The atmosphere in the office of Jinshi Securities was a little tense.
Mo Zhexuan sat on the sofa, savoring the aftertaste of his cigar.
While listening attentively to Lin Xingwen's detailed report on the latest developments in the acquisition of Guanghu Real Estate.
"Mo Sheng, the situation is not good.
Standard Chartered Bank's 5% stake in Guanghu Real Estate has been acquired by a company called Green Investment.
We seem to be a step late." Lin Xingwen's voice revealed a hint of anxiety.
“HSBC’s Shen Bi was very adamant, no matter how high the price we offered.
He remained unmoved and demanded we reveal our true identities directly," Lin Xingwen continued.
"We are currently investigating the background of Green Investment Company.
According to public information, it is a company registered in the United States.”
Lin Xingwen frowned.
“I suspect this company may be related to the institution that bought a large number of Guanghu Real Estate shares in the stock market three days ago.
They may have the same strong interest in Guanghu real estate as we do.”
Mo Zhexuan tapped the armrest of the sofa lightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke:
"Your speculation makes sense. It seems we have indeed encountered a formidable competitor.
The Green Investment Company is probably just a covert operation.”
"So, who do you think is behind this organization that wants to acquire Guanghu Real Estate?" Mo Zhexuan asked.
Lin Xingwen thought for a moment and replied, "Mr. Mo, I think the most likely person is Mr. Li Zhaoji of Henderson Land Development.
First of all, he recently received 2 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash from us. According to news reports, Henderson Land Development is currently actively acquiring land in Hong Kong.
Secondly, as an excellent medium-sized real estate company, although Guanghu Real Estate’s capital chain is tight due to Li Guanghu’s large-scale land acquisition with loans, its own value and potential cannot be ignored.
Therefore, I think Mr. Li Zhaoji is the most likely to acquire Guanghu Properties."
Lin Xingwen expressed his inner thoughts. It seemed that the two sides had reached a tacit understanding in the stock market in the past two days.
As long as Guanghu Real Estate's share price exceeds HK$150 per share, they remain indifferent.
But as long as the price is below HK$150 per share, they will snap up the shares.
"What you said is very likely, but whether Li Ka-shing is the acquirer or not, I am determined to acquire Guanghu Real Estate."
A cold light flashed in Mo Zhexuan's eyes.
It is true that you have to consider personal connections when you are in the business world, but when faced with huge profits, personal connections are really nothing.
"Xingwen! From now on, buy Guanghu Real Estate shares from the stock market at any cost.
As for the Guanghu Real Estate shares held by HSBC, I will personally negotiate."
"Okay! I'll set it up right away."
After Lin Xingwen left, Mo Zhexuan sat alone in the office, lost in deep thought.
Currently, they have successfully held 25.3% of Guanghu Real Estate's shares.
Among them, 5.3% was acquired from Hang Seng Bank at a high price of HK$110 million, which is almost a sky-high price.
In comparison, the total cost of acquiring 10.12% of the shares from two small shareholders of Guanghu Real Estate was only HK$125 million.
The financial pressure faced during this acquisition process is still very great.
Although the relationship with Li Guowei cannot go back to the past, the business world is like a battlefield. There are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends.
From a business perspective, being able to sell it to yourself at a high price is already a huge help.
Afterwards, they redeemed the 500 million loan contract for Guanghu Real Estate from Hang Seng Bank.
This is another huge financial expenditure.
However, these were all facilitated through loans.
For Mo Zhexuan, although the debt has increased, it is still within an acceptable range.
However, Mo Zhexuan couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought about contacting Shen Bi of HSBC again.
Shen Bi was a shrewd and cunning foreigner, but unexpectedly he failed to deceive the other party this time.
It is almost impossible to get Guanghu Real Estate shares from him without paying a huge price.
But Mo Zhexuan knew very well that the price was worth paying.
With the booming development of Hong Kong's real estate market, the value of the land held by Guanghu Real Estate will increase significantly.
Especially those plots of land in Kowloon and Dapu, a conservative estimate.
The market value can at least triple from the current HK$2 billion.
Therefore, acquiring Guanghu Real Estate will be a worthwhile investment.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Mo Zhexuan and Chen Bi agreed on the meeting time.
Under the escort of bodyguards, he went to the temporary office of HSBC.
Shen Bi's secretary Lisa greeted him warmly and led him to Shen Bi's office.
"Mr. Mo! Nice to meet you again. Mr. Chen is waiting for you upstairs. Let me take you there!" Lisa said with a smile.
Mo Zhexuan nodded and responded with a smile: "Okay! Thank you for your help."
Walking into Shen Bi's office, Mo Zhexuan couldn't help but recall the last confrontation with Shen Bi.
He knew very well that this negotiation would be more difficult, but he was fully prepared.
I hope to successfully acquire shares of Guanghu Real Estate and add new impetus to my career.
"Mr. Mo! Welcome again to HSBC.
Deep Ocean Holdings' recent performance has been truly remarkable.
Not only has there been so much investment in mainland China, but the launch of the fragrant duck has shocked the entire Hong Kong!"
Shen Bi's eyes sparkled with blue light, and his voice revealed his admiration for Mo Zhexuan's achievements.
Ever since he learned that Mo Zhexuan was coming to visit him, Shen Bi guessed the other party's intention.
I was quite surprised that Mo Zhexuan wanted to get involved in the real estate industry so quickly.
"Mr. Shen, you're too kind. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and seized some opportunities." Mo Zhexuan responded modestly.
After shaking hands with Shen Bi, the two of them sat down, sipping tea and chatting about the latest news and developments in Hong Kong.
However, as time went on, Mo Zhexuan realized that this was not a solution, so he took a deep breath and decided not to beat around the bush.
“Mr. Shen, I think our conversation can be more direct.
The main reason I came here this time is to acquire the 10% stake in Guanghu Real Estate held by HSBC."
Shen Bi smiled slightly, nodded, and said slowly:
"Mr. Mo, actually, when you called to ask for a visit, I had already guessed your intention.
Furthermore, I also believe that the real operator behind the Insect Investment Company that approached me to acquire Guanghu Real Estate last time was you."
