When John Keswick returned to his lodgings, he found his eldest son, Henry, already waiting there.

When he saw his father's relaxed expression, Henry Keswick couldn't help but smile expectantly and asked, "Father, did you succeed?"

"Well, Li Yao agreed! Now you can arrange someone to sign the contract!"

Old John sat down and said, his tone equally lighthearted.

"It's great, to get the shares in Temasek Holdings, plus our original shares, we have a 44.19% stake! ”

Henry Keswick said with a smile, a heart that had been hanging for many days was slightly relaxed.

Old John also smiled when he heard this data.

The absolute holding line in the bureau is less than 6%, which is much safer than being more than 10% worse than the absolute holding line.

"Then father, after we take the stock, do we want to announce the news to the public?"

Henry Keswick asked.

Old John smiled restricted, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Don't announce it to the public, since it has reached this level, it doesn't matter whether the stock price is suppressed or not, the important thing is to complete the absolute control first, and then give them a fatal blow." ”

"I have already talked to Li Yao, and after we take the stake, Temasek Holdings will continue to negotiate with Jiuding Securities to confuse them. ”

Henry Keswick thought for a moment when he heard this, and nodded in agreement.

He will not forget that Xia Yu wants to take control of Jardine Machinery Group from them, and if the equity is exposed, there may be two situations.

Either to scare Xia Yu off and hit the estimate, or to force Xia Yu to go completely crazy and grab the stock at all costs.

If it is the second possibility, then it will be very detrimental to them.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, it is better to temporarily hide in the dark, the enemy is in the dark, take the initiative, and finally launch a fatal blow to completely repel Xia Yu, the aggressor.

When the situation reverses, it will be much more convenient to clean up Xia Yu!

......

Old John and his son thought so well, but they didn't know that Xia Yu already knew that they had won the equity in the hands of Temasek Holdings.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu saw Wang Qi's inquiring eyes and said lightly: "It depends on the situation, the shares in the hands of Temasek Holdings have been taken by the Keswick family. “

Although he had a premonition, when he heard the news from the boss, Wang Qi's heart couldn't help but sink, and his fists clenched unconsciously.

This is bad news, and it washes away their good mood of taking the shares in the hands of the Bank of China.

After all, they won the shares in the hands of the Bank of China, which only accounted for 2.54% of the total share capital.

However, the Keswicks won 5.24%, more than twice as much.

As a result, the gap between the two is widened, and it is likely to have a negative impact on the plan!

"Boss, are we going to find a way to get another shareholder?"

Wang Qi asked respectfully.

Xia Yu frowned slightly, and his brain turned wildly.

Empathy and taking the stake in Temasek Holdings, the Keswick family will definitely breathe a sigh of relief, which is not what Xia Yu wants to see.

If the Keswicks are not in a hurry, then how can they be forced to buy the equity in his hands?

Even if Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang and others are about to take action soon, the threat given to the Keswick family by the Galaxy Fund is not enough, and it may go through some twists and turns if they want to achieve their goals.

This is absolutely not a no-go!

The time must be forced for the Keswick family to put the preservation of the Jardine Machine Group in the first place, then the Keswick family must be given enough threat!

"Then take another shareholder!"

Xia Yu's eyes became sharp, and he said in a deep voice.

Wang Qi's spirit was shocked, and he blurted out: "Boss, which one do we take?"

Now there are four difficult shareholders left, namely Cummins Inc., which holds 6.37% of the shares, Nomura Securities, which holds 4.99%, Daiwa Securities, which owns 2.76%, and Goldman Sachs, which holds 2.49%.

These four companies are all stones in the pit!

Without spending a lot of money, they can't take the stocks in their hands at all! After several days of negotiations, Wang Qi has a deep understanding of this!

Xia Yu's eyes narrowed, pondered for a moment, and then his eyes opened suddenly, looked at Wang Qi with burning eyes, and said, "Take Goldman Sachs!"

"Goldman Sachs?"

Wang Qi was stunned for a moment, and was surprised, he didn't expect the boss to target Goldman Sachs Group, which has the least shares.

However, if you can win Goldman Sachs, the gap with the Keswick family can return to the same running line.

"When the time comes, you go with me, I have a way to take it down, we just need to ......"

Xia Yu told Wang Qi about his plan, Wang Qi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and after listening, he couldn't help but praise: "Boss, according to your plan, it is really very likely to win the equity of Goldman Sachs, you can think of it, it's amazing!"

Xia Yu smiled faintly and calmly accepted Wang Qi's praise.

......

"Hello, Mr. James!"

"Hello gentlemen!"

"Mr. Xia, Mr. Wang, hello!

In the hall of the Xiangjiang branch of Goldman Sachs Group, Xia Yu took Wang Qi and Li Wuming to greet the senior executives of Goldman Sachs Group headed by James Richard.

"Inside, please!"

After greetings, Xia Yu and the others followed James Richard and others upstairs and came to the small conference room.

In addition to being used for high-level meetings of Goldman Sachs, this conference room also serves as a temporary reception hall for important people.

Obviously, in the eyes of James and other Goldman Sachs management, Xia Yu is a heavyweight.

After sitting down with each other, Xia Yu and Wang Qi sat on the left side, and James Richard and other three senior executives of Goldman Sachs Group sat on the right side.

When Xia Yu looked at James Richard and others, James Richard was also observing Xia Yu and Wang Qi, of course, the focus was on Xia Yu.

James Richard can only be regarded as a high-level member in the entire Goldman Sachs Group in the United States, but in Xiangjiang and even Southeast Asia, he is indeed the leader of the branch.

Limited by the development status of Southeast Asia, Goldman Sachs Group also attaches less importance to it, so a branch has been set up in the entire Southeast Asia region, which is located on Xiangjiang Hong Kong Island, responsible for the affairs of the entire Southeast Asia.

And James Richard, the general manager of the branch, has a very high degree of freedom, as long as it does not involve a large amount of investment, he can make a decision directly.

For example, now, for the 2.49% equity of Jardine Machinery Group that Xia Yu wanted, James Richard can also decide whether to sell or not on the spot!

What's more, it was James Richard who decided to hold the equity and not sell it, and wanted to bite the idea.

"Mr. James, I have a business that I want to work with you this time. ”

Xia Yu was the first to speak.

James Richard smiled, pretended not to know anything, smiled and made a gesture of listening, and said expectantly: "Mr. Xia, this is our company's honor, I don't know what kind of cooperation it is?"
