Nomura Securities Heung Kong Branch.

At this time, Nomura Securities, Daiwa Securities, and Goldman Sachs Group were engaged in tripartite negotiations, and the target of the negotiations was the equity of the Jardine Matheson Group Group in the hands of the securities companies of the two island countries.

Negotiations are nearing completion.

Because the possible interests involved are too great, it is inevitable that there will be many nights and dreams, and the negotiations will be at the highest level from the beginning, and James Richard will be in charge of it himself.

"Tuk Tuk!"

At this moment, a slightly rapid knock on the door sounded, and several people in the room talked about it.

Keisuke Takahashi was dissatisfied, he remembered that he had instructed that this negotiation was very important and that no one should come and disturb him.

But he was not stupid after all, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, apologized to James Richard and others, and then said in a deep voice: "Please come in!"

"Squeak......

As the door opened, everyone in the room was stunned when the person was revealed.

I saw a manager of Nomura Securities appear at the door, but his expression was very heavy, and his eyes were full of anxiety when he looked at Keisuke Takahashi, and he didn't think about any issues of dignity and inferiority, and directly hooked his hand at Keisuke Takahashi and motioned for him to come out.

Keisuke Takahashi frowned, then stood up and bowed slightly to James Richard, Ishikawa Taro and the others, and apologized: "I'm sorry, the company may be in a bit of a hurry, I'll go out and deal with it first, please wait for a while." ”

"Please!"

"Thank you!"

After Keisuke Takahashi went out, he immediately pulled his manager's subordinates to the edge of the corridor and asked with a serious expression, "What's the matter?"

"President, no, just now the Keswick family held a press conference, and all the shares of Jardine Machinery Group in the hands of Jiuding Securities Company and Galaxy Fund have been acquired by them!"

The manager's subordinate finished speaking in one breath, and then quietly looked at Keisuke Takahashi, waiting for his instructions.

"What? Are you sure?"

Keisuke Takahashi's face changed in an instant, his eyebrows were upside down, and his eyes were staring straight at his subordinates.

This news is so important that if it is true, he must make a decision right away!

Although Keisuke Takahashi's expression was very scary, the manager's subordinates still mustered up the courage and nodded heavily: "I'm sure, TVB broadcast the whole process live just now, and there is absolutely nothing wrong!"

"Yaga!"

Confirming the answer again, Keisuke Takahashi couldn't help but scold, his heart was in a mess.

"Whew!"

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"No, while James Richard doesn't know the situation, hurry up and sign the contract with him, if he knows, the current price will not be sold at all. ”

Thinking of this, Keisuke Takahashi's heart became urgent.

"You pay attention, if someone from Goldman Sachs Group comes, you can find a way to hold it off and don't let him come in and disturb us, understand?"

Keisuke Takahashi quickly gave the order in an unmistakable tone.

The manager's subordinates understood Keisuke Takahashi's intentions, and immediately raised their heads and nodded heavily: "Understood!"

Time was urgent, Keisuke Takahashi didn't talk nonsense anymore and walked directly to the conference room.

When he went in again, there was still a look of helplessness on his face.

"I'm sorry, but there's an order from the Tokyo headquarters to go back as soon as possible. ”

Keisuke Takahashi explained helplessly.

James Richard and Taro Ishikawa were a little surprised, and Taro Ishikawa asked directly, "And now?"

As he spoke, he glanced at James Richard, and it was obvious that the negotiations should continue.

"Mr. James, if not, let's take a step back and trade at 105 Hong Kong dollars. ”

Keisuke Takahashi said as he walked, and when he turned his back to Taro Ishikawa, one hand behind his back kept making a gesture, which happened to be seen by Taro Ishikawa.

Ishikawa Taro was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure, but his heart became suspicious.

But out of trust in his allies, Taro Ishikawa chose to believe it, and he nodded at James Richard, who was looking at him, and said, "Okay, I'm okay with that." ”

Buy it at a price of 105 Hong Kong dollars, and there is a profit of 15 Hong Kong dollars per share, which is also acceptable!

James Richard calculated in his heart, and didn't want to drag it out any longer, so he nodded in agreement: "OK!"

"Then let's sign the contract first!"

Keisuke Takahashi said, and then immediately beckoned to the employee waiting next to him, and the employee took out the prepared contract with the unfilled amount from the bag, filled in the amount, and quickly signed it, and then passed it to Taro Ishikawa, who signed it and gave it to Keisuke Takahashi.

Keisuke Takahashi took the contract and looked at it carefully.

Seeing James Richard burying his head in a serious look at the contract, Keisuke Takahashi became anxious, his brows gradually furrowed, and he glanced at the door from time to time, praying in his heart that the people of Goldman Sachs would slow down.

This strange behavior of Keisuke Takahashi was completely seen by Taro Ishikawa, and he asked Keisuke Takahashi with his eyes, Keisuke Takahashi squinted his eyes and gestured to James Richard, and then shook his head slightly at Taro Ishikawa.

This kind of performance made Ishikawa Taro's heart burst out, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

"Mr. James, don't worry, there are only a few terms, we don't dare to cheat you. ”

Keisuke Takahashi said with a smile, urging quietly.

"Hmm! get used to it!"

James Richard said with a light smile, he is already a veteran, this kind of simple contract, he can understand it without a lawyer, and it is clear whether he has fallen into nature or not.

"No problem!"

After saying that, James Richard picked up the pen, took off the cap, and found the right place to sign.

Watching James Richard's movements, Keisuke Takahashi's heart lifted, he couldn't help but hold his breath, his eyes looked at the tip of the pen held by James Richard, and shouted in anticipation: "Sign!

God always seems to like to play with people, and at this moment, there was a sudden quarrel at the door, which could still be heard even if the door was closed, and Keisuke Takahashi's face suddenly changed, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

James Richard's movements couldn't help but pause, and he subconsciously looked out the door.

Keisuke Takahashi hurriedly regained his composure and said apologetically: "Mr. James, I'm sorry, my company is not strictly managed, and it is estimated that it is common for employees to quarrel again." ”

"Oh, it looks like you still need to strengthen your management!"

This explanation was barely reasonable, and Keisuke Takahashi's face was not seen by him when his face changed, so James Richard didn't think about anything else, and continued to lower his head to sign.

"Knock knock! knock knock! knock knock......"

Just as James Richard had just written a few letters, there was a sudden and scattered knock on the door, and it was clear from the sound that the knocker was very strong.

"President, stop negotiating!

At the same time, a man shouted in English from the door.

"Is it Jones? Why is he here?"

Hearing this familiar voice, James Richard couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then looked at Keisuke Takahashi with a stiff expression.

At this time, James Richard came to his senses, and he immediately put down his pen and stood up to open the door.

Unexpectedly, the door was opened, and when Jones saw James Richard in front of him and the contract, he immediately shouted anxiously: "President, this contract can't be signed!"

"Yaga, it's over! It would be nice if he came a few minutes late!"

Keisuke Takahashi closed his eyes in despair, now this situation, everything is too late, he can't help but regret it now, he shouldn't have seen James Richardra for so long, he took a step back and promised him earlier, now that the contract has been signed a long time ago, there is no risk.

"I didn't sign it, what's going on?"

James Richard asked with a straight face.

"The Jardine Matheson Consortium held a press conference just now, and all the shares of Jardine Machinery Group in the hands of Jiuding Securities Company have been acquired by them!"

Joneston breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the contract had not been signed, and then replied.

“hat？”

Because it was too unexpected, James Richard spat out and made his debut.

When Jones nodded in reaffirmation, James Richard's face turned very ugly.

Not only because hundreds of millions of pies flew, but also because he thought of the strangeness of Keisuke Takahashi just now, his eyes were like knives, and he looked at Keisuke Takahashi.

"By the way, President, the people from Nomura Securities have been dragging me just now, and they don't want me to come in and report this situation to you!"

Jones said hatefully, looking at Keisuke Takahashi angrily, as if he wanted to go up and beat him.

And sure enough, it was!

Hearing Jones's words, James Richard's face was hot, and his heart was furious.

Obviously, this was the case that the people from Nomura Securities reported to Keisuke Takahashi just now, but Keisuke Takahashi lied to him and said that it was the Tokyo headquarters that asked him to go back.

And he immediately backed down and urged him to sign the contract, just to make a time difference, sell the stock to him while he didn't know the news, and pit him!

The little devil has sinister intentions, and his heart should be punished!

"Keisuke Takahashi, shouldn't you explain?"

James Richard looked down at the contract with a few letters, and became even more angry, grabbed it and tore it to pieces, slammed it on the table, and then confronted Keisuke Takahashi in a cold voice.

"I'm sorry, Mr. James, but I just learned about this ......."

Keisuke Takahashi smiled and wanted to explain, but he was only halfway through his speech when he was interrupted by James Richard without giving face.

"Smack!"

"You think I'm a fool?"

Seeing that Keisuke Takahashi was still trying to quibble, James Richard felt even more humiliated, and he slapped the table with a heavy slap and roared, venting his anger.

Originally, his status was higher than that of Keisuke Takahashi, and the United States was the master of the island country, so James Richard's mentality naturally felt superior.

But this short man he looked down on dared to play with him, this is definitely a provocation!

James Richard's eyes were like knives, he glanced at Taro Ishikawa, who was stunned, and then looked at Keisuke Takahashi deadly, his eyes full of coldness.

"No one can provoke Goldman Sachs without paying the price!"

"Let's go!"

Dropping a word, James Richard did not hesitate to take Jones outside.

"James ...... first"

Keisuke Takahashi opened his mouth and wanted to struggle again, but he didn't expect to be directly ignored by James Richard.

And when Jones passed by Keisuke Takahashi, he gave him a vicious look, and then followed James Richard away.

When James Richard and the others disappeared from sight, Taro Ishikawa, who had been silent, spoke up and comforted Keisuke Takahashi, whose face was ugly: "Takahashi-kun, if you want to open something, now let's hurry up and find a way to dispose of the stock." ”

Taro Ishikawa said it easily, after all, he didn't know, and James Richard wouldn't look for him if he wanted to get back on the field, and would only target Nomura Securities.

"Hey......"

Keisuke Takahashi sighed, his face was full of bitterness, he didn't succeed in his calculation this time, he didn't make any money, but offended James Richard, and he definitely lost a lot.

If Goldman Sachs Group had been looking for trouble with him and opposing them in the days to come, Nomura Securities would definitely not have survived, and might even suffer heavy losses.

Shaking his head, Keisuke Takahashi collected his mood slightly, he hadn't forgotten what was most important now.

With Jiuding Securities selling its shares to the Keswick family, Jardine Machinery Group has won the battle and lost the shares, and the ceiling of the stock price has fallen in an instant, presumably now the stock price has stopped, and it is even very likely to fall.

Because other speculators will definitely panic and clear their positions, if the Jardine Matheson consortium does not go all out to take over, the stock price will inevitably plummet.

So as Ishikawa Taro said, it's better to find a way to sell it at a high price, otherwise if it falls back to the original price, he will definitely die of distress.

If the stock price remains the same, he doesn't feel anything, but the most unacceptable thing in life is to get it and lose it, or almost it!

After experiencing ups and downs in a short period of time, the bitterness and complexity in my heart cannot be described in words.

"Takahashi-kun, time is urgent, I'll go back first!"

Taro Ishikawa opened his mouth, still not knowing how to comfort Keisuke Takahashi, he didn't feel comfortable staying, it was better to go back and deal with the stock as soon as possible.

"Ishikawa-kun, please!"

Watching Taro Ishikawa leave in a hurry, Keisuke Takahashi sighed again, then collected his mood and went to find a way to deal with the stocks.

James Richard, who was in a bad mood, straightened out his thoughts again on the way back, and wondered if Xia Yu had already arrived today.

It's a pity that this suspicion is destined to not be answered, and the agreement signed at the beginning did not explicitly stipulate that Xia Yu was not allowed to sell the shares.

James Richard can only reluctantly accept reality.

After that, Xia Yu took the initiative to find him and offered to give him a hardship fee of 5 million Hong Kong dollars, and also explained, at least on the face, James Richard could only think about it as an accident.

But the anger and depression in his heart did not go away, and naturally, Nomura Securities, who wanted to pit him, became a target, and in the days to come, Goldman Sachs did not find trouble with Nomura Securities.

Of course, that's all for later.

......

Then again.

Although John had been prepared for a long time and arranged manpower and funds to stabilize the stock price, because John arranged for TVB to broadcast live, the news spread too quickly, and the impact was also sharply inflated.

There are no fools who can play finance, because fools have long been drowned.

Therefore, after learning the news that the "stock god has lost", almost all institutions and shareholders panicked, because everyone knew that the victory and defeat had been divided, the dust had settled, and the stock price of Jardine Machinery Group had peaked!

Institutions that were still following the trend to raise prices immediately withdrew all their buy orders, while Jiuding Securities Company and Galaxy Fund had long since stopped placing orders, and the only thing left in the market was the buy orders arranged by the Jardine Matheson Consortium.

However, there are too many institutions and shareholders who want to clear their positions and flee, and a large number of stocks that they were eager for but cannot get before are smashed out like no money, and the buy orders placed by the Jardine Matheson Consortium are filled up in an instant, leaving a large number of sell orders on the market.

The stock price suddenly fluctuated violently, and because some institutions and shareholders had a strong desire to flee, they kept lowering prices to be the first to escape, so the stock price of Jardine Machinery Group began to decline.

Seeing this scene, Old John suddenly became anxious and fell into a dilemma.

Stabilize the stock price, just know that such a high stock price to take over, the cost will be very much, in the case of Jardine Machinery Group has been absolutely controlled, there is no need at all!

But if you don't stabilize the stock price, the consequences will be even more serious!

After all, only a small part of the funds spent on the acquisition of Xia Yu's shares are its own liquidity, and most of the others are collateralized by bank loans.

The mortgage is nothing else, including the shares of Jardine Machinery Group, which was originally owned in the hands!

If the stock price of Jardine Machinery Group plummets, the loss will be huge, after all, I don't know if the Year of the Monkey will be able to rise to this level again.

And the value of the stock has shrunk, and the bank will definitely not do it, saying that it is impossible to ask the Jardine Matheson consortium to come up with more valuable collateral and re-sign the mortgage contract.

In addition, the most important thing is that if the stock price cannot be stabilized, the prestige condensed by the victory that the Jardine Matheson consortium has won will be lost as the stock price plummets, how can this be!

Therefore, although he knew that it would cost a lot to stabilize the stock price, Old John could only grit his teeth and hold on, hoping to use a strong hand to appease the mood of institutions and shareholders and let them not flee again!

Of course, it is not without benefit to win the battle for Jardine Machinery Group, that is, the attacks of Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng and others seem to have cast a shadow.

In the opinion of Old John, it should be that there should be disagreements within Bao Yugang and other Chinese investors, and now they are hesitating and choosing to wait and see.

But at this point, Old John really thought wrong, because he didn't know that Xia Yu had used a real backhand!

Bao Yugang, Guo Desheng and others not only did not have disagreements, but because they learned the news of Xia Yu, they were more united and planned to take advantage of this season to swallow a large number of shares again.

After all, because of the associated negative impact, the stock price of the company targeted by Bao Yugang and others also fluctuated.

With the fall of the "stock god Xia Yu", who is the main force of the alliance in the eyes of outsiders, some institutions and individuals have taken a pessimistic attitude towards the short-lived alliance of Bao Yugang and others.

Seeing that the shareholders and institutions that originally held Jardine Machinery Group are now panicking and rushing to flee, these people have lingering palpitations, and some shareholders and institutions who are not greedy have chosen to accept it when they see it, and they have grabbed the equity and thrown it out.

That's fine, Bao Yugang and the others.

They were prepared for a long time, and they immediately ate these shares, and on the other hand, they also vigorously contacted those shareholders, trying to take this opportunity to take their shares.

Just when the undercurrent was surging, a piece of news was like a depth charge, which once again blew up the calmer public opinion on Hong Kong Island.

"Jiuding Securities Company held a press conference, and Xia Yu, the god of stocks, wants to announce heavy news!"

Xia Yu, who was already on the cusp of the storm, actually took the initiative to jump out! And the momentum was so huge!

What is Xia Yu going to do!

Everyone is curious!

The vast number of media quickly poured towards Jiuding Securities Company!

And old John also got the news, but old John had a bad premonition in his heart, and he had a feeling of panic, as if something very unfavorable to him was about to happen.

Because it is impossible for Xia Yu to hold a press conference in order to sell the stock to him, Xia Yu will only go against him, and it is impossible to help him!

"Quick, send someone to the scene immediately, and notify me as soon as you hear the news!"

Old John's face was solemn, and he immediately gave an order to Niu Bijian.

Xia Yu's news diluted Old John's joy of victory, and even cast a lingering shadow in his heart.

It can really be said that the mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings!
