Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Chapter 584 Battle for Hong Kong Electric (5)

The details of the Hong Kong Electric Group's board of directors were leaked out by unknown sources, and the stock market reacted immediately.

Hong Kong Electric Group's stock price has soared, and British capital actually defeated Lin Baicheng on the board of directors, which shows that British capital may seize control of Hong Kong Electric Group from Lin Baicheng, and Lin Baicheng will definitely not watch himself lose Hong Kong Electric Group.

Therefore, in the interpretation of the outside world, Lin Baicheng and British capital will definitely continue to compete for control of HK Electric Group, and the competition for shares between the two parties is the top priority.

Of course, the stock price of Hong Kong Electric Group rose, and it rose sharply. It was close to the price of HK$9 at the close of the morning.

At the current price, Lin Baicheng would definitely not be able to get the money if he asked Yum Securities to purchase the stock at HK$7, and he did not let Yum Securities purchase the stock at a higher price. The main reason was that he did not want to be taken advantage of, and he did not want to be cut off by others. .

Lin Baicheng asked Yum Securities to pay attention to the stock market and pay attention to whether there were funds secretly acquiring large quantities of Hong Kong Electric Group's shares. If there are funds to buy in large quantities, the stocks with capital trays can be analyzed from the trend.

Once there is a large amount of money on the pallet to buy HK Electric Group's shares, Lin Baicheng will have to consider whether to acquire a large number of shares at a higher price. He cannot let British capital exceed him in shareholding ratio.

Once Lin Baicheng's shareholding ratio is lower than that of British capital, Lin Baicheng will lose the initiative, which will be very detrimental to him.

Many big guys in Hong Kong are paying attention to what happens to Hong Kong Electric Group. After all, this is a large company with a market value of several billion Hong Kong dollars, and it is also engaged in electricity and has great influence.

Furthermore, the two parties competing for control of the Hong Kong Electric Group are the new richest man in Hong Kong, Lam Baicheng, who is Chinese; the other party is the representative of the four major British-owned families in Hong Kong, three of the four major foreign banks, and the remaining one is still not inferior to the four major foreign banks. Kadoorie family.

In any case, the British capital won over Grant and Fred, which was a defeat for Lin Baicheng. Lin Baicheng failed to achieve his goals on the board of directors, and there were still changes in the competition between the two parties for the Hong Kong Electric Group.

However, the very next day, Lin Baicheng learned great news from the United States.

The international gold price, which has been fluctuating around the US$390/ounce price, rose by more than four points during the day on Wednesday New York time. The gold price broke through the US$400/ounce price, which can be said to be a big positive line.

In addition to the sharp rise in gold prices, oil prices have also risen sharply. It is also a big positive line and has risen by more than four points.

The reason why gold and oil prices have risen sharply is because of local friction between Hongsu's troops on the Afghan border. Once the friction expands, a war between Hongsu and Afghanistan is expected to break out.

Once a war breaks out, the price of gold and oil will inevitably rise sharply. Now it is just a possibility that a war will break out. The price of gold and oil will rise sharply first. The subsequent trend will depend on whether a war will break out.

The sharp rise in gold and oil prices is of course extremely good news for Lin Baicheng. His total investment in gold futures and oil futures exceeds 10 billion US dollars. If calculated as an increase of four points, he is here The profit was US$400 million per day, which would be nearly 1.7 billion in Hong Kong dollars.

Although the market value of Hong Kong Electric Group is not low, it is nothing compared with such a huge profit and the possible larger profits in the future.

Although he already knew that the war between Hongsu and Afghanistan would break out, the investment this time exceeded tens of billions of dollars. Therefore, when this actually happened, Lin Baicheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why we are not completely relieved is because there is only partial friction between the two sides now, and there is still the possibility of reconciliation. Although he didn't think that the butterfly effect brought about by his rebirth would affect the war here, Lin Baicheng was still a little worried because the investment was too large.

It's just that worries are worries. Lin Baicheng has no ability to affect such major events, so all he can do is to make people pay attention to the international situation. Once the situation goes bad, he will leave the market quickly. Otherwise, he will sit back and wait for the price of gold and oil to rise sharply.

Lin Baicheng himself still focuses on the Hong Kong Electric Group. He must not let the British capital take away the Hong Kong Electric Group from his hands. At the same time, he must find a way to teach the British capital a profound lesson.

The outside world is also paying attention, waiting for Lin Baicheng to fight back.

However, on Thursday, Lin Baicheng did nothing. Although he worked at Hong Kong Electric Group, he did not even specifically talk to Grant and Fred, as if he didn't mind their betrayal.

Grant and Fred, on the other hand, were a little worried about how Lin Baicheng would deal with them. Fortunately, not only did they receive huge rewards from the British capital, they also received promises, so they chose to side with the British capital.

Lin Baicheng did not take any action on this day. At the same time, he did not purchase a large number of shares from the stock market at a high price. The British capital also did not purchase a large number of shares at a high price. Therefore, the stock price of HK Electric Group fell back to a price of about 8 Hong Kong dollars.

Seeing that neither party has purchased stocks from the stock market at a high price, they are inevitably worried about changes. In addition, retail investors continue to leave the market at high prices, so they dare not invest too much money to raise the stock price of HK Electric Group too high.

On Friday morning, Lin Baicheng learned from Qin Lan that the price of gold and oil in New York had risen sharply yesterday. This time, the increase was just over three points. In two trading days, the price of gold and oil had increased by seven points.

"Mr. Lin, today is the last trading day of this week. After that, the market will rest for several days. Do you have any instructions for the investment in gold futures and oil futures?"

After Qin Lan finished his report, he asked aloud. The two days after Friday are weekends, and next Tuesday is Christmas. There is no trading in the market before and after Christmas, so the market will be closed for five days in a row.

Lin Baicheng said: "I still have one request. Unless Hongsu and Afghanistan end their flames and reconcile, I will just watch it."

"I see."

Qin Lan responded and expressed her understanding.

Before going to work, Lin Baicheng left home and went to Hong Kong Electric Group.

Hong Kong Electric Group, around ten o'clock in the morning.

More than a dozen police officers walked into the headquarters building where Hong Kong Electric Group is located.

The front desk lady at the lobby immediately notified the general manager's office, and the general manager's office immediately reported to Lin Baicheng and Levi's.

After Levis learned about it, he went to Lin Baicheng's office in person.

Lin Baicheng said to Levis: "Levis, go and receive them. If they want our company to cooperate with them in any way, you should cooperate with them."

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Levi responded, thoughtfully, and he couldn't help but guess that the person might have been called by Lin Baicheng.

Levis left Lin Baicheng's office and learned from the employees who came to report that the police officers had come up in the elevator.

"Guys, I'm Levi, the executive of Hong Kong Electric Group. I wonder which department you are in?"

"Hello, Senior Class Levi's, I am Zhang Yichi, senior inspector of the Commercial Crime Investigation Division. This is my ID."

After the leading police officer introduced himself, he took out his ID.

"Hello, Inspector Zhang."

Levis took the certificate, looked at it, and shook hands with Zhang Yichi.

Zhang Yichi took out another document and said: "This is a summons. We received a report that Mr. Grant, the manager of your company's marketing department, and Mr. Fred, the chief engineer of the technical department, infringed on your company's assets. Therefore, we need to I will take you two back for questioning and investigation, and I hope your company can cooperate."

"Of course, we are a law-abiding company and have an obligation to cooperate with your work. I will take you to them right now."

Levis immediately said after hearing this, he didn't know that this was Lin Baicheng's handiwork. Otherwise, without the support of big shots, the Commercial Crime Investigation Bureau would not be able to investigate the executives of a large company like Hong Kong Electric Group for no reason.

“Thank you Levi’s Taipan for your support.”

Of course Zhang Yichi also guessed that the person behind the scenes was Lin Baicheng, but he received orders from his superiors, and he had to complete them no matter what he thought.

Under Levi's guidance, Zhang Yichi went to Grant and Fred one after another, and took them away in shock and anger. Zhang Yichi has a summons, and the two of them can only choose to go with them, otherwise they will be charged with "obstructing official business".

Grant and Fred were suddenly taken away. The executives and employees of Hong Kong Electric Group couldn't help but talk about it. They were secretly awe-inspiring and at the same time worked more seriously.

No one is a fool. Grant and Fred just betrayed Lin Baicheng and sided with British capital at the board meeting. Within two days, they were taken away by the Commercial Crime Investigation Bureau on the pretext of commercial crimes. They said that this was not Lin Baicheng's handiwork. No one could say anything. Do not believe.

After Zhang Yichi led people to take Grant and Fred away, Levis immediately went to Lin Baicheng's office.

"Mr. Lin, here is Senior Inspector Zhang Yichi from the Commercial Crime Investigation Division. He said he received a report that Grant and Fred had violated the interests of the company and wanted to take them back for questioning. Now they have been arrested. It was taken."

Although he suspected that Lin Baicheng did this, Levi still pretended not to know and reported to Lin Baicheng seriously.

"Is there such a thing?"

Lin Baicheng pretended to be surprised and asked: "Levis, do you think Grant and Fred have violated the interests of the company?"

Levis said ambiguously: "I think there should be. If there is no evidence, Inspector Zhang will not take them away."

Lin Baicheng shook his head: "That's such a pity. I didn't expect that they would be such people."

"Yeah, I really didn't expect it!"

Levi nodded in agreement, and continued: "But Mr. Lin, the two of them have now taken refuge in Yingzi. I think Yingzi will definitely not watch anything happen to them, but will try to fish them out. With the strength of several major Yingzi families, Grant and Fred may be released soon.”

"That's true."

Lin Baicheng was not disappointed when he heard this, because he had already thought of this. With the strength of the major British families, it would be good if the Hong Kong government could not help the British to deal with Lin Baicheng. Lin Baicheng had never expected the Hong Kong government to help him deal with it. British capital.

"However, after this incident, no matter what, both Grant and Fred have stains on their bodies. For the sake of the company's interests and reputation, I think they are no longer suitable to serve in the company, don't you think? ?”

"What Mr. Lin said is that they are indeed not suitable to serve in the company."

Levi's eyes couldn't help but light up after hearing this. He knew Lin Baicheng's purpose of doing this. Regardless of whether Grant and Fred can be convicted or not, as long as they are taken away for questioning, there will be a stain on them, and the company will have reason to fire them, and their director seats will naturally be put aside.

Without Grant and Fred, among the nine remaining board seats of Hong Kong Electric Group, Lin Baicheng's side occupied five, gaining the upper hand and regaining the situation.

Lin Baicheng nodded with a smile and said: "I am going to suspend their positions first, and their positions will be temporarily held by one of their deputy subordinates, and then remove both of their director seats at the shareholders' meeting next week."

"It is still necessary to suspend them."

Of course Levi will not object. He is now on the same camp as Lin Baicheng, and it is most beneficial to him if Lin Baicheng wins.

"Then you go ahead and announce the suspension of both of them. I will interview the specific successors one by one and notify you after the candidates are confirmed."

This was an opportunity to increase his influence on Hong Kong Electric Group, and of course Lin Baicheng took part in it personally.

Levi nodded: "Mr. Lin, if nothing happens, I will go out first."

"You go out and do your work first."

Lin Baicheng has nothing to say for the time being.

Lin Baicheng arranged for Grant and Fred to be taken away by the Commercial Crime Investigation Bureau. He also made other arrangements, which was to call the media under the Asia Star Media Group to wait outside the Hong Kong Electric Group in advance.

When Grant and Fred were taken out of the Hong Kong Electric Group by Zhang Yichi, reporters immediately went to take photos and interviews. Although Zhang Yichi did not accept the interview, the reporters had already taken pictures of Grant and Fred being taken away.

There is no need to wait until evening or tomorrow, relevant reports will appear in newspapers at noon, and there will also be relevant reports on Asia Television's noon news.

This is the convenience of having your own media. If you want to report something, you can report it immediately. Otherwise, if you want to be reported to the newspaper immediately, you have to spend a lot of money. Not to mention, it is still uncertain whether the other party will report it or not.

Not long after Grant and Fred were taken away, Yingzi knew about it. Shi Yadi Shihuai first arranged for a lawyer to meet with the two people, and then asked the Chief Superintendent of the Criminal Investigation Division to find out what happened. One thing.

Only when you know what's going on can you deal with it.

The Swire Group and the Schweizer family still have a lot of reputation, not to mention the four major families behind the British capital this time. The chief superintendent of the Commercial Crime Investigation Division did not hide it and told the situation to Si Yadi Sihuai Ya.

When he learned that Lin Baicheng was up to something, Shi Yadi Shihuaiya was not surprised. He had guessed it before making the call. However, there were no major problems with Grant and Fred, which made Siyadi Shwaiya relieved. This gave him room to operate. He immediately put pressure on the Chief Superintendent to let them go.

However, the Chief Superintendent refused, saying that he would not release the person unless ordered by the Commissioner of Police or a higher authority, and asked Siadi Shihuaiya not to embarrass him.
