In October, Hong Kong Island is clear and cool.

However, internationally, it is not peaceful;

First, the Fourth Middle East War broke out in early October;

Then, another oil crisis broke out in mid-October.

At this time, oil is already priceless, because the Middle East cannot help but increase the price of oil per barrel from US$3 to US$10.6;

At the same time, because most Western countries support Israel, the Middle East oil-producing countries directly impose oil embargoes on developed Western countries;

I don’t sell it to you!

.....

Cheung Shi Building, top floor conference room.

Wu Guangyao, Morse, Rong Bensheng, Peter Lynch, Liu Yu and others are discussing the plan to acquire Hong Kong Electric Lighting Co., Ltd.

Public companies like China Gas, China Pakistan, and Hong Kong Electric Lighting cannot be delisted first, otherwise the government will cancel your franchise;

Since you cannot delist and have a long-term and stable income, it is better to put it in the family office.

Wu Guangyao said: "Hong Kong Electric Light is one of the top ten British listed companies in Hong Kong, but like Qingzhou Yingni, there is no real meaning of major shareholder family and has always been an independent public holding company. Therefore, this acquisition is not difficult, just follow the steps!"

At this time, with Wu Guangyao's status and financial resources, it is difficult for him to have a big acquisition case in Hong Kong;

This is what is called "eliminating the beacon fire between a glass of wine"!

Liu Yu nodded and said, "It's not difficult to acquire, but Hong Kong Electric Lights is undoubtedly a hen that lays golden eggs; electricity consumption is like people wanting to eat, and the rise and fall of the economy will not have much impact on the store; at the same time, with the popularity of household appliances, electricity consumption will become larger and larger. If we increase our shares from 20% to 49% at this time, then we will be equivalent to buying the largest hen that lays golden eggs at the lowest price."

Rong Bensheng also added: "Not only that! In 1970, Gangdeng built a fully computerized power plant in Ap Lei Chau, using fuel to generate electricity, and is expected to be put into use in the late 1970s; then the North Point power plant in use can be demolished and then a large house and hotel property construction is also a great profit!"

Since Rong Bensheng became Wu Guangyao's personal consultant, his vision has long since broken out of the jewelry industry, so he has some expertise in real estate.

Wu Guangyao was very pleased. What everyone said was what he thought!

Wu Guangyao added: "In fact, as a listed public company, we cannot privatize Hong Kong Lamp, but we can also use this kind of public company, which is very convenient! For example, these public companies have cheap land; I have visited the power plant in Ap Lei Chau, and the power generation capacity still cannot meet the increasing electricity consumption of the island and Ap Lei Chau. So after we acquire Hong Kong Lamp, we will find another new land and build a larger power plant; I already have an idea of ​​this place, that is Lamma Island; by then, the power plant land in Ap Lei Chau will naturally develop a beautiful large house with sea views."

"In general, although the profits of public companies will be restricted by the Hong Kong government, public companies can provide us with a great role in terms of land."

As far as Wu Guangyao knows, after the dismantling of the North Point Power Plant in his previous life, the residential city garden project and the city garden hotel were built;

After the Ap Lei Chau power plant was dismantled, it was converted into a residential Haiyi Peninsula;

These two projects are undoubtedly high-end residential buildings, which brought a lot of profits to Land and Chaoren Li.

After discussing the necessity of an acquisition, the next step is to discuss the specific acquisition strategy.

At this time, Peter Lynch didn't know much about Hong Kong's finance, so he did not express his opinion;

However, Peter Lynch's admiration for Wu Guangyao at this time has penetrated into his bones;

Isn’t this admirable thing to predict the oil crisis?

Morse has been with Wu Guangyao for so many years, so he is definitely a Hong Kong connection;

So, Morse took the lead and said: "My opinion is to increase the shares to 35%, and then slowly increase the shareholding ratio in the later stage; at the same time, the acquisition funds can choose to lend a part of the bank. Anyway, the profits of Hong Kong Lighting Company are stable, and the dividends can be used to repay the loan."

Wu Guangyao agreed with Morse's first opinion. After all, he knew that the Hong Kong stock market had not bottomed out and there was still a year of bear market.

As for the second opinion, Wu Guangyao was a little embarrassed;

At this time, I already had $3.7 billion in movable funds;

The deposit interest rate for banks around the world is only four cents, while in Hong Kong it is generally only three cents;

On the contrary, loan interest rates are as high as 12% to 15%.

Wu Guangyao originally planned to buy the bottom of this money from various countries;

For example, Japanese real estate, stock market, American stock market, industry...

Moreover, it is best to enter the bottom-up time, next year.

At this time, the market value of Hong Kong Lights has reached HK$4 billion at its peak, falling to HK$1.5 billion;

Wu Guangyao owns 15% of the shares and increases his holdings by 20%, which is expected to cost about HK$350 million;

For Wu Guangyao, who has a deposit of up to 20 billion yuan, it can only be considered a sprinkling of water.

"Boss, if we go to talk to HSBC, Chase and other banks, the interest rate is basically only 10% which is nothing compared to inflation! The important thing is that, as you said, after the oil crisis, it is my big opportunity, so we have to ensure that we have enough cash flow so that we can purchase globally. I think that every investment we have to take as much loans as possible."

Well, Wu Guangyao finally listened to Morse’s professional advice;

And comforted himself in his heart, in fact, his thoughts were not wrong, after all, he had too many cash cows;

Sufficient ammunition is available at any time!

Since the "Guangyao Family Office" already owns 15% of Hongdeng shares, it is not suitable for a quiet acquisition to avoid being criticized;

"We acquired 20% of Hongdeng shares from public shareholders on the acquisition conditions of 20% higher than the market price; at the same time, Rong Bensheng and I represented the 'Guangyao Family Office' and entered the board of directors of Hongdeng."

It is not an exaggeration to ask for two director positions at once;

If the management team of Hong Kong Ding is disobedient, Wu Guangyao would even directly replace them.

In Hong Kong, no executive dares to play tricks with Wu Guangyao!

Finally, everyone discussed how to distribute the oil in their hands, and everyone was inspired;

However, first of all, we must take care of the following Wu family's base camp - Hong Kong.

1973 was undoubtedly a special year in Hong Kong;

First of all, it was naturally the sharp plunge in the stock market, which caused investors to suffer heavy losses;

Just as the stock market is declining, oil, which has always been called the "blood of industry and commerce", has experienced a soaring oil price and even a shortage of oil due to the rapid change in the Middle East.

Not only Hong Kong, but the whole world is in an oil crisis.

As an energy import city that does not produce oil, Hong Kong naturally cannot survive this crisis after a few blows.

The oil in Wu Guangyao's hands has undoubtedly become a hot commodity!

Wu Guangyao said: "My opinion is that we not only need to use oil to make a lot of money, but also carry out a series of diplomacy! The United States, Britain and Japan are the main concentration places of my business, so I plan to take out 18 million tons of oil and go to three countries for sale. The remaining 2 million tons of oil are needed for the Hong Kong base camp!"

"The boss's arrangement is very reasonable, so I will go to various countries to sell it!" Morse stopped the job.

6 million tons of oil, for the UK, is a month's consumption;

For the United States, it may only be 10 days of consumption;

For Japan, it is almost 20 days of consumption;

But no matter what, the oil crisis has reached a certain level, the US President's planes have canceled escorts and the combat readiness oil has been taken out and used.

Therefore, 6 million tons of oil still have a great effect!

Hong Kong needs only 3.6 million tons of oil per year, so 2 million tons of oil can help Hong Kong overcome difficulties.

Of course, Wu Guangyao is not doing charity, and the price still needs to be based on the six major oil merchants.
Chapter completed!
