Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

  Chapter 769 The conditions of the charter king

After making up a bunch of guesses on his own, the charter king took a sigh of relief, looked at his son-in-law, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "You will call Hang Seng's general manager Li later and tell him that if he wants to The shares of Landmark and Jardine held by Wharf, as well as the shares of Landmark I personally hold, let him show sincerity and buy back at the previous share price..."

  When the charter king abandoned his ship and docked two years ago, his target was Jardine's real estate company, Wharf and Landmark, the two most important subsidiaries of Jardine.

   Compared with Wharf, Landmark is undoubtedly the most attractive. Landmark occupies the most golden land in Hong Kong and is the largest land king in Hong Kong. It is a big piece of fat in the eyes of everyone.

   As long as there is an opportunity, no one will miss it.

  At the beginning, if it wasn't for Li Chaoren who sold the shares of Wharf in his hand to the charter king, it might have become the focus of contention between the two sides.

  Unfortunately, time waits for no one.

   Although Wharf is not as good as Landmark, it is not bad, especially Wharf can complement the global shipping in the hands of the charter king.

  The famous ship king of the world, if there is no ship, it will become an empty title. Compared with the two, for the charter king, Wharf is actually a port, in fact, it is more suitable for his strategy of abandoning ships and docking.

   With the loss of Wharf, Jardine also realized the crisis and began to buy back the company's shares aggressively.

   In addition to the Jardine Group, the company that holds the most shares of Jardine and Landmark in the Hong Kong realm is undoubtedly the Wharf, the most important subsidiary of the Jardine Department in the past.

  If the Jardine family shares can be sold at the normal price, then the Bao family can not only continue to maintain the relationship with Yang Chen, but also obtain a considerable amount of cash, which can be used to relieve the current financial pressure of the company.

   kills two birds with one stone, and it can be said that everyone is happy.

  The charter king, who has always acted resolutely and resolutely, after explaining that his son-in-law called Li Guowei to discuss it, he picked up the phone and started calling a group of old friends.

In the Chinese capital circle, there are very few people who can not sell the face of the charter king, especially in the city of Xiangjiang, which is extremely dependent on import and export. Among the Chinese bosses, there is almost no one who does not owe a favor to the charter king.

  The charter king came forward to take the lead, and the others naturally gave a lot of face.

   Of course, the stock price of the Jardine series must be indispensable here. Now it is in a situation of plummeting. No one knows whether Jardine can support it in the future.

   However, one thing is very clear to everyone, that is, based on the current situation, even if the Jardine Department can escape the catastrophe this time, the market value of its industries will shrink significantly.

   As a result, the stocks they hold, properly, will only continue to fall, and it is impossible to return to the original price, let alone continue to grow.

Those who can make a career in this era are all talented people. Selling the shares in their hands not only gives face to the charter king, but also makes Hang Seng owe favor. At the same time, they can also get a sum of cash to alleviate the pressure from the environment.

   Three birds with one stone, there is almost nothing to consider, all the Chinese bigwigs holding the shares of Jardine Group are waiting for the contact of Hang Seng Bank one by one.

  There is a saying that the king of chartering ships, they are not afraid of Li Guowei and others deliberately lowering the price. To tell the truth at this time, Li Guowei and others dare not lower the price.

After all, the two companies, Jardine Matheson and Landmark, hold 40% of each other's shares. If they dare to lower the price, then they will directly turn around and sell the shares to Jardine, then this carefully planned layout will fail. .

  Hang Seng Bank Tower

  Although it was already late at night, Li Guowei and the others did not go home alone, they all had a meeting in the conference room to discuss things.

   After some discussion, Huo Jianhuo suggested: "It's a lot of dreams. I think I should send someone to the shareholders' homes immediately and sign the share transfer agreement, so as not to have too many dreams."

Zheng Hiquan answered in a timely manner: "That's right, if tomorrow the senior class king of New Bijian realizes our goal, he will definitely repurchase the shares of the Jardine company. Shares fell by nearly half.

  Tomorrow, we must acquire the circulating stocks in the market as soon as possible, and then quickly raise the stock price. The capital chain of Jardine was exhausted due to the previous acquisition of Hong Kong Electric Lighting and Telephone.

   Next, you only need to raise the share price of Jardine and return to the normal level, then with the current capital situation of Jardine, it is not bad to be able to repurchase the shares of Jardine Matheson or one of Landmark.

  Even if we can’t swallow Jardine this time, it’s enough to knock it down from the position of the four major foreign firms in Xiangjiang, and then slowly nibble away…”

   In dealing with the Jardine Group, none of Zheng Haiquan and others dared to ignore it. As a large consortium that has passed down for more than a hundred years, the heritage of Jardine is not comparable to that of ordinary Chinese consortiums.

   Think back to when Jardine was evacuated from the inland. In the case of heavy losses, it recovered after decades, and even extended its business to Southeast Asia and other regions.

   Such an old-fashioned foreign firm, under normal circumstances, no one dares to provoke it easily.

   Let alone move.

   However, there is a saying that is good.

Out to mix, sooner or later have to repay.

  The dirty things that Yihe did in the early years made Yihe very sensitive to the trend of the inland.

   A few years ago, when the inland reformed and opened up, there was just a hint of the idea of ​​recovering the Xiangjiang River. Yihe was so frightened that he was in a hurry, and the Wharf was taken away by the charter king.

   The same is true now. Once the inland resolve to recover Xiangjiang, Yihe became frightened again and became uneasy, and began to think about the plan to move out of Xiangjiang.

   In this way, it also gave Zheng Hiquan and others an excellent opportunity.

  Although there is an opportunity, but whether it can win Jardine in the end, to be honest, no one in Zheng Hiquan's group dares to pat on the chest to guarantee.

   After all, in addition to the major shareholder family behind Jardine, other British-owned consortiums also occupy a lot of the shares of Jardine.

  Under the influence of the general environment, although the British-funded consortium is too busy to take care of itself, this does not mean that the British-funded group will watch Jardine completely fall down and have no chance to turn over.

  The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. After all, Yihe is one of the four major foreign companies. Who can guarantee that after Yihe falls, Yang Chen will not do anything to them.

You must know that in the current Xiangjiang, the strength of Chinese capital is not weak. Once Jardine falls, Yang Chen, the new richest Chinese man, should join all Chinese capital to launch an attack on British capital, then with the current complicated situation, British capital will not necessarily resist. live.

  The best result is a lose-lose situation.
