NOVEL NEXT Chapter 47 Mr. Li’s confidants and his wife!
In the 1950s, Li Jiacheng had just started his own business. In his eagerness for development, he kept taking orders and shipping goods, while neglecting the quality of the products, which led to a quality crisis. Banks and raw material dealers blocked him every day to demand payment.
In order to reduce the burden on the factory, Li Jiacheng had to lay off workers who were underemployed.
Among the dismissed employees, there was one named Zhou Qianzhao, who was a fellow villager of Li Jiacheng and one of the original founders of the factory.
Zhou Qianzhao never imagined that the layoffs would fall on him.
He was among the people laid off, but employees who had no connection with Li Jiacheng were left behind.
Zhou Qianzhao couldn't figure it out, so he found Li Jiacheng.
Li Jiacheng said to Zhou Qianzhao: "The factory cannot produce normally because there are too many returns. Let the employees who have the most difficult life stay first. When the situation improves, I will let you come back to work immediately. I hope you can understand."
Zhou Qianzhao said: "Boss, I also live on my salary. I don't have a salary, what can my family eat and drink?"
Li Jiacheng said to him: "Don't worry, if I have food to eat, you will have food to eat. Can I let your whole family starve?"
Therefore, during the days when Zhou Qianzhao was laid off, Li Jiacheng often bought grain and vegetables and delivered them to his home.
This moved Zhou Qianzhao very much. He felt ashamed of his behavior. After returning to the factory, he began to do his best to serve Li Jiacheng.
Since then, Zhou Qianzhao has become Li Jiacheng's loyal confidant and right-hand man.
Li Jiacheng would leave many important things to Zhou Qianzhao.
In early January this year, Li Jiacheng received important business intelligence. As long as he bought more than 1% of Wharf shares, he could challenge Land as the major shareholder.
Li Jiacheng didn't have much money at his disposal, so he quietly arranged for his most trusted confidant, veteran Zhou Qianzhao, to take charge of this matter.
Starting from the beginning of January, Zhou Qianzhao was using Li Jiacheng's funds to quietly build a position to buy Wharf stocks.
In the beginning, Wharf stocks were relatively stable.
For fear of being noticed by other investors in the market, he did not dare to buy too much at once.
After more than half a month, I have bought about 3 million shares of stock.
Starting last week, he noticed that Wharf's shares began to rise.
According to Zhou Qianzhao's experience, he should not be the only one secretly absorbing Wharf stocks, but there should be others.
As for who the others are?
He doesn't know yet.
After today, he didn't expect that Wharf's stock had soared to 11.8 yuan per share compared with the original price of 18 yuan per share. The stock price had risen a lot, which meant that more funds had to be used.
The higher the stock price, the less Wharf stocks Li Jiacheng can buy with his funds.
Even today, the stocks he bought are not enough to reach 900 shares, and he has already spent million Hong Kong dollars.
After finishing at the Xiangjiang Stock Market, he immediately drove to Li Jiacheng to discuss the matter.
"Qianzhao, are you saying that the Wharf stock price has risen sharply now?"
"Mr. Li, it's like that. It has risen a lot now. I'm afraid that by tomorrow the stock price will have doubled compared to the beginning of the month."
Zhou Qianzhao personally reported the matter to Li Jiacheng to see how Li Jiacheng would handle it.
According to the original plan, they used different channels to buy quietly, and the market should not react so quickly.
Then buying 20% of the stocks at that time will be within the range of funds that Li Jiacheng can use.
If Wharf's stock price rises to HKD 30 or 40 per share, Li Jiacheng thinks it will be unprofitable.
Now, although Li Jiacheng wants to swallow up Wharf, for Li Jiacheng and Changchun Industrial Group, it is undoubtedly a snake swallowing the elephant.
Changchun Industrial's strength is not too bad, but it requires real money to acquire Wharf stocks.
According to the Wharf stock price of 11 Hong Kong dollars per share, if you buy 1700% of the shares, that is 18700 million shares, the total capital is million Hong Kong dollars.
If Wharf's stock price doubles again, it will be 22 yuan per share. To buy 1700 million shares, it will cost 37400 million Hong Kong dollars.
At this time, Li Jiacheng may still use this fund.
If Wharf's shares were doubled to 33 yuan per share, it would cost HK$56100 million.
At this time, he simply didn't have that much money to buy Wharf stocks.
Unless borrowing money from Huifeng Bank and Shen Bi.
However, he knew that that was simply impossible, because one move could affect the whole body.
At that time, it will not only be Li Jiacheng who wants to eat Wharf, but also Bao Yugang, and even Jardine Land will also protect Wharf. It is impossible for Li Jiacheng to eat Wharf.
Li Jiacheng didn't expect that his plan would be seen through.
There are still people like him who have been secretly absorbing Wharf stocks.
This time, few people knew about his plan. Apart from him and Zhou Qianzhao, not many people knew about it at all.
Naturally, including his friend Bao Yugang and even Shen Bi of Huifeng Bank, they don't know.
"Qianzhao, you mean there is someone like us? Could it be Mr. Bao?"
"Boss, it's possible. However, I'm not sure."
"Continue to accumulate Wharf shares as planned."
No matter what, we are now halfway through and the plan cannot stop.
Even if you can't take 20% of Wharf's shares by then, if you can get 10% of the shares and sell them at a high price, you can still make a profit by then.
Zhou Qianzhao wrote it down.
When Zhou Qianzhao left, Li Jiacheng seemed to be fine again.
After saying goodbye to the wealthy businessman, he asked the driver to drive back to the mountainside villa in Deep Water Bay.
Along the way, Li Jiacheng was thinking, who is secretly absorbing Wharf stocks?
The opponent he is most worried about is not Jardine Land, but his old friend Bao Yugang.
"Sir, you're back."
Li Jiacheng goes in.
A middle-aged woman came out.
This lady is Zhuang Yueming, Li Jiacheng's wife.
She is also his cousin.
The two have been married for many years.
Zhuang Yueming rarely appears in Li Jiacheng's companies, but he plays a very important role in Li Jiacheng's business development.
Zhuang Yueming planned many business plans behind the scenes.
In her early life, Zhuang Mingyue not only handled the trivial matters at home in an orderly manner, but also in the business world, Zhuang Mingyue helped Li Jiacheng, who was weak in English at the time, act as a translator. It was Shen Bi, the last manager of HSBC Bank, who was introduced to Li Jiacheng by Zhuang Yueming.
For Li Jiacheng, no matter whether he started his business, he received strong support from his natal family, Zhuang Yueming's father, Mr. Zhuang, and his wife slowly supported him behind the scenes, so he was able to be where he is today.
Now after Li Jiacheng came back, he changed out of his suit and gave it to Zhuang Yueming, and casually talked about the acquisition of Wharf stocks.
"Sir, I am afraid that your experience in business is not comparable to that of my father, and I cannot provide you with any more advice or help."
With her husband and the company now at their current level, Zhuang Yueming knew very well that it would be really difficult for him to interfere in the business anymore.
However, Zhuang Yueming knew very well that there was another person who should be of great help to her husband.
That is Shen Bi.
If Li Jiacheng can get the support of the Xiangjiang God of Wealth and the current Huifeng Bank chief executive Shen Bi, it is not impossible for Li Jiacheng to swallow up Wharf.
