Chapter 419: Win-Win (Asking for Votes)
After pondering for a moment, Shen Bi bowed slightly, looked at Xia Yu's eyes, and asked, "Yes, I don't know which companies' stocks Xia Sheng has taken a fancy to?"
"Dairy Farm Company, Gammon Construction and Jardine Matheson Motor Group!"
Xia Yu said the target lightly, but Shen Bi's brows wrinkled subconsciously.
Because HSBC doesn't own shares in any of these three companies!
In the past few days, predators from all over the world have rushed over to bite the Jardine Consortium, and many people have found HSBC for the sake of the equity of some companies.
For this reason, Shen Bi specially asked people to check what stocks of Jardine Matheson Consortium companies in the hands of HSBC.
He can be sure that there are absolutely no stocks of these three companies mentioned by Xia Yu.
"Xia Sheng, I'm sorry, HSBC doesn't have the stocks of these three companies. ”
Shen Bi said apologetically, and at the same time, he had no regrets in his heart, and he had no chance with these big businesses.
Hearing Shen Bi say this, Xia Yu did not have any disappointment, and still smiled.
Of course, HSBC does not have shares in these three companies, after all, these three companies are all private companies of the Jardine Matheson consortium, and they have all been privatized in recent years, and the equity should not have flowed out.
However, since Xia Yu mentioned it, he naturally has his thoughts.
"Shen Sheng, in fact, HSBC has the equity of these companies, isn't it Jardine Holdings, Jardine Pacific, and Jardine Matheson Group?"
Xia Yu reminded with a smile.
Shen Bi's brows furrowed at first, a little confused, but he knew that Xia Yu must have a deep meaning when he spoke.
What is the relationship between these three companies and those three companies?
After thinking about it carefully, a flash of light flashed in Shen Bi's mind, his eyes lit up, and he thought of what Xia Yu meant.
"Xia Sheng wants me to replace these shares of Jardine Holdings with the shares of the three companies you want, right?"
Although Shen Bi was asking, his tone seemed affirmative.
Xia Yu nodded: "That's right, the equity of Jardine's subsidiaries is easy to sell, but no one wants the equity of these holding parent companies, and HSBC can't sell it if it wants to, so it's better to replace it with the Keswick family and split some companies." ”
Jardine Holdings, Jardine Matheson Group, and Jardine Pacific are the controlling parent companies that belong to the Keswick family, and they have a very strong control over these companies.
The amount of equity in these three companies is very small, and HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank may have some.
Even if these small shares are taken by other consortium bosses, they will be a small shareholder, which will not affect the will of these three companies at all, and in the final analysis, it will be a chicken rib for them.
That is, the bank holds it in its hands and can get stable dividends.
Now that there are more companies under the Jardine Matheson consortium that can be robbed, why bother putting money in chicken ribs?
Other consortium bigwigs don't look down on some of the shares of these three companies, unless the Keswick family is willing to sell the shares of these controlling parent companies.
But it's impossible to think about!
So these stakes are in the hands of HSBC, and their value will shrink as the number of subsidiaries of the Jardine Matheson consortium continues to shrink.
Of course, this is not to say that these shares are useless, in fact, they are still very useful.
But it's only useful for the Keswicks.
At this time of critical survival, the major branches of the Keswick family will definitely find a way to cut off a large part of the unimportant companies, recover the capital, and then try to keep some important companies, especially the equity of these three parent companies, the more the better, so that they can achieve absolute control over the subsidiaries.
However, the Dairy Company, Golden Gate Construction and Jardine Motor Group that Xia Yu wants are also important companies for the Keswick family, and even if Xia Yu uses tough methods, he may not be able to win them all.
Therefore, HSBC needs to step forward and forcefully demand a split, replacing HSBC's equity with the shares of several subsidiaries.
This kind of thing, others may not be able to do it, but Shen Bi came forward, and the success rate is the largest!
Don't forget, the Jardine Matheson Consortium owes a lot of money to HSBC, and how could the Jardine Matheson Consortium acquire companies on a large scale without HSBC funding over the years?
At this critical time of survival, these arrears have become deadly bombs, and if HSBC forces them to repay the money on the grounds of fear of risk and insolvency, it will really kill them!
So even if these companies don't want to sell anymore, the Keswick family will still sell it because of reality.
After all, HSBC also wants these three, in addition to these three, the Jardine Matheson consortium also has a series of important companies such as Hongkong Group, Jardine Machinery Group, Jardine Real Estate Investment, Jardine Shipping, and Jardine Property.
Without these three companies, the Keswick family will be able to take more shares of other companies after the exchange of shares.
On the other hand, it's helping them streamline their strength.
Shen Bi fell into deep thought, thinking about how much equity HSBC owns in three companies, including Jardine Matheson Holdings and Jardine Pacific, what is the value, can it be successfully exchanged, and if so, how much?
Seeing Shen Bi thinking, the corners of Xia Yu's mouth hooked a curvature, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.
Shen Bi did not refuse, but was thinking, and it could be seen that he was tempted by Xia Yu's proposal.
This situation, Xia Yu expected it before he came, after all, Shen Bi is not stupid, Xia Yu's proposal is actually to help HSBC untie and let HSBC swim out of the whirlpool.
What's more, if you do this, HSBC can still make a profit, how to think about it and how cost-effective.
After a long time, Shen Bi came back to his senses from deep thought, and said to Xia Yu seriously: "Xia Sheng, yes, we will take over this business." ”
Just as Xia Yu smiled, Shen Bi continued: "However, I just calculated, the equity in the hands of HSBC is not enough to completely replace the three companies you want. ”
It turned out to be this!
Xia Yu's heart suddenly put down, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if it's not enough to replace it, I entrust HSBC to help me buy the insufficient part, I don't know if it's okay?"
Hearing this, Shen Bi, who had already prepared, smiled and nodded without hesitation: "Yes, we will take it." ”
This is what Shen Bi wants, so that he can get these three companies over with peace of mind.
It doesn't matter if the value of the equity replacement is insufficient, it has reached the point where it can be replaced, and the Keswick family can still hold a part of the equity?
HSBC wants it, and the Keswick family is not going to sell it yet!
What Shen Bi didn't say to Xia Yu was that in fact, without replacing this means, HSBC can get a lot of equity.
The three companies, Dairy Farm Company, Jardine Automobile Group, and Gammon Construction, all asked HSBC for money in order to develop, and Shen Bi could completely get shares at a low price by converting debt into equity.
Together, these two means are definitely enough to take all the shares of the three companies of the dairy company.
Get the stock at a low price, and then sell it to Xia Yu backhanded, and you can make a lot of profits.
However, how much you can earn depends on how much you can negotiate with Xia Yu when you negotiate with Xia Yu!
"Okay, Shen Sheng, then let's confirm the cooperation first, please borrow the phone, I'll let someone come over." ”
Xia Yu drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and said resolutely.
"Okay, please use it, I'll also arrange for someone to verify it first. ”
After that, Xia Yu immediately called Jiuding Securities Company and asked Wang Qi to come over with a lawyer and assistants.
After Wang Qi and others arrived, the people from HSBC also arrived.
The first is to discuss the matter of the billion-dollar loan, and the key to the negotiation is the loan interest rate and the proportion of the mortgage equity of the Wharf Group.
These were small and visible problems, and after some discussion, they were quickly discussed, and the two parties took the lead in signing the loan contract.
And then it's time for the main event!
Because HSBC does not have the equity of these three companies, Xia Yu signed an agreement to entrust the acquisition.
However, it is different from the entrustment agreement negotiated last time, this time we do not talk about the commission ratio, but directly negotiate how much the three companies will be sold to Xia Yu at a fixed price.
Xia Yu did not take advantage of HSBC, and after some negotiations, these three companies were packaged and sold to Xia Yu at a price of 900 million Hong Kong dollars.
Xia Yu had to guard against it, these three companies were too important to him, and they definitely couldn't afford to lose!
HSBC will definitely be able to get it at a very low price, but these have nothing to do with Xia Yu, after all, this is HSBC's ability, and this benefit should be obtained, as long as he guarantees that the company can get it.
The loan of one billion Hong Kong dollars, of which 900 million Hong Kong dollars will be returned to HSBC's pocket immediately, and the remaining 100 million Hong Kong dollars Xia Yu plans to invest in the rectification of other companies.
Under the witness of a specially invited third-party law firm, Xia Yu and Shen Bi signed and sealed on behalf of their respective companies.
As soon as the contract was completed, whether it was Xia Yu or Shen Bi, they were secretly relieved.
Carefully putting away the contract, Xia Yu stood up and shook hands with Shen Bi to thank him: "Shen Sheng, thank you very much!"
"You're welcome, it should be us who thank you for your business!"
Shen Bi hurriedly said, the smile on his face couldn't be concealed at all.
In his eyes, Xia Yu is the God of Wealth, and the two cooperation with HSBC are merged together, as long as HSBC operates reasonably, it is completely equivalent to lending Xia Yu 100 million cash, but it has become a business of 1.9 billion, which not only solves HSBC's problems, but also makes profits from several directions.
If this spreads, other banks don't know, and Standard Chartered Bank will definitely be envious.
However, Standard Chartered Bank is not envious of it, this kind of thing is done by HSBC in Xiangjiang, which is to make money by comprehensive strength.
Xia Yu is aware of this, so he is confident that Shen Bi will do it.
He also corrected his mentality, although HSBC can definitely make a lot of money, but he only needs to think that he will not suffer losses.
What's more, he didn't suffer a loss, so he took a loan of one billion, but he got three favorite companies and 100 million Hong Kong dollars, how do you want to make money!
There is a win-win business in this world!
