Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 768 The stalk of the charter king

   The attack by Zheng Hiquan and others did not cause much damage to Bao, at most the stock price fell and the company lost a little of its market value.

   Yang Chen has been walking along the way, and the charter king has supported him in the early days, and there is a lot of love there. No matter how big or small, Zheng Hiquan and others can't really make a ruthless attack, and they have a good grasp of the proportion.

   It not only made Pao feel pain, but also prevented him from hurting his muscles and bones, resulting in an irreversible situation for both parties.

   Seeing his father-in-law shaking his head, Wu Zhengguang hesitated and said, "Dad, I don't think it's like that General Manager Li decided on his own."

   "Oh?" The charter king looked up at his son-in-law, "What do you think about this?"

Wu Zhengguang said solemnly: "Dad, this matter is obvious now, Ah Chen doesn't know the reason, but he is determined to take advantage of the news of the British government's defeat to bring down Yihe in one fell swoop, and even put Yihe down. He Group was uprooted from Hong Kong.

   Judging from the actions of Hang Seng Bank and Ah Chen’s subsidiaries, Ah Chen seems to have anticipated everything and made full preparations in advance, so that all of us were caught off guard in such a short period of time…”

   To be honest, Wu Zhengguang was actually quite surprised by Yang Chen's generous actions by Xiang Yihe.

   At the beginning of the Wharf War, he participated in the whole process. He knew how much his father-in-law had worked hard to grab the Wharf.

   If it weren't for the help of Shen Daban from HSBC, the Wharf that Bao wanted to win would definitely not be an easy task.

   Wharf is still like this, not to mention the foundation of Jardine Matheson, Jardine Matheson and Landmark.

  There are so many companies in the Yihe family, and they have a profound background, which is beyond the comparison of ordinary consortiums.

   However, it was such a giant who was stunned by a punch in just one afternoon.

  The so-called, gods fight, mortals suffer.

   Fortunately, the Bao family is not a mortal person, and he has a few pounds of meat.

   From Yang Chen all the way up, everything he does and does basically follows a principle, that is, if you don't make a move, it will be a thunderbolt.

   This time, obviously the same as before.

  To be honest, the charter king is now facing this matter, and it is also a severe headache.

  Wu Zhengguang was naturally aware of his father-in-law's troubles, so he expressed his own thoughts, "Dad, what we are thinking about now is not why Achen turned his face, but how we should stand by."

   "Achen and Yihe, who do we support next? It's about the relationship between us and Achen next."

   "Achen didn't make it clear to us before, maybe he was afraid of leaking the news, but now Hang Seng has taken action. The series of actions this afternoon are just a reminder."

  The charter king frowned when he heard the words.

  As the famous world ship king, the charter king naturally has his own pride. If it were changed to the past, he probably wouldn't think about anything else, and he would just go straight to it.

   Now, this person can't accept his old age.

   The back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and the front waves died on the beach.

   He has to think about his daughters and sons-in-law in the future, so as to avoid the decline of the Bao family in a hundred years.

   This kind of thing, it is about people who are in the relationship, and when people are not there, then it is people who take tea and cool down.

  The charter king asked his son-in-law seriously, "Do you think Ah Chen is confident this time?"

  Wu Zhengguang: "I don't dare to say 100%, but there is still great hope, especially this afternoon, until now, neither HSBC nor Standard Chartered have responded.

   And I also got a piece of news that this afternoon, people from the Jardine family took out loans from two banks, but both HSBC and Standard Chartered refused directly.

  At the same time, there was also news from Singapore and London that Jardine Group’s companies listed on the two stock exchanges were shorted by a mysterious force at the same time…”

  The charter king heard the words and couldn't help but be surprised: "Achen has also started in Singapore and London?"

Wu Zhengguang said with admiration: "Yes, Dad, news came from the Singapore and London stock markets this afternoon that the listed companies under the Jardine Group were shorted by a large number of funds at the same time, and their stock prices plummeted as much as the Hong Kong side. How much.

   Especially in London, Achen made a lot of money in the London stock market before, and now he has acquired the largest military enterprise in the UK. It is said that before that, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher personally invited Achen to be a guest in Downing Street.

After   , Achen announced an investment plan of tens of billions of dollars, bringing together several great dukes and nobles in the United Kingdom and setting up a joint venture company to inject capital into the privatization reform company launched by the British government. "

   The "Ten Billion Dollar Investment Plan" charter king muttered to himself, then his expression changed, and he said angrily: "That stinky boy can put out so much money all at once, obviously he made a lot of money in the London stock market.

   Before, you, Uncle Huo and others, each invested 30 million US dollars. It has been so long, and we have not seen him give us rebates. Now it seems that the guy must have done it on purpose. "

   Isn't that intentional?

   If Yang Chen had returned the money earned in the London stock market to the charter king and others earlier, then with several times the income, the charter king and others would definitely not experience financial pressure due to the turmoil in the Hong Kong stock market.

  30 million US dollars, even if the profit is tripled, the principal plus the tripled profit, it adds up to 130 million US dollars.

   At the current exchange rate of Hong Kong dollar and US dollar, it is almost a billion in revenue. With this capital, what difficulties could the charter king and others not be able to overcome?

   "Dad, I'm afraid you have wronged Ah Chen on this point. From what I know about him, if the money he earned in London could be transferred, I'm afraid he would have taken the money and left."

   "Uh" The charter king was dumbfounded when he heard the words.

After being reminded by his son-in-law, the charter king also suddenly woke up, thinking of the difficulty behind this matter, then a large amount of cash outflow, not to mention the British Empire, is one of the two powerhouses, the old beauty, and it is impossible to do it. look.

In particular, the UK's economic development has stagnated, and it is in the midst of the great transformation of the century. At this time, what the UK lacks most is funds, and the tens of billions of dollars investment plan. It is not so much that Yang Chen is optimistic about the next reform of the United Kingdom, it is better to say that the United Kingdom will be affected by it. The government is forcing investment, forcing the other side to support British change.

  Thinking of this, the stalk in the charter king's heart disappeared immediately, and now he finally understood why Yang Chen dared to openly attack the Yihe Group.

   This is not only the fact that the other party has abundant capital, but at the same time, I am afraid that there is a little bit of fearlessness. It has recognized the British government's actions outside the United Kingdom and will not interfere arbitrarily.

   After all, no one knows whether the next reforms in the UK will be successful, and whether the investment of tens of billions of dollars will eventually go to waste.

   This point undoubtedly made Yang Chen take a huge risk.

  In this way, if the other party can take this opportunity to swallow the Jardine Group, then even if the British reform fails, its losses can be made up for the Jardine Group.

  …
