The flowers bloom in two, one on each branch.

When Charles Keswick returned to the family, he told his father John Keswick the truth, and asked the family to inject a sum of money to save the city.

John Keswick is 62 years old and has two sons, the eldest son Henry and the second son Charles.

John Sr. took over the patriarchship from his cousin, and the Jardine Matheson Consortium flourished in his hands, and after the company went public in 1961, it developed rapidly and its assets continued to expand, establishing itself as the first British-funded consortium in the Far East.

It's a pity that although old John was capable when he was young, he was romantic, and he only had his first son in middle age, and now although he is only 61 years old, his health is very poor, and even from five or six years ago his health has been very poor.

And the two sons could not take up the big responsibility, and the old John was selfish, and did not want to give the position of head of the family to others, but only wanted to choose an heir from the two sons.

Taking precautions, John Sr. put his henchmen in the position of president of Jardine Matheson Group, and placed other henchmen in other core enterprises, while he commanded remotely, and recuperated in order to live for a few more years, until his two sons became successful and took over.

Although he no longer manages the business himself, John Sr. also knows a lot about the various companies within the Jardine Matheson Consortium.

It was he who judged that the air transport industry in Xiangjiang was promising, so he invited the governor of Hong Kong, and finally won the exclusive right to operate the air transport industry through a secret transaction, which led to the emergence of today's Jardine Air Cargo Company.

At this time, when he heard the second son talk about the situation, old John, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, had a calm face and asked, "How much money do you need?"

Charles Keswick thought for a while and said: "There is still 14 million funds within the company, and other directors have also provided funds before I came, so I think we should be able to come up with 50 million." ”

After saying that, Charles Keswick looked at his father expectantly.

When Old John heard this, he shook his head slowly, but when Charles Keswick was disappointed, he said: "You think too simply, don't think about other directors, it's stupid to put your hopes on others, I will allocate 100 million funds to you, in the name of Jardine Pacific, into the account of the cargo station company, entrust the cargo station company to buy shares, and declare to the outside world that the company will buy back shares, understand?"

"In addition, contact other shareholders to buy their shares!"

Charles Keswick was delighted and a little confused at the same time, he didn't know what his father was doing with such a complicated matter, he opened his mouth and was about to ask, but Old John shook his head and interrupted him: "You go back to the company now, do what I say, report to me immediately if there is a special situation, and the funds will soon be credited to the account of the cargo station company." ”

"Good father!"

Charles Keswick nodded respectfully, and quickly left the living room.

As soon as Charles Keswick went out, Old John picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Hey, I'm John Keswick, you send someone to immediately transfer 100 million funds......

Putting down the phone, Old John's cloudy eyes sharpened, and he smelled the smell of conspiracy.

For Jiuding Securities Company and Xia Yu, a newly rising Chinese billionaire, of course John knows, and he also knows what kind of power Xia Yu's energy will be in the stock market.

When Charles reported to him just now, he suspected that it was Jiuding Securities, but Old John didn't say much, but instantly it was definitely Jiuding Securities.

At that time, a sense of crisis lingered in his heart, which was an intuition honed by his years of hard work in the business world, so he knew that there must still be danger.

For the motive and purpose of Jiuding Securities, Old John has a guess, but he is not sure, but in his opinion, it will definitely not be as simple as suppressing the stock price or shorting.

Now Jardine Pacific owns 35.85% of the shares of Jardine Air Cargo Terminals, and Jardine Pacific is 100% controlled by the Keswick family, so the equity belonging to the Keswick family is 35.85%.

This equity ratio can only be regarded as average for controlling the company's security, and the safest way is to increase the equity ratio to more than 50%.

JHL is a dominant structure, and the other directors do not have much equity in their hands, and if you add the equity in the hands of other shareholders, the entire board of directors has about 49% of the shares.

But John Sr. knows very well the complexity of people's hearts, and in the face of money, there is a great possibility of betrayal by other directors, so the safest and safest way is to have absolute control himself.

It is precisely this consideration that he said that he would buy the stock in the actual name of Jardine Pacific, and the capital of 100 million yuan was also to be foolproof.

After all, 35.85% is still 14.15% away from the 50% holding line, and if the least desirable thing happens, then the share price of Jardine Air Cargo will definitely soar, and by that time, 50 million funds are really sure that it will be enough!

He knew that Jiuding Securities had just raised 600 million Hong Kong dollars!

Such a large sum of money is too threatening!

"Hope isn't the worst......"

Old John let out a long breath, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes again.

......

Charles Keswick rushed back to the company with excitement, just in time to see Barton Hardeman and others who had finished the press conference with a black face.

After a brief exchange of situations, Barton Hardeman breathed a sigh of relief, and then said quickly: "Charles, time is urgent, I have already contacted the securities company, now we hurry over." ”

When Charles and the others rushed to Eddy Securities, President Eddie immediately greeted him and said, "Mr. Barton, Mr. Charles, hello!"

"Charles, this is Eddie Roman, the founder of Eddy Securities!"

Worried that Charles didn't know Eddie, Barton Hardeman hurriedly introduced.

"Hello Mr. Addy, I'm going to trouble you this time!"

Charles Keswick shook Eddie's hand and said.

"You're welcome, this is what I'm supposed to do!"

Eddie said politely.

After a few polite words, Eddie immediately took Charles and Barton to the place where they operated, introducing the specific situation as they went.

"We are ready, just waiting for your funds, now the stock price has fallen to 9.12 Hong Kong dollars per share, if we don't resist, according to the strength of the other party, we can fall below 9 Hong Kong dollars in five minutes at most!"

"I don't know how much money you have prepared?

"There is no need for leverage, the funds will arrive immediately, and 100 million funds are definitely enough!"

Charles refused without hesitation.

Eddie was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of admiration, and his attitude was more respectful.

Seeing Eddie's changes, Charles felt a surge of pride in his heart.

To be on the safe side, he doesn't plan to use financial leverage, and the allocation of funds also requires certain procedures, he doesn't want to waste time waiting, he wants to start working right now and clean up the other party!

Soon, the funds were in place, Charles and Barton looked at each other, and immediately said, "Do it!"

With Charles's order, the operators who had been ready for a long time immediately started to pay the bill.

Charles Keswick clenched his fists and smiled confidently.

It's a pity that Charles Keswick was happy too early, in less than two minutes, just after acquiring less than ten lots, the stock price began to rise, and the increase seemed to start to increase, Charles just wanted to laugh happily, but saw Eddie Roman frowning, Charles couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
