheng picked up his phone and called Shen Bi.
“Sham Bi, I have mortgaged Cheung Kong Holdings to HSBC for a loan of 700 million.”
"Then 1.3 billion bids were placed for 90 million Hutchison shares."
"Mr. Li, what courage you have."
"I agree to your collateral; the loan is 700 million."
"I hope you succeed in your bid."
When Shen Bi heard Li Jiacheng say this, he said with satisfaction.
Subsequently, Sir Michael Sandberg submitted Li Ka-shing's HK$1.3 billion offer to the HSBC board of directors.
The news of Li Ka-shing's offer also reached Ni Yongjun's ears.
"Fifteen yuan a share, this Cucumber Plum is insisting on raising the price."
"Zheng Yi is a complete idiot and a scoundrel."
Upon hearing this, Ni Yongjun immediately began to curse Li Jiacheng.
We're all Chinese, why be so confrontational?
He originally had over 2.8 billion, and spent over 1.7 billion to acquire Wharf Holdings from the Jardine Matheson Group.
So now they only have 1 billion in funds, which is 300 million less than Li Ka-shing's 1.3 billion offer.
Hmph, you want him to go to Shen Bi and beg Shen Bi for payment for the goods?
"I'll offer two billion for the shipping magnate."
"One billion in cash, and another one billion, to be paid within a year."
Ni Yongjun directly called the shipping magnate and gave him his quote.
Because he has a very strong cash flow, the 100 gaming arcades in Tsim Sha Tsui alone can generate more than 100 million in profit for him every month.
And that doesn't even include the 100 new gaming casinos that are going to open in Yau Ma Tei.
So comparing cash with him is like an ant tripping an elephant—it's suicidal.
"As expected of Ni Sheng."
When Bao, the shipping magnate, heard Ni Yongjun's offer of 2 billion, he immediately praised him.
He then submitted Ni Yongjun's 2 billion offer to the HSBC board of directors.
All HSBC directors received two offers.
They were all dumbfounded as they saw the increasingly outrageous offers.
Subsequently, they all happily sold 90 million shares of Hutchison to Ni Yongjun.
"Ah, ah, ah ah ah."
Li Jiacheng heard that HSBC sold 90 million shares of Hutchison to Ni Yongjun.
He was shaking with anger.
This time, he not only failed to acquire Hutchison, but also incurred debts for goods.
Keep in mind that he pays for the goods first and then quotes a price.
Moreover, this foreigner, Sim Bi, is very disciplined, so he requires payment before he can quote a price.
Unlike Ni Yongjun, he didn't have HSBC director Bao Chuanwang to vouch for him.
So this time, his attempt to steal a chicken backfired and he lost more than he gained.
Enraged, Li Jiacheng smashed the living room again, just like before. Still not satisfied, he went downstairs and smashed his custom-made BMW.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
After hearing the noise, Li Zeju ran over and asked.
"fine."
Li Jiacheng looked at his eldest son, waved his hand weakly, and then turned and walked back to the living room.
.....
The news that Ni Yongjun had become the Chinese chairman of Hutchison Whampoa immediately shocked the entire Hong Kong Island.
Keep in mind that this is a foreign firm worth six billion.
Who would have thought that a trading company of this size could be controlled by a Chinese chairman?
So, Ni Yongjun became famous instantly.
All the female celebrities are asking who Ni Yongjun is, how old he is, and whether he's married.
When they learned that Ni Yongjun was not even thirty years old, their eyes lit up.
Moreover, upon learning that Ni Yongjun was not yet married, they all inquired about the matchmaker who could help them get married.
They offered various benefits, promising a red envelope of 99,990 yuan as long as one could become friends with Ni Yongjun.
Not only Ni Yongjun, but even his younger brother Ni Yongxiao was targeted.
"Brother, if I go out now, matchmakers will be pulling me aside to arrange a marriage."
Ni Yongxiao drove back to the Ni family villa, and as soon as he saw Ni Yongjun, he began to complain to him.
"You're not young anymore, it's time for you to get married."
Ni Yongjun was drinking tea when he heard Ni Yongxiao complain. After thinking about it seriously, he said...
"Big brother, you're not married yet."
"I'm not in a hurry."
When Ni Yongxiao heard Ni Yongjun say the same thing about him, he felt that going home to hide was not the right choice.
"Cough cough."
When the little stutterer, who was taking Hai'er for a walk around the room, heard about Ni Yongjun's marital problems, she immediately coughed in an attempt to get Ni Yongjun's attention.
Ni Yongjun turned his head and glanced at the little stutterer, smiled and said nothing.
"Brother, how do you still have the money to acquire Hutchison Whampoa?"
"Didn't you use all the money to acquire Wharf Holdings?"
Upon hearing the stutterer's cough, Ni Yongxiao quickly changed the subject.
Because he doesn't know whether the relationship between the little stutterer and the older brother is that the younger brother is Hai'er's teacher or Hai'er's mother.
So it's best to talk less.
To avoid damaging the relationship between the older brother and the stutterer, and to allow them to develop normally.
"After acquiring Wharf Holdings, we still have one billion left."
"The other billion is a guarantee to the shipping magnate, to be paid off within a year."
When Ni Yongjun heard Ni Yongxiao mention it, he still spoke unhappily.
"It's all that cucumber plum's fault. He clearly didn't have any money, but he insisted on paying for the goods, harming both others and himself."
"How about we teach him a lesson, brother?"
Seeing that Ni Yongjun looked unhappy, Ni Yongxiao directly scolded Li Jiacheng and then made a suggestion.
It should be noted that the Ni family is a triad organization, and they are triad bosses who own properties in Tsim Sha Tsui and Yau Ma Tei.
Huang Gua Li actually dared to raise prices arbitrarily; he really doesn't know what's good for him.
If you don't teach this kind of person a lesson, they'll lose all sense of direction.
"Giving him a taste of his own medicine is a given."
"Wait until things calm down."
"Otherwise, people will say that the Ni family is behaving too badly."
