Chapter 820: An Unexpected Surprise
At this time, if Lorence Kadoorie does not regret it, it is absolutely false.
For the sake of an unimportant stake in the Heung Kong telephone company, but the pearl in the hands of his family is about to be lost, and the management of this hotel, which was passed to him by his father Elie Kadoorie, is now lost at the peak of the family's strength.
The Kadoorie family has lost all face!
He is also in his eighties, and he has not much time to live, so if he goes to heaven in the future, how will he face his father?
Not only that, but it also provoked the targeting of the Jiuding Consortium.
I thought that the Swire Consortium would be able to do it, but who knew that the Jiuding Consortium's methods were so sharp, and before the Swire Consortium could react, the matter was a foregone conclusion.
But now that things have come to this point, it's too late to regret it, and all that Lorence Kadoorie can think of is to make up for the loss as soon as possible, or avoid a bigger loss.
If the Swire Consortium doesn't do it, he will make it difficult for Norman Shi Yahuai!
Lorence Kadoorie secretly made a decision in his heart, it was a big deal to raise his hand to surrender and avoid greater losses, what about the Swire Consortium, what does it have to do with him!
Norman Shi Yahuai also heard something wrong from Lorence Kadoorie's tone, his heart sank, pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Lorantz, I really regret what happened in the past two days, I didn't expect the Jiuding Consortium to start so quickly, so fast that we didn't have time to react, they had already calculated." ”
Roland Kadoorie said: "Norman, I understand all this, I don't blame you, I just want to know, what should I do next? “
"My equity has been diluted, and what will happen next, I can't predict it, and I can't stop it. ”
"And the company controlled by our Kadoorie family, but China Power Power is a listed company, and if they are also attacked, it will be a huge trouble. ”
"Norman, I must prepare enough funds to resist risks, and I can only withdraw from the acquisition of shares in the Xiangjiang Telephone Company. ”
After speaking, he looked at Norman Shi Yahuai with burning eyes.
He had to have an affirmative answer from Norman Shi Yahuai, otherwise he would not be at ease!
Norman Shi Yahuai was in a complicated mood, and said with a slight bow: "The newly acquired shares of the Xiangjiang Telephone Company can be transferred to me in full. ”
"The equity held by Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group depends on how you choose. ”
"On the CLP Power side, you can rest assured that you and I hold a total of 45% of the shares, and the risk is very small. Standard Chartered Bank, the second largest shareholder, has a close relationship with us and has a tight competitive relationship with Jiuding Bank, so it is unlikely that we will sell their stake to them. ”
Hearing Norman Shi Yahuai say this, Lorence Kadoorie remembered the performance of the representative of Standard Chartered Bank yesterday, and his heart was a little settled, and he had greater confidence in Standard Chartered Bank.
But Norman Shi Yahuai said this, and did not show much substantive commitment, and Rorentz Kadoorie was not satisfied, and he said in a deep voice: "Norman, no matter what, I still need to prepare enough funds, and your side must support me." ”
Norman Shi Yahuai nodded without hesitation and said: "No problem, I will contact the financial institution and raise another 200 million Hong Kong dollars today and tomorrow to ensure that I can support you at any time." ”
"By the way, Roland, aren't you still the chairman of the board of directors of Baoyuan Investment Xiangjiang Co., Ltd., the strength of the Schroder Group is far stronger than our Swire Consortium, don't forget to ask for help from there. ”
Baoyuan Investment Heung Kong Co., Ltd. is a financial investment company that provides customers with high-quality asset management and investment services, with three major shareholders, namely Schroder Group, which holds 45% of the shares, Standard Chartered Bank, which holds 35% of the shares, and Kadoorie Family, which holds 20% of the shares.
Founded in 1804, Schroders Group has a history of more than 170 years, is an internationally renowned asset management group, headquartered in London, is a financial giant in the United Kingdom, the future Schroders Group global assets under management of more than 260 billion US dollars.
Baoyuan Investment Heung Kong Co., Ltd., although Schroder Group is the largest shareholder, but it handed over the management rights to the Kadoorie family, which shows that Schroder Group still has a lot of trust in the Kadoorie family.
That's why Norman Schiawy suggested that Lorence Kadoorie go to the financial giant for help.
Roland Kadoorie nodded and said lightly: "I understand......"
......
On the way back, Lorence Kadoorie leaned back on the leather seat of the car and carefully pondered what to do with his stake in the Shanghai Hotel Group.
The loss is a foregone conclusion, but he is not willing to sell the equity directly to Ji Wei, even if it is useless to struggle, he has to delay it for a longer time to make Ji Wei and Liang Zhonghao more troublesome.
In special times, it is impossible to use the equity held as a trading chip.
Halfway through, Lorence Kadoorie went to Baoyuan Investment Heung Kong Co., Ltd. and instructed the company's employees to set up a buyout team to secretly buy shares of CLP Power.
He also had to make this decision, but his strength was not strong enough to wholly acquire CLP Power.
The Kadoorie family now holds 34 percent of the shares of CLP Power, and as long as the Kadoorie family holds more than 35 percent of the shares in the name of CLP Power China, it has no choice but to make a full takeover offer to all shareholders.
This news leaked out, you don't have to think about it to know that the Jiuding consortium will come forward to make trouble, which will lead to a sharp rise in stock prices and greatly increase the acquisition cost of the Kadoorie family, with the strength of the Kadoorie family, the probability of failure is too high, and it is easy to be suppressed by the Jiuding consortium The stock price will be suppressed, and the acquisition will be lost after the failure, and the shares acquired at a high price will be sold at a low price, and the shareholding ratio will be reduced to less than 35%.
It was precisely because of this concern that Rorentz Kadoorie thought of letting Baoyuan Investment Heung Kong Co., Ltd., which he managed, come forward to buy it, and then transfer the equity to his family name in one fell swoop at a critical time.
Even if it is not transferred, it does not hurt to put it in the hands of Baoyuan Investment compared to a limited company, and with the support of Schroders Group and Standard Chartered Bank, there is no need to worry about things going wrong.
There is no safer way to be a white knight yourself!
Lorence Kadoorie thought he was doing it safely, but he didn't know that Standard Chartered was a time bomb.
As soon as he arranged for a secret purchase of shares in CLP, the news reached the ears of Garth Liddell, the president of Standard Chartered Bank.
As soon as he heard the news, Garth Liddell thought that he had misheard, and after repeatedly confirming that it was correct, he immediately ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on the every move of the China Power Company's stock acquisition team in real time.
Immediately afterwards, he sent someone to pass the news to Xia Yu.
Xia Yu, who was about to go to the Rosschild Father and Son Xiangjiang Co., Ltd., learned the news, and he was even more sure of seizing the China Power Company.
If Rolands Kadoorie wants to buy it, he can buy it, and wait until the peaches are ripe, and then seize it in one fell swoop, and it will be worth it for Standard Chartered Bank to jump back at that time.
The victory of the Shanghai Hotel Group in Hong Kong has been decided, and the competition plan of the China Power Company has also taken the initiative, so the Xiangjiang Telephone Company, which has the smallest success rate, must exert its strength.
With the resources of the Rothschild family, it is natural to make full use of them.
The Shi Yahuai family can not give him face, but dare not give face to the Rothier family, right?
Soon, Xia Yu quietly came to Rothschild Father and Son Xiangjiang Co., Ltd. and met Charles Rothschild, who had been waiting in the company for a long time.
