Chapter 58 Target Hutchison Whampoa!
Yang Ming did not want to change the management structure of Wharf Holdings. He just did not have any senior talents suitable for this purpose.
Even the position of Wharf Holdings' general manager could only remain vacant.
As for him, he was mainly responsible for the affairs of the Empire Group.
Yang Ming knew that he had swallowed up Wharf Holdings.
Now, in addition to changing Jardine Matheson Holdings, which made Jardine Matheson Holdings seem to have lost an important arm, he had swallowed up Wharf Holdings earlier than the Bao family in history.
In this way, the Bao family suffered the greatest loss.
In addition to the surge in the strength of Yang Ming and the Empire Group, it meant that the Bao family would have difficulty in making achievements in the future.
When the Wharf Holdings executives in the conference room heard that their positions would not change, many executives were happy.
If Yang Ming had not been here, they would have laughed.
For the Wharf Holdings executives, they were most worried that their positions would be affected after the change of major shareholders.
Since Mr. Yang did not make any changes, there would be no loss for them.
It was also normal for Yang Ming to send Tang Shilian and her subordinates to Wharf Holdings to check the accounts.
Wharf Group is still a listed company. Yang Ming and Empire Group have already occupied half of the shares. It is unreasonable to say that Wharf Group is not owned by the Yang family.
Yang Ming held a simple meeting.
Led by Wharf Group’s executives, he began to visit various departments of Wharf Group’s headquarters and expressed his condolences to the staff representatives of each department.
To appease the people of Wharf Group.
To stabilize Wharf Group and prevent chaos.
Wharf Group is not just a group.
It is also a large-scale foreign company with many subsidiaries.
It involves real estate companies, terminal companies, warehouse companies, hotels, tram companies, Star Ferry and other subsidiaries.
In particular, its port terminals are spread all over Hong Kong.
In addition, the prime locations in Tsim Sha Tsui now basically belong to Harbour City.
Harbour City is also the most important real estate and property group under Wharf Group, and its annual rental income in the future will be tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.
Yang Ming knew that although the acquisition of Wharf Group cost more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, it was worth it in his opinion.
In the future, the returns from real estate alone like Wharf Group will not be low.
Yang Ming did not stay in the Wharf Building for too long.
When lunch came at noon.
Yang Ming had lunch with many executives in the restaurant of the Wharf Building, and then left the Wharf Building to return to the Empire Group.
When Yang Ming came out of the Wharf Building in a wheelchair.
The Wharf executives behind him escorted him to the door.
At this time, many reporters who were ambushing outside took their "long guns and short cannons" to take pictures and interview Yang Ming.
Yang Ming ignored them.
He got in the car, left here in a Rolls-Royce, and went back to the Empire Group.
. . .
Just returned to the Federal Building of the Empire Group.
Many reporters gathered around again.
They just wanted to take pictures of Yang Ming's real appearance and wanted to interview him.
In the 1970s, Chinese capital in Hong Kong had risen.
As the first chairman of the Empire Group to acquire an important British foreign company in Hong Kong, Yang Ming still had a great influence on Hong Kong.
Yang Ming was not interested in the interviews of those reporters.
From beginning to end, he did not say a word in front of those reporters.
When Yang Ming went up to Empire Group in a wheelchair again.
At this time, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.
Today, the four major exchanges in Hong Kong were all affected by the unusual movement of Wharf shares. In addition, because of the joint purchase press conference of Huifeng Securities and Empire Group last night, Wharf shares were suspended today.
However, it was precisely because of that.
Many retail investors in Wharf knew that if Wharf shares opened again tomorrow, Wharf shares would definitely plummet, and it was even possible to return to 10 yuan per share.
After Yang Ming and Empire Group acquired Wharf, Wharf was already controlled by Yang Ming, which meant that it was basically impossible for this stock to be hyped up to such a high share price.
So many retail investors were still making trouble at Huifeng Securities at this time, and some even called the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to complain about the behavior of Huifeng Securities and Empire Group.
When Yang Ming returned to Empire Group, when he heard about this, he had already guessed that it would be like that.
For a long time, it was basically the big investors who ate meat, the small investors who drank soup, and the vast majority of ordinary investors could only drink northwest wind.
In the past few days, the share price of Wharf Holdings has soared to 80 yuan per share, and those greedy retail investors are still unwilling to sell, which means that this day has come.
If the Wharf Holdings stock market resumes trading tomorrow, I am afraid that it will be difficult for these retail investors of Wharf Holdings to sell at 20 yuan per share.
In the absence of any hype value, the stock price will definitely fall back soon.
Yang Ming will not care about those things.
He has been in the office of the chairman of the Empire Group.
. . .
When the Hong Kong media and newspapers published the evening paper, they began to officially publish photos of Yang Ming, chairman of the Empire Group.
When many reporters saw Mr. Yang for the first time, in addition to thinking that Mr. Yang was young.
What made them feel sorry was that he was actually in a wheelchair.
What does this mean?
In the eyes of these people, Yang Ming must be disabled, otherwise how could he appear in public in a wheelchair all the time?
So many street gossips have published many unpleasant reports about Yang Ming sitting in a wheelchair, which are nothing more than ordinary people's envy and jealousy of rich people.
Yang Ming didn't know that.
However, he already knew that even if he wanted to be low-key, he couldn't be low-key today when he officially swallowed up Wharf.
Besides, the paparazzi in Hong Kong are still very powerful.
He is not those stars, but his influence at this time is no less than any star.
16:00 in the afternoon.
Hong Kong stock market trading ended.
Yang Ming asked Lin Xiuzhi to call Jason's five subordinates.
"Boss."
After the five people came in.
"You did a good job in the sniper battle to acquire Wharf this time. Starting next month, your salary will double."
These people didn't expect that their salary would double so easily, and they were naturally very excited.
"Thank you, boss."
. . .
"How many shares of Hutchison International are we acquiring now?"
Yang Ming has been paying attention to the share price of Hutchison International.
When the share price of Wharf Holdings began to soar, the share price of Hutchison International has been fluctuating around 12 or 13 Hong Kong dollars. In other words, there are not many investors speculating on Wharf Holdings' shares, and the share price has not fluctuated much.
At the beginning, the share price of Hutchison International has been fluctuating around 9 Hong Kong dollars per share. Now, 12 or 13 Hong Kong dollars is not considered a lot.
Hutchison International has issued more than 200 million shares.
In 1975, Huifeng Bank had already obtained 90 million shares of Hutchison International, which means 33.65% of Hutchison International's shares, making it the largest shareholder of Hutchison International.
Last year, under the auspices of Wery, Hutchison International and its important subsidiary Whampoa Dock merged to form Hutchison Whampoa. Even so, Huifeng Bank's 90 million shares still accounted for 22.4% of Hutchison Whampoa's issued shares, and it is still the largest shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa.
From the beginning, Yang Ming had set his sights on Wharf Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa.
Now that Wharf Holdings has been swallowed up, the next one is Hutchison Whampoa.
