Chapter 980 Officially launched the acquisition of Cathay Pacific

Xia Yu smiled dumbly, shook his head and asked, "Lao Bao, are you so sure that I want to kill the Swire Consortium?"

Bao Yugang was stunned for a moment, and through Xia Yu's reaction, he realized that he seemed to have something wrong.

He said angrily: "Ah Yu, think about it yourself, didn't you take the lead in killing the four major British-funded consortiums, the third Hutchison Whampoa and the strongest Jardine Consortium? At that time, your strength was not as strong as it is now!"

"Your reputation has long been spread, I don't know how many people are thinking about when you will make a move against the remaining two British-funded consortia, not to mention our Chinese-owned, even if Norman Shi Yahuai has long been on guard. ”

"You go out and find a random colleague and tell him that you are interested in one of the companies of the Swire Consortium, do you think they will think that you are a signal that you want to do something to the entire Swire Consortium?"

Xia Yu didn't expect Bao Yugang to say this, he stared at it, and it seemed that he ...... Is that really what Bao Yugang said?

However, his cheeky kung fu has been perfected, and he does not feel embarrassed at all, and said with a light smile: "I don't know about this, next time I have the opportunity to ask." ”

Faced with Xia Yu's pretending to be deaf and dumb, Bao Yugang could only smile helplessly and shake his head.

After joking a little, Xia Yu's smile narrowed slightly, and said to Bao Yugang: "Old Bao, it hasn't reached this point yet, there are two fewer British-funded consortiums, and the impact is already great, if it is not necessary, it is better for the Swire Consortium and Wheelock to keep a buffer for the time being, and we will talk about it later." ”

"I'm just trying to buy Cathay Pacific right now!"

Bao Yugang bowed slightly, thought for a while and said, "I remember that Swire Aviation, the parent company of Cathay Pacific Airways, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Swire Pacific, right?"

Xia Yu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

After speaking, Xia Yu took out a folded drawing from his bag and handed it to Bao Yugang, saying: "Old Bao, you will be clear after reading it, this is the equity composition chart of Swire Airlines and its subsidiaries. ”

Bao Yugang immediately took it and opened it, and looked at it carefully.

Xia Yu drank tea by himself, waiting for Bao Yu to finish reading.

About five minutes later, Bao Yu just came back from his thoughts and asked Xia Yu: "Ah Yu, although Swire Air only holds 42% of the equity of Cathay Pacific, but with the shares held by the Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company and the Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company controlled by Swire Airlines, the shareholding ratio has reached 51%. ”

"And with your current relationship with HSBC, and considering HSBC's relationship with the Swire Consortium, Shen Bi may not be willing to sell you 20% of the equity he holds. ”

"And the relationship between the Song family and the Shi Yahuai family is not bad. ”

"Looking at it this way, Cathay Pacific can't talk at all!"

"What are you going to do, what do you need me to do, just say it, I promise to do my best!"

Xia Yu said with a smile: "Lao Bao, thank you, but don't pack the ticket so quickly, and then decide whether it is suitable to help after you listen to it." ”

Bao Yugang said with a smile: "What is appropriate or not, with our relationship, with your person, if it makes me very embarrassed, you will not bring it up, since you are here, you believe me, why are you polite to me!"

Xia Yu laughed and said loudly: "Then I'll make it clear, you listen to my thoughts." ”

"With the actual situation of Cathay Pacific, we can only use roundabout tactics to outwit it, so I plan to catch a fish and let the Shi Yahuai family bite the hook by themselves!"

"I will find a way to get the equity in the hands of Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC and the Song family, and in addition, my goal is to hold 5% of the equity held by the Xiangjiang Airport Ground Handling Company. ”

"You look at the equity of the Xiangjiang Airport Ground Handling Company. ”

Speaking of this, Xia Yu pointed to a position in the equity structure chart in Bao Yugang's hand.

"Swire only owns 41 percent of the shares, and then Cathay Pacific holds 4 percent of the shares, for a total of 45 percent, and the remaining 55 percent is in the hands of Cao Guangbiao, Lao Huo and me. ”

"I'm not worried about Lao Huo's equity, and I am also sure that Cao Guangbiao's will be secretly acquired, so the most important thing is to let Swire Airlines willingly take out at least 12% of the equity. ”

"Normally, Swire would not be willing to give up an equity stake, but the only thing Swire Airlines covets is your stake in Hactl. ”

"I hope that you will be able to replace the equity of the Xiangjiang Airport Ground Handling Company with a part of the equity and Swire Airlines while maintaining a controlling stake of more than 67% of the Heung Kong Air Cargo Terminal Company, and then transfer the equity to me, and I will make a time difference to complete the absolute control of the Heung Kong Airport Ground Handling Company, reorganize the board of directors, and forcibly transfer the 5% equity of Cathay Pacific Airways. ”

"I know that if you want to successfully acquire a majority stake in Cathay Pacific, you need a very high level of concerted action, maybe you succeed in selling the equity to me, I may not be able to succeed, but this is the way to achieve the highest success rate without a full-scale war. ”

After speaking, Xia Yu took a sip of tea and looked at Bao Yugang calmly.

Bao Yugang smiled and said, "Ayu, I understand what you mean, I did this!"

"Anyway, as long as the absolute controlling stake in Hactl is with me, I can dilute Swire Air's equity at any time, and if they turn around, there is an opportunity to force them to withdraw. ”

"My only worry is that I'm afraid that Norman Shiya won't be able to do this!"

"And there is also a loophole in your plan, that is, among the shareholders of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company, there are also Cao Guangbiao, Lao Huo and your Jiuding Industrial Group, Norman Shi Yahuai will definitely wonder, I know you, Lao Huo, and Cao Guangbiao, why do you have to spend a lot of money to replace their equity, is there any conspiracy?"

Xia Yu looked thoughtful, nodded and said: "Lao Bao, let's do it, I will let a British-funded company that has nothing to do with the two of us buy Cao Guangbiao's equity in advance, and then Lao Huo's equity, you can make an excuse that it has been used to pledge loans, and I can let people forge fake certificates and contracts, as for my equity, I can say to Swire Airlines that it has been acquired by you." “

Bao Yugang pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "This is barely reasonable, I acquired 15% of the equity held by Jiuding Industrial Group, under the pretext that there is too little to have no right to speak, let Swire Airlines transfer 12% to 15% of the equity to me, they are still the largest shareholder, and I surpassed Cao Guangbiao to be the second largest shareholder, this reason should be okay." ”

"Okay, just do what you say, you buy Cao Guangbiao's equity as soon as possible, and I can act. ”

"No problem!" Xia Yu said with a smile.

Then poured tea on Bao Yugang and his own teacups, raised his glass and smiled: "Old Bao, thank you!"

"Thank you, just a gesture!"

Bao Yugang smiled nonchalantly, and also raised the teacup to signal to Xia Yu.

After the matter was negotiated, Xia Yu chatted with Bao Yugang for nearly an hour, and when he saw that it was late, he said goodbye and left.

Early the next morning, Xia Yu immediately found Garth Liddell and instructed him to ask Standard Chartered Bank to come forward and buy the equity of Xiangjiang Ground Service Company held by Cao Guangbiao.

Cao Guangbiao has a deep business relationship with Standard Chartered Bank, and his Taiping Blanket Company and Yongxin Enterprise Co., Ltd. have both borrowed money from Standard Chartered Bank, so that Standard Chartered Bank will come out to buy it from him, presumably Cao Guangbiao will be easier to agree.

And Xia Yu also took into account another point, after the practice of acquiring Cathay Pacific Airways this time, his relationship with Standard Chartered Bank will cause many people to be suspicious, even if it is not exposed.

So instead of finding a new British-funded company to buy Cao Guangbiao's equity, it is better to let Standard Chartered Bank come forward.

Compared with an unfamiliar British-funded company, the complex business relationship between the Setherkoo consortium and Standard Chartered Bank is less likely to arouse Norman Shi Yahuai's suspicions.
