Chapter 144 New Shareholders Are Implemented, Li Chaoren Is Lost

Around 8.30am the next morning.

Thousands of people came to the Shengshi Group headquarters building and walked into the building.

Today is the official start of advance subscription reservations for Shengshi Group. Any individual or investment bank who makes a reservation will be eligible to freely trade Shengshi Group shares on the stock market on the day Shengshi Group is listed. Those who have not made a reservation will have to wait for the exchange. Only after the new stock issuance system has been verified can everyone participate in free trading.

The scene was maintained by a large number of security personnel. Even though there were so many people, there was no problem and they were ushered into the venue one by one.

The fundraising period in the past few days will be held in the lobby on the first floor of Shengshi Group. After all, with so many people, it is impossible to deal with it in a conference room.

There were many staff from the exchange and notary office on site to handle the procedures for the shareholders who subscribed. Queqi even invited a number of celebrities from the Hong Kong securities, financial, and fund industries to popularize the stock market for free to shareholders. Knowledge.

Of course, the purpose is all to introduce Shengshi Group's stocks.

No matter how good a company is and how potential it has, since it chooses to be listed, the trading of circulating shares in the market is very important.

If no one cares about the tradable shares in the market, then how can the price of the stock increase, and how can the value of the company increase? Therefore, compared with those shareholders who have invested in shares, the retail investors who own his company in the market are the most important factor in any company. fundamental.

Retail investors were registering for funds at the scene, and people were also arriving one after another at another VIP channel specially provided for Hong Kong's richest people.

Standing in the VIP channel, Li Chaoren, Shen Bi, and the few people who had reached a consensus with him yesterday all stopped and looked at the investors in the lobby.

"Looking at the situation, as soon as Shengshi Group goes public, the stock price will definitely skyrocket..." Mr. Bao said with great emotion.

You can basically tell whether a company has potential before it goes public.

Of course, there are also companies that are slow to warm up and are seriously underestimated.

But these are extremely rare.

Judging from the investors of Shengshi Group who are now coming to subscribe for funds, it is very certain that the listing of Shengshi Group will be very popular.

So many investors came to subscribe on the first day, and they will continue to subscribe in the next few days.

There are so many people rushing to carve up this 25% stake. A total of 50 million shares, how can it be enough? There are also major investment companies watching eagerly. In addition, Shengshi Group itself will definitely arrange for people to drive up the stock price.

Therefore, after the listing, we continue to sell and buy. Everything is rare and expensive. Once the shares of Shengshi Group are not enough, someone will buy it at a high price. In this cycle, how can the stock price not rise?

"Li Sheng, this scene is even crazier than when you listed Yangtze River Industries..." Luo Yingshi said slowly.

When Li Chaoren's Cheung Kong Holdings was listed, it was also sought after by Hong Kong investors. During the subscription period, it exceeded the company's own predetermined target by a full 500 times, which shows how crazy it was at that time.

This also caused Cheung Kong Holdings to increase several times in a short period of time as soon as it was listed, from issuing shares of 3 Hong Kong dollars to more than 17 Hong Kong dollars, nearly 6 times.

But now, judging from the situation of Shengshi Group, it is even crazier than when Yangtze River went public. One can imagine what will happen to Shengshi then?

Not to mention more, just like Yangtze River Industries, the stock price has increased 6 times in a short period of time. So what kind of group will Shengshi be by then?

The listed stock price is 23.6, which has increased six times to more than 140 Hong Kong dollars per share and 200 million original shares. In other words, Shengshi Group will be a listed company worth close to 30 billion Hong Kong dollars.

How can this not make people envious and jealous?

Want to know how many groups there are in Xiangjiang now worth 30 billion?

HSBC, Jardine Matheson, Swire?

At most, Wharf and Global Shipping Group, including Mr. Bao, can be considered a large group worth over 30 billion.

In addition, foreign banks such as the Kadoorie Family, Wheelock Group, etc. are not worth more than 30 billion at all, so this situation in the prosperous era is indeed enviable.

The value of HK$30 billion can indeed be counted on one finger in this era, and the current situation of Shengshi Group makes Li Chaoru even more heartbroken.

Because if there had been no accident, he would be the one enjoying this glory today.

Why don't you make him feel sad?

Since the establishment of the Far East Association in 1969 and the listing of Xiangjiang Chinese Assets, there have been many popular companies in history.

The most outrageous one among them was the Antenna Company in 1973. It was subscribed more than a thousand times before the listing. After the listing, the stock price rose from 1 Hong Kong dollar to more than 30 yuan, an increase of dozens of times. It was very scary.

Of course, it collapsed in the end because it was all a scam, just hyped up.

In addition, there is the Jianing Group, which is now managed by Chen Qingsong. Although it was not very popular during the subscription period, in just a few years, the Jianing Group has grown from an empty company to a company now worth nearly 10 billion. Big group.

This is also a potential stock group that is now well known and highly sought after by Hong Kong stock investors.

Moreover, during this period, the Jianing Group will continue to be a myth. Until its collapse, the total value of the group exceeded the tens of billions mark. In later generations, Jianing will also be regarded as the peak of the myth. Unfortunately, this is also a scam.

Compared with the more outrageous scam of Xiangjiang Antenna, these two companies alone have harvested a lot of investors' hard-earned money in Xiangjiang.

Of course, there are also good companies that are truly operating, and not all of the popular companies that were first listed are scams. Among them, Li Chaoren's Cheung Kong, Sun Hung Kai, Henderson, New World Development, etc. are popular companies that maintain very healthy operations.

Therefore, Hong Kong stockholders did not lose confidence in the stock market, otherwise it would be difficult.

"Let's go. It's normal for Shengshi Group to be in such a situation. At the beginning, I also thought that these foreign companies were seriously underestimated, so I took action. It's just a pity." Li Chaoren responded with emotion.

Then Li Chaoren and a group of others entered the conference room designated by Shengshi Group and waited.

They came here today just to listen to Shengshi Group's announcement of the shareholding results, and there was nothing else to do.

After all, they are selecting shareholders, so no one has confidence that any of them can become the new shareholders of Shengshi Group.

After all, Shengshi Group is very special. Several management members have been privately invited to meet by many of them to interrupt the bribery, but unfortunately all failed.

Therefore, they don't have any connections to get through this situation, so they are so passive.

"Haha, many old friends are here." After Mr. Bao walked into the conference room and saw the people inside, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

It can be said that the people in this conference room today really include all the rich people in Hong Kong gathered together.

He even saw a lot of people coming from the Aohai side, including the heads of Jardine, Swire, and Wheelock. He knew that the game was even more lively.

"Sheng Bao, it's morning, Mr. Li."

"Good morning, He Sheng. I didn't expect you to come too?"

The person who greeted Master Bao was He Dingxian, King of Aohai. At this time, he was sitting and waiting with another Mr. He of Aohai.

"Yes, of course I will come over to join in the fun of such a rare event." He Dingxian responded with a smile.

"Could it be that the two of you are also interested in Shengshi Group and have submitted a share application?" Mr. Bao asked in surprise. If He Sheng from the entertainment city would submit a share purchase, then he would believe it, but He Dingxian, King of Aohai, also submitted a share purchase application. It surprised him.

Everyone who knows him knows that since the late 1960s, he has gradually focused on his work in Aohai Nafu, leaving all the family business to his children. Now that he heard that he has also submitted an application for stock ownership, Mr. Bao will Show surprise.

"Of course, Shengshi Group has shown such great potential, I can't remain indifferent." He Dingxian responded very naturally.

"Of course, compared to everyone else, my chance of being selected is very low. I just want to participate."

"Hahaha, He Sheng's mentality is still so good. To be honest, you can't say that. This Shengshi Group's approach has always been unconventional, so it's really hard to determine who will win in the end."

"Indeed, Mr. Bao is right about this. I believe you must have met several management members of Shengshi Group in private. I'm not afraid of your jokes, but I was refused even an appointment to meet."

"Hahaha, He Sheng doesn't have to be sad. In fact, we were all rejected as well, so I said that this time the situation may be difficult to predict."

"No matter how unpredictable it is, in fact, for me, the chance is very low. Do you see how many funds on the scene are much better than mine?"

"Uh, He Sheng, what you said is wrong. Apart from one or two people here, who else can compare with you in terms of prestige and status? Maybe they need people with status to invest in his Shengshi Group?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Bao is still so good at talking. It doesn't matter what he says. I just want to come and watch the excitement. Of course, after all, such a thing is rare. It would be best to be a shareholder. Who would want to deal with money? Can’t get through?”

"Yeah, who would have trouble with money?"

While they were chatting, Que Qi took other management and Li Fuzhao, the head of the exchange's Far East Association, to the stage.

"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to Shengshi Group to announce the new shareholders. In order not to waste your time, I will directly announce the selected new shareholder members."

"The new shareholder members who are selected must respond to Shengshi Group within three days. If it expires, it will be invalid. At that time, new members will be selected from the shortlist to join."

"After comprehensive selection by Shengshi Group, the new shareholders selected are: Mr. Z, chairman of the board of directors from the United States (ZS Group). He will trade 34 million shares with Shengshi Group, accounting for 17% of the equity.

"ZS Group?"

As soon as the name of this group came out, everyone immediately started talking, whispering to each other to find out who it was, but unfortunately no one knew.

"Mr. Shen Bi, have you heard of this group?" Li Chaoren asked with a straight face.

The first person heard that he had not been selected, and he was immediately very dissatisfied. You must know that this time, in order to become a shareholder of Shengshi Group, the price he was given on the application form was 26 Hong Kong dollars. He believed that this price was definitely higher than anyone else's. high.

But he still wasn't selected the first time, so how could he not look bad?

The most important thing is that he has never heard of this group. Even if he wants to negotiate a deal with this group later, he will not be able to do so.

This company was newly registered by Zhuang Rongxu. The registered address was of course in the United States. His purpose was to do this deliberately. He didn't want people to know that he owned Hutchison's equity, and he would plan it slowly later.

"Please be quiet, everyone."

“The third to sixth shareholder members will be announced next, respectively Mr. Robert Kuok, chairman of the Kuok family (Kerry Group) in Singapore.

"Mr. Li Fuzhao of the Li family in Xiangjiang."

The above two companies will each trade 14 million shares with Shengshi Group, accounting for 7% of the group's equity each. "

"In addition, the Aohai He Dingxian family will trade 12 million shares with Shengshi Group, accounting for 6%."

"He Sheng?"

Everyone present was a little surprised when they heard He Dingxian's name.

After all, they are all in the circle, and everyone knows that He Dingxian has not been in the business world for a long time.

But it was actually chosen, why not be surprised.

"Congratulations, congratulations to Chairman Guo." People near Robert Kuok congratulated him after hearing that he was selected.

"Haha, thank you all, thank you." Robert Kuok also laughed out loud after hearing that he was selected. His only dissatisfaction was that the shareholding was a little less. He expected it to be more than 10%.

But being selected was already satisfying for him.

As for He Dingxian.

"Hahaha, He Sheng, you are not expecting it. Congratulations, Shengshi Group is indeed worth investing in. This result is really unexpected." Master Bao said with emotion from the side.

At the same time, he really approves of the new shareholders chosen by Shengshi Group.

Because in his mind, Shengshi Group was an outsider, so it had to bring in powerful local businessmen to join, and the people he selected, whether they were He Dingxian or the Li family, were very important.

It is indeed a very good choice.

As for why you chose Robert Kuok?

Master Bao hasn't figured this out yet.

"The last shareholder member is Mr. Lei Kun of Xiangjiang Jiulong Construction Industry. He will trade 8 million shares with Shengshi Group, accounting for 4% and become the last shareholder."

"Congratulations to the above new shareholders. Please come to the headquarters of Shengshi Group within three days to confirm the signing of becoming shareholders. Thank you all."

After Que Qi finished speaking, he left directly.

The faces of Li Chaoren and Shen Bi are now so dark that they can drip with ink.

"Li, don't be discouraged, we have other plans, we can start from the market."

"In addition, I did some calculations and found that Shengshi Group only holds 34% of the shares of all shareholders' transactions plus outstanding shares. We still have a chance."

Li Chaoren only remembered this after hearing this. He had been thinking about not being selected just now and forgot about it.

Then he thought about it carefully, and as Shen Bi said, the He family, Li family, Guo family, and Lei family alone accounted for 24% of the share.

In addition, the ZS Group in the United States accounts for 17%, and the circulating shares account for at least 25%.

24+17+25=66, so based on this calculation, Shengshi Group accounts for at most 34%, which makes him feel that he still has a chance.

At this time, he thought that if he could get the equity of Guo, Li, He, and Lei, then he would have 24% of the shares. Plus some secret acquisitions in the market, the prosperous age would still be his.

How could this not make Li Chaoren happy?

"Mr. Shen Bi, let's go."

"Okay, Li, we have to plan carefully this time. We must not make a mistake."

"Okay, I will make an appointment with the people who have become shareholders of Shengshi in the next few days to explore their situation first."

"OK, I believe they won't have trouble with money, don't worry."

"I hope so." Li Chaoren responded uncertainly, and it was obvious that he was not sure either.

And at the same time over there at the scene.

Zhuang Rongxu followed them with a smile to congratulate those who were selected to become shareholders of Shengshi.

If people find out in the future that Zhuang Rongxu is responsible for all of this, the wealthy people in Hong Kong will definitely tear his bones apart.

After all, doing so many things has cost so many people a trip, so why not make people angry?
