An embarrassing expression appeared on Wang Liang's face, and he whispered. "Chairman, our Wanning Pharmacy is facing a problem that cannot be solved at our level. This involves unfair competition." "Wanning Pharmacy was established during the Jardine's period against Watsons of Hutchison Whampoa. With your full support, the company’s stores have expanded rapidly. However, in the daily chemical, health, and beauty markets, Watsons has always ranked first, and we now rank second." "Now the company has forty-eight stores. It should be so small, just because there was trouble halfway." "When we were selecting the site for renovation, some of them happened to be on the Hutchison Whampoa site. These lots are very good, but either they are not leased to us, or they are leased to us. There are always problems with the property and unstable water and electricity supply, which has caused a series of impacts." "As a last resort, I closed three stores and reopened the site, which caused a certain impact and delayed the company's store deployment. "After Wang Liang finished speaking, 7-11's general manager Fu Kai also raised his hand and said after Xia Yu's approval: "Chairman, in fact, we also have this problem. In the Hutchison Whampoa property, It is difficult for us to open a store. We discovered this problem at the beginning. In order not to affect the company’s plan, we adjusted the store plan. If the store is to be opened later, it will inevitably be within the premises of Hutchison Whampoa. I am worried at that time. There will be trouble." "I see!" Xia Yu frowned and said, knocking on the table to let them sit down. "Do you have this situation?" Xia Yu asked, looking at the others. Everyone shook their heads, saying that they haven't encountered it yet. For a while, the atmosphere in the office was a bit stagnant. Because it involves Hutchison Whampoa, the British giant consortium, they are indeed not qualified to make decisions at this level, and can only count on Chairman Xia Yu. "Haha!" Xia Yu chuckled lightly, seemingly funny and annoyed. He knew in his previous life that when Hutchison Whampoa was in Li Jiacheng's hands, he also used this kind of unfair competition. Especially in the field of supermarkets, Wal-Mart, Carrefour and others previously opened on the site of Hutchison Whampoa. They have experienced water and power outages. Finally, they withdrew from Xiangjiang in an embarrassing manner, making the retail field of Xiangjiang supermarkets dominated by Watsons. At that time, these foreign supermarket companies criticized Hutchison Whampoa, but Hutchison Whampoa refused to admit it and set aside the pot. This kind of thing is not easy to qualitative, and no evidence that can prove Hutchison Whampoa can be produced. There is no way. Xiangjiang is the site of Li Bancheng, and they can only admit it. Unexpectedly, in this life Hutchison Whampoa was not acquired by Lao Li, and this tactic was also used. But I have to say that although this is very uncomfortable, it is only a form of commercial competition. Watsons backs Hutchison Whampoa. If you do not understand the use of the background, it will not develop to the point where Xiangjiang is the first in this field. . Those big consortia often rely on such measures to defeat opponents in the same field and finally achieve monopoly? Even if it is Xia Yu, if he feels the threat of a company, he will not let the other party make trouble on his own territory. Having said that, since Hutchison Whampoa did this, Xia Yu must be resolved. Think about it carefully, it's time to close the net after the layout of Hutchison Whampoa for so long. The blood of the Jardine Consortium has cooled, presumably Qi Dezun is not so vigilant. The Jiuding Consortium has already digested the assets of Yihe, and it is time to hunt again! Thinking like this in his heart, Xia Yu didn't plan to tell Wang Liang and the others, so as not to have too many people and accidentally leak out and cause unnecessary trouble. "I will resolve this matter and temporarily avoid the development of the Hutchison Whampoa site." Xia Yu said lightly. Wang Liang and Fu Kai nodded and said, "Okay!" "Any other questions?" ... After the meeting, everyone followed Xia Yu's instructions, and Xia Yu left for Jiuding Securities. Called Wang Qi to the office alone, and after closing the door, Xia Yu asked: "Wang Qi, how is the situation in Hutchison Whampoa?" As soon as this word came out, Wang Qi's spirits lifted and he immediately realized that the chairman finally wanted Started with Hutchison Whampoa. On this day, he had been waiting for a long time! Thinking of this, Wang Qi said and waited a moment, and immediately opened a built-in safe in a bookcase, took out a thick pile of materials, and presented it to Xia Yu. "Chairman, please take a look. This is all the preparations we have made for the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, and the information we have collected." Xia Yu raised his spirit and started from the beginning. The first is the most important equity information. Hutchison Whampoa has a total share capital of 350 million shares, and there are two super-large shareholders. The largest shareholder is Qi Dezun. At this time, Qi Dezun holds a 34.8% stake in Hutchison Whampoa, over 120 million shares. Before the Jardine consortium was attacked by Xia Yu last year, Qi Dezun actually did not hold so much equity, only in his early 20s. After all, before the merger of Hutchison and Whampoa, Qi Dezun was only in charge of Hutchison International, and he was not the founder of Hutchison International, but a latecomer. Through a series of acquisitions, he held more than ordinary shares in Hutchison International. . However, after the merger of Hutchison International and Huangpu Shipbuilding, his shareholding ratio naturally fell sharply. It wasn't until the failure of the strategy in 1975 that Hutchison Whampoa was taken over by HSBC, and he also retreated behind the scenes. However, although Qi Dezun holds a 34.8% stake at this time, UU Reading www.uukānshu. com, but more than one-third of them were acquired in the past year, he borrowed money to leverage acquisitions, just to resist the acquisition of others. In the past year or so, thanks to the upswing of the Hong Kong stock market, the market value of Hutchison Whampoa has also risen to HK$6.87 billion. However, Qi Dezun still lost a lot, because the leveraged buyout stock did not receive dividends, but Hutchison Whampoa continued to lose money, and the impact of this part of the loss would naturally be distributed to him. In addition, using bank funds to leverage the purchase of stocks also cost a lot of interest. In addition to Qi Dezun, the second largest shareholder is HSBC. HSBC holds 31.75% of the equity at this time, which is down from 33.65% last year. The declining equity is in the hands of Qi Dezun. In this way, the shareholding ratio of the two major shareholders, Qi Dezun and HSBC, reached 66.55%, almost reaching two-thirds of the total share capital. In addition to these two major shareholders, there are some small shareholders and retail investors. But what outsiders don't know is that many of these small shareholders and retail investors are vests of Jiuding Securities. Adding up all vests, Jiuding Securities holds a total of 22.75% of Hutchison Whampoa. With Qi Dezun highly vigilant, it took nearly a year to complete these acquisitions secretly, which is not easy. The rest are the real retail investors and small shareholders, with a total shareholding ratio of 10.7%. These retail investors and small shareholders have a nail-biting nature and will not easily sell their stocks. And these people are also very alert. In order not to be exposed, Jiuding Securities did not purchase it again. After reading these, Xia Yu was quite satisfied. The 22.75% equity ratio has already reached the prerequisites for launching an attack. As long as it is done properly, it is not difficult to surpass Qi Dezun and become the largest shareholder! PS: This pit has been buried for more than a year, it's time to fill it up, ask for votes.
