Chapter 170 Sharpen the knife Huo Huo and acquire Hongkong Land Group!

Lin Fei sat in his luxurious office, holding a financial report in his hand, his eyes scanning every line of numbers and charts.

The report details the financial situation of the Wyvern Group and its subsidiaries, but his focus is more on one target – Hongkong Land.

Hongkong Land ......

Lin Fei chewed on the name.

This is a group that spans multiple industries and has a huge market capitalization, but Lin Fei has a hunch that it will be a "delicious fat" for the future expansion of Feilong Group.

Lin Fei began to ponder various strategies, balance sheets, cash flow statements, earnings reinvestment rates, and acquisition strategies, and these terms were quickly transformed and combined in his mind.

He is ready to raise a lot of money.

"If you want to swallow Hongkong Land, you need to have enough money and strength to deal with their counterattack. "

Next, he needs to prepare various preliminary work, including but not limited to market research, risk assessment, and in-depth understanding of the internal situation of Hongkong Land.

After putting down the phone, Lin Fei picked up a pen and began to draft his plan on a blank piece of paper.

Every step, every detail, was carefully considered and arranged by him.

Hongkong Land Group is a large-scale integrated enterprise headquartered in Hong Kong, which is involved in real estate, hotels, property management and finance.

The group is not only a business giant in Hong Kong, but also has a wide range of influence around the world.

However, it is not just Hongkong Land itself that interests Lin Fei the most.

What impressed him even more was the intricate shareholding structure of 07 between Hongkong Land and Jardine Matheson.

"Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land are both cross-shareholdings, and to be specific, taking Hongkong Land is equivalent to owning 35% of Jardine Matheson's shares. "

The report in front of Lin Fei lays out a series of numbers and charts that clearly show the equity relationship between the two companies.

Jardine Matheson, a much larger business empire, has hardly a business sector it has not set foot in, from shipping and mining to banking and insurance.

If it can control 35% of its equity, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance the influence of Feilong Group on the global business stage.

Lin Fei frowned, thinking carefully.

"Winning Hongkong Land not only requires a lot of capital, but also a number of factors to consider, such as market research, risk assessment, and even profit forecasting and cash flow analysis. "

He picked up the phone and dialed Shao Jiahui's number.

"Mr. Shao, I need you to make an M&A evaluation report for me on the mergers and acquisitions of Hongkong Land and Jardine Matheson, especially the cross-shareholding structure of the two companies.

If we take control of Hongkong Land, what kind of impact will it have on Jardine Matheson. "

"Understood, boss. I immediately organize the team for a comprehensive analysis. "

After hanging up the phone, Lin Fei began to carefully study every detail of the report.

Lin Fei sat in his luxurious office, with a ten-page M&A appraisal report spread out in front of him.

The report was compiled by Shao Jiahui himself.

To be precise, it's a document full of technical and economic jargon, from valuation analysis, debt ratios, cash flow statements, to potential synergies.

Shao Jiahui stood opposite Lin Fei, waiting for his question.

"Mr. Shao, explain the cross-shareholding structure chart in this report. "

Lin Fei pointed to a complex structural diagram in the report and said.

"Of course, boss. "

Shao Jiahui cleared his throat and began to explain: "To put it simply, the shareholding structure between Hongkong Land and Jardine Matheson is highly intertwined.

Jardine Matheson holds approximately 15% of Hongkong Land's shares.

In turn, Hongkong Land also holds a 20% stake in Jardine Matheson. The acquisition of Hongkong Land is equivalent to indirectly controlling 35% of the equity of Jardine Matheson. "

Lin Fei nodded, his expression serious.

"So, if we get hold of Hongkong Land, what impact will it have on Jardine Matheson?"

"From a financial point of view, having a 35% stake is enough to influence the strategic direction of Jardine Matheson.

In accordance with the Company Law, we will have the right to participate in the formulation of major decisions, including but not limited to mergers and acquisitions, capital operation, dividend policy, etc. "

Shao Jiahui explained in detail.

"What about the financial implications?"

"From a market perspective, Jardine Matheson has a wide range of businesses in a wide range of sectors, including shipping, mining, banking and insurance.

If we can effectively integrate the resources of the two companies, it will greatly enhance the overall market competitiveness.

This is known as the synergistic effect. "

Lin Fei smiled slightly: "Sounds very attractive." "

"Yes. After the merger and acquisition, how to integrate the culture and business of the two companies to avoid internal friction. "

"So, how do you think we should raise the necessary capital for this merger?"

"Given Hongkong Land's valuation and our existing funding position, I suggest that we can raise capital through a variety of sources. "

Shao Jiahui's answer was full of professionalism.

"So, what kind of leverage and consolidation effects will this situation have?"

Lin Fei asked deeply.

"Good question, owner. "

Shao Jiahui demonstrated his professionalism: "From the perspective of leverage, we control part of the equity of Jardine Matheson through the acquisition of the Land Group.

In fact, we use relatively small capital to control larger assets, which will greatly improve our capital operation efficiency and return on investment. "

At the same time, in terms of merger effect, this merger will allow Feilong Group to achieve vertical integration and horizontal expansion in multiple business areas.

Not only can it reduce operating costs, but it can also increase market share. "

Lin Fei smiled with satisfaction: "Very good." So, what are the risk factors and market hurdles that we need to be aware of when implementing this M&A action?"

Shao Jiahui pondered for a moment: "Hongkong Land and Jardine Matheson have their own long-term partners and shareholders, and they may use a series of means to block this merger.

We also need to consider antitrust reviews, as well as possible equity pledge and capital adequacy issues involved. "

"Good, that's what I want to hear. "

Lin Fei stood up and walked to the window, overlooking the busy Xiangjiang city below.

"Prepare the funds and start reaching out to the relevant financial institutions and legal teams. We are about to embark on a big drama that will shock the whole of Xiangjiang. "

Shao Jiahui stood up excitedly: "Understood, boss." "

Shao Jiahui moved quickly, and he took as much time as he needed to prepare the information to report. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Lin Fei's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop.

The large screen projector in front of you displays a series of complex data and charts.

Shao Jiahui stood aside, pointing at key data with a laser pointer.

"Jiahui, give me an overview of the basic plan we have now. "

Shao Jiahui nodded and said, "In short, our first step is to raise funds through private placement and the issuance of convertible bonds.

We will use the funds to acquire the shares of Hongkong Land until we gain control of it.

And because of the cross-shareholding relationship between Hongkong Land and Jardine Matheson, we will then have enough influence within Jardine Matheson. "

Lin Fei smiled slightly: "This plan seems simple, but we have to control several variables.

We need to optimize our capital structure precisely to ensure that our debt-to-equity ratios are optimal.

In this way, we can maximize the return on investment when operating with financial leverage. "[]

Shao Jiahui nodded: "Indeed, boss, capital structure optimization is the key. "

Lin continued, "We need to conduct due diligence before the merger, especially for Jardine Matheson's diversified business.

This allows us to accurately assess potential synergies and corporate value. "

"Understand, we're going to have a dedicated team to take care of that. "

Lin Fei stood up and walked to the window, overlooking the busy downtown area of Xiangjiang.

"Finally, we need an information barrier. Our plan cannot be easily seen through by other competitors or market participants. "

Shao Jiahui said seriously: "Yes, boss." We strictly control the flow of information and use confidential confidentiality agreements to limit the dissemination of information by employees and partners. "

"Not only 560. "

Lin Fei returned to his seat: "During the implementation of the M&A, we need to set up several independent special purpose vehicles (SPVs) for risk isolation and asset allocation.

These SPVs act as merger executors and are responsible for acquiring the equity interests of Hongkong Land and Jardine Matheson. "

Shao Jiahui's eyes lit up: "That's indeed a brilliant idea, boss."

The use of SPV allows us to operate more flexibly and at the same time reduce the potential risk to the main body of the Feilong Group. "

Shao added: "It is important to pay attention to the setting of the time window and the conversion price so as not to dilute the interests of existing shareholders. "

Lin Fei's eyes were sharp: "Very right." Finally, we need to use a way to buy back and resell the underlying assets, referred to as REPO, for short-term financing. "

Shao Jiahui couldn't help but be impressed by Lin Fei's thoughtfulness and business acumen: "This method is very ingenious.

On the one hand, we can raise a lot of money in a short period of time, and on the other hand, we will not let the outside world see our true intentions. "

Lin Fei nodded slightly: "Yes, but it's not enough." We need to introduce an arbitrage strategy to operate using the spread between the shares of two companies.

Furthermore, the equity in Hongkong Land can be pledged through equity pledge refinancing to obtain more liquidity for operation.

Remember, keep your financial risks under control and make sure your operations are in compliance with laws and regulations. "

Shao Jiahui heard it and nodded yes: "Boss, this is an advanced version of guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines." "

Lin Fei laughed: "Of course, if it's a simple acquisition battle, then I still need to go into battle in person?"

"How are the funds arranged?"

Shao Jiahui turned to practical issues.

Lin Fei smiled confidently: "Our Feilong Group's assets are strong enough, so we don't have to worry about funds." Even if needed, it can be solved through internal deployment and cash management. "

"Jiahui, we want everyone to understand that the Feilong Group's move is the king's move. "

Shao Jiahui bowed: "Obey, boss." "。
