Shen Dong said without hesitation: "Although the New Territories Warehouse is not as big as the Wharf, the assets under it are better than those of the Wharf, and the annual profit is very considerable. As long as I get the New Territories Warehouse, I will immediately become an important figure in the Hong Kong business circle. For me, this is much more important than making money."
Zheng Tong nodded and said, "Mr. Shen, it seems that we all underestimated you."
Chapter 389 Negotiation with Zheng Tong
Just when the negotiations between the two reached a deadlock, a man in a suit and tie walked over.
Shen Dong looked up and saw that it was Zhuang Wenfa.
"Director Zhuang, long time no see."
Shen Dong immediately stood up and extended his hand to him.
At the beginning, Zhuang Wenfa helped Shen Dong get the approval for importing construction materials, which made Shen Dong owe him a big favor.
Zhuang Wenfa shook hands with him and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, your business is really getting bigger and bigger now."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Thank you for the compliment. I haven't congratulated you on your promotion to Director of the Department of Foreign Trade of Hong Kong Island yet."
Wilson left Hong Kong a week ago and returned home to report on his work.
After some bargaining, Zhuang Wenfa successfully took the position.
The Director of the Department of Foreign Trade, who is in his thirties, is definitely the youngest senior official in Hong Kong Island.
Zhuang Wenfa said: "Reaching a high position means taking on greater responsibilities. Just like you businessmen, the bigger your business, the greater the social responsibility you have to bear."
Shen Dong heard that Zhuang Wenfa seemed to be hinting at something, so he nodded and said, "Director Zhuang is right."
After Zhuang Wenfa sat down, Zheng Tong said calmly, "Ah Fa, Mr. Shen did not agree to sell the New Territory Warehouse shares to us."
Shen Dong's pupils suddenly shrank, and he said, "It seems that General Manager Zheng and Director Zhuang have an unusual relationship?"
Zhuang Wenfa said: "Mr. Zheng is my cousin."
Shen Dong said, "No wonder President Zheng calls you that. Director Zhuang, you won't force me to sell the New Territory Warehouse shares to your uncle, right?"
Zhuang Wenfa was silent for a moment, and then said, "Kowloon Warehouse and New Territories Warehouse are very important to the inland. The charter ship king has a good relationship with the inland, and has helped us a lot over the years. We hope that the New Territories Warehouse can also be in our own hands."
Shen Dong's face darkened and he said, "I have invested 3 billion US dollars in the inland area. Am I not considered one of us?"
Zhuang Wenfa said: "That's not what I meant."
Shen Dong looked at Zheng Tong and said, "One hundred and eighty Hong Kong dollars per share, I will buy all the shares of New Territory Warehouse in your hands. Mr. Zheng, what do you think?"
Zheng Tongdao: "I am also willing to pay 180 Hong Kong dollars to buy all the shares of New Territories Warehouse in your hands."
Shen Dong laughed loudly and said, "Then we can only rely on our own means."
Zhuang Wenfa frowned and said, "Mr. Shen, we are all from Hong Kong Island. There is no need to kill each other and let the Eagle Sauce people take advantage."
Shen Dong said: "Director Zhuang, the New Territory Warehouse is very important to me. I will not give up no matter what. As for the Eagle Sauce people, I will deal with them. President Zheng, I hope you can consider the price I offer. Otherwise, when I control the New Territory Warehouse, the stocks in your hands may be worthless."
Seeing Shen Dong's confident face, Zheng Tong felt a little uneasy and said coldly: "It's not certain who can control the New Territory Warehouse."
After saying that, Zheng Tong stood up and left.
Shen Dong said: "Director Zhuang, I'm sorry, this matter involves billions of dollars of business, and it is even more important to my influence in the Hong Kong business circle, so I really can't give in."
Zhuang Wen laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. I always thought it might be better in your hands than in my cousin's hands."
Shen Dong asked: "Why?"
Zhuang Wenfa spat out three words and said, "Sense of identity."
Shen Dong immediately understood what he meant.
In terms of identification with the inland, the four major families are far inferior to Shen Dong.
Because Shen Dong came from the previous life, he has always been proud of being a descendant of Yan and Huang.
The four major families have accepted the culture of the United States, and no one can say whether they are sincere to the inland.
Shen Dong nodded and said, "Thank you for trusting me so much. I will go to Yandu to take a look after a while."
Zhuang Wenfa said, "I heard that you made a lot of money in the gold futures market in the Lighthouse Country. Now the inland area is in urgent need of foreign exchange. Have you ever thought about investing there?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Of course. I am very optimistic about the future development of the inland area. I am going to bring several billion US dollars to buy some real estate in major first- and second-tier cities. On the one hand, I can make money, and on the other hand, I can help the inland area develop its economy. It's a two-pronged approach. What do you think?"
Zhuang Wenfa's eyes lit up and he said, "That couldn't be better."
Shen Dong said: "Director Zhuang, are you becoming less and less cautious now?"
Zhuang Wenfa said: "After I took the position of Director of the Foreign Trade Department, everyone already knew that I was from that side, so I don't need to worry about anything now."
Shen Dong said: "If there is anything that needs my help in my hometown, just come to me and I will do my best. In my heart, the inland is my root."
Zhuang Wenfa looked at Shen Dong deeply and said, "What the inland needs is economic development. As long as you are willing to invest in the inland, that will be the greatest support for us."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "I understand."
After chatting with Zhuang Wenfa about the situation in the inland for a while, Shen Dong left.
On the way back, Shen Dong received a call from Song Zihao.
"Brother Dong, Mr. Al from Yixin Group wants to meet with you."
"The Yixin Group can't hold on any longer?"
"That's right. I heard that the Yixin Group has reached a point where its income is not enough to cover its expenses. I guess Al wants to sell the New Territory warehouse for a good price."
The Yi Xin Group is a business consortium composed of four business families from the United States. After experiencing the stock market crash, they suffered heavy losses.
Domestic prices in the United States have skyrocketed, and the prices of raw materials have skyrocketed, causing their profits to be greatly reduced.
Shen Dong now owns 25% of New Territories Warehouse's shares, which is less than 5% of Yi Xin Group.
If Shen Dong cooperates with Li Chaoren and others, the two of them will be able to undermine the Yi Xin Group and seize control of the New Territories Warehouse.
By then, the Yi Xin Group would be completely finished.
Since it's already going to be ruined, it might as well be sold at a good price.
Half an hour later, Shen Dong met Al in a restaurant.
Al is a white man in his fifties with deep eyes, elegant temperament, and very good looks.
The two of them exchanged a few polite words, and Shen Dong went straight to the point.
"Mr. Al, after this short period of self-purchase, Yixin Group now owns 26% of the shares. Are you planning to sell them all?"
Al nodded and said, "You local wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong have already occupied nearly 50% of the shares. If you don't sell it, we will suffer a great loss."
Shen Dong asked curiously: "Why don't you go to Li Chaoren and the others, but come to me?"
Al said, "I've looked for it, but they can't afford it."
"puff"
Shen Dong couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is a very powerful reason. I want to know what kind of sky-high price you set that made them unable to afford it?"
Al looked at Shen Dong with burning eyes and said, "The share price of New Territory Warehouse has skyrocketed to nearly 7 billion US dollars. The price we offered is 26% of the equity for 2 billion US dollars."
Shen Dong's face changed, and he frowned and said, "Do you think it's possible?"
El said: "Of course it is possible. We know very well how important the New Territories warehouse is to Hong Kong's foreign trade. No businessman with foresight would give up the New Territories warehouse."
Chapter 390 Seize the opportunity
Shen Dong said, "The share price of New Territory Warehouse has skyrocketed to 7 billion U.S. dollars because of the fight between the three of us. When the dust settles, the share price will inevitably plummet back to its original market value. I am not a money-spending boy, and it is impossible for me to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy it. Mr. Al, I will pay a maximum of 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. This is my bottom line."
Al frowned and said, "Mr. Shen, if the New Territory Warehouse falls into the hands of Li Chaoren and his people, I'm afraid you will lose even more of your stocks."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "As long as I buy another 5% of the shares, I can push the equity to 30%. By then, any action of New Territory Warehouse will not be hidden from me. Besides, are the four major families really united? Don't joke. Hong Kong Island is just a tiny place, and the competition between them is much greater than cooperation. I only need to cooperate with Zheng Tong to control New Territory Warehouse, and there is no need to spend so much money."
Al stood up and said, "In that case, let's talk about this."
Shen Dong said, "Mr. Al, I will give you two days to think carefully about my 1.5 billion US dollars. If Li Chaoren and his people see that things are not going well and take the initiative to sell their shares to me, then the stocks in your hands will probably be worthless."
Al's heart sank, and he said, "I can sell the stocks to Li Chaoren and the others."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "Of course. But whether they can come up with 1.5 billion US dollars is hard to say."
Al looked at the shrewd and wise young man in front of him, sighed, sat back in his chair, and said, "Mr. Shen, you win."
Shen Dong said, "Wrong, you won. I just met with Zheng Tong, and they are almost unable to hold on. Haha, I have to say that Mr. Cruz from Hang Seng Bank is quite capable. Although he was trapped, he also prevented Li Chaoren and others from taking much advantage. Now it depends on who will sell to me first. The one who sells first will definitely make a lot of money. The one who sells later will probably lose everything."
Al said, "I don't know whether what Mr. Shen said is true or not, but the price of 1.5 billion US dollars is indeed very good."
Shen Dong suppressed his ecstasy and said, "Mr. Al, you mean we can sign the contract, right?"
Al said: “Okay.”
Half an hour later, Shen Dong and Al signed a share transfer agreement.
Shen Dong successfully purchased 26% of the New Territory Warehouse shares of the Yi Xin Group for US$1.5 billion.
In this way, Shen Dong successfully took control of the New Territories Warehouse with an absolute stake of 51%.
A villa in Tsim Sha Tsui
"boom"
Li Zhaoshan slammed the table hard and said sternly, "That bastard Shen Dong actually spent 1.5 billion US dollars to buy the shares of Yixin Consortium. This is simply outrageous."
Zheng Tong sighed and said, "It's true that heroes emerge from youth. Mr. Li, we lost."
Li Zhaoshan said angrily: "I will never let him go."
Guo Shengli said: "Now that Shen Dong has taken control of New Territory Warehouse, we need to discuss what to do? Should we sell the New Territory Warehouse shares in our hands?"
Li Chaoren shook his head and said, "Shen Dong probably won't pay a high price to buy the stocks we have."
Speaking of this, Li Chaoren felt a little angry.
His intention was to offer US$1.5 billion to buy the shares of Yi Xin Group, but this was strongly opposed by Li Zhaoshan, Zheng Tong and Guo Shengli.
The price they offered was 1.3 billion US dollars.
When Al heard this, he left without looking back.
Now that Shen Dong has spent 1.5 billion US dollars to take control of New Territories Warehouse, the next step will definitely be to cause the stock price of New Territories Warehouse to plummet.
Because for Shen Dong at this moment, the lower the stock price is, the more beneficial it is for him to buy stocks.
Zheng Tongdao: "We no longer have any bargaining chips to negotiate with Shen Dong. If it really doesn't work, then we'll just keep holding on to it."
Guo Shengli said without hesitation: "No. Half of my funds are already locked up in Hang Seng Bank. If the other half is locked up in the New Territories warehouse, it will have a very adverse impact on the development of my company."
Li Chaoren said calmly: "I will go to Shen Dong to have a good talk. As long as the price is right, we will sell it to him. What do you think?"
Guo Shengli asked: "How much is a reasonable price?"
Li Chaoren pondered for a moment and said, "1.2 billion US dollars."
Li Zhaoshan, Guo Shengli and Zheng Tong all nodded.
......
That afternoon, some unfavorable information about the New Territories warehouse began to spread in major media newspapers.
This was all done deliberately by Shen Dong, with the intention of causing the share price of New Territories Warehouse to plummet after the stock market opens.
Anyway, he is not planning to sell New Territories Warehouse's shares, and there are basically no circulating shares on the market, so even if New Territories Warehouse's stock price drops to the issue price or even delists, Shen Dong will not care.
But for other shareholders of New Territories Warehouse, it was a disaster.
They also hope to sell the New Territories warehouse at a good price.
If the stock price drops, then there’s nothing to do.
As a result, Shen Dong received calls from more than a dozen shareholders in one night, including Cruise from Hang Seng Bank.
Their goal was to sell out quickly while the New Territories warehouse’s stock price was at its highest point.
But the situation has changed now. Shen Dong no longer needs their shares. It is a dream to want to get a high price from him.
The Hong Kong stock market opened on Monday.
Without any suspense, the stock price of New Territories Warehouse plummeted like a waterfall.
In just one hour, the stock price dropped by 20 percent.
Retail investors fled.
