753, Jardine, Land AcquisitionThe whole city is crazy
"Chinese Real Estate hereby declares that for the development needs of the group, after the Chinese Real Estate board of directors held a meeting to study, the group officially announced that it will acquire Land and Jardine Group today.
According to the research of the board of directors of the group, it is believed that the stock prices of Jardine Matheson and Land Group at this time cannot reflect the true asset value of these two groups at all.
Therefore, the group decided to purchase an additional 87.74 million shares of Jardine Matheson at a price of HK$100 per share and an additional 800 million shares of Land at a price of HK$7 per share!
The amount involved in this acquisition is as high as HK$8.1 billion, and the relevant additional purchase procedures will be entrusted to Fengwu Securities!"
The cost of this acquisition is more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars more than the 6.6 billion Hong Kong dollars previously estimated by Chu Huan and others. However, this is also a change made by Chu Huan in order to be able to finalize the decision. Although they now think that they have mobilized a lot of Yi
and, land's cash.
But after all, they held more shares than Jiaku, which meant that Chu Huan had to use a thunderous strike to quickly resolve this matter.
In this way, Chu Huan would have more energy to deal with political factors other than the commercial acquisition.
Everyone who saw this news was dumbfounded. The Wharf takeover war has not yet been officially announced to be over. As a result, Jiaku has now announced that it will acquire the two consortiums Jardine Matheson and Land!
This is Jardine and Land!
Jardine, once the leader of the four largest foreign companies in Hong Kong, is now one of the three largest financial groups in Hong Kong!
Land, known as the brightest pearl in the crown of the real estate industry in Xiangjiang, is the land king in Xiangjiang Central!
Jardine Matheson has been dominant in Hong Kong for nearly 100 years. Even if the Bao family acquired Wharf before, some people think that if the Bao family can successfully acquire the Wharf, there will definitely be companies competing for the land. Jardine Matheson feels
Interested, but when this thing really happens in front of me...
Still no one dares to believe that this incident really happened in front of them, and then think of the Wharf acquisition war that has not yet ended.
Everyone is in a dream!
Bang!
Bao Yugang, who was sitting at the dining table, dropped the spoon in his hand on the table, but he didn't notice it. At this time, Bao Yugang was staring closely at the newspaper on the dining table.
Even Bao Yugang, who had gone through a lot of ups and downs, was filled with disbelief when he saw the news.
Chu Huan’s goal is actually Land and Yihe?
Just when Bao Yugang didn't know how to express his shock about this incident, Wu Guangzheng had already rushed to the restaurant. Wu Guangzheng and his wife did not live with Bao Yugang.
Holding a copy of "True Report" in Wu Guangzheng's hand, he came straight to Bao Yugang and shouted loudly.
"Daddy, I just saw the news. Chinese Real Estate officially announced that it will acquire Jardine Matheson and Land!"
"Sit!" Although Bao Yugang was still greatly shocked, he still maintained his stability, pointed to the seat next to him, and said: "It seems that this is the real reason why Chu Huan suddenly disappeared.
Yes, he is indeed paralyzing Henry Keswick, but not because of our acquisition of Wharf, but because Chu Huan has already decided to acquire Jardine and Land!"
"He really dared to do this!" Wu Guangzheng was unable to maintain basic composure in this matter like Bao Yugang, but said excitedly: "This involves 8.1 billion.
Hong Kong dollars, where did Chu Huan get so much money? When he lent us money before, didn’t he say that he didn’t have enough cash in hand? "
"Haha!" Bao Yugang gave a bitter smile and said: "At this time, do you still think that Chu Huan lent us money before because he didn't have enough cash in his hands? This is simply a strategy of Chu Huan. He wants to create a
There is an atmosphere of insufficient funds in hand, because only in this way, Henry Keswick will not think that Chu Huan wants to take action on their lifeblood at this time!"
Wu Guangzheng murmured: "Now, Chu Huan has really broken the sky in Xiangjiang!"
Then, Wu Guangzheng looked at Bao Yugang and asked, "Daddy, I have an idea now."
Bao Yugang asked: "What do you think?"
Wu Guangzheng analyzed: "The acquisition of Jardine and Land must be something Chu Huan has planned for a long time, but this matter must require a long-term plan, and the most important point is to maximize the Keswick family's
The cash flow was exhausted, and before that, the Keswick family spent the most money on the matter of competing with us for the Wharf.
I suspect that before this, the mysterious funds from Japan were probably mobilized by Chu Huan!"
Bao Yugang smiled bitterly again. Wu Guangzheng had already guessed this matter without analyzing it. After smiling bitterly, Bao Yugang told Wu Guangzheng: "It's good that we know this matter ourselves. When we see Chu Huan in the future, we must be careful
Don’t say it out loud, there is no right or wrong in this matter, you have to understand that if we were put in Chu Huan’s perspective, we would do the same thing ourselves!”
Wu Guangzheng nodded, he understood what Bao Yugang meant, but it still felt bad to be kept in the dark and let people calculate.
But it was just a short-term dissatisfaction. As Bao Yugang said, anyone would do this kind of thing!
"This time the Keswick family is afraid that they are in danger. They have just invested all their funds in fighting us for the Wharf. Although they have obtained some funds through transactions with us, most of their funds are at this time
Before they can find a way to withdraw, Chu Huan has already launched the acquisition of Jardine and Land, and they have no way to resist Chu Huan's acquisition!"
Bao Yu just nodded, but still said worriedly: "If we only consider business factors, the Keswick family will definitely lose this time, but if other factors besides business appear, it will be hard to say!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wu Guangzheng was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Bao Yugang meant, "Daddy, do you mean that the Hong Kong government and even the British side will intervene in this matter?"
Bao Yugang nodded and said: "This possibility is very high. After all, Yihe is the face of the British consortium in Xiangjiang. Now Yinglun and his hometown have been secretly fighting over the ownership of Xiangjiang. Chu Huan wants to get Yihe.
Land purchase is not that easy!”
Wu Guangzheng said: "However, Chu Huan now dares to make such a straightforward announcement about the acquisition of Jardine and Land, which shows that he must have a strategy to deal with it!"
Bao Yugang smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know. I really can't see through A Huan's thoughts now."
Wu Guang was sitting there with a somewhat complicated mood. He thought that he was still excited about their completion of the acquisition of Wharf yesterday, but today Chu Huan announced the acquisition of the largest British-funded consortium in Hong Kong.
Comparing the two sides, my side seems a bit unsatisfactory!
No matter in terms of acquisition scale or funding!
Bao Yugang stood up at this time and said to Wu Guangzheng: "Well, this matter is Ah Huan's own matter after all. The most important thing for us now is to solve our own matters first, although we have completed the attack on Wharf
Acquisition, but now there is still a lot of finishing work to be done!”
Wu Guangzheng also put away the shock in his heart. As Bao Yugang said, no matter how shocking Chu Huan's acquisition of Jardine and Land was, it was the other party's business, and they themselves also had their own concerns.
The more important thing is to complete the final battle of the acquisition of Wharf.
However, Bao Yugang, who was about to leave, suddenly said to Wu Guangzheng: "By the way, according to our estimates, the acquisition of Wharf will be completed this morning. Then you can help me make an appointment with the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose!"
Wu Guangzheng was a little curious about his father-in-law's behavior and asked: "Dad, we have completed the acquisition of Wharf, why do we still need to meet with MacLehose?"
Bao Yugang said calmly: "No matter what, A Huan always helped us a lot to successfully acquire Wharf. At this time, we should also help him. After the acquisition of Wharf is completed, there will definitely be
There are a lot of things to deal with, and I have no way to leave Xiangjiang. There is nothing I can do in London to help, so I can only contribute here in Xiangjiang!"
In addition, yesterday Henry Keswick sold part of their Wharf stocks to Bao Yugang. When Bao Yugang asked Chu Huan about this matter, Chu Huan also expressed his approval.
This point alone makes Bao Yugang admire him very much. After all, such a transaction will give Henry Keswick more funds!
Wu Guangzheng had no objection to Bao Yugang's decision. After all, if Chu Huan really successfully completed the acquisition of Jardine and Land, then from now on, the business community in Xiangjiang would really enter Chu Huan's era.
"Understood!"
.
"So this is what Ah Huan was thinking about, I finally understand!"
The hearty laughter of Tsar Huo came from the living room of the Huo family's ancestral residence. At this time, he was holding a copy of "True Report" in his hand.
"Sir, breakfast is ready!" the servant came to Tsar Huo to report.
Huo Shahuang waved his hands with a smile on his face and said: "We'll talk about it later. Give Ating a call and ask him to come back...Forget it, I'll make the call myself!"
After saying that, Emperor Huo personally dialed the number at Huo Zhenting's residence. After a while, Huo Zhenting answered the phone, his voice still sounded like he was awake.
"Daddy, what's wrong? Has Bao Yugang completed the acquisition of Wharf?"
Obviously, Huo Zhenting thought that this was what Prince Huo called him so early.
"Get up from your bed immediately and come to me with the "True Report"!"
Emperor Huo is a little dissatisfied with Huo Zhenting's current situation. Chu Huan has already begun the acquisition of Jardine and Land, and his son is still lying in bed. This makes Emperor Huo very dissatisfied!
Listening to Li's busy signal on the phone, Huo Zhenting was speechless for a while. He didn't know what happened to make his father so excited.
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Lingling, who was lying next to Huo Zhenting, also opened her eyes and asked Huo Zhenting curiously.
Huo Zhenting shook his head and said in confusion: "I don't know, daddy told me to buy a copy of "True News" and go home quickly. It seems like something big has happened!"
Hearing what Huo Zhenting said, Zhu Lingling nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She now fully understood her situation in the Huo family.
She works hard to carry on the ancestral lineage of the Huo family, accompanying Huo Zhenting to attend various activities on weekdays, and maintains a good image as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Guo family.
Huo Zhenting thought of his father's instructions and did not take a shower. He simply brushed his teeth and washed his face, and then hurried out of the house.
When he saw everyone at the roadside newsstand standing there as if frozen, looking at the newspapers in their hands, Huo Zhenting knew that something big must have happened.
Without the slightest hesitation, I immediately took the money to buy a copy of "Zhen Bao", but was told by the newsstand owner that I couldn't buy it.
Helpless, Huo Zhenting had no choice but to sell a copy of "Tian Tian Daily", and then he saw the same front page headline as "True Daily" on "Tian Tian Daily".
Then, Huo Zhenting stood there frozen like other readers.
However, after all, Huo Zhenting's psychological quality is much stronger than that of ordinary readers. After experiencing a short period of sluggishness, Huo Zhenting immediately got into his car and drove towards the Huo family's old house.
"Daddy, daddy!"
After arriving at the old house, Huo Zhenting found his father impatiently, but Emperor Huo did not reprimand him for his panic.
"This is real?"
Huo Zhenting held the newspaper in his hand and asked his father eagerly. Even though he knew that Chu Huan had already stated this through the newspaper and it couldn't be false, he still wanted to confirm it again with Huo Tsar Huang!
Emperor Huo nodded and said: "This can no longer be false."
Huo Zhenting said immediately: "But if this is the case, the Hong Kong government will definitely not stand idly by. Jardine and Land are of great significance to them."
Huo Shahuang said: "You have thought of it, and I believe everyone else who saw the news has also thought of it, and A Huan must have thought of it too, but even so, he still did it. I think he must be responsible for this matter."
I already have a comprehensive idea!”
Huo Zhenting looked at Huo Tsarhuang expectantly and asked, "Daddy, have you called Ah Huan?"
Emperor Huo shook his head and said: "No, calling A Huan at this time is actually not that important. What is more important is how to help A Huan solve the problem in Xiangjiang!"
Huo Tsar Huang has been in Hong Kong for decades. Although he was targeted by the Hong Kong government many times during this period, it was precisely because of such targeting that Huo Tsar Huang understood that his influence in Hong Kong's political circles was weak. Therefore, even the dozen or so people like Huo Tsar Huang
The year has started to become low-key, but in fact, Tsar Huo still managed some of his own connections in the Hong Kong government!
Emperor Huo took out a piece of paper from his coat pocket, handed it to Huo Zhenting, and then said: "These people are all more or less related to our family's business. Contact them and tell them. Just say
That’s what I mean, I don’t ask them to do anything for Ah Huan in this matter, but at least they can’t stand in the way of this matter!”
Huo Zhenting was shocked by Huo Tsarhuang's actions. Huo Zhenting naturally knew that Huo Tsarhuang had his own connections in the Hong Kong government, but this kind of connections should definitely be used once and less. Now Huo Tsarhuang has not contacted Chu Huan.
, they had already decided to use their family’s connections in the Hong Kong government.
Such a move......
"Daddy, should we call A Huan? I believe he must have his own plan. If we act rashly at this time, what if we disrupt A Huan's plan?"
Tsar Huo waved his hand and said: "It won't be disrupted. Only the greater the influence of this kind of thing, can it force the Hong Kong government to submit. Otherwise, if they really decide to implement some policies first and later, then everything will be too late."
Huo Zhenting was still a little hesitant.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Huo glared at Huo Zhenting and said, "What are you still waiting for? Go quickly!"
Huo Zhenting didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly got up to do this.
Looking at Huo Zhenting's leaving figure, Emperor Huo shook his head slightly. He was still too young to see the essence of the matter. As long as Chu Huan completes the acquisition of Yihe and Land, then Chu Huan will officially take a seat in the business world of Xiangjiang.
Now that he is on the throne, Chu Huan's status in Hong Kong will not change no matter whether it is the Hong Kong government or the British government, or even if Xiangjiang returns in the future.
Emperor Huo understands his situation. Now because of his existence, his hometown takes great care of the Huo family. But in the future, even after a hundred years, his hometown will still remember his actions and treat the Huo family.
They take great care of them, but if they want the Huo family to continue to maintain a transcendent status in Xiangjiang, the relationship between them and Chu Huan can only become closer and closer!
Especially now, if Chu Huan completes the acquisition of Yihe and Land, then the entire Jiaku system will actually be the biggest help to stabilize the order of Xiangjiang in his hometown in the future!
.
Li Jiacheng was sitting in the car. The car was slowly driving towards the Changshi headquarters. Next to Li Jiacheng's seat was a copy of today's "True Report".
Chinese Real Estate announced the acquisition of Jardine Matheson Land, and the statement came to mind.
In fact, Li Jiacheng had already seen the contents of the newspaper while eating breakfast, but he still couldn't help but take the newspaper with him.
In the entire Xiangjiang, the only one who guessed Chu Huan's thoughts was probably Li Jiacheng. Although others had some vague ideas, they were never as sure as Li Jiacheng.
But even so, after seeing the news today, Li Jiacheng was extremely shocked.
"I didn't expect Chu Huan to actually take action!"
Li Jiacheng had to admit that Chu Huan had seized the opportunity very well to take action. It could be said that this was the time when the Keswick family was at its weakest.
In fact, everyone paid their attention to the front page headline of "True News" today, which caused many people to ignore one thing, that is, on the headline of "True News"'s supplement, Bao's story was published
statement.
They completed the acquisition plan of Wharf last night.
"To complete the acquisition plan of Wharf, Bao must have bought part of Wharf's shares from Henry Keswick, but this amount of money must not be enough to make up for the competition between Henry Keswick and Chu Huan for Jardine and Land.
The gap in this battle.
In order to acquire shares of Wharf, Henry Keswick had borrowed money from all the institutions around him that could lend money. Now he must not be able to turn over much money.
No, Henry Keswick dared to purchase Wharf shares in such a large amount before. Does this mean that he will definitely have a sum of funds in his account in the future?
But this is still not enough. The size of Wharf cannot be compared with Jardine Matheson and Land. In other words, no matter how you think about this matter, from a business perspective, Henry Keswick cannot defeat Chu Huan!
"
Li Jiacheng picked up the "True Report" placed next to him again and read the contents word for word.
To put it bluntly, Li Jiacheng's heart was full of jealousy and envy at this time.
No businessman in Xiangjiang can refuse the possibility of acquiring Jardine Matheson and Land.
But before that, all of them could only think about it, but now Chu Huan has already started to take action.
"Chairman!"
Li Jiacheng, who had just gotten off the bus, saw his right-hand men, Sheng Songsheng and Zhou Qianhe.
Both of them also held a copy of "True Report" in their hands.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Do you both know?"
Li Jiacheng asked.
The two nodded, and Sheng Songsheng exclaimed: "I didn't expect that Chu Huan actually wanted to acquire Jardine and Land, and also spent 8.1 billion Hong Kong dollars. According to the announcement, if the Keswick family wants to compete with Chu Huan for Jardine and Land,
They would have to spend at least 1 billion Hong Kong dollars to control the company, and now even if they sell Keswick they won’t be able to raise that much money!”
Li Jiacheng waved his hand and said: "Now this acquisition is no longer a commercial acquisition, and its determining factors are outside of business."
As the first two generals of Li Jiacheng's business team, Sheng Songsheng and Zhou Qianhe naturally understood what Li Jiacheng meant.
Zhou Qianhe couldn't help but ask: "Chu Huan is so confident that he can win against the Keswick family?"
"We don't know Chu Huan's true strength, but we all believe in Chu Huan's strength. In such a sensational acquisition, Chu Huan dares to take the lead in fighting, which means that he must have a complete response strategy. This acquisition
I’m afraid that Xiangjiang is really going to change!”
Li Jiacheng led the two of them towards the elevator, but there was still shock in his eyes.
Sheng Songsheng and Zhou Qianhe also looked at each other. They were simply surprised that they were so surprised. The pressure brought by Yihe and Land to the Xiangjiang business community was really too great.
"Chairman, do you think HSBC will support the Keswick family at this time?"
Sheng Songsheng couldn't help but ask.
Now in Xiangjiang, the only one they can think of that might help the Keswick family avoid being acquired this time is HSBC!
Li Jiacheng shook his head and said: "It's difficult. This is not one billion, but two billion Hong Kong dollars. HSBC can come up with it if it works hard. This is more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash. This money falls on HSBC, and HSBC cannot bear it."
Yes, so in the end the only thing that can possibly solve this matter for the Keswick family is political factors, and there is no force in the business world that can resist Chu Huan!"
Zhou Qianhe shook his head and said: "This is too exaggerated. Although everyone knows that Chu Huan has been coveting Yihe and Land, but now he is purchasing it personally, even if I have read the newspaper, I can't confirm it 100%
!”
Sheng Songsheng asked Li Jiacheng tentatively: "Chairman, would you like to call Chu Huan and ask in person?"
Li Jiacheng took off his coat, put it on the hanger in his office, and said with a smile: "This is not the time for us to call Chu Huan."
Zhou Qianhe asked: "Even if Chu Huan can't pick it up, his secretary Xu Yi will definitely be able to pick it up!"
Li Jiacheng waved his hands and said: "That's not what I meant. The reason why I didn't call Chu Huan is that we have no reason to call Chu Huan at this time, because we can't actually help Chu Huan in this matter, and Chu Huan
He may not need help at this time, but more importantly, he doesn't need to receive inquiries from us at this time."
At this point, Li Jiacheng sat in his seat and said: "Whether it's a congratulatory call or a comforting call, we have to wait until this matter is over before we call Chu Huan again!"
Sheng Songwen asked: "Then we will do nothing now?"
Li Jiacheng said: "Of course we have to do it. You should go and do your own things first. I have to make a few calls. Although we can't provide any help to Chu Huan in terms of the decisive factor, there are some minor details.
You can still do the corner stuff!”
Li Jiacheng is a good dancer. Although he has said many times in later generations that business should stay away from politics, in fact, Li Jiacheng has very good political connections whether in Xiangjiang or in his hometown. Otherwise, he would not be able to deal with every big storm.
He got out of it and even made a lot of money.
Now, like Tsar Huo, he is also preparing to lend his connections in the Hong Kong government to Chu Huan.
At the same time, he also understood that even if he didn't say anything about it, Chu Huan would definitely know about it in the end.
In fact, there are many people who have the same actions as Huo Tsarhuang, Li Jiacheng, and Bao Yugang.
Kwok Desheng of Sun Hung Kai.
Zheng Yutong in the new world.
Jian Yueqiang is retired at home.
Dong Haoyun of Eastern Shipping Lines.
.......
While these people were on the phone, Chu Huan arrived at the Chinese Bank on time as usual. As for the reporters from Xiangjiang who were already crazy, they had already surrounded the gate of the Chinese Bank at this time.
The water was flowing, and everyone was stimulated by the news.
They wanted to get a specific answer from Chu Huan as soon as possible, but obviously they were disappointed.
Chu Huan took the car directly to the underground parking lot of Chinatown and took the elevator of the underground parking lot to his office.
Wen Mingzhang from Chinese Real Estate was already waiting for Chu Huan at the door of Chu Huan's office. When he saw Chu Huan arriving, he immediately stepped forward.
"Chairman, regarding this exclusive interview at noon today, I think it's up to you to do it in person, right?"
Such big news as Chinese Real Estate's acquisition of Jardine and Land cannot be solved by just reading in the newspaper, so Chu Huan also arranged a live interview with Wen Mingzhang on TVB in order to reaffirm Chinese Real Estate's determination to acquire Jardine and Land.
Chu Huanxiao looked at Wen Mingzhang and said: "If you are asked to do this, just do it. And even if I want to accept an exclusive interview, I don't have the time!"
This matter will definitely alarm the Hong Kong government, and the Hong Kong government will definitely make an appointment with Chu Huan as soon as possible.
Therefore, the only way to deal with external matters is Wen Mingzhang of Chinese Real Estate!
Just after Chu Huan finished talking to Wen Mingzhang, the phone on his desk rang. It was a call from the Hong Kong Governor's Office...
