Li Guangyu did not pay attention to the arrival of several major family consortiums in Singapore in the past two days. He is now focusing on Taikoo Co., Ltd. and does not care about other things. Moreover, those families in Singapore have nothing worthy of his attention.
After Tianyu Investment Company swept away most of the circulating shares in the stock market, it began to focus on the shareholders of Swire Holdings. As long as Li Guangyu could buy the shares in their hands, he would be able to achieve the purpose of controlling Swire Holdings.
On the morning of August 21, Li Guangyu ordered Guo Fengtao to start contacting these shareholders to discuss their shares in Swire Holdings.
After Guo Fengtao negotiated the acquisition price with them, these shareholders immediately contacted Wooden Swire and asked whether Wooden Swire would acquire their shares on these terms.
Wooden Shihuai Ya did not expect that the Lee Group would really dare to give. The current stock market is not clear. They actually purchased the shares from these shareholders at a premium. They really hope to drive the Shihuai family out of Taikoo Co., Ltd.
.
How did he know that the price offered to him by these shareholders was an extra layer on top of the premium given by Li? These shareholders just wanted to see how reluctant Wooden Swire was to lose the controlling stake in Swire Holdings.
Wooden Shihuai Ya asked individual shareholders not to rush to take action for the time being, and would give them a reply tomorrow after he contacted the headquarters.
Li Guangyu was also listening to Guo Fengtao's report, and Li Guangyu could also guess a thing or two about the plans of these shareholders. Flashwu did not refuse his side, but used the excuse of thinking about it, and probably wanted to go to the Shihuaiya family.
Bargaining over there.
Li Guangyu knew that the Sihuaiya family would never let him easily obtain the controlling stake of Swire Group. Even if the Swire Group controlled more than half of the voting rights in the company, it would not be willing to lose its controlling stake just like this.
Li Guangyu said: You should pay attention to the trends of the Swire Group at any time to see what they are planning, and pay attention to those shareholders. If the price offered by the Swire Group is higher than ours, you can continue to increase the price to ensure that the Swire Group cannot own
A controlling stake in Swire Pacific plc.
Guo Fengtao said: Li Sheng, don't worry, I will arrange personnel to pay attention to this issue. At the same time, we have also successfully contacted a shareholder. If there is any news there, he will report to us.
Li Guangyu didn't expect that Guo Fengtao was really capable. He sent people to inquire about the enemy. They would know immediately what price Wooden Shihuai would give, which would be quite beneficial to their acquisition.
Li Guangyu said: What conditions did you promise him? Make him willing to do this.
Li Sheng, I just promised him that when we acquire the shares, we will buy his shares at half a premium. His shares are the smallest among these shareholders. I think it is worth paying a little more.
.Flashdance Guo Fengtao replied.
Li Guangyu didn't have any objections to this. If he wanted to win over the Swire Group, he would definitely have to pay some price. Even a half-tier premium on the shares in the hands of this shareholder would not bring much more money. His news could alleviate Li's
The group suffered a lot of losses.
Li Guangyu said: What about the shares held by the investment departments of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank? What is the news about your contact? Are they willing to take action?
Guo Fengtao said: Li Sheng, these two banks have no plans to take action, and I don’t know what they think?
Li Guangyu knew that these two banks did not want to transfer their shares to him. They must also be waiting for news from Wooden Swire, hoping that their shares could be sold to the Swire family.
Li Guangyu will not let them get their wish. These shares do not belong to their bank. They are just the shares of their customers that they hold on behalf of their clients. Nowadays, investors are hoping to cash out as soon as possible. If these two major banks do this, their
Customers will have opinions.
Li Guangyu said: This time you contact the investment departments of these two major banks in a fair and open manner. I will send a reporter to follow you. The media will report it at that time. Customers will not refuse to ship goods just because there is a transaction.
, hold it in your hand and continue to lose money.
Guo Fengtao said: Okay Li Sheng, I will arrange for people to contact the investment departments of these two major banks later. As for the reporters, you still need to make arrangements.
Li Guangyu said: Then I'll leave first. You make arrangements here, and I will instruct Xiangyu Daily to send a reporter to go with you.
At this time, several shareholders of Taikoo Co., Ltd. were also discussing the issue of share disposal in a hotel room. They were originally disappointed by the stock market crash. Coupled with the losses of some of their own industries, some shareholders also lacked funds.
, this time they were overjoyed that the Lee Group was willing to take shares in Swire Pacific.
Nowadays, the competition between Li Group and Swire Group is what they most want to see, so that they can obtain greater profits. Due to some uncertain factors, it is better to hold the money in their hands. When facing difficulties,
I also have the strength to face it.
If you look at the difference between the Lee Group and the Swire Group now, you will know how much of a threat the Lee Group, which has funds, poses to the Swire Group. If the Swire Group had abundant funds, it would still be suffering as it is now.
One of its shareholders said: There is no need to rush our share sale this time. As long as the confrontation between the Lee Group and the Swire Group in England does not end and the Lee Group does not obtain the government's permission to establish an airline, the Lee Group will not stop selling its shares.
The acquisition of Swire Pacific. The Swire Group is definitely not willing to let the Lee Group control Swire Holdings. The shares in our hands can definitely be sold at a higher price.
The shareholders here are not stupid. Now it is obvious that neither the Li Group nor the Swire Group will give in. The shares in their hands have become the deciding factor. Since they can sell them at a higher price, they are not willing to sell them in advance, even if they wait
I and the Shihuaiya family belong to England, but I and others can't live with money because of this.
If it weren't for the fact that both the Shihuaiya family and themselves were British, they would have already negotiated the price with the Li Group. They believed that even if they asked for a higher price, the Li Group would agree.
One of the shareholders said: We don’t care how the Li Group and the Xiangjiang British Capital Group compete for each other. We will sell to whoever bids the highest price. The current economic development in Xiangjiang is not very good. After this share sale, I plan to go to Australia.
Let’s develop the market while we wait until Xiangjiang becomes stable.
These are just small companies. The stock market crash and the global financial crisis have caused them heavy losses and their product sales are not very good. Because of the situation in Hong Kong, these people want to go to Australia to find the market first.
.
One shareholder said: Although Swire Group and Jardine Matheson are representatives of our British-funded consortium, our own company has not benefited much from them, and we have no obligation to help them fight against the attack of the Chinese-funded consortium.
When the company was in trouble, these major groups had no control over our life or death.
After discussion, several shareholders finally decided that within one week, whoever bids the highest price would sell it to them. Delaying it too long would not be good for them.
