Hearing Lin Huowang's confident answer, Huo Yingdong was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then burst into an even more hearty and appreciative laugh: "Good! Very domineering! Mr. Lin has courage!
Then I'll see how you can make clouds and rain with just a flip of your hand!
When that 'silly boy' comes back tonight, I will 'enlighten' him and let him know which piece of meat our Huo family should have for dinner."
The hidden meaning in his words is that he has a plan on how to guide Peter Ho to intervene in the competition for Hutchison Whampoa.
"Thank you, Mr. Huo."
Lin Huowang nodded slightly and hung up the phone.
The study returned to peace, but the air was filled with the invisible smell of gunpowder.
Lin Huowang walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and overlooked the tranquil sea of Repulse Bay.
Beneath the blue sea, undercurrents of capital and power struggles are surging and gathering.
The phone rang again, it was an internal line.
Lin Huowang walked back to his desk and picked up the phone. "Boss, it's me, Gao Qiaohao."
Gao Qiaohao's voice came from the phone, sounding a little tired but extremely excited.
"explain."
“Just confirmed that the first batch of funds, 10 billion yen, has all been successfully shipped across the sea!
Through different channels, under the names of trade transactions, investment dividends, art sales, etc., the funds were remitted in thirteen installments into a total of seven offshore and local accounts we established in Bank of East Asia, HSBC and Standard Chartered.
The procedures are complete and clean.
The total value of the cash is over HK$203 million and can be used at any time!"
Gao Qiaohao spoke quickly and clearly reported this crucial progress.
Finally, a deeper smile appeared on Lin Huowang's face.
This is the starting capital and the lever to leverage the future real estate landscape of Hong Kong Island.
"Very good. The funds are in place, and we are ready to go."
He paused. "What about Japan? Does Keiko have anything to add?"
Gao Qiaohao's voice became even more excited: "President Keiko asked me to tell the boss that first of all, Dragon Jump is currently gaining momentum and has become a national phenomenon in Japan!
The publishing house's brand value and profitability have been highly recognized by major financial institutions!"
He emphasized, "President Keiko said that if there's a need for a larger-scale 'temporary operation,' she can leverage Dragon Jump's current stable weekly sales of six million copies and the subsequent copyright cash flow as collateral. She can jointly leverage a super-low-interest 'special project loan' totaling no less than 50 billion yen from core banking channels like Sanwa, Fuji, and Sumitomo! The procedures are already underway!"
Gao Qiaohao's voice was filled with excitement, as if he held the key to the vault. "With just a nod from you, boss, this 50 billion yen, or about 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, will be injected into our offshore fund pool in Tokyo within three to five working days!"
Absolutely low interest rate!
President Sato of Sanwa Bank even hinted that if necessary, the IP value of Dragon Jump could be increased by another 20%!
"Fifty billion?"
Lin Huowang tapped the rim of the coffee cup with his fingers. A barely perceptible sharpness flashed across his eyes, then turned into a confident smile.
He placed the cup back on the gold-painted bone china tray beside him, and it made a crisp "click" sound, clear and steady.
The sea breeze from the Repulse Bay outside the window seemed to have a hint of heat because of this amount of air.
“Keiko did a great job.
This emergency fund is our strategic reserve force. It is prepared but not used, and can make the difference at critical moments.
Please tell her to maintain good contact with the bank and ensure that this financing channel is always open."
"clear!"
Gao Qiaohao responded, quickly writing down the key points, and then his tone changed to a focus more in line with the current battle situation, “The second thing, boss.
According to your previous plan, the covert acquisition of the Hong Kong Land Group has begun to proceed steadily today."
Lin Huowang's lips curled up slightly. This was one of the core actions he was most concerned about at the moment:
"Oh? How's the progress? Did we alert the enemy?"
“The market reaction was calm as usual.
We used the funds we had secured earlier and operated through seven different management teams through shell company accounts located in Bank of East Asia, HSBC, Standard Chartered, and several British Virgin Islands banks.”
Gao Qiaohao spoke fluently, clearly well-versed in the process. "The first batch of purchases was very sporadic, with the single transaction amount kept below HK$200,000, and trading times spread throughout the day.
The current goal is clear: avoid leaving traces of large purchases in any trading unit, circumvent regulatory red lines, and absolutely do not let the old foxes at Jardine Matheson detect any whiff of a "hostile takeover."
He paused and added data: "As of today's market close, a total of 437,000 shares of Hong Kong Holdings were acquired throughout the day, accounting for less than 0.08% of the total share capital, and the capital expenditure was approximately HK$1.5 million.
Although the amount is small, the direction is very steady. If we continue at this pace, as you expect, with Hong Kong's current market capitalization of approximately HK$6 billion, we can quietly acquire the target 4% to 4.5% stake in the open market, worth approximately HK$240 million to HK$270 million. This is completely within our control and there is plenty of time."
"good."
Lin Huowang nodded with satisfaction.
This silent and subtle method is exactly what he needs.
“Remember, our goal is not to drive up stock prices in the short term, but to build a mountain of growth without us even noticing.
The 5% announcement line is the red line. Before that, you have to be a real shadow hunter.
Ensure that the stock holdings in each account are less than 5%, and the combined stock holdings of any traceable associated accounts must not exceed this red line.
