章節 1343: Chapter 1343: A Fruitful Harvest
"Chairman, this is the result of the report from below. The tasks you instructed have all been completed.'
'Also, the investigation report on the global petroleum and mining industries has been completed.'
As Fok Kin-ning walked into Xia Yu's office with a pile of materials, he was enjoying Li Qian's head massage.
Fok was used to this scene and pretended not to see it, looking straight at Xia Yu.
At first, when Fok reported his work, Li Xi would subconsciously walk away, but then Xia Yu told her that Fok was absolutely trustworthy and they would be meeting frequently, so she should just ignore him. Li Xi naturally got used to it.
'Okay, you can put it down for now, I'll call you later.'
'Okay.'
'Chairman, I'll go downstairs first.'
After placing the materials on the desk, Fok Kin-ning left the room again.
From entering to leaving, it took less than a minute, without any hesitation.
'Xi Xi, you have worked hard, you have been pressing for so long, you should sit down and rest,'
Xia Yu said gently, turning his head to grab Li Xi's soft hand.
Li Xi gave a sweet smile, 'I'm not tired, the tea has cooled down, I'll go and get you some hot tea.'
After saying this, Li Qian walked towards the tea table with light steps.
Xia Yu looked at her graceful back for a long time before withdrawing his gaze. After smiling, he cast his eyes over the materials submitted by Huo Jianning.
The first was about the actions of Wheelock Shipping Company, and some interesting content was also included.
The report stated that, after Wheelock Securities raised the price, Top Leader eventually spent 6.76 billion Hong Kong dollars to buy the 34.6% stake held by the Zhang Yuliang family.
Compared to the Zhang Yuliang family, the 21.1% stake of the Marden family was equivalent to about two-thirds of the Zhang Yuliang family's stake, but it was only sold for 1.95 billion Hong Kong dollars, which was only about a quarter of what the Zhang Yuliang family had received.
In this comparison, the Marden family lost a lot of money.
But there was nothing they could do about it, because the Marden family sold their shares when the market value of Wheelock Shipping had fallen to a low of more than 8 billion Hong Kong dollars!
When the Zhang family sold their shares, the stock price of Wheelock Shipping had soared because of the massive buying spree by Differ Securities in the stock market.
At the time of the Zhang Yuliang family's transfer of equity, the market value of Wheelock Shipping had soared to HK$16.27 billion, almost double the previous amount!
And the Zhang Yuliang family transferred the equity at a premium on top of that.
Zhang Yuliang definitely owes Xia Yu and Bao Yugang a huge favour.
As for John Madden, it's not pleasant to even think about it. Although it was his own choice, he will definitely think that he has suffered a loss.
However, for Top Leading, they definitely no longer care. They have killed the donkey after grinding its millstones. The equity held by Top Leading is already sufficient to control Wheelock Shipping Company.
However, for the two acquisitions, Top Leading took a total of 55.7% of Wheelock Shipping Company's equity, which cost a total of 8.71 billion Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 1.43 billion US dollars. The price was not insignificant!
Differ Securities, on the other hand, sold the stocks it had bought at a low price at a high price, making a total profit of 527 million Hong Kong dollars.
But that was not important.
What was important was that
Xia Yu's plan to secretly purchase the shares of five listed companies had been successfully completed.
United Dockyards, Hong Kong Property Trust, Lane Crawford Retail, Realty Development Corporation and Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Company each had 33.4% of their shares in the hands of Xia Yu, but they had not been consolidated, and Trail-Leader had no idea that a crisis was lurking.
However, a total of 3.38 billion Hong Kong dollars was spent on acquiring the shares of these companies.
After offsetting the profits made on Wheelock Shipping Company, Xia Yu's side actually only contributed 2.853 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Once he had obtained the shares, Xia Yu felt relieved.
When the time was right, he would naturally take action.
Next, Xia Yu looked at more important materials, mobilising the resources of the entire consortium, and it still took more than a month to put together the report – the Global Oilfield and Mineral Resources Distribution Report.
This report was done with great care, as could be seen from its thickness alone.
It was a full centimetre thick, almost a book, and after a brief glance, Xia Yu found that it was extremely condensed, basically just the basic data and information on which country had which mine or oilfield, when it was discovered, current production, ownership relationships, and so on.
The reason it is so thick is because this report does not just cover oil and steel, but includes almost all mineral resources and types of oil and gas resources.
If he wanted to read the whole report, even if Xia Yu devoted himself to it, he would not be able to finish it in less than five days, not to mention that he also had to recall and think about it based on the current situation.
The workload was very heavy.
So for the next half month, Xia Yu spent most of his time studying this 'Report', apart from spending some time relaxing with a lot of beautiful women.
So much so that he didn't even bother to pay attention to the rumours that the Jiuding Consortium had not won the Wheelock Consortium, and let others gossip.
Of course, this does not mean that Xia Yu didn't care.
In fact, the hunting plan for the Sydney Consortium in Australia was already in place.
It was just that the main executor was not the Jiuding Consortium.
While Xia Yu was holed up at home researching and plotting the actions of the king of global resources, things related to Xia Yu were constantly happening outside.
On November 2, Polaris Capital officially completed its acquisition of The Walt Disney Company for US$1.69 billion, acquiring 73.5% of the equity, including 13.4% from the British Bright Fund.
On November 5, the Hong Kong Chinese Medicine Canon was officially completed, and the Hong Kong Chinese Medicine Association submitted it to the Hong Kong government. Su Xingjian gave his approval, and the Legislative Council was asked to study it and discuss its feasibility.
On 6 November, the first round of the US presidential election ended with Ronald Reagan emerging victorious, winning 524 votes to 11, a record number of electoral votes from 49 states. He was set to be re-elected as US president the following month.
On 11 November, the results of the first stage of privatisation of British Telecom finally came out. 50.2% of the shares on offer were snapped up by the Bright Fund, HSBC Holdings and the Royal Bank of Scotland, each of which took a 5% stake and was awarded a seat on the board of directors. The price was 1.17 billion pounds.
November 15th was just another day.
But that night, Julian Robertson and Ray Dalio, the Wall Street twins, met in private.
The meeting took place in Ray Dalio's home, in the large living room, just the two of them.
'Julian, here is our initial plan, what's yours?'
Rey Dario asked as he handed Julian Robertson a preliminary action plan.
Julian Robertson gave a slight smile and also took out a document wrapped in kraft paper from his bag and exchanged it with Rey Dario: 'Here, let's take a look at each other's plans first, and then discuss how to cooperate later.'
Then the two men opened each other's action plans.
On the cover of the action plan, there was a word in bold: Australia!
