Chapter 370: If You Want to Fight, You Will Fight!
Xia Yu has been investigated for so many companies, and now he is in the center of the storm, which is very eye-catching.
Naturally, the scene of being investigated was seen by many people, including many reporters who were squatting.
In this critical period, being investigated by so many official departments means too many things, and it has to make people think about it!
Because of this, many newspapers the next day reported such news, using more exaggerated headlines than the other, lest the world be chaotic.
Fortunately, all the newspapers under Xia Yu did not mention these things, a few big newspapers did not mention it, and some small newspapers could not hype it up.
However, although there is little discussion, everyone who should know knows it, which also makes the situation in the battle for Jardine Machinery Group suddenly unclear and full of variables in the eyes of others.
So the next day, the share price of JEC Group slowed down a bit compared to yesterday.
The stock price rise is small, how can this be!
"Work hard, give me enough strength to raise the price and grab the chips, and raise the stock price for me!"
In the closed building where the Galaxy Fund was located, Xia Yu gave orders to the staff below with a serious face.
Didn't the Jardine Consortium make trouble for him just to consume his energy, control the stock price, and prevent it from soaring?
He also didn't let the Jardine Consortium get his wish!
Isn't the Jardine Consortium going to make the stock price rise more slowly?
Xia Yu was resolute to the end, raised the stock price to the end, showed firm determination, and strengthened the confidence of other funds that followed the trend!
And in order to get more benefits for himself, he also has to do everything he can to raise the stock price to the highest!
......
In a café, four people sit opposite each other, with quadruple coffee on the table, and although this is a quiet box of a high-end coffee shop, the atmosphere at this time is very solemn.
And if this meeting scene is filmed by reporters and spread, it will definitely cause a strong sensation in Hong Kong.
It's just because the protagonist of this meeting is too special!
Xia Yu and Wang Qi sat on the left, while on the right were John Keswick, the helmsman of the Jardine Matheson Group, and Niu Bijian, the Taipan of the Jardine Matheson Group.
Old John asked expressionlessly, looking straight at Xia Yu.
"Mr. Xia, I don't know what you think about?"
Xia Yu smiled playfully, and stroked the cup with his hand, as if he could see flowers on it.
Xia Yu's attitude made Niu Bijian beside Old John frown, and wanted to speak about Xia Yu, but saw Old John shaking his head slightly and stopped him with his eyes.
Old John was not in a hurry, he knew that Xia Yu was playing psychological warfare with him, or that there was an element of deliberately being angry, but he was not worried at all, and he didn't even have any waves in his heart, he had seen too many ups and downs in the business sea for decades!
Now his methods have worked, according to common sense, after all, Xia Yu is a newly rising Chinese boss, although they are enemies of each other, Old John is very recognized by Xia Yu's ability to make money, but he does not believe that Xia Yu can weave a network comparable to the Jardine Matheson consortium's century-old accumulation and network of contacts in such a short period of time.
In his opinion, Xia Yu will eventually bow his head aggrievedly under his oppression, since the result is already doomed, no matter how he does now, he will naturally be exposed in a few days.
Now that Xia Yu's fate is doomed, why bother how the grasshoppers that are about to fall jump?
Therefore, for Xia Yu's attitude at this time, Old John was very peaceful, looked directly at him coldly, and said nothing.
After a long time, Xia Yu stopped the movement in his hand, slowly raised his head to look at Old John, and the two looked at each other for several seconds.
At this time, Xia Yu sneered, speaking slowly, but his tone was very firm, and said: "Impossible, I am bound to win the Jardine Machine Group, if Mr. John thinks that he can force me to bow my head by using some unseemly means, it will only make people laugh and lose their big teeth!"
As the saying goes, clay figurines also have three points of qi, not to mention that Old John has been in a high position for decades!
Now that Xia Yu said it so bluntly, he directly lifted the covered layer of cloth and slapped him in the face, even though Old John's strong state of mind also made waves, and a nameless fire rose from the bottom of his heart.
Old John, who was sitting calmly, had his cloudy eyes as sharp as eagle eyes, and his gaze looked at Xia Yu like a knife, and he was not hiding it, and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Xia, you should understand the principle of accepting it when you see it, and you should understand everything if you are too late!"
"50 Hong Kong dollars a share, you sell me all the stocks in your hand, and promise not to snipe at other companies under my control again!"
Old John looked at Xia Yudao resolutely, in a completely non-negotiable tone.
In his opinion, this kind of request is already very tolerant for Xia Yu, and it can even be said that Xia Yu has been given another chance.
After all, Xia Yu made him lose control of Jardine Air Cargo Station and Jardine Insurance Company, two leading companies in their respective domains, and the stock price of Jardine Machinery Group was also speculated by Xia Yu from 27.5 Hong Kong dollars to the current price, giving him 50 Hong Kong dollars a share, which is enough!
It's just that in the eyes of Old John, he is particularly kind to Xia Yu, but in Xia Yu's opinion, Old John is now coercing him with power.
Yesterday, the closing price of Jardine Machinery Group reached more than 50 Hong Kong dollars a share, and today it soared to 60 Hong Kong dollars a share.
Think beautifully!
"Impossible, if you want to fight, I will fight, I am bound to win!"
Xia Yu's attitude was very resolute, and he looked at Old John without showing weakness, revealing an extremely firm look in his eyes.
Old John and Niu Bijian's faces suddenly changed greatly, Old John stared at Xia Yu like a devouring tiger, and his tone revealed a trace of gunsmoke: "Mr. Xia, don't make mistakes!"
"Humph!"
Xia Yu sneered and fought back: "Mr. John, I'm not scared, in the shopping mall, mergers and acquisitions are normal things, are you only allowed to buy other people's companies, and we are not allowed to counter takeovers?"
"If you have the ability, take care of your own company, don't give me a chance, instead of sitting here now and scaring me!"
"If there is any means, just use it, see if I'm afraid!"
In the end, Xia Yu's tone was also angry, but after finishing speaking, he felt unobstructed!
There are so many moths in one day, although Xia Yu is not in a hurry, but the depression in his heart has accumulated a lot, and he just took this opportunity to vent it!
Otherwise, he would really be afraid of his Jardine Consortium!
In the final analysis, the Jardine Matheson Consortium is just a small regional consortium in the underdeveloped regions of the world today, and its control capital is only more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to several billion US dollars.
If the Jardine Matheson Consortium is the kind of Rockefeller or Morgan Consortium, where the company goes bankrupt and closes down at the worst, and the government is manipulated to wage war, he will never dare to brush the tiger's whiskers at a young age.
To blame Xia Yu for his too high vision and too broad heart, the powerful Jardine Matheson Consortium that is feared like a tiger in the eyes of Hong Kong people is like that in Xia Yu's view, there is no sense of awe and fear at all.
If you fight, you fight, and it's not that you don't have the power to fight back!
It's better to offend Old John, anyway, Xia Yu has already made up his mind to get him, if Old John is still amiable, Xia Yu may be embarrassed to make a heavy hand!
"Huh!"
"Okay, since Mr. Xia is so confident, let's keep looking!"
Old John looked at Xia Yu fixedly for a few seconds, then retracted his gaze and said lightly.
After saying that, he stood up and walked outside with a gloomy face.
"We'll see!"
Xia Yu also dropped a sentence indifferently and watched Old John and Niu Bijian leave.
"Boss, John Keswick really thinks we're going to eat us, hehe!"
Wang Qi said with a chuckle.
"Huh!"
"The Jardine Matheson Consortium is indeed strong, but our strengths are precisely their weaknesses, of course, it is difficult to deal with us head-on, if a manufacturer like Lin Baixin or a real estate developer like Li Jiacheng offends him, the Jardine Matheson Consortium has a lot of means to play. ”
"To deal with us, we can only use some unsightly means, shame!"
Xia Yu smiled, shook his head slightly mockingly, and analyzed.
"That's true, or boss, you have the foresight, starting from the media and finance, these two industries are strong industries at both offensive and defensive ends, and they can attack and retreat, and they can be defended with ease!"
Wang Qi nodded in agreement and said with admiration.
"Haha!"
"Wang Qi, when will you learn to pat on the back?"
Hearing this, Xia Yu glanced at Wang Qi with some surprise, and said with a smile.
"No, no, I'm absolutely from the bottom of my heart, and I don't mean to brag about it!"
Wang Qi hurriedly explained seriously, not admitting that he was patting on the back at all.
"You, you, haha!"
Xia Yu pointed his finger at Wang Qi and nodded, shook his head slightly and smiled.
"Alright, it's not too early, let's go back, since old John told us to walk and see, if we don't move, won't it disappoint him?"
"Step up your actions after you go back, it should be these two days!"
After Xia Yu finished speaking, he took the coffee and drank it all, picked up the napkin and rubbed the corner of his mouth elegantly, then stood up and walked outside.
After John and Xia Yu broke up, he immediately went back to exert more pressure, and not long after, he boarded a plane to Singapore, with the obvious goal of taking a 5.24% stake in Jardine Machinery Group owned by Singapore's Temasek Investment Company.
On the phone before, he had already talked to Li Yao on the phone, Li Yao was in charge of everything, and did not pay attention to the battle for the Jardine Machinery Group, but he was a good person, and after Old John called in person, he realized that there was a problem.
And when he doesn't know the situation, of course he won't promise easily, but Old John begged to come to the door, Li Yao already had the intention of transferring the stock to Old John, but this is also an opportunity, for him as a politician, anything can be a bargaining chip in his favor, of course he has to make good use of it.
Sensing Li Yao's attitude, Old John also wanted to seek stability, so he agreed with Li Yao to go to Singapore to talk to him face-to-face.
When Old John went to Singapore, Xia Yu's phone call also played a role, and the network energy of Jiuding Securities Company began to be revealed.
Those investors have the same interests as Xia Yu, Xia Yu is doing well, they will be able to get more benefits, Xia Yu falls, and the money they invested will also lose.
With common interests, it is natural to work hard to maintain Xia Yu, and with their containment, the power of the Jardine Matheson Consortium's offensive is greatly reduced.
In addition, Xia Yu's success or failure is not only related to himself, but also to whether Li Jiacheng, Zheng Yu and others can take a bite of meat, the arrow has been wound, it is impossible to take it down again, and he must shoot a prey before he is willing to give up!
So for their own interests, these Chinese bigwigs called one after another to inquire and care about Xia Yu's situation.
Xia Yu naturally realized that this was a good opportunity, so he didn't hide anything, and directly informed everyone of the Jardine Matheson Foundation's tricks.
After understanding the situation, these Chinese bigwigs patted their chests and promised to mobilize their connections to help Xia Yu.
All of a sudden, the phones in the offices of the leaders of the major departments of the Hong Kong government rang intensively.
Just like a high-ranking third-in-command of the Xiangjiang Industry and Commerce Bureau, he has received calls from Bao Yugang, Li Zhaoji, Wang Dehui and other three Chinese bigwigs, although the three of them said different things, but the meaning of the words is surprisingly consistent, that is, to take care of Xia Yu's company and help Xia Yu speak.
Originally, the third-in-command turned a blind eye to Xia Yu's company by the second-in-command in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and he was completely a cold bystander.
But after receiving the request of so many Chinese bigwigs, he had to pay attention to it, and made up his mind to use his rights to compete with the second-in-command and give Xia Yu a hand.
This kind of situation is not only happening here in the Department of Industry and Commerce, but also in many departments.
The benefits of having more friends are evident at this moment.
Xia Yu alone is not the opponent of the Jardine Matheson Consortium, but when these Chinese bigwigs who have accumulated more than Xia Yu make a move, the resistance to these tricks of the Jardine Matheson Consortium rises sharply, and there is no way to unify the opinions within various departments, how can you have the time and mind to find trouble with Xia Yu?
At this time, Old John also left Xiangjiang, and Henry, Charles, and Niu Bijian's face was not as big as Old John, and after learning of this situation, they all felt very troubled and hurriedly reported to Old John.
After learning of this situation, Old John couldn't help frowning, thinking for a long time, although he was unhappy, he still put it down for the time being, packed up his mood, and took the equity in Temasek's hands first.
As long as we take a 5.24% stake in Temasek, plus the stake that Jardine Matheson already owns, we will be able to own about 44% of the stake, and the security will be greatly improved.
Part of the pressure on his body can be dissipated, or transferred to Xia Yu.
The impact of the struggle between politics and business was far-reaching, and many Chinese bigwigs began their own actions.
For a while, some people felt that the sky of the entire Xiangjiang River was unconsciously filled with a sense of depression that the mountain rain was about to come.
Many people have to be vigilant, and some financial investment companies have naturally slowed down the pace of their plans, ready to wait and see the situation for the time being.
The wind is blowing~
