Chapter 629: Exposure (1st Update)
"As you know, I went back to the UK some time ago to buy a house, but unfortunately I encountered difficulties, and I was approached by the Bright Fund halfway, and the Bright Fund offered to assist me in acquiring the target, and the price was the equity of Hongkong Land Group, so I agreed to sell the equity to the Bright Fund at the market price. ”
Here, Bolton Keswick panicked without blinking, turning the premium of 20% into parity, in order to cover up the proceeds of his acquisition of Rodney Keswick's stake in Hongkong Land.
With his knowledge of Rodney Keswick, it would be a big trouble to let him know that he had made more than 100 million profits, so Bolton Keswick naturally thought about himself.
As for whether others believe it or not, it has nothing to do with him!
Anyway, he sold the shares at parity, and I believe that Bright Fund, another vested interest in the know, would also like him to pass it on and reduce costs for subsequent acquisitions.
If the rest of the family is really affected and loses benefits, hehe, what does it have to do with him?
"As for the Bright Fund, I don't know much about it, I only know that the Bright Fund and Duke Howard jointly acquired Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, and also owns the Financial Times Group and the Daily Telegraph. ”
Speaking of this, Bolton Keswick spread his hands and said that he was gone.
In fact, he still has one of the most important pieces of information he didn't say, that is, after his inquiry, there is an important shareholder of Bright Fund from Xiangjiang, and it is very likely to be Xia Yu.
When he learned the news, he was also stunned, and even regretted panicking for a while, but after calming down, he thought that the stock had been sold, and he couldn't get off the ship.
This extremely important information, he thought about it carefully or was not prepared to tell others, just as if he didn't know, and saying it would only be harmful to himself, after all, what he did was completely traitorous.
As for the impact on others?
Or is that sentence, what does it matter to him?
Although they belong to the same family, the family affection is long gone, so it is better to take care of their own interests.
It can be said that Bolton Keswick shows the selfishness of human nature to the extreme.
In fact, just the information he said was enough for Dick Keswick and others to analyze.
I saw that the four of them were all staring and thinking, and combined with the information that Bolton Keswick said, they analyzed the true intention of Bright Fund to acquire the shares of Hongkong Land Group.
They are still very clear about the original official background of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, and they are also concerned about Margaret's rise to power and the political views of the Conservative Party, and of course they are more aware of the status and energy of Duke Howard in Britain.
At the critical juncture when the Conservative Party first came to power, the Bright Fund was able to join Duke Howard to acquire Rolls-Royce Motor Cars with a national defense background, which shows that the background and energy of the Bright Fund will definitely not be bad.
It makes a lot more sense for such an unknown and powerful company to suddenly acquire a stake in Hongkong Land, which is far away from the UK.
Dick Keswick knew the sensitivity of capital to politics, so he was excited to think about it from the political side and analyze the information.
He thought about it, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "Everyone, although Hongkong Land Group is one of the largest companies in Xiangjiang, we know that the particularity of Hongkong Land Group should not be targeted by investment companies far away in the UK, so the only possibility is that the new government's position on Xiangjiang is firmly maintained." ”
"Bright Fund believes that the real estate industry in Hong Kong is bright, so it will hold the equity of Hongkong Group. ”
"Even the British government has this attitude, so we should stay in Hong Kong and make more profits, rather than go against the policy and return to the UK. ”
Phil Keswick perked up and immediately agreed: "That's right, Dick's analysis is very reasonable, at any time, if you want to earn, you must follow the trend, and it is more beneficial for us to stay in Xiangjiang." ”
Rodney Keswick, who had already sold his equity, nodded subconsciously, feeling that what they said made some sense, and suddenly regretted selling the equity of Hongkong Land Group.
Instead, Bolton Keswick sneered in his heart, but continued to remain silent.
Claude Keswick's position was very firm, he took in everyone's performance, thought for a moment and said: "Dick, this is just your analysis, until we know the background of the Bright Fund, we should not hastily decide the future path based on a guess. ”
"What's more, now that our family's control over Hongkong Group has become a loophole, if you want to stay in Xiangjiang, you should be more concerned about Bright Fund's acquisition of Hongkong Group's equity, with the purpose of pure investment? or for ...... Acquisition!"
When he said the word "acquisition", his tone was a little meaningful, and he also gave Bolton Keswick a glance.
Bolton Keswick's face did not change, and he did not seem to hear what Claude Keswick meant.
Sure enough, when it came to the control of Hongkong Land, Dick Keswick's face was solemn again.
He also knew that the question of going to stay would still be over, and the most important thing now was to keep the core of the Hongkong Land Group, he thought about it and said in a deep voice: "You are right, it is a matter of the interests of all of us, I hope everyone will mobilize their connections to investigate the details of the Bright Fund." ”
"And!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly increased his voice, looked at Claude Keswick and Rodney Keswick, and said solemnly: "Claude, Rodney, danger is coming again, and I hope you will not be like Bolton and put all of us at a disadvantage. ”
Claude Keswick nodded and said lightly, "I know." ”
Rodney Keswick, who had already sold his stake, also nodded unchanged.
As for Bolton Keswick, he had already been ignored by the annoyed Dick Keswick, and the former didn't care, shrugging his shoulders and drinking his coffee.
After that, Dick Keswick and Phil Keswick hurriedly left, and the remaining three got up to break up.
When Rodney Keswick was about to leave, Claude Keswick suddenly asked, "Rodney, your stake has been sold, right?"
The unprepared Rodney Keswick's face changed, and although he quickly returned to his composure, the result was already obvious.
Claude Keswick's heart sank, and without waiting for Rodney Keswick to explain, he sneered: "It seems that Bright Fund already holds 19.9% of the equity, and the purpose is to acquire Hongkong Group." ”
He stared at Bolton Keswick like a knife, and said in a deep voice: "Bolton, I know you still have key information to say, our position is the same, now that Dick and Phil are gone, you should say this, right?"
Bolton Keswick's expression was a little unnatural, and he smiled and denied: "Claude, everything I know has been said, and I can't help it if you don't believe me." ”
Rodney Keswick also packed up his mood at this time, since he had already been guessed by Claude Keswick, he calmed down, and also stared at Bolton Keswick and said: "Bolton, I know that you assisted the Bright Fund in acquiring the equity and made a lot of money, since I sold it, then I don't regret it." ”
"But you must let us know the truth, lest we suffer even greater losses!"
"Burton, we need the truth, don't worry, we won't tell Dick and Phil. ”
"Only when I know the situation can I decide whether to sell the equity of Hongkong Land Group in my hand or not!"
Claude Keswick continued, even with a vague hint of seduction.
Sure enough, when it comes to making money, Bolton Keswick is tempted.
In addition, depending on the situation now, he can't leave if he doesn't say it, so he thought about it, spread his hands and said, "The information I know clearly has been said, but there is still an uncertain news that has not been said." ”
As soon as these words came out, Claude Keswick and Rodney Keswick immediately looked at him with burning eyes.
Bolton Keswick said: "I have also heard that one of the owners of the Bright Fund is from Xiangjiang, and it is very likely that he is ...... Xia Yu. ”
"Who?!"
"Xia Yu?"
Claude Keswick stood up in shock, staring at Bolton Keswick with a fixed gaze.
Now that he has said it, there is no pressure, Bolton Keswick shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "You heard it right, it's Xia Yu!"
"Hiss......"
Claude Keswick took a deep breath and squinted at Bolton Keswick for a long time.
