Bao Yugang clearly felt the sound of his heartbeat, and finally waited for Chu Huan's call. Knowing that Chu Huan suddenly left Xiangjiang to go out to sea last night, the pressure he was under was beyond what the outside world could imagine. At this time, Chu Huan
The call also means that Chu Huan’s disappearance will finally have an answer!
"Ah Huan" Bao Yugang, who was holding the phone, had thousands of words to say, but in the end he only said Chu Huan's name.
Chu Huan's tone on the other side seemed much more relaxed.
"Uncle Bao, it seems that you have not had an easy time these days!"
After a brief period of confusion, Bao Yugang recovered immediately and said with a smile, "Ah Huan, you disappeared suddenly. No one can find you in Xiangjiang. It's strange that you can be better off!"
Chu Huan laughed and said, "Uncle Bao, I can't help it, but the things involved are a bit too twists and turns. Let's get down to business first. How about we talk in detail after we meet in the evening?"
"Okay!" Bao Yugang also understood at this time that no matter what he did, there must be a priority. The most important thing for him now is to end the Wharf acquisition war as soon as possible. Only in this way can he truly
Put your heart back in your belly!
"I already know about Land's raising of the purchase price. Although we were talking about lending you 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, Uncle Bao, this time Land suddenly injected more funds. It is obvious that the funds previously expected are insufficient.
To support Uncle Bao, you have won the Wharf, so I have HK$700 million in cash. I wonder if Uncle Bao needs it?"
Great joys and sorrows in life come so suddenly. All planned joys and sorrows cannot actually make people truly happy or miserable.
Because it is planned and predictable!
But now Chu Huan suddenly appeared and not only agreed to pay their previous loan, but also added 200 million Hong Kong dollars in cash on top of this, which made Bao Yugang overjoyed.
It can be said that 200 million in cash is the final key to Bao Yugang's victory.
"Ah Huan, if you're being polite, I won't say anything more to you. We'll talk about everything after we meet!"
Chu Huan smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
After putting down the phone, Bao Yugang immediately called Wu Guangzheng and Su Haiwen into his office and told them the contents of the call he had just made with Chu Huan.
After listening to this, both of them showed expressions of disbelief.
Chu Huan not only appeared at the most critical moment, but also increased the amount of money borrowed. Coupled with the remaining funds from the previous acquisition of Wharf stocks in Li Jiacheng's hands, this time they already had sufficient ammunition in their hands to fight with Land.
It's a battle!
"Why did Chu Huan suddenly disappear and then appear again?"
Although they already knew the news, Wu Guangzheng and Su Haiwen were still confused about Chu Huan's situation.
"This matter is no longer important now!" Bao Yugang said with a smile, "Awen, please contact TVB, Li's TV immediately and tell them that we, the Bao family, are going to hold another press conference!"
Now that noon has passed, Mr. Bao wants to inform the whole of Xiangjiang that he has increased the purchase price. Newspapers are obviously not enough, and the only way is through live television.
"Ah Zheng, you go to the finance department immediately. I want to ensure that Ah Huan's funds are transferred to Hong Leong International's account smoothly."
Now Chu Huan just told Bao Yugang that he would lend money to Bao Yugang on time, but after all, the money has not yet arrived in his company's account, which still makes Bao Yugang a little worried!
Su Haiwen and Wu Guangzheng did not hesitate at all and immediately nodded "Yes!"
Then the two of them went to do their own things.
The first one to come back was Su Haiwen, "Daddy has notified TVB and Li's TV. They are adjusting the broadcast schedule and strive to have our live broadcast on time at three o'clock in the afternoon. In addition, I have also notified the major newspapers in Hong Kong."
Magazine, they will also come when the time comes!"
Bao Yugang nodded and said with satisfaction, "Okay!"
Ran
Then Wu Guangzheng rushed into Bao Yugang's office, with an expression of surprise on his face, and said, "Dad, Jiaku's 700 million Hong Kong dollars have been received, plus Huo Tsarhuang's 100 million in cash, this
We will definitely win this time!"
The smile on Bao Yugang’s face became even brighter!
At the same time, Henry Keswick and others were also happy at this time. They once again came to the acquisition point of Duoli and Yifu. They looked at the investors who were even more active in selling Wharf stocks than they were this morning. Their faces also had a look on their faces.
It must look like a victory.
"This time, Bao Yugang is completely finished. The Wharf stocks in his hands will be smashed into his hands this time!"
Newbikin sat next to Henry Keswick with a smile on his face.
Henry Keswick smiled and said, "Let's go, by this time we should also go see Bao Yugang!"
Newbikin was a little stunned by Henry Keswick's answer, "Mr. Keswick, what do you mean?"
At this time, Henry Keswick said with a victor's smile, "There is no longer any suspense about Bao Yugang's defeat. At this time, what we have to do is to use the lowest price to sell the Wharf stock in the opponent's hands."
Bought it!"
Newbijian was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Henry Keswick meant, but this did not mean that Michael Keswick, who was sitting in the co-pilot, understood the meaning.
"Uncle, didn't you say before that you wanted to prevent Bao Yugang from selling his Wharf stocks when he saw that the momentum was not right? Why are you taking the initiative to buy his stocks from him now?"
In view of the fact that Michael Keswick had previously contributed to bringing back the funds, and Henry Keswick was in a good mood at this time, he answered this stupid question of Michael Keswick.
"We want to prevent Bao Yugang from selling the stocks in his hands to us through profiteering and Yifu's acquisition point. That means we cannot pay him the same amount of funds, but Bao's current situation is already doomed.
, if these Wharf stocks that he bought at a high price remain in his hands, then after we complete our own acquisition, Wharf's stock price will definitely fall in half, so these stocks will remain with Bao Yugang.
In your hands, it means huge losses.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But for us, if we acquire the remaining shares of Wharf at a price of HK$107 per share, it will also be a huge deal for us.
Now Mr. Bao wants to control his losses, and we need to control our expenses, so he will definitely sell us his Wharf shares at a cheaper price!"
After listening to Henry Keswick's words, Michael Keswick understood what Henry Keswick meant, and then he sent a rainbow fart.
"Uncle, you are far-sighted and have taken everything into consideration. Bao Yugang and the others are no match for you at all!"
Newbijian was also in a good mood at this time. He smiled and said to Michael Keswick, "That's not all. If we can successfully get Bao Yugang's Wharf stock in this trip, then there is no need to fight with Chu
Huan is ready to trade, and Wellcome and 7-11 will also embrace it when the time comes!"
Henry Keswick smiled reservedly and said, "That's exactly what I mean, let's go!"
But obviously, Henry Keswick and others arrived late. When they arrived at the Prince's Building, Bao Yugang had already walked into the press conference.
"What's happening here?"
Michael Keswick looked a little dazed as he looked at the hastily arranged press conference in the lobby of Prince's Building.
But their appearance instantly caused a sensation among the reporters who had arrived at the scene. Henry Keswick and others had just issued a press conference yesterday, and now the whole city was officially discussing their affairs. As a result, at this time, Henry Keswick
Ke and his party came to the press conference that Bao Yugang was about to hold?
Could it be that they both have something important to announce?
No matter what they were thinking, all the reporters at the scene rushed to Henry Keswick and asked them about their situation.
But Henry Keswick and others were also confused at this time. Could it be that Bao Yu had just decided to give up on Wharf?
Stock acquisition?
This is a possibility they subconsciously thought of.
But no matter what they think, they will definitely not answer the reporters’ questions at this time. The key is that they don’t know how to answer them at all?
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Bao Yugang, Wu Guangzheng, and Su Haiwen walked out from the backstage.
Seeing the real owner appear, the reporters at the scene could only give up on Henry Keswick and others.
This also allowed Henry Keswick and others to enjoy a short period of peace. Then they looked at Bao Yugang with puzzled faces. They wanted to know why Bao Yugang held a press conference at this time!
Bao Yugang, who was sitting on the rostrum, also saw Henry Keswick and others, and Henry Keswick and others also saw the smile on Bao Yugang's face at this time, which was the same as his previous smile. Victory
smile.
The two sides looked at each other in the noisy air, and then Bao Yugang began to tell the reason why he invited these reporters to the scene, and at the same time he was telling all the viewers in front of the TV about his decision.
"Hong Leong International has decided to increase the purchase price of Wharf shares from the original price of HK$105 per share to HK$110 per share. This purchase price is the final purchase price of Hong Leong International and will not change again!"
Wow!!!!
The reporters at the scene were instantly excited. If Henry Keswick and others had not arrived at the scene, they would have thought that Bao Yugang wanted to increase the price of Wharf shares. But now that Henry Keswick and others have arrived,
It is more likely that they have reached some kind of consensus.
Bao Yugang wouldn't go out of his way to call Henry Keswick and others to the scene to slap him in the face, right?
No matter how shocked they were, they still quickly raised their hands and asked their own questions.
However, it is obvious that Bao Yugang held this press conference this time to inform the whole of Xiangjiang immediately of the news that they had increased the purchase price of Wharf, and he did not think about answering any questions.
So after announcing their decision, Bao Yugang and the others stood up and left the podium. However, because Henry Keswick and others were present now, no matter how competitive the two sides were, they had to say hello at this time.
However, just when Bao Yu was about to greet Henry Keswick and his party with a victor's smile, Henry Keswick and his party had already turned around and left.
The reporters at the scene looked at Bao Yugang suspiciously. Could it be that Bao Yugang really asked him to slap him in the face?
If this is the case, Bao Yugang is too bad!
"What's wrong!" Bao Yugang didn't understand why Henry Keswick appeared at this time and then left suddenly. He could only complain silently and turned back to his office.
"What happened? How did Bao Yugang suddenly have so much money?"
Michael Keswick delivers an angry sermon after getting into a car.
"Chu Huan!" Henry Keswick had already figured out how Bao Yugang suddenly had such a large sum of money. "Chu Huan must have lent it to him. Now in Xiangjiang, except for Chu Huan,
No one can come up with so much cash in such a short period of time!”
When Michael Keswick heard Henry Keswick's analysis, he also said angrily, "Chu Huan, a duplicitous person, how can he do this? What about his credibility?"
Although Niubijian was angry at this time, he was more frustrated. "Chu Huan did not promise us to trade with us before, he just said that he would consider it. Even if we tell this matter, no one will condemn him."
of!"
Then Newbijian continued, "The most important thing now is what should we do?"
Before, they thought that by trading Wellcome and 7-11's conditions, they would definitely make Chu Huan submit. By then, they would have more Chu Huan's funds, while Bao Yugang would lose it.
With Chu Huan's funds, they will definitely win.
But now that Chu Huan has chosen not to trade with them, but continues to support Bao Yugang, their chances of winning have dropped significantly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "When I go to the Chinese Tour, I want to ask Chu Huan face to face, why did he do this?"
Henry Keswick also preached angrily at this time. Regarding Chu Huan's decision, he felt that he had been fooled. Before Chu Huan suddenly went to sea, it was obvious that the signal sent to the outside world was to abandon Bao Yugang, but now he suddenly supports it.
Bao Yugang, this makes Henry Keswick so miserable that he can't express his pain. He always feels like he is the big horse monkey who has been tied by Chu Huan's neck to perform!
"Mr. Keswick, it is useless for us to go to Chu Huan now. The most important thing now is that we have to come up with better ways to acquire Bao Yugang. His price has risen to the ceiling.
Well, if we raise the price, firstly, we don’t have so much cash on hand; secondly, our previous announcement has stated that 107 Hong Kong dollars per share is the final price; thirdly, if the price is any higher, it will no longer meet the requirements of Kowloon.
The value of the warehouse is over!"
After Newbikin finished speaking, he looked at Henry Keswick seriously and said, "Mr. Keswick, now we must make changes!"
Bao Yugang's sudden decision shocked everyone who was paying attention to this matter, and these people also understood that Bao Yugang's decision had actually brought an end to the Wharf acquisition war!
"If Henry Keswick calls again, no more money can be lent to them!"
Roy Bentley turned off the TV and preached with a gloomy face.
"This is no longer a matter of competing with Chu Huan for the right to speak, but an issue related to the safety of our HSBC funds!"
Shen Bi and Pu Weishi were sitting there with complicated expressions.
The price of 110 Hong Kong dollars per share is already the ceiling of Wharf's stock price. If it exceeds this price, it is very likely that Wharf's stock price will not return to this price in the next ten years.
The most important thing is that they lent 1 billion Hong Kong dollars to Land. According to Land’s profits, it is impossible to repay this money in a normal form in a short time!
"This time we lost again!"
Pu Wei Shi murmured.
Roy Bentley and Shen Bi both understood what Pu Weishi meant. As they had said before, this time the Wharf acquisition war was not only a war between Bao and Land, but also a war between Jiaku and HSBC.
This was due to the competition for the right to speak among the business community in Hong Kong.
But now, Roy Bentley has decided to give up his support for Land, which actually means that this time their battle with Jiaku for the right to speak in Xiangjiang has been defeated again!
Such a defeat left the three of them with mixed feelings.
Since then, the identity of the most talkative person in Xiangjiang business community has been officially established, Xiangjiang Jiaku!
It is foreseeable that after this battle, if companies in Xiangjiang want to develop better, the first person they think of for help will be Jiaku, not HSBC.
HSBC supports Land, Land loses!
Jiaku supported Bao, and Bao won!
The logic is that simple.
More importantly, Jiaku now has many advantages that HSBC does not have. HSBC is just a bank, while Jiaku not only has banks, but also monopolizes many industries in Hong Kong.
HSBC is rich, Jiaku seems to be richer than HSBC!
"Haha, we will be engraved on HSBC's pillar of shame!" Roy Bentley said somewhat helplessly.
When he took over from Saya as HSBC's chief executive, he wanted to lead HSBC to a more glorious future. He definitely did not want to end up like this.
But the development of the situation was obviously not as they expected.
HSBC, once the number one bank in Hong Kong, is now in its own hands and has been surpassed by Jiaku. This is a shame for HSBC!
Shen Bi also had mixed feelings in his heart, but he knew that it was not time to feel sorry for himself, so he put away all the negative thoughts in his heart and preached seriously.
"It is useless to say this now, and we have not been engraved on the pillar of shame. As long as we can complete the acquisition of the Royal Bank of Scotland, we can get back all the reputation we have lost in Hong Kong!"
Want to be super in Hong Kong?
Crossing Jiaku is something they can't find a way to do now. Since Xiangjiang itself can't do it, they have to find a new battlefield.
"But now the acquisition of Royal Bank of Scotland has been stuck on whether to re-register in disguise. After many rounds of discussions with the British Monopolies and Mergers Commission, the other party has made it clear that if we want to pass their review We must ensure their status in Scotland!"
HSBC has never stopped its acquisition of Royal Bank of Scotland, but now all the problems are stuck at this point. It is Mr. Shui who says it can't pay!
Shen Bi looked at Roy Bentley and said with some seriousness, "It's time to make a decision!"
Roy Bentley worriedly said, "If HSBC completes the disguised re-registration through this one-time operation, then our influence in Hong Kong will only be even smaller!"
Xiangjiang is the base camp of HSBC. No matter where HSBC wants to develop its business, they themselves do not want to give up the market in Xiangjiang.
After all, the treatment that HSBC enjoys cannot be found anywhere else.
This is where Roy Bentley hesitates.
Shen Bi said, “Although we have a lot of cooperation with Jiaku now, it can be foreseen that in the future development, Jiaku’s development will definitely be smoother, which means that even if they don’t want to, they will still In the future, it will slowly encroach on our market in Xiangjiang."
Roy Bentley naturally understood what Shen Bi meant, but he was still unwilling to choose to avoid Chu Huan in the Xiangjiang market.
"I don't think we need to worry about this matter now. After all, Standard Chartered Bank is also involved in this Wharf acquisition war. They won't have much experience competing with us for Royal Bank of Scotland, and our HSBC position in Hong Kong , in fact, the most important thing depends on the ownership of Xiangjiang.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As long as Britain can continue to maintain its current control over Xiangjiang in the future negotiations between Britain and China, then even Chu Huan will not be able to really control Xiangjiang. If we completely replace HSBC, we will still have the ability to fight back, but if we choose to leave at this time, it will definitely affect the trust of Xiangjiang depositors in us.
If it were not for the existence of Jiaku, I would not worry about this matter, but now that Jiaku exists, I have to worry about this matter!"
Obviously, Roy Bentley also has his own ideas, and this idea is also well-founded. In addition, Roy Bentley himself is the head coach of HSBC.
In the end, Shen Bi could only choose to follow Roy Bentley's suggestion and continue negotiations with the British Monopolies and Mergers Commission first!
"Looks like the Wharf takeover war is coming to an end!"
Tsar Huo was also sitting on the sofa at this time, with a smile on his face.
Huo Zhenting had just hung up the phone at this time and said with a smile, "I have contacted Ah Huan. He has just returned to Xiangjiang and is at the company now!"
Emperor Huo laughed and said, "Ah Huan's backhand was so beautiful that he deceived everyone!"
Huo Zhenting said with some confusion, "Daddy, there's something I don't quite understand!"
"What's going on?" Tsar Huo looked at his son with some confusion.
"I always feel that Ah Huan's series of actions are a bit superfluous. Since he wants to help Bao Yugang, there is no need to play a disappearing trick at the beginning. This is not Are you playing tricks on Henry Keswick and others?"
Huo Zhenting's question made Tsar Huo a little silent.
yes!
Chu Huan really didn't have this need. As long as he rejected Henry Keswick's suggestion at that time, Henry Keswick would not even make the decision to increase the share price of the Wharf acquisition, and Bao Yugang would naturally not The price will be raised. In this case, Bao Yugang can also spend less money!
"A Huan is definitely not playing tricks on Henry Keswick. He must have a deeper idea when he does this. It's just that we haven't thought about what A Huan's thoughts are yet!"
"What is the important thing that allows Ah Huan to do this?" Huo Zhenting muttered to himself.
Emperor Huo's eyes suddenly lit up. The battle for Wharf was already an event that could shock the whole of Hong Kong. So as Huo Zhenting said, what is more important than the battle for Wharf?
At this time, Emperor Huo suddenly thought of something that had been rumored before, that is, Chu Huan has always been very interested in Yihe and Land!
Is this really what it’s supposed to be like?
"Oh, I lost a great opportunity to make money!"
Li Jiacheng was sitting in his office, looking a little lonely. At this time, Sheng Songsheng and Zhou Qian were busy with their own affairs. Only Li Jiacheng was sitting in his office.
Known as the most intelligent person among the Chinese, Li Jiacheng, who had had doubts before, was now more certain of one thing than Emperor Huo.
That's why Chu Huan made so many moves, especially asking Henry Keswick to use more funds to compete with the Bao family for Wharf.
In fact, all Chu Huan's actions were for one thing, which was to get Henry Keswick to drain all the cash as much as possible.
Because only in this way, Chu Huan will encounter the least resistance when acquiring Land and Yihe.
"If I could acquire part of Jardine Matheson and Land's shares like I did with Wharf stocks, I would definitely make a lot of money when Chu Huan announces the acquisition of these two groups. Since Chu Huan has already decided
If we acquire these two groups, we will definitely attack with thunder!"
Thinking of this, Li Jiacheng felt powerless and envious again.
Land, as the largest real estate company in Hong Kong Central, although its real estate scale has been surpassed by Zhulu Real Estate, Central is Central.
Owning land in the economic center of Xiangjiang is equivalent to owning the brightest pearl in the crown of Xiangjiang's real estate industry!
Naturally, Lijiacheng covets the land very much, but unfortunately it doesn't have enough strength, so it can only look forward to it and sigh.
"Just for these commercial buildings of Zhulu Real Estate in Xiangjiang, the annual rent will be an astronomical figure in the future!"
Li Jiacheng thought of Chu Huan's Zhulu Real Estate's layout in Xiangjiang Real Estate over the years, and felt deep envy again.
"However, it is not an easy task to acquire Jardine Land. Chu Huan has to face not only commercial competition, but also political factors outside of business. The Keswick family has lost the Wharf, and it will definitely not
I will allow myself to lose Yihe and Land!"
Li Jiacheng also thought about the difficulty of Chu Huan's acquisition!
Chinese go!
"Boss, the matter regarding the charter flight has been dealt with. In addition, Miss Gu has been notified. Tomorrow's "True News" headline will be our statement on the acquisition of Jardine and Land by Jiaku!"
Xu Yi spoke to Chu Huan excitedly at this time.
The layout has been planned for so long, and it’s finally time to start!
