Chapter 249

The day Lin Wei returned to Xiangjiang happened to be the weekend, so apart from the big news in the newspapers, it didn't have a particularly big impact.

But when the market opened on Monday, the rising stock market gave the Hong Kong government a deep sigh of relief.

Looking at it this way, the experts in the newspaper are not talking nonsense. Lin Wei can indeed play the role of Dinghai Shenzhen.

Especially after the news of Lin Wei's acquisition of Fu Sheng was announced, the market was delighted.

The acquisition itself represents a bullish trend. Lin, the richest man, thinks that Xiangjiang has a future, so he acquired Fusheng. People who are superstitious about Lin Wei think that Xiangjiang will probably be fine and can survive this crisis.

Some people have even started to buy the bottom, but they are a minority. After all, there are not many people with money at this time.

After the news of Lin Wei's return spread, people came to visit in an endless stream.

After meeting a few friends, she closed the door and thanked them.

Stepping on the rocky steps, Lin Wei stopped in front of a tomb and placed elegant lilies in front of the tomb.

On a scorching summer day, a breeze blew, and the shadows of the trees in the cemetery were gently swaying. It was a leisurely atmosphere. The descendants of Mr. He found a perfect resting place for the old man,

"Actually, I should have come to see you a long time ago. "Lin Wei looked at the photo of Mr. He on the tombstone, "I have thought of many ways to take revenge over the years, but I found it difficult. Neither Fu Wenfan nor Fu Sheng was easy to deal with."

Lin Wei stopped and her eyes became very serious. Qing: "I looked through my diary again recently, and I found out that you helped me when I was in trouble in my previous life. I guess you were thinking that you might be the descendant of Lin Heying at that time. It was really disappointing, so you I will never show up..."

She squatted down and gently wiped the dust on the tombstone: "I used to think that I had a very hard life in my last life, but now I realize that I have always been lucky. You have helped me in two lives. , but I can't give you a good ending, and I have to wait for so many years for revenge. "

If there is any regret in this life, it should be this.

The breeze blew through my ears, and a noisy sound came from a distance.

Lin Wei took a gentle breath, then stood up again and looked in the direction of the sound.

Mrs. Eaton was blocked by her bodyguard and stopped when she saw Lin Wei.

Lin Wei asked the bodyguard to let Mrs. Eaton pass.

Mrs. Eaton walked towards her holding up her skirt. Most of the time, she liked to wear this kind of complicated palace dress. It was noble and elegant, but it was very inconvenient to move.

Seeing the tombstone in front of Lin Wei, Mrs. Eaton's expression changed.

"This is why you have always been afraid of me. You are deliberately trying to deal with me," Lin Wei's voice sounded, "There is a life between you and me, and you know very well that I will not let you go."

Mrs. Eaton's expression She changed, breathed slowly, and said, "I didn't kill the person, it was Fu Wenfan, and I didn't encourage him to kill." She knew that Lin Wei would not do anything good by looking for her, but she had no choice but to come, Fu Wenfan Sheng has been pushed to the limit.

"They are all the same," Lin Wei said softly, "It's hard for you to say who is worse. I don't want to calculate which of you played a greater role in forcing Mr. He to death, so what I have to do is take away Just the most important thing to you."

"What do you want..." Mrs. Eaton took a deep breath, "What do you do to let me go?"

Lin Wei said nothing and kept looking at He Xin's photo on the tombstone. .

Mrs. Eaton closed her eyes, and the next second, she knelt down straight towards He Xin's tombstone, her long skirt touching the ground. This was something she had never allowed before.

"It's too late to regret it now. If I had a choice, I really wish I hadn't done this. Lin... I don't want to be your enemy at all, but one wrong step, one wrong step after another, it's reality that pushes me forward. , I have thought about how to make up for it, but I always have a sense of luck in my heart. You have won so much, so can you let me go this time? You can make other conditions, and I can accept anything."

She knelt down. In front of the tombstone, the words were addressed to Lin Wei.

Lin Wei sighed: "Shouldn't you repent to the deceased? A human life, how can you let it go so lightly? A long time ago, I discovered that you people don't take human life seriously at all."

Mrs. Eaton quickly explained: "I'm not, I really..."

"You are used to being a superior person, and you don't have the words "reverence for life" in your heart. People are classified by you as valuable and worthless. However, I'm quite surprised that you were able to save Freeman. This is the only bit of popularity I see in you."

This bit of popularity helped her get out of a certain death situation.

She should indeed be grateful.

After hearing this, Mrs. Eaton turned to grab Lin Wei, knelt in front of her and said: "I beg you to let me go. There is a saying in China that it is better to dissolve enemies than to marry them. Even if we are not friends, we should not be enemies. We are completely We can join forces and explore overseas together..."

"You think of me too soft-hearted," Lin Wei said with a smile before she finished speaking, "You sent me to prison twice, you know that every time I What are you thinking about? Do you know the feeling of having no choice but to wait passively for death

? I can make it up to you, as long as you let me go this time."

Lin Wei slowly lowered her head and raised her hand to pry off the fingers that were holding her clothes: "Then I should be grateful. It's because I have a lot of luck, otherwise I would be like Mr. He now, turning into a handful of clay. Do you think I'm easy to trick?"

Mrs. Eaton was thrown away by Lin Wei, holding her hands on the bluestone steps. He went up, took a deep breath, and after a while, he looked up at Lin Wei again: "Then what do you mean by asking me to come here today?"

"What do you think?" Lin Wei smiled a little coldly, "Of course I do. Look at you begging for mercy!"

Mrs. Eaton looked directly at Lin Wei, her thin lips pursed, and the veins on her fingers were faintly visible.

She stood up slowly, supported her body, and carefully patted the dust off her skirt. Then she looked at Lin Wei and smiled. All the negative emotions disappeared, and she became the elegant and calm woman she usually was. : "That's a pity, but it's not that easy for you to win against me. I swear this is your last chance. Once Fu Sheng gets through this crisis, you will never have a chance to defeat me again!"

Lin Wei said calmly: " Then I'll wait and see."

Mrs. Eaton left. Her back was straighter than before, as elegant as ever, and her eyes were still contemptuous of all nobility.

Three days later, Mrs. Eaton announced the establishment of Sanfu Company. She personally held 20% of Fusheng's shares, and the other two partners held 7% and 10% respectively. Sanfu Company held 37% of Fusheng's shares, surpassing Lin Wei's microcosm. Industrial, becoming the largest shareholder of Fusheng.

For a time, Fu Sheng's control became confusing again, but many people in the newspaper were very optimistic about Lin Wei. After all, she rarely failed to win.

It's just that this time she is challenging the No. 1 foreign bank, a foreign bank with a history of more than a hundred years and a profound influence on Hong Kong. It is not that easy for Lin Wei to win Fu Sheng this time.

Some experts analyzed that the fact that Mrs. Eaton played the Three Blessings card in such a short period of time shows that she had been guarding against Lin Wei a long time ago, as well as the Drayton family. They had held shares in Fusheng as early as a hundred years ago and wanted to It is almost impossible for them to sell their shares.

Furthermore, when the market heard that Lin Wei had acquired Fusheng, the stock price immediately went up. Now no one wants to sell the Fusheng shares in their hands. If you want to buy them, you have to pay a high price.

Fusheng's current total share capital has reached 1 billion shares. Fusheng's latest transaction price is now 80 yuan. Lin Wei needs at least 30 billion in funds to gain absolute control. After all, the stock price will continue to rise in this process.

This is the reason why people rarely take hostile takeovers. They all issue acquisition applications and negotiate amicably between the two parties. Lin Wei’s only two attempts were against Fusheng. The first time was Kowloon Aviation, and the second time was Fusheng Group. .

Not counting the previous efforts, is it worth spending 30 billion to buy a Fusheng?

Will it drag Lin Wei into the quagmire?

Even if money is not an issue, whether you can buy it or not is an issue. Fusheng's shares are mainly scattered among various consortiums and family businesses. Mrs. Eaton relied on her status as a senior executive, private placement and equity incentives to increase her shareholding ratio to 20%. At first, Mrs. Eaton wanted to combine the equity and The separation of management rights turned out to be unsuccessful, as shareholders disagreed.

The larger the company, the more dispersed its stocks are. Even if Lin Wei is superstitious, she cannot ignore the reality.

A week after Mrs. Eaton announced the news, Micro Industrial announced that it had purchased the shares of Fusheng's two major shareholders. The shareholding ratio increased to 35%, and the gap with Mrs. Eaton instantly narrowed to 2%.

Someone actually sold it to Lin Wei.

"She has already made up her mind. In the name of the venture capital company, she helped Kemble and the two get a 200% return. If they want to continue to cooperate with Lin Wei in the future, they need to sell their shares of Fu Sheng to After all, she has nothing to lose and can make a lot of money. They really have no reason to refuse."

Mrs. Eaton closed her eyes and continued: "I don't know what else she can do. She must do the worst. I plan to increase the shareholding ratio to 50%, so that I don’t have to worry about anything she does."

Mike sat firmly on the sofa and looked at her: "So what are you going to do?"

"I have already convinced you. The owner of the Drayton family can transfer about 10% of his shares to me, and I can buy them back at a low price in the future. In this way, my shareholding ratio will reach 47%. With the gains from the secondary market, I You can increase the shareholding ratio to 50%, and no matter how hard Lin Wei tries, it will be useless."

Mike nodded and said, "This is indeed good news."

"But..." Mrs. Eaton took a breath and said. , "I need money. It will cost at least 10 billion to buy the Drayton family's shares. You know, in the current situation, it is impossible for anyone except an outlier like Lin Wei to come up with so much money. I need your help. If Lin Wei eats Fu Sheng, it will do no good to you or me. She will turn around and deal with you. You have to help me."

Mike tapped the edge of the sofa lightly with his fingers: "You. Do you know how much money 10 billion is? If I give it to you, HSBC's cash flow will be tight."

Mrs. Eaton retorted: "You don't have to lie to me. This time the Hong Kong dollar plummeted, you bought US dollars aggressively and used hedge funds. You are also responsible for the collapse of the stock market and property market by shorting the Hong Kong economy. How could HSBC have no money? You will not make less than Lin Wei. "

Although you don't make much money by shorting, HSBC can mobilize so much money. " , I must have made a lot of money this time.

Mike didn't speak, his eyelids were half-closed and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Mrs. Eaton couldn't let him remain silent and continued: "Many people don't know that you are betting against Hong Kong's economy. If they knew, what do you think the Hong Kong government would think of you?"

Mike looked up at her, his face becoming gloomy.

"We should be teammates on the same front," Mrs. Eaton said, softening her voice. "It will not do you any good if Fusheng turns to Lin Wei. There should be no gap between us. I can definitely pay back the money. I can use it." The stocks are used as collateral."

Mike's lips curled up slightly, and he said slowly: "What you said does make some sense, but you should know the principles of my work. HSBC cannot do loss-making business. I must consider one issue, your opponent. It's Lin Wei. You can't treat her like an ordinary person. Once you lose in this game, I will suffer heavy losses."

"I used stocks..."

Mike interrupted her: "No one knew about Fu Sheng at that time. What is the stock price? My rights cannot be guaranteed."

Mrs. Eaton sighed softly and said, "What do you mean?"

Mike's eyes were calm, with a slight smile on his face: "You can use Fu Sheng. If you win, it goes without saying that if you lose, then Lin Wei, who takes over Fu Sheng, will pay back the money, so I don't have to worry about not paying it back."

Mrs. Eaton was stunned . Stunned, he said: "But... this is against the rules. The money is going to Sanfu Company. If someone finds out, then I may be..."

"What are you afraid of? You are Fu Sheng's boss. If you win , you naturally have a way to avoid being held accountable, just fill this hole. If you lose..." Mike looked at her and said slowly, "Do you think you will lose? Are you sure you can win against Lin Wei? ?"

Mrs. Eaton fell silent. She didn't think she would lose. As long as she got the Drayton family's shares, she would be victorious with 50% of the shares, but now it was equivalent to giving Mike a handle.

She signed a loan contract with HSBC in the name of Fu Sheng, but the money was misappropriated to Sanfu Company. HSBC can sue her. This is illegal misappropriation of funds.

But now if she can't get the 10 billion, Fu Sheng will change hands. She can only give it a try. It's better to be controlled by Mike than to lose to Lin Wei.

...

The vigorous Fusheng acquisition war lasted for nearly a month.

On August 12, a large number of reporters gathered at Fu Sheng Building in Central.

16 years ago, a familiar scene also happened in the Kowloon Building. It was Lin Wei's first foreign investment, and finally successfully acquired the Kowloon Aviation Industry.

From this timeline alone, we can see that the feud between the two sides is very deep, and that after so many years of entanglement, there is finally a resolution.

This time, everyone is waiting to see if Lin Wei can create a miracle again.

Yes, it's a miracle.

Lin Wei wore sunglasses and a coat today. She covered herself tightly in the hot summer. Compared with the acquisition of Kowloon Aviation more than ten years ago, she was surrounded by twice as many people, including a team of lawyers, assistants and bodyguards.

"There is news that Mrs. Eaton has obtained half of the shares. What do you think of this?" The reporters all gathered around.

"If the news is true, does that mean your acquisition failed?"

Lin Wei looked at the skyscraper in front of her, took a deep breath, but said nothing, and stepped up the steps with the help of bodyguards.

Fusheng's people had already been waiting for them.

Fusheng's conference room is much larger than that of Kowloon, with spacious space and luxurious design.

Over the past ten years, the stock market in Hong Kong seems to have changed a lot, but in fact it is still the same. The four exchanges have not merged, the Stock Exchange has not been established, paper stocks are still used, and electronic computers have not been introduced.

Therefore, today it is still necessary to have dedicated personnel count and count stocks, as was done sixteen years ago.

Lin Wei sat down opposite Mrs. Eaton.

The assistants and lawyers sat down on both sides of her and placed all office supplies such as calculators and notebooks on the table.

Compared to Lin Wei's massive battle, Mrs. Eaton's side was lightly packed, with only seven or eight senior executives sitting opposite.

Mrs. Eaton had a smile on her face, and Lin Wei, who was not friendly towards the visitor, looked friendly: "If Ms. Lin is ready, then let's get started."

Lin Wei nodded and said: "Please."

This time it was first Starting from Lin Wei, more than 20 professionals came to the exchange and hundreds of millions of shares were issued. If many large amounts of shares had not been issued later, the number of shares would have been spectacular.

This is a very long process.

Lin Wei was bored and drawing on the paper with a pen. From time to time she would raise her head and look around, and occasionally stare at Mrs. Eaton.

About forty minutes later.

"Statistical results show that Micro Industries has 479.4 million shares, with a shareholding ratio of 47.94%."

Upon hearing Lin Wei's shareholding number, Mrs. Eaton breathed a sigh of relief. There were no surprises. As she expected, This is already the maximum number of shares that the other party can obtain.

After Lin Wei finished counting and confirmed that everything was correct, she changed to Mrs. Eaton.

Time passed little by little. Lin Wei didn't know when she stopped and stopped painting. She looked towards the end of the long table. The staff of the exchange were about to finish counting.

Everyone's hearts were also raised.

Success or failure lies in this last moment.

The final owner of the century-old business is about to appear.

"Statistical results show that Sanfu Company has 506.6 million shares, with a shareholding ratio of 50.66%."

As soon as the statistical results came out, Mrs. Eaton breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone also showed happy expressions, and some secretly clenched their fists in excitement. , someone happily clapped their hands to celebrate the victory.

When the dust settled, they won this time.

"Does anyone have any objection to this result?" the staff member asked.

Everyone looked towards Lin Wei opposite.

Lin Wei suddenly put down her pen.

Just such an action made Mrs. Eaton's heart skip a beat. She had an ominous premonition. She couldn't forget that Lin Wei was like this more than ten years ago when she asked Kuman while holding sunglasses.

Could it be that she still has a Cuman today?

But she was already halfway through, and Lin Wei couldn't make a comeback no matter what.

"What objection does Ms. Lin have to this result?" The staff also saw it and asked Lin Wei.

"That's not true," Lin Wei said with a smile, "I just remembered something. I still have a batch of convertible bonds that I haven't included in the calculation, so I'm sorry, sir, could you please help me count them again."

What?

Mrs. Eaton stood up abruptly.

"How come you have Fusheng's convertible bonds?" She looked at Lin Wei in disbelief.

She remembered clearly that sixteen years ago, she got 20 million shares of convertible bonds from Fu Wenfan, which she later exchanged for stocks. How could Lin Wei have it now?

Lin Wei smiled: "This..."

"Of course I gave it to you."

A voice came from behind Lin Wei.

An old British man wearing a gentleman's hat slowly raised his head. He took off his hat and looked across, and said slowly: "Long time no see, Emily. I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

The moment he saw the person, Mrs. Eaton felt a cold air creeping up to her head: "Ron?"

How could that be?

Her scalp was numb, and many thoughts flashed through her mind. If she had been guarding against Lin Wei, then Ron should have prepared a backup plan to deal with Lin Wei, so Ron secretly hid a batch of dangerous things. Convert debt?

But in the end, these convertible bonds were used on her...

"The so-called starting and ending," Lin Wei's cool voice sounded, "Since all evil thoughts are caused by convertible bonds, then your fate today It ends with these convertible bonds! "
